Chapter 870: The gentleman is safe and does not forget the danger
ps: There is another chapter at 12 o'clock, push the old driver Sanhong's "Five Thousand Years of Battle", which is very interesting and the history is infinite
It has only been less than ten days since the start of the war, although many Zhao troops have penetrated deep into the river, so that the Qi people are at a disadvantage, if they go out and pull the soldiers of Gaotang and Linzi over, they may not lose so quickly, but Chen Heng still quickly sent people to sue for peace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The retainers and staff of the Zhao family were overjoyed, and it was naturally good to be able to surrender the soldiers without a fight, and they persuaded Zhao Wuxian to accept the request for peace, and after recovering the river, he could liberate the labor and continue to devote himself to spring plowing and summer planting.
How could Zhao Wuxian not know Chen Heng's Xiao Jiujiu, he said to everyone: "I know this person too well, Chen Zichang's move is like a strong man breaking his wrist and abandoning the land to protect the people, if I guess correctly, he wants to make the Zhao army stop attacking, so as to take the opportunity to move the population of the river." ”
Unlike what Wei thought, after learning that Zhao Wuxian wanted to cut down the river, Chen Qi, Chen Heng and his son were ready to give up here.
The river is a vast plain formed by the impact of the tributaries of large rivers, but it has always been a blank area with swamps, tidal flats and saline land. Most of the Rongdi tribes here do not have a household Qi people, the population is difficult to count, but at most no more than 100,000, the newly established cities of the Qi State in the past six years, such as Dongwu City, Fuliu, etc., are also mostly for military purposes, all this land to the Chen family to bring little taxes, mainly as the base camp of the defense depth of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, once the Jin Kingdom gets the river, the Gao Tang on the other side will face the threat.
But if the Zhao clan pressed too hard, for the sake of a decisive battle with the Zhao clan in this place in Hejian, in Chen Heng's opinion, he felt that the gains outweighed the losses, not to mention that they did not have the belief in victory, even if they made great efforts to repel the Zhao clan's attack, the Great Wall in the south was empty, and the Lu State and the country and the Gao Yu party would also take advantage of the situation, compared to the threat from the Zhao clan, the exiled country and the remnants of the Gao clan were what the Chen clan was most worried about.
Therefore, Chen Heng decided to further shrink the defensive line, so that the soldiers could be effectively concentrated, as he said in his letter, although the Qi State has repeatedly lost its divisions and lost ground, it is still a country of four stops, and it is not difficult to defend.
Therefore, he has long been working on the matter of relocating the population, moving the river into a white land, and then relying on the big river and the fortressed cities such as Gaotang and Yiyi to defend it, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort, and the Chen family's big river boat division is enough to cut off anyone who tries to cross the river!
However, this wish for peace was not accepted by the Zhao family at the first time, and Zhao Wuxian ignored the Chen family, "Stop, stop!" Shouting, he ordered several armies to continue to advance, dividing and surrounding the stronghold of Qi between the rivers, leaving only Dongwu City to remain without fighting, and only after learning that the banditry in the direction of Lu did not get a bargain for attacking the Great Wall of Qi, he agreed to Chen Heng's request.
As a result, the Chen family only had time to move one-third of the population of Hejian Land, and they also took in the remaining more than 1,000 defenders of Tobu City, and wanted to redeem it, but they were afraid that there would be some blood again......
The armistice agreement was signed in the main stream of the big river, and the tributary of the west is called the "Qing River", the water is more turbid "Turbid River" The water flow is rapid and wide, especially in the spring and autumn era when the water is abundant in the north, you can't see the edge at a glance, if you push forward more than a thousand years, in the era of Dayu's water control, the entire North China Plain is the Ze country where it flows.
The Chen clan can admit cowardice, can be subordinate, and at the same time extremely forbearing, after the theft of the Black Flag River pirate ship a few years ago threatened the safety of shipping, they increased their attention to the boatmaster. Chen's big river water division, with five large wings, dozens of small wings in the middle wing, and nearly 100 ships, does have the ability to block and break the pontoon bridge of the Zhao army, Zhao Wuxian wants to cross the river in one go, although it can be done, but the loss will never be small.
What's more, if you want to fight Gaotang, Yiyi, and even Linzi, it will be a battle for the whole country, maybe there will be no result in fighting for two or three years, and then the treasury will be empty and the soldiers will be tired, but let Han Wei slowly recover and develop, and let Wu Chu go north, wouldn't it be bad? Zhao Wuxian is not interested in learning from Cao Cao to cut off the flow, and then years of hard work turned into nothing, what is needed now is stability, not urgency.
The country of a thousand times cannot be achieved overnight, but can only be cut with a blunt knife and slaughtered slowly.
"Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then have two or three years to sleep, look at the four realms, and Zhao Bing is ...... The more complicated it is, the more urgent it is, so the victory or defeat of the strong or weak without a fight has been decided, and as for subversion, it is natural to do so. Standing on the edge of the Turbid River, Zhao Wuxian smiled, he was one step closer to Gaotang and Linzi.
In this way, there is also an advantage, that is, to spread a false impression to the princes and Han Wei: the Zhao clan destroyed the dynasty in order to take revenge, recapture Hejian, to recover the lost territory, and at the same time increase prestige, Zhao Wuxian pursued the hegemony of the Jin State like his ancestor Zhao Xuanzi, not to annex the world.
Therefore, since the beginning of the Lu State, although there has been an opportunity to wipe out more than a dozen small states in Sishang, Zhao Wuxian has not lost any of the Sheji, except for the Rong Di Dynasty who usurped the king. It is necessary to find ways not to let the enemy twist into a rope, which is a necessary quality for seeking the world. It is indeed legendary and happy to kill all sides like Napoleon and defeat several anti-French alliances in a row, but whether it is the people or the country's war machine, there will be a tired day.
At the end of January, the army was dispatched, and the war ended at the end of February.
The victory was so easy, for a while, the Zhao family was jubilant, and even Zhao Wuxian was a little proud.
The Zhao family returned with a great victory, because there was no major battle, and the casualties were only a few hundred, of course, except for the 200,000 stone of corn that the Chen family promised to "compensate" for the loss of the Zhao family, 5,000 catties of kudzu hemp, and 2,000 bells of salt
Otherwise, there are no ready-made loot to speak of.
Although Hejian was known in later generations as "the land is on the seashore, the salt is profitable, and the military government is funded." Another boat
Che Tongli, the Quartet for 100 million, all take Yan. "But in this era, the population is small, the land is poor, and if you want to be rich, you still need decades or even hundreds of years of development.
The purpose of Zhao Wuxian's attack on Hejian is more of a strategic aspect.
This place is the water and land rush of the North China Plain, south of the river, Ji, west of Handan, Dongyang, seize here, not only to expand the depth of Yecheng, make the base camp safer, but also to approach the Tang Dynasty, so that the Chen family can not sleep day and night, can not develop internal affairs, restore the national strength of the Qi country.
Zhao Wuxian immediately merged this newly acquired narrow piece of land, together with the cities of Guantao and other cities in the south, into one county: Hejian County, which was the third county under the Zhao family, and was governed in Julu City on the bank of Julu Ze, with Zhao's old retainer Yang Yin as the county guard, and Yang Tongue Rong as the county governor.
In the official office, he smiled and said to everyone: "The Qi people built the city, and the Zhao family took over, so the city between the rivers is ready-made." ”
"Guantao County, Julu County, Wusui Road, Dongwu City Road, Fuliu Road, for the time being, list two counties and five roads, in addition to Julu and Guantao, the remaining three provinces are exempt from one year of taxation, and they should set up pavilions as soon as possible to organize households and people."
After the end of the war, he assigned trivial matters to his ministers, and it was rare to relax, and Zhao Wuxian's slackness and arrogance were also to the extreme, so he went to take a look at Juluze, who had no time to play a few days ago.
……
Julu Ze is located in the center of the North China Plain, it is rumored that "Dayu guides the river, the north passes through the water, as for the mainland", the mainland is also Julu, the north of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Jiangnan water town of later generations is also similar, especially the water network in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the lake is broad, this Julu Ze has the Qing River, Zhangshui and other waters, Zhao Wuxian climbs the mountain and overlooks, only to see that the waves here are magnificent, swallowing the universe, no less than the southern Yunmeng, the five lakes.
He couldn't help but praise: "The vast soup is endless; Sunrise and sunset, the weather is myriad! "It's really worthy of the water pump in North China, with this big lake, I'm not afraid that the surrounding agriculture can't be done.
At this time, a retainer patted Zhao Wuxian's fart, saying that Shangqing was thrifty in Yecheng before, and did not build a high-rise building, and now the country has been destroyed, the Qi country has been served, Yan and Zhongshan are not obedient, in order to show the prestige of Shangqing, it is better to build a palace on the bank of the beautiful giant deer Ze?
The so-called Daze is not a simple big lake, in addition to the lake, there are also many wetlands, this kind of terrain is suitable for the princes and doctors to hunt and recreation. The retainer was well prepared, and even helped Zhao Wuxian take a good look at the place where he left the palace.
He pointed to a place under the mountain and said: "The scenery is beautiful, surrounded by hills, the feng shui is excellent, and the essence of the giant deer." And it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is better to launch the river Rongdi, build a large number of buildings, build a pond, as the palace of Shangqing. ”
Although Zhao Wuxian didn't like extravagance, but seeing that the place under the mountain was surrounded by streams and maple trees, it would definitely be more beautiful in autumn, and if he could simply build a few courtyards, and bring his wife and concubine and sister to his children to play here in his spare time, wouldn't it be beautiful, so he asked casually: "What is the name of this place?" ”
"Named Dune ......"
Hearing these two words in his ears, it was like a thunderbolt, which made Zhao Wuxian, who was a little slack because of the continuous victory, suddenly deafened and suddenly woke up.
"Dune!"
This place is poisonous, especially for the emperor surnamed Ying, it is even more poisonous!
Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, annexed Lou Fu Lin Hu, pushed the Zhao people's sphere of influence to the Hetao Plain in one go, and destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom, pushing the Zhao State to be strong, but in the end, because he was too arrogant and proud, the internal affairs and the throne were a mess, and he was starved to death in the sand dune palace, and the hegemony became empty, and the evil scorn of "Ling" was installed......
Later, Qin Shi Huang, Zhen Chang Zhi and Yu Yu, swallowed two weeks and died the princes, performed the supreme and made Liuhe, insisted on beating and whipping the world, and vibrated the four seas, how indispensable. Yan Zhaozhi's collection, Han Wei's management, Qi Chu's elite, several generations, plagiarized his people, leaning on a mountain, all of them were occupied by the Qin Emperor, his **** heart, increasingly arrogant, the result? The change of the sand dunes, after the first emperor became a corpse, he could not stop the conspiracy of the eunuchs and courtiers......
So for the place of the sand dunes, Zhao Wuxian avoided it, and turned around and left after snorting angrily.
"Shangqing, Shangqing, if you don't like it, there are other places to choose from......" The sycophant's retainer chased after him, but was escorted by Zhao Wuxian, and shouted angrily:
"My father Zhao Wuzi once sank his retainer Luan Di into the big river, saying: I used to love music and women, Luan Yi found it for me, I used to love the palace and the pavilion, Luan Yi built it for me, I used to love good horses and good drivers, Luan Yi quickly found it. I've been a fan of Magi for six years now, but Luan has never recommended anyone. He's fueling my mistakes and destroying my strengths! ”
"My father's teachings, I dare not forget it for a day, in the future, anyone who is like Luan, who is like Luan, who is talking about building a large number of buildings, building pavilions and leaving the palace, will be deprived of the status of the bureaucrats and retainers, and handed over to Dali for bribery!"
The retainer was taken down, and Zhao Wuxian took one last look in the direction of the sand dune, and although the spring breeze was soft, cold sweat broke out on his head.
He found himself slacking off and satisfied.
Does his career surpass King Zhao Wuling? Not necessarily, can you reach the level of Qin Shi Huang in this life? Not necessarily.
He doesn't even have the right to repeat theirs!
"A gentleman is safe and does not forget the danger, survives without forgetting the death, and governs without forgetting the chaos, so that the country can be protected by the safety of the body...... Pro-virtuous ministers and far villains, cautious, cautious! ”
After admonishing himself, Zhao Wuxian prepared to leave Julu and return to Yecheng from Handan, but just as he was about to set off, he received another piece of news.
Han and Jung Guo clashed...... (To be continued.) )
