Chapter 1013: Into Qin
readx;?♂,
As early as a month ago, Hexi was penetrated by Zhao's two cavalry, and only a few Qin troops were left to retreat into the city, not daring to go out. After the decisive battle of Fenglingdu, the pen and the fun www.biquge.info, taking advantage of the emptiness of the army in Hexi, the post city acted as the vanguard of the Zhao clan and began to conquer the city. When Zhao Wuxian's army entered the west of the river, it was like a bamboo, and the Zhao army moved very quickly, crossing the river on May 10, and taking all the west of the river on May 20, crossing the Xiluo water.
Strictly speaking, Hexi has always been the territory of the Jin State, so it was not until Zhao Wuxian arrived on the west bank of Luoshui along the pontoon bridge that he officially entered Qin.
The total number of troops recruited by the Qin State did not exceed 100,000, of which 40,000 were lost in Hedong, most of them were captured, more than 10,000 were lost in Hexi and Hangu Pass, and only a few thousand fled back to Weinan. The country of Qin is empty, although there are still some defenders on the Yongcheng side, and a group of people can be forcibly requisitioned, but their speed is not as fast as Zhao's army, and the area east of Jingshui and west of Luoshui is almost not fortified.
The next day, Zhao Wuxian successfully arrived at the ruins of Chongguo, he climbed the remaining rammed earth wall, and looked around, full of flat plains and farmland, dotted with a little forest greenery, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan were displayed in front of Zhao Wuxian at a glance.
He couldn't help but silently recite a passage in Zhang Liang's evaluation of Guanzhong in the historical records of his previous life: "Fuguan is the left Kuihan, the right Longshu, and the fertile field is thousands of miles...... This so-called golden city is thousands of miles, the country of abundance, the spine of the world, and the dragon head of the Central Plains is also ......"
However, the current Qin State has neither the Bashu Hanzhong nor the solidity of the Kui Han, but has been beaten into the country by the Zhao family. And the Guanzhong Basin in the late Spring and Autumn Period, is far from the Qin and Han dynasties of the "Golden City of Thousands of Miles, the Land of Abundance", although the "Yu Gong" praised "the domain of Yongzhou, the field is only on the top", and the Zhou Dynasty has also been vigorously developed, but after the difficulty of Lishan, this area has long been reduced to the hunting ground of Rong Di, and the farmland is abandoned, so there is not a lot of cooked land.
For example, in this area between Jingshui and Luoshui, the Han Dynasty belonged to Zuo Fengyi, one of the three auxiliaries, that is, Tongchuan City in later generations. At this time, there were many dense forests and land of zelu, and it was only after the Zhengguo Canal and the White Canal were dug one after another that it could become the fertile field with the highest grain yield in China and become the center of Chinese civilization.
It was also in Chongdi that Zhao Wuxian hung King Wen of Zhou, and at the same time announced to the three armies: "When King Wen of Zhou invaded Chongdi, he said, 'Chonghou Hu insulted his father and brother, disrespected the elders, did not listen to prison, distributed wealth unevenly, treated the people harshly, and the rest of the levy was just for the people of Chongdi'. Today, the Qin State colluded with the traitor Wei of the Jin State, sent troops to attack the Jin, plundered our Hedong, shocked our people, destroyed our fields, and committed a great crime against the Jin. Now that the rebellion has been extinguished, the Qin soldiers in the east of the river have also surrendered sparsely to serve their sentences, and the marshal led his army to attack Qin, just to punish the Qin monarchs and ministers for their reckless military force, and did not involve the Qin land chiefs, clans, and people. Officers and soldiers in the army do not kill the people, do not destroy the room, do not fill the well, do not cut down trees, do not move the six animals, and those who are not as good as the order will die without forgiveness......"
After solemnly announcing the military discipline and the purpose of this battle, Zhao Wuxian did not pay attention to the requests sent by the chief of the Qin State repeatedly, but continued to let the three thousand cavalry of Youcheng and Yu Xi each invade the west, and divided into two roads to attack Jingyang and Masui, striving to take all the east of Jingshui before June, and he himself took the Yulin Army and the baggage troops and walked towards Liyang......
……
Oak Yi is located in the Yang of Weishui, so it is called Oak Yang, later Qin Xiangong established the capital here, plus Zheng Guoqu, Baiqu all pass through here, so that this place is very rich.
However, the current Liyang is far from the prosperity of later generations, just an inconspicuous small town, the oak trees outside the city are forested, the loess is rammed into a low wall, the circumference of the city is not more than a mile, and you can't see the situation inside when you stand on tiptoe, most of them only have some low houses, this is the appearance of most Qin cities. This place has been controlled by the Zhao Clan's forwards, and according to Zhao Wuxian's orders, there was no slaughter, and when the shirtless car arrived, a large group of people had already knelt outside the city to greet them.
Most of these people were local elders, hao elders, and clan chiefs, and the social structure of the Qin State was similar to that of the Jin State, but the difference was that the political situation was stable and the mobility between classes tended to solidify. In the court, the Qing clan and the doctor are weak and cannot threaten the monarchy and the chief of the clan, so they do not have a high right to speak, but in the countryside, they still have a certain amount of power.
Liyang is also composed of several small and medium-sized clans, although they are small nobles, but on the occasion of today's surrender, they did not dare to travel in brocade clothes, and they changed into gray clothes, carrying cow wine and kneeling side by side.
Seeing Zhao Wuxian's carriage supporting the canopy driving to him, a middle-aged nobleman with a high crown and a broad belt looked at them lightly from the car, and everyone knew that the lord was coming, so they bowed their heads one after another, pointed their mouths and noses to the ground, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the secretary of the Jin Kingdom!" ”
Interestingly, in a bunch of Qin dialects with a strong accent, there is a sound of Hedong dialect of the Jin Kingdom......
Zhao Wuxian looked behind the old and middle-aged people in the front row, and identified that the person who spoke was a young man with clear eyebrows.
He waved his hand and told the boy to come over.
Hunched over, the young man cautiously paced in front of Zhao Wuxian's car, glanced up, immediately looked away, and bowed again: "Boy Liu De, see Shangqing." After saying that, he pressed his forehead tightly to the ground and waited for Zhao Wuxian to fall.
The voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating, and Zhao Wuxian knew that he had heard it correctly, and what the young man said was indeed standard Jin Guo dialect. And this son performed well, Zhao Wuxian was behind the menacing army, but he did not have stage fright, but completed the etiquette meticulously, kneeling on the ground and not moving, like a sculpture.
"Liu, could it be after Fan Wuzi?"
"Exactly." Liu De said: "My family is the heir left by Fan Wuzi when he entered Qin, and several generations have lived in Liyang, and the boy is coming to greet Shangqing with his ancestor and father today. ”
"I see."
Zhao Wuxian is a little funny, there is another reason for this, speaking of the process of Fan Wuzishi going to Qin, it is inseparable from his ancestor Zhao Dun.
When the Duke of Jin Xianggong died, the secretaries of the Jin State argued endlessly about which prince to appoint as the king, and Zhao Dun originally supported the prince Yong, who was a doctor in the Qin State, so he sent a priest to Qin to greet him. Unexpectedly, after expelling the political rival Fox Shooting Gu, Zhao Dun felt that he was still a young lord and easy to control, so he changed his position to Jin Linggong and ambushed the Qin army who escorted Gongzi Yong to succeed him. In the battle of Linghu, the Qin army was defeated, and the taxi club that would have had the merit of Yingli was not a person inside and out, so in a fit of anger, he simply turned around and returned to Qin to be a doctor.
After Shihui entered Qin, he became a great enemy of the Jin State for a while, for example, he contributed to the Qin State in the Battle of Hequ and successfully defeated the Jin army. Zhao Dun was also distressed, so he promised to give him a position, and then he used a trick to welcome back to the Shihui.
The scholars stayed in the Qin State for many years, and also left some heirs, and their descendants changed to the Liu family in order to distinguish them from the Fan and Shi families of the Jin State, and it has been more than 100 years......
If the history is extended further, after another two hundred years, the Liu family of the Qin State began to migrate eastward again, and Liu Qing, the tenth generation descendant of the Shihui, served in the Wei State, and moved to the area of Feng County and Pei County after the Wei was destroyed, and later this family produced a prodigal son named Liu Bang......
Don't mention it later, Zhao Wuxian asked Liu De to stand up and speak, but he saw that this son was well-defined, slender, and had a good temperament, giving people a good first impression.
So he asked kindly: "Liu De, you are from Qin, why do you say Jin Yan?" ”“
Liu De is actually quite nervous, calm on the surface, but his palms are full of sweat, and behind him are the eyes of his grandfather, father, uncle and brothers, and the survival of the family may be tied to his next sentence.
"The kid is not from Qin." He flatly denied his national identity.
"My grandfather and father said that although we were in the Qin Kingdom, our roots were from the Jin Kingdom, so I urinated and let the dead man from the Jin Kingdom teach the boy to speak Xinjiang dialect to show that he will never forget his ......homeland."
Zhao Wuxian was full of praise, but he didn't think so in his heart. Missing your homeland? Don't say it's funny, not to mention that those sons of the Shihui have never returned to the Jin Kingdom in their lives, strictly speaking, the Liu family is still the remnant of the Fan family!
However, the patriarchal era was coming to an end, and the fifth generation of the gentleman was beheaded, and Hugh said that the blood relationship between the Liu family and the Fan family had faded as water. Even in the Jin Kingdom itself, there are a large number of descendants of the Fan family and the Shi family who are working hard for the Zhao family, and Zhao Wuxian will not be so narrow-minded as to beat a certain surname to death.
In the final analysis, the Liu family is a little clever, since Hexi was recaptured by the Jin State three years ago, they thought that the Qin State would be defeated, and they continued to talk to the Jin State through Shangjia, and asked someone to teach Liu De to speak the Jin State dialect from that time. At first, he contacted the Wei family, and after the Wei family was finished, the Zhao army entered Qin, and the Liu family was busy leading the way and surrendering Zhao with Liyang.
Let this son talk about these things today, but also to show loyalty, not only this son has courage, but his grandfather and father are also old fritters.
Even though he saw through it, Zhao Wuxian did not say this, encouraged Liu De, and rewarded him with a sword, before officially receiving the local clan led by the Liu family, with kind words to comfort him, and promised that the army would not enter the city.
"The war won't last long." At the humble feast, he said to these little nobles of the Qin State who were in awe and awe of him.
"Qin Jun and the chief of the Great Princesses have sued for peace for the third time, and I am also ready to agree, before the two countries re-conclude peace, the stability between Liyang and Jingluo will rely on the strength of the second and third sons......"
This time in Qin, Zhao Wuxian did not plan to return empty-handed, he wanted to bite off a piece of Qin's flesh, so that Qin's door would be wide open from now on, and he would no longer pose a threat to him.
It is easy to conquer a city, but it is difficult to incorporate effective rule.
Looking at Liu De, who was smiling humbly, and his grandfather, father and brother, Zhao Wuxian was thoughtful.
He knew that in order to establish rule far from the Jin mainland, it would not work by relying only on the reckless men in the army and foreign officials who did not understand the local dialect, and he had to rely on the help of local clans and lords.
A local snake like Liu, who has no sense of belonging to the Qin State and is attached to whoever is strong, is the most ideal object of support for Zhao Wuxian!
Wu Xian decided that when his two cavalry forwards actually controlled the entire area east of Jingshui, the military operation would stop, and when the peace talks began, he would force the Qin State to conclude an alliance under the city that was dozens of times more shameful than the "Shame of Hexi"!
