Chapter 29: Thirty-six Strategies to Close the Door and Catch the Thief (3)

Street fighting is not only an exclusive form of warfare, but also a cold weapon. At the same time, no matter what time and place, as long as there is a street fight, the side with a large number of people will suffer heavy casualties, while the side with a smaller number of people will often take advantage of the small number of people. Street fighting is an excellent battlefield for winning more with less, and it is also the dream of those who are widowed with more.

The square-like layout of Jucheng is suitable for army dispatch, and it is also suitable for the development of street battles. Zhao Jie and his entourage have a certain advantage in the street battle because of the small number of people and the small target, and Guan Zhi let the officers and soldiers search the houses, on the surface it is a good plan to force out Zhao Jie, in fact, since ancient times, the soldiers and bandits have been a family, and let the soldiers search the people's homes will inevitably have soldiers take the opportunity to rob the people's property, and the people dare to be angry but dare not speak, and in terms of arresting Zhao Jie, it has naturally become an outlet for them to retaliate against the government, they will not help the government arrest Zhao Jie, and will even secretly help Zhao Jie avoid danger.

When all the officers and soldiers left the inn, Zhao Jie walked away from the dark window underground, and then everyone gathered around and asked Zhao Jie what was going on outside. Zhao Jie told everyone what he saw, he thought he would see everyone's cursed looks, but everyone showed a calm expression.

"Since Guan Zhi's kid wants to fight, then we will fight with him, and my surname Zhao has a reputation because of the battle, glory because of the battle, and a country because of the battle. I, the Zhao clan, have never been afraid of anyone in battle. The commander of the internal guard said with an impassioned expression.

The ancestor of the Zhao family was the good emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and legend has it that he got 8 horses in the Taolin area, and presented them to King Mu of Zhou after training. King Mu of Zhou is equipped with a good carriage, let the father drive for him, often go out hunting, play, once traveled west to Kunlun Mountain, saw the queen of the tribe in Kunlun Mountain, King Mu of Zhou and the queen talked very happily, happy and forgot to return, and at this time heard the news of the rebellion of King Xu Yan of Xu State, King Mu of Zhou was very anxious, at this critical moment, the father drove thousands of miles, so that King Mu of Zhou quickly returned to Beijing, and sent troops in time to defeat King Xu Yan and quell the rebellion. Due to the great contribution of the father, King Mu of Zhou gave Zhao Cheng to him, and since then the name of the Zhao family has been displayed among the princes.

In the year of the Western Weekend, the king of Zhou was mediocre, and the ancestor of the Zhao family took away from Zhou Shijin, the twelfth grandson of the father, and Zhao Shu, the second son of Zhao Gongming, was ordered by Jin Xiangong to lead the army to defeat Huo, Wei and Geng, and establish military exploits. Because of his military merits, he was awarded the title of Geng by Jin Xiangong. After this war, the Zhao clan once again became famous in the world and gained a firm foothold in the Jin Kingdom. Subsequently, in the second year of Duke Wen of Jin, King Xiang of Zhou was in retreat due to the unrest in the royal family, and Duke Mu of Qin had sent troops to garrison on the edge of the Yellow River, preparing to protect King Xiang's return. Zhao Yu suggested that Duke Wen of Jin should take the lead in escorting King Xiang. Because respecting the king is the capital of hegemony, the first condition for establishing a hegemony is to respect the king as the banner. If this move falls behind the Qin State, it will be difficult to command the world if it wants to dominate. Jin Wengong adopted this suggestion, laying the foundation for the supremacy that would soon be gained. Then in the first year of the Ling Dynasty (621 BC), Jin Jun was still moving, and Zhao Dun represented Jin Jun and Qi, Song, Wei, Zheng, Cao, and Xu Jun in the alliance, which was the beginning of the main alliance of doctors. In the second year of Linggong, the princes and doctors allied with Hengyong. In the sixth year of Linggong, Qin attacked Jin with the battle of Linghu (now Linyixi, Shanxi), and Zhao Dun commanded the Chinese army. In the eighth year of Linggong, Zhao Dun took 800 of the princes by Najie. In the thirteenth year of Linggong, King Chuzhuang and Zheng invaded Chen and then invaded Song, and Zhao Dun led an army to rescue Chen and Song, and met in Feilin. For more than ten years, he fought in the main alliance and made outstanding achievements. In the end, Zhao Wu took charge of the state and advocated harmony with the princes, and finally promoted the alliance between Jin and Chu. In order to continue the glory of the Zhao family, generation after generation of Zhao people have written a history of blood and tears of fighting with the sky, the earth, the country, and the people.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhibo coerced Han and Wei to send troops to attack Zhao. Zhao Xiangzi, the head of the Zhao family, had no other way but to fight hard. With the power of the Zhao family to confront the three families, the disparity between the outnumbered, the single tree is difficult to support, the son then according to his father's dying will, retreat to Jinyang, with the danger of geographical advantages, overcome the enemy's fatigue, and fight again. After Zhibo led the troops of the three families to trap Jinyang, Xiangzi relied on the advantages of land danger and people to deal with the enemy for more than a year. In the summer of this year, Zhibo took advantage of the flash flood to dig the dam of the Fen River in Jinshui, and the water irrigated Jinyang, and the soldiers and civilians in the city "hung the kettle and cooked, and the son was eaten", although Jinyang "the people had no rebellion", but the ministers had a wavering heart. At this critical moment, Xiangzi estimated that Jinyang City was more in danger, and the Han and Wei families would be more and more warless, so he ordered his retainer Zhang Mengtan to sneak into the Han and Wei camps while the night was dark and windy. In the end, Zhibo's success fell short. As a result, the dispute between the four secretaries of the Jin State became the momentum of the three secretaries, and the Zhao family, under the leadership of Zhao Xiangzi, turned the tide, eliminated the Zhibo who wanted to destroy himself, strengthened his own power, and laid the foundation for the later division of the three Jins.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the Zhao clan is indeed as the commander of the internal defense said that it is named after war, glory because of war, and prosperity by war, so that today's situation can be determined.

After listening to the words of the commander of the internal guard, thinking back to the difficulties of the ancestors of the Zhao family, perhaps because of the blood of the Zhao family, he couldn't help but get excited.

Zhao Jie understands that as a commander, the most taboo thing is blood, which often impulses people's minds and makes people make wrong judgments, and this wrong judgment will lead to the sacrifice of many people and need many people's lives to make up for it.

In the life that Zhao Jie did not cross, a general named Li Xin of the Qin State recklessly advanced because of his blood, resulting in the death of 200,000 Qin troops in the enemy country and the refusal to return home. The story goes like this:

King Qin ordered Wang Jian to command Yan, Li Xin led the lead to send troops to the Yishui River first, and the light cavalry broke through to defeat the Yan prince Dan, forcing Dan to flee into Jicheng to hold on, and soon Wang Jian led the army to arrive and conquer Yandu Ji, Yan Wang and Prince Dan retired to Liaodong, and Qin general Li Xin pursued closely. Dai Wangjia sent a letter to Yan Wangxi, saying: "The reason why the Qin army is chasing so closely is because they want to get the prince Dan. If the king can kill the crown prince Dan and dedicate it to the king of Qin, the Yan Kingdom will be able to keep it. "Prince Dan fled to Yanshui, King Yan sent someone to behead Prince Dan and present it to Qin, Li Xin and Wang Ben did not stop attacking. In the twenty-fifth year (222 BC), Li Xin followed the Qin general Wang Ben to capture Liaodong, captured Yan Wang Xi, and the Yan State was destroyed. Li Xin received the credit.

The state of Qin swept through the six countries, destroying the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, breaking the Chu army, and the king of Yan fled and was destroyed. Qin Shi Huang wanted to destroy Chu and fell in love with the young and brave Qin general Li Xin, thinking that he was virtuous and courageous. Li Xin once led thousands of troops to pursue Yan Prince Dan to Yanshui, and finally broke the Yan army and captured Prince Dan. Qin Shi Huang once asked Li Xin how many people he needed to break Chu? Li is confident, and his chest is full of killing blood, which means 200,000 is enough. Qin Shi Huang asked Wang Jian again, and Wang Jian said: "It must be 600,000." The first emperor said: "General Wang is old, why is he cowardly! General Lee is brave and courageous, and his words are true. So he sent Li Xin and Meng Tian to send 200,000 troops to the south to attack Chu. Because King Qin didn't need to speak, Wang Jian resigned from his official position due to illness and returned to Pinyang for retirement. At this time, the Qin army under the leadership of Li Xin attacked Pingyu, Meng Tian attacked Mengqiu, and broke the Chu army. Li Xin took advantage of the victory to attack Yan and Ying, and both broke them. So he led the troops to the west to meet the city father with the Meng Tian army. The Chu army led by Xiang Yan took the opportunity to accumulate strength, followed the Qin army for three days and three nights, and finally broke Li Xin's army, captured two camps, killed seven captains, and the Qin soldiers were defeated and fled.

Zhao Jie was deeply warned when he saw this story when he was a child in his previous life, so this story has always been engraved in his mind.

Zhao Jie paced and calmed down. Then he raised his head and said to everyone: "Life is the most important thing for a person to do, because it should be in your own hands, this small battle may have a life risk, I can't make a decision for you, you need to make your own decision." Zhao Jie pinched and pointed to a few potted plants on the dark window and said to everyone: "When I finish speaking, you will go to those potted plants one by one to put two trees, one long, one short, the long one agrees to fight, and the short one represents different battles." Then place the two sticks on each hand, with the stick in your right hand representing your decision. In the end, the minority obeys the majority. ”

After saying that, everyone folded the branches one by one, and after a while, everyone had chosen. Zhao Jie began to count the votes: "One agrees, two agrees, and three agrees...... Ten agreed, eleven agreed, twelve agreed. "Unanimously passed.

"Your Highness, give the order quickly!" The head of the internal guard said impatiently.

"Now that everyone agrees to fight, I'm going to assign the mission." Zhao Jie paved the whole map of Jucheng and said: "This is the whole map of Jucheng, when you go to war tomorrow, I will give each of you a copy, please see, the roads in Jucheng extend in all directions, there are no dead ends at all, which will give us the advantage of transfer and escape, our way of playing in this battle is: bury and defeat, surround and annihilate." ”

"Xu Yang listened to the order, I will ambush you tomorrow with the internal guards and guards on the only way to the law field, it is clear that there will be many soldiers lying on the law field, and there will be fewer escorts, and your task is to rescue the people who were captured in the inn within a quarter of an hour. After rescuing the person, you will hand them over to Xu Yang, who will take them back to the liaison office. ”

"No." Xu Yang replied with the internal guards and guards.

"Gao Le listens to the order, I order you to make trouble with the two slaves in the court tomorrow, the longer the trouble, the better, and it is best to let the county order postpone the execution."

"No." Gao Ledao,

"Xingyi listens to the order, I order you to go to the pharmacy with your sister tomorrow to buy a large amount of Jinchuang medicine, just in case there is still no medicine to cure it, innocent."

"No." Xingyi Road.

"Guards, internal guards listen to orders, and when you hand over the boss to Xu Yang, they will immediately scatter in pairs, waiting for the opportunity to kill the soldiers."
