Chapter 282: The Battle of Diqiu
As early as a few days ago, after the Battle of Zhen, about hundreds of Qi people fled in the direction of Qingshan in the east, and Zhao Wuxian sent people to follow him, followed the rout and rushed up the mountain, and took down this unruly hundred small towns in one fell swoop. And sent Wu Jing to garrison with a group of soldiers, as the easternmost point of the territory, overlooking the flat city of Xiaqiu.
After Zhao Ying's decision to attack Xiaqiu to the east, the first to dispatch was more than 100 cavalry under the leadership of Wu Shu's single cavalry, and they were in a team of five to spread the sentry posts all over the traffic arteries around Liaoqiu for dozens of miles, beware of the Qi army coming west to help.
The Wuya Brigade of Doctor Liqiu has been probed once by the light knights who come and go like the wind, and he steals chickens and rice, and is defeated under Zhenyi, and only a few hundred of the 1,500 people he brought with him escaped. Now that he had lost his courage, he only thought that the Jin army was as strong as Zhen Di encountered, and he had no confidence to defend this town at all, so the anxious Jian Mu flew like snowflakes to the Qi army camp forty miles to the east.
However, after learning that the Wei State asked for peace and the Jin State Three Route Army advanced eastward, the first reaction of the commanders of the Qi State, Guo Xia and Gao Zhang, was not to support Liqiu and fight with the Jin State here, but to quickly withdraw the troops. Because the Qi people only dispatched more than 10,000 people this time, it was naturally very easy to beat the soldiers of Lu and the west, but now they are facing the pressure of the Jin and Lu armies.
As a result, Xiaqiu became an abandoned and lonely city.
Since the other party avoided it, more than 10,000 troops of the Jin State passed through the narrow Qingshan Pass unimpeded, and then quickly surrounded the Xiaqiu, and the Lu State also sent reinforcements. Ten rules surrounded it, so the hill was surrounded by water, leaving only a corner of the north gate to vent its military heart.
A day later, looking at the siege equipment that was slowly arriving, the Wuya Brigade wanted to cry without tears, because it was exactly what the Lu State used to attack the city a few months ago, and he captured it and took it to Zhenyi, and abandoned it there when the Qi army collapsed. These big guys have changed hands three times in two months, and now they are going to come in handy under the walls of Xiaqiu City again.
Under the onslaught of more than 10,000 people. This battle was fought neatly, the hill was broken outside the country one day, and the city fell within two days, and the Xuanniao flag fluttered high at the head of the city. Announce that the place has changed owners.
Wu Xian took some of the military officers and commanders to watch the whole battle, just the march and camp of more than 10,000 troops is a university worth careful study, and the spectacular siege battle also benefited them a lot. However, because of the strength of the friendly forces, they basically have no chance to make a move. was only responsible for blocking and escaping in a corner of the wall, but none of the Qi people escaped, and they were all wrapped.
After the battle, Zhao Ying held his sword, held his head high, and rode into the city in the attitude of a conqueror, while Zhao Wuxian, Post Wuzheng and others served on the side, and the surrender ceremony was held in the ruined walls of the inner city.
The remnants of the defeated army and the local Qi people were forced to go out to greet them by the Jin soldiers, and many of them were slightly injured, and their faces were gray one by one. Only eyes were left with fear and apprehension.
There was a precedent for everyone to worry about whether the victors would wantonly vent on them in the Yi after that, and after the Battle of Qi that year, the Jin State even proposed a harsh treaty for the Qi State to change the fields facing north and south to the east and west, so that the Jin chariots could enter. During the Battle of Pingyin, the Jin army also surrounded Linzi, burned its four gates, and robbed the surrounding Dayi, east to Weishui, south and Yishui. After that, a whole generation of people talked about the change of color.
The Wuya Brigade of the Doctor of Xiaqiu took off his armor, and the meat tan led the sheep to surrender, and saw a tall secretary with a black armor walking towards him from a distance. Next to him were the heroic young man in deep clothes and the armored tiger ben, especially the young man, who looked very familiar.
He didn't have time to think about it, he took two steps forward and knelt down, and bowed his head and said:
"The foreign minister Asia Brigade cannot accept the will of heaven and vainly try to get involved in Zhenyi, which has already belonged to the kingdom. So that the military in the kingdom came to Yiyi with anger, my sin is also, dare not listen to orders? If the Chinese army wants to capture the foreign ministers to Jinyang and banish them to Dayuan to shepherd sheep, they will also listen to their orders; It is necessary to deprive the Qiu, let the countrymen be the concubines of the subordinates, and take them back to Xinjiang City with ropes, and also listen to the orders of the Chinese army. If the Chinese army takes care of the good of his grandfather and Zhao Wenzi, he can let the foreign minister redeem himself and return to the country with money, silk and gold, and the favor of the king is also the wish of the foreign minister. Dare not hope, dare to spread the heart, Jun Shi plan. β
These words are imitations of the statement made by Zheng Xianggong when he descended to the king of Chuzhuang, but it is also true that the grandfather of the Wuya Brigade who had Benjin did have some friendship with Zhao Wenzi.
It was forty years ago in the era of Jin Pinggong, the grandfather of Wuya Brigade, Wu Yu, a villager of Qi State, fled to Jin State with Liqiuyi. He immediately exerted the strong combat effectiveness of the Liqiu Yi soldiers, first captured the sheep's horns of the Wei Kingdom, and then attacked the Gaoyu of the Lu State, and then invaded the Song State in the south, stirring up the chickens and dogs in the Pushui area.
At that time, Fan Xuanzi was dead, Zhao Wenzi was in power, and in the face of the Liqiu Wu clan, which was hated by the princes, most of the Jin Qing advocated crusade against it. However, Zhao Wenzi sent an envoy to Xiaqiu without a single pawn, and used a plan to disintegrate the Xiaqiu Yi pawn and return the princes' cities, and the princes were at peace with Jin. Wu Yu was surrounded by Zhao Wenzi, so that he could return to Qi again, so speaking of which, the Wu family still owes the Zhao family a favor.
Because of the sadness in his words, Doctor Dou Li couldn't bear to hear it, and began to intercede for Wuya Brigade. Zhao Wuxian was just thinking about the stakes, if the Qi people attacked Zhen Yi half a decade ago, he would just end up like this, and it would be even worse, winning the king and defeating the king, which is justified.
However, although the ancient military etiquette has gradually disappeared when killing each other in battle, the Zhuxia nobles still have to be polite and courteous after the battle, and they cannot be humiliated too much. After all, no one knows whether they or their relatives will be captured in the next war, and if they treat people harshly today, they will probably return one by one tomorrow.
The barrage is only aimed at the common people, but for the nobles can be more particular, generally can not be wantonly killed, and the aristocratic war in the Western Middle Ages, the exchange of hostages for redemption is also a huge financial input of the Spring and Autumn Qing doctors.
In addition, after all, the Wu clan has been rooted here for decades, and many people, clans, and even Wu clan branches. Zhao Wuxian's kindness to this fallen doctor of Liqiu can also play a role in cleaning up the hearts of the people, compared with Zhen Yi, it is a little more difficult to govern Diqiu City, which is originally a fortress of the enemy country.
Zhao Ying also thought so, he put on a smiling face, helped Wu Ya Brigade to get up, comforted him and put him under house arrest, waiting for Wu Shi's ransom.
When Wuya Brigade wiped his tears and was taken away, he also looked at Zhao Wuxian steadily.
Zhao Wuxian also bowed his hand slightly and said, "Does the doctor still know me?" β
Thinking of the neat phalanx that had been pressed over like a dense forest that day, Wuyalu's scalp was numb for a while, he swallowed his saliva, respectfully bowed and said with a smile: "The gentleman's uniform has changed, but the momentum is as prosperous as it was that day." After returning home, if the Asian Brigade can be forgiven by the widow, there is no need to kill in the court, and there may be a chance to meet the gentleman again in battle. The Asian Brigade should avoid the wind, retreat, and dare not be the enemy of the gentleman! β
Regarding the promise of the Wuya Brigade, Zhao Wuxian didn't take it to heart. After the city was broken, at the suggestion of him and Dou Li. Zhao Ying stopped the habitual plundering of Zhao soldiers, handed over the treasury and people of this town to Wuxian intact, and after a day of rest, he pulled out the camp and marched eastward, going to Gaoyu and Yuncheng to join the Lu division.
Because his identity was still expelled from the country, and the crime was not cleared, it was not convenient for Zhao Wuxian to participate in the alliance and meet the two secretaries of the Zhi and the Bank of China, so he stayed in Xiaqiu.
He is now sitting in the Liqiuyi Temple, holding the Zhenyi Tiger Talisman in his left hand and the Liqiu Fish Talisman in his right hand. Just pinched the two thousand-room towns in the palm of his hand.
This is the texture of power, it is sharp and angular, above a radius of 100 miles, close to the lives of 30,000 people!
Like Zhenyi, Liaoqiu is located in the Pubei Plain, the terrain is slightly elevated, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also fertile for dozens of miles. This is also the strategic frontier of Qi entering the western part of Lu State, the population is more than Zhenyi, and the armor and grain in the treasury are better.
Zhao Wuxian heard Zigong say. More than ten years ago, because of the Lu Zhaogong incident, Confucius also entered Qi as the head of Gao Zhaozi's family, and was summoned by the Marquis of Qi to ask about politics. Confucius replied, "Monarchs, ministers." Father, son" "government is saving money". Qi Jing Gongyue, although he didn't use his strategy, but loved his talent, once wanted to change the territory of the Wu clan and give it to Confucius as his place of support, but Confucius refused with "a gentleman should be meritorious to receive Lu".
Wuxian muttered to himself, "Now this sturdy thousand-room town. But it's going to cheapen me......"
Since Zhao Ying agreed to Wuxian's idea of temporarily taking root in Pubei, of course he would fully support it, and he added twenty-five horsemen and nearly 100 Dayuan good horses with a height of five feet (weeks rather than feet) to Wuxian, increasing the number of light knights to fifty, and realizing one person and two horses.
In addition, there is also a pawn Zhao Bing led by the retainer Tiger Society, the pawn Tiger Club is not as tall as the name, he is six and a half feet tall, playful speech, and likes to hold on to the wall to lead the Zhao soldiers to sing generously, or a passionate song "Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business", or Xinjiang's Tang Feng folk songs.
Zhao Wuxian was quite interested in this novice subordinate, and he had heard about the deeds of the Tiger Society. Once Zhao Ying's trip, the car crawled a narrow and long slope, and the retainers saw that the opportunity to perform had arrived, so they stepped forward one after another, and Bantan put on the main cart. Zhao Ying sat in the car and roamed beautifully, feeling naturally good, but he immediately saw that only the guy Tiger Club had not joined the team of the cart, and he was still carrying a halberd, singing as he walked, as if nothing had happened.
At that time, Zhao Ying said angrily: "The widow went uphill, and the ministers all actively pushed the cart, only you tiger will act as if you didn't see it, and you still sang a song!" This is a human minister bullying the lord, as a human minister and bullying his master, what crime should he be guilty of?! β
Hu Hui smiled: "Bullying his master as a minister is a capital crime plus a capital crime. β
Zhao Yingqi said: "What is 'capital crime plus capital crime'? β
"Not only is it a capital offense, but his wife is also a capital offense, so it is said to be a capital offense plus a capital offenseβbut does the lord know what happens to his courtiers who bully him as a human king?" β
"What will happen?"
The Tiger Club changed its playfulness and jokes, and said solemnly: "If you are a ruler and bully your own courtiers, the wise will not plan for them, the debaters will not make envoys for them, and the brave will not fight for them." If the wise man does not plan, the society will be in danger; If the debater is not an envoy, the envoy will not be able to communicate; If the brave do not fight, the borders will be violated. The matter of pushing the cart can be handed over to the ordinary people of the erection temple, how can a soldier lower his status to do these gangsters? Isn't this a bully to a courtier or what? β
Zhao Ying knew that his mistakes could be corrected, so he immediately asked the ministers to stop pushing carts for themselves, set up wine to drink with the ministers, and regarded the Tiger Club as his own guests, and began to entrust him with important tasks. This time he was left to Zhao Wuxian, and it was also out of this consideration that this person could both fight and admonish, and he was a rare talent.
The Tiger Club also has some skills, he is good at using a halberd, and he throws all the hits within thirty steps, which makes Zhao Wuxian's heart move, and he has the intention of setting up a new class. (To be continued.) )
