Chapter 44: The Heroes of the World (4)
King Qin Huiwen attacked Korea in a big way. The Wei state forced the two countries to join the military alliance dominated by the Qin state, and together with the Yue state in the far southeast, a new military alliance full of desire to attack was established, and the world suddenly became tense.
Qin's eastward march will inevitably affect the strategic security of Chu, and as the longitudinal commander of the world's 'joint vertical', King Huai of Chu immediately issued a national conscription request upon hearing the news, reorganized his armament, and waited for an opportunity to attack Qin's eastward army.
Han. The two countries of Wei joined the 'Lianheng' and waited for an opportunity to advance eastward, vainly trying to encroach on the benefits of the fish and salt of the Qi State, which made the King of Qi Min, who had just ascended the throne and was ready to make a big move, to be furious. The 'dragon shaking water ghost' of the Qi State marched westward along the Yellow River, and for a time the sails were lined up, covering the sky and the sun, and countless Qi warships were full of sails, singing and marching forward.
In the battle of Malingdao, 'Wei Wushu' had already suffered a big loss, coupled with the renegade of King Wei Xiang this time, these 'Wei Wushu' were war-weary, and they did not make a decent resistance.
King Xiang of Wei had no choice but to turn to the Qin State for help, and the Qin State then sent an army of 100,000 to support the Wei army, and the coalition army was no less than 200,000.
The forces of both sides were equal, and no one dared to rashly launch an attack, King Min of Qi sought the help of the state of Chu, and King Huai of Chu immediately led his army north to Luoyang and launched a fierce attack on the 'Lianheng' army.
Hundreds of thousands of Chu troops were like bamboos, and they captured Ruyang one after another. Yuncheng, Mengjin. Then the soldiers were divided into two routes, one route was led by the general Sima Zhaohua to cross the Yellow River to the north, pass through the pass, and capture Jiyuan, Yangcheng, Qinshui, Houma, Jiangxian, Quwo, and temporarily shocked the eastern part of the country.
One route was led by the general Zhaoyang to sweep through the Kwantung Corridor, the Wei Army and the Korean Army were all routed, and the Chu Army entered Sanmenxia, forcing Korea to defect and return to the 'Hezhong' camp.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Zhaoyang army marched westward to wipe out the 100,000 Qin troops under the command of Zhu Liji, who fled back to Tongguan with only a small number of followers, and quickly accepted the Qin army that fled from the direction of Anyi. The Zhaoyang army will 'connect horizontal' the army and cut it off at the waist, so that it cannot take care of the beginning and the end.
King Qin Huiwen saw that the defeat of Guandong had been decided, and he was unable to return to the sky, and when his life and death were at stake, he sent him to the state of Chu, pretending to offer Shang Shang to sue for peace in 600 miles of land.
At this time, the monarch of the Yue State led 200,000 Vietnamese troops out of Guangling and went north to Huai'an, Huainan and other places. King Huai of Chu was deeply afraid that the two-front battle would drag down the Chu State, so he took the lead in agreeing to the peace conditions of the Qin State and stopped the military attack on the Qin State.
Ordered Sima Zhaohua's 100,000 troops to cross the Yellow River to the south, withdraw to Luoyang Mengjin, and sit in Luoyang. Ordered the Zhaoyang army to sit in Nanyang. Prince Huai of Chu led an army of Wuwan to the east into the Huai River. 、
King Qin Huiwen did not fulfill his promise and gave up 600 miles of land, and the people of the world blamed me Zhang Yi for this matter, and I was helpless!
Qu Qi, the general of the Chu State, led 100,000 Chu troops and 100,000 Qin troops led by Wei Zhang met outside the Shaoxi Pass. Qu Qi immediately dispatched tens of thousands of Chu troops in Hanzhong to attack Shangnan, and the deputy general Hou Chou went up the Danjiang River, occupied Shangyi, came to the back of Shaoxi Pass, and attacked Wei Zhang before and after, Wei Zhang could not support it, and only led a small number of Qin troops to flee back to Luonan over the mountains and mountains, embarrassed!
"Beggar! Isn't that his own father? Hearing this, Qu Ling wanted to know what happened at that time, because her mother didn't know much about all this, so she didn't want to interrupt Zhang Yi's words, because this was what she was most concerned about, including her mother and her sister.
King Huiwen of Qin was unwilling to fail, so he ordered Gan Mao to lead 100,000 Qin troops, and secretly dispatched 50,000 fresh troops from Shu to attack Hanzhong of Chu.
Ling Sima Cuo led the garrison of Xianyang, and 100,000 Zhongwei troops rushed to Shangyu to resist Qu Qi's attack.
Ling Liji rushed to Luonan with the remnants of the gathered army through Tongguan, and resisted Qu Qi's attack with Sima Cuo and Wei Zhang.
At the same time, Kuang Zhang of Qi led 100,000 Qi troops to Shangnan to support Qu Qi and Hou Chou's Chu army. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of troops led by King Chu Huai himself, and the Yue Army were in Huainan. Fierce battles were fought on the Huai'an front, and the Vietnamese army suffered a crushing defeat.
The king of Yue fled back to Guangling without borders, and the army of Chu followed.
He rushed to Luonan and divided tens of thousands of troops to Wei Zhang, who personally led tens of thousands of Qin troops out of Luochuan and went around to Shangnan, trying to attack the Chu army in Shangnan with Gan Mao left and right. Hou Chou's hundreds of thousands of Chu troops deployed in Shangnan were wiped out.
Military struggles are often subordinated to political struggles, and the rupture of relations between Qi and Chu makes the alliance between Qi and Chu instantly hostile.
At that time, Qu Qi, Hou Chou, Kuang Zhang's Qi and Chu joint army in Shangzhou, Danyang, and other places to carry out a big war, the war was in full swing, Qin and Qi secretly signed a treaty, the envoys of the king of Qi quietly rushed to Kuang Zhang's camp, Kuang Zhang immediately defected.
Qu Beggar, Hou Chou's troops were less than 100,000, but they were surrounded by the combined forces of Qi and Qin. More than 70 generals, including Qu Qi and Hou Chou, were captured. The Qin Qi army suffered heavy losses, with two-thirds of the casualties, and only more than 10,000 people in the Chu State fled back to Shangnan.
The Qin general led the Qin and Han legions of 70,000 men to fight against the Chu and Qi coalition armies against Shangnan, but also due to the sudden defection of the Qi army, the Chu army of less than 3,000 people broke through the encirclement and withdrew to Shaoxi Pass.
Zhu Lijian immediately led Qin. Han. The Qi Combined Army marched south to the Danjiang River and joined forces with Gan Mao's Qin army to attack the Chu Army in the area from Dashiqiao to Gaowan on the east bank of the Danjiang River.
The entire army of Chu was annihilated, and no one survived, and the coalition army was also bleeding, and the Danjiang River changed color. After many years along the Danjiang River, there is still a bloody atmosphere.
The Chu general Zhaoyang dispatched troops in Nanyang, ordering the 50,000 Chu troops in Luoyang to go south and the 50,000 Chu troops in Xiangyang to the north, and at the same time rushing the 200,000 people of the strategic reserve army that could be mobilized in China to Shangnan.
Zhaoyang was defeated in Shangnan. Gan Mao's coalition army, Zhu Li. Gan Mao fled in disarray, and by the time he fled to Luonan, he had less than 1,000 men under his command.
Zhaoyang took advantage of the victory to face Sima Cuo from Shangzhou. WEI Zhang. Kuang Zhang's entire army, after the early attrition of the coalition army, could not stop the fierce offensive of the Chu army at all, and the coalition army was almost completely annihilated. The generals fled for their lives to Lonan.
The Chu general Jing Cui led the follow-up troops of the Chu State to Shangzhou. Zhaoyang, Jingcui soldiers are one, and they will fight one family, and they will go straight to Luonan. GAAN Mao. WEI Zhang. Kuang Zhang couldn't resist it, he was defeated, the Chu army attacked fiercely, and he had no choice but to abandon the city to save his life. The generals fled to the Blue Pass.
King Qin Huiwen was in a hurry to order Xianyang. Guanzhong, Anyi, and the Qin army in Longxi rushed to Languan in the starry night.
Zhaoyang and Jingcui waited for work, surrounded the point to send reinforcements, and the 'Wudang Army' was good at defense, and was defeated several times. GAAN Mao. WEI Zhang. Zhu Liji, including myself, are all defeated generals of the Chu people.
King Qin Huiwen was helpless, in order to appease the panic of the imperial court, including the people of Qin, he had to issue a 'curse of Chu edict', mobilizing men, women and children across the country to rush to the basket pass with weapons in hand, and the two countries of Qin and Chu fought against the blue pass again.
Today, King Wu of Qin, as the crown prince, also participated. Wuwang Kong Wu is powerful, and his strength can carry the Ding, but unfortunately he was also defeated under Zhaoyang's horse, Wei Zhang, Zhu Liji, and Gan Mao took turns to fight.
The Chu army killed countless Qin troops, and even the most elite 'Feiyu' of the Qin State had no strength in the face of the unpredictable 'Wudang Army', but there was nowhere to show it.
King Qin Huiwen pretended to promise to return the land of Hanzhong in Chu State, and sent me as an envoy to Korea on the other. The state of Wei ceded the land east of the Yellow River to bribe the two countries, hoping that the two countries could quickly send troops to the Jianghan Valley, disrupt the deployment of the state of Chu, and force Zhaoyang. Jing Cui stopped attacking Qin.
Helplessly, this strategy was seen through by Zhaoyang, and Zhaoyang immediately divided his troops into three routes, all the way to conquer Lingbao, Tongguan to contain the Han Wei army in Luoyang Anyi, all the way to Duling, and Chang'an. Zhaoyang led the way to attack the Blue Pass.
King Qin Huiwen had no choice but to return to Hanzhong for peace.
The tragedy of the Battle of Languan, the defeat of the generals of the Qin State, and the merciless killing of the soldiers of the Qin State greatly stimulated the nerves of King Qin Huiwen. Frightened, he suffered a stroke and fell to the ground, never to get up again.
All the military and political power was handed over to Miyue, and he returned to the west in less than a year. Thanks to the relationship between the Chu clan in Miyue, begging Zhaoyang to withdraw his troops, and sending the documents for the return of Hanzhong to Chu, Zhaoyang ordered the withdrawal of the army and rushed to Nanyang to eliminate the Han Wei army.
It's lightweight, but that's a change in a few years. In the era when communications and transportation were extremely backward, every time a major battle was held, countries had to spend years preparing for it. There is no shortage of soldiers, horses, food, and grass, and only then will military struggles be put on the agenda.
"Prime Minister, the fish is ready! Is there a feast? "The attendants came to inquire.
"Good! Good! Fang Cai only cared about preaching, and his stomach was very hungry and thirsty, why don't we go and taste this Yellow River carp first? Zhang Yi asked.
Qu Ling's world happened at this moment, earth-shaking changes, and it seemed that all of a sudden, Jin Ge Iron Horse appeared in front of him, and his father turned out to be so brave. Hearing Zhang Yi's greeting, he naturally replied with a smile:
"I just listened to Mr. Description, but I never thought that I could hear it, and I didn't even catch a fish, I'm really ashamed!"
"Haha is already my honor to be able to fish with everyone today, it is already my Zhang Yi's honor, go drinking, taste fish, and don't get drunk and don't return." It can be seen that Zhang Yi is really happy today and poured out her inner world.
The three of them returned to the pavilion, the table had already been placed, and the various foods brought from the people were simple and down-to-earth. The prepared meals, naturally, are not exquisite at all compared to those of the Eastern countries.
The whole leg of mutton, the whole roast chicken, the whole roast goose, and a delicious steamed Yellow River carp, a few seasonal fresh vegetables, the wilderness in autumn, the abundant products, a few vegetables, it can be seen, it is also the result of local materials, and the wine just drunk is still tumbling in Juezhong.
"Confucius wrote in the Analects. Township Party"
Qi will change food, and dwelling must be moved. Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of fine'. I don't know how the old master felt when he saw this gluttonous banquet today? Zhang Yi said jokingly.
Seeing such delicacies, Meng said that he had been hungry for a long time, and when he heard Zhang Yi say this, he blurted out unconsciously:
"When Confucius was trapped between Chen Cai, he had no food for seven days, his eyes were dizzy when he was hungry, and his disciple Yan Hui asked for some rice to come back and cook it for him, but accidentally fell into some charcoal ash, Yan Hui felt that it was a pity to throw it away, so he grabbed it and sent it to his mouth. Seen by the old master.
The old master didn't know what to do, and when it was time to eat, he instead educated Yan Hui, saying that 'the present man dreams of the ancestors, eats clean and then feeds'. Frightened, Yan Hui hurriedly said, this rice is no longer clean, and it has just fallen into the charcoal ash, and it is a pity to throw it away, so you are afraid of disrespect when you eat it, so I quietly put it in my mouth.
You said that this old master is hungry like that, and he is still so particular. I really don't understand those Confucian students! ”。
"Hahaha... A strong man is really quick to talk, I like your temperament, but this Confucius has a good saying
'He who believes, but his eyes are not yet believed; The heart of the person who is relied on is also, and the heart is still not enough. The disciple remembered that it is not easy to know people. "It can be seen that it is very difficult to understand a person!" Zhang Yi said with emotion.
Qu Ling chuckled in his heart, why did he say this, could it be that he saw some flaws?
