Chapter 13: The Newborn Calf
Investment is risky, and you should be cautious when entering the market.
This famous saying of the stock market in later generations is the same when applied to people. One person attained the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven, Li Yuan had already expected the attitude of the two small families of the Hu family and the He family, but fortunately, Hu Zhuang and He Ping still had some vision, and they resisted the pressure of the family and continued to stay in Li Yuan's army to serve.
Li Yuan immediately rewarded his subordinates handsomely for their trust, and on 10 September, Li Yuan acted vigorously and resolutely and began to exercise military control over the three counties of Daliang that he actually controlled.
With great courage and courage, he appointed Hou Xi as Gongcao, Hu Zhuang as a cangist, and He Ping as the third elder, and began to re-evaluate and reappoint the officials set up by the Qin State, so as to strengthen the administrative jurisdiction of the three counties of Daliang, and initially established a local political power organ that was different from the army.
With no way forward, blocked left and right, and unable to move in the land of projectiles by many powerful shili, Li Yuan is determined to strike a blow. Young people are fearless. What's more, the tiger is still sick. Regardless of his bullshit court, no matter what he is, the enemy is strong and I am weak, if there is a kind, let the horse come over and try it, it's a big deal, Lao Tzu will treat the welfare of this crossing as a day trip.
Li Yuan didn't care about it, his subordinates Wang Lao Liu and others were all rough men, and they didn't know anything about the esoteric things about the distribution of power in the national system, which made Li Yuan a little less depressed.
After the injury, I practiced with the athletes in the army, and tried which one of the skills I had trained in the army after seven years of military training was more powerful than the ancient heroes. Occasionally, one or two operable ideas were put forward to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, such as: Li Yuan's army lacked weapons, there were no smelting craftsmen and places in the Daliang area, and it was not easy to supply weapons in the army.
Weapons are known to be one inch long and one inch strong, and as a result, the bamboo pole soldiers lined up in the military formation almost completely defeated the other side holding swords, beryllium, spears and other standard weapons in training.
The bamboo pole grows, the thorn is very sharp, it is enough to deal with the coalition army with thin armor, in actual combat, even if the bamboo pole is cut off by the opponent, the remaining edge can continue to pierce the opponent, and it is more convenient that once the bamboo pole is completely broken and cannot be used, the companion in the rear formation can also hand another rod in time.
Bamboo spear, under the instruction of Li Yuan, began to equip the two military marquis troops under his command. Li Yuan buried his head in caring for his own one-third of an acre, but he didn't know that his "nonsense" had caused an invisible earthquake in the Qin State.
Li Yuan's self-appointed officials directly challenged the county system established by the First Emperor, and officials were no longer appointed by the imperial court, but were appointed by those who were actually in charge of the army, which was almost indistinguishable from rebellion.
The Kwantung princes opposed Qin because they were people from the Six Kingdoms and did not regret Qin for a long time, and Li Yuanjun had always belonged to the ranks of the Qin army, and he was a member of Prime Minister Li Si's family.
These days, Li Si was imprisoned, Li You died in battle but was also falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy, the county military system that has been under the jurisdiction of Li Si has been suppressed for a long time, one of the foundations of the Qin State's governance, the pillar of local administration was kicked down by Li Yuan at the moment of crumbling.
Separation.
Under the strong charismatic rule of the First Emperor, Li Si, the representative of the local powerful faction, Zhao Gao, the representative of the palace faction, and Meng Tian, the representative of the hereditary military generals, restrained and balanced each other, ensuring the efficient operation of the huge Qin Empire's war machine, and after the death of the First Emperor, his successors obviously did not balance this well.
First of all, Meng Tian was killed, which led to the centrifugal detachment of the most powerful of the three pillars, and then Li Si was imprisoned, and the most broad-based county official system began to collapse, leaving Zhao Gao alone in Xianyang to write, direct and act in a big play, until he was bombarded by unbearable opponents.
On the 14th, Dangjun, Wai Huang.
After confronting the Chu army for several days, the Dangjun county guard suddenly led his troops to evacuate the city and led his headquarters to cross the river to Qidi, and then this Qin army evaporated as if out of thin air, and there was no trace. Dangjun is a large county in the Kanto region, and there is one out of twenty counties, and the area around Daliang guarded by Li Yuan also belongs to Dangjun according to the administrative division. Later, it was only because of the importance of Xingyang's location that he was militarily at the disposal of Sanchuan County.
As soon as Waihuang was lost, the blockage of the anti-Qin coalition army to the west almost ceased to exist, and on the westward march of the coalition army, the area around Daliang, where Li Yuan was currently stationed, was the place where it must pass.
At the end of September, the battle between the general Zhang Han and Xiang Liang, the Wuxin Jun of Chu State, had a result in Dingtao, and the overconfident Xiang Liang was defeated and killed by Zhang Han without recalling his nephew Xiang Yu and other fierce generals. Subsequently, Zhang Han was ordered by the imperial court to cross the Yellow River north into Zhao to encircle and suppress Zhang Er, Chen Yu and other rebels.
Zhang Han's action is really confusing, it is advisable to chase after the poor Kou, although the king of Chu Xiong Xin is the nominal king, but the appeal is still there, Pengcheng is not far from Dingtao, as long as you add a little more force, the heroes of Chu can only tear each other apart, and wait until the heroes elect a new leader, and I don't know what year and month.
The Qin army made a strategic mistake, and the reason is quite complicated, and it is very simple to say simple. The Qin border guards guarding the Great Wall to the north went south. After the general Wang Li made tentative contact with Liu Bangjun in the area of Gongli, he returned to Zhao and surrounded the most tenacious Zhao Wang among the princes in the area of Julu.
Zhao is the sworn enemy of Qin, the smoke of the Battle of Changping is still there, and the Zhao people of Hufu have always been regarded as strong opponents of the Qin army, as an arrow to extinguish the resistance to Liliang, Zhang Han will never allow Wang Li's limelight to overshadow him.
What's more, the northward march into Zhao is not only a military need, but also a political need. Zhao Gao, who had just taken over as prime minister, needed one victory after another to consolidate the position of the DPRK and China, and since Chu Di had no eye-catching targets, it was necessary to change to a more influential target.
In October, thanks to the internal strife of the Qin State, the powerful men of Chu unexpectedly got a chance to breathe, and Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, summoned all walks of life in Chen Di to oppose Qin Shili in Pengcheng, and made a date to join the alliance to go west and the Northern Expedition, and agreed that the one who entered the pass first would be the king. The Western Expeditionary Army, led by Liu Bang, Hou Peigong of Wu'an, led the coalition army to attack the area of Sanchuan County and Dangjun, and the Northern Expeditionary Army, with Song Yi as the general and Xiang Yu as the second general, went to Zhao to reinforce the besieged Zhao army.
