Chapter 125: Pandora's "Meaning" XVI
The Battle of Changping, evidence of crimes through the ages. There is only one remaining enemy of the Qin State: the Zhao State. Among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the one most likely to compete with Qin for the right to unify was also Zhao.
After the completion of the reform of the Shang Dynasty of the Qin State, the Zhao State also began the reform of "Hufu Cavalry Shooting". The evenly matched strength of Qin and Zhao can be seen from the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States": Bai Qi Zhan Lian Po, Wang Jian vs. Li Mu, they belong to Qin and Zhao and are each other's lifelong rivals.
In 262 B.C., Bai Qi attacked Korea again, capturing Yewangcheng (present-day Qinyang, Henan), cutting off the connection between Shangdang (present-day Changzhi, Shanxi) and the capital (Xinzheng) in Korea.
Feng Ting, the county guard of Shangdang, discussed with the common people and said: "The road to the capital has been cut off, and Korea will definitely not be able to control us." The Qin army is approaching, and Korea can't respond, so we might as well join Zhao. If the Zhao State accepts us, the Qin State will definitely attack the Zhao State. Zhao was threatened with force and was bound to form an alliance with South Korea. In this way, it will be able to block the Qin State. β
The annexation of the party caused a controversy in the state of Zhao. Some foresee the scourge, others covet a county. In the end, King Zhao decided to accept the party.
Two years later, Qin's revenge came. The Qin general Wang Ji seized Shangdang, and the Shangdang soldiers and civilians fled to Zhao State. Zhao garrisoned troops in Changping (present-day Changping Village, Gaoping, Shanxi) to meet the people of Shangdang. This gave Qin the pretext of attacking Zhao.
The Battle of Changping was a life-and-death battle between Qin and Zhao. The state of Zhao sent the ace general Lian Po. In Changping, Lian Po is strong and clear. Not out for three years. Forcing the Qin army into a stalemate.
The helpless Qin people thought of a good way. The most famous anti-plot in history was staged - Qin Xiang Fan Ju sent people to enter the Zhao State with a thousand taels of gold, and the "spy" said that the Qin army was not afraid of Lian Po, what ability Lian Po had, he would only defend and not attack, and the Qin army was afraid of Zhao Hao's son Zhao Kuo.
King Zhao really fell for the plan and immediately transferred Zhao Kuo to the front line. Zhao Kuo can only talk on paper. I don't know how to respond to emergencies. After the Qin State succeeded in its counter-plan, it immediately used Bai Qi as the main general, and Wang Yi as the deputy general. At the same time, he ordered: "Anyone who dares to divulge the secret of Wu Anjun's role as the commander will be killed!" The set of strategies prepared by Zhao Kuo to deal with Wang Di completely failed.
The Battle of Changping ended in a victory for Bai Qi. Zhao Kuo was cornered and shot dead by the Qin army, and 400,000 soldiers surrendered.
At this time, Bai Qi made an incredible decision - in order to prevent the surrender of the troops from rioting, except for sending 240 young Zhao soldiers back to China to report the news, the rest of the people were all killed!
Zhao Guo was shocked, and the Seven Kingdoms were shocked. This is also a strong stroke left by Bai Qi in the history books. Even though he has undefeated military exploits in his life, he has 400,000 soldiers. It has become an indefensible evidence of the crime, and has achieved the name of a god of war and a god of killing through the ages.
And the eternal killing of the gods, but ended up with the suspicion of the king, and the same tragic ending. After the Battle of Changping, it was the best time for Qin to destroy Zhao, and Bai Qi certainly hoped to do it once and for all. But after reporting and reporting, Zhao Guo also thought of a counter-plan. In 259 B.C., the famous lobbyist Su Dai was commissioned by the king of Zhao to bring rich gifts to Qin.
Su Dai asked Qin Xiang Fan Ju rhetorically: "Did Wu Anjun capture and kill Zhao Kuo?" "Yes." "Is the Qin State about to besiege the Zhao capital Handan?" "Yes."
Su Dai then said: "After destroying the Zhao State, the Qin State is the king, Wu Anjun must be ranked as the third duke, and he captured more than 70 cities for the Qin State, which is the credit of the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao in history, and it is nothing more than that." When the time comes, you'll be relegated. β
Su Dai went on to say: "The people of Shangdang would rather belong to Zhao than surrender to Qin, which shows that the people of the world do not want to be subjects of Qin. If the Qin State destroys the Zhao State, the people in the north of the Zhao State will defect to the Yan State, the east will be included in the Qi State, and the south will go to the Wei State of Korea, how many people can the Qin State get? It is better to take advantage of Zhao Guo's panic to ask Zhao Guo to cut the land and sue for peace, and don't let Wu Anjun make contributions again. β
This passage touched Fan Ju's heart, and he really persuaded King Qin Zhao to negotiate peace, which made Bai Qi very disappointed. A year later, when King Qin Zhao wanted to attack Zhao again, the opportunity had been missed: Zhao had recovered from the heavy blow, and Bai Qi's body was not as good as before.
King Qin Zhao first sent Wang Ling to send troops, but he was defeated. So he went to ask Bai Qi, but Bai Qi categorically refused: "Handan is not so easy to take, not to mention that the rescuers from various countries have marched into Zhao State, and their resentment against Qin State is not limited to one day or two?" In the First Battle of Changping, although the Zhao army died 400,000, the Qin army also lost half, and our country was empty, and we had to go on expeditions to other countries. The Zhao army waited for work, and the reinforcements of various countries should be combined with the outside, and the Qin army would be defeated. β
King Zhao did not listen and forcibly sent troops. Soon, the second general, Wang Di, was indeed attacked by the Zhao, Chu and Wei Three Kingdoms Alliance.
Bai Qi couldn't help but be smug: "If you don't listen to me, how are you doing now?" This sentence reached the ears of King Zhao, and King Zhao became angry.
Well, then let's get up for nothing! Minister Fan Ju personally went to invite him, but Bai Qi was as strong as a scalper and refused to obey his fate. A general, since he cannot be used by the king, can only be abandoned by the king.
In 258 B.C., Bai Qi was deprived of his official position, reduced to a knighthood, demoted to a soldier, and moved to another country. Due to the recurrence of the disease, Bai Qi was unable to move far.
The three months he spent in Xianyang were just as the Qin army was retreating. King Qin Zhao, who was disgraced, didn't want to see Bai Qi continue to be proud, let alone let him see the failure of his decision-making, so he ordered him to leave immediately.
Before Bai Qi left, King Qin Zhao discussed with Fan Ju: "Bai Qi has a grudge in his heart, it is better to be executed." "Ten miles outside Xianyang City, Bai Qi received an order to give death.
The fierce Bai Qi pulled out his sword: "What is my mortal sin, why did I get this fate?" β
After a long time, he sighed again, "I deserve to die." In the Battle of Changping, 400,000 people of Zhao surrendered, and I deceived them and buried them all alive, which is enough for a capital crime. β
With that, he raised the blood-soaked sword and stabbed it at himself.
Bai Qi's tragedy stems from his character. King Zhao knew that he would be defeated but still ordered to go on the expedition, which was no longer a test of Bai Qi's military ability. It's a test of whether he obeys orders or not. Bai Qi couldn't see this. Again and again disobeyed.
After that, another famous general of the Qin State, Wang Qian, accepted Bai Qi's lesson well and got a good death at the hands of the brutal Qin Shi Huang.
In the eyes of later generations, Bai Qi appeared more in the image of "killing gods". However, at that time, he was the real "god of war" of the Qin State, and his military talent was unmatched.
Qin's eventual domination of the world was closely related to his decades of military exploitsβa fact that historians of all ages would deny.
From a generation of famous generals, Bai Qi, as the god of war of the ancient Qin State of the Blue Planet C, to the infamous god of killing through the ages. It's just a thought.
This is just like the size of the ability does not determine the good or the bad, the more capable the person, once he does a bad thing, it must be an earth-shattering bad thing.
And Gu Xiaolong, as the first strange person in the contemporary odd-even space, is standing at the crossroads of this life path, once he makes a wrong decision in a flash, will the first god of war in the odd-even space become the first killing god?
Or in the ancient times of the Blue Planet C country, there was a famous "Thirteen Taibao" Li Cunxiao, which was another famous god of war in ancient times.
"Thirteen Taibao" Li Cunxiao is a person. There is not much ink on the official history, but in romance novels and folklore. But it is very famous, aside from these legends, from a historical point of view, you can still see his courage and skill.
Blue Planet C Country History Book "History of the Old Five Dynasties? Tang Shu Lie Biography V? Li Cunxiao's Biography records: "My surname is An, and my name is Jingsi." Less than the prisoners have to be subordinate to the discipline and give it to the account. and strong, then ride and shoot, brave and crowned, often ride as a vanguard, did not taste defeat; From Emperor Wu to rescue Chen and Xu, chase Huang Kou, and be killed in Shangyuan, every battle is invincible... Cun filial piety every time the enemy, was heavily armored bow and sat on the lance, the servant with two horses, easy to ride in the formation, light and swift as flying, solo dance iron tree, stand up into battle, 10,000 people are easy, Gaigu Zhang Liao, Gan Ning ratio also. β
The History of the New Five Dynasties? "The Biography of Yi'er" "Cun Xiao, Daizhou Flying Fox is also." His surname is An, and his name is Jingsi. Taizu plundered the land on behalf of the north, gave the name to the account, thought it was a son, and often followed the horseman... Cun Xiao's arm is good at shooting, the body is heavily armored, the bow sits on the lance, the hand dances the iron tree, in and out of the formation, with two horses since then, the battle is easy to ride, up and down like flying. β
Both books mention Li Cunxiao's courage and courage, he often led the cavalry, as Li Keyong's vanguard, invincible, he wore heavy iron armor, carried bows and arrows and spears at his waist, and charged alone with iron skulls, and thousands of people fled in fear in front of him.
The most amazing thing is that he often fights with two war horses, and when the horse he rode was a little tired, he changed to another horse on the battlefield, and flew up and down, and his pride and courage were extremely brave.
Because Li Keyong couldn't compare with the generals in the barracks, Li Cunxin, who was also a "righteous child", betrayed Li Keyong out of jealousy, but with his brave husband, he was not the opponent of the scheming Li Keyong, and was caught by Li Ke in Youzhou with a little trick, and after being escorted back to Taiyuan, he ended his short life with the torture of five horses (or five oxen splitting corpses).
In this regard, "The History of the New Five Dynasties? Yi'er's Biography says: "Tie up the rear car, to Taiyuan, the car cracks to favor." β
In the Peking Opera "Flying Tiger Gang" or "Flying Tiger Mountain", the main story is: Li Cunxiao, that is, An Jingsi's parents died early, and he lived for people to herd sheep since he was a child, and then An Jingsi killed the tiger with his bare hands. coincided with the story of Li Keyong, the king of Li Jin, who witnessed An Jingsi's bravery, adopted him as a righteous son, and named him Li Cunxiao. The tomb of Li Cunxiao is at the foot of Taishan Mountain at the mouth of Fengyugou in Xishan Mountain, Taiyuan, Shanxi, its tomb is a stone mound of tombs, there is a small platform in front of the tomb, two stone ingots are placed on it, there is a stone tablet, and "the tomb of Li Cunxiao" is engraved on it.
The most famous fierce general in the history of the five dynasties is Li Cunxiao, in some wild histories have said that Li Cunxiao led the eighteen cavalry to capture Chang'an, although it is an exaggeration, but it can also be seen Li Cunxiao's bravery.
Li Cunxiao is a member of the Jin King Li Keyong's command, and is also one of Li Keyong's many "righteous children", because he ranks thirteenth, so he is called the "Thirteen Taibao", and it is also the most famous one of the thirteen Taibao.
In the legend, his death is even more mythical: because of his boundless power, during the execution, he tied ropes to his hands, feet and neck and pulled him away with five oxen, but he could not be killed. On the contrary, with a single force, he was able to pull all five cows backwards.
Later, Li Keyong sent someone to coax him to say that after he died, the Heavenly Jade Emperor would give him a good position, which was much better than on earth. Only then did he relax his five bodies and calmly die.
In the first month of the first year of Jingfu (892 AD), Wang Rong and Li Congwei joined forces with more than 100,000 troops to attack Yaoshan. Li Keyong appointed Li Cunxin as the commander of Fan and Han Mabu. Cooperate with Li Cunxiao to attack the king. Li Cunxiao and Li Cunxin were suspicious and jealous of each other, and stayed on the sidelines of each other without moving forward.
Li Keyong had to reassign Li Sixun to defeat the armies of Youzhou and Zhenzhou, killing and capturing 30,000 people. Li Cunxin returned to Li Keyong and slandered: "Cunxiao has two hearts, and he often avoids Zhao Bu attack." β
Li Cunxiao was uneasy, and secretly connected Liang (Zhu Wen) and Zhao, and submitted a seal to the imperial court to return to the imperial court with Xingzhou, Zhou, and Cizhou. and asked for a reward for him to be given the banner of the envoy, and to join forces with the armies to defeat Li Keyong.
Zhaozong issued an edict appointing Li Cunxiao as the envoy of Xingzhou, Zhou, and Cizhou, but did not agree to the move of the rendezvous army, and only ordered Wang Rong to go to the rescue.
In the following March, Li Keyong and Yiwu Jiedu envoy Wang Chucun combined an army to attack Wang Rong, Guichou (the ninth day of the first month), and conquered Tianchang Town in the northeast of the Hutuo River.
On the afternoon of Wuwu (14th), Wang Rong fought a fierce battle with Li Keyong and Wang Chucun in Xinshi, Jiumen County, Zhenzhou, and as a result, Li Keyong and Wang Chucun were defeated this time. was beheaded and captured more than 30,000 people; Xinyou (17th), Li Keyong led the crowd to retreat to Luancheng and stationed. Tang Zhaozong issued an edict to persuade Hedong and the four towns of Zhenzhou, Dingzhou and Youzhou to reconcile.
In the second year of Gyeongbok (893 AD). Li Ke personally led the army out of the well and forced Zhending, but Li Cunxiao went to see Wang Rong to discuss the military plane.
Li Keyong was furious when he knew it, and sent troops to ask for filial piety in July, Wang Rong first sent troops to rescue Xingzhou, which was defeated by Li Keyong in Pingshan, Renshen (the sixth day of the first month), and Li Keyong attacked Zhenzhou. Wang Rong was very frightened, and changed his banner on the verge of battle, "Beg the alliance, enter 500,000 coins, return 200,000 grains, please send troops to help save filial piety" ("New Tang Dynasty Book"). Li Keyong granted Wang Rong's request.
Li Keyong trained the army in Luancheng, and joined Wang Rong's army of 30,000 people to be stationed in Ren County, southeast of Xingzhou, and Li Cunxin was stationed in Liulipi, Longgang County, Xingzhou.
In September, Li Cunxiao invaded Li Cunxin's camp at night, captured Sun Kaolao, the envoy of Fengcheng's army, and the Cunxin army was in chaos. Li Keyong personally led his troops to go and dig trenches to besiege the city. Li Cunxiao sent troops to attack, and the Jin army was unable to build a trench.
Yuan Fengtao, the general of Hedongya, sent someone to Li Cunxiao and said, "What you are afraid of is only the king of Jin. When the king of Jin waits for the ditch to be built, he will definitely leave troops to besiege the city and retreat by himself, all the generals under him are not your opponents, what is the use of building the ditch? β
Li Cunxiao agreed, so he let the Jin army build a trench. After the trench was built, the deep ditch was high and could not be approached, and Li Cunxiao was very passive. The city ran out of food.
In March of the first year of Qianning (894 AD), Cunxiao climbed the city tower and cried and said to Li Keyong under the city: "The son is the great favor of the king, and he is the prime minister, are you willing to give up the relationship between father and son and join the enemy?" This is because of the false accusation of trust. I hope to live to see the king, and die if I say a word. β
Li Keyong was very sentimental and sent Mrs. Liu into the city to offer condolences. Mrs. Liu came back with Li Cunxiao, and he kowtowed and pleaded: "My son Yu Jin has merit but no fault, so at this point, it is because of the letter!" β
Li Keyong scolded: "The letters you wrote to Zhu Quanzhong and Wang Rong slandered me, is this what Li Cunxin forced you to do?!" β
So he was escorted back to Taiyuan and executed by splitting the car. In fact, Li Keyong didn't want to kill him, and hoped that the generals would intercede for him, so he was exempted from his crimes, but who knew that the generals were jealous of him, and none of them interceded for him.
Li Keyong hated the generals for this, but he never condemned Li Cunxin. Li Keyong regretted his filial piety and ignored political affairs for more than ten days, and his army gradually weakened, while Zhu Wen's power began to become stronger and stronger.
After Li Cunxiao's death, Li Keyong gambled with the generals every time, and he cried when he talked about Li Cunxiao. In October of the first year of Qianning, Zhaoyi Jiedu made Kang Junli go to Jinyang to meet Li Keyong. Before (30th), Li Keyong gathered his subordinate generals to drink to their heart's content, and drank to the end, Li Keyong talked about Li Cunxiao, and tears kept flowing down.
Kang Junli was usually close and friendly with Li Cunxin, but accidentally angered Li Keyong with a word, and Li Keyong slashed at Kang Junli with his sword, imprisoned him in Mabusi, and soon poisoned him.
Since ancient times, in Datong and Shuozhou, there is a legend of Li Cunxiao, the thirteenth Taibao.
Back then, in a small village in Daizhou, a stone monument of a general was erected in the village.
Legend has it that this stone statue is a star in the sky, and anyone who is favored by General Shi will get good luck.
One day, a girl surnamed He in the village came back from picking flowers, she saw this stone statue, threw it casually, and the flower basket was actually put on General Shi's neck impartially.
Unexpectedly, when this He girl returned home, she became pregnant. In that era, unmarried pregnancy was to be despised.
Although Miss He's repeated explanations were to no avail, she could only give birth to the child. Relatives and friends gradually drifted away, Miss He took a child, and the mother and son lived alone.
When the child was four years old, Miss He took the child to General Nashi and asked the child to worship his father.
Unexpectedly, when the child knew that his father was such a stone statue, he launched a ruthless attack and smashed the stone statue with one punch.
Seeing this, Miss He couldn't help but be furious, and she was angry and anxious. She forced the child to kneel down and plead guilty to his father, and asked the child to pick up the stones on the ground and put them back one by one, and named the child "Jing Si" (a homonym for Anjin stone) to remember this.
Xiao Jingsi's life is very hard, and the mother and son depend on each other. One day when he was ten years old, Xiao Jingsi was herding sheep on a hillside.
At this time, a fierce tiger suddenly appeared on the hillside, menacing. However, in the face of the tiger, Xiao Jingsi was not afraid.
He was born with divine power, although the tiger can be called the most evil in the world, he didn't take it seriously, and even beat the tiger to death with his bare hands.
At this time, on the opposite mountain stream, a person happened to walk by. He is Li Keyong, the king of Jin. Li Keyong saw from afar that this child was still young and could actually beat the tiger to death, and he loved it very much.
He deliberately said to this side: "Which child killed my tiger?" Xiao Jingsi was not angry, looked at Li Keyong, and said, "It turns out that this tiger is raised by you." It's not right for me to kill the tiger you raised, so I'll give the tiger back to you. β
After that, across a mountain stream, he threw the whole tiger over like a stone and threw it in front of Li Keyong. Li Keyong saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
After that, Li Keyong asked each family whose child it was. He found Miss He's home, met Miss He, and asked about Xiao Jingsi's life experience.
He was very fond of Xiao Jing Sina, so he hoped to adopt him as a righteous son. And when Miss He knew that the other party was the famous Li Keyong, she readily agreed, and from then on, Jing Si changed her name to Li Cunxiao, followed Li Keyong left and right, followed Li Keyong to conquer the north and south, and became Li Keyong's right-hand man.
With his innate divine power, coupled with excellent martial arts, Li Cunxiao fought in the north and south, and was invincible. Even Wang Yanzhang, the second iron spear in the world of martial arts, couldn't go two rounds under Li Cunxiao.
And Gao Jisi, who is the third in martial arts, once took advantage of the situation to defeat many Tang generals after Li Cunxiao picked dozens of generals in a row.
After Li Cunxiao heard about it, he put on a battle and used ten rounds to capture Gao Jisi, whose martial arts were not much weaker than Wang Yanzhang, with a serious illness.
Later, after Li Cunxiao's death, Wang Yanzhang was no longer invincible, and even picked 36 fierce generals of the Jin army, so anxious that Li Keyong cried and said: "If my son Cunxiao is here, why is it here?" β
At the critical moment, the military advisor came up with a plan and sent someone to pretend to be Li Cunxiao to go out of battle, but he scared Wang Yanzhang away and scared Wang Yanzhang's younger brother Wang Yanlong to death. From these things, we can see Li Cunxiao's bravery.
"Thirteen Taibao" Li Cunxiao because of his amazing martial arts, every battle must win, won the reputation of "the king is not a tyrant, the general is not Li", is a well-deserved god of war in ancient times of the Blue Planet C country, but also because of the jealousy and slander of traitors, leading to a tragic ending.
