Chapter 185: The Twelve Factions of the Hundred Schools of Thought 23

In addition to the writings of the soldiers, there is another aspect that has a great influence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This aspect is that the people of the military family sometimes form a family military general system, which can be summarized as one of the beginnings of the military family.

Of course, it is not necessarily the people of the military family who form the military family, and this is largely influenced by the ancient system of conscription of soldiers.

However, the formation of a military family has a certain relationship with the military family, or its celebrity as a soldier, or a famous general in the world.

......

The more famous military families of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had the following four families in the case of removing some of the little influence, or they themselves were members of the royal faction.

These four families are the Sun family (Sun Wu, Sun Bin), Lejia (Leyang, Leshu, Lechi, Leyi, Lecheng, Lejian), Mengjia (Mengfu, Mengwu, Mengtian), and Wang Jia (Wang Su, Wang Ling, Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Wang Li).

I don't say much about the situation of the Sun family, because Sun Wu and Sun Bin themselves are the two representatives of the Bing family.

Lejia, on the other hand, is a military family that is likely to be created by Leyang.

......

Le Yang, year of birth and death unknown, a native of Anyi (now Xia County, Shanxi), an ancestor of Le Yi, and a general of Wei during the Warring States Period. Le Yang was a guest of Wei Xiang Zhai Huang at the beginning, and later became famous for his defeat of Zhongshan.

Le Yang was originally a guest of Zhai Huang, the prime minister of Wei. In the seventeenth year of Wei Wenhou (408 B.C.), the king of Zhongshan sent troops to invade Wei, and Zhai Huang recommended Leyang. But Le Shu, the son of Le Yang, was a general of Zhongshan and killed Zhai Jing, the son of Zhai Huang. But Zhai Huang knew that Leyang was a human being, regardless of grievances, and tried to protect Leyang as the coach to send troops to attack Zhongshan.

After Leyang sent out the army, because the enemy was strong and I was weak, he implemented a strategy of delaying the army. When the news came, there was a big uproar in the DPRK and China, and the ministers falsely accused Leyang of collaborating with the enemy. At this time, Zhongshan Guojun killed Le Shu and boiled it into meat soup and gave it to Le Yang.

Le Yang is a sign of loyalty. So he sat in the tent and ate the meat soup, and ate it all.

Wei Wenhou said to his master: "For the sake of my country, Le Yang actually ate his son's meat. Seeing the teacher, he said: "Even eat his son's meat, who else does he dare not eat meat!" Subsequently, Leyang defeated the Zhongshan army and captured the Zhongshan country.

Although Wei Wenhou rewarded Le Yang for his exploits, he sealed it in Lingshou. But he doubted the heart of the sheep and thought that the sheep was cruel. There is no father-son affection.

After the death of Le Yang, he was buried in Lingshou, and the descendants of Le Yang settled in Lingshou.

In "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn", there is an allusion about Le Yang:

After Leyang conquered Zhongshan, he returned to China to report to Wei Wenhou, showing a proud look of praise. Sensing this, Wei Wenhou ordered the official in charge of clerical work, saying, "Bring in the letters presented by the ministers and guests." The clerk in charge of the clerk came in with two boxes of letters. Wei Wenhou asked Le Yang to read these letters. The letters are all reproaches for the attack on the Zhongshan Kingdom. Le Yang turned around and took a few steps back, bowed to the north again, and said, "Capture Zhongshan Kingdom." It's not my strength, it's the merit of you, the sovereign. ”

Of course, it seems that it is still a little insufficient to say that Leyang has created a military family just by saying this.

However, during Le Yang's war against Zhongshan, his son was killed by the king of Zhongshan. The person who made the meat soup, the unlucky guy whose name is said to be Leshu, learned what Leyang taught.

Le Shu, the son of the famous general Le Yang of the Wei State, and the ancestor of the famous general Le Yi of the Yan State. Zhongshan Wengong. He led his troops to defeat the Wei State and killed Zhai Jing, the son of Zhai Huang, the Marquis of Wei. Later, the Wei State invaded Zhongshan, and the two sides fought fiercely for three years, and in order to force Le Yang to retreat, he was killed by Zhongshan Wugong and boiled into soup.

In order to make Wei retreat from the army, Zhongshan Wugong killed him in the 40th year of Wei Wenhou (406 BC), boiled it into soup and gave it to Leyang. Le Yang drank it all.

In the twenty-fourth year of King Zhou An (378 B.C.), the youngest son of Zhongshan Wugong summoned the Zhongshan people to restore the country, and immediately called the king as Zhongshan Huangong, and he worshiped Leyang's grandson, Leshu's son Lechi as a general.

In the second year of King Huan of Zhongshan (377 BC), Marquis Wu of Wei sent troops to attack Zhongshan and fought with the Zhongshan army in Hushui. The Wei army was again defeated by the Zhongshan army. Wei lost its troops and lost its generals, and never dared to commit Zhongshan again. At this time, Zhao took the opportunity of Zhongshan to fight against Wei with all his might, and suddenly sent troops to occupy Zhongshan Guo's house, Lingshou and other places. The Zhongshan army suffered heavy losses in the battle against the Wei army, and was unable to fight against the Zhao state, so it had to swallow its anger.

In the fifth year of King Huan of Zhongshan (374 BC), the Zhongshan army quickly became strong after three years of recuperation. King Huan sent the general Le Chi to lead his troops to counterattack Zhao State, and soon recaptured Fanwu, Lingshou and other cities. In the sixth year of King Huan of Zhongshan (373 B.C.), the capital of Zhongshan was moved to Lingshou, and King Huan worshiped the general Lechi as the prime minister. After Zhongshan Chenggong ascended the throne (339 BC), he still took Le Chi as his general, and Sima Cheng as the minister of palace guards. Soon after, Xiangguo Orchestra Chi died.

......

From these rumors, it can be seen that although Le Yang was born in Weimo, what he learned influenced his descendants, whether it was Le Shu or Le Chi, who were relied on by the successive monarchs of Zhongshan as a dry city.

And it is very likely that Le Yang was unable to capture the capital of Zhongshan because of Le Shu's desperate resistance, which eventually led to what happened later.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi is skeptical about this. After all, if Le Yang had this kind of ability at that time, even if he went to meet Wei Wenhou, it was estimated that he would not need to take refuge in Huo Huang's men. Moreover, when Le Shu attacked Wei in Zhongshan, he killed Huo Jing on the battlefield, and it may be because of this that Le Yang had to be recommended by Huo Huang to meet Wei Wenhou for reasons to protect his family.

However, it can be seen that Le Yang was already forty years old or even older at that time, and as a military celebrity, Le Yang was unknown before this, I am afraid that although he studied what he had learned from soldiers, he had no interest in leading the army.

......

In addition to the three grandchildren of Le Yang, Le Shu, and Le Chi, the descendants of Le Yang also have a Le Yi, as well as two music rooms and music rides that are also famous generals.

Le Yi, year of birth and death unknown, surname of the child, Le's, name Yi, the word Yongba. Zhongshan Lingshou (now northwest of Lingshou, Hebei), an outstanding military strategist in the late Warring States period, a descendant of Wei Jiangle Yang, a general of Bai Yan, was named the monarch of Changguo, and assisted King Yan Zhao to revitalize the Yan Kingdom.

In 284 B.C., he commanded the allied forces of Yan and other five countries to attack Qi and conquered more than 70 cities, creating a famous example of the weak defeating the strong in the history of ancient Chinese warfare, and avenging the revenge of the strong Qi against Yan. Later, he was suspicious of King Yan Hui. defected to Zhao State, was sealed in Guanjin, and was called Wangzhujun.

Le Yi is a bright young man who likes the art of war, and someone in Zhao Guo once recommended him to be an official. After King Wuling was besieged and starved to death in the Dune Palace, he left Zhao for Wei.

Later, he heard that King Yan Zhao was defeated by the Qi State because of the reign of his son and the chaos of the Yan Kingdom. Therefore, King Yan Zhao was very resentful of the Qi State, and he never forgot to take revenge on the Qi State for a day. Yan is a weak country. Located in a remote area, the national strength can not defeat the enemy, so King Yan Zhao lowered his identity, Corporal Lixian, he first respected Guo Kui to recruit the world's wise men.

At this time, Le Yi sent an envoy to the Yan Kingdom for King Wei Zhao, and the King of Yan received him with the courtesy of a guest. Le Yi resigned humbly, and finally presented a gift to King Yan Zhao to express his willingness to dedicate himself to be a subordinate, and King Yan Zhao appointed him as Yaqing. He has been in this position for a long time.

At that time, King Min of Qi was very strong, defeating Tang Yi, the prime minister of Chu, in Chongqiu in the south, defeating Wei and Zhao in Guanjin in the west, and then united Han, Zhao, and Wei to attack Qin, and also helped Zhao to destroy Zhongshan and Song. Expanded the territory of more than a thousand miles. Together with King Qin Zhao, he fought for the title of emperor, and soon he canceled the title of Eastern Emperor and remained king. The vassal states all planned to turn their backs on Qin and submit to Qi. However, King Qi Min was very arrogant and arrogant, and the people could no longer tolerate his tyranny. King Yan Zhao thought that the opportunity to attack the Qi State had come, so he asked Le Yi about the attack on the Qi State. Le Yi replied: "Qi State, it was originally a hegemon, and now it still retains the foundation of the hegemon. The land is vast and the population is so large that it cannot be easily attacked alone. If the king must attack it, it is better to unite with Zhao and Chu and Wei to attack it together. So King Yan Zhao sent Le Yi to form an alliance with King Huiwen of Zhao, and sent others to unite Chu and Wei, and asked Zhao to persuade Qin with the advantage of attacking Qi. Because the princes thought that the arrogance and tyranny of King Min of Qi was also a scourge to all countries, they all vied with Yan to jointly crusade against Qi.

Le Yi came back to report on the envoy, and King Yan Zhao mobilized the troops of the whole country. Le Yi was sent to serve as a general, and King Zhao Huiwen awarded the Great Seal of Xiangguo to Le Yi. Le Yi then commanded the armies of Zhao, Chu, Han, Wei, and Yan to attack Qi.

When King Min of Qi heard the news, he personally led the main force of the Qi army to meet the west of Jishui (in the northwest of present-day Jinan, Shandong Province). When the two armies met, Le Yi personally visited the former enemy and led the five-nation coalition army to launch a fierce attack on the Qi army. King Min of Qi was defeated and fled back to Linzi, the capital of Qi, with the remnants of his army (see Battle of Jixi). Le Yi sent back the armies of the princes who had participated in the war from afar, and planned to personally lead the Yan army to attack Linzi and destroy Qi in one fell swoop. Strategist Ju Xin believes that the Yan army cannot destroy Qi independently, and opposes the long-term direct entry. Le Yi thought that the elite of the Qi army had been lost, the country was in turmoil, and the situation of Yan was weak and Qi was strong, so he insisted on leading the Yan army to pursue the victory, which really made the Qi country chaotic, and the king of Qi Min fled.

The Yan army, under the command of Le Yi, pursued and defeated the fleeing enemy alone, and pursued it all the way to Linzi, the capital of Qi. King Min of Qi saw that the lonely city of Linzi was difficult to defend, so he fled to Juyi and held the city. Le Yi stayed alone to lead his troops to patrol the occupied places, and all the cities of Qi held on to the cities and refused to surrender. Le Yi concentrated his forces on attacking Linzi, and after taking Linzi, he seized all the treasures and belongings of the Qi State and the sacrificial utensils of the Zongmiao and transported them to the Yan Kingdom. King Yan Zhao was overjoyed, and personally rushed to the shore of Jishui to comfort the army, rewarded and rewarded the soldiers with wine and meat, and gave Changguo to Le Yi, with the title of Changguojun. When King Yan Zhao brought back the loot captured in Qi State, and let Le Yi continue to lead his troops to attack the cities of Qi that had not yet been taken.

Le Yi stayed in the Qi State for five years to patrol and fight, and captured more than 70 cities in the Qi State, all of which were divided into counties and belonged to the Yan State, and only Ju and Jimo were not subdued. The country of Yan has never been stronger. Le Yi believes that relying on force alone to break its city and not be able to convince it, and if the people are not convinced, even if they occupy all the Qi country, they will not be able to consolidate it. Therefore, he adopted the policy of besieging Jucheng and Jimo without attacking them, and implemented policies to convince the people of the people such as reducing taxes in the areas that had been conquered, abolishing harsh administration, respecting local customs and habits, protecting the inherent culture of the Qi State, and giving preferential treatment to local celebrities, in order to fundamentally disintegrate the Qi State.

In 279 BC, King Yan Zhao died, and the crown prince Lezi ascended the throne and was called King Yan Hui. King Yan Hui had been dissatisfied with Le Yi since he was the crown prince, and after he ascended the throne, Tian Dan of Qi State learned that he had a conflict with Le Yi, so he carried out a counter-plot against Yan State, spreading rumors and saying: "There are only two cities that have not been captured by Qi State." And the reason why he didn't take it down as soon as possible, I heard that Le Yi had a grudge against the newly enthroned monarch of Yan Guo, and Le Yi used troops intermittently to deliberately delay time and stay in Qi State, preparing to claim the throne in Qi State. What Qi Guo is worried about is only afraid that other generals will come. ”

At that time, King Yan Hui was already suspicious of Le Yi, and was provoked by the anti-intrigue of the Qi State, so he sent a cavalry robber to replace Le Yi as a general, and recalled Le Yi. Le Yi knew in his heart that it was ill-intentioned for King Yan Hui to send someone to replace him, and he was afraid that he would be killed after returning to China, so he went west and surrendered to Zhao. Zhao Guo gave the place of Guanjin to Le Yi, and the title was Wangzhujun. Zhao Guo has great respect for Le Yi and his favorite, which he uses to shake and deter Yan and Qi.

Qi Guotian Shan later fought with the cavalry, and really set up a deception to confuse the Yan army with a scheme, and as a result, the cavalry army was defeated under the city of Jimo, and then chased the Yan army in battle, chased the Yan army to the north, chased it to the north to the Yellow River, recovered all the cities of the Qi country, and welcomed the king of Qi Xiang back to the capital Linzi from Juyi.

King Yan Hui regretted that he had sent cavalry robbers to replace Le Yi, which caused the Yan army to suffer a heavy defeat and lose the occupied land of Qi; however, he resented Le Yi's surrender to Zhao, and was afraid that Zhao would appoint Le Yi to take advantage of the defeat and fatigue of Yan's army to attack Yan. King Yan Hui sent people to Zhao State to rebuke Le Yi, and at the same time apologized to him, saying: "The first king entrusted the entire Yan State to the general, and the general avenged the deep hatred for the defeat of Qi State for Yan State, and avenged the deep hatred for the first king. I sent cavalry robbers to replace the general, because the general has been away for a long time and has been sleeping in the open air, so I recalled the general to rest for the time being, so as to discuss the political plan of the court. I didn't want the general to mishear the rumors and think that there was something wrong with me, so he abandoned Yan and returned to Zhao. It's okay for the general to plan for himself, but how can he be worthy of the deep affection of the former king for the general?"

To this end, Le Yi generously wrote the famous "Book of Reporting Yan Hui Wang", in which he aimed at the unreasonable accusations and hypocritical whitewashing of King Hui, showing his loyalty to the former king, and the acquaintance between the former king, refuting King Hui's various accusations and misunderstandings about himself, expressing his indignation at the failure of his achievements, and using Wu Zixu's historical lesson of "good authors do not have to be good at success, and good beginnings do not have to end well" to affirm that he did not serve the foolish and loyal to the unconscious master, and did not learn from the unjust ghosts to die, so he ran away.

So King Yan Hui made Le Yi's son Le Jian the king of Chang Guo, and Le Yi traveled back and forth between Zhao and Yan and re-established friendship with Yan State, and both Yan and Zhao appointed him as a guest secretary. Le Yi died in Zhao State.

......

Two points can be seen from Le Yi's account:

The first point is that the military book that Le Yi reads is likely to be the experience of Le Yang, Le Shu, Le Chi and others in leading the troops to fight, to put it simply, it is a family heirloom of soldiers. And in this way, Le Yi himself is a soldier of the Leyang faction and is active on the stage of the Warring States Period.

The second point is that when Le Yi defected to King Yan Zhao, he was not an unknown person, on the contrary, he could serve as an envoy of the Wei State, and his position in the Wei State was unlikely to be an insignificant petty official.
