After the Qin army launched a full-scale offensive against the state of Qi, Tian Rong and Tian Heng, who had replaced his nephew Tian Cong as king of Western Qi and king of Eastern Qi respectively two months earlier, were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the troops that carried out the military operations against the Qi country were the Lou Chuanshi troops from the Korean region and Liaodong County and the 30,000 infantry, including Du Cong.

The troops under the command of Chung Du carried out a landing operation in the area of Liugong Island in Weihaiwei, which was later established.

The small number of defenders of Qi stationed in this area were not at all the opponents of the Marines under Du Cong's command, and after closing the city gate for less than half a day, although the Qin Marine Corps lacked siege weapons, this small city could not rely on the low city walls and less than 500 defenders, and the city was declared lost for too long.

In the following days, the Lou Chuanshi Marine Corps under the command of Du Cong captured three nearby Qi army cities one after another, and quickly opened up a large logistics landing base before Tian Heng, who was located in the Jimo area as the capital of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, reacted.

Zhang Jiashi's arrangement was naturally not to let these officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps go to death, but he knew that if he wanted to quickly solve the Qi State, he could not let Tian Heng and the Tian Rong brothers unite.

Tian Rong's division, located in the west, was certainly the first to bear the brunt, facing more Qin troops from multiple defensive attacks.

But it doesn't mean that Zhang Jiashi can tolerate Tian Heng being able to reinforce Tian Rong wantonly, which will cause him a lot of trouble.

In such a situation, Zhang Jiashi had a clear determination of the offensive of Du Cong and others, that is, to let these forces contain Tian Heng and make it impossible for him to reinforce Tian Rong.

On May 22, 202 B.C., Tian Heng led an urgently assembled group of 60,000 soldiers and horses to the north of the captured area.

But one thing that Tian Heng did not expect was that this landing operation was just the beginning.

The troops mobilized by Zhang Jiashi from Korea and Liaodong were far more than 40,000 troops, but 60,000 troops.

The goal of the second group of landing troops was not to reinforce Du Chung and then launch an attack on more areas of the Qi country, but to directly follow the Lou Chuanshi troops to launch an offensive against Jimo directly after the news came.

After about ten days, Tian Heng received an unbelievable news. That is, Jimo, which made him the national capital, was captured.

He was stunned for a long time before he roared, "This can't be."

In a sense, for Tian Heng or for many Qi soldiers and civilians in the Jimo region, this thing is indeed impossible. But they ignore one point, that is, Zhang Jiashi can do this kind of thing, which is the proof that everything is possible.

Dividing line

Jimo. It is a city with a long history.

In the world where Zhang Jiashi was originally located, "Jimo" was named after the fact that the old city was located in the area of Guyan Town, Pingdu City, near the ink river. Its name first appeared in historical classics such as the Warring States Policy, Chinese, and Shiji. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was the famous trade Qu of Qi State, the Qin Dynasty placed the county, and the early Han Dynasty became the political, economic and cultural center of Jiaodong, and the Sui Dynasty built the city at the current site, which has a history of more than 1,400 years. In 1898, Germany forcibly leased Jiaozhou Bay and separated Qingdao from Jimo.

And in this point, it proves that Jimo is a large region in Qi and not just a county.

decades ago in this place. Tian Dan once used Jimo as a base to resist Le Yi's offensive against Qi State, and even used the Fire Ox Array to break the cavalry robbery of the Yan State general, and recovered more than 70 cities in Qi State in half a year, so that Qi State could be recovered, and Tian Dan was one of the first heroes of Tian Fazhang to be established as King Qi Xiang. If there is no Tian Dan's containment of the main force of the Yan State, I am afraid that it will be in the remnants of the Qi army in Ju County. I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist the attack of the Yan army for a long time and the city will be broken.

Tian Dan tiándān birth and death year unknown, concubine surname, Tian family, list, Linzi people, distant relatives of the Tian Qi clan during the Warring States period. Ren Qi is a petty official in the city of Linzi to manage the market. When the Qi State was in danger, Tian Dan adhered to Jimo, defeated the Yan army with the fire ox array, recovered more than 70 cities, and was appointed as the prime minister for his merits, and was awarded the title of Anping Jun. Later, he came to Zhao as a general and was buried in Anping City after his death.

And after Tian Dan's death. Jimo became a large port in the Qi Kingdom. In the course of these decades, the scale of Jimo has also grown.

Therefore, in such a situation, Zhang Jiashi had to arrange Zifu and Wenle to lead 10,000 troops respectively to launch an offensive against Jimo.

However, Zhang Jiashi overestimated Tian Heng's ability, and in such a situation, Tian Heng, who was careless and underestimated the enemy, actually did not leave enough defensive troops to defend his capital, and as a result, after the Lou Chuanshi troops broke through the sailor troops of the Qi State, a large number of Qin troops landed in the port area, as if they were in a no-man's land, and easily occupied this very important city for Tian Heng.

Because a large number of the members of the troops under his command were militia units urgently mobilized from the Jimo area, less than two days after this news was blocked, because of the careful operation of the Qin army, the news that Jimo had been broken by the Qin army was circulated in the camp.

The loss of the Jimo region is not the first time.

In the war of the Qin State sweeping the Six Kingdoms, Jimo was captured by Meng Tian's troops from Chu.

Therefore, for Tian Heng, the loss of Jimo is, in many senses, Tian Heng's own fault.

If Zhang Jiashi knew about such a situation, he would not have mobilized so many troops to sneak attack Jimo, but let Zifu or Wenle lead one of the two to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jimo.

Of course, since the troops have been transferred, Zhang Jiashi should have made a bloody investment in order to attack the Eastern Qi State.

Ten days after the loss of Jimo, Tian Heng, who came to the Weihaiwei area to confront Du Cong and Meng Xing, could not stop the more and more deserters from appearing in his camp.

He knew very well that if these soldiers fled too much, it would be a fatal blow to him.

No commander likes deserters from his troops, and they treat these bastards very strictly.

And Tian Heng was no exception, and he sent his painstakingly managed knightly troops to pursue these deserters.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as these knights left the barracks, there were also people who fled.

And because Tian Heng's treatment of these deserters was of a joint nature, before he sent these knights, he treated some deserters to the captains or even the chiefs, as well as the same soldiers or the same soldiers. All of them have adopted the practice of showing off their heads.

This kind of punishment of sitting in a row will be done for a long time in the Qin army.

And what is the meaning of continuous sitting and what is the origin of continuous sitting

Joint sitting refers to the ancient Chinese system of joint punishment of people who have a certain relationship with the offender for committing a crime committed by others. It is also known as sitting, sitting, sitting, and sitting.

The first time was that Wei Ying, that is, Shang Ying, changed the law in the Qin State, and in order to consolidate the monarch's rule, the law of joint sitting was promulgated. This is done on the basis of the establishment of the household register. The Legalists of the Wei Ying faction believed that it was necessary to make the monarchy "supreme rule". It is necessary to make "husband and wife friends not abandon evil and cover up wrong, but not harm relatives." The people cannot hide from each other." That is to say, the closest husbands and wives and friends should not cover up each other, but should report and expose them to the government, so that no "evil" or "wrong" can be hidden. Only in this way, "those who are difficult to hide, although they are not evil", Shang Jun's book is banned. The purpose of the joint sitting law is to make the people reassure each other and monitor each other. Expose each other, one person is guilty, five people sit together, even the plantar has no way to do evil. Qin Lu mentions the organization of "Wu" many times, for example: "What is the four neighbors, the four neighbors, that is, the Wu people are called the dead." "All those below the doctor's level, "when the army and people", should be included in the "army" household registration. One person commits a crime, and "when he sits in the army" Qin Law answers.

This method of joint sitting was practiced not only among the inhabitants of the village, but also among the army. Shang Junshu said that "the rule between the lines is connected with five" to draw a strategy; he also said that "in its battle, five people come to be used as a "bundle" book, and one person is regarded as "escape" and lightly regarded as "killing" four of them, which shows that in battle. Five people are organized into a team and registered on the roster, and if one person flees, the other four will be punished, and this is the practice of joint sitting in the army.

However, in such a situation, there is certainly a precedent for the treatment of these deserters in a joint manner. However, under the premise that Zhang Jiashi abolished this punishment, Tian Heng's adoption of this practice in this environment is more counterproductive.

More and more people were chilled because they saw Tian Heng's joint disposal, since they were worried about their families, they were also worried about their own lives.

After another day or two, Tian Heng's troops even fled en masse.

This made Tian Heng have to do a kind of thing to shoot himself in the foot again.

However, after Tian Heng learned about this kind of thing, he still punished his subordinates for joint sitting, which made the situation of officers and soldiers fleeing more and more serious.

In the end, there was even a day when more than 300 people fled.

It can be said that except for a very small number of troops or some officers and soldiers, Tian Heng's influence on this army has become uncontrollable because of his tyrannical way of dealing with it.

If Zhang Jiashi knew about this situation, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Sure enough, he still doesn't hide the so-called heroic momentum"

Zhang Jiashi is definitely not praising Tian Heng, of course he knows that Tian Heng is not easy to deal with, but he also knows one thing, that is, Tian Heng's personality is far inferior to his brother.

Zhang Jiashi knows an allusion, that is:

Liu Bang eliminated Xiang Yu and set himself up as emperor and named Peng Yue as the king of Liang. Fearing to be killed, Tian Heng led more than 500 of his men into the sea and lived on a small island on Tianheng Island in Jimo, Shandong Province. After Liu Bang heard the news, he thought that the Tian Heng brothers had already pacified the Qi State, and most of the wise men of the Qi State were dependent on him, and if he was to be left in the sea without being taken care of, he might inevitably suffer in the future. Therefore, he sent an envoy to pardon Tian Heng's sin and summon him to the court, but Tian Heng thanked him and said: "I once cooked and killed His Majesty's envoy Li Shiqi, and now I have heard that Li Shiqi's younger brother Li Shang is a very talented general of the Han Dynasty, so I am very afraid and dare not enter Beijing by edict, and ask you to allow me to be a common man and stay on this island." The envoy came back to report, and Liu Bang immediately issued an edict to the guard Li Shang and said: "Tian Heng, the king of Qi, is about to go to Beijing, and whoever dares to touch his entourage will immediately be beheaded all over the house" and then sent a messenger with a talisman to instruct Li Shang on the situation of Li Shang, and said: "If Tian Heng comes to Beijing, he can be crowned king at most." The youngest can also be made a marquis, and if they do not come, they will send an army to destroy them. Tian Heng then took the carriage of the post station with his two disciples to Luoyang.

From this allusion, it can be seen that Tian Heng is also valued by Liu Bang in a sense, but more, many things are messed up by himself.

Especially the subsequent self-slaughter, it shows that Tian Heng is also a somewhat suspicious person.

In the case of the increasing flight of officers and soldiers under Tian Heng, Du Cong, who was the commander of the Qin army in the Weihaiwei area. For a while, he was not in a hurry to launch an attack on Tian Heng.

He was well aware that in this place he was delaying the main forces of Tian Heng. It can also be regarded as the most advantageous support for friendly forces on other fronts.

If Tian Heng is really beaten away or Tian Heng is defeated, this situation will change and Chung himself will not want to see.

Of course, he was also silently calculating when it would be a good opportunity to attack the Qi army.

There were a large number of escapes in the Qi army, of course he knew very well about such a thing, but at this time, Du Cong thought that it was not the best time to launch an offensive against Tian Heng.

Because Tian Heng still has about 40,000 or 50,000 troops under his command, the more than 30,000 people under his command do not pay a certain number of casualties. It is estimated that it will be difficult to keep Tian Heng.

And Chung To didn't want to attack Tian Heng so quickly, the most important thing was that he had a doubt in his heart.

That is, whether Zhang Jiashi will do something like "all the birds, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook".

"The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, and the cunning rabbit is dead. The sentence "lackey cooking" comes from the family of Goujian, the king of Yue: after the Yue Kingdom destroyed the Wu Kingdom, Dr. Fan Li said to the doctor, let's go, our task has been completed, the king of Yue Goujian This person can share hardships but not wealth, you have to remember. The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. This is where the rabbit dies and the dog cooks and the bird hides the bow.

The reason why Chung To has such an idea is more because the relationship between Chung To and Qin Min is also good.

Although Qin Min had done a lot of things wrong, he had also secretly admonished the other party a lot. But the other party still didn't listen, and ended up with a disguised weakening of the control of the Lou Boatman's troops. Even the fact that he was secretly under house arrest, he was very embarrassed.

But in any case, as a person he also respects, Qin Min is also a very talented person in Du Cong's heart.

And Zhang Jiashi did this, he really can't refute anything, and he doesn't think that Zhang Jiashi did wrong.

But the sad feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox still arose spontaneously in his heart.

If Zhang Jiashi knew Du Cong's idea, he would shake his head helplessly: "My Du Duwei, are you thinking too much?"

However, a few days later, the arrival of a person dispelled Chung To's concerns.

This person is Zhang Liang, who was transferred by Zhang Jiashi to Du Cong's military division.

Zhang Jiashi transferred Zhang Liang to Du Cong's military advisor, not because he didn't trust the ability of Du Cong and others, but because Zhang Jiashi knew very well that this war to destroy Qi again should be resolved quickly.

Therefore, after following the advice of Li Zuoche and others, he transferred Zhang Liang to be Du Cong's military advisor and brought a letter of appointment.

Zhang Jiashi was leading the army to confront Tian Rong's troops on the front line of Jishui at this time, and after the Heshuilou boat soldiers cleared the river and the Qi State Naval Division on the front line of Jishui, Zhang Liang went to sea directly in Jishui, and then arrived at Du Cong's camp.

After meeting the middle-aged uncle who was impressed by Zhang Jiashi in rumors, the young man Chung Du still politely called Zhang Liang Mr. Zifang.

And Zhang Liang looked at Du Cong and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Are you worried about one thing, General Du." ”

"Hmm" Du Cong heard Zhang Liang's words, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Liang suspiciously, because there were two things that made him puzzled by this sentence.

The first is that Du Chung is still just a lieutenant, and Zhang Liang's title should be wrong.

The second is Zhang Liang's accurate guess of Du Cong's thoughts, which makes Du Cong secretly frightened.

And then Zhang Liang took out the appointment letter signed by Zhang Jiashi and the ribbon to Du Cong, who knelt directly to the west and said loudly: "The king's trust in the minister, the minister should repay with his own life."

Zhang Liang heard Du Cong's words, and shook his head slightly in his heart: "The human heart is really interesting. And the king's approach is indeed to gather the thoughts of a doubtful subordinate. ”

And the sentence that Zhang Liang didn't say was that in contrast to Du Cong's situation, there was also a person who was worshiped as a general by Zhang Jiashi

If he didn't know how to converge, then Zhang Jiashi would not have taken care of his previous friendship and opened up.

He came to Zhang Jiashi's command for a period of time, and he was a little surprised that Zhang Jiashi's management of his subordinates was lax. Because Zhang Jiashi did not prohibit his subordinates from doing business under the premise of complying with the law.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jiashi's military affairs are not too high, but many officials or personnel serving in the army will not be in a hurry.

Of course, he can see one point, that is, Zhang Jiashi's approach, since he hopes to be able to, he also hopes to take the lead in making a model of heavy business.

Zhang Jiashi said something that he had to agree with is very reasonable, that is:

"If a businessman can make a decent living, why should he impose unnecessary restrictions on the movement of goods, which can affect a country's income. "To be continued. Your support is my biggest motivation.
