Chapter Seventy-One: Wei Bao Surrenders

With the gradual calming down of the situation in Minzhong County, for Zhang Jiashi, when to solve the Qi State and the Chu State should also be put on the agenda. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the arrival of the Chinese New Year in 202 BC, the county commanders of Zhao, Yan, Sanchuan, Yingchuan, Liaoning, the Korean Peninsula, Hengshan, Nan, and Minzhong, which had begun to gradually establish a system of rule, received orders from Zhang Jiashi to prepare for their respective expeditions in April.

Among them, the Korean Peninsula region has become the main troop mobilization area for Li Shu to transport landing operations with Lou Chuanshi's troops, and its destination is Qi State.

Liaoning County and Yan County have become logistics bases in the northern region.

The main mobilization of troops for the battle against the Qi State came from Zhao County and Sanchuan County, and the conquest of the Chu State was from the remaining counties.

In this decisive battle, Zhang Jiashi naturally did not just mobilize local military troops to launch an offensive against Qi and Chu.

A week after the order was issued, Han Xin, Peng Yue, the Yingbu Division stationed in Nanyue County, the main force of the Central Army under Zhang Jiashi, and the Taiyuan Corps led by Wang Li were all transferred to the front.

Before leaving, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that this battle would determine whether the Great Qin Empire could unify the world in a short period of time, and then concentrate on attacking the Huns or the focus of defense.

To be honest, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that this battle was indeed important for the entire Great Qin Empire, but for Zhang Jiashi, he did not expect to launch a decisive battle against the Qi State and the Chu State when a complete management system had not been established in many places.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi did not forget that there is another country, that is, Wei Bao, who retreated to Dangjun to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

For Wei Bao, Zhang Jiashi hoped that the other party could be resolved peacefully, rather than meet the other side in arms.

This is not to say that Zhang Jiashi is afraid of Wei Bao, but he does not want to make Dangjun a ruin because of the offensive against Wei Bao.

This place can also be said to be under the governance of Wei Bao, and it can be regarded as a pure land between troubled times, but this does not mean that Zhang Jiashi will open up to Wei Bao.

If Wei Bao can give up resistance, Zhang Jiashi will naturally not be stingy with money and let him be a rich man.

As for who to be a lobbyist, Zhang Jiashi remembered two candidates.

These two people are both newly submissive to him, and one is also Fan Xu, who is now Zhang Jiashi's brother-in-law.

For Fan Xu, Zhang Jiashi still has a good impression of this loyal man.

Although the experience between the two parties in Peixian and the fact that they were enemies of life and death, Zhang Jiashi knew that this showed the quality of Fan Xu.

After Liu Bang died on the edge of the Wujiang River, Zhang Jiashi sent Lu Pheasant to a place where Fan Xu's family was under house arrest.

Although it was under house arrest, Zhang Jiashi did not treat Zhang Fan's family harshly, but treated Fan's family with courtesy.

However, Fan Xu was not grateful for Zhang Jiashi's arrangement.

And Zhang Jiashi was not angry because of this, but continued to deal with Fan Xu like this.

After knowing that Liu Bang, Lu Juan and others had all died, Fan Hao cried a lot, but at this time, Fan Hao did not scold Zhang Jiashi, but after crying bitterly, he asked Lu Pheasant a question:

"Isn't there a place for Liu Laosan to let his sister-in-law take a souvenir?"

After Lu Pheasant was silent for a while, he said: "This, of course, I can't be so ruthless, but I have to deny that Liu Ji is ...... Compared to the regent, it is indeed a far cry. The other party was able to save Lu Yuan, who had never met before, but Liu Ji was able to do this?"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's reply, Fan Xu was silent for a long time before he said to Lu Pheasant: "Sister-in-law, I know, some things have happened, and they can't be changed. Let me think about it for a while. ”

But Fan Xu's thinking time was also too long. It was only a whole year after Liu Bang's death that he found Zhang Jiashi and explained that he wanted to join the army.

Zhang Jiashi, out of many considerations, only arranged for Fan Xu to serve as a chief under Yu Yong for the time being.

Fan Xu is not dissatisfied with Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, because Fan Xu can be said to understand Zhang Jiashi's mind very well for this arrangement. He didn't hope that Zhang Jiashi would be able to give him a high-ranking official at once.

During this period of time, Fan Xu was promoted to the head of the tun, which was not fast or slow for Fan Xu.

As for the other person who served Zhang Jiashi, it was Zhang Liang.

In such a year, after feeling Zhang Jiashi's governance of the Great Qin Empire, and after visiting the hermitage of Shangshan Sihao, Zhang Liang simply joined Zhang Jiashi.

As for Zhang Liang, who assassinated the First Emperor in Bolangsha, Zhang Jiashi didn't feel very good about him at first. Because in many ways, Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, who has been "rejuvenating the Han Dynasty for 400 years", is just a terrorist.

Zhang Jiashi, who came from later generations, really couldn't have much sense of identity with Zhang Liang in terms of opinion.

But for many reasons, Zhang Jiashi finally gave up this view.

After all, for Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Liang is indeed a very capable person, whether it is Chen Ping, Sun Poyi or Li Zuoche, the three major strategists under Zhang Jiashi, they are not stingy with praise for Zhang Liang.

And Chen Ping even said a sentence directly to Zhang Jiashi, that is: "If it weren't for Chen Mou who met the king first, I'm afraid Chen Mou would be willing to give up the position of mastermind." ”

I have to say that the ability shown by Zhang Liang now is no longer comparable to that of the reckless man back then.

And after Zhang Jiashi got Zhang Liang's service, he didn't expect that the first suggestion Zhang Liang gave him was to hire Shangshan Sihao as the emperor's son Yingxun as the emperor's teacher.

Zhang Jiashi didn't think about Zhang Liang's suggestion, but at that time, he didn't think that Ying Xun needed to receive that kind of systematic education right now.

But now that Zhang Liang put forward this opinion, Zhang Jiashi nodded slightly after thinking about it: "Then let Mr. Zifang complete this task." ”

Zhang Liang didn't expect Zhang Jiashi to kick the ball back to him directly, and after nodding with a bitter face, what he saw was a snickering expression from Chen Ping.

And Zhang Liang simply pointed at a few of them and stretched out a middle finger.

......

In such a situation, Zhang Jiashi thought about it, and finally let Zhang Liang serve as this lobbyist.

After all, in many ways, Zhang Jiashi really didn't think that the honest Fan Hao could do this kind of thing well.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

On April 1, 202 BC, in Wei Bao's Wei Palace, Wei Bao and the ministers of Wei watched Zhang Liang enter the hall calmly, and his expression was very complicated.

They can also say that they know everything about Zhang Liang's name, but what they didn't expect was that Zhang Liang would actually surrender to the Great Qin Empire.

Because in their hearts, Zhang Liang is the most hardcore anti-Qin righteous man, and now ......

Zhang Liang, who became a lobbyist of the Great Qin Empire, naturally came to this place for the sake of the Great Qin Empire.

Wei Bao looked at Zhang Liang, he had always been very envious of Han Cheng and Liu Bang for having such capable people to help, and after he lost his cousin, he had already lost the qualification to dominate the world, and he was about to be wiped out by more powerful princes.

This is also the reality that Wei Bao has to accept since he is helpless.

He knew very well what Zhang Liang was doing this time, because he also knew that his strength was not worth Zhang Jiashi's too much strength to deal with him.

In this case, a peaceful solution is what Zhang Jiashi wants to see.

Although Wei Bao knew such a situation, there were some things that could not be said too directly.

Wei Bao is also very clear about this.

So, after Zhang Liang gave him a salute, Wei Bao asked Zhang Liang a nonsense: "I don't know what is the important matter of Mr. Zhang Zifang's arrival this time?"

"The ovary tasted that the king of Wei is a person for the people, and the contemptible lord also loves the people like a son, since it is the same, both sides are for the sake of the people of the world, so why doesn't the king of Wei serve the contemptible lord and seek the well-being of the people?"

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, many Wei Wenwu couldn't help but curse in their hearts, because they knew very well that once Wei Bao really surrendered, they would lose almost all of their positions.

But they also know very well that Wei Bao, who can be regarded as disarming the armed forces of Dangjun in a sense, has long lost the confidence to continue to persevere.

However, neither the State of Chu nor the Great Qin Empire under Zhang Jiashi sent anyone to contact him, so that Wei Bao could only continue to maintain the status quo with Dangjun.

This point made these civil and military ministers of the Wei State very clear, that is, the Great Qin Empire sent people to contact them this time, and it was more just an ultimatum to them.

In fact, even if they wanted to rely on the strength of the current Wei State to resist Great Qin, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Wei Bao can also see this, so he will take this approach.

And Wei Bao is not an idiot, he knows very well that Zhang Jiashi wants to appease him, so he naturally has to give him a little price. After all, many people who eat too ugly will despise him,

"I don't know...... What price can the regent pay Lonely?"

Wei Bao didn't need to scruple too much, he directly asked Zhang Liang this question.

Zhang Liang uttered a passage: "The contemptible lord assures you that if the king of Wei can surrender and let the Wei troops everywhere give up resistance, then the king will make the king of Wei a rich landlord in Xianyang County." And the contemptible lord is not to blame for what King Wei did before. I wonder what King Wei thinks of this condition?"

To be honest, Zhang Liangdu felt that Zhang Jiashi's condition was a bit unkind, but he also knew that the current Wei Bao had no room to bargain with the Great Qin Empire.

This is where Zhang Liang's confidence lies.

And Wei Bao was actually a little embarrassed by Zhang Liang's words, after all, his Dangjun only had such a little value, how could he accept it?

So after taking a deep breath, Wei Bao said to Zhang Liang: "Isn't this condition of the regent too indifferent to loneliness? ”

"Since this is the case, the ovary will first go back to Xianyang to report to the contemptible lord and wish the king of Wei good health. ”

Zhang Liang didn't talk any more nonsense, but planned to leave directly.

But after hearing this, the monarchs and ministers of Wei were so frightened that their faces were colorless. Because he knows very well what will happen to Zhang Liang once he goes back to Xianyang.

When the time comes, the army of the Great Qin Empire will be overwhelmed, and even if they want to be a rich man, they may not be able to do it.

Wei Bao directly stopped Zhang Liang and said kindly: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, Gu still needs to think about it for two days, and I hope that Mr. Zhang can let Gu do his best as a landlord." ”

Hearing Wei Bao's words, Zhang Liang turned around slightly, and then bowed slightly to Wei Bao: "Since this is the case, the ovary will bother King Wei." ”

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

On April 6, 202 BC, Wei Bao, who had been thinking for a while, finally had to choose to surrender unconditionally to the Great Qin Empire.

After receiving Zhang Liang's letter, Su Teng, the county guard of Sanchuan County, sent an army led by Zang Di, the county governor, to gradually take over the land of Wei in Dangjun.

Wei Bao's evaluation in history is not really useless.

Sima Qian: "Although Wei Bao and Peng Yue are cheap, they have swept thousands of miles, and they are called lonely in the south, and they are heard of on the day of victory. With the intention of rebellion, and defeat, he was imprisoned without death, and he was tortured and killed, what is it? Zhongcai has been on the top and ashamed of his deeds, and the king is the king! He has no strange reason, his wisdom is unique, and he has no body and ears. Get the handle of the size, its cloud steaming dragon changes, want to know its degree, so the prisoner does not give up the clouds. ”

Bangu: "The Zhou room was bad, and by the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes were exhausted, and the descendants of Yan, Huang, Tang, and Yu still had quite a few survivors. Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, and the ancient relics were swept away. On the occasion of Chu and Han, the king of Haoji, only Wei Bao, Han Xin, and Tian Dan brothers were the old country, but they were all extinct. ”

Sima Zhen: "Brother Wei, the king of time." The leopard queen belonged to Chu, and her country perished. ”

These historical experts say that Wei Bao is more disdainful of the other party's wall-to-wall behavior.

But in a sense, even if Wei Bao did this, it was understandable in the troubled times.

After all, at that time, Wei Bao and his brother Wei Qi were more of a small prince, and if the other party wanted to survive, they could only struggle to survive between the strength of the big princes.

In terms of Wei Bao's life, there are many things that can be seen:

After the death of Qin, when Chu and Han were vying for power, because Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, broke Liu Bang's army in Pengcheng, Henan, Wei Bao misjudged the situation, thinking that Chu would win and Han would lose. At this time, Wei Bao's mother-in-law, Wei Yuan, asked Xu Cheng to go to the Wei Palace's mansion to tell the fortune and meet Wei Bao's wife, Bo Ji. Xu Cheng said that Bo Ji is very expensive, and she will definitely be able to give birth to a child in the future. Since the child is the son of heaven, the father is of course the entrepreneurial dragon. In order to "start a business", Wei Bao decided to rebel against the Han. He didn't just say to the Han envoy Li Shiqi: "Life is like a white horse passing through a gap." Today, the king of the Han Dynasty insulted people and scolded the princes and ministers like slaves, and I can't bear to see them again. He also sent an envoy to contact Xiang Yu, invited the Chu general Xiang It, and together with his generals Bai Zhi and Feng Jingtong, the army repaired the city, and the city was stationed in Tun Gucheng (now Gucheng Village, Kaizhang Town, Yongji City), and was in Jinguan (now Dalidong, Shaanxi), and he himself stuck to the capital of Anyi, and the governor was the governor to prevent Han military affairs.

The combination of Chu and Wei is very unfavorable to Han. In order to eliminate the threat under the elbow and concentrate on Chu, in the autumn of the second year of the Han Dynasty (205 BC), Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, appointed Han Xin, Cao Shen, and Guan Ying as the main and deputy generals, commanding an army of 100,000,[8] Mu Poppy as a boat, smuggling into Xiayang, and besieging the city of Anyi with lightning speed. In the case that the general trend has gone, Wei Bao surrendered the city to the Han Dynasty, and his family was captured.

On the one hand, Han Gaozu loved and pitied Wei Bao's bravery, and on the other hand, in order not to lose the heart of the Wei people, he did not kill Wei Bao, and ordered Zhou Cao, the same imperial historian, to guard Xingyang. In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (203 BC), the Chu army besieged Xingyang, and Zhou Cao killed the leopard with the excuse of "the minister who rebels against the country, it is difficult to defend with him".

From the above content, it can be seen that Wei Bao also has his own ambitions, especially the things that allow negative appearances, which are more of an ambitious description.

However, Wei Bao is the kind of person who has no corresponding talent even if he is ambitious, which is the so-called ambitious and talented person.

It may be a bit too much to say this, but one thing that even Wei Bao himself can't deny is that Liu Bang is unwilling to kill him, not because Liu Bang feels guilty about him, but for the sake of Wei people's hearts.

But Zhou Ke finally became the butcher of the knife, making Wei Bao a ghost under the knife.

In this world, Zhang Jiashi's birth out of thin air changed the history of Wei Bao, and more importantly, Wei Bao did not have the result of dying unexpectedly.

Faced with this situation, both Zhang Jiashi and Wei Bao have already accepted it.

Especially Wei Bao is willing to surrender according to Zhang Jiashi's conditions, and he naturally can't be said to be a man of his word.

Therefore, after Zang Di took over Dangjun, Zhang Jiashi asked Wei Bao and others to build a group of houses for them to live in in the east of Xianyang New Town, as the land planned for the wealthy area.

In terms of monetary compensation, Zhang Jiashi was willing to let Wei Bao keep 30% of his treasury money.

This condition can also be regarded as Zhang Jiashi's special kindness. If he encounters some ruthless monarchs, it is estimated that Wei Bao will not be able to get even such a little money.

And Wei Bao was a little surprised by such an arrangement, because if nothing else, Zhang Jiashi estimated that he would not give him any money.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

May 1, 202 BC, this day became the beginning of one of the most famous military operations in the history of the Great Qin Empire, the "War of Pacification in Troubled Times".

This war is not the battle with the largest number of troops mobilized in the history of the Great Qin Empire, even if the Qin army in the Battle of Changping mobilized more people than this battle, but it cannot be denied that this battle is destined to become a war that will be famous in history.

From the Korean garrison that gradually boarded the ships, to the main force of the Qin army that began to attack Qi in Dangjun, this battle of pacification in troubled times finally kicked off......
