Chapter 15: Li Liang descends to Qin
Since Li Liang entered Handan, he did not completely control the situation in Handan, although many officials and wealthy people in the city promised to support him and rejuvenate the Zhao state, but their yang and yin still angered Li Liang.
At this time, the hustle and bustle in Handan City was abnormal, and hundreds of people were tied up by the five flowers, kneeling in the center of the city, and the sound of grievances resounded all over the four fields.
These people are all wealthy families in Handan City, and Li Liang not only confiscated their family property because of their disobedience, but also beheaded them all, causing a lot of wind in Handan City.
It is not enough to confiscate money and property, Li Liang issued another order at the same time as giving the order to behead, everyone over the age of thirteen and under the age of forty must be confiscated into the army.
At this time, Li Liang's soldiers and horses in Handan had grown to more than 50,000 people, although occasionally soldiers fled the barracks, but Li Liang used coercive means to suppress the defection of these recruits.
In the past few days, the news of Zhao Xie being the king has come one after another, Li Liang at this time, he was extremely angry, the military minister was dead, and Zhao Di was like scattered sand, but they supported Zhao Xie to be the king at this time, which was a blatant declaration of war on himself, which made Li Liang unable to accept it, and could not tolerate Zhang Er and Chen Yu to continue to stay in Zhao Di.
At this time, Li Liang inspected the city as usual, and he was very worried that Zhang Er, Chen Yu and others would take advantage of their unstable foundation to attack Handan.
But two months have passed since he occupied Handan, and the war did not come out according to Li Liang's expectations, but inspecting the city defense has become Li Liang's personal habit, in order to prevent someone in the city from having an affair with Zhang Er and others, or if there are deserters escaping from the city, he has to be cautious.
On the castle tower, there will be a soldier standing guard every three steps, and every hundred steps, there will be a group of soldiers patrolling, the defense is extremely tight, and basic materials such as rolling wood and thunder stones are also piled up at the head of the city.
At this time, the two followed Li Liang closely, inspecting every inch of land in the city, Li Liang was very satisfied with the city defense, he checked every place, he would praise a few words more or less, just like that, everyone checked while walking forward, a scout galloped from the south wall, and when he came closer, he shouted loudly: "Report the ......"
Soon, he came to Li Liang, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "General, Xindu has been recruiting troops on a large scale recently, and there is a big move to go south to Handan. ”
Li Liang nodded and ordered: "Continue to spy on Xindu, and report if there is any news." ”
The scout sang a promise, turned around and left, looking at the back of the scout gradually moving away, Li Liang couldn't help but sigh lightly, his eyes full of reproach fell on Liangju, and sighed: "It seems that the war is about to start." ”
At this time, Liangju was also a little helpless, he persuaded Li Liang more than once, he could beg to surrender to the Qin army, Handan was worry-free, and the promise of Qin King Hu Hai could also be fulfilled, but Li Liang was always hesitant, he thought more about the self-reliance of King Zhao, who could dominate one side.
Moreover, if he takes refuge in the Qin State, he can only become a guard general at most, but once he controls the Zhao State, he will be the overlord of the King's Landing, King Zhao, which is more important, of course Li Liang knows in his conscience.
But now, there are more and more voices opposing him, and the ambition in Li Liang's heart is gradually reined, he also has to face the reality and has to consider defecting to the Qin State, but at the moment, when he is not at the end of the mountain, he still wants to make a last fight, if he loses to Zhao Xie, he will really surrender to the Qin army.
At this time, after thinking for a while, Liangju stepped forward and arched his hand: "General, although Zhang Er Chen Yu has newly established Zhao Xie as the king and his strength is unstable, but Zhao Xie is the late Zhao royal family after all, and the people of Zhao are deeply rooted and it is extremely difficult to shake, so we might as well avoid its edge and wait for the opportunity." ”
"Avoiding it?" Li Liang was slightly displeased, it was Liangju who persuaded him to join the Qin State at the beginning, and it was Liangju who forced himself to commit the murder of the master, or Liangju, and now Liangju actually dared to persuade himself to avoid his edge and give up Handan, the anger in Li Liang's heart broke out irrepressibly, he looked at Liangju coldly, and hated: "How do you want Ben to avoid his edge?" ”
Liangju had already felt the faint killing intent in Li Liang's heart at this moment, he couldn't help but take a step back, and just wanted to open his mouth to justify, Li Liang had already waved his hand angrily, interrupted Liangju, and said hatefully: "I have decided, take advantage of its unpreparedness, surprise attack Xindu, victory or defeat in this move, if there is a person who retreats, behead!" ”
Li Liang's words were said to Liangju, at this time Liangju didn't dare to have more than half a sentence, so he had to sing a promise with Boyi, at this time, Li Liang ordered: "Instead of sitting still, it is better to fight hard, immediately gather soldiers and horses, and swear to go north!" ”
。。。。。。
As soon as the soldiers and horses were mobilized in Handan City, it alarmed Xindu, and at this time, the county government that was supposed to discuss state affairs gathered more than 20 people, all of whom came in a hurry after receiving the order of King Zhao.
Li Liang gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses and swore to go north, but his sudden northward movement exceeded everyone's expectations, and a sudden war was about to break out.
At this time, Zhao Xie was pacing back and forth anxiously, he was a little worried, worried that Li Liang's army was strong, and Zhao Jun was not his opponent, but Chen Yu was full of confidence, although Zhao Jun was also recently recruited, the number was only about 37,000 people, but these soldiers and horses were all admired, and they supported Zhao Xie, so the division was straight for the old man, and Zhao Jun might not lose to Li Liangjun.
Thinking like this, Chen Yu walked out and arched his hand in front of Zhao Xie and said: "King, Li Liang is a chaotic minister and thief, there is nothing to be afraid of, just one battle, I will definitely be able to drive Li Liang out of Handan and welcome the king into the city." ”
Chen Yu's words were extremely confident, but Zhao Xie was skeptical, at this moment, Shen Yang also walked out, arched his hand and said: "The king, since ancient times, the name is justified and invincible, at this moment, as long as the king personally supervises the army, the soldiers serve and sweep Li Liang, it is not a problem." ”
Zhang Er, Li Zuoche, Zhang Wei and others also persuaded Zhao Xie one after another, and after a short thought, Zhao Xie finally made up his mind, looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Order Chen Yu to be the general, Zhang Er to supervise the army, Li Zuoche to be the deputy general, send troops to rebel, and this king personally supervises the battle." ”
Seeing that Zhao Xie had finally made up his mind, everyone was overjoyed, sang a promise, and left one after another.
。。。。。。
In the early morning, more than a hundred miles south of Xindu, here is an endless plain, where two armies lined up, and the drums beat loudly.
Accompanied by the sound of war drums and the occasional low sound of horns, the two armies marched forward for more than a hundred steps, at this time, a huge shield lined up at the front of the team, and a spear poked out from the gap between the giant shields, which was the rhythm of the upcoming battle.
Soon, Li Liangjun's door flag opened, Li Liang led the generals to drive the horses out, and the generals swung out in a line behind Li Liang, at this time, Li Liang rode the horse forward more than 100 steps again, until he could clearly see the flag on the opposite side, Li Liang stopped the horse, and shouted loudly: "Please General Zhang Er answer." ”
Li Liang shouted three times in a row, the giant shield on the opposite side moved forward, Zhao Xie led the generals out of the horse, looking at Li Liang in the middle of the battlefield, Zhang Er smiled slightly mockingly, at this time, Zhang Er rode out of the horse, came to Li Liang not far from the place and stopped, looked at Li Liang, Zhang Er arched his hand and smiled: "General Li, I don't know what you are looking for me, what is the matter?" ”
Zhang Er's lukewarm attitude made Li Liang a little surprised, but the surprise was only for a moment, and he immediately smiled back: "Zhang Er, you should know, what is orthodoxy, what is a strong teacher, why should you be so persistent, it is better to surrender to me, I will share Zhao Land with you, wouldn't it be happy?" ”
Li Liang's words were not approved by Zhang Er, at this time Zhang Er had raised his head and laughed, as if, Li Liang's words were the funniest joke in the world, after Zhang Er laughed for a while, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he pointed at Li Liang angrily: "The backer dog thief, do you dare to instigate me?" ”
Without waiting for Li Liang to speak again, Zhang Er had already reined in his horse and returned, came to the position of the Zhao army, drew his long sword, pointed directly at Li Liangjun, and shouted: "Li Liang betrayed the lord to seek glory, killed the whole family of King Zhao and Wuchen in vain, his methods were too cruel, in the future, Li Liang set up the army for disaster, slaughtered Prime Minister Shao Sao, and his crime should be punished, and now, he raised troops to the north, vainly trying to harm Zhao Xie, the king of Zhao, his heart is wrong, should be punished, soldiers, pick up your weapons, follow me to defend the king of Zhao, and kill the traitor!" ”
The morale of the Zhao army was greatly shaken by Zhang Er's words, and everyone roared, brandished their weapons, and was eager to try.
For a while, the drums in the Zhao army's array were beating louder and louder, and the horns sounded one after another, at this time, Chen Yu had drawn his long sword and pointed forward, and the Zhao army surged forward like a big wave, swarming out.
Li Liang after talking to Zhang Er, angry and returned, at this time, he has seen from afar, Zhang Er in front of Zhao Jun angry oath, Li Liang // know, Zhang Er and others have followed Zhao Xie with an iron heart, no matter how to win over, it is useless, Li Liang at this time, more remorse, regret that he did not change to provoke Zhang Er, self-inflicted humiliation, but at this time, the war is about to start, Li Liang did not have time to think so much, at this time, he drew // out of the long sword at his waist, waved forward, turned around and shouted: "Soldiers, the time for meritorious service has come, kill the past, Break through Xindu, kill Zhao Xie, the women of Xindu Palace are at your disposal, and the money is at your disposal, rush over and kill! ”
Li Liang's order, 50,000 soldiers and horses like wild horses, roared and rushed towards the Zhao army, and at this time, the Zhao army was also inspired by Zhang Er's morale, swarming to Li Liangjun to kill, after a loud bang, the two armies collided together, the roar of war drums, the collision of swords and guns, the screams after being cut, the wails of kneeling on the ground and praying for life, and the sound of wheels running over the limbs, endlessly.
The so-called division is straight for the strong, Li Liangjun finally failed to defeat the Zhao army that swore to defend the king of Zhao, after three rounds of fierce battles, Li Liangjun retreated on all fronts and was defeated back to Handan.
There were not many soldiers and horses left in Handan City at this time, Li Liang ordered the deputy general Boyi to defend the city, led his own personal followers, and threw Zhang Han into Qin.
