Chapter 16: The Death of Wei
Xiang Liang's reputation is becoming more and more powerful, but he has not yet proven himself on the battlefield. However, the opportunity to prove yourself is just around the corner.
Before that, let's set our sights on Zhang Han.
After Zhang Han defeated Chen Sheng, he thought that the thieves would scatter birds and beasts under the deterrence of the imperial court, but on the contrary, they were gathering birds and beasts, and the more they fought, the more they fought. He was distressed, really distressed, how long would he have to fight like this? Doing this life-saving work every day, maybe one day your head will move? As far as Zhang Han is concerned, his hope is shattered bit by bit, and his life is bitter, and his life is bitter to complain about the Qin government.
Say, who should be hit next? Zhang Han threw such a question to his staff.
Some people say that they fight the state of Chu, and the state of Chu is the strongest, some people say that they fight Korea, and that Korea is the weakest, and some people say that they fight the state of Wei, and the state of Wei is the closest; Some people say that they are all beaten.
If you ask me to say, it is to fight the Qin Dynasty. Isn't this a rebellion? Yes, that's right, it's a rebellion. The lord of the Qin Dynasty is faint, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, is it worth it to work for it, is it not worth it. Zhang Han is very clear about this, but he can't rebel casually, it's not that he can't, it's not that he can't for the time being, Qin II's national character is very poor, but he treats him well. Thinking that he can climb step by step to today, the Qin Dynasty has given favors.
After fierce debate, everyone gradually unified their opinions, Chu is the strongest, and the road is long, it will be very hard to fight, if it is defeated, it will be a complete defeat. Among the six countries, Qi Zhao is not aggressive, strong outside and middle, Han Wei is the weakest, you can fight first, after defeating them, and then use troops against Qi Zhao, Qi Zhao is not difficult to take, and then concentrate forces to encircle the powerful Chu State.
Logically speaking, this idea is good. In the process of defeating the weak brigade, you can not only strengthen yourself, but also weaken the strong enemy. However, these six countries are not the original pre-Qin six countries, and they often engage in small frictions with each other to adjust their lives. At this time, the six restored countries formed a close alliance, and in their eyes, the only enemy now was the Qin Dynasty, and they were brothers until they eliminated this enemy who did not share the sky.
Therefore, no country Zhang Han fights, he is fighting against the Six-Nation Alliance. Zhang Han is very clear about this, but he knows that there is no way, the troops are insufficient, he can only hope that the Six-Nation Alliance will stage a good show of flying separately when the catastrophe is coming, which is indeed the best offensive roadmap that can be chosen. At this time, Wang Li (the grandson of the famous general Wang Qian, but the gap with Wang Jian was too big) in the north led 200,000 people to attack Yan Zhao, and Zhang Han personally led troops to force Linji, the capital of Wei. Seeing that the enemy army was pressing the border, the king of Wei was very worried, and hurriedly recruited Zhou City to withdraw from Pei County to discuss countermeasures.
Indirectly, Zhang Han is also a person that Pei Gong needs to thank.
There are still some talents in the camp of Wei Wangjiao, such as Chen Ping, Lu Jia, who were very famous later, Fu Kuan, Huang Xin, etc., after discussion, everyone agreed that they could not withstand Zhang Han's army alone, so they had to move rescue troops.
At this time, Han Zhaoyan was too busy to take care of himself, and the king of Wei sent Zhou Shi to ask for help from Qi Chu, and Tian Dan, the king of Qi, knew the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, so he didn't say a word, leaving his younger brother Tian Rong to guard the city, and he brought 100,000 troops to rescue. And the state of Chu also sent Xiang Tuo to help in the war.
Wei Xiangguo Zhou Shi is a very conceited person, he is virtuous, stubborn, but arbitrary, does not know strategy, which also made Chen Ping very disappointed in Wei State, so he complained a few words, but he did not expect to reach the ears of Zhou City, Zhou City was furious, and he wanted to slaughter Chen Ping in anger. Fortunately, Chen Ping was clever, heard the wind in advance, and ran away without a trace before Zhang Han's army pressed the border.
Run well, otherwise the Han Dynasty will have one less capable minister.
Chen Ping ran away, and Zhou Shi had no time to pay attention to him.
The Qin army had already crossed the Jishui (the river was swallowed up by the Yellow River) and was stationed near the city of Linji, while the Zhou city led 60,000 troops to be stationed in the northwest of Linji. Zhou Shi looked down on Zhang Han very much, Zhang Han, who had won a hundred battles before, was not worth mentioning in his eyes, he was very disdainful of Zhang Han's defeat of Chen Sheng, Zhou Wen, Wu Guang, Song Liu, Wu Xu and others, he thought that Zhang Han was a fluke victory.
For Zhou City's light enemy, he couldn't even look down on Yongya, and said a few words to him. Zhou Shi was angry again and beat the Yongya Messy Stick. Yongya regretted it, regretted voting for the wrong person, now Pei Gongna can't go, Zhou Shi can't stay here, after thinking about it, he ran to Hebei to vote for Zhao Guo.
Run well, otherwise the Han Dynasty will have less chess pieces to capture people's hearts.
Character determines fate, and those who are conceited will be borne by others. Zhou Shi is hopeless.
Zhou Shi was very bold, and he was bold because he was ignorant. He doesn't know Zhang Han, if Zhang Han is an ordinary person, how can he win every battle, the only explanation can only be that he is not a general person.
That night, Zhou Shi sent troops to rob Zhang Han's camp. Since ancient times, camp robbery has been a very dangerous job. The reason why it is dangerous is that it is easy to fall into a heavy encirclement, and the most taboo thing to fight on the march is to fall into the encirclement of the enemy, which is surrounded by enemies on all sides. If you can succeed in robbing the camp, either the troops are far superior to the opponent, or the opponent's general is an idiot. Zhou Shibing went to attack Zhanghan's camp in three ways, but found that Zhanghan's camp was very quiet, and he couldn't even see a ghost.
Zhou Shi, do you still dare to disdain Zhang Han? Your old gentleman's intention to rob the camp has long been clearly understood by General Zhang Han.
The result can be imagined, Zhou City was ambushed by Zhang Han, and most of the Wei soldiers were killed and wounded. Now Zhou Shi knows that Zhang Han is powerful, and he doesn't dare to say anything, so he can only honestly guard the camp, hang up the war-free card, dare not go to war, and wait for reinforcements on the spot.
The Qi reinforcements, under the leadership of Tian Dan, also approached Linji City.
Zhang Han did not dare to underestimate the enemy.
This is the real general, after so many victories, he still doesn't dare to underestimate the enemy. At this time, it was a cold winter, Tian Dan's army was tired from afar, and the two armies were fighting outside the city, but Tian Dan's general Tian Heng was fierce, this was a strong man, and he would be mentioned later. The Qin army couldn't take advantage of it. Zhang Han saw that the situation was not good, so he Mingjin withdrew his troops, and after analyzing the situation, he decided to attack the Qi State camp at night. Why Zhang Han also showed off his brain, and learned from Zhou Shi.
No, Zhang Han didn't show off.
In a war, the key to victory or defeat is not to compare who there are, let alone to be more powerful, it is the person who leads the army to determine the outcome of the war, so it is also a robbery camp, and different people will rob different effects.
Zhang Han made the decision to rob the camp after fully analyzing the situation between the enemy and us. It's by no means like Zhou Shi patting his head and taking it for granted.
The Qi army came from afar, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and it was a cold winter, and the Qi army won a small victory during the day, so it was a little slack. So they must have slept soundly at night.
Late at night, the cold wind was blowing, and the Qi army camp was silent, and they really slept soundly.
Zhang Han was overjoyed.
The Qin army took the opportunity to rush into the camp tent and slash and kill, at this time, killing people was like cutting watermelons, and the poor Qi soldiers, some of whom were still asleep, died under the knife for unknown reasons, and became unjust souls.
Qi Wang Tian Dan was also panicked in the chaos and was chopped by Zhang Han. The Qi army was not saved, and he lost seventy or eighty thousand by himself, Tian Dan hung up, and Tian Heng fled to Dong'e (the hometown of Ejiao in China) with the remnants of the defeated army.
After the great victory over the Qi army, Sima Xin suggested that Zhang Han should go all out and kill the frightened Zhou Shi together.
Zhang Han followed his advice. After making a good deployment, the Qin army began to attack the camp of Zhou City the next day, Zhou City could not resist it, and retreated from the east, which was Zhang Han deliberately left the east side and forced Zhou City to retreat from this side, and he had already ambushed the men and horses on the way back from Zhou City, and chose a place for Zhou City to be buried. Zhou City really rushed out from the east, when the Wei army soldiers were feeling the endless road, there was another burst of cannons, the Qin army rushed out from the four heights, the Wei army was already frightened, had no intention of fighting, everyone could only flee for their lives, the battlefield was chaotic, in the chaos of the army, Zhou City was killed.
Fu Kuan Huangxin broke out of the siege and fled back to Linji City.
Zhou City was killed, and half of the sky of Wei State fell. Zhang Han rested for a while, licked the blood and drove towards Linji City. Wei Wang Ji was a very benevolent person. Although he is a descendant of the royal family, although he is ignorant of people, he has the heart of a benevolent lord. He knew that he couldn't fight, but he didn't run, it wasn't that he couldn't run, but he didn't want to run, he was worried about the people of Limin in Linji City, these people had helped him resist the Qin army, and they also rebelled together, according to the standards of the Qin Dynasty, they were all thieves and wanted to be killed.
So he couldn't just run away with one person, and as a result, he made a big decision in his life, and it was a decision that made me respect him. He's great. It's so great that it makes you want to cry.
He was ready to surrender, but there were conditions for surrendering.
He didn't ask for money from officials, but for his life, and he wanted to exchange his life for the peace of the people in the city. Therefore, the condition of his surrender was that Zhang Han must promise not to harm the people in the city, and he could commit suicide in public.
Great, the king of a country, it is rare to be so benevolent and righteous.
To be honest, Zhang Han also admired him, so he agreed to his conditions. He didn't want to hurt the people in the city, but the court couldn't say it. Zhang Han had to give an explanation to the imperial court, so the king of Wei had to die, and he did not have the power to pardon the king of Wei.
Jiyang City Tower, King Wei bathed and changed clothes, the people under the city all wept bitterly, Wei Wang Ji finally glanced at the homeland he loved in his heart, and the people he missed: Why do I often have tears in my eyes Because I love this land deeply.
King Wei died calmly in the tens of thousands of pairs of eyes under Linji City.
If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, the king of Wei must be a benevolent monarch.
Zhang Han is a gentleman, he fulfilled his promise, withdrew the army, and did not commit any offense against the people of Linji, seeing Wei Ji so benevolent, he also felt the mediocrity of Qin II even more.
Zhang Han, a fierce man of the Qin Dynasty, also did a good deed and released Lu Jia, a virtuous minister who will become famous in the world in the future.
At this point, the Wei State was destroyed, and Zhang Han began to take advantage of the victory to pursue the Tian brothers who fled to Dong'e.
The battle of Qin and Wei, compared with the later wars, can only be said to be a small war, but the performance of Wei Qi makes people unable to spare pen and ink.
