Chapter 139: Capturing the Walled City
It has long been rumored in the walled city that the Qin people have mobilized a large army and will attack the walled city. Yuan Ling sent people out to patrol the mountains, and reported that the Qin had built a city in the valley and had a large army stationed there. When Yuan Ling heard the news, he already felt overwhelmed to deal with it; Now that I heard that there was another army from the mouth of the Qingshui River, my little life would really be over. He was dumbfounded and sweating.
Captain Yuan still said in a tough tone: "There are tens of thousands of victors in Yuancheng, and the food is spent for several months, and the walls are guarded, how can you be afraid of the Qin people!" ”
Zheng Anping said: "Qin, Wei, and the allies are also so strong that they have to raise troops against each other!" There are few people in the walled city, and the hungry are in the wilderness; Drive it to defend its city, and it may be difficult to defeat the army. But moving Wei Min to the former residence of Anyi is not two pennies! The county guard knew that there was a shortage of work, so 10,000 people helped him; or water or land, move to the east of the river, return to its hometown, and die in the wall - and reduce the crime of the wall. ”
Yuanwei said: "The soldiers of Yuancheng are strong, if the Qin people are rude, they will be taught by the Yuanren!" ”
Zheng Anping's face changed, and he said: "The ministers gather hundreds of people at the gate of the mansion, and the captain beats the drum, and he can get a thousand pawns for a while, and Qin swears not to enter." He shouted and ordered: "Enlightenment! ”
The Qin soldiers sitting in the gate of the mansion rose up all of a sudden, and they lined up in the court in an instant. A few of the sentinels guarding the court wanted to come over, but when they saw that the momentum was not right, they hurriedly retreated.
Yuan Ling hurriedly got up and chased him out, bowed his hand and bowed deeply: "The doctor can't move." The doctor invited him to sit at the table, and there was a discussion. Zheng Anping returned to the table and sat down. Yuan Ling said: "Fei Chen and others dare to betray the alliance of Qin and Wei, and they have to bear the king's order. The county guard has an order, and the ministers dare not resign, but without the king's order, they dare not allow it. ”
Chen Sidao: "This is not difficult. Qin Wei's family, the wall is in trouble, and Hedong should not sit idly by. I am willing to return to the lieutenant with moderation, and return to my hometown with the people. Both public and private, the king will be pleased! ”
Zheng Anping then bowed his hand to the captain and said: "The ministers are hereby ordered by the captain to move his people. ”
Captain Yuan's face changed, and he was at a loss. Yuan Ling said: "This strategy is very good. Then he said to Yuan Wei: "You can lead the Qin soldiers to beat the drum and gather the crowd and announce it." ”
Zheng Anping said: "Yuan Wei or not familiar with civil affairs, I am willing to be a little more peaceful!" ”
Under strong persecution, Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng took Zheng Anping, Chen Si, and a group of Qin soldiers to the villages to announce the fatwa of immigration. They bear the names of captains and captains, have drums and bells, and take their affairs seriously, and the people do not believe them. It wasn't until the sun set that Zheng Anping returned. Of course, this trip only played a propaganda role, and there was not a single family of immigrants. But they have already turned around the four villages of the walled city.
The next day, Zheng Anping and Chen Si went again. Sure enough, once born and twice cooked, even Captain Yuan didn't resist so much, and took them to the countryside to proclaim. Chen Si pointed to a river flowing through the city and said, "You will announce it along the river." ”
Although this move caused some disgust, Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng still accepted it, and drove down the river, gathering villagers along the way to announce various preferential policies for immigrants to Anyi. When the sun was about to set, I found the estuary. Zheng Anping said to Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng: "The time is coming to an end, the ministers are walking, not as fast as the public speed, and they will stay here tonight." Day by day, it is reunited with the public. ”
Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng may have been worried that they would not be able to return to Yuancheng on time, but when they saw Zheng Anping and their offer to stay at the mouth of the river, they were naturally satisfied, and promised that they would definitely come the next day, and drove back to the city before dark.
Zheng Anping and they found a settlement at the mouth of the river and asked to stay overnight. The lord of Yi refused in his heart, but seeing that there were many people in this group, and they were very strong, they were all not easy to mess with, and now he still said good things, if he was rejected, he was afraid that he would turn his face the next moment, so he had to grit his teeth and agree first, and the blessing and misfortune would be in heaven. Zheng Anping arranged everyone in the surrounding houses and followed the people to make fires and cook together.
Zheng Anping, Chen Si and several other leaders dined at the house of the lord of the city. There are many people in the family, about ten men, women and children. Zheng Anping beckoned them to sit around and eat together. While eating, we talked about the distance and proximity of the road here, and where the river would go...... Some of the lords of the city can answer, and some of them can't. Chen Si asked him if there were still people in the city who made a living from ferries. The lord replied that there were several boats, and if he wanted to cross the river, he could find them. Chen Si was very happy, and after eating, he asked the lord of Yi to take him and Zheng Anping to the boatman's house.
After talking with the boatmen, Chen Si found that the boatmen here are not all familiar with all the waterways, but each has their own division of labor, and only runs the waterways they are familiar with. Chen Si asked the boatmen to bring in the other boatmen, and everyone chatted together. Seeing that Chen Si seemed to have some status, these soldiers respected him very much, and their attitude was also very kind, he felt relieved, and tried his best to welcome Chen Si, not daring to be disobedient. Chen Si asked him to call other boatmen, so he really went out to call, and sent his wife and children out to call, for fear of missing Chen Si's time.
Chen Si talked with these boatmen for a long time, and they were involved in a lot of things on the waterway. Zheng Anping barely spoke, only listening carefully from the side. After eating, the boatmen left happily. Chen Si said that he wanted to take a boat out for a trip tomorrow, and everyone said that there was no problem.
The next day, Chen Si had breakfast and chose two water-sensitive soldiers to go out on a boat. And Zheng Anping waited until it was almost noon, when Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng came over. Xiang went to another mountain beam to find a few families and announced relevant preferential policies. Then head back to the estuary. Chen Si had been drifting on the river for a day, and when he returned, he informed Zheng Anping of the discovery on the river. The other side of the river is actually a peak of the mountain, and looking at the shape of the mountain, it seems that the other side of the mountain is the pond. Due to the urgency of time, Chen Si did not find a passage to the mountain. Going down the river, it takes about half a day to reach Mengjin. Zheng Anping said that if you can reach Mengjin by going out of the Yellow River, why do you have to take the road bitterly? Chen Sidao: "The urgency of the river and the danger of the beach are extraordinary. Few small boats may be able to cross them, and if the ships are large and large, they will not be able to cross. Therefore, it must pass through the Tao. Or say that you can go up the river to Wucheng, which is dangerous and difficult, and you can't cross it. ”
Zheng Anping said: "Or Yan Qin entered the clear water and attacked the wall, I don't know the way." ”
Chen Sidao: "The lord submitted a letter to Xianyang overnight to inquire, and he will definitely get something." ”
Zheng Anping said: "Going down the river from Qin, or getting its convenience, and having its way." Tracing the river, its potential is also difficult. Chen Si was also noncommittal. I lit a torch and painted the "landscape" I saw today.
After the Qin people entered the city again, they changed the team leader, and Zheng Anping and Mr. Xie Yan took a guy with a convenient tongue recommended by Mr. Xie Yan. Those people were like a hanging river, and they spoke to heaven for the immigrants. Every time I go to a township, I can coax a group of people to come over for consultation. Zheng Anping watched coldly, and found that the faces of the two Yuanwei were a little bad, so he deliberately walked over to chat with them, and finally said: "The people of Yuancheng, there are many people who are willing to go to Anyi, and they are all captains and Cheng." If Anyi is revived, it is not only the benefit of the Qin people, but also the virtue of Wei and Cheng! The two could only smile awkwardly and could not answer.
After that, the Qin people went directly to the countryside and did not look for people from Yuancheng at all. The people who wanted to emigrate made an appointment with Zheng Anping, and on that day, these people pulled their cattle to help transport people, goods, and grain. After a few days, the villagers came back and showed up with the villagers to encourage everyone to emigrate. Slowly, a hundred people were no longer enough, and at most, Zheng Anping brought five or six hundred animals into the mountains to help move. These animals naturally came from the Yi clan, and the herdsmen of the Yi clan also demonstrated the value of their existence in the east of the river.
After going back and forth, the people of Yuancheng were also accustomed to the existence of the Qin people, anyway, the officials of Yuancheng did not go to the countryside easily, and the Qin people went to the countryside from time to time to announce some government decrees, but they were recognized as officials by the people of Yi, and gradually, who had some grievances, and whose families had some disputes, they even complained to these Qin people and listened to their rulings. Zheng Anping obviously felt that the opportunity had come, and went back to report Zhang Lu and Pi Juan, so he also added the work of criminal Cao to the team, specializing in dealing with disputes between the people of Yi, and in addition to publicizing immigration, promulgating the Qin Law. -- The Commander completely lost control of the regime.
One day after the beginning of spring, Pi Wan led a thousand Qin soldiers straight into the walled city, and he was not subjected to any interrogation along the way. After arriving in Yuancheng, Pi Wan ordered Yuan Ling to summon all the officials to the mansion and announced that because Yuan Ling, Wei, and Cheng only cared about their own interests, they could not protect the people, but harmed the people. Immediately appointed the doctor Chen Si to temporarily sign the Yuan Order, and his own soldiers and Gong Cao temporarily signed the Yuan Lieutenant and Yuan Cheng; The rest of the officials remained in office and advanced and retreated according to the law. A thousand Qin soldiers stayed, thinking they were guards. From today onwards, Yuancheng will practice the Qin law.
Before everyone had time to be surprised, they found that the mountain was already full of Qin pawns.
Zhang Lu immediately flew to Xianyang, and Hedong Weiwan led the prisoners to capture the walled city, and no one was damaged!
A month later, the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion traveled to Hedong, and his military exploits were "Ying", and he was promoted to the fifth doctor. All the personnel involved in the seizure of the city were promoted to the first rank, and the convicts were collectively promoted to the first rank. Pi Wan returned to Xianyang for appointment, with the public doctor Bing as the captain of Hedong, and the official doctor Zheng Anping as the first lord of the public doctor, still Hedong Cheng. Doctor Chen Si was promoted to the first rank as an official doctor, and he was appointed as the commander of the wall. The hairpin is nameless and promoted to a knight, and it is not changed, and it is signed as a wall. Pi's order was promoted from Pi's lieutenant, and Pi's was changed to 'Yuan's lieutenant'. The vacant Pi Shi Wei and Pi Shi Cheng were appointed by Hedong Xianxian. So Zhang Lu appointed Bing Cao and Gong Cao, who he had placed in Yuancheng to serve in Yuancheng, to return to Pi's post according to Pi Juan's recommendation.
Ten days later, Gong Dafu Bing arrived, and it turned out to be the Gong Da Doctor sent to Hedong by Shangjun who had dealt with him before, and now I know that Gong Da Doctor Li is named Bing. When the old people met, they talked about the past when they got along a few months ago, and they all smiled.
Li Bing brought with him the records of the previous capture of Yuancheng that Zhang Lu had asked to find. The record is very simple: "In the fifteenth year, Daliang made Bai to attack Wei, took the wall, and restored it. When everyone saw the five words "Daliang made white", they were stunned for a while!
