Tian Dan is an all-round man in civil and military affairs, not only has the military exploits of restoring the Qi State, but also governed the Qi State for many years, so that the Qi State has survived for 20 years in its dying, and there is a certain influence and right to speak among the princes, Tian Dan's political wisdom is needless to say. When Han Ping encountered a problem, he sent someone to invite Tian Dan to Yangzhai to talk with him secretly.

Before the occupation of Zheng Guo, Yangzhai was also the capital of South Korea for a time, seventy or eighty li away from Zheng Guo and more than a hundred li away from Zhucheng, roughly in between. After the two met, Han Ping explained to Tian Dan that South Korea had been hit by the Qin State again, this time to the party.

Tian Dan was not very familiar with the geography of the Taihang Mountains, and Han Ping explained: "The Jin Dynasty is separated from the high mountains of China, and there are only a few people who can pass through it: out of the road to the city, out of the Taihang to the wild king." Now the road is based on Qin, and Jin is a person who is familiar with China, but Taihang is also. From now on, there are few songs, high capitals, and the way of Taihang is broken......"

Tian Dan immediately reflected and continued: "Then Pingyang and Shangdang are not allowed to pass through Zheng Ye?" ”

Han Ping nodded painfully and said, "Yes! What can I do? ”

Tian Dan said: "In this way, Han is in danger of social security!" Today, there are three strategies, and the one above them gathers the power of the three Jin Dynasty to cut down Nanyang in order to pass its way; Among them, the whole army will be armed to wait for the time; The next one was humbled and resigned to bribe Qin. ”

Han Ping said: "The three kingdoms of the monarch and the prime minister, all the princes are virtual and real. With the view of the king, with the power of the three Jin and even Qi, can you get Nanyanghu? ”

Tian Dan pondered for a moment and said: "If you have to gather the strength of the four countries, it will be difficult to attack Qin, and the situation is Nanyang? Those who are worried, Yan is in the north, Chu is in the south, and taking advantage of the void to enter, its disaster is not small. If it must be longitudinal, then Chu is indispensable. Ran Chu ......"

Han Ping said: "Even if you get to Nanyang, or to Hedong, you will not be injured by Qin at all, and the disaster of war will be structured, and there will be no peace." And the country is empty, the princes take advantage of it, and the temple is difficult to peace. ”

Tian Dan said: "The one under him is only bribing Qin, and the only one who can offer it is Jin Pingyang." Wang Qi endures? ”

Han Ping said: "If you offer Fen to several cities, and Yi Shaoqu and Gaodu, the king may do it." Binh Duong, where the temple is located, is not easy. ”

Tian Dan said: "The whole army is going through the military, what can it be? ”

Han Ping said: "The twelve counties of Pingyang, hundreds of cities, and 100,000 victors, but the land is peaceful and easy, and there is no danger to rely on. Shangdang's four counties and seventeen cities, although they are in danger, there are few victories. All of them are more than enough to protect themselves, and they are not enough to overcome. ”

Tian Dan said: "But if you have to protect yourself, its momentum is still acceptable." Jun Qi was in Shangdang and Pingyang County, and the cadres and ministers were appointed to be appointed. Anyi is broken, Zhang Lu has to be revived, and it has to be white and reinvigorated; Pingyang, the homeland of Han, has been in business for several generations; On the party, high and sky, where there is danger, there must be a prosperous and strong person. ”

Han Ping knew that it was difficult to find such talents, but he couldn't say everything, so he had to say: "Teach carefully!" ”

Within a few days, the envoy of Qi came to report the funeral: Qi Wangxue, Xiang Xiang, and Prince Jian ascended the throne. Tian Dan immediately returned to Qi to mourn, and the army sent by Zhao to guard Korea was led by General Zhao to return home. South Korea also sent emissaries to mourn. The other princes, except for Yan, also sent envoys to mourn.

The New Year came in a few days, and despite the loss of the city, Zheng Guocheng was still festive and lively, without any sense of sadness. It seems that Han Ping is the only one who is distressed, and he seems out of place.

Shangdang originally had a county guard, named Jin Huang. Although he can't talk about being a cadre, he is still competent, especially when he is a chore, almost no one grabs it, and his position is quite firm; If it were other counties and lost such important cities as Shaoqu and Gaodu, someone would have taken him down and questioned him a long time ago. For now, all he needs to do is tell him to step up his precautions.

But Pingyang is different, this is the old capital of South Korea, and all counties have old Korean relatives, and the chief officials of each county are even more hands-eyed, and sometimes they don't even pay attention to themselves, so it is not easy to set up a county guard above them! Thinking about it, Han Ping could only go to Han Wang Shuyang Chengjun.

Yang Chengjun is the younger brother of the former king of the king, and he once served as a hostage in the vassal states, so he was named Yang Chengjun. Yang Chengjun's status is embarrassing, and everyone generally thinks that he is more capable, but he has never shown his face and protected himself. But there is still a certain prestige in the clan, and he may be able to suppress that group of county guards.

After the New Year, Han Ping went to find Yang Chengjun, said all the good things, and finally said that Yang Chengjun was moved out of the mountain; It was only after grinding the skin of his mouth that King Han agreed to add Pingyang County. Yang Chengjun took office slowly. At this time, spring ploughing was already in full swing.

However, the question is, the way out of Pingyang has been completely controlled by the Qin army, how can Yang Chengjun get to Pingyang? Yang Chengjun had his own way: he went directly to the door to find the Qin State, and made it clear that he was appointed as the county guard of Pingyang, and he wanted to go to Pingyang to take office, and asked the Qin State to let the customs pass in the spirit of the alliance.

This request made Zhang Lu cry and laugh. The establishment of a county in Pingyang was obviously an act of preparation for war against the Qin State, and it stands to reason that the Qin State would not be too much to suppress Yang Chengjun. However, Zhang Lu saw from Yang Chengjun's reflection that, first of all, South Korea no longer had the idea of recovering lost territory; Secondly, Yang Chengjun is no longer a threat. I didn't embarrass him, and sent a hundred people to escort him through Hedong to Pingyang to take office! When the people of Pingyang counties saw that the newly appointed Pingyang Shou was escorted to his post by the Qin army, they didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while: Could it be that Han and Qin had reconciled?

After Yang Chengjun took office, he immediately summoned the county guards and told them to strengthen preparations for war, use the idle farmers to train soldiers, strengthen troops and horses, and accumulate grass and grain.

Hedong Shoubai sent an envoy to question Yang Chengjun: "Pingyang is adjacent to Hedong, and the military exercises are not stopped, who will be killed?" ”

Yang Chengjun replied: "The world is not peaceful, thieves are everywhere, dare not reorganize the army and military forces, in order to protect the head!" ”

Bai Qi sent an ultimatum: "Yangping plays martial arts, Hedong doesn't dare to be behind!" ”

Yang Chengjun was noncommittal. As a result, from Pishi to Yixian County, and even Gaodu, Bai Qi held many county-level martial arts exercises in Hedong, and the training with Chengyi as the core did not stop for a day.

It was difficult to convey the news of Pingyang, and Yang Chengjun could neither get instructions from King Han nor pass on his own situation, so he could only do his best to prepare for war. But with the deepening of the exercise, even the people of Pingyang can see that the training of the Han army and the Qin army is not at the same level. Hedong can organize exercises at the county level or even several counties, while Pingyang can not do a good job at the city-level exercises.

After the New Year, Bai Qi directly sent a document to Yang Chengjun: "The king and the ministers are acting and martial arts, and now you want to have a quick fight with the king, can you get it?" ”

Yang Chengjun hurriedly ordered the counties to prepare for battle.

However, he saw that in the east of the river, the soldiers of each county concentrated in the area of Anyi and Zuoyi day and night; And Yang Chengjun concentrated a large number of soldiers in Xintian.

Due to the convenience of Fenshui and Hushui, the concentration of soldiers in Pingyang was much faster than that of the Qin people. Yang Chengjun then decided to strike first, sending troops to surround Quwo, which was not far from Xintian, and at the same time control a strong force at the Jiangshan Pass to block possible reinforcements in the direction of Anyi.

However, just as the direction of Xintian was vigilantly watching the movements of the Anyi army, Bai Qi appeared on the side of Taihang Mountain. He led the troops mobilized from Gaodu, out of Shaoshui, down the mountain to Yicheng. In addition to the soldiers who had moved from other places after the occupation, Gaodu's troops also had 30,000 prisoners who had built roads, and the total strength was 40,000 or 50,000. Because the elite soldiers in the Yicheng area were concentrated in Xintian, Bai Qi almost took Yicheng and Shencheng without a fight, and rushed to Xintian along the muddy water.

When Yang Chengjun saw this situation, he knew that he had been deceived by Bai Qi again, Anyi was just used to attract his attention, blocked by mountains and rivers, and Gao Du, who was not in line of sight, was Bai Qi's main attacking force! Yang Chengjun was completely desperate. Quwo not only did not take it, but became a big walnut that could not be swallowed, choking so that the besieging Korean army could not move, and Anyi's troops also pinned down the Korean army in Xintian; The Qin army in Yixian County also came with reinforcements. The ROK troops concentrated in Xintian were not only attacked by superior forces, but also had a very unfavorable position and could not be adjusted.

Bai Qi swept from Quwo to Xintian and fought all the way to the shore of Fenshui, completely encircling the Korean troops concentrated in Xintian. The Han army, which had lost its fighting spirit, soon broke up and became the prey of the Qin army, most of them were killed in the wild, and a few fled back to Xintian to hold on.

Bai Qi did not think too much about occupying the city, but tried to kill and injure the Korean army as much as possible. Even so, there are many cities that surrender without a fight. In the end, the Qin army captured nine cities, including Shencheng, and beheaded 50,000. Binh Duong has become a turtle in an urn! Countless Qin soldiers were knighted because of this battle.

Just as Bai Qi mobilized his troops to prepare to besiege Xintian, Yang Chengjun sent envoys to sue for peace, willing to give up the cities of Yicheng and Jiangcheng counties and make an armistice with Qin. Bai Qi demanded that because Xintian was not far from Quwo and threatened Quwo, the South Koreans must destroy Xintian City, and the Qin people would not send troops to occupy it, but the Koreans were not allowed to garrison troops here.

The results of this campaign are rare in recent years. The Qin army swept away the frustration of the battle and re-established its invincible position!

However, the joy of victory was diluted by the death of the marquis...... The Prime Minister of Qin sent people to announce to all places: the Marquis died in Tao. Jingyangjun was sent to Taoyi to preside over the funeral ceremony of the marquis. Three months later, the Marquis was buried. Tao was changed to Tao County, with Jingyang Jun as Tao Shou, and one of the public passengers brought by the Hou Hou Zhang Tang as Tao Wei, and another public passenger Cai Donation as Tao Cheng.

When the marquis was buried, all the princes of the world sent envoys to mourn, and the states of Chu, Qi, Wei, Korea, and Zhao, who had been killed by Wei Ran and bloodied, all sent close ministers to Tao to mourn on behalf of the princes and kings. Let you be a hero, you will eventually return to the loess!

Bai Qi failed to go to Tao to mourn, and he had to prepare for next year's war. Although Bai Qi is not young, he still walks vigorously, walking between the mountains and rivers of various counties in Hedong. It's just that everywhere he goes, he has to put up a confession, wear mourning clothes, and worship from afar. His ears still rang with the conversation he had when he finally met the marquis:

"Ruzhi Hedong, I will govern Tao. About 10 years old, who is good? ”

"If you are not a prince."

"Ruguang Hedong, Wu Guangtao, about ten years old, who is wide?"

"The prince has not yet risen."

"I've been trying it for about ten years, but what?"

"You and I have been about ten years, but why have you passed away over the years?" Bai Qi let out a long sigh, and tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.
