Chapter 150: Chu people discuss

Chu Ling Yin Chun, Shenjun and Huang Xie are currently under one person and above ten thousand people in the Chu State, integrating all power in one. The King of Chu was originally his student and nephew, and with the sharing of life and death in the Qin State, the King of Chu had a heartfelt trust and even attachment to Huang Xie. He entrusted all the government affairs to Huang Xie, and he just breathed in the palace. This set of exercises of the king of Chu was originally learned from the marquis Wei Ran, but the king of Chu became addicted to it as soon as he learned it. After returning to the state of Chu, the king of Chu gathered the strength of the country and recruited many accomplished qi practitioners to guide himself in the palace. In the past five years, the king of Chu's kung fu has been growing, but there is a bad omen: the king of Chu is not a woman. This is a big deal. The most important duty of a king is to preside over the sacrifice, and the second is to give birth to a son, if there is no son, at least a son, otherwise who will be the next priest? This is a major event related to the life and death of the country, and it is as important as marching and fighting: the so-called "major affairs of the country are in worship and worship".

The king of Chu actually had a son, and when he was still the crown prince, he gave birth to two sons with the king of Qin in order to hostage Qin. The king of Chu may have felt that his task of giving birth to the next priest for the state of Chu had been completed, and he no longer wanted to have children with other women, or even have sex with women. But the image of the Qin State in the minds of the Chu people is too bad, and the Chu people can accept that they cede a piece of land to themselves in order to make peace with the Qin State, but they can't accept that a boy born by Qin becomes the king of Chu, and the Qin girl becomes the queen mother of Chu. In the minds of the Chu people, the restoration of the homeland is the only value of their own existence! And this goal cannot be achieved unless the Qin state is defeated. Therefore, defeating the Qin State is the consensus of the Chu State. Although the king of Chu and Huang Xie were the kings and Ling Yin, they did not dare to compete with this public opinion, and the princess of Qin and the two sons born to her and the king of Chu remained in the state of Qin, as if they did not exist.

After this day, Huang Xie asked Sima Jingyang to explain the battle of Changping to himself and the king of Chu.

Jingyang is the Jing family, and the Jing family has been a Chu general for generations, and they are a wealthy family in the Chu army. Jingyang himself was greedy for wine and lust, but he was unambiguous in the war and became the highest military governor of the Chu State. After the New Year, the Qin army of Nanjun, who had an expedition to Changping, returned to their hometowns one after another. Qinnan County was the capital of Chu Ying, and the state of Chu was inextricably linked to it, and soon found the soldiers and commanders who participated in the battle through various connections, and heard many details about the Battle of Changping. These details were gathered in Chencheng, and the Chu people sent spies to Changping to personally investigate the field, piecing together a complete picture of the Battle of Changping. Jingyang made a complete report to the king of Chu on the situation that had taken three or four months to investigate.

Jingyang spread out a map of the situation in Changping drawn with a whole piece of cloth on the ground, and began to explain: "Changping, the barrier of the party. There is a ridge called Danzhu, the east and west barriers on the party, and the Danshui is out of the Yan. The mountain turns and is surrounded by four mountains. The Zhao people built a city according to the mountain and set up a fortress along the water, thinking that it was a strong city. Outside of Danshui, the Zhao people re-set up pavilion barriers, thinking that the horns were trending. In the meantime, the camps were staggered, the ravines were vertical and horizontal, there were 100,000 sharp soldiers, 150,000 soldiers, 200,000 people, and 450,000 in total. It's hard to attack! And Qin Sui was able to attack the crowd with less and destroy the Zhao army, all of them were Zhao Zhi's cowardice! ”

The king of Chu asked, "Zhao, the land of bitter cold; The Zhao people are still martial, and they die heavily and lightly. Those who say Zhao is cowardly, why not? ”

Jingyang said: "If it is not the cowardice of the Zhao people, the cowardice of the king of Zhao is also!" Who? The long flat land is only 300 miles, and the deep ditch is strong, and there are 10,000 soldiers, which is enough to deserve it. However, Zhao Sui gathered 400,000 hedgehogs in a corner, what is it? Afraid of fighting with Qin. “

The king of Chu asked: "Zhao gathered 400,000 people and wanted to fight with Qin, but why was Sima Yan afraid of Qin?" “

Jingyang said: "The land of war and defense is also, if you need a hundred people, you will have a hundred, if you need a thousand, if you need a thousand, if you need a thousand, you will have ten thousand, and the Tao will also." If there are 10,000 people in this land, why should you gather 400,000 people? It is to keep it by all people. But there is no way to keep it? Fear of the enemy also. “

The king of Chu said: "Don't think about it, if you fight, I will defend it with 10,000 people, and he will attack it with 100,000, so I will defend it with 100,000." I defend it with 100,000, and he attacks it with millions, and he will overcome it, so I defend it with millions. The way of attack and defense is changing because of the enemy, how can it be learned from the earth? “

Jingyang was a little impatient and said, "What King Zhao has seen is the same as Wang. It is the land of 10,000 people, defended by 400,000 people, and Qin attacked it with 100,000 people, so the army was defeated and lost, laughing for the world! “

Seeing that Jingyang not only did not explain his doubts, but ridiculed them, the king of Chu was unhappy, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to say: "With 400,000 to guard Changping, King Zhao is afraid of war!" “

Jingyang said: "If it is not only King Zhao, Lian Po has not been able to fight. Who? Lian Po's generals, 400,000 also; And as far as his heart can reach, he only has long flat ears. 400,000 people are useless, only 10,000 people! Why? Fear of fighting with white! “

The king of Chu said: "With the theory of Qing, what should be used to fight?" “

Jingyang said: "Chen Shaode is incompetent, so he doesn't dare to lead 400,000 people." If you get a division of 100,000, or go east to Hedong, or go south to Nanyang, criticize and make trouble, the shape is forbidden, Changping does not defend and self-defense, and the party is not solid but self-consolidated. must attack but not defend, the way of this battle is also. “

Huang Xie high-fived and exclaimed: "Everyone says that if there are more soldiers, they will win, and if they see more soldiers, they will be defeated; Everyone says that there is more than enough to attack, and the code is insufficient. How can you be a good general in the world! The Chu people fought against the Zhao people, what was the victory or defeat? “

Jingyang said: "Chu and Zhao, mountains and rivers are repaired, and they have never fought each other. Ran Chu and Qin fought several times. The art of war of the Zhao people is similar to that of Qin, all of which are guarded by shields and spears, attacked by arrows, and surprised by halberds. The Chu people fought and won when they encountered spears and halberds, but they were defeated by arrows. Jingyang further detailed in detail the tactical changes of the two sides in several battles in which the Chu people participated, especially the last battle launched by Zhao Kuo, which was almost fatal to the Zhao people, causing huge losses to the Chu people.

Huang Xie commented: "One person will die, and ten will not wait; Ten thousand people will die, rampant in the world! That's right. If the soldier must die, it will be difficult to fight. “

Jingyang said: "Ling Yin has the main way to the soldiers' family." All the way of the general, so that the soldier is not afraid of death, on it will die, on it will be happy to die, on it is willing to die, on it will die righteously, on it will see death as home. Zhao people are happy to die, knowing that their way is not easy. “

Huang Xie said: "Let the people be happy to die, Lian Po may be able to do it." Zhao Kuo'er, how can you do this! “

Jingyang said: "Although Zhao Kuo is small, he can win the hearts of the people, and they are all happy to die for it, and they are good generals!" Zhao Kuo's life is also, and there is no one who has died; And the death of Zhao Kuo, 400,000 people died in one day. Zhao Kuozhi is a pillar of Zhao! “

Huang Xie said: "It's okay to die!" Lian Po and Zhao Kuo are not worth it, if Chu gets one of them, he can be the enemy of the princes! “

Jingyang was a little displeased and said: "Zhao people will be Chu pawns, not their kind!" “

The king of Chu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The Qin people slaughtered 400,000 Zhao people, and how much damage did they suffer?" “

Jingyang said: "20,000 Chu people entered Nanyang, but there were no more than 10,000 returnees, and many of them were injured. Other armies should be like others. Therefore, the Qin army was 100,000, the dead were more than 50,000, and the rest were wounded. “

The king of Chu said: "If you die 50,000, Qin will mourn all over the field." However, Qin Di was as usual. Why? “

Jingyang said: "The Qin army is 100,000, not all of them are Guanzhong. I heard that his death came from Ba, Shu, Nanjun, Guanzhong, Shangjun, and Beidi six counties, and Guanzhong only sent 20,000, if 10,000 people died, although there was a mourning, it was not able to mourn! “

King Chu said: "Ba, Shu, and Nanjun don't talk about it." Shangjun, Wei Diye; Northland, Yiqu also. It's all for Qin's use, it's Qin's victory and strengthening, what can Chu Jiang do? “

Huang Xie said: "What the king asked! Ba and Shu entered Qin, rebelled repeatedly, and it was determined for decades. Shangjun entered Qin, which was a hundred years old, and the people practiced Qin law. The Yiqu in the north is actually a Rong person, not a Qin alien. Today, Qin is all based on the Qin law, fighting for thousands of miles, such as moving arms and fingers, there was no slight hindrance. This Qin is terrifying! “

Jingyang said: "Qin Fa has him, but he is also harsh!" Hearing that the soldiers of Nanjun entered Nanyang, Bai Qi repeatedly used them and did not form a formation, and killed their tithes, but they had to be neat! The Chu people are still martial but not Qi, Huaide is not afraid of might, Bai Qi is full of his pawn Shiwu, and he has to use it for several months. However, if the minister thinks about it, if he cuts the tithe of the Chu army, he will also have to be neatly tied. “

The king of Chu was a little disdainful and said: "Bai Qi beheaded Nanjun, and the people of Chu were also." Guanzhong ......"

Huang Xie interrupted: "Shang Jun's trip to Qin Fa is also, killing 10,000 people in one day, and Weishui is strong. The Qin people are very inconvenient, and three years is convenient! ……“

The king of Chu said: "Chu has been born and raised for ten years, but he has won all of them, if he kills tithes, ten years of work will be wasted!" “

When the two of them saw the king of Chu say this, they stopped talking.

The king of Chu said: "I have lived in Qin for ten years, and I have heard a lot about Qin. Qin is not tyrannical and unreasonable: the people are close to him, not only fearful; The upper and lower are not only mighty; When the King of Qin was in deliberations, the ministers all rose up to talk about it, or directly reprimanded the King of Qin, but it was not just a matter of it. 'How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe as your son", Qin Zhizhi also. ”

Jingyang said: "'Cheng is both brave and martial, and he is strong and invincible', this is Chu Zhiye!" ”

Huang Xie understood that Jingyang was a little dissatisfied with the King of Chu's praise of Qin Zheng many times, and hurriedly intervened: "The Qin soldiers are either fighting to the death, that is, they are dying, waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death and get merit." Chu people are brave and brave, strong and unbeatable, when they are strong, they are stronger, and when they are weak, they are useless......"

Before Huang Xie finished the round, the king of Chu said stubbornly: "Chu met Qin, lost his teacher and lost his land, and the country is a hill, and it is useless!" The King of Chu suddenly stirred up the sensitive nerves of the Chu people, and Huang Xie and Jingyang both shut up!

Seeing that the two of them were no longer talking, the king of Chu said: "The loss of Changping, the loss of Zhao's division, and the loss of Qin's enemy." What can Chu Jiang do? ”

Huang Xie and Jing Yang exchanged glances, and Jing Yang said: "Although Zhao lost 400,000 teachers, he did not lose it at all, and he did not give in. Qin's victory, attacking Taiyuan in the west, and Wu'an in the east, all returned in vain, which is its proof. ”

The king of Chu said: "The loss of the former Chu is also less than 400,000, and it has not been recovered. But how can Zhao Li's prosperity be like this? ”

Huang Xie said: "The minister found out from Handan, Changping is 450,000, and Shangdang Han lives in half of it. Most of the Koreans killed by the Qin people, half of the Zhao talents, and many other counties, are still strong and can resist the Qin army. ”
