Chapter 173: The City Across the River
When Han Jun heard this, he sighed unconsciously: "Haha, the Qin State is really a majestic west, ah, no, now, there are also some towns in Hedong that belong to Great Qin, it seems that this Wei State and Zhao State are already in the pocket of our Great Qin!
"Hehe, this is the joy of the king! Of course, it is also the joy of the generals, and it is none of our business! We, at most, we will help raise grain, grass, and baggage! Fortunately, now our army of Great Qin, whether it is chariots or horses, is the best in the Seven Kingdoms, so our task is relatively light! By the way, Brother Han, your compassionate mind is a little restrained by Wang Zizheng, haha, he likes to fight the most! A while ago, I heard Yingqi and them say that this prince didn't frown even when he killed people, and now, even our soldiers in Daqin are a little afraid of him!" Yang Quanjun hurriedly reminded him.
Han Jun was silent for a while, and then sighed, and understood, haha, the demeanor of our prince and government, I learned it when I was in Korea! It seems that his heart to destroy Zhao is as firm as iron! Hehe, we in South Korea seem to have a tacit understanding with Wang Zizheng, in short, there will be no war between our Korea and Qin! Okay, now, I also belong to Daqin, and we will work hard to unify the world!
"Sir is really far-sighted, this point is exactly in line with our Wang Zizheng's thoughts, haha! Come, let's drink! By the way, where are you going to build your residence? Or, it's on our North Street, haha, there is a small courtyard next to me, if Childe doesn't dislike it, I will give it to Childe! Let's face each other day and night, and complement each other!" Yangquan was courteous again.
Han Jun was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "In this way, Han Jun is welcome, hehe, thank you Yangquanjun! Strange, why did Wang Zizheng arrange for me to be a master at once? I thought he was more interested in the Legalists!"
The day before yesterday, at the inn thirty miles outside Xianyang Tower, when they talked with Wang Zizheng, it seemed that Wang Zizheng preferred the rule of law, and also said that Qin's military and agriculture were governed by law! Why is he more favored than Li Si at this time? Strange!
Hehe, Han Gongzi, you don't understand this, this is the emperor's mental trick! Haha, our prince is very clever, by the way, I will tell you a secret, our prince Zheng is deliberately doing it for others to show this time on his eastern tour! The object is Lu Buwei, who thinks he is the smartest person in the world! Okay, the deeper reason, Mr. think about it yourself, I won't say more! In short, our Daqin has met a Ming monarch who is rare to see in a hundred years, I see that this prince is even more powerful than the former Zhaoxiang King, it depends on how we do things! Come, drink!
The more Yangquan Jun spoke, the happier he became, but the purpose was to let him see the situation clearly, not like that Li Si, the two ends of the first rat, that was the most taboo thing for the king!
They drank happily, and it was not easy for Li Si to return to the courtyard of Prime Minister Lü Buwei's mansion!
He had just returned to the mansion, and Lu Buwei actually came in person, this time, he was enthusiastic, and as soon as they met, he smiled: "Mr. Li Si, I heard that you went out today, where did you go? Haha, could it be that Mr. Li also has old acquaintances in Xianyang City?"
"Oh, by the way, he is a Confucian student, we are a Confucian in Korea, I am a Legalist, haha, so, our donkey's head is not in the horse's mouth, every time we meet, we are red-faced! Haha, but just now I went to show off, because I have already found an errand in Xiangye's mansion! As for him, I'm afraid I have to wait, I heard that he is going to meet Yangquanjun! Unexpectedly, when I was showing off, Yangquanjun came, so I had to accompany them for a few drinks!" Li Si told the truth, and it seemed that he didn't want to hide it from Lu Buwei.
Of course, he knew that in this Xianyang City, Lu Buwei was almost a big man who covered the sky with one hand, and he was afraid that every move in Xianyang City was in his eyes, so in the face of Lu Buwei, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to tell the truth.
Lü Buwei was satisfied, which was completely consistent with the situation he had mastered: it seemed that this Li Si did not deliberately conceal it, and at present, it seemed to be trustworthy, but what did they talk about?
After thinking about it, he finally asked, "What did you all talk about?" Is Yang Quanjun saying bad things about me?"
"Ah, why does Xiangye think so?" Li Si was stunned when he heard this: In fact, Yang Quanjun almost didn't talk about Lu Buwei today, but he was just trying to exaggerate Han Jun's good deeds!
When Lu Buwei saw it, he knew that he had guessed wrong, and then asked, "So, what did you talk about?" I see that your spirit doesn't seem to be very good, but there is still joy on your face, why?
"Haha, Xiangye, our topic today is Han Jun's matter! I don't know why, Yang Quanjun seems to look up to Han Jun very much, and said that Qin Guo is ready to use Han Jun greatly, of course I'm jealous! As for Xise, after all, Han Jun has a bright future, he said that if he comes out, he will be elevated!" Li Si deliberately squeezed Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei was displeased when he heard this: Isn't this deliberately saying that he has no knowledge of people? This kid has backbone, unlike other diners and doormen, forget it, just lift him up!
After thinking about it, Lu Buwei pretended to remember something, and laughed loudly: "Haha, Mr. Li, don't worry, when the time is right, the prime minister will recommend you to the king! However, there is a major event in my house at present, that is, the prime minister wants to compile a book, so I want to ask Mr. to be the editor, haha, this is a famous thing for the ages, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"
Li Si was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up: Isn't it just a false name? Can it be used as a meal? Can it be used as a dress? What is a name that will be remembered through the ages? Isn't it that Lu Buwei wants to raise himself in his mansion and be a knife and pen for him?
But he also heard what Lu Buwei meant, so he laughed: "Yes, thank you Xiangye for lifting up!"
Seeing this, Lü Buwei thought that he had a plan, so he immediately introduced some scribes to him, and explained their respective tasks, and asked Li Si to carve out the Legalist concept of governing the country, and then walked away.
Seeing this, Li Si let out a long sigh, and his eyes were full of loss: he lost to Han Jun again!
Ying Zheng and his entourage have crossed the Wei River, and then, they have arrived at the land west of the river, and they are across the river from the Wei State!
At this time, the water of the Wei River has not yet risen, and it is still gentle and supple and charming, like a beautiful girl, quiet and moving, wave by wave, all of which make people feel refreshed!
After looking at the Wei River, he smiled: "Okay, that's good, haha, this Wei River is really good! Meng Tian, it's Wei on the other side, right? Haha, I heard that we also have a city in Hedong! Are you familiar with the war between our Great Qin and Wei State? Can you tell me about it? Hehe, I'm not at all familiar with our opponent in front of me! I only know about Zhao Guo!"
When Meng Tian heard this, he was stunned: How can this prince be in trouble? Isn't he making a fool of himself? It's strange, but this is also right, he didn't stay in Great Qin at all, and only came back, where did he know about the war between Qin and Wei?
Therefore, Meng Tian thought for a while before he said: "Prince, we have been fighting many wars with the Wei people, in fact, for a long time, we have been fighting with the Sanjin, ah, that is, Korea, Wei, and Zhao, and there are fewer Koreas, and Wei and Zhao have been fighting with us non-stop! Originally, we couldn't beat Wei, so they took advantage of a lot!"
Subsequently, he carefully told Ying Zheng about the war between Qin and Wei.
In the seventh year of King Wulie of Zhou, the Wei army captured the Hexi region of Qin: the Wei army first built a city in Shaoliang, Hexi, established a consolidated advance base, and stockpiled troops to attack Qin. Qin sent troops to attack Shaoliang to prevent the Wei army from repairing the city. The two armies fought at Shaoliang, and the Wei army defeated the Qin army and continued to build the city and prepare for war. The Qin army built fortifications along the Yellow River to stop the Wei army from expanding outward. In the thirteenth year, the Wei army completed its preparations and began to attack the Qin army in Hexi, penetrating deep into the vicinity of Zhengdi, which was deep in Qin, and defeated the Qin army. In the fourteenth year, Wei Wenhou ordered the prince to lead the army to conquer Fanpang, drive his people and occupy his land. In the seventeenth year, Wei Wenhou appointed Wu Qi as the main general, conquered Linjin and Yuanli in the Hexi region of Qin and built a city. The following year, Wu Qi again led an army to attack the Qin State, all the way to Zheng County, conquered Luoyin, Mingyang and built a city. The Qin State could only retreat to Luoshui, build fortifications along the river, and build Chongquan City to defend it.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he wondered: "Strange, this Wei army is good, it actually fought so smoothly? What are the characteristics of Wu Qi's use of troops? Have you carefully analyzed it?"
"Hehe, during the battle with the Qin army, Wu Qi never regarded himself as superior to ordinary soldiers, and slept on the unleveled ridges at night, covering his body with leaves to avoid the invasion of frost and dew, because he was still very good at leading his troops! After three years of rest, the Wei army launched an attack again, expanded the results of the battle, and successively conquered the two cities of Linjin and Yuanli, and built a city in Linjin. In the eighteenth year, the Wei army regained the two cities of Luoyin and Taiyang, and also built a city in Luoyin to garrison troops, so that in addition to Fanpang, which was occupied by Gongzi in 412 BC, the Wei State occupied all the Hexi regions that originally belonged to the Qin State, and established Xihe County here. Wu Qi served as the first county guard. The Qin army retreated one after another, built fortifications along the Luoshui coast, and built Chongquan Chengyi (southeast of present-day Pucheng, Shaanxi) to defend against the Wei army and prevent it from continuing westward!"
Meng Tian sighed, and then smiled bitterly: "This is the first stage of the battle between Qin and Wei, to be honest, we didn't take advantage at all, and we were taken away by Wei, and it was good for the Wei people to fight!"
Listening to his words, Ying Zheng smiled, sighed, and then smiled, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, how did we fight back? Haha, the generals of our Qin State should not sit idly by, otherwise, our Great Qin would not be as prosperous as it is today! By the way, the key for us is to find out the strategy and tactics, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the army, and we must carefully analyze how to fight against Zhao and Wei! This is our attitude in discussing the war examples of our predecessors, in short, the war with Wei and Zhao is about to begin! Hey, my beauties have prepared the food and drinks, and we will talk while eating!
"No, don't worry, the last general and Wang Jian have also discussed the gains and losses of the battles of their predecessors! It's just that we have different opinions, he likes to fight steadily, and I prefer to win by surprise, so we often argue!" Meng Tian smiled.
Ying Zheng was even more satisfied, and laughed: "Okay, very good, this is the best attitude of the generals! Fanghua, pour wine, hehe, Yuyi, you can also join our discussion! You two can also, one Yang Dragon, one Yang Tiger, if you are a real dragon and a real tiger, don't be like a sheep, in the future, you will all be the most loyal and brave generals of my Great Qin! Okay, everyone sit down and eat, let's have fun, haha!"
"No!" the two soldiers were not polite, and immediately feasted
Meng Tian frowned, you two boys are welcome, hehe, who is on guard?
This is our territory in Daqin, we don't need to be suspicious at all, second brother, there is no need to be vigilant now! My princess is also a first-class master, even if we are drunk, the two of them will be responsible for our safety, haha!
The more Ying Zheng talked, the happier he became, and then said, "Let's continue to discuss the war, second brother, you go on!"
"Yes, prince, please!" Meng Tian hurriedly toasted first, and then talked about the war between Qin and Wu Qi.
In the thirteenth year of King An of Zhou, the Qin State once again mobilized an army of about 500,000 troops to attack Yin Jin, an important city on the eastward path of the Qin State. The Qin army set up a camp outside the city of Yin and Jin.
Although the situation was critical, Wei had an elite army stationed in Hexi. Xihe County guarded Wu Qi and invited the monarch Wei Wuhou to hold a celebration banquet, so that those who had made meritorious contributions would sit in the front row and use gold, silver, copper, and other valuable tableware, and pigs, cattle, and sheep should all have all three livestock; those who made meritorious service should sit in the middle row, and the valuable tableware should be appropriately reduced; and those who have not made meritorious service should sit in the back row and should not use valuable tableware. After the banquet, they will also reward the parents, wives and families of the meritorious person outside the gate. For the families of the deceased soldiers, every year they send envoys to express condolences and reward their parents to show that they will not forget. The law was in force for three years.
The Qin army attacked Hexi, and the Wei army immediately had tens of thousands of soldiers who did not wait for orders to put on their own armor and asked to fight. In the face of this large-scale attack by the Qin army, Wu Qi asked Wei Wuhou to send 50,000 people who had not made meritorious contributions as infantry, and he personally led the counterattack against the Qin army. Marquis Wu agreed, and sent 500 chariots and 3,000 cavalry. The day before the war, Wu Qi issued an order to the three armies, saying: All the officials and soldiers should go with me to fight the enemy, whether it is chariots, cavalry, and infantry, "if the chariot cannot be carried, the cavalry cannot be ridden, and the vain cannot be vain, even if the army is broken, it will be useless." Wu Qi then led the Wei army to launch a counterattack against the Qin army at Yin Jin. On this day, although the Wei soldiers were few, they all fought bravely to kill the enemy, and one was ten. After repeated charges, the Wei army defeated the 500,000 Qin army and achieved brilliant results.
"Amazing, this Wu Qi is too powerful, haha, it's a pity, we didn't meet!Hehe, one Wu Qi, one Bai Qi, we can't meet, it's a pity, it's a pity! Meng Tian, do you also feel too sorry?" Ying Zheng suddenly showed a respectful color!
