Chapter 20 Attacking Fen

Tian Dan was a versatile civil and military man. He not only restored Qi's military exploits, but also governed Qi for many years, allowing Qi to survive for twenty years when it was dying. He also had certain influence and voice among the princes. Tian Dan's political

Wisdom goes without saying. When Han Ping encountered a problem, he sent someone to invite Tian Dan to Yangdi to have a secret talk with him.

Before the occupation of Zheng State, Yangzhai was also the capital of South Korea for a time. It was seventy or eighty miles away from Zheng State and more than a hundred miles away from Zhucheng, roughly in between the two. After the two met, Han Ping explained to Tian Dan that South Korea had suffered another

The Qin State attacked, this time it was Shangdang.

Tian Dan was not very familiar with the geography of the Taihang Mountains. Han Ping explained: "Jin is separated from the high mountains of China, and there are only a few roads that can lead to it: go out of Zhe Road to Zhi City, go out of Taihang to Yewang. Now the Zhe Road is the Qin Road

According to the evidence, the only link between Jin and China is Taihang. From now on, Jue Shaoqu, Gaodu, and Taihang have been cut off..."

Tian Dan immediately responded and said: "Then Pingyang, Shangdang will not be able to communicate with Zheng Ye?"

Han Ping nodded painfully and said, "Of course! What can I do?"

Tian Dandao: "In this way, Han is in danger of the country! Now there are three strategies. The first one is to gather the power of the three Jin Dynasties to attack Nanyang to clear the way; the second one is to organize the army and use military force to wait for the time; the second one is to assemble the army and use military force to wait for the time.

, I humbly offered a lot of money to bribe Qin."

Han Ping said: "The king is in charge of the three kingdoms, and the princes are both true and false. Looking at it from the king's perspective, if you gather the power of the three Jins and even Qi, can you conquer Nanyang?"

Tian Dan pondered for a moment and said: "If we can gather the power of the four kingdoms to attack Qin, what about Nanyang? What we need to worry about is that Yan is in the north and Chu is in the south. If they take advantage of the weakness and come in, the disaster will be huge. They will definitely join forces, and Chu will not be able to do so."

Que Ye. Ran Chu..."

Han Ping said: "Even if we take Nanyang or reach Hedong, we will not be harmed by Qin at all. However, the war has caused disasters and there will be no peace. But the country is empty, the princes are taking advantage of it, and the ancestral temple is unsafe."

Tian Dan said: "The only one I can offer is to bribe Qin, and the only one I can offer is Jin Pingyang. How can the king tolerate it?"

Han Ping said: "If you offer several cities above Fen and change Shaoqu and Gaodu, the king may do it. Pingyang, where the ancestral temple is located, cannot be changed."

Tian Dan said: "Is it possible to organize an army and practice martial arts?"

Han Ping said: "There are hundreds of cities in the twelve counties of Pingyang, and the number of victorious soldiers is one hundred thousand. However, the terrain is flat and easy, and there is no danger to occupy. Although the seventeen cities in the four counties of Shangdang are in dangerous positions, the number of victors is few. They all protect themselves.

But there is more than enough to defeat the deficiency."

Tian Dandao: "But if you can protect yourself, your power can still be maintained. You will be in Shangdang, establish a county in Pingyang, and appoint officials and brave generals to take charge of them. Anyi is broken, but it will be revived with Zhang Lu, and it will be strong again with Baiqi."

"Kuang Pingyang, the homeland of Han, has been in business for several generations; Shangdang is as high as the sky. In strange and dangerous places, there must be strong and prosperous people."

Han Ping knew that it was difficult to find such talents, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "I would like to teach you!"

A few days later, envoys from Qi came to report the funeral: King Qi passed away, he was posthumously crowned Prince Jian, and Prince Jian ascended the throne. Tian Dan immediately returned to Qi to attend the funeral. The troops sent by Zhao to guard South Korea returned home, led by General Zhao. South Korea also sent envoys to express condolences.

Other princes, except Yan State, also sent envoys to express their condolences.

The New Year arrived in a few days, and despite the loss of the city and land, the city of Zheng was still festive and lively without any hint of sadness. It seemed that Han Ping was the only one who was suffering, and he seemed out of place.

Shangdang originally had a county guard named Jin Pao. Although he is not an official, he is still competent. Especially since Shangdang guard is a hard worker and almost no one is competing for it, his position is quite secure; if it were someone else

Our county has lost such important cities as Shaoqu and Gaodu. Someone has long wanted to take him down and hold him accountable. At present, we only need to inform him to strengthen his defenses.

But Pingyang is different. This is the old capital of Korea. Every county has old Korean relatives, and the chief officials of each county are very knowledgeable. Sometimes they don't even look down on themselves. It's not easy to set up a county guard above them! Think about it. After much consideration, Han Ping could only go to King Shu Yangchengjun of Han.

Yangchengjun is the younger brother of the late king Liwang. He once served as a hostage in a vassal state, so he was named Yangchengjun. Yangchengjun's status is awkward, and everyone generally thinks that he is more capable, but he has never appeared in public and acted wisely to protect himself. But in The clan still has a certain reputation, and may be able to suppress those county guards.

After the New Year, Han Ping went to Yangchengjun and tried his best to persuade Yangchengjun to come out. After a lot of talking, Han Ping finally got Han Wang to agree to the establishment of Pingyang County. Yangchengjun took office slowly. .At this time, spring plowing was in full swing.

However, the problem arises. The way out of Pingyang has been completely controlled by the Qin army. How can Jun Yangcheng reach Pingyang? Jun Yangcheng has his own method: go directly to the Qin State and make it clear that he has been appointed as the governor of Pingyang County. I went to Pingyang to take office and asked the Qin State to allow the country to pass through the country in the spirit of alliance.

This request made Zhang Lu dumbfounded. The establishment of a county in Pingyang was obviously in response to Qin's war preparations. Logically speaking, it would not be too much for Qin to detain Yang Chengjun. However, Zhang Lu saw from Yang Chengjun's reaction that, first of all, South Korea There was no thought of regaining the lost territory; secondly, Yang Chengjun no longer posed a threat. So he did not embarrass him and sent a hundred people to escort him through Hedong to Pingyang to take office! People in Pingyang counties saw that the newly appointed Pingyang Shou was actually appointed by Qin. When the military escort arrived, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment: Could it be that Han and Qin have reconciled?

After Yang Chengjun took office, he immediately summoned the county guards and ordered them to strengthen preparations for war, use the leisure time to train soldiers, strengthen troops and horses, and store grass and grain.

Bai Qi, the governor of Hedong, sent an envoy to question Yang Chengjun: "Pingyang is adjacent to Hedong, and they continue to practice martial arts. Who will they attack?"

Yang Chengjun replied: "The world is not at peace, and thieves are everywhere. How dare you not organize your army and use force to protect your head!"

Bai Qi sent an ultimatum: "Yang Ping is practicing martial arts, Hedong will not dare to follow!"

Yang Chengjun was noncommittal. So from Pishi to Zhi County and even Gaodu, Bai Qi held many county-level martial arts performances in Hedong, and the training centered on the cities did not stop for a day.

It was difficult to pass on the news about Pingyang. Yangchengjun could not get instructions from the King of Han, nor could he pass on his own situation. He could only do his best to prepare for war. But as the martial arts exercise deepened, Lian Pingyang's The people can all see that the training of the Han army and the Qin army are not at the same level. Hedong can organize exercises at the county level or even several counties, but Pingyang cannot do exercises at the city level.

After the New Year, Bai Qi directly sent a document to Yang Chengjun: "You and your ministers are practicing martial arts together. Now I want to have a quick fight with you. Is it possible?"

Yangchengjun quickly ordered all counties to prepare for war.

However, in the territory of Hedong, soldiers from various counties were concentrated day and night in the areas of Anyi and Zuoyi; while Yangchengjun gathered a large number of soldiers to Xintian.

Due to the convenience of the Fen River and the Hu River, the soldiers in Pingyang gathered much faster than the Qin people. Yangchengjun decided to take a preemptive strike and sent troops to surround Quwo, not far from Xintian. At the same time, he controlled a powerful team in Jiangshan Mountain pass, blocking possible reinforcements from the direction of Anyi.

However, just as Xintian was watching the movements of the Anyi army with vigilance, Bai Qi appeared on the edge of the Taihang Mountains. He led the troops mobilized from Gaodu out of Shaoshui and down the mountain to Yicheng. In addition to the troops in Gaodu,

In addition to the soldiers and people who migrated from other places after the occupation, there were also 30,000 prisoners who had built roads, and the total force reached 40,000 to 50,000. Since all the strong soldiers in Yicheng were concentrated in Xintian, Bai Qi almost took it without a fight.

Yicheng and Xingcheng rushed towards Xintian along the Huishui River.

Seeing this situation, Yang Chengjun knew that he had been deceived by Bai Qi again. Anyi was just used to attract his attention. Gaodu, blocked by mountains and rivers and out of sight, was Bai Qi's main attacking force! Yang Cheng

Jun was completely in despair. Not only was Quwo not captured, but it became a big walnut that could not be swallowed. It choked the besieging Korean army and could not move. Anyi's troops also restrained the Korean army in Xintian; the Qin army in Zhi County also

Reinforcements came and the Korean army concentrated in Xintian was not only attacked by superior forces, but also the position was very unfavorable and unable to adjust.

Bai Qi swept from Quwo to Xintian and fought all the way to the shore of Fen River, completely surrounding the Korean army that had gathered in Xintian. The Korean army, which had lost its fighting spirit, quickly collapsed and became the prey of the Qin army, and most of them were killed.

In the wild, a small number of troops fled back to Xintian and stayed there.

Bai Qi did not think too much about occupying the cities, but tried his best to kill and injure the Korean army. Even so, many cities surrendered without fighting. In the end, the Qin army captured nine cities, including Xingcheng, and beheaded five

Wan Pingyang has become a turtle in the urn! Countless Qin soldiers received titles because of this battle.

Just as Bai Qi was mobilizing his troops to besiege Xintian, Yangchengjun sent an envoy to sue for peace, willing to give up the cities in Yicheng and Jiangcheng counties and cease war with Qin. Bai Qi requested that since Xintian was not far from Quwo,

If there is a threat to Quwo, South Korea must destroy Xintian City. The Qin people will not send troops to occupy it, but the Koreans are not allowed to garrison here.

The results of this battle were unprecedented in recent years. The Qin army swept away the frustration of the battle and reestablished its invincible position!

However, the joy of victory was diluted by Ranghou's death... Qin Xiangfu sent people to announce to various places: Ranghou passed away in Tao. Lord Jingyang was sent to Taoyi to preside over Ranghou's funeral ceremony. Three months later, Ranghou

Buried. Tao was renamed Tao Commandery, with Lord Jingyang as Tao's guardian. One of the public servants brought by Marquis Rang, Zhang Tang, was appointed as Tao Wei, and another public servant, Cai Xian, was appointed as Tao Cheng.

When Marquis Rang was buried, all the princes in the world sent envoys to express their condolences. Chu, Qi, Wei, South Korea, and Zhao, who had been killed by Wei Ran and shed blood, all sent their close ministers to Tao to express their condolences on behalf of the princes and kings.

.As long as you are a hero, you will eventually return to the loess!

Bai Qi was unable to go to Tao to express his condolences. He had to prepare for next year's war. Although Bai Qi was already old, he still walked vigorously through the mountains and rivers of Hedong counties. However, he had to make sacrifices everywhere he went.

He was sitting in front of his desk, wearing mourning clothes, and worshiping in the distance. His ears were still ringing with the conversation when he finally met Marquis Rang:

"You will govern Hedong, and I will govern Tao. I will be ten years old, which one is good?"

"You are still like a king."

"Ru Guang Hedong, I Guang Tao, they are about ten years old, which one is Guang Tao?"

"The prince has not risen yet."

"Is it okay to make an appointment with you for ten years to try it out?"
