Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 165, Han Wei attacked Chu, Lian Po's awakening

Looking at Yinghan and the others who left, Han Fei felt infinitely emotional, and asked Ziyou
"Junior brother, do you want them to govern the place as representatives of the clan and win the hearts of the people?"

"This is also a way to try. Use the clan as a representative to stabilize the place. No matter how they govern, as long as they treat the people well, let the people have enough food, and don't be bullied casually, they will not rebel again." Zi Zi lobbyist said.

The common people have always been the easiest to satisfy. As long as they are fed, they will not be bullied. Who is willing to take the risk of beheading to rebel?On the contrary, in the uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty, even though Qin II made the people of the Qin Dynasty miserable and the court dilapidated, the common people took the initiative to revolt. Basically, it was the elders of the Six Kingdoms who incited the common people.

"It's really hard to imagine how you persuaded these clan disciples to give up the pampered life and walk on the land of Qin step by step on your own footsteps. To see the survival of the people is to experience their lives." Han It is not said that it is easy to go from thrift to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. This truth has never changed.

"I didn't try to persuade them. I just proposed this idea. They went there voluntarily. Neither the king of Qin nor the clan forced them. The disciples of the clan have lost their blood, and now there is a way for them to realize their blood, so they will naturally take the initiative to do it." Ziyou said.

"It's still unimaginable, as if everything becomes so easy in your hands." Han Fei looked at Ziyou and said with a complicated expression. He thought that if Ziyou helped South Korea, South Korea would definitely become prosperous and strong, but in this world If there is no if, South Korea is too weak, so weak that Ziyou needs to delay realizing his goal by an unknown number of years.

"I'm not talking about these things today. I can't live up to this fine wine." Ziyou picked up the wine and said, today is to relax, not to listen to Han Fei's emotion.

"That's right, brother Han Fei, what are you thinking so much about? There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain." Jing Ke also said.

Han Fei smiled and stopped saying these words, and the three of them started bragging and chatting. When Xue Nu, Concubine Yan, and Yan Lingji arrived, the three of them were already drunk. Looking at Ziyou's appearance, the three of them had no choice but to let Mo Ya brought people to pick them up, and took Han Fei and Jing Ke back together.

Seven days passed after such a peaceful time, and the funeral of King Xiong Wan of Chu was also completed. When the new king Xiong Han came to the throne, Li Yuan sent someone to kill Lord Chunshen, and quickly took control of the government, becoming the king of Chu. The most powerful courtier.

Just when Li Yuan was about to feel the feelings of a powerful minister, Wei Guo and South Korea declared war on Chu State. In the name of killing Li Yuan to avenge Chunshen Lord, the two joined forces with 15 troops and formed an alliance to attack Chu State. , Lian Po and Wei Zhuang are in command, Lian Po is the commander of the coalition army, and Wei Zhuang is the vanguard.

For a time, the two countries of Han and Wei broke through five cities on the border of Chu State, and the Chu army fled for a while relying on the only remaining Wei soldiers and crossbowmen. The status of the army has also gradually risen, and the situation is much better than before. The army leaders who stayed in the country also began to move closer to Weizhuang, wanting to go to the battlefield to exchange some military merits.

In the large tent of the Korean-Wei coalition forces, Lian Po looked at the indifferent Wei Zhuang who was dealing with the military newspapers from South Korea. After these days of contact, Lian Po also had a slight change in Wei Zhuang. Attention, but he and Gai Nie can only say that everyone was stunned, thinking that this is the worst class of Guigu disciples, including Lian Po, who also thinks so, but in the past few days, Lian Po discovered that Wei Zhuang is not Rumors are so useless, at least it is useful to be a vanguard. Personal force is extremely strong. Every battle must first kill the opponent's general under the sword. The ability to use troops is also remarkable.

"Are you interested in learning how to lead the army with me?" Lian Po looked at Wei Zhuang and asked, Wei Zhuang is indeed a piece of rough jade, but lacks of carving.

"I studied under Guigu, and I didn't expect to join the army." Wei Zhuang shook his head and said.

Looking at Wei Zhuang's resolute eyes, Lian Po understood that Wei Zhuang would not worship him as a teacher, so he said
"It's a pity, you are a piece of jade in the rough, but there is still a lack of refinement. If there is anything you don't understand these days, just ask me, and I will answer you as much as possible."

Lian Po's eyes are full of pity, his art of war is destined to be inherited by no one, Lian Po looked to the north and said

"Whether you are a general, a prime minister, or something else, you must be calm and not impulsive, especially in the face of national affairs, personal honor and disgrace are nothing, I hope you can calm down in the future."

Although Wei Zhuang treats people with a cold face and looks like an extremely calm person, how can a young man in his 20s be calm enough? .

"I know." Wei Zhuang said lightly.

"Chu will react immediately, how do you think Xiang Yan will counterattack?" Lian Po asked while looking at the map.

Wei Zhuang went to the map and looked at the map of Chu State and said

"Xiang Yan is a famous general. Now the internal affairs of the Chu Kingdom are unstable, and most of the troops are on the border of Chu and Qin. Xiang Yan will most likely set out from Juyang with Shouchun's defenders to confront us and stifle our offensive. Reinforcements are coming."

The reason why they went down to five cities in a row was because of surprise and quick decision. The army of Chu State did not withdraw from the border of Qin and Chu. The actions of Qin State in Nanjun before made Chu State think that Qin State was going to attack Chu State, so the elite army They are all on the border of Qin and Chu, so Han Wei was given a chance to rush forward quickly.

What Wei Zhuang wanted was to take as many cities as possible close to the border between Han and Wei, relying on the state of Chu not yet reacting, so as to expand the territory and land for South Korea in exchange for strategic depth and population land. Starting from the current army, the current army has been tailored.

Although there is Wei Guo in the middle of Han and Chu, South Korea has reached an agreement with Wei Guo to exchange Chen Suiyang and other places for Xu Shangcai and other places. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. As long as the land exchange is profitable, no one will refuse. .

"Then what do you think should be done? Soldiers are tricky. I led 1 people to march in a hurry and set up an ambush around Juyang." Wei Zhuang said.

"You are too young. If I want Xiang Yan, I will stick to Juyang. First of all, the field battle is not good for the small number of Chu troops, and there are Wei soldiers and crossbowmen. The Chu army has no advantage in field battles. Gaohe, Juyang City Deep enough to hang on and hold us back.

But fighting does not necessarily depend on the battlefield. The court is more terrifying than the enemy army. The civil affairs of Chu State were originally divided equally between Chun Shenjun and Qu Jingzhao's three clans. But after Chun Shenjun died, the Chu army now completely relies on Qu Jingzhao's three clans for supplies. Pengcheng still has at least [-] defenders, and the defender is Jing Yuan.

I am Xiang Yan, I will ask Jing Yuan to support Suiyang, and wait until the state of Chu on the border of Qin and Chu withdraws, thus besieging us on three sides. Although it gives us a chance to breathe, it will ensure the greatest possible victory in terms of logistics and army numbers. Can achieve this victory more steadily. " Lian Po said.

In the battle of Changping, Lian Po lost in the court and logistics supply. At the beginning, Qin and Zhao put their future on the battle of Changping. In the end, the logistics and domestic food and grass support of the two countries actually bottomed out. Yes, especially Qin. After all, the battlefield is in Zhao, and Qin consumes more food than Zhao. The next thing to compete is the trust of the monarch and the court.

Obviously Zhao Guo lost, Zhao Wang couldn't bear the pressure, and finally changed generals, and Qin Guo, King Qin Zhaoxiang supported the Qin army with all the power of the whole country, but what about Zhao Guo?In fact, the dignitaries headed by Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng still have food, but because of the suspicion of the monarch, these people dare not donate food. It's more about logistics and the trust of the monarch.

"Giving credit for the support of Qu Jingzhao's clan? It seems that this kind of thing happens everywhere." Wei Zhuang said coldly.

"I was as disdainful as you at the beginning, but now I understand that this is not a humiliation, but a conspiracy of the court. If you can, be a pure general and don't be contaminated by court battles. Even Bai Qi at the beginning cannot be avoided. He was forced to die because of a power struggle," Lian Po said.

Leaving Zhao Guo and staying in Wei Guo these years, Lian Po has seen a lot and understood a lot. Suddenly he felt how ridiculous he was before. How ridiculous it is to be the left minister of the court but still want to maintain the independence of a general. At the same time, Lian Po also missed his old partner, Lin Xiangru, only when he was there, he didn't have to worry about the pressure from the court, and fought wantonly on the battlefield.

"Some things can't be avoided if you want to. Instead of waiting for the disaster to come, it's better to kill the creator of the disaster." Wei Zhuang said.

Lian Po looked at Wei Zhuang and said nothing. He had never experienced Wei Zhuang's mentality of a young man, and he didn't think about reminding Wei Zhuang that only he had experienced this kind of thing before he knew what to do.

Seeing that Lian Po was silent, Wei Zhuang said
"Do I need to lead troops to Suiyang now to prevent Pengcheng's support?"

"No need, Jing Yuan is just trash. These [-] soldiers are the foundation of the Jing family. He doesn't dare to attack easily. He will only come to take credit for it when Xiang Yan defeats us." Lian Po said, "What we have to guard against now is Qin. The reinforcements on the border of Chu are the elite of Chu."

"What about Qin State? According to Qin Guodong's idea, now we will try our best to weaken the strength of all countries, especially Chu State and Zhao State. Will they let such a good opportunity go? And I heard that the left minister of Qin State, Lord Changping Now I am in charge of quelling the civil uprising in Nanjun." Wei Zhuang asked.

"Because the generals should never pin their hopes on what may happen, the first country Qin Guodong will attack is South Korea. Thinking about it this way, do you think Qin will attack Chu? Even if it wants to fight, it will be between Xiang Yan and Xiang Yan." When we are fighting fiercely." Lian Po said.

Wei Zhuang stopped talking, waiting for Lian Po's arrangement.

Lian Po said, "Now you lead your people to Pingxing area, and make an intention to attack Pingxing, but you must make an intention on the way to Shouchun. I will let you divide 3 troops to attack the father of the city and force Xiang Yan. Divide up, only in this way will we have a chance of winning."

Wei Zhuang glanced at Lian Po, Lian Po's move was the same as the just-concluded Qin-Zhao War, it was a test of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

The 15 army immediately divided into three parts. Wei Zhuang led 3 troops to attack Pingxing, and another led 3 troops to attack Chengfu. At this time, Xiang Yan, who was stationed in Juyang, looked at Lian Po's division of troops and secretly cursed Lian Po.

"We are the ones who are passive now, especially Chengfu." Fan Zeng said looking at the map. Chengfu is the fiefdom of the Qu family among Qu Jingzhao's three clans, and it is also where the Qu family's ancestral hall is located. Most of the Qu family members live in Chengfu , now that Lian Po sent people to attack the father of the city, the Qu family would definitely not sit idly by, they had to go to support, otherwise the Qu family would unite with Jing Zhao, and the three clans would attack together, let alone want to win this battle, let’s talk about how to defend it first Ju Yang.

"When will Lian Po do this?" Xiang Yan said in a deep voice. He didn't even have to think about the order from the court tonight, asking him to divide his troops to support the father of the city. Now that the new king of the court of Chu is young, Li Yuan controls the government, and in order to stabilize his position, he will definitely agree to Qu Jingzhao's suggestion to divide his troops. For the first time, Xiang Yan felt that the court of Chu State needs a wise enough monarch to preside over it, otherwise he will always be restrained everywhere the point.

Qu Jingzhao, as a big family of the Chu Kingdom, has always wanted to gradually grasp the court of the Chu Kingdom, but there are two biggest stumbling blocks for them to control the court. The first is Lord Chunshen, but this was killed by Li Yuan. I almost laughed out loud, the second one is Xiang Yan, the general who controls nearly half of Chu's army.

Although the king of Chu, Xiongwan, is fatuous, he did a good job of balancing the court. Before that, Xiang Yan was in charge of military power, Qu Jingzhao was in charge of civil affairs, and Chunshen Jun was in charge of mediation. At the same time, both the military and the government were involved, and a stable situation was reached. balance.

It's a pity that all of this was destroyed by Li Yuan. Xiang Yan knew that he was the biggest enemy of the three clans now, and he must have a Chu king who supported him, otherwise he would be plotted to death by the three clans sooner or later. Xiang Yan knew Xiong Han's identity, So it was impossible for him to choose Xiong Han and Li Yuan.

Previously, Xiang Yan was going to choose the young master Lingchu. Although he was mediocre, he was not favored, and his life was extremely difficult. If he supported Lingchu as the king of Chu, it would be like sending charcoal in a timely manner. He would definitely get the support of Lingchu, but he Before he had time to get in touch with Negium, Changping-jun's letter came. Between Negium and Changping-jun, all fools knew to choose Changping-jun.

Now Xiang Yan felt that it was time for Lord Changping to support him. Although the time had not yet come, Qin State sent troops now, so it was really not easy to resist Lian Po's army with the [-] soldiers in hand.

"Mr. Fan, it's time for that man to act. He said in his previous letter that he has already won the hearts of the people in Nanjun, and the Qin army led by Li Xin and Feng Wuze is ready to move." Xiang Yan said.

"Don't worry, general. If you stir up a civil uprising now, it will be of no use to Chu. Qin's [-] army is still there, and it can be subdued at any time. Why don't you wait until the [-] army attacks, cut off its food and grass, and catch the turtle in the urn?" , first ensure the stability of the border, and then let the army return to aid." Fan Zeng said.

"That's right, I'll write a letter to Mr. Changping." Xiang Yan said.
