A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 89: Enemy on both sides, Qi State’s plan

Four hundred and thirty-two years of the Bai Kingdom
During the Three Kingdoms War between Qi, Bai, and Han, Qin attacked Chu from Lantian to Wuguan, and finally stopped due to Chu's resistance.

Four hundred and thirty-three years of the Bai Kingdom
Qin and Chu jointly attacked South Korea, and South Korea asked Bai Qi for help. After thinking about it, Duke Bai decided to help South Korea.

Qin came from Wucheng, and Chu came from Cai. The Han army defended Qin, the Bai army defended Chu, and the king of Qi sent troops from Yangdu to attack Chu.

The Qin army was led by Wei Yang and came from Wucheng, with 300,000 men; the Chu army was led by Xiang Ping and came from Shangcai, with 300,000 men.

South Korea, led by the King of Han himself, went north to defend Qin, with 300,000 soldiers; Bai army, led by Sun Tao, invaded Cai from Chenjun, with 200,000 people; Qi army, led by Tian Ji, invaded Chu from Yangdu, with 200,000 soldiers. One hundred thousand.

Unlike the armies of other countries, the Korean army is composed of newcomers, so its combat effectiveness depends entirely on equipment. Therefore, the Han army retreated all the way, and the Qin army soon attacked Yiyang. Seeing that if he retreated again, South Korea would perish, so he risked his life and went to the defense in person.

The Qin army attacked for three months but failed to defeat them, so they had to withdraw, but they did not give up the occupied Korean cities. The Qin army left 200,000 troops stationed in Shengchi to confront the Han army in Yiyang. After leaving his general behind, King Han returned to Xinzheng.

On the other side, the Chu army easily invaded Cai and occupied Shangcai. By the time they attacked Caiyang, the Bai army had already entered Caiyang and failed to capture it for two months. There was also news from home that the Qi army was already attacking Pi. The next step is to attack Zhongli.

Xiang Ping had no choice but to return to his army, leaving 100,000 troops to garrison Shangcai. He quickly gathered the 100,000 remaining troops in the country and headed for Zhongli. When the Qi army captured Pidi and walked to Zhongli City, they saw so many Chu troops under the city. They knew that the war in Korea was over, so they withdrew their troops, leaving 100,000 Qi troops to defend Pidi. The rest of the army returned to the country. .

At this point, South Korea has lost part of its territory and has to repay its debts, and there is almost no hope of rising again.

Wei Yang led his army back to the country, and Qin Xiaogong welcomed him happily. In view of the fact that Wei Yang had opened up a lot of land for the Qin State, Qin Xiaogong made Wei Yang a lord, and his title was Shang Jun.

Four hundred and thirty-four years of the Bai Kingdom
The Qin army and the Zhao army fought at Pishi and captured Zhao's general Wei Cuo.

In the same year, Qin Xiaogong died, and Huiwenjun, the son of Xiaogong, succeeded to the throne. As soon as Qin Huiwen came to the throne, he ordered Shang Yang to be killed. Because Shang Yang initially launched reforms in the Qin State, the laws could not be passed smoothly. At this time, the prince violated the ban.

Shang Yang said to Qin Xiaogong: "The reason why the law cannot be implemented is precisely because of the obstruction of the noble relatives. If you must implement the reform, punish the prince first. In this way, the noble relatives will not dare to break the law again. But you cannot use it against the prince. Tattoo punishment, so I think we should use tattoo punishment on his master!"

The prince's master was the elder brother of Qin Xiaogong. Qin Xiaogong did not want to execute his brother, but after Shang Yang continued to state his interests and for the sake of Qin's hegemony, he had no choice but to order the execution of the grand master.

Although the law was successfully implemented after this incident, many people, including the prince, were full of resentment towards Shang Yang, but due to the protection of Qin Xiaogong, they did not show it.

So when Lord Qin Huiwen came to the throne, the clan, nobles, officials and other people whose interests had been infringed by Shang Yang jointly asked Lord Huiwen to kill Shang Yang. Lord Huiwen also resented Shang Yang, so the order to kill Shang Yang was smoothly issued. .

Hui Wenjun had Shang Yang executed for his rebellion, and Shang Yang was forced to run away to his fief merchant. His servants advised him to go abroad.
Shang Yang did not want to give up the foundation he had built and did not want to evade the sanctions of the law, so he returned to Xianyang and accepted the trial. In the end, Shang Yang was executed by breaking his chariot into pieces. This criminal law is still a criminal law that Shang Yang personally introduced from other countries.

Although Shang Yang died, Hui Wenjun inherited everything about Shang Yang's reforms.

Four hundred and thirty-five years of the Bai Kingdom
Chu, Han, Zhao, and Shu sent people to pay homage to Lord Qin Huiwen.

Four hundred and thirty-sixth year of the Bai Kingdom
Emperor Zhou sent someone to congratulate Lord Qin Huiwen.

Four hundred and thirty-seven years of the Bai Kingdom
Qin Huiwenjun held the crowning ceremony.

The 439th year of the Bai Kingdom
Xi, a native of Yiyang, was the first Daliang Zao of Qin, and Qin submitted its credentials to South Korea.

Four hundred and forty years of the Bai Kingdom

South Korea ceded Yiyang to Qin, and Yiyang was renamed Ningqin.

Four hundred and forty-one years of the Bai Kingdom

Prince Han led troops to fight with the Korean army, captured the Korean general Long Jia, and beheaded 80,000 Korean soldiers. As a result, the Korean army became more afraid of the Qin army.

In the same year, the Zhao army attacked Bai Kingdom's Ye County. Bai Kingdom quickly organized an army to defend Ye County. Bai Gong Bai Rong decided that Gongsun Baibo would lead a 200,000 farming army to guard Handan, with Sun Tao as his deputy general. The young master Bai Ping led a standing army of 100,000 as a reserve force.

Ten days later, 200,000 troops arrived in Handan and began to complete the city defense. But on the second day, Zhao Jun came to the city. Four hundred thousand Zhao troops were densely displayed under Handan City. Soon, Handan was surrounded by water.

Uncle Bai looked at Zhao Jun in red and blue military uniforms outside the city, and said to Sun Tao, "General, what are your plans?"

Sun Tao said helplessly: "Gongsun, you can only use a variety of defense methods to defend the city. No strategy will work. It is better to wait for the 100,000 standing army of the young master, maybe we can relieve the siege."

Bai Rong learned that Zhao State had dispatched 400,000 troops, which was almost all the troops in the country. Why does Zhao have so many troops?

First, they occupied the Zhongshan Kingdom; second, they defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fan in several battles, leaving the Beirong temporarily unable to move south; third, after annexing half of the Wei Kingdom, they accepted a large amount of Wei's heritage; and finally, the Central Plains After many wars, Zhao State was recharging its strength. The leader of Zhao State is Zhao Yong, the son of Zhao Hou. He is only twenty-five years old this year, but he is quite famous in the country.

Bai Rong was about to ask Bai Ping to lead the standing army north to support Bai Bo. Suddenly, news came from the south that the Chu State was sending troops to attack Chen County. Bai Rong had no choice but to let Bai Ping lead his army to Chen to resist the Chu army.

On the other hand, Bai Rong quickly sent an envoy to Qi to ask the King of Qi to send reinforcements to rescue Handan.

Bai Ping arrived at Chen County in Chen County, and soon the Chu army also arrived at Chen. Bai Ping counted the banners of the Chu army and found that there were only 200,000 Chu troops. Obviously, Chu State had made an agreement with Zhao State, and it was just sending troops to contain Bai State's troops.

Sure enough, the Chu army only attacked the city a few times. When they found that they couldn't get any bargains, they cut down trees and built camps, making it look like a long-term siege.

When Bai Ping saw this, he immediately sent a message to Bai Rong about the situation here. Then he stood on the city wall, looking to the north, feeling very worried.

Soon, Zhao Jun took advantage of the fact that the White Army had not yet completed the city defense and immediately began to attack the city. The White army had no choice but to rush to meet the enemy.

Qi State, Linzi, Qi Palace.

"Qi and Bai have always been on good terms, and their friendship can even be traced back to the time of Duke Huan of Qi. More recently, the Qi and Bai armies jointly attacked South Korea. In that battle, our Bai soldiers all said that fighting with the Qi people was very enjoyable. I even hope to be able to be the same as Qi Guoyongxiu.

Now that the State of Zhao is brazenly launching an attack on the State of Bai, the scene where our two countries jointly helped the State of Zhongshan resist is still vivid in my mind. Although the State of Zhongshan is now dead, the friendship between our two countries still exists.

Bai and Qi are allies, and Qi and Zhao are feuding states. How can we not help our enemies when they attack our allies, or even help our enemies against our allies? If this is done, Qi will not do it to the whole world. I hope the king will think twice! "

King Qi Wei nodded, as if to express his agreement, and then said: "Your Majesty, please go down and rest first. How about I discuss it with all my dear friends and then give you an answer?"

Bai Shi saluted, and finally said: "Your Majesty, please think about it quickly. The military situation is very strong, so we can't wait too long!"

After hearing this, King Qi Wei repeatedly said yes. After seeing Bai Envoy go out, he looked at the ministers and said: "In your opinion, it is better for us, Qi State, to save Bai State, or it is better for us, Qi State, not to save Bai State." Woolen cloth?"

Zou Ji said: "It's better not to save him!"

Before King Qi Wei could ask why, a minister said: "As Bai Shi said just now, it is unethical not to save an ally when you see it being attacked. This is not good for our country of Qi, especially for you, the king." of."

King Qi Wei asked: "How to say?"

The minister replied: "Zhao has annexed Handan. What good does this do to Qi? Moreover, if Bai is rescued and troops are stationed in its strongholds, Bai will not be attacked and Zhao's army will be preserved."

Therefore, it is better to attack Quyang to the north to damage Zhao State. If Handan is occupied by Zhao Army, we can defeat Zhao State while Zhao Army is exhausted.

In addition, we also responded to the White Army's request for help, so that other countries cannot say that we, Qi State, did not help the White State, and we, Qi State, will not lose morality. "

After hearing this, King Wei of Qi said: "It's great goodness, just follow what Ai Qing said."

Then he summoned Bai Envoy and said that the Qi State would send troops to rescue him soon. Bai Envoy was very happy after hearing this and thanked King Qi Wei repeatedly. King Qi Wei smiled when he heard Bai Envoy's thanks.

At this time, the relationship between the Prime Minister Zou Ji and Qi State General Tian Ji was not good. At this time, someone said to Zou Ji:

"Why don't you plan to attack Zhao? Tian Ji will definitely serve as a general. If the victory is successful, it means your plan is correct;
If the war fails to win and Tian Ji does not die on the front line, then he will lead his army to retreat. By then, his fate will be in your hands! "

After hearing this, Zou Ji thought it was very reasonable, so he advised King Wei of Qi and sent Tian Ji to attack Shangquyang in the north.

A month later, Qi State sent troops to Quyang, Zhao State.

Zhao Yong, who was attacking Handan day and night, was a little flustered when he heard that Qi was heading to Quyang. At this time, a general said:

"Young master, there is no need to panic. Have you forgotten that the Zhongshan Kingdom built the Great Wall? The Qi army will definitely not be able to break the Great Wall. The Qi army went to Quyang, but did not come to Handan.

This proves that the Qi army does not actually want to rescue Handan, so you should rest assured and attack Handan with all your strength. When Handan is captured, with this military exploit, your position among the princes will be extremely stable, and you are afraid that you will not be able to succeed to the throne. The position of Marquis of Zhao? "

After hearing this, Zhao Yong felt relieved and continued to dispatch troops to attack Handan.
