General Qin

"Zhao Xie is dead?"

Zhao Tuo was quite surprised when the battle in Contemporary City came to an end, and when the Qin army completely controlled the city and sent up the statistics of the casualties and gains.

Zhao Xie.

He has an impression of this name.

This person is the king of Zhao State supported by Zhang Er and Chen Yu in history, Zhao Wangxie.

The reason why Zhao Tuo remembered Zhao Xie's name.

The main reason is that this person is the background board of the Battle of Julu. He is the king of Zhao who was besieged in Julu City by the Qin army led by Zhang Han and Wang Li, waiting for the rescue of the princes.

At the same time, Zhao Xie was also the loser who was defeated by the Han army in Han Xin's last stand.

As a double step for Xiang Yu to fight against Han Xin, Zhao Xie's name naturally impressed Zhao Tuo deeply.

It was such a nobleman of the Zhao family, one of the princes and kings in the late Qin Dynasty in history, who died in the battle of Daicheng today.

"Zhang Er, Han Cheng, Zhao Xie... This is the third prince of the end of Qin Dynasty who died. It really is a butterfly flapping its wings, which can blow a hurricane in the distance."

"My arrival has changed the fate of many people."

Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart.

"Xiaobang's sinful minister, Zhao Jing, pay homage to General Zhao, and ask the general not to kill the descendants of the city for the sake of being the same Zhao family."

Zhao Jing, the prime minister, was captured and brought to Zhao Tuo by Qin Zu. He immediately knelt on the ground and begged Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo said indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Since I told the captives that those who surrender will not be killed, they will naturally do what they say. As long as there is no more resistance in the city, the Qin army will never kill anyone indiscriminately." , and all the captives who cooperated with the surrender before will also be released.”

Hearing this, Zhao Jing heaved a sigh of relief, kowtowed and said: "The general is kind."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head, looked at the extremely young face in front of him, and whispered: "I didn't have the chance to meet the general in Xianyang in the past, but when I saw it today, the general and Zuo Siguo really looked alike. I still remember that when Zhao Guoshang was still alive, the general Young, I used to..."

Zhao Tuo frowned, knowing that this generation wanted to stir up his inner affection for the Zhao family, and as he talked, he might talk about the Zhao family.

Zhao Tuo interrupted with a sneer: "Don't say these things in front of me, Prime Minister."

"The Sheji of the Zhao family was already dead when Zhao Qian unjustly killed Li Mu and my parents. Outside there are enemies and good generals, and inside there are mediocre and treacherous ministers in power. Can Zhao Guoan survive?"

"Zhao Jia was lucky enough to escape from the land of Dai, but he was just lingering on his last breath. Qin's annihilation of the Dai today is also in accordance with the destiny. At this point, is it possible that the generation still can't see through it? Is it the general trend that Qin merged with the world?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jing fell silent.

Qin has already destroyed the five kingdoms, and the trend of unification has long been formed. Except for some people in Qi who deceive themselves, who among the wise men in the world can't see clearly?

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "Although Daicheng used to be the territory of Zhao State, it has now planted the flag of Qin State, and it is the land of Qin State. The Qin army will not indiscriminately kill here, but the people here must obey. Yes, if there is mutual discord, I am afraid that bad things will happen. The generation is a local honest elder, and he should comfort the people for us, so that there is no more trouble."

After Zhao Jinglue thought about it, he knew that Zhao Tuo wanted to use his reputation and prestige in the Dai country to appease the generation, and to cooperate with the rule of the Qin army, making him a so-called "generation traitor".

He didn't want to do this kind of thing.

But thinking about the tens of thousands of generations of civilians in the city, if no one is coordinating among them, a few hot-blooded people will clash with the Qin army, which may lead to a massacre, and it is unknown how many people will die.

I also thought of what Zhao Tuo said just now, that Qin's annexation of the world is the destiny and the general trend.

Zhao Jing hesitated a little, but finally cupped his hands and said: "Everything is under the general's arrangement."

"That's very good, please continue to lead the affairs of Daicheng."

Zhao Tuo's face relaxed a bit, and he said again: "I heard that Zhao Xie and other people who died were loyal people who would rather fight to the death than follow Zhao Jia to the north to collude with the Huns. The army will not kill, let the generation of this city take it and bury it."

Hearing this, Zhao Jing had tears in his eyes, and said in admiration, "Great General."

When the matter was settled, Zhao Tuo called Li Shang and asked him to take Zhao Jing down, and the guards of the Qin army would accompany him to inspect the Dai city, appease the Dai people in the city, and assist the Qin army to rule.

After finishing this matter, Zhao Tuo looked at the victory of this battle.

There were 3,000 guards in Daicheng, and nearly 1,000 of them lost their fighting spirit under the Qin army's heart attack tactics. After the battle, they fled down the city with the group of old and weak.

However, the remaining 2,000 people were all passionate dead soldiers like Zhao Xie, fighting desperately one by one, causing the Qin army's casualties to be not light, about 2,000.

But fortunately, the Qin army has military merit titles that can provide compensation. Even if a soldier dies in battle, he can also benefit future generations, and his death is not in vain.

"The dead soldiers in the strong city are really hard to break. If the attack on the heart doesn't work, if we want to take this generation of city, the casualties of our army may have to be doubled."

Zhao Tuo sighed softly. After counting the gains and arranging the affairs of Daicheng, the battle was completely over.

He immediately summoned his generals to discuss matters in the account, and began to discuss the next battle plan.

"According to what the Prime Minister said, Zhao Jia will go north this time around, gathering warriors from generation to generation along the way, and then go to the land of Gaoliu in the north to join the Huns going south."

"Although Dai is poor and poor, Zhao Jia may be able to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers. If Zhao Jia leads this Dai army to form an alliance with the Huns, our army wants to defeat them. , it’s a little difficult.”

"That's why I feel that the general can immediately send out chariots to pursue day and night, and capture and kill Zhao Jia before he joins the Huns. Even if he can escape, he can be driven all the way, so that Zhao Jia has no time to recruit. The army, to facilitate our army's subsequent battles."

As the general's staff, Li Shiqi spoke first and offered a plan.

Shejian agreed: "What Mr. Li said is that Zhao Jia thought Daicheng was dangerous and would resist our army for several days. He never thought that our army could take Daicheng in one day in this battle. He must not have run far. Our army The attack should be urgent or slow, and if you use chariots to pursue the attack, you may be able to stop it halfway."

Zhao Tuo thought about it for a while, and felt that this strategy was not a problem, and said: "In this case, I will send a general with five thousand chariots to chase after him, and I will lead the army myself."

As soon as the words fell, a strong man got up and begged for orders: "General, the failure of the raid on Daicheng earlier and Zhao Jia's escape are all the responsibility of the last general. Please also ask the general to let the last general go after him and make atonement!"

Zhao Tuo took a look and saw that the speaker was Meng Tian.

He smiled and said: "What is the crime of General Meng? I have already asked, the Korean Zhang Liang has already calculated that Zhao Jiahui failed, warned Zhao Jing, and asked Daicheng to take precautions in advance. The failure of the raid on Daicheng has nothing to do with General Meng , but since General Meng has asked for a fight, General Meng should go for this pursuit."

Meng Tian immediately said loudly: "The final general will not disgrace his mission!"

Looking at the back of Meng Tian taking orders to leave, Zhao Tuo smiled slightly.

Although Meng Tian had some quarrels with Zhao Tuo before, since he was convinced by Zhao Tuo's military power in the battle against Chu, he has been very upright.

Meng Tian followed Zhao Tuo this time, although he didn't speak much, he was very obedient. In addition, he was born as a general with very strong abilities. He has become a general under Zhao Tuo who can keep pace with Shejian. Even stronger than Shejian.

This time he was asked to lead the chariots to chase after Zhao Jia, Zhao Tuo was very relieved.

and.

Zhao Tuo secretly said in his heart: "Besides Zhao Jia and Yan Wangxi, besides the 2,000 generations of soldiers, there are still a thousand Huns cavalry. And Meng Tian was the nemesis of the Huns in history."

...

Anyang, tens of miles northwest of Daicheng.

There are two cities named Anyang in the north and south of Zhao State, one of which is near the big river in the south, which is the so-called "Yin Ruins".

The other one is in the northwest of Dai City. In the past, King Wuling of Zhao once entrusted his eldest son Zhao Zhang as Lord Dai Anyang, and the fief is here.

Today's Anyang town is full of voices and noises.

"Come out quickly, Your Majesty is recruiting to join the army to fight against the Qin people, how dare you refuse to follow!"

Two soldiers in full armor kicked open the wooden door in front of them, and pointed their swords at the man in the room.

Holding the dagger in his hand, the man protected the trembling old mother, wife and children behind him, and shouted: "If I fight against the Qin people, I am willing to die. But today the king colluded with the Huns and robbed the people of Daitu. My ancestors, my My father died at the hands of the barbarian, and I have a deep hatred with the barbarian, and An Neng is with the barbarian!"

"Can you go or not!"

"Don't go!"

Hearing this, the pawn was furious, and stepped forward to stab the man with a sword. The man fought back, but he wanted to protect the family behind him, and he used one against two. How could he be an opponent? Stabbed to death on the spot.

As soon as the man died, his mother rushed forward screaming, and was slashed to death by another man with a sword. Only the frightened man's wife and children were left hugging and crying bitterly.

The two soldiers looked at each other, but they didn't do any more killing, they just searched all the corn and wheat in the house when they left.

Scenes like this keep happening throughout Anyang-eup.

Dai Wang Jia abandoned Dai City and left with only 2,000 guards around him. This number is far from enough to fight against the Qin army, so he listened to Yan Wangxi's suggestion and went all the way through the cities of Dai, recruiting troops from the city. Men join the army.

But the land of Dai is different from the hometowns of Zhao State such as Handan and Shangdang further south.

Places like Handan and Shangdang border the Qin people, and every household in the local area has a great enmity with the Qin people. If they can fight the Qin people, let them join forces with the Hu people, and they are willing to do it.

But the land of Dai is a border county, which does not border on the Qin State, and has never been invaded by the Qin army. Even Dai people are rarely recruited to the south to fight against the Qin army. They are more of Zhao's frontier army. , Fight against the Hu people in the north.

Therefore, the generations may be influenced by Zhao Guo's anti-Qin thinking and be hostile to the Qin army, but in their bones they have no real blood feud with the Qin people.

The real enemy of modern times is the Hu Yi from the north. Whether it was fighting Hu Yi with King Wuling of Zhao, or following Li Mu to fight against the Huns, in short, every family has enmity against the Hu people.

Generations hate Hu people, just like the Handan people in the south hate Qin people.

Therefore, when Wang Jia led the Xiongnu cavalry in the city to forcibly conscript troops and even collect grain and fodder, he encountered great resistance.

What's more intensified the contradiction is that the thousand Hun cavalry were completely let go at this moment.

Taking advantage of the chaotic timing, they actually plundered the cities of Dai.

Snatching ironware, silk, and food, and even the Huns laughed grinningly and pushed the generation woman to the ground, trying to do something wrong...

Dai Wang Jia showed pain on his face, and said happily to King Yan: "The Huns are so rampant, how can we join hands with them? Why don't King Yan persuade the chief of the Huns to restrain his subordinates for my widow?"

"Dai Wang has only two or three thousand soldiers available, but the Huns have a thousand cavalry. They are not afraid of the king at all. Not to mention there is still a large army in the north. At this time, Dai Wang thinks that he can persuade Do you have to move?"

Yan Wangxi grinned and said, "It's okay to let them rob. After we leave, the Qin army will definitely occupy this place. All the utensils here will be owned by the Qin people, and all the food will be eaten by the Qin people."

"Nowadays when the Huns rob more food and go away, the Qin army will eat less food when they arrive here. If we burn all the food in the city that cannot be taken away before we leave, then the hungry people in the city will die. But it will all become a burden for the Qin army."

"Dai Wang must understand that the Huns are our allies!"
