Chapter 261 Han Xin and Long Qi

[Since September of the second year of the King of Han, Han Xin has led tens of thousands of soldiers. After several months of destruction of Wei, Ping Dynasty, overthrow of Zhao, and Dingyan, he almost completely conquered the entire area north of the Yellow River by himself.

But despite this, facing the last big eastern country-Qi, Han Xin still has a heart of fear.

At the same time, because of Xichu's covetousness, this battle of Qi is destined to be an extremely difficult battle.

In fact, the Battle of Qi was the last battle of Han Xin's Eastern Expedition to the Five Kingdoms, and it was also the most difficult battle he fought. 】

[Before sending troops to attack Qi, there was a small episode between Han Xin and Liu Bang. Perhaps it was because of this episode that a thorn in Liu Bang's heart was planted. 】

[In the winter and October of the third year of the King of Han, Han Xin and Zhang Er led an army to conquer the State of Zhao, and established Changshan Commandery and Dai Commandery in Zhao State.

Logically speaking, as the great general of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin, after he took full control of the Zhao Kingdom, he should return the governance power of the Zhao Kingdom to the Han regime and hand it over to Liu Bang for appointment.

At that time, the Han regime appointed Zhang Cang, the prefect of Changshan County, in advance before Han Xin captured Zhao Guo.

Later, when Zhang Cang assisted Han Xin in conquering Zhao, the central government of the Han regime took Zhang Cang as the "daily prime minister" and fully controlled the Daidi.

Therefore, according to the precedent of the previous attack and replacement, the newly captured Zhao State should be the "Minister Zhao" appointed by the Han regime.

But what is unexpected is that before the Han regime spoke, General Han Xin, the actual controller of Zhao State at the time, made his suggestion to the Han regime center in turn.

Han Xin's suggestion is very simple, that is, he hopes that Liu Bang will regain Zhao's status as a vassal state, and make Zhang Er, the former Changshan king, the new Zhao king.

Everyone knows that Zhang Er is Han Xin's confidant, so it is obvious that Zhao Di Han Xin does not want to give it to Liu Bang's complete control. 】

[Liu Bang didn't make Zhang Er the queen when Han Xin proposed to make Zhang Er the queen, so he immediately made Zhang Er the king, so from here we can see Liu Bang's hesitation and his secret dissatisfaction with Han Xin.

But because Xiang Yu was leading the Western Chu army to attack Xingyang frantically at this time, Liu Bang had no time to manage Zhao's affairs at all, so Han Xin could only further deepen his control over Zhao.

This is taboo!

I don't know if Han Xin has thought of this question, or maybe Han Xin has thought of it, but he doesn't take it to heart.

Han Xin's pride can be seen. 】

[At that time, the Western Chu army had been attacking Liu Bangjun frantically on the front line of Xingyang, causing Liu Bangjun to be beaten back to Guanzhong.

Then Liu Bang made a detour and went out of Wuguan to Nanyang County, but was beaten back to the front line of Chenggao.

And Han Xin and Zhang Erjun, who were far away in the country of Zhao, should have come to help, but for some reason, the reinforcements have not arrived for such a long time. 】

[The time came to June of the third year of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang, who finally broke through the encirclement of the Chu army again, finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he took Qingqi straight to the camp of Han Xin's army stationed in Zhao State, and directly seized the actual control of Han Xin's army.

Because Liu Bang came too fast, Han Xin and Zhang Er didn't react for a while.

In addition, many people under Han Xin's command at that time, such as Cao Can, the false left prime minister who was Liu Bang's confidant, had always been the nominal deputy commander of Han Xin's army, so Han Xin was deprived of military power by Liu Bang in an instant, but there was nothing he could do. 】

"Actually, Han Gaozu was also guarding against Han Xin. He should be very clear about Han Xin's character."

"Han Xin probably just doesn't want to hand over the land he has worked so hard to give to others so easily. He is still very loyal to Liu Bang, otherwise he would not reject the proposal of independence."

"You are thinking too simply. There are many other factors why Han Xin is not independent."

"Appreciate further details!"

"For example, grain and grass"

[Because Han Xin's previous main force was almost all transferred away by Han Wang Liu Bang, when Han Xin defeated Qi, except for some old generals who followed him, such as Cao Shen, Fu Kuan and others, only Guan Ying was left. the cavalry. 】

[The plan of cutting off the Chu army's food road and strategically encircling Xiang Yu was short of the third step to destroy Qi, so Liu Bang ordered Han Xin to lead the army to attack Qi from the east.

For this reason, Liu Bang adopted two methods: one was to order Han Xin to march in an attempt to subdue King Guang of Qi by force; the other was to order Li Shiqi to lobby King Guang of Qi. 】

[Facing the roaring approach of Han Xin's army, the Qi army quickly assembled a large army to launch an active defense in Lixia.

It should be said that the Qi army's defensive operations were quite well prepared, and they also used people including generals with foreign surnames Hua Wushang and clan generals Tian Jie.

Therefore, if there is no accident, with Han Xin's current military strength, it will not be easy to pass the calendar.

In fact, after Han Xinjun arrived near Lixia, he did not launch an attack immediately.

Of course, one of the reasons why Han Xinjun did not directly launch an attack was also because Li Shiqi, one of the military advisers under the command of Han King Liu Bang, went to Qi State at that time, and his purpose of going to Qi State was also very simple, that is to persuade Qi State to surrender . 】

[As for Li Shiqi, he actually succeeded.

At that time, Li Shiqi had talks with Qi Wang Tian Guang and Qi Xiang Tian Heng, and successfully reached a peace agreement. Then, as a show of sincerity, Qi Wang took the initiative to withdraw the Qi army's combat readiness under Li Xia.

And when Han Xin heard that Li Shiqi had said to descend to Qi State, he was ready to stop attacking Qi State, just like Han Xin recorded in "Han Shu Han Xin Biography": "Hearing that Li Shiqi, the king of Han, had said to descend to Qi State, I wanted to stop believing ". 】

[But why did the battle of Qi country break out again?

This is the most critical point, and it is also the most important argument for Kuai Che to persuade Han Xin to attack Qi:

"Scholar Li Sheng, Fu Shi lost his three-inch tongue, and went to more than [-] cities in Qi. The general had tens of thousands of people, and he went to more than [-] cities in Zhao. It is not as good as a Confucianism for a few years old!"

That is to say, even though Li Shiqi contributed a lot to persuading Qi Guo, he is still a person after all.

Although it was also the credit of an envoy to persuade Yan to surrender before, that envoy was sent by Han Xin, so no matter what, the merit of convincing Yan must be placed on Han Xin.

But this time the result was different. Although Li Shiqi was dispatched by Liu Bang, the King of Han, he was more likely to invite Ying to go there on his own initiative. Therefore, this time when Li Shiqi said that he would surrender to the Qi Kingdom, it can be said that he took the monstrous power by himself. achievement! 】

[Kui Tong is Han Xin's counselor. He finally suggested that Han Xin attack Qi for two reasons: first, Liu Bang ordered Han Xin to attack Qi, but did not order to stop attacking Qi; second, Han Xin captured Qi in one year. There are more than [-] cities in Zhao State, and Li Shiqi persuaded more than [-] cities in Qi State to surrender with his tongue. Generals, can you accept it?

In fact, this was not only Kuai Tong's idea, but also the will of the middle and high-level military and even the grassroots soldiers. Kuai Tong played more of a communicator. 】

[There is no doubt that Han Xin finally adopted Kuai Tong's suggestion in order to take care of the mood and future of his soldiers.

And this decision also led to two consequences:
Consequence one, Li Shiqi died tragically.

Because of his meritorious service in persuading surrender, Li Shiqi was the guest of Qi Wang Tianguang.

In order to express their sincere surrender, the soldiers of Qi State were withdrawn from the border.However, Han Xin took the opportunity to attack the city and fought all the way to Linzi. Tian Guang was deeply deceived, so he cooked Li Shiqi to death when he fled.

The second consequence is to reverse the situation between Chu and Han.

After Qi Wang Tianguang fled to Gaomi, he sent someone to Chu for help.

When Xiang Yu besieged Liu Bang, he sent General Long Qie to rescue Qi State. This can be said to be a strategic decisive battle between Han and Chu.

However, neither Liu Bang nor Xiang Yu participated in this strategic decisive battle.

Han Xin and Long Qi, on behalf of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, started a decisive battle between Han and Chu in advance! 】
