Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-09-10

When the king of Chu learned that Zhang Han had brought 10 horses to attack Chu, he panicked.Zhang Han's reputation became great because of his defeat of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, so the king of Chu called his ministers to discuss countermeasures.Xiang Liang naturally asked for his order to lead the troops to resist the invading Qin soldiers, but how could Qu Dou and others who had finally suppressed his momentum allow him to take control of the military power of Chu again?So a group of people headed by Qu Dou asked the King of Chu, Song Yi, as the main general to resist, and the King of Chu was also worried that if Xiang Liang repelled the Qin people this time like last time, his prestige would plummet, In addition, he was worried about Xiang Liang's connection with Xiang Yu, who occupied Jiujiang, so he agreed to Qu Dou's proposal, instead of using Xiang Liang, he would lead troops to resist with Song Yi as the main general.

Qu Dou also knew that Song Yi's ability alone might not be able to completely resist the Qin army, so he thought of finding other helpers.Just as he was planning to find Zhao Guo, Qi Guo and Chu Guo allied forces to fight against the Qin army, he unexpectedly heard the news that the Zhao people were captured by the Qin people in Handan in just a few days.This made everyone in the state of Chu feel a great threat, and this gave Qu Dou a good excuse and opportunity to speak to the king of Chu, send people to the state of Qi to negotiate peace, and then join hands with him to resist the Qin army.After seeing the strength of Zhang Han's army, the king of Chu also doubted whether he could fight against Qin with his own strength, so he agreed with Qu Dou's opinion and sent envoys to Qi.

But what the Chu people didn't expect was that Zhang Han also sent envoys to Linzi, Qi State, and entered the city at the same time as them.In this way, the two teams of the two sides met in front of the Qi Palace without knowing each other. Seeing each other's approach, both sides showed expressions of disdain. So he stood there and waited for King Qi to summon him.

At this time, King Qi was discussing with his ministers whether to help the people of Chu. When he suddenly heard that the envoys of Qin and Chu appeared outside the palace at the same time, he was a little panicked, because he knew that the military strength of these two countries was stronger than that of Chu people. The state of Qi is so strong that no one can afford to offend it.Although they are anti-Qin now, they don't have the guts to start a war between the Qi State and the Qin people.After thinking for a long time, King Qi ordered the servants to call the two envoys into the hall at the same time.

The envoy of Qin didn't really want to come, but because it was a military order issued by Zhang Han, he came all the way. Seeing the fear in the eyes of all the Qi people in the hall, he felt that Zhang Han was too careful, so he He cupped his hands slightly towards the king of Qi and said, "King Qi, my general asked me to tell you a few words. This time, our [-] elite soldiers from the Great Qin Dynasty will be led by the great general Zhang Han himself. My general has always disliked excessive killings, so as long as Qi people have not participated in this battle, my general will not lead troops to fight against Qi, I hope you, King Qi, will carefully consider this matter, and don't make mistakes."

The envoy of Chu saw that the other party was threatening King Qi with such disrespectful words, so he felt that his mission was likely to be accomplished.So he went up to meet the king of Qi with the courtesy of a minister facing the king, and then said: "Chu and Qi have always lived in peace, and my king firmly refused to allow Xiang Yu's son to attack Qi that day. The power of the Chu State is too great, and my king has no choice but to be controlled by others. Fortunately, the soldiers of Qi State are brave and brave, and they were not defeated by Xiang Yu's son. My king is also happy for Qi State. And after Xiang Yu failed to attack Qi, my king has sent He was expelled from Kuaiji as a punishment, and I also hope that the king and all the lords in the hall will not bear this hatred on us Chu people."

All the courtiers in the hall heard that he first talked about the friendship between Qi and Chu, and then explained to the Qi people the reason for attacking Qi last time, and he was so polite. He tends to favor Chu envoys.King Qi also wondered whether he should join forces with the Chu people.

The envoy of Chu also noticed the change in everyone's attitude, so he continued to encourage his three-inch tongue and said: "The way of tyranny, the descendants of our six countries rose up one after another, and this is how Chu, Qi, Zhao, Zhang Chu and other countries came into being." , now Zhang Chu and Zhao are all destroyed by Qin, and only we are left, Qi and Chu. Think about it carefully, if I, Chu State, is also destroyed by Qin, then Qi State will inevitably suffer the same end. But if Qi and Chu unite, they can also repel the Qin army, and even counterattack the Qin people, so that not only can they protect themselves, but they can also avenge the ancestors of Qi who died decades ago, so why should your majesty hesitate?"

King Qi looked at the arrogant and domineering appearance of the Qin envoy, and then at the sincerity on the Chu envoy's face. He was still thinking about the difference between the two, and after a long time he said: "The two envoys have come from afar. Thank you for your hard work, please stay in the posthouse first, and I will give you an answer after discussing with the ministers."

The envoy of Qin said loudly: "Then hurry up, you give us the answer earlier, and our army of the Qin State can make preparations for battle sooner." Saying that, he went down to the palace.The envoy of Chu gave a salute and said, "I hope that the king will make a decision soon, otherwise the Qin army will fight our Chu army. If our Chu army really loses to the Qin people, I am afraid that the Qi people will also fight." You're in trouble." After saying these few words, he left the hall, and he was very ceremonial.

"In your opinion, what should we do?" King Qi asked after both of them had gone out.

At this time, all the courtiers had a unified idea, so they said in unison: "We think that our Qi country should send troops to help Chu fight against Qin."

"The ministers have just expressed the thoughts of the widow." King Qi laughed, "The people of Qin are more cruel than the people of Chu. Once they take down Chu, they will definitely not let Qi go. But Chu's manpower is weak. Even if they defeat the people of Qin, at that time they will probably have to fight against Qi again, well, the prime minister will personally go to see the envoy of Chu and tell him about Qi's decision."

So Qi's debate ended here, with Qi's decision to help Chu fight against Qin.

After a period of rest, Qin Jun had returned to Hanoi County from Handan City.This time, Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao, was captured in one fell swoop in a short period of time, making Zhang Han the prestige of the Qin army. In their view, as long as Zhang Han leads, any enemy will eventually be defeated by them. underfoot.The morale of the Qin army has reached a peak. Of course, the bad side is that their target has also reached its peak.So they were very puzzled by Zhang Han's sudden ordering of envoys to the state of Qi, because in their minds, even Qi Chulian might not be their opponent, so why bother to speak nicely to the people of Qi?

In the main tent, Zhang Han sat in the main seat, and his lower head sat Lu Jie, a military adviser who had been advising him for a long time.Lu Jie laughed and said, "It's not just the soldiers in our army, even the spies from Chu and Qi in our army should have no idea of ​​our intentions."

Zhang Han also had a look on his face and said: "To be honest, when you suggested that Zhang He should go to Qi State as an envoy, even I didn't believe it. Zhang He is only suitable for charging on the battlefield, and his tongue is not his specialty. And he is too proud, if he doesn't take the remnants of the Six Kingdoms into consideration, how can he persuade the king of Qi, and it may even backfire and let the people of Qi send troops to help Chu."

"Actually, my intention is just to paralyze the people of Chu. I think this news has been brought to Kuaiji by the secret work of Chu State, so they will definitely think that we have to wait for the people of Qi to reply before sending troops, but in fact ......:"

"But in fact, our army is ready to go. Tonight, I will lead a 5-man raid on Dongjun and catch them by surprise. When the Chu people react, I am afraid that Sishui County will fall into our hands." Zhang Han intercepted After saying Lu Jie's words, he looked at him and laughed loudly.

At this time, the two generals Bai Ban and Wang Li also walked into the tent.Bai Ban said: "General, I have already prepared the troops. Why don't I and General Wang go to attack Dongjun this time? As the commander-in-chief of the first army, it is safer for the general to stay in Hanoi County." Wang Li He also nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, this time I have discussed with Lu Junshi for a long time before deciding on a plan. It can be said that it is in case of failure. Moreover, as long as the army is led by me, the morale will be like a rainbow. I want to quickly take down a few The county is not only a command but also a very important part of the army. Your task here is not light. Not only must you be ready to support me at any time, but you must also send troops to occupy the city I have captured in the first place Stay, I don't have too many troops to defend the city." Zhang Han said relaxedly but without doubt.

Seeing Zhang Han's insistence, the two of Bai Ban couldn't say anything more, so they had to bow their hands to Zhang Han and said: "Then I wish the general the victory and take down Surabaya in one fell swoop."

As soon as it was dark, [-] elite soldiers left Hanoi County under the leadership of Zhang Han and went straight to Dong County.What they are going to do this time is a surprise attack, and they must be caught off guard before the enemy responds, so the marching speed is very fast, and there is no delay on the road.

At this time, Qin Jun finally showed that they were more than a step above the average peasants, and they rushed to the city of Dongjun in one night.It was just dawn at this time, and the soldiers guarding the city had just finished a night of hard work, their eyes could hardly be opened, but suddenly tens of thousands of horses appeared under the city.He rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking he was wrong.But then he was nailed to the top of the city by the crossbow arrows shot on the wall.

The sound of killing woke up the people and soldiers of Chu who hadn't woken up. When they walked out of their homes and tents, they saw the Qin army who had already boarded the city very easily and rushed up with weapons.They uttered a cry and fled in all directions. At this time, the soldiers of Chu State were no different from the common people. They were not psychologically prepared, and without the command of the officers, they were just a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

After killing and dispersing the crowd, the Qin soldiers who advanced into the city opened the city gate and let the army in. In just an hour, Dongjun fell into Zhang Han's hands.
