Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-11-23

These people in Handan City who were about to clash with Qin soldiers in the city were indeed instigated by some people.The relatives of these people were imprisoned under Wang Li's order. Apart from worrying that their relatives would be harmed by the Qin people, they also feared that they would also be implicated. Thinking of the harsh punishments the Qin people had always used, these people felt that they were waiting to die. It is better to rise up and resist.But because of their limited strength, they thought of inciting the people in the city to fight against the Qin army.

The people in the city were very happy to see all the powerful people being arrested in the past, but after hearing some people say that the Qin people might be harmful to the people in Handan City, they realized that they were Zhao people after all. , the Qin people are likely to take the opportunity to deal with themselves, and some people say that there are not many Qin troops in the city, and there are tens of thousands of Chu troops outside. As long as the city gates are opened and they come in, the people will be able to save their lives.So for the sake of their own safety, these common people all participated in this riot.

The Qin army everywhere in the city was afraid that it would cause more turmoil at the beginning, so they arrested these corrupt people first. Unexpectedly, this made the people more convinced of the judgment in their hearts, and made more people turn to these Qin soldiers. The sergeant rushed up.Some soldiers themselves had prejudices against the Zhao people, thinking that the remnants of the six kingdoms had the intention of destroying Qin. Now they saw that they wanted to attack themselves, and they couldn't bear it anymore. They also raised their weapons and fought with the people.

These common people came to the street only at the instigation of others, and most of them didn't even have a stick in their hands. When they saw Qin Jun holding a weapon, they rushed up, and they were so frightened that they turned their heads and ran away.This run collided with the people behind. The people were in a state of confusion and stepped on each other for a while.Thousands of people huddled together here, and the shouts and screams spread far away. When Qin Bing saw this scene, he didn't know whether he should continue to kill, so he stood in the distance.

When Wang Li and others arrived, they saw this tragic scene.Zhao Ba saw that dozens of people had fallen on the ground, because the crowd was already in chaos, so no one saw people lying on the ground, and when thousands of feet stomped on the ground, those who fell on the ground were trampled alive died. "General, this situation must be brought under control immediately. Otherwise, once the people in the city wake up, they will blame you for this hatred, and my words will have no effect at that time."

Wang Li thought it was right, he hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to go forward with short knives and shields, drove the people away with the back of their knives, and dispersed them with shields, and at the same time ordered the soldiers with loud voices to shout loudly, It shows that Qin Jun didn't mean to hurt the people.At the beginning, the people could neither hear the voice nor believe what the Qin people said, but after the Qin army separated them and stabilized the situation, they stood there suspiciously, watching Wang Li and his soldiers.

Zhao Ba knew that it was up to him to come forward now, so he walked up to a high place and said loudly: "Do you all recognize me, Zhao Ba?" After seeing that all the people recognized him, he continued: "Everyone don't want to Instigated by others, I have already received news from General Wang that all this is a ruse to destroy the city that the Chu people outside the city have come up with. In fact, they want to use everyone's hands to capture Handan City, so everyone should stop There was a commotion. And don’t worry, the imprisoned general Wang has decided to release them, and the injured people here will also receive compensation. As long as everyone is willing to believe in me, Zhao Ba, please go back, the soldiers still have to go to the city To protect it."

Seeing that it was Zhao Ba, who has always been famous in the city, many people believed it a little bit, but some people seemed to be unconvinced and asked, "How do you know that these Qin people are not telling lies? It doesn't hurt us if people come in."

When Wang Li heard the words, he was about to open his mouth to reprimand him, but Zhao Ba said before him: "You can lie in the army. And everyone has seen it. If these soldiers didn't come up to disperse you just now, there might be more Many people died here. As for the Chu people, don’t forget that just over a year ago, our Zhao army sent troops to attack the back of the Chu army in order to help the Qi people, making it impossible for them to destroy I think the Chu people should hate me and the Zhao people to the bone, if we open the city gate and let them enter the city, our fate will probably be a hundred times worse than it is now."

The people felt that what he said was reasonable for a moment, and some people began to back away.Seeing someone doing this, some vacillating people also retreated. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, those who provoked the matter asked anxiously: "Zhao Ba, are you sure that the people of Qin will not?" Are you going to settle accounts with us? And will our relatives really be released?"

Seeing that the people were slowly dispersing, Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief, and he raised his voice and said, "This general will issue a military order here, and before sunset today, all those who were wrongfully arrested will be released back. "

The Chu army outside the city was ready to go. Unexpectedly, after waiting for half a day, not only did the people in the city not help them open the city gate, but they only waited until the city became quiet.This was beyond the expectations of the Chu people outside the city, and they hurried back to the camp to report the change to the two of Xiang Zhuang.Xiang Zhuang was also very puzzled, looked at Xiang He and asked: "His brother, you said that the people in Handan City would riot inside and open the door, why are they quiet now?"

Xiang He walked a few steps in the tent, and then said hesitantly: "I think there are only two possibilities, one is that the guards of Handan used force to temporarily suppress the turmoil, and the other is that he used some method Appease the emotions of the people in the city. If it is the former, I think Handan City may still be breached from the inside. Although it is controlled by them for a while, the more you suppress, the greater the resistance of the people will be, so we only need to Wait a few more days and you will see the city gate being opened from the inside. But if it is the latter... then we have to rely on our own troops to attack Handan City." He sighed.

Seeing that even Xianghe couldn't confirm the situation in the city, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but said anxiously: "Then what should we do? Should we attack or wait?"

Xiang He continued to walk around in the tent, until Xiang Zhuang was dazzled, he stopped and said: "I think you should order a team to attack the city first, and if the defenders in the city are not panicked, , and the defense of the city is successful, it means that the turmoil has been resolved by the defender, and then we must attack the city with a large army."

Xiang Zhuang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try to send 3000 troops to attack the city. Maybe the Qin army in that city was transferred to quell the unrest of the people in the city, and there are not many guards on the top of the city."

Those Chu soldiers were all ready to fight just now, but they didn't bring out the siege equipment.So now that Xiang Zhuang gave an order, they just moved all the equipment out and rushed down the city.

The Qin army at the top of the city saw the troops rushing out of the Chu army camp, and hurriedly ordered people to report to Wang Li in the city. They hit it head on.

As soon as the Chu people reached the bottom of the city, they were first shot by random arrows and managed to get close to the city wall. When they finally managed to get under the city wall, they were smashed by the wood and stones thrown from the city and hid in Tibet.Those Chu soldiers only thought that they could take down Handan City without bloodshed this time, so they were not mentally prepared. Now that the Qin army on the city is guarding it tightly, after attacking several times without even touching the edge of the city wall , they retreated.

This tentative attack ended soon, but the soldiers who went to the city to report to Wang Li had just arrived at the former Handan Prefect's Mansion, where Wang Li now lives.In the lobby, Wang Li was sitting opposite Zhao Ba. He poured a full glass of wine and said to Zhao Ba: "Brother Zhao, I would like to toast you. If it weren't for your help today, Handan City might be in danger .”

Zhao Ba raised his wine glass to signal and drank it down in one gulp.After he drank, Wang Li asked in a puzzled way: "But I don't understand something, and I hope Brother Zhao will clarify. I have brought people to arrest Brother Zhao, so I will kill some of your servants." It can be said that Brother Zhao was greatly offended, but why did you do me such a big favor afterwards?"

Zhao Ba smiled and said, "Actually, it's not you, nor the Qin army, but the tens of thousands of people in my Handan city. If they really open the city gate, I don't think the general will let them go. At that time, many people will die at the hands of the Qin army. Compared with their lives, what are the lives of my servants? And as I have just said, the Chu people and I have just married. It won’t be long before they make a grudge, maybe they won’t do anything to us now, but after they stabilize the situation, they will remember the account they made a few days ago, and then we will be in disaster.”

Only then did Wang Li nod his head knowingly: "So Brother Zhao thought so. Although he didn't really want to help me, I still accept your favor. And I will make up for your dead servant."

Zhao Ba just smiled and didn't say anything.

At this time, a person had strode in and said, "General, the Chu army has sent troops to attack the city. The guard at the top of the city has sent someone to report to the general."

"Sure enough, this is a conspiracy by the Chu people." Wang Li put his wine glass on the table, stood up and said, "I'll go to the top of the city to have a look."

Zhao Ba also stood up and said: "I will go with the general to have a look, after all, I am more familiar with Handan City."

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Li agreed with Zhao Ba to go with him. Perhaps after the incident just now, he already regarded Zhao Ba as one of his own.
