Chapter 431 Compared with her son, Han Ji obviously trusts experts more
When Ying Chengjiao first met Wang Liao, he couldn't believe it.
The wealthy old man in front of me with a protruding belly, a round and broad face, a fat body, and obviously overnourished, is he the Wang Liao recommended by Uncle Lu?
Wang Liao was from Wei.
His fame is not known to the world, but only to those in high positions.
In the 31st year of his reign, Wei Huaijun went to Wei, but Wei imprisoned and killed him, and replaced him with his younger brother, who was called Yuanjun.
In the fourth year of Wei Yuanjun's reign, Qin conquered the eastern territory of Wei, deposed Wei Yuanjun, moved him to Yewang, and appointed Wei Yuanjun's son Wei Junjiao as the monarch of Wei.
The reason why the First Emperor ordered the establishment of the King of Wei and did not destroy the ancestral temple of the Wei State was because the Wei State had a general named Wang Liao.
In the Battle of Feixia, Qin general Huan Xi attacked Zhao.
Li Mu, a famous general of the frontier defense, led his troops southward and commanded all the Zhao troops to fight against the Qin army. After he led the main force of the frontier defense army to join the Zhao army sent from Handan, led by Wang Liao, they confronted the Qin army near Yi'an.
Li Mu believed that the Qin army was too powerful to be attacked head-on, so he told the Zhao army to first build fortifications and defend themselves, then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
When the Qin army attacked Feixia of Zhao, the Zhao general Zhao Cong advised Li Mu to provide support, but Li Mu rejected the idea, believing that if the enemy attacked while we rescued, we would be controlled by others, which was a big taboo in military strategy.
Wang Liao examined the topography and made another appeal for support, saying that our army was weak and could not outlast Qin, so we should attack first.
He led 3,000 cavalrymen to attack and lure out the main force of the Qin army. The commander Li Mu could take the opportunity to lead the main force of the Zhao army to attack the Qin army camp and seize all the food and supplies.
Zhao Cong, who was jealous of Wang Liao being the commander, said:
"Wei is a small country with few people. You are a general in Wei and you only lead a few thousand soldiers. You only know how to fight a battle with a few thousand people. You don't know how to fight a battle with 100,000 people. How can 3,000 people lead out the 100,000-strong Qin army? The general has pointed out that this is a trap, but you didn't hear it? You still jumped into it. Do you think you are more powerful than the general?"
Wang Liao issued a military order, promising to give his head in exchange if he could not lure out the Qin army.
Li Mu followed him.
Wang Liao led 3,000 cavalrymen and asked them to tie tree trunks to their horses' tails with ropes. When the 3,000 cavalrymen ran out of Zhao's camp, smoke and dust billowed, covering the sky and the sun. The men and horses were barely visible in the dust, just like a 100,000-man army going out to war.
When the Qin general Huan Xi saw the Zhao army uniforms in the dust, he was overjoyed and mistakenly thought that the main force of the Zhao army was coming to engage in a head-on battle, so he mobilized his entire army to fight.
Wang Liao did not engage in battle, but turned his horse and fled. Considering that the Qin army might be prepared for an ambush, he did not dare to pursue them further, and fled with 3,000 Zhao troops on the flat plain where no ambush could be set.
This move dispelled Huan Xi's doubts, and he ordered all three armies to pursue the enemy without stopping. Zhao sent back its border general Li Mu to provide support, proving that it had no more strength left.
After the last of the Zhao army was destroyed, the State of Zhao was destroyed.
In Huan Xi's eyes, the smoke and dust represented his achievements in destroying Zhao, and he chased for three hundred miles.
Li Mu seized the opportunity and attacked the Qin army camp in one fell swoop, capturing all the remaining Qin troops and their baggage. He also deployed a part of his troops to block the retreating Qin army from the front.
After fierce fighting, the Qin army was defeated.
People only think that the Battle of Feixia was Li Mu's famous battle, but they don't know that it was also Wang Liao's famous battle.
After this battle, Wang Liao, who should have been credited with the greatest achievement, resigned from Zhao and returned to Wei, entrusting Lu Buwei, who was also from Wei, to report back to Qin.
As long as Qin left the ancestral temple to Wei, protected the country, and allowed Wei to survive, Wang Liao would not lead the troops of the six countries and would not be an enemy of Qin. If Qin was willing to grant Zhouxing and give Wei the 400-li land for its founding, Wang Liao would fight for Qin.
Qin only promised Wang Liao to protect the ancestral temple and the country, but Wei could not give him 400 li of land. So Wang Liao stayed in Wei for a long time and never left again.
After reading the letter written by Lu Buwei himself and the image of Wang Liao drawn on it, Ying Chengjiao was sure that it was the real Wang Liao. He stopped hesitating and respectfully performed the guarding ceremony.
This Wei Li was so flawless that even Fu Sheng, a great scholar who was most familiar with the rituals of various countries, could not find a single mistake.
Wang Liaodu was slightly moved, and stood up to return the salute, his expression becoming more intimate. Even in Wei State, few people could perform such a standard salute.
Ying Chengjiao hates red tape, but he is not incapable of it.
This set of complicated military rituals was performed for Wang Liao, naturally to win over Wang Liao's heart. He really wanted Wang Liao to go to war on his behalf.
He was scared, so scared that he was shaking.
Meng Ao died of illness because he was too worried about Meng Wu and Meng Tian. He didn't want his mother to follow in Meng Ao's footsteps.
Maybe I'm old enough.
Adding up his past and present lives, he is already over fifty years old.
Or maybe there have been too many and too big shocks recently.
First, the old general Meng Ao died on his sickbed.
The blood of the old soldiers is still wet, and their broken bodies can no longer gallop.
Finally, one night my hair turned three thousand feet long, and the sorrow of life after death was as long as it.
Or maybe it was just that Ying Chengqiu was a useless piece of mud and just liked to be bad.
He doesn't have any lofty ideals or ambitions, he's just looking for fun out of boredom.
He now wants to return to Xianyang and be a humble man like he used to be, giving orders remotely and leaving all matters to his retainers and subordinates.
The earth will continue to rotate even if everyone is gone. There is nothing that you have to do yourself.
Carrying out reforms in Han, uncovering Zhao Gao's conspiracy, and winning over the Han group, is there anyone else who can't do these things?
It is really impossible. Except for Ying Chengjiao, no one knows the original historical situation. Even if Ying Chengjiao gave instructions in person and wrote down all the key points for others to follow, it would not work.
If possible, Zhao Gao would have been killed by the First Emperor long ago.
In order to avoid being assimilated, Ying Chengjiao set up a rule in his heart that seemed extremely pedantic to others and only cared about himself, that killing people must have a reason.
The First Emperor did not have this title, so the word "tyrant" is not groundless.
But these things were automatically ignored by Ying Chengjiao's brain, and all thoughts that were not conducive to retreat were excluded.
Ying Chengjiao now even felt that it was not impossible to break the Yellow Emperor. If the martial arts were gone, then so what?
Even though his internal energy was completely dissipated, he was not paralyzed. His body was still healthy and he was still a strong man. He had not forgotten the boxing, kicking, sword and knife skills he had learned, and he could become a centurion in the army.
A Qin centurion who has the close protection of Yue women, the protection of Lu Goujian in the next yard, the protection of Jing Ke in the dark, and the protection of a pistol in his arms. In this era without hot weapons, who can hurt him?
With his useless martial arts, he was able to suppress the famous Concubine Yu and Empress Lu.
He also developed a bit of a perverted mentality. He would sing "The Song of Gaixia" and "The Great Wind Song" when charging to make the King of Chu and Emperor Taizu of Han feel somewhat involved.
If you didn’t ejaculate before the age of 27, you can ejaculate endlessly after the age of 27.
With Zhao Gongming's kidney-strengthening and sperm-producing pills, Xia Wuqie regulated his body. If he wanted, he could take Yue Nu, Lu Changxu, Dingxiang, Qingmei, Ping'er and other girls to eat spicy hot pot every day.
After picking domestic flowers, pick wild flowers.
The six palaces were filled with beauties, all of whom were members of the royal families of the six countries. Thanks to the fine clothing and food of Qin, the concubines and princesses had skin as smooth as the finest silk and as white as the first snow in winter.
He held a half-foot spear and poked twenty or thirty holes a day. He asked the concubines and princesses to play the hard flute first and then the soft flute.
Today, I will carry forward the legacy of Wei Wu and become a thief of Cao, and tomorrow I will explore the aesthetics of childhood and find a way to judge. I will put all those immature novels I wrote into reality and apply what I have learned. These exciting days are painful to think about.
The First Emperor said that he was not allowed to enter because he did not ask seriously. The two brothers were just joking. If he seriously asked to enter the Sixth Prince's Palace, the First Emperor would just ask him to take care of his health.
Mother wants to play with her grandsons and granddaughters, and she wants her son to have at least as many children as her older brother. No problem.
My elder brother is the emperor. He has to deal with a lot of political affairs every day, which takes up too much of his energy. Yet he still has nearly thirty children.
He was a boy with nothing to do, but as long as the tadpoles were healthy and could swim, it would not be a problem for him to organize two football teams a year.
All you need to do is break the Yellow Emperor and put down the sword. This deal is more profitable than Lu Shu's rare goods.
Ying Chengjiao forgot what he had said - no matter how sharp another person's sword is, it is not as sharp as one's own.
In order to achieve a better life, he spoke eloquently and told Wang Liao all the deployments in detail, from the marching route, to the mobilization of troops, to the management policy.
Wang Liao, who is nearly 70 years old and has a head of silver hair, listened carefully and asked questions from time to time. All his questions hit the point.
Half a day later, when the conversation was over, Ying Chengjiao looked at Wang Liao, who had a protruding belly, a round and broad face, and looked very different from ordinary military generals. He sighed inwardly that it was a pity that he was born in a small country.
Wang Liao was the first general who, after hearing the plan to attack the Huns, did not say that the plan was a fantasy, but instead kept thinking about it while deducing it on the sand table.
When Wang Liao stopped, Ying Chengjiao immediately bowed and said sincerely:
"The old general is more than ten times more capable than me. Please go to the desert on my behalf and fight for China."
Wang Liao shook his head, which made Ying Chengjiao's heart sank. Wang Liao, who was determined to guard a country alone, refused.
"Does the old general think that the boy's plan is not good enough?"
When Wang Liao planned military affairs, it was important to formulate strategies first and then fight.
Ying Chengjiao described the tactics in great detail, which was exactly what he wanted. If he had not been unimpressed by the tactics themselves, he should not have rejected Ying Chengjiao. Lü Buwei and Wang Liao had been friends for many years.
"Liao was entrusted by an old friend, so he should not decline. But in this battle, it will be difficult for Liao to be the commander, and he would miss the important event if he declined.
"First, when Liao was born, Wei was about to become a vassal state of Wei, bordering Qi to the east. The entire territory of Wei was located in the Central Plains. Liao was a general of Wei and had never been to the border counties. Liao's understanding of the Hu people was from Li Mu ten years ago. Liao had never been to the desert, so he didn't know how the Hu people fought and it was difficult for him to deal with them.
"Chang'an Jun was well prepared before the battle, which pleased Liao very much. However, the tactics Chang'an Jun prepared were something Liao had never heard of or seen before. It was the first time in his life that he knew about it, and it was quite an eye-opener. But Liao did not know whether he could win a great victory.
"Sun Tzu said: 'Know yourself and know the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.' Liao only knew himself but not the enemy.
“Secondly, Liao had just been to the martial arts arena, and most of the generals were soldiers from Chang’an Jun’s army.
"If an army is compared to a person, then the commander is the head and the generals are the spirit. Without the spirit to convey the head's thoughts, people can't do anything. This army can only exert its maximum combat power under the command of Chang'an Jun. With Liao coming, the combat power will be reduced by at least 20%.
"These two points are the reasons why Liao cannot be the chief general, and they are not excuses. The possibility of Liao leading the army to a great victory is less than 10%.
"If Lord Chang'an insists on having Liao as the commander, Liao can accept. If Liao dies in the desert, please ask Lord Chang'an to speak to his old friends on his behalf. Liao knows that this life is unrequited, so in the next life he will be a retainer of Lu Zi and repay his kindness in protecting his country and family."
Wang Liao's fat hand fell on the northwest of Qin State on the map, covering Shangjun, Longxi, Yanmen, Jiuyuan and other counties.
"If Chang'an Jun can get support from the northwest, Liao's chances of winning will increase to 80%. With the support of a great country, Liao should be able to know all about the Hu people within two months.
"Then we can plan ahead according to the temperament of the Hu people and defeat them. If we can get Li Mu here, our chances of winning will be close to ten percent.
"In military tactics, if you are weak, you should take risks; if you are strong, you should still follow the right path."
Ying Chengjiao was extremely disappointed.
Advancing steadily, step by step, and turning the desert into Qin territory, how could he not know that this was the right way?
But the current Qin State is not suitable. The conquered territory has not yet been digested. It will be about the same in five years.
He sent troops to the northwest because of his anger at the Huns' southward advance. In the early stages, he just wanted to use offense as defense to prevent the Huns from violating the border and ensure the development of the northwest.
On a whim, we can set up a near-term worry of foreign invasion to spur the Qin State not to be negligent.
Little Taotie is at the border county with 50,000 elite soldiers lined up, with all preparations complete, just waiting to launch a great victory.
This battle is to ensure the development of the Northwest and to obtain fiefdom for Little Taotie. How can we involve the Northwest?
At this moment, Ying Chengjiao finally realized the value of Huo Qubing's title of Champion Marquis.
Except for this daring young man who was granted the title of Lord of the Wolf and drank from the vast sea at the age of twenty, no matter how famous a general was, he would not fight if he left the city or county. Meng Tian, Li Mu, and Wang Liao were all the same .
Although Wang Liao spoke tactfully, Ying Chengjiao was not stupid and of course he could tell that Wang Liao was pessimistic.
"Can the old general lead an army of 10,000?"
At worst, I’ll just die... Wang Liao nodded.
"Can."
At this point, Ying Chengjiao got his third general.
Taotie Army, General Hou, your honorable late King Liao!
Ying Chengjiao, who still had the burden on his shoulders, didn't know how to tell his mother. He was really afraid that the next time he saw his mother, she would be bedridden.
But he was also afraid that if he left, the 50,000 Taotie troops would be annihilated in the desert. Those veterans who could have spent their old age in peace, but returned to the battlefield just because of a word from Ying Chengjiao, were all buried in a foreign land, unable to even return to their roots.
He sent Wang Liao away and locked himself in the house, trying to come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.
When he went to the desert, his mother became so worried that her hair turned white overnight because she was afraid that he would die there. Wouldn't it be good to let his mother know that he would not die?
He found Han Ji and demonstrated the power of the pistol; Yue Nu showed her peerless swordsmanship; three thousand followers swore to protect the safety of their master, formed a battle formation on the spot, and demonstrated their loyalty and strength; the training difficulty of the 50,000 Taotie soldiers was enough to shock the world, demonstrating their combat effectiveness.
However, it was of no use, and it did not dispel Han Ji's worries.
Han Ji's martial arts skills were not high, and she didn't even have internal strength. Her fighting power was just that of a Qin soldier. She rode a horse without stirrups or saddles, and she wouldn't fall off.
Han Ji didn't know how powerful Ying Chengjiao, Yue Nu, their three thousand retainers, and their fifty thousand Taotie troops were.
Just like in the eyes of an ant, a three-year-old child and a thirty-year-old adult are the same and can both be crushed to death with one foot.
In addition, in Han Ji's eyes, the generals who were very knowledgeable about military affairs were not optimistic, which made Han Ji even more worried.
Experts, Han Ji obviously trusts experts more than her son.
