Chapter 703: Fighting the Huns (7)

Who is Wei Man? He was originally a vassal (supreme leader) of Wei Joseon, who had surrendered when the Yan army invaded the peninsula a few years earlier, and later became the left general of the Yan state.

In the countries of the Chinese system, there are only four official generals in the east, south, west, and north, and the rest of the generals, no matter what their titles, are some miscellaneous generals, just like what kind of Fenwei generals and brave generals will appear in the future, and so on, there is only a better general title without actual military power, so Wei Man's Zuo General was set up by Yan Guo to comfort people.

The official military generals of the former generals, the rear generals, the left generals, and the right generals will not appear until the Three Kingdoms period, and there will be troops that really belong directly to these generals, so you can imagine what kind of general Zuo that Yan Guo gave to Wei Man.

The state of Wei Manchu was destroyed by the Yan State, lost its territory and lost its people, and it has been under surveillance since it surrendered to the Yan State. Later, the Xiongnu and other Hu people went south, and these Hu people had no way to face Meng Tian's Wucheng defense chain, so Tou Man asked Qi Yan to send infantry troops to fight together. Han Guang, who stayed in Yandi, thought of Wei Man as soon as he pondered it, and recruited 50,000 people and asked Wei Man to go with the 100,000 Qi army led by Tian Jiao to join the Xiongnu and other Hu people.

After the 150,000 Qi Yan army and the more than 200,000 Hu people met outside Yanmen, the combined army approached 400,000 and invaded Qin on the front line of Taiyuan County.

After the first emperor ruled the world, he issued an order to demolish the city wall throughout the country, Qindi was the first to receive the order to demolish the city wall, no one dared to disobey the order from the first emperor, then of course the city that originally had the city wall as a fortification demolished the city wall, but the farther away from Xianyang accepted the order to demolish the city wall, until the restoration of the country, most areas outside the Qin land still retained the city wall.

One thing that must be said is that the Hangu Pass, which had resisted the invasion of the allied forces of the nations into the Qin land more than once, this Xiongcheng fortress was also demolished under the order of the First Emperor. This is the reason why after the chaos in the world, the Qin State chose to settle a heavy army in Sanchuan County. It was precisely because there were no many fortifications in Hangu Pass, so the Qin army could only deploy heavy troops in order to prevent the enemy army's army from entering Qin from the best line of Sanchuan County.

The person who came to look for Wei Man was Li Liang, not anyone sent by Zang Di.

Li Liang came with four things, one was the pass token of the Yan army, and the other was the news that it had fully surrendered to the Han State, one of which was stamped with the military order of the general of the Yan State, but in the end it was a bit complicated.

Does Wei Man have any feelings for the Yan Congress? (Wei's) Korea was destroyed by the Yan State, and if he said that he had feelings for the Yan State, he probably hated more, so after Li Liang said that the Yan State was completely surrendered to the Han State. Without waiting for Li Liang to take out the military order written by Zang Di, he just made sure that the Yan Kingdom was destroyed by the Han Kingdom.

Li Liang wanted to prove that it was not difficult for the Yan State to fully surrender to the Han State, and he carried a white silk stamped with the seal of the Yan State and the seal of the general, these two large seals belonged to Zang Di and Han Guang, unless the seal letter fell into the hands of the Han army, otherwise there was absolutely no way to make the Han State expand the seal.

The actual controllers of the Yan State are Zang Tu and Han Guang, if the Prime Minister Yin and the General Yin are in the hands of the Han State, even if the Yan State does not really perish, the situation will definitely not be much better. Therefore, although Wei Man doubted that Yan Guo had fully surrendered to Han, he also knew that it would be sooner or later.

"What does the King of Han need from me, and what can he give me." Wei Man asked Li Liang so.

Li Liang smiled and asked, "What do you want to get, and what can you give me the king." ”

Wei Man didn't speak immediately. He had to think about what he could get, and how far he could help Li Liang go. In fact, what Wei Man wanted most was to restore the rule of the peninsula of Wei Korea, but he knew very well that this was very difficult.

Li Liang knew one thing from Wei Man's appearance, that is, the 40,000 Yan troops in the Qin Land were estimated to be under Wei Man's control. Otherwise, Wei Man would definitely not be like this.

"I heard that the King of Han is generous, and his subordinates can get the highest royal title?" Wei Man got Li Liang's nod and asked, "Dare to ask this general ......." Li Liang reminded him that he was just a partial general, and he should not be called a general, and then Wei Man nodded and continued: "What is the title of General Li in the Han Kingdom?" ”

Title? Even if you add Zang Tu and Chen Sheng in the back, there are only thirty-two nobles above the lord in the Han Kingdom, and the nobles of the Han Kingdom are not cabbages, and Li Liang has made a lot of meritorious contributions, but he has not reached the point where he can become a nobleman.

"Oh? Such a large territory, with nearly 20 million heads under the rule, and only 32 nobles in the Han Kingdom? Wei Man's face was incredible.

The population of 20 million mentioned by Wei Man is an unreliable number, how long has the land of Qi and Yan been owned by the Han State, and in the current era when everything has to run on two legs, the war has been continuing, and it is difficult to do a census at all, so after the annexation of Qi and Yan, no one knows how much the Han State has swelled.

It was necessary for Li Liang to explain to Wei Man what was the situation of the nobles of the Han Kingdom, which was a kind of reformed feudal system, and many rights were restricted, and in some respects they had higher autonomy than the original feudal system. In addition, the current feudal system is not the final version, but the establishment of a country is a foregone conclusion.

That is, it was divided into two parts, the native fiefdom and the non-native dominions. So what is local and what is non-local? Wei Man really didn't understand.

Li Liang was a little worried for a while, he didn't bring a map over, how to explain? In addition, which ones are local and which ones are non-local, it is estimated that even Lu Zhe, who is the king of Han, is still confused.

It is true that Lu Zhe has not yet demarcated which ones belong to the mainland, but it can be confirmed that the Central Plains, Qindi, Yandi, and the west of Lingnan in the south will all belong to the mainland, and the rest such as the plateau, north of Yinshan, Monan, Mobei, and north of Liaodong, these areas that have not been touched by the Chinese ethnic groups are also considering whether to be classified as the mainland.

Generally speaking, some of the areas designated by Lu Zhe as local have not yet been obtained, but according to the ideas he has retained since modern times, the land of modern China will definitely belong to the local part, and it is inevitable to add more, but it depends on what part he can expand in his lifetime.

Wei Man only learned about the Central Plains after returning to the Yan Kingdom, after all, the Wei family migrated to the peninsula from the Shang Dynasty, and for more than a thousand years, they were in a state of no communication with the "mainland". After returning to the Yan Kingdom, he more or less understood what the current situation of the Huaxia ethnic group was, and he had been paying attention to the forces established by Lu Zhe.

In fact, paying attention to the power of Lu Zhe is something that people who have broadened their horizons a little in recent years will do, just like the so-called "people with lofty ideals" in the Warring States period will pay attention to the Qin State at that time. And people with sufficient vision, they will always draw their own judgment from the changes in the situation, and this will form a tendency, that is, speculation that is necessarily the result from a broad consciousness, and the ancients called this "Mandate of Heaven" and the like, such as whoever holds the Mandate of Heaven will become the master of the earth or something.

If you let Lu Zhe say, in fact, the remarks of "Mandate of Heaven" or something are a trend of public opinion, that is, the so-called what the heart desires, after all, everyone thinks that the result of that thing is like that, many people will follow the trend and hug their thighs, find a backstage and the like, then it is difficult for the characters who are thought to become the co-masters of the world not to grow. At the same time, because they all went to hug their thick legs, the side that was thought to be bound to become the co-lord of the world, the most encountered in the expansion was that the army did not reach the object that needed to be conquered but sent people to surrender, in a little terminology, that is called conforming to the mandate of heaven.

In the end, Wei Man did not ask for anything clearly, but only said that he was willing to accept the reward and punishment system of the Han Kingdom, and what he could get was finally calculated by merit.

Li Liang felt very satisfied, Wei Man, this is the choice that a smart person should make.

Determined to belong to the Han Kingdom, Wei Man asked Li Liang again: "Is there also someone sent by the king on the side of Tian Jiao?" ”

In view of the fact that there was nothing to hide in it, Li Liang also said: "The person who went to Tian Jiao's side is Tian Guang, the son of Tian Rong. ”

Qi Yan was originally an ally, Wei Man knew a little bit about the complexity of the Qi clan, and when he heard this, he used a strange tone: "Qi Wang Dan, Tian Heng, Tian Rong and other more than a dozen clans are one line, Tian Jiao and Tian Jian are one line, Tian Jiao and his brother Tian Jian and other six people are one line. ”

Tian Jian? Li Liang was a little impressed when he heard this name, before he set off to come to the Yan military camp in Qindi, there seemed to be a person named Tian Jian in Guangyang who called himself the king of Qi after the self-immolation of the king of Qi, and called on the Qi people of the land of Qilu to go to the country or something, Han Wangzhe got the news and sent the fourth mixed army, and the order was to exterminate this force, and then enter the Yan land to set up defenses at the junction with Donghu.

"Yes, so Tian Jiao and Tian Guang are not the same faction, Tian Jiao's faction was already making arrangements to snatch the throne of Qi when the Qi State was in good condition, and the sphere of influence was not only Guangyang County but also Hengshan County, when the full army went south, 30,000 of the 100,000 Qi troops led by Tian Jiao were drawn from the two places, and Guangyang County and Hengshan Army should have nearly 200,000 Qi troops belonging to Tian Jiao's faction." Wei Man said to Li Liang.

“……?” Li Liang was a little stunned when he heard this, it seems that the Han Kingdom didn't pay too much attention to Guangyang County and Hengshan County? At least he'd never heard about it.

There were still at least 200,000 Qi troops belonging to Tian Jian in Guangyang County and Hengshan County, and Tian Jian also called himself the King of Qi after Tian Dan, the king of Qi, set himself on fire, while the Han side only sent a mixed army to ......

"Man thinks that General Li Bi should inform the king of these news." Wei Man's plan for the Han Kingdom.

Actually, Wei Man is befriending Li Liang, and he is also using this news to make a little credit after he is attached, as for whether Han Guo really doesn't know anything about the situation on Tian Jian's side, that's another matter. (To be continued......)
