The eighteenth episode of the Wu'an confrontation
Zhao Guowuan
Built between the two mountains, it became the passage of Zhao to the northwest, which was originally to prevent the invasion of the Xiongnu in the north, and is now used to block the army of Qi.
Tian Dan stood on the city and looked down, the Qi army had no intention of retreating, fortunately, Wu'an had enough grain and grass, the city defense was properly arranged, and the Qi State only besieged but not attacked, and the most worried was the situation in Handan, how to deal with hundreds of thousands of Qin troops with tens of thousands of horses alone.
Pedaling and kicking, one person ran up quickly, "My lord, someone from the house, the old lady is seriously ill." ”
Tian Dan sighed, "It's mostly because of the cold weather, and I've been getting sick a lot lately." ”
"My lord, let's go back and have a look."
Tian Dan shook his head, "At present, Tian Dan is entrusted by the king, and he is even more concerned about the safety of hundreds of thousands of people, how dare he relax for a moment." ”
The man behind him: "My lord, the last general is willing to make a life and death order, if the city wall is wrong, he should die to apologize, I just hope that my lord can go back and see, and if this continues, the iron body will also collapse." ”
But seeing Tian Dan's eyes were red, since the Qi army surrounded Wu'an, he had barely slept a peaceful sleep, the disparity in the strength of the two sides, the other party's main general, Qian Feng, the former subordinates, knew Qian Feng best, was cautious, and it must be difficult to retreat from the enemy with strange methods.
Tian Dan looked at the person who came, "How can you believe that you are the person brought out by the original image, Wu'an is very important to the northwest gateway of Zhao State." ”
The man said, "My lord, let's go back and have a look, so as not to have regrets." ”
Tian Dan looked down, it was almost dusk, the Qi State Barracks was burying pots and cooking, the smoke was filled, and the city of Wu'an was almost the same.
The army of Qi passed through the border and went straight to Wu'an, a major place in the northwest of Zhao State, according to the agreement, Tian Dan got the news and responded quickly, and the people along the way retreated into Wu'an, and the Qi State also suffered the same predicament as the Qin army in Handan, food!
It could not be snatched from the hands of the people of Zhao State, but it could only be transported from Qi State, which was far away and consumed huge manpower, so Qian Feng was worried about it.
After besieging Wu'an for a few days, Qian Feng learned that the Wu'an defender was the old enemy Tian Dan in the past, and he was eager to immediately attack Wu'an and kill Tian Dan, and lost a lot of soldiers and horses in the border pass, Qian Feng knew in his heart that Qin State could tear up the contract, once Zhao was destroyed, it was inevitable that he would not attack the country, so he simply besieged and did not attack, and only by preserving his strength could he get benefits, only waiting for the general of Qin to capture Handan, and then Zhao State would inevitably fall apart, and take the opportunity to capture Wu'an, kill Tian Dan, and occupy the northwest of Zhao State as his own.
"Okay."
Tian Dan promised to walk down quickly, and there was a shout of generals behind him, Tian Dan's feet did not stop, an ordinary house, Tian Dan was responsible for settling the refugees of Qi State that day, and simply brought his family members to Wu'an.
The courtyard door was pushed open, and one person looked up, it was indeed a middle-aged beautiful woman, with a happy face, "Your Excellency is back." ”
Tian Dan walked a few steps quickly, "How is my mother's illness?" ”
The beautiful woman shook her head again and again, "I'm so sick that I can hardly recognize others, and I keep reading adults in my mouth." ”
Tian Dan went straight to the backyard, there was a subordinate waiting in front of the door, Tian Dan waved his hand, the subordinate turned to leave, the door was open, a strong smell of medicine came out from inside, a thin old man was lying there, his mouth was reading, "Adan!" ”
"Mother, your order is back."
Tian Dan came closer, looking at the mother who was tortured by the illness and couldn't help but have a sore nose, the old man's arm was raised, and Tian Dan saw it in his eyes and hurriedly held it with both hands.
"Shan'er, where is this?"
"Mother, Qi Guo."
The old man always wanted to return to Qi State, but now that he was terminally ill, Tian Dan couldn't bear to tell a lie.
The old lady nodded again and again, "Okay, it's good to come back, the fallen leaves return to the roots, Shan'er, King Zhao is not thin on us, and it is true that he knows how to repay his kindness, but don't forget that he is a Qi person, and he can't do anything sorry for Qi Guo, my mother knows that you are very embarrassed, forget it, just do what you want to do." ”
"Tian Dan has never dared to forget his mother's teachings since he was a child."
"It's been a long time since I've heard from my hometown."
Tian Dan waved his hand, the woman left quickly, not for a long time, more than ten people walked in outside, all old men, sitting on the ground, tapping on the wooden board, humming a familiar tune in their mouths, the old lady's eyes slowly closed, and a smile appeared on her face.
The woman stepped forward and said, "Mother is asleep." ”
Tian Dan stepped forward to help up the old people one by one, all of them were refugees who entered the Zhao State from the Qi State, and they were grateful to Tian Dan for taking care of them.
One said: "I feel comfortable to be able to do something for Lord Xiangguo." ”
"Don't say that, Tian Dan is so capable, everything you get today is the work of King Zhao."
The other person sighed and said: "As a Qi person, I really can't go back to my home now, but I have the grace of King Zhao." After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again.
"Where is it not the same, don't you forget that the king of Qi drove us out of Linzi like a pig and dog that day, and how many people died on the road for this."
"Maybe in the eyes of those people, we are not even as good as pigs and dogs."
The camp of the state of Qi
Qian Feng's face was gloomy, and several newly promoted generals below were promoted and made a fortune, and their faces couldn't help but be a little proud, and one of them got up, "My lord, when will the city be attacked, the brothers can't wait!" ”
"What I said is that now that Handan is fighting lively, Wu'an has limited troops, so he simply attacked directly and occupied the northwest of Zhao State first, so as not to admit it when the Qin State does not admit it."
Qian Feng sneered, "Do you know why the Qin State is trying to win over the Qi State?" ”
"It must be the fear of Zhao Guo."
Qian Feng shook his head, "It's not all, the combat power of Qin and Zhao is equal, Handan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Qin alone will inevitably be unable to conquer, so he united Wei, Han and I Daqi to send troops together, although we want to jointly carve up Zhao, it is indeed to form an alliance, Han and Wei are weak, and it is inevitable that they will be given up by Qin at that time, Qi is different, only by winning over Qi State, Qin State can show its strength, so that the status of Qi State is more prominent, and you can take the opportunity to destroy Wei State and then raise troops to attack Yan, and then the world Qi and Qin will be divided equally." ”
"The Qin State is ambitious, and it may not be willing to do so!"
"That's right."
Qian Feng sneered, "The prime minister said, never underestimate yourself, Qin and Zhao are fighting, there is no harm to us, Qian Feng doesn't want to see Zhao Guo too easy to be destroyed, so it will lose the fun." ”
Qian Feng's voice fell, several generals cast envious looks, Qi State lacked capable generals, Qian Feng simply followed Zhao Kuo's practice that day, and promised to select elites throughout the country, regardless of identity, as long as they have the ability, they will immediately worship as generals, this move has won a few good hands, but compared to Mu Chen, Lei Meng and others, it is inevitably dwarfed.
"No one is allowed to go to war without permission, and the soldiers will surround Wu'an."
Winter goes to spring, the northwest of Wu'an blooms a piece of fields, the people with a smile on their faces will carefully bury all kinds of carefully into the soil, waiting for the spring rain, send out tender green branches and leaves, stretch outward, grow day by day, grow golden fruits, and the smile on the face in the autumn wind is stronger.
Two years have passed since the four countries sent troops to jointly attack Zhao, the confrontation in Wu'an is still the same, Qian Feng sat in the big tent and looked at the scrolls, the Qi country suffered a famine again, and the army could use grain and grass to last for half a year at most.
Qian Feng stood up, "What's the situation over there in Handan?" ”
One person walked in quickly, "My lord, the Qin army has never been able to conquer Handan City, and now it is also besieging it. ”
"Two years, two full years, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops can't capture a city, it's a joke."
The man said: "The defenders of Handan City are extremely fierce, and the people in the city have participated in the battle, and I heard that the supply of the Qin army has also been affected. ”
Qian Feng nodded, "Is there any news in Handan City?" ”
"All the spies arranged in the city have been uprooted by the Zhao people, and now the situation in Handan City is unknown!"
"Let's go down."
Handan City
Zhao Kuo bent down to carefully inspect the injury of a person, and his shoulder was completely pierced by a spear, but fortunately he did not hit the vital point, cleaned it carefully, and ordered someone to take the medicine and wrap it carefully.
A group of white-clothed women shuttled among them, in order to distinguish them from each other, they were simply dressed in white, these people were the military doctor camp carefully trained by Zhao Kuo, no less than a few thousand, their hands quickly wrapped the strips of cloth, that person was grateful, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, but seeing the white clothes fluttering, with a smile on his face, for some reason, all the pain disappeared completely in an instant.
"How many wounded?"
One person said: "Three thousand are seriously injured, five thousand are lightly injured, and the medicine in the city is in short supply." ”
"Go and see if the medicinal herbs planted in the backyard of the palace are ripe, if they are ripe, collect them immediately, and after drying, they can solve the current crisis."
"Subordinates obey."
