Chapter 419: Changes in the Great Beam
In February of the twenty-first year of the reign of King Qin (226 B.C.), the Daijun Wu'anjun Plateau officially accepted Lin Wenchun as a side room and accepted Luo Huan as his adopted son, but did not change his surname and remained Luo.
On the third day of the plateau of Nalin Wenchun, the news of Wei came that the Qin general Wang Benqin led 5,000 cavalry troops, broke through 300 miles, and attacked Xingkou by surprise. The Wei army stationed in Xingkou was defenseless, and was defeated by the Qin army, with more than 4,000 casualties.
Because Daijun and Guiling can communicate with each other through guò flying birds, the transmission of information is also carried out in a very timely manner, and because the plateau has installed a lot of spies in Daliang City, the situation that happened in the Wei State can basically be grasped by the plateau in a very timely manner.
And just two days later, another piece of news reached Daijun, the king of Wei pretended to kill the prime minister Wei Xing, the great Sima Wei Yan, the great priest Wei Hui, and the great Sitian Wei Ping clan more than ten people, regained power, and sent people to Guiling to ask Ancheng Jun Wei Zeng to return to the court, and once again asked Daijun to send troops to rescue Wei.
It turned out that after the plateau withdrew from Daliang, the clan of Wei returned to Daliang and regained power, and Wei Wangjiao was completely reduced to a puppet, and the power was in the hands of Wei Xing, Wei Heng, Wei Ping, Wei Yan and others.
But after this incident, the families of more than ten clans led by Wei Xing, Wei Hui, Wei Ping, Wei Yan and others were all served by the plateau, so their vitality was also greatly damaged. Moreover, although the army that stayed in Daliang and the people of Wei did not leave, they were very dissatisfied with the practice of the clan and the clan who forced away the Dai army, and the contact was very great.
Because it is the army, it is even more dissatisfied with the clan family, because after the clan seized power, the style of deducting military salaries and installing cronies in the army was restored, especially the new big Sima Wei Yan, in order to make up for the losses as much as possible, first of all, he cut off the soldiers' salaries by forty percent, and coupled with other layers of exploitation, and finally fell into the hands of the soldiers, less than thirty percent, so the army was full of complaints, and many soldiers missed the days of the army in Daliang, when the military salary was fully distributed. There are also many soldiers who regret it very much, why didn't they follow the army in the first place? The antagonistic atmosphere in the entire Daliang City was very tense.
Although the people of the army did not blatantly rebel against the clan clan, the uncooperative attitude of taking all kinds of yang and yin actions, openly listening to and secretly rebelling, deliberately shirking, neglecting and so on, also gave the clan a headache. In addition, many people took the opportunity to rob and make trouble, so now there is chaos in Daliang City.
The Qin army raided Xingkou and Wei Xiao was killed, which also caused a panic in Daliang City, and Wei Xing also hurriedly gathered the clan to discuss countermeasures, and urgently arranged defensive beams to resist the attack of the Qin army.
And at this moment, no one thought that the deprived of power of Wei Wangjiao suddenly made a difficult move, and took down Wei Xing, Wei Hui, Wei Ping, Wei Yan and others in one fell swoop, and regained power.
In fact, after returning to Daliang, King Wei has always been unwilling to be only a puppet king, although he lost the power of the dynasty, but took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the middle and lower-level soldiers and the people with the clan and family, and secretly also pulled a group of middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers. And Wei Xing and the others only cared about fighting for power and profit, and they didn't notice these fake actions of King Wei. And just as the Qin army attacked Wei again, Wei Xing and the others focused their attention on how to resist the Qin army.
So the king of Wei pretended to take advantage of the time of the last dynasty, ambushed the soldiers in the palace, and suddenly moved, first caught Wei Xing and Wei Heng, and then sent troops to raid the mansions of Wei Ping, Wei Yan and others, and took them by surprise, as a result, Wei Ping was arrested, Wei Yan led his family to resist and was killed in the mansion. Although several clans received the news at the very time and recruited their families and soldiers to resist, but these people had lost their morale, so they were finally pacified by Wei Wangjiao, some were captured, some were killed in battle, and some escaped from Daliang, Wei Wangjiao finally regained power and took control of Daliang City.
Originally, this was a great opportunity for the Qin army, if an army could kill Daliang City at this time, it would be possible to capture Daliang in one fell swoop. But now the army of Qin is two or three hundred miles away, and Wang Ben's army is very close to Daliang, but he only has 5,000 men and horses under his command, and he still has to hold Xingkou, and he does not dare to act rashly, so a great opportunity is missed.
However, although Wei Wangjiao regained power, the situation in Daliang City did not calm down, after all, there are still many clansmen under these clans, Wei Xing, Wei Hui, Wei Ping, Wei Yan and others are either arrested or killed, and the clansmen are naturally in danger and have gathered together to resist Wei Wangjiao. After these people gathered, there were a lot of people, and there were weapons and helmets, so it was not a weak force, but fortunately, the clan and clan had lost the hearts of the people, and they could not support the people of Daliang, and the king of Wei also controlled a lot of troops in his hands, so although the king of Wei could not help them, he could at least stabilize part of the situation. As a result, the two sides fought against each other in Daliang City.
At this time, the king of Wei sent people to Guiling County to ask Wei to return to Daliang to govern, and at the same time sent an invitation to the plateau to rescue, in fact, he hoped to use the power of the army to suppress the remnants of the clan.
The changes that occurred in Daliang were reported back to Guiling by the secret agents of Daijun in Daliang, and Wei Zeng was also a member of the Wei clan, of course, he didn't want Wei to perish, so he received a fake messenger from the king of Wei and immediately prepared to return to Daliang.
Originally, when Gao Yuan left Wei, he was ready to return to Wei again, so Yuan Xuan, who was stationed in Guiling, not only did not stop him, but also sent Lu Renjie with 5,000 Wei troops to rush to Daliang with Wei Zeng, and at the same time used flying birds to pass the news of Daliang to Daijun.
Gao Yuan received these news, and he was also a little crying and laughing, although some did not expect that the king of Wei actually had some courage and could seize the opportunity to regain power in one fell swoop, but in the case of the Qin army's overwhelming territory, the monarchs and ministers of Wei still had the heart to fight for power and profit, and they really didn't know whether they were smart or stupid.
However, the king of Wei officially sent an invitation to himself, and Gao Yuan originally planned to rescue Wei again, so he could also take advantage of this opportunity to send troops again to rescue Wei.
So Gao Yuan immediately summoned Li Yinghong, Ning Qi, Shen Shen, Geng Zhong, Zhao Xuan and others to gather, mainly to arrange the affairs of the family.
Of course, everyone knows that rescuing Wei is to protect Daijun, so they have no objection to the decision of the plateau, but fortunately, the plateau often goes out to fight, and everyone is used to the fact that the plateau is not in the Daijun, and still maintains the normal operation of government affairs, and the government affairs of Daijun are not complicated, and the plateau is not too worried.
Although all parts of Daijun are now recruiting new recruits and expanding the army, the plan for the expansion of the army has basically been formulated, and to supervise and inspect the expansion of the army in various places, it is enough to have Li Yinghong take responsibility in Daijun, after all, Li Yinghong is also a person who has been in the army for a long time, and it is not the first time that Daijun has expanded the army.
Another thing is that the two steppe tribes that migrated to settle outside the Yanmen Pass have agreed to the plateau's request, expressing their willingness to obey the system of Daijun and organize young and middle-aged men in the clan to form an army to fight for Daijun, including young and middle-aged women, who are also willing to join the army as long as Daijun wants to recruit, but they hope to get the same treatment as the previous group of settled steppe tribes.
In fact, these two tribes have been living outside Yanmen Pass for nearly two months, and have a certain understanding of the life of the previous group of settled grassland tribes, although their men and women have to serve in the army, but the treatment is very good, far higher than the ordinary herdsmen, and the appearance is good, and there is a chance to be promoted. A number of men had become middle and lower rank officers, including seven thousand cavalry commanders.
The nomads of the steppe are originally a warrior and warlike people, of course, they will not be afraid of war, not to mention that they can change their lives through guò conquest and meritorious service, of course, they will not refuse, and other conditions, such as feeding cattle and sheep and livestock, must be bought first to Daijun and so on, let alone a problem.
However, after the two tribes form an army, they will need to undergo a period of training. In addition, these two tribes were taken in, and they had to guard against the attack of the Xiongnu.
At this time, Zhao Xuan said: "Lord, I just received news that the whereabouts of the horse thief outside Yanmen Pass have been discovered, near the mountainous area about one hundred and twenty miles northwest of Yanmen Pass, so we suspect that the old thief is there, whether to send an army to carry out the expedition." ”
Gao Yuan immediately said: "Of course we have to recruit and suppress, this group of horse thieves is always a scourge to keep and must be exterminated, if you can find their old extermination, it would be better, since it was found outside the Yanmen Pass, let the Yanmen Legion send troops, General Yuan is not there, let the ** lead the army to go on the expedition, and then transfer three hundred scout soldiers from the Wu'an Legion to help them." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded and said, "But now there is only one cavalry army in the Yanmen Legion, and if you want to encircle and suppress that horse thief, I'm afraid there are still some shortcomings, is it not to draw some cavalry from other legions." ”
Gao Yuan thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "Now I am afraid that it is difficult for other legions to draw out troops, and there is no old horse thief, I think so, I will send three thousand cavalry from those two tribes, give them weapons and armor, let them go with the **, and let them show it, if they can find the old army of the horse thief, it depends on the situation, see if there is a need to send a large army." ”
Ning Qi nodded and said, "That's good, although they are not officially Wu'an Army now, but find something for them to do, let them know that if they want to live in our Daijun place, they have to do something." ”
Li Yinghong said: "Don't worry, if you really find the old horse thief, I will personally lead the army to conquer it." ”
