Chapter 347 Open Your Eyes and See the World (Ask for Monthly Votes)

What you didn't get on the battlefield may not be impossible to get at the negotiation table.

Personal interests are often placed above national interests.

After all, the country is virtual, but personal interests are at hand. Not to mention prime ministers like Hou Sheng, even Qi Wang Jian himself may not necessarily put national interests above personal interests.

I am the country, but the country is not me.

Therefore, Mi Zhu's negotiations with Qi Wang Jian, Hou Sheng and others went very smoothly.

Although the Dayu army encountered stubborn resistance from the Qi defenders in Jiyang, Suiyang and Xiaxiang, Qi was only willing to defend the city and had no power for field battles, which was very passive; and Dayu's cavalry could wreak havoc on the border cities of Qi and plunder the population, and Qi's small cities had no power to resist.

Moreover, the cities in the southwest of Qi were mostly the former sites of Lu, Song and Chu, and not many people were willing to resist for Qi.

Dayu only exerted a little effort, and the southwest border of Qi was no longer far from collapse.

I haven't started flirting yet, why did you take off your pants yourself.jpg

Of course, if Qi was ruthless enough, it could cede these lands to Qin, and imitate Han's plan to offer Shangdang, so that Qin and Dayu would fight to the death. At worst, Qi would retreat its territory to the inside of the Great Wall of Qi, and give up Lu and Chu for the time being.

Could Dayu still penetrate the continuous mountains and the Great Wall of Qi between Qi and Lu?

First, exchange space for time, and then fight back when the time is right.

But the king and ministers of Qi obviously did not have such courage. Fortunately, they did not have such courage, because Dayu did not need to attack the Great Wall of Qi at all, but could directly force a landing from Linzi and attack the capital of Qi without strategic depth.

In addition to not having soldiers to fight, another important reason that prompted the king and ministers of Qi to negotiate peace was that Dayu still had more than 60,000 martial arts captives and 170,000 elite captives of the Qi army, which Qi needed most.

This number was enough to make up for the shortage of troops in Qi and give Qi the strength to fight.

This was a temptation that Qi could not refuse in any case.

Moreover, after Mi Zhu came to Qi, he also gave Hou Sheng and others a lot of personnel; he also brought back Tian Zhang's body with the highest etiquette, and gave Tian Zhang a high evaluation, giving enough face to the Tian brothers and the King of Qi; not only that, Mi Zhu also put the blame for killing Tian Zhang on the heads of Han and Wei.

In Mi Zhu's description and the original understanding of the monarch and ministers of Qi, Tian Zhang was defeated because of the treacherous scheme of Wei Liao and Bai Yifei, and Dayu admired Tian Zhang's integrity and bravery, and thought of the feelings of the brotherly state with Qi, so it spent a huge price to redeem Tian Zhang's body and a group of captives.

In the case that Dayu and Han were two independent countries recognized by the world, Tian Zhang's defeat was really mainly related to Han and Wei, so when Qi did not know the relationship between Han and Yu, Qi really owed Dayu a favor.

He also wants to thank us.JPG

According to Mi Zhu, Dayu attacked Qi because the Emperor of Dayu was angry at Qi's betrayal.

What else can the people of Qi say?

The people of Qi, who were already in the wrong, couldn't just say that they could fight whoever they wanted, and they couldn't say that they didn't want the 200,000 prisoners, right?

Dayu had been prepared for this!

Dayu even registered the dead and captured Qi soldiers separately, and it was made public since Mi Zhu entered the country. Now everyone in Qi knows how many people died in the war and how many were redeemed by Dayu. Now most people in Qi have no bad feelings towards Dayu. On the contrary, many people praise Dayu's benevolence, and countless people are looking forward to saving their relatives and friends!

In terms of emotion, reason, public and private, King Jian of Qi had no other choice.

In the end, King Jian of Qi agreed to Mi Zhu's request and ceded the line from Suiyang to Xiaxiang to Yu.

For the sake of face, Qi did not mention the fief of Chunshen Jun's son in Huaibei, but now the other party can only surrender and hand over the fief to accompany his old father Chunshen Jun.

Dong Huang did not kill Chunshen Jun, but gave him a fief and let him become a local emperor.

This can be regarded as buying bones with a lot of gold, which can effectively reduce the determination of other hostile leaders to fight to the death.

With the conclusion of the agreement, almost all the tributaries of the Huaihe River system, except for the Sishui and Yishui basins north of Xiaxiang, fell into the hands of Dayu.

Dazexiang and Gaixia, which were famous during the Qin and Han Dynasties, were actually located between the Huaishui River and the Suishui River. Now these two places have all fallen into the hands of Dayu.

It's just a pity that Qi gritted its teeth and refused to sell Xiapi, Pengcheng, Peixian and other important places in the middle and upper reaches of Sishui.

However, it was not a big problem, because many talents in Pei County had already fallen into Dayu's hands. As for land, it was not so important.

Political blackmail should be stopped when it is good.

So, Yu State happily accepted a large area of ​​land. This time, because of the war launched by Qin and Qi to destroy Wei, Dayu, which did not directly fight with Wei, got a larger area of ​​land than Wei.

Qi State was uncomfortable, helpless and happy to accept a large number of captives who had a good meal and fun in Dayu.

These captives were first killed by the "Wei Army" in the name of insufficient food and grass. The pit was dug, and they were "saved" by the benevolent Dayu.

After arriving in Dayu, the Qi army captives who had experienced two encounters of being almost killed felt for the first time what it meant to treat captives well and what it meant to feel at home.

Not only did they eat and drink well, but in order to enhance the relationship between Qi and Yu, the Dayu army also mixed with them and played games such as Cuju, and occasionally drank a little wine.

At the same time, some people spread among them that it was Qi's betrayal, the King of Qi's stupidity, and Hou Sheng's abuse of power that caused the successive defeats and caused the brothers to fight each other, which made many generous men in Qi and Lu blush.

What was easier to draw closer feelings was the dirty jokes in the Qi Palace. Some people vividly described how Hou Sheng got favored by entering from behind, which aroused waves of resonance.

In a subtle way, these people not only had no resistance to Dayu, which was invading them, but were very grateful; they were quite dissatisfied with Qi; and they were envious of the treatment of Dayu soldiers...

When they learned that Dayu really wanted to send them back to Qi, 20,000 to 30,000 strong-tempered people said that they would not leave, and they would serve the Emperor of Dayu, who was faithful and loved his soldiers, to repay his kindness. Among these people, there were more than 10,000 martial artists.

Among those who stayed, more than half returned directly.

Although the rest did not stay, they had a very high impression of Dayu.

Although these impressions will not be directly converted into combat effectiveness, they are the best publicity.

Knowing that Dayu is so benevolent and treats prisoners so well, who would be willing to fight Dayu in the future?

If Dayu conquers Qi in the future, these people will also become loyal supporters of Dayu.

This is a very useful strategy to attack the heart, and it is also an open conspiracy that cannot be cracked.

In short, you can't use these people, Qi? You can't kill them, right?

As for those who choose to stay, Dayu paid a certain price and agreed that the Qi people in the occupied area of ​​Dayu who are willing to go to Qi can leave voluntarily, and then took back the families of those soldiers.

Of course, it is worth it to buy bones with a thousand gold.

Apart from other things, the most immediate effect is that more than 90% of the Qi prisoners who stayed have returned.

Such a return rate is simply beyond the reach of the prisoners of Chu and Qin.

It is worth mentioning that after Mi Zhu won the negotiation, he was stopped by Lian Po on his way back to Dayu.

Mi Zhu sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.

Mi Zhu knew that Lian Po would definitely come to him, because Lian Po, who could no longer stay in Qi, had no choice but to surrender to Dayu.

Now, the only country that could help him with revenge was Yu.

But the more so, the less Mi Zhu had to fight.

He had to represent Dayu to kill Lian Po's spirit.

The reason was simple. Would a person like Lian Po be willing to be inferior to other generals?

Definitely not.

So, how should Dayu arrange him?

Dong Huang could not have let him command a legion of so many people and rank above most of Dayu's generals just because of his fame in history! Otherwise, what would so many soldiers who had followed Dong Huang for three or four worlds and risked their lives think?

For a Lian Po who might not be able to be conquered, it was not worth it for Dong Huang to pay such a price, even if it was not worth it for Wang Jian.

For example, Yue Fei, the famous martial saint in history, was Dong Huang's adopted son and son-in-law. His ability was indeed outstanding, but he only became the commander of a legion by strength after destroying several countries. Dayu has many legions with the same organization as Yue Fei's legion.

Of course, after the formation of the army, the ability of many generals to train and use troops will widen the gap. At that time, there will definitely be a new reshuffle. The first-class legions and the second-class legions will definitely widen the gap, but this is not a reason for people who have no merit to come from behind.

Therefore, Dayu must hold on.

Now it is a buyer's market. Lian Po has only Dayu as an option, but Dayu does not necessarily have to have Lian Po. Let Lian Po lower himself and put himself in the right position, so that it is easier to conquer, which is also good for everyone.

This time, Lian Po has obviously realized the problem. Not only did he put his attitude very low, but he also exchanged the only money he had for personnel to honor Mi Zhu.

This made Mi Zhu laugh.

Oh my god, Lian Po not only asked for forgiveness, but also gave gifts!

Mi Zhu naturally looked down on Lian Po's personnel, but he knew very well that the first step to tame Lian Po had been completed.

——

The time when Dayu exchanged prisoners and territory with Qi was actually only a few days away from Dian Wei's great victory.

During Dayu's many actions, Meng Ao, who was feared by everyone, was actually not idle. He first suddenly attacked and captured twelve small cities in Han, further consolidating the occupied area.

At the same time, Nei Shiteng also made certain gains within the scope of Chufang City.

Meng Ao's attack forced Dian Wei to return to the army.

Guo Jia, who realized that Meng Ao's main force had left, also quickly transferred troops to the north. As a result, Meng Ao replaced all the defenders of Chenliu with Qin Ruishi without knowing when.

Guo Jia's troops were forced to fight head-on with 60,000 Qin Ruishi. Fortunately, Guo Jia had the skill of sacrifice, and he was about to sacrifice his subordinates, so he barely stopped the Qin Ruishi.

Soon after, Meng Ao's main force came to help, and Huang Zhong also came with the main force to support.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides outside Chenliu City.

The battle lasted from morning to evening, and the two sides, exhausted, called off the battle.

In this battle, Guo Jia's troops were directly defeated. In addition to those who were blown up by the sacrifice and those who had serious side effects and could no longer serve in the army, Guo Jia's troops were left with only more than 20,000 people. Because of the excessive use of the power of blood sacrifice, they were unable to fight again in a short period of time.

Huang Zhong's troops also suffered heavy losses. Because of Guo Jia's sacrifice, a large amount of combat effectiveness was overdrawn, and the combat effectiveness dropped sharply in a short period of time.

Guo Jia himself was exhausted.

Meng Ao's troops lost at least 40,000 Qin Ruishi and a large number of other troops in the whole battle.

The two sides generally ended in a draw.

However, Dayu lost more people and paid a greater price.

But if they fought again the next day, without the blood-clothed army's meat shield and Guo Jia's sacrifice, Huang Zhong's troops with a sharp drop in combat effectiveness would definitely not be the opponent of Meng Ao's army, which still had a large number of Qin Ruishi.

Guo Jia and Huang Zhong's troops could only retreat to Yongqiu and wait for Xiahou Yuan, Pang Tong, and Xiahou Dun's troops to arrive.

In general, Meng Ao, who had taken advantage, did not pursue, because this decisive battle also scared Meng Ao.

Although Meng Ao achieved his strategic goal, he did not want to fight such a battle again, especially Huang Zhong's bow and arrow, he did not want to face it again - in the previous battles, he was almost shot to death by Huang Zhong several times. Fortunately, the Qin army was thick, otherwise it would be hard to say.

After forcing Guo Jia and Huang Zhong's troops to retreat, Meng Ao once again took advantage of the navy to advance eastward. His navy and the Qi navy attacked from front and back, defeated the Zhao navy in one fell swoop, and blocked Pang Nuan's troops in Rao'an.

At this time, Meng Ao originally wanted to assist Qi in destroying Pang Nuan's troops, but he received the news of Yang Rui's defeat.

Seeing the location of Dian Wei on the map, Meng Ao realized that the situation was not good.

After all, Meng Ao's initial plan was to attack Daliang by water, and he was particularly sensitive to water attacks.

Therefore, Meng Ao's main force directly crossed the Yellow River, and with the captured Wei civil and military officials from Daliang, they easily captured the enclaves of Wei in the north of the Yellow River, such as Yecheng, and then marched into Handan according to the order of the Central Government of the Great Qin to go north first and then south.

On the other side of the river, the pale-faced Guo Jia was almost mad at Meng Ao's repeated jumping.

Meng Ao seemed to have awakened an incredible skill in his battles with Dayu, Han, and Wei in these few times - repeated jumping.

Taking advantage of the Yellow River navy, he was in Hebei, Henan, Qi, Wei, Zhao, and Qin, which really drove people crazy.

But the people of Yu didn't know that it was because his son Meng Wu was besieged and killed by Dayu using the navy advantage that Meng Ao desperately studied the combination of land and water tactics.

This time, Meng Ao tried his hand and made Guo Jia and others miserable.

Dayu did not think about transferring the navy to the river, but in order not to arouse the vigilance of Qi, Dayu forcibly held back.

After this battle, the battlefield between Qin and Yu gradually calmed down. Although the people of Nanyang County suffered, Qin and Yu obviously did not want to launch another decisive battle at this time.

The real battlefield moved to the north.

Handan was surrounded again.

The location of Handan is backed by Taihang Mountains in the west, and there are vast plains on the east and north sides. Not only is the economy developed, but it also happens to be a key position for the Qin army to attack the Yanzhao Plain in the north. Under the current situation, even if Handan is not the capital of Zhao, it will be an important town among the important towns of Zhao.

Of course, as the capital, this location is a bit too forward for the current Zhao.

On the map, the territory of Zhao today is like a steamed bun with a point on it, and Handan is on the tip of this steamed bun, which makes people want to take a bite.

The current Qin State is like a sex-hungry ghost who has been thirsty for many years and just wants to take a bite of the steamed bun.

(The color-filled part is the newly acquired territory of Yu, Qin, and Zhao)

So, Meng Ao took a bite.

This time, the King of Zhao panicked again.

The location of Handan is so forward, not because the King of Zhao wants "the emperor to guard the national gate", but because most of Handan's barriers have been captured by the Qin State.

At its peak, the Zhao State had a large area of ​​territory east of the Taihang Mountains, such as Shangdang and Taiyuan, but now the Zhao State has almost no defense against the Qin State, and the capital will be exposed to the Qin State's military front at any time.

Originally, the King of Zhao wanted to send troops to rescue Wei, so as to get Wei's Yecheng and other places without spending a single soldier. As a result, the Wei State was too weak and was destroyed, and Yecheng and other places were persuaded to surrender by the Qin people.

This left the gate of Zhao State wide open.

But most of the main forces of Zhao State were sent out.

This is not just a matter of opening the door, it is simply opening the thighs and putting a welcome sticker on them.

Who can resist that?

So where did the main force of Zhao go? First, Pang Nuan took a part of it away; secondly, another part was sent by the Zhao monarch and ministers who were sure that Qin had no time to care about Zhao to attack Hebei of Qi.

Zhao was still very ambitious and wanted to completely occupy the entire Hebei.

Hebei is a plain with rich resources, suitable for growing grain and raising soldiers. With this land, it is not a problem for Zhao to restore its former glory.

Now the situation in the world is becoming clearer and clearer, and gradually presents a situation of hegemony among Qin, Yu, Qi and Zhao. Zhao and its war agents naturally have more and more ideas.

Since Zhao's main goal was to seize the entire Hebei Province, but it did not want to fight to the death with Qi, the mission of Pang Nuan's troops became, first, to deter the Qin army from assisting Qi's allies, second, to seize the area between the Heshui River and the Jishui River, and third, to prevent the main force of the Qi army from supporting Hebei.

This decision cannot be said to be wrong, but it is definitely not right.

The 300,000-man army clearly gained a strategic advantage, but neither occupied important areas to expand the results of the battle, nor tried to annihilate the enemy's living forces. Instead, it was trapped in one place and hesitated to move forward, which was a child's play.

Then, Pang Nuan was taught a lesson by the Qin-Qi coalition. Qi, which negotiated with Dayu but still maintained a military tacit understanding with Qin, once again cooperated with Qin to attack from both sides, causing the Zhao navy to be completely annihilated.

Zhao's defeat was undoubtedly in the common interests of Qi and Qin.

The loss of the navy led to Pang Nuan's main force being blocked by Qi, which had deployed its entire army, and a Qin army. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pang Nuan retreated to the vicinity of the plain, but the food for such a large army became a problem.

Pang Nuan hesitated for a while.

He understood that Qin did not want to take advantage of Qi's fire, but only wanted to trap this elite Zhao army. Otherwise, it might be another Battle of Changping waiting for this Zhao army.

But now Pang Nuan's troops are also in a difficult situation, because now they can't cross the river at all, their morale is getting lower and lower, and their food and grass can't last long; while the Qi army is gathering more and more, and there is no worry about the food and grass.

There is no doubt that Pang Nuan can't save himself.

Facing the famous Meng Ao and Li Chong who defeated Hu Zhe's troops, the King of Zhao could only hurriedly order the troops to come to help quickly, but this letter for help obviously couldn't reach Pang Nuan - even if it did, it would be useless.

At this time, the King of Zhao received another bad news - the Qin general Wang Jian led his army to conquer the important pass of Taihang Mountain, Qiyang (now Zuoquan, Shanxi), and appeared behind Handan.

(Refer to the map, the location of Qiyang and other places and the terrain and cities around Handan)

Handan City was shocked three times a day.

The King of Zhao gave General Fu Di 20,000 troops to guard Wu'an and defend against Wang Jian's army; he gave Generals Zhao Cong and Yan Ju 100,000 troops to guard Zhangshui and block Meng Ao's army. But these were the only troops the King of Zhao could give.

After sending these troops, Handan only had 80,000 troops. The King of Zhao did not dare to send more troops.

There was even a rumor of moving the capital in the court of Zhao.

This made Li Ru very anxious.

Li Ru's plan was to make Zhao and Qin fight to the death, but how could Handan fall into crisis in a blink of an eye?

Qin did not even fight a bloody battle with Li Mu's army, how could Handan be lost!

For a while, the person who had the strongest will to resist in Handan City turned out to be Li Ru, a senior spy.

Li Ru could only whip Song Ji and others overnight, asking them to persuade King Zhao to stay no matter what, so that King Zhao would be determined to defend Handan, and at the same time order Li Mu to go south to defend the king.

Under the persuasion of Song Ji and others, King Zhao finally made up his mind reluctantly.

This made the understanding of Song Ji in Zhao State change 180 degrees. Originally, everyone thought that Song Ji was a shameless and seductive queen who disregarded human ethics, but now it seems that this is not a queen at all? It is clearly a virtuous queen.

——

When Zhao State was in chaos, Dong Huang had already stepped onto the warship going to sea.

High EQ: I want to expand the territory for Zhuxia in foreign lands, and I want to open my eyes to the world for my male compatriots.

Low EQ: Zhuxia women have too high requirements, I want to spread my seeds... Wu Yiyu, introduce free foreign wives for Dayu soldiers.

However, before the world spreads seeds... Wu, Dong Huang still took the time to meet Lian Po, so that he could feel the warmth of His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu.

Dong Huang knew that Lian Po was unwilling to be inferior to others, and that Lian Po was willing to pay any price for revenge. He also knew that Lian Po had to understand the ways of the world after experiencing all kinds of setbacks and PUA.

After Dong Huang comforted Lian Po, he promised to avenge him.

Of course, if it was just a verbal promise, Lian Po might not be willing to believe it, so Dong Huang gave Lian Po something that was really feasible.

Dong Huang took Lian Po to Korea.

Each war zone of Dayu now has its own commander, so it is not appropriate for Lian Po to go anywhere, but if he goes to Korea, there will be no so many concerns.

In fact, there are not many famous generals in the entire Dayu's Korea-Yingzhou war zone, and a group of elites were taken away by Fa Zheng. It was the weakest time, which directly led to Dayu's powerlessness against the surrounding foreign races and the Liaodong area of ​​Yan State.

The troops of the three Wu Yi brothers were already struggling to defend Fa Zheng's retreat and maintain the situation in Korea. Neither the troops nor the ability allowed them to make more offensive moves.

The first batch of Xu Huang's troops who went to assist were mainly to the Lost Space, not to support Yingzhou or Korea.

So Dong Huang's plan was to let Lian Po train a new army in Korea with part of the Tiger Guards as the core, with the goal of attacking the Hu people and destroying the Yan State. When the time was right, he could lead the troops independently as a separate commander to attack the Zhao State from north to south.

Although Lian Po knew that Dong Huang was using his ability to train soldiers, he also knew that this was indeed his only choice for revenge.

Lian Po's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly aroused.

"If I succeed in revenge one day, I will swear to die to avenge Your Majesty!"

Lian Po swore.

Revenge was his obsession. If he couldn't even take revenge, he naturally couldn't return home.

"Have more children. You don't want the Lian family to be extinct, do you?"

Dong Huang was quite indifferent.

For Lian Po, whether he got it or not, Dong Huang didn't care.

In Dong Huang's opinion, as long as he could learn Lian Po's skills, it would be enough. Lian Po mastered the training methods of Zhao's top military formations, and his own strategic and tactical abilities were top-notch.

So Lian Po devoted himself to training with extraordinary enthusiasm. He only cared about training, and didn't need to consider other issues such as soldiers, equipment, and food. He had no affiliation with the three brothers Wu Yi.

The three brothers Wu Yi would rotate with the generals who entered the lost space in the future, and they had no conflict of interest with Lian Po.

The only thing that bothered Lian Po was that Dong Huang gave him the elixir for recuperation, which made him furious every night, and he had to fight bloody battles with the women given by Dong Huang.

Lian Po didn't want to eat it at first, but the problem was that these elixirs produced by Yunzhongjun did have the effect of recuperating the body, and Dong Huang's words also touched him.

Dong Huang said: "General Lian, you are not young anymore. You don't want to die of old age without taking revenge, right? You should take care of yourself. If something happens, your descendants can also avenge the Lian family, right?"

What can Lian Po, who is over 70 years old, say?

So, Lian Po, who trained soldiers during the day, was still restrained and busy at night, and had sex with women at least once every five days.

What made Lian Po happy was that the several deputy generals assigned to him by Dong Huang were all extraordinary. People like Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Du Yu, Lu Kang, Luo Xian, Huo Yi, Xiahou Ba, etc. were all outstanding.

After solving the small matter of Lian Po, Dong Huang finally officially embarked on the journey to the lost space.

If you want to open your eyes to see the world, you must endure the loneliness of the journey.

The lonely Dong Huang could only sit in a specially made silent carriage, occasionally practicing halberd techniques with Lu Lingqi and archery with Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang looked beautiful when she drew the bow with her jade feet.

Lu Lingqi looks very cool holding the halberd with both hands.
