Chapter 1553 Returning from the Japanese expedition
Dahan, Xuzhou!
As the figure of the cavalry disappeared, Zhao Sheng's troops finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The disappearance of this group of iron cavalry also represents the safe return of the Han soldiers and horses from conquering Japan.
Zhao Sheng was a native of Handan during the Warring States Period. He was the son of King Zhao Wuling and the younger brother of King Zhao Huiwen. After his brother came to the throne, Zhao Sheng was also named Pingyuan Lord. He and Lord Mengchang of Qi, Chunshen Lord of Chu, and Xin of Wei
Together with Lord Ling, they were called the Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period.
In this life, Zhao Sheng was implanted into Zhao Kuangyin's clan, and he was also a clan general that Zhao Kuangyin relied heavily on.
As for Zhao Sheng in history, his most famous deed is probably saving Zhao!
In 266 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin appointed Fan Ju as prime minister. At that time, Wei's envoy Xu Jia was on an envoy to Qin. Fan Ju asked Xu Jia to deliver a message to King Wei: Send the head of his enemy Wei Qi, otherwise he will be slaughtered.
In Daliang, Wei Qi was very frightened after hearing this and fled to the home of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng. Fan Ju learned that Wei Qi had fled to Zhao Sheng's home, so he wrote a letter inviting Zhao Sheng to drink. Zhao Sheng had no choice but to go, but was detained by Qin.
King Zhao was threatened by Qin, so he sent people to surround Zhao Sheng's home to capture Wei Qi. Wei Qi escaped overnight and wanted to go to Chu through Lord Xinling, but Lord Xinling was afraid of Qin and hesitated for a long time before coming.
, and Wei Qi committed suicide in anger when he saw that Lord Xinling was in trouble. When Lord Xinling arrived, Wei Qi was already dead, so King Zhao sent Wei Qi's head to Qin, and Zhao Sheng was able to return. Later, in 262 BC
, Qin attacked the wild king of South Korea, and the wild king surrendered to Qin. South Korea's Shangdang completely severed ties with the country, so the governor of Shangdang wanted to defect to Zhao.
King Zhao agreed to take over Shangdang and asked Zhao Sheng to greet him. However, Zhao's move angered Qin and triggered the Battle of Changping. In the early days of the battle, Zhao used Lian Po to resist the Qin army. But later Zhao
The king was eager for success and fell into Qin's counter-intentional plan. He replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. Qin's general Bai Qi shot Zhao Kuo to death in Changping. The Zhao army was defeated and the 400,000 Zhao people who surrendered were also trapped.
As a result, the state of Zhao was seriously injured.
The following year after the Changping Battle between Qin and Zhao, Qin sent troops to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao. Zhao was in great danger, so he sent people to Chu and Wei for help. Wei sent troops to rescue, but was threatened by the King of Qin.
So the king of Wei asked the reinforcements to stay and watch. The sister of Lord Xinling of Wei was Zhao Sheng's wife. Zhao Sheng asked her to write a letter to blame Lord Xinling. Lord Xinling then stole the military talisman, seized the military power of Wei's reinforcements and saved Zhao.
When Bai Qi's troops pass through other people's territory, they must be alert to prevent any mishaps along the way?
However, it is not just the Jin army who is worried, Xuzhou Zhao Kuangyin is also worried!
The Jin army was worried that Xuzhou would have some evil intentions during this process. However, Zhao Kuangyin was also worried that during this process, Bai Qi would falsely attack Guo.
Even if there is only a 1% chance that this kind of thing will happen, both parties must be 100% alert. Even if there is only a slight chance of this kind of thing, no one dares to guarantee it? After all, once something goes wrong,
The price paid in the end is nothing to talk about!
It is not that no princes have thought of taking this opportunity to fight against the Jin army. However, after the war against Japan, the original 100,000 Jin army soldiers and horses are now only over 50,000 and less than 60,000.
.
Even if we hit this part of the Jin army, how much damage would this cause to the current Jin army?
Moreover, when returning this time, the Jin army was divided into three parts, front and back. The first ones to set off were Han Shizhong's troops, followed by the infantry troops led by Bai Qi.
The last ones returning were the cavalry led by Chang Yuchun and Huo Qubing.
If the attack is only to destroy these three and defeat one of them, is it worth it? Even if all three parts of the army can be destroyed, is it worth sending troops this time?
?
If a prince from that side really takes action, it doesn't matter whether he can succeed or not. Even if he succeeds, what good outcome will he have?
After suffering such a huge loss, could the Jin army just swallow their anger?
If the Jin army can swallow their anger after suffering such a big loss, then where is the majesty of the Jin army? If this is the case, isn't it equivalent to letting the princes along the Jin army trample Li Xiang's face on the ground?
?
Once there is such a result in the end, what will the people of the world think? What will happen to their awe of the Jin army! If the people of the world lose their awe of the Jin army, then the next road for the Jin army will be very difficult.
It's hard to leave.
Therefore, if something like this really happens, the Jin army will definitely react in their own way, even if it affects subsequent plans.
Even if this will affect the original plan later, this is never the case. Some implicit benefits are actually much greater than those explicit benefits.
Secondly, all the princes are smart people, and they are not the kind of people who would sacrifice themselves for others.
They clearly knew that if any of them took action easily, they would definitely be retaliated by the Jin army afterwards, so why should they take action this time, allowing the Jin army to retaliate against themselves, and at the same time let other princes enjoy the benefits.
Losing one's own interests while fulfilling the interests of others is not an easy decision to make.
Even if they had the idea of taking action, they quickly killed them themselves. At most, these people just looked at the princes around them, are there any people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others?
However, it is obvious that all the princes are people who put their own interests first, and not so many people have the idea of sacrificing themselves for others.
At the same time, the Jin army had no intention of attacking Guo under false pretenses, and the journey was almost uneventful.
Moreover, most of the Jin army was walking on Zhao Kuangyin's territory. If Zhao Kuangyin did not take action himself, he would not be able to let in the soldiers and horses of other princes.
In the Central Plains, Cao Cao, Chi You and Zhao Kuangyin were already in a life-and-death competition. If they could hinder each other and cause trouble, the remaining two would definitely be interested.
Therefore, let alone Cao Cao and Chi You, it is impossible for them to have the idea of sacrificing themselves for others. Even if they really have such thoughts of sacrificing themselves for others, it depends on whether Zhao Kuangyin has the courage to dare to combine these two people.
Put it in his territory?
If Cao Cao and Chi You had bad thoughts about Zhao Kuangyin during this process, then Zhao Kuangyin would really be heading for tragedy! The good situation would be ruined in one fell swoop!
