The war in Dangdai City came to an end, and the Qin army completely took control of the city, and Zhao Tuo was quite surprised when the statistics of casualties and gains were submitted.
Zhao Xie.
He had an impression of this name.
This person is the king of Zhao State, Zhao Wangxie, who was supported by Zhang Er and Chen Yu in history.
The reason why Zhao Tuo remembered Zhao Xie’s name.
Mainly because this person is the background of the Battle of Julu. He is the King of Zhao who was besieged in Julu City by the Qin army led by Zhang Han and Wang Li, waiting for the rescue of the princes.
At the same time, Zhao Xie was also the loser who was defeated by the Han army in Han Xin's last battle.
As Xiang Yu's decisive battle against Han Xin, Zhao Tuo was naturally deeply impressed by the name of Zhao Xie.
It was such a nobleman of the Zhao family, one of the vassal kings in the late Qin Dynasty in history, who died in the battle of Daicheng today.
"Zhang Er, Han Cheng, Zhao Xie... this is the third prince who died in the late Qin Dynasty. It is true that a butterfly flapping its wings can blow a hurricane in the distance."
"My arrival has changed the fate of many people."
Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart.
"Zhao Jing, the guilty minister of a small country, pays homage to General Zhao and asks the general not to kill the people in the city for the sake of being members of the Zhao family."
Zhao Jing, the acting prime minister, was captured and brought to Zhao Tuo by Qin soldiers. He immediately knelt on the ground and begged Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo said calmly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. Since I told the prisoners that those who surrender will not be killed, they will naturally do what they say. As long as there is no more resistance in the city, the Qin army will never kill anyone indiscriminately."
, and all the prisoners who cooperated in the recruitment and surrender will be released."
Hearing this, Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly kowtowed: "General, be kind."
After saying that, he raised his head, looked at the particularly young face in front of him, and whispered: "I had no chance to meet the general in Xianyang back then. When I met today, the general and Zuo Si looked really alike. I still remember that when Zhao Guoshang was still there, the general was 20 years old.
Young, I once..."
Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows, knowing that this prime minister wanted to stir up his inner affection for the Zhao family. As he talked, he would probably talk about the Zhao family's country.
Zhao Tuo sneered and interrupted: "Prime Minister, please don't say these words in front of me."
"Zhao's family was already dead when Zhao Qian unjustly killed Li Mu and killed my parents. There are wise kings and good generals from enemy countries outside, and there are mediocre lords and traitorous ministers in power. How can Zhao Guoan survive?"
"Zhao Jia was lucky enough to escape from Dai, but he was just lingering. Today, Qin destroyed Dai, which is also in compliance with destiny. At this point, could Dai Prime still not see clearly that Qin's annexation of the world is the general trend?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jing fell silent.
Qin has destroyed the five kingdoms, and the trend of unification has long been formed. Except for some people in Qi who deceive themselves, who among the wise in the world can't see clearly?
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "Although Dai City was once the territory of Zhao State, it has now planted the flag of Qin State, and it is the land of Qin State. The Qin army will not kill indiscriminately here, but the Dai people here must obey.
Yes, if there is discord, bad things may happen. The acting prime minister is a kind-hearted local elder, so he should comfort the people for us and not to cause trouble again."
After Zhao Jinglue thought about it, he realized that Zhao Tuo wanted to use his reputation and prestige in the Dai country to appease Dai Ren, cooperate with the Qin army's rule, and make him a so-called "dai traitor".
He didn't want to do this kind of thing.
But when I think about the tens of thousands of generations of civilians in the city, if no one coordinates among them, if a few hot-blooded people come out to conflict with the Qin army, it is very likely to lead to a massacre, and it is unknown how many people will be killed by then.
I also thought about what Zhao Tuo said just now, that Qin's unification of the world was destiny and the general trend.
Zhao Jing hesitated slightly, but finally handed over his hand and said: "Everything will be decided by the general."
"This is very good, so I would like to ask the Prime Minister to continue to take charge of the affairs of Dai City."
Zhao Tuo looked a little more relaxed and said: "I heard that Zhao Xie and other people who died were loyal men who would rather fight to the death than follow Zhao Jia north to collude with the Huns. I admire this behavior very much. I will leave their bodies."
The army will not slaughter them, let the people of this city take them and bury them."
Hearing this, Zhao Jing had tears in his eyes and said in admiration: "General, you are a great virtue."
After the matter was settled, Zhao Tuo called Li Shang and asked him to take Zhao Jing down. Qin army guards would accompany him to inspect Dai City, appease the Dai people in the city, and assist the Qin army in ruling.
After settling this matter, Zhao Tuo looked at the gains from this battle.
There were originally three thousand guards in Dai City, but nearly a thousand of them were disheartened by the Qin army's offensive tactics. After the war, they followed the group of old and weak soldiers and fled down the city.
However, the remaining two thousand people were all hot-blooded soldiers like Zhao Xie, and they fought desperately, resulting in Qin's casualties not being light, about two thousand.
But fortunately, the Qin army has military merit and titles to provide pensions. Even if the soldiers die in battle, they can still benefit their descendants, so their death is not in vain.
"It is really difficult to defeat the dead soldiers in a fortified city. If the mind-attack technique does not work, if we want to capture this city, our army's casualties may have to be doubled."
Zhao Tuo sighed softly. After counting the gains and arranging the affairs of the city, the battle was finally over.
He immediately summoned his generals to hold a meeting in the tent and began to discuss the next battle plan.
"According to what the Prime Minister said, Zhao Jia will collect Dai people's warriors along the way when he goes north, and then go to the land of Gaoliu in the north to join the Huns heading south."
"Although the people of Dai are small and the land is poor, Zhao Jia may be able to gather tens of thousands of soldiers through recruiting all the way. If Zhao Jia leads this Dai army to form an alliance with the Huns and the two meet, our army will defeat them.
, it’s a little difficult.”
"Therefore, I feel that the general can immediately send out chariots and cavalry to pursue day and night, and capture and kill Zhao Jia before he can join the Huns. Even if he can escape, he can be driven all the way so that Zhao Jia has no time to recruit from the land.
The army will provide convenience for our army’s subsequent battles.”
As an aide to the general, Li Shiqi spoke first and offered a strategy.
Shejian agreed: "What Mr. Li said is that Zhao Jia thought that Dai City was dangerous and would resist our army for several days. He never thought that our army could capture Dai City in one day in this battle. He must not have gone far. Our army
The attack should be urgent rather than slow, and if we pursue it with chariots and cavalry, we may be able to intercept it halfway."
Zhao Tuo thought for a while and felt that there was no problem with this strategy, so he said: "In that case, I will send a general with five thousand chariots and cavalry to pursue. I will lead the army myself."
As soon as the voice fell, a strong man stood up and asked for orders: "General, the failure of the previous raid on Dai City and allowing Zhao Jia to escape are all the fault of the last general. Please general, please allow the last general to pursue the attack and atone for his sins!"
Zhao Tuo took a look and saw that the person speaking was Meng Tian.
He smiled and said: "What is the crime of General Meng? I have already asked, that Korean Zhang Liang had already calculated that Zhao Jiahui would fail, warned Zhao Jing, and asked Dai City to take precautions in advance. The failure of the raid on Dai City had nothing to do with General Meng
, but since General Meng has asked for a fight, it will be up to General Meng to carry out this pursuit."
Meng Tian immediately said loudly: "The general will definitely live up to his mission!"
Looking at Meng Tian's back as he took the order and left, Zhao Tuo smiled slightly.
Although Meng Tian had some disagreements with Zhao Tuo before, he has been very upright since he was impressed by Zhao Tuo's military ability in the battle against Chu.
Meng Tian followed Zhao Tuo to defeat Dai this time. Although he didn't speak much, he was very obedient. In addition, he was born as a general and was very capable. He has become a general under Zhao Tuo who can keep pace with Shejian. Even in terms of overall quality,
Even better than Shibama.
This time, Zhao Tuo was very relieved when he was asked to lead the chariots and cavalry to pursue Zhao Jia.
and.
Zhao Tuo secretly thought: "Zhao Jia and Yan Wangxi, in addition to two thousand Dai soldiers, there are also one thousand Huns cavalry. And Meng Tian was the nemesis of the Huns in history."
…
Anyang is dozens of miles northwest of Daicheng.
Zhao State had two cities named Anyang in the north and south. One of them was near the big river in the south and was the so-called "Yin Ruins".
The other one is in the northwest of Dai City. In the past, King Zhao Wuling once appointed his eldest son Zhao Zhang as Lord Anyang of Dai, and the fiefdom was here.
Nowadays, Anyang City is full of people and noise.
"Come out quickly. Your Majesty has called for an army to fight against the Qin people. How dare you disobey!"
Two fully armored soldiers kicked open the wooden door in front of them and pointed their swords at the man in the room.
Holding the dagger in his hand, the man protected his trembling mother, wife and children behind him, and shouted: "If I fight against the Qin people, I am willing to fight to the death. But today, the king colluded with the Xiongnu and robbed the native people. My ancestors, I
My father died at the hands of the Hu people, I have a deep hatred for the Hu people, An Neng is with the Hu people!"
"Are you leaving or not!"
"Don't leave!"
Hearing this, the substitute soldier was furious. He stepped forward and stabbed the man with his sword. The man resisted, but after all he wanted to protect his family behind him. It was one against two. What kind of opponent was he killed by a substitute soldier?
Stabbed to death on the spot.
As soon as the man died, his mother rushed forward screaming and was killed by another man with a sword, leaving only the frightened man, his wife and children, hugging each other and crying bitterly.
The two soldiers looked at each other, but did not commit any more killings. They just searched all the corn and wheat in the house when they left.
Scenes like this kept happening throughout Anyang.
Dai Wangjia abandoned Dai City and left, with only 2,000 guards around him. This number was far from enough to fight against the Qin army, so he listened to Yan Wang Xi's suggestion and recruited all the people in the city along the way through Dai City.
Men join the army.
But Daidi is different from the hometown of Zhao such as Handan and Shangdang further south.
Places such as Handan and Shangdang are on the border with the Qin people. Every household of the local people has a big hatred against the Qin people. If they can fight against the Qin people and let them join forces with the Hu people, they will be willing to do it.
But Dai is a border county and does not border the Qin State. It has never been invaded by the Qin army. Even Dai people are rarely recruited to the south to fight against the Qin army. They are more of a frontier army of the Zhao State.
, to fight against the barbarians in the north.
Therefore, the people of Dai may be influenced by Zhao's anti-Qin thoughts and be hostile to the Qin army, but in their bones they have no real blood feud with the Qin people.
The real enemies of the modern generation were the Hu barbarians from the north. Whether they followed King Wuling of Zhao to fight against the barbarians or followed Li Mu to fight against the Huns, in short, every family had enmity with the barbarians.
Dai people hate the Hu people just like the Handan people in the south hate the Qin people.
Therefore, when contemporary Wang Jia led the Huns cavalry in the city to forcibly recruit troops and even confiscate grain, they encountered great resistance.
What further intensified the conflict was that the thousand Huns cavalry were completely released at this moment.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they actually looted the cities of Dai.
They robbed iron tools, robbed silk and silk, robbed food, and even some Huns smiled ferociously and pushed the women to the ground, intending to do evil...
Dai Wangjia showed pain on his face, and said happily to King Yan: "The Huns are so raging, how can we join forces with them? Why don't King Yan persuade the Xiongnu Qianchang to restrain his men for the sake of me?"
"The number of available soldiers under King Dai is only two or three thousand, but the Huns have a thousand cavalry. They are not afraid of the king at all now. Not to mention that there is still a large army of Shanyu in the north. At this time, King Dai thinks that he alone can persuade
Have to move?"
King Yan smiled happily and said: "And it doesn't matter if we let them rob it. After we leave, the Qin army will definitely occupy this place. All the utensils here will belong to the Qin people, and the food will also be eaten by the Qin people."
"Now that the Huns have taken more food and left, the Qin army will have less food to eat when they arrive here. If we burn all the food in the city that cannot be taken away before we leave, then the city will be filled with hungry people.
But they will all become a burden to the Qin army."
"Your Majesty, please understand that the Huns are our allies!"
