Qingzhou is equivalent to Shandong in later generations. It is the north-south hub that connects the eastern coastal areas. Most of the area is hilly and plain with gentle terrain, which is not enough to defend itself. However, in the central and western parts of the country, Mount Taishan of Dongyue, which is famous in the history of Chinese culture, stands.
Taishan County got its name from this.
Mount Tai is actually not very high, nor is it the highest among the five mountains. However, Mount Tai is located on the plain, and its relative height is unmatched by the other four mountains, so it looks particularly majestic. In the view of Confucius, who was used to seeing plains and hills, climbing
Once you climb Dongshan Mountain, you can see the entire Kingdom of Lu, and once you climb Mount Tai, you can overlook the world. It is no exaggeration at all. The ridicule of him by later generations is purely a kind or ignorant joke.
When humans step out of space and look back at the earth, they will see that the earth is just an insignificant speck of dust in the vast space. From this perspective, wouldn’t it be ridiculous for humans to lament the mountains and the sea?
When Wei Ba was mocking Confucian scholars, he also liked to make fun of Confucius, but when he was really preparing to seize Qingzhou by force, he did not dare to look down upon Mount Tai.
The Taishan area is not very big. Together with the Lushan and Yishan areas in the east and the Mengshan area in the southeast, it is just an area with a radius of five to six hundred miles. However, this mountainous area has become the most difficult area in Qingzhou.
1. After the war of 30 to 40 years, Qingzhou, which was also a heavy military disaster area, was slightly better than Xuzhou, mostly due to this mountainous area.
When there is a big chaos, or the government is too strict and the people cannot survive, they will go into the mountains and become bandits. Not only ordinary people, but also aristocratic families do this. Just like the people in Jiangdong hid in the mountains and became Shanyue, Qingzhou's
The people hid in Mount Tai and became the famous Mount Tai bandits.
The history of Taishan bandits may be longer than that of any dynasty. As far back as the time of Confucius, because he saw his husband and son being eaten by the tigers of Mount Tai, he still did not dare to leave the mountainous area, which made Confucius utter "tyranny and fierce rule".
"Yu Hu" lamented. Those people are usually refugees, that is, common people who are unwilling to stay, but in times of chaos, they are thieves.
This is probably the prototype of the Taishan Bandit.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Taishan bandits were famous. Zang Ba and others were the Taishan bandits. They relied on the favorable terrain of Mount Tai and the combat effectiveness of the Taishan bandits. They occupied a place in the era of separatist rule. They were related to the Qingzhou soldiers, one of the earliest main forces under Cao Cao.
They were connected by blood and formed a loose Taishan Clan until Cao Cao's last years. The Taishan Clan had always been a decisive force. After Cao Cao's death, the Qingzhou soldiers almost led to a mutiny. Zang Ba played a big role in it.
After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and solved the problem of the Han Dynasty, the first thing he solved was the Taishan Clan. Using the Eastern Expedition as an excuse, he sent troops to Xuzhou, conquered Zang Ba and came to Beijing to rule Jinwu, and deprived him of his military power, which was regarded as a separatist regime for nearly thirty years.
The threat from the Taishan System in 2016 has been basically resolved.
Wei Ba wants to take Qingzhou, and of course he doesn't want this situation to happen again. He is confident that he will not let the people flee into the mountains to become thieves, but he cannot guarantee that Wang Ling or Xiahou Ba will not retreat to the mountains to defend themselves after their defeat. How to transfer them to the mountains?
Inflicting heavy damage or even annihilation on the plains has become the first issue that he and his staff must consider.
Qingzhou natives Yanghu and Yinfan put forward suggestions to attack Linzi or Licheng (today's Jinan City) from different angles.
Linzi is the seat of the governor of Qingzhou, the capital of Qi State, and the economic center of Qingzhou as a whole. Licheng is the county seat of Jinan. Although its status is not as important as Linzi, it is also a battleground for military strategists in the northwest of Mount Tai, controlling the
From Jinan, we can drive westward and point at Yanzhou.
After everyone discussed it, they thought it was more reasonable to attack Linzi. Once Linzi was closer, there was Judian in the north of Linzi. The leader of the water thieves, Liang Jing, had surrendered a few years ago. Taking advantage of the naval advantage, Judian could be used as a logistics base.
, transporting relevant materials to Judian for storage first can reduce the risk of being robbed during transit. From the sea to Judian, and then from Judian to Linzi, you can trace up the Zi River, and giant ships cannot enter. Medium-sized buildings
The ship has no problem at all. Secondly, Linzi is located in the middle of Qingzhou. After Wang Ling and Xiahou Ba are defeated, they can still retreat to the west and will not think of escaping to the Taishan area. Jinan is in the west. Once their retreat is cut off, they are likely to
Consider staying in the mountainous area and continuing the fight without cutting off the route of retreat. Reinforcements from Jizhou and other places may arrive.
After comprehensive consideration, it is certainly more reasonable to attack Linzi.
After setting the general direction, Yu Si made a suggestion. In order to ensure that the navy could easily go up the river when necessary, and to confuse Xiahou Ba and others, before attacking Linzi, Leling should be captured first. Leling is
Jizhou's territory is close to the sea and sparsely populated. There are only four counties, which is suitable for garrisoning troops. Stationing thousands of people in Leling can not only protect this section of the river, but also threaten Jizhou so that the Wei army in Jizhou does not dare to act rashly.
Wei Ba readily agreed and made arrangements immediately. He summoned Guo Li, told him his plan, and then said, "Do you think this plan is convenient?"
Guo Li hesitated. By doing this, Wei Ba had invaded Jizhou, exceeding their original agreement. He was not sure whether Queen Mother Guo would accept this plan. After all, for now, although there was little hope, he still wanted to make Jizhou a
At least most of Jizhou is covered by fiefdoms, and Leling is obviously among them.
"Whether it's okay or not, you can discuss it." Wei Ba didn't care and said calmly: "If you cooperate, I will take Leling. If you don't cooperate, I will take it too. Since it is a war, of course I must follow the rules of war.
Then again, maybe it would be easier for you to talk to me this way."
Guo Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He also knew that he could not convince Wei Ba with just one mouthful. This man always believed that force was the final solution to problems. In desperation, he had no choice but to inform Luoyang to avoid the misunderstanding of Queen Mother Guo.
Wei Ba organized his troops to go to war. He asked Deng Ai to be stationed in Xiangping and be responsible for overall affairs. Chen Biao was stationed in Changli and Cheng Yi was stationed in Xuantu. Guan Feng was pregnant and could not bear the suffering of the turmoil. He stayed in Xiangping to take charge of internal affairs and take charge of the affairs.
Zhang Zhi assisted. Sun Luban became addicted to riding horses on the grassland. Although he was reluctant to leave Zhao Tong, he was willing to stay in Xiangping to accompany Guan Feng.
Others, a total of 20,000 infantry, 15,000 elite cavalry, and 10,000 naval troops, accompanied Wei Ba.
Zhuge Zhi once again acted as the vanguard. He and Zhou Yin led 6,000 naval troops in front and attacked the Leling Kingdom.
In the past few months, although Wei Ba has been vigorously deploying troops in Liaodong, Qingzhou has not stopped. Pan Zhu and Zhang Wei led 5,000 naval troops and have been harassing the coast of Qingzhou. They took advantage of the warships and appeared in Qingzhou for a while.
In the north, they then headed eastward along the coast and went around to the vicinity of Miudao. No one knew what they were going to do. They said they wanted to attack Qingzhou, but they didn't seem to have enough strength. They said it was guerrilla warfare, and sometimes they fought very hard. They once went along the Luoshui River
Then he went up to the foot of Qiancheng City, and almost captured Qiancheng.
Wang Ling and Tian Yu were exhausted and exhausted by them. But Wang Ling's son Wang Peng was very happy. He led three thousand cavalry in hot pursuit and fought all over Qingzhou.
Hearing that Wei Ba was going on a large-scale expedition and approaching Qingzhou, Wang Ling couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief while stepping up his war preparations. In any case, the war was finally here, and there was no need to be like cat and mouse like before.
Pan Zhu and Zhang Wei rushed to Xia Island to meet with Wei Ba.
"Have you been comfortable these past few months?" Wei Ba asked as soon as they met.
Pan Zhu didn't speak, but Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Zizai, Zizai, we teased Wang Feixiao quite a lot. However, after all, it's just a small fight, and it's not very enjoyable."
Wei Ba smiled: "When you feel comfortable, just hand in your homework."
Pan Zhu and Zhang Wei looked at each other and smiled, holding up a thick album.
This is a hydrographic map of the Qingzhou coast. Where can troops be stationed, where are the reefs, where can be fortified, water depth, mileage, all clearly marked. This is their main work content on the Qingzhou coast for several months, and Wang Feihu catches and hides.
, it’s just a casual game.
"It looks good." Wei Ba nodded with satisfaction: "You two should recommend each other to see who is more suitable to be the vanguard general."
Pan Zhu said: "General Zhang is brave and good at fighting, and he is very familiar with the water conditions. If he is the vanguard, he will definitely win the battle."
Zhang Wei smiled and said nothing, but held his chest high.
Wei Ba touched his beard, looked back at Zhao Tong, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Jiang Jun, what do you think?"
Zhao Tong smiled lightly: "I only supervise the army and am not responsible for fighting. These matters are not within my scope of authority."
Wei Ba did not ask any more questions, and waved to Sun Shao: "Fengxian, you are so idle that you are almost getting maggots. Lead your troops and go to battle with them."
Sun Shao was overjoyed and quickly accepted the order.
Wei Ba called Sun Shao again: "Gongli, you have fought with Wang Ling for many years and know him well. I will leave the front army to you. We must make Wang Ling think that we are taking Linzi. Just take it easy and don't scare him."
Ran away."
Sun Shao smiled slightly and bowed to accept the order.
Sun Shao and more than 10,000 people were left behind to make preparations for landing in Qingzhou. Wei Ba then rushed to Liaocheng with the main force. Liaocheng was the mouth of the Yellow River. Wei Ba would go up the river there and make a plan to attack Yanzhou with navy.
The situation forced Xiahou Ba to rush to Linzi to aid and at the same time cover Zhuge Zhi and others who were attacking Leling.
As Wei Ba arrived at Liao City, the situation in Qingzhou and Jizhou suddenly became tense. Wang Ling rushed to Linzi, Xiahou Ba led his army to Licheng, and Pei Hui, the governor of Jizhou, also led more than 10,000 county troops to Leling.
The battle first started between Zhuge Zhi and Pei Hui.
Zhou Yin led 3,000 infantry, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and rushed towards Luowo on the north bank of the Yellow River. Pei Hui did not dare to neglect and sent 5,000 infantry to meet him. As soon as Zhou Yin engaged in the battle, he turned around and ran away. The Wei army won the first battle and quickly
Unable to give up, they were led by Zhou Yin and ran for two days, only to find Zhuge Zhi appearing behind them. At the same time, Zhou Yin also turned around and launched a real attack.
Suddenly, the Wei army discovered that the combat effectiveness of Zhou Yin's troops had become stronger. Each of the soldiers fought bravely to take the lead, shouting and killing loudly. They were completely different from the impression they had before.
