Although Zhao Jia is the King of Zhongshan, he actually only controls two cities in Zhongshan County. Over the years, Zhao Jia has never forgotten the hatred of the country's subjugation, trying every means to improve his strength and find a way out. Zhao Jia and Yan Dan
, both were kings who were threatened by Qin and were aware of their shortcomings. But there were also big differences between them.
Probably because the State of Zhao has been destroyed, although Zhao Jia also wants to recover the State of Zhao, he will not confront the State of Qin head-on like Yan Dan. He has a clearer understanding of himself, and his goal is not to restore the State of Zhao in the short term.
, but to preserve the blood of Zhao State for the future. However, Yan Dan just wanted to resist Qin's attack and prevent Yan State from being destroyed. Precisely because of their different ideas, the strategies implemented by the two were also different.
of.
Zhao Jia didn't put too much thought into governing the place, nor did he seek any reforms. He probably regarded this place as a temporary place for himself. He spent more time recruiting various talents.
Talent, Zhao Jia also issued a recruitment order, but anyone with skills can be reused here. Zhao Jia himself is also very eloquent. Through these means, he quickly gathered a large number of people of all kinds.
of talent around you.
He lived a very simple life, and spent all his energy on recruiting talents.
Yan Dan focused all his energy on the reform. Sitting in the palace, Zhao Jia almost jumped when he heard the ministers reporting the situation of Yan State. He was really so angry that he could not speak. Yan Dan carried out the reform.
The Hu people in Liaodong were forced to rebel, and the Hu people in Liaodong asked Qin for help. If they waited until they came, it would be better... Zhao Jia was cold all over. Looking at the ministers in front of him, he said: "The Qin people will never
If we miss such a good opportunity, if the Qin people want to attack Yan, they will definitely attack us first."
Of course, the ministers also understood this truth. At that moment, everyone's faces turned pale, and some ministers couldn't help but cursed: "Yan Dan is a person with six grains! If you want to die, you have to drag the Zhongshan Kingdom to die with you!!", the ministers
They all cursed, Yan Dan's behavior was indeed very stupid, and the first to suffer was the Zhongshan Kingdom, which had done nothing. People were sitting at home, and disaster came from the sky. Naturally, the ministers couldn't help but vomit.
fragrance.
Zhao Jia waited until the ministers had vented their anger before saying, "We still have to find a way to resolve this matter."
"what can we do about it?"
A minister stood up and said: "Zhongshan is not the enemy of Qin. Qin's attack on Yan this time will probably use Marquis Wucheng as its general. By then, Marquis Wucheng will come with an army of 100,000 people. Who among us will
We are no match for him, so we can only escape... Taking advantage of the chaos in Yan State, we can flee towards Liaodong, escape outside Liaodong, look for land suitable for farming, and wait for opportunities..."
The ministers were not surprised. After all, the Zhongshan Kingdom had been running since the founding of the country. From Handan to Wu Sui, who had nothing to do, and to follow Wu Sui to the more remote Liaodong, there was almost no difference... They made the decision very early
Many escape routes were laid out so that they could escape danger at any time. A trace of unbearability flashed across Zhao Jia's face. He looked at the ministers in front of him and sighed.
The ministers were silent, and Zhao Jia said: "I am not reluctant to give up my wealth, nor am I worried about the journey... I cannot bear to let the common people and many elders suffer. I am leaving this time, and I don't know when I will be able to come back...
.Leaving my homeland, going to a bitter cold land, and joining the barbarians... I really can’t bear it.”
"Let's do this. For those who are willing to leave, I will definitely take you to your destination alive. I will use my own food to entertain you. For those who are unwilling to leave, I will not blame you. I can distribute the travel expenses so that they can go back.
, From the common people to the soldiers, and then to the princes, it is like this." Zhao Jia said seriously.
As soon as he spoke like this, the ministers could not sit still. One of them stood up and said: "If you don't look down on us because of our low origins or our lack of ability, you will treat us like national warriors, and we will definitely treat us like national warriors."
To treat you, please don’t say such things again, we are all willing to follow you, and we will be where you are!”
Zhao Jia almost cried. He helped the minister in front of him and gave the order to leave.
Zhongshan Kingdom is running away again, which is not good news for the people, and the destination is Yan Kingdom. Even so, not many people are willing to leave, because most of those who followed Zhao Jia here admire his character.
, or those who cannot be tolerated by the Qin State, such as rangers and lobbyists, they can only follow Zhao Jia. Zhao Jia prepared for seven or eight days before leaving Wu Sui and rushing to the Yan State with the people who were willing to follow him.
direction.
They wanted to go all the way north to avoid Qin's attack.
On the road, the people were walking with their heads down, and the soldiers were following around in frustration. Zhao Jia even turned his head back and looked at the land of Zhao State behind him, crying several times. He really couldn't bear to leave his hometown, his own country.
He had no choice but to stay here and wait for death. His soldiers did not exceed 30,000, and there was no way to resist the Qin people. In this way, Zhao's troops left Wu Sui in a mighty manner, and he took them with him
All supplies in the city.
At this time, Yan Wangdan was hiding in the palace and almost went crazy.
His eyes were red and his figure was slovenly. He had no trace of his past appearance. He killed his own Prime Minister... It was he who insisted on rewarding the Hu people abroad, and it was he who confidently believed that the Hu people's army in the country was not worth it.
As a matter of fact, every time he thought of Huo's instructions before leaving, his heart ached unbearably.
The initial reform went very smoothly, and the Yan State did indeed capture a lot of land. Huo suggested that Yan Dan convert the land outside the Great Wall into money and supplies to reward the soldiers who fought, because these lands were really not suitable for farming, nor were they suitable for farming.
Grazing is almost useless. If you force the soldiers to move there, it will cause big trouble. Yan Dan still remembers how the prime minister tried to persuade him, but the king of Yan seems to have a kind of stubbornness in his bones.
Yan Dan wanted too much to solve the current crisis and open up territory to defend the Yan State, so he ignored the persuasion of the prime minister and stubbornly sent the barbarians in the country to the outside of the Great Wall, hoping to turn this place into the future of the Yan State.
To retreat, tragedy happened like this. The Hu soldiers thought that they could not get fair treatment. They were very angry and gathered together to insult the king. Only then did Yan Dan realize the mistake he had made.
Huo also persuaded him that as long as he sent a few people to appease the Hu people and dispensed with the previous order, the rebellion could be stopped.
However, Yan Dan believed that these barbarians were unreliable and would be troubled by talking about Qin all day long, so he asked the prime minister to attack these barbarians.
Before Huo left, his face was full of despair. He explained the funeral affairs, and then led the army to launch an attack. He encountered extremely strong resistance from the Hu people. The Hu people were very angry. At first, they were threatened by the dual force of Yan and Donghu.
They had no choice but to submit, but in the following decades, they suffered humiliation. In every war, they were dragged out to die. In every corvee, they were the first to be drafted. The officials did not treat them as
People watch.
The merchants deceived their finances, and even the migrating Yan people gave them instructions, showing disdain at every turn.
They originally thought that the emergence of the military merit system could change their destiny. As long as they could achieve more military merits, they could enter the core of the Yan State, just like the Qiang and Di people of the Qin State. Unfortunately, they fought hard for many times.
In 2007, they received unfair treatment in the end. They fought bloody battles with the Donghu on the front line, while the local Yan people watched from the rear and did not rescue them. They just wanted to watch the Hu people bite dogs.
In the end, after defeating the enemy, the native Yan people were rewarded, but they were punished.
The Hu people in Liaodong were furious. In the war with Huo, they became more and more courageous, clamoring for revenge, and completely annihilated King Yan's army in two hours. Huo did not want to be captured and committed suicide in the army.
Yan Dan lost his support and was expelled to the royal capital by the barbarians. Relying on the height of the royal capital, he blocked the rebels. Yan Dan was on the verge of collapse at this moment. He ignored the troops outside the city and hid inside all day.
Inside the palace.
When the minister forcibly entered the palace, he saw Yan Dan who was almost crazy in front of him.
"Your Majesty... The State of Qin has sent out troops. The leader is Wang Jian. He leads an army of 200,000 from Zhao and Wei and is heading towards the State of Yan..."
"Two hundred thousand??" Yan Dan seemed to be stimulated by this number. At that moment, he laughed, "How can we need so many troops to destroy the Yan Kingdom?" The minister fell silent. After a long time,
He said: "The troops gathered by Qin State this time are all new Qin people who have just surrendered. Their combat effectiveness should not be high...it is not easy to pass orders...we still have..."
"There's hope, right?"
"Even the 50,000 to 60,000 barbarians outside the city can block me in the royal city. With Qin's 200,000 troops, what hope do we have?" Yan Dan laughed, with a pale smile. He looked at the ministers in front of him,
Said: "There is no hope, Yan State is about to be destroyed... No one can stop it..." Yan Dan's mental state completely collapsed. Long-term pressure, huge threats, and the death of the Prime Minister became a crushing factor.
His last straw.
Yan Dan looked at the minister in front of him blankly and said, "I don't have the ability of Ying Zheng."
"You... why do you say that? It's just out of time..."
"No, I am hesitant to do things, and easy to give orders impulsively, and cannot listen to the advice of wise ministers..." Yan Dan said blankly: "The teacher must be very disappointed... Both teachers, they must be
Very disappointed." He started to straighten his clothes, staggering and almost falling, "I don't want this either, I just want to keep my country, I want to protect Yan State..."
"Please kill me." Yan Dan looked at the minister in front of him.
The minister was startled and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. We can find a way to break through and escape from here..."
.....
Wang Jian sent troops to the State of Yan. The mighty army of 200,000 looked very powerful, but its combat effectiveness was not very high, because these soldiers were recruited from Wei and Zhao. They had just become Qin people and had no influence on Qin.
The country did not have much sense of identity, and they were neglected in training and did not understand military law. Therefore, they all needed urgent training. Fortunately, the King of Qin gave Wang Jian enough help.
Although they were all young boys, they all had potential. Wang Jian asked these people to train the army, familiarize them with Qin's fighting methods, and promote the benefits of the military merit system. It was very dangerous to recruit new soldiers to fight.
Because these people may run away, betray, or violate military law, but of course there are benefits. The biggest benefit is that they can enjoy the benefits of the military merit system.
What shaped the rigorous and war-like ethos of the Qin people today? It was the military merit system, so what could make these outsiders look like Qin people? Or the military merit system.
We must let them know the difference between Zhao and Wei and Qin. We must give them the opportunity to be promoted, earn titles, enjoy benefits, and identify with Qin. This is what Taiwei Liao proposed.
He believes that the greatest advantage of the Qin State is its talents, regardless of your origin, only your merits... Therefore, he insisted on using these new soldiers to participate in the war.
The ministers thought this was a bit risky at first, but finally passed it with Zhao Kuo's approval.
To put it simply, this is the welfare that the Qin State gave to the people of New Qin. It uses a soft persimmon to give them welfare and increase their sense of identification with the Qin State.
When the soldiers from Wei and Zhao gathered in Zhongshan County and began to receive armed weapons and participate in Qin's drills, these young people were actually a little uneasy in their eyes. They never thought that one day they would become
Cheng Qin Jun, the infamous Qin Jun, but things are so fucked up. People will always grow into the people they once hated most. Wearing Qin's costumes, they started training.
The officers of Qin are different from the officers of Wei and Zhao. They are very strict, but they can train with the soldiers and even explain them. The lower-level officers are elected by themselves, such as corps commanders, and they have various competitions.
, have changed the original views of these young people. Being in the Qin Army is not so scary. The military training is generally different. The Qin Army's current training was formulated by Liao himself.
At the same time, they will also hold various games to increase team harmony.
According to Liao's requirements, the army is not organized according to locality. In other words, in the same army, there may be Qin people, Wei people, Zhao people, Koreans, or in other words, only Qin people from different places.
The local Qin people... As a result, it becomes very difficult to transmit orders and coordinate with the organization. However, it does not matter, because the opponent is the Yan State. If it is the Chu State, such an army may die.
It is precisely because of the weakness of the enemy that both Liao and Zhao Kuo regarded this war as an opportunity to train young officers and increase the assimilation of various places. The first was the young generals. They had to lead such a chaotic army, and they were under great pressure.
They have a lot of things to do, different cultures, different customs, and different languages, which creates big problems.
This is the best opportunity for young officers to hone their skills, and for the soldiers, it is a bit strange to look at comrades they have never met.

At first, they hardly communicated. Everyone looked for their fellow villagers. But when various competitions and games started and they were forced to become an interest group, things became different. Young people from all over the world began to point fingers.
Conversation, perhaps, these young people are more willing to communicate than those old people. They tell interesting things about their hometown, teach each other their own languages, and find ways to communicate.
Liao's strategy is feasible.
Wang Jian reorganized the army in Zhongshan for more than a month, and then the army began to head towards the State of Yan.
The leaders were two young men, Wang Ben and Meng Tian... Their first target was the Zhongshan Kingdom, which was Wusui City. Unfortunately, Wusui City had become an empty city, and Zhao Jia had already run away, so they managed to get there with almost no effort.
After taking this place, the Qin people who came here looked at the Zhao people who were afraid of them. They wanted to explain that in fact, we are also Zhao people... This is a good start.
After capturing this place, the Hu people of Yan State could contact Qin State. The leader of the Hu people of Yan State came to pay homage to Wang Jian in person.
This Hu man was called Ke. His parents actually dared to give him this name. They were very courageous. Just like his name, Ke was not an ordinary person. When Wang Jian saw him for the first time, he felt a little fond of this Hu man.
General, he is tall and has a big beard. Ke, a Hu man, is not as unbearable as he imagined. He is an educated Hu man with extraordinary conversation. His father is from Yiren and his mother is from Yan.
National nobility.
This sounds a bit unbelievable. It is said that when Ke's mother was traveling outside, she encountered bandits. It was his father who bravely saved her. His mother ignored the opposition of the world and eloped with the man who saved her... The man taught
Ke is brave and brave, but women give him knowledge... He is a very outstanding talent, and the barbarians admire him very much, but because of his background, he has never been valued.
Ke said seriously: "General, King Yan has been blocked by us in the royal city. We have no siege equipment, so we have not been able to capture the city. I am willing to lead my troops to fight with you... However, please forgive us for the crimes we have committed.
." Wang Jian smiled and said: "I have never heard of such a thing, I only heard of someone attacking the tyrant." Ke breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried before. The first thing Qin did when he came to Yan was to attack Yan.
They cleaned it up.
Wang Jian looked at him and said seriously: "However, you can't be regarded as Qin's army, nor can you assist us in fighting. You can take your troops back and let them prepare for farming at home without worrying about anything.
In Qin, no one will bully you..."
"I know...Wuchenghou is still here," Ke said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that even you all knew about Marquis Wu Cheng..."
"He once made a fire bed, which saved many of our tribesmen. Not only us, but also the Donghu outside the Great Wall also respected him very much..."
"Um???"
The topic gradually shifted from the Kingdom of Yan to Marquis Wu Cheng, and Ke said excitedly: "Many years ago, my father followed Li Fu to fight in the Kingdom of Yan... He was an uncle. At that time, Li Fu was defeated.
A general named Yang wanted to kill all the soldiers in the city. My father killed him and then led the soldiers to surrender to Lord Ma Fu. Lord Ma Fu forgave him and let him come back."
"Then has your father gone back?"
"No, he asked his colleagues to kill him... He said he would take responsibility, called several uncles, and committed suicide... The defeated soldiers took his head back to the Yan Kingdom, but the King of Yan did not allow it.
Bury him..." Ke's eyes were a little red, and he said with a smile: "These things were told to me by his colleagues after they came back. I am very proud, because my father is a warrior."
Wang Jian looked at him, nodded cautiously, and said, "He is indeed a warrior."
ps: I don’t know if everyone still remembers what happened to the Yan man.
