Tiandan Huoniu Town
Le Yi sent troops for half a year and successively captured more than 70 cities in Qi. Finally, there are only two places left: Cheng Ju (now Juxian County, Shandong Province, jǔ Juyin) and Jimo (now southeast of Pingdu County, Shandong Province). The doctor of the State of Qi established the son of King Qi as the new king in Cheng Ju, that is, King Xiang of Qi. Le Yi sent troops to attack Jimo, and the doctor guarding Jimo went out to resist and was injured and sacrificed in the battle.
There was no garrison commander in Jimo City, and it was almost chaotic. At that time, there was a distant relative of the King of Qi in Jimo, called Tian Dan, who once led the army. Everyone elected him as a general and led everyone to guard the city.
Tian Chan shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and put his own people and family in the team to resist Yan Bing. Jimo people admire him very much, and the morale of guarding the city is strong.
Le Yi besieged Cheng Ju and Jimo for three years, but failed to attack them. Some people in the State of Yan were jealous of Le Yi and said before Yan Zhaowang: Le Yi can capture more than 70 cities in half a year, so why not capture these two cities in three years? It's not that he doesn't have this ability, but he wants to subdue Qi people's hearts. When the Qi people submit to him, he is the King of Qi himself.
Yan Zhaowang has great trust in Le Yi. He said: "Le Yi's contribution is too great to say. Even if he really became the king of Qi, he deserved it completely. How can you speak ill of him! "
Yan Zhaowang really sent messengers to Linzi to see Le Yi and named Le Yi King of Qi.
Le Yi was very grateful to Yan Zhaowang, but he would rather die than accept the order of sealing the king.
In this way, Le Yi's prestige is even higher.
Two years later, Yan Zhaowang died. The prince ascended the throne, that is, Yan. Tian Shan felt it was a good opportunity when he heard the news. He secretly sent people to Yan to spread rumors that Le Yi had become the king of Qi. I didn't accept this title to please my late king (Yan Zhaowang). Now that the new king has acceded to the throne, Le Yi will stay in Qi as king. If Yan sends another big future, he will definitely win and Jimo.
Yan Huiwang and Le Yi have a pimple. Hearing this rumor, he decided to send a general to ride to Qi instead of Le Yi. Le Yi is from Zhao, so he returned to Zhao.
Riding a robber became a general and took over Le Yi's army. The Yanjun soldiers were not convinced, but everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak.
Riding robbery ordered the siege of Jimo, surrounded by several floors. But Tian Chan in the city is already ready for the decisive battle.
In a few days, Yan Guobing will hear people talking nearby. Some said, "General Le used to be very good and treated prisoners very well. Of course, city people need not be afraid. If the Yan people cut off the nose of the captive, would the Qi people dare to fight? "
Some said, "The graves of my ancestors are all outside the city. What if Yan Jun really built a grave? "
These comments reached the ears of robbers. Riding and robbing really cut off the noses of Qi prisoners and let soldiers dig graves outside Qi.
People in Jimo were very angry when they heard that Yan's army abused prisoners like this. They also saw the soldiers of Yan digging ancestral graves on the city head, gnashing their teeth with hate, and demanding that Tian Dan and the people of Yan save their lives together.
Tian Dan also sent several people to pretend to be rich people in Jimo, secretly giving the robbers gold and silver treasures, saying, "We will surrender in a few days after the food in the city is finished. When your army enters the city, please ask the general to protect our family. "
Riding a robber gladly accepted the property and readily promised.
In this way, Yan Jun waited for the Jimo people to surrender and thought it was unnecessary to fight again.
Tian Dan selected more than 1000 cows and dressed them up. Cows are covered with quilts with bright red, green and strange patterns. There are two sharp knives tied to the corner and a bundle of reeds soaked in oil tied to the tail.
One day in the middle of the night, Tian Dan ordered a dozen city walls to be cut open, the cattle team was driven out of the city, and the cattle tails were set on fire. When the cow's tail caught fire, 1000 cows caught fire and rushed in the direction of Yan Jun military camp. The 5,000 "death squads" of the Qi army rushed to kill with broadswords and spears, followed by the cattle team.
Countless people in the city came to Chengtou together and beat hard with copper pots and pans.
At this time, an earth-shattering cry was mixed with the sound of gongs and drums, which awakened the Yan people's sleep. Everyone was sleepy, only to see the flash of fire, and hundreds of monsters with knives on their heads had rushed over. Many soldiers are so scared that their legs are weak. Where do they want to resist?
Don't say how many people were killed by knives tied to the horns of more than 1,000 cows, and how many people were hacked to death by 5,000 death squads. Even the Yanjun himself ran around and was trampled to death.
Yan Xi will ride a chariot to rob and try to fight his way out, but can he rush out? As a result, he was surrounded by the Qi army and lost his life.
The Qi army took advantage of the victory to counterattack. The whole State of Qi was in full swing, and the soldiers and civilians occupied by the State of Yan rose up to kill the defenders of the State of Yan and meet Tian Chan. Wherever Tian Dan's troops hit, the people gathered to respond. In less than a few months, more than 70 cities occupied by Yan, Qin, Zhao, Han and Wei were recovered.
Tian Jun welcomed King Qi Xiang back to Linzi from Cheng Ju, and Qi almost recovered from national subjugation.
An old hand is a good guide
Although the Central Plains countries gradually recognized the status of Qi as the leader, some ethnic tribes living in remote areas turned a blind eye to it. One day, Qi Huangong was discussing with Guan Zhong when someone came to report that róng, a northern minority, had invaded Yan State again and robbed food, livestock and property. Yan sent for help. Qi Huangong asked Guan Zhong for advice. Guan Zhong said, "Rongshan always disturbs the Central Plains, which is a worry for the stability of the Central Plains and must be conquered." Qi Huangong listened to Guan Zhong and led an army to save Yan.
When Qi Huangong's troops arrived at Yanyuan, they realized that Shan Rong had fled with the robbed population and property. Guan Zhong said, "Although Dan Rong has escaped, he will come to harass again. We might as well chase them to the end and completely defeat them in order to achieve long-term stability in the north. " Qi Huangong listened to Guan Zhong's advice and pursued Shanrong to the north. Yan Zhuanggong, the monarch of the State of Yan, said to Qi Huangong, "There is an endless country nearby (now yutian county, Hezhou) that has always been in contact with us. They also had a grudge against Shan Rong. Can you ask them to lead us to attack Shan Rong? " Qi Huangong immediately sent someone with a gift to a country without a dock for help. Endless countries also sent troops to participate in the war.
The leader of Shanrong is called Milu. He heard that Qi, Yan and Wu Dong were fighting together, but he knew that he could not defeat them, so he fled to the north with some cronies and treasures. The soldiers and civilians who had no time to escape surrendered. In order to convince Shan Rong, Qi Huangong ordered not to hurt Shan Rong's soldiers and people. Dan Rong was treated leniently and thanked Qi Huangong. Qi Huangong asked them, "Where did your leader go?" They said, "I must have gone to the lonely bamboo country to borrow soldiers." Qi Huangong decided to attack the Milu deer, conquer the solitary bamboo country, and completely eliminate the hidden trouble of northern unrest.
Besides, Milu fled to a remote bamboo country and asked the monarch for help. In reply, he sent General Huang Hua to lead his troops and the Milu to face the Qi army. Unexpectedly, Huang Hua was defeated by the Qi army as soon as he came out. Huang Hua fled back and said to Li He, "It has nothing to do with our country that Qi Hou led an army to capture the milu deer. I think it's better to kill the milu deer and make peace with Qi Hou, so as to save ourselves. " Another minister made a suggestion: "There is a place in the north called' Dry Sea' and' Lost Valley', where the desert is vast and the roads are difficult to distinguish. If the Qi army can be introduced into the' lost valley', it will be possible to annihilate the entire army of Qi Hou without hurting a single soldier. "
Huang Hua listened to the idea. So he went to kill the milu deer, cut off his head, and presented the milu deer's head to the army of Qi Hou, saying that Arija led the army to escape, and he was willing to yield to Qi Hou, lead the way for the Qi army and pursue Arija. When Qi Huangong saw that Huang Hua offered the head of the milu deer, he believed it and led a large group of people to chase after Huang Hua northward. Huang Hua led the way, and Qi Hou's troops followed. After entering the desert, I just turned a few corners and couldn't find my way. The vast yellow sand (yín) is like a quiet sea, which can't tell the east, west, north and south, nor can it tell the front, back and left. Qi Huangong wants to ask Huang Hua what is going on, but where is his shadow? Only then did I know that I had been cheated by Huang Hua. At this time, the sun has set and the night has covered the earth. It was dark all around, and the northwest wind kept blowing, making the soldiers tremble with cold. Very not easy to wait until dawn, only to find that people have dispersed. Qi Huangong ordered to find a way out quickly, but a large group of people were wandering around, and they couldn't get out of this mysterious valley. At this moment, Guan Zhong suddenly remembered that most old horses knew the way home, so he said to Qi Huangong, "Old horses know the way. Many horses without a final country belong to Shan Rong. It is better to choose a few old horses without a final country and let them go ahead. Maybe you can find a way out. " Although Qi Huangong was skeptical, there was no other way. He agreed to give it a try. So Guan Zhong picked a few old horses and let them walk in front, followed by a large group of people. Several old horses walked unhurriedly, and sure enough, they walked out of the valley and returned the same way. Everyone had a narrow escape and admired Guan Zhong's resourcefulness. Since then, "an old horse knows the way" has also become a widely circulated idiom.
The Qi army went out of the valley and defeated the solitary bamboo country. A Li He and a Huanghua were also killed by the mutinous soldiers, and the lonely bamboo country was destroyed. After the victory, Qi Huangong said to Yan Zhuanggong, "There are 500 kilometers of land around Shanrong and Solitary Bamboo. I will give it all to you. " Yan Zhuanggong said quickly; "It's not a big deal. Thanks to your help, we saved our land. Now we are very grateful. How dare we take your land? " Qi Huangong said, "You're welcome. The northern border is very important. You should take care not to let the border people invade and pay tribute to the heavenly king. This is an honor for all of us. Besides, Qi is so far away from here that it is beyond the reach of the whip and can't be managed! " So on say, Yan Zhuanggong is not good to refuse.
On the day when Qi Huangong led his troops back to China, Yan Zhuanggong personally saw him off. Along the way, the two chatted and walked, and the more they talked, the more speculative they were, and they unconsciously went out of the border of Yan. Until they parted, Qi Huangong suddenly remembered Zhou Li's rules and said, "Since ancient times, governors have forbidden sending princes abroad. How can you violate the rules? " He said he would cede fifty miles of land to Yanyuan. Yan Zhuanggong has got 500 Li of land. He won't take another 500 Li from Qi, but he is determined to be recognized as the overlord. He keeps his word and obeys the rules, so he has to accept it. In this way, Yan got five miles of fertile land.
When all the governors saw that they personally led the army to save Yan and won the battle, they were not greedy for land, and no one did not obey him from the heart. Since then, Qi Huangong's prestige as the overlord has been even higher.
