Chapter 183 Qin Kai's Sorrow
The one who led the Yan State army was Qin Kai, who was born in the Qin family of Lu State. At that time, the most famous general of Yan State and one of the famous generals in the late Warring States Period.
But this time, he was very unlucky because his deputy was the Yan Duke General, Prince Qijie, who was beautiful compared to Zhao Kuo. His name was very strong, but his human being was very despicable.
In this way, as an outsider of the gentry, Qin Kai, led the Qijie, who was born in the public clan, a kind of sadness was naturally formed.
When Zhao Huang, the envoy of Zhao State's supreme army, walked into the Yan State's military camp, Qin Kai knew that this matter was so big that it was too big.
Zhao Huang did not wait for Qin Kai and others to speak, and immediately read out the protests of the king of Zhao against Yan's undeclared war, explaining that this was inconsistent with Zhou Li, and then pointed out that Yan's serious interference in other countries' internal affairs, especially the indignation of the king of other countries' marries his wife. In the end, he did not ask the other party to withdraw his troops and apologize, and then everyone thought nothing had happened. Instead, he waved his sleeves and threw a sentence: "The king of our country decided to go to Yan's capital in person to question King Kuai of Yan's inappropriateness, unwiseness, and uncivility (Ming)"
The meaning is quite clear, you have to fight, fight back, and you have to fight to the capital of Yan State.
The anger of the common people is just to steal the land with their heads, the anger of a clan is just an armed battle, the anger of the king will surely flow blood. And the consequences of a warlike and powerful Zhao State are definitely serious.
The battle between Yan and Zhao has been around for a long time, but Yan, a seven hundred-year-old prince, has been in a passive state of being beaten in front of the emerging Zhao State, which cannot be denied.
So, Qin Kai immediately transformed an aggressive war into a defensive war to defend the enemy outside the country's gate. He stopped attacking Zhuolu, then retreated to the spoon land to defend himself, and at the same time conveyed the anger of the king of Zhao to King Kuai of Yan and asked him to make a decision.
Qi Jie disagreed with the sudden retreat of the army, "The king handed over 200,000 troops to us to fight against disobedience and uphold morality, which was to uphold the ethics of Zhou. However, it was just a lobbyist, a document from Zhao Yong's son, who made us waste nearly a month here. This is not only a humiliation for us to preserve the ethics of sages, but also a humiliation for our Dayan. I firmly oppose the withdrawal of troops." Then he pointed to Zhuolu Pass: "Since Zhao Yong's son is here, it's just right, we don't have to travel thousands of miles to Handan to capture him. Just here to teach them how to be a human being."
Qin Kai faced this authentic royal family. Although he was his deputy, he still had to be patient and politely advised: "Originally, our 200,000 Yan army attacked Zhuolu, were exhausted. Although he suffered heavy losses, he did not make any breakthroughs. General, you should know that at that time we were only facing a small Daijun army. But now Zhao Jun arrived with 100,000 elite troops, and we had no chance of winning anymore. In fact, as soon as Zhao Jun's flag came out at Zhuolu Pass, our war was over. If we continued to waste here, there would be no meaning."
Qi Jie proudly refuted: "Yan established the country with filial piety and maintained the orthodox Zhou rituals for more than 700 years. The Zhou emperor was incompetent and could not punish the injustice of the princes in various places. We should raise this banner and maintain the order of etiquette in the world. Zhao Yong's son did not respect his mother's order, did not talk about filial piety, and forced his mother to leave. Such disobedient children must be conquered. If we were to waste all our efforts, to put it in a small way, we gave up on maintaining the morality of sages. To put it in a big way, we would think that we were afraid of Zhao Yong's son. This is a great humiliation to our Yan State and will shake the foundation of our great power."
Of course, in a word of qualitative talk, one can speak. The skill of verbal skills is absolutely outstanding. At this time, Qi Jie talks freely, which is really reasonable and powerful, and makes a truly practical general really speechless and speechless.
In fact, the situation was very frustrating. He was a general, but his deputy was a real public clan, which caused conflicts in his identity. In the first generation of Yan State, the most important thing is his origin. The nobles were nobler than other clans at all times. Even if a fool said something, he was more convinced and respected than a person from the wisest aristocratic family. Although everyone knew that what the fool said was wrong, his aristocratic background decided that he was right.
For example, the one in front of him is a public clan and aristocrat. It is wrong to let one's own aristocrat command and control a public clan. Because, due to tradition, the soldiers below are more willing to obey this and only talk big.
Two hundred thousand troops attacked Dai County. Before Qin Kai, he firmly opposed the wise men in the court because this was injustice.
It is really unnecessary for King Kuai of Yan to launch this war with the attitude of maintaining the saints and learning from the saints. If it is really to maintain the ethics of the rules and regulations, as long as you send an envoy to Handan with a reproached letter. By then, Zhao Yong admits his mistake because of shame and everyone is happy, and King Kuai of Yan will gain a good reputation. If Zhao Yong does not accept it, then no matter how big the attack is, he will become famous and will receive support from the Wei State and even Qin State, which has been peeping at Zhao State, and there is almost a 100% chance of victory.
As a result, if you send troops to attack, there is no excuse, other princes will not take action. And if Yan alone deals with Zhao, is it less frictional to be pinned on the ground by Zhao? At that time, Zhao Yong will just bully the small one by bullying the small one by the big one, and the other is high-sounding, which will make you feel bad and humiliate yourself.
Of course, Qin Kai also knew that because of Kuai's real purpose, he just succeeded to the throne and wanted to establish his image of holy in Yan State.
When Zizhi launched this war, he was not going to divert the resistance brought by the country to his peeping position.
Is the fact that Empress Dowager Zhao launched this war really because she was wronged? No, because he found that his son didn't obey his own mercy, because Dai County was too rich. Also, Zhao Xing's title had already threatened the Zhao family's country, and he wanted to use the Yan State to destroy Zhao Xing.
But no matter how dirty the reason is, you should find a legitimate reason to cover it up. After all, this is not popular in this era.
Well, the battle has started, so there is no need to complain about anything anymore, just fight.
As a result, the superior sent him this aristocratic bastard who was eager to show off. Originally, if he took down a small turbid deer and attacked Dai County, he would give himself a 100,000 army, and by the number of people, he would only be defeated by five days or up to ten days.
But it was this guy who only knows how to talk about war on paper, pointing fingers, saying that he would cherish his soldiers and insist on using a catapult to smash the turbid deer little by little.
Of course, I cherish the soldiers and got the support of the soldiers. As a result, I took the turbid deer in one fell swoop when Zhao Xing was away and Dai County was headless. Now, the army was exhausted for a month, and that boy Zhao Yong came. If you think about turbid deer, just think about it.
The wisest decision now is to withdraw the army and use envoys to solve the problem. As a result, the guy from this public clan jumped out to oppose it and continued to fight the country of Zhao.
Seeing that the soldiers were still flattering and supporting Qi Jie and denying their strategies, Qin Kai could only sigh to the sky: "Why did God let me have ambitions be born in a gentry? Could it be that these 200,000 troops ended in vain and heavy losses?"
In fact, when he was lamenting, he had optimistically overestimated the fate of his and the 200,000 Yan Army, because at this time, Zhao Xing had already started to launch.
