Former Qin Fengyun

In 371 A.D., in the Chang'an Golden Palace of the Qin State, Fu Jian, sitting on a dragon chair, was discussing matters with his ministers.Suddenly, a report officer came in from the outside, saluted and said, "Report to the Heavenly King, this is an urgent and secret letter from [-] Li, please have a look at it."

Fu Jian nodded his head slightly, and Eunuch Zhang beside him immediately walked down the hall, took the secret letter with both hands, and forwarded it to Fu Jian.Fu Jian opened the secret letter and frowned after reading it.

Li Wei went out to salute and asked: "Heavenly King, I don't know what is mentioned in the secret letter?"

Fu Jian replied: "Ma Huanwen, the chief minister of the state of Jin, led his troops to besiege Shouchun. Yuan Jin and Zhu Fu, the generals defending the city, asked Qin for help and wanted to become ministers."

Li Wei said: "Shouchun City was originally the land of the Jin State. Because the two were dissatisfied with the punishment, they rebelled. It is reasonable for the Jin State to seize this city. It is not surprising. It has been heard that Huan Wen was ill in bed for a long time. , How can you personally lead troops to attack the city now?"

But Fu Jian said disapprovingly: "There must be no one available in the Jin Dynasty."

Li Wei said slightly worried: "I hope so."

Fu Jian asked again: "What does the general mean by sending troops to Shouchun?"

Li Wei immediately said: "Heavenly King, the Qin Kingdom has not been in war for a long time, it should rest and recuperate, and it is not appropriate to start another war."

But Zhang Hao on the side came out to salute and said: "I will report to the Heavenly King, the general thinks this battle is feasible."

Fu Jian looked at him suspiciously.

Zhang Hao continued: "Shouchun is an important place for military strategists. If this city belongs to our Great Qin, it will undoubtedly cause Jin to feel more pressure and dare not fight our Great Qin."

Fu Jian felt that the two had their own reasons, and he was undecided for a while, so he said: "We will discuss this matter tomorrow, and we will withdraw from the court." After speaking, he got up and left.And the ministers saluted and went down to the palace.

In the General's Mansion, Li Feng, Liang Chen, Le Song, former officials of Yan State, and Gao Bi, Murong Chui's adviser, discussed matters with Murong Chui.

Le Song asked in bewilderment: "Why didn't the general of Caidian just agree with Zhang Hao's words, and take this opportunity to consume Qin's national strength?"

Murong Chui replied: "Hide your strengths and bide your time."

Liang Chen nodded and said, "With Wang Meng on the outside and Li Wei on the inside, it's really not suitable for the sword to show its sharpness."

Li Feng sighed lightly, and said: "If the general is the emperor, how can Yan Kingdom be destroyed?"

The crowd nodded yes.

But Murong Chui said: "Don't speak nonsense."

Liang Chen, who had a straightforward personality, said solemnly: "The general should recruit heroes to honor God's will, and the time must not be lost."

Murong Chui said with a bewildered smile: "The world is beyond your reach."

Everyone understood what it meant, it was a hint that the time had not yet come, and one should not act hastily, so they admired him very much.

Hearing the palace people shouting: "Heavenly King is here!" Princess Qinghe and Murong Chong hurried out of the palace to meet him.Fu Jian personally lifted the two of them up with both hands and walked into the Yilan Hall.Yuzhu and others set up the refreshments.

Murong Chong, who was good at observing words and expressions, saw that Fu Jian was restless, so he asked, "Does the Heavenly King have something on his mind?"

Fu Jian smiled, took his hand and said: "Shouchun was trapped by Jin, so he wanted to surrender to Qin. The ministers of the court and the Central Committee argued endlessly about this matter, so they were upset."

Princess Qinghe, who was sitting by the side, immediately glanced at Murong Chong, how could Murong Chong, who had no chance to strike, let him go easily.So, he said with a smile: "Gold and silver are priceless, but Shouchun is an important town. How can there be no reason for it? Besides, the King of Heaven and Jin have a vengeance for killing their father. Is there any reason not to avenge it?"

After Fu Jian listened, he was silent in thought.

Murong Chong continued: "The state of Qin is no longer what it used to be. The Heavenly King suffers from hard work, and the end of the Jin Dynasty is just around the corner. However, this Shouchun took the initiative to surrender, how can we ignore it?"

Princess Qinghe also said with a smile: "If the Jin Dynasty is wiped out, what are the other princes and small countries? At that time, the world will be unified, and the king of heaven will have great achievements. It is expected that the history books will be written in full, and such merits will surely be passed on to the world. For generations to come."

Fu Jian laughed out loud after hearing this.

The next day, Fu Jian appointed Yuan Jin as governor of Yangzhou and Zhu Fu as governor of Jiaozhou, and ordered Wuwei general Wang Jian and former general Zhang Hao to lead [-] troops to rescue Shouchun.

At the same time, in the camp of the Jin Army outside Shouchun City, Huan Wen, who had been coughing for a long time, saw the reporter walk in, coughed and said, "Talk."

The reporter saluted and said, "Qin sent [-] troops to rescue Shouchun."

Huan Wen smiled and said, "Fu Jian, who destroyed the Yan Kingdom, has grown a lot more courageous. How dare he intervene in this matter? Who will lead the army?"

The reporter replied: "Wang Jian, Zhang Hao."

Huan Wen looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!" Suddenly he coughed violently again.

At this time, Xi Chao, the counselor beside him, said with concern: "Da Sima."

Huan Wen raised his head slowly, and said with a wry smile: "The phoenix is ​​bathed in fire. If it is not reborn, it will be ashes. But the same is true for old people."

Xi Chao nodded.Then Huan Wen said to Huan Yi, the prefect of Huainan, and Heng Shiqian, the prefect of Nandun, his confidantes in the account, "Come here with your ears." The two walked to Huan Wen's side, and after whispering for a while, they saluted and said, "Yes." Nodded, then waved to leave.After the two went down, Huan Wen said to Xi Chao: "Thanks to your ingenious plan, you killed Tanxuan. Otherwise, how could you send me to attack the city and seize it for today's Shouchun?"

Xi Chao saluted and said, "It's my duty to offer advice to Da Sima."

Huan Wen nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Although there are only half of Jin's troops at the moment, if this battle is won, there is still a turning point. Otherwise..." Before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently again.

Xi Chao hastily poured a cup of tea and handed it to Huan Wen, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, this battle will be won."

Huan Wen nodded with a smile and drank the tea.

General Wuwei Wang Jian and former general Zhang Hao led [-] Qin troops to a mountain forest less than [-] miles away from Shouchun City, and they immediately ordered them to stop.Zhang Hao pointed to the forest and said, "General Wang, you see that there are high mountains and cliffs on one side, and a narrow stone bridge on the other side. There may be ambushes. How about..." He didn't finish speaking.

But Wang Jian said disdainfully: "In order to attack Shouchun, the Jin army will definitely surround it with all its strength. How can there be more soldiers in ambush here? General Zhang is too worried."

Although Zhang Hao wanted to say a few more words, but this time Wang Jian was the main general, so he stopped talking.Wang Jian turned around and ordered: "The generals obey the order and cross the bridge in batches."

When nearly half of the Qin army crossed the bridge safely, Wang Jian smiled and said to Zhang Hao, "How about it, General Zhang?" But before Zhang Hao could speak, he saw thousands of people rolling down from the cliff. The huge stone buried the stone bridge and divided the Qin army into two.Huan Yi and Heng Shiqian led troops to encircle and wipe out the Qin army.

When Wang Jian's face changed drastically, he immediately ordered to cross the river to save people, but Zhang Hao stopped him and said, "General, no."

Wang Jian looked at him puzzled.

Zhang Hao explained: "Our army has no ambition. If we forcefully attack them, we will surely die. Why don't we take half of the soldiers back and plead guilty to the king of heaven, so as to have a chance of survival."

Wang Jian nodded, but then asked worriedly: "If the Jin army captures Shouchun and then attacks Qin, wouldn't it be..." He didn't finish.

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "The state of Qin is different today, Huan Wen will not attack it rashly."

Wang Jian looked at the scene in front of him, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat!"

Half an hour later, the Jin army won a big victory.Huan Yi and Heng Shiqian led their troops back to the camp and returned to Huan Wen.

Huan Wen said happily: "You two have worked hard. After returning to the court, there will be a big reward."

The two saluted and thanked each other.Then Huan Yi said to Huan Wen: "Da Sima, now is a good time to attack Shouchun, so I will finally wish..." He didn't finish.

Huan Wen shook his head slightly, coughed a few times and said, "It is a good strategy to attack the city and attack the heart first."

In the early morning of the next day, the guards on Shouchun City found that the Jin army below the city was continuously carrying corpses.Half an hour later, a hill of dead people piled up under Shouchun City.Everyone watched carefully and found that these dead people were all Qin Jun, so they immediately reported the matter to Yuan Jin and Zhu Fu.

Yuan Jin and Zhu Fu were discussing the strategy of retreating in the hall when they saw a soldier hurried in, saluted and said, "I report to the two generals that something is wrong."

Yuan Jin and Zhu Fu immediately walked over quickly, and said in unison: "Speak quickly!"

The soldiers replied: "The Jin army put thousands of Qin army corpses under the city!" Yuan Jin and Zhu Fu ran out at the same time.

When the two came to the top of the city and looked down, they were both surprised.Terrified, Zhu Fu said to Yuan Jin, "What should I do?"

After a moment of thought, Yuan Jin said, "Kasong surrenders."

Zhu Fu opened his eyes wide and said, "Why? There are still thousands of soldiers in the city, and hundreds of beggars..." He didn't finish.

Yuan Jin pointed at the body of the Qin army and said, "There is no reinforcements, but Huan Wen besieged the city without attacking. The purpose is to trap us alive."

Zhu Fu argued angrily, "At least he won't die tragically."

Yuan Jin said righteously: "Since there is no doubt that he must die, why bother to let the people in the city take his life for nothing!"

Zhu Fu lowered his head.

After burning an incense stick, Yuan Jin and Zhu Fu each brought their own family members, walked out in white clothes, and knelt on the ground without saying a word.The Jin army, who had been paying close attention to the movement in the city, immediately reported to Huan Wen after seeing this.Huan Wen, who was taking medicine, was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately ordered someone to help him change his clothes.Wearing armor and riding a BMW, he led all the Jin troops out of the camp.

When Huan Wen came in front of Yuan Jin, Zhu Fu and the others, he first smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Heng Shiqian beside him: "Send the male to Jiankang to be beheaded for public display, and the female relatives will reward the officers and men. "After hearing this, the female family members cried out the names of Yuan Jin and Zhu Fu.But the two bowed their heads in silence, allowing the Jin army to tie them up and take them away.

At this moment, hundreds of beggars rushed out of the city, knelt in front of Huan Wen, saluted and said, "I beg Da Sima to spare my life, I will be used by Da Sima."

But Huan Wen waved his hand lightly, and the Jin army immediately surrounded him.The begging army looked at Huan Wen in confusion, but Huan Wen said calmly, "I've wronged you by killing one as an example." Then he said sharply, "Catch him and bury him alive immediately!"

A beggar army headed anxiously shouted: "Why?"

Huan Wen replied: "You and others are all Han Chinese. Only by doing this can the court be shocked." As soon as the words fell, the Jin army rushed over with weapons in hand.For a while, the screams continued.

At this time, Huan Wen asked Xi Chao: "Can the Emperor Jin take the Zen throne with me?"

Xi Chao shook his head and said: "Emperor Jin has been in power for many years, and Xie An and his like will definitely not compromise easily. Why don't Da Sima follow the example of Huo Guang in Xia Dynasty, Yiyin and Han Dynasty, and abolish the emperor in order to rebuild the authority."

Huan Wen nodded and said: "If you take Shouchun, you will have the whole Yuzhou in your hands. Moreover, this place is relatively close to Jiankang. If you don't follow suit, taking Jiankang is as easy as flipping your palm."
