Daqin Great Wall Corps can reach Xianyang in five days. Why should a tax official resist the rebels?

The Last Bright Moon of Daqin-Zhang Han, Defeated General (2)

Editor-in-chief: Jianghu idleness

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), a rainstorm in osawa Township ruined the national fortune of Daqin Empire. Led by leader Chen Guang, the 900-year-old soldier who was delayed by rain shouted, "What kind of prince would you rather have?" Chop firewood for soldiers, rise up, gather tens of thousands of soldiers in an instant, and win a large piece of Chu's hometown. Heroes from all directions were moved by the wind and killed local Qin government officials one after another. Sending troops in response to Chen Sheng, Shandong, the land of six countries, thousands of anti-Qin armed forces were everywhere, and a single spark started a prairie fire in an instant.

In the face of this trend that a single spark can start a prairie fire, Chen Sheng decided to attack in all directions, seize territory in all directions and expand his power:

Journey to the south: Old friend Chen Wu is the general, Shao Sister-in-law is the commander, Zhang Er and Chen Yu are the left and right captains, with an army of 3,000, and Zhao Di is slightly north.

The second way is to recruit soldiers in the south: take Deng Zong, a Chu man, as a general and attack Jiujiang County in the south, which is Shouchun, the original capital of Chu State.

The Third Route Western Expedition Army: With Zhou and Ren Wei as generals, it attacked Wei to the west.

The Fourth Route East Expedition Army: With Zhao Ping, a native of Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu) as the general, occupied the land of wuyue eastward.

The Fourth Route Army belongs to a partial division, aiming at grabbing territory. The real main force of Chen Sheng also launched at the same time, and went straight to Xianyang, Qin Dou:

The first way: Take Guangwu as the fake king (acting as the king), and the generals such as Tian Cang and Li Gui will attack Xingyang in the old Korean land in the west, knocking at the entrance to the customs (Hangu Pass) to attack the gate of Qin.

The second way: Take Liu Song, a Chu, as the general, and lead his troops slightly to Nanyang to explore Wuguan (the southeast gateway of Guanzhong, located in the southeast of Fengdan, Shaanxi), and cooperate with Wu Guangjun from the flank (this is also the way for Liu Bang to enter the customs in the future).

All the troops are progressing smoothly, but the most important army along the way has problems. Chen Sheng's deputy Guangwu's army suffered many setbacks at the gates of Xingyang, and it could not be captured for a long time-they met a powerful opponent. Xingyang Shoujiang is the son of Li Si, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty, and Li You, the chief of Sanchuan County. As a so-called hero of Laozi, Li You lived up to his father's name, but with a city of soldiers, he kept Zhang's absolute main force, which was later launched for Qin.

Seeing that the attack on Qin was blocked, Chen Sheng called counselors to discuss countermeasures. Fang Jun Cai Cijian consulted, and Chen Sheng chose another famous soldier, bypassed Xingyang, rushed into Hangu Pass directly, and took Xianyang. Bobby Chen is very good at this and is very satisfied with it. Therefore, Cai Ci was named as a pillar country (the official name of Chu is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of Qin, and its position is slightly inferior to that of Ling Yin). Cai Mao then recommended Chen Ren Zhou Wen, saying that this person is proficient in the art of war and deserves great responsibility.

Who's Zhou Wen?

Zhou Wenyuan is a Japanese official under Xiang Yan, a famous Chu State. He participated in the Qin Chu War at the end of the Warring States Period and was also an aide to Chu Chunshen. He is a rare military talent in Zhang Chu. Chen Sheng gave his general's seal and ordered him to lead another army westward and plunge into the heart of the Qin Dynasty.

This move is still wonderful. Qin Jun's main force in Kanto was pinned down by Guangwu and Liu Song. Zhou Wen basically didn't encounter any resistance along the way. On the contrary, due to the continuous participation of people along the way, when it came to Hanguguan, Zhou Wenjun had soared to thousands of cars and hundreds of thousands of people died.

The little ant became a monster.

Hanguguan is known as the strongest pass in the world, and it is surrounded by dangers. It is actually the life support line of Guanzhong and Qin. In those days, six countries in Shandong cut down Qin several times and buried millions of corpses, and never knocked on its door once. It is with it that Qin Jin can pass customs, fight for deer, retreat and protect itself. Some people say that there would be no Daqin Dynasty without the danger of Hangu Pass, which is not unreasonable.

However, this time, the Hangu Pass was easily breached by Zhou Wen. Since the establishment of the State of Qin, Xian Zhen, Wuqi, King Wuling of Zhao, Lian Po, Zhao She, Wei Wuji and other pre-Qin celebrities have been blocked, but they were easily broken by a nobody! !

Why, why is this happening! ? The answer is simple, because in this critical autumn, Hangu Pass was not heavily guarded by Qin, but almost opened the door to let "robbers" in.

Qin Ershi is really a big idiot who can only eat and pull. Customs clearance has been surging, and Qin Gong is still crowing. One urgent document after another, but Qin Ershi ignored it. He always thought he was invincible, but he was just a little coach, and he had to bother me, damn it! So the envoys of the Commissioner went to prison one by one on charges of cheating the monarch. Seeing that no one who tells the truth will come to a good end, everyone has to tell him some "white" lies: "Thieves and dogs steal, and the county magistrate and Wei Fang catch them one by one. There is nothing to worry about now. "

Qin Ershi exultation, continue to crowing.

Wuqi said to Wei Wuhou on the river "in? Is Hui Yuan well protected? What's the problem? Break the glass? /p & gt；

When hundreds of thousands of troops from Zhou Wen rushed into Hanguguan and killed all the way to the war zone dozens of miles outside Xianyang (Lintong, Shaanxi), Qin Ershi suddenly woke up and fell under the dragon seat, panicking: "What can I do?"

Ministers are speechless and cannot talk nonsense. If they say something wrong, they will be beheaded. Safety comes first.

Not to mention the generals, the death of military leader Montaigne has made everyone chilling. Even if they dare not resist II at this moment, they will all become idle workers who don't work hard, and they will find another way out if they have the opportunity.

So will the generals in Guanzhong, not to mention the two main armies of Daqin Empire! Relying on the "straight road" of the military expressway built in Meng Tian, Wang Li led the 300,000 Great Wall Corps to rescue Xianyang for five days, but he deliberately delayed the time and made many excuses. He always said that he was preparing, but he just wouldn't leave. His Qin Ershi liver would explode, but there was nothing he could do.

From the beginning of Wang Jian and Wang Jia, three generations of Mongols and Wang Jia became irreversible old partners in the war of unifying the world in Daqin Empire. That's a century-old friendship! Therefore, the death of my old friend Meng Tian was a great blow to Wang Li, and the result was expected.

Not to mention Zhao Tuo's five hundred thousand Lingnan Corps, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They simply pretended not to hear, blocked the pass, and called themselves king.

This is the influence of a famous star on the world. Who would have thought that the death of Meng Tian alone led to the collapse of the entire military of the Daqin Empire?

In this way, history has to choose a fiscal and taxation official whose military achievements are less than eight poles to make a dying struggle for the Daqin Empire.

At this point, our hero Zhang Han finally appeared in history. At this time, he was holding the post of "Shaofu" in the Qin Dynasty. "Shaofu, the master is in charge of the tax of Shanze pit to support * * *, and the official is up to nine grades." In other words, the official position of Shaofu is equivalent to the finance minister and the chief of the interior. Who are the officials who are responsible for supplying the emperor with respect for the crown, clothes, food, acres, seats and ministers? Are subordinate officials of Shaofu. It can be said that Shaofu is not only an important official of the imperial court, but also a close minister of the emperor, and it is also a well-paid job. However, Zhang Han is not a greedy person. In this critical autumn, what he wants is not how to make money, but how to save Daqin.

When the world is in chaos, the most influential ones are local taxes and fishing taxes. Who knows customs clearance better than Zhang Han, a junior official? In the past six months, he knew exactly where he had fallen and where there was peace.

Zhang Han said, "Now there are many thieves who are forced to send troops near the county seat. I'm afraid it is too late. There are many servants in Mount Li. Please forgive me. Give me all the weapons, and the envoys will lead troops to attack it, but they can return the thieves. "

There is no way. Relying on the army of 50,000 lieutenants in Xianyang to resist the army of hundreds of thousands of Zhou Wen is tantamount to throwing eggs at a stone. The Qin army near several big counties has certain fighting capacity, but the number is too small. Since Wang dared not expect anything, he had to repair the imperial tomb and Epang Palace at the foot of Mount Li. There are as many as 700,000 people, and they are just outside Xianyang. Get organized right away.

However, this unique solution will have great consequences. You know, 700,000 servants of Mount Li came from imperial counties, not only Qin people, but also people from six countries. When these people go to the front, they won't look back. Even if you don't fight back, there is no guarantee that you won't run away on the way. Letting so many heavily armed war criminals go through customs is tantamount to releasing countless resistance forces from Pandora's box, and the world will be even more chaotic!

But Zhang Han and Qin Ershi have no other way to think. If Zhang attacks Xianyang, everything will be finished. Keep the castle peak in the future. It's called quenching thirst by drinking poison. Even if it is a cup of poisoned wine, they should drink it all at once, take a risk and have a good time!

Come on, criminals, take up arms and fight. If you win, I will set you free!

At this point in history, we discovered that it was a mistake for Qin Shihuang to send 500,000 troops to the south. If there are 500,000 main forces, can Zhou capture Hangu Pass so easily? We now know that the people of six countries among the 700,000 torturers did not turn back on the battlefield, but many of them escaped. By the time of the Battle of Julu, there were only 200,000 soldiers in Zhang Han, all of whom were Qin people. These people should include the Qin people who survived Lishan, as well as the counties that Zhang Han collected after entering the customs. This is another story, don't say it.

We can see that Zhang Han is really a man of great courage. When the empire was dark, everyone was protecting themselves. Only Zhang Han resolutely gave up Shaofu's well-paid job and stepped forward to save the day. What courage! Due to the lack of historical records, we don't know whether we have ever taken a soldier, but even if he did, he shouldn't have taken much, otherwise Qin wouldn't have said nothing to him when he destroyed the six countries. Then, as a tax official with almost no military experience, what courage is it to lead more than 700,000 mixed troops with unclear political inclination to fight this world war I that determines the fate of Daqin!
