Le Yi Vaqi
In the thirty-first year of the Reign of Zhou Zhao (284 BC), King Zhao of Yan appointed Le Yi as a general and led the combined forces of Yan, Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Han to attack Qi. King Qi Tang urgently mobilized the national army to meet the battle. The two armies fought a decisive battle west of Jishui, and the Qi army was defeated and the main force was annihilated. Subsequently, Le Yi's army swept through the Qi territory and captured more than seventy cities and pools in the State of Qi, including the Qi capital Linzi. At the same time, in order to divide the Qi land, the State of Chu sent Huan Ya to lead troops into Qi and killed the King of Qi. At this time, the State of Qi was left with only two isolated cities, Ju and Jimo, and its destruction was imminent.
However, the chaotic world is a hero, the situation creates heroes, and the crisis of the State of Qi provides Tian Dan with an opportunity to show his wizardry and direct a good scene of Jedi counterattack and shocking reversal.
Tian Shan was a distant relative of the Tian Qi clan. During the reign of King Qi Tang, he was not reused, but was just a petty official in Linzi who managed the order of the market. When the Yan army drove Zhiren, Tian Dan left Linzi and went to Anping. Later, the Yan army attacked Anping, and Tian Dan led his people to flee to Jimo. Later, the Yan army came to attack Jimo again, and the defending officials of Jimo went out of the city to meet the enemy, and were defeated and killed. Jimo City is leaderless and people's hearts are uneasy. The soldiers and civilians in the city heard that Tian Dan knew military affairs, so they jointly elected him as a general and led the people to resist the Yan army.
Objectively speaking, although Tian Shan Zhi is brave and complete, if the Yan Kingdom is still the golden partner of Yan Zhaowang and Le Yi in charge of the military and politics, the possibility of Tian Shan turning over is very small. However, the Qi state was not exhausted, and in the thirty-sixth year of King Zhao of Zhou (279 BC), King Yan Zhao suddenly died of illness. His son succeeded to the throne as King Hui of Yan. At this time, the relationship between the monarch and the subject of the Yan kingdom was different from that of the yan zhao king.
After hearing the news of the discord between King Hui of Yan and Le Yi, Tian Dan immediately sent people to infiltrate the State of Yan and spread rumors that the reason why the Yan army could not attack Jimo and Jucheng for a long time was because Le Yi wanted to support the army and establish himself as king in the State of Qi, and if the State of Yan changed a general, the State of Qi would be doomed immediately.
Like countless monarchs in history who self-destructed the Great Wall, King Hui of Yan easily fell into the divisive scheme, replaced Le Yi with a mediocre general called The Raider, and took command of the Yan army. Le Fu had no choice but to defect to the Zhao Kingdom, and the soldiers of the Yan Army were very dissatisfied with this general transfer. Tian Dan said that the time had come to counterattack.
Some people once commented that Tian Dan was good at surprise troops and used strange tactics, and in order to deal with the Yan army besieging Jimo, Tian Dan made a total of four moves.
The first trick is to forge miracles, "God's word deceives the people." Tian Dan first issued an order that every family in the city should sacrifice their ancestors in the courtyard before eating. In this way, many birds were attracted to hover over Jimo City, and then fall into the city to compete for the food of the sacrifice. The Yan army outside the city looked at it and felt very strange. Tian Shan then publicized to the outside world: "This indicates that there will be gods and immortals who will guide us in fighting wars, and I will soon worship a god as a teacher." Then, Tian Shan found a soldier and packaged him as a god and an immortal, and every time he gave orders in the future, he said that it was the idea of the god man and the immortal master.
The second trick is to re-cast a counterattack and play the enemy in the palm of the hand. Tian Dan let people let out a loud noise and said, "I am afraid that the Yan army will cut off the noses of the captured Qi soldiers and put them in the front of the line to engage us, which will frighten our army to lose its fighting spirit." The brainless Yan would hear this and immediately follow suit. As a result, the Qi people in the city saw that the soldiers had all cut off their noses, and they were all enraged and defended the city with all their might, lest the city be broken and captured by the enemy. Tian Shan then said, "I am really afraid that the Yan people will dig up the grave outside our city and insult the bones of our ancestors. After yan jun heard about it, he immediately dug up all the graves of the Qi people and burned all the bones of the corpses. When the Jimo people saw the atrocities of the Yan army from the city, everyone wept bitterly and asked to go out of the city to fight.
Tian Shan saw that his own morale had reached its peak, and immediately used a third move: to deceive the enemy. He ordered all the elite troops under his command to be ambushed, let the old and weak women go to the city wall to defend, and then sent emissaries to agree with the Yan army on surrender, and then collected the gold of the people, and let the rich people in Jimo City take it to the Yan army, begging them: "Tian Dan is about to surrender, and I hope that after you enter the city, you will not burn and plunder to ensure our safety." The general of the Yan army was very happy and agreed with his mouth. As a result, Yan Jun completely relaxed his vigilance.
All the preparations are done, and all that's left is time for the swords and soldiers to meet and decide the winner or loser. So Tian Dan used the last move, and the most powerful move, the Fire Bull Array. He recruited more than a thousand cattle from the city, draped them in quilts made of red silk, painted with colorful dragon motifs, tied sharp knives to the horns, and tied reeds to the tails of the oxen to pour grease. At night, Tian Shan ordered his men to cut dozens of holes in the city wall, light the reeds on the tail of the ox, and then drive the cattle out of the hole in the wall. The cow's tail was burned hot,
Frantically rushed to the Yan army camp. At the same time, Tian Dan dispatched five thousand elite soldiers, closely following the fire bull to attack the Yan army. It all happens suddenly at night. The Yan soldiers watched a group of monsters with tails on fire and dragon-shaped patterns rushing towards them, and when they touched them, they were either dead or injured, and they couldn't help but panic and the military was in turmoil. Five thousand elite Qi troops then covered up and killed, all of them with one to ten, and their courage was unstoppable. And the people in the city beat drums and shouted to cheer for the party, and even the old and weak women and children were holding bronze objects, desperately knocking, and all kinds of sounds and waves converged together, and the momentum was earth-shattering. The Yan army was defeated and fled, and the lord of the Yan state would die in the rebellion.
Taking advantage of the momentum of the great victory, Tian Dan led his army to pursue and fight fiercely, and the cities he passed through all turned their backs on the Yan Kingdom and threw themselves at Tian Dan. Tian Dan's troops grew larger and larger, and with a single blow, they drove the Yan army to the edge of the Yellow River. It turned out that more than seventy cities and pools in the State of Qi had all been recovered.
At this time, the people of Jucheng had already established the son of King Qi Tang as the new King of Qi, that is, King Xiang of Qi. After Tian Dan regained the lost land, he welcomed King Qi Xiang back to the capital City of Linzi. In order to reward this greatest hero of the restoration, King Xiang of Qi gave Tian Shan the title of An Ping Jun.
