There had long been rumors in Yuan City that the Qin people had mobilized a large army and would attack Yuan City. Yuan Ling sent people out to inspect the mountains and reported back that the Qin people had built a city in the valley and stationed a large army. When Yuan Ling heard the news, he already felt it was difficult to cope with it; now that he heard that another troop would be sent up from the mouth of the Qingshui River, his life would really be over. I was stunned and sweating profusely.
Yuanwei still said in a tough tone: "Yuancheng has tens of thousands of victorious soldiers and supplies of food for several months. How can we be afraid of the Qin people if we stand firm on the wall?"
Zheng Anping said: "Qin and Wei are allies, how can they raise their troops to face each other? There are few people in the walled city, and the fields are filled with those who are frozen and hungry. If we drive them to defend the city, it will be difficult to win. But the Wei people moved to their former residence in Anyi , Isn’t that a two-way street? The county governor knew that there was a shortage of Yuan Orders, so he sent tens of thousands of people to help him. If he moved to the east of the river, whether by water or land, to restore his hometown, it would be better to die than if there were too many Yuan Orders - and the crime of the Yuan Orders would be reduced. "
Yuanwei said: "The soldiers in Yuan City are strong and strong. If the people of Qin are rude, the people of Yuan will teach them!"
Zheng Anping's face changed and he said: "I gathered a hundred people at the gate of the mansion and asked them to beat the drums. I could get a thousand soldiers at once. Qin vowed not to dare to enter." He came out proudly and shouted: "Start!"
The Qin soldiers sitting in the gate of the mansion stood up at once and lined up in the court in a moment. A few sentries guarding the court wanted to come over, but when they saw that the momentum was wrong, they quickly retreated.
Yuan Ling quickly stood up and chased him out. He bowed his hands and said, "Doctor, you have not moved yet. Sir, please come to the table and we will discuss it." Zheng Anping returned to the table and sat down. Yuan Ling said: "I am not a minister who dares to betray the alliance between Qin and Wei. We have the king's order, so we have to do it. Since the governor has the order, the minister dare not resign, but without the king's order, I dare not accept it."
Chen Sidao: "This is not difficult. The Qin and Wei families are in trouble in the wall. Hedong Yi should not sit back and watch. I would like to return the soldiers to the captain to control them, to promote the people of the wall, and return to their hometown. It will be both public and private, and the king will be happy!"
Zheng Anping then raised his hands to Yuan Wei and said, "I am following the Wei's order to relocate his people."
Yuan Wei's expression changed and he was at a loss. Yuan Ling said: "This policy is very good." Then he said to Yuan Wei: "You can lead the Qin soldiers from all over the country to beat drums and gather people and announce it."
Zheng Anping said: "Captain Yuan may not be familiar with civil affairs. I hope the Prime Minister will give in!"
Under strong pressure, Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng took Zheng Anping, Chen Si, and a group of Qin soldiers, and indeed went to various villages to announce the edict of immigration. They carried the titles of Wei and Cheng, had drums and bells, and acted so solemnly that the people couldn't help but disbelieve them. Zheng Anping didn't return until the sun went down. Of course, this trip only had a promotional effect and not a single immigrant family. But they have already visited all the four villages in Yuancheng.
The next day, Zheng Anping and Chen Si went there again. Sure enough, once things get better, Lian Yuanwei is not so resistant and takes them to the countryside to announce. Chen Si pointed to a river flowing by the city and said: "We will announce it along the river."
Although this move aroused some resentment, Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng still accepted it. They drove flag and drum carts down the river, gathering villagers along the way to announce various preferential policies for immigrating to Anyi. As the sun was about to set, we found the mouth of the river. Zheng Anping said to Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng: "The time is almost over, and I can't walk at the speed of the highway, so I will stay here tonight. I will meet you again the next day."
Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng may have been worried that they would not be able to return to Yuancheng on time. Seeing that Zheng Anping and the others took the initiative to stay at the mouth of the river, they were naturally satisfied. They promised to come the next day and drove back to the city before dark. .
Zheng Anping and others found a gathering place at the mouth of the river and asked to stay overnight. The boss of the city was reluctant, but seeing that there were many people in this group, and they were very strong, and they all looked like they were not easy to mess with, he still said good things. If he was rejected, he was afraid that he would fall out in the next moment, so he had to grit his teeth and agree first. Come down, misfortunes and blessings come from heaven. Zheng Anping arranged everyone in the surrounding houses and started making fire and cooking together with the people.
Several leaders, including Zheng Anping and Chen Si, had dinner at the city lord's home. The lord of the town has a large family, including about ten men, women, old and young. Zheng Anping invited them to sit together and have a meal together. While eating, they chatted about the distance of the road here and where they would go out of the river... Some of the town lords could answer, but some could not. Chen Si asked him if there were still people in the city who made a living by ferry. The lord of the city replied that there were several boats and if you wanted to cross the river, you could find them. Chen Si was very happy. After eating, he asked the mayor to take him and Zheng Anping to the boatman's house.
After talking with the boatmen, Chen Si discovered that not all the boatmen here were familiar with all the waterways, but each had their own division of labor and only traveled in the waterways they were familiar with. Chen Si asked the boatman to find other boatmen, and they all chatted together. The boatman breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Si seemed to have some status. The soldiers all respected him and their attitude was very kind. He tried his best to please Chen Si and did not dare to disobey him. Chen Si asked him to call other boatmen, so he actually went out to call. He also sent his wife and children out to call, fearing that Chen Si's time would be missed.
Chen Si talked with these boatmen for a long time, involving many things on the waterway. Zheng Anping almost didn't speak and only listened carefully. After dinner, we kept talking about Rending, and all the boatmen left in a happy mood. Chen Si said that he wanted to take a boat trip tomorrow, and everyone said it was no problem.
The next day, after Chen Si had breakfast, he chose two soldiers with good water skills and went out to take a boat. Zheng Anping waited until almost noon before Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng came over. Xiang went to another mountain ridge to find several families and announced relevant preferential policies. Then return to the river mouth. Chen Si had been drifting on the river for a day. After returning, he reported the findings on the river to Zheng Anping. The other side of the river is actually a peak of Mount Wei. Looking at the shape of the mountain, it seems that Mianchi is on the other side of the mountain. Due to time constraints, Chen Si failed to find a passage to the mountain. It takes about half a day to go down the river to reach Mengjin. Zheng Anping said, if you can reach Mengjin by going out of the Yellow River, why do everyone still have to take the Zhi Road? Chen Sidao: "The river is very urgent and there are many dangerous shoals, so it is unusual to be able to cross it. There are few small boats that can cross it, but if there are many big boats, they will not be able to cross it. Therefore, it must go through Zhe Road. Or if you go up the river, you can When we get to Wucheng, it is dangerous and difficult to pass, so we cannot cross it."
Zheng Anping said: "It may be said that Qin entered Qingshui and attacked the wall, but he didn't know the way."
Chen Sidao said: "My lord, I sent a letter to Xianyang overnight to inquire about it. I will definitely get something."
Zheng Anping said: "It may be convenient to go down the river from Qin, and there is a way. Going up the river, it is impossible." Chen Si was also unconvinced. I went aside to light a torch and paint the "scenery" I saw today.
After the Qin people entered Yuancheng again, they changed the team leader. Mr. Zheng Anping and Mr. Xie Yan led the team with a guy who was easy to talk and recommended by Mr. Xie Yan. The population of those people is like a hanging river, and the immigrants to Anyi are said to be in the sky. Every time I go to a village, I can coax a group of people to come for consultation. Zheng Anping watched with cold eyes and noticed that both Yuan Wei and Wei Wei looked a little bad. He walked over to chat with them and finally said: "There are many people in Yuan City who are willing to go to Anyi, and it is all thanks to the Wei and Cheng. Ruo Anyi The revival is not only for the benefit of the people of Du Qin, but also for the people of Wei. They also appreciate the virtues of Wei and Cheng!" The two could only smile awkwardly and could not answer.
After that, the people of Qin went directly to the countryside and did not look for people from Yuancheng at all. The people who wanted to immigrate made an appointment with Zheng Anping, and on that day these people pulled their animals to help transport people, goods, and food. After a few days of settling down, those people from the village came back to speak with the villagers and encourage them to immigrate. Gradually, one hundred people were no longer enough. At most, Zheng Anping brought five or six hundred animals into the mountains to help with the move. These livestock naturally come from the Yi family, and the Yi family herdsmen have therefore demonstrated the value of their existence in Hedong.
After going back and forth, the people in Yuancheng became accustomed to the presence of the Qin people. Anyway, the officials in Yuancheng did not go to the countryside easily. The Qin people went to the countryside from time to time to announce some decrees, but they were recognized by the people as officials. Gradually, who I had some grievances, some family had some disputes, and they actually complained to these Qin people and listened to their decision. Zheng Anping obviously felt that an opportunity had come, so he went back and reported to Zhang Lu and Pi Wan, so he added the post of Xing Cao to his team to deal with disputes among the people. In addition to promoting immigration, he also promulgated the Qin Law. ——Yuan Ling completely lost control of the political power.
One day after the beginning of spring, Pi Wan led a thousand Qin soldiers straight into Yuancheng without being interrogated along the way. After arriving at Yuancheng, Pi Wan ordered Yuan Ling to summon all the officials to the government and announced that because Yuan Ling, Wei, and Cheng only cared about their own interests, they could not protect the people, but harmed them. Now that it was found out, they were all deposed as common people. Immediately, Chen Si, the doctor, was appointed to temporarily sign the Yuan Order, and his own military officers and meritorious officers were temporarily assigned to the Yuan Wei and Yuan Cheng; the other officials remained in their posts and advanced and retreated according to the law. A thousand Qin soldiers stayed behind to guard. From today on, the Qin law will be enforced in the walled city.
Before everyone had time to be surprised, they found that the mountain was already filled with Qin soldiers in darkness.
Zhang Lu immediately flew to report to Xianyang, and Hedong Weiwan led his prisoners to capture Yuancheng without losing anyone!
A month later, the Prime Minister of Qin's office went to Hedong, and Wan's military merits were "Ying", and he was promoted to the fifth official. All those who participated in the operation to seize the city were promoted to the first level of nobility, and the prisoners were collectively promoted to the first level. Pi Wan returned to Xianyang and was appointed as the Duke of Hedong. The official Zheng Anping was promoted to the Duke of Hedong and was still the Prime Minister of Hedong. The doctor Chen Si was promoted to the first level and became an official doctor, and was appointed as the Yuanling. The nameless hairpin was promoted to the first rank, and it was not changed, and the official title was Yuan Cheng. Pi Shiling was promoted from Pi Shiwei, and Pi Shicheng was promoted to Yuanwei. The vacant Pi Shiwei and Pi Shicheng were appointed by Hedong's talents. So Zhang Lu followed Pi Wan's recommendation and appointed his military and meritorious officers who were serving in Yuancheng to return to Pi's post.
More than ten days later, Dr. Gong Bing arrived. It turned out to be the Dr. Gong sent to Hedong by Shangjun, whom he had dealt with before. Only now did he know that Mr. Li was named Bing. Old friends meet each other and talk about the past few months ago, and everyone smiles.
Li Bing brought the records of past captures of Yuancheng that Zhang Lu asked to find. The record is very simple: "In the fifteenth year, Daliang made Baiqi and attacked Wei, took the walls and restored them." When everyone saw the five words "Daliang made Baiqi", they were all stunned for a moment!
