Chapter 51 Opportunity
The order of the great prince of Jin to dispatch troops and generals undoubtedly gave Dong Tiancheng many opportunities to take advantage of.
Perhaps in order to increase the chance of arresting Dong Tiancheng, Jin Wu, the eldest prince of Jin State, actually set his mind on the defenders in Anqiu City.
Jin Wu transferred 30,000 soldiers from Anqiu City at one time with his title of General Nan, the great prince of Jin State.
These soldiers in Anqiu City were nominally second-tier troops that maintained local public order, but because they were guarding prisoners of war in Yan Kingdom, their combat effectiveness was no weaker than the front-line field troops. In addition, the equipment of these defenders was far higher than that of other second-tier garrison troops.
Therefore, the Jin guards in Anqiu City are equivalent to an elite field force stationed in the hinterland of Jin. Many princes are coveting their abilities and attempt to control these troops in their own hands.
The reason for this is this.
It is because these princes are not fools. They know that once this army stationed in Anqiu City is controlled by them, there will be a great leader for them to seize the throne in the future.
You must know.
Now the king of Jin is sitting in the position of the king of Jin, and has been over 70 years old.
In other words.
The king of Jin has today and no tomorrow. Maybe he will die tragically at any time.
The tragic death of the king of Jin also means that the new king of Jin ascended the throne.
In this case.
A prince of Jin, who was unwilling to fail to seize the throne, had a powerful army in his hands. Whether for himself or others, there were only benefits but no harm.
In order to seize the throne.
The other princes of Jin, who were unwilling to suffer losses, transferred 30,000 defenders to Jinwu, the great prince of Jin, and each of them showed their magical powers through the sea. Through their own means, they transferred garrison guards from Anqiu City, and then organized the transferred Anqiu defenders into their respective private armies.
Jin Wen, the third prince who was second only to Jin Wu, drew 20,000 defenders from Anqiu City after Jin Wu pulled away 30,000 defenders in Anqiu City, and also drew 20,000 people from Anqiu City under the pretext of destroying Dong Tiancheng.
The two princes, Jin Wu and Jin Wen, took away half of the 100,000 Anqiu defenders at once. Even the remaining 50,000 defenders also faced the division of the other princes.
The second prince Jin army, who followed Jin Wen's footsteps, rushed to Anqiu City the third time. The lion spoke out and wanted to draw 30,000 people away. However, under the persuasion of the guard general, the second prince Jin army gritted his teeth unwillingly, gave himself a discount, and drew 15,000 people from the remaining 50,000 defenders.
After rushing to Anqiu City, the fourth prince Jinshan, behind the second prince Jin army, had to withdraw 20,000 people at the beginning. Under the threat of the garrison generals, he gave himself a discount and took away 10,000 soldiers regardless of the situation.
The fifth prince Jinshui also drew ten thousand soldiers.
The most amazing thing is that the sixth prince Jin Bing brought a garrison left in Anqiu City with a soldier exchanged for soldiers and a temporary fatigued soldier who had no combat effectiveness at all, and replaced 15,000 elite soldiers in Anqiu City.
In this way.
The Jin garrison stationed in Anqiu City all became temporary soldiers without any combat effectiveness.
Several princes unscrupulously drew troops from Anqiu City, on the one hand, for themselves and for the chair under the butt of the king of Jin, they continued to increase their strength, in order to use their strong strength to change the king of Jin, and then make them take power.
On the other hand, these princes who draw soldiers all have their own little plans in their hearts.
This little abacus is multifaceted.
First, the princes have soldiers in their hands. Even if they can't sit on that chair, they can still seize the chair with powerful force after the new king of Jin takes office.
Second, Dong Tiancheng made Jin State dirty and became a thorn in the eyes of the king of Jin State, otherwise the king of Jin would not have issued an order to kill Dong Tiancheng at all costs.
Under this command.
All the princes of Jin were motivated.
They knew that this was the most important part of their capture of the crown of Jin State. As long as Dong Tiancheng was captured, he would be recognized by the king of Jin State, and then he would sit on the chair after the king of Jin State passed away.
Third, strange ideas.
These princes, based on the strange idea that you can mobilize troops, why can't I mobilize troops, keep transferring the defenders in Anqiu City.
To put it bluntly.
These princes do this with a kind of behavior that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves.
Fourth, the same idea.
In the hearts of the princes of Jin, the people in Anqiu City were prisoners of war in Yan, but after years of hard work and no hope of returning to the country, these prisoners of war have become wooden people, and they cannot hold up any weapons in their hands.
Is a warrior who can't take up weapons still a tactic?
Obviously not.
There is still time.
Yan and Jin are enemies. Because wars are constantly fighting in Hexi, there are indeed many Yan prisoners of war in Anqiu City, but these Yan prisoners of war come to Anqiu City for the least years, and it has been more than five years.
Time is the most effective weapon to fade everything.
Over time, many prisoners of war in Yan no longer had the idea of escaping before, and instead had the idea of living a day and doing a day.
Perhaps only in the dream will these prisoners of war return to Yan State and their hometown.
The fifth is killing.
When these Yan prisoners of war in Anqiu City first came, they had the idea of breaking through and put this idea into practical actions. However, due to various reasons, these escape plans were not successful.
In addition to the failure of success, these Yan State prisoners of war who came to Anqiu City alive were also killed by the Jin army. In order not to have a collective Yue-language incident in Yan State, the Jin generals who guarded Anqiu City invented a criminal law for the joint-language criminal law, from one to one hundred to one company. In the company, as long as one person was arrested in Yue-language, the remaining ninety-nine people in the company, even if there is no Yue-language, they will be killed.
Even more unethical was that some people who were observing the Jin army, who specially created some minor accidents in order to obtain military merits and make themselves promoted and make money, so that the prisoners of war in Yan thought they could speak in a foreign language.
Little do you know.
This is a trap that people saw the Jin army deliberately causing a trap, in order to kill prisoners of war in Yan State.
After all this happens.
There were no prisoners of war in Yan State who wanted to escape. They knew that this was simply impossible. What could it do if they escaped from Anqiu City?
There is no way to survive either.
In order to facilitate management, the soldiers of Jin State who were guarding the Jin State were numbered on the faces of all Yan State soldiers using tattoos and could be recognized at a glance.
Finally, it is defense.
