Chapter 18 Late Bloomer (II)

Great Qin's prediction was indeed correct, and the situation was unfolding step by step according to the empire's plan. Qi, Wei, Han, the three kingdoms to Chu and Qin alliance, the destruction of the joint attack on Chu, the king of Zhaoxiang has long been ready to go, immediately sent troops to rescue Chu, even captured the Wei state of Puhan, Yangchun, Fengling three places, Wei retreated and held on, Zhaoxiang King ordered to attack Korea, the army captured Wusui, the three kingdoms of the alliance collapsed instantly, had no choice but to form an alliance with Qin.

The lights flickered, and on several cases in the glow, a moth fluttered around the candle, shadowing the light in the room flickering and dimming. The young King Zhaoxiang stood on the side of the candle flame, his eyes were like smoke, and a kind of amazement was circulating in his eyes, and at this time, King Zhaoxiang's mother, Empress Dowager Xuan, and his uncle Wei Ran were sitting in the hall discussing the future of the empire.

Empress Dowager Xuan's Xiukou slowly muttered: "This time the collapse of the alliance is Qin's next step." ”

Wei Ran's words were picked up quickly, and he said forcefully: "Qin's offensive against the Six Kingdoms should take advantage of the contradictions between the Six Kingdoms and unite small countries with weak big countries, so that Qin can be strong!" As he spoke, Wei Ran glanced at King Zhaoxiang again, and continued: "And now, the strongest among the six eastern kingdoms is none other than the Chu State. King Huai of Chu has destroyed the Yue Kingdom, occupied the land of Wu Yue, and attacked Wei, Shihan, and Song Dynasty to the north, and the territory of Chu has expanded unprecedentedly. And the king of Chu Huai, who was still greedy and insufficient, coveted the fertile land of Bashu and Hanzhong in Great Qin, and attacked the land of Shu fiercely. For Great Qin, King Chu Huai was extremely terrifying. ”

"Now the State of Chu is the biggest enemy of Great Qin, and if you want to encroach on the Six Kingdoms, you must first encroach on Qiang Chu. So this first knife should start with Chu State! ”

Empress Dowager Xuan also showed a rare smile when she heard this, she glanced back at King Zhaoxiang who was cowering on one side, and said leisurely: "Then unite Han, Wei, and Qi, who have just formed an alliance with us, and forcibly attack Chu to force Chu to ally with us, and at that time." ”

A gleam flashed in Empress Dowager Xuan's eyes, "Leave King Huai again." ”

"Smack!" With a bang, the candle flame was extinguished.

King Zhaoxiang slowly returned to the palace, although he felt that his mother and uncle were right, but he still felt the humiliation and embarrassment of the monarch, and there was no loss of honor and pride.

Starlight is still the same, but the world is about to change greatly.

In this year, Qin, Han, Wei, Qi, the four kingdoms attacked Chu, defeated Chu in Chongqiu, killed the Chu general Tang Yuan, and Qin sent Huayang Jun to attack Chu, beheaded 30,000, killed the Chu general Jing Quan, captured Xiangcheng, Chu Huai King was forced by the pressure of the Qin army, and had no choice but to ally with the Zhaoxiang King in Wuguan.

On the Wuguan, the sand and dust are filled, and the remnant sun shines coldly. King Zhaoxiang sat on the frame and looked at King Huai with a smile, King Huai of Chu smiled unnaturally, as if he had returned to the time of the alliance that day, he was a little grateful to this King of Chu Zhaoxiang, if it wasn't for King Chu at that time, he would definitely not be able to get the power he has today, at this peaceful time, next to King Zhaoxiang, Wei Ran, who was standing across the horse, waved his hand. I saw the black and oppressive Qin army coming from all sides.

Swords, guns, swords, halberds, iron armor, the sound of metal collision constantly swept over the ears of King Zhaoxiang, their actions only listened to the command of the Marquis, Wei Ran's face was gloomy, and the long sword flashed with cold light, which also made King Zhaoxiang cold.

Before King Huai, who was at a loss, could react, he was trampled under his feet by Wei Ran. Since then, he has been detained in Great Qin, and when he left, he was already a dead body.

The Qin army attacked Chu in a big way, King Zhaoxiang personally sat in town, a white-robed young general on the battlefield fought bravely to kill the enemy, and successively killed the opponent's army * leader to attract the attention of King Zhaoxiang, if you want to regain power, you must establish your own team, the army * leader is the most important, Wei Ran is good at fighting, King Zhaoxiang has to be reused, just want to take back his own power Wei Ran can only be abolished, the first step is to find the right person to replace this person.

"Take that white-clothed boy to see the king!"

The soldier agreed, and after a short time, he brought the man to the front and came forward to salute, "I have seen the king!" ”

"Who are you and what position are you?"

The man saluted, "The last general Bai Qi, originally a Chu person, came to the Qin State to avoid chaos, and he was tired of military exploits!" "It's not a position in the army, the 20th level of military merit of the Qin State, from low to high: Gongshi, Maker, Hairpin, Not More, Doctor, Official Doctor, Gong Doctor, Gong Cheng, Five Doctors, Left Chief, Right Chief, Left Chief, Middle Chief, Right More, Shao Shangzao, Da Liang Zao, Carriage Chief, Dashu Chief, Guannei Hou, Che Hou.

"This king saw that you killed the opponent's master several times and caused the opponent to flee, in terms of military merits, one game is enough to be promoted to a doctor, why is it just not done now?"

Bai Qi sighed and said: "Bai Qi is a Chu person, not a Qin family, although he is not changing it now, as long as he makes military merits, he can be promoted to a doctor." "From the white eyes, you can see the fanaticism for war and the desire for power, what King Zhaoxiang wants is such a person, if a person without the slightest desire can not succeed at all.

"The Qin law stipulates that if anyone who makes military merits does not ask about their status, they will be rewarded for their merits, but someone will not succeed in favoritism!" Shang Ying stipulated: As long as the soldiers of the Qin State captured the enemy's 'Jiashi' [officer] with a head, they could obtain the first-class knighthood [Gongshi] and Tian Yiqing. a house and a servant. The more heads you kill, the higher the title you get. The evidence is the head of the enemy [head]. That is, after the war, cut off the enemy's head and bring it back to the barracks. Evidence of action.

The Shang Dynasty changed the law of the Qin State from weak to strong, also because the laws were too strict, which involved the interests of the world and was controversial, and finally ended up in a car split, but the law of the Shang Dynasty has been used.

Bai Qi said: "Bai Qi should bravely kill the enemy and make military merits!" ”

King Zhaoxiang nodded, what he needed was such a person, as a Chu and Qin clan, he had no relationship with the Qin family, he was brave in battle, and he was upright, "This king knows the most talent, and I will give you the lord of the public ride today." ”

Bai Qi raised his head, "Bai Qi will definitely repay the king's kindness with death!" ”

Facts have proved that King Zhaoxiang's move is correct, Bai Qi showed outstanding command ability, every battle must attack first, take the lead in the three armies, but also do not take the siege of the city and land as the only goal, to annihilate the enemy's living forces as the main purpose of the annihilation war thinking, good at field attack, battle must seek annihilation, heavy vision warfare fortifications, first lure the enemy from the fortification position, and then build a fortress in the expected enemy area to prevent the enemy from breaking through.

The Qin State imprisoned the King of Chu Huai, the Chu people were furious, sent troops to attack Qin, the Chu State was not under the Qin State, the two sides had a big battle, Bai Qi reappeared Shenwei, led a team of elite cavalry to constantly attack the Chu State camp, and everywhere he went, the people turned on their horses, and the Chu State was defeated and retreated, and did not dare to march from then on.

King Zhaoxiang appointed Bai Qi as a general, promoted to the head of the left, determined to attack Yique, open the door to enter the Central Plains, Han and Wei with Gongsun Xi as the main general, led the coalition army of 240,000 into Yique to meet the attack. Yique is the gateway of Han and Wei, the two mountains confront each other, Yishui flows in the meantime, the view is like a que, and the terrain is dangerous. At that time, the strength of the Qin army was less than half of the coalition army, and the coalition army had already held the danger and was in a confrontational situation. In the following year, Bai Qi, who was promoted to the left guard, aimed at the weakness of the Han and Wei armies watching each other and not being willing to attack first, pinned down the main Han army of the coalition army with a small number of troops, and attacked the weaker Wei army with the main force.

The Wei army was unprepared, rushed to the battle, and was quickly defeated. The Han army was frightened, and its flanks were exposed, and it was flanked by the Qin army, and fled in defeat. Bai Qi took advantage of the victory and waved his division to pursue, completely annihilated the Han and Wei coalition forces, captured Gongsun Xi, captured Yique, and captured five cities. South Korea's elite has been lost. The Qin State expanded to the Central Plains with an irresistible momentum, and was promoted to the middle guard because of merit. He also crossed the Yellow River and captured the land east of Anyi in Korea to the Qianhe River.

Bai Qi led his troops to capture the Wei State, occupying sixty-one large and small cities, and then jointly captured the walled city with the Keqing Sima Cuo, and the Qin Zhaoxiang King attacked the Chu State in the 28th year, capturing five cities such as Yan and Deng. In the following year, he captured Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, burned Yiling, and marched eastward to Jingling, where King Xiang of Chu fled from Yingdu and took refuge in Chen. The Qin State took Yingdu as the southern county. Bai Qi was named Wu Anjun. Bai Qi attacked the state of Chu again and pacified the two counties of Wu and Qianzhong.

Qin, in the wind and rain of Xiao Xiao, invincible, King Zhaoxiang has achieved unprecedented hegemony in his own way, countless wars in his life, with the world in mind, and now a war about fate is also coming, among the six countries, only Zhao can compete with Qin, if Zhao, Qin can raise troops to unify the world.
