Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 25 The Conspiracy to Destroy Korea
Today's Chaohe Hall was very deserted, empty and silent, no one walked by, and no sound came from it.

There was only a dim oil lamp in the hall, flickering faintly in the dim light.

The hall was empty, except for the oil lamp, there was nothing else, except for that figure.

Wei Wangyu was alone, his gaze was looking forward, the place was dark, his body was straight, and there was a slight chill in his eyes, as if he had reached the limit.

As the helm of the Wei state, he must endure until he makes a choice. This is a torment, but he must endure.

It's just that he's old and can't wait any longer.

Attack Yan to rescue Zhao, take the land east of the river; attack all the lands of Si and Wei; add troops to Qi, privately pacify the capital of Ah; , The matter of Zhaoling, the Jing army was defeated; the soldiers were scattered all over the world, and the prestige was in the crown of the country. This is the portrayal of his life.

Wei Guo is no longer the Wei Guo of the past, he is no longer young, his heart is getting old, but he is still not reconciled.

After the Battle of Changping, Qin State wanted to destroy Zhao. At that time, he joined Chu, bribed Yan, and An Qi, and only waited for the moment Qin State broke through the city of HD. Qin State just made a wedding dress for him.

It's just that he missed two people, one is his younger brother Wei Wuji, and the other is Su Qin's younger brother Su Dai.

Now that the five countries are united, the six countries are all involved, Qin has no way to separate himself, and the main force of South Korea is in his trap. Everything will come naturally, and only the last step is left. Everything is to destroy South Korea. At most 20 days, he will Can destroy Korea.

The only variable is the state of Chu. The Wei-Chu alliance is enough to strangle Qin, but not enough to strengthen Wei.

If Qin State loses power in the Kanto, it will be Wei State that will benefit the most. His Wei State will be fully capable of integrating the three Jin states and transforming into a new Jin state with stronger national power. This is a change that Chu State cannot accept.

This may be his last chance, and he must bet that he is one step ahead of Chu.

He underestimated Zhao Dan, and also underestimated Zhao Guo. He lost his move in the battle of HD, which made him lose the first move to destroy Zhao.

From the moment he summoned Lord Xinling to return to the country, it also foreshadowed that the strategy of coercing Zhao Yong as a backhand also failed.

He has lost the chance to destroy Zhao.

"Let Wei Ying and Zuo Zhu lead an army of 20 troops to control the capital and destroy Korea." His lips parted slightly, and he uttered a few cold words.

In the dark, a pair of black pupils slowly opened, revealing a sharp edge: "Here."

He slowly withdrew from the palace, disappeared into the night again, and disappeared into the night.

.........

In the snow-capped ridge, an ancient castle stands in the middle of the mountain, with a gloomy atmosphere and an inexplicable and terrifying atmosphere.

A gust of cold wind blew, and snowflakes fluttered and fell on the castle, showing a little white light in the dark night.

In the dark secret room, the girl was lying on the bed with her eyes closed like a water lily, as if immersed in a dream, but at this moment she was frowning, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked sick.

There was a strong dead air around her, and the bloody texture spread across the surface of her skin, like a coquettish blooming manjusawa, beautiful and dangerous.

The candle flame flickered, emitting a faint red light, against which was a figure, it was a man with white hair and a blood coat.

He raised his right hand and lightly touched the center of her forehead with his index finger. In an instant, a ray of red light flew out from her forehead. It was a Gu worm, its whole body was red, like fresh blood.

Bloody silk thread overflowed from his palm, winding along the bloody Gu worm, and slowly, a bloody imprint appeared on the girl's forehead.

Immediately, the girl's delicate body shriveled quickly, her skin and flesh became loose and dry, and her originally beautiful face instantly withered, like a flower that had been sucked dry of its nutrients.

"Master Hou, none of the spies we sent have returned. It is unknown what happened to the Wei army. In addition, the Chu army seems to be gathering in Anling." In the darkness, a voice sounded.

"Gongsunying has captured Gaodu, and now he is probably on his way to Luoyi again. Ji Wuye is still outside the river, and Korea is now empty."

This blood-clothed man is the blood-clothed Hou Bai Yifei, the lord of Snowy Castle in South Korea.

"As a weak person, you can only live under the wings of the strong. As a weak country, you can only obey the orders of the strong country. This is the fate of South Korea." Bai Yifei's words sounded with a touch of sarcasm.

"And get our men ready."

"Subordinates obey."

.........

Seeing smoke and dust flying in the west of Jinshan, iron cavalry swept away thousands of troops.

The army is overwhelming, horseshoes are like thunder, spears are like forest, swords and halberds are like snow.

The gate of the city opened slowly, and a group of soldiers in armor and holding weapons came out. The guard held the seal in his hand and handed it to the leader respectfully. king."

The Wei army took down the entire city without encountering any serious resistance. Now that Guancheng was conquered, the next target to capture must be Xinzheng, the capital of Han. Guancheng was only a hundred miles away from Xinzheng.

Wei Ying, the commander of the Wei army, stood on the towering watchtower, overlooking the direction of Xinzheng, "Send down the order, and tomorrow we will set up camp and go straight to Xinzheng."

If his estimate is not bad, there are not many available soldiers in the whole of South Korea now, and the Xinzheng defenders are probably only about 3 people. This time, he personally brought 20 soldiers and horses to attack Xinzheng, and [-] reinforcements came from the north. , Such strength is enough to flatten all resistance in South Korea.

Wuying's inner response has also been lurking in the city.

This battle is of great importance and cannot be lost. He is determined to conquer Xinzheng and South Korea in one fell swoop.

"Report to the general! The envoys of the state of Chu ask to see you!" the guard reported.

"Chu country?" Wei Ying was slightly startled, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

The envoy of Chu State was invited to Wei Ying, and he saluted Wei Ying, "I am here to welcome the general under the order of Lord Chunshen. Our army has been waiting in Anling for a long time."

Wei Ying frowned, and said coldly, "When will Chu send troops?"

The envoy said: "It won't be long."

A cold light flashed in Wei Ying's eyes. He stared at the envoy and asked, "Why did Chu send troops?"

The envoy lowered his eyes, "The general should know that Lord Chunshen previously ordered Zuo Yin and Li Yuan to lead one hundred thousand soldiers from Chu to join forces. Lord Chunshen feared that Qin State would take advantage of it to attack our State of Chu, so he personally led 20 troops to station in Anling."

There should be someone in the court colluding with the Chu State, leaking the news to the Chu State, and attracting the Chu army to attack.Chu Jun came too fast, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Although his army had been assembled long ago, it had been stationed in Lianghe, just to guard against the Qin army in Henan.

It was not until the moment when the king's order was issued that the real action to destroy Korea began. No one except the king knew the final decision.

"My king ordered me to lead troops to aid South Korea, to guard the city and defend Xinzheng. Lord Chunshen came to invite me. I can't make a decision. I need to ask the king for instructions."

"General, if you have concerns, you can report to King Wei first, and wait for King Wei to reply."

Wei Ying pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, "Then I will have to wait for a few more days."

The envoys of Chu State retreated, Wei Ying said, "Let Wuying people keep an eye on the Chu people, and immediately send a message to the king, whether it is war or peace, Wei Ying will obey the king's orders."

"Rewrite another letter and give it to South Korea, saying that there are spies from the state of Qin who are in charge of the city, and the city guard invites our army to guard the city. The king ordered our army to help him South Korea."

Wei Ying thought in his heart that it would take about seven or eight days from Anling to Xinzheng at the walking speed of the Chu army. If he wanted to conquer Xinzheng, he would have at most eight days.

Lord Xinling's troops are located in Hejian. If they join forces, they can take down Gongsunying's troops. As for the Han army far outside the river, everything will be settled by then, so there is no problem. The Chu army led by Lord Chunshen of Anling is The only variable, but if the Chu army does not come, Xinzheng will be broken.

If the Wei army wants to win, it needs to take Handu before the Chu army arrives.

.........

The valley is silent, only the bleak evening wind blows past, rolling up the yellow leaves of the trees and falling down.

The white-haired man stood with a sword in his hand, his figure was rather aloof, and he looked at the man indifferently.

"I heard that King Longyang of Wei State is the best swordsman in Wei State. I have always wanted to learn it. This time you have come to our capital of South Korea. Why do you want to leave?"

A bleak voice slowly sounded in the night sky.

"Xue Yihou wanted to compete swords with me. It was so inconvenient in the city just now, but this place is just right."

The man's voice was as calm as water, and he took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing that handsome face like a god.

Lord Longyang's eyes were as clear as water, and he looked at the blood-clothed man in front of him without any waves.

The shadowless person had already left, and he didn't mind competing with this person.

Hou Bai in blood clothes is not wrong, as the name suggests, he has white hair in blood clothes.

His appearance is also considered first-class, but the fly in the ointment is that he has a gloomy aura, which makes him look eerie and strange, making people want to stay away involuntarily.

The blood sword was unsheathed suddenly, the blood light flickered, and a blood-colored sword energy instantly condensed on the tip of the sword.

Bai Yifei stepped forward, turned his body slightly, and thrust out the long sword in his hand.

The sword energy whizzed through the air, as if a shooting star passed through the darkness, and reached the opponent's eyes in an instant.

Before the sword qi arrived, he could already feel waves of killing intent rushing towards his face.

Long Yangjun stepped on his feet, and swept away the jade sword in his hand, the sword energy pierced through the air, and a faint blue light radiated from the tip of the sword, shattering the sharp blood light in an instant.

Bai Yifei retreated slightly, his toes lightly tapped the ground, his figure was like an afterimage, pushing away the edge of the jade sword.

However, the bloody clothes on his body were torn apart by the sword energy, revealing the pale skin.

"If it's just this level, just save your life."

Lord Longyang retracted his sword, his eyes were as clear as water, and he looked at the other party and said calmly.

As for the people he hid in the dark, he didn't take it to heart.

Bai Yifei heard the words, his eyes were slightly cold, "I'm afraid you won't save my life."

A icy cold light flashed away under the moonlight, like a fairy flying from the sky, the sword energy passed through the night sky, leaving a silver line in the air, and the sword energy swept across the void, bringing up a piece of frost and snow.

Lord Longyang was as calm as water, as if he didn't know the danger was coming, the jade sword slanted out.

When the jade sword meets the white sword, the cold air and the jade air intertwine, agitating the surroundings and setting off flying leaves all over the sky.

Xuebai is not holding a white sword in his left hand, and his right hand must be a blood sword. The blood sword took advantage of the situation and slanted across. He used two swords.

The jade sword in Longyang Jun's hand suddenly changed, it was facing the blood sword, and a bright jade light burst out from the jade sword, like a thousand-zhang glow.

The treasure is full of jade spirit, and the sword hides the starlight.

This sword actually shook the red and white swords away, Lord Longyang's figure was like lightning, he approached him, and the jade sword directly pasted Bai Yifei's neck, leaving a bloodstain.

"I can't die..."

He staggered a few steps, a line of blood flowed down his neck, he stretched out his hand to cover the wound on his neck, blood spurted out, his body swayed, and finally he couldn't support himself, he knelt down on the ground, blood stained his feet red land.
