Chapter 256

[Li Mu is the confidant of the Qin army. With him, it is difficult for the Qin army to destroy Zhao.

However, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can't help but disintegrate from the inside. 】

[In order to get rid of Li Mu, a fierce tiger that stands in the way, Wang Jian resorted to a trick of alienation.

He sent people to bribe Zhao Wangqian's favored minister Guo Kai with a lot of money (sorry, I think of King Jiji when I mention Guo Kai, is it too poisonous), and spread rumors that Li Mu and Sima Shangmou rebelled against the king.

Zhao Wangqian listened to Guo Kai's slander, ordered Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to replace Li Mu and Sima Shang as generals, and forced Li Mu to death. 】

【Once Li Mu dies, Wang Jian has no opponent!

In March of the 19th year of Qin Wangzheng, Wang Jian took advantage of Li Mu being killed by Zhao Wangqian, launched a fierce attack, defeated Zhao Jun in one fell swoop, beheaded Zhao Cong, and occupied Dongyuan.

In October of the same year, Wang Jian conquered Handan and captured Zhao Wangqian. Zhao Guogong's son Jia led the remnants of his clan to flee north and established himself in Dai. He was known as Dai Wang in history. 】

"Zhao Wangqian destroyed the Great Wall by himself, and deserved to destroy the country!"

"Actually, if you look at history, don't we rarely destroy the Great Wall?"

"Yeah, for example, Wanyan Gou, he not only destroyed the Great Wall, but also broke the foundation by the way."

[After the Qin State conquered Handan and Zhao Gongzi Jia fled to the north, Wang Jian and Xin Sheng led the Qin army to the north and approached Yishui.

The army of the Qin army pressed down on the border, and the whole country of Yan was panicked.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan made a plan to feign surrender, but secretly sent Jing Ke to bring the map of Yan Kingdom and the head of Qin rebel general Fan Yuqi into the Qin Palace, trying to find an opportunity to assassinate King Qin Yingzheng.

However, Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin ended in failure, and the King of Qin ordered Wang Jian and Xin Sheng to lead an army to attack Yan. 】

[Yishui is the border between Yan and Zhao, and it is a place heavily defended by the Yan State. At this time, the Zhao Dynasty formed a coalition army, which became an obstacle for the Qin army to enter the Yan State northward.

In order to defeat the coalition forces of Yan and Zhao, Wang Jian led the main force to cross the Yishui River from the upper reaches and surrounded the weaker Yan army in the upper reaches. 】

[In the 21st year of Qin Wangzheng (226 BC), Wang Jian conquered Jicheng, the capital of Yan, and King Xi of Yan and Prince Dan fled to Liaodong.

Qin general Li Xin took advantage of the victory and pursued, until Yanshui defeated Prince Dan again, and wiped out the last living force of Yan State.

King Xi of Yan saw that he was powerless, so he killed Prince Dan and used it to seek peace from Qin State. Although Qin Wang Yingzheng did not agree to Yan State's peace request, he did not kill them all. Instead, he sent troops south to deal with the more difficult Wei State and Chu State. 】

[Wei State is located in the world, and it was considered a hegemony in the early Warring States period.

However, due to geographical location, like South Korea, under the continuous attack of surrounding countries such as Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu, he eventually became a low-level vassal state like South Korea. When Zhao State fell, only the capital Daliang and some nearby cities remained.

In the 22nd year of Qin Wangzheng (225 BC), Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, led an army to besiege Daliang.As the former overlord of the State of Wei, its capital, Liangxiu, was so high and deep that it was difficult for the Qin army to conquer it for a while.

When the strong attack was ineffective, Wang Ben captured all the cities near Daliang and implemented the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, making Daliang an isolated city without external support.

Later, Wang Ben flooded the city with water from the Yellow River and the Honggou. After three months of soaking in the water, the walls of Daliang finally collapsed, and King Wei had to go out of the city in a small boat to surrender to the Qin army, and the state of Wei perished.

Don't tell me, if the King of Wei wore a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, the picture would be quite artistic. 】

"."

"Su Shangshen, in terms of skin, you are still the most skinny."

"I can imagine that scene, that King Wei might be a little bit wronged."

[After the Kingdom of Wei was destroyed, King Yingzheng of Qin sent Li Xin and Meng Wu, the father of Meng Tian, ​​to lead an army of 20 troops to attack Chu in two ways.And Qin destroyed Chu, paying a huge price! 】

[At the beginning of the war, Ying Zheng asked his two generals, Li Xin and Wang Jian, their views on the troops they needed to conquer Chu.

Li Xin was full of confidence, saying that only 20 troops would be needed to take Chudu directly; while Wang Jian insisted that he needed 60 troops to ensure victory.

Ying Zheng thought that Wang Jian was old, old and timid, too conservative and lost the spirit of a soldier to forge ahead.

In the end, Ying Zheng chose Li Xin, while Wang Jian chose to retire and return home. 】

[Ying Zheng seems to praise Li Xin's bravery, but actually ignores Wang Jian's well-thought-out strategy.

In the 23rd year of Qin Wangzheng (224 BC), the First Emperor appointed Li Xin as his general and Meng Tian as his deputy. He sent 20 troops to Chu.

Li Xin's ancestral home was in the State of Zhao, and his ancestry was a doctor. The first person to become a general was Li Tong, who served as a general under the tent of King Wuling of Zhao.

Li Dui, the son of Li Tong, Zhao Guo Xiangguo, was so brave that he starved and killed King Wuling of Zhao in the Shaqiu Palace.

After Li Dui's death, the Li family was squeezed out and suppressed in Zhao State, some of them moved to Qin State, and began a arduous process of starting a business.

The Li family is brave and good at fighting. By the fifth generation, the Li family has served as a general in the Qin army.

The seventh generation of Li Chong, the official went to the prefect of Longxi, and became the prefect in the birthplace of the Qin people. The Li family is not simple.The eighth generation of Li Yao, the official to the prefect of Nanjun, was in charge of the area around Yingdu, the old capital of Chu State, and the Li family was further developed.

Li Xin is the ninth generation following Li Tong, a native of Qin. 】

[After Li Xin led the main force of the Qin army to send troops, he conquered Pingyu and Yingchen all the way, and Meng Wu led a part of the Qin army to attack the city of sleep, and finally the two armies joined forces at Chengfu.

Although the Qin army has counted cities in succession, it has never had a direct battle with the main force of the Chu army led by Xiang Yan.

However, Xiang Yan took advantage of Li Xin's lone army to go deep, and followed him. When the Qin army lost its edge, he fought back desperately. He chased for three days and defeated the Qin army.

The Qin army lost seven captains, and the 5000 men and horses under the jurisdiction of these seven captains were also wiped out.The other teams also suffered heavy losses to varying degrees, and the Qin army lost nearly half of its 20 troops.

With Li Xin's character, he certainly wouldn't give up easily.

However, with the current morale and military strength, it is really impossible to turn things around, so Li Xin had no choice but to send someone to Xianyang to plead guilty to Shihuang. 】

[After being defeated in the first battle, Qin Wang Yingzheng decided to reactivate the veteran Wang Jian, and once again mobilized 60 Qin troops.

Wang Jian led the army, which was almost the entire strength of Qin State, and launched an attack on Chu State again.

Although the state of Chu has declined, the foundation of a great power still exists. Wang Jian gave up Li Xin's rash action of eager for quick success and quick gains. After acquiring Yingchen, Shangcai, Pingyu and other places, he built fortresses and could not get out.

At this time, Qin State has already destroyed four of the six countries. The whole north except Qi State is occupied by Qin State. It has time and capital to spend with Chu State. On the other hand, Chu State, although defeated Li Xin, still lags behind Qin State in terms of overall strength, and the situation is not optimistic.

Xiang Yan led the main force of the Chu army to garrison along the Huaihe River, but Wang Jian did not come to attack. The Chu army, which was already on the defensive, had to wait and see. 】

[Under the order of King Chu of Chu, Xiang Yan had no choice but to attack the Qin army, but the Qin army neither responded to the battle nor could they break through the camp, so Xiang Yan had to lead the army eastward.

At this time, the scheming Wang Jian, taking advantage of Xiang Yan's retreat, rushed out and pursued the Chu army to Yinghe, where the two armies fought.

The battle between Qin and Chu was really like a landslide, a landslide and a tsunami!
After just a whole night of effort, corpses littered the field, blood flowed like rivers, it was extremely miserable. 】
