A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 253 Five Kingdoms Attack Qin
Qin State Xianyang, Xianyang Palace.

The atmosphere above the main hall was very oppressive. Qin State originally wanted to pull Huai State to destroy Western Chu State.With the cooperation of Zhang Yi, the main force of the Western Chu State was drawn out. As long as the main force of the Western Chu State is eliminated, Hanzhong and Badi will be in the pocket of the Qin State.

Even in order to prevent the Huai country from being hindered, they even specially invited the Qi country to attack Huai together, but the plan will never keep up with the changes.When you are calculating others, others are calculating you too!
The Western Chu State had already fallen into the calculation, but at this moment, the Three Jins attacked.The army of Qin State is fighting against the Western Chu State, and the remaining army can barely cope with Han Wei.Shangjun retreated steadily under Zhao's attack.

And at this time, Yiqu Kingdom, which had been at odds with Qin State, was also ready to move.Yiqu country is proficient in riding and archery, and its people are tough. There are many conflicts with Qin country. This time, seeing Qin country being besieged by the three Jins, it is also ready to attack Qin country.

In order to appease the Yiqu country, the King of Qin specially sent thousands of beautiful horses and hundreds of beauties, hoping to maintain peace with the Yiqu country.

When King Yiqu saw the generous gift from King Qin, he immediately knew that Qin State was at a critical juncture.Qin and Yiqu have fought for hundreds of years. How could they give up the chance to defeat Qin this time?
Immediately, King Yiqu accepted the gift and told King Qin that Yiqu country was willing to maintain peace with Qin, so that King Qin could rest assured to fight with the Three Jins, but secretly he was a fierce soldier, ready to go south to attack Qin at any time.

"Your Majesty, deceiving Qin State this time will not be good for Yiqu's reputation!"

King Yiqu said: "Yiqu and Qin are neighbors, and there have been many conquests in the past. At this time, Qin is strong and Yiqu is weak. If we don't take the opportunity to attack Qin, after Qin defeats the three Jins, our country of Yiqu will be destroyed by Qin. "

"How can the widow ignore his family and country because of his reputation? If the princes have blame, the widow will bear it alone."

King Qin saw that Yiqu Kingdom accepted the gift, and immediately prepared to continue mobilizing an army to resist the attack of the Three Jins.

"Your Majesty, the King of Yiqu is treacherous. We must guard against it. At this time, we must deploy a large army to resist the attack of the Three Jins. If the Yiqu Kingdom goes south, Qin will be in danger."

Hearing the suggestions of the ministers, King Qin also felt that it was unreliable to put the survival of Qin State above Yiqu State's keeping the covenant. The army does not move.

The Qin army dispatched troops from other cities to support Hexi and Shangjun. After the Qin army left, the Yiqu country immediately tore up the covenant, and tens of thousands of troops went south to attack Qin directly.

After King Si of Qin got the news, he overturned all the table cases angrily, and scolded loudly in the palace: "Yiqu villain, if you don't keep your word, I will avenge you and destroy your country!"

The army of the Yiqu State drove straight in, smashing more than ten cities in a row, and the soldiers went straight to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State.For a while, Qin was in a state of emergency everywhere, and wars were everywhere, almost to the point of subjugation.

The King of Qin summoned his ministers to discuss, and Zhang Yi said: "The Western Chu army in Lantian wants to withdraw, so it is better to let them go and dispatch the army from Lantian to attack Yiqu northward."

"Among the Three Jins, Zhao State is the strongest, and Han and Wei are weak, so there is nothing to worry about. Only Zhao State is strong and prosperous. Your Majesty can send protons to Zhao State to negotiate peace with Zhao State."

King Qin's face was a bit ugly. Since Shang Yang's political reform, Qin State has become stronger rapidly. Not only has it regained the land of Hexi, but it has also ceded the territory of the Three Jins for peace. Now Qin State has reached the point where it needs to send a hostage to Zhao State for peace.
This made Qin Wang difficult to accept for a while, but Qin Wangsi is also a person with a strong character, knowing that the country is in a critical juncture, he quickly made a decision.

"The widow understands, order Chiliji to let the Chu army go back, and then send a large army to attack Yiqu northward!"

"Order Zhang Yi as envoy to escort Young Master Ji to Zhao to discuss peace!"

"Great Qin Wannian!" The ministers shouted one after another.

With the issuance of the edict, Qin's war machine immediately began to operate.

Lantian Camp.

"Withdraw the army? Why do you want to withdraw the army! The Western Chu Kingdom is about to be defeated, as long as you give me another [-] days, I will completely wipe out the Western Chu Kingdom's army!" Seeing the edict in his hand, Chu Liji's expression turned ugly.

"General, it's not that the king doesn't want to destroy Chu, but that Xianyang is at stake. The army of the Yiqu country is going south, and the Three Jins are also raging on the land of Qin. If it continues, Qin will be in danger!" The minister who sent the order said with an ugly face.

Chi Liji looked at the military newspaper in his hand with an ugly face. The Yiqu army had already arrived near Xianyang. If there were no more reinforcements, the Qin State's front would collapse.

Seeing this situation, even if he didn't want to, Xi Liji had no choice but to give up the fat in his mouth, and had to watch the West Chu Kingdom evacuate.Chi Liji led the army to the north, while Zhang Yi took his son Ji to the state of Zhao to ask to see King Zhao.

Handan, Zhao State Hall.

"What's the purpose of the foreign minister coming here?" King Zhao asked casually.He knew very well in his heart that Qin State wanted to make peace, but he did not intend to stop the war, but wanted to take the opportunity to weaken Qin State.

"Your Majesty, my king sent his son Ji here to discuss peace with Zhao Guo." Zhang Yi said respectfully.

"Now Dazhao is in a state of invincibility, Qin Jun can't stop my Dazhao's attack at all, why do you want to negotiate a peace?" King Zhao laughed.

Zhang Yi was not angry, and continued: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of Zhao State are indeed strong, and our Qin State has been defeated repeatedly, but if Qin is defeated and forced to cede land, then who will benefit the most?"

King Zhao said without thinking, "Guo Zhao!"

Zhang Yi shook her head and said, "King Zhao is wrong!"

"Huh?" Zhao Wang frowned slightly.

"The victory of Zhao State can only take the land of Shangjun at most, but what about Han Wei? Wei State can go to the land of Hexi, and there are countless fertile land in Hexi. If Wei State can get it, with money, food and population, Wei State's strength will soon be reduced. can recover."

"At that time, among the Three Jins, Wei State will be strong again, and with South Korea's help, will Zhao State still be able to sit firmly as the leader of the Three Jins?"

"Also ask King Zhao to think about it!"

When King Zhao heard Zhang Yi's words, his complexion suddenly turned ugly. The relationship between the three Jins is very complicated. Generally speaking, the three Jins will unite and keep going to the outside world. Among them, the state of Wei has dominated the alliance of the Three Jins for a long time.

It was not easy for Qin State to defeat Wei State, and Zhao State did not want Wei State to become stronger again.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Wang immediately said: "Qin State wants peace, and I can agree, but sending protons is not enough!"

When Zhang Yi heard that King Zhao was willing to negotiate peace, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said, "What does your lord want?"

"Shangjun, Qin State ceded Shangjun to Zhao State, and the widows will retreat!" Zhao Wang said.

After some debate, Qin State ceded half of Shangjun to Zhao State, and Zhao State withdrew its army and stopped attacking Qin State.

After completing the covenant with Zhao, Zhang Yi also heaved a sigh of relief and returned to Qin overnight.
