A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 265 Qin Huai Fights Again

Bai Qi broke the two countries of Han and Wei in the first battle, not only plundered a large area of ​​land, but also forced the two countries to submit to Qin.In addition to Qin's strong military strength, another reason why South Korea and Wei could surrender was the death of Sun Bin from Huai State to the jade pillar of Qingtian.

Sun Bin has been in poor health since he returned from his last expedition to the Western Chu Kingdom.After all, he was almost 60 years old at the time.With the passing of Sun Bin, Huai's deterrence is not as strong as before.

Although the Huai Kingdom later gained Le Yi's support, the trust between Le Yi and King Huai was not that strong.This time, the reason why Han and Wei surrendered to Qin was because they were worried about being annexed by Qin.

Usually the nations go to war, although there are winners and losers, but there are not many battles like annihilation battles. In most cases, although they are defeated, at most half of the soldiers are killed and injured, and about 2 to 3% of them actually die, many of them They were all wounded and fled.

But the battle of annihilation is different, which means almost completely annihilating the opponent.

Bai Qi fought a textbook-like battle of annihilation, which made Han and Wei tremble with fright, so they had to agree to surrender to Qin.South Korea betrayed Huai, which made Huai country very angry. Since Huai country once again defeated the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, few countries have dared to openly confront Huai country.Now that South Korea has betrayed Huai, the Huai country immediately wanted to send troops to punish South Korea.

After defeating Han Wei, Bai Qi went south through Zhongtiao Mountain, intending to capture Shangyang City and capture Hangu Pass.After Huaiguo noticed Bai Ji's direction, he immediately sent reinforcements to support him.

Wang Xu worshiped Le Yi as a general and led 20 Huai troops to the north.

After hearing that Le Yi led the army to go north, Bai Qi also attached great importance to it.It is well known to all countries that the Huai State is strong and prosperous, and the elite of the country even dominates the world, and its commander Le Yi is also a famous general in the world. Facing such a powerful opponent, Bai Qi is not at all afraid, and even eager to try.Although Huaiguo Leyi is strong, Bai Qi is not weaker than others in his life.

Qin Wangji immediately gave Baiqi the greatest support after Baiqi annihilated the Korean and Wei allied forces in the first battle, and the logistics were continuously transported.Qin kings of all dynasties wanted to seize Hangu Pass in order to go east, and he also didn't want to give up.

Once Qin's farming and warfare system decided to operate at full capacity, the power it erupted was extremely powerful.Because of this, although the Qin State has only 500 million people, it also exploded with a power not weaker than that of the Huai State.

Wei State, Daliang.

Since Wei Huiwang lost the land of Hexi, Wei State has been defeated by Qin State many times. After surrendering to Qin State this time, he and South Korea will give up all the cities leading to Shangyang and Hangu Pass.

The idea of ​​South Korea and Wei State is to divert the disaster to the east, and let Qin State and Huai State fight against each other, so that they can get some respite.Huai Guosheng surrendered to Huai, and Qin Guosheng surrendered to Qin.

This is also the normal state of small and medium-sized countries living in the cracks between powerful countries.Wei Guo and South Korea have completely lost the opportunity to compete for world hegemony, and talents from the two countries have also gone to Qin to serve as officials.

When Bai Qi was about to fight Huai State, Qin State sent a large number of spies and lobbyists to Huai State to lobby Huai King, and spread rumors in Huai State, saying that Le Yi had a heart of disobedience, and Le Yi fled from Yan State. Originally, he had the idea of ​​replacing him, but now that Le Yi came to Huai country, he could not be trusted either.

Qin State not only let a large number of spies spread rumors, but also sent lobbyists to lobby Huai State.These people seized Le Yi without making any achievements, and they ascended to high positions as soon as they came to Huai country. They were unfair to other people in Huai country and aroused dissatisfaction among other people in Huai country. They used this to deal with Le Yi.

It would be even better if we want to cause political turmoil in the Huai country, confuse the people to be suspicious and dissatisfied, prevent Huai country from fully supporting Le Yi, and even cause Huai Wang Xu to distrust Le Yi.

A large number of spies of the Qin State spread rumors in Jinling City, and there were also lobbyists of the Qin State who contributed to the flames. For a while, all kinds of rumors were raging in Jinling City. Enter Huai Palace and explain to King Huai.

Duke Huai comforted him every time, but two days later, when Le Jian saw that the rumors had not subsided, but intensified, when he wanted to see Duke Huai again, he was directly rejected.The change in Duke Huai's attitude made Lejian worried.

After seeing this situation, Qin's spies and lobbyists were greatly encouraged, and immediately speeded up their progress to make Duke Huai change his generals.A large number of spies from the state of Qin became more and more active, and the state of Qin used bribery and bribes to win over officials and ask them to help.

Even in the Huai Palace, there was news of a change of general.Just when Qin spies, lobbyists, and some Huai state officials wanted to go further, Jinling City was suddenly put under martial law, and then groups of soldiers, led by Habayashi Wei, began to arrest Qin spies, customers and those officials who accept bribes.

Wang Xu noticed the abnormality as soon as the rumor appeared.He is very aware of the power of three people becoming a tiger, and originally he wanted to directly send out the dark guards to solve it.Being stopped by Gong Ziyan, Gong Ziyan suggested to wait a little longer, so that more spies in Jinling can emerge, and at the same time, the officials of Huai State can be cleared out.

Although Huai country has always had inspectors and supervisors, the greed and depravity of human nature will continue to erode these.Greed is the nature of human beings, and even the Huai country is not immune. It has been more than two hundred years since the Huai country moved its capital to Jinling, and under this prosperity, there is also a lot of corruption.If he felt that he could sit back and relax with the inspector censor and supervisory department, Zhu Hongwu would not be skinny.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Xu agreed with Gongzi Yan's plan, and personally cooperated with him, writing to Le Yi personally to inform him of the plan, so that he would not have to worry, and then searched for those spies through the dark guards, and sent Huai state officials Among them, all kinds of corrupt and unstable personnel were found out and dealt with together.

Huai State's sudden action caught everyone by surprise. A large number of spies from Qin State were caught by the secret guards, and those lobbyists were also arrested by Huai State. At the same time, Huai State also arrested officials A large number of officials who are corrupt, use power for personal gain, sell intelligence, etc.

At the same time, after arresting these spies, officials, and lobbyists, Huaiguo also sent officials to refute the rumors to the people, and at the same time explained to Le Jian, and then sent envoys to bring Le Jian to see Le Yi to reassure him .

A large number of officials with bad deeds were arrested, and the people of Huai State were very happy, and the people hated these people at any time.After cleaning up these people, the people immediately believed in the Huai country, and the various rumors of the Qin country could be said to be self-defeating.

Qin State sent a large number of spies to spread rumors, which not only did not destabilize the political situation of Huai State, but also helped Huai State clean up its officials.
