A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 274 Ye Niang’s relatives and friends call each other, and the iron-blooded Qin army also collapses

Sima Cuo wanted to lead the army back, but how could Le Yi let him go? As soon as Sima Cuo's army moved, Le Yi immediately followed.

Sima Cuo is also an art of war, everyone is good at fighting, and has repeatedly defeated Wei and Han.In order to deal with him, Le Yi thought of many ways.In the end, he chose to overwhelm others with power.One hundred thousand Qin troops wanted to retreat, but they couldn't do it at all, so Sima Cuo repeatedly wanted to fight Le Yi.Want to repel Le Yi, and then the army returns to help.

But Le Yi didn't accept the move at all, he just dragged him so that Sima Cuo couldn't return to Chengdu.

After seeing this situation, Sima Cuo knew that he could not lead the entire army back to help, so he immediately made a decision to leave a part of the Qin army behind, and then lead the remaining Qin army to Chengdu as quickly as possible.

But Le Yi had already expected Sima Cuo's response.Only a part of the Huai army was left to confront the Qin army. The Qin army bypassed these and pursued Sima Cuo.

Sima Cuo kept going all the way, but when his army arrived in Chengdu, he found that Chengdu had already been captured by the Huai army.

Just when Sima Cuo was entangled by Le Yi, the Huai army went upstream and went north via the Tuojiang River, and then five thousand cavalry rushed to Chengdu day and night.The cavalry of the Huai Kingdom were originally mounted infantry. Each of them was equipped with armor and crossbows, and they just relied on horses to travel.

Without giving Sima a chance, the army successfully rushed to Chengdu.There are not many defenders in Chengdu at this time. Sima Cuo originally wanted to block the Huai army in Suining, but he did not expect that the Huai army's 30 troops came in three directions.He was never given a chance.

Five thousand cavalrymen dressed in rattan armor, armed with horizontal knives and crossbows marched extremely fast. Before the Qin army had time to close the city gate, the Huai army captured the city gate, and then took advantage of the situation to capture the entire city.

When Sima Cuo saw Chengdu fell, his expression suddenly changed.He wanted to lead his army to attack Chengdu, but Le Yi's army quickly caught up with him.

At the same time, after Chen Song, the general of the Huai State, occupied Chengdu, Zhang Bang reassured the people, forbidding soldiers to harass the people, maintaining order in the city, and cracking down on local ruffians and bullies.After occupying the treasury, he distributed food and salt to the people in the city, and at the same time announced the abolition of the Qin Law, and made three chapters with the people to win the hearts of the people.

The people of Qin State have always been under the rule of Qin State's harsh laws and punishments. They have seen this kind of situation there, and they are easily won over by Huai State.Immediately afterwards, Chen Song sent someone to treat the relatives of the Qin soldiers led by Sima Cuo favorably.Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all given, and even tax reductions and exemptions are given to these soldiers' families.

The people of Qin State felt that Huai State was so good at governance, and then thought about the harshness of Qin Law and the cruelty of Qin State, they made a decision with almost no hesitation.Unanimously support Huai country, unwilling to make relatives and Huai country enemies.

The lieutenants of Sima Cuo's army were basically the children of Shuzhong, or moved in with their families from Guanzhong. Most of their relatives were in Chengdu. The head of the city shouted to shake the morale of Sima Cuo's army.

All of a sudden, the voices of relatives in Sichuan calling for brothers and sisters and looking for their children could be heard around Sima Cuo's garrison.When the lieutenants of the army heard their relatives and friends calling around them, their morale changed greatly, and they all responded and fled the Qin camp.

Sima Cuo kept shouting angrily, and even wanted to kill him with military law. However, before he could give the order, the surrounding Qin troops changed their expressions, and many soldiers had even gathered around. It seemed that they would swarm Sima Cuo in the next second. Kill by mistake.

Seeing this situation, Sima Cuo's personal guards did not dare to be negligent, and quickly shouted: "Everyone, if you are called by relatives and friends today, you can go by yourself. We will never stop you!" They turned around and left one after another, but within a quarter of an hour, the original tens of thousands of Qin troops were completely disintegrated, leaving only Sima Cuo and hundreds of guards around him.Chen Song's soldiers were bloodless, so he said that Sima made a mistake and ordered tens of thousands of troops to disperse.

Seeing this situation, Sima Cuo's whole body felt as if struck by lightning, and his upright body suddenly collapsed.Le Yi ordered people to surround these Sima Cuo and hundreds of Qin army regiments. Although these people were unwilling to leave, they had already lost their fighting spirit. It was just because of their loyalty to Sima Cuo that they barely maintained it.

Le Yi did not let the army attack, but came to the military formation in person and shouted to Sima Cuo: "Old General Sima, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. One hundred thousand Qin troops have surrendered this time, and the old general is worthy of the King of Qin. Why not surrender? The old general has hundreds of personal guards accompanying him until now. It can be seen that he loves his soldiers as much as his own children. How can he bear to let these personal guards die together?"

Sima Cuo raised his head and looked at the hundreds of personal guards around him. Most of these people had been following him for more than ten years and had even saved his life several times. Looking at their trusting eyes, Sima Cuo finally closed his eyes and sighed.

"Kang Lang." Sima Cuo discarded the long sword in his hand, and said: "Surrender!"

With one order, these hundreds of Qin troops discarded their weapons one after another, and finally all surrendered.

Sima Cuo's surrender also made it easier for the Huai Kingdom to occupy the Bashu land.

After solving Sima Cuo's Qin army, Le Yi immediately sent a large army to bring the Qin army's relatives to persuade the remaining Qin army to surrender. After learning that Chengdu was lost, Sima Cuo was captured, and the Qin army surrendered, this A Qin army that stayed behind did not resist, and soon put down its weapons and surrendered.

The Huai State mobilized 30 troops, spent several months transporting food and grass, and attacked Bashu. As a result, it took less than a month to successfully occupy Chengdu and surrender [-] troops.

After forcing Sima Cuo to surrender, Le Yi immediately sent people to send orders to various places in central Shu to send a large army to take over the city.At the same time, he took out Sima Cuo's military order, and then led the five thousand Qin troops and five thousand Huai country elites who surrendered to Jianmen Pass immediately.

Because Hanzhong was occupied by Huai State, the only way for Qin State to enter Bashu was the Jinniu Road. As long as Jianmen Pass was captured and the Jinniu Road was blocked, the connection between Qin State and Shuzhong could be cut off.

Chengdu was captured and [-] Qin troops surrendered. There was no resistance in the land of Bashu and other cities in Bashu were almost determined by word of mouth.In just ten days, it was completely occupied by the Huai Kingdom.Le Yi sent troops to station in various places to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

At the same time, Le Yi announced the abolition of the laws of the Qin State, abolished all taxes this year, and exempted the corvees in Bashu and the taxes owed over the years. He then announced the implementation of Huai Law and sent a large number of Huai scholars to read the laws of the Huai State.

When these Qin people heard the laws of the Huai country, they immediately forgot about the Qin country. Compared with the extremely strict Qin laws, the Huai laws were too loose.After seeing the sun, how could these people continue to endure the darkness?Even if the Qin State was lucky enough to break into Bashu again, these people would support the Huai army to resist desperately.It can be said that Qin, the land of Bashu, has no chance to take it back.
