Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 286 Destruction of the two countries

In June of the 22nd year of Qin Wangzheng.

Wang Jian, Li Xin, and Xin Sheng led an army of 30 to attack Yan.

at the end of the same month.

Ying Yuan, Meng Tian, ​​and Wang Ben led an army to attack Wei.

At the same time, two armies were sent to attack two countries.

This is almost unprecedented in the history of previous wars.

Huan Yu personally led an army of 15 to garrison Hangu Pass to prevent the Chu army from brazenly attacking.

The Qin State has been preparing for today's war for too long, and it is using all the power of the whole country, so there is no possibility of losing.

What's more, the command of these two huge battles was the best general in Qin State.

Since then, Qin Jun has attracted much attention, and everyone in the world is shocked.

King Longyang of Wei State, Wei Yong and others personally led the army to resist the invasion of Qin State.

As for the country of Yan, it was Yan Dan who personally led the army to resist.

It can be said that once the strategy of destroying Yan and conquering Wei is successful, then the date of Qin's unification of the world will not be far away.

Chu State, Shouchun.

Xiang Yan volunteered to lead an army to assist Wei.

King Xiong Yuan of Chu discussed with Li Yuan for a long time, and decided to take this opportunity to order Xiang Yan to attack Qin and not to participate in the war between Qin and Wei.

The state of Chu is like reaping the benefits of a fisherman.

Then, they didn't know at all that Ying Yuan was afraid that they would help Wei Guo now.

Therefore, before deciding to go on the expedition, he had already discussed with Qin Wangzheng, Wei Liao and others.

The best result of my own trip may be to wipe out all the vital forces of the Wei state. As for the unification of the Wei state, if the Chu State interferes, it will be impossible to complete.

But now, King Xiong Yuan of Chu thinks he is smart and rejects Xiang Yan's suggestion.

It caused the other party to feel depressed.

Back home, he vented his anger completely,

"Hangu Pass is guarded by Huan Ji, and there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Qin State. At this time, it is impossible to attack Qin. Why does the king not understand such a simple truth?"

He really couldn't figure it out.

If it is decided to aid Wei, then the situation in the world will be stable with the tripartite confrontation.

Yan Guo, in his eyes, is completely hopeless.

Xiong Yuan, king of Chu, is still complacent. He stubbornly believes that Qin's attack on two countries at the same time is an act of courting death.

His ignorance is that he never seizes the opportunity to strengthen himself.

After all, before Qin Wangzheng ascended the throne, the military power of Qin and Chu was not much different.

After Lu Buwei became the Prime Minister of Qin State, he actively developed military equipment and completely surpassed Chu State.

However, when King Xiong Yuan of Chu came to the throne, he was clearly aware of this, but he did not make any changes. He just hoped to see the day when Qin was asking for trouble, and he didn't feel the crisis until Zhao and Han were destroyed. feel.

However, by then it was too late.

When Xiang Yan knew that the attack on Qin would definitely come back in vain, she decided to say that she was sick at home, stayed behind closed doors, and refused to be in command.

But even so, King Xiong Yuan of Chu was unwilling to give up his goal of attacking Daqin.

Ying Yuan has now attacked the Chengkuang area, and Wei Yong's army is retreating steadily.

The progress of this war has surprised many people.

After learning about Chu's movements, Ying Yuan, who was in the military tent, burst out laughing, "We are clearly prepared for Chu to attack Hangu Pass, but this King of Chu still has to gather troops to attack the Hangu Pass. I, Da Qin, are really ridiculous.

It seems that this Xiang Yan is not in the state of Chu now, otherwise, the King of Chu would not take his opinion. "

"Master Hou, now that our army is gaining momentum, do we want to destroy Daliang City of Wei State in one go?" Wang Ben asked.

Hearing this, Ying Yuan laughed and said, "Daliang has assembled all the troops of the Wei State, a total of 30 to [-] troops, and a strong support from the people. You are so impatient, but there is a way to take Daliang City once and for all?"

In the original history, it was Wang Ben who captured Daliang.

Wei Wang pretended to surrender.

Wang Ben nodded with a smile, stretched his finger on the location of Daliang City on the map, and said slowly to everyone: "Everyone, please see that Daliang City is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are no mountains to rely on. It is now the rainy season. , can flood the entire Daliang City.

At that time, the fortifications of Daliang will inevitably collapse, and our army can drive straight in and wipe out the main force of the enemy army in one fell swoop! "

All the soldiers whispered to each other, thinking that this plan is feasible.

Ying Yuan didn't hesitate at all, and said decisively: "Well, I will fully support you in completing this plan. You can dispatch the 30 troops freely, but you don't have to be too happy. I want to see the results. If your method doesn’t work, withdraw your troops in time and think of another way.”

"promise!"

Wang Ben bowed happily.

Ying Yuan made it clear that he was giving him a chance.

At the same time, the defensive battle of Jicheng, which shocked the world, also started.

Yan Dan defended the city in person, and all the soldiers of the Yan army were brave and fearless, and a large number of Mohist masters poured into the battlefield.

Their various actions effectively delayed the Qin army's attack speed.

However, during the siege of the Qin army, Concubine Yan gave birth to a daughter, named Gao Yue.

The spring of the 23th year of Qin Wangzheng.

Jicheng was destroyed, Yandan faked his death, and Gao Yue was rescued from the city by Mohist warriors, but his whereabouts are unknown.

Concubine Yan was captured by Donghuang Taiyi himself, and she was imprisoned in Yinyang's house.

This is the first time that Ying Yuan learned about the specific movements of Donghuang Taiyi and Bei Mingzi after the battle.

However, he has no time to care about what is going on in the Yan Kingdom right now, because the battle of Daliang City is at its most critical moment.

Now, the fortifications of the entire Daliang City have been completely destroyed, and Ying Yuan has also ordered a general attack.

The specific situation should come to light in these two days.

On the other side, Li Yuan led an army of 40 to attack Hangu Pass. After learning the news that Yan State was destroyed, he was so shocked that he had to withdraw his troops in order to protect the vital strength of Chu State.

Huan Yu succeeded in defending the city, but his previous mistakes were selectively ignored by Ying Zheng.

And the reason why he was able to successfully defend the city was actually due to the full help of Fan Yuqi.

This person is still capable of fighting, but his attitude is often erratic, which makes Ying Yuan very displeased. As a result, he has not been present in any of the major battles over the years.

After Wang Jian defeated Jicheng, Yan Wangxi led the royal guard army and fled to the Liaodong area, where he regrouped some armed forces.

Qin general Li Xin led the army to go all out, take advantage of the victory to pursue, and finally defeated the Yan army again in the Yanshui area. Yan Wangxi died in the chaos. So far, the vital forces of the Yan state were completely wiped out by the Qin state.

And the Yan Kingdom has existed in name only.

It is only a matter of time before Qin takes over all the territory of Yan.

When Li Xin attacked the Yanshui area, Ying Yuan successfully captured Daliang City, the capital of Wei, and the king of Wei pretended to surrender. At this point, Wei State was included in the territory of Qin State.

In less than a year, Qin State destroyed two countries one after another, making Chu State and Qi State worried and uneasy.

After the defeat of Li Yuan, the king of Chu, Xiong Yuan, lost his mind to deal with the government affairs of the court, and began to be free and loose, drinking and having fun every day, and lusting after women.

According to his mind, if you can enjoy it for a while now, just enjoy it for a while.

Anyway, he was really afraid of Qin's soldiers.

But at the moment when everyone in Chu State was in danger, Xiang Yan stood up and gave everyone confidence.

Let the people of Chu State temporarily have the confidence to resist Qin State.

They are very clear that the goal of Qin State is to seize the world. Now that the four countries of Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan are all destroyed, it is time for Qin State to concentrate its efforts on cleaning up Chu State.

In order to ensure that the state of Chu will not worry, King Xiong Yuan of Chu handed over the command of all the troops in the country to Xiang Yan, and asked him to grasp the critical moment when Qin State destroyed the two countries, actively train troops, and organize armaments, waiting to fight with Qin State. The moment of great war.

In fact, Xiang Yan didn't know what to do.

He knew very well that with his military command ability, it was impossible to defeat the combined efforts of the champion Hou Yingyuan and Wang Jian at the same time.

This is simply impossible.

Back then, he still deeply remembered the shadow of Ying Yuan going to the meeting alone, and it is estimated that he will never forget it in his life.

Not killing the other party that day has become a regret in his life.

The summer of the 23th year of Qin Wangzheng.

The state of Qin governed all the areas of Wei and Yan, and announced to the world that Wei and Yan were destroyed, and established counties such as Liaoxi, Hengshan, and Taiyuan.
