Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 132

He hurriedly came to the Qin Palace, and saw that besides himself, Yang Duanhe, Wang Ben, Sima Chang and other well-known military generals in Qin State were already waiting in the palace.

The generals of the Qin army who bowed their heads silently, and the bamboo slips scattered all over the palace, all showed the anger of King Qin. Seeing that these Ziying had already made up their minds, their guesses were probably in line with each other.

"Your servant, Ying kowtows to the king!" As soon as Ziying arrived, he was the first to salute the king of Qin.

"Baby is free." Zhao Zheng, who had a straight face when he came in, sighed and continued: "I have wronged you for the past two months, how can you blame the orphan?"

"Baby dare not, the king cares about Ziying, thunder and rain, could it be Wang En, Ziying dares to complain."

Zhao Zheng's questioning made Ziying suddenly think of the sentence "Thunder, rain and dew, is it God's grace" left by Yang Lian, the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty, in the imperial prison.

After listening to Ziying's reply, Qin Wang Zhao Zheng's expression relaxed a lot. When he thought about his previous attitude towards Ziying, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty again. When he was dazed by a series of victories, only Ziying Dare to speak up.

"As you said before, if 20 people attack Chu, they will definitely be defeated. How did you know that?" Zhao Zheng asked immediately.

When Ziying heard this, he confirmed his thoughts. If the Qin army on the front line had not been defeated, King Qin would not have asked this question.

But Ziying couldn't answer the question of why Qin Jun was defeated for a while, so I can't just say that I knew it in my previous life.

The reasons for the failure of the Qin army are unclear in historical records, but apart from the main role of the general Xiang Yan of the Chu army, many scholars in later generations pointed the finger at a very important person, Xiong Qi, the prime minister of the state of Qin.

Although I don't know exactly how, but Xiong Qi can be said to be the most trusted person of the King of Qin. Without Lord Changping, the current King of Qin would have died in the rebellion of Lai Ai long ago, and Ziying would not dare to involve him casually.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although the south of the Ru River is already the land of Qin, the state of Chu also acquired the land of Lu and Yue in the east. As the saying goes, the land lost in the east and the land harvested in the mulberry and elm, the national strength has not been greatly diminished, and still It can be said to be a strong enemy of our country.

Moreover, the state of Chu has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and there are even famous generals such as Xiang Yan guarding it.If the main force of such a vast country cannot be wiped out in one battle, our soldiers will be exhausted, and it will be possible to seize one city after another.

It will last for a long time, once there is a change, it will be dangerous! "

Ziying had no choice but to explain his own analysis.It is estimated that veteran Wang Jian proposed to attack Chu with 60 troops, and he also wanted to destroy Chu's elite in a single battle.

"According to your words, if it doesn't help our army, it's just like falling into a quagmire. How can we be defeated?" After Ziying finished speaking, King Zhao Zheng of Qin heard the loopholes in Ziying's words and continued to ask questions.

At this time, all the generals in the palace also focused their attention on Ziying. They were also very curious. Although no one dared to refute the prince's decision, Wang Jian was not the only one who could see that it would be difficult for 20 to conquer Chu.

However, Ziying was the only one who dared to conclude that the 20-man attack on Chu would be defeated. They were also curious as to why Ziying was so well known.

For this sake, Ziying already insisted on telling Ziwu Yinmao, and when he was forced to do so, he could only say everything.

"I don't know if all the generals think that the territory occupied by our army is safe?" Ziying asked.

"The time is still short, so it's hard to settle down!" Veteran Yang Duanhe answered.

Naturally, it is difficult to govern the newly occupied land very effectively, otherwise there would be no anti-Xin Zheng.

"That's it. The Chu people are fierce, and the Chu land is naturally uneven. The former king sent Lord Changping to comfort Ying and Chen, and Ziying was worried."

While talking, Ziying also kept paying attention to the faces of the people in the hall. When he mentioned Lord Changping, he clearly saw that the faces of the generals in the hall changed a little. Can't get rid of it.

Immediately reassured and boldly said: "Although Mr. Anping is the Prime Minister of Qin, his hometown Chu is even more respected by the prince of Chu, and the people of Chu look up to him.

The minister is afraid that it will become an elbow and armpit, so I say this! "

Ziying's words immediately shocked everyone in the hall to the point of being speechless, Ziying's analysis turned out to be the same as the truth.

After Li Xin led his troops to the expedition, the king of Chu sent Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, with 20 soldiers to meet the enemy. The two sides fought in Rushui Zhiyang.

However, at this moment, misfortunes happened.Xiong Qi, the state minister of the state of Qin who was guarding Yingchen, rebelled against Qin.

For a while, the land of Chu captured by the Qin State responded in groups.Not long after, they captured the surrounding cities such as Yanling and Pingyu.

At this time, Li Xinjun was completely surrounded by the Chu army, not only cut off his retreat, but also cut off his supplies.

If he continued to fight with Xiang Yan, his subordinates would lose their combat power due to lack of food without fighting.

In desperation, he had to return to his teacher in a hurry to quell the rebellion. He wanted to quell Lord Changping's rebellion before attacking Chu.

However, such a good opportunity, Xiang Yan, as a famous general of the Chu State, would naturally not let it go in vain. When the Qin army returned, he followed and attacked all the way.

After losing a lot of troops, I finally arrived at Yingchen. However, as the former capital of Chu State, Yingchen had a high wall and was difficult to break through for a while. Xiang Yan was still chasing after him, so I didn’t have time to slowly attack the city. .

Helpless, Li Xin, who was short of food and food, had no choice but to continue to lead his troops to flee westward.

Naturally, Xiang Yan was in hot pursuit, and the two sides ran and fought. This running lasted for three days and nights.

After running all the way to Chengfu Town, Li Xin just stopped. He could no longer run west. If he ran any further, he would be Hangu Pass. Guguan, with the return of large areas of land outside the pass to Qin, there are not many troops guarding it now.

If he and others were followed and attacked by Xiang Yan when they entered the pass, or even lost Hangu Pass, then the pass would be in danger.

With no choice, Li Xin could only lead the army to start a decisive battle with the Chu army led by Xiang Yan outside the pass.

Although the remaining Qin army was extremely exhausted and hungry, everyone's home was in the pass, and everyone knew the consequences of the fall of Hangu Pass.

In this battle, the Qin army also exploded with extremely powerful combat power. After paying a very heavy price, they finally repelled the Chu army temporarily, buying time for their successful retreat into Hangu Pass.

After entering Hangu Pass, Li Xin's army had just settled down. According to statistics, there were only more than 20 Qin troops left in the mighty [-] Qin army a few months ago.

The Chu army also took advantage of the situation to regain most of the territory previously captured by the Qin army.

For Qin, this expedition can be said to have lost his wife and lost his army. The loss was heavy!
