Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 517
Xiang Yu has nothing to do with Daqin, but it doesn't mean that Xichu is weak.

The reason why Xiang Yu was so exhausted was because Qin's style of play was too rogue, and he didn't have the demeanor of a big country at all.

Not only did he run away as soon as he went, but one of Daqin's current troops is hiding in the dense forests of East Vietnam, one is hiding in the wild lake, and the other is entrenched in the strong city of Wancheng. The largest main force is led by Li Xin and Han Xin to threaten Chu in the north. The hinterland of the country is also guarded by the city, and no one will come out to fight him openly.

However, the appearance of the Qi army at this time gave Xiang Yu an excellent punching bag. If he couldn't defeat Qin, wouldn't he be able to destroy Qi, a lonely and deep army?
Xiang Yu originally had Xiang Liang's death because of the death of the Qi State, which caused Xiang Liang's death. .

The reason why Qi sent troops to Chu this time was that Chu took in the "false king of Qi" and asked Chu Guo to hand over Tian Jia and others.

Xiang Yu, the overlord of the generation, couldn't bear this anger. If Fan Zeng hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to Qi to take revenge. Fortunately, he hadn't moved yet, and Qi jumped out first.

Knowing that even if he ran to Nanyang, it would be of no avail, Xiang Yu immediately ordered the city near Nanyang County to strengthen its own defense, and then led the Chu army to turn around and kill the Qi army in a mighty manner!
As for why Qi State sent troops to attack Chu State at this time point, Zhang Liang's contribution is naturally indispensable.

After Zhang Liang’s famous family, his ancestors served five Han ministers, and Zhang Liang himself was also the former Korean Situ (equivalent to Xiangguo). It can be said that apart from the royal family, he is a family of first-class dignitaries and enjoys a high reputation outside of Korea. .

In contrast, Qi Wang Tianrong is much worse. Although he is also from the Qi royal family, but that happened many generations ago, and the "false Qi king" Tian Jia who was driven away by him is authentic. The sons of the royal family are the sons of King Qi Xiang and the younger brother of King Jian of Qi.

Therefore, Qi Wang Tianrong desperately hopes to stand firm in his orthodox role, and to be able to attract the support of wealthy families from all over the world is naturally one of his more orthodox performances than the previous Qi Wang Tianjia.

Therefore, after Zhang Liang came to Qi State, he immediately received great preferential treatment from Qi Wang Tianrong, who gave houses, fields, and daughters at every turn. The excellent treatment even made Zhang Liang a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, the official position was directly compared with Zhang Liang's previous official position in South Korea, and he was awarded the honorary position of Shangqing of Qi State.

Being treated so favorably by Tian Rong, Zhang Liang also tried his best to advise him, and it didn't take long to gain Tian Rong's trust and take him as his confidant.

And this dispatch of troops is Zhang Liang's strategy to cut Chu and fight Qin for Tian Rong!

It stands to reason that the Qin State is powerful, and it is a good strategy for Qi and Chu to unite to fight against Qin. However, there are irreparable contradictions between Qi and Chu.

Qi Chu, Qi Guo was ungrateful and ignored Xiang Liang's death indirectly.

In Qi, the state of Chu not only took in the former king of Qi, Tian Jia, and his subordinates, but also the king of Qi had previously sent an envoy to warn Xiang Yu, asking Chu to hand over Tian Jia and others to the state of Qi, but the envoy was directly hacked and killed by Xiang Yu. .

For a big country, this is tantamount to a naked slap in the face.

After losing the possibility of uniting with the Chu State, the only remaining options are to surrender to the Qin State, or to strengthen oneself as much as possible before the Qin State attacks itself.

Before Qi Wangjian surrendered to Qin State, it became the shame of Qi people. Tian Rong didn't want to follow in his footsteps, and the only way to grow himself was to acquire the land of Chu State besides provoking Qin State.

Under Zhang Liang's plan, Qi State did not act rashly at the beginning, but silently accumulated strength, and waited until the Chu army was harassed by Qin State in many ways, without rest for several months, and at this time the main force was already close to Nanyang in the west Only then did he decisively dispatch the army.

In Zhang Liang's vision, no matter how strong the Chu army is, they have already been hanged by the Qin army and ran for thousands of miles.

Even if they come back, they should not be the opponents of the Qi army who has recharged their batteries. Taking advantage of Qin's lack of opportunity, the Qi army can completely seize the fertile soil in Huainan, Huaibei and even Kuaiji. Facing Qin's attack, Qi could not be regarded as powerless to fight back.

……

At this time, Ziying naturally came to the front line with the army. He didn't want to miss the good opportunity to confront Xiang Yu, a generation of heroes. If the ministers were not strongly opposed to Ziying, he even wanted to lead his troops to have a try with Xiang Yu.

However, now that he is the third emperor of Qin Dynasty, he can only think about it...

As soon as Ziying expressed his desire to lead the army in person, several old ministers directly remonstrated with death. With that serious expression, Ziying believed that if he insisted on leading the army in person, these old men would really be killed directly. in front of myself.

Helpless, Ziying had to stay in the front-line city, commanding the Qin army to harass the Chu army by remote control.

"The State of Qi has really sent out the army?" At this time, Ziying was holding the information he had just received.

According to Qin's spies in Chu, Qi sent troops to Chu with Tian Heng as its general and Zhang Liang as its deputy a few days ago. Now they have captured more than ten cities in Chu, and the troops are pointing directly at Pengcheng, the capital of Chu.

After Xiang Yu heard the news, he also retreated immediately.

"The order is passed on, the Nanyang Army will leave Hengyang immediately, order Han Xin's [-] troops to go south to Chen County, and within half a month, the two counties must be captured!" After reading the military report, Ziying pondered for a moment and immediately ordered the Qin Army to attack in two directions. , Take Hengshan County and Chen County occupied by Chu State.

Now that Xiang is attacking Qi, according to Ziying's memory of Xiang Yu's attacking Qi in history and his understanding of Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu may not just defeat Qi's army.

The purpose should be to take down Qi State directly and relieve some of his worries, but with Qi's involvement, Peng Yue's army did not dare to go south at will at the risk of being cut off.

The reason why Xiang Yu temporarily gave up the war in the west and won Qi State first was also because of his incomparable self-confidence. He was confident that when he settled the obstacle of Qi State, when he returned to the west, there would be no strong defense like Wancheng. It must be spit out.

In the time and space before Ziying, Liu Bang did take advantage of Xiang Yu's attack to occupy a large area of ​​Chu State's territory, but when Xiang Yu returned to the army, he was then recaptured by Xiang Yu.

However, Xiang Yu didn't want to understand that the Qin army at this time was not comparable to Liu Bang's army, and Han Xin, the nemesis of Xiang Yu's fate, was in the Qin army at this moment (when Liu Bang first attacked the united princes and attacked Chu, Han Xin was in the north. Zhao Wei and other countries).

It's hard to say whether Xiang Yu can take back the two counties from the Qin army when he returns to the army.

Just after Ziying finished making arrangements, a bodyguard came to Ziying.

"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian sent an envoy here."

As soon as he heard that Meng Tian sent someone, Ziying immediately paid attention to it, because Meng Tian's current task was to defend against the Huns!
Although the Xiongnu's detailed information on Ziying has not been found out yet, some general things are still known.

The Xiongnu prince Maodun was sent to the Yuezhi Kingdom as a hostage, but Maodun escaped from the Yueshi and returned to the Xiongnu.

Then he trained himself in the deployment of subduing when he was hunting Ziying, and killed his father Touman Chanyu with a loud arrow, and became the Xiongnu Chanyu himself.

Then, taking advantage of Da Yuezhi's unpreparedness, they raided the Yuezhi Kingdom, and the Yuezhi was forced to move westward. The vast pastures before the Yuezhi Kingdom also belonged to the Xiongnu.

Could it be that the Huns went south to commit crimes!Ziying thought about it.

ps: Some readers commented that Han Xin’s subordinates were a bit confused about Han Xin’s self-proclaimed minister. Let me explain that the word minister at this time is not the exclusive title of ministers to the emperor, and anyone can use it as a more modest self-proclaimed title.
