Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 846 The six kings are finished, and the world is one
  Qin State, the official office of Chenying County.

Gu Xun was leaning against the window, reading a letter in his hand.

After a while, he burned the letter casually. He didn't know what he read. He shook his head and said with emotion, "It seems that the chaos in Chendi will be completely subsided."

Zhang Han stood by with his hands behind his back and did not respond.

He was the first person to read the letter, so he naturally knew why his boss said this.

But Fusu, who was sitting on the couch at the end of the room, asked, "Teacher, is there any result from General Li Xin?"

"That's right." Gu Xun nodded, "Li Xin led his army to pretend to retreat westward, seducing the Chu army to follow and attack. He turned back at the critical moment and combined with Meng Tian's 30,000 golden fire cavalry to repel the Chu army."

Fusu couldn't help but show joy on his face, and asked, "Did General Li Xin completely defeat the Chu army?"

According to Fusu's thinking, since the Chu State was a trap this time, Li Xin must be able to determine the outcome in one battle and completely seal the victory. In this way, the end of the Qin-Chu war is not far away.

He didn't like war, but he understood the necessity of war as his teacher said, so in a compromise, he could only hope to end the war as soon as possible.

Gu Xun shook his head and denied with a smile, "Then you are thinking too much."

"Although Li Xin used a trick to counterattack Xiang Yan, he did not take advantage of it."

"The two armies fought fiercely three times near Ku County. Except for the fact that Xiang Yan was caught off guard at the beginning and suffered heavy losses, Li Xin did not take advantage in the subsequent two battles."

"The Chu army lost nearly 60,000 people, and Li Xin also added more than 40,000 soldiers. To put it mildly, it is said that they are evenly matched, and to say it is tragic, it means that both sides suffered losses."

"Fortunately, no matter what, Li Xin has temporarily given up Xiang Yan's desire for a sneak attack and allowed the other party to withdraw to Chengfu Yidai to garrison, and he can safely lead his army back to Chendi."

"This... General Li Xin is also a famous general with great achievements in the imperial court. He did not take advantage of it due to mental calculation or unintentional..." Fusu couldn't help but gasped slightly when he heard this.

Gu Xun was not too surprised by this result. He shrugged and said, "No matter what, Xiang Yan is a general with the title of 'Wu'an Jun'."

"Compared with Su Qin, Bai Qi, Li Mu (all Wu Anjun) and others, Xiang Yan may be far behind, but Li Xin...hehe, that's another story."

Fusu bowed his head in shame and said, "The teacher is right. Fusu underestimates others too much."

Gu Xun waved his hand indifferently, "This is not an issue that you and I should consider."

"Anyway, Li Xin has at least stabilized the situation on the front line. Those monstrous ghosts and snake spirits in Chen Di will surely stop soon."

The key to the turmoil in Chendi is that the outcome of the battle between the Qin and Chu armies is unknown.

There was a fire in the backyard of Li Xin's army, and the supply line was cut off. In the eyes of many people, it was at an absolute disadvantage.

Since the Qin army may not be arrogant for a few more days, there are naturally ambitious people who dare to cause trouble.

But now that the Chu army has retreated, the Qin army will come back soon. As long as they still want to survive, they will be honest and keep their tail between their legs.

As for giving it a go and fighting the Qin army... I'm just kidding, what can we do with 200,000 well-equipped and well-trained regular troops?

Not to mention 200,000, even the current 20,000 Qin troops in Chen's area cannot cope with them. However, these 20,000 people cannot be separated and dispersed. The quelling of chaos in one place is too slow, so that they still have time. Living with unrealistic fantasies.

When Fusu heard what Gu Xun said, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Indeed, he has no control over the war. He doesn't know how to lead troops to fight, and he has no right to dispatch troops or generals. He can just listen to the military situation.

What deserves his attention is Chen Di's matter. After the Qin army retook Chenying County, Gu Xun said that the King of Qin had privately appointed him to handle the affairs of Chendi, and then pushed Fusu to the front to handle all affairs.

Officials in Chendi and generals of the Qin army naturally did not dare to disobey Gu Xun's orders, but they all wrote to Xianyang to report the matter.

The final result was that Xianyang acquiesced to all this, without giving a formal king's order, but also without vetoing what Gu Xun did.

Therefore, Fusu took over the work of Xiong Qi, the previous Lord of Changping, and took charge of Chen Di.

This is the first time that Fusu, who has always been talking about war on paper, has taken over actual government affairs. Although the main task is to quell unrest everywhere, there are also a lot of internal affairs and people's livelihood, and litigation and prison matters for farmers and workers.

Although he didn't really need to handle the specific affairs personally, Fusu was still very tired - mainly because he was always worried about doing something wrong, and he was always struggling with himself.

Now knowing that everything was about to end, Fusu naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the affairs of a county are so confusing, how tormenting the affairs of a county or even a country must be?
  Fusu couldn't help but think about it, and then he couldn't help but shudder.

As expected, royal power is not that easy to control...

Gu Xun coughed slightly at this time and said, "Okay, hurry up and clean up Chen Di's affairs. It's time for us to return to Xianyang."

………………

In the 22nd year of the Qin Dynasty, Qin general Li Xin attacked Chu, and Changping Lord Xiong Qi rebelled against Chen Ying, intending to rebel. Fortunately, the eldest son Fusu foiled the plot, and Chen Ying died.

General Li Xin of Qin fought against Xiang Yan, Lord Wu'an of Chu State for half a year, but lost troops and generals and failed to make any progress.

By winter, the two countries made a truce and each gave up.

The following year, in the twenty-third year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, Qin Wangzheng personally went to Pinyang and asked the veteran general Wang Jian to come out of the mountain and mobilize the power of the whole country to send an army of 600,000 troops to attack Chu.

The Chu State also mobilized the strength of the whole country and gathered an army of more than 400,000, led by Xiang Yan, Lord of Wu'an, to confront Pingyu and the Qin army.

In the autumn of the same year, Wang Jian defeated the Chu army in the south of Qixian County and killed Xiang Yan.

The following year, in the 24th year of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian attacked Shouchun, the capital of Chu, and captured the King of Chu, leading to the demise of Chu.

In the same year, Wang Jian captured the old territory of Yue State, Baiyue Dongou.

Later, Qin established the four counties of Chu, Kuaiji, Changhe, and Jiujiang in the Baiyue territory of the Chu state.

In the twenty-fifth year of the Qin Dynasty, Qin general Wang Ben was ordered to wipe out the remaining forces of Yan and Zhao. He first defeated Liaodong and captured King Xi of Yan, and then defeated Dai and captured Wang Jia of Dai.

The two countries Yan and Zhao were completely destroyed.

In the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, Qin General Meng Tian was ordered to attack Qi. Qi Wangjian surrendered the whole country. Qin won without a fight, Qi Wangjian captured Qi Wangjian, and established Qi County and Langya County.

At this point, the six Shandong kingdoms including Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi have all turned into passing clouds.

After the completion of the six kings, the world becomes one and the world is unified!
  King Qin Yingzheng compared himself to "the virtues of the three emperors and the merits of the five emperors", so he took the words "huang" and "emperor" to call himself emperor.

Ying Zheng called himself the "First Emperor", which means that the title of emperor originated from him.

At this point, the first centralized imperial dynasty in China was born.

It’s for the Great Qin Empire!
