The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 132: The Battle is Winning

Ying Zheng rewarded Yan Jin generously, and seeing how hard he had worked, he asked him to go back and have a good rest.

After Yan Jin left, Li Wu saw that Ying Zheng was in a very happy mood, unlike the anger he had in the previous two days, and Li Wu was also happy for him.

A sweet voice said, "My king, there are not many affairs to attend to today. I have just learned a new dance. Would you like to take a rest?"

Ying Zheng was in a happy mood and readily agreed: "Okay, it's been a while since I last appreciated your singing and dancing."

Li Wu's face lit up, and she said coquettishly: "It's all because the king is too tired. I also want the king to rest more. If I can relieve the king's fatigue, I will be satisfied."

Ying Zheng is a workaholic on weekdays and has little time for entertainment or watching singing and dancing. Li Wu works hard to improve her singing and dancing skills every day just for the king to see more.

It’s a pity that the king is too busy.

The war is about to begin again.

The Qin-Chu alliance was finally signed, and the army has been assembled to attack Wei!

While the State of Chu was sending Mi Yun to Qin with great fanfare, the other two countries, Qin and Chu, were not idle either. They had already assembled their armies and were attacking Wei from two routes, one in the southeast and one in the northwest.

Suddenly, the whole world was in chaos. The State of Zhao could no longer bear it and, under the instigation of Qin's spies, attacked Wei together with the State of Zhao.

Ying Zheng sent the veteran general Bi Gong (since the history has lost his name, we will just call him Bi Gong) to lead an army of 80,000 to attack Yuncheng and Anyi in the northwest of Wei. Xiang Yan of Chu led an army of 150,000 to attack Yangcheng in the south of Wei. Zhao also sent Lian Po to take the opportunity to attack Fanyang. For a time, Wei was attacked from three sides and was really in a state of panic.

It's not over yet, there is a chain reaction. Seeing that its big brother has taken action, South Korea also wants to replenish its blood. Shangcai is a very good area, and South Korea is also ready to move. It would be good to drink some soup with Qin and Chu.

But this time, Qin was more restrained and was ready to stop after achieving some results. On the one hand, it did not want to push Wei too far, as King Anxi of Wei and Lord Xinling were not dead yet.

On the one hand, they hoped to use this war to provoke chaos in the Central Plains, but on the other hand, Qin did not want to get too deeply involved, and the grand strategy of encroachment could not be disrupted. For the sake of long-term interests, the immediate small gains could be put on hold for the time being.

If Qin is too impatient and fights too fiercely, it will only force the Three Jins to unite again.

Moreover, new laws and policies must be formulated before testing in newly conquered cities. It is not advisable to take too big a step. There are newly conquered cities in Han and Wei, so we can try out the effects at the same time.

I'll also take advantage of this to trick Chu and Zhao. Qin has already started the war, but I'm about to get married, so there's no point in continuing the war at this time.

We are helping you and helping you to contain the Wei army and share the pressure. You have already captured several cities, so it is reasonable to stop.

Do you really want to destroy the State of Wei? You are too unreasonable. You should leave a way out for us so that we can meet again in the future, do you understand?
After capturing six cities, beheading 20,000 people and capturing 20,000 prisoners, Ying Zheng decisively suspended the offensive and prepared to negotiate peace.

But mainly, at that time, Zhao and Chu also achieved some results, and because Qin attracted most of Wei's attention, they fought very smoothly and ended up making some progress.

The Qin army did not inform them in advance about its withdrawal (intentionally). Instead, it informed Wei that Qin was ready for peace talks and stopped the offensive, and then sent people to the two places to notify them.

With Qin's retreat, Wei's pressure was greatly reduced, so it dispatched a large force to ambush Zhao and Chu. Zhao and Chu were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, and were defeated repeatedly.

When the envoys arrived, Zhao Chu had already vomited back most of the cities it had taken over, so you can imagine how slowly it was going forward.

Moreover, Zhao and Chu had no way to say anything. They were the ones who dared to let the enemy advance deep into their territory. Qin did not take action, so they could not blame others.

Ying Zheng didn't care what they thought. They were all so stupid. Go ahead and fight. The more you fight, the happier I am.

Sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, I want to capture all the hidden dragons.

When Zhao and Chu suffered a great loss and were about to suspend their attack to save their victory, Princess Mi Yun of Chu finally arrived at Xianyang City, where she had been thinking about for a long time, and was about to meet her long-awaited husband, King Ying Zheng of Qin. At the same time, Ying Zheng also got something that made him even happier: King Xiaocheng of Zhao passed away.

King Xiaocheng of Zhao has been in poor health in the past two years. When Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, Zhao sent Crown Prince Chunping Hou to Qin as a hostage because of the Jinyang incident. Some time ago, Zhao sent people to request to send Chunping Hou back.

However, after Ying Zheng sent people to observe, he found that Chunping Hou did have some ability, but only a little.

This person cannot be sent back under any circumstances. After all, having someone like Zhao Yan as the monarch of an enemy country is something that the Qin State should celebrate.

Zhao Yan was not very old, but the key point was that the close ministers around him were all beauties like Jianxin Jun and war gods like Guo Kai, and the queen was a prostitute.

Look at the people around this man. With such a group of people holding the highest power in the State of Zhao, how can the State of Zhao be well?

We must not let the candidate for King Zhao be changed. King Xiaocheng of Zhao is also a ruthless character, but a good father always has many bad sons, and his son is really, wow.

He did not refuse directly, as this would have been unreasonable. He kept dragging it on until King Xiaocheng of Zhao passed away. Then Zhao Yan immediately took the throne on the grounds that there was an external war and the country could not be without a king for a day.

The pillars of the court, such as Lian Po and Li Mu, were fighting outside. The current prime minister, Lord Jianxin, and Lord Wuxiang, Le Cheng, were both Zhao Yan's men, and they succeeded to the throne of King Zhao very smoothly.

At this point it didn't matter whether Chunping Hou went back or not.

During this process, the Qin State was not idle either. With Wei Liao's relationship, it was extremely adept at dealing with people like Guo Kai.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he gave Guo Kai a great achievement and let Lu Buwei and Guo Kai perform a good show, making Zhao Yan think that it was Guo Kai who bribed Lu Buwei to prevent Qin from releasing Chunping Hou to Zhao. Guo Kai made a great achievement of following the dragon and was more favored by Zhao Yan.

Of course, he also took the opportunity to make a small deal with Guo Kai in private. For example, now, let's get rid of Lian Po first.

Zhao Yan came to the throne in a hurry, and the process was not perfect. After all, he had snatched the throne from his brother, so he inevitably felt guilty and needed to immediately promote his own people to important positions, especially military power.

Lian Po was still attacking Wei. It would have been extremely foolish to change generals in the middle of a battle, but Zhao Yan did it anyway.

Although Zhao Yan himself was worried, he could not do without Guo Kai's eloquence.

Guo Kai, this is the real god of war!
Even a hundred thousand elite soldiers cannot defeat the words of a treacherous minister.

War is the continuation of politics and the last step. If problems can be solved at the political level, there is no need to start a war.

After all, war is a matter of great importance to a country, a matter of life and death, a road to survival or destruction, and it must be carefully considered.

Once a war starts, the consequences are difficult to control, and there are many cases of people capsizing in the gutter.

This is the truth: no matter how big a country is, it will perish if it is warlike.

The gold given to Wei Liao was worth it. A strategist's thirty years of relationships and his eloquence were worth two hundred thousand elite soldiers.

Now Wuxiang Jun Le Cheng has led his troops to take over the military power. Lian Po has always been at odds with him and has a bad temper. I really don't know what the outcome will be.

The result will definitely make Qin and Wei happy.

No matter what, Daqin keeps winning!
