The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 221: Attack Wei! The Desperate King Anxi of Wei
Several people threw his luggage, sword and him into the carriage, and then rushed to the east without stopping.

Jing Ke had a blank expression on his face and didn't say a word along the way. Several Xuanyu Guards were too lazy to talk to him. They teased him all the way to the Qin-Zhao border, completely untied his acupoints, and then left him and his belongings on the side of the road and turned away.

Jing Ke fell in the snow and mud by the roadside and was unwilling to get up for a long time.

Looking up at the sky aimlessly, the sun was shining brightly, but it could not warm Jing Ke at all.

What's the point of living?
Just when Jing Ke was about to freeze to death, the personal guards secretly sent by Yan Dan finally found him.

During this period, Jing Ke and the people around Yan Dan became familiar with each other, and Jing Ke's personal charm deeply impressed these people. Although they all felt that what Jing Ke did was extremely stupid, it was already very difficult for him to escape danger, and they also really cared about Jing Ke.

Several people helped him up, cleaned him up briefly, and changed his outer clothes.

A guard asked with concern: "Mr. Qing Ke, how are you now?"

Jing Ke looked at the few people, forced himself to smile, and said, "It's okay, everything is fine."

"Brothers, thank you for your trouble."

Jing Ke forced himself to stand up straight: "Brothers, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is okay now?"

With an apologetic look on his face, he said, "I did something stupid. I wonder if I have caused trouble for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

A guard replied, "Mr. Qing Ke, it was just a false alarm. His Royal Highness is fine. The King of Qin did not embarrass His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is now being escorted back to the State of Yan."

"Your Highness's troops will not be as fast as ours. Your Highness has inquired about the King of Qin's treatment of you and is worried about your safety, so he specially sent us to search for your guards."

"Fortunately, sir, nothing is wrong."

Jing Ke was extremely moved. There were still people in the world who cared about him and people he needed to repay. How could he give up?
He immediately cheered up and said with emotion: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Qing and Jing Ke are really grateful."

The personal guards were relieved to see that Jing Ke had perked up and no longer looked hopeless.

"Mr. Qing Ke, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is being escorted by Qin people, and the large group is moving slowly. His Royal Highness has instructed that if we find you, we can go back to Yan State to recuperate and wait for His Royal Highness to return."

Jing Ke looked at them and said, "Brothers, I have something else to ask for your help. I need to go back to Qi State first. When I have settled my family affairs, I will have nothing to worry about. Then I will go to Yan State to pledge my loyalty to Your Highness. Your Highness has been so kind to me, how can I not repay you?"

Several people looked at each other, and the leading guard said decisively: "If His Highness knew that Mr. Wang was willing to help, he would be happy. It is natural for Mr. Wang to want to return to his country."

"Sir, you seem to be unwell. We brothers will escort you back to Qi. It will be faster if we travel light. It will only take a few days to get from Qi to Yan. I'm sure your Highness won't be here by then."

Jing Ke looked at everyone gratefully: "Thank you, brothers!"

"Sir, please don't be so polite. We all admire your character. It is a great honor for us to be able to help you."

At this time, the personal guards discovered that there was something wrong with Jing Ke's right hand. After several people asked about it, they were all shocked and secretly sighed that it was a pity. As a warrior and swordsman, who didn't know the importance of the right hand? A lifetime of hard work was ruined in an instant.

But they didn't think about anything else, and hurriedly took out the medicine they carried with them and treated Jing Ke's wounds. For specific treatment, they still had to return to Qi. The Qing family was wealthy and powerful, and they hoped to find a famous doctor to treat him, but it was probably impossible for him to use force with his right hand.

I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can find a medical master to treat him. The journey back to Sanghai City was not easy. Now the State of Zhao had launched an attack on the State of Yan. None of these people had a Zhao accent, so they took a lot of detours to avoid trouble.

One of them returned to Yan Dan to report the situation.

The war is about to begin again. This is a terrible and chaotic time. Even if you don’t like war, you cannot avoid it. Things in the world will never change according to human will.

Ying Zheng is a person who likes to take the initiative.

So Ying Zheng took the lead in planning and leading the war.

Leadership is so important.

After signing the alliance with Guo Kai, as soon as Guo Kai left Qin, Ying Zheng had already sent troops to attack Hedong with overwhelming force.

Ying Zheng never liked to take risks and always liked to use his grand power to overwhelm others. This time, in order to take over a piece of Hedong land, he dispatched Meng Ao, Wang Jian, and Meng Wu to lead an army of 150,000. This force was enough to destroy Han.

The Qin army is now equipped with siege equipment from the Gongshu family and the Mohist school, and its logistics, armaments, food, and medical care are complete. Moreover, teams of a thousand men or more are equipped with elite cavalry and complete military formations, not to mention their high morale and combat awareness that far surpass those of the soldiers of the other six countries.

Taking South Korea as an example, if it was a frontal battlefield, the Qin army of more than 10,000 would be enough to easily crush the 30,000 South Korean army.

These are all hard strengths, not just tricks.

This is the truth: those who are good at fighting do not have to have glorious achievements. Instead, they use their grand momentum and hard power to steadily crush their opponents, and victory will come naturally.

Any general who likes to take risks is definitely not a good general unless he has no choice.

The sudden attack of the Qin State caught the Wei State off guard. The Hedong area had been severely drained by Zhang Tang last year, and the Wei State had not recovered at all. Under the pincer attack from Meng Ao and Meng Wu from the east and the west, the Wei State was defeated and had no power to resist.

The Wei State was still in chaos at this time.

Some time ago, Xinling Jun and General Gongsun Xiu were assassinated by Luo Wang. King Anxi of Wei was both happy and sad, both in pain and pity. He had completely let go of the breath he had left in his heart, and now he is barely breathing.

After the war ended last year, Crown Prince Zeng basically took charge of government affairs. King Anxi of Wei spared no effort to pave the way for him and taught him as much of his life experience as possible. However, the more he taught, the more desperate King Anxi of Wei became.

Great Wei, my Great Wei, my ancestors, is there still hope for Great Wei?
With King Anxi of Wei's political wisdom, he had already figured out the reasons for the rather strange chaos in the world last year.

But after realizing this, King Anxi of Wei fell into complete despair.

He couldn't even believe his own guess.

The King of Qin succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen in the midst of crisis. He immediately took charge of the government and managed the entire Qin State in an orderly manner, making him a rare and outstanding ruler.

But now, before he even reached the age of twenty, he could actually treat the world as a chess piece and manipulate it at will. His foresight and great talent are simply unimaginable. This cannot be explained by saying that the State of Qin had good ministers who could assist him.

Such a formidable opponent, even if he faces it personally, he must be extremely alert, and he may not be his opponent. But his son, Prince Zeng, is already good, but he is still a fool, not even half as good as he was when he was young! How can he compare with the King of Qin?
