The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 312 I see, it's really a joke

The Chu army had no strong intention to launch external attacks and had not yet assembled.

The main thing is that even if the war goes smoothly this time, Chu will gain little direct benefit, and the local lords have no motivation.

Moreover, many people did not want to offend the Qin State. The relationship with the Qin State was quite good these days, so there was no need to anger the Qin State.

We are under the nose of Qin State. Qin State can attack us downstream at any time. It is good enough that they don't attack us now. It is really unwise to actively provoke Qin State.

Due to various reasons, they have been procrastinating, and coupled with the vast territory, they have not yet fully assembled.

The State of Zhao was ready, but it stopped at Zhongmu because it did not trust the State of Wei and wanted the State of Chu to arrive first before the State of Zhao.

After all, your Wei State has surrendered to Qin State twice last year, and you are not worthy of trust now.

As for the State of Wei, there was constant quarreling within the country, and the peace-loving faction was trying their best to stop the attack on Qin.

They had asked for peace before, and Qin agreed. The agreement was signed, and the Qin army stopped attacking. The city had been under dispute for nearly half a year, but Qin did not turn against them.

As a result, this was a delaying tactic. Who would dare to make friends with Wei in the future? And wouldn't this completely destroy the political credibility of the peace advocates?

Moreover, the peace factions such as Lu Liao were not optimistic about the outcome of the attack on Qin, nor were they optimistic about what real results the coalition forces could achieve. Instead of angering Qin, it would be better to slow down Qin first, seize land from Qi, Zhao and Han, recover its vitality, and gradually grow stronger.

Anyway, ever since the loss of Hedong, the states of Zhao and Han are facing the greatest pressure from Qin.

King Jingmin of Wei was determined to fight, while the peace-loving Lü Liao faction was determined to stop them. Zhao State saw that even now, the Wei court was still arguing. Everyone in Zhao State would be afraid, and they would not dare to advance first.

King Kaolie of Chu was determined and powerful enough, but the efficiency of Chu was worrying, and the actions of Zhao did make King Kaolie of Chu hesitate.

Yes, Chu and Wei also have hatred, and the new King of Wei negotiated peace with Qin twice last year. What if he backs down now?
Wei Yong, the old fox, seized the opportunity and secretly sent people to bribe the ministers of Chu and Zhao, asking them to propose that Wei must be forced to have no way out, otherwise it would be a big disaster.

It is suggested to force the King of Wei to kill Lü Liao, the leader of the peace faction. Lü Liao has always been pro-Qin and has always been on good terms with Qin. It was also Lü Liao who signed the peace treaty with Qin. If Lü Liao is killed, the King of Wei will have no way out, and Wei will also attract more hatred from Qin.

Moreover, Lü Liao held a high position of power in the State of Wei. He was an old minister of King Anxi of Wei and had always been loyal to him. If the new King of Wei rashly killed him, it would be detrimental to the hearts of both the ministers and the court of Wei, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

This suggestion deeply touched Chu and Zhao. After all, it was Wei that was in chaos, the backbone of Wei was destroyed, and the court of Wei was in chaos. As for making Wei weaker, Chu and Zhao were happy to see it happen.

Chu and Zhao successively sent envoys to demand that King Jingmin of Wei must show his sincerity in resisting Qin and must execute Lü Liao. King Jingmin of Wei was also very annoyed with Lü Liao. Already angered by Lü Liao, King Jingmin of Wei did not think much about it, nor was he willing to think about it. He executed Lü Liao neatly and also killed four or five ministers who pleaded for him.

The impact of this incident is far-reaching, but King Jingmin of Wei cannot feel it now. He just feels that finally no one is nagging in his ears anymore.

Indeed, this time no one in favor of peace spoke anymore.

No one spoke anymore, including loyal ministers with different political views.

King Jingmin of Wei raised an army of 150,000 and rushed to Xingyang.

After seeing how stupid King Jingmin of Wei was, the State of Zhao finally felt at ease to follow suit.

As for the State of Chu, it had finally assembled its forces.

But now King Kaolie of Chu is regretting it. Fuck him!

I have an army of 150,000 men assembled, war has been declared, and my teammates are in place. Tell me that my daughter has given birth to the King of Qin's eldest son, and the King of Qin has even bestowed her with the Phoenix Crown!

The next step will most likely be to crown the queen!
But now it was all going to be over.

King Kaolie of Chu regretted his decision very much. If his daughter had really become the Queen of Qin, he could have chosen another path. That is, to stabilize Qin for the time being, divide the Three Jins together, and then each rely on their own abilities.

But now that things have come to this, what can we do?
King Kaolie of Chu had to swallow his anger even if it meant he had to break his teeth. He regretted so much that he couldn't sleep. A good relationship was completely ruined and his future was gone.

If his daughter becomes the queen, then the eldest son will become the legitimate eldest son. As long as he does not die young, his grandson will be the King of Qin in the future. What's the big deal now?

But no matter what, things have come to this point, and Chunshen Jun can only lead the army on the journey.

As for the State of Yan, seeing that the situation was irreversible, it sent Yan Chunjun as the main general and Yan Dan as the deputy general to lead an army of 50,000 to Xingyang.

This number was carefully calculated by King Xi of Yan. Even if the other coalition forces were dissatisfied, they could barely accept it.

I was forced to do this, and I suffered heavy losses in the past two years. I only have this much military force left. I have sent the crown prince and my younger brother, what else do you want from me?
The other countries don't need a Yan State, after all, they all really tried their best this time.

Chu sent 150,000 troops, Wei sent 150,000 troops, Zhao sent 100,000 troops, Han sent 100,000 troops, and even Wei's little brother Wei sent out 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled troops from somewhere, plus Yan's 50,000 troops.

The coalition forces had a total strength of 560,000!
With such a million-strong army, the Qin army would definitely not dare to fight. It would definitely give up the Guandong area and shrink in Hangu Pass and dare not come out. This attack on Qin would be extremely easy.

The army slowly gathered and then slowly attacked Daqin.

Looking at this boundless army, Pang Nuan could not feel happy, but extremely anxious.

You are called the commander-in-chief, but you can't give orders. If you can't give orders, it's of no use having more people.

Chunshen Jun was also extremely anxious, just like Pang Nuan. His situation was better, at least everyone gave him face, but he could not command the commanders of various countries.

Apart from anything else, keeping so many people in order, maintaining internal stability in the coalition, and preventing ordinary soldiers from fighting was already a busy task for Chunshen Jun and Pang Nuan.

Do you really think that anyone can lead as many troops as possible?
Moreover, these are different countries, with different armies that have deep hatred for each other. Even if a military saint were alive or a god of war were reborn, they would not be able to lead the 560,000 people from these six countries.

Now he understood and no longer envied Xinling Jun.

No wonder the coalition forces withdrew and dispersed as they pleased last time.

Now I understand that this is not an easy job. The credit belongs to everyone, but the person in charge takes the blame. The benefits have to be shared, but no one takes the risk and no one wants to fight the tough battle.

Ever since the army assembled, Chunshen Jun and Pang Nuan have been working day and night.

As for the leader's ulterior motives, there was really nothing he could do about it, and he didn't have the energy to do anything about it. He could only hope that there was strength in numbers and the Qin army would not dare to fight.

And the coalition's goals, well, to be honest, are not consistent.
