The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 322 Big victory!

What if they want to fight with the State of Chu? They are in the wrong anyway, after all, they were the ones who started this matter, and they are the ones in charge.

When Wei Zhao received the news, he was also frightened and quickly withdrew his troops while cursing.

The State of Wei also ignored the situation and did not notify anyone.

As for the State of Yan, they are not in a hurry.

Even during the siege, the State of Yan was flirting with the Qin army.

We are all family.

Although he was not in a hurry and had been prepared, Yan Chunjun did not dare to bet that the Qin army would sweep away the Yan army.

After receiving the news, they retreated quickly.

Wang Jian and Bie Gong received the news faster than Pang Nuan and his men, and made preparations in advance according to the plan.

When the coalition forces retreated, they did not delay at all and chased after them.

After Meng Ao defeated the Chu army, he did not care about the Chu army.

In the Qin's strategy, the Chu State was relatively backward, with Wei and Zhao being the main forces.

After ordering Zhang Tang to lead 100,000 troops to keep an eye on the Chu army and ensure that the Chu army had no spare strength to support.

He led his army without stopping and attacked the retreat route of Wei and Zhao.

Under the siege of Meng, Ao Wang and Duke Biao, Wei and Zhao suffered heavy losses.

The Chu army was also in a state of despair under Zhang Tang's control. Zhang Tang sent 30,000 elite troops downstream with great fanfare to attack the Chu territory, forcing Chunshen Jun to sell out all the countries and retreat early to return for reinforcements, without even caring about the food supply.

Regardless of whether Zhang Tang's offensive was real or fake, Chunshen Jun had to return to provide support. He didn't dare to gamble at all.

On the way back for reinforcements, Zhang Tang took advantage of the opportunity to attack them and caused heavy losses.

As for the coalition forces' food supply, there were only 30,000 leaderless coalition forces from the Three Kingdoms left, which were vulnerable, especially the Yan army, which retreated extremely decisively.

The instability of the food supply made the already unfavorable situation of the coalition forces even worse, leading to a direct defeat.

The defeat was like a landslide, and with the momentum of a great victory, the Qin army easily recaptured all the cities.

And along the way, they captured more than 20 cities including Chaoge, Puyang, Dangyin, Zhongmu, etc. from Wei and Zhao.

The establishment of Dongjun completely broke the backbone of Shandong's coalition.

Great Qin, great victory.

In this world war, the coalition forces of various countries were powerful and unstoppable in the early stage, making rapid progress.

But in the blink of an eye, the coalition forces were defeated, and everything came to nothing, shocking the world.

All this was within Ying Zheng's expectations.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little excited. After this battle, the outcome was decided!

As long as we accumulate national strength and prepare talents, we can start the war to destroy the country.

Now we still have to instigate civil strife among the nations.

After this battle, they will fight among themselves.

The reason is simple. Since true cooperation is impossible, they must strengthen themselves as quickly as possible in order to fight against the Qin State.

As one grows stronger while the other shrinks, great things will be accomplished!
This battle ended with a great victory for the Qin Dynasty.

This group of people don't have the ability to fight tough battles, but they can run very fast.

But even so, the six countries all suffered heavy casualties.

Wei, Zhao and Chu suffered the most.

Wei lost more than 50,000 soldiers and was counterattacked all the way to Chaoge, losing 14 cities. Qin established Dongjun. With such a strategic location captured, Wei had completely become a meal for Qin, who could attack Wei and Zhao at any time along the Qi River.

Moreover, if they lose the area above and below the Qi River, with just a little more effort, Daqin and Qi can be directly connected, and the connection between Wei, Chu and Zhao in the north and south can be completely cut off.

The idea of ​​forming an alliance is no longer possible.

Pang Nuan saw that the situation was not good, and the old general reacted very quickly. With more cavalry, the Zhao army only lost more than 20,000 people.

Since the Qin State's targets were all along the Qi River, Wei suffered heavy losses, while Zhao State only lost seven cities.

Now Pang Nuan was filled with shame and gathered his defeated troops to defend firmly. However, he also made up his mind secretly that after Qin gave up, he would immediately attack Qi to make up for the losses.

The reason is ready-made. It's all your fault that Qi didn't join the coalition, which led to the failure!
The Chu State was in a good situation, as it did not lose any cities. Ying Zheng had no intention of forcing the Chu State into a corner, and these guys were still working hard on defense.

As for the 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers who died in the battle, the State of Chu said it was a small problem and that it was okay as long as the city was not lost.

As for the worst hit, it was Wei's nephew Wei State, which was completely finished and was swept away.

This is the tragedy of a small country. It has no control over itself from beginning to end and is eventually destroyed.

However, Ying Zheng did not destroy the State of Wei. He moved the King of Wei to Yewang and left him a fief of ten miles, and continued to worship him.

This was to save face for Lu Buwei and Zhong Cang, who were both from the Wei State.

Furthermore, there is Gongsun Li.

Gongsun Yu was loyal to his king and fought against the State of Wei. After his death, the King of Wei, who was completely controlled by the State of Wei, had no choice but to label Gongsun Yu a rebel.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yu was an upright person and there were righteous men who admired his character. After his death, someone collected his body. Although it was not a grand funeral, he did have a final burial place and his body was not left exposed in the wilderness.

Ying Zheng ordered the King of Wei to rehabilitate Gongsun Yu, posthumously confer a title on him, find his body and bury him with great honor, and generously reward the heroes who recovered his body.

This action also moved Gongsun Li so much that she no longer had any grudges against him.

She was extremely grateful that she had married the King of Qin, and that her grandfather's reputation had been restored and his good name would be passed down through the ages, which was something she would never be able to do in her lifetime.

When the war gradually came to an end, the real storm hit the countries.

This time all the strategic goals have been achieved, but Ying Zheng did not blindly seek to capture more cities. After achieving all the strategic goals, he temporarily rested and stopped advancing.

After all, the countries are not completely powerless to fight back, and it is best to stop while you are ahead.

After showing great power and gaining all the advantages on the battlefield, you should stop while you are ahead. The rest can be obtained at the negotiation table.

You must never lose your temper in a war. It is better to be cautious than to be impulsive and careless.

What can be achieved at the negotiation table need not necessarily be achieved through war.

Many times deterrence is more important than actual combat effectiveness.

Fighting a defensive war in your own home is different from fighting a war of aggression in someone else's home. Now all countries have suffered heavy losses. As the saying goes, an army of mourners will eventually be defeated. Since we have no ability and no intention to start a war of annihilation, we should cautiously stop.

The stupidest thing in this world is to expand war without any purpose.

Wage a pointless war.

Once the strategic goal is achieved, we should stop in time.

Ying Zheng was very clear about these things, so after all the strategic goals had been achieved, Ying Zheng did not continue to pursue the victory and blindly demand the capture of the city.

If we really force all countries to unite and work together, it would be counterproductive.

It's not like the countries are completely powerless to fight back. Defense and offense are completely different.

The best thing to do is to scare them and then erode the money and blackmail them, or they can digest it slowly.

Just like now, as long as the Qin army stops attacking, the other countries will never consider counterattacking.

The subsequent reactions of various countries proved that what Ying Zheng considered was completely correct.
