The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 487 I will sell it myself!
Qi was naturally delighted, how could they not agree? This would change the situation from offense to defense, and they could take the initiative to attack.

As for Wei, how could King Jingmin of Wei not agree to this? The Qin army is almost reaching Daliang City!
Besides, they had already agreed with Qi to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Chu.

Should we take this opportunity to attack Chu to gain some benefits, or fight to the death with Qi and Qin? This choice is too easy to make.

King Jingmin of Wei agreed directly, and Ying Zheng withdrew his troops. Wang Jian went to reinforce Zhang Tang, and the current strategic target is still Zhao State.

It's still difficult to defeat them relying only on Meng Wu and Zhang Tang, and Li Mu is not someone to be trifled with.

The situation changed so quickly.

In a short period of time, Meng Wu, Zhang Tang, and Wang Jian, with a total of more than 200,000 troops, attacked the State of Zhao.

Meanwhile, the eastern part of Zhao was being counterattacked by Tian Danqin and his army of 100,000, while the northern part of Yan was attacking Wusui at all costs in order to take back this vital throat.

The State of Wei was relieved. Wang Jian withdrew his troops and the State of Qi also stopped its attacks. The State of Wei was no longer under pressure.

But the State of Chu was also in trouble.

Yang Duanhe led an army of 100,000 and attacked aggressively. The State of Qi, led by Hou Sheng, sent out an army of 100,000 and fought back all the way, and were already attacking Qufu.

The betrayal of Wei State dealt him a heavy blow. The army that attacked Qi turned around and attacked Chu State under the leadership of Wei Yong, who was the most enthusiastic.

Wei Yong wanted to expand his fiefdom and resolve hidden dangers. Now his seven city fiefdoms bordered the State of Chu, all of which were fertile lands, but there was no sense of security at all. Taking the opportunity to expand the territory and leave a buffer zone for himself, Wei Yong was naturally extremely motivated.

King You of Chu was also stunned at this. He never expected that the situation would be reversed so quickly. The offense and defense had changed in such a short time.

King You of Chu hurriedly mobilized all the troops in the country and sent continuous reinforcements to resist. Unfortunately, although he seemed to have secured his throne, the court of Chu was at its weakest and it was difficult to form an effective and strong organization to deal with the chaos.

If the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Qi had not intended to destroy the State of Chu and only wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to grab more points, the new capital Shouchun would have been in danger, and King You of Chu might have had to temporarily flee south for refuge.

Han Wangan on the side was suddenly confused. What was going on?

It's normal that Han Wangan doesn't understand. Now no one wants to play with him when something happens.

After all, who would expect anything from a man who is buried up to his neck in the dirt?

After learning about the current situation, King Han An was trembling with fear.

This fight is too outrageous. The State of Zhao is now surrounded and beaten and is crying for its parents, and the State of Chu is also retreating step by step.

The Qin State next door was too fierce. If they did take action, it would be fine. But if they did, they would be ruthless.

This is not right. Didn’t Zhao and Chu lead the four countries to unite and resist Qin?

Why are the four countries fighting Zhao and Chu now?
Originally, King An of Han had hesitated whether to join the fight against Qin. Even if it was a dying struggle, he had to struggle. It would be okay to give some support behind the scenes. One day of delay is one day of delay.

But looking at the current situation, I have completely given up this idea. None of these people can be trusted.

It was not until the State of Chu lost twelve cities in a row that it was finally able to hold on. Nobles of all sizes also fought desperately and the situation was stabilized.

Ying Zheng also planned to quit while he was ahead, mainly because Qi and Wei also planned to quit while they were ahead. They couldn't let Qin take the lead for them, and it was not good to let Qi and Wei gain too much advantage, as they had already taken advantage of the situation and gained a lot of advantages.

As for Zhao, it was almost done. They had captured nine more cities and could withdraw. Even Qi had captured three cities, and Yan had taken back Wusui. They could no longer fight.

Although Li Mu was strong, he was outnumbered after all, and the number of his men was too small. Although he tried his best to hold on, he was ultimately unable to stop the attack and had to retreat with difficulty.

Besides, we cannot let Yan and Qi take advantage. Qi has taken a lot of advantage from Qin over the years, and we must also be careful about Qi becoming stronger.

After he was ready to stop, Ying Zheng sent a letter to King You of Chu and King Daoxiang of Zhao, saying that he did this only to rescue Qi and that the matter should be left alone for the time being, as they were relatives, they should still live in harmony.

Although King You of Chu and King Daoxiang of Zhao were furious, they still wrote back to express their understanding and gratitude, and signed a ceasefire agreement in a hurry.

After the Qin army withdrew, the three countries of Yan, Wei and Qi also withdrew their troops quickly and sent envoys to negotiate a ceasefire. The two countries of Zhao and Chu had no choice but to agree.

After the ceasefire was finally reached, King You of Chu chopped everything in the palace into pieces.

Similarly, this attempt to show off but ended up exposing his butt caused even greater undercurrents. The loss of so many cities caused dissatisfaction among many nobles. Even those who originally supported him or had nothing to do with the matter were now dissatisfied. King Chu You could only suppress them with more ruthless means.

But in any case, the instability within Chu has become more severe.

As for King Zhao Daoxiang, he vomited blood and fell ill. After insisting on dealing with the post-war chaos, he was bedridden.

The turmoil in the world, especially the Qin State's showing of its fangs again and expanding its territory, has also caused more people to change their minds.

Especially Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei was already extremely anxious. He had been waiting for the best opportunity to sell his property at the best price. However, the Qin State was developing too fast. If he continued to wait like this, he would not know when the best opportunity would come, and it was certain that his property would be sold at a lower and lower price.

Giving timely assistance and adding icing on the cake are completely different.

Bai Yifei sent another urgent letter to Madam Mingzhu, asking her cousin's opinion. If all else fails, she can ask the King of Qin if he needs to surrender now. If necessary, he can surrender immediately.

But Bai Yifei was still not as faster as the other person.

Of course it’s not Ji Wuye. This greedy guy is not willing to give up his current wealth easily.

He was all-powerful and could do whatever he wanted in Han State, but when he arrived in Qin State, he was nothing. Moreover, Qin laws were strict, and it was difficult for someone like him who was used to doing whatever he wanted to do, to get used to Qin laws.

His idea is very simple, to delay it for one day, to be happy for one day, and then to invest when the situation is almost the same.

He also found a good reason for himself. After all, South Korea still had the strength to fight to the death, and he was not without powerful enemies in the court. Although King An of Han seemed cowardly and incompetent, he could still control the power of the court and the country.

If I take the initiative to join, it may not succeed if someone obstructs me. I am not completely sure that I can control the situation. If it fails, then it's all over. I'd better wait a little longer.

The faster person is of course Han Wangan!

Han Wangan’s main point is to be sensible!

Know when to advance and when to retreat, and understand gains and losses!

King An of Han saw that all the countries were in a mess, and that the territory of Qin almost surrounded Han, and was only slightly connected to Wei. When he opened the map and looked at it, he felt that Han was an eyesore.

In this situation, it is better to seek dignity yourself than to be treated decently by others, as it will be difficult to be decent at that time.

Han Wangan also knew that many people in Korea wanted to sell Korea at a good price.

Humph! In that case, I'll do it myself!

Rather than letting these traitors use my head to exchange for wealth and glory, it would be better for me to prepare a way out for the Han family in advance!
Even if you are not a member of the royal family, you can still ensure the wealth of your family.

King An of Han sent Zhang Kaidi as an envoy to present a congratulatory message, stating that Han was a vassal state of Qin and the King of Han was a vassal of the King of Qin.

Great Qin treats all nations with benevolence, but all nations unite to resist Qin for no reason. This is unjust. However, South Korea will never be disloyal!

Han has always been the most loyal vassal state of Qin, and the King of Han has always been the most loyal subject of the King of Qin.

Now that Great Qin has helped our relatives to win, it is an act of great benevolence and righteousness, and is also a cause for celebration. South Korea is willing to offer the land of Nanyang to Qin as a gift.

If the King of Qin is willing to accept it, the King of Han will go to Qin in person to pay homage and offer Nanyang.

When Zhang Kaidi heard Han Wangan's decision, he was silent for a long time, sighed, and left.

His spirit became even older, but he did not try to persuade her any further.

The final result had already been determined, and no one knew how many people from top to bottom had already thought about surrendering to Qin.

Those who don't want to vote are not doing it for the sake of Korea's country and people. They are just a group of incompetent people who are worried about losing everything. This group of people cannot stop the Qin State.

The Zhang family has been loyal to the Kingdom of Korea and the Han family for generations. They can't just lie with their eyes open and force the King of Han to resist, leading to the complete destruction of the Han family, right?

It’s good now, at least the family can be rich and prosperous.

At the same time, Zhang Kaidi was also thinking about his own way out. The Zhang family had been prime ministers for five generations, and their network of relationships spread throughout Korea. He was useful, and as long as he was sincere in his service, the King of Qin would certainly use him!
When this news spread throughout South Korea, well, although there was a lot of noise, it was not really that people wanted to oppose it. On the contrary, there was more excitement and steadiness.

It's better not to fight hard. Fighting hard is like hitting a rock with an egg. If there is a glimmer of hope by fighting hard, maybe some people are willing to fight. But if there is no doubt of death, then no one will be willing to fight.

At this time, the importance of a good reputation is even more evident. Everyone expects a wise and virtuous king, and a good reputation can eliminate too many desperate and rebellious intentions.

The cost of ruling by relying solely on killing and force is too high. Governing the country by morality can greatly reduce the cost of ruling and the intensity of resistance.

South Korea is adjacent to Daqin. The changes in Daqin in recent years have been clearly seen, and the people at the bottom all want to surrender.

Although the grassroots officials, nobles and clerks were worried about losing, they were not pure proletarians and dared not resist. They knew very well how big the gap was and what the consequences would be if they resisted.

Moreover, no matter who becomes the big boss, they cannot do without those who work at the grassroots level. The Qin State has a better chance of advancement. Moreover, because of its strict laws, they are not bullied by the nobles. Ordinary people and clerks do not reject it. After all, even stricter and better rules are always better than rules that favor the upper class.

As for the middle and high-level nobles, they didn't want to fight for their lives. They just wanted to change a big boss. Although the Qin law was a bit strict, it also had rules. If you had talent, you could be promoted. Even if you would lose some property and land, you could get it back.

The big guys are strong and have a lot of family knowledge, so they always have a better starting point than those unruly people.
