The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 638 Everyone has a bright future

King You of Chu is now facing such a situation where he is being bullied from all sides.

Li Yuan led an army of 100,000 to confront the State of Qi. There were no major battles between the two sides, but small battles were constant. Hou Sheng was not a warmongering person, nor was he a famous general of the time. After taking Qufu and several small cities, he met Li Yuan leading a large army and stopped quickly, knowing when to quit.

Anyway, he has already fulfilled Ying Zheng's request.

As for Zhao Heng, he led 80,000 troops to fight against the resentful Wei Yong. At the beginning, Wei Yong easily captured several small cities, which made Wei Yong even more resentful.

In Wei Yong's opinion, the attack was so smooth. If the attack was on the Pengcheng line, even if only Xuzhou was taken, it would be a huge profit. As a result, now he can't get any benefit, and the cities that were captured all belong to the king.

Wei Yong unceremoniously vented his anger on Zhao Heng and attacked him fiercely.

Zhao Heng was very confused. Aren't you from Wei State here to take advantage of the situation? Is it necessary to work so hard? You have already taken advantage of it, why not just stop while you are ahead?
Zhao Heng was also annoyed by Wei Yong's continuous attacks. You bunch of bastards are taking advantage of the situation and acting as if you are right. Zhao Heng also fought back fiercely. The battle between Chu and Wei was extremely brutal.

As for King You of Chu, he sent two armies of 150,000 troops with great fanfare, and they had been confronting the Qin army.

Ying Zheng had no intention of attacking, he just wanted to tie up King You of Chu's military forces. Now that King You of Chu had such a strong reaction, it was exactly what Ying Zheng wanted.

After King You of Chu calmed down, he realized that the State of Qin would not take any action.

After he figured it out, King You of Chu was furious and resentful, and his heart was bleeding. How long would it take for the Chu Kingdom to recover after such a thing happened?

But there was no way, he wouldn't dare to gamble even if it happened again.

But since I have already risked my life, I can’t waste it.

King You of Chu immediately divided the 150,000 troops into 110,000, with 80,000 to support Zhao Heng and 30,000 to support Li Yuan. He left only 20,000 elite troops in each army as a precaution, and sent the rest to attack Wei and Qi.

Now King You of Chu hated the two countries of Qi and Wei the most.

As for Changping Jun, he has been the most conflicted ever since King You of Chu started the war. He is excited, scared and confused. He wants to take advantage of this chaos to take another step forward, but he doesn't know how to do it.

Before he was able to obtain the full support of the Qin army, the power in his hands could be almost ignored, especially after Zhao and Qu returned to the command of King You of Chu.

Then the series of events that happened next made him even more confused about what to do.

Suddenly, Qi and Wei took advantage of the situation and attacked Chu together, and Qin also made some moves.

Changping Jun was both excited and conflicted.

What's exciting is whether we can take this opportunity to persuade the Qin State to come down and decide the outcome in one fell swoop!

The dilemma is that Qian Kun Ding is too strict. If one is not careful, the Three Kingdoms will take the opportunity to destroy Chu and divide it up. That would be a lot of fun.

But soon Changping Jun realized that he had thought too much. After several attempts and communications, he found that the Qin State was just bluffing and had no intention of sending troops.

As for the eldest brother who was about to put down the war, he was still forced to withdraw his troops and could only urgently resist Qi and Wei. He did not dare to be careless when facing Qin and deployed heavy troops for defense.

Changping Jun sighed secretly. It was not in the interests of Qin for Chu to develop peacefully. Qin also did not want anyone to easily win the final victory. Qin must hope to maintain the internal strife in Chu until Qin sent troops.

The King of Qin really had a good grasp of the situation and everything was under his control.

Although he knew the King of Qin's thoughts, Changping Jun was also really worried about something unexpected happening. If foreign enemies really destroyed the State of Chu, this was definitely not what Changping Jun wanted to see.

Changping Jun could only give up unwillingly and think about stirring up trouble in this war.

Although Changping Jun was dissatisfied with Ying Zheng, he kept it deep in his heart and dared not show it at all.

Now he has no other choice but to rely on the Qin State.

There is no other way. Relying on external forces means bowing your head and becoming a grandson.

Changping Jun made up his mind and waited for an opportunity to ascend the throne with the help of Qin's power. Everything else would be decided after he had gained power.

As King You of Chu dispatched a large army to aid the battlefields of Qi and Wei, the chaotic war was finally coming to an end.

The people of Chu shared a common hatred for the Qi and Wei countries. Originally, the people of Chu did not want to fight a civil war, but someone actually took advantage of the situation to rob!
Don’t you even look at the current state of Wei and Qi? How dare you take the initiative to attack Chu?
Since ancient times, there is nothing more hateful than enemies taking advantage of others' misfortunes.

Especially the feudal lords of Chu State, who have always fought the hardest in defensive battles for the sake of their fiefdoms and the wealth of their families.

After freeing up his hands to concentrate on fighting the enemy, with the arrival of reinforcements, Hou Sheng of Qi decisively stopped the attack and retreated directly to defend the results of the battle.

Then he immediately sent an envoy to negotiate peace with Li Yuan.

Even Wei Yong, who was really angry, retreated without hesitation after the arrival of King You of Chu's reinforcements, facing the absolute disadvantage in military strength. He only defended the results of the battle and immediately sent envoys to negotiate peace.

After all, the current Wei Wu soldiers are not real Wei Wu soldiers, and the current Wei State cannot afford to support 80,000 Wei Wu soldiers. Wei Yong is not stupid, he just wants to vent his anger, and he can't fight to the death. Even if Wei Yong wants to fight to the death, the soldiers in the army don't want to.

After all, I'm just here to take advantage, not to risk my life.

Faced with the rogue behavior of Qi and Wei, it took King You of Chu a while to calm down. Even though he was extremely unwilling and angry, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

We cannot be reluctant, as the national mobilization cannot last too long. All males over the age of fifteen are mobilized, which is equivalent to almost stopping all production. Even if we fight to the death, this is not the way to go.

Since Qi and Wei had already stopped while they were ahead and sent envoys to negotiate peace, Chu had no choice but to back down.

You definitely can't fight with all your might.

After all, Qin is still nearby. The reason why Qin does not take action now is because the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. If Chu, Qi and Wei fight to the death, Qin will definitely take action at that time. This can be confirmed 100%.

After this chaotic battle, except for King You of Chu and the State of Chu, no one else suffered any loss.

Qi and Wei each captured several cities at a minimal cost.

As for Ying Zheng, provoking the Three Kingdoms to fight again was a win-win. Especially since the Chu Kingdom was once again damaged and suffered heavy losses. Now the Chu Kingdom has been seriously injured and its national strength has been greatly damaged after repeated major and minor injuries.

Moreover, King You of Chu's plan to suppress the rebellion, which was about to succeed, also failed completely. Not only did he fail to destroy Fu Chu, but he allowed Fu Chu to go further and completely took over both sides of the Yangtze River in Jinling. It can be said that Fu Chu only now has completely stabilized his foothold.

Faced with the well-defended and truly natural barrier of the Yangtze River, it was basically impossible for King You of Chu to cross the river as easily as he had done a few months ago.

What's more, this year we have mobilized more than 400,000 troops and spent countless money. We do not have the strength to raise another large army to quell the rebellion in a short period of time.

King You of Chu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he had to swallow his anger.

Then, Ying Zheng sent an envoy to explain King You of Chu's previous request for help.

Changping Jun also requested Qin to send troops to support Chu in resisting Qi and Wei. Qin's actions were to support Chu, but they did not expect the war to end so quickly before Qin could send troops.

If there is a next time, Daqin will definitely speed up the dispatch of troops! Daqin will never allow anyone to bully other countries at will!

Next time you encounter this kind of thing, feel free to call us and Daqin will definitely help you!
Ying Zheng's words "I will definitely do it next time" completely triggered the last bit of King You of Chu's patience. After returning to the palace from court, he vomited blood and became seriously ill due to anger.

As for Li Yuan, after forcing himself to stay awake and simply dealing with the aftermath, he immediately fell ill.

Li Yuan is already over sixty years old. He has been running around all the time and has experienced the bumpy military journey. He finally feels a little relieved, but he cannot help but fall down.

The king of a country and the prime minister are both ill in bed. Although the illness is not serious, it is just due to overwork. As long as they are well taken care of, they will recover soon.

However, this period of recuperation is the most precious time. The two sick people are unable to take care of Fu Chu with their heart, so they can only give Fu Chu more time to stabilize the situation more safely.

Everyone has a bright future, except King You of Chu.

This bright future may not last too long.

By the time the dust settled, it was already August of the fourteenth year of King Zheng of Qin.

In mid-autumn, the weather is cool, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and it is harvest time.

God has been merciful this year. Apart from man-made disasters, there have been no natural disasters in the world. It is a rare year of bumper harvest.

The Book of Shang says: "Three years of plenty, three years of scarcity. Six years of minor disaster, twelve years of major disaster."

Only by saving for several years in the years of bumper harvest can one withstand a year of disaster. Food is the most important thing at all times.

Natural disasters are terrible and can take lives. What’s even more terrible is that natural disasters are often accompanied by man-made disasters and can take the lives of entire families.

However, for Daqin, this year there are not only no natural disasters, but also no man-made disasters.

After all, it’s good enough that Ying Zheng doesn’t attack others now, and no one dares to touch the tiger’s whiskers of the Qin Dynasty.

The people of Han have been integrated into Daqin for several years, and their lives have been getting better and better since their lives went from hell to heaven.

Before, they were beaten every day, the domestic politics was corrupt, the king was incompetent, and the nobles were unjust.

Since entering the Qin Dynasty, they have never been beaten again. The overall ability and moral quality of the masters are much stronger than before, and they can live a down-to-earth life.

Now that they can work together to win credit in foreign wars, the people of Han have completely returned.

The states of Zhao and Yan also had a rare opportunity to truly experience what a peaceful world was like. There was no war, no endless exploitation, and everything was governed by rules. No matter whether they were nobles or commoners, even slaves, at least they could abide by Qin law.
