Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 279 Three Kingdoms Conquer Qin
In mid-May of the 18th year of Qin Wangzheng, Wei and Yan sent 18 troops to Chu.

Xiang Yan took command and set off, approaching Hangu Pass in Qin State.

Ying Zheng appointed Yang Duanhe as the commander, Meng Tian as the deputy commander, commanding 30 troops to assist Hangu.

In Wang Jian's residence.

Ying Yuan is staying with his mentor to discuss the current situation.

"In this battle, I, the Great Qin General, have dispatched all the generals that can be dispatched.

Although the coalition army claims to have 50 troops, in my opinion, it is no more than 40 at most, and we have the advantage of defending the city, so there is no need to worry, their army will cross Hangu Pass and point at Xianyang City. "

Wang Jian looked at the map situation around Hangu Pass, marked the movements of the Chu army one by one, and finally made a short summary.

In this war, Qin State faced great advantages.

"The students are not worried that Hangu Pass will be in danger, it's just that the intention of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms may not be as simple as it seems to us.

The teacher may wish to imagine that at the critical moment when the people of all countries thought that our Qin State could be defeated, it was no coincidence that Xiang Yan suddenly launched an attack. "

Ying Yuan said worriedly.

In order to deal with the state of Chu, Li Xin, Huan Yu, Zhang Han and others have all joined the battle, which can be regarded as an all-star lineup.

Therefore, there is no possibility of failure in this war.

The enemy army knew that it was very likely that they would not be able to capture Hangu, so why did they send troops resolutely?

I'm afraid that they want to make the people of the world hate Qin, so that the people of Zhao and Han can revolt together, so as to completely crush the ambition of Qin Dongchu.

Wang Jian said thoughtfully: "I don't know much about politics, but since you said it, we have to pay attention to it. Did you think about other aspects?"

Ying Yuan said: "The king has already reacted. Yang Xiong went to Julu County, Bendi went to Handan County, and Yingchuan County was guarded by Nei Shiteng himself. The three counties have a total of 15 troops. Even if there is trouble, If you think about it, you can suppress it with just brute force."

"How much do you know about Xiang Yan?" Wang Jian asked curiously.

In his life, he seldom fought against the Chu State, so he knew very little about the current situation of the generals of the Chu State.

However, he has a feeling that Xiang Yan will be the most powerful enemy in his life.

And this feeling is getting stronger.

Ying Yuan said bluntly: "Teacher, this man's military skills are not inferior to yours. If we fight against him in the future, we must be careful. This man may have some shortcomings in the art of war, but when it comes to deploying troops Array, in this world, few people can match."

In his heart, he said without hesitation that the Chu army's army formation could win the front line of Qin State.

"I've thought about the battle of Huanju for a long time, and I feel that their victory was not based on the art of war. Now, listening to what you said, it has cleared up the old man's confusion.

No matter what, this Xiang Yan, in the not-too-distant future, is likely to become a strong enemy for you and me. "

Since the deaths of Li Mu and Lian Po, Wang Jian often felt lonely, thinking that he had no rivals in this world.

But when Huanjuan was defeated, Xiang Yan gradually entered his mind and couldn't get rid of it.

Sometimes he thought that Xiang Yan would definitely be an extremely strong opponent.

Although this person has few records, but he can achieve the position of the general of the Chu State, which is definitely outstanding.

"Teacher, there is a question in the student's mind. Before the start of the war, the king clearly wanted you to lead the army. Why didn't you want to?"

In front of him, Ying Yuan always said something, without any shyness.

"Like you, the time has not yet come. When the time comes in the future, I will naturally come out of the mountain." Wang Jian responded with a smile.

In fact, in the eyes of the two of them, the invasion of Qin by the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms was not all a bad thing.

Because if the Qin army wiped out the main force of the enemy army in the area of ​​Hangu Pass, it would be like a tiger with wings added to unify all countries in the future.

After all, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, which claims to have an army of 50 troops, are the vital forces of all countries.

"Teacher, how many troops do you think will be needed to attack Chu in the future?" Ying Yuan asked.

Wang Jian pondered for a moment, then slowly said a number, "60."

After a pause, he continued: "And there must be 60 elites. Of course, you have to see how far the Hangu Pass battle will go. If this battle can destroy Chu's 20 troops, then, From now on, 40 will be enough to attack Chu.”

"What the teacher said coincides with the students."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

They all have a very strong feeling in their hearts, that is, with the current military power of Qin State, there is absolutely no problem in ruling the world.

It's just that this kind of thing is the first time in the world, and there are many unknown factors.

This is many times more difficult than those peasant uprisings in later generations, or the separation of the three kingdoms, and the rebellion against the violent Yuan.

After all, the background of each country cannot be underestimated. They have been entrenched in the place for many years and have a very profound culture. It is easy to occupy the land, but it is difficult to occupy the hearts of the people.

Liu Bang belonged to a big leak. After all, when he ruled the world, Qin State had almost wiped out the original culture of all countries.

Occupying people's hearts has become a natural thing.

In the camp of the Chu army.

Yan Dan, Wei Yong, and Xiang Yan were standing together.

The latter said to the two of them: "This war, from the beginning to the end, you must listen to my wishes, otherwise, once the battle is defeated, our vitality will be greatly injured. Wouldn't it be fueled by Qin Guodong's arrogance?"

Yan Dan responded softly: "I came here only to promote the Three Kingdoms Alliance. As for the specific matters of the expedition, I will not ask at all. After a few days, I will naturally leave Chu. , but leave it to the general.”

Wei Yong smiled wryly and said: "The army brought by the old man is not my personal army, so I have to ask about the specific details of the battle, but it will not be involved. The army under his command is at the disposal of the general."

Both of them admired Xiang Yan very much. After all, the other party defeated Qin's 20 troops and dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Qin army.

This is a very happy thing.

"You two, don't blame me for speaking the ugly words up front. The purpose of attacking Qin this time is not to capture Hangu Pass, but to cut off the connection between Han and Qin. At that time, our three kingdoms can carve up Han to their heart's content. As for the land of Zhao, it is so vast that it is difficult to attack."

In fact, the main reason is that Chu State is too far away from Zhao State.

Otherwise, Xiang Yan really wants to sever Zhao's land.

As for attacking the hinterland of Qin, he never thought about it.

"The general swears, I'll just wait and see." Yan Dan said.

"Yes, if we can carve up the land of Han, it will also have the effect of weakening Qin, it's just..."

After a pause, Wei Yong showed embarrassment, and continued to speak: "It's just how the general can see that Han is old and expensive, so how can he raise troops to support us?
You have to know that two or three years ago, there was a turmoil caused by noble families in Han, but in the end, it was suppressed by the Qin army, and the nobles were seriously injured.

Qin State ruled in Han for a long time, and gradually won the hearts of the people. At this time, those old nobles in Han dare to raise troops?I'm afraid that everyone will start to behave with their tails between their legs, right? "

Xiang Yan said with a smile: "Brother Wei's words are true, but in other words, after I defeated Huan Jue and Li Xin, the people of the world have gradually understood one thing, that is, the state of Qin is not Invincible.

The people of Han, I am afraid that they are already thinking about resisting the tyranny of the Qin State. If we give them enough benefits, just let them restrain the [-] army in the hands of Nei Shiteng, they will definitely step out to resist that step.

At that time, wouldn't it be nice for us to cut off the connection between Qin and Han, reap the benefits of the fisherman, and carve up Han? "

This time the attack on Qin State, the state of Chu publicized it with great fanfare, and even talked about the righteousness of the world and the righteousness of the family and the country, for fear that the common people would not know that the army under their command during their attack on Qin State this time was an army of justice.

However, the plan behind the scenes was extremely ugly.

In this regard, Qin Jun is a thousand times better than them.

When the Qin State mobilized troops, they never advertised whether they were benevolent or righteous, but every time they captured a city gate, they would take the initiative to treat the people in the city gate kindly, and would not commit acts of burning, killing and looting.

Unless the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, or even faced a defeat, perhaps the coach would risk beheading and let the soldiers go to have fun.

It's just that if you don't disturb the local people, don't disturb them.

Indiscriminate killing of innocent people is definitely not an option.

But the armies of various countries are different.

They all have massacred cities or abused people.

Say something ironic.

Xiang Yan has a descendant named Xiang Yu, who is the future overlord of Western Chu.

In order to resist the so-called tyranny of Qin, this person spread the innocence of Qin everywhere.

Later, after pulling up the team, under the banner of "killing the violent Qin", they slaughtered many innocent people in the city gates, and even became addicted to killing them later.

As long as a certain city gate cannot be attacked for a long time, after taking it down, he will definitely raise the butcher knife, and the people in a city will not be able to survive.

Even Liu Bang, who wrote the word "benevolence and righteousness" on his face, has done such things as massacring the city, and they are all innocent people!

It's just that the city gates he slaughtered were not as many as Xiang Yu's.

What is the difference between the act of massacring the city and the behavior of the little Japanese invaders after they captured Japan?

However, Ying Zheng, who is said to be a tyrant by the world, has never slaughtered a city, or even killed a commoner indiscriminately. He has always had a basis for killing people.

As the saying goes, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

At that time, j's troops had a lot of American equipment, didn't they also lose to Taizu?

It is because Taizu won the hearts of the people.

In other words, the reason why Yingzheng was able to win the world was actually due to the fact that he won the hearts of the people.

In this way, Ying Zheng is much more upright than Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

At least he didn't slaughter the city, but it's a pity that he was called a tyrant by the history books of the Han family.

There is a high probability that Xiang Yu lost the world because he lost the hearts of the people.

Most of the reasons why Liu Bang ruled the world were because he was eloquent and inspiring, but he also did the massacre of the city behind his back.

Liu Bang, the king of benevolence and righteousness, slaughtered across the city, and was called the tyrant's Yingzheng by the world, but he never did such a thing. Put the two together and compare them to judge.
