Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

"kill!"

In Pingyang City on the lower reaches of the Zhang River, the Qin army's shouts of killing shook the sky. Flags were flying on the battlefield and drums were beating. The soldiers of the Qin army rushed towards the Zhao army feverishly, turning the people killed by the Zhao army on their backs.

The eyes of these Qin soldiers is full of desire for killing and war. Seeing this group of exhausted Zhao troops is simply seeing their own merits.

Qin State military merit awards, as long as you can kill an enemy, you can get fertile land. If If you can kill a few more people, you will immediately have a higher title in the army, be rewarded with more gold and silver, and even become an officer.

In this era when the slavery system has not been completely abandoned and the people at the bottom have almost no land, when the Qin State is willing to When the land was handed over from the nobles to ordinary people, the impact on the people at the bottom was unimaginable. That's why

Ying Weicai said that in this era, if you ask the Qin people to study, they will definitely not be willing, but if you ask them to serve as soldiers and go to the battlefield to kill The enemy will definitely charge up one by one.

At least until the entire Qin State is tired of war, this emotion will not disappear.

Although the Qin State's 300,000 troops are close to Handan, facing Zhanghe and Zhao State Despite the desperate fighting of 200,000 defenders, it was difficult for these 300,000 troops to cross the river.

Wang Jian always led the army in a steady and steady manner. He liked to use national power to kill the opponent forcefully and would never make risky moves.

Therefore, in the Warring States Period, Among the four famous generals, Wang Jian's ability has always been criticized, because although he led his army to destroy several countries, it was mainly because of the strong national power of Qin.

If Wang Jian were to change a country, his safe fighting style would be fine. But the progress is not enough.

But I have to say that God bless the Qin Dynasty. Today’s Qin State actually does not need those generals who are full of ingenious strategies. What it needs most is a steady general like Wang Jian. When Wang

Jian saw that Zhao State was well-defended, the northern army he led was They stood still and waited for the opportunity.

The central army led by Huanjie was ready to move. After writing to Xianyang and asking Li Xin to discuss it, the two finally decided to join forces and move the central and southern armies to the lower reaches of the Zhanghe River. , completed crossing the river, and approached Pingyang.

In fact, Li Xin was unwilling, because if he joined forces, he would lose power. Everyone has their own small thoughts, and no one is a true saint.

But in the war Li Xin also knew that hesitation would lead to defeat, so he finally agreed to the proposal.

The central and southern armies, totaling 150,000 Qin troops, crossed the river in a mighty manner. General Zhao saw that the Qin army actually wanted to steal his ass, so he led ten Wan Zhaojun personally came to Pingyang to rush for reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, the Qin army did not attack Pingyang at all. Instead, they waited for work and surrounded the points for reinforcements. When Hu Sui led 100,000 Zhao troops to Pingyang, they were ambushed by the Qin army. In this battle, everyone was killed. Rivers of blood flowed and corpses were piled high. The Battle of Pingyang ended a few days later. All the 100,000 Zhao troops led by Hu Zhu were beheaded, and Hu Zhu himself also died in the battle.

This is why the Qin army was frightened by the world. The reason why people all over the world say that the Qin State is tyrannical is that the Qin State confers titles for military merit, saves food and grass, and does not treat prisoners favorably. The Qin army prefers to cut off the enemy's heads, and then exchange them for their own merits and land..

In this battle, the strength of Zhao's defenders was severely damaged. The remaining 100,000 troops were unable to resist the Qin army's momentum, and Handan was in danger.

Huanjue laughed loudly on the battlefield, pointing at the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood:"General Li , you and I have made great contributions in this battle!"

Li Xin smiled. He was just the deputy general of this army. If he had any great achievements, it would be Huan Jue's and it had nothing to do with him.

Of course Huan Jue knew this, so he said to Li Xin:"General, at this time we We should go all out to push into Handan. If the city of Handan is destroyed and the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, then both me and the general will have the merit of being granted the title of Marquis!"

Huan Yan encouraged Li Xin and asked him to move forward with himself.

Li Xin thought of the secret message sent by Chang'an Lord, and he refused:"Xianyang sent information saying that Zhao State has sued for peace with Yan State, and the border between Yan and Zhao The Zhao army is about to return"

"At this time, we have achieved great results, so we should proceed steadily and not make rash advances."

Li Xin both privately and publicly believes that this decision is correct.

In terms of selfishness, if he continues to join forces to attack at this time, he will soon lose his power to command troops. Of course Li Xin does not want to.

Li Xin also feels that publicly , we should not attack rashly at this time. If Zhao is really so easy to win, why did Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, arrive at Handan City? When the King of Qin asked for the destruction of Zhao, he claimed that he was ill and refused to go?

If he was greedy for power and advanced rashly, there would be a crisis.

See you General Wang Jian in the north, even if the Qin State beheaded 100,000 Zhao troops, he still stood still after such a huge victory.

This is the old general!

Huan Jue was unhappy when he heard this, and said:"The general is out there, and the military order is different. Accept, if the opportunity is delayed at this time, it will be your fault, General Li. The two finally broke up unhappy.

Li Xin returned to his army, and his adjutant whispered angrily:"Huan Jue is so rude. Isn't it just that he won a victory? He is so arrogant.""

"Even General Wang Jian didn't think this was the time to march."

Li Xin raised his hand to signal the adjutant not to say more. At this time, he took out a secret letter, which was the document given to him by Ying Wei. It said that Li Xin should stay put after taking Pingyang, and not attack at will, but first defend Zhang. He will wait for reinforcements and food and supplies to arrive.

Of course, Ying Wei will not engage in micro-management. He also gave Li Xin the power to act expediently, depending on the situation whether to send troops or defend.

Li Xin also He is a military expert. After careful consideration, he finally chose to stand still.

The hatred between Qin and Zhao has been growing for a long time. If he threatens Handan at this time, they will go crazy when the army from the Yan-Zhao border comes back.

And after crossing the Zhang River , the battle line is stretched longer. If the army cannot capture Handan in one fell swoop at this time, then this part of the army will be cannibalized by the Zhao army.

This kind of decision is extremely risky, unless there is no way to retreat, and you must fight to the death. Fight, otherwise no general would be willing to choose.

Li Xin stood still. Seeing that Li Xin was so cowardly, Huan Jue cursed and led his troops to attack. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If he can capture Zhao Guo , he is the number one general in Qin!

……

In Handan City, in the palace of King Zhao, the potbellied King Qian of Zhao sat on a soft couch and asked anxiously and fearfully:"Hu Zou mistakenly made me fall into an ambush of Qin, and my one hundred thousand army was wiped out.""

"My dear friends, who else can lead the army at this time?"

Many eyes were looking at Sima Shang in the hall at this time. This man was considered the most capable person in Zhao State at this time.

Sima Shang calmly stepped forward and shouted to the king, saying:"Your Majesty, don't worry, Yan State has already We are seeking peace with Zhao State, and the 300,000 troops on the Yan-Zhao border are returning to aid Handan."

"With this army of 300,000, it is absolutely impossible for Qin to defeat Handan."

"However, this 300,000-strong army also needs a qualified commander. I urge the king to transfer General Li, who is stationed at the border, back to Handan."

"At this time, only General Li can save our Zhao country!"

Sima Shang and Li Mu have a very good relationship in private, but Li Mu's personality has always been disliked by the superiors, and he is not reused despite his ability.

However, Zhao Wangqian is different from his father, and he doesn't care about Li Mu that much now. At this time, my heart is already moved.
