At the end of the Warring States Period, peace was only temporary, and war was the main theme. Even if the Qin State did not take action, there would be a lot of friction between the six countries. In addition, the wolf tribe in the north invaded the border, and the Baiyue in the south provoked trouble, and small-scale
The conflict never stops.
On February 20th, the State of Qin suddenly launched a war to attack the State of Zhao. The reason was that the State of Zhao conspired with the Duke of Eastern Zhou to attack the State of Qin.
Just last year, the Duke of Eastern Zhou conspired with the princes to attack Qin, but the Qin State knew about it in advance. Taking advantage of the fact that the Duke of Eastern Zhou and the princes did not reach an agreement, he sent troops to attack Qin. Qin attacked first and Lü Buwei led the army to attack. However, the princes did not save him, and Luoyang fell.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty fell.
Although the Eastern Zhou Dynasty perished, the Qin State did not do so. It moved the Duke of Eastern Zhou Dynasty to Yangren and worshiped him, so that the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty would not lose their incense.
In less than half a month, Meng Ao led the Qin army with overwhelming force and captured thirty-seven cities including Taiyuan, Yuci, Xincheng, and Langmeng.
In early April, Meng Ao led his army south to attack Wei. The reason was that Wei conspired with the Duke of Eastern Zhou to attack Qin. Although Wei was fully prepared, Qin still captured Gaodu and Ji.
A city.
Just when the Qin army was in a stalemate with the Wei army, another Qin army, led by Wang Lu, set out from Pingyang, passed through the western and northern parts of the Shangdang army, divided into two groups, and attacked the eastern part of Shangdang County.
The northern and western parts of Shangdang County were taken over during the Battle of Changping during the reign of King Zhaoxiang, and Taiyuan County was initially established.
Shangdang County is a strategic location for South Korea. Once all Shangdang County is lost, South Korea will be at an absolute strategic disadvantage. At that time, Qin can attack South Korea from any point in the west, north, and south.
The territory of South Korea was encroached a lot by the Qin State. Except for Shangdang County, the rest of the country was basically a plain with no danger to defend. If the last strategically important land was lost, South Korea would completely become a piece of meat on the lips of the Qin State.
Eat whenever you want...
The King of Han at this time was not Han Fei's father. He had to wait until 239 BC for King An of Han to ascend the throne with his military exploits in Baiyue. The King of Han at this time was Han Fei's grandfather, King Han Henghui Han Ran.
Although the king's title was good, Han Ran was not a wise king. During his reign, the politics were chaotic, laws and decrees were inconsistent, and the officials and the people were at a loss. He continued to implement the centralized autocratic monarchy system advocated by Shen Buhai, advocating "
"Skills" govern the country, but the scriptures are distorted.
The "skills" that Shen Buhai talks about mainly refer to the king's methods of appointing, supervising, and evaluating his subordinates, which gradually turned into power tactics.
Since then, power play has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in South Korea, and everyone is playing power play from top to bottom. Even if South Korea is already in danger, Han Wangan, Kaifangdi, Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei and others are still playing power play, fighting for power and profit, and fighting among themselves.
Although Han Ran was not a wise king, he also understood deeply that the last piece of Shangdang could not be lost, so he mobilized the whole country to resist with all his strength. However, the Qin army advanced too fast, and before reinforcements arrived, the western part of Shangdang had already fallen into the hands of Qin.
.
Although the southern part of Shangdang County is still in the hands of South Korea, the terrain of Shangdang County is generally higher in the north and higher in the south. Facing the three-sided siege of the Qin army, its fall is only a matter of time. It can be said that the situation is over.
Qin's three consecutive blows made Han, Wei and Zhao dizzy. Chu Yan was frightened, and Qi further strengthened its diplomatic strategy of making good friends with Qin.
After taking such a big advantage, Qin still had no intention of stopping and continued to attack, greedily wanting to seize greater results. This made the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei extremely angry and looked down upon, right?
Han and Zhao immediately sent envoys to Daliang of the Wei State. While expressing their feelings and reasoning, they also put pressure on the King of Wei and requested that Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, be appointed.
Wei Wangyu (yu) was forced by the pressure from South Korea and Zhao, the pressure within the Wei State, and the pressure from the Qin State. After some thought, he agreed to the requests of the two countries and sent people to the Zhao State to pick up Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, back to his country.
Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, did not dare to return to the Kingdom of Wei because of "stealing the talisman to save Zhao". He was afraid that King Wei would liquidate him, so he stayed in the Kingdom of Zhao. He received warm hospitality from the noble officials headed by King Zhao and Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng, Pingyuan Lord of Zhao State, and Xinling Lord were both one of the four princes of the Warring States Period. They were relatives. Xinling Lord's sister was Zhao Sheng's wife.
The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei had frequent marriages. When it comes to relationships, they are all related by kinship.
…
The movements of the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan and Chu are all under the surveillance of the Qin State. Especially now, Han, Zhao and Wei are the key targets of the net. Although the three countries have made their best efforts to keep it secret, the net still caught the clues.
The information was quickly delivered to Cheng Qiao. After reading the information, he immediately sent a copy to Lu Buwei and Ying Zichu.
Cheng Qiao put down the information and came to the window with his hands behind his back, dazed in a daze.
Lord Xinling of Wei is the well-deserved leader of the four princes of the Warring States Period. Even Lord Pingyuan of Zhao, Lord Chun Shen of Chu, and Lord Mengchang of Qi are not on the same level as Lord Xinling, and their achievements are far inferior to Lord Xinling.
Not to mention other aspects, in terms of military affairs, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji is definitely a handsome man. There is more than one handsome man among the Six Kingdoms, but the one who has the prestige to unite the military strength of the Six Kingdoms is none other than Lord Xinling.
In the Six Kingdoms, Li Mu, Lian Po, Pang Nuan, Xiang Yan, etc. are far inferior to Xinling Lord, and they are unable to effectively integrate the coalition forces. This is why Meng Ao was defeated by Xinling Lord Wei Wuji north of the Yellow River in history. important factors.
The coalition forces have formed a rope, and the Qin army has to avoid the edge temporarily. It is best not to be aggressive, otherwise the gain will not be worth the loss.
According to his idea, he wanted to avoid the sharp edge temporarily. Even if he spit out the swallowed land, it didn't matter. Those lands and cities were only temporarily kept by the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei.
Save the land and lose the people, everyone and the land will be lost. Save the people and lose the land, everyone and the land will survive!
This is his war philosophy.
But it is very difficult to operate. He is too young to express his opinion on this kind of matter. If he does say it, he will probably be treated as child's play. Will military and national affairs be handled according to his child's ideas?
Even if his father agrees, he may not be able to convince the civil and military officials. At this time, the Qin army has not yet been defeated. It is extremely energetic and has the courage to regard the armies of the six countries as chickens and dogs. It is confident and extremely confident!
Everyone in the Qin State believed that asking his father to go against the general trend and forcefully issue royal orders would do too much damage to his father's prestige.
Even if his father agrees, he probably won't actually do it, and there is a high probability that his father will not agree.
Since it is impossible to change the minds of the Qin State, then point the finger at the other side and gather elite forces to directly kill Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling!
Appreciation is appreciation, but the stance is different. Cheng Qiao will not sit back and watch the Qin army be defeated by the five-nation coalition led by Wei Wuji!
As long as Wei Wuji is killed and the five-nation coalition cannot effectively integrate, then the Qin army will most likely win.
If Wei Wuji was lucky and did not die, then he must find a way to reduce losses.
The Qin army can be defeated and the land can be lost, but it cannot be defeated as badly as in history. Most of the Qin army led by Meng Ao must be saved.
Being too confident turns into arrogance, and it is not unacceptable to use a small defeat to sound the alarm for Qin...
Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, I have admired your name for a long time. Are you ready to receive the surprise for you?
Cheng Qiao smiled meaningfully, then turned around and left the palace, heading straight to Yong Temple.
If he, the young master of the Qin Kingdom, wants to leave the Qin Kingdom, he must say hello. In order to ensure the success rate of the attack, he must also obtain the support of his father and the king!
