With such a battlefield, the weakened South Korea and Wei State each regained a mouthful of blood.
Qin's territory expanded outward.
After the war.
The entire Central Plains once again fell into a brief period of tranquility and peace.
However, compared with South Korea and Wei's generals and soldiers' losses in battle, Qin's loss of its famous general Meng Ao was not worth the gain.
Mainly because Qin State encountered the main force of Chu State.
Moreover, the main force was personally led by Xiang Yan, Lord Wu'an of Chu State, so the combat effectiveness of the troops' formation was naturally different.
But compared with Qi, it is much better.
…
…
In late April of the same year.
Lu Buwei, the Wenxin Hou, saw that the general he had single-handedly promoted was killed in battle and lost his military power and influence.
His own power was greatly damaged.
We also see that the power of Lady Xiuli Ji Ni is intertwined and growing, and she has formed an independent system of her own. She is entrenched at home and abroad in Qin, and she is eyeing her.
He couldn't help but feel worried about his future.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Buwei came up with a brilliant plan.
Take the fire out of the cauldron!
Immediately he set off to the palace of the King of Qin to meet King Zhuangxiang of Qin and give him advice.
"Report to your Majesty!"
"I believe that it is time to bring back my wife Zhao Ji and Young Master Zheng from Handan of the State of Zhao."
"Moreover, I sincerely request the king to grant the title of wife Zhao Ji as the queen and the son Zheng as the prince. This will show that the king does not forget his old friends and demonstrates the king's affection and righteousness."
"At that time, we will secretly promote it and spread the king's virtues and virtues to other countries. This will attract more outstanding talents to the Qin State and make the Qin State stronger and stronger."
"When the time comes, it will be just around the corner for the Qin State to achieve its hegemony of unifying the Central Plains."
King Qin Zhuangxiang thought carefully for a moment and agreed with this statement.
He nodded slightly.
"This is a great thing to say!"
…
…
In May of the same year.
General Wang Lu was ordered by the king to lead troops to suppress the Zhao State as a deterrent.
In addition, a group of Qin envoys entered Zhao.
After some lobbying, King Zhao took the initiative to escort his wife Zhao Ji and Gong Zizheng, who were hiding, to leave Handan, the capital of Zhao, and return to Qin.
The Qin army immediately withdrew together.
…
…
In early June of the same year.
When the chamberlains around King Zhuangxiang of Qin were discussing government affairs in the palace of Qin, in front of many civil and military officials, they loudly recited the will of King Zhuangxiang of Qin.
Make your wife Zhao Ji the queen.
Make the young master Zhao Zheng the crown prince.
Lady Xiuli Ji Ni then understood that she had lost this power struggle in the palace.
And it failed too quickly.
However, Lady Soo-ryeo was born in the Korean royal family. As the biological daughter of King Han Huanhui, she was a Korean princess.
It was Mrs. Huayang who made the decision and was married by Qin Zhuangxiang King Ming Matchmaker.
Naturally, she was not willing to fail like this.
As a former Korean princess, Lady Soo-ryeo naturally understands how tragic and miserable the outcome will be once a power struggle is involved and the struggle fails.
Completely reduced to a piece of fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others.
There is no resistance whatsoever.
"I want to live well."
"In a power struggle, you can only win, never lose."
Thinking about it for a long time.
Mrs. Xiuli personally took up the pen and wrote a secret letter, then sealed it and gave it to her confidant.
He was ordered to hand the letter to his father, King Han Huanhui.
Immediately afterwards, Lady Xiuli secretly summoned her son Chang'an Junchengjiao.
Give some careful instructions.
…
…
In late June of the same year.
Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, who had been demoted to the second son of Prince Zhuangxiang of Qin, under the secret instructions of his mother, Lady Xiuli, went on a mission to Korea alone with a few guards.
In early July of the same year.
The young Jun Chengjiao of Chang'an arrived at Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, and met with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of South Korea, King Huan Hui of Han and others inside the South Korean palace.
Experienced a rather fierce war of words.
In the end, King Huanhui of Han personally ceded the territory of hundreds of miles of South Korea to the hands of Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, who sent it to Qin.
Cheng Jiao then returned to Qin with great glory and great achievements in opening up new territories.
His mother, Mrs. Xiuli, immediately mobilized the speeches prepared in advance to build momentum and promote her son Chang'an Junchengjiao's talent and reputation.
I want to imitate and reproduce the process of King Zhuangxiang of Qin ascending to the throne of King Qin.
In a short period of time.
The name of Chang'an Jun Chengjiao has already spread throughout the world. His outstanding talents and talents are much higher than those of Gongzi Zheng who was just canonized as the prince.
At this time, Zhao Zheng's qualifications were still relatively young. He had just returned to Qin and had not yet shown any talents.
Only Wen Xin Hou Lu Buwei and Queen Zhao Ji supported him.
Under the inner and outer manipulations of Lady Xiuli, more and more civil and military ministers fell in love with Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, either openly or covertly.
The forces under Cheng Jiao's command have become more and more powerful and terrifying.
King Zhuangxiang of Qin had been a hostage in the State of Zhao since he was a child and was not taken seriously. His life was extremely difficult and difficult, which made him weak and sickly since he was a child.
And when they grow up, they will have few heirs.
This situation further secretly promoted the overt and covert struggle between Prince Zhao Zheng and Chang'an Jun Chengjiao.
…
…
October has passed and the next year will begin.
King Zhuangxiang of Qin appointed General Wang Lu as the chief general and Bi as deputy general to lead the troops in battle and attack the Wei State, in order to suppress and weaken the Wei soldiers who showed signs of rising.
I am afraid that I will give it too long and let the soldiers of Wei recuperate and rise again.
Reproduce the terrible war that nearly destroyed the Qin State.
However, at this time, the total number of Wei's military soldiers, old and new, was only more than 30,000, and most of them were semi-finished products. The regional population obtained from Chu has not yet been fully digested.
When he was in a hurry, he faced Qin's 250,000 warriors, and he showed no signs of slacking off.
Jin Wen, the great general of Wei State, was secretly poisoned and almost died. He was ill for a long time and found it difficult to take on a major position.
In times of crisis.
King Anli of Wei temporarily put aside his fear, reconciled with Lord Xinling, and personally appointed Lord Xinling Wei Wuji as the general of Wei.
He was ordered to command the troops of Wei and resist Qin.
Wei Wuji did his duty and was appointed as the general of Wei.
However, he knew in his heart that today's Wei warriors were by no means comparable to the Wei warriors of the past, and the gap in battlefield fighting capabilities was too large.
Lord Xinling immediately mobilized his troops and generals to use the soldiers of Wei to resist the warriors of Qin.
At the same time, five envoys were dispatched to Chu, Zhao, Yan, Han, and Qi to lobby for help and fight against Qin.
When the kings of the various vassal states learned of this battle, Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, served as the general of Wei.
Because they admired Wei Wuji personally and had the experience of fighting Qin's warriors last time, they immediately sent troops to rescue Wei.
Except Qi State, which was deeply influenced by Confucianism, explicitly rejected it.
He knows how to protect himself wisely.
As a result, Wei Wuji, the general of Wei and Lord Xinling, personally commanded the five-nation coalition forces of Wei, Chu, Zhao, Yan and South Korea.
Fighting with the warriors of the Qin State, they launched a battle beyond the river.
Big and small battles followed one after another, and the fighting lasted for several months.
In the end, the Qin general Wang He was defeated by Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling. The five-nation allied forces took advantage of the victory and pursued it, ending outside Hangu Pass.
