By the time all three envoys returned to Xianyang, King Qin Ji was almost furious with them.
No one has completed the task. Is it because our Qin country has such a bad reputation or because your skills are not good enough?
"You bunch of trash. Get out. Get out. Get away. Get away." Qin Wangji roared angrily, with the anger flashing in his eyes, he wished he could demote all three of them to ministers.
Fan Ju quickly waved his hand, signaling the three of them to retreat first, as long as he was there.
The three of them glanced at Fan Ju gratefully and left the hall in fear.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This incident was already expected, so why should you be angry?" Fan Ju bowed and advised.
"Now that things have come to a point, we have no choice but to withdraw our troops." Qin Wangji was a little unwilling. He wanted to open up a road for his children and grandchildren, but he could not gamble on an unwinnable war with the fate of Qin.
"I am afraid that in my lifetime, I will never see the day when Qin Guodong comes out." Qin Wangji sighed, his eyes full of loneliness.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan to make Qi State send troops." Fan Ju stroked his mustache, with a bit of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
He originally didn't want to use such an immoral strategy, but...Qin Wangji is more important to him. He has assisted Qin Wangji for so long, and the two of them are both kings and friends. Now Qin Wangji is very old, and he may pass away when.
He didn't want Qin Wangji to leave with regrets.
For the kindness of knowing and meeting, and for the hegemony of the Qin State, even if it takes some infamy, it will not be hesitated.
"Prime Minister, please tell me." Qin Wangji was overjoyed. Fan Ju had never let him down.
"Your Majesty... As long as this is the case, King Zhao is young and energetic, and he values the people of his country very much. If this happens, he will definitely send troops to fight against Qi. At this time, Qi will not be able to send troops even if it is not possible. As long as Zhao and Qi go to war,
The pressure on our country of Qin will be greatly reduced." Fan Ju said slowly.
"This plan is very clever. If it can be used against Yan and Chu..." Qin Wangji said.
"Your Majesty, if you use the same strategy twice, the clues will appear." Fan Ju said.
"I listen to the Prime Minister." Qin Wangji nodded.
"The conflict between the State of Yan and the State of Zhao is deep, but they dare not provoke the State of Zhao due to their own strength. We need to give the State of Yan some confidence. After the State of Qi sends troops, our State of Qin can send a partial army to the east of Hedong to help the State of Zhao.
and some pressure from Wei. With the support of Qi and our country, it is not difficult to convince Yan."
Fan Ju tried hard to think about how he could drag Chu into trouble.
But in the end I still didn't think of any good solution.
Chu State and Zhao State are not bordering each other. The two countries have always been in harmony with each other, so it is difficult to provoke conflicts between the two countries.
But with the help of Yan and Qi, it doesn't matter whether Chu is there or not.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Changes may occur on the front line at any time. The Prime Minister will arrange for people to do it immediately." Qin Wangji ordered.
…
"All the scouts dispersed. If they found a small group of Qin troops, they would immediately destroy them. If they found a large group of Qin troops, they would immediately come back and report."
The troops were extremely fast. Before the army set off, Le Cheng led six thousand Youyun cavalry to the front line without daring to rest for a moment.
Le Cheng had only one goal, to seize the Han Great Wall defense line before the Qin army could react.
The Great Wall of Han is a Great Wall built by South Korea a hundred years ago to defend the Kingdom of Wei. It extends from the Yellow River to the southeast to Yangwu, and then to the southwest to the Xinmiguci Mountain.
Although it has been in disrepair for a long time and many sections have been dilapidated or even collapsed, it will still cause considerable obstacles to the Zhao army, which is mostly composed of cavalry.
If the Qin army repaired the Great Wall of Han and relied on the Great Wall to defend it, the Zhao army would have to pay a heavy price if it wanted to defeat the Qin army.
As a famous general in the world, Le Yi knew the front line very well even if he had not set off yet. He tried his best to eliminate the enemy's advantages and use all available forces to tilt the scale of victory towards Zhao Kingdom bit by bit.
"General, no trace of the Qin army has been found." Soon, the scout came back to report.
"Okay!" Le Cheng's eyes lit up. It seemed that the Qin army had not yet thought of using the Great Wall to defend the Zhao army.
No, it should be that the Qin army has not received the news that Zhao army has arrived on the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Le Cheng had a crazy idea in his mind, and then it started to grow wildly like weeds and could no longer be contained.
Le Cheng took out the map from his horse bag and read it carefully.
"General, did you find anything?" Li Si walked over.
He cooperated very well with Le Cheng last time, and after Le Cheng took over as the vanguard this time, he also volunteered to follow.
"I'm wondering how many people there are in the Qin army, who is the leader, and where is the base camp," Le Cheng said.
It can be said that Zhao Jun's eyes are dark now. Apart from knowing that the Qin army is not a small number and that the general's surname is Wang, he knows nothing else.
Wei and South Korea were defeated before they could fully investigate the Qin army's situation, and it was even more impossible for Qin to tell Zhao their detailed information.
All this must be obtained by Zhao Jun himself.
"This is not easy to handle. Just ask the locals. Even if they don't know where the Qin Army's base camp is, they definitely know where the Qin Army is. Let's go over and capture a few tongues and interrogate them." Li Si said.
What the soldiers at the bottom know may not be accurate, but it won't be too different, and who the coach is will definitely know, unless the Qin army deliberately conceals it.
There are many generals named Wang in the Qin State, but there are only three people who are qualified to raise flags. Wang Lu, Wang Ling, Wang Jian, and the commander of Xingyang must be one of the three.
"That's fine." Le Cheng nodded and continued to move forward with Zhao Jun.
After crossing the Great Wall of Han, they entered the Qin Army's sphere of influence. They could encounter the Qin Army at any time, so the Zhao Army slowed down and was ready to fight at any time.
I don't know whether to say that Zhao Jun was very lucky or very unlucky. He didn't meet Qin Jun or the common people along the way.
"Why is there no one there?" Le Cheng said strangely. This is a densely populated area. Even if we run away during a war, we shouldn't run away so cleanly.
"General, general... Jingguan has been spotted ahead." At this moment, a scout rushed over in a hurry.
"What did you say?" Le Cheng didn't hear clearly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Beijing...jingguan!"
"Take me there." Le Cheng's face darkened, and he subconsciously clenched the weapon with his right hand, and a fierce aura emanated from his body.
Soon, Zhao Jun came to a huge mountain. However, this mountain was not made of stones, but of corpses.
Layers of corpses piled up together, like a huge pyramid, standing beside the Yellow River.
From far away, Zhao Jun could feel the cold air.
Zhao Jun could face thousands of troops on the battlefield without changing his expression. At this moment, his face was moved.
"This... I'm afraid there must be tens of thousands of people." Li Si took a breath, feeling that his young heart was greatly shocked.
"The Qin army...are all a bunch of beasts." Le Cheng said through gritted teeth.
Countries in the world have been fighting for hundreds of years and killed countless people. No one can say that anyone is kind, but there is really no one like Qin who kills prisoners and builds capitals.
Even when facing barbarians, no country has ever used such cruel and inhumane methods.
"I'm afraid I know why I haven't met anyone along the way..." Li Si said slowly.
"You mean, these corpses..." Le Cheng looked at Li Si suddenly, his eyes were blood red. He needed a definite answer now.
"South Korea did not have a war with Qin here, and this was originally a densely populated place, but we did not encounter a single person... There is only one possibility for these corpses, and that is civilians." Li Si said slowly.
"General, a large number of children were found around Jingguan, and the bodies of women were buried." The scout's words confirmed Li Si's guess.
The corpses of children and women are not eligible to be built as temples in Beijing and will only be discarded aside.
"I want to kill all these Qin troops." Le Cheng shouted angrily, feeling a ball of anger burning in his chest.
If these corpses belonged to soldiers, he would have some understanding, but if these corpses belonged to ordinary civilians, then he would only be angry.
"Then I'm afraid you won't be able to kill them all. I estimate that most of the Qin army has done this kind of thing. Qin was founded on military merit, and you can get a first-level title by beheading a head. In a war, even if you kill all the enemies
The merits are not enough for everyone to share, so what should I do? I can only kill the good and take the credit. Anyway, the monarch cannot go to the battlefield to see it in person. Moreover, even if he goes to the battlefield, it is impossible to tell which of these heads is a soldier.
Which one is a civilian?" Li Si said.
"Won't those generals stop it?" Le Cheng asked.
"Both top and bottom can benefit. As long as it's not excessive, why stop it? Besides, how do you know it wasn't the general who took the lead? The general needs the head more than those ordinary soldiers." Li Si glanced at Le Cheng.
Never think that generals are good people. The higher they are, the less good they are.
It is impossible for good people to climb so high.
The moral bottom line of these people often refreshes the understanding of ordinary people.
Li Si did not say a word. The Zhao State was also founded through military merit. There had been no major wars before. Everyone was not familiar with the use of heads as evidence of military merit. If this loophole was not discovered, there would be no such thing as killing good people and taking credit for merit.
But as time goes by, there are always some smart people who find that killing civilians can quickly accumulate merit without any danger.
By that time, Zhao will become the same devil as Qin.
Morally, Zhao people are not nobler than Qin people.
"We must find a way to prevent this from happening." Li Si thought in his mind, and then felt deeply powerless.
This matter is not so easy to solve. In order to prevent the killing of good people and taking merit, the Qin State required that the heads of the soldiers be cut below the throat to prevent soldiers from cutting the heads of women and children as military merit.
Special personnel will also be arranged to inspect the heads.
Let soldiers in the same unit supervise each other. If one person kills a good person and takes credit for it, the whole unit will be implicated.
But even so, it cannot prevent the killing of good people and taking advantage of merit.
As long as there is benefit, someone will try.
Especially when some generals take the lead in killing good people and taking credit, there is no way to stop them.
Unless the first level is cancelled.
But this is even more impossible.
Compared with the small flaw of killing good people and claiming merit, the powerful combat power brought by the military merit system is something that no country can give up.
No country will abandon the military merit system just because it kills good people and takes credit for it.
"I can't help it anymore. I want to kill Qin Jun. Can you help me?" Le Cheng interrupted Li Si's thoughts.
"I suggest you wait and see. We don't know where the Qin army is, nor how many people there are, nor who the leader of the Qin army is." Li Si said. Although he is young, he is calmer than Le Cheng.
.
"General, there is a Qin army charging towards us ten miles away." At this time, a scout came over and said with his fists clasped.
"I'm here just in time. All officers and men, follow me to kill the enemy." Le Cheng couldn't wait any longer.
"kill!"
All the soldiers followed Le Cheng and rushed forward.
The angry Le Cheng directly activated the blast formation, and at the same time stimulated his talent to the extreme. The Youyun Iron Cavalry was instantly covered by blue-red war clouds, and its slow speed gradually increased.
Li Si had no choice but to use his talents to relieve Le Cheng's pressure.
Soon, Zhao Jun and Qin Jun encountered each other.
The Qin army was also a cavalry force, with only half the number of the Zhao army. After seeing the Zhao army, they were stunned for a moment, and then fled to the side without saying a word.
"Kill! Leave no one behind!" Le Cheng roared, and quickly chased after him. The horse's hooves were raised high, and the horse's spear was slammed forward. Anyone who touched the Qin army was instantly left with only blood and mud.
The dark Zhao army followed closely behind Le Cheng and rushed towards the Qin army like a mudslide, instantly swamping the Qin army.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Zhao Jun allowed the Qin Army's attack to fall on him. Under the influence of the force field distortion and eggshell defense, not only did it not cause any damage, but it gave Zhao Jun confidence and gave them a clear understanding of their own defense capabilities.
Zhao Jun completely gave up on defense and just desperately performed one action: waving his horse forward. The huge inertia was enough to crush all enemies.
"Stay alive. Leave two alive." Li Si was afraid that Le Cheng wouldn't hear, so he shouted with all his strength.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Death... huh?" Le Cheng swung his horse to hit the enemy general's chest. He suddenly heard Li Si's voice and quickly deflected the horse in his hand.
At an angle, it hit the enemy general's left arm, and the entire left arm flew out instantly along with a large piece of flesh and blood.
"Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor?" Le Cheng shouted hurriedly.
"I'm behind, I'm behind." A weak voice came from behind.
"Save him." Le Cheng threw the Qin army commander to the army doctor.
"General... I really can't do this." The army doctor looked at the Qin army general with half of his body gone. Although his heart could be seen beating through the bones, it was obvious that he could not be saved based on his medical skills.
Alive.
"There's no need to actually revive him, just half an hour is enough. We need to ask for some information," Li Si said.
"This is easy to handle." The army doctor breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to the Qin army general, rolled up his sleeves, and slapped him twice.
The Qin army general slowly opened his eyes.
"You can ask," the army doctor said.
Le Cheng and Li Si were stunned for a moment. Neither of them expected that the doctor's method of waking people up would be the same as them. Sure enough, the truth is simple.
Obviously, the captured Qin army general was not someone who would rather die than surrender.
Soon, Zhao Jun got the information they needed.
It is true that the commander-in-chief of the Qin army was Bai Qi, but the commander who stayed in Xingyang was Wang Lu. The army numbered 70,000, but it was not stationed in Xingyang City, but in a military camp outside the city.
In addition, Yuanyong, Xiuyu and other cities have been captured by the Qin army.
"Fortunately, we were fast and crossed the Han Great Wall before the Qin army could react. Otherwise, when the Qin army received the news and stationed troops at the Great Wall, we would have had to spend a lot of effort to capture it," Li Si said happily.
