The Allied Forces of the Five Nations attacked the city, but were attacked by Lu Buwei, Lao Ai and other troops. They could not defeat the attack for a long time. They were alone and went deep into the city without enough food and grass. Next, the Qin army held on to the city and waited for the arrival of winter, which completely cut off food and grass.
, that was the moment when the Five Power Allied Forces were completely destroyed.
The Chu army failed first and retreated.
Wei Jun, Zhao Jun and others gradually withdrew.
The Qin army pursued and killed hundreds of thousands of people, while the coalition forces fled in confusion.
In the final battle, Qin won.
The last joint attack on Qin failed!
This battle was neither thrilling nor thrilling. It was fought very plainly, and the victory was natural.
This battle was commanded by Lu Buwei, who was a master of military skills, but he was still victorious.
"It's so boring!"
Liu Xiu suddenly felt bored. Whether it was King Wu's defeat of Zhou or the overthrow of the Jin Kingdom, they were actually using the weak to defeat the strong. The battles were very thrilling, heart-stopping, and dangerous at every step.
Being cautious means the whole situation will collapse.
However, Qin Shihuang wiped out the six kingdoms without any dangers. He often relied on the strong to bully the weak, using the more to defeat the less, and using the strong to defeat the weak. As long as he followed the steps and did not make big mistakes, whoever became the king of Qin could dominate the world.
He is the First Emperor of Qin, but in essence he is very similar to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong, etc. They all had a good father, a good grandfather, and a good great-grandfather, who laid the foundation of the country firmly and extremely solid. As long as he sits back and enjoys the results, he will be able to
Stay secure.
In later generations, Zhao Gou had bad luck. A prodigal father and a reckless grandfather ruined the entire Song Dynasty family. When Zhao Gou became emperor, he accepted a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy;
As for Emperor Chongzhen, his luck was even worse. The company he took over was in credit crisis, insolvent, had employees with different ideas, and was exhausted from work. He also faced the fate of bankruptcy.
Before Qin Shihuang, King Qin Zhaoxiang reigned for fifty-six years. First, the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi, crippled Qi, and reduced its population by half; then Bai Qi attacked Chu, captured Jiangying, and lost the eastern land and its most elite.
area. Another battle at Changping, in which Zhao suffered a loss of 400,000.
The three great enemies of Qi, Zhao, and Chu were successively defeated by Qin.
Up to now, the Qin State has a household registration of 2.5 million. If one household is selected, it can form an army of at least 2.5 million. If we exclude the troops guarding local cities and the troops transporting grain, about 100 people can be mobilized.
Ten thousand troops.
The frontline granary is enough to support an army of 600,000 for a three-year campaign.
The number of households in Qin is 2.5 million, and the total number of households in the other six countries is only 3 million. As for the male population, it is far inferior to that of Qin. If the six countries really fight, it will not be Qin if the six countries join forces.
The opponents, the six kingdoms, all have different ideas and plans. Qin only needs to attack one and pull one away, and they can easily defeat them all.
With such a rich fortune, it is almost a matter of chance to win.
"If the emperor of the Song Dynasty had a family like mine, Genghis Khan would have been beaten to death, and Kublai Khan would have knelt down; if Chongzhen had a family like mine, ten Nurhaci would have been wiped out!" Liu Xiu sighed: "However,
If you want to be in charge, you have to work for Lu Buwei and marry the princess of Chu!"
If the new emperor wants to take power, he must kill the powerful officials. Even if the powerful officials are loyal, they must be killed.
…………
In the palace, which was relatively dark, a woman sat there with a sad look on her face.
"Greetings to grandma!" Liu Xiu stepped forward and said respectfully, wearing Chu clothes and speaking Chu language, his words were full of respect. He was able to become the prince and then the king of Qin, and this grandmother had a great contribution.
The former Mrs. Huayang became the Queen of Huayang and then the Queen Mother of Huayang.
"It turns out to be Zheng'er... looking more and more like King Zhao!" Queen Mother Huayang said, her eyes full of memories.
"Grandma, Zheng'er is already twenty years old, and will soon be crowned, married and have children!" Liu Xiu said, "I heard that the princess of Chu State is a virtuous and virtuous princess who can be a queen. Let me give her a recommendation!"
Empress Dowager Huayang showed joy and said, "If Zheng'er has this intention, the old woman will be relieved!"
Liu Xiudao said: "As long as my grandmother is here, Zheng'er will never attack Chu!"
The Queen Mother Huayang would not attack Chu when she was alive, but she would attack Chu after she died.
Empress Dowager Huayang said: "Qin and Chu were originally allies and had been married to each other for hundreds of years. At the beginning, the King of Wu defeated the Chu State and the Chu State was in danger. It was Shen Bao's son-in-law who cried in the temple that saved Chu. The marriage between Qin and Chu
, already twelve generations, you are the twenty-first generation!"
Liu Xiu stepped forward and said: "In the future, the son of the widow and the princess of Chu will be the king of Qin!"
After a while, Queen Mother Huayang took out portraits one after another, all of which were portraits of princesses from the Chu Kingdom. She seemed to have been prepared.
"This is Princess Rou!"
"This is Princess Lin!"
There are about seven or eight portraits.
Liu Xiu was speechless. It seemed that the Queen Mother Huayang had already prepared.
Right!
At first, Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang joined forces to fight against the Qin clan; but now, as Lu Buwei's power becomes stronger, and Zhao Ji's power becomes stronger, life is difficult for the relatives of the Chu family. Among the forces in the court, Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, etc.
, the forces represented by the relatives of the Zhao family have already overwhelmed the forces of the relatives of the Chu family!
Taking the example of the Qin State as an example, the marriage of the king of Qin was mostly decided by the queen mother. The queen chosen by the queen mother for her son-in-law was often from her natal family.
Zhao Ji is the Queen Mother and will choose a Zhao princess as the queen.
But Zhao's relatives are already very powerful. If there is another queen, she will be the princess of Zhao.
That would inevitably break the balance and allow the Zhao family to continue to grow bigger, which would be a great disadvantage.
Therefore, choosing the princess of Chu as the queen and adding weight to the Chu relatives can suppress the strength of Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei.
"Princess Rou!"
Liu Xiu said casually, pointing at a certain portrait.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Huayang, she met Zhao Ji just after leaving. Zhao Ji said: "Chu girl is unruly, so she is not a good match! Zhao girl is gentle and virtuous, so she should be a good match!"
As he spoke, he kept saying good things about Ms. Zhao.
Liu Xiu was silent, and finally just said: "As my grandmother said, filial piety must be fulfilled!"
Zhao Ji was also helpless.
The son is old and disobedient. The power of the relatives comes from the King of Qin. If the relatives fall out with the King of Qin, the relatives will still suffer.
After giving in, Zhao Ji suggested that a princess from the Zhao Kingdom become one of the three ladies.
In the Zhou system, the king had one concubine, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one female concubines. The status of the wife was inferior to that of the queen, but there was no competition for it. At that time, the Empress Dowager Xuan, the Empress Dowager Huayang, etc., were not subordinate to the concubines.
After upgrading to queen, the battle is not over, but has just begun!
Liu Xiu smiled in her heart. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at odds, and the confrontation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began again.
If it were a mortal family, it would be natural for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be in harmony; but in the dynasty, it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had to confront each other so that King Qin could feel safe.
At first, Mrs. Huayang wanted to let Zi Chu establish a Chu princess as his queen, but King Qin Zhaoxiang refused and supported Zhao Ji and her son. The purpose was to contain Mrs. Huayang, so that the Chu family relatives would not dominate, and their sons and grandsons
Being emptied out.
As a result, the outcome of the confrontation between the relatives of the Zhao family and the relatives of the Chu family was formed.
