Chapter 372 The Dawn of Great Unification

Zhao Kang was riding a horse and looked at the mighty soldiers of Zhao State coming in the distance.

There are more than 30,000 Zhao elites in the clouds, but Zhao Kang has less than 20,000 soldiers here. However, there is no fear in Zhao Kang's eyes. He looks proudly into the distance, seemingly looking for

Finally, he saw the enemy general's position. The Zhao people lined up in formation. The knights began to prepare for the attack. Zhao Kang looked at the old general beside him. He pointed at the general's flag on the opposite side and said with a smile:

"Look, I'm going to cut off his head myself!"

Now Wang Hao does not dare to speak too fully. After all, the Qin army has no chance of winning when facing the Zhao people. The Qin army rested here for a few days, and Zhao Kang even organized several Taju competitions.

, but the soldiers of the Zhao State on the opposite side were running back and forth, probably without a break... General Zhao of Yunzhong County was simply a fool. He was afraid that he would be captured by the Qin people, so he did not let the soldiers

Rest and recuperate, just mindlessly asking them to come to the rescue.

Zhao's capable generals who are good at fighting are all fighting against Wang Jian outside Handan. The remaining people have only this ability.

The war was about to break out. Zhao Kang ordered Wang Lu to command the chariot troops and attack from both sides. He himself led the elite cavalry and began to attack directly towards the opponent's central position. The chariots rumbled forward and clashed with Zhao's troops.

The cavalry began to fight, and the knights led by Zhao Kang were like awls, piercing Zhao's chest directly. Zhao Kang didn't care about anything and just charged blindly. He held a strong bow and kept shooting.

enemies around.

After running out of arrows, he raised his spear. Nothing could stop him from charging. The general on the opposite side was also frightened when he saw the enemy's main force charging in his direction.

He hurriedly arranged for the soldiers on both sides to go around and surround these people. His strategy was no problem. Unfortunately, Wang Hao was not a vegetarian. This old general had been in the military all his life. He might not know how to annihilate his enemies.

, but he knows how to cooperate with the general.

In the position of lieutenant general, who can compare with him? This was the former dedicated lieutenant of the God of War.

He mobilized the chariots to divide the battlefield, and did not allow the enemies on both sides to approach the front battlefield. He commanded the chariots on both sides at the same time, charging in and out, crushing and charging all the way. For a time, the battlefield became extremely chaotic, and the whine of horses was everywhere.

, the chariot collided with the knights, making a violent noise. Qin's chariot had sharp blades on both sides, which had huge lethality to the knights on the side.

Obviously, Zhao State did not have enough chariots to resist them.

When General Zhao found that the enemy was getting closer and closer to him, he ordered the Chinese army to retreat in fear. Wang Hao was so happy that he immediately changed the direction of the chariot and directly tore the enemy's line in half. The Chinese army and the two

The contact with the side was also interrupted. Zhao Kang roared and threw the spear in his hand. General Zhao who had just stood up and took out the strong bow was directly stabbed through the chest and flew out. At that moment, the Zhao army screamed

Escape for your life.

The knights fled in all directions, and Qin began to pursue them.

...

Within Xianyang, the King of Qin and his ministers were waiting for news from all over the country. Today, the Qin State is fighting on two fronts. With Zhao Kang, it is a three-front war, which consumes a lot of national power. At this time,

Zheng Guoqu's role really came into play... This made King Qin understand more about the importance of internal affairs. Only strong internal affairs can cope with all kinds of wars.

The battle report from Wei State was first sent to Xianyang. King Qin was the first to know the situation. King Wei Zeng surrendered and then committed suicide. The armies of Qin State and Qi State had completely captured all the cities of Wei State. Wei State was officially destroyed. Zhao Zheng should have

I feel happy that the once powerful Wei State perished in his hands. He has accomplished what his father and ancestors have never accomplished. It is because of this that he can become famous in history and become a wise king.

However, when he saw the news of Wei Wangzeng's suicide, he couldn't be happy.

When he was not in power, Zeng was his good friend. They and Qi played in Xianyang and often hung out together. Until he returned to inherit the throne, Zhao Zheng never thought of killing him, even during the attack.

When he was in the Kingdom of Wei, he never thought of killing him. After learning of his death, Zhao Zheng ordered all the guards in the palace to go out. Afterwards, he sat quietly on his desk and stared at the battle report in a daze.

He was in pain. He probably didn't expect that the cowardly young master would be so strong now... His memories were rolling in front of him like a scroll, and Zhao Zheng found that he couldn't cry at all... He couldn't bear it

Feeling an inexplicable torment, King Qin sat alone for a long time. It was not until the queen appeared that the sad atmosphere was interrupted. The guards did not dare to stop the queen and allowed her to enter.

Ming looked at King Qin who was sitting on the throne, slowly sat beside him, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

King Qin shook his head and then said: "It's nothing... Wei State has been destroyed."

"Then you should be happy? Why are you so sad?"

"The king of Wei was a good friend of me, and he died for his country."

The queen understood, she stretched out her hand, held King Qin's hand, and said: "When you realize your ambition, you can go to worship him in person... I can accompany you..." King Qin said nothing more

, he sighed, and just said: "My father treated his disciples as if they were his own children... Now that Zeng has died in front of his father, I don't know how painful my father is..."

King Qin suddenly woke up, stood up, looked at the queen, and said: "There are still millions of people in Wei who need to be resettled. Because of this year's war, Wei's farming has been affected. If we don't make arrangements, I'm afraid that

A lot of people are going to starve to death...I have to go to work...I'll see you later." The queen looked at the king who cheered up and nodded with a smile. King Qin then hurriedly summoned the ministers and announced to them

The fall of Wei State.

The ministers were naturally very excited, as the dawn of a unified world seemed to have emerged.

The King of Qin was not in a hurry to reward everyone or celebrate. He looked at Lu Buwei and said seriously: "We must quickly send officials to take over the land of Wei and promote Qin's laws. Just like before, we will also exempt all parts of Wei from a year."

Taxation, corvee work... In addition, we need to transport grain to Wei, appease the people, and organize farming... If it's too late, then prepare in advance for next year's spring planting."

Lu Buwei immediately agreed, and the officials were busy again. First, they divided the Wei State. The Qin State established Dongjun on the basis of the Wei State, and the rest of the area was divided into Sanchuan County. Then came the arrangements for officials in various places, and the arrangement with the Qi State.

However, Lu Buwei felt that maintaining friendly relations with Qi was more important than the land of Wei, so he proposed to divide the land of Wei outside Jiyang.

The territory was allocated to Qi.

King Qin actually didn't really want to give these areas to Qi, but what Lu Buwei said was very reasonable. After the fall of Wei, there were only four countries: Zhao, Chu, Yan, and Qi. Now Chu and Qi

All the countries were on good terms with Qin, but Yan was extremely weak. The only country Qin had to deal with was Zhao. Maintaining a friendly relationship with Qi would be more conducive to the subsequent conquest of Zhao. King Qin finally agreed to Lu Buwei's plan.

.

Qin and Qi divided Wei in this way, and Qi's army returned to its own territory, while Zhao Kuo continued to guard Wei in order to prevent possible rebellions in various places.

Xianyang was busy trying to appease Wei, but he received another battle report from Yunzhong.

King Qin was sitting in the palace, calmly looking at the scouts in front of him. Zhao Kang sent back the battle report so quickly, probably because he had realized his shortcomings. With the old general Wang Lu around, King Qin was not worried about the safety of his younger brother.

, he had ordered Wang Lu that if Zhao Kang made a mistake, he could imprison him directly and then return with the army... The scout looked at the king and said: "In the battle of Yunzhong, General Kang captured 40,000... Yunzhong has been captured...

All the cities in it..."

"Um???"

"What did you say?"

King Qin's eyes widened, and then he stood up, walked to the scout, grabbed the bamboo slips from his hand, and then started to read. The bamboo slips recorded in detail Qin's gains and the many things it captured.

City... Ying Zheng looked at the battle report blankly. It had the seals of Zhao Kang and Wang Lu, which meant that they were both responsible for the battle report. If it was inconsistent with the actual situation, both of them would be beheaded.

"Hahaha~~" Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.

"Okay, okay...someone, come and summon the ministers!!"

At this moment, Zhao Kang was standing on the Zhao Great Wall with some boredom, looking at the wilderness in the distance. He said impatiently: "Sieging a city is what I hate the most. I heard that those barbarians outside the wall,

They don't have a tall city. The grassland and the plains thousands of miles away are most suitable for cavalry. I'm just thinking about going to fight outside the fortress." Wang Hao stood beside him, listening to his complaints, but he couldn't help but laugh.

stand up.

There was Li Mu before, and there was Zhao Kang later. This barbarian was also unlucky.

"Previously, Li Mu of Zhao State severely wounded the Hu people outside the Great Wall. I'm afraid you won't be able to find them when you go out..." Wang Hao said, not knowing what he thought of, and he added: "Moreover, the enemy of Qin State is

All countries, if you want to go out to conquer outside the Great Wall, you must first pacify them." Zhao Kang laughed, he leaned on the city wall and said contentedly: "All countries have perished... All countries have perished long ago.

..I hope they don’t lose too quickly, I really want to fight that Li Mu!”

"I have never met him, but my father always talks about him and what a natural general he is..."

Zhao Kang seemed a little jealous of Li Mu. He said angrily: "I have to show my father who is the best general!"

Wang Hao looked at the arrogance on the young man and didn't feel disgusted at all. Perhaps young people should be like this, confident and proud, not afraid of anything... Wang Hao said happily: "Li Mu can rely on one hundred thousand Zhao

Soldiers of the country, if you block Wang Jian's attack without food and grass...in my opinion, you are still inferior to him."

"Oh really?"

"Of course, when he was your age, he was probably not as good as you, but if you want to fight with him now, I'm afraid you won't be his opponent... Li Mu's fighting style is fierce and fast. If he has enough food and grass,

Commanding the soldiers of Qin, I think he can defeat any general in the world..."

"What about my father?"

"That's...well, any general except your father."

Wang Lu thought for a moment and then said: "Next, Qin's goal is Zhao... To attack Zhao, Marquis Wu Cheng probably won't go out. Wang Jian should be in charge of the war. When the time comes, you will

You can serve as his deputy general, or his vanguard... Follow him, you can learn a lot." Zhao Kang shook his head disapprovingly, and he said: "I will not serve as deputy general, let alone

Vanguard...I only serve as the commander!"

"What if you serve as deputy general?"

"Then I will drive for you and drive for you for thirty days!"

"Okay..." Wang Hao chuckled.

"Well, if I don't serve as deputy general, can you marry your granddaughter to me?" Zhao Kuo suddenly asked.

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said, "It's a deal."

...

Many generals of Zhao State were resisting Wang Jian's attack, and the news of Yunzhong's fall spread at this time, which frightened King Zhao. He hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss peace negotiations. Guo Kai took the opportunity to speak.

, asked Qin's conditions before making a decision. In fact, Wang Jian had no way to achieve a greater breakthrough. After receiving reinforcements, Li Mu sent several partial divisions to break through Wang Jian's siege and began a counterattack.

The battle between Wang Jian and Li Mu reached a stalemate. Both sides refused to give in. Wang Jian's side consumed a lot of food and grass, and his strategic purpose had been achieved. The reason why he persisted was to weaken the State of Zhao as much as possible. In the State of Zhao again,

When sending people to negotiate peace, Lu Buwei was not in a hurry. He proposed Qin's peace terms. Zhao would cede Yanmen to Qin. This was simply a big deal.

Zhao Guo will never agree to this condition.

The two sides then began long-term negotiations. This was Lu Buwei helping Wang Jian to weaken the Zhao State. If he could delay it for one more day, the Zhao State would become weaker. This would be a crushing of national strength.

After many days of negotiation, the two sides ended the war. Zhao State ceded several cities near Yunzhong to Qin State... King Zhao could not bear this result. He was very angry, but he did not blame him.

Li Mu, he knew that Li Mu had reached his limit. The opponent was not weak and had many soldiers. Li Mu could not be blamed for this. But although King Zhao knew these truths, he still couldn't accept it in his heart.

Furious, King Zhao fell ill.

Guo Kai was very anxious and personally summoned many famous doctors to treat King Zhao.

The whole Zhao Kingdom was worried.

ps: Brothers, I would like to dedicate a new book by a friend, "If I Were the Emperor in the Late Ming Dynasty". This is a new book by an old author who specializes in historical classification. After several books, this should be a good work.

.

There will be another chapter later, I will take a break and then update.
