Wang Jian's army occupied the entire Liaodong County.
The Liaodong Hu people are the Hu people living in Liaodong County. Of course, because of the unreliable system of Yan State, a large number of Hu people from other places were also brought to this place, thus becoming the Liaodong Hu people. Liaodong Hu people
Most of them are engaged in farming, and all they want is peace of mind in farming. Although their farming technology is relatively backward and the crops they cultivate are relatively single, they rarely rise up to resist unless they have to.
This may be a characteristic of farming culture.
After Wang Jian occupied Liaodong, he was unable to find the whereabouts of King Zhongshan and King Yan. According to the people of Liaodong, they seemed to have fled to Korea. Even the people of Yan and Zhao were unfamiliar with this former vassal state, let alone
What about Wang Jian, a native of Qin? He didn't know what the country of Korea was at all...or he learned from the mouths of the locals that the merchants went there to be crowned kings.
Wang Jian is still a little hesitant about this strange country. He wants to capture King Zhongshan and King Yan, even if he just brings back their bodies. In this way, his country's destruction can be said to be complete. How can he say it without capturing a king?
Is it to destroy the country? Wang Jian thought twice and sent Wang Ben to lead the vanguard army from Liaodong towards North Korea... Most of the people Wang Ben brought were cavalry. In this way, no matter what situation he encountered, he could
Get away whole body.
This is Wang Jian's test of the North Korean region.

Just when Wang Jian was sharpening his sword and preparing to pursue, Donghu tribes, large and small, appeared on the long border of Yan State. The situation of Donghu was somewhat different from that of the Xiongnu. Although they were all tribal alliances, the Donghu Alliance
The composition of the Xiongnu seems to be more complicated, with many different cultures within it. Similar to the Chu State, the power of the Xiongnu is divided into three parts, respectively in the hands of the Shan Yu and the left and right virtuous kings.
The power of Donghu is in the hands of King Donghu and a large group of tribal leaders. These tribal leaders are also called tribal leaders, who resemble a grassland version of the Chu Kingdom... When the previous tribal leader of Donghu deliberately killed himself countless
, and that the Yan State was in rebellion, and that the Qin State was plundering, etc. After the news came out, the tribes of Donghu, big and small, couldn't sit still. They looked at the slaves, the supplies, and the wealth that the young man brought back.
, their eyes were red.
The young people's reminders are more like they are afraid that they will imitate them, and they also look down on them, which makes them even more angry. Different cultures have different ideas. The Donghu people have limited understanding of the Qin State, and in the
In their minds, the Qin State is just a robber, no different from themselves. Of course, they don't understand what a unification war is. Their idea is that since the Yan State is in trouble, everyone should come together and eat him up.
If Qin robs others, I will rob mine, and everyone will not interfere with each other.
Obviously, their view was wrong. After Wang Jian learned that a large number of Donghu people appeared outside the Great Wall, he immediately issued an order to prepare to retreat. Wang Jian's order made the young generals very angry, but Wang Jian's attitude
He is very determined. No matter who he is, he must obey his orders. Anyone who dares to act without authorization, even if he goes to chop off King Donghu's head, will be executed!
Wang Jian was very strict in running the army, especially after issuing orders, he was never vague. Not to mention you as a young general with potential, even Wang Ben, his own son, the queen of a famous family like Zhao Kang, Zhao Kuo...
As long as a general like Meng Wu was under Wang Jian and dared not obey his orders, he would never relent and would be executed directly! Following Wang Jian's orders, the Qin army first chose to retreat.
The State of Yan was vast and sparsely populated, and there were not many cities. The Qin army retreated in an orderly manner.
The Donghu were different from the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu's plundering was under the leadership of the Chanyu and the left and right virtuous kings. In other words, they would carry out organized plundering with about 100,000 troops, while the Donghu plundered in a scattered manner.
, King Donghu only took his own people, and he didn't care about the other tribes. Donghu said to the tribal adults: I'll rob it, you can do whatever you want. Then he led his main army directly across the Great Wall to plunder the wealthy Xiangping area.
.
When the other tribal leaders saw King Donghu drinking it all in one gulp, they crossed the Great Wall from all over the country to plunder the Yan Kingdom.
The Donghu and the Xiongnu have different plundering methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the Donghu is not as scary as the Xiongnu. A hundred thousand Xiongnu gather together, and the local garrison is difficult to resist. It is still possible to stop the Donghu, but if you want to defeat them,
It's really not easy. The Huns are like a pack of wolves, and these people are like scattered wild wolves. They rush in from all directions and fight on their own. Coupled with the long border, it becomes very difficult to deal with them.
things.
The Yan State was always bullied by the Donghu. It was not until the period of King Zhao of Yan that a Lu man named Qin Kai went to Donghu to be a hostage. Qin Kai stayed in Donghu for a long time and understood their customs, military geography, and later engaged in horse trading.
On the way, he broke away from the army and returned to the country. King Yan Zhao made him a general to resist the Donghu. After Qin Kai returned to the country, he led his army to fight against the Donghu. The Yan army moved from west to east, from the Guishui River Basin (today's Yanqing in Beijing) to Miyun.
The area's Yushui (today's Baihe River) and Baoqiu River (today's Chaohe River) basins advanced.
Cutting through passes and seizing passes along the way, horses trampling on flat rivers. Although the Donghu Army resisted vigorously, they could not stop the Yan Army's fierce offensive and had to retreat all the way. The Yan Army pursued the victory and regained the lost ground one after another. With the successive victories, the Yan Army's morale became even stronger.
They made great efforts to pursue and annihilate Donghu to the northeast, and Donghu retreated to the upper reaches of the Liao River in today's west, more than a thousand miles away. This was the greatest victory achieved by Yan State against Donghu, making Yan State a large country second only to Qin and Chu.
General Qin Kai was an outstanding general, but his descendants were not so good. There was a warrior in Yan State named Qin Wuyang who dared to kill people at the age of fourteen... He was the grandson of General Qin Kai.
Ever since General Qin Kai defeated Donghu, Donghu no longer dared to gather large armies to fight against Yan. They scattered, took a bite of meat, and then ran away... Who can command the army on a long front to fight against Yan?
What about fighting with dispersed enemies? Who has such command ability?
Unfortunately, Wang Jian has it.
Wang Jian first asked the armies from various places to retreat, and then ordered the Qin army in the upper valley to come to Zaoyang, which is the northwestmost point. He led the Liaodong army northward, while the army in the abdomen was slowly retreating, and the Donghu people were not yet ready.
Knowing Wang Jian's plan, they were very happy after crossing the Great Wall easily, and marched non-stop towards the hinterland of Yan State. As for the Qin army, they had long been forgotten.
At this time, the army gathered in Zaoyang suddenly marched toward the east, and the enemy encountered the Qin army for the first time in Yuyang. The general who led the army was Yang Duanhe. Yang Duanhe took advantage of the local advantages and used bows and crossbows.
He attacked and severely wounded the invading Donghu tribesmen. Immediately, the infantry charged head-on, and the chariots and cavalry cooperated to cut the battlefield. Yang Duanhe blew off the heads of the Donghu tribesmen.
They hit the iron plate head-on, and the overwhelming arrows became their last memory, while the troops advancing in an orderly manner became their nightmare. They were unwilling to fight and retreated immediately after encountering resistance, but
Unknown to them, Li Xin, who was marching toward the east, cut off their retreat. They hit the iron plate again. Li Xin, who was particularly angry because of the trick, vented his anger on these people.
Several Donghu tribes were almost wiped out, and the rest fled in the direction of Youbeiping.
The King of Donghu who attacked Xiangping, Liaodong was even more unlucky. Wang Jian and his main army were stationed together. He bumped into Wang Jian. When the two sides met, King Donghu was still not sure whether he should retreat.
But then, Wang Jian quickly launched an attack from three directions at the same time. All arms cooperated with each other. On the endless plain, Qin's chariot troops killed the enemy with force.
Then King Donghu ran away. Wang Jian was unwilling to let go of this opportunity and continued to pursue. While pursuing, Wang Jian was still ordering troops from various places. With the help of Yan State's long front line, he created a huge pocket and took the risk.
The Donghu people who came were besieged. When the Donghu people were frustrated in all directions, realized their problems, and were about to flee, they realized something was wrong. Wang Jian's appetite was too big, and he wanted to devour all the Donghu troops in one bite.
Under Wang Jian's order, the armies from all over the country were able to fight against the invading Donghu tribes in time. While fighting, they could slowly weave bags... Just when Liaodong was plunged into a bloody battle, Qin had already begun
A new round of internal affairs.
Lu Buwei is finally leaving his position.
Lu Buwei initially assisted Prince Yiren and helped him ascend the throne, and then governed the Qin State before the King of Qin came of age. Apart from the stain of Lao Ai, his contribution in other aspects was very great, including water conservancy projects, talent selection, and foreign wars.
, system transition, etc., he has done very well, but the problem now is that he is too old. Today Lu Buwei is stooped, using a cane, and is dazzled and deaf.
Probably because he had been busy with government affairs for a long time, which caused great damage to his body, in just a few years, he skipped the intermediate transition and directly became a rickety old man from an elegant middle-aged man... The King of Qin still treated him
With great respect, while sitting in the palace, King Qin first asked someone to read out the political achievements of Marquis Wenxin over the years. When someone started to read out, Lu Buwei probably understood in his heart.
He was not angry or frustrated, he just stood up, bowed to King Qin, and then resigned.
In this era, people's self-esteem is very strong. If the King of Qin asks him to resign because of his old age, it may lead to a murder... The best way is to let Lu Buwei resign on his own initiative. Lu Buwei obviously understands what the King of Qin wants.
Thoughts, although he is old and his reactions are not as good as before, he is still Lu Buwei, and he has not become stupid. After Lu Buwei resigned, the King of Qin thanked him for his political achievements over the years and gave him a useless job similar to that of Zhao Kuo
privilege.
Including using a few cauldrons to eat, and if you have anything to do, you can directly come to the palace to see King Qin, etc.
Although Lu Buwei could no longer bite the meat and could not climb the steps of the palace alone, these privileges were still enviable. The ministers stood up to thank Lu Buwei, and it was their last visit to the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. Lu Buwei smiled, only Zhao Zhao
Kuo noticed the sadness hidden under his eyes...including Zhao Kuo, they all stood up to thank the prime minister. In Zhao Kuo's view, Lu Buwei's political achievements were not inferior to Fan Ju.
The Qin State on the historical line when he was still alive easily defeated its powerful enemy, more than ten years earlier than in history, and many internal changes were also achieved to a certain extent. Zhao Kuo can be sure that even if he dies,
Here, there will probably not be any large-scale rebellions in the future... Because the Qin State has changed a lot under the governance of the Huairou faction Lu Buwei, and sooner or later the people of the six countries will have a sense of identification with the Qin State.
Since Lu Buwei is leaving, someone must take his place.
There are many choices before the King of Qin. The first one is Qi. Qi is a relative of the King of Qin and his best friend. Today, Qi holds the position of Jiuqing, responsible for foreign affairs and civil affairs. It can be said that he has political achievements.
, has qualifications and is trustworthy. The second one is Han Fei. Han Fei also serves as Jiuqing and is responsible for the compilation of laws. Similarly, he is the first teacher of King Qin. King Qin respects him very much and loves him. He is completely worthy of trust.
.
The third one is Li Si. Li Si was trained by Lu Buwei as his successor. He has terrible practical ability and can perfectly execute King Qin's orders... King Qin admires his ability and thinks he is the most suitable person to serve as prime minister.
, but it is not very trusting... Ying Zheng thought for a long time and finally made up his mind. No matter who is sitting in this position, he can control the other person. What he has to consider is not whether he can trust him or not, but whether he can trust him or not.
Can it be used?
Who can't he use?
What kind of person dares to cause trouble in front of him?
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and Li Si officially became the prime minister of Qin. Lu Buwei handed over his affairs to Li Si. At this time, Ying Zheng subconsciously felt that the power of the position of prime minister seemed a bit too much... The first
The person who thought this way was not Ying Zheng, but his ancestor King Wu of Qin. King Wu felt that the power of the prime minister was a bit too great, so he specially created two positions, the left and right prime ministers.
The two positions of left and right prime minister are not permanent. In other words, if the King of Qin arranged for one person to be the prime minister, he would be the prime minister. If he arranged two people, just divide them into left and right. Zhao Kuo was carrying out official duties at the beginning.
During the reform, the left and right prime ministers were banned. King Qin looked at the extremely excited Li Si in front of him, and he suddenly felt that maybe the left and right prime minister system should be retained.
It's not that King Qin was afraid of Li Si, he just felt that the prime minister had too many things to manage. If he met a weaker king, the prime minister could directly ignore him, which was really not good.
