This matter is really outrageous, and it’s no wonder that Li Mu can’t understand it.
The prefect of Nanyang County not only led his troops to surrender to the Qin State, but also helped the Qin State conquer other lands of the Han State. Most importantly, it only took three days.
In just three days, South Korea was destroyed. The speed of its demise was too fast.
This surrendered general of the Kingdom of Han has such ability and capability, why doesn't he fight against Qin?
Instead, he surrendered to the Qin State, conquered all the cities of Han State, and then gave these places away?
What is this operation ?
Not to mention Li Mu, no general or king would understand this.
When the news reached the neighboring Chu and Wei states.
The kings of Chu and Wei were all dumbfounded.
The King of Chu looked at the military brief over and over again with an expression of disbelief.
He knew every word on this military brief, but why couldn't he understand it when these words were combined together?
Wang Teng, the prefect of Nanyang County in Han State, surrendered to Qin State and led his surrendered troops to capture almost all the remaining cities in Han State, including Yangdi, the capital of Han State.
In other words, in just three days, the entire land of Han was occupied by this surrendered general. Now it is all Qin's territory, and Han has been destroyed.
But the question is, how could the King of Qin trust a surrendered general to lead the surrendered troops to attack the Kingdom of Han?
Not only the surrendered generals, but also the surrendered soldiers were all Koreans!
The Koreans conquered Korea and gave the land to the Qin State? ?
This piece of information completely paralyzed the King of Chu!
How could such a thing happen?
This is too bizarre!
Originally, when the King of Chu saw Qin attacking Han, he was ready to intervene.
The reason for his action was simple. He wanted to avenge the deaths of Qin's foreign relatives. Although his son, Changping Jun, was released by the King of Qin because he was innocent, many of those who were killed were Chu nobles, and they were basically related to the King of Chu.
Those hands that reached out to Qin were cut off for no reason, so they naturally wanted to retaliate, and Qin's invasion of Han gave Chu an opportunity.
However, something happened that the King of Chu could not understand. The surrendered generals of Han helped Qin to defeat Han, and then handed Han over to Qin.
"Can wars still be fought like this these days?" The King of Chu squinted his eyes as he looked at the military brief, muttering to himself in disbelief.
Afterwards, the King of Chu handed the general's letter to Changping Jun who had just returned to Qin.
Changping Jun was also incredulous when he saw this. He was a little surprised and said, "What is going on? Are these Koreans mentally ill???"
Changping Jun also couldn't understand why the Koreans could help Qin fight against Korea and actually conquer it.
Even if the surrendered generals did so and worked hard for Qin, did those surrendered soldiers have no brains? Didn't they know what they were doing?
This is really crazy!
"This is the only explanation now." The King of Chu nodded helplessly and said, "These Koreans have a problem with their brains."
"This... do we still need to send troops?" asked Changping Jun.
"Why send out an army?" The King of Chu sighed in frustration, and said with emotion: "There used to be rumors that King Zheng of Qin was a sage who was born with knowledge, and that he had the mandate of heaven and was a king who only appears once in a thousand years. I was dismissive of it at first. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't have any 'mandate of heaven'..."
"But now, I kind of believe it. If there is no destiny, what is going on in Korea?"
"This Qin Wang Zheng conquered Han easily without any soldiers. If this isn't destiny, then what is it?"
Changping Jun, who was standing by, had a strange look on his face when he heard this, but he did not refute it because he had just returned from Qin and had met King Zheng of Qin more than once. He was well aware of his extraordinary qualities.
at the same time.
Wei State.
The King of Wei also saw the intelligence about Han. He stood up and angrily shouted, "Are these Han people crazy?"
"Your Majesty, why are you so out of control?" Long Yangjun asked softly.
"You will know it at a glance!" King Wei handed the information to Lord Longyang.
Long Yangjun looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and was completely speechless.
He said blankly: "Is there such a thing?"
This is the first time I’ve seen this in my entire life!
Zhao State.
King Zhao, who was resting on the bed, could not help but coughing excitedly after seeing this information. After coughing for a long time, he lay weakly on the bed, muttering: "How could this be...Han was destroyed just like this."
The demise of South Korea was not too dramatic; it was a completely dramatic result. South Korea, which had existed for such a long time, was destroyed by a surrendered general.
The surrendered general used a trick to deceive the King of Han, killed him, and then cleansed the capital of Han by force. Under his coercion, other cities had no choice but to surrender.
Anyone who sees this information will immediately question its authenticity, because this information seems too absurd and does not seem to be true at all.
How can the demise of a country be so dramatic?
However, upon closer inspection, this turned out to be true.
This magical reality reminded them of the original rumors -
The sage who is born with knowledge, the young prince who is blessed with a destiny, is the current King Zheng of Qin!
These people blamed the bizarre events in South Korea on the King of Qin.
And at the same time.
Qin State, Xianyang.
When Su Che saw this information, he couldn't help but fall into silence.
Is this how we take over all of Korea?
Although in his opinion, South Korea had already been in his pocket and it was only a matter of time to conquer it, the fact that he conquered it so easily in a short time was still a little too fast .
"This Wang Teng is really a talent." Su Che looked at the description in the military brief and smiled: "The regicide...Is he forced to become completely evil because of me?"
Generally speaking, a person who kills a monarch, especially one who killed the original monarch, will be feared by other monarchs. After all, if he can kill a monarch, what else can he not do? Who would dare to use him with confidence?
However, Su Che didn't care so much. He even dared to use the powerful minister Lu Buwei, let alone Wang Teng who killed the king and betrayed his master?
Su Che directly appointed Wang Teng as a marquis, and the title of every person under his command who participated in the war to annihilate the country was promoted by one level.
Later, Su Che ordered Bai Qi to take over the entire Kingdom of Han. He must calm the people's hearts, prevent illegal activities, and allow the people to live and work in peace.
at the same time.
Namyang County, South Korea.
The war goes on.
Bai Qi commanded the Qin army and continued to fight against Li Mu's army.
The war between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage.
Earlier, when Bai Qi saw the information, he was surprised and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that King Zheng of Qin had anticipated all this from the beginning?
If not, why would he give Wang Teng the military power and let him attack the remaining cities of South Korea?
Others don't know who was behind letting Wang Teng attack Korea and what the process was like, but Bai Qi, as one of the parties involved, knows it very well.
If it weren't for the King of Qin's order, he would never have made such a high-risk move.
It turns out that although the risks are high, the returns are even higher!
Even Bai Qi could not imagine taking over Korea's land without any effort.
In this case, he cannot fall behind and must try his best to annihilate the Zhao-Wei coalition forces!
This laid the foundation for the subsequent conquest of Zhao and Wei.
As long as these coalition forces are annihilated here, the resistance of Zhao and Wei will be much smaller!
"The general on the opposite side is a bit difficult, but that's all." Bai Qi squinted his eyes, as if he could see through the battlefield of fighting, through the fog of war, and see the general of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces, Li Mu!
Even Bai Qi had to admit that the generals of the opposing coalition forces were indeed a bit difficult to deal with. His command level was very strong. It seemed that not all generals in the world were fools.
"However, since I have received news that South Korea has fallen, I believe you also know that this war is a meaningless war."
Bai Qi chuckled, he was calm as if everything was under control.
"Since South Korea is gone, what's the point of continuing the war?"
"Moreover, you can't see any hope of victory in this war. If we wait until the surrendered troops from South Korea come to our aid, we will surely be annihilated."
"So, you should be very anxious now..."
"You tried everything to get rid of my suppression and tried to lead the army away from this swamp of war, but you couldn't do it because you were facing me."
"Once you get impatient and make a slight misjudgment, the loss will be even more serious."
"Faced with this situation, what choice do you make?"
"Are we going to leave all of Wei's troops on the battlefield as a price, and then retreat with Zhao's troops?"
"Or are you unwilling to make such a cruel decision and continue to stay and deal with it?"
Bai Qi was like a precise and elegant butcher, constantly issuing order after order, quickly cutting up the coalition forces of Zhao and Wei. He was like a cat playing with a mouse, toying with his opponent with great interest.
If it were other generals of the Qin army, even the likes of Wang He and Wang Jian, facing Li Mu, they would probably suffer a great loss if they were not careful and would not dare to play like this.
Only Bai Qi was different. When he was serious, he was like a god of the battlefield. His command was precise and extreme. The 150,000 Qin troops under his command were like his arms, waving freely.
His battlefield command has reached the pinnacle. At this moment, he is not only commanding the Qin army, but even "commanding" the enemy!
This extreme micro-management was as abnormal as turning on a full-map cheat. The poor allied forces of Zhao and Wei were played around in the palm of their hands.
In fact, it was Li Mu. If it were anyone else, they would have been in danger and waiting to be annihilated.
now.
In the main camp of the Zhao-Wei coalition forces, Li Mu was constantly and passively issuing command orders, and he had been trying to struggle!
But when Bai Qi bit the prey, it was not easy even for Li Mu to escape safely.
When the news of the fall of South Korea came, he knew that this war was meaningless.
But the problem is, he couldn't even get away!
Under Bai Qi's command, if he really dared to withdraw his troops regardless of the consequences, the losses of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces would be absolutely terrible.
As the orders were issued one by one, Li Mu gradually realized that something was wrong. His command was very passive and he was almost led by Bai Qi the entire time! !
This is wrong!
If we continue, we will probably fall into the encirclement of the Qin army!
What does Bai Qi want to do?
Do you want to annihilate them all???
Thinking of this, Li Mu's scalp felt numb and he broke out in a cold sweat!
Fortunately, he discovered it early, otherwise he would have fallen into the trap!
This moment.
Li Mu suddenly thought of General Lian Po's evaluation of Bai Qi a long time ago.
Lian Po warned Li Mu: "Bai Qi is a man with a murderous heart! You must be careful in the future!"
At that time, Li Mu was still a little confused. What does "too murderous" mean? Does it mean that Bai Qi is bloodthirsty? Isn't this a recognized fact? Everyone in the world knows that Bai Qi likes to chop off heads! What's there to remind him of?
At that time, Li Mu was still unable to empathize with Bai Qi, but now, facing off against him, he felt the other party's extremely strong fighting style, and he almost wanted to surround and destroy him all the time. The feeling of brutality was almost overwhelming!
"Is this the world's number one general, Bai Qi, Marquis of Wu'an?" Li Mu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This was his first battle with Bai Qi.
To a certain extent, Li Mu grew up hearing about Bai Qi's vicious reputation, and he knew clearly that Qin had such an invincible general.
During the Battle of Changping, he was just a young general who had just reached adulthood. Like Zhao Kuo at the time, he only had theory but not much practical experience.
As more than ten years have passed, the original Li Mu has grown up.
Li Mu wondered more than once whether he could have become an excellent general if Zhao Kuo had not died in the Battle of Changping?
Maybe he is as good as me, or even better than me, then he might not be so passive when fighting against Bai Qi!
All of this is unknown.
At this moment, Li Mu, who had already reacted, quickly issued several military orders, trying to escape the encirclement trap of the Qin army.
Bai Qi realized that the enemy had discovered the trap, but he didn't take it seriously. He reorganized the encirclement and continued to besiege the coalition forces of Zhao and Wei.
It seemed that if Bai Qi did not completely annihilate his opponent, this war would be a failure.
Faced with Bai Qi, who had reached the utmost level and was extremely shrewd and cunning, the still young Li Mu was so flustered that he could not resist at all.
Perhaps if Li Mu was given another ten years to grow, he would definitely not be in such a mess.
Unfortunately, time is not waiting for him!
At this moment, Li Mu also realized that if he continued to fight, he would be wiped out sooner or later!
"We must mobilize all our cavalry to help and let them assist us in retreating." Li Mu came up with this idea.
He still has one last trump card to play, the Zhao cavalry!
This trump card is Li Mu's trump card.
Since King Wuling of Zhao implemented the policy of wearing Hu clothes and riding and shooting, Zhao established an army composed mainly of cavalry, and its role in the war became instantly apparent.
In the following year, Zhao launched an attack on Zhongshan, which had long invaded Zhao. The attack went all the way to Ningjia, and then westwards to attack the Hu land and reached Yuzhong. In a short period of time, the Zhao State "opened up a thousand miles of land", which made the King of Linhu offer good horses to Zhao in exchange for peace.
Later, King Wuling of Zhao used this Hu land to provide cavalry to the interior.
The cavalry of Zhao State was famous throughout the world.
It can be said that after the "Hu clothing and horse riding" reform, Zhao State became the most powerful country except Qin State at that time.
The Zhao State's cavalry has always been their proud signature.
Facing the tough Qin army at this moment, Li Mu immediately used this trump card to cover their retreat!
But soon.
When news came in one after another, Li Mu was shocked to find that their Zhao cavalry could not defeat the Qin cavalry!
The losses were very exaggerated. The Qin cavalry was much stronger than that of Zhao!
This...how is this possible?
The State of Zhao had been wearing Hu clothing and riding and shooting for so many years, and its cavalry was so fierce that it was hard to find an enemy in the Central Plains. Even the Hu people were no match for the people of Zhao.
The Zhao cavalry is the best in the world!
The cavalry, which has been powerful for so long, is suddenly no longer useful?
How could Li Mu believe this?
Indeed, Bai Qi's command was very strong, and Li Mu felt inferior to him, so he had to retreat. However, Zhao's cavalry was actually no match for Qin's cavalry. How could this happen? This was not something that could be influenced by command!
How could these Qin people be so good at horse riding?
This is too weird!!
Li Mu was puzzled.
He racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was going on.
at the same time.
On the Qin army side.
Bai Qi listened to the information his men were constantly passing on and couldn't help but smile: "Is Zhao's cavalry so great? They actually want to use cavalry to cover the retreat, how can it be that simple?"
"If it was in the past, maybe you could really succeed, but now, the Qin cavalry is stronger than your Zhao cavalry!"
The reason why the Qin cavalry suddenly became stronger was not because of any external cheats. The reason was very simple: Su Che invented the stirrup!
During this period, stirrups had not yet been invented, so the power displayed by cavalry was very limited.
The so-called stirrups are two rings hanging on both sides of the horse's body, with the soles of the rider's left and right feet stepping into the two rings respectively.
This is a very simple invention.
But such a simple invention directly changed the history of cavalry warfare and quickly gave birth to a large number of cavalrymen who were good at riding horses in the Qin State.
If there were no stirrups, a person on horseback would have to hold onto the horse's mane or reins with their hands to keep their body stable. Without eight or ten years of training, it would be extremely difficult to wield a sword or a gun, or draw a bow and shoot on horseback.
However, with stirrups, one's feet can walk on flat ground as if on flat ground, making it easy to kill enemies on horseback.
In addition, with the help of the horse's momentum and height, infantry is even more vulnerable to cavalry.
Originally, the Qin cavalry was naturally far inferior to the Zhao cavalry, which had been practicing Hu clothing and horse riding for so many years. However, after Su Che took out this small stirrup, the situation was reversed directly. It can be said that the effect was very terrifying.
This information was also strictly controlled by the Qin military, and anyone who leaked it would be killed without mercy.
Because the principle of the stirrup is so simple, once it is leaked, others can easily copy it, and by then, a large number of opponents will inevitably appear.
But there is no way. You can't give up using this powerful weapon just because you are worried about leakage or plagiarism.
Therefore, in the battle to destroy Han, Su Che took out the stirrup directly after discussing with Bai Qi!
At this moment, the Qin cavalry directly plunged the armies of Zhao and Wei into the swamp of war again.
Bai Qi once again took command and spread a big net to surround the allied forces of Zhao and Wei and then annihilate them completely!
From the beginning until now, Bai Qi has never given up trying to annihilate his opponent.
This put a lot of pressure on Li Mu. He realized that if he dragged on, the problem would become very serious. The powerful Qin cavalry would cut them into pieces and eat them bite by bite.
Now the loss is huge!
Now, some people must be sacrificed...
Thinking of this, Li Mu's eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and finally gave the order. Nearly half of the Zhao army and nearly half of the Wei army would serve as the rear guard, while part of the army would evacuate first.
As for those troops guarding the rear, their life and death are left to fate!
You can guess what their ending will be without even thinking about it.
It will definitely be terrible!
Li Mu was unwilling, but he finally issued the order.
Since ancient times, a kind-hearted person cannot command an army.
At such a necessary moment, even the gentle and humble boy back then could still sacrifice forty or fifty thousand people in exchange for the survival of the large army!
Soon, as some people were left behind to cover the rear, the remaining Zhao and Wei coalition forces were able to withdraw smoothly.
Bai Qi looked at the piece of fat meat thrown by the enemy and said with a faint smile: "Sure enough, such a decision was made. A general should have such a decisiveness. This young general is indeed quite courageous."
"I don't know your name, but I am very satisfied with your resistance today."
"You're sending these people to me to kill? Humph, do you really think I will kill them?"
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes. He did not intend to continue the pursuit and kill all the allied forces of Zhao and Wei.
That would be too greedy. Greed is a general's big taboo. The principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy and knowing when to stop is simple but difficult to do.
However, for Bai Qi, there would obviously be no such problem. He hated any risky behavior, so he didn't want to continue the pursuit at all.
The so-called pursuit of victory requires some prerequisites, such as the opponent being unable to form a formation, then you can pursue with confidence.
Bai Qi left the tent, rode his horse, and soon saw the army behind him.
At this moment, these enemy troops at the rear had been completely surrounded under Bai Qi's command.
According to his previous style of doing things, Bai Qi would probably be impatient to chop off these people's heads and then kill them all.
But now, Bai Qi restrained his murderous intent.
Bai Qi glanced at the deputy general next to him and said calmly: "Surrender!"
Bai Qi's deputy general was Meng Tian.
This new general was a favorite of King Zheng of Qin and had a good understanding, so Bai Qi trained him from time to time. How much he could learn depended on Meng Tian himself.
At this moment, Meng Tian was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Bai Qi strangely, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong. Surrender? Is this something Bai Qi could say?
"Are you going to pretend to surrender? And then kill them all?" Meng Tian asked cautiously.
Bai Qi: “…”
He glanced at Meng Tian impatiently and said, "I asked you to surrender, so surrender!"
"This... okay." Meng Tian nodded. Although he couldn't believe it, it seemed to be the fact.
At this moment, the surrounded coalition forces were extremely desperate.
When they were thrown out to cover the rear, and the main forces of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces quickly left, these tens of thousands of people gradually realized their situation. They were abandoned! They were used as bait and given to the Qin army!
Next, only death awaits them, and they will become the military merits of the Qin army!
In desperation, many people lost their fighting spirit, gave up resistance, and simply waited for death.
Of course, there are also many people who are ready to bite the Qin army before they die, and even if they die, they will take someone else with them.
Just at this moment.
Meng Tian shouted loudly: "You are just abandoned pawns. Your death is meaningless at this moment. Don't continue to resist. Give up resistance and surrender! Don't make meaningless struggles!"
After hearing the Qin army's call to surrender, many members of the coalition forces looked much better. Who would want to die if they could survive?
After all, those who are generous and tragic are a minority.
The captain of the coalition forces was also stunned for a moment. He was very tempted and was about to accept the surrender, but suddenly he thought of something and his face changed immediately.
"No! Brothers, we can't surrender. Have you forgotten? Who is the general of the Qin army? It's Bai Qi!" the captain said hurriedly.
After these words were spoken, the faces of the soldiers who had originally wanted to surrender became firm again.
Soon, the captain said to Meng Tian: "Don't pretend to surrender. How could Bai Qi keep the surrendered troops? I almost believed your lies!!"
Meng Tian: “…”
It must be said that what the captain said made a lot of sense, and Meng Tian was speechless for a moment.
Even Meng Tian couldn't believe that Bai Qi actually surrendered.
This is not his style at all!
Meng Tian was helpless. He thought for a while before he shouted, "Brothers, it's been so many years. Wu'an Hou is old and doesn't want to kill so many people anymore, so I decided to recruit you to surrender!"
"Look, the Korean soldiers who surrendered to us, don't they live well?"
"If you still don't agree to surrender, then we will have no choice but to kill you all!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the coalition forces began to discuss whether they should surrender or not.
They discussed this issue for a while and finally decided to surrender to the Qin army.
To their surprise, the Qin army actually accepted their surrender!
Soon, these tens of thousands of allied forces became prisoners of the Qin army.
When Li Mu heard the news, he was a little bit incredulous and said in astonishment: "They actually surrendered? This is not Bai Qi's style. He didn't even kill them?!"
More than 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed that year. This incident had a great impact on Li Mu's young mind. In his opinion, if these people were left behind to cover the rear, they would have no chance of surviving.
However, Bai Qi actually surrendered.
This is really weird...
At this moment, Li Mu obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
He couldn't understand why the Qin army would surrender.
The reason is actually very simple.
This is Su Che's new strategy.
Since he wants to annex the whole world, he is not the king of Qin alone, but the king of the whole world. As long as they surrender, they will be his own army. In this case, why should he kill them?
The situation is no longer the same as it was in the past. Back then, we annihilated the enemy in order to consume their manpower and prevent them from organizing themselves in a short period of time. But it is different now.
So, Bai Qi changed his style.
He wanted to prove with facts that he was not a bloodthirsty person, it was just his old habit. Now that times had changed, he could just get rid of the bad habit.
Soon, when Meng Tian came back, Bai Qi glanced at him and asked calmly: "How dare you say I'm old?"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Tian's face became very interesting. He quickly said, "Marquis Wu'an, I didn't mean that. I just said that in order to succeed in the surrender. This is definitely not what I really mean..."
"I didn't say anything, why are you so scared? I am indeed old, and there is nothing I can't say." Bai Qi snorted.
Meng Tian heaved a sigh of relief, but then he heard Bai Qi continue, "You are responsible for rectifying the surrendered troops. If you don't do a good job, you will be punished by military law!"
After hearing this, Meng Tian could only bite the bullet and respond: "I will obey your orders!"
at the same time.
On the way back, Li Mu kept thinking about a question: why did the Qin army's cavalry become so strong?
Cavalry has always been the proud signature of Zhao State, but now it has been easily surpassed by Qin State. This makes Li Mu feel very bad.
It was precisely because of the strength of the Qin cavalry that they failed to use the cavalry to cover the retreat and had to abandon so many soldiers.
Thinking about it now, Li Mu still feels a pang of pain.
I learned from the cavalry that the Qin soldiers rode their horses as if they were walking on flat ground, very steadily, as if they were stepping on something...
What are you stepping on...?
"This must be the reason why the Qin cavalry is so powerful."
Li Mu was so confident, but it was a pity that they were not qualified to clean up the battlefield and had no way to crack the secret of the Qin cavalry's strength!
"This is an important piece of information. Although so many people died, we can avoid suffering a lot less losses on the front battlefield in the future."
Li Mu comforted himself in this way.
…
With the collapse of South Korea.
The whole world was shocked.
The first to learn the news were the kings.
But such big news could not be covered up, so gradually, ministers, scholars, and even ordinary people knew about it.
This is the first time in all these years that a country has been destroyed.
Since the three families divided Jin, the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period", with Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei as the main seven most powerful vassal states, gradually annexed all other weak countries. Since then, even though wars continued to break out, the country has always been in a state of balance.
And now, the destruction of South Korea is undoubtedly big news.
In addition, what people talk about most is that Han was not destroyed by Qin, but was destroyed by a surrendered Korean general.
The Koreans destroyed Korea and then handed it over to the Qin State.
This Korean man is called Wang Teng.
To a certain extent, General Wang Teng made his name remembered by the whole world in a unique way. As a result, he was rewarded with a title of nobility and became a general of the Qin army.
This was a groundbreaking event that got people all over the world talking about it.
Some people blamed the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, while others blamed Wang Teng for his regicide and betrayal, which was an act that was despised by the people of the world!
The name Wang Teng gradually became an insult to others.
Don’t be too Wang Teng!
This became a joke among the other five countries.
Even in Qin and Han, many people looked down on this villain who killed the king for fame and fortune!
Even some ministers began to advise the King of Qin to kill this villain and give an explanation to the whole world!
Even if we can't kill him, we definitely can't give him importance. This person has made a very bad start. How can we give important positions to such a villain?
In this era, human quality is very important. It is normal to become the target of public criticism after doing such crazy things.
This made Wang Teng very uncomfortable.
He was indeed successful, and became a marquis with great fame and honor, but his reputation was completely ruined. This made Wang Teng extremely depressed, and he drank all day to drown his sorrows.
In Wang Teng's view, he chose to surrender in order to save the Han army from being slaughtered by the Qin army.
But the problem is that he was a surrendered general, but he obtained military power, took the initiative to seize the land of Han and gave it to the King of Qin. To outsiders, such actions were all his own initiative for power and profit. Otherwise, how could the King of Qin trust you, a surrendered general?
However.
Who knows, he really has no choice...
The King of Qin believed in him unconditionally from the beginning, so he had no choice but to go down this path to the end!
Soon, Su Che summoned Wang Teng.
The distressed Wang Teng met the King of Qin.
Su Che smiled and said to him, "I heard that you drink to relieve your sorrow all day long. Why is that?"
"Your Majesty, this is because everyone in the world looks down on me. Everyone thinks that I am a traitor..." Wang Teng said slowly, with a distressed expression.
"It's okay. I understand you. You freed Korea from the tyranny of the King of Han and gave it to me to govern in order to save the Korean soldiers and the Korean people from the suffering of war." Su Che smiled and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Teng's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing this. He was blamed by the world, and even his old mother insulted him, saying that without him as her son, it was as if the world was so big, but there was no place for him alone!
And now, King Zheng of Qin could actually understand his thoughts and difficulties, which made Wang Teng particularly moved.
Su Che continued, "No one in the world can understand you, but I know you are definitely not a traitor. You are doing this for the Koreans, but the Koreans cannot understand you. This is really wrong."
Wang Teng said quickly: "As long as the king knows that I am not that kind of person, I will be satisfied! It doesn't matter if the world can't understand me? The people of the world are just mediocre people, only the king is a saint!"
Su Che shook his head and said, "How could I let a loyal minister like you suffer such an injustice? Don't worry, I will make it clear to the world that what you did was for Korea, not to sell out for fame and fortune!"
"I will clear your name!"
Wang Teng was so moved that he burst into tears and immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is a wise king. I am willing to die for you!"
Su Che smiled slightly and said, "You can step down. I will take care of this matter."
Originally, Su Che was planning to reverse the current reputation of the Qin State, and Wang Teng was just a convenient step.
But he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity, so he summoned him and did some PUA on him, letting him know that the whole world criticized him and he was the only one who supported him.
This also made Wang Teng completely become Su Che's loyal follower. Such a chess piece could not be more useful.
soon.
The spies and intelligence planted by the Qin State began to spread the news that Qin Wangzheng was the son of destiny...
The general content is as follows.
King Zheng of Qin was a sage king who was blessed by heaven and was one of the few sage kings in ancient and modern times!
At the age of two, he was able to lift the siege of Handan in Zhao State, saving hundreds of thousands of lives in Zhao State.
At the age of six, he was able to debate with Xunzi. They were evenly matched for a while, and he was even the better of the two, which made Xunzi admire him very much.
He came to power at the age of thirteen, and was able to kill his own relatives for the sake of the people in Qin who were persecuted by the nobles, and endure the pain of executing them.
Later, King Zheng of Qin heard that the people of Han were suffering from the oppression of the King of Han and there was resentment in the country. The King of Han first insulted the King of Qin and then stood on the side of the King of Qin. He was truly an erratic villain. How could such a villain be worthy of being called king?
Therefore, King Zheng of Qin had no choice but to enter Han and accept the surrender of Han's troops.
In order to protect Korea from the disasters of war and for the sake of Korea's soldiers and civilians, the generals of Korea resolutely gave up their own reputations, took all the blame on themselves, and handed Korea over to the hands of the King of Qin!
Because Wang Teng of Han knew that the King of Qin was a man with the mandate of heaven, and that only under the rule of King Qin Zheng could Han live and work in peace and prosperity and become a rich and strong country!
Under the influence of King Zheng of Qin, even Bai Qi, the butcher who had killed countless people, was willing to lay down his knife and accept the surrender of the troops from Zhao and Wei.
This series of statements, which was a mixture of truth and falsehood, quickly caused an uproar.
The reputation of the Qin State, the King of Qin, and even Wang Teng, improved almost visibly.
With Su Che's continuous investment, a war of public opinion has begun!
Originally, in the propaganda of the six countries, the tyrannical Qin and the cruel and unjust King Qin were almost the norm.
The simple and unpretentious old Qin people have always focused on their development, not caring about their reputation or not, and never thinking about changing.
Of course, according to the previous situation, it couldn't be changed even if we wanted to.
But now it's different.
With the emergence of King Zheng of Qin, everything began to change.
In an already fixed public opinion, a sudden reversal, especially one that seems very "real", is the easiest to believe.
In order to show their uniqueness, many guys even took the initiative to help the Qin State as "navy"!
At the same time, under Su Che's instruction, another rumor began to spread in Wei State -
When Zhao general Li Mu led the coalition forces to face the Qin army, because he was afraid of death, he directly used the Wei soldiers as bait and threw them out, allowing the Zhao army to retreat first!
When the news spread, the King of Wei was furious and sent a letter to the King of Zhao, asking the general Li Mu why he left the Wei army behind and caused the loss of so many troops.
Such a thing is difficult to explain under the spread of rumors. Even though Li Mu explained it and even produced factual evidence, the King of Wei still did not believe it.
It's not that I don't want to believe it.
In the final analysis, he was just using this as an excuse to make trouble and demand compensation. After all, the Wei State had lost so many soldiers, and that was a fact!
But why would Zhao be willing to pay compensation?
Without a doubt.
The relationship between Zhao and Wei deteriorated rapidly.
The relationship among the Three Jins was average to begin with, not very close, and they only united when facing the Qin army.
Su Che seized this opportunity and directly ordered Bai Qi, who was still in charge of the situation in Han, to send troops to attack Wei!
The battle to destroy Wei is about to begin!
