Chapter 235: Qin Mo Becomes King, Qin State Panics
Jianmen Pass was broken!
With the help of the Changping Yin soldiers, the seemingly indestructible Jianmen Pass was captured by Qin Mo and his troops in just one day.
More than 100,000 Qin troops stationed in Jiange were either killed or wounded.
Just as Qin Mo expected,
After revenge, except for the evil spirits whose minds had been completely blinded by violence, most of the fighting souls chose to reincarnate and did not enter Lingcui Peak again.
The soul nest inside suddenly became empty.
Qin Mo put away his magic weapon, and surrounded by his soldiers, he climbed up to Jiange, where he saw Bai Qi, who was covered in wounds.
Already unconscious.
" Sir, what should we do with this man?" Ao Lie was covered in blood, but looked excited.
It was obvious that he had enjoyed the killing just now.
“Leave it to me!”
Qin Mo stretched out his hand and took Bai Qi into the Jiutian Xuansha Pagoda, placing him in the three-story Jinshan Temple. He was ready to use the supreme Buddhist teachings to convert Bai Qi and eliminate the last bit of his hostility.
Repay the karma,
For Bai Qi, this may be an opportunity to be reborn from the ashes.
"Sir, after we take over Jianmen Pass, the road ahead will be smooth. Should we take advantage of the situation to attack Hanzhong?" Generals Ao Lie, Wu Zhi, Mi Tu and others were eager to try.
To be honest,
They really didn't expect that Vietnam would have such a glorious day.
Just after its establishment, it dared to challenge the most powerful Qin State, and won in a very easy way, completely shattering the myth of Qin State's hegemony.
Qin Mo shook his head, "It's easy to take Hanzhong, but it may not be possible to hold it."
Hanzhong is the heartland of Qin State. Once invaded, Qin State will certainly do its best to stop it, and even transfer a large army from the front line of Wei State to fight a decisive battle with Yue State.
"Let's have a decisive battle. I don't think the Qin army is that strong." Ao Lie was a little cocky.
Qin Mo rebuked: "Stupid!"
Ao Lie looked embarrassed and didn't dare to refute.
Wu Zhi next to him turned his eyes and took the opportunity to say, "Your Excellency's point is that when two tigers fight, one will be injured. If we fight with Qin and both of us are injured , then the Shandong countries will pounce on us like a group of hungry wolves. Then, won't it be an advantage for others?"
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits." Mi Tu said calmly.
Ao Lie's face flushed red, and he secretly hated me in his heart, "These two bastards actually took advantage of my misfortune. They must be jealous that I took the credit for capturing Jianmen Pass!"
Qin Mo looked at the mountains in the distance with a far-reaching gaze, "Qin State is a fierce tiger. We were the first to kill the tiger, bit off a piece of fat from the tiger, and destroyed the tiger's prestige.
"Next, it's time for the wolves to go into battle."
He turned around and looked at Wu Zhi, "You will lead the Second Legion and be responsible for guarding Jianmen Pass."
"I obey your command!"
Takeori suddenly became excited and his heart started pounding.
Ao Lie's face suddenly turned pale...
Qin Mo looked at Mi Tu again, "You lead the Third Legion to set up camp under Jianmen Pass and prepare to reinforce Jiange. Make sure everything goes well."
"I obey your orders!"
Mi Tu also looked excited and clasped his fists together.
"My lord, then, what about me?" Ao Lie suddenly became anxious.
"you?"
Qin Mo glanced at Ao Lie and said, "In this battle, the First Legion made the greatest contribution and they deserve a reward!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Ao Lie's expression changed instantly, from worry to joy. He straightened his back and glanced at Wu Zhi and Mi Tu with deliberate pride.
Both of them had no expression on their faces.
"In view of the heavy losses suffered by the First Legion, you should rest here and follow the Prime Minister's orders later," Qin Mo said.
“…”
Ao Lie's expression froze instantly.
Takeori: “^_^”
Mi Tu: “^_^”
…
Xianyang, Royal Palace.
boom!!!
The table was smashed into pieces by Qin Wang Zheng.
In the hall,
The eunuchs serving him were all terrified and stood still, like statues.
In just a few days,
Bashu fell, Jianmen Pass was breached, Wu'an Jun was captured, and the Qin army lost over 200,000 men. The bad news that came one after another made the King of Qin dizzy.
Since he took power, King Zheng of Qin has never encountered such a setback.
Prime Minister Wei Liao was crawling on the ground, his forehead was bleeding, and the jade floor in front of him was stained red. He was almost about to commit suicide in the hall.
There was silence in the hall.
"Get up!"
The King of Qin looked cold, "Prime Minister, what do you think we should do now?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me." Wei Liao was still kneeling, not daring to stand up, but his mind was unusually calm. He said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that you immediately withdraw the army that is attacking Wei, abandon the land of Han and Zhao, and retreat to Hangu Pass."
“…”
The King of Qin stared at him, "Prime Minister, do you really think the situation is that bad?"
If we really follow Wei Liao's words, we will not hesitate to give up all the previous victories of Qin State and return to the original place. If we also count the lost land of Bashu...
It's even more backward than the previous dynasty.
How could he face the ancestors of the Qin State?
I'm afraid we will become the laughing stock of all countries.
Facing the murderous gaze of the King of Qin, Wei Liao did not retreat, and spoke earnestly: "Your Majesty, in the battle of Bashu alone, Qin lost 150,000 border troops and 100,000 elite troops. At present, the country is short of troops, with only 100,000 border troops temporarily mobilized. If Yue continues to invade Hanzhong, how can we resist it? Only rely on those border troops?"
“There is no need to call back all the troops, let alone abandon the old lands of Han and Zhao. Is the Prime Minister scared enough by the State of Yue?” The King of Qin still could not accept it.
In order to destroy Wei,
The Qin State dispatched an army of 800,000 elite soldiers.
"It's not just the Kingdom of Yue," Wei Liao said with a worried look on his face. "From the fact that the army of the Kingdom of Yue was not in a hurry to attack Hanzhong, we know that the Duke of Yue is not a person who is eager for quick success and will not rush to attack Hanzhong."
"Then what is there to worry about?" The King of Qin was even more confused.
"The more this happens, the more worried I am." Wei Liao was becoming more and more wary of the Duke of Yue whom he had never met before. "This is by no means to say that the Duke of Yue is timid, but it only proves that the Duke of Yue has bigger ambitions."
If you were really a coward, you wouldn't have sent troops to Shu.
"What is your intention?"
Wei Liao said word by word: "Unite Qi, Chu, Yan, and Wei, and have another five-nation invasion of Qin."
As for the two small countries of Song and Lu, they had always remained neutral and did not participate in the struggle for hegemony among the princes, so they were not included in the calculation.
“…”
The empty hall fell silent once again.
The King of Qin raised his eyebrows, his domineering look revealed, his eyes full of disdain: "Prime Minister, do you really think that Qi Chuyan and those clowns dare to jump out and fight back at this time?"
If they really had the courage, they should have organized a coalition when Qin conquered Han.
But it didn't.
Then they destroyed Zhao and attacked Wei, while the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Yan just stood by and watched.
I dared not move.
"I didn't dare to do it before, because I was afraid that someone would instigate me." Wei Liao said lightly.
"Someone with ulterior motives? The Prime Minister is referring to the Kingdom of Yue, right?"
"That's right." Wei Liao nodded. "In the battle of Bashu, Yue State has already publicized its military power and told the world that it dares to challenge Qin State. At this time, Yue State came forward to lobby..."
Prior to this,
It was not that Qi, Chu, Yan, Wei and other countries did not want to unite to destroy Qin, but there was no strong organizer who could find an opportunity to mobilize everyone.
Historically,
However, there were several attempts to unite and destroy Qin.
Even though these vassal states had declined to the extreme, there was no way they would just sit there and wait to be divided and destroyed by the Qin State.
Who doesn't have some temper?
"Yue country, Yue country!"
King Zheng of Qin gritted his teeth. He never expected that the clown in his eyes would grow up so quickly and bring so much trouble to the Qin State.
Damn it!
"Prime Minister, how many troops do you think we should send to conquer the Kingdom of Yue?" the King of Qin suddenly asked.
Wei Liao was obviously startled , and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, our previous understanding of Yue State is obviously different from the actual situation. I think we should find out the details of the opponent before making any plans."
"Hey, even Shang Jun was deceived." The King of Qin sneered.
Wei Liao did not dare to answer, and said: "Another point is that Jianmen Pass has been occupied by the Yue army. It would be extremely difficult to attack Shu."
The implication is,
However, he was not optimistic about the war to destroy Yue.
The King of Qin's expression became uglier and uglier. He felt extremely unhappy because he had no place to vent his anger. He said gloomily, "Are we just going to leave it alone?"
"yes!"
Wei Liao had a blank expression on his face.
At times like this, as the prime minister of the kingdom, he must always keep a clear head.
must,
Can't have fever...
"Okay, you step back first. Let me think about it carefully." The incident happened too suddenly and involved too many issues. The King of Qin found it difficult to make a decision.
He also needs to calm down and be calm.
"promise!"
Wei Liao bowed, said goodbye and left.
The hall became even quieter...
…
August 10th.
Jia Xu, the Prime Minister of Yue State, commanded the Nanyue army and surrounded and annihilated the last remaining force of Qin's border troops stationed in Shu under the city of Ba.
This also means that the State of Yue has completed its full occupation of Shu.
Almost at the same time, Qin Mo, who was far away at Jianmen Pass, received a reminder from the Heavenly Dao: "For your meritorious service in the expedition, you are granted the title of King of Yue, and experience points +12 million."
Qin Mo did not hesitate and directly consumed 10 million experience points to raise his cultivation to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm.
The entire Void Refining Stage requires 50 million experience points, which are divided into three stages: middle, late, and complete, which are 10 million, 15 million, and 25 million respectively.
Qin Mo was not sure whether he could break into the fusion stage in the Warring States subcontinent.
The road ahead is still long.
It was normal for Qin Mo to be promoted to King of Yue at this time, surpassing the Duke of Song and the Duke of Lu, and to be on par with the King of Qin, the King of Chu, the King of Qi, the King of Yan, and the King of Wei.
For the State of Yue, conquering the land of Bashu meant more than just adding two counties.
The land of Bashu was originally a land of abundance. It was cultivated by the Qin State for nearly a hundred years. It had a large population, densely cultivated land, rich products, and prosperous people.
One county can be equivalent to several counties.
The most important thing is that after taking over Bashu, the shortcomings of Yue State's small population and backward agriculture were greatly compensated, achieving perfect complementarity.
As long as the land of Bashu is consumed, the State of Yue will have strong soldiers and horses, sufficient food and grass, and will surpass Yan, Wei, Qi and other countries to become one of the most powerful vassal states in the world during the Warring States Period.
Qin Mo became king,
It seems natural.
