Chapter 252: New Pattern of the Warring States Period
May 24,
Li Mu led his troops to capture Hangu Pass and destroy the rear fortress of Wang Jian's army.
June 10,
The 7th and 8th Corps of the Nanyue Army completed a large-scale sweep west of Xianyang. Following the order from King Qin Mo of Yue, the 8th Corps of the Nanyue Army was stationed in western Guanzhong.
The Seventh Corps of the South Vietnamese Army immediately marched eastward and was placed under the command of General Lian Po.
Before this, the two generals Lian Po and Li Mu had attacked from the east and west sides respectively, using a village, a town, and a city as strongholds, and constantly compressed the space for Wang Jian's army to move.
The latter fell into a food crisis.
…
Xianyang, Royal Palace.
In the courtyard, Qin Mo looked up at the sky, his eyes leisurely: "It should be about time, right?"
"Wang Jian's army is already a group of trapped beasts. If we continue to force them, they will inevitably launch a final attack in order to break the current encirclement and fight their way out." The speaker was Jia Xu.
After signing a truce treaty with the State of Chu, Jia Xu and his party went to Xianyang.
Anyone with eyes can see it.
With the demise of Qin, Chu and Yue openly broke off relations, and the Five-Nation Alliance had come to an end. There was no point in Jia Xu and his party staying in Daliang.
Just come back and help.
Xun Yu, who was stationed in Xianyang, had been so busy that he had barely slept for a month.
In order to suppress the rebellions in various places, more than 10,000 players were involved, more than 20 people were unfortunately killed, and more than 300 people were injured.
It is also the biggest action taken by the player.
certainly,
The rewards are also extremely generous.
In the counties and prefectures in the western part of Guanzhong that had been pacified, Qin Mo awarded all the vacant posts of pavilion chief, county lieutenant, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county lieutenant, county lieutenant, and county governor to players who had made contributions.
Many people achieve success overnight and get a lucrative job that brings long-term experience points.
"Let's start!" Qin Mo let out a long roar.
Slightly tilted,
The black dragon Ao Que, which was foraging for food in the Qinling Mountains, flew over the palace and coiled in a circle.
For the Black Dragon,
The people of Xianyang had long since changed from their initial panic to curiosity and pursuit. Every time the black dragon appeared in the sky over Xianyang, it would cause a lot of talk.
black,
But that’s the basic character of the old Qin people.
Qin Mo flew through the air, landed on the back of the black dragon, and rode away.
Slightly tilted,
The man and the dragon came to the sky above Liyang City. Looking down from above the clouds, the people inside and outside the city were as small as ants and could not be seen clearly.
A murderous aura, mixed with unyielding spirit and stubbornness, permeated the sky above the city.
It's worthy of being the Qin Army.
Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged. He opened the dimensional space, took out huge cardboard boxes and threw them on the black dragon's back. It was obvious at a glance that these were not things that could be produced in this world.
They were all moved by Qin Mo from reality.
Then, under Qin Mo's control, the cardboard box fell rapidly towards the city below. While still in mid-air, it was torn apart by the hurricane, and countless pieces of paper floated out.
Those were more than 200,000 surrender leaflets that Qin Mo had carefully prepared.
It was stated that as long as the Qin soldiers surrendered voluntarily, the Yue State would retain their previous military titles and at the same time guarantee the safety of their families.
on the contrary,
If you are captured as a prisoner of war in the future, you will not lose your life, but your military merit and title will be reset to zero and will not be recognized.
This move hit the Qin army's weak spot.
The Qin State rose to power with Shang Yang's reforms, and the Qin army became stronger because of the "granting of titles for military merit." The greatest motivation for every Qin soldier to go into battle and kill the enemy was to gain military merit and then become a titled lord from a commoner.
Qin Mo had never known how to undermine the resistance of Wang Jian's army.
at last,
It was Zhou Shihong who gave him the idea of using modern warfare to distribute leaflets to persuade people to surrender.
Flyers and pieces of paper fluttered down like snowflakes, scattering all over the city of Liyang and inside and outside the military camp. Although most of them were blown away by the wind, many were still picked up by people.
Once it was picked up, the news spread quickly.
By the time Wang Jian received the news and wanted to control public opinion, it was too late.
"General, what should we do now?" Upon hearing the news, Wang Ben, Li Xin, Meng Tian and other young and brave generals all came to the central military tent, wanting to ask Wang Jian for advice.
"There's something wrong with the soldiers' eyes." said the careful Meng Tian.
After Wang Jian issued a temporary ban, the camp, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became quiet again. However, the atmosphere became more and more weird, and the soldiers exchanged understanding glances.
"This move by the State of Yue is really too insidious." Wang Ben was furious.
"General, how about we just fight our way out?" Li Xin was the most impulsive of the three.
Wang Jian raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Kill, where to kill?"
“…”
The soldiers were silent.
Before this, none of them would have imagined that one day they would have nowhere to go in their own country.
With the fall of Hangu Pass, Wugu Pass and Sanguan Pass were previously occupied by the Yue army. The closed geographical location of the Guanzhong Plain suddenly became the grave of Wang Jian's army.
There is nowhere to escape.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death," Wang Ben said generously, clasping his fists, "Father, organize a breakout tonight. Kill as many barbarians as you can, and it will be considered as not letting you down."
“No way.”
Wang Jian seemed to have aged a lot. "If it was before, maybe I could still fight. But in this situation, how many soldiers will fight to the death when we break out? How many soldiers will turn against us in the middle of a battle?"
Not all Qin people are afraid of death, especially those who are clearly seeking death.
"So what should we do?"
Wang Ben had a vague premonition of something and felt very uneasy.
"Surrender."
Wang Jian was silent for a long time, and finally said the embarrassing words, "We can fight to the death, but the blood of the old Qin people cannot be shed in vain, so let's leave some seeds behind."
"Father, please don't!"
With a thud, Wang Ben fell to his knees with a sad expression.
Li Xin and Meng Tian also knelt down.
The three of them were the new generation of generals of the Qin State and they could not accept such a humiliating surrender.
"Don't say any more. I have made up my mind." Wang Jian took a tough attitude and directly drove the three people out of the tent. At the same time, he ordered the guards to not allow anyone to set foot in the tent again.
…
It's night.
After issuing the order to surrender, Wang Jian committed suicide in the big tent.
One of the most meritorious generals in the history of the Qin State and one of the four famous generals in the Warring States Period died silently in an inconspicuous corner outside the city of Liyang.
The next morning,
When the guards discovered Wang Jian's cold body, there was an uproar in the army.
The three brave generals had different opinions. Wang Ben vowed to fight on behalf of his father and avenge his father's death; Li Xin, who was the most radical before, chose to surrender very straightforwardly.
Meng Tian led his troops and was somewhat hesitant, not knowing whether to fight or surrender.
At this moment, the Yue army, which had been eyeing the enemy from the periphery, launched the final general attack on Wang Jian's army, rushing towards Liyang from all directions.
The two sides fought for five days.
At the end of the war, Wang Ben died on the battlefield, Li Xin surrendered voluntarily, Meng Tian was defeated and captured, and more than 200,000 of the 300,000 Qin soldiers surrendered, and most of the rest were captured.
Tens of thousands died in the battle.
…
With Wang Jian's army being defeated by the State of Yue, this round of turmoil in the Warring States period was coming to an end.
The Five-Nation Alliance initiated by the State of Yue achieved an unprecedented victory, completely destroyed the previously invincible State of Qin, and divided up the Qin land together.
The State of Yue had its homeland in Qin, the States of Qi and Yan divided up the State of Zhao, and the State of Wei had the State of Han alone.
Only the Chu State was the most miserable...
With the end of the war, the Warring States world is about to enter a long period of peace.
The four countries of Qi, Yue, Yan and Wei were all busy digesting the spoils of war, especially Qi, Yan and Wei, which not only had to wipe out the remnants of the Qin State, but also had to deal with the waves of national restoration that rose one after another.
I'm so busy that I'm exhausted.
Especially after the dissolution of the alliance, the relations among the five countries became extremely delicate again.
Qi and Yan would inevitably continue to fight for control of Zhao, and there would be constant friction between them. Wei would also have to face the covetous Chu.
The four countries were also wary of the State of Yue.
If the four countries were not constantly in conflict with each other and had not had their own constraints, they would probably have joined hands again to fight against the rising Kingdom of Yue.
…
Longchuan City.
After annihilating Wang Jian's army, Qin Mo handed over the aftermath to Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Lian Po, Li Mu and others, and returned to Longchuan City first.
One is to show up openly in the royal city to appease the barbarians.
The previous invasion of Kuaiji County by the State of Chu had a certain impact on the barbarians' psychology, and they had to be appeased. After a period of time , Qin Mo would transfer the Nanyue army back to the land of Baiyue.
The second is to share the victory with the barbarians.
after,
Qin Mo came to Longyuan alone.
A year has passed, and Long Yuan is still the same Long Yuan, nothing has changed.
In the cave on the cliff, Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to see Qin Mo. "If I remember correctly, only a year has passed now, right?"
He thought that Qin Mo came to persuade them to surrender again.
"The Qin State has been destroyed. Isn't it time for Wu'an Jun to fulfill his promise?" Qin Mo said.
"impossible!"
Bai Qi subconsciously didn't believe it, and seeing Qin Mo's serious expression, his heart trembled again.
Qin Mo briefly recounted the story of the five nations' invasion of Qin.
“…”
Bai Qi felt bitter and felt his faith collapse.
He could never have imagined that the Qin State, which he thought was so powerful and invincible, would be conquered by the five countries in just one year.
The instigator was the newly rising Yue State.
"In my current state, can I still serve the King of Yue?" Bai Qi was exhausted and looked much older.
Qin Mo said: "In Guanzhong, there are more than 300,000 Qin prisoners of war waiting to be reorganized. I can't imagine who is more suitable than you to be the commander of this army."
He wanted to use Bai Qi's prestige to win over the Qin army.
As long as the Qin soldiers are truly loyal, the strength of the Yue army will not decrease but increase, and it will have the capital to challenge other countries and lay a solid foundation for unifying the world.
otherwise,
That is a huge hidden danger.
"Wu'an Jun doesn't want these old soldiers to gradually die, right?" Qin Mo added.
Bai Qi was silent for a long time, then stood up, carefully tidied his appearance, dusted off his body, and bowed deeply to Qin Mo with a serious expression: "Bai Qi, I pay my respects to the king!"
If you lose, you have to admit it.
Bai Qi felt guilty and felt that he had an obligation to inherit the legacy of the old Qin people.
Qin Mo endured it with peace of mind, feeling extremely happy...
