Chapter 538: In this battle! I am willing to be a general! Please allow it, Your Majesty!
"Your Majesty, do you still remember what you promised me?"
Inside the carriage, Xia Wuqie was boiling medicine over a low fire, and he tilted his head to look at the fire.
The second emperor was wearing a bright yellow gown, through which one could see a large black cloth wrapped around his waist. He had his eyes closed and was resting.
"I said that I want to have doctors with students all over the world, so that everyone can be treated by a doctor ."
In summer, fan yourself lightly with a bamboo fan.
"I wish that people in the world would be free of disease, and I would rather let the medicine on the shelf be covered with dust. When will what Your Majesty said come true..."
“Soon.”
Ying Chengjiao opened his eyes and looked at the little old man with white hair who was less than 40 years old and insisted on getting on the car to boil the medicine himself.
"When this war is over and the country is unified, medicine and medicine will be available to the people."
Xia Wuqie fanned at the set frequency to control the heat of the medicine and sighed softly.
"All six countries are in rebellion. It will take at least three to five years to finish the war."
He is young and can afford to wait, but many great medical experts are already in their octogenarians.
Medicine is difficult to learn and master. The loss of one of these masters would be a great loss for Xia Wuqie, who is committed to promoting medicine, changing the way of medical inheritance, and ensuring that people all over the world can be cured.
"Old man Xia, different trades are like different mountains. You are a master at treating illnesses and saving lives, but you are a complete amateur at marching and fighting.
"Three to five years may not be too slow for you, but I still think it is too slow."
Ying Chengjiao was laughing and shaking his head, but his body did not move.
"There is a bird on a hill in the south. For three years it has not winged, has not flown, has not chirped, and is completely silent. What is its name?
"Even if it doesn't fly, it will soar into the sky. Even if it doesn't sing, its singing will be startling. I want to snatch the three words blitzkrieg from Germany and engrave them into the History of Qin.
"You are a master of healing and saving lives. Just watch. In a year at most, the world will be at peace."
In the Battle of Linji, both the Qin and Wei armies suffered casualties.
Excluding the dead soldiers and the surrendered soldiers who were unwilling to be dismissed on the spot, the Qin army reached 220,000 people.
The second emperor disbanded all the more than 20,000 Linji surrendered soldiers and incorporated them into the Qin army of nearly 200,000.
Having witnessed the Qin army's actions in Linji and seen with their own eyes the King of Qin stabbing his sword into his abdomen for the sake of them and the people of Linji, the surrendered soldiers who were willing to risk their lives to reorganize the army had no objections and obeyed the orders obediently.
If life could be peaceful, who would want to be displaced?
But if they have enough food and warm clothing, who would join the soldiers in rebellion?
Following such a king, they felt at ease and were willing to give up being Wei people and become Qin people.
When the country cannot guarantee the basic life of its people. When the superiors enjoy themselves comfortably, call the people pariahs, and laugh at the pariahs' struggles for fun.
No citizen is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.
You regard the people as grass, and the people regard you as an enemy.
What's the point of restoring such a Wei Kingdom?
They were willing to become the subjects of the King of Qin and fight for him who took the blame for his soldiers.
The two emperors led 40,000 troops themselves, and the nine Qin generals each led 20,000 troops, divided into ten routes.
In this world, the most capable country is Qin, and the most capable generals are the Qin generals.
Ten Qin generals fell to Wei. With more than half of Wei's elite troops defecting to join the Qin army, Wei's fate was foreseeable.
Some countries have not yet perished, but they have already perished.
The ten Qin armies were unstoppable, and there was not a single city that could stop them for even a day, let alone resistance.
Linji has a three-meter-high city wall, which was specially built by half of the Wei State's national strength in Zhoushi. Other county towns can have a city wall of three meters high if they are properly maintained on a daily basis.
Each of the ten Qin generals had his own tactics.
Meng Tian took steady steps, surrounded three sides and left one side open, first attacked the heart of the city and then took it down. He was well versed in the essence of military tactics.
If military strategists had a textbook, this could be included as an example.
Meng Tian's loyal follower Li Xin is brave and radical.
First survey the enemy's strength. Once it is determined that they are not strong enough to fight, immediately send the entire army to surround them from all sides and take them by surprise.
The two county towns were about to surrender, and the county magistrates were waiting for the Qin army to arrive and submit to the royal army, but their own gates were breached and the black-armored Qin army poured in. The surrender was not as fast as the city was breached.
Although Li Xin was brave, the bravest one was still Fan Kuai.
This dog-slaying general was always the first to fight. He captured seven cities and was the first to ascend the city seven times. In every battle, he beheaded more than ten people.
Guiguzi Wang Chan, who followed Ying Chengjiao's trail and came to Wei State in secret, looked at Fan Kuai fighting bloodily, his butcher knife turned bright red after every battle, and had an inexplicable expression on his face.
"Wei State prospered because of you, but after its prosperity it discarded you like a worn-out shoe.
"Now you have become the bravest man to bury the State of Wei. I wonder if every sip and bite is destined by heaven."
Guiguzi had only seen two people with Pojun fate in his life, one was Fan Kuai of the Wei State, and the other was Wu Qi of the Wei State in the past.
Fan Kuai, who was enjoying the killing, was now naked and shirtless. He became even more courageous and had no one to match him.
This dog-slaying general, who had seen Ying Chengjiao lead a charge against the Xiongnu, put his knowledge into practice, became the second general in the world to lead a charge, and used only this one tactic for most of his life.
With a commander leading the charge fearlessly, in terms of morale alone, the 20,000 Qin troops led by Fan Kuai were the leader of the ten Qin armies.
The first guy who led the charge sighed as he looked at the battle report. He also wanted to charge into battle wearing the silver armor of the explosion-proof soldier, but he couldn't.
The penetrating wound to the abdomen was not the main obstacle. The main obstacle was a young doctor with a head full of white hair.
The imperial physician ordered Xia Wuqi to accompany the king. This was the condition that the generals agreed to let this young man stay on the battlefield. Without a top master to supervise him, who could bear another self-destruction to establish his authority?
Fan Kuai's elder brother Liu Bang was no less impressive this time as he led the army alone.
Compared with his younger brother who was born with the fate of Pojun, Liu Bang, who was named Chidi by Guiguzi, had few military achievements in killing enemies, but was the most favored by the second emperor.
This ruffian general led his army through villages, towns, towns and counties, using loudspeakers to spread propaganda along the way, exaggerating the fact that Ying Chengjiao spared the lives of those who surrendered and did not harm the people in the slightest.
In the eyes of Liu Bang's 20,000 Qin troops, Ying Chengjiao was the reincarnation of Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang, a benevolent man who is invincible. This time the royal army marched eastward only to eliminate those traitors.
It was difficult for common people to move around in the towns and villages of the counties, but the superiors would naturally not be restricted. As long as they sent people to the places that the Qin army had conquered, they could find out whether the news was true or false.
The spy rode the fastest horse to the captured county town, took a quick tour of the city and saw that it was more prosperous than ever before. This was enough to prove that Liu Bang was not lying, so he immediately turned around and reported back.
The Qin army's attack speed is too fast, and we must seize every second.
Soon, many villages, townships, towns and counties, upon learning the news was true, all opened their gates to welcome the royal army. The ruffian general defeated the enemy without fighting, with the least fighting and the fastest advance.
Unfortunately, these impatient nobles who surrendered with their people did not know that the Qin army would not harm the civilians, and would not spare any nobles. They surrendered happily and lost their lives in vain.
In his grave, he might regret that he shouldn't have been so impatient and should have let the spies find out more information.
No matter what tactics the ten armies used, they lived in harmony with the people wherever they passed, fought against the local tyrants, divided the land, stationed outside the city, and acted strictly in accordance with the strategies of the second emperor.
No one can forget the day when the Qin King’s sword, which symbolized the Qin State’s orthodoxy and supreme power, was covered with Qin King’s blood.
When the State of Wei was rapidly falling, Ji Bu, who rode at full speed and wished to eat and sleep on horseback, finally arrived at Yingdu.
He first met Xiang Liang, the prime minister and pillar of the Chu State, and then slept soundly all night as ordered by Xiang Liang.
When Ji Bu woke up again, he sniffed and his expression immediately became solemn. He smelled a scent of blood.
This is Lingyin Mansion. Even the royal palace is not as safe as this place. How come there is such a lingering smell of blood?
With doubt and vigilance, he stood up and called for help.
The servant responded, stepped inside, and bowed respectfully.
Ji Bu looked at the servant's face. Although he couldn't remember his name, it was indeed a familiar face. There were few servants in Lingyin's mansion that he had not seen before.
He naturally let go of the dagger in his hand and took his hand out of his arms.
"Why does the house smell like blood?"
The servants lowered their heads even lower.
This was an apology, a question he knew the answer to but could not answer.
As a servant in a big family, being diligent is secondary; the most important thing is to keep a tight mouth.
Know what to say and what not to say.
Otherwise, if you bring about a disaster that will kill you, it would be fine if you die. But if it is a disaster that will wipe out your entire clan, and you harm the entire clan, you will be killed again by your clan members in the underworld.
Ji Bu closed his eyes, lowered his head and frowned, waved his hand vigorously, and said irritably:
"Go down, go down!"
"only."
The servant prostrated himself on the ground, speaking with gratitude in his voice, and backed out of the room.
Ji Bu lifted the quilt and stood up from the bed, carefully sorting out his clothes.
Although he was a rough man, he knew that he should not be rude when meeting Lord Lingyin.
In Lingyin's mansion, nothing can be hidden from Lingyin, not even the dead, and certainly not even Ji Bu when he wakes up.
"From now on, there will be no more Wei Wuzu in the world."
Xiang Liang walked into the house and said to Ji Bu who was bowing respectfully.
Ji Bu raised his head, with shock clearly visible on his face.
Xiang Liang stretched out his right thumb, passed it over his right shoulder, and pointed outside the house.
"The last forty-seven are all here."
From Wei to Chu, there were many dangers and obstacles amidst wars.
In order to protect Ji Bu and ensure that Ji Bu could pass on the information as quickly as possible without delay, three of the fifty Wei soldiers were killed.
"Sir, the Qin army is as fierce as wolves and tigers. If we don't unite to resist them, we will be defeated one by one!"
Ji Bu, who had seen chariots, hot air balloons and wooden kites, did not expect Ling Yin to be so reckless and directly kill 47 Wei Wu soldiers. This move was tantamount to completely destroying the possibility of an alliance with the Wei State.
As a proud Chu man, Ji Bu never doubted the strength of his country. But facing the flying Qin army, he had no idea how Chu could win.
"Linji, which held half of the country's strength, was defeated in less than a day. During the time you were on the road, Wei lost at least half of its territory."
Xiang Liang paced back and forth, with his speaking rhythm almost identical to his walking rhythm.
"Even if the Chu State sent troops, they would only be devoured. You were able to escape not because of these fifty Wei soldiers, but because the King of Qin deliberately wanted you to escape."
Ji Bu's pupils shrank.
Xiang Liang stopped and turned to look at Ji Bu, and their eyes met.
"I just don't believe that an army of 200,000 can't surround a small Linji City! Want to surround it and attack the reinforcements? Dream on!"
Ji Bu recalled the process of escaping from Linji City. He fled through the city gate and there were indeed no Qin soldiers blocking his way along the way.
Previously, he thought he was lucky to have escaped before the Qin army formed a circle. After hearing Lord Ling Yin's analysis, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.
He had been in Linji for quite a while, so the Qin army was confident that they could quickly capture Linji. With 200,000 Qin troops, that much time was enough to surround Linji three times!
Unknowingly , Ji Bu almost became the sword used by Qin to strike down the State of Chu!
Xiang Liang faced west with his back to Ji Bu, so that this capable subordinate could not see the fear in his eyes.
"King of Qin, Ying Chengjiao.
"insect.
"What a poisonous insect!"
In the palace of the King of Chu, a child was sitting on the throne. He looked to be only about ten years old.
The child's exposed skin was very rough, and he did not look like a pampered member of the royal family, but he was the genuine King of Chu, Xiong Xin.
Before becoming king, Xiong Xin's previous job was herding sheep.
The royal court was all red, and the fire-worshipping Chu officials wore red robes.
Ji Bu was standing near the door at the bottom of the hall, and had just finished telling about what he had seen and experienced in Linji.
"If one is alone, the other will be in danger! We must protect Wei! With Wei standing in front of us against Qin, our Chu will have a future!"
"It's ridiculous that he can fly down from the sky! This person must be a spy from the Qin State!"
"The Yunmeng Lake in Chu is surrounded by mountains and waters, and there are 178 dangerous places such as miasma and swamps. As long as Chu stands firm, who can break it?"
“…”
There was a bustle of activity, everyone was saying what they wanted, and the place was in chaos.
“That’s enough!”
Xiang Liang shouted loudly, and the noise died down immediately, and most of the Chu officials fell silent.
There were only a few fat and old-looking Chu officials left who acted as they pleased and ignored Xiang Liang, the prime minister.
Xiang Liang's sharp eyes were like knives, but their target was not those old ministers, but King Xiong Xin of Chu.
The King of Chu, who was born a shepherd, put his fist to his mouth and pretended to be old.
"Ahem, please stop for a moment."
Several old ministers who did not listen to Xiang Liang's words immediately bowed slightly, said "Yes", and kept silent.
Xiang Liang bowed, and he was the only one speaking in the court hall.
"The people said: A hundred pounds of gold is not as good as a promise from Ji Bu.
"Whether Ji Bu's words are true or false, there is no need to discuss this. If even Ji Bu's words are not trustworthy, who else can we trust?
"I have discovered from the Book of Lu Ban that the flying tool used by Qin was called wooden kite. This tool is light and agile. Without a person on board, it can fly from bottom to top around the beam for three days. With a person on board, it can only fly from top to bottom, so it is not a big deal.
"The current emergency is whether to aid Wei or not.
"I think that if Zhou Shi was still alive and Wei was still strong, we would have helped Wei. But now Zhou Shi and most of Wei's troops have died in Linji. At this moment, Wei is in the abyss. Helping them is tantamount to sending them to their own death!
"With the strength of the Qin army, if we put all our efforts into it, we should have destroyed Wei. The fact that Wei is still there is just a bait to lure our Chu to send troops to rescue it, and then kill our Chu men in Wei!
"King Qin Ying Chengjiao is vicious and extremely evil. Long before he ascended the throne, he spread rumors in Yingdu, making it difficult for us to restore the country of Chu. He is just like his name, a poisonous insect!
"Your Majesty, you must be careful. If you fall into their trap, it will be like being bitten by a gnat and you will die!
"At present, I think we should take advantage of the Qin army's invasion of Wei to attack Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu is a fake country that has seized the people of our Great Chu. The fate of our country has been long-standing. If we destroy it, our Great Chu will be intact and we will have the strength to fight against the Qin dogs!
"I am willing to be the general in this battle! Please allow me, Your Majesty!"
