Qin Shi: I want all of the seven kingdoms!

Chapter 220 Chu Destroyed All Come Down!

In the tenth year of Qin Wangzheng, Shouchun City was destroyed, and Chu State perished.

The three armies of Qin, Qi and Yue join forces in Shouchun.

However, when entering Shouchun City, 20 Qi troops were ambushed by Qin and Yue troops, and the main general died on the spot.

Most of the 20 Qi army lost, and only a few thousand remnants fled.

But the remaining thousands of people failed to escape back to Linzi, not even Chudi, and were ambushed by peasant disciples on the way, and the entire Qi army was wiped out.

The news was covered up by the state of Qin, and the Qin army pretended to be the Qi army and returned victorious.

When the Qin army arrived at Linzi, the capital of the Qi State, the officials in charge of welcoming the victorious return discovered that the leader was not the general of the Qi State. of.

These people are not Qi Jun!
The state of Qi has not cultivated war preparations for many years, and it does not have many soldiers. It has organized a total of 20 troops to attack the state of Chu twice, and both times it was defeated.

Some soldiers fled back to Qi State for the first time, but the whole army was wiped out the second time.

As a result, almost no soldiers defended Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

The 20 soldiers of the Qin Army approached the city, and both King Qi and Prime Minister Hou Sheng were invited out of bed by soldiers of the Qin Army.

……

Linzi City, Qi Palace.

Yingxuan stood on the resplendent and magnificent hall.

He has been to the Qin Palace, the Han Palace, the Chu Palace, and the Qi Palace.

Qin Palace is atmospheric.

Hanwang Palace is luxurious.

Chu Palace is beautiful.

But the current King Qi Palace gives Yingxuan a feeling of wealth and honor, the two words are rich.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the empty hall, and a bloody startled salamander walked in.

The appearance of the startled salamander means that the entire Qi palace is under the control of the Qin army.

"King Qi and Hou Sheng are both under control, do you want to meet them?"

"Bring Hou Sheng here, King Qi will disappear, and I will hand him over to Wang Jian. He will be responsible for arranging a team to escort King Qi to Xianyang."

"King versus king, whether it's King Han, King Wei, King Chu, or King Qi, they can only be dealt with by Brother Wang."

……

When he was young, Hou Sheng, the Prime Minister of Qi State, was brought into the hall.

This was originally the place where Qi State went to court, but now it is surrounded by a group of black armored soldiers.

Hou Sheng felt as if he was dreaming, which was unreal.

Didn't the recent battle report say that Shouchun City was broken, Chu State was destroyed, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi, and Yue divided up the land of Chu?

Why did Qin Jun suddenly appear in Linzi City?
It's like a divine soldier descended from heaven.

Until the journey along the way, Hou Sheng was shocked to find that not to mention the city of Linzi, even the Qi Palace was occupied by black armored soldiers.

The black dragon flag symbolizes Qin!

These soldiers are soldiers of Qin!

What is going on?

"Luoyang Jun?"

Hou Sheng was brought all the way into the hall by the soldiers, and he was still a little dazed until now, he looked at the man on the throne uncertainly.

Yingxu moved half of his butt to the side, and then patted the throne under him.

"Come sit down and talk."

After a moment of silence, Hou Sheng slowly stepped onto the throne.

Only the monarch of Qi State can sit there.

Unexpectedly, one day he would be able to sit on it later.

It was also at this moment that Hou Sheng confirmed that all this was not a dream, but a reality, and Qi State had already perished!
Including King Qi, all the royal clans of Qi were captured and sent to Xianyang.

"I have a question, and I want you to tell me the truth."

"You ask."

The state of Qi is dead, and the throne is nothing more than a beautiful seat, and Hou Sheng sits beside Ying Hua without much psychological burden.

King Qi's throne is very large, even if two people sit on it, it doesn't look crowded at all.

Hou Sheng took a deep breath and asked, "Qin never thought of forming an alliance with Qi from the beginning, did it?"

Winning did not answer the question.

Instead, he asked, "If one day, Qi State can destroy Qin and Chu, will Qi State choose to form an alliance with Qin State, or will it be destroyed together with Qin State?"

In fact, everyone knows the answer to the question of victory.

An alliance only exists between two equally powerful countries. If one side can destroy the other, what's the point of an alliance?

That's why Hou Sheng fell silent again.

The relationship between Qin State and Qi State is like the relationship between Ying Hua and him.

If Qi is here, he and Yingxu can be called brothers and close friends.

Qi Guo is gone, and Hou Sheng has not naively thought that he can be equal to Ying Hua now.

The throne beneath him was invited by Ying Hao to sit down.

"What does Mr. Luoyang plan to do with me?" Hou Sheng asked curiously.

Hou Sheng is not only the prime minister of Qi State, but also the nobleman of Qi State.

It stands to reason that he would be escorted to Xianyang with King Qi, but King Qi and the team of King Qi's nobles had already been sent to the camp of the Qin Army.

And Lord Luoyang left him alone.

Is it because of the money?
Hou Sheng didn't dare to think about it.

To be honest, after the Qi State was destroyed, Hou Sheng just had a feeling. After all, Qi State did not belong to him, but if Ying Hua asked him for money, would he give it or not?
He had accumulated the money for most of his life.

Hou Sheng and Guo Kai are equally greedy for money, but there are differences between the two.

Guo Kai likes to spend money, but Hou Sheng is a miser.

Getting Hou Sheng to spit out the money he ate was more difficult than killing him.

Ying Hao squinted at Hou Sheng who was sitting upright, this guy's thoughts were completely written on his face, did he really have no city, or was he pretending to be stupid?
Not to mention the 50 gold that the Emerald Tiger gave to Housheng one after another. Housheng has also made a lot of money as the prime minister of Qi over the years.

It can be said that Hou Sheng is richer than King Qi!
So much money will be a great help to Qin's next attack on Zhao and Yan.

"Brother Hou Sheng is the prime minister of Qi State. He is talented and virtuous. We, Great Qin, need people like you to rule the world."

"I invite Brother Hou Sheng to become the Minister of State of Qin on behalf of Brother Wang."

The resources of this era are in the hands of the nobles.

There are many ways to obtain the wealth of the latter, but Yingxuan chose the mildest and most popular method.

The Qin State's Shangqing whom the King of Qin trusted, the Qin State's Shangqing who the Qin King relied on, and the 'Qin State Shangqing' are two different concepts.

Although it is just a false name, it is a promise for Hou Sheng.

A promise to allow him to stay in Xianyang until he dies.

"Brother Hou Sheng is a smart person, he should know how to choose."

"Do I have a choice?"

Hou Sheng's face was ashen, as if his own father had died, and he knew that he shouldn't be so greedy.

But in the face of 50 gold, who can not be tempted?
The annual salary of Qi soldiers is only seven gold.

What is the concept of 50 gold?
Hou Sheng knew that even if he had to do it all over again, he still couldn't refuse.

"I will have someone prepare the house for you in Xianyang. Hou Sheng used to be the prime minister of Qi, but now he is the Shangqing of Qin. Naturally, it can't be shabby."

"In addition, I will ask the Emerald Tiger to prepare one hundred thousand gold."

That is, a house and one hundred thousand gold are the bottom line given by Yingxuan.

Then Sheng and his family were able to save their lives.

And with one hundred thousand gold, even if Hou Sheng's family doesn't do anything, they can still be rich until they die.

It's just that these warehouses are nothing compared to the warehouses that won later.

His houses in Linzi cost more than that.

Hou Sheng pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but facing Ying Hua's calm eyes, he swallowed the words abruptly.

Want money or death?

There are many ways Qin Guo wants to get his family property.

For example, encountering bandits on the way.

If everyone died, wouldn't all property become ownerless?
"Trouble Luoyang Jun to arrange a manpower to escort our family to Xianyang."

Even so, Hou Sheng was still very worried.

Like a frightened bird.

He looked at Yingxuan and asked, "Han land has just been pacified, will there be any accidents along the way?"

"I will tell Wang Jian that Brother Hou Sheng's family, including the servants, will return to Qin with Wang Jian's army."

Yinghua stood up, smiled and patted Housheng on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so nervous.

The Qin State has already wiped out the Four Kingdoms. Except for those who escaped and issued rewards, the rest of the nobles from all countries just moved to Xianyang.

No accident happened to anyone.

This is to tell Zhao Guo and Yan Guo that if they surrender and do not kill, they will surely die if they resist.

"Let's go, take me around your palace of Qi."

Yingxuan left the main hall, and Housheng could only follow him, taking him around the Qi Palace.

……

Xianyang, Qin Palace.

The battle report from the Chu State battlefield had been sent back to Xianyang, and Ying Zheng quietly held the battle report sent back by Wang Jian with five fingers.

The phalanges of the fingers turned blue and white due to too much force.

The state of Chu is destroyed!

Qi has surrendered!

Four of the six kingdoms in Shandong are now gone, leaving only Zhao and Yan.

Most of the world has become the territory of Qin State.

"Zhao Gao!"

"The servant is here."

"Are the settlements of the royal families of Chu and Qi ready?"

Ying Zheng asked.

For the sake of the stability of the world, he doesn't need to kill these people, but these people must be watched under his nose.

Zhao Gao bowed and replied, "Everything has been prepared, but there is a news from Luowang that they have prepared the residence of Prime Minister Housheng of Qi State."

"It's Lord Luoyang's meaning."

"What do you mean, brother? Does he have friendship with Hou Sheng?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Ying Zheng is a person who only cares about the result but not the process.

His order to Yingxuan and Wang Jian was to make a fake show and bring Chu down.

As for the intermediate process, Ying Zheng is not too clear.

He also didn't know that Hou Sheng was the key figure in destroying Chu and descending to Qi, without Hou Sheng circling in the middle to lobby Qi King to send troops to attack Chu.

Even if Qin State could take down Shouchun City in this battle, it would not be so easy.

At least half of the 35 troops in Wang Jian's hands would be lost.

In that case, not to mention the follow-up sneak attack on Qi State, even guarding the border of Chu State will be a bit difficult.

"It is said that King Qi sent troops to attack Chu State twice, all thanks to the Prime Minister of Qi State Hou Sheng's persuasion."

"When Mr. Luoyang accompanied the envoys to Qi, he sent a large sum of money to Housheng."

Zhao Gao said truthfully.

There is no embellishment, nor is there any concealment.

Ying Zheng suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar, Ji Wuye from South Korea, Wei Yong from Wei State, and Hou Sheng from Qi State.

The national power of the six kingdoms of Shandong is several times that of Qin.

However, in the end it was Qin who won, and the four countries of Han, Wei, Chu, and Qi were all destroyed by Qin.

Ying Zheng always thinks about the reasons for this.

It is precisely because there are people like Ji Wuye, Wei Yong, and Hou Sheng that their country will perish so quickly, right?

Even if it is South Korea, although it can't beat Qin, it is definitely not a problem to defend it for a year or two.

In the end, it didn't even take two months, and South Korea was wiped out.

And Qi State is even more exaggerated, even its own army and Qin State's army can't tell them apart. They were driven straight in by Wang Jian's 20 Qin army, and captured Linzi City in World War I.

History is a lesson.

The state of Qin must not follow the old path of Han, Wei, and Qi.

Ying Huo silently thought about who is 'Ji Wuye', who is 'Wei Yong', and who is 'Hou Sheng' in the court.

There must never be such a person in Qin!

The great Qin has been for thousands of years, and it is only shared with those who are talented and virtuous.

"Since it's the meaning of my younger brother, then don't worry about Housheng. It's just a false name of Qin Guoshangqing. If I can give it to Wei Yong, I can also give it to Housheng."

Wei Yong exchanged the army of Wei State for Shangqing of Qin State.

Hou Sheng exchanged his family wealth for Shangqing of Qin State.

Both of them made money, and King Qin said that he was not losing money either.

"The extravagant brother has made such a great contribution again, what should I reward him?" Ying Zheng put down the battle report in his hand and walked out of Zhangtai Palace.

Stand on high steps.

Ying Zheng looked towards the east.

He suddenly remembered one thing, the agreement between Yingxu and Lu Buwei when he was in charge.

"Now Qi State has been incorporated into Qin State's territory, and the coast of Sanghai also belongs to Qin State's territory. Once my younger brother and Zhongfu agreed to go fishing in Sanghai."

"Send an order to Guanzhong to tell Father Zhong the good news."

"Let's say my younger brother is waiting for him to fish in Songhai!"

Ying Zheng said with a smile.

He still remembered that his younger brother said that the snow in Yan Country was beautiful, and Sanghai asked Father Zhong and his younger brother to take a look for him, and he planned to see the snow in Yan Country by himself.

……

Songhai, Little Sage Village.

If Guanmiao Terrace is the holy land of Taoism, and Liuxian Tomb is the holy land of farmers, then Xiaoshengxianzhuang is the holy land of Confucianism.

Although the state of Qi was destroyed, the little sage village in Sanghai of the state of Qi cannot be ignored.

Taking advantage of the fact that Confucianism hadn't made any mistakes, Yinghua tried to find a way to draw them into Qin's camp.

It is Yinglu's consistent style to discard the bad and extract the essence.

There are many useful things in Confucianism, and there are also many things that Ying Hua very much recognizes.

Lord Luoyang of the Qin State appeared in Sanghai, and was immediately noticed by Confucianism.

Winning luxury is not Li Si, and he came with fifty thousand troops.

"Has Song Hai arrived?"

Yingxu raised the curtain of the car and looked at the street outside. From just now, he felt that the road had become smoother, and the carriage no longer hopped.

The general who accompanied him was Meng Tian.

The Wushuang ghost who had been following Meng Tian was also handpicked by Ying Hua.

There is a Wushuang ghost on the left and Dianqing on the right, like two door gods guarding the carriage.

"We've arrived, but there's still some distance to the Little Sage's Village." Meng Tian replied.

"When will Xiang Lu arrive?" Ying Hua asked again.

Yingzheng informed Yingxuan that Lu Buwei was going to Sanghai.

Meng Tian thought for a while, "If there is no accident, Lu Xiang should have entered the Han land by now."

"Then when Xiang Lu arrives, let's visit Xiaoshengxianzhuang again."

"Besides, from now on, Songhai is only allowed to enter but not to exit!"

"Yes!"
