Qin Dynasty snare people

In less than ten days, the war between Qin and Zhao came to an end with lightning speed, shocking all countries.

After all, ten days ago, Li Mu led the Zhao army to fight an inextricable battle with the Qin State. It seemed that he could still hold on for a few months. No one expected that the Zhao State would be defeated so quickly and violently, like an avalanche. Generally speaking, there is no way to stop it, and even the king's capital was lost. Zhao Wangqian even directly accepted the imperial seal of Qin and followed the same old path as South Korea.

No one expected that Zhao Wangqian would make such a decision.

This move directly caused the eyes of many Zhao people to split, especially those Zhao people who had enmity with the Qin State. They really answered the sentence: I want to fight to the death, why does the king surrender first?

This move of Zhao Wangqian directly destroyed the hearts of the people. If he had fought with the Qin State, he would rather die than surrender, and he would sacrifice the bones of the Zhao people. He would definitely fight with the Qin State endlessly, but he surrendered without stopping. The king of the country doesn't care about the gains and losses of Zhao State. How should the people below treat Zhao State.

…

Wei State, Daliang.

Long Yangjun also learned the news. He was stunned for a moment, and his handsome face returned to calmness, and he said calmly: "Zhao Dan has two good descendants."

Zhao Dan is the father of Zhao Wangyan, King Zhao Xiaocheng. The Battle of Changping was fought in his hands. It was also his decision to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, which led to the decline of Zhao State and his descendants. It was even more powerful than him, directly wiping out Zhao Guo's last breath.

"How is Li Mu?"

Long Yangjun glanced at Wei Lingshu, who was sitting upright opposite him, and asked.

As the sixth son of the Wei Kingdom, Wei Lingshu naturally knew a lot of things. Whatever news Long Yang wanted to know recently, he learned from him. As for the war between Qin and Zhao, he had already mentioned it last time, but it was a pity that Wei Wangzeng did not He had the courage to fight Qin and help Zhao regain Wuguan. Now he was naturally unwilling to say anything.

"Missing, possibly dead."

Wei Lingshu's expression became more solemn and he said in a deep voice.

You must know that Li Mu is a master of swordsmanship. There are very few people in the world who can kill him, unless he is surrounded and killed on the battlefield, but he can still run away with his strength.

Of course, if Li Mu is determined to die, that's another story.

Long Yangjun shook his head and sighed: "The general trend is beyond human power."

He felt a little sorry for Li Mu. This man was a great talent and a master of military formations. It was a pity.

"Teacher, how about Wei Guodang?"

Wei Lingshu pursed his lips and asked.

Lord Longyang pondered for a moment and said: "Zhao was destroyed, and Yan Qi had good relations with Qin. If nothing else happens, Qin's next target will be Wei. If Qi and Chu can be persuaded to send troops, it is still possible to fight. If you can't be convinced, be prepared to fight to the death."

What else could be done, with the lips dead and the teeth cold, the Zhao State was destroyed, and the Wei State could only stand in the way, without any way out.

"kindness!"

Wei Lingshu nodded heavily.

Long Yangjun looked at Wei Lingshu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Have you thought about it? If you don't leave, you don't have much time."

"Where can I go? I can't go to Qin. If Qin really destroys Wei in the future, wouldn't I, the sixth son of Wei, be embarrassed?"

Wei Lingshu smiled bitterly and said.

It's fine to remain anonymous, but that's not his character.

As a prince of a country, he had no choice.

Long Yangjun said softly: "You can think about it for a while. It will take some time for Qin to completely destroy Zhao."

It is easy to destroy the State of Zhao, but it is difficult to destroy the bones of the Zhao people.

Bai Qi killed too ruthlessly back then.

This is the biggest hidden danger of the Qin State, a hidden danger that can never be eradicated. A total of 400,000 Zhao people, most of whom were over ten to under fifty years old, were slaughtered. None of the existing Zhao people had a blood feud with the Qin State. If they only died in battle, It was easy to talk about it on the battlefield, but after surrendering and being tricked and killed... those were all innocent souls.

Wei Lingshu nodded with a heavy heart.

. . . . . . . . . .

Zhao State, Wucheng.

After King Zhao moved the imperial seal and announced his surrender, Wucheng was completely reduced to an isolated city. Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops attacked from front to back and surrounded the important city. It was only a matter of time before it was broken. The Qin army did not want to attack here. The city wasted too much effort and tried to persuade them to surrender, but was rejected.

Wang Li snorted coldly: "Resist stubbornly!"

Even if they lead a forceful attack, the sound of crossbows piercing the air and the sound of gunpowder explosions are endless. The patches of darkness on the city wall and the countless shapeless corpses below reveal the cruelty of war.

Luo Yan stood beside Wang Jian, looking at the attacked city in the distance, silently. The Zhao people were indeed tenacious. During this period, the Zhao people had a very deep impression on him, which was different from the previous eyes when he entered Zhao. , now their eyes are even more deadly and hateful.

"Send a letter to the generals guarding the city of Zhao State in the city, telling them the truth about Li Mu's death. If they are willing to surrender, the Qin army can hand over Guo Kai to them."

Luo Yan pondered for a moment and then suggested to Wang Jian beside him.

Using Guo Kailai in exchange for this difficult and important city to reduce casualties on both sides, the deal is still worth it.

In this way, Guo Kai can be regarded as devoting his whole life to Great Qin.

When Wang Jian heard this, his eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he glanced at Luo Yan, who was harmless to humans and animals next to him. He suddenly felt that Guo Kai was a bit pathetic. After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand to call the general and asked him to follow the instructions. Do what Luo Yan said.

There is no use keeping Guo Kai, so maximizing value is not bad.

What's more, Wang Jian didn't have a good impression of Guo Kaiben.

Soon the siege ceased.

A letter was shot into the city, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified.

Li Mu managed the army well and cared for his subordinates. He lived and fought with the officers and soldiers for many years on the border. He was very popular with the soldiers. We can be regarded as brothers. All the soldiers truly loved and supported Li Mu, even as Zhao Wangyan feared. , they only recognized Li Mu but not Zhao Wang Yan.

At this moment, the general stationed in Wucheng was also a general from the north. He had been following Li Mu for many years. When he suddenly heard the bad news, he was stunned.

Li Mu was actually killed by Guo Kai.

No wonder the Qin army broke through the general's garrison so easily, and no wonder the Zhao state perished so quickly.

Under the gaze of the Qin army, the city gate slowly opened, and the remaining remaining soldiers walked out one after another. There were less than 30,000 fighting soldiers in the entire Wucheng, and many of them were even young men of fifteen or sixteen years old. Their His eyes were a little cold, not what a young man should have, and it was intimidating.

Because those eyes no longer have the brilliance of a young man, but are just indifferent and lifeless, eyes that are indifferent to life, and the life here includes himself.

In troubled times, people are worse than dogs... Luo Yan looked at the eyes of these people and sighed in his heart.

"Where is Guo Kai?"

The first man, a man with a broken arm, was holding a long knife, staring coldly at Wang Jian and others, without fear, and said in a deep voice.

If the Qin army deceived them, they didn't mind the death of the enemy. Anyway, they had nothing to lose. The food in the city had been exhausted long ago. Their defeat was only a matter of time. The only thing that supported them was Li Mu's reinforcements. Now they have to Knowing that Li Mu was dead, there was no need for them to persist.

Soon, Guo Kai, whose mouth was sealed with a cloth strip, was carried out and looked around with horror on his face.

He was puzzled and confused until he saw Luo Yan. His eyes widened suddenly and he looked at Luo Yan for help. Unfortunately, Luo Yan ignored him and didn't even look at him.

He was just thrown to this group of Zhao people.

Without questioning or asking for the reason, the man whose head was amputated chopped off Guo Kai's head with a knife. He recognized Guo Kai. Before he died, killing Guo Kai was regarded as revenge for the general. Then he looked at Hei Nongya. The Qin army was surrounded and suddenly roared: "Brothers, are you afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid!"

The remaining soldiers behind him, less than thirty thousand, roared angrily.

"The Zhao people will not surrender, especially to your Qin country!"

The man with the broken arm grinned and slowly raised the bloody knife in his hand.

Wang Jian immediately frowned and looked at them.

Luo Yan's heart tightened, and then he understood what they were going to do. Just when he was about to say something, they clenched their swords and weapons. Under the leadership of the man with a broken arm, they faced the Qin army, which was several times their size, without any hesitation. Launched a charge.

Wang Limengtian and others were all silent and did not speak. They were greeted by rounds of crossbow arrows.

This is no longer a war, but a massacre on the ground.

Luo Yan closed his eyes and rode towards the distance. He never liked the battlefield, it was too depressing.

A ruthless massacre lasted for less than half an hour. In the end, most of them were killed and hundreds of people were captured. Those hundreds of people were thin and weak. They were all teenagers of thirteen or fourteen years old. They were protected by the charging soldiers and were eventually killed by the Qin army. Captured.

The last city of Zhao Kingdom came to an end.

…

On the cliff in the distance, a figure in a gray-black robe stood here. As the strong wind swept by, the hat slowly dropped, revealing Yan Dan's face. Behind him, the machine beast Suzaku and several The Mohist disciples waited and witnessed the battle.

Old Man Ban walked to Yan Dan's side and sighed softly: "The Kingdom of Zhao is gone."

Yan Dan was silent and watched all this calmly. Until Qin completely occupied Wucheng, he slowly put on his cloak and said calmly: "Let's go."

If the State of Zhao is destroyed, will the State of Yan be far behind?

He is not qualified to grieve for the State of Zhao. Perhaps soon, the fate of the State of Zhao will fall on the head of the State of Yan.

As the prince of Yan State, he had to do something.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Half a month later, King Qin Yingzheng arrived at the State of Zhao under the escort of a large army. However, the Zhao State of today was no longer the Zhao State of the past. In just ten years, the Zhao State that was once arrogant in the eyes of Ying Zheng The country has been completely defeated.

Ying Zheng stood in the palace of King Zhao, overlooking the palace in the distance, and said calmly: "I have been thinking about this day since I became the King of Qin. Back then, I and my mother lived in this city and were bullied by others. …”

Luo Yan stood behind Ying Zheng, listening to Ying Zheng talk about the past, the years that Ying Zheng least wanted to recall.

After a long time, Ying Zheng finished his emotion. He suddenly changed the topic and said calmly: "I thought that I would be happy and joyful after destroying the Zhao Guoguo. But standing here, I don't have any joy at all. All I have is peace. After all, it is just my childhood. goals, not today’s goals.”

Because you want more, just like me chasing a girl, the process of chasing is the most interesting, but after getting it, I feel indifferent... Luo Yan secretly thought in his heart, but said: "Because the king has a greater ambition." The goal, this goal is called the world."

"The world is huge, and Zhao is just the first step. Sir, where do you think Qin should be next?"

Ying Zheng turned around, looked at Luo Yan, and said slowly.

Luo Yan said softly: "Stop for a while, first see how Qi, Yan, Chu and Wei react to the demise of Zhao, and then make a choice. Moreover, it will take time to stabilize the hearts of the Zhao people. It is easy for Qin to destroy Zhao, but it is necessary to destroy Zhao." It is not easy for the country to integrate into the Qin State, but this time the Zhao people have lost their hearts and coupled with the continuous natural disasters, it may be comforted."

People in this era would not have trouble with their stomachs. As for those Zhao people who served as soldiers, that was naturally a different matter. People who had seen blood were different from those who had not.

Luo Yan felt heartbroken when he thought of the group of captured young men in Wucheng. Their eyes were no longer what a living person should have, they looked like wild beasts.

But it's normal.

In this era, information is closed, they have never read since they were young, they don’t understand the truth, they just have some strength to chop people with a knife, and they have some ability to distinguish right from wrong. They only know who is good to them and who gives them food. For whom you sacrifice your life, that's all.

For them, the people around them are their relatives. Now that they have all died in the hands of the Qin people, there is only hatred in their hearts.

"Popular support? Sir, do you think Qin can win the popular support of the Seven Kingdoms?"

Ying Zheng asked instead without answering.

Luo Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately felt that this was almost impossible. At least this generation could not see hope. Qin could only conquer the six countries by force. Only the next generation would be able to see the so-called people's hearts.

Ying Zheng continued: "I have never thought about winning the hearts and minds of the seven peoples. Qin destroyed the six countries, but their country was destroyed, but it could not destroy their love for the mother country, nor their hatred for the destruction of their country and their family. I only It can destroy the six kingdoms, so that there will no longer be wars in the world, so that future generations will not have to suffer the pain of wars, and there will be no messy words.

As for people's hearts, it doesn't matter what they think, what matters is what the people want to do.

As long as a few people think it is right, what if everyone in the world thinks it is right?

Why do I need to explain to them? "

Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "What the king said is absolutely true."

Ying Zheng is right. How can civilians understand the meaning of unification? It is even more impossible to convince them. Instead of caring about these things, it is better to consider how to strengthen your own power so that there is no one who opposes it in the world. Time will prove right or wrong. History will tell Everybody, are they doing it right.

As for the so-called popular sentiment.

Nowadays, the seven countries have not yet been unified. How can we achieve all seven countries and seven kinds of people's hearts?

Without complete destruction, how can we talk about unification, how can we talk about the people's support, how can we talk about the future?

But you are really overbearing... Luo Yan looked at Ying Zheng and commented in his heart.

Ying Zheng is Ying Zheng after all.
