Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Nei Shiteng, whose original surname was Ye, was a descendant of Ye Gong, who was known as "Ye Gong likes dragons".

Ye Gong was not as stupid as in the story of "Ye Gong likes dragons". In fact, Ye Gong in history was a very outstanding politician. He not only saved the country, but also became Ling Yin and Sima for a time. He held both military and political power in Chu State and had a good end.

You should know that Ling Yin in Chu State was a high-risk profession, and seven or eight out of ten did not have a good end.

Ye County was the ancestral land of the Ye family and the fief of Ye Gong.

Many of Nei Shiteng's family members, relatives and a large number of Ye family members have been settled there.

Nei Shiteng had only one daughter, so there was no need to settle her in Xianyang. In this situation of frequent wars, settling the only descendant in Ye County could show the people of Ye County that he, Nei Shiteng, would not give up his hometown of Ye County in order to stabilize the people of Ye County.

Nei Shiteng hoped that the elders of Ye County could hold on for a little longer.

But the human heart is a very complicated thing.

Over the years, the Ye family has paid a lot. Not only have a large number of fields and manors outside the city been destroyed, but many family members have also died in the war.

At the beginning, the Ye family naturally hated Dayu to death, but as Dayu's advantage became more and more obvious, especially after the appearance of troops with unseen numbers from the front and back of Wancheng, the Ye family realized that the situation was not good.

Whether to continue to fight with Dayu to the death for the Qin State, which has not conquered Ye for many years, or to be a hero who knows the times, this does not seem to be a difficult choice for many families.

As for the opinion of Ye Teng, the patriarch of the Ye family, also known as Nei Shiteng, other powerful figures of the Ye family chose to ignore it.

They did not want to accompany Nei Shiteng as a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty and be buried with the Qin Dynasty.

You, Nei Shiteng, have no descendants, but we do!

However, in order for the Ye family to have a stronger voice in the future and to ensure the status of the Ye family after surrender, the elders of the Ye family also proposed the conditions of surrender to Zhao Yun and Le Jin's troops: unless the Emperor of Dayu agreed to take Ye Zijin, the daughter of Nei Shi Teng, as a concubine, the Ye family would never surrender.

The Ye family also had some thoughts in sending Ye Zijin, which could alienate the relationship between Nei Shi Teng and the Qin State and force Nei Shi Teng to surrender; at the same time, because Nei Shi Teng had no descendants but only one daughter, once Nei Shi Teng died in the future, Ye Zijin's relationship would be the relationship of the entire Ye family.

The Ye family also decided to send two legitimate daughters from each room as concubines of Teng in dowry - there has always been a tradition of sisters being given as concubines in dowry in this era.

As for Ye Zijin's opinion, they were also ignored.

But the smart and shrewd Ye Zijin chose to accept the moral kidnapping of the elders, because she knew very well that once the city was broken, her fate would only be worse.

A smart woman knows when to make what choice.

When Zhao Yun heard the conditions of the Ye family, he subconsciously wanted to refuse. He didn't want to be the second Fa Xiaozhi.

Just thinking that if he worked hard for his majesty and sacrificed a little personal reputation, Yecheng would surrender more smoothly and thousands of men would die less, Zhao Yun finally made a decision against his will.

At the moment of making the decision, Zhao Yun always felt that he had lost something in his heart.

After the surrender of Yecheng was settled, Ye Zijin came to Zhao Yun's camp with a heavy dowry and a large number of concubines as a gift.

Seeing the double-digit number of concubines, Zhao Yun's face flushed, and he felt that he was no longer clean, and he didn't even want to look at them.

However, what surprised Zhao Yun was that Ye Zijin, who seemed to have no opinion, actually took the initiative to ask Zhao Yun with a firm attitude, and proposed to Zhao Yu to go to Wancheng to persuade Nei Shi Teng to surrender.

Zhao Yun had actually sent Nei Shi Teng's nephew there before, and Ye Zijin took the initiative to speak, but it was unexpected.

"My father is stubborn. If ordinary people try to persuade him, he will only rebel. No one knows my father better than his daughter. General, why don't you let me have a try? Besides, my father has been managing Nanyang for a long time. Most of the officials and people in Nanyang have benefited from him. Once my father is willing to persuade other cities to surrender, Nanyang can be settled!"

These are Ye Zijin's original words.

Because he was not sure whether Ye Zijin really wanted to persuade Nei Shi Teng to surrender or take the opportunity to escape, Zhao Yun did not agree immediately, but felt that Ye Zijin would not die. Zhao Yun, who was trapped in Wancheng with Nei Shi Teng, eventually sent Ye Zijin to Zhuge Liang.

After Zhuge Liang tried, he felt that Ye Zijin really wanted to save Nei Shi Teng, and even if Ye Zijin had other ideas, it would not affect the overall situation. Once successful, she would gain huge benefits, so he let her enter the city.

The final result was naturally extremely beneficial to Dayu.

Nei Shiteng surrendered to Zhuge Liang with 50,000 Qin troops. Under Nei Shiteng's persuasion, most of the cities in Wanye chose to surrender, and almost all the essence of the Nanyang Basin fell into the hands of Dayu.

Ye Zijin also relied on this achievement to leave a certain position in Dong Huang's heart, and did not become a disposable tool - although Dong Huang did not know that he had another concubine.

After Nei Shiteng surrendered, Zhuge Liang's troops continued to make efforts, ordered Yue Fei's troops to approach Wuguan, ordered Zhao Yun's troops to go to Shangyong again, and cooperated with Zhang He's troops to find an opportunity to attack Hanzhong.

Hanzhong was previously managed by Wang Jian, and its defense line was as solid as a rock. Even when Wang Heng's troops of the Qin army took the initiative to retreat to Bazhong, Gao Shun's army still failed to break out in the past few years, and was extremely uncomfortable in Bashu. Zhuge Liang wanted to see if there could be a breakthrough from the direction of Nanjun.

However, considering that there has never been a successful case of attacking Hanzhong from the direction of Nanjun in history, Zhuge Liang did not have much confidence.

Zhuge Liang not only had no confidence in capturing Hanzhong, but also had no confidence in winning the capture of Wuguan.

The location of Wuguan is actually located in the famous Shangyu in history. Zhang Yi deceived King Huai of Chu and said that he would give the Shangyu land to Chu. The location is nearby. To be more specific, it is actually between Danshui and Xishui. There is Shangxian on the inside of Wuguan and Xixian on the outside. Both are important towns in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and are also important borders between Qin and Chu.

When King Huai of Chu heard that Qin wanted to give Chu the land of Shangyu, he was blinded by greed because this location was too important. Once occupied, it would directly threaten Qin's heartland, Xianyang.

In this world, Wuguan is surrounded by the rocky and dangerous Shaoxi Mountain in the north, and the Wuguan River Valley, a tributary of the Danshui River, a tributary of the Han River, in the east, west and south. It is a dangerous place with "mountains and waters around it, and natural obstacles".

Bai Jie entered Wuguan and relied on Wuguan for defense, and Yue Fei's troops were helpless.

Under the current conditions, as long as the generals are not particularly stupid and the soldiers dare to fight, it is almost impossible for a fortress like Wuguan to be captured.

This is the case with Wuguan, Jiange, and even Xunguan.

Qin's basic base is a place with four barriers. The geographical location is too superior. Even if it was beaten to this extent by Dayu, the basic base is still as solid as a rock.

However, the loss of Nanyang, the Yu army's advance to Wuguan, and the previous Yu army's advance to Xunguan still brought great shock to the Qin people.

The brave old Qin, let's go to the national crisis together!

The blood of the old Qin people was also aroused.

Speaking of it, the fierce offensive of Dayu in the past three years was mainly due to the Qin people's lack of food and grass and the great epidemic. The national strength was extremely weak and there was no power to launch a large-scale counterattack. Now that the basic foundation of Qin has been stabilized, the Qin people are thinking about revenge again.

The remaining power of the six generations, at least so far, the people in Guanzhong are in Qin.

Of course, Qin did not only receive bad news. The biggest good news was that Wang Jian defeated Li Mu.

In history, the abilities of Wang Jian and Li Mu should be comparable, and both are a little higher than Meng Ao. Under the same circumstances, it is difficult to say who can defeat whom, but this time the two encountered an unexpected situation.

Wang Jian, who crossed the river upstream of Xingyang, took advantage of the first heavy rain to send troops to break the dike near the sand dunes. Coincidentally, Hu Che'er and Qin Yilu also quietly broke the dike in Chaoge, upstream of Wang Jian's troops, and the northern part of the lower reaches of the Yellow River suddenly became a swamp.

Wang Jian did not expect that someone would break the dike upstream of him. He had no choice but to go north to avoid the flood and choose a way back. As a result, he ran into Li Mu's troops.

Li Mu, who was suppressing the resistance forces in the former Qi and Yan areas of Hebei, instinctively felt that something was wrong after learning about the Yellow River breach. He personally led troops to investigate the situation and organize rescue, but ran into Wang Jian's troops.

At this time, the number of people brought by both sides was actually similar, both 30,000 to 50,000 people, but Wang Jian's army was threatened by floods behind him.

A real battle with one's back to the water!

"Brothers, we have no way out. If you don't want to die, follow me back to Qin!"

Wang Jian roared and led the way.

Wang Jian, who likes to be as steady as an old dog, fought so hard for the first time.

Even when attacking Langzhong before, Wang Jian did not lead the troops like this.

The Qin elite soldiers trained by Wang Jian in desperation did not embarrass Wang Jian. At this moment, they showed amazing fighting power and launched a life-and-death attack on Li Mu's troops.

Not everyone can play a desperate battle, but Wang Jian can.

At this time, even Li Mu could not resist, and the whole army retreated fifty miles.

Wang Jian's troops took the opportunity to retreat to Yecheng.

In Yecheng, Qin also deployed heavy troops, because this is a frontline town against Zhao, and further north is Zhao's capital Handan.

After Wang Jian's troops arrived in Yecheng, they immediately made a gesture to go north to Handan.

At this time, the King of Zhao and the main officials of Handan City had actually moved to Jicheng, but this did not prevent Handan from being the first important city on the front line against Qin.

But there is still a difference between an important city and a royal capital.

Because of the departure of the King of Zhao and his ministers, the morale of the army in Handan City at this time almost fell to the bottom.

Wang Jian led 250,000 elite troops from Yecheng and other places to besiege Handan.

And made a gesture to divert the water of Zhanghe River to flood the city.

The topography of Handan City determined that it was not as easy to be attacked by water as Daliang, but it was not impossible to attack by water. After all, the Qin army had the precedent of attacking Yancheng by water and the Yellow River just bursting its dike, which made Handan City fall into despair, and letters for help were sent one after another.

However, at this time, the only elite troops that could really be used were Li Mu's 160,000 to 170,000 troops.

The whole country could gather one or two million soldiers, but some defended Handan, some defended other important places in the Eight Xings of Taihang Mountains, and some guarded local areas, and were also hindered by floods.

Zhao was also in a difficult situation.

Zhao's war agents were in an even more difficult situation.

They fell into the same confusion as Qi's war agents: Our land is obviously much larger and stronger than in history, but what's the matter with this sign of national destruction?

If you lose people while you keep the land, you will lose both the people and the land.

At this moment, many war agents truly realized the essence of this sentence.

But fortunately, we have Li Mu.

At this moment, Li Mu not only became the savior of Zhao, but also the savior of Zhao's war agents.

Li Mu, who was highly expected, could only pull himself out of the real quagmire and gather troops to rescue Handan.

In order to suppress the resistance in the former Yan and Qi areas of Hebei, many of Li Mu's elite troops were split up, which was also an important reason for Li Mu's previous defeat. But under normal circumstances, Li Mu was not afraid of Wang Jian.

However, when Li Mu finally gathered his troops and rushed to Handan to confront Wang Jian's army, a shocking news came-Jingxing was captured.

(The left side is a simple map of the terrain, and the right side is a city map)

Li Yao and Li Xin, father and son, led 200,000 elite troops to conquer the Jingxing defense line of the Zhao army, and the front line was directly aimed at the rear of Li Mu's army, Hao County.

At the same time, the new general Yang Duan and his army went out of Qiyang, and formed a pincer attack with Wang Jian's troops.

The number of Qin elite soldiers gathered by Wang Jian, Li Yao, Yang Duan and the three armies exceeded 350,000.

It can be said that Qin State took out all the humiliation it suffered in Dayu on Zhao State.

The reinforcements originally prepared for the decisive battle with Dayu were unable to go to Xingyang and Wancheng due to various reasons such as food and grass. This time, they all went to Zhao.

Not only these troops, the Qin State, which had been frustrated for three years, finally started large-scale conscription again. Conservatively estimated, without affecting the defense of Hanzhong, Wuguan, and Xingyang, Qin State can at least withdraw another million troops, including 150,000 Qin elite soldiers, into Zhao State.

Although more than half of the Qin elite soldiers who entered Zhao State in these two times were actually war agents, as long as the situation like Dengcheng did not occur, the war agents were still very reliable.

It was obviously a war between Dayu and Dayqin for many years, but in the end, it turned into a war of annihilation against Zhao State.

Obviously, Qin State wanted to defeat the last enemy in one go, and then go all out to fight Dayu.

At this time, Dayu was doing disaster relief.

Zhao State obviously had no ability to provide disaster relief, so Dayu conscripted people from Han, Wei and Qi to provide disaster relief.

This kind of disaster relief was not conscription, but payment. The main purpose was not only disaster relief, but also to make the people of the countries realize the brutality of Qin State and the benevolence of Dayu.

Every time you oppose Cao, things will be accomplished.

If you want Jiuzhou to become the base camp for conquering the world and to win the hearts of more natural people, this kind of action to win people's hearts is still very important.

Both Zhao State and Qin State acquiesced to Dayu's actions. Zhao State even acquiesced to Dayu's occupation of the Yellow River flood area. Anyway, these places cannot even resume normal production in five or six years, let alone other things. Dayu is willing to shoulder this burden and is willing to control the Yellow River, so let him go.

So the hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo had a place to use his skills again and tried to control the Yellow River for the first time. And according to Dayu's plan, tens of millions of people in this area will be immigrated to Yingzhou Sanqian City, Lost Space and Jiaozhi with Dayu's strong shipping capacity and food and grass resources.

The world map of this world is very different from the world Dong Huang had experienced before, but some things are still similar. In short, with the land of Zhuxia as the core, it is right to push outward.

When the main force of Qin State and Zhao State were preparing for a decisive battle, and Dayu was eyeing and planning the world, a force of more than 10,000 people was trapped near Chaoge, and no one cared about it.

This force was the troops of Hu Che'er and Qin Yilu.

The two were indeed professional in civil engineering, and almost drowned Wang Jian's troops, but they obviously lacked sufficient knowledge of water conservancy and almost drowned themselves.

In the end, more than 5,000 of the more than 20,000 people who went out drowned, and the rest were forced to the vicinity of Chaoge by the water.

At this time, Chaoge had already fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

The two who became drowned wanted to trick the city gate open with the Qin army uniforms on their bodies, but the Qin army's system was notoriously strict, and the gate would not be opened without a military order.

The two of them were cunning. They pretended to leave angrily, then used their instincts as civil engineers to lead the elite to dig holes, intending to dig into the city by digging.

It was not that they had to attack the city, but the military rations could not last long, and they had to capture Chaoge to replenish them.

Because the south was all water, although they could now use Haidongqing and others to contact the Dayu navy, the Dayu navy could not find a suitable ferry to stop on the north bank. Hu Che'er and Qin Yilu's troops did not dare to cross the Yellow River flood area and go to the Yellow River in the face of the flood.

They had to find a way to save themselves.

The good news was that because of the flood and the Qin army's main focus on destroying the State of Zhao, no one cared about Chaoge, and the guards were also weak.

Hu Che'er and Qin Yilu divided their troops and set up ambushes at the four gates to prevent anyone in the city from escaping and leaking the news, and then began to dig.

After digging for a day and a night, a subordinate suddenly came to report with a smell of mud all over his body, panting: "Two generals, down there, down there..."

"What down there? If you keep nagging, I'll bury you down there!"

Hu Che'er, who was not in a good mood, couldn't help but glare at this subordinate.

Hu Che'er, whose appearance was second only to Dian Wei, glared at him, looking like a hellish devil, and immediately frightened his subordinate's stuttering.

"There's a Dadou down there!"

The subordinate said hurriedly.

"Dadou, you're crazy from digging graves. If we can't dig up Chaoge City, we'll cook you and eat you if we run out of food!"

Hu Che'er grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Yes, it's King Zhou of Shang and Su Daji!"

The soldier dropped a bombshell.

"I don't care if he's King Zhou of Shang or King Mu of Zhou, you..."

Hu Che'er was furious.

The food supply is almost gone, and you still have time to dig a grave? Are you born in the Year of the Dog, waiting to gnaw the bones inside?

However, Qin Yilu, who was relatively cultured, pulled Hu Che'er and asked the soldier: "How do you know it's King Zhou of Shang and Su Daji?"

Dong Huang's expedition to the remnants of the Shang Dynasty was not a secret to them.

Since some myths of the Shang Dynasty have been confirmed to exist, King Zhou of Shang and Su Daji are also very likely to exist.

If it's really their tomb, there might be something.

However, didn't King Zhou of Shang die miserably? There's also a tomb? What about Su Daji?

"Brother Hu, why don't you go down and find out. If it's really related to the Shang Dynasty, maybe you and my brother can make amends!"

Qin Yilu suggested.

The two men did a rather ugly job in this civil engineering work. It can't be said that they made a great contribution, but they lost thousands of troops for nothing and trapped themselves in this place. It was indeed embarrassing.

They could all imagine how terrifying Jia Xu's sinister squinting eyes were.

This was when no one was causing trouble.

Once a guy who only knew how to send women got the news, he would travel thousands of miles to ridicule Jia Xu's words that he was "quite good at judging people, using troops like a god, and making every possible plan". Qin Yilu even felt that Jia Xu should introduce a marriage to each of them - kill them and throw them into the shadow of death to marry Sima Yi's two daughters!

Thinking of this, Qin Yilu couldn't help but shudder.

Qin Yilu's desire to return home was ultimately due to fear. He was so afraid that he even offered his wife to Jia Xu. Although Jia Xu finally took advantage of Dong Huang, Qin Yilu's character was evident.

His fear of Jia Xu was even greater than death.

"That's right."

Hu Che'er nodded.

Although he was more of a confidant than Qin Yilu, he was just as afraid of Jia Xu.

He didn't think Jia Xu would kill him for a ghost marriage, but Jia Xu was definitely capable of asking him to dig a grave for decades.

The two of them then led their personal soldiers into the underground. After walking for an incense stick, they saw a mausoleum that was as magnificent as day, or a royal mausoleum.

The mausoleum was in the shape of the Chinese character "亚", with many burial objects, blond-haired and blue-eyed human sacrifices, and golden objects buried with it.

Many of the human sacrifices still retained their painful and twisted appearances during their lifetime, and their skin textures were the same as those of fresh corpses.

Those artifacts were obviously bronze, and they were not the green and blue appearance of the tombs in later generations, but the brilliant and glorious appearance of "Ji Jin".

Everything here seemed to be the same as when the mausoleum was just built a thousand years ago. The only thing that was out of tune with this splendor was the corpses of dozens of Yu soldiers who had become mummies!

Hu Che'er and Qin Yilu felt a chill in their hearts.

They had realized that something was wrong.

However, before they could react, they were pushed into the main tomb by a figure who had come to them at some point.

The one who pushed them was the soldier who had reported the news before.

At this time, his face was full of ferocity, and his face had turned into an inverted triangle fox demon face, with his facial features twisted together, and he laughed sharply.

"How dare you make trouble!"

"Protect the general!"

The two's personal soldiers were immediately furious.

First, they hacked the soldier to death, and then the black donkey hoof, the black ink line bucket, the black dog blood, the sticky rice, the peach wood nails, the corpse tripping rope, and even some of them poured out boy's urine...

They rushed in.

In short, the main feature is a complete range of products to drive away evil and avoid evil.

Of course, the most evil-repelling thing is the evil-repelling talisman on their bodies.

These talismans from the Zhang family had played an extraordinary role in the previous mission world. However, because of their preciousness, only Hu Che'er and Qin Yilu's personal soldiers had them, and Hu Che'er and Qin Yilu, as the main generals, had many of them.

With these evil-repelling talismans, they could move freely in the ancient tomb, otherwise, they would have been stained with dirt long ago.

At the moment they were pushed in, the talismans on their bodies burned fiercely.

At this moment, the originally bright and beautiful Jijin all changed color, as if a thousand years had appeared in an instant. Even the corpses that were originally lifelike quickly decayed into shriveled bones. The only two bright and beautiful things in the whole tomb were a majestic figure that looked down on the world and an extremely charming woman.

"It is your honor to be the sacrifice for the king's resurrection!"

The charming woman opened her eyes, and her beauty instantly confused the minds of the two.

These two people are the two with the best qualifications among all the living people around, and the two who are most qualified to take over the body.

"The strong one will be given to the king, and I will be humbled to use this disgusting body first."

The charming woman is ready to take over the body.

The thousand-year seal consumed too much of her strength. In fact, their bodies have long been dead and cannot die again. The only hope is to take over the body.

But their souls have long been rotten. If they want to take over someone else's body, they must use some tricks, such as first charming the other party and letting the other party willingly merge with their soul.

After she was nourished by her physical body, she helped her king to take over another body.

She used her natural charm skills to confuse Qin Yilu.

"Am I beautiful?"

The enchanting vixen asked.

"Beautiful!"

Qin Yilu nodded with lust and soul.

"Then do you want to completely merge with me? Come on, let go of your mind, let us completely merge, and blend into one..."

The vixen's voice was extremely charming.

Looking at the stinky man who was so full of support that the tent had to support him, she knew that her plan was about to succeed.

"Come on, merge with me!"

The vixen gently stroked Qin Yilu's face.

As long as Qin Yilu said yes, the contract would be successfully concluded, and she would completely occupy Qin Yilu's soul.

However, what she didn't expect was that when she said the word "integration", Qin Yilu actually struggled strongly!

"What? I'm not beautiful enough?"

The vixen was anxious.

"Beautiful... beautiful..."

Qin Yilu answered truthfully.

"Then why do you still resist? Isn't it good to go to paradise with me?"

The vixen increased the strength of the charm, forming a blood-pumping illusion in Qin Yilu's mind.

However, it was this strong visual impact that finally made Qin Yilu sober up.

"You are so beautiful, please don't make a mistake, and quickly recommend yourself to the prime minister and His Majesty!"

Qin Yilu roared with ferocious eyes.

For Qin Yilu, beauty is illusion, and serving Jia Xu well is the right thing to do.

If it was an ordinary woman who charmed him, he might have been half-hearted, but the woman who charmed him was even more charming and beautiful than his ex-wife Du, how could he bear it!

Such a beauty must be given to the Prime Minister first, and the Prime Minister will decide whether to present her to His Majesty!

Of course, if His Majesty and the Prime Minister have any special hobbies, he doesn't mind marrying her first, but how to do it depends on the interests of His Majesty and the Prime Minister!

He is not a tortoise, but an unreserved loyalty!
