Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

The State of Zhao has always been able to compete with the State of Qin in terms of military strength, and the State of Qin has always regarded the State of Zhao as the biggest obstacle to its eastward attack on other countries, although the current State of Qin does not have enough While guarding against other countries, the Qin State has reached a consensus that it will continue to bleed Zhao State by cannibalizing and exhausting Zhao State, so that it will never regain its strength before the Changping War. , but let it continue to weaken.

Because of the Chengyu Rebellion, Qin's previous attack on Zhao was aborted. At the beginning of the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty, the attack on Zhao was mentioned again by the officials.

As a foreign minister, it was extremely rare for Han Fei to see the court discussions of Qin's attack on Zhao. In Xianyang Palace, Han Fei remained silent until the Qin king finally gave the order, and the general Huan Jue was appointed as the official. The general who attacked Zhao led 50,000 troops from Xianyang, joined the Pingyang heavy armor army stationed in Taiyuan County and Hedong County, and left Taihang to directly attack the hinterland of Zhao State north of the capital of Zhao State.

At the same time, Yang Duanhe, the governor of Hanoi County, was appointed as a partial general. He led his army out of Hanoi and joined forces with Wang Jian, a partial general who set out from Xianyang. A total of 70,000 people crossed the river and attacked the line of Zhao's Great Wall south of Zhanghe. Containing Zhao's capital elite, they provided fighter opportunities for General Huanjue's army to advance into Zhao's hinterland.

With 170,000 troops, 50,000 civilians, and countless weapons, armor, and grains coming out of Qin's arsenals and granaries, Han Fei experienced the pressure from South Korea head-on for the first time.

The strength of Qin is no longer due to the bravery and fearlessness of its soldiers on the battlefield, but to being superior to the six countries in all aspects.

The power of Qin made Han Fei think of South Korea. Thinking of his past ambitions, Han Fei couldn't help but feel decadent.

It turns out that I am also the frog at the bottom of the well? The State of Qi showed me that big countries cannot be relied upon. I thought that a small country like South Korea might not have any chance at all. But in front of Qin, does South Korea really have a chance?

Although I can make South Korea stronger, why can't others make their own countries stronger? South Korea may be able to progress, but Qin will also progress under the rule of the Qin Dynasty. This is an era of constant competition among countries. It doesn't mean that you think you are strong, you really have an advantage.

The Zhao State was not weak at that time, ranking first among the six Shandong states, but when it encountered the stronger Qin State, wasn't it still a complete defeat?

Han Fei was thinking worriedly about Zhongzhong, and even forgot that he was no longer in the court hall at this time, but in Qin Wangzheng's study.

"Sir, do you think the Qin army may be victorious this time when they attack Zhao?" Qin Wangzheng looked at Han Fei and said.

The King of Qin asked Han Fei, a foreign minister, to participate in the court discussion of Qin's attack on Zhao. Of course, he had a deeper meaning. He wanted Han Fei to see the power of Qin and truly conquer Han Fei.

"The Qin army has 200,000 soldiers. The soldiers are elite soldiers and the generals are famous generals. How can they be invincible?" Han Fei affirmed.

"Sir, do you really think so?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"That's right." Han Fei said.

"But..." Han Fei said, showing hesitation.

"Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly," King Qin said.

"The Qin army is certainly powerful, but how much does the king know about Zhao and its army?" Han Fei asked.

"On the military battlefield, you can't win by being strong. Only the strongest can win." Han Fei expressed his hesitation.

"General Pang Nuan of the State of Zhao is just an old man with a gray beard. He once joined forces with the general of the State of Wei and was defeated by Yang Hujun of the State of Qin. Huanjue can still win against him. As for the other generals of the State of Zhao, "Although he is a good general, the generals under my command are not mediocre generals either." King Qin Zhengxin said.

At this time, Yang Ming, who was far away in Hedong, did not know that because he pushed Zhao Ji to promote the pro-government of Qin Wang in advance, it would have such a series of effects.

Without the changes that happened in the eighth and ninth years of the Qin Dynasty in the original trajectory, the Qin Dynasty lost a third of the forbearance and depth that it once had, but had a bit more of the high-spiritedness of the young King of Qin. It should have happened in the Qin Dynasty. The war to attack Zhao in the thirteenth year was unexpectedly advanced by several years by Qin Wangzheng. Qin Wangzheng, who was in the process of monopolizing power, actually started to promote this war in the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng.

"If this is the case, the Qin army will be victorious." Han Fei affirmed.

"I think so too." King Qin Zheng said confidently. This was the first battle he had personally caused since he took office. Of course, he was determined to win. He used heavy troops to contain the main force of the Zhao army in the capital of Zhao State in the southern border. On the front line of the Great Wall, surprise troops will be sent out from Taihang to attack the hinterland of Zhao State and cut off the north and south of Zhao State in one fell swoop. Even if they cannot destroy Zhao State in one battle, they can still severely damage Zhao State.

It's a pity that although Qin Wangzheng is definitely the most intelligent, creative and ambitious person in the world, he is still a human being after all.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Buwei, who had returned from Xianyang Palace, sat in the study without sadness or joy. He felt more and more the Qin Wangzheng's alienation from him.

Lu Buwei could understand such a thing, but when it actually happened to him, he still felt sad. After all, with Qin Wangzheng's current alienation from him, Lu Buwei knew very well that if he wanted to escape unscathed, he could only Being able to completely let go of the power in your hands.

But how many people can let go of the word power so easily.

Lu Buwei was somewhat unwilling to think about what he had been pursuing all his life. He wanted to retire after success and retreat bravely. Lu Buwei understood all the similar principles, but although he understood the principles, he might not be able to understand them thoroughly.

This is what Lu Buwei is like now.

Moreover, this battle to attack Zhao made Lu Buwei see the crisis. The army penetrated deep into the hinterland of a big country. Although it could be a surprise, Zhao was still a big country. Moreover, there were many plains in the hinterland of Zhao, and the Zhao army He is the best in cavalry and archery among the seven countries, and he is fighting mobile warfare with the Zhao army in the plains. Is that really reliable?

But Lu Buwei, who saw the danger involved, did not say a word from beginning to end. When the general Huan Jue vowed to guarantee victory in front of Qin Wangzheng, Lu Buwei chose to remain silent.

At that time, Lu Buwei had an impulse from the devil in his heart: If Huanjue were defeated, maybe the king would be able to realize my importance, and he would know that I am still indispensable in the Qin State.

Lu Buwei thought and struggled. In this silent study, there was only the sound of his breathing and his swaying mind.

Under Lu Buwei's strange thoughts, the aura of war in Xianyang City was quickly activated. Yang Ming, who was far away in Hedong County, did not realize that Qin was going to attack Zhao until he saw the governor of Hedong County recruiting soldiers and civilians.

"Hey, this excludes me." Yang Ming looked at the bamboo slip in his hand and handed it to Yan Lingji, who was sitting opposite him across the stone table.

In the past period of time, Yan Lingji has not lived in Yang Ming's house in Anyi City. In Yan Lingji's words, now that she has finally escaped from the prison of the past, how can she let herself go again? Get into another cage.

In this regard, Yang Ming naturally didn't have much to say. Yang Ming was not in a hurry to eat a delicacy like Yan Lingji. He wanted to wait, waiting for Yan Lingji to take the initiative and willingly lie under him.

Of course, Yang Ming will never admit that there is another reason, that is, Zhao Ji is still in this courtyard. As the Queen Mother, Zhao Ji is also a woman. She can accommodate the Frightened Salamander and the maid. Hu Ji, but she may not be able to accommodate Yan Lingji, especially now that Zhao Ji prefers a family of three living together. She doesn't like and doesn't want a third person to disturb her life.

Today, Yan Lingji took advantage of Zhao Ji's return to the palace and sneaked into the courtyard. Yang Ming was naturally happy to see such a thing happen. After all, the feeling of stealing is really wonderful and has a lot of fun. .

"It seems that your status in Qin is not that high?" Yan Lingji looked at the bamboo slip in her hand and lit it with understanding. Just now, Yang Ming had read out the contents of the bamboo slip for her.

"Have I ever said that I have a high status in Qin?" Yang Ming asked.

"Isn't there?" Yan Lingji stared at Yang Ming seriously and seriously with her blue eyes.

"I only said that I had some thin noodles in Qin State, and for a fool, this thin noodles were used up." Yang Ming said with a heavy face.

"Really?" Yan Lingji said innocently, but she did not dare to dwell on this matter any longer.

Because past experience and experiences have told Yan Lingji countless times that when the topic goes in this direction, she will inevitably be coerced by Yang Ming to repay her kindness, and she will have to pay a heavy price for this.

Yan Lingji will not be fooled easily at this time.

"Are those people more powerful than you? King Qin actually used them instead of you, who is already in Hedong County?" Yan Lingji, who was already smart, took the initiative to change the subject.

"It's not necessarily better than me. It's just that they are the people that the king of Xianyang wants to use more. This is good, and it can save me a lot of trouble. If not, how can I sit here and appreciate it now? What about the scenery from you?" Yang Ming smiled.

"My scenery?" Yan Lingji was startled for a moment, then pulled the black underwear under her skirt and said coquettishly: "Do you want to see more scenery? Or let the scenery change. It becomes a beautiful sight.”

"Of course the beautiful scenery is more attractive." Yang Ming said.

"Then I will..." Yan Lingji said as she pulled down her inner garment. Under the black lines, a snow-like color slowly emerged, forming a mountain of fat. Yang Ming could already see the outline.

Just when Yang Ming wanted to see more, Yan Lingji suddenly pulled up her inner clothes and said jokingly to Yang Ming: "It's so beautiful, I won't let you see it."

"You seem to have forgotten one thing." Facing the disappearing scenery, Yang Ming was not disappointed, but said very calmly.

"What did I forget?" Yan Lingji asked in shock.

"This is my territory." Yang Ming sneered.
