The first thousand four hundred and thirty-five chapters on the destruction of Qi
"Is the Prime Minister of Qi Hou Sheng dead?"
Bai Qianhong's expression moved slightly, slightly surprised.
Hou Sheng is dead?
I haven't received this news yet, I'm afraid it came in recent days, otherwise such a big thing would have reached me very quickly.
"Meng Yi."
Qin Wangzheng nodded and looked at Meng Yi who was waiting for him.
"Miss Bai."
"A few days ago, news came from Linzi of the State of Qi that Hou Sheng was killed by an official who had an old grudge. At present, Linzi is in chaos."
Meng Yi bowed his hands and looked at Bai Qianhong.
I am also curious about this person. If I stay with the king, I will naturally know that this person is next to Wu Zhenhou, and that the woman is a general?
The difficulty is not that great. Even though Marquis Wu Zhen and the King agreed, the resistance in the army is not small. Now... the young men in the army are competing for the first victory.
Wang Ben destroyed Wei.
Li Xin attacked Chu.
Qi is also a big country, and has long been watched by other generals.
However, I think Miss Bai's matter will not fade away so easily.
Zhou Qing was also a little surprised and confused. He had just heard this news from Brother Wang, and I am afraid it happened in the past few days.
"A doctor with an old grudge?"
"Whether it is true or not, Hou Sheng's death is their goal. Since the death of Queen Hou of Qi State, all the military and political power of Qi State has fallen into the hands of Hou Sheng, the uncle of the King of Qi."
"Today...when the situation in Zhuxia is going to end, those people have very clear goals."
"On the one hand, we want to bring order to the chaos and rebuild the temples of Qi. But if we want to do this, the king of Qi must come out of the palace to take charge. It will be difficult to achieve results within three to five years."
"The second reason is that for the current Qi-Chu matter, I want to remove the resistance to victory and rescue the Chu State in order to survive."
"The third reason is that the people of Qi want to save themselves. The general situation of Qin is clear. The three Jins will not survive, and Yan and Zhao are both dead. The ambitious people of Qi want to stop it. This is the plan to win later."
Although the news has just been learned, it is not a hindrance.
The queen of Qi wins!
Although he is an ordinary person, his position is extremely important. Now that he is dead, the whole country of Qi will inevitably be in chaos. Many forces are mixed together, and the good and disaster are unknown.
"Can the State of Qi help the State of Chu?"
A word of appreciation from the King of Qin.
"The state of Qi did not help the state of Chu. In the past, the five states attacked Qi, and the state of Chu was one of them. The grievances between Qi and Chu are not small."
"How can the King of Qi win after victory? No doubt it is the strategy of some people in the country, who want to unite the Chu State to fight against Qin? However... I have always heard that the King of Qi is extremely filial, and I have not dared to forget the dying words of the queen.
.”
"With Mr. Gai Nie and Shang Qingdun still weak, it will be impossible for Qi to help Chu."
"But if Chu is destroyed next, Qi may have to work hard to protect itself."
Bai Qianhong showed her head and shook it gently.
The State of Qi will not help the State of Chu. Firstly, there is no time. Secondly, the King of Qi has listened to the advice of the Queen and has been close to Qin for decades. It is difficult to change.
"Previously, the Central Committee made a conclusion. It was said that if Chu was destroyed first, Qi might be able to surrender without a fight."
"What do you think, Miss Bai?"
King Qin held a cup and drank freely.
Qi and Chu attacked successively, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, but he still chose to attack Chu first, in order to prepare for a battle to determine the final outcome.
The war against Qi may no longer exist.
"The King of Qi has been lazy in his affairs for decades and has been constantly preparing his army. If the Qin army presses the country, there will definitely be talk of surrender in the court."
"However, I heard that Tian Dan, Tian Jia and others in the temples of Qi State have always been hostile to Qin, and have been at odds with Hou Sheng for many years. Even if the King of Qi intends to surrender, those people will lead the remaining forces to resist."
Qi surrendered without a fight!
There is this possibility, and it is extremely likely, and Bai Qianhong also agrees.
It is impossible for Qi to surrender without any resistance. Qi... is a big country after all. After decades of rest and recuperation, the treasury is strong, and the troops can be organized at will, they can have an army of one hundred thousand.
Thinking that obstruction is the true nature of Qi Ren.
Otherwise, it would have been destroyed by the Yan Kingdom in the first place.
"Hahaha, um..., but that's what others think."
"Therefore, the Qin army attacked Chu first, and then attacked Qi."
"If we take the lead in attacking Qi, I'm afraid the entire Qi army will move in unison."
"After destroying Chu, if you attack Qi again, your power will be weak."
"As long as some resistance is wiped out, Qi can conquer."
King Qin Zheng smiled brightly.
Surrender without a fight!
Nothing like that has happened in thousands of years, not to mention the current chaos in the temples of Qi State. Those people who cannot help Chu State must seek to protect themselves.
It attacks every day, but resistance still exists.
Not to take the lead.
"Your Majesty, right now... it is better to attack and destroy Chu State first."
Beside, Gongsun Li smiled.
The matter of annihilating Qi is still a little far away.
Let's deal with the immediate trouble first, otherwise...if you climb high and look far, your feet may be unstable.
"Hahaha, Li'er is right."
"Chu State!"
"Xiang Yan gathered a large army in the land of Ruyin, with more than 400,000 troops, and constant support from grain, grass and baggage. The next battle is to completely destroy the Chu army."
Qin Wangzheng laughed again.
indeed.
The biggest trouble at hand is Chu State, and it is still a big trouble. Next, the counties outside the Qin State Pass will also have to mobilize their troops quickly.
"That time won't be long."
Zhou Qing raised his wine bottle and saluted him from a distance.
"I believe it won't be long."
Qin Wangzheng nodded deeply.
******
"Sir, how about entering the palace today?"
Qi State Linzi.
The city has been silent these past few days, and there is no longer the bustle and bustle of the past.
The King of Qi personally ordered that before the outcome of Prime Minister Hou Sheng's death was clear, martial law would be enforced throughout Linzi, and anyone who obstructed him would be punished with serious crimes.
In a corner of the city, there is the Qin State Pedestrian Hall.
Seeing Dunwei in front of him, who was wearing the most formal attire of an envoy of the Qin State, Gai Nie bowed his hands and bowed. Following Hou Sheng's death, Qi Wangjian finally walked out of the palace.
And he directly issued such an order.
Taking advantage of this incident, Dunruo entered the palace in person to get a glimpse of King Qi's speech.
"When I entered the palace today, I met Tian Jia, the younger brother of King Qi."
"From time to time, although I tried to find out something from the King of Qi, he was led to another place and nothing was gained. Even so... the situation is also obvious."
Dunruo took a cup of tea from the waiter and drank it in one gulp. The weather... was getting hotter and hotter.
Stretching his arms, the waiter slowly took off his outer robe, looked at Guigu Gainei, and said that he had gained nothing by entering the palace today, but in fact, he had gained nothing.
"The palace changes up and down?"
Gai Nie was surprised.
After all, those people in Tianjia are important officials of the Qi State, and they are also from the royal family. For decades, their power cannot be underestimated.
"Nothing."
"Although there is no follow-up gain from the victory today, Tianjia mentioned the battle between Qin and Chu in his conversation with the King of Qi, and used words to test the King of Qi's order to send troops to help Chu."
"I was scolded by the King of Qi and forgot about the remnants of the Chu State that destroyed Qi, so... I gained something."
After Hou Sheng died, Linzi didn't know much about the subsequent changes in government and opposition, but...he got another piece of news from Tian Jia.
The King of Qi was not willing to help Chu!
Not to mention, in the current temple, the remnant strength of Hou Sheng is not small. As expected, those people from Tianjia got the upper hand, and they did not end well.
I guess it's time to put in some effort.
"Is there any movement from those people in Baijia?"
In the past few days, the two of them had a clear division of labor. Dunruo himself was responsible for the contacts with the temples of Qi State, while Mr. Genie was responsible for the movements of people from hundreds of families.
Afterwards, he wins and dies!
With so many guards around him, can just one doctor succeed?
joke!
Those people were definitely involved.
"Those people have been going in and out of fields, farmhouses and other mansions for days. Even though I don't know the details, it's very clear."
Gai Nie nodded.
"Fortunately, there is no big problem in Chu State."
"Although the 200,000-strong army was damaged, we heard that the most elite Tenglong Army under Xiang Yan's command was lost by more than half overnight."
"Together with the rest of the damage, it is not inferior to the Qin army."
Putting on light casual clothes, he took a few steps forward and knelt down on the soft couch. Although he was responsible for the situation in Qi State, everything was still under control.
The most important thing at the moment is to provide convenience for Qin to destroy Chu.
The most important thing is that the State of Qi will not help the State of Chu, and this decision... The King of Qi has.
Then...the two of them felt a lot relieved.
And judging from the news coming from Chu in the past two days, although Changping Lord's rebellion against Qin is shocking,... the battle against Chu is even more important.
Li Xin's army was attacked from both sides, but fortunately Wu Zhenhou and Meng Tian's army rescued them. They broke out and gathered troops to level the battle, thinking that a bigger war would follow.
"Xiang Yan is a famous general of the Chu State. The army gathered under his command this time exceeds 400,000."
"There are many private soldiers from the old clans among them, and their combat prowess is no worse than that of the garrison soldiers."
"General Li Xin has lost a lot of troops. He will definitely send more troops next. If he wants to start a war, I'm afraid it won't be until autumn."
Gai Nie holds a copper pot and brews millet leaves.
The news from Chu State has also been heard here in Linzi, and the momentum is not small. There are also many people from Qi State who are paying attention to the people of Qin and Chu.
Without the timely rescue of Marquis Wu Zhen and Meng Tian, Li Xin's 200,000-strong army might have been completely wiped out. After all... Haotian's curtain fell.
"After Autumn?"
"Isn't that still a few months away?"
Weird and strange.
"Li Xin was defeated and the morale of the Chu army was at its peak. We cannot compete with him in a short period of time."
"And the main point of Li Xin's military defeat this time is that there is no stability in the north of Huaibei, and it was planned by Lord Changping. The next advance must be to the north of Huaibei."
"If the army advances again, the above general Wang Jian's military tactics will lead to a great battle against Chu."
Gai Nie nodded.
Explain it.
"Sir, who do you think will be the next leader?"
General Li Xin failed in his attack on Chu, and his deputy Meng Wu was also implicated.
The attack on Chu was an important matter, so Dun Ruo felt...perhaps General Wang Jian might take action himself, as he would be the most stable person to destroy Chu.
"General Li Xin's army has been defeated. If there is no accident, the king will replace his general."
"But I heard that Marquis Wu Zhen brought General Li Xin and General Meng Wu to Xianyang City to plead guilty. I'm afraid... Marquis Wu Zhen wants Li Xin to continue to lead the army to destroy Chu."
Gai Nie... said with a hint of uncertainty.
"General Li Xin continues to lead the troops?"
Suddenly surprised.
Mr. Gai Nie has always been prudent and has no absolute certainty. He rarely talks about uncertain things. Now that he has said this, then... the result is determined?
General Li Xin continues to be a general!
But... this is inconsistent with the tradition of the Qin State. General Li Xin did commit a serious crime in the previous battle. As expected, he continued to let him lead the troops to destroy Chu regardless of his crime. Thinking that... he had contributed to the destruction of the country?
That would not be good. Although Marquis Wu Zhen has the king's heart, but... this matter is not a trivial matter.
