Chapter 44: Going South

Half a month later, Wang Ben led his troops north to defend Zhao State, and Meng Tian began to march towards Yangdi.

At this time, South Korea was the reign of Han Huanhui, King Han Yu, and his name was difficult to read. It reads like "chicken shit" in Mandarin in later generations. However, the accents at this time were different, so there was no such bad taste. In the Warring States Period, the accents of various countries were very different from those in later generations. Meng Tian was fortunate to hear the purebred Han Chinese. After the Five Barbarians invaded China, the invasion of the Mongol Yuan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China's pronunciation language was influenced by the Hu tribe and had long lost its original flavor. Those time travelers from later generations suddenly came to this era. The language problem alone was a big gap.

"Now there are only two counties left in South Korea, and the King of Han is as timid as a mouse. This time, the Korean king should not be hindered." In the carriage, Bu Xing was studying the latest military map. Since following Meng Ao on the battlefield, Bu Xing understood his lack of military knowledge. Over the past few years, he has been studying hard. His ancestor Xia did not object to his disciples' learning of military affairs. Instead, he encouraged his disciples to absorb and learn from others' strengths. The more he studied the various theories, the more Bu Xing could understand the limitations of Confucianism. Compared with the Legalist theory, Confucianism was extremely lacking in organization. Such a theory would only be suitable for a scattered and unorganized society and not suitable for gathering social strength. Bu Xing had been thinking about how to add some rigid elements to the flexible Confucianism.

"Han is on the main road to the north of Chu State. The King of Han dared not be an enemy of Qin State, nor did he dare to offend Chu State easily." Fourteen-year-old Gan Luo showed his intelligence early and analyzed, "If the Chu army goes north, and South Korea pretends to be deaf and mute and lets the people of Chu pass, it will cause great trouble for the Qin State. During the Battle of Handan, Chunshen Jun led his army to the north. South Korea neither blocked nor reported it, which caused the Qin army to be attacked from front and back, and suffered many losses."

The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Handan became an eternal pain in the hearts of the Qin people. Bai Qi died unjustly, Wang Ling was demoted to the cold palace, a large number of Qin people died in battle, and lost countless land. The victory of the Battle of Changping was almost completely lost. Shangdang, which triggered the battle between Qin and Zhao, is still in the hands of Zhao.

"Han is weak, but he is blocking the Hangu Pass of Qin and is at the heart of Qin. After all, it is a heart-wrenching problem of Qin. If he wants to conquer the six countries, Korea must first conquer it."

In the Qin Dynasty, the argument for destroying Han has been very popular since the time of King Huiwen of Qin. Gan Luo's grandfather Gan Mao also actively advocated destroying Han. Perhaps, deep down, Gan Luo hoped to complete the regret of Gan Mao's destruction of Han. When Li Si met Ying Zheng, he also actively sold the destruction of Han to Ying Zheng. Speaking of Li Si, as a disciple of Lu Buwei, he had been staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Meng Tian had never seen him before, and he didn't know when he would enter Meng Tian's vision.

"It's just that when Han Dynasty was destroyed, the princes were afraid. If they were determined to be united, Meng Hu could not resist the wolves. Qin State was afraid that it would not be able to resist it." Bu Xing did not advocate destroying Han, but could not propose a more effective strategy. After Qin Xiaogong appointed Shang Yang's reform, his national strength was booming, but he failed to achieve the goal of destroying the country. The main reason was that there was no clear strategy. Qin State had the goal of conquering the six countries, but he did not find the right method.

Compared with the six Shandong countries, Qin was a superpower of this era, but it did not reach the point of destroying and sweeping everything. When Wang Jian destroyed Chu, he used 600,000 troops, and the mistakes of Chu State, to destroy Chu State. Ying Zheng unified China, which was not as relaxed as the words of later generations.

What strategy did the King of Qin use to sweep Liuhe to finally form a situation where the general trend was overwhelming? Meng Tian was very curious. Who had conceived this great strategy. Sima Qian's record of the grandfather has no record, and Meng Tian had no clue at the moment.

"I've been marching for so long, it's almost done. Stop and stop, I'm exhausted!" On the chariot behind, Ling Qi shouted and complained. The chariots in the army were more than a little worse than the carriages equipped in the palace. The bumpy road was bumpy, and Qi's bones almost disintegrated.

After dividing the troops, Lao Ai followed Wang Jian to attack the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and ordered Qi to allocate them to Meng Tian.

"It took less than half an hour to march. According to regulations, it will take two hours to rest." The Qin army was always good at fighting hard, which had a great relationship with the usual hard marching. This made Qi take the lead and complain, which could easily affect the morale of the army. Thinking of this, Meng Tian was very dissatisfied.

"Ah? It's only half an hour before, and I feel that four or five hours have passed." Ling Qi stayed in the palace for a long time and had never suffered this pain. He deeply interpreted the principle of relativity.

"Mengbao, before I ordered the marching to stop, someone would complain about being tired and deal with it with military law!"

"promise!"

Meng Bao stared at Ling Qi fiercely, touched the bronze sword around her waist, and her eyes circled around Ling Qi's neck, which scared Ling Qi so much that he could no longer speak. He received Lao Ai's instructions and wanted to cause trouble for Meng Tian, ​​but judging from Meng Tian's appearance, he would be ungrateful and would sacrifice his life for the country.

"Report to the general, General Jing Su heard news that they found the scouts of the Chu army in the south of Yique." At this time, the scouts of the front army came from.

"Chu Army?"

Meng Tian frowned, and it was indeed not that easy to deal with. King Kaoli of Chu of Chu was once a hostage in Qin. Although his ability was not high-quality, he was not mediocre. After following Chunshen Jun's advice, he resolutely fled from Qin and returned to Chu to inherit the throne. After ascending the throne, he reused Chunshen Jun as the imperial chief. For twenty years, he worked hard to govern. Chu's national strength was quickly restored and he had just conquered Lu. You must know that Lu belongs to the traditional sphere of influence of Qin. Qi has coveted Lu for a long time, but in the end, Chu got what he wanted.

When the five countries attacked Qi, the Chu general Naochi grabbed King Min of Qi, peeled and cramped, and hung him at the city gate. The Qi people regarded it as a great shame. When the Chu State conquered Lu State, Qi wanted to send troops to obstruct him, but was defeated by Xiang Yan, a young general of the Xiang clan of Chu State. The Chu State, the largest country in the Spring and Autumn Period, had no shortage of background, and even if it was defeated by Qin State one after another, it still did not hurt the foundation. At this time, the Chu people were far less weak than those in later generations of southerners. Instead, they were brave and fierce, and their courage was even more powerful than those in the Central Plains.

In the jungle in the south, the Chu people continued to expand from fifty miles to a viscount fiefdom to a great country with a radius of 5,000 miles. The Chu people had no lack of fighting spirit in their blood. It was just the failure of the reform, coupled with the strong rise of Qin, and the talented figures like Bai Qi were produced. After several wars, the fate of Chu was interrupted.

"Send the order to speed up the marching. Be sure to arrive at Yique by noon!" The soldiers who use the army are most afraid of hesitation. After making up their minds, Meng Tian quickly issued an order, "Luo Jia, lead your cavalry to advance first and cooperate with Jing Su's front army's battle!"

"promise!"

No matter how elite soldiers were, they were just a group of mobs. After the order was issued, the well-trained Qin army took action quickly. From a distance, a raging flame ignited in the eyes of the soldiers. Feeling the smell of war, it was like a pack of wolves smelling blood. The Qin people were happy when they heard the war, and they were really not blowing.

When I was immersive, Meng Tian always remembered Prussia in later generations, with the same iron blood and the same war.

How can you not win with such a nation?

Meng Tian believes that he will complement each other with the soldiers, just like a player and a coach. When he meets a good coach, he will naturally be invincible and defeat him.

Yique, Bai Qi's place of fame, let me mourn me here and return to the ancient battlefield! Meng Tian held the Hanquan sword in his hand, full of fighting spirit, and his deep desire for war gave him the courage to soar into the sky.
