Chapter XVIII Meetings

The news given by Zhanbai was too shocking, but in the land of Spring and Autumn, everyone knew that the Mo family did not hesitate to use organs and instruments as a threat because of the protection of the Qin family, which made several other countries, especially the most powerful Qi State, carry out strict blockade and sanctions against the Qin State, and this also led to thousands of years of grievances between Qi and Qin.

In this case, someone suddenly said that the Mo family was the internal response of the Qin State, if it weren't for the words from Zhanbai's mouth, Nie Xiaofan wouldn't have believed it.

"Xiao Fan, if your gaze is only limited to the Spring and Autumn Continent, then you will never see the essence of things." Zhan Bai didn't say it explicitly, but just replied with an ambiguous sentence.

"The disciple still doesn't understand, what does this have to do with Mr.?" Nie Xiaofan shook his head and didn't delve any further, but returned to the topic.

"Qin's southern conquest and northern war, Eastern Imperial Qi, this is just a beginning, and it is only an illusion, its real purpose is only one, that is...... Unification of the Spring and Autumn Continent. Such a good show, even if you can't participate in it, it would be a pity if you can't see it with your own eyes. Speaking of which, Zhanbai has returned to his usual breezy appearance, smiling and looking at the sky.

A crescent moon floats above the faint clouds like a boat across the sea.

personally led a thousand blood refining troops, but just wanted to be the audience of this wonderful change, is this really the case?

Nie Xiaofan was skeptical of Zhanbai's answer, not that he didn't believe Zhanbai, but he just felt that the latter didn't confide the truth to him.

"Sir, where do we go from here?" Nie Xiaofan knew that he knew too little information, and he couldn't figure out why, so he simply didn't think about it anymore.

"The capital of the Han Kingdom, Jimo." Zhan Bai's expression was slightly solemn, "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid the Han Kingdom won't be able to support it for long." The most exciting part of this southern expedition is probably about to be staged in Jimo. In this case, we might as well go over as soon as possible to find a good audience platform. ”

The conversation between the two ended, and more than a thousand blood refining soldiers hurried towards Jimo's reassurance.

……

As Zhan Bai said, in the face of the northern and southern attacks of Qin and Chu, the Han State can be said to be defeated. It's not that the Han ** is not strong, and being able to suppress the Chu State to the death in nearly a hundred years is the best proof.

It's just a pity that the opponent is stronger in comparison. However, the Han State has a fatal weakness, in fact, it is not only the Han State, even the Chu State is the same, that is, the lack of famous generals.

I think that at the beginning, there was still Wu Qi in the Chu State, but there was only one Wu Qi, otherwise, with the strong national strength and military strength of the Chu State at that time, it would not only suppress the Han State.

The Eight Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, since the date of division, are mutual checks and balances, the dispute between Qi and Qin, the grievances of Chu and Han, the competition for the succession of Zhao Wei and Han, and the change of dynasties between Yan and Zhongshan, and finally formed a balanced trend, so that if you force into the Qi State, you can only occupy the overlord of the righteousness, and it is absolutely impossible to unify the Spring and Autumn Period.

Not to mention other countries, Chu and Han were originally located in the south, with fertile land and prosperous people, and their national strength was very good among the eight countries, but because of this, there was more comfortable life, and the domestic atmosphere also wore off the edge, resulting in the military strength was not strong, and there was a lack of famous generals in the two countries.

As soon as Wu Qi died, the decline of the Chu State was immediately apparent, coupled with the struggle for domestic power, which finally allowed the Han State to live in the mountains later, and it was strong for nearly a hundred years.

The so-called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, until now, Chu's ** force may not have changed much, but because of the sophisticated equipment provided by Zhanbai, coupled with Su Qin's rectification in the past two years, the morale has been completely renewed, and it has vaguely surpassed the Han Kingdom. If you can pour the country to resist the Chu State, it will not be easy for the two to distinguish the winners and losers. But in fact, because of Qin's sudden dispatch of troops, the Han State was caught off guard and had to divide more than half of its troops to the north, and this was tantamount to adding insult to injury, and under the attack of the two countries, there was nothing surprising about the rout.

In one day, the right army of Chu captured Biancheng. Ten days later, the Left Route Army broke through Xiangcheng. Two days later, the army of the middle road broke through Wolong City, an important border town of the Han Kingdom, and since then, the door of the Han Kingdom has been opened, and there is no precipitous plain for thousands of miles. In this battle, a total of more than 200,000 elites of the Han army were killed. Then the three-way army started to work side by side, advancing for 100 miles every day, and it took only three months to capture the three-point Han Kingdom.

At the same time, in the northern battlefield of the Han State, the 150,000 Qin army, under the leadership of the general Zhang Han, did not adopt the strategy of dividing the troops and attacking, attacking the surface with points, relying on the powerful bow and crossbow of the Qin army, destroying the city and pulling out the village, and completely annihilated the elite 360,000 elite Han army in one battle, achieving the classic of winning more with less, and also relying on this battle, so that Zhang Han's name once again resounded throughout the Spring and Autumn Continent.

That's the difference between having a nameless and not being a name.

Don't look at the Qin State has been suppressed by the Qi State for hundreds of years, but its three famous domestic generals, Bai Qi, Meng Tian and Zhang Han, are well-known in the Spring and Autumn Period. Coupled with the strong bow and crossbow and sharp armor, except for Qi and foreign countries, the other six countries really can't find one that can touch its edge.

Different from the poor mountains and bad waters of the Qin State, the Han State located in the south can be described as a fertile field, once the border defense is broken, its country is rarely steep to rely on, coupled with the destruction of more than 500,000 elite border troops, it is to shake the foundation of the Han State, the sporadic resistance in the country, how can the proud soldiers of the Qin and Chu countries be stopped.

Every day, a large area of the land is lost, so that the court of the Han Kingdom is frightened three times a day, and cannot sleep at night, I don't know how many envoys have been sent to other countries, or know the reason, or move it with affection or induce it to benefit, and ask for help.

Under the repeated operation, it is not without effect.

The first to react was undoubtedly the Qi State, and the millions of Qi troops guarding the frontier attacked brazenly and launched the fiercest attack on the Qin State in hundreds of years. As for other countries...... The Yan State politely refused on the grounds that it had just been restored and its national strength was weak. The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, although their military strength is good, but because of their mutual discord, they are worried that after they brazenly send troops, they will be taken advantage of by their neighbors.

The clear statements of the other five countries made the Han State finally press its hope on the Qi State, and while trying its best to resist the Qin and Chu armies, they also paid attention to the battle of Qi and Qin, hoping that the latter could end as soon as possible and force the Qin State army to withdraw their troops and return, so that they could concentrate on dealing with their old enemy Chu State.

For a time, the eyes of the entire Spring and Autumn Continent were focused on the Battle of Qin Qi.

In the first battle of Qi and Qin, the country of Qi sent millions of troops, commanded by the general Sun Wu, and the fierce generals under his command were like clouds, with more than ten generals such as Tian Ji, Sun Bin and Tian Dan, and the million army was even more powerful and strong, spreading out, shaking the sky and defending the earth, how can a mighty one describe it.

Looking at the side of the Qin State, it gathered 300,000 troops, commanded by the famous general Bai Qi, although it was also mighty, but compared with the Qi State, it was inevitably discolored.

In this battle, few people were optimistic about the Qin State, after all, in terms of troops, ordnance, and famous generals, the Qi State all had a huge advantage.

And Bai Qi obviously knew this, and did not recklessly go out of the city to fight a decisive battle, but relied on geography, resisted layer by layer, and excluded a large number of scouts, sneak attack and harassed the grain and grass of Qi State. On the other hand, Sun Wu, as a god of war whose fame is slightly higher than that of Bai Qi, is not far behind, although he has an army of millions, he is not conservative at all in his every move, and he frequently attacks and wins with surprise.

Between each other, there are temptations again and again, each with its own victory and defeat, but the main force rarely goes head-to-head. However, on the whole, the Qi State slowly occupied the initiative, and after three months, the whole army successfully broke through the border defense and entered the hinterland of the Qin State. It's a pity that unlike the Han State, the Qin State did not collapse because of this, but relied on the familiarity of the terrain to win three battles in a row, killing more than 100,000 enemies, coupled with the Qin State's system of all soldiers, it is possible to raid and harass the Qi State army at any time, in this case, the Qi State army fell into the quagmire, and the pace of the march slowed down significantly. This also started a long-term tug-of-war between each other.

The war on Qin Qi's side fell into a stalemate, but it was the Han State that was struggling to support.

In just one year, ninety percent of the territory has fallen, and under layers of oppression, the remaining 500,000 remnants of the defeated army have finally shrunk to the capital Jimo, and they have been ready to fight to the death.

At this point, the two armies of Qin and Chu were one north and one south, almost encircling Jimo.

The Qin army was 150,000, and when it reached Jimo, there were more than 120,000 left, in other words, after more than a year of expedition, only 30,000 were lost, in contrast, the results of the battle became more and more abundant, and the recorded ones were enough to kill the Han army of 670,000. Its combat power is so strong that it is embarrassing.

Looking at the Chu army's side, there were 400,000 troops at the time of the launch, and after advancing layer by layer, when they reached Jimo, although they also killed more than 500,000 Han troops, their own losses were also shocking, and there were only 260,000 left.

Outside Jimo City, the armor is continuous, and at a glance, it is full of gloomy and murderous atmosphere.

Perhaps they didn't expect the other party to make such a fast progress, when the two armies arrived outside Jimo City at the same time, the two armies of Qin and Chu did not immediately launch a siege war, but instead sent messengers to each other, and finally met in the safe area where the two armies met.

In this meeting, Zhang Han, the general of the Qin State, personally came forward, while the Chu State sent Su Qin.

Mi Jun did not participate, not because he was unwilling, but because he couldn't save face. Although the Qin army sent the supreme commander, after all, he was only a general, and he was too different from Mi Jun in terms of status, so he finally sent Su Qin to come forward.

At the point of the meeting, a small number of generals from both sides had been sent by both sides the night before to level the earthwork and build a simple military tent.

On the day of the meeting, Zhang Han personally led 2,000 personal soldiers, and along the way, it can be said that he showed off his military power to the extreme. Seeing all this in Su Qin's eyes, his expression couldn't help but become solemn.

"Strategist, it's Qin Ying Swordsman." A personal guard hurriedly stepped forward, pointed to the two thousand elite soldiers behind Zhang Han, and reminded Su Qin's ear.

Qin Ying swordsman, the elite of the elite of the Qin ** team, pick one at random, almost all of them are ten thousand enemies. Not only is his swordsmanship extraordinary, but he is also proficient in horse steps and crossbows, even among the powerful Qin army, the number is extremely rare, only two thousand people. It can be on par with Wei Wushu, Zhao Guo's Hufu Jingcai, and Qi State's skilled fighters, but the latter three have tens of thousands.

The Spring and Autumn Eight Kingdoms, no matter how strong or weak, in order to maintain their rule, the royal families of each country will almost spared no expense to create the most world-famous elite people. Among them, the skilled warriors of the Qi State, the Qin Eagle Swordsmen of the Qin State, the Wei Wushu of the Wei State and the Hufu Jingcai of the Zhao State are the most famous and the strongest in terms of comprehensive combat power. The heavy armored flying cavalry of the original Chu State, the white-eared spearmen of the Han State, and the Tiger Lie Army of South Korea followed, even the subverted Zhongshan Kingdom also had a strong Zhongshan King Cavalry, but unfortunately it was already ancient.

Of course, because of the battle for succession, the most elite troops of the Chu State are no longer heavy-armored flying horses, and as for who is replaced, it is not known to outsiders, maybe it is the Yulin Army, or it is the Yixue Army, or it is ......

Hearing the reminder of the guard, Rao is Su Qin also gasped.

As far as he knew, the total number of Qin Ying swordsmen was only about two thousand, and now it seemed that all of them were under Zhang Han's command. Looking around, he saw that the two thousand indifferent-looking guards behind Zhang Han who were wearing light armor and holding Qin Jian just stood still, giving people a sense of strong depression that was breathless.

"Qin Ying Swordsman really lives up to his reputation!" Su Qin sighed and couldn't help but look back at his pro-army.

Although Qin and Chu are allies, they are still two families after all, and the purpose of today's meeting is basically to meet in the early stage for the distribution of interests after Jimo. In order to obtain more benefits, the two sides naturally have to flex their force in order to gain the initiative in negotiations. For this reason, in yesterday's correspondence to each other, it was stated that each side could bring 2,000 personal guards to protect each of them today.

Here, Zhang Han has already made a move, as soon as the two thousand Qin Eagle swordsmen appeared, they gave Su Qin a strong pressure on his side, if he couldn't fight back, then the subsequent negotiations would be difficult.

Su Qin couldn't see this deep meaning, but when he turned around, his face still showed bitterness involuntarily.

It was also a personal soldier of two thousand people, but compared with the Qin Ying swordsman on the opposite side, the gap was really ......

The composition of the two thousand personal soldiers behind Su Qin is quite complicated, and even less than half of the personal guards who really belong to him alone, and the other half are from the Yulin Army and the Yixue Army, these two armies are not so much here to protect Su Qin, but because Mi Jun is not at ease, they are specially sent to supervise. As for the other half of the personal guards, they are also mixed, most of them are the personal guards given to Su Qin when Mi Jun first ascended the throne, although after several years of training, but after all, the time is too short, how strong can it be, even compared to the Yulin Army and the Yixue Army, let alone compared to the Qin Ying Swordsman. The only thing that reassured Su Qin might be the one hundred and ten people who were following behind him.

Don't underestimate these hundred and ten people, as the object of their protection, Su Qin has really seen their power, whether it is individual combat power or group battle or infantry horse bow and crossbow, all of them are refined, in this respect, they are very similar to Qin Ying swordsmen, the only difference on the surface may be that the main weapon they use is not a sword.

"Zhang Han, the great general of the Great Qin Empire, who is here, don't get his name quickly." Zhang Han's eagle-like eyes quickly fixed on the oncoming Su Qin, and he shouted with full anger.

"The student is Yin Suqin, the left commander of the Chu ** division, and he has seen General Zhang." (To be continued.) )
