From BC, Qin spent ten years fighting a war to unify the six kingdoms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qin 14-Yingzheng, first of all, started from Korea, the weakest of the six countries.
In 230 B.C., Painai Shiten led his troops to attack Korea, captured Han Wang'an, and put the acquired Han land as Yingchuan County, and Korea was destroyed.
In 229 BC, Qin took advantage of the great earthquake and famine in Zhao to send Wang Jian to lead his troops to attack Zhao. Zhao sent Li Mu and Sima Shang to lead troops to resist. Wang Jian bribed Guo Kai, King Zhao's favorite retainer, with a lot of money, which intensified the internal rivalry among the ruling group of Zhao State, and as a result, King Zhao killed Li Mu, causing dissatisfaction in the army and sloppy combat effectiveness. Wang Jian took the opportunity to attack in a big way. In 228 BC, the Qin army drove into Handan, and Zhao Wangqian was forced to sacrifice a map to surrender to Qin. Zhao Gongzijia led hundreds of his clan to flee to Zhao's Dai County and set himself up as the acting king.
In 222 BC, Wang Ben captured Daicheng and captured Dai Wang Jia, and Zhao was completely destroyed. When the Qin army was chasing Zhao Gongzijia, the army approached the southwestern frontier of Yan, and Yan was threatened with annihilation.
In 227 BC, Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the Qin Wangzheng in an unsuccessful attempt, and the Qin King immediately sent Wang Jian and Xin Sheng to lead troops to attack Yan and defeat the main force of the Yan army west of Yishui. In 226 BC, Wang Jian led his troops to capture Yandu Ji, and Yan Wangxi fled to Liaodong, so he had to kill the prince Dan and sacrifice the prince's head to the Qin army to sue for peace. It's late winter. The heavy snow closed the mountains and made it inconvenient to march, so Qin Wangzheng withdrew the army from the north and used troops to the south.
In 222 BC, Wang Ben captured Liaodong and captured Yan Wangxi, who was completely destroyed.
In 225 BC, Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, led an army of 100,000 to attack Wei. The Qin army surrounded the Wei capital Daliang, dug a ditch, and after three months, the city of Daliang Yucheng, the king of Wei faked his surrender. Wei died.
In 224 BC, Qin sent Wang Jian to lead an army of 600,000 to attack Chu. Wang Jian chose a favorable terrain to set up camp, and adopted the strategy of training troops and martial arts, fortifying the wall without fighting, paralyzing the enemy, and waiting for work at leisure, and Qin Wangzheng mobilized all manpower and material resources to support the front. After more than a year like this, the fighting spirit of the Chu army gradually relaxed, and there was a shortage of food and grass, which was difficult to support. "It is to lead to the east". Wang Jian led the Qin army to pursue when the Chu army retreated, quickly eliminated the main force of the Chu army, and then occupied the Chu capital Shouchun and captured the Chu king.
In 222 BC, Wang Jian led his army across the Yangtze River, pacified the southern part of the Chu River, subdued the Yue Jun, set up Huiji County, and the Chu State fell.
The Qin State has been very successful in its long-term encirclement of the Qi State, and the King of Qi has reigned for more than 40 years. It was not until after the destruction of the Five Kingdoms that the ruling group of the Qi State panicked and "sent troops to guard its western boundary".
In 221 BC, Qin Wangzheng ordered Wang Ben to lead his army south after destroying Yan, and encountered almost no resistance along the way, and within a few days he entered Linzi, the capital of Qi, and Wang Jian of Qi surrendered, and the state of Qi died.
After the Qin State swept through the six countries in ten years and unified the world, it set up counties in the territory of the Great Qin Empire, and sent county guards to manage local government affairs. In the wilderness frontier of the empire, the construction of the Great Wall began, and the city was built and the garrison was appointed to defend it for a long time.
Before the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, the other Six Kingdoms, including the frontiers of the Qin State, were harassed and violated by the Manchu barbarians and nomadic minorities for a long time, which was a headache for the monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms.
You say send an army to encircle and suppress them, and they will disappear without a trace before your army arrives. The Wild Frontier is so big, if they really want to find a place to hide, you won't even be able to find out under their noses.
But don't send a large army to encircle and suppress, they are very presumptuous. As long as the residents living in the border areas are robbed, their daily necessities are looted, and even survival is a problem. Women are more dangerous, as long as they are favored by these people, they can't escape the fate of being robbed and then carrying out xxoo.
They just decided that the Seven Kingdoms would not send a large army to encircle and suppress, so they acted recklessly, and if they had no food, they would rob it, and if they didn't have women, they would rob it, and their lives would be moist and chic.
However, since 221 BC, when King Yingzheng of Qin swept through the Six Kingdoms and established the Great Qin Empire, their standard of living has declined dramatically. Sometimes, for several days in a row, they live by drinking the northwest wind. No way, who let them trigger Yingzheng's temper!
After King Qin and Ying Zheng completed the unification of the world, they began to focus on the border problem that had been a headache for him before.
He set up a city in the wilderness frontier that had been harassed by barbarians for a long time, and sent a strong army to defend it. Moreover, during this period, he also asked the general Meng Tian to lead the iron cavalry of the Great Qin Empire to conquer the outer frontier several times, and drove away the barbarian tribes and nomadic minorities living in the vicinity of the empire's territory. He is also ruthless in doing things, no matter if you have harassed it before, all the people who do not belong to my Great Qin Empire will be driven out without any reason.
Those who dare to resist in the slightest will be killed.
In the more than ten years since the unification of the six countries, the souls who died under the iron cavalry and sword of the Great Qin Empire did not know how many millions of them. The blood that flows can dye the vast plains.
Under the watchful eye of the iron cavalry of the Great Qin Empire, the barbarian tribes and nomadic minorities who had been dashing and relied on robbery could only obediently retreat automatically, migrating to a desolate place where King Qin and Yingzheng were satisfied, and lived a tragic life of not having enough to eat and not having the next meal every day.
A few days ago, they broke into the spies inside the Huangsha City and heard about the three important figures of the Great Qin Empire, Xiangguo - Li Si, Zhongche Fuling - Zhao Gao, and General - Meng Tian. It is about to come to Huangsha City for something that fell from the sky from beyond the nine heavens not long ago.
This news is a great opportunity for them!
Who are Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Meng Tian? That is the existence that supports half of the sky of the Great Qin Empire's thousand-mile territory, if they can capture it, and then negotiate terms with King Yingzheng of Qin, what they get is enough for them to enjoy for several lifetimes. Moreover, they can also claim fiefs and territories of their own because of the time, and no longer have to live a life of wandering around every day. If this is successful, it will also bless future generations, so why not?
However, this is a high-risk, high-reward action, and they must do it with the determination of "make it or not".
On this trip, in addition to Meng Tian, Zhao Gao, and Li Si, there were also 100,000 elite iron horsemen from the Great Qin Empire.
When they swept through the six countries, they followed Meng Tian from birth to death, fought bloody battles on the battlefield, galloped vertically and horizontally, and their combat effectiveness was definitely an explosive existence. Every soldier in the 100,000 Iron Cavalry is a strong existence that can fight five. Such a tiger and wolf army, no matter who hears it, will be terrified, let alone fight with it.
Therefore, in this operation, they gathered almost all the barbarian and nomadic minorities who could be gathered, and prepared to unite to launch a huge battle of unprecedented scale. As long as they can succeed, then the days of happiness are not far from them. But if it fails, what awaits them will be a brutal one-sided slaughter.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as purgatory on earth. (To be continued.) )
