Chapter 43: Yingji's Death (I)
Le Jian came to the corpse of his cousin Le Cheng and saw Le Cheng lying on the ground head-on, his body full of Yan Jun's arrows.
Kneeling on the ground, Rakuma's eyes wept: "Cousin, I'm sorry, Rakuma came to see you." ”
Stretching out his right hand, he slowly closed Le Cheng's angry eyes.
I couldn't help but think of the scene where the two were together since they were children, learning the art of war with their father Le Yi.
"Cousin, one day when you and I lead our troops to meet on the battlefield, I won't be polite."
"Cousin, I don't need you to be polite to me, and I won't be polite to you."
"Well, cousin, if there really comes a day, you and I won't regret life or death."
"Haha, okay, that's it."
After half a ring, Rakuma stood up and said to the guards behind him:
"Find a coffin and bury General Lecheng."
With that, he led the generals forward, never looking back.
In the third year of Yan Wangkang, the war of Yan against Zhao finally ended after entering November.
In February, the Yan navy successfully attacked Daijun, and then the Yan army immediately marched into Yanmen and Yunzhong counties.
After a series of operations, Li Mu, the general of the northern Xinjiang of the Zhao State, surrendered to the Yan State.
Immediately, after the end of the autumn harvest, the army of Yan moved south and occupied Jinyang, the former capital of Zhao.
Now, not to mention the courts of various countries, even the people of the world can see it. The situation in the world that has been chaotic for hundreds of years can no longer be sustained, and this world will eventually move towards a unified dynasty.
When Yan attacked Zhao, the kings of the Central Plains all hoped that Yan and Zhao would be able to confront each other for a long time, and it was best to drag it out for a few years or even more than ten years to give them time to breathe.
After the Yan State captured the four counties west of the Taihang of the Zhao State, the eyes of all countries in the world looked at Handan again.
Yan Wangkang's information and many stories have been collected and known by countless people.
This unknown young man of the Yan royal family, after being named the king of Liaocheng, completed the unification of the northeast of the Central Plains in ten years, laying a solid foundation for the rise of the Yan Kingdom.
Within three or four years of becoming the king of Yan, he led the Yan State to annex the Qi State, accepted the defense of the country, smashed the attempts of various countries to attack Yan, and occupied the four northern counties of Zhao State this year.
For Yan Wangkang, who is only 21 years old this year, it can be said that he is heroic and has a bright future.
Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan, after receiving the news of the loss of the old capital Jinyang, was discouraged.
When he came to the temple, he cried loudly in front of the spiritual position of the ancestors and ancestors.
When his father handed over the Zhao State to himself, he was still a very powerful country.
However, in the past ten years, the territory of Zhao has been shrinking, but now only a corner of Handan remains.
At the end of October, despite his physical illness and the dissuasion of the courtiers, he insisted on holding the last ceremony in Xianyang as the Son of Heaven.
After returning to the palace, Yingji lay on the sickbed and could no longer deal with the government.
According to the Qin system, the first day of October is the first day of the year, and this is the beginning of the new year.
In late November, Yingji learned the news that Yan State had conquered Jinyang.
After hearing this, King Yingji of Qin sighed and ordered the waiter on the sickbed:
"You go and call the crown prince An Guojun, the widow has something to say to him."
The crown prince An Guojun Yingzhu learned of his father's summons and hurriedly came to Yingji's bedroom.
Seeing the prince standing in front of his sickbed, Yingji couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Thinking about it carefully, over the years, I have indeed been a little too harsh on this son.
Yingji also knew the reason, when she ascended the throne, she was still young. In order to consolidate her rights, Empress Dowager Xuan gave canonization to several of her younger brothers at that time, and firmly grasped the government of Qin.
Qin Wang Yingji has always had great ambitions, and he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out about this. It's been a long time, and for Qin Wang Yingji, her personality is extremely depressed and depressed, and it's hard to trust her family anymore.
Thinking of this, Yingji looked at the prince Yingzhu and said, "Prince, you come to the widow and let the widow take a good look." ”
"Yes, Father." An Guojun won the pillar and cautiously came to Yingji's bed.
Yingji asked people to help herself up, leaned on the sickbed, and stretched out her hand to hold An Guojun's right hand.
"Prince, you are fifty years old this year." Qin Wang Yingji asked softly.
"Yes, Father." The crown prince replied respectfully.
"My son Yingzhu is about to become the king of Qin!" Yingji sighed.
These words frightened An Guojun.
If it weren't for his father Wang Yingji holding his hand, he would almost be so frightened that he knelt on the ground again.
Looking at An Guojun's frightened appearance, Yingji laughed.
"Prince, father, I used to be a little harsh on you, do you resent your father?"
"My son doesn't dare." An Guojun Yingzhu hurriedly said to Yingji.
Yingji closed her eyes, and it took a long time before she opened them.
Said to Yingzhu: "Prince, help the widow up, the widow will stay." ”
"No." Yingzhu stepped forward and together with a few attendants, he helped King Yingji of Qin to stay.
With the support of An Guojun Yingzhu and others, Yingji came to the map in front of the inner wall of the dormitory.
Looking at the map of the Central Plains hanging on the wall, Yingji raised her hand with difficulty.
Pointing to the map on the wall, he said to An Guojun: "Prince, do you know, what is this?" ”
The crown prince Yingzhu was stunned for a moment, and replied to Yingji: "Father, this is a map of the Central Plains. ”
Yingji shook her head lightly, and said to the prince Yingzhu: "Prince, this is the world!" ”
Speaking of this, Yingji paused for a moment and continued to say to An Guojun: "This is the world that my old Qin people have dreamed of for generations, and the world that my old Qin people have wanted to go east for hundreds of years. ”
Looking at the map, Yingji said to An Guojun in a slow voice: "Zhu'er, my father's body is not good. In the future, the burden of this Qin State will be handed over to you. The situation you will face in the future will be much more difficult than when you are outnumbered. ”
"When our Qin State was first established, no prince in the world could afford to look down on my Qin State. If my Qin State wants to go east, they will block it. At that time, the Jin Kingdom was very powerful! Block our Qin State in Guanzhong for hundreds of years, and we will not be allowed to go east. ”
"Later, the Zhao, Wei, and Han families were divided into Jin, and the Jin State did not exist, but the Wei State rose in the Central Plains and continued to block our Qin State. After your grandfather ascended the throne, he constantly sent troops to attack the Wei State, and he has always weakened the Wei State. ”
"When my father first ascended the throne, the Qi State became the main enemy of my Qin State. With the help of Su Qin's strategy, his father and the Central Plains countries defeated the Qi State, and the Qi State was now completely annexed by the Yan State. ”
"Unexpectedly, after the decline of the Qi State, the Zhao State and the Chu State became strong again. The father sent troops to attack them, and Wu Anjun attacked Chu three times, occupied the capital of Chu, and forced Chu to move its capital to Chen Ying, so that Chu was defeated. ”
"Zhao Guo! Since the Battle of Changping, the 450,000 army of Zhao State has been killed by our Qin State. Zhao Guo's vitality was greatly damaged, and he was no longer my Qin State's opponent. ”
When the crown prince Yingzhu heard this, his heart was full of blood, and he said to King Qin Yingji:
"My father's contribution to my Qin State is well known to the world. Sons, they will remember what their father taught today. My son dare not forget my ambition to dominate the world. ”
