Qin Wangdang and Gan Mao swore an oath in Xiyang, not to break Yiyang, not to pass through the Zhou room, not to win the Central Plains, and not to withdraw from the army. The alliance of the earth is an oath between the king and the minister. Jun wants to show his ambition to annex the world, and the minister wants to help Jun and establish immortal feats. Agreements are reached between kings and ministers for a common purpose. After the alliance, Gan Mao reorganized his army and attacked Korea. This battle is the first battle in which Gan Mao became the prime minister and general of Zuo, and he only needs to succeed, not lose. Gan Mao invaded the Korean border with the power of destroying the withering and decaying, and in less than five days, he broke through Linyang, the gateway to the west of Yiyang, and Qin Jianbing Peak pointed directly at Yiyang.

Han Wangcang was in Xinzheng, and suddenly heard that the Qin army had broken through Linyang and pointed at Yiyang. Above the main hall, he walked back and forth with a restless expression. He originally thought that it would take at least half a month for Qin Guobing Peak to reach Yiyang. Unexpectedly, it took less than five days for the Qin people. Han Wangcang had to face the facts in front of him and sighed: "Qin Jian is really sharp. ”

One person said: "Your Majesty, the Qin State has been in Yiyang for less than five days, which is enough to prove that the Qin people are powerful." We can't compete with that. ”

Han Wangcang asked with a calm face, "What do you think?" ”

The man said, "We are not the opponent of the Qin State. We might as well sue for peace with the Qin State, open Yiyang, and borrow the Qin army. The king of Qin wanted to drive through the Zhou room to view the land of Gong and Luo. We will fulfill the King of Qin. ”

"The state of Qin threatened to destroy Korea in three months. He looked down on the Qin State so much and despised the widows. How can a widow endure this evil spirit. Han Wangcang said coldly: "The contest between the widow and the Qin State has just begun. The widow will not be defeated in a battle, but will be frightened into the hearts and galls of the man. How can a husband stand in the world, how can he be arrogant. Qin Guo has been bullying me for a long time, and Qin Wangdang is also arrogant and rude, and there is no one in his eyes. Although Korea is weak, it will not be afraid of the Qin people. Today, if the widow chooses to endure, he asks for peace with the Qin State. Tomorrow, the Qin State will despise South Korea even more. ”

"Your Majesty..."

Han Wangcang shouted angrily: "We have already started a war with the Qin State. Whoever dares to make peace will disrupt the morale of the three armies, and there will be no mercy for killing. ”

Han Wangcang used his courage and courage to intimidate the ministers who spoke peacefully. This battle was not only a dispute between Qin and Korea. It was also the first military confrontation between him and Qin Wangdang. On that day, he left Qin and returned to Han, and what Qin Wang Dang said to him was lingering, how could he forget it. In the past few years, Han Wangcang has repaired national politics and restarted Shen Bu Harm's law; Diplomacy is good for the princes, just for this day. He had also been waiting for this day for four years. Moreover, Han Wangcang's heart was like a mirror, and Qin Guobing Feng pointed directly at Yiyang, but in fact, it was to spy on the Zhou room in order to win Jiuding. King Qin's attack on Yiyang, Dingsanchuan, and Chetong Zhou was also to show the princes of the world their own ambition to get involved in the Central Plains and become the princes' elders. Han Wangcang was determined to resist to the death, and he not only showed Qin that he could not be bullied. At the same time, it also showed the princes of the Central Plains that Korea's territory was less than 10,000 miles, but it was by no means a country that others could bully at will.

When the Republic of Korea was founded, the capital was Pyongyang. In order to expand the territory to the east, he attacked Zheng Guo and moved the capital to Yiyang. Yiyang Hancheng was also the capital of Korea. During the reign of Han Jinghou, in order to compete with Chu for the land of Yingru, he annexed Zheng and moved the capital to Yangzhai. Taking advantage of Zheng's internal turmoil, Han Aihou conquered Zheng's Yangcheng, and then eliminated Zheng, which had a long history, through many attacks, and his national strength rose rapidly, establishing the status of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. South Korea destroyed Zheng Guo, known as the little overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, and moved the capital to Zheng.

Yiyang is called a county, but it is actually a county, accumulating the wealth of Shangdang and Nanyang counties, and it is also an important military town in South Korea. In particular, there is a good bow and a strong crossbow here, and the iron ore that is out of Korea. Yiyang is also the western barrier of South Korea. The territory of South Korea is composed of three parts, namely Shangdang, Namyang, and Sinzheng, and Yiyang is the hub connecting the three places. Qin takes Yiyang, South Korea is cut off, and it is broken into three, and the national strength will decline greatly.

Qin has Yiyang, and he can attack Yan Zhao in the north in the second week, Wei Qi in the east, and Wanchu in the south. Qin Wangdang took Gan Mao as his general, raised troops on an expedition, and touched the Central Plains. The land of Yiyang is of great significance to South Korea's military and strategic and geographical location, and Han Wangcang is bound to defend it. Between Qin Wangdang and Han Wangcang, they do not give in to each other, and they are bound to separate each other. In the battle of Yiyang, after the blood flowed, the bones piled up.

General Han Shuying and Han Peng stood on the city tower, looking down at the dense Qin army soldiers outside the city. Uncle Gong pointed to the magnificent Qin people and asked, "Da Sima, the Qin people are coming west, and their morale is strong, how should we fight." ”

Han Peng said with a cold look: "Stick to it." ”

Uncle Gong asked, "What if the Qin people provoke us and others?" ”

Han Peng replied firmly: "Ignore it." ”

Uncle Gong thought for a moment and asked, "If the Qin people provoke us and ignore it, will we fall into the spirit of a man?" The Qin people came to the west, and their foothold was not stable, so if we sent troops to attack him, we could expel the Qin people out of the country and recover the mountains and rivers occupied by the Qin people. ”

Han Peng shook his head and said, "The general doesn't know anything. The Qin people are invincible and have no lies. I have fought with the Qin people many times, so I naturally know the combat effectiveness of the Qin people. In the first battle of Hanguguan and the first battle of Xiuyu, our country united with Wei and Zhao, and was also defeated by Qin. Today, the southern part of the Qin State is Tuobashu; Danyang broke Chu and took its Hanzhong; On the edge of Pushui, defeat the Qi State. The combat effectiveness of the Qin State should not be underestimated. If we want to defeat the Qin army, we can only rely on the high pond of Yiyang City. Moreover, Yiyang has sufficient grain and grass, and the garrison is perfect. With Yiyang's offensive, it is absolutely no problem for us to defend for half a year. ”

"It's naturally good to hold on, but you can't repel the Qin army."

"The Qin people threatened to destroy Korea in three months. If we can resist the Qin army in Yiyang City for three months, we will be able to break the lies of the Qin army. dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Qin army. Han Peng said again: "Gan Mao raised troops for an expedition, and there were many Qin ministers in the country who were hindered. When the minister of Qin saw that he had been attacking Korea for a long time, he would be suspicious and ask Gan Mao to withdraw his troops. Gan Mao's withdrawal of troops will inevitably suffer a demoralization setback. We attack on all fronts, why worry about not breaking the Qin army, why worry about not being able to recover the territory. ”

"Okay." Uncle Gong arched his hand and said, "Everything is subject to Da Sima's orders." ”

Han Peng looked at the Qin army outside the city, his face was full of worry, "Uncle General, bringing back the Qin army is bound to attack the city fiercely." The first battle is very important, we can only win, we can't lose. ”

Gongsun Ying said with a very relaxed expression: "Da Sima, it's not that I underestimate Qin Jun. The Qin army wants to attack hard and take Yiyang City with this little force, which is simply a fool's dream. We also just let the Qin people see the power of Korea's bow and crossbow. ”

Han Peng exhaled a breath of cold air and admonished, "Uncle General, don't be careless. Our opponent is Kammao. ”

Uncle Gong asked, "Who is Gan Mao?" ”

"Uncle General doesn't know." Han Peng looked nervous and said: "Qin Wangdang succeeded to the throne, and Chen Zhuang rebelled in Shuzhong. The king of Qin exerted all his efforts to disagree with the public, and did not use Sima Cuo and others to enter Shu to quell the rebellion, but instead appointed Gan Mao, who had not yet made military achievements. Gan Mao entered Shu to quell the rebellion, and used his wits and courage to kill the rebels. There was no turmoil in Shu either. Qin Wangdang took him as the left prime minister and concurrently served as a general, responsible for foreign attacks. This time, the king of Qin ordered him to attack our country, not the battle-hardened Qin general. It is enough to see that the military ability of Gan Mao's strategy is not weak, and Qin will win. We need to be careful! ”

Uncle Gong nodded and said, "In this way, the battle of Yiyang is bound to be quite tragic!" ”

Han Peng regained his spirits and was high-spirited, "Even if our opponent is Gan Mao, we can't fall into the blood of the Han man." Uncle General, let's let go of our hands and feet to fight with the Qin army! ”

Uncle Ying said loudly: "Okay." The city is in the people, and the city is destroyed and the people are dead. ”

Gan Mao's soldiers came to the city of Yiyang, and facing this tall city, it really gave him a headache. It is said that there are Gongluo and Chenggao in the east of Han, and Yiyang and Changhan in the west. And so it was. How to break through this impregnable city became the first difficulty faced by Gan Mao. Gan Mao also knew that Qin Chu knew that if he didn't break Yiyang, he would not be able to meet King Qin's car through Sanchuan and win the Central Plains. If this is the case, Qin Chen will also attack him. It is difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court of the Qin State.

At the moment, I don't know how many eyes are staring at him. I don't know how many people are waiting to see him laugh. If he wins this battle, he will make immortal achievements again, not only in the Qin State No one can shake his position. He can also make a name for himself with the princes of the world. If defeated. I have no talent, and I can only watch others rise to the top, and it will be difficult for me to get ahead. Gan Mao let out a cold breath, he couldn't imagine what a miserable ending it would be.

Born in troubled times, how can a good man not establish a reputation and be willing to live a mediocre life. For the sake of today, he can only win, not lose. He didn't believe that others could build a reputation for eternity, but he would be born at the wrong time and mediocre. Be sure to break through Yiyang before the winter solstice. Otherwise, the war dragged on, and the war situation was not favorable to the Qin State. For today's plan, the only way is to fight quickly and defeat the defenders in front of him with the prestige of the tiger wolf of the Qin State.

Gan Mao did not hesitate and decisively launched an attack on Yiyang.

Seeing that the Qin people were attacking, Gong Shuying and Han Peng gave full play to their geographical advantages and the advantages of bows and crossbows to resist the strong attack of the Qin army. The Qin army fell in one wave, and the latter wave still went forward and followed. The first battle, as night approached, finally came to an end. In this battle, the Qin army lost 2,000 soldiers, while the Korean lost less than 500.

For a month in a row, Gan Mao launched several attacks, all of which were repulsed by the South Korean army. Gan Mao's worst fear, the most feared thing still came. He never thought that the South Korean army would have such combat effectiveness. He also expected that he would not be able to capture Yiyang before the winter solstice. Now that winter has arrived, Yiyang is towering and immovable, but the Qin army has lost tens of thousands. In the face of such a result, Gan Mao's confidence was greatly frustrated.

After another three months of siege, the Qin army cut off the waterways in the city, attacked the city with chariots, attacked the city gates with fire, and dug tunnels under the city walls. However, the Han army used giant trees as a fence and bows and crossbows as a supplement to kill the Qin army at the city jump. The tunnel killed countless Qin troops with fire and crossbows, repelled the fierce attack of the Qin army, and held the isolated city of Yiyang.

The battle of Yiyang was fought from the end of autumn to the end of winter, and the two sides of Qin and Han still did not distinguish the winner and loser, and the battle was fierce. The Qin and Han sides suffered heavy casualties, the corpses were piled up, and the smell of corpses was everywhere. If it weren't for the cold weather on the winter solstice, the plague would be caused in the army. I don't know how much the death of Qin and Han will increase.

Seeing that Gan Mao could not capture Korea for a long time, the domestic ministers of Qin all said: "Qin Shi is tired, if he does not withdraw, I am afraid that something will change." ”

Qin Wangdang believed that Gan Mao would not disappoint him, and ignored the minister's words. Soon the second bad news spread to Xianyang. The king of Chu, with Jing Cui as his general, led his troops to help Han, forming a strong military pressure on the Qin state. Qin Wang Dang was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What should we do if Chu Guo helps Han attack me." ”

"So far, we have to withdraw the expeditionary army. Otherwise, the state of Chu intervened, and the expeditionary army was in danger. ”

King Qin asked unwillingly, "Is there any other way?" ”

"We attacked Korea from autumn to winter, and now spring is coming. The labor division is on an expedition, the Qin division is tired, we can't capture Korea, and if we don't withdraw the expeditionary army, I'm afraid there will be changes. ”

Qin Wangdang asked, "Is there a way to separate the Han Chu Alliance." ”

"Danyang and Lantian defeated the Chu State and occupied the middle place of the Chu State. The state of Chu is worried that there is no chance to fight us and regain the lost territory. It is really difficult for us to drive a wedge between Chu and South Korea. ”

Under pressure from his ministers, Qin Wangdang had no choice but to order Gan Mao to move back to China. It has been four months since Gan Mao attacked Yiyang, and now Yiyang is standing, while the Qin army has lost more than half. When he received the edict of Qin Wangdang's withdrawal of troops, his confidence in attacking Han and Yiyang was shaken, and he also wanted to give up halfway. Gan Mao summoned his generals and showed the order of the King of Qin to withdraw his troops, and said helplessly: "Everyone, it is not good to attack Han, it is my sin. The king ordered us to wait for the withdrawal of our troops, so let's withdraw our troops! ”

Xiang Shou shouted: "Prime Minister Zuo can't." ”

Gan Mao looked at him and asked, "Our army has lost more than half." Now that the state of Chu is also helping Han to attack us, we are not withdrawing our troops, and there is a danger that the whole army will be destroyed. ”

"Although the state of Chu used Jingcui to help Han, both Chu and Han were suspicious and watched each other. We only need to send an envoy to the state of Chu and give it the land of Hanzhong. The alliance between Chu and South Korea is bound to collapse. Xiang Shou also knew that Gan Mao had withdrawn his army, and he was unwilling, and said: "You live in Qin as a prime minister, and you lead the troops to the battle, but there is no result." Those who oppose you in the country will unite against you. If these people say that you can't attack South Korea because you have good relations with South Korea. If these people accuse you of collaborating with the enemy and treason, not only will your life be difficult to survive, but your family will also be implicated. ”

Gan Mao was shocked and asked, "Yiyang can't attack it for a long time, so what can I do." ”

"It took three years for Leyang to attack Zhongshan, proving that he was loyal and patriotic." Xiang Shou said: "For today's plan, you can only fight against the water, break through South Korea, and help Wang Shang realize the great cause of passing through Sanchuan and winning the Central Plains." ”

Gan Mao weighed the pros and cons and swept away the decadence in his heart, "For today's plan, this is the only way." ”
