Two weeks of perdition

At the same time, King Wei Anli also promised to cede the land of Yuanyong in Korea to himself before the Battle of Changping, but now he has rebelled.

Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info very angry!

So he ordered Jin to lead 100,000 Wei troops to rescue Zhao.

But though the anger is high, the courage is not enough.

On the one hand, King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent Zhang Tang to lead his troops to attack the Wei State, and on the other hand, he sent people to threaten, "Whoever dares to save Zhao is against my Qin State!" After I kill Zhao, I will go and destroy him immediately."

King An Li was scared on the spot, and shouted to stop in Ye County, which is more than 30 kilometers south of Handan and at the junction of Zhao and Wei!

Then he sent a general named Aragaki Yan to Handan to meet Pingyuan Jun, saying, "Back then, King Qin Zhaoxiang and King Qi made an appointment to call the West and East Emperors, but they were forced to cancel it in less than two months. He was haunted by this. It's better to take the lead of you Zhao Guo this time, and we will respect that old man as the emperor. Then when he is pleased, he will not come to beat you again."

Hirahara-kun hesitated.

Can a title avoid a catastrophe?

Seems like a good deal?

But at this time, there was a Qi citizen named Lu Zhonglian in Handan City.

He went directly to the door to ask to see Hirahara-kun and asked to debate with Aragaki Yan face to face!

A righteous and awe-inspiring words made Aragaki Yan ashamed, and he never dared to mention "Emperor Qin" again

Words.

But now Chun Shenjun's Chu State rescuers have not arrived because of the long road, and the Wei State rescuers of Jin and Jin do not dare to move.

However, the Qin army of Wang Yi and Zheng Anping besieged Handan City to the death.

What should I do?

A man named Li Tan came to see Pingyuan Jun, "The people of Handan have changed their children and eaten, but the harem of the prince is still extravagant." Isn't that dangerous? Please scatter your wealth and recruit warriors."

Pingyuan Jun immediately obeyed and recruited 3,000 people who dared to die.

Led by Li Tan, he went out of the city to fight a bloody battle with the Qin army.

Although Li Tan was killed in battle, the Qin army was also driven back 30 miles.

Finally won a lot of time for Zhao Guo... At this time, Wei Guoxin Lingjun was constantly persuading his half-brother King An Li to ignore Qin's threats and let Jin continue to go north to save Zhao.

But King An Li didn't listen, forcing Xinling Jun to be unable to do so, so he decided to take only more than 100 of his guests and go to Handan City to live and die with his sister and brother-in-law!

When he left the Yimen of Daliang City, Xinlingjun specially went to visit Hou Huan, an old hermit who he had always respected and was 70 years old, and told him that he would go to Handan.

Hou Huan was very calm, "The son is going well, but it's a pity that the old minister can't follow"

After walking for several miles, the more Xinling Jun thought about it, the more wrong it became: Is this Hou Huan watching me go to death?

I've always respected him so much!

Xin Lingjun made a wise choice: go back to Hou Huan and ask for clarification!

Hou Huan is waiting for Xinlingjun to come back to him!

He immediately gave a way to 'steal the talisman to save Zhao': use one of King Anli's favorite Ruji, to steal the talisman from the king's bedroom.

He also introduced a butcher named Zhu Hai to Xinlingjun and asked him to go to the Jin army together.

Sure enough, although Jin Contempt saw the military talisman, he refused to hand over the military power.

Zhu Hai didn't say a word, and killed Jin Contempt on the spot with 40 catties of big iron vertebrae in his sleeve, helping Xin Lingjun to win the military power.

After that, Xin Lingjun selected 80,000 troops and went north to rescue Zhao.

And Hou Huan fulfilled his promise to break up with Xinlingjun at that time, and went north to kill himself... Wang Yi and Zheng Anping led the Qin army to besiege Handan for a long time, and the rescue troops of Chu and Wei have also arrived.

When the news came back to the Qin State, Bai Qi sighed, "King Qin didn't listen to me, and now he regrets it."

I don't know if King Qin Zhaoxiang regrets it, but he is shocked and angry!

Forced to die in vain, you must go to the front line!

Bai Qi still refused to say that he was sick.

King Zhaoxiang was finally furious at this first general in the history of Chinese warfare who had made countless military exploits for the Qin State and annihilated the six countries with a total of one million troops in his lifetime!

In October, Bai Qi was demoted to a soldier and sent to Yinmi, west of the Qin State.

In October, Zhang Tang captured Ye County.

In December, King Zhaoxiang of Qin continued to send troops to Fencheng on the west bank of Fenshui to support Wang Di.

On the one hand, Bai Qi, who had been in Xianyang City for 2 months on the grounds of illness, was strictly ordered to get out of the shadows immediately!

Bai Qi reluctantly hit the road.

I walked ten miles west to Du Post.

The messengers behind have caught up!

What he brought was the sword of the King of Qin and the king's order to be judged by himself!

Looking up to the sky and sighing, Bai Qi, the first general in Chinese war history, committed suicide... In this year, King Yan Wucheng died and was succeeded by his son King Yan Xiao.

In 257 BC, seeing that King Zhaoxiang of Qin still refused to withdraw his troops, Zhao decided to kill the hostages to win the aliens, in order to show his determination to resist Qin to the end!

Seeing that the future Qin Shi Huang's family was about to suffer a catastrophe, fortunately, this news was learned by Lu Buwei in advance!

So Ying Yiren and Lü Buwei were able to escape in time.

used 600 gold to buy off Zhao Bing, who was guarding the city gate, and fled all the way back to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

Ying Yiren put on the clothes of Chu and saw Mrs. Huayang, who was born in Chu, Mrs. Huayang was very happy and changed her name to Yingzi Chu for her adopted son.

At this time, Xiao Yingzheng, who was only more than two years old, stayed in Handan with his mother.

King Zhao Xiaocheng sent people to search for them, but fortunately Zhao Ji's mother's family hid and survived ("Historical Records of Lü Buwei's Biography" has a contradiction here, saying that Qin Shihuang's mother was the daughter of Zhao Hao's family, not the Handan singer found by Lü Buwei) The allied forces of Chu, Zhao, and Wei broke the Qin army under the command of Xinlingjun.

Wang Yi fled westward, and Zheng Anping led 20,000 Qin troops to surrender to Zhao and was named Wuyangjun.

This made Ying Hou very embarrassed!

According to the laws of the Qin State, the wrong person is recommended.

The referrer and the referee share the guilt!

At this time, King Qin Zhaoxiang was the heart of An Fan Sui, and ordered the country "Whoever dares to talk about Zheng Anping's affairs will be guilty of his crimes"

In this way, the promise was temporarily saved.

Next, it depends on another person recommended by Fan Sui: can Hedong County Shouwang Ji save some face for him, or completely knock him into a catastrophe... Wang's army retreated to Fencheng to join Wang Ji, and after repairing for more than two months, he organized a counteroffensive.

Beheaded 6,000 Zhao, Han, Wei, and Jin allied forces by the Fen River, and the allied forces drowned another 20,000 people in the Fen River.

After that, the Qin army marched east again, joined up with Zhang Tang, who captured Ye County, captured Ning Xinzhong of Zhao State, and renamed this place Anyang... The strong counterattack of the Qin army forced Chu, Wei, and Han to carry out a second rescue operation.

At this time, Chun Shenjun had returned to China, and King Chu Kaoli sent the famous general Jingyang.

In 256 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin sent another general to attack Korea, defeated the city of Negative Mill and Yangcheng, and beheaded 40,000 people.

He went north to capture more than 20 counties of Zhao and beheaded 90,000... This time, even the 'co-owner of the world' Zhou Tianzi couldn't sit still.

Western Zhou Jun (the fifth ancestor of King Zhou Xun of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, once sealed his younger brother Huan Gong in Henan.

Duke Huan's grandson, Huigong, divided his territory into two: Henan was given to his eldest son, Duke Wu, known as Jun of the Western Zhou; Gong Feng gave the young son Huigong and was called the Eastern Zhou Jun.

In this way, the Zhou royal family had three masters: the king of the Eastern Zhou, the king of the Western Zhou, and the king of the Eastern Zhou) secretly contacted the princes to ambush heavy troops in Yique, less than 60 kilometers west of Yangcheng, to cut off the return route of the Qin army... This caused King Qin Zhaoxiang to be furious, and immediately ordered: Don't fight anywhere!

Arrest the unfamiliar Western Zhou Jun for the lonely king!

The Western Zhou Jun was helpless, and he entered the Qin State alone and suffered the first crime, and dedicated 36 cities and 30,000 mouths under his name.

This year, the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty died, and the remaining people of the Zhou Kingdom fled to the territory of the Eastern Zhou monarch, and Jiuding, which symbolized the authority of the Son of Heaven, finally fell into the hands of King Qin Zhaoxiang the following year!

At this time, although the Eastern Zhou Dynasty still existed, later historians still unanimously identified this year as the year of the fall of the Zhou Dynasty!

From 1046 BC when King Wu of Zhou conquered the Zhou Dynasty, to this time in 256 BC, a full 790 years, the longest-lived dynasty in Chinese history - the end of the Zhou Dynasty!

This year, Wang Di was besieged by the vassal states and had to withdraw his troops from Anyang to return to China.

From 262 BC, when Bai Qi attacked the Yewang of Korea and Feng Ting, the commander of Shangdang County of Korea, dedicated his land to Zhao, this six-year war finally came to an end.

Although the Qin army achieved a great victory in Changping, it was still frustrated by the city of Handan; Although Wang Ji later organized a counteroffensive, he ultimately gained nothing.

Perhaps there are only two things that King Qin Zhaoxiang can be proud of: one is that he finally destroyed the Zhou Dynasty; The second is that his great-grandson, Qin Shi Huang, who will rule the world in the future, was finally born... But there was another thing that he never expected: in the year of the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, three years after the birth of Qin Shi Huang, in a place called Pei County in the Chu State, a man named Liu Bang was also born (although Wang Mingsheng argued in the "Seventeen Historical Discussions" that Liu Bang should have been born in BC247 instead of BC256, but the evidence is still insufficient) The battle was won, but Xin Lingjun did not dare to return to China and began to stay in the Zhao State.

King Zhao Xiaocheng and Pingyuan Jun planned to use five cities to reward their sons.

Shinling-kun accepted the advice of his diners and politely declined.

Only received the seal of one place.

Later, in the courtesy to the two hermits of Zhao State, Mao Gong and Xue Gong, the two famous sons of the Warring States period were once again revealed.

even reached the situation of 'under the gate of the king of the plains, half of the king of the faith'.

Pingyuan Jun planned to reward Lu Zhonglian again, but after being refused, he proposed a daughter for longevity.

But Lu Zhonglian didn't take a point after all, and he never saw each other again with Pingyuanjun for the rest of his life... In 255 BC, King Yan Xiao died and was succeeded by his son Yan Wang Xi.

In the same year, Lu Qinggong was moved by King Chu Kaolie to Ju, 170 kilometers east of Qufu, the capital of Lu, and all the land of Lu was occupied by Chu.

The last Confucian master of the Warring States period and the two outstanding talents of the future Legalist: Li Si and Han Fei's master Xunzi came to the Chu State because he couldn't stay in the Jixia School Palace of the Qi State, and was appointed by Chun Shenjun as the commander of Lanling County.

This year, Xunzi also had a war with the Chu general Jingyang who came to rescue Zhao in front of King Zhao Xiaocheng.

This year, the king of Hedong County of Qin State secretly communicated with the princes and was abandoned to the city.

Two years ago, Zheng Anping surrendered to Zhao (who happened to also die in Zhao this year), and now Wang Ji has abandoned the city, both of whom are Ying Hou Fan Sui's close friends.

Once, King Qin Zhaoxiang, who was in his 60s, sighed when he was about to die, and Fan Sui asked why.

King Zhaoxiang said, "Bai Qi died, Zheng Anping, Wang Ji rebelled, and now there are no unscrupulous generals in Qin and many enemy countries outside, I am worried"

How would Fan Sui feel when he heard this?

Just when he was panicking, Fan Sui heard another, even worse news: there was a Yan Guo man named Cai Ze who was now loudly announcing in Xianyang City: he would replace Fan Sui as the prime minister of Qin!

Fan Sui sent someone to summon Cai Ze to see him, and Cai Ze talked endlessly, saying that Fan Sui threw himself to the ground.

Ying Hou personally recommended Cai Ze to King Qin Zhaoxiang as the prime minister, and he resigned because of illness.

However, Cai Ze only served as the prime minister of Qin for a few months, and he also resigned due to illness.

In 253 BC, King Chu Kaoli moved the capital from Yingchen to Juyang.

In 252 BC, Wei Huaijun entered the Liang Dynasty to meet King Wei Anli, and was imprisoned and killed by King Anli.

set up his son-in-law, Wei Huaijun's brother Wei Yuanjun.

In 251 BC, King Yan sent Prime Minister Zhao to envoy to Zhao State.

After returning to China, he reported that "Zhao Guo suffered a great loss in strength after the Battle of Changping, and it can be cut down"

King Yan summoned Lejian, the son of Le Yi, a famous general of Yan State, to ask him, and Lejian thought it was impossible.

But King Yan didn't listen.

2,000 troop vehicles were dispatched, and the troops were divided into two routes: Li led 400,000 troops to attack Shan, and Qing Qin led 200,000 troops to attack the dynasty westward.

Jiang Qu wept and admonished: "Originally, he sent an envoy to make peace with the other party, and sent five hundred gold to the other party to toast, but now because this messenger came back and said something, he gave up peace and went to attack the other people." No, you can't."

But Yan Wangxi still didn't listen.

As a result, the Yan army had just reached Songzi, which was more than 30 kilometers northeast of Shan, and was counterattacked by the Zhao army led by Lian Po and Le Cheng, and Lian Po's 80,000 troops were killed in Shan, and Le Cheng's 50,000 troops broke through Qin and Le Jian in the Dynasty.

Lejian defected to Zhao Guo.

Lian Po chased more than 500 miles all the way north and surrounded Yandu Jicheng.

King Yan likes to make peace.

Zhao Guo put forward the condition that "the canal must be ordered to be the phase"

So Xi appointed Jiangqu as the prime minister of Yan State, Zhao Guo looked at Jiangqu's face, and Yan State ceded five cities, so he broke the siege and returned to China.

In September, King Zhaoxiang of Qin died.

King Han Huanhui personally came to Xianyang to pay tribute.

The vassal states also sent their own domestic leaders, such as Chu Guochun Shenjun and others to Xianyang to pay tribute.

In October, An Guojun removed his mourning clothes and officially succeeded to the throne as King Qin Xiaowen.

Set up Yingzi Chu as the crown prince.

Zhao Guo also immediately sent Yingzheng's mother and son, who were more than 8 years old at this time, back to China in order to improve relations with Qin.

Unexpectedly, on the third day, King Qin Xiaowen died.

His reign lasted only a little more than 2 days, making him the shortest reigning king in the history of Qin.

In stark contrast to his father, King Qin Zhaoxiang, who reigned for the longest time and lasted for 56 years... In 250 BC, Yingzi Chu succeeded to the throne as King Xiang of Qinzhuang.

His mother-in-law, Mrs. Huayang, is the Empress Dowager of Huayang, and her biological mother Xia Ji is the Empress Dowager Xia.

This year, the general of Yan who captured Liaocheng of Qi State did not dare to return to Yan because the Liaocheng people made a small report in front of Yan Wangxi.

And Tian Dan, a famous general of Qi State, began to attack Liaocheng at this time.

Although the general of Yan Guo has not left his name in the history books, he should also be a famous general.

Tiandan couldn't attack it for a long time, but the people of Liaocheng couldn't hold it anymore at this time.

At this time, Lu Zhonglian persuaded him to surrender in a letter, "General, please plan for the lives of a city, either return to Yan or surrender to Qi." Please don't resist any more."

When the generals of Yan saw Lu Zhonglian's letter of persuasion, they cried for three days, hesitating and unable to make up their minds: if they want to return to Yan, there is a gap.

If you want to surrender, you are afraid of humiliation.

In the end, he sighed and chose to commit suicide.

Liaocheng was recovered by Tiandan.

Lu Zhonglian was not rewarded by the king of Qi and fled to the sea without returning... This year, South Korean Prime Minister Jang Ping died.

His son is the future, known as "seeking sainthood"

Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

In 249 BC, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang named Lü Buwei as prime minister.

In this year, the Eastern Zhou monarch conspired with the princes to Qin, and King Zhuang Xiang used this as a reason to order Lü Buwei to lead his troops to destroy the Eastern Zhou monarch and clear the last branch of the Zhou royal family.

Annexed his seven fiefdoms: Henan, Luoyang, Gucheng, Pingyin, Yanshi, Gong, and Wushi into the Qin state.

Of course, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang did not kill the Eastern Zhou monarch, but moved him to the Yang people and sacrificed him.

After that, King Zhuang Xiang made 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan Province, the prime minister Lü Buwei the Marquis of Wenxin.

In the same year, King Chu Kaolie moved Lu Qinggong westward again from Ju six years earlier to Bian, this time depriving Lu Qinggong of his royal title and demoting him to a family member.

The state of Lu officially died.

Starting from the Duke of Zhou, there have been 34 monarchs, and the number of years is as long as the Zhou Dynasty...
