Chapter 427: The Volunteer Comes True

Li Feng, the commander of the Qin army, was a good hand in mountain warfare, and he was extremely familiar with the landform and climate of Sichuan. Gong Liang, a general stationed in Jiangyou, was defeated in the battle, refused to surrender and was killed, the defenders were scattered, and Jiangyou was lost. When the lord heard the alarm, he hurriedly ordered the general Li Shou to command 50,000 troops to block the enemy, but was broken by Li Feng several times, Li Shou was defeated, and the Qin army was greatly boosted and re-attacked Mianzhu. At the same time, Qinzhou Thorn Shi Yang was difficult to defeat the enemy, and the supply was endless; Deng Heng, the assassin of Rongzhou, sent 10,000 divisions to the south along the Minjiang River to Luowenshan County, echoing the main force from the flank. Although it is difficult to go to the blue sky on the Shu Road, the Qin army on the two roads of Zhengqi is like a bamboo, and it is a long drive all the way, and the soldiers are directed at Chengdu.

The Qin army unexpectedly attacked Shu on a large scale, and there was a great earthquake in Sichuan. And Qin Jingzhou Mu Xie Ai has also sent more than 10,000 strong troops to advance west from Fuling County, and the White Emperor City is in an emergency. Cheng Jun was afraid of Xie Ai's name, and when he heard that Jingzhou had finally sent troops, he was as frightened as Mount Tai was overpowering. In the areas of Ba County and Jiangyang County, a large number of troops began to surrender without a fight. In the city of Chengdu, most of the wealthy squires transferred their family wealth, and the people migrated with their families, and even many officials began to secretly look for a way out, or suddenly escaped, or secretly lost money with the Qin army, in order to protect themselves. Alarms from all over the country flew to Chengdu like snowflakes, and the lord Li Qi borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and whipped and killed indiscriminately day and night to vent his anger, and gave Li Shou poisonous wine on the charge of defeating and misleading the country, and let him commit suicide.

In the territory of the country, the grass and trees are all soldiers. Huge pressures accumulated layer by layer, and finally there was an explosion. Li Shou, the general of Chengguo, was unwilling to sit still, took the lead in attacking, and after killing the envoy who gave wine, he did not stop doing two things, and with the cooperation of the palace, he led his cronies to attack the palace in one fell swoop, abolished Li Qi, established himself as the emperor, and called on all forces in the country to resist the Qin army. However, this move is already too late, the building will fall, it is difficult to support alone, in the strong and rapid advance of the Qin army, the government and the opposition, many people have been confused, and they do not want to die in vain, and it will be difficult to condense in the end.

The Cheng army has been defeated many times, and the Qin army is about to approach. Frightened, the lord Li Shou was at a loss, and after listening to the persuasion of his cronies, he decided to move to Nanzhong, intending to take a break. In February of the following year, several Qin troops arrived at the city of Chengdu successively. Because Li Shou had fled, only the old and weak and a few Zhengchen who were determined to die were left in the city, and under the horror and despair, Chengdu finally opened its doors to welcome the surrender.

Li Feng coerced the power of destroying the country, rode a high-headed horse, and entered the city of Chengdu after a long absence. There are Cheng ministers who serve the imperial Shi Dong Gan, take advantage of the chaos to loot the treasures in the palace to play, and flatter Li Fengma in front of him, seeking his life and wealth in the future. Li Feng reprimanded angrily, saying that such treasures are already my Great Qin's things, so why use you to offer them? killed Dong Gan on the spot. Subsequently, there was even more reckless revenge, and many civil and military generals in the Cheng court who had repeatedly slandered and framed and disagreed with him in the past years were beheaded by their entire families, and the high-ranking officials in the former Chengguo court were all accused of being thieves who misled the country, or were killed or imprisoned. Although the Qin army was victorious, forbidden to invade and plunder, and posted a list to calm the people, Li Feng's actions caused panic, which led to frequent riots among the people, and the army surrendered and rebelled, and Sichuan was not at peace for a while.

In June, Luoyang Zhi arrived, severely reprimanded Li Feng, removed him from the post of commander, and arrested and sent him back to Beijing for interrogation. Before long, Qin Jingzhou Mu and Chu Guogong Xie Ai came to Chengdu to control the situation, and Shu was shocked, and the turmoil gradually subsided. Li Shou, the lord of the city, had already rushed to Zhuti County, intending to take advantage of the change in Chengdu and counterattack the whole army. Li Shou met the battle with luck, but was defeated by Doutou, and had no choice but to lead the remnants of the army to flee south again, intending to go to Yongchang, if Yongchang could not be defended, and then escape to the Burma area. On the way, Li Shou was killed by his frightened subordinates, and surrendered to the Qin army with his head, so that the country perished, and the land of Sichuan and Shu returned to Qinjiang.

With the old Cheng and the soothing of the people, Sima Cheng took office as the assassin of Yizhou; After the general Peng Jun was transferred to the capital of Yizhou, in August, Xie Ai was promoted to the rank of hussar general, promoted to the rank of deputy privy envoy, added the rank of deputy prime minister, and was ordered to report on his work in Beijing. After arriving in Luoyang, Gao Yue reunited with him after a long absence, and was very happy, and the monarchs and ministers got together very happily, and even talked with candles and nights for several days. And because Xie Ai insisted on righteousness, Gao Yue pardoned Li Fenggong, but ordered him to exchange with Deng Heng and transfer to Rongzhou.

It has been two years since the army was sent to attack Shu. In the golden autumn of October, when the fragrance of cinnamon branches was not dispersed, Handan, an important town in Hebei, was captured by the Qin army. At the beginning, Emperor Shi Hu personally led 60,000 horses to the south, frantically attacking Yecheng, hoping to recover this important place. Wu Xia, the defender of Yecheng, withstood the huge pressure, and in the wave of decisive attacks of the Zhao army, he turned the danger into a disaster several times, and made solid arrangements with extraordinary means to ensure that the city was not lost, and the town was firmly defended for three years. In September, the emperor was determined to launch a blow with all his might, so in addition to Yang Tao's 30,000 troops, Shengzhou Pei Xu's 20,000 people, all of them continued to defend against the Yan army and Shi Min's Zhao soldiers in Bingzhou, and in southern Hebei, the Qin army began to assemble on a large scale, this time almost all prefectures and counties were ordered to dispatch troops, and Liangzhou sent 30,000 soldiers to the front. And Han Yong was once again ordered to serve as the supreme commander of the former enemy, and the Guandong Province was on the stage.

After the 300,000 troops were stationed in Cixian County, more than 200 miles south of Handan, the Qin army was divided into two parts, north and south, and launched a fierce attack on Handan City and Shihu's Zhao army base camp at the same time. After more than 20,000 casualties, Handan City was forcibly captured, and Zhang Yun, a close confidant of Shi Hu and general of the Zhao army, who had time to escape, was captured alive, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the Zhao army. In Yecheng, after receiving the bad news of the fall of Handan, Shi Hu could no longer resist the siege of Han Yong, Hu Song, and Shi Sheng's three Qin armies in the shape of a pin, and led more than 30,000 remnants of the army to rush north to Xiangguo.

The loss of Handan meant that the city of Xiangguo, the capital of Zhao, had become a lonely city without a screen, and it was completely exposed to the sharp Qin saber. The monarch was defeated and lost, the land was lost one after another, and the court of Zhao State had a feeling of wind and rain and twilight, and the people were panicked. When Shi Hu had time to take a breath, the Qin army was already large, and Xiangguo ushered in a battle of life and death.

In the twenty-first year of Qin Tiansheng, the outer city of Xiangwai was broken by the Qin army. Emperor Shihu of Zhao was unwilling to be restrained, and set himself on fire in the palace behind closed doors, when the black smoke rushed into the sky, the Qin army poured in like a tide, and the city was in chaos, countless people died in vain, and the country of Xiang completely fell.

Prince Shi Di and Liang Wang Shi Ting fled and ran north to the river. Halfway through, Shi Ting killed Shi Di and established himself as emperor. Hearing this, Shi Min in Changshan Zhending City rejected Shi Ting's edict and even brazenly proclaimed himself emperor. When the enemy pressed the border, Changshan and Hejian still attacked each other, and they both denounced each other as rebels, and they were orthodox for the Zhao family.

By the end of the year, the Qin army had become a sweeping trend and was unstoppable. The river went down overnight, Shi Ting went north to Fanyang County, Youzhou, Han Yong made Yang Jiantou and Shi Sheng's two generals attack, broke it, Shi Ting was injured and captured, and was beheaded after being escorted to Luoyang. Shi Min felt that it was difficult to support, and also took the initiative to give up Changshan, and escaped to Shanggu County in the north, Yang Tao chased after the tail, and there was a great success, but Shi Min went back and forth to engage the battle to nine times, brave and difficult to defeat, and the arrow in the rear mount was exhausted and stumbled, Shi Min was slashed by Lei Qizhi, and he killed himself after falling off the horse, and Zhao Guo died.

Murong Hao, the king of Yan, did not expect the situation in the world to change suddenly, and he regretted and hated it, so he tied up Fu Hong, sent him to Luoyang, and humbly pleaded guilty to the emperor in the song, saying that all the disrespect and offense in the past were caused by Fu Hong's repeated demagoguery and provocation. Now that he has known that he has committed a great sin, he is now willing to remove the king's name, avoid Xuansu, and only ask the emperor for forgiveness this time. Gao Yue replied and asked Murong Hao to come to Luoyang in person to ask for his guilt, so he would definitely be pardoned, but Murong Hao did not answer, so the Qin army marched into Liaoxi and Liaodong.

The Yan army of 50,000 faced the battle, and the Liaodong iron cavalry was fierce and good at fighting. At the moment of stalemate, the emperor ordered the general Yang Jiantou to command the army to the death to ramp the enemy, invincible, Yang Jian's head was bleeding and his body was still arrogant and shouting for a hearty battle, sacrificing his life to break forward, and he was decisive. The Yan army was unfavorable in several battles, the general Murong Biao was killed in battle, and Murong Hao, the king of Yan, saw that he could not do anything and decided to move east. However, at this time, the former Jin Pingzhou assassin Shi Cui Yu, who was driven away by Murong Xianbei and exiled to Goguryeo in his early years, took the opportunity to persuade the king of Goguryeo to send 30,000 troops, blocked the retreat of the Murong family on the bank of Liaoshui, and took the initiative to attack the Yan people when the Qin army was approaching. The Yan army lost its fighting spirit in the desperate situation of blocking and then chasing soldiers, fell apart, fled, fell into the water and was killed in the battle seven or eight out of ten, Murong Hao was hit by three arrows in his body, the horse was captured, and he was escorted to Luoyang and was given death, Yan Tu was flattened, and Goguryeo asked Nagong to be a minister, and was allowed.

Tao Kan, the king of Lingnan, relied on the land of projectiles to fight against the conquest of the Wu State, and was able to survive in dangerous situations many times, all because of the secret help of the Qin army. On the eve of the Qin army's invasion of Yan, Tao Kan fell ill and died, and on his deathbed instructed his son Tao Xia to attach the land of the two counties to the Central Plains, and return to his fate sincerely, so as to be able to bless his descendants. Tao Xia obeyed his father's orders and went to Jiangling to meet Xie Ai in person, and Lingnan won without a fight.

Looking at the world, all places are flat. Emperor Wu Su Jun hurriedly sent a letter to Luoyang, expressing his respect and admiration for Emperor Qin, and was willing to serve him as a brother. But at this time, Qin Mingyiyu's pace had already started to stop at a rapid pace. Not long after, the Qin court gathered 100,000 troops to conquer the south, worshiped Xie Ai as the Jiangnan Province Daxingtai, and then the city of Jiangling began to be busy.

Within more than ten years, the Qin army settled Huaiyang in the south and took Jiaozhi into treatment; Xiping Bashu, calming Bianqiang; The desert in the north, struck the side of the Hu; To the east, the remnants of the Yan Kingdom were completely exterminated, and Lifan was subdued, and finally achieved the grand situation of clearing the world and unifying all nations, so as to be considered a prosperous dynasty. From then on, the prestige of Great Qin shocked the distance.
