Chapter 63 Desire and Hundred Leaps
As soon as he entered Yingdu, Wei Yi was greatly surprised, only to see the huge Yingdu, but there were few pedestrians, and it was deserted.
Ying, as the capital of the Chu State, is very prosperous, its prosperity is famous all over the world, it is very praised, and it is really unthinkable to be so deserted in front of you.
Since the assassination, rumors have spread in Yingdu, and it has become a common practice for Chinese people to flee the country, and those who can escape have fled, or they will not be able to do so.
"I've seen the lieutenant." A team of people came quickly, and the leader was none other than Dun Liang and Yao Jia.
"Haha!" As soon as he saw the two of them coming, Wei Yifei stepped down and walked up quickly, his thumbs up high, and he was full of praise: "The two of you are good, you are good!" ”
The two shook out Chun Shenjun's usurpation and assassination, and it was carried out very beautifully. It was precisely because of the good work that this caused chaos in the Chu State, which made the Chu army unstable and demoralized, and the Qin army took advantage of the situation to attack and annihilated the Chu army.
It can be said that without the efforts of the two of them, the battle of exterminating Chu would not have gone so smoothly.
"The national lieutenant has won the award." Dun Liang and Yao Jia were humble in unison.
"Two, what's the situation in Yingdu?" Wei Yu asked.
"Captain Yuguo, Yingdu is now sparsely populated, like a living coffin. Even the palace of the king of Chu is also in chaos, if it weren't for the fact that there were many loyal guards, we would all want to occupy the palace. He smiled weakly.
Although the current palace of the king of Chu is chaotic, after all, the state of Chu is a big country, and there are many loyal guards guarding it, and the strength in their hands cannot conquer the palace of the king of Chu with the strength in their hands.
There are many assassins in the hands of Dun Weak and Yao Jia, which are used for assassination, not for siege. If they were going to attack the palace. There must have been heavy casualties. Precisely because of this. Second, there was no attack on the palace.
"Let's go! Let's go and occupy the palace. Wei Yi waved his hand. Order the Qin army to rush towards the palace of the king of Chu.
Dun Liang and Yao Jia rode side by side with Wei Yi, and the three of them soon came to the palace of the king of Chu.
As the two said, the entire palace was deserted, and there was not a single minister in sight, but there were many guards.
After the assassination, many ministers of Chu broke into the palace to ask King Chu Kaolie. Although it later became clear that this was not done by King Chukaolie. But it was chilling, and many ministers left. Some people even understand that this is the Qin State that is going to destroy the Chu State, and the Chu State will not exist for a long time, and many ministers have fled.
At this time, in the royal palace, the number of ministers can be counted on the fingers.
"Attack!" As soon as Wei Yu gave the order, the Qin army roared angrily and launched an attack on the palace.
The palace guards were busy fighting. The guards who did not flee were not a problem with their loyalty, but they were too few in number and did not have a strong command. Each fights for itself, which is the opponent of the Qin army. They were soon killed and dispersed by the Qin army.
As soon as the guards were killed, the Qin army poured into the palace like a tide.
Wei Yu entered the palace of the King of Chu, and when he looked at it, he almost didn't fall off the horse, because what caught his eyes was golden and splendid, and there were valuable treasures everywhere, which made Wei Yu dazzled.
"This is the royal palace of the State of Chu? I thought I had entered the treasure house of some Chu country. Wei Yi's mouth opened wide, and he looked surprised.
"Captain, you're right. The royal palace of the state of Chu is a treasure house, and the treasures of the state of Chu are collected in the palace nine times out of ten. Yao Jia explained for Wei Yu and said, "Compared with the palace of Great Qin, it is so shabby that it can't be more shabby. ”
"Those who are good treasures are all playthings, and all of them are losing their minds. This is the reason why Great Qin can take the world, and the Chu State, which sits on half of the world, can only perish. Wei Yi sighed with emotion.
Eight out of ten people who have been to the Qin King's Palace will say that the Qin King's Palace is too shabby, and there is not even a bit of luxurious decoration. However, I have to admire the thrift of the Qin State.
While the three of them were talking, they heard a burst of cheers, and a team of Qin army soldiers escorted a bad old man with snow-white hair out. This old man is lying on his back, weak, walking staggeringly, and will fall down at any time, who else can he be if it is not King Chukaoli?
"This ......" The mouths of Wei Yi, Dun Liang and Yao Jia were wide open, and they could stuff an ostrich egg.
King Chu Kaolie is not very old, but people in their fifties are older than old men in their seventies and eighties, not to mention, and they are weak, which is too shocking, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it to be true.
"King Chu, why did you become like this?" Wei Yi touched his forehead, very curious.
"Oligo...... I...... After such a drastic change and a great drain on mental strength, it became like this. King Chu Kaoli was stunned and stammered. These words were weak, as if they would be dying at any moment.
Since getting the news of Chunshenjun's usurpation, King Chu Kaolie has suffered a series of blows, first of all, the burden that he spoiled was not his flesh and blood, it was Chunshenjun's species, which was too big a blow for King Chu Kaolie, who was in great need of heirs to inherit the country of Chu, and it could be said that it had reached the point of cruelty.
Then there was the assassination of the minister of Chu, and the chaos of Chu. At the time when the army of Qin was pressing, and the life and death of Chu were at stake, Chu suddenly had such a mess, and it was only a matter of time before Chu was destroyed.
Later, I figured out that all of this was led by the Qin State, and the King of Chu Kaolie was a pig and could understand that the Qin State had made a move in the land of Huaishui, and as long as these Chu troops were annihilated, the Chu State would be finished. As for whether the Chu army would be annihilated by the Qin State, King Chu Kaolie never doubted it, because the Chu State was in turmoil, the army was unstable, the morale was low, and then the family was hindered by it, Xiang Yan was unable to return to the sky, and the defeat was its inevitable outcome.
In this way, King Chukaoli lived in torment and torment all the time, and he wanted to kill himself, but he did not have the courage. In this way, his mental strength was greatly consumed, and he became like this.
"Hold on." Wei Yi originally wanted to say a few words of emotion, but he couldn't say it. At the moment, King Chu Kaoli only has one breath left, and he will burp at any time, if he says a few more words, he will not be scared, and he may not be able to come up in one breath.
It didn't matter whether King Chukaoli lived or died, however, there was some use for him alive.

Qin Yiren led a Qin army, starting from the land of Huaishui and heading straight for Changsha.
along the way. The march went exceptionally well. There was no decent resistance at all. Even if there was resistance, it would be sporadic and would not be able to inflict enough impact on the Qin army.
Along the way, Chu Di is looking down from the wind. When the slave people of Chu heard that the Qin army was coming, they were all overjoyed and greeted each other.
For these ordinary people living at the bottom of the slave country, the Qin country is the paradise of their dreams, and the Qin army has arrived. Can they not rejoice?
Qin Yiren's orders were extremely strict, and the Qin army did not commit any crimes, which made them even more happy, and they finally looked forward to the arrival of the Qin army, and they had a good life.
Of course, Qin Yiren did not let go of this good opportunity to publicize, so that the Qin army made a lot of publicity and won the hearts of the Chu people.
Soon, the Qin army rushed to Changsha.
Changsha is a historical city, and it was an extremely important border city during the Warring States Period. It is the hub of the Central Plains and the land of Baiyue.
Changsha is close to Wuling, and south of Wuling is Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, a vast land in South China. In the Warring States period. The land of South China is entrenched by Baiyue. Baiyue nominally belonged to the Chu State, but in fact, the Chu State could not effectively control the land of Lingnan.
Changsha is the hub connecting Baiyue and the Central Plains, and many Yue people come to Changsha every day to sell Baiyue's specialties to the Central Plains merchants, and then exchange silk, porcelain and other daily necessities from the Central Plains merchants.
Although Wuling stretches for thousands of miles, however, the main thing that can really connect Lingnan is Changsha, which shows the importance of Changsha.
In Chinese history, Changsha has always been the choke point between the Central Plains and South China. It is precisely because of this that during the Anti-Japanese War, the devils attacked Changsha many times, and the famous "Battle of Changsha" broke out.
Qin Shi Huang's 500,000 Qin troops to pacify Baiyue were assembled in Changsha and set out from Changsha. In order to solve the problem of the baggage of the southern expeditionary army, Qin Shi Huang once came to Changsha twice.
It can be seen from this that the importance of Changsha in the Warring States Period.
Changsha in the Warring States Period was also a strong city, covering an area of dozens of miles, Qin Yiren saw Changsha City from afar, and secretly praised a good city.
At this time, Changsha had no guarding force, and the Qin army directly entered the city, and in this way, the Qin army occupied Changsha City, cutting off the retreat of the remnants of the Chu State into Baiyue.
Qin Yiren entered Changsha City, only to see that the city was lively and prosperous. From time to time, you will see Yue people bargaining with Central Plains merchants, fighting for a red face and thick neck.
When they saw Qin Jun, they were not surprised at all, as if this was a matter of course. Moreover, they were even less afraid, and they also showed a friendly smile at Qin Jun.
Everyone knows that on the battlefield, the Qin army is a tiger and a wolf, killing people without blinking. However, the Qin army's orders were extremely strict, and there were few things that disturbed the people, so it can be said that Qiu did not commit any crimes.
Moreover, during the extermination of Chu, the Qin army made a big publicity, and these people knew that the Qin army would not kill people indiscriminately, so they were very relieved.
The Qin army did not disappoint them either, they did not commit any offense against them, and they did whatever they had to do.
Qin Yiren issued an order to issue a notice of peace and security, which made the people in Changsha more at ease.
At the same time, Qin Yiren sent the Qin army to patrol and maintain order. As soon as he saw the Qin army appear on the street, it attracted bursts of applause, because the Qin army was strong, no one dared to provoke it, and the Qin army's patrol meant that it was very safe and could be assured.
After Qin Yiren settled down, he summoned Meng Zhao and said, "Immediately send an edict to Li Mu and ask him to send troops to destroy Yan." ”
"Kill Yan?" Meng Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and cheered: "Great! As long as the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, Great Qin will dominate the world. ”
At present, the state of Chu has been destroyed, and there is only one country left in the six kingdoms of Shandong. It's too easy to destroy a weak swallow, and it won't take more than a few days for the Qin State to dominate the world, who can not be happy?
"If you want Li Mu to remember, you must first cut off the retreat route of Yan Guo to Liaodong, and you must not let go of a person or a horse." Qin Yiren's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice.
"Rest assured, with the talent of General Li Mu, there will be no mistakes." Meng Zhao was extremely appreciative of Li Mu's talent.
"Also, send a decree to the little princes, that they should give up their land. If they donate land, Daqin will give them a fortune; If you dare to say nothing, you will directly send troops to exterminate it. Qin Yiren said again.
During the Warring States Period, in addition to the Seven Great Wars, there were dozens of small princes. These petty princes were no match for the Qin State at all, and it was too easy for the Qin State to destroy them. In the past, the time was not ripe, but now that the world is about to be unified, it is time to solve them.
"Then send a message to Zheng Guo and ask him to bring a group of water workers to Changsha." Qin Yiren finally said.
"Your Majesty, what do you want Zheng Guo to do as a plumber?" Meng Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked puzzled.
"Because if the widow wants to pacify Baiyue, he must have a plumber." Qin Yiren didn't hide it. (To be continued......)
