A group of people are patting horses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wenchen Zhongchang Pingjun looked at Ning Que with a solemn mood, and thought in his heart: "What if this person is the enemy of my Chu State!" ”
Changping Jun is in Qin Ying, and his heart is in Chu.
The temple is silent!
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers of civil and military affairs, praised Ning Que, and then went straight to the point, saying: "General Wang Qian, if you are allowed to lead the army to attack Chu, how many men and horses do you need?" ”
Wang Jian said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at least 600,000 troops are needed to attack Chu!" ”
"Six hundred thousand?" When Ying Zheng heard this, he frowned. The entire Qin State now has less than a million available soldiers and horses.
Meng Tian led more than 200,000 people to fight against the Xiongnu in the northwest.
If you want 600,000, there are only 200,000 troops left in the Qin State! And there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, who knows if Wang Jian will fail to defeat Chu?
"Then how many troops does General Ning Que need to be able to defeat the Chu State?" Ying Zheng asked.
Ning Que didn't dare to say big things, although he remembered a lot of military techniques and thirty-six strategies, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the famous generals of Chu State, Xiang Yan, Xiang Liang and others were not dry. Xiang Yan is well versed in the four-character art of war, "It is as fast as the wind, its Xu is like a forest, aggression is like fire, and it is as immobile as a mountain!" "So it's very difficult to gnaw the Chu State from him!
didn't dare to hold it up, Ning Que said: "Your Majesty, the ministers also want 600,000!" ”
Changping Jun on the side laughed and walked out, "General Ning Que is still young!" And General Wang Jian is indeed old! Your Majesty, the minister only needs 200,000 horses to destroy the Chu State! ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, his brows furrowed, and he immediately agreed.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Changping Jun took Li Xin and 200,000 troops to the state of Chu!
Ning Que sneered, he naturally knew that Changping Jun wanted to take the 200,000 troops of the Qin State to the Chu State to die, but he couldn't say this, although Changping Jun was a native of the Chu State, he could win the trust of Ying Zheng, even if he said it, Ying Zheng would not believe it.
In 225 B.C., in the twenty-second year of Yingzheng, when the Chu State moved its capital continuously, the army was unstable and the people's morale was sluggish, Changping Jun and Li Xin took advantage of the internal strife in Chu to attack the Chu State with the 20 Qin army, the soldiers were divided into two roads, the city of Chu did not even resist, and surrendered directly, and the army drove straight into the hinterland of Chu State.
Ning Que was a guest in Wang Qian's mansion at this time.
Wang Jian took a sip of tea, and the black soldiers in his hands attacked Ning Que's white son in two ways, and Ning Que was about to be killed and abandoned his armor. Suddenly, the white son on the left surrounded him and annihilated Wang Jian in one fell swoop, and the black son that entered the white son made him retreat one after another.
"You said that Changping Jun and Li Xin would be destroyed by the Chu State?" After a game of chess, Wang Jian asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty has given Changpingjun and Li Xin important tasks, but he doesn't know who Changpingjun is?" Ning Que said.
Wang Jian asked, "What do you mean?" Will Changping Jun betray the Qin State? ”
"I have a special intelligence network, Changping Jun had frequent contact with the farmers in the hundreds of princes some time ago, the Mo family, the farmer Kuitian is his subordinates, and he has to wear the same pants with him, and the farmers are friendly with the Mo family, and the top and bottom of the Mo family are basically from the Yan State, I estimate that he wants to weaken the strength of the Qin State, so he wants to drag 200,000 Qin troops into the water." Ning Que sneered.
When Wang Jian heard this, his face changed greatly, and he stood up: "No, I want to report to Your Majesty and go to support General Li Xin!" ”
"It's too late, General Li Xin has already returned defeated." Ning Que said.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the news of Changpingjun's betrayal of Qin to come, and the 200,000 army was chased and killed by Xiang Yan of Chu for three days and three nights, all of which were broken, and seven of the generals at the rank of Du Wei were killed, with heavy casualties, and Li Xin fled back to Qin with the remnants of the defeated army.
It's another day of early court, Ying Zheng's face above is as black as the bottom of a pot, and the ministers of civil and military affairs below don't squint, looking at their noses and noses, their noses and hearts, it's already winter, and Ying Zheng's changing face has made the temperature drop by several degrees.
Li Si and Meng Tian, who had just returned from the northwest, and other old ministers knew that Yingzheng was angry, so they didn't say a word.
"Who can lead troops to destroy the state of Chu?" Ying Zheng said indifferently, the defeat of the Qin army not only did not dampen his spirit, but also strengthened his determination to destroy Chu.
No one answered, the scene was silent, and the pin drop could be heard!
"General Ning Que, General Wang Qian, are you willing to lead troops to pacify the Chu State?"
It's all said and done, if you refuse, won't it embarrass Yingzheng?
Wang Jian said directly: "Your Majesty, it is necessary to destroy Chu with 600,000 horses!" ”
"That's right, General Wang Jian and General Ning Que, bring the talisman to destroy the Chu State! Retreat. Ying Zheng made a big wave of his hand and decided, and turned around and left with Gai Nie Zhao Gao!
In the winter of 225 BC, in the twenty-fourth year of Yingzheng, Ning Que and Wang Jian replaced Li Xin as the commander of the Qin army, commanding more than 600,000 troops. Ying Zheng personally sent people to the shore of Bashui and made all kinds of promises.
The people of Chu are proud of being from Chu and have a strong sense of nationality, so this kind of person's will to fight is very tenacious and indestructible, coupled with the recent defeat of 200,000 Qin troops, it is the moment of high morale.
After Ning Que and Wang Jian talked about the benefits and disadvantages, they directly began to set up camp at the junction of the two armies, ready to standby.
Due to the elimination of the threat from the north, there were no worries, the grain and grass were really sufficient, Ning Que did not send people to fight, and began to train soldiers, and this training was half a year!
On the other hand, on Xiang Yan's side, the King of Chu has been urging Xiang Yan to quickly raise troops to attack the Qin army, scolding him for being cowardly, making him one head and two big.
The Chu army began to attack, the Qin army only defended but did not attack, because the disparity between the two sides was too great to attack for a long time, even if the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, Ning Que still didn't see it, or did not send troops, only sent some squads to harass, not to let the Chu army rest, the enemy was tired and disturbed!
Xiang Yan had nowhere to go, so he angrily scolded Ning Que for shrinking his head in front of the two armies, and at this time, the urging of the king of Chu came again, and he really had no choice but to turn the army to the east to go to the place where Wang Jian was stationed.
As soon as Xiang Yan retreated, Ning Que immediately dispatched a large army to begin to pursue the Chu army, the enemy retreated and I advanced, and after encountering the Chu army that had just begun to cross the river, the whole army launched an attack!
Xiang Yan led a group of tired troops at the moment, and those who were killed by Ning Que began to jump into the river and flee, and a day later, the head of the general Xiang Yan was cut off by Ning Que himself. And the Chu army's Ji Bu, Yingbu and other fierce generals led the remnants of the army to flee.
Ning Que rode a horse and looked at the other side of the battlefield, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng protected Xiang Shaoyu and began to break through, a strong wind blew in the sky, and a bird fell from the sky, taking away a few people, Xiang Liang and a few people were on the back of the bird, and shouted unwillingly: "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!! ”
Glancing at the Mo family giant on the trap bird, Ning Que did not step forward to chase after him, there was no need for that.
After destroying Xiang Yan and joining Wang Qian, Ning Que led his troops to attack Chudi. More than half a year later, the Qin army broke through Shouchun and captured Xiong Cheng, the king of Chu.
In 223 BC, in the twenty-fifth year of the reign of King Qin, under the iron hooves led by Ning Que and Wang Qian, the state of Chu was destroyed!
