Chapter 760 The next year, he marched south to Xiabashu

Although the Spring Festival was approaching, Zhao Guo's machine still started quickly according to Zhao Kuo's will.

Sun Gu slowly returned to the territory of Zhao with more than half of the troops on the Hangu front, and Lejian also stopped the armed threat to Qi according to Zhao Kuo's order.

Lü Buwei, who was still in Daliang City, Wei County, became the busiest person.

The captives of Qi and Chu have not yet been rehearsed, and tens of thousands of Qin prisoners over there have been sent over.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo's order was also delivered in time, but there was no need to reorganize into soldiers and pull them to the battlefield.

Turning into a Tuntian soldier, although it is a few short words, for Lü Buwei, it is like being amnesty.

How so? In these years, those who can be soldiers must have a much higher physical fitness than ordinary people, and such people will soon become an expert in farming, even if their skills are average.

What's more, you don't need too much screening work, as long as you are not a die-hard, as long as you are willing to farm, just throw it over.

What was originally a rather strenuous task suddenly became easier.

In less than half a month, Lü Buwei had already completed the compilation and training work that should have taken several months to complete.

More than 200,000 Tuntian soldiers also began to rush to the land that had just been taken by the Zhao army in the last time before the Spring Festival.

Even, Lü Buwei trained a full 20,000 soldiers for Li Mu, and also went to the land of Yanying, ready to cooperate with Li Mu to launch an attack on Shuzhong at any time.

As for the Qi State and the Chu State, under the deterrence of the Zhao State's combat power, they are now as quiet as a hairy cat. Even in order to ease relations with Zhao, the two countries sent a lot of delicacies and grains to Zhao.

It made Zhao Guo more confident, and it also confirmed the sentence in the Six Kingdoms Theory, "The descendants do not pity it, and give it to others, like abandoning grass mustard." Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then sleep peacefully. Looking at the four realms, and the Qin soldiers are at the top. However, the land of the princes is limited, and the tyrannical Qin's desires are insatiable, and the enshrinement is multiplied, and the invasion becomes more and more urgent."

It's just that the Qin State here has been replaced by the Zhao State, and the city has also been changed for grain.

Of course, during this period of time, Qin Guo's actions were also frequent.

Seeing that the pressure on Hangu Pass had decreased, the King of Qin also transferred part of the military strength of Hangu Pass after consulting Wang Yi's intentions and continued to storm Dasan Pass.

It is said that it is a consultation, but in fact it is just an information.

What else can Wang Di say?

Could it be that forget it, don't disperse the pass, and wait for Zhao Jun to come to Guanzhong, right?

In fact, by this time in the war, Wang Ji had completely lost confidence. In other words, everyone understands that the Qin State has no chance.

The only suspense is just the question of how long Qin can hold out under the upcoming offensive of Zhao.

How long can it last?

Wang Di didn't know either.

If Dasanguan is still there, Guanzhong and Shuzhong can still get together, maybe Wang Yi can still rely on the natural risks of Shuzhong and Hangu Pass to persist for ten years and eight years.

But now there is a high probability that Shuzhong has been lost, and the original Guanzhong hometown, which was originally impregnable, has also broken the defense with the loss of the Great Dispersion Pass.

Fighting the Zhao army on flat ground has already proved in several battles that the Qin army will not be an opponent of its cavalry at all, especially if the opponent also has heavy cavalry.

It can be said that from any point of view, the Qin State has completely lost the opportunity to resist.

As long as Zhao wants to, he can eat the last living force of Qin at any time, and the only thing Qin can do is to replenish his troops with reckless force, and then wait for the arrival of Zhao Jun to make a final fight to the death.

However, Li Mu and Zhao Wei, who were still stationed in Hanzhong, were obviously not in a hurry to attack Qin itself. On the contrary, as Zhao Kuo set the requirements, Li Mu also focused his main energy on Shuzhong in the south.

A southbound army of nearly 200,000 people has been quietly formed under the command of Li Mu.

As for Dasanguan, with Zhao Wei with 100,000 troops, he was not afraid of the Qin army's counterattack at all.

It is also in this series of actions that the Spring Festival has been

Quietly coming.

This is destined to be a busy Spring Festival, and it is also destined to be a Spring Festival that cannot be reunited.

Not only could the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin army not be able to go home, but the hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops could not return home to reunite, but there was silence and silence in the Qin army's barracks, and the hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers were so obligated to do so.

It's not just because Zhao Kuo personally ordered to bring them dumplings from his hometown;

It's not just because Zhao Kuo took Lü Buwei to inspect the various battlefields in person;

It's that everybody knows what their battle means, and they're writing this history, a whole new one.

Raising the wine lord in his hand, Zhao Kuo loudly announced to the southbound army: "One year to destroy Shu, three years to unify."

In just eight words, it instantly pushed *** to a climax.

Everyone seems to have seen what it will look like to dominate the world in the coming year.

Of course, Zhao Kuo is not drunk nonsense, and he is not arrogant. In fact, this point in time was a plan he made after consulting with the cabinet, and even in the eyes of Li Mu and other generals, this plan was still too conservative.

Whether it is Shuzhong or the world, as long as Zhao Kuo is willing, it won't take that long at all.

However, the reason why such a goal is put forward is more important is to let all soldiers have a clear goal, and only after having a goal can the subjective initiative of all soldiers be stimulated.

Therefore, whether it is one year or three years, or five years, it does not matter to Zhao Kuo and Zhao Guo.

In anticipation, the Spring Festival of 253 BC finally passed.

The spring of 252 BC also arrived in the ardent anticipation of hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops.

Just out of the first month, the southbound army, which had already hoarded enough grain and grass, couldn't wait to pounce on Shuzhong under the command of Li Mu.

Out of Yangping Pass, along the road walked by the old Qin people, towards the Shuzhong Plain.

At the same time, the Zhao army in the land of Yanying also gathered more than 60,000 people, divided into water and land routes, and advanced towards Chengdu in Shuzhong.

There is not the slightest suspense, the Qin army in Shu has already been emptied, and the people in Shu, who have been sacrificed too many times by the Qin State, do not have any good feelings towards the Qin State at all.

There are even many places where the people of Shuzhong took the initiative to lead the way for Zhao Jun.

Although the Qin army took advantage of its geographical advantages to block the Zhao army layer by layer, it was limited by the shortage of troops, coupled with the rebellion of the local people, these seemingly dangerous passes could not stop the footsteps of the Zhao army at all.

Badong, Brazil, Fuling and other counties fell one after another, and while Zhao Jun did not commit any crimes in the autumn wherever he went, he even used military rations to help the local people, which won the favor of the people in Shuzhong even more.

Qin's century-long operation in Shuzhong collapsed in more than ten days after the arrival of the Zhao army.

There is no way, the Qin State is the most oppressive, and the people in Shu are the most oppressive.

Indeed, under the control of the Qin State, several channels were built in the land of Bashu, making the original barren land a country of abundance.

It's just that this abundant grain did not make the people of Bashu rich.

On the contrary, after the arrival of the Qin people, the people of Ba and Shu had to take on more farming tasks, but their lives were worse than before.

It is almost a common thing to run out of food in the year.

Coupled with the repeated defeats of the Qin State in foreign wars in recent years, even Guanzhong has already experienced a food shortage, let alone the land of Bashu.

After all, this land of Bashu is not the foundation of the old Qin people.

In this battle of Yingchuan, most of the grain and conscription came from Shuzhong, which further increased the burden on the people of Shuzhong.

Over the years, the life of the Shu people can only be described as dire and miserable.

And all this, with the arrival of Zhao Jun, has changed dramatically.

There is no endless forced labor, no forced levy of food and wages, and even opening warehouses to release grain.

Whoever is replaced, he will immediately defect!

Immediately, with Badong and Fuling County as the center, Zhao Jun's good deeds quickly expanded towards the land of Bashu.

Needless to ask, Yu Linwei is also indispensable here.

But it is undeniable that the effect of such propaganda is almost immediate. Several cities surrendered without a fight within a few days of the news.

However, in more than a month, only the last fortress of Bajun was left in the land of Bashu by the Qin State.

Immediately, the southbound army also successfully joined forces in Mianzhu, and then the 250,000 army under the unified command of Li Mu marched south to Chengdu.

In the city of Chengdu, there are more than 30,000 Qin troops.

Obviously, the Qin army has shrunk all the nearby forces into Chengdu City, in a vain attempt to make a last ditch and keep the last fortress of Bashu, even if it can't be kept, it would be good to delay for another month.

It's a pity that Zhao Jun also expected this.

Long before the southbound legion's action, Yu Linwei had already infiltrated the city of Chengdu.

Although the strength of Yu Linwei alone was not enough to pry the city gate, rumors and rumors were enough to force the Qin army to death.

You must know that of the more than 30,000 Qin troops in Chengdu, there are less than 2,000 real old Qin people, and the vast majority of Qin troops are real Ba and Shu people.

Guess how these Ba people and Shu people will feel after hearing what the Zhao people are doing in Shu?

What if you add your family to blowing the wind in your ears?

Thinking about the hometown under the rule of the Qin people, as well as the Qin State that has been stormy and the Zhao State on the Chao Dynasty.

How to choose, it seems that it is not a question at all.

Unconsciously, this seemingly resolute Qin army team has quietly "deteriorated".

However, the generals of the Qin army, who are the "masters of the people", still do not know the slightest restraint, do not know the importance of tenderness, and still implement stubborn military orders with strict military laws.

Finally, the tried and tested harsh military law also lost its effect in this desperate situation.

Then the sound of "squeak" sounded, the Qin army at the east gate of Chengdu defected, and the Zhao army took the important town of Chengdu without blood after besieging Chengdu for less than a month.

At this point, the southern expedition that lasted for more than two months came to an end.

The land of Bashu, the country of abundance, was completely incorporated into the territory of Zhao.

For two months, even spring plowing was not delayed.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo also issued an order to the king, leaving 100,000 troops to garrison Bashu and assist the people of Bashu to complete spring ploughing, and the rest of the army immediately turned around to prepare for spring ploughing.

Obviously, although the battle of Bashu has stopped, Zhao Kuo is already planning for the next big battle.

At this time, the King of Qin, who was far away in Xianyang, had just learned the news, and he didn't even have time to react, and the battle to the south was over.

The speed of its action and the abundance of results made all countries tremble.

You know, that's the land of Bashu with rugged mountain roads, and it's Bashu with thousands of miles of fertile soil.

Even the land of Bashu is a few points higher than the current Qi State, and the territory of Chu State is not much larger than that of Bashu.

It doesn't take three months for Zhao Jun to take Bashu, so how much time will it take to take Qi, Chu or even Qin?

Nobody knows.

It's just that the fear of Zhao Ruhu has completely spread in various countries......
