Chapter 24: Ten Days to Destroy Korea
Why did Zhu Yeqing let Hei Yu give up Ji Wuye and leave.
The reason is simple.
Because their 'side quest' has been completed.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, because they had not been able to wait for the support of Ji Wuye, the commander, a group of 'stragglers' at the Xinzheng City Gate finally failed to resist Qiang Qin's iron cavalry.
This battle.
Wang Jian led the Qin army to attack from the west, north, and south of Xinzheng at the same time, but although troops were also sent to attack in the direction of the east gate, it left a small gap.
Siege the teacher must be que.
This is the essence of the art of war.
If Ji Wuye was in charge of the three armies, he would definitely be able to see Wang Qian's plan and send people to increase the defense of the east gate.
But unfortunately, in the absence of Ji Wuye, although more than half of the adjutant generals in the army at that time saw the trap laid by Wang Qian, other people did not think so.
What's more, without the commander-in-chief, neither side can convince anyone.
The end result is ······ Split.
Seventy percent of the soldiers were still resisting the blades of the Qin army in the west, north, and south directions, while the thirty percent of the soldiers who were split out were to protect King Han and plan to evacuate Xinzheng from the east gate first.
Naturally, the results need not be said.
As soon as the east gate was opened, the soldiers who were guarding King Han's evacuation from the east gate encountered an ambush by the Qin army, which not only led to the destruction of the east gate of Xinzheng in one fell swoop, but even the king of Han was directly captured by the Qin army.
After that, things were even simpler, the east gate of Xinzheng was broken, and the Qin army that rushed into the city joined forces with the Qin army outside the other three city gates, and the chain reaction soon led to the fall of the entire Xinzheng.
King Han was captured.
The capital fell.
All this is enough to declare the official demise of South Korea.
And from beginning to end, counting from the day when the Qin State besieged Xinzheng, it only lasted for ten days in total.
······
Zhang Liang, Honglian and the others only learned the news of the fall of Xinzheng two quarters of an hour after Hei Yu left.
The news was too sudden.
They already knew that the current Qin State was very strong, after all, with the assistance of that man, over the years, the national strength of the Qin State had almost climbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
So even if they obviously had a grudge against Ji Wuye just now, they still had to protect Ji Wuye.
Because in today's situation, South Korea really can't afford any turmoil.
But they never expected it.
Today's Qin State is actually so strong, although the Xinzheng garrison is now not under the command of a commander-in-chief, but it has not even been carried over for a night, which is a little too outrageous.
After hearing the news, everyone was silent for a moment.
Immediately, I saw Wei Zhuang slowly pull out his shark teeth and walk towards Ji Wuye.
"What do you want to do? Wait······"
"Poof~"
The shark tooth swung over, and with a single sword, it cut off Ji Wuye's neck.
Since Xinzheng has been captured by the Qin army, Ji Wuye naturally has no value in continuing to exist.
This time, Zhang Liang did not stop him, but watching the dignified Korean general die in front of him, Zhang Liang inevitably felt a little emotion in his heart.
After all, once upon a time, they also fought endlessly with Ji Wuye for the power struggle within South Korea.
But now in the face of Qiang Qin's iron cavalry, everything they had done in the past suddenly seemed so ridiculous.
The red lotus on the side looked blank.
The Red Lotus of the Ninth Princess, who had not yet become the 'Red Lian', was obviously a little unable to accept everything that had happened during this time.
Just a few days ago.
She was also the glorious Korean Nine Princesses, but with the fall of Nanyang, in the blink of an eye, she was treated as a 'commodity' by her father and traded to Ji Wuye.
Originally, on the night of the wedding, just as Han Fei expected, Honglian was even ready to die with Ji Wuye, but at this moment, she was saved by the person she had been thinking about for a long time.
But before she had time to rejoice, in less than an hour, the news of the fall of Xinzheng, the destruction of Korea, and even her own father was captured came from afar.
Such ups and downs, for a girl like her, the impact is obviously a bit too great.
"What are you going to do next?"
Compared with Honglian's dazedness, Wei Zhuang is much calmer, the destruction of Korea has become a fact, although this is not a good thing for him, after all, in a sense, the Korea he chose was destroyed by the Qin State chosen by Gai Nie, which also means that he lost to Gai Nie.
This is undoubtedly a big blow to Wei Zhuang, who has always been competitive.
But Wei Zhuang knows better that blindly depressed is just useless, and the most important thing to do at the moment is to admit his 'failure' and respond as soon as possible to reduce losses.
"First of all, we need to hide all the power of [Quicksand] and [Zilanxuan], if we can, it is best to change the base for the next period of time."
Hearing Wei Zhuang's words, Zhang Liang also began to think seriously, now that South Korea has been captured, it is inevitable that Xinzheng will fall into turmoil for a period of time in the future.
Therefore, in order to prevent the forces they have worked so hard to build up from encountering a greater crisis, the most important thing at the moment should be to let these forces lurk temporarily, and it is best to change places and establish a new stronghold.
For Zhang Liang, the only good news for them at the moment is probably that at least the people close to them now are safe and secure.
Sounds a little weird.
But this is really the case, before the fall of Korea, Han Fei and Zinu, who were deeply trapped in the Qin State, could be in danger of their lives at any time.
But when South Korea is destroyed, the situation of the two will be safer.
The same is true of the captured King Han.
Perhaps their freedom will be more restricted, but they will be safer, and even within the Qin state, they will be treated as honored guests.
This is also the greatest confidence that Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang can maintain their sanity at present.
"Maybe before we leave, we can get a start-up capital for a new base." Wei Zhuang said.
His meaning is obvious, chaos will bring more opportunities, and now that Korea has fallen, those nobles who used to be high above must carry a lot of assets in vain and try to secretly leave Korea.
And at this time, robbing the assets of those nobles is not the slightest burden for Wei Zhuang and others.
But hearing Wei Zhuang's words, Zhang Liang shook his head lightly and said, "I think we are probably a step too late, if Brother Wei Zhuang is interested, you can go to the wedding hall to take a look." ”
Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Wei Zhuang came to the wedding hall with doubts, only to see that the guests in the courtyard who had been invited by Ji Wuye to congratulate him had all fallen to the ground.
Zhang Liang continued: "They didn't die, they were just drunk. So drunk that he didn't even notice that his belongings were taken away. ”
