The Lanchi Palace is very quiet, and the small bronze incense burner from Linzi of Qi State rises with a trace of sandalwood.
The beauty stood in her clothes, and the rain line outside the window was like silver.
Zheng Li's gaze kept to the distance, and the raindrops bloomed on the gray empty steps.
Listening to the sound of the rain, her mind was empty.
Zheng Li watched Hehua's actions outside the palace, including her ordering someone to send Wang Juan's retainers away and throw away his umbrella.
Why did she deliberately take Wang Juan into the carriage?
Zheng Li didn't want to believe what Zhao Jia said, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't help frowning.
Is her youngest daughter, Hehua, an eight-year-old child, really involved in political strife?
Is Zhao Jiayan chiseled and precocious?
Zheng Li sneered, why shouldn't she herself?
Since she was a child, she knew that the world was not peaceful, and it was even more difficult for a princess who had died in the country.
She has the last expectation of the Zheng royal family, and she struggles to survive between the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Chu, and she can't declare the coercion she has suffered in the face of her lover.
So Zheng Li never wants Hehua to become a second self.
She should have a beautiful and free life, even though it is very slim for people living in the royal family, but Zheng Li wants to give it a try.
Zhao Jia, Zheng Li suddenly flashed an extremely dangerous thought, just like the cold light of the sword in her mind.
The rain outside the window was falling unusually hard at this time.
Suddenly, a weight pressed on her shoulder.
"Ahh She couldn't help but exclaim.
Without waiting for Zheng Li to react, a pair of powerful arms forcibly turned her around.
Yingzheng
I've been waiting for her for a long time.
"Hehua."
The Battle of Qin to Destroy Han was a war in which the Qin army conquered Korea (present-day central Henan) in the course of the Battle of the Six Kingdoms of Qin from the 16th to 17th years of the reign of King Qin (231-230 BC).
Name: Qin's Battle to Destroy Han: Location of the Battle of Central Henan: Qin State, Korean Result: Qin Army's Victory, Korea's Defeat, Strength of the Participating Party: Qin: 100,000, Han: About 45,000 Main Commander: Nei Shi Teng; Han: Han Wang'an occurred 230 years ago
After eradicating the forces of the two major groups of Chang Yu and LΓΌ Buwei, King Yingzheng of Qin began to unify the Six Kingdoms War. First of all, he started from Korea, the weakest of the six countries, and it happened that at this time, Nanyang, South Korea, faked Shouteng and surrendered the city, and the king of Qin appointed the fake Shouteng as the internal history of Beijing.
In the battles between the Qin and Zhao armies in the battles of Fei and Fanwu, the Qin army was successively annihilated by about 100,000 people (see the Battle of Fei and the Battle of Fanwu), with huge losses and the attack blocked. However, the Zhao army also suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, according to the original central breakthrough, the Qin State annihilated one by one from near to far, and directed the main direction of attack towards South Korea.
In 234 BC, Qin attacked Han, and Han Wang An sent Han Fei to envoy Qin, but Qin left Han Fei and killed him soon.
In September of the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin (231 BC), Nanyang Shouteng of Korea voluntarily surrendered and sacrificed Nanyang Land (the area south of Taihang Mountain and north of the Yellow River in present-day Henan). After receiving it, the Qin State actually used this place as a base for advancing and preparing for an attack on Korea.
In the seventeenth year of the reign of King Qin (230 BC), Nei Shiteng led the Qin army to suddenly cross the Yellow River south to attack Korea, conquering the Han capital Xinzheng (now Xinzheng, Henan) in one fell swoop, capturing Han Wang'an, and then occupying the entire territory of Korea and destroying Korea. The Qin State then set up Yingchuan County in Korea, and established the county in Yangzhai (now Yuzhou, Henan).
In this battle, the Qin State used its absolute superiority in forces to attack and destroy Korea in one fell swoop, occupying the strategic place located in the "pivot of the world", and taking the first successful step in the war to unify China.
The battle of Qin to destroy Zhao refers to the battle between 236 BC (the 11th year of the reign of King Qin of Qin) and 222 BC (the 25th year of the reign of King Qin of Qin), in the war of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, the Qin State defeated the Zhao State (now southern Hebei, northern Shanxi, etc.).
In 236 B.C. (the eleventh year of the reign of King Qin), the Qin State took the Yan State and the Zhao State to fight against each other, and when the rear of the Zhao State was empty, Wang Jian was the main general, and the troops were divided into two ways to attack Zhao, and more than ten cities such as Zhao Ye (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei) were captured. The Zhao army defended the city and avoided a decisive battle, and the battle was stalemate. In 234 BC (the thirteenth year of the reign of King Qin), the Qin army attacked Pingyang (now southeast of Cixian County, Hebei), annihilated 100,000 Zhao troops, and killed Zhao generals. Then he waved his army to the north, and was defeated by Zhao general Li Mu at Yi'an (now southeast of Shijiazhuang, Hebei). In 232 B.C. (the fifteenth year of the reign of King Qin), Wang Jian changed his tactics and harassed the Zhao capital Handan (now Handan City) with a force, and led the main force from Shangdang County (the eldest son of the county, now southwest of Shanxi) out of Jingcheng (now northwest of Jingcheng, Hebei), in an attempt to cut off Zhao's waist.
In 229 BC (the eighteenth year of the reign of King Qin), Wang Jian took advantage of the famine in Zhao and sent part of the army to surround Handan after a long journey, and personally led the main force east out of Jingcheng. Wang Jian made a counter-plot to make Zhao Wang order Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to replace Li Mu as generals. In 228 BC (the nineteenth year of the reign of King Qin), Wang Jian broke the Zhao army and pacified the Dongyang area (about now Xingtai area, Hebei). The Qin army marched south to conquer Handan and captured Zhao Wangqian. The son of Zhao Guo, Jia, fled to Daiguo and became king. In 222 BC (the twenty-fifth year of the reign of King Qin), Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, destroyed the dynasty and captured his son Jia, and the state of Zhao finally perished.
Phase 1
In 236 BC (the eleventh year of the reign of King Qin), the Qin State took advantage of the great war between the Zhao State and the Yan State and the emptiness of the country, and divided the army to attack the Zhao State in two ways. The famous general Wang Jian led an army to capture Yanhe (now Heshun, Shanxi) and Luyang (now Zuoquan, Shanxi), and the generals Huan Qi and Yang Duanhe led an army to capture Ye (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei) and Anyang (now southwest of Anyang, Henan).
In 234 BC (the thirteenth year of the reign of King Qin), Huan Qi led his army to attack Pingyang (now southeast of Ci County, Hebei) and Wucheng (now southwest of Ci County, Hebei), killing Zhao generals, beheading 100,000, defeating Zhao army and occupying the city.
In 233 B.C. (the 14th year of the reign of King Qin), Huan Qi waved his army across the Taihang Mountains, occupied Chili and Yi'an (now southeast of Shijiazhuang, Hebei), and attacked the hinterland of Zhao. King Zhao hurriedly transferred Li Mu, a famous general who was defending the border of the Xiongnu in the north, and led his troops to resist Qin, and defeated the Qin army at Fei (now west of Jinzhou, Hebei). Huan Qi ran back.
In 232 BC (the fifteenth year of the reign of King Qin), the Qin army attacked Ye and Langmeng (now Yangqu, Shanxi) and Fanwu (now southwest of Lingshou, Hebei) in two ways, but was also defeated by Li Mujun. However, the Zhao army also suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the capital Handan (in present-day Hebei).
Phase II
After that, the Qin army rested for three years. In 230 BC (the seventeenth year of the reign of King Qin), when the Qin army wiped out Korea, the state of Zhao encountered a severe drought, the country lacked food, and the people's hearts fluctuated. After stabilizing the situation in the occupied areas and transforming the Han land into Yingchuan County, the Qin State immediately transferred its troops to the Zhao State, and in 229 BC (the eighteenth year of the reign of the Qin Dynasty), he sent troops to attack the Zhao State from two directions by taking advantage of the great famine of the Zhao State. Wang Jian led the soldiers of Shangdi (now northern Shaanxi), and Qiang led the Qiang soldiers out of Jingcheng (now west of Jingcheng, Hebei); Yang Duanhe led the troops of Hanoi (now Xinxiang, Henan) to attack Handan from the north and south. King Zhao sent Li Mu and Sima Shang to lead an army to resist. Li Mu still adopted the policy of building fortifications and avoiding hasty decisive battles. The Qin army was repeatedly invincible, forming a stalemate.
Wang Jian took advantage of the ignorance of Zhao Wangqian, the weakness of his favored retainer Guo Kai's greed for money and profit, and his jealousy of the virtuous and jealous, and used counter-plots. Zhao Wangqian listened to the slander, and ordered Zhao Cong and Yan Ju to replace Li Mu and Sima Shang as generals. Li Mu refused to accept the order and was killed by Zhao Wangqian. Li Mu governed the army in a good way, cared for his subordinates, lived and fought with officers and soldiers in the border defense for many years, and was quite morale-friendly, but after being killed, the army was disheartened and the army disintegrated.
In March 228 BC (the nineteenth year of the reign of King Qin), Wang Jian's army took advantage of the momentum to attack fiercely, defeated the Zhao army in one fell swoop, killed Zhao Cong, and occupied Dongyang (east of Taihang Mountain). Yan Ju fled in fear. In October, Wang Jian and Qiang's army broke through Handan and captured Zhao Wangqian. Zhao Gongzijia led hundreds of members of his clan to flee to the dynasty (northwest of present-day Wei County, Hebei) and established himself as king. But at this time, the state of Zhao had already existed in name only, and the state of Qin set up Handan County in Zhao.
The Zhao army and the Yan army were jointly stationed in Shanggu Yishui (northwest of present-day Huailai, Hebei) in an attempt to prevent the Qin army from continuing northward. In 227 BC (the twentieth year of the reign of King Qin), it was defeated by the Qin army. In 222 BC (the twenty-fifth year of the reign of King Qin), Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, led the army to destroy the remnants of Yan and Zhao, broke the dynasty and captured Wang Jia. The state of Zhao was completely destroyed.
Zhao was a country second only to Qin in strength in the late Warring States period: there were a large number of military generals, such as Zhao Wuling Wang, Lian Po, Zhao Hao, Li Mu, Pang Xuan, etc., especially Lian Po and Li Mu were the most famous; The army also has hundreds of thousands of elite divisions; Zhao fought against Qin for many years, and the people were also very familiar with military affairs. However, most of its monarchs were incompetent, obedient to the traitorous ministers, 450,000 were killed in the Battle of Changping, and the elite was lost, even if there were thousands of Lian Po and Li Mu, they could not escape their destruction in the end.
