Ji Yan, the 37th monarch of the Zhou Dynasty.

The grandson of King Xian of Zhou, the son of King Jiding of Zhou Shenliang, during his reign, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was divided into two small countries, the Eastern Zhou and the Western Zhou.

King Zhou, named the Son of Heaven, was driven to live in the Western Zhou Dynasty and reigned for fifty-nine years.

Legend has it that the king of Zhou was in debt to the people, and because of the evasion of debts, he lived in the palace on the platform, and the Zhou people called his platform "the platform for escaping debts", and the idiom of high debts came from this.

Zhou Yun Wang Jiyan lived in worry.

After destroying the last small overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu occupied almost the entire Southern Celestial Empire, becoming the large country with the largest land, the largest population, and the largest number of troops among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and had the favorable conditions for destroying the Six Kingdoms and unifying Hua-Xia.

However, due to the failure of the Wu Qi reform, the strength of the old aristocracy hindered the development of the Chu State and became the target of the Qin State's attack.

King Huai of Chu did not listen to Qu Yuan's dissuasion again, and listened to Zilan's words to go to the meeting, and was really hijacked by Qin soldiers, escorted to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and died of grief and Qin.

After the fall of Yingdu, Qu Yuan couldn't bear to see the destruction of the Chu State, committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River (now Xiang-Yin-County), was accidentally rescued by Wang Zheng, and witnessed the Battle of Changping, and then there was no news.

During the reign of Ji Yan, the king of Zhou, after the Battle of Yique, the Qin army won a great victory under the command of Bai Qi, destroying more than 240,000 enemies, and the forces of Han and Wei were seriously weakened.

After that, Qin continued to attack and encroach on the Three Jins, and the growing strength of the Qin State made King Qin Zhaoxiang not satisfied with the title of king, but wanted to be called emperor to show his dignity and prepare to replace Zhou.

King Qin Zhaoxiang about the king of Qi together called the emperor, Qin for the west emperor, Qi for the east emperor, and the two strong emperors, so that the five countries panicked, in the vertical and horizontal family Su Qin's plan began the five countries to attack Qin and the six countries to attack Qi two major events, Yan, Qin, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han six countries in the Qin King organization jointly attacked Qi, the Yan army under the command of the famous general Le Yi defeated the Qi army, long drive straight in, capture the capital of Qi Linzi, capture more than 70 cities of Qi, Qi only left Ju, Jimo two cities, Qi Wang fled to Ju.

Sixty years of King Zhou, the nearly 100-year-old King Ji Yan of Zhou died of grief and indignation, the people of Zhou died in the east, and the state power of the Zhou Dynasty has been controlled by the Duke of Western Zhou and the Duke of Eastern Zhou, the Duke of Western Zhou is based on Luoyang, and the Duke of Eastern Zhou is based on Gongyi.

Soon after, the Western Zhou Dynasty Wen Gong Ji died, and the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty fled to the east to establish Ji Jie as king.

Wang Yi led the army to take Jiuding into Xianyang, and King Qin Zhaoxiang took Jiuding and placed it in Xianyang (on the way, a Ding fell in Surabaya), and moved to the west of Zhou Gong Yu Regret Fox.

During the time when Ying Yiren was in Zhao State, he should have married a wife and had a son, which was named Ying Zheng.

Jiuding has been the kingship since ancient times, in the palace of King Qin shortly after Bai Qi's death, Ying Ji opened his eyes, raised his hand, glared angrily into the air, his hands trembled, everyone in the hall looked at him at a loss, and finally, Ying Ji left a sigh and hung down his hand on the couch.

Although later, under the operation of Lü Buwei, the newly succeeded Qin Xiaowen Wang Yingzhu suddenly died and reigned for three days.

At this time, the Eastern Zhou Jun wanted to take advantage of Qin's funeral Zhaoxiang and Xiaowen's two kings to join Qin in the name of Zhou Shun Wang Ji Jie, and the country could not be protracted without a king, and Yingzi Chu succeeded to the throne, and named Lü Buwei as Xiangbang, and sealed Wen Xinhou, Xia Ji was the Empress Dowager Xia, and Mrs. Huayang was the Empress Dowager of Huayang.

The time for the unification of the Qin State is approaching, the wolf smoke dies in Qiusha, and those immortal laws are recited on the Great Dao!!

Yingzi Chu just succeeded to the throne for a few days, he should have been busy with government affairs, Qin State stopped fighting for only a few years, and the people could not breathe for a moment, Yingzi Chu asked Meng Fu to lead people to attack Han Gao and Xing two cities, and Meng Tian attacked Wei State.

At this time, in the battlefield, Shang Ying changed the law that year, in addition to the promotion of military merit, there is also a set of system of demotion, after a battle, if no one is killed, or the number of people killed in the same army does not meet the total number of people in the same army, it will be a general.

Losing a knighthood means losing land, servants, food, and finally becoming a slave!

The Qin soldiers not far from Wang Zheng took Wang Zheng's miraculous counter-killing, Wang Zheng's step counter-killing, when the two sides were fighting fiercely, several cloud ladders were already close to the city wall, so that the Qin army charging in the rear was greatly inspired, and was greatly encouraged.

On the carriage of the Chinese army's carriage, the old handsome Wang Yi looked at the siege situation at the city gate, and his brows were twisted together and he said secretly in his heart: "This is the big guy of the immortal family who really knows how to play, can he teach a handsome talent like Wu Anjun, hey, it's a pity ......"

In that year, the battle of Qin and Han, the county guard of Shangdang Feng Ting wanted to surrender to Zhao State, and dedicated the city, people, and land around Shangdang to Zhao State, Zhao Wang was hesitant and difficult to decide, and finally, under the persuasion of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, accepted Shangdang, thus opening the prelude to the Battle of Changping, 200,000 Qin troops buried their bones here, and it was difficult to recover for more than ten years.

And the 450,000 Zhao soldiers were killed in the pit, and there was not one out of ten men.

The second army of Qin and Zhao has a deep hatred like the sea.

The Qin State divided the title into 20 grades, Gongshi, Shangzao, hairpin, not more, doctor, official doctor, Gongdafu, Gongcheng, five doctors, left long, right long, left, middle, right, less, big, car, big, Guanneihou, Chehou.

The 20 levels of titles are divided into four levels: Shi, Doctor, Qing, and Marquis.

And Wang Zheng is not for the title, after talking with Qu Yuan, to be precise, he was scolded and woken up, Wang Zheng reused secret medicine to change back to the way he was when he was young, and after finding Wang Yu to explain everything, he joined the Qin army under Wang Yu's recommendation, and was ready to help Qin unify in advance.

At this time, in the Shangdang County Government, Sima Meng's face was slightly pale, and the faces of the next generals were extremely heavy, and next to Sima Meng, there was a man in a plain shirt, and the man's phoenix eyes and eyebrows were slightly closed, and he couldn't see his thoughts.

Sima dreamed: "Our army made a surprise attack a few days ago, but it was detected by the Qin army, this plan was laid out by Mr. Xiang, our army has been preparing for this for more than a month, just waiting for the Qin army to be careless, and break the enemy in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect to be seen through by the Qin army, and suffered heavy losses." ”

Mr. Xiang opened his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "The battle between the soldiers, although there is no complete move, but this plan is a deduction of the giant head of the soldiers for a few days dedicated to the Zhao State, this situation is destined to be the annihilation of the Qin army, and after receiving the battle report, this plan was broken by a strategist in the Qin army, named Wang Zheng, and the general can know who Wang Zheng is?" ”

"Ben Shuai has never heard of this person, is it not Qin Jun's plan to mislead us, is it not Wang Di's plan?"

"Although Wang Ji is wise, the soldier has already been determined, but there is such a person, I can't imagine that after Bai Qi's death, Qin will have a great talent!"

"But now the big thing is in the heart of the army, the old man expects that the Qin army will inevitably launch a fierce attack, and our army still aims to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent the Qin army from attacking the city."

"As for the matter of the king's government to be handed over to the Mo family for the time being, we only need to hold on for more than a month, and they will definitely be defeated without a fight."

Sima Meng nodded and said, "That's all it takes, I hope you stop Qin's Tyranny-Master!" ”

At night time, the Qin army assembled under the order of Wang Di to consult Wang Zheng!

"Pass my commander's order, and the whole army will light the torches!" In a moment, tens of thousands of torches were lit among the 100,000 Qin troops, illuminating the entire battlefield.

Qin Jun's move frightened Zhao Jun into a stagger, and soon, the voice of the messenger alarmed Sima Meng and others.

Sima Meng laughed and said: "Wang Ji is so stupid, Wang Zheng is not as good as General Zhao Kuo, and the night attack has made our army known, it is really stupid." ”

"Maybe this Qin army has a plan, and the generals can't be careless."

Wang Yi and the others saw that on the city tower, the archers were standing in rows, and their faces were suddenly embarrassed.

Wang Ben said: "Dad, what should I do?" ”

Wang Jian replied: "Believe in Wang Zheng and act according to the plan." ”

Wang Zheng looked back at the county town and said in his heart: "It's now!" ”

At this time, the originally bright sky was suddenly obscured by a layer of white dark clouds, and countless Qin troops were eroded by a slight coolness.

"Fog?" Wang Yi and the generals were also confused by the sudden appearance of a thick fog.

"Could this be that Wu Anjun observed the celestial phenomena before?" As soon as the dense fog appeared, Wang Jian was shocked, and suddenly thought of Wang Zheng's strategy, the straw man, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his head, as if he had seen a ghost.

Wang Yi could no longer see the scene a few meters away, and at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Zheng in the car, still smiling.

Finally, he knew the plan of Wang Zheng, an immortal, and the defenders of the Zhao army were also confused by the sudden fog.

Sima Meng was stunned and laughed: "It seems that the Qin army's plan to attack the city tonight has failed. ”

The thick fog rolled, as if a devouring dragon lurked, and the sound of war drums was violently remembered, and countless Qin troops chanted.

Sima Meng was shocked and said angrily: "Qin Jun is so stupid! Shoot arrows, quickly, and never allow the Qin army to get close. ”

Rows of crossbowmen fired arrows at the Qin army buried in the fog on the top of the city tower, only to see that the straw man in front of the car pile was full of arrows from the Zhao army, and a straw man was on it.

"Come on, tie up these arrows!"

Wang Zheng instructed, and soldiers immediately came to clean up the arrows of the Zhao army.

"If this immortal makes a move as soon as possible, Wu Anjun will not be like this, hey!" Wang Yi looked at Wang Zheng in the posture of an immortal on the side.

Sima Mengju thought that the Qin army would inevitably suffer heavy losses, but at this moment, the Zhao army was also sleepy.

The Qin army's logistics troops tied the arrows given by the Zhao army together one by one, and when the fog faded, the outline gradually became clear, and there was nothing under the empty city tower.

As the fog spread, Sima Meng also discovered something extremely wrong, but did not see a single corpse of Qin Jun.

Suddenly, Sima Meng was sweating profusely, his eyes widened, and his mind quickly recalled the Qin army's siege of the city last night, and fell for the Qin army's trick!

I saw that the young soldier on the same carriage with Wang Yi waved his hand towards the city tower, and the 100,000 army shouted at the same time: "Thank you for the arrows from the general!" ”

Sima Meng trembled all over, his nails were embedded in the upper floors of the city wall, and blood flowed in pain: "Our army is resting, and the great king's ministers deserve death!" ”

Soon after, the Qin army, under the leadership of lieutenants, military marquis and other officers, launched a fierce charge.

Tens of thousands of Qin troops finally stepped on the city tower, and the Zhao army's heart was broken, and after a night of tossing, they were already tired, how to deal with the fierce offensive of the Qin army at this time.

Wang Jian and his son took the lead in entering the Shangdang County Guard's Mansion, and at this moment, Wang Ji's eyes were staring at Sima Meng, who had already been tied up and escorted behind Wang Qian.

Sima Meng's face was like ashes, and one wrong step was the situation of life and death, and he said angrily: "Wang Yi, you must not be complacent, after the fact, the six countries will definitely form an alliance to fight together-tyranny-Qin." ”

Wang Yi replied: "Hmph, childish words, even if your uncle Sima Shang comes in person, Ben Shuai can capture him alive, and the rats of the six countries are united, what is my Great Qin afraid of." ”

Wang Yi wrote three brief letters about the battle situation, and instructed the horses to speed up and multiply the starry night to Xianyang.

The capital of Qin, Xianyang.

In the main hall of the palace, Zhuangxiang Wang Yingzi Chu frowned, did not say a word, and fell into the eyes of Lu Buwei and others with a restless look.

Zichu was a hostage in Zhao State in his early years, and he naturally hated Zhao State in every way, and his favorite woman and son are still hostage in Zhao State.

The Empress Dowager Huayang found herself several times, and between her words, she hinted several times that she intended to establish Gongzi Jiao as the crown prince.

Back then, Huayang Jun had many wives and concubines, but the most favored Mrs. Huayang had no children.

His younger brother Yang Quanjun said: "Mrs. has no children, who can support her in the future, I have heard that I am a strange person and a wise person, so it is better to adopt it as an adopted son!" ”

After Mrs. Huayang was moved, she accepted Yiren as her son according to Yangquanjun's wishes.

When Zichu ascended the throne, Mrs. Huayang became the current Empress Dowager of Huayang.

Between the two, Zichu knew that when he established his biological mother Xia Ji as the queen mother, the relationship between the two was not as good as before.

At this moment, an eager voice came from outside the Xianyang Palace.

"King, report on the front-line war!"

The battle report immediately alarmed Zichu and Lü Buwei, Meng Fu, Qi Gong and others.

"What, hurry up, hurry up, Wang Di's battle report, give it to the widow." Win Zichu's eyes were round and he muttered: "The Zhao army is completely annihilated!" ”

Lü Buwei was shocked: "The Zhao army is completely annihilated!? ”

"The straw man borrowed arrows, a hundred miles of dense fog, and captured Sima's dream, good, good!! My Great Qin actually produced such a person, this person, the widow will be rewarded. ”

Lu Buwei and the others were already impatient, and quickly picked up the battle report, the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became, the talent of this person was better than Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Bai Qi and others! Meng Fu sighed.

Lu Buwei and Meng Fu glanced at each other, their faces full of incredulity.

Lü Buwei was happy when he saw the winning son Chu Jun, and said: "Congratulations to the king, for opening up the territory and expanding the territory for Great Qin again." ”

"Congratulations to the King! The king is mighty! ”

Seeing the situation of the courtiers, Ying Zichu felt that since he was in power, the happiest thing was at this moment.

After pondering for a moment, Lü Buwei said: "Since the Shang Dynasty, my Great Qin has used military merits to control the army, and the prime minister believes that the military knights can be rewarded according to the Qin system, and in terms of official positions, they can wait for them to return to Xianyang and be rewarded as appropriate." ”

Winning Zichu ordered people to prepare books, picked up pen and ink and wrote on the edict.
