Chapter 214: Qin Huai competes again

Bai Qi defeated Han and Wei in a war, not only plundering large tracts of land, but also forcibly subjugating Han and Wei to Qin. In addition to the strong military strength of Qin, another reason for the surrender of Han and Wei was the death of Huai to Optimus Jade Pillar Sun Bin.

Since returning from the last expedition to the Western Chu Kingdom, Sun Bin has not been in good health. After all, he was almost sixty years old at the time. And with the death of Sun Bin, the deterrent power of Huai Guo is not as strong as before.

Although Huai Guo later got Le Yi's surrender, the trust between Le Yi and Huai Wang was not so strong. This time, the reason why Han Wei surrendered to the Qin State was not only for fear of being annexed by the Qin State, but also because it was a deterrent.

Usually the nations conquer the war, although there are losses and wins, but the number of battles such as annihilation is not much, in most cases, although defeated, the soldiers are killed or wounded at most, and about 2 to 3 percent of the actual deaths, many of them are wounded and fled.

But the war of annihilation is different, it means the almost total annihilation of the opponent.

A textbook war of annihilation made Han and Wei tremble with fear, and they had to agree to surrender to Qin. South Korea betrayed Huai, which made Huai very angry, since Huai once again defeated the Six-Nation Alliance, few countries dared to openly confront Huai. Now that South Korea is betraying Huai, Huai Guo wants to send troops to punish South Korea for the first time.

After defeating Han Wei, Bai Qi traveled south through Zhongtiao Mountain, intending to capture Shangyang City and capture Hangu Pass. After Huaiguo noticed Bai's movements, he immediately sent reinforcements to support him.

Wang Xu worshiped Le Yi as a general and led 200,000 Huai troops to the north.

After hearing that Le Yi led the army north, Bai Qi also attached great importance to it. Huai is strong and prosperous and known to all countries, the elite of the country is even more dominant in the world, and the commander Le Yi is also a famous general in the world, in the face of such a powerful opponent, Bai Qi did not have the slightest fear, and even jumped to try. Although Huaiguo Le Yi is strong, Bai Qi is not weaker than others in his life.

After Qin Wangji annihilated the Han and Wei coalition forces in the First Battle of Bai Qi, he immediately gave Bai Qi the greatest support, and the logistics baggage was constantly transported. In order to go east, the kings of Qin wanted to seize Hangu Pass, and he also did not want to give up.

Once the Qin State's cultivation and warfare system decided to operate at full strength, the power it erupted from was extremely powerful. Therefore, although the Qin State had a population of only five million, it also burst out with a force that was not weaker than the Huai State.

Wei State, Great Liang.

Since the loss of the land west of Hexi during the reign of King Wei Hui, Wei has repeatedly been defeated at the hands of Qin, and this time after surrendering to Qin, he and Korea have ceded all the cities leading to Shangyang and Hangu Pass.

The idea of Korea and Wei was to bring disaster to the east and let Qin and Huai fight against each other, so that they could get some respite. Huai Guosheng was subservient to Huai, and Qin Guosheng was subservient to Qin.

This is also the norm for small countries living in the gap between powerful countries. Wei and Korea have completely lost the opportunity to compete for world dominance, and talents from the two countries have also gone to Qin.

When Bai Qi was about to fight with Huai, Qin sent a large number of spies and lobbyists to Huai to lobby the Huai King, and walked rumors in Huai, saying that Le Yi had a heart of disobedience, and Le Yi fled from Yan back then, and he had the idea of replacing him, and now Le Yi came to Huai and was also not trustworthy.

The Qin State not only allowed a large number of spies to spread rumors, but also sent lobbyists to lobby the Huai State. These people seized Le Yi and did not make an inch, and as soon as they came to Huaiguo, they ascended to a high position, which was unfair to other people in Huaiguo, and aroused the dissatisfaction of other people in Huaiguo, so as to deal with Le Yi.

If you want to cause turmoil in the domestic political situation of Huaiguo, confuse the people into suspicion and dissatisfaction, make Huaiguo unable to fully support Le Yi, and even cause Huai Wang Xu to distrust Le Yi, it would be better.

A large number of Qin State spies spread rumors in Jinling City, and there were Qin State lobbyists to add fuel to the fire, for a time all kinds of rumors in Jinling City were noisy, Le Yi's son Le Jian experienced this situation, worried, worried about his father, and even entered the Huai Palace several times to explain to King Huai.

King Huai comforted him every time, but two days later, when Lejian saw that the rumors had not subsided, but intensified, when he wanted to see King Huai again, he was directly refused. The change in King Huai's attitude made Lejian worried.

When the spies and lobbyists of the Qin State saw this situation, they were greatly encouraged and immediately accelerated the progress and wanted to let the King of Huai change his generals. A large number of Qin spies began to become more and more active, and the Qin State used bribery, bribery, and other means to entrap officials and get them to help.

Even in the Huai Palace, there was news of a temporary change of generals. Just when the Qin spies, lobbyists, and some Huai officials wanted to go further, Jinling City suddenly became martial law, and then a group of soldiers, led by Yu Linwei, began to arrest Qin spies, lobbyists, and officials who accepted bribes in the city.

Wang Xu noticed the abnormality as soon as the rumors appeared. He was well aware of the power of the three of them becoming tigers, and he originally wanted to directly send a secret guard to solve it. was stopped by Gongziyan, Gongziyan suggested to wait a little longer, so that more spies in Jinling could come out, and at the same time, he could also clean up the official team of Huaiguo.

Although the Huai Kingdom has always had an inspection of the Imperial History and the Supervision Department, the greed and depravity of human nature will continue to erode these. Greed is the nature of human beings, even the Huai State is not immune, the Huai State has moved its capital to Jinling for more than 200 years, and there is also a lot of corruption under this prosperity. If you feel that you can sit back and relax if you have an inspection of the imperial history and the supervision department, Zhu Hongwu will not peel the skin and fill the grass.

Wang Xu thought about it for a while, then agreed to Gongziyan's strategy, and personally cooperated with him, personally wrote to Le Yi to inform him of this strategy, so that he did not have to worry, and then searched for those spies through the secret guards, and found out all kinds of corrupt and other unstable people among the Huaiguo officials and solved them together.

Huaiguo's sudden action caught everyone off guard, a large number of Qin spies were uncovered by secret guards, and those lobbyists were also arrested by Huaiguo one by one, and at the same time, Huaiguo also arrested a large number of corrupt, power-seeking officials, selling intelligence, and so on.

At the same time, after arresting these spies, officials, and lobbyists, Huai Guo also sent officials to refute the rumors to the people, and at the same time explained to Le Jian, and then sent an envoy to take Le Jian to see Le Yi to reassure him.

A large number of officials with bad deeds were arrested, and the people of Huai were very happy, and the people hated these people at any time. After cleaning up these people, the people immediately believed in Huai, and the various rumors of Qin State could be said to be self-defeating.

The Qin State sent a large number of spies to spread rumors, which not only did not make the political situation unstable in Huai, but helped Huaiguo clean up officials.
