The Eastern Expedition went unexpectedly well, and by now the entire Zhuxia was left, and the Qin State was not yet under the rule of the Huai State.

For the Qin State, Wang Luo attaches great importance to it, although the Six Kingdoms of Shandong despise the Qin State as a barbarian, but only the Huai State, which has repeatedly fought with the Qin State, clears the strength of the Qin State.

Wang Luo did not immediately launch a war to destroy Qin, and destroyed the Three Kingdoms in a row, and the Huai State was a little overwhelmed for a while, and needed to digest it and fight again.

However, although Huai did not send a large army, other actions against Qin did not stop. A large number of Huai State meticulous works infiltrated the Qin State and revealed the Huai State system to the people of the Qin State.

Qin's law is cruel, especially in these years, Qin has not won any victories in foreign wars, which has led to difficulties in the life of the bottom of Qin, and there is no way to use the title to atone for the crime.

If there is no other choice, these people of Qin can still bear it, but once you know it, do you think they will endure it? These grassroots people did not have the slightest pressure to betray the Qin state.

Huai only needs some small favors to be able to buy these people of Qin. As for the joint sitting method? Because there was no title to atone for their sins, a large number of people were guilty, and in contrast, these people wanted to flee from the Qin State even more.

Since the state of Qin was annexed by the Huai state, the state of Qin has also become panicked, and after the death of Qin Wangji, the newly enthroned king of Qin did not suppress the prestige of the nobles in the country at all. In this case, Qin's internal affairs were also in chaos.

As for the army, since Bai Qi's death, there has also been a fault line among the generals in the Qin State. There is no more general who can be the same as Bai Qi.

Huai Wang Luo ten years, after a year of rest, Xu Chao again led an army of 400,000 to attack Qin from Hedong and Hangu Pass, and at the same time, Meng Yu led 100,000 troops from Hanzhong to attack Qin, and at the same time appointed Gongzi Lu to lead an army of 100,000 from Nanyang to attack Wuguan.

The king of Huai raised his whip, the iron horse was like a forest, the five kingdoms were destroyed, the kings were captured, and the tiger looked at the world.

Now it's finally Qin's turn.

King Qin Yiren asked the ministers of the Mandian Palace: "Ladies and gentlemen, when the army of the Huai State is attacking, who can stop the Huai people from the Soldier Peak?" ”

In the Xianyang Palace, these ministers either bowed their heads and were silent, or looked at each other, and none of them said that they wanted to stop Huaiguo.

These ministers knew very well that the Huai State unified the six states of Shandong, and the current Qin State no longer had the strength to compete with the Huai State. Even if he was lucky enough to win one or two battles, it was just a last-minute breath.

What's more, the person who led the troops was Xu Chao, who was the mighty world.

In the past, Qin and Huai fought several times, and none of them won, but now Huai is strong and Qin is weak, how to fight with it?

Everyone in the hall was silent, and King Qin's face was ugly, and he immediately said: "Qin State has been raising soldiers for two hundred years, isn't there anyone who can share the worries of the widow?" ”

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are willing to lead the army to block the Huai army!" Pu Yong next to him stepped forward and said.

Seeing someone come forward, the king of Qin was overjoyed, and immediately appointed Pu Yong as the commander and led 400,000 Qin troops to resist the Huai army. Because the Huai army attacked Qin in four ways, Pu Yong could only block it in four ways.

Among them, Yixian and Wuguan each had 50,000 troops, and Hanguguan stayed behind 100,000, and then he personally led 200,000 troops to resist the Huai army attacking Hedong.

Hangu Pass, Wuguan, Hanzhong, the road is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Huai army did not attack, the two sides launched a big battle in Hedong.

The 200,000 Qin army defended with all its might, and the Huai State was difficult to conquer for a while, and Xu Chao seemed unwilling to let the army suffer too many casualties, so he did not attack after several attempts.

Just when the armies of the two sides were facing each other, Xu Chao secretly sent another partial division to the north, and the army went all the way north to cross the Yellow River and attack the Shangjun of Qin. The elite of the 100,000 Huai army attacked all the way south from Shangjun, and the army was like a bamboo.

The Qin State was shaken, and the King of Qin hurriedly recruited the army again, wanting to resist the Huai army in the north, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and before they could recruit more troops, Chen Cang suddenly came with news, the Huai army in Shu took advantage of the battle between the Qin army and the Huai army in Hanzhong, and secretly crossed the Chen Cang Road to attack the Qin State, and the defenders of the Qin State were caught off guard and were broken by the Huai army.

After opening up the Chencang Road, the Huai army immediately marched eastward, and 100,000 Huai troops raided Yixian, even if Yixian was prepared, 50,000 defenders faced the front and rear attacks of 200,000 Huai troops, how could they hold it, plus the morale of the Qin army was not high, many people knew the policy of Huai, and they had long looked forward to the Huai army occupying here, and they were not willing to fight to the death.

The generals guarding Yixian still had to defend it, but the soldiers below had already opened the city gate to sacrifice the city.

For a while, the Qin State was like a boat, leaking water everywhere, and when it was blocked, a new gap appeared.

Pu Yong, who was confronting Xu Chao in Hedong, received the news that Huai State had invaded Qin State from Shangjun and Chencang, and his face changed greatly. I can't take care of the land east of the river, and I want to withdraw my troops back to Xianyang. But Xu Chao had been waiting for him to withdraw his troops for a long time.

Originally, Pu Yong was not Xu Chao's opponent, and Xu Chao confronted him just to attract his attention. Now that the goal has been achieved, naturally I will not let go of this fat meat to my mouth.

The Qin army took advantage of the cover of night to retreat, and when they were halfway through their retreat, Xu Chao led a large army to attack, with the Tengjia army as the vanguard, and the crossbowmen on both wings shot in formation, and the Qin army was caught off guard and collapsed. There were more than 10,000 dead and wounded, and countless people fell.

The 200,000 Qin army was defeated, and Pu Yong died in the chaos, Xu Chao's army swept through the east of the river, and then crossed the river to attack the land west of the river. The three-way army advanced, and the Qin army could not draw troops to block it at all.

The 400,000 Huai army was like a bamboo, and at this time, the nobles and nobles of the Qin State also surrendered one after another, and the Huai army only took half a month to come to the city of Xianyang.

At this time, there were only 30,000 urgently recruited soldiers in Xianyang City, and most of these soldiers were old and weak, and all the elites had been wiped out by Xu Chao in Hedong.

The king of Qin was reluctant to surrender, but the nobles of the Qin state in the city did not want to die, so a palace rebellion broke out without warning, and the nobles each led twenty or thirty private soldiers to attack the palace of Qin, and the guards of the palace wanted to resist, but there were not many soldiers in the palace.

It took less than 2,000 men for the nobles to break through the palace and capture the Qin king.

In the end, the Qin King Yiren was tied up by the nobles of the princesses, and the meat and jade went out of the city and surrendered, and the last vassal state of Zhuxia perished.

Xu Chao sent people to send the King of Qin and the nobles and ministers of the Qin State to Jinling of the Huai State, and now he has made such a great achievement, but he is more and more cautious, and he does not dare to exceed it at all.

King Huai swept Liuhe, looking at He Xiong! Whip the world, and the princes come south.

With the demise of the Qin state, a unified centralized monarchy was established in the land of Zhuxia, and this system was innovated and leaped forward. It was also from this moment that the Chinese dynasties had a concept of great unification. At the same time, it also marked the formal transition from a slave society to a feudal society. ——The Establishment of Great Unification and the Birth of the Feudal System
