Chapter 21
【Tian Rong of Qi had just been defeated by the Qin army, and he resented Zhao for not killing his political enemy Tian Jiao, so he chose to stand aside and huddle on the ground, gathering troops to protect himself.】
【The Chu State had just killed General Xiang Liang by Zhang Han and did not dare to send troops north to rescue, so now the situation is very good for the Qin State.】
【As long as Zhao is captured, the lingering Wei State will be quickly wiped out. At that time, whether he goes south to attack Chu or east to destroy Qi, it will be easy for Zhang Han】
【Seeing that Zhang Han was about to complete Qin Shihuang's hegemony of reunifying the world, an accident happened at this time】
【The Chu army, which was originally thought to have lost its combat effectiveness, sent troops at this time.】
【It turned out that when King Huai of Chu heard that Xiang Liang had died in battle, he was very frightened and overwhelmed. He was afraid that Zhang Han would take advantage of the victory and kill him, and then take off his head.】
【Fortunately, it didn't take long for King Huai of Chu to receive news that Zhang Hanbei was attacking Zhao. This made him surprised and happy. While he was lucky to have survived, he also thought that this was the best time for him to take over power.】
【The original King Huai of Chu was just a puppet supported by Xiang Liang. He had no real power at all. The military power was in Xiang Liang's hands. King Huai of Chu almost became a plaything in Xiang Liang's hands.】
【But now that Xiang Liang was dead, it was an opportunity for King Huai of Chu to seize power. He immediately summoned his confidants and rushed from Xuyi to Pengcheng, and directly ordered Xiang Yu's army to be brought under his command, and appointed Lu Chen as Situ. His father, Lu Qing, was appointed Ling Yin, and Liu Bang was granted the title of Commander of Dang County and Marquis of Wu'an, and he still commanded the army of Dang County.】
【King Huai of Chu began to rectify the political situation of Chu State. He also personally took charge of the military and political affairs of the Chu State, completely ousted Xiang Yu, stole all of Xiang Liang's military power, and began his own rule.】
【Not long after this, King Chu Huai received a letter asking for help from King Zhao.】
【At that time, the Qin army was nearly 400,000 strong and was besieging Julu City. No one dared to go to fight. However, King Chu Huai thought that he could not save the dead soon, so he immediately planned to send troops to rescue King Zhao.】
【In September of the second year of Qin II, King Huai of Chu appointed Song Yi as the top general, made Xiang Yu the Duke of Lu, as the second general, and Fan Zeng as the bottom general. With Song Yi as the commander, he led more than 60,000 troops to the north to relieve the difficulty of Julu.】
【Song Yi's army marched to Anyang, stayed for forty-six days, and stopped marching. After all, he only had 60,000 men under his command. How could he be the opponent of the 400,000 Qin army? There were even 200,000 elite border troops among them. Song Yi was so frightened that he did not dare to think about the first half step.】
【Xiang Yu was eager for revenge. He was not afraid of the Qin army at all. He directly suggested to Song Yi: The Qin army surrounded Zhao in Julu. If we quickly lead the troops across the river and attack with the Zhao soldiers from inside and outside, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army.】
【Song Yi thought Xiang Yu was a lunatic. The Qin army had an army of 400,000. How could it be easily defeated? If you have to cross the river to fight the Qin army, you are obviously going to die!】
【Not only did he reject Xiang Yu's request to fight, he even mocked Xiang Yu severely because Song Yi had a grudge against the Xiang family.】
【When he was in Dingtao, Song Yi once advised Xiang Liang that arrogant soldiers would be defeated, but Xiang Liang refused to listen and sent him as an envoy to Qi State.】
【Now that the roles have been reversed, Song Yi has become the commander-in-chief, so naturally he doesn’t want to see Xiang Yu】
【Xiang Yu was so angry that he left the tent and had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only patrol the military camp.】
【At that time, it rained heavily and the weather was cold. The Chu soldiers were miserable, cold and hungry. However, Song Yi, as the commander-in-chief, only cared about drinking and having fun in the camp and had no sympathy for the soldiers' hard work.】
【After Xiang Yu endured it for two days, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He chose to see Song Yi again and wanted to persuade Song Yi to send troops. However, Song Yi still kept talking and had no intention of sending troops.】
【After the communication failed, Xiang Yu broke out completely. He immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed Song Yi to death. Then he took Song Yi's head and ordered the three armies to】
【Xiang Yu claimed that Song Yi planned to unite with the Qi State to cause chaos, and that he was following the order of King Huai of Chu to kill Song Yi and bring order to the chaos.】
【The generals were afraid of Xiang Yu's power and did not dare to resist, so they could only recommend Xiang Yu as their general.】
【Huan Chu told King Chu Huai about this. Although King Chu Huai was angry, he could only hold his nose and endure it. He named Xiang Yu a general, and also transferred two Chu armies, Ying Bu and General Pu, to Xiang Yu. command】
【After Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, he was powerful in the Chu country and famous among the princes. He did not hesitate at all and immediately sent troops north to fight the Qin army to the death! 】
Da Qin.
After Ying Zheng saw the scene of light and shadow, he was very confused.
Didn’t it mean that Qin was finally destroyed? But judging from the current situation, the advantage clearly lies with me.
Zhang Han's 200,000 victorious troops, plus Wang Li's 200,000 elite troops, no matter how you look at this 400,000 army, it is impossible to lose. Why did Qin still perish in the end?
"Meng Yi, tell me, with these remnants of the Six Kingdoms and those leaders of Guizhou, can they be the opponents of our 400,000 Great Qin warriors? Meng
Yi had a firm face and said decisively:
"Your Majesty, our Great Qin Army is invincible in the world!!"
"So how did our Great Qin perish?"
An angry look appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and he asked:
"If our Qin army is invincible, why do these leaders of Guizhou and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms jump out one by one to rebel against our great Qin?"
"Aren't they afraid of death?"
"Your Majesty, this is all Zhao Gao's fault!"
Meng Yi did not refute, but directly pointed the finger at Zhao Gao.
After all, if it were not for Zhao Gao, the world would not be like that. At least Hu Hai would not succeed to the throne, and the people would not be in such dire straits.
"Zhao Gao!! Zhao Gao!!"
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Gao who was being executed. At this time, Zhao Gao was already mentally depressed and no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
Although his mouth was still open and his expression was in pain, he could no longer utter a scream. screams
"Not just Zhao Gao, but also that bastard Hu Hai"
"Go and bring Hu Hai over and cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts. I want to see these two culprits and cut them into pieces with a thousand cuts!!"
Meng Yi clasped his fists slightly, then turned and left.
After Meng Yi left, Li Si, who was demoted to a young concubine, hesitated for a while, then made up his mind to take a step forward, raised his hand and said:
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si and said indifferently:
"What's the matter?"
"I request your Majesty to call back the South Vietnamese troops!" As soon as
Li Si finished speaking, the courtiers made a fuss.
After all, the conquest of South Vietnam was a national policy decided by Ying Zheng himself. The First Emperor's will could not be shaken. After several years of fierce fighting, Da Qin paid a heavy price before it could be able to occupy it. South Vietnam.
If we withdraw our troops at this time, wouldn’t all the hard work we have put in be in vain?
Feng Quji immediately stood up and objected:
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."
