Chapter 81 Baiyue
Although the Qin State is recuperating, it does not mean that it is completely defensive. It is very large-scale. Large-scale wars are difficult to launch, but small-scale wars are not a problem.
After a year of rest and recuperation, the raids started again, with no intention of allowing the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei to restore their national strength with peace of mind. However, the Qin State had a stronghold in Weihan and dangerous mountains and rivers, so a small-scale war would have little impact on its own restoration of national strength.
In mid-January, Qin general Hegong led 20,000 Qin troops to suddenly attack Juan within the Great Wall of Wei. Some of the Wei generals who had taken it lightly were caught off guard. By early February, 30,000 Wei troops had been beheaded.
Wang Jian and Wang Lu led 30,000 Qin troops respectively in mid-February and mid-March to attack Zhao and South Korea.
Because the two countries had learned Wei's lessons and were prepared, the losses were not as great as those of Wei, but more than ten thousand people were beheaded. The soldiers of the two countries did not dare to fight in the field until reinforcements arrived.
The Qin army then dispersed into small groups and wreaked havoc everywhere.
The spring plowing of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei was affected to a certain extent. It was not until the three kingdoms mobilized their troops to encircle and suppress that Qin withdrew its troops.
The next year, in 244 BC, the Qin State mobilized troops again, and it was still a small-scale attack, but the time was in March.
There was no movement of troops in January and February, and it seems that there is no plan to invade this year.
The policy of the Qin State is similar to that of the nomads in their prosperity. They rely on their own terrain advantages and strategic advantages to constantly harass and slowly bleed while sucking blood to replenish themselves. It can be described as cutting flesh with a blunt knife.
In fact, the Qin State's troop movements were all carried out secretly. The number of troops each troop dispatched was very small and inconspicuous at all. The confidentiality measures were strict. In addition, there were people with snares to strangle the spies secretly. The news was not spread at all.
go out.
It wasn't until the beginning of March that a fierce attack came directly to Wei State.
General Meng Ao personally led 40,000 elite Qin troops to attack several cities in the state of Wei such as Wei and Yougui. After breaking the city, they looted all the supplies in the city and destroyed all the rice seedlings in the farmland around the city when they left.
Meng Ao did not stop at the few cities he captured, nor did he divide his troops to garrison them. In early April, he directly sent his troops south to attack South Korea. He conquered twelve cities in a row with great momentum along the way.
Although the twelve cities were basically small cities, the harvest was not cheap, and facing Korea, a soft persimmon, Qin had no intention of not occupying the cities, and directly stationed troops in the cities and classified them as Qin territory.
Of course South Korea is not willing to give in. The old Han Hui King Han Ran also had great glory in the past. What do you mean, he only robbed the city of Wei, but he directly occupied the city of South Korea?
You look down on people, right?
The angry Han Ran directly sent the Korean general to lead the Korean army to attack. As a result, facing the Qin army who was defending the city and had support from outside, he retreated in despair with a bloody head.
Compared with the general of South Korea and Meng Ao, the general of Qin, the gap is quite big. It's all about me beating my son, which highlights the ease and joy.
At this time, the Korean general was not the same guy as Ji Wuye, but now Ji Wuye had already emerged and led an army on his own.
After suffering the defeat, Han Ran became more and more aggrieved as he thought about it, thinking that this king was meaningless...
In the past few years, the big brothers have bullied South Korea even if they make a small mistake. I, Qin, are even more unreasonable and unreasonable. If they are right or wrong, they will beat South Korea. There is no way to explain.
There is no sense in the Warring States Period. It was all about the jungle and the strong. South Korea also bullied the Zheng State and destroyed it directly. The capital was moved to Xinzheng.
At this time, Han An saw the opportunity and went to the palace to see him, and told him the plan he had already prepared.
After hearing this, Han Ran was immediately moved. If my brothers and I can't win, how can Baiyue, the younger brother among us, not win?
Besides, with the Chu State following them, this war can be said to be within grasp. It just happened to take advantage of the Baiyue rebellion to boost his and South Korea's power, and it could also make up for the losses over the years. Why not?
Within a few days, Han An was appointed as the chief general to quell the rebellion in Baiyue, and he was followed by generals such as Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei, Li Kai, and Liu Yi.
Leading the army, Han Anzhi left South Korea with great satisfaction.
Counterinsurgency?
How can the mere military merit of counterinsurgency be enough?
He wants to destroy the country!
…
Naturally, such a huge movement in the great country of Han and Chu could not be concealed from the people of the world. Big figures from all over the world have received the information one after another.
No big shot pays attention to the actions of the two countries. It's just an attack on Baiyue. What's worth paying attention to?
Isn’t that a matter of certainty and certainty?
None of the seven countries in the world paid much attention to the barbarians. Qin, Zhao, Yan, Chu, and South Korea, which one did not beat the barbarians on their heads?
The scattered wolf tribe of Baiyue does not pose much of a threat at all. Only the unified barbarians are a sufficient threat. The combat power of the Baiyue army seems to be worse than that of the wolf tribe in all the countries in the Central Plains. There is really no need to pay too much attention to it.
There is still a difference between barbarians and barbarians. The wolves in the north are more threatening. Because of the terrain, the possibility of the wolves in the north uniting and forming a joint force is much greater than that of Bai.
The mountains and forests, snakes and insects everywhere, the miasma-filled terrain, and underdeveloped information exchange have hindered the true unification of Baiyue. Today's Baiyue Kingdom is said to be a country, rather than a tribal alliance, and the king is the leader.
Han and Chu only dealt with this alliance leader, and at most the affiliated tribes that were far away from each other. Unlike after the unification of Qin, Ying Zheng wanted to conquer all the tribes in Baiyue, large and small, and turn all the land into Qin territory.
The harsh terrain environment hindered the unification of Baiyue, but it also effectively curbed invasion and conquest from other places.
Not many people who were not locals could endure that environment. Non-combat attrition accounted for half of the total battle losses. It is not an exaggeration.
Other big shots don't pay attention, but that doesn't mean Cheng Qiao doesn't pay attention.
The beauty is second, but the most important thing is that the chess piece Tianze will play a certain role in Qin's future conquest of Baiyue. After all, he is the prince of Baiyue, and many people value this thing in name.
Attention is concern, but Cheng Qiao has no intention of saving Tianze.
The objective reason is that it is too far away, and it is heavily guarded. Under the military formation, it is difficult for martial arts masters to save people in the army.
The subjective reason is that Cheng Qiao does not want to save and prevent Tianze from having a deep hatred for Chu and South Korea. How can it reflect the greatness of Qin in extending a helping hand?
When doing things, timing is very important. Doing the right thing at the right time will get twice the result with half the effort.
"Here comes someone."
Cheng Qiao leaned on the couch in Chang'an Jun's Mansion, put down the silk in his hand, and shouted casually.
Cheng Qiao is twelve years old this year and is actually ready to leave the palace and open a mansion. However, because Ying Zichu, Mrs. Han and others were reluctant to let Cheng Qiao leave the palace, it was temporarily delayed.
As for Ying Zheng, he had moved into a special palace a year ago and no longer lived in Lanzhi Palace.
"Your Majesty."
Zhong Qian emerged from the shadow of the curtain, lowered his head, and bowed his hands respectfully.
"Go and call Zhanri."
"Young master, if you have anything to do, you can ask your servant, and I can do it." Zhong Qian gritted his teeth and asked for help.
"This matter can't be solved with the ground net in your hand. Tianluo must take action."
"Here."
Cheng Qiao had already patiently explained it, so Zhong Qian naturally didn't dare to have other ideas, otherwise he would be in dire straits.
He responded respectfully, took a few steps back, quickly turned around, and left silently.
Zhong Qian has already started practicing martial arts, and his qualifications are not bad. With sufficient resources, he is not far away from opening up the eight extraordinary meridians.
However, it is too late to practice martial arts, and I will remain a second-rate master until my death.
Tianze doesn't need to take care of it, Yan Lingji, Madam Hu, and Hu Meiren still have to take care of it.
As for Mrs. Pearl, he doesn’t need to worry about it. This is a ferocious black spider, a big shark!
