Wu Anjun was silent for a long time and said: "I will make Prince Chu the king. Among all the princes, Chu is the most virtuous and deeply favored by the late king. In addition, he is the prince and the future prince. It is just right to make him the king." At this time, a nobleman agreed and said: "Okay, let's make Chu the king." He also announced to the world that the King of Qin passed away suddenly and made Chu the new King of Qin. The body of the late king was buried in the tomb, and a large funeral was held, and the whole country mourned.
On this day, Lord Wu An led the princes and nobles into the Prince's East Palace to meet Prince Chu. Prince Chu suddenly panicked and said, "What are you going to do?" Lord Wu An led the princes and nobles to kneel down and said, "Prince, from now on you will be the king of Qin, the great king." Prince Chu said very sadly: "My father was assassinated. How can you want to be the king?" Lord Wu An looked at Prince Chu and said: "The country cannot be without a master for a day. The late king has a new death, and the power of all parties is undercurrent. This is a sign of great chaos, Prince." The prince could only agree. They said: "Okay, I promise you."
It was unusually quiet inside the Qin Palace. The prince slowly walked into the Qin Palace and stood under the palace, looking at the cases above the palace, thoughtfully. Lord Wu An and a group of ministers walked in and stood behind the prince. The ministers stood on the palace, holding their crowns in their hands. Lord Wu'an and his ministers all knelt down when they looked at Mianqi, who was being held up by his ministers, and knocked their heads heavily on the ground. The prince walked up slowly, put on his crown, and turned to face the ministers. These ministers looked at the new King of Qin and shouted: "My king will live for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will last for ten thousand years." All the civil and military officials and soldiers standing outside the Qin Palace knelt down together, and shouted: "My king will live for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will last for ten thousand years." The King of Qin looked at the ministers under the main hall and said, "Everyone is at peace." His Highness's ministers stood up together. King Qin walked down the steps and walked out of the palace with vigorous steps. He looked at the civil and military officials kneeling at his feet and said, "Everyone, please straighten yourself." The civil and military officials outside the palace stood up together and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Prince Chu succeeded to the throne as King, it will observe mourning for the late king for three years and kneel before the coffin of the late king.
Lord Wu'an returned to his mansion and ordered his soldiers to bring Prime Minister Qin into Lord Wu'an's mansion and retreat to the left and right sides. Lord Wu An looked at the Prime Minister of Qin and said: "Prime Minister, you can be said to be the greatest counselor of our Great Qin. I, Bai Gongfeng, am what I am today because of your recommendation. I conquered cities and plundered land for Great Qin. The fertile land is thousands of miles away, and that is why I am what I am today in Great Qin." It is so powerful that other vassal states are afraid of me, Great Qin, which is also your achievement. But what about you? You are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and you have threatened to kill me, but I will attack first. You didn't expect it." Qin Xiang looked at Lord Wu'an in front of him. , said: "You are regicide." Lord Wu An took a few steps back and said: "It wants to kill me. How can I sit back and wait for death for a general who is loyal to it." Qin Xiang looked at Lord Wu An and began to regret it, saying: "You are a disobedient criminal. You think you can hide it from the ministers in the court. How can you hide it from the ears of the world? The historian will record this. In the morning of the fifty-eighth year of King Zhao, Lord Wu'an was assassinated by Bai Gongfeng. You You will always be charged with the crime of regicide, and the insects of the world will scold you. You will be remembered for eternity, and you will be infamy for thousands of years. After your death, you will go to hell, and the previous kings will not let you go." Lord Wu An pulled out the long sword from his waist. , stabbed Qin Xiang to death. I saw Prime Minister Qin falling and twitching continuously, and blood slowly flowing out from his abdomen. He called the soldiers to carry out Prime Minister Qin's body and throw it into the wilderness.
Wu Anjun walked into the side room with concern again, looked at the cold body of the military advisor, and said: "Army advisor! You have made suggestions for Bai, and have been with me through life and death for many years. It can be said that you are my confidant. You asked me to take care of you." His body is hanging on the city tower, bearing the crime of regicide, how can I bear it?" Then he stood up again and looked up with his back. After thinking about it, he called the soldiers who came in and said: "Hang the body of the general's advisor on the city tower and tell the country's insects that the military advisor secretly communicated with the Prime Minister to assassinate the late king in the name of recommending advisors." The soldiers first looked at the corpse of the military advisor, and then looked at it. He said to Lord Wu An, "Jun Wu An." Lord Wu An closed his eyes and said unbearably, "This is also what the military advisor wanted. Just do what the military advisor wants." The corpse of the military advisor was hung on the tower. He told the world: "The military advisor secretly communicates with the prime minister to kill the king, which is a serious crime of rebellion."
Lord Wu'an led his troops into the Prime Minister's Mansion, bloodbathed the Prime Minister's Mansion, and wiped out the roots. Lord Wu An stood in front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and said: "Kill!" The soldiers rushed into the Prime Minister's Mansion and killed the insects they saw. Everyone, old and young, fell prey to their swords. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were also counselors and dead soldiers raised by the Prime Minister. They rushed out and drew their swords to resist. Thousands of soldiers rushed forward and slashed wildly. Blood splattered on the windows, smashed the doors and windows, and the soldiers rushed How can hundreds of counselors and dead soldiers be inferior to thousands of soldiers in a desperate battle? One by one, they fell into a pool of blood. The kicked dead soldiers stood up tremblingly. The long sword in their hands moved forward, looking at Lord Wu An who was standing in front of the palace gate and charging towards him. Mr. Wu An drew his sword and moved forward. He saw the long sword in Mr. Wu An's hand swinging, and his head rolled down. Then they led the troops into the backyard. These soldiers were even more aggressive and did not spare the children, women and children. The backyard suddenly became a mess. If you cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Hundreds of insects in the Xiangguo Mansion, plus thousands of dead soldiers, were all slaughtered by Lord Wu An, and no one survived. The entire Xiangguo Mansion was littered with corpses, piled up like mountains, and blood flowed into rivers. The tragedy was unbearable to witness. Finally set on fire. The Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with flames and thick smoke. The fire burned from dark to dawn, making crackling sounds. Overnight, a fire turned the entire Prime Minister's Mansion into ruins.
The King of Qin summoned Lord Wu An to the Qin Palace. Lord Wu An entered the palace of the King of Qin and saw King Qin standing in front of the coffin of the late king. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." King Qin asked, "What crime has the Prime Minister committed? You must kill him to death." Lord Wu An raised his head and asked. He said: "Your Majesty, which country is the bug of the Prime Minister?" King Qin said: "The bug of the Kingdom of Wei." Lord Wu An said: "The assassin who assassinated the late king was also a bug of the Kingdom of Wei. Your Majesty, the late king also often suspected that the Prime Minister had ulterior motives. Colluded with my military advisor. After the assassin entered Qin, the first thing he saw was the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister introduced the assassin to the military advisor, and entered the Wu'an Jun's Mansion in a grand manner, claiming that it was a counselor from the Wei State who had a plan to defeat the enemy. It could be defeated. The enemy in Hexi. I just brought it into the palace of Qin in a daze and introduced it to the late king. In this way, it can be assassinated and blamed on me. It is really killing two birds with one stone!" King Qin looked at Lord Wu An and said, "Is this really the case? Lord Wu An looked at King Qin and said, "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, the corpse of the military advisor is still hanging on the tower." King Qin said, "I know, Lord Wu An, please retreat first." Lord Wu An stood up and said, "My lord. I'll say goodbye." Then he exited. King Qin looked at the back of Lord Wu An as he walked out. Although he knew the reason for the incident, he had just succeeded to the throne and wondered whether he had any strength behind him. Lord Wu An holds a large number of troops, and if he is forced into a hurry, he will rebel. At present, we can only rely on Mr. Wu An, and let Mr. Wu An do whatever he wants. There is no other way.
Wu Anjun walked out of Xianyang City, stood under the city tower, and looked up at the corpse hanging on the tower. It feels guilty in its own heart. It stood under the tower for a long time, and then it refused to leave.
Qin has just established a new king, and now is the time to attack the Wei army in Hexi. After the Battle of Shaoliang, the main force of the Qin army was lost, but the losses of the Wei army were also considerable. They had been attacking Hexi for three months and failed to capture it. Attack the city intermittently, disrupt the Qin soldiers in the city, and at the same time build siege equipment. Zisang entered the military tent and wrote to the King of Wei, asking for more troops and food. It seemed that they were preparing for a protracted war. Even if they were delayed, they would bring down the Qin army in the city. The conflict between the two countries War is all about strength and money and food.
After the King of Wei received the report from Hexi, Zisang first reported the victory in the report, but explained the reason. When the good news came, King Wei was overjoyed and said: "Send it up." King Wei opened the good news and it read: "Our army fought with the main force of the Qin army in Shaoliang, and the main force of the Qin army was defeated. We retreated to Hexi City and fought against the trapped beasts. Our army suffered a lot of losses. Please help me with three million troops and one million dan of rations. It is possible to capture Hexi and severely inflict heavy damage on the Qin army." Wei and Qin competed for Hexi. This battle determines the initiative of both sides and is the most critical moment. All the civil and military officials under the main hall looked forward to the victory in the hands of King Wei. If Qin was defeated, Wei's hegemony would be confirmed. Tu Su stood in front of the officials, looked up at King Wei and said, "Your Majesty." King Wei said, "Prime Minister, please take it and have a look." Tu Su looked at King Wei, who stepped down and handed the report into Tu Su's hand. After reading it, Tu Su handed the report to the officials for circulation. Tu Su stood behind King Wei and said, "I would like to congratulate you, your Majesty." King Wei turned to Tu Su and said worriedly: "What joy is there?" Tu Su said: "In the battle of Shaoliang, the main force of the Qin army has been lost. Qin's defeat has been decided." King Wei stood there and looked at Tu Su, and then at the officials standing behind Tu Su. These officials said: "What the Prime Minister said is reasonable." King Wei expressed his worries , said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and a victory or defeat cannot be said to be the final result. Furthermore, the Qin State has Lord Wu'an, the God of War. If Lord Wu'an leads the army, it will be difficult to capture Hexi." These officials also believed that Wei What the king said is reasonable. Qin should not be underestimated, so it is better to take a long-term approach. Tu Suli ignored all opinions and looked at the King of Wei and said: "I heard that the Qin State has mourned and a new king has just been established. There are still many things in the court that need to be dealt with by Lord Wu An. He has no time to take care of Hexi. Now it is time for the king to make a decision early. If we wait until the Qin State takes a breather, it will be really difficult to capture Hexi. Your Majesty, if things are too late, things will change!" King Wei then agreed and said, "Okay, we will send more troops to Hexi. This matter will be handled by the acting prime minister. "Anyone over the age of fifteen can be conscripted into the army, and an army of three million people will be recruited to set off to Hexi.
This time, Wei State has invested all its troops and national power, and is bound to win Hexi. The Battle of Hexi lasted three years, and finally a general offensive was launched. The army gathered outside the city. Zisang stood on the chariot and looked at the Hexi city tower. The Qin soldiers on the Hexi city tower drew their bows and arrows, hid behind the battlements, and prepared to fight. Zisang, who was standing on the chariot, pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed at Hexi City and shouted: "Attack the city." The halberds came out, and the armies on the left and right advanced slowly. When the army was very close to Hexi City, On top of the city tower, thousands of arrows were fired, falling like raindrops. The siege soldiers were struck by arrows and fell down one after another. The shield soldiers stepped forward to block the incoming arrow feathers, and the arrow feathers jingled against the shields. Some arrow feathers shot through the shield, and the soldiers hiding behind the shield were injured, making them unable to move forward. The army behind them pushed up the trebuchet, and the stone bullets were filled with gunpowder and thrown out. Stone bombs hit from high altitude, fell and exploded. The soldiers on the city were blown away and fell, and the stone bullets fell and destroyed the buildings on the city. Wood chips and rubble flew everywhere, and there were flowers in all directions. The Qin soldiers on the city were simply unable to resist. The army that captured the city began to attack the city, rolled out the siege tower, stretched out the ladder, and the soldiers stepped on the ladder to attack the tower and fight with the Qin army. The army from behind rushed towards the city. The Wei army attacking the city was several times more than the Qin army defending the city. They pushed out logs and knocked open the city gate, and the army rushed in. General Wang mistakenly saw the situation and had to abandon the city and flee. Hexi City was quickly captured.
