As time went by, the shouts of death on the battlefield became smaller and smaller.
But the Qin army was still resisting desperately, shouting, "Jiujiu, old Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together..." No one knelt down and surrendered.
"Even if I die, I will take you on the road with me." Qiang Xuan's eyes were blood red, and his whole body exuded wanton madness. He completely gave up his defense and allowed Le Cheng's sword to slash at his body. At the same time, he aimed at Le Cheng's heart. Cut it off and fight for your life.
"What a madman." Le Cheng quickly retreated to avoid Qiang Su's attack. The three Jins have gained an overall advantage. When Mangmao and Jia Yan come around, three of them will fight one, and Qiang Yu will definitely die.
At this time, being injured by Qiangxu in exchange for injury is not a big loss.
"Poof!" Qiang Yu's body flew backwards, and a scar of more than a foot long and visible bone appeared on his chest. If Le Cheng hadn't stepped back and regained some of his strength, this blow would have probably killed Qiang Yu, but Le Cheng Will also die in battle.
"Go to hell." Qiang Yu climbed up again, bursting with astonishing power from all over his body, and rushed towards Le Cheng crazily.
"Don't get close." Le Cheng quickly scolded the soldiers who wanted to get closer. Although everyone could kill Qiang Fu together, Qiang Fu would also kill some soldiers and increase unnecessary casualties.
"Qiang Su's strength seems to have become stronger again." Jia Yan and Feng Quji walked down the mountain and looked at Qiang Su with some surprise.
"Don't hold back, the Qin army's pursuers will be here soon." Feng Quji said quickly, taking back all the talents originally used to suppress the Qin army, and directly put it on Qiang He.
Qiang Yu suddenly felt as if someone had strangled his neck. A mouthful of blood spurted on Le Cheng, and his breath dropped like a cliff.
"Okay." Jia Yan did not hesitate and stepped forward to besiege Qiang Yu together with Le Cheng.
"Damn it." Qiang Yu stared at Feng Quji with fierce eyes, as if he wanted to swallow Feng Quji alive.
Feng Quji did not dodge and stared at Qiang Su closely.
"Bang!" At this time, a muffled sound sounded, and Qiang Xu's body fell straight to the ground. Le Cheng slowly put away his sword, "Why are you staring? If you dare to stare again, I will knock your eyes out."
"Kill without mercy, leave no one behind." Immediately afterwards, Le Cheng's cold eyes swept across the battlefield. Since the Qin army was unwilling to surrender, there was no need for him to pretend to be compassionate and persuade them to surrender.
Soon, no Qin army stood up on the battlefield.
"Let's go." Le Cheng looked back and led the army to quickly escape in the direction of Yique.
All that was left on the battlefield was a mess, with corpses and blood all over the ground.
The Three Jin Dynasties did not clean the battlefield. Once they arrived, it was a waste of time. The Qin army's infantry might arrive at any time. Secondly, these corpses can be used to delay the Qin army's pursuit.
When the Qin army saw so many cavalry dead in battle, they would inevitably dedicate some of their troops to clean up the battlefield and reduce the pressure on the three Jin Dynasties.
From behind, Wang Hao activated the blast formation to the extreme, just to go faster, faster.
He could already sense the violent battle fluctuations coming from the front, but he didn't know how the battle was going.
"Damn Zhao State, damned Three Jins!" Soon, Wang Hao rushed to the valley, looking at the mess everywhere, his whole body trembling slightly.
South Korea and Wei definitely do not have such courage, it must be Zhao!
"Dead soldiers, I, Wang Lu, swear that I will avenge you in my lifetime. Le Cheng, Jia Yan... just wait." Wang Lu murmured, raised his head and looked in the direction of Yique, "Leave a thousand People clean up the battlefield, and the rest are with me and continue chasing."
…
"General, the army sent me back to report that we have captured Yique. General, please lead the army to Yique as soon as possible." When Li Hao saw Le Cheng, he quickly got off his horse and said with fists in his hands.
"Okay, okay. We completely wiped out a legion of the Qin State here, and Li Si and Bao Luan also captured Yique. It's really a double happiness." Le Cheng said excitedly.
The road ahead is clear, and the Qin army in the rear is no longer a concern.
If the Qin army continued to pursue, he would not mind fighting the Qin army at Yique Pass.
"By the way, general, we met a Qin Army messenger on the way here and killed him. This was found on his body." Li Hao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Le Cheng.
"This Qin State is stingy. Paper is basically universal now. In order to save money, Qin State still uses bamboo slips for correspondence. It's not too troublesome." Le Cheng said cursing as he opened the bamboo slips.
Now the price of paper has completely dropped. Although it is still very expensive for ordinary people, it is affordable for most readers.
Any rich man with some wealth would not use paper to write words. That is to say, the whole Qin State still used backward bamboo slips in order to show the spirit of hard work and honest government.
"As expected, the Qin Army sent someone to notify Yique to be on tight guard. Fortunately, our army captured Yique one step ahead." After reading the letter, Le Cheng felt very happy. If Li Si hadn't realized this and led his army to Yique.
Once the Yique guard general receives the order and increases his vigilance, it will be completely impossible for the three Jin Dynasties to capture Yique with the pursuit of troops in the rear.
In the end, they will be attacked by the Qin army from front to back until the whole army is annihilated.
On the afternoon of the third day, Sanjin, who had been running all the way, finally arrived at Yique.
"General Wang Lu, thank you for sending me all the way. We have arrived at Yique, you can go back." Standing in front of the gate of Yique City, Lecheng turned around and shouted loudly at the Qin army behind him, then turned and entered Yique. Que.
At this moment, Wang Hao's face was darker than the bottom of the pot. His clenched fists and rising and falling chest revealed his extremely angry heart.
Seeing the success of the villain Le Cheng, he wanted to launch an attack at all costs, but as the leader of an army, he needed to be responsible for the entire army.
No matter what situation he encounters, he must restrain his inner anger and calmly think about gains and losses.
More than 20,000 troops from the Three Jin Dynasties have entered Yique. Even if Qin mobilized ten times the army, it would not be possible to break through Yique in a short time.
Moreover, it is impossible for Qin to overwhelm an army of 200,000 for the sake of Yique, whose strategic value is not top-notch.
"Retreat!" Finally, Wang Hao reluctantly ordered the withdrawal.
"As expected of Wang Lu, his patience alone exceeds that of most people in the world." Feng Quji stood on the city wall, his eyes falling on Wang Lu.
A few years ago, his father Feng Ting and Lian Po were defeated by Wang Lu.
This time, he was chased all the way from the royal city by Zhang Ruo and Wang Lu.
Next time, he must let Wang Lu have a taste of this.
"We won! We won!" The soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasties shouted crazily after receiving the news that the Qin army had withdrawn.
"We can finally return to China." Le Cheng sat on the city wall and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Si and Feng Quji looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
Their political sensitivity is far greater than that of Lecheng.
They understood that Zhao Jun was still far from returning home.
If you don’t carry Jiuding, you can indeed return home.
But with Jiuding, how could Han Wei easily let them return home.
This is the Jiuding that symbolizes destiny!
…
The royal city was originally the residence of the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it had been requisitioned by Zhang Ruo at this time.
As for the palace, Zhang Ruo did not dare to live in it. Although the Western Zhou Kingdom had been destroyed, the palace belonged to King Qin, although King Qin might never live there once in his life.
The originally grand room had become devastated and miserable. Everything that could be smashed was smashed, including windows and doors.
Zhang Nuo's scarlet eyes flashed with anger and wildness. He looked left and right, looking for anything that could be destroyed to vent his inner anger and anxiety.
"A bunch of rubbish, a bunch of rubbish, they actually allowed Zhao Jun to escape." Zhang Ruo cursed loudly, and all his calmness and thoughtfulness disappeared.
"Once the king learns about this, I will be punished even if I capture the royal city, and my title may even be lowered. Zhao Guo won't let me have an easy time, and I, Zhang Ruo, can't let you go," Zhang Ruo murmured.
He knew very well that King Qin valued Jiuding, which symbolized Qin's destiny.
And the disappearance of Jiuding means that the destiny belonging to Qin has been taken away.
Not to mention one Western Zhou Kingdom, even ten Western Zhou Kingdoms tied together are not as significant as Jiuding to Qin.
"There is still a chance. As long as Jiuding has not arrived in Zhao State, there is still a chance. Come." Zhang Ruo shouted loudly.
"General." Soon, two guards came in from outside. They lowered their heads and clasped their fists, with calm expressions on their faces, as if they had not seen the mess in the room.
"Immediately send people to Korea and Wei to spread the news, saying that Jiuding is in the Zhao army. Whichever country gets Jiuding can dominate the world." Zhang Ruo snorted coldly, "I want to see how you return to Zhao. .”
He doesn't believe that South Korea and Wei are not greedy or moved when they see Jiuding. They didn't have the chance before, but now Jiuding is right in front of him, and he can reach out and touch it. I, Zhang Ruo, don't believe that you can hold back.
There is also the Chu State in the south, which dared to aspire to the Central Plains hundreds of years ago. Doesn't it covet Jiuding?
If you, the State of Zhao, want to get Jiuding, you have to risk breaking up with Han, Wei and Chu, or even going to war.
Qin State can use this opportunity to repair its relationship with Han, Wei and Chu, and even form an alliance with them to jointly attack Zhao State.
"If this matter can be accomplished, I will not only have no fault, but also merit." Zhang Ruo became more and more excited as he thought about it, and said loudly, "Bring the bamboo slips and pen over here immediately."
"No." Soon, the bamboo slips and pen and ink were brought over.
Zhang Ruo glanced at the garbage on the floor, walked to the next room, and quickly recounted the whole thing.
It's just that he failed to retain the Three Jin Dynasty, and instead took the initiative to let go of the Three Jin Dynasty's army.
He also wrote: I didn't know the plan of the king and Lord Wu'an, so I took the initiative to let the three Jin go and asked the king to punish them. However, I think it would be more beneficial to Qin to let go of the three Jin armies.
The total army of the Three Jin Dynasties is only 30,000. Even if they are all killed, another 30,000 can be recruited soon, which will not cause any damage to the Three Jins.
And if the army of the three Jin Dynasties is allowed to leave the royal city with Jiuding, the three Jin Dynasties will inevitably have civil strife due to the fight for Jiuding.
In recent years, the three Jin Dynasties have formed an alliance, making it impossible for our army to move eastward.
If there is civil strife in the three Jins, our Qin State can go east out of the three Jins and recapture the Jiuding. It is far beyond the ability to kill two or thirty thousand troops and the Jiuding.
This is my humble opinion, I hope your Majesty will think again.
Due to time constraints, I failed to report to the king in time, and I hope the king will punish me.
Soon, a brand new story was born in Zhang Ruo's hands.
It has to be said that if Zhang Ruo had thought of this plan in advance and reported it to Qin Wangji, with Qin Wangji's wisdom and courage, he would have been very likely to agree.
No matter how great the significance of Jiuding is, it is just a dead object.
Obtaining Jiuding will not allow Qin to dominate the world.
But if the alliance of the Three Jins is broken and the door for Qin to go out from the east is opened, Qin will most likely be able to dominate the world.
But now...as long as Qin Wangji is not a fool, it is impossible to believe Zhang Ruo's words.
Bai Qi and Wang Lu had already told the King of Qin completely about the whole incident. Even without these two people and the Xuandiao Division, they would not give you the face of Zhang Ruo.
Of course, Zhang Ruo did not do it to fool Qin Wangji, but to show his value and ability.
Anyone who is not a fool knows which one is more important: a plan or the person who came up with it.
Zhang Ruo wanted to tell Qin Wangji that he was the one who came up with this plan, and that the situation was not too bad and there was still a chance to save it.
Otherwise, King Qin's thunder would strike down in anger, and even he would not be able to bear it.
"No." The guard quickly collected the letter and rushed towards Xianyang without stopping.
…
Since the opening of the Hexi Corridor, Xianyang, a city that was once not that big in the Central Plains, seems to have been injected with new vitality. It takes on a new look every day, like a dragon waking up in the East, growing into the world at an alarming rate. One of the most prosperous cities.
Along the winding city wall, rows of houses extend out in an orderly manner. They are like stars, shining in the sunlight.
Viewed from a distance, the entire Xianyang City merges with the heaven and earth, completely natural, with no boundaries visible.
The streets of Xianyang are crowded with merchants and pedestrians. People from all over the world exchange information and bring anecdotes from all over the world.
Various ideas and cultures collided and exchanged here. They brought the civilizational ideas of Qin and China to the West, and brought Western civilization and ideas to China.
From time to time, the sound of caravans recruiting people sounded, and the formed caravans walked westward amidst the ringing of bells. At the same time, caravans also entered Xianyang one after another.
Unlike a few years ago when it tried its best to suppress merchants, the Qin State today is very friendly to these merchants.
Because these businessmen can bring them extremely high taxes, especially the taxes in the Hexi Corridor, which have exceeded the salt tax and are second only to the agricultural tax.
More importantly, the Hexi Corridor did not harm the interests of anyone in the Qin State, but instead benefited most people.
Therefore, this has become one of the few industries in Qin that everyone supports.
The former Xianyang City has been transformed into an inner city, so that from a distance, the entire Xianyang City has no city walls at all.
Ministers have written to the King of Qin several times, requesting the imperial court to expand Xianyang City.
After all, our majestic Qin State, one of the largest countries in the world, and we have no money, how could we not even be able to build a city wall?
However, they were all rejected by Qin Wangji, who wanted to use all his money for external expansion.
There is nothing to expand in Xianyang.
After conquering the world, it will not be too late to expand.
