The four countries attacked Qin, and the Qin people opened and closed the door to meet the enemy. All the armies of the four countries could not enter. As the battle reports from all parties gathered, the war became completely stalemate for a while.
Hearing that the Wu army had suffered a new defeat, the coalition forces at Shanyuguan did not dare to attack the pass easily again.
The war, from a fierce fight at the beginning, evolved into a long-term confrontation at the end.
As time goes by, there is no doubt that the Four-Nation Alliance is on the verge of disbandment.
More than two months later, because Ningyang could not break through, the battle to attack Qin was in a long-term stalemate. The coalition forces had no choice but to withdraw.
The four-nation alliance was declared to be disintegrated.
The coalition forces withdrew, and the Qin army cheered in Shanyu Pass.
In this war, Qin had no choice but to fight hard in order to protect himself. It was so difficult. He faced the front soldiers of the four countries, but in the end, he managed to hold on!
It is conceivable that the officers and men above and below could not be excited!
Peng Shuang even said: "My lord! The Four Kingdoms' attack on Qin this time was all planned by the King of Jin. In the opinion of the last general, the Four Kingdoms have retreated. We might as well rush out of Shanyu Pass and chase the Jin army first!"
"No!" As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Wenruo said quickly: "General, you are too impulsive. In this battle, it is not easy for our army to retreat from the four kingdoms. Now, my lord should concentrate on managing Qin and Shu. Work hard, and in the future, we won’t talk about Dongchu.”
"Okay, Lord Shangguan is right, we have recorded this revenge! But now, it is not the time for revenge!"
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he said to Lin Chu: "Send a letter to Xia Ping immediately and ask him to meet me in Qinzhou."
"No!" the latter responded immediately.
The armies of the four countries left completely, and Xiao Yuan also began to return to Qinzhou.
A few days later, Qinzhou Prefect’s Mansion.
Civil and military officials gathered together and were discussing matters in the hall.
Liu Yuzhi told Xiao Yuan in detail about the money, food and military equipment consumed by Qin in this battle.
Liu Changqing reported in detail the military exploits of generals at all levels and soldiers of various ministries.
Other generals also reported some battle incidents.
After all these were discussed, Xiao Yuan first arranged a large number of bamboo slips on the table, and then said: "The victory of this battle is all due to the blood of our Qin army soldiers! They have contributed indispensably to protecting the Qin land! Therefore! I intend to reward the three armies tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Ping walked in quickly. As soon as he entered the hall, he clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "My lord! The general has fulfilled his mission! He defended Ningyang for my lord!"
His laughter was out of joy, and there was a reason for his joy.
Seeing that it was him, Xiao Yuan also stood up, greeted him personally, patted his shoulder and said: "Okay! Okay! In this battle, the general will defend Ningyang with 30,000 soldiers! Force the Wu army to retreat, if there is no General, the land of Qin is in danger! You should take the first place!"
"Thank you, Lord!" Xia Ping shouted again.
"Enter the queue!" Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand to the side.
"Yes!" Xia Ping immediately clasped his fists, turned around and walked into the train on the left.
Next, Xiao Yuan made a certain post-war summary on the four kingdoms' attack on Qin.
After some things were settled, he sent everyone away.
That night, with the bright moon in the sky, Xiao Yuan was in the military camp and began to reward the three armies.
Directly above the main seat, Xiao Yuan stood holding a wine bowl.
On both sides below, there were generals of all levels sitting, and below that, there were countless soldiers. When they saw him standing up, everyone also stood up, holding wine bowls in their hands.
"Soldiers! Without your hard work! Where would the Qin Dynasty be today!"
"Without you! The foreign tribes from Xirong would have broken through the barrier long ago!"
"Without you! How could we defeat the powerful enemies from the four countries!"
"You have made outstanding contributions! How much blood you have shed to protect Qin!"
"You all! You are all our great warriors of Great Qin!"
"I'm here to give you a toast!"
"Done!"
He spoke loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his wine bowl, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Following his movements, everyone below said in unison:
"Together we respect our lord——"
This banquet was very large in scale and included the entire army. Many generals and soldiers were a little drunk because the war had just ended and they were commemorating their comrades who died in the battle.
When Xiao Yuan was inspecting the military camp and having a drink with the soldiers below, one of the lowest-ranking soldiers staggered over.
He was still holding a wine bowl in his hand. When he approached Xiao Yuan, he said slurred words due to his drunkenness: "Master... Lord, we won this battle... The villain's brother also died on the battlefield... …He is a hero…”
As he spoke, the soldier's eyes were slightly red.
Xiao Yuan was emotionally touched by this, and said with slightly red eyes: "Yes, yes, our officers and soldiers of the Qin army are all heroes. They shed their blood. Qin will not forget them! I will not forget them either!" "
"My lord... my lord, my dear, can I offer you a toast..."
"Drink!" Although he was the lowest level pawn, Xiao Yuan did not hesitate at all.
On this day, Xiao Yuan was also drunk.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that he woke up in a daze.
But just after he finished washing, Shangguan Wenruo came to see him.
"Let him come in." Xiao Yuan wiped the water stains on his hands.
Not long after, Shangguan Wenruo entered. He first bent down and held his hands in his hands, giving a deep salute. Then, seeing Xiao Yuan's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "My lord, are you not in good spirits?"
"It's okay, you can tell me what's going on." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.
"Oh." Shangguan Wenruo responded, and continued: "In this battle, our army's generals at all levels and even the soldiers under their command have many military exploits, especially generals like Lian Xiao and Xia Ping. I don't know what my lord is planning. "
It turned out that this was the case. Xiao Yuan glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Shangguan Wenruo thought for a while and said: "In terms of rewards for merit, I'm afraid there may be some problems with my lord's current official position. It's better to wait until he becomes king."
He was right. Some people were bound to be knighted for their military exploits. How could the Qin Prefect have this right?
After Xiao Yuan thought deeply, he said: "Okay, let's do this for now. Also, regarding the restructuring of counties and counties, please give me an official document as soon as possible."
"Yes." Shangguan Wenruo bowed slightly.
After the four kingdoms attacked Qin, Qin's position was firmly established and it became one of the princes of the world.
At the same time, the imperial capital.
In the court meeting hall, Prime Minister Dong Hua came out and said:
"Your Majesty, according to reports, the four countries allied themselves to attack Qin, but all have been defeated. Now, they have all withdrawn."
"What did you say!?" Shang Rui was shocked when he heard this. His eyes widened and he said in disbelief:
"Then the four kingdoms attacked Qin, but Qin was not destroyed!?"
"This... yes, Qin Lord Xiao Yuan refused to seek peace, led the Qin army to switch, fought... and defeated the coalition..."
"This, this, this! How is this possible!" Shang Rui said repeatedly.
At this time, Dong Hua said again: "In addition, according to the news from Qinzhou, the Lord of Qin, Xiao Yuan, has already begun to build a palace. He already has the intention of becoming the king. I don't know what your Majesty's plans are."
