But after all, we have to face the two major military powers Qin and Wei at the same time, and the disparity in strength is too great. Moreover, in order to conquer Korea, Xiang Shaolong deployed many spies, or special forces, in advance to infiltrate the enemy city, disrupt the order in the city from within during the siege, and even carry out beheading operations, fully displaying the essence of special operations.
The special forces made great contributions to this war.
In less than three months, they reached Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. Originally, Xinzheng was closer to Wei, but the Qin army advanced too fast and captured Xinzheng before Wei, capturing the King of Han and members of the royal family, including Han Fei.
At least Xiang Shaolong's westward advance has slowed down. At this time, Qin has already captured two-thirds of South Korea's territory. As an ally, it must leave some territory for Wei.
The King of Han was captured and the army was demoralized. The Qin army finally joined forces with the Wei army west of Xinzheng.
Without Lord Xinling, Lord Longyang led the Wei army this time.
Long Yangjun was very depressed. He did not expect that the Qin army attacked so fast. The Wei army spent a lot of effort and suffered huge losses in order to seize the territory, but still only got one-third of the Korean territory. Qin took the lion's share, and was also alarmed by the Qin army's combat effectiveness.
At this time, the world was in shock, but before the countries could react, the war was over.
Among them, only Zhao State was the most active in rescuing because the queen was Korean, but before it was ready, South Korea was already destroyed.
Xiang Shaolong has always wanted to adjust Qin's military merit system. This system that only recognizes heads is extremely detrimental to the great cause of future unification. Therefore, this war did not involve the killing of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands like before, and the massacre of civilians was not allowed.
Xiang Shaolong brought a message to Zhao Mu that if Zhao attacked Wei, Qin did not need to help Wei.
But the King of Han was in the hands of Qin, so he had to attack Qin if he wanted to, but Zhao really didn't have the courage to attack Qin alone.
Today's Eastern countries, without Lord Xinling, really lack a person with charisma.
As soon as Lord Xinling of Wei State left, Lord Longyang gained power and gained huge profits from Qin State. He also conspired with Qin State to destroy Han and betrayed the eastern countries. Zhao State Zhao Mu came to power, fighting internally and externally, and had relations with Qin. Common interests, and at the same time preventing the Huns from invading the border, are inherently deficient; Chun Shen Jun has always kept a low profile. Although he has a huge influence in Chu State, he has little impact on other countries. Ding Tian can influence Zhao Mu based on the father-son relationship. Now that Li Yuan has risen, it is He was his number one enemy; since King Jian of Qi succeeded to the throne, Tian Dan left Qi and went to Zhao, and finally died of old age in Zhao (about 260 BC), there was no one with any charisma in Qi. Being adjacent to the Qin State, there is no personal pain, so it is not active; the Yan State is weak, rejects the Xiongnu in the north, has no time to take care of itself, and is not taken seriously by other powerful countries.
Now that South Korea's demise is a foregone conclusion, looking around, everyone is helpless.
Xiang Shaolong is not interested in King Han, but he is very interested in Han Fei.
Han Fei was the son of King Han (Henghui). He studied under Xunzi and was a classmate of Li Si. He was a master of legalism and an outstanding thinker, philosopher, and essayist. He has always wanted to implement reforms in South Korea, but he failed to get the attention of the King of Korea.
Xiang Shaolong summoned Han Fei alone. Xiang Shaolong, who is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, really didn't expect that Han Fei, who is famous all over the world, is really ugly, but he still said politely: "I've heard your name for a long time, please take a seat."
Han Fei gave a dull bow and said: "I've seen... I've seen... the general, the man who... has ruined his country, I don't... dare to take... the general seriously." Unexpectedly, this famous official in the world, who was literary and elegant, stuttered.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Young Master's masterpiece is thought-provoking, but it cannot be reused in Korea. I know that Young Master loves Korea deeply, but the general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. The Zheng Kingdom was not destroyed by Han. Now it is time to unify. Now Korea has been destroyed, and our country of Qin attaches great importance to the rule of law, which is a good place for the young master to show his talents. Your classmate Li Si, a native of Chu, now exercises the power of the left prime minister for me. If the young master is determined to become an official in our great Qin, he will definitely If you can display your ambitions, your status will be no less than that of Li Si. If the young master hates me for destroying Korea in the Qin Dynasty and does not want to serve as an official, then he can concentrate on writing books and make a promise. The same will be passed down through the ages, and I, Xiang Shaolong, will definitely protect the young master."
Xiang Shaolong knew that after entering the Qin Dynasty, Han Fei cherished his homeland and was not reused. He also attracted jealousy and was poisoned to death in prison.
Xiang Shaolong cherishes his talent and can't bear for everyone of this generation to end up like this. Now there is no one in South Korea. It would be best if he could do his best to help the Qin State, or else let him spend his life in peace and leave more masterpieces that will be handed down for generations. .
Han Fei did not expect Xiang Shaolong to be so friendly. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, General... General... for your love!"
Xiang Shaolong saw that he was clumsy and confused, so he had no intention of talking to him. He just waved his hand and said: "Young master, don't be anxious, you can think about it slowly. When we get to Xianyang, we will have plenty of time to communicate."
The King of Qin established Yingchuan County in Han, and Xiang Shaolong returned to the court with his troops.
The King of Qin personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet the victorious soldiers at the gate of Xianyang City.
The Qin State valued military merit the most. After Korea was destroyed, only six of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were left. This was of far-reaching significance. Naturally, the soldiers who went on the expedition were greatly rewarded.
Xiang Shaolong made the most of his achievements, from luring Wei to send troops, to dividing the kingdoms, and finally formulating a special battle plan and advancing rapidly, allowing Qin to gain twice the land of Wei, and he was named a general. The original Qin army only had one general, Duke He. Now, at the age of less than thirty, Xiang Shaolong has become the top boss in the army and also serves as the left prime minister.
Wang Jian, Meng Ao, and An Guxi were all named generals. Other generals were promoted. Wang Ben and Meng Tian also entered the army and became junior generals.
Lu Buwei saw that Xiang Shaolong's rise was unstoppable. As his status became higher and higher, Guan Zhongxie's chances of challenging him became slimmer and slimmer, and he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart. He summoned Mo Ao and Guan Zhongxie to discuss countermeasures.
Mo Ao said: "Xiang Shaolong's identity is indeed difficult to challenge. However, Xiang Shaolong once killed a person named Lian Jin, who was the evil junior brother. His clan brother Lian Jiao is now also in the Prime Minister's Mansion, seeking revenge. It’s a good excuse, otherwise it’s an assassination attempt.”
The current Lu Buwei is not as powerful as the real history, because the King of Qin is not dead and can always suppress Lu Buwei, and Xiang Shaolong is still restrained, and the military still rejects him, so he has not yet become big enough to dare to assassinate Xiang Shaolong. degree. Now he can only recruit a wide range of followers, gradually seize power to enhance his strength, compile "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" to earn fame and expand his influence.
Lu Buwei shook his head and said: "The assassination is too big and undesirable. Revenge, given his status, cannot be accepted, and there is nothing we can do."
Mo Ao said: "Qin people love martial arts and respect the strong the most. His status today is also a constraint for him. Find an opportunity that he cannot refuse and propose a martial arts contest, and make him think that the contest is for revenge. It also makes him relax his guard.”
Lu Buwei sighed: "Oh! It's difficult! It's difficult! It's difficult!"
During this period, Ji Yanran lived in the General's Mansion and actually never left. She and Qin Qing also had a pleasant conversation.
This time, Xiang Shaolong invited classmates Han Fei and Li Si to the General's Mansion. Ji Yanran and Qin Qing immediately turned into Han Fei's crushes and admired Han Fei very much, making Xiang Shaolong very jealous and Li Si jealous. . Han Fei is definitely the superstar in the hearts of intellectuals of this era.
Ji Yanran said to Han Fei: "Mr.'s theory of governing the country by combining 'law', 'skill' and 'power' proposed that 'when the world changes, things will change, and things must change.' He admired the rule of law and even made the shocking statement that 'the king who breaks the law is as guilty as the common people'."
Han Fei was also shocked when he heard Ji Yanran's words and said: "General Xiang... Xiang is more bold than... Han... Han Fei. I admire... I admire him."
Li Si's eyes also flashed, thoughtfully.
Qin Qing also said: "I didn't expect that my husband would have such radical ideas. Why didn't he tell me?"
Xiang Shaolong listened to the slightly jealous words and said quickly: "What I said is all nonsense. When I arrived in Daliang, I just went to visit Ji Cainv. But Ji Cainv read a lot of books and quoted scriptures, but I couldn't understand it. I was forced to I have no choice but to talk nonsense."
Ji Yanran said: "Sister Qing, General Xiang is not just talking nonsense. I benefited a lot from what General Xiang said. He also said that 'practice is the only criterion for testing truth', which made me travel more." , you invited me to come to Qin State, so I made this trip to Xianyang."
Qin Qing became even more jealous after hearing this, and said, "What else does your husband have to say?"
Xiang Shaolong immediately shook his head and said: "I don't have any high opinions or practice. I stayed at home with you every day in Xianyang and did nothing. You know that Brother Li helped me with everything I do as the left prime minister." He said pointing at Li Si.
Qin Qing said angrily: "Am I delaying your work?"
Xiang Shaolong waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't have much ability and I'm afraid that I won't do well, so I asked Brother Li to do it for me."
Ji Yanran smiled and said, "Are you saying that Sister Qing has a bad taste? She favors a person with little ability."
Xiang Shaolong became more and more confused as he talked. Seeing how he was at a loss for Qin Qing, everyone laughed.
Qin Qing was both funny and touched at the same time. His casual words made Xiang Shaolong so nervous. This showed his deep love and respect for her.
Qin Qing's words were out of habit. Xiang Shaolong didn't have any chauvinism at all. He doted on his women to the heavens and never tired of being played around by three beauties. Qin Qing just acted like a spoiled child out of habit.
In fact, women in this era don't think it's a problem for men to be flirty, so Xiang Shaolong married Qin Qing and got the support of Wu Tingfang and Shu'er.
Qin Qing said softly: "Seeing that you teach the prince, I have also been inspired a lot. As the prince's tutor, you and I have the responsibility to teach the prince. This way of governing the country is extremely profound, and everyone is arguing endlessly. Today it happens to be Han Fei Young Master, Mr. Li Si is here, how can we miss this good opportunity for discussion?"
