Chapter 354 Hu Jia is full of autumn colors
The Hangu Pass of the East Gate of Qin State was closed again. In the past few years, this powerful vassal state had sent troops from here dozens of times to invade other vassals. Every time the Hangu Pass closed, it would immediately make the surrounding vassals nervous. The wind and cranes were storms and the plants and trees were all soldiers.
It has to be admitted that the military strength of Qin has always been above other princes. As it gradually expands and becomes stronger, the map of kings and domines seems to be close.
However, things in the world are changeable and unpredictable. Who can imagine that in just over ten years, the situation in the world has changed, and suddenly a prince who is more powerful than Qin State appeared?!
The Qin army's several major failures in recent years have suffered extremely serious losses. In a sense, it has shaken the confidence of many Qin people. These effects are not only reflected in the military, but also in the hearts of people. With the spread of some prophecies, it is even more terrifying. Especially the sudden death of King Nie Feng of Qin at this time is undoubtedly a worse situation, and Qin's future is bleak!
As for the young man who had just ascended the throne in Feng'an City, his prestige is probably not convincing the public now. In the worried eyes of many knowledgeable people, he could clearly feel that his viciousness and lack of mind. He is probably far inferior to his father.
But no one dares to express such an idea easily. Being a loyal and honest minister can cost too much. Sometimes it is very likely to have to take your life. It is better to be vigilant and wait and see.
This feeling comes from a series of recent events inside and outside the Feng'an King City. Although the Qin people have always been fierce and aggressive and are used to life and death, the actions of the new king still make them feel inexplicably cold. Because, just as the Qin King Nie Feng's corpse was not cold, the proud disciple of Shen Jizi killed several brothers with iron and bloodless means. Among them is the eldest son Nie Yunfeng, who is a certain threat to him.
Although a king must have a hard heart if he wants to achieve great things, he will still make people shudder when he raises a butcher knife to his brothers like him. If the previous secret rumors said that Qin King Nie Feng died of a conspiracy, then the confusion that exists in the hearts of many subjects will be self-evident.
It was in such an atmosphere that news of Zhongzhou's defeat came. What was even more frustrating was that not only did the 100,000 troops lose their armor, but even the two famous Qin generals died and surrendered, which was extremely shocked.
The opponent's power has become so powerful! This shocked the Qin people. If the previous few failures can be attributed to various objective reasons, then the crushing defeat in the Battle of Zhongzhou made them have to admit that Zhao has far surpassed Qin, whether in the face of military power or comprehensive national strength. If they do not treat it with all their might, the next step will be a disaster that will be devastating to the country.
As a Qin man, of course he would not surrender casually. Shang Yunbai's surrender was regarded as a shame. No one would understand his painstaking efforts. Even if he was willing to bear the infamy and save the lives of tens of thousands of troops, even if he fought for the Qin people with his own strength to win a hopeful future, no one would understand him now. The former first general has become synonymous with shame among the people. In comparison, General Meng Jun and the 30,000 Meng family troops who died in battle for the country have become praised heroes.
Blood for blood, teeth for teeth for teeth! The ancestors of Qin State have developed since they were enfeoffed in this wasteland. The iron-blooded aura cultivated in this place will never be cut off. Only by destroying the opponents under their iron hooves and long swords can we know what true cruelty is. The murderous sins caused by the people of Zhao must be returned ten times. Only in order to revitalize the morale of Qin State!
The white banner that summoned the souls of the former kings inside and outside Feng'an City had not yet been removed, and the Qin soldiers summoned were already put on armor again. Everyone understands that a decisive battle that determines the fate of the country and personal destiny is inevitable. Perhaps only by doing all their strength can one become the ultimate winner.
The first order given by the King of Qin was to prepare for war. Nearly 300,000 troops in black armor gathered from different directions to Hangu Pass. They would conduct the final dispatch here, and then the tiger came out of the pass and attacked Zhao State.
Meng Wu, the general who commanded the 300,000 army, has become the focus of countless people at this moment. The general who went on a mourning battle was full of hatred. The Meng family has flourished with more than a hundred years of accumulation and has become the most promising family that supports the overall situation of Qin. The two brothers of the Meng family are even called "Shuangjun", which shows how powerful they are.
But now, the Meng brothers who were highly anticipated by Qin State have broken their wings. The brother Meng Jun died in the battlefield, which was not only a huge loss for the Meng family, but also an unbearable burden for Qin State. While the King of Qin ordered a grand memorial and granted a title, he also built a platform to worship the general and personally handed the general's seal to Meng Wu.
"This journey is thousands of miles, and I am willing to repay the country and the family!"
"Abide by the king's order! If the king does not destroy the state of Zhao, he will not return it... In the future, he will present the head of King Zhao to the king!"
The passionate Meng Wu left Feng'an City with supreme power. Wu Pingjun Wei Wuzi was also leaving with him. Needless to say, Wei Wuzi, who has always been called the national teacher's think tank, was entrusted by the King of Qin to follow the army throughout the whole process until the end of the war.
Behind them, in addition to the direct army of the Meng family army, there is a team of more than 20,000 barbarians. They are all warriors among the barbarians in the northwest and have been subdued by the Meng brothers for many years. If we talk about the cruelty and bravery on the battlefield, these guys are well-deserved murderers. This power of private cultivation was not easily used. But now in order to avenge the elder brothers, Meng Wu doesn't care about anything else. If he wants to kill Longcheng and Zhao's royal family in the end, he hopes that these barbarians will be able to complete it. Because their massacre methods will be extraordinary satisfactory!
"King! General Meng is very angry... You have given him so much power, but don't make it too big to deal with it in the end!"
On the top of Feng'an City, he watched the smoke and dust of the troops leaving until they gradually disappeared into the distance. Nie Wushuang heard someone's worried reminder in his ears, and narrowed his eyes and shook his head gently.
"The first task now is to defeat Zhao State, and there is no need to say anything else. The Meng brothers have ambitions, but at the same time they also have abilities that others do not have. If he can win this time, I will naturally be rewarded. If even he is defeated... Humph!"
Everyone around them had a cold war. They heard a strong murderous aura from the words of the King of Qin. Although the person who had just ascended the throne was not old, the murderous aura that occasionally appeared in his eyes was simply afraid to look at him.
The blood on Feng'an City Street has dried up, and the dead have died forever, and they can no longer see what happens after death. The living people are either eagerly looking forward to making new achievements, or are worried about waiting for an unpredictable future. People are mixed, who can truly know the gains and losses?
"The Hu people in the north... are there any latest news?"
After a long silence, Nie Wushuang, wearing a crown, with a look back and asked thoughtfully. Someone around him had already answered respectfully.
"Report to the king! Gou Mieshi will convey information from the north at any time. After receiving the king's call, King Hu has already formed a large army of 150,000 and went on an expedition in person, leading his royal court to the south together. If calculated according to the itinerary, Hu Qi should step out of the grassland border and arrive near Yanshan!"
"Very good! Very good... Haha! Chu Jiangmian, aren't you capable? Now it's time to show your true abilities. The Hu people have always had a deep feud with Zhao State. If they step through Yanshan and break through the pass, they will surely bring an extraordinary surprise! Hahaha!"
At the end, Nie Wushuang finally couldn't hide his complacency and burst into laughter! Although the alliance with the Hu people seemed to be suspected of attracting wolves into the house, he didn't care about these things at this moment. Zhao State has become a big trouble, and Chu Jiangmian is even more unforgettable to hate him. No matter what kind of power he uses, as long as he can eliminate the biggest enemy in his life, he will do it at any cost.
Seducing the cruel Hu people to poison the people of the Central Plains. This is ultimately different from the ideas held by many people. Among the followers around, some of them wanted to say something, but were secretly pulled by other companions and finally closed their mouths. The way of acting is definitely different from that of the previous kings, so don’t make things boring.
In fact, in the hearts of more Qin people, they still have certain confidence in their Qin soldiers. The strength of the 300,000 army is enough to overthrow a country. If Qin and Zhao want to fight to the final decisive battle, it is still unknown who will win!
The army was dispatched and the conquests were everywhere. Just as the Qin army gradually gathered at Hangu Pass, on the north side of Yanshan, thousands of miles away, Hu Wang Mo Ke was holding a spear and stopping the steps of thousands of troops behind him. He looked carefully at the endless passes in the distance from a high place, and the only remaining eye was shining with a cold light.
"Is the sphere of influence of King Zhao ahead?"
"That's it! King Mo Ke, who stepped across Yanshan Mountain, is the land of Yanzhao, and now everything there has been belonging to King Zhao Chujiangmian."
