Chapter 1248 The Disaster of the Warring States Period (End) Qin Destroyed the Six Kingdoms
"Opening his mouth to ask for ten thousand gold? This man seems to be an extraordinary person." Ying Zheng was also surprised. Ten thousand gold is extraordinary. The Qin State's million-strong army only received ten thousand gold a year. A carver actually carved a piece of jade and asked for ten thousand gold. Ten thousand gold.
Doctor Xing coughed slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed. After all, he also knew that this seemed a bit unreliable. After all, ten thousand gold was not a small amount, but he seemed to think that the King of Qin and the civil and military officials had misunderstood what he meant.
"Ahem. So that the king knows that it is not ten thousand gold, but the starting price is ten thousand gold. Generally, the best jade costs ten thousand gold, but the sacred jade like He's Bi is estimated to start at one hundred thousand gold." Doctor Xing. It was also very embarrassing, but he risked his life for the title. He could only pray that the sculptor in the city really had two brushes.
"The lion opened his mouth. This person must be here for He's Bi. Your Majesty, please think twice. Furthermore, I have someone to recommend. This person is my senior brother, and he also studied under Gui Guzi, and this person is here. In the capital, they are also the king's ministers." When Li Si heard that he wanted to start with one hundred thousand gold, he immediately objected.
Ten thousand gold is the annual military salary for an army of one million, while one hundred thousand gold is the annual military salary for an army of ten million. This is not a small amount, but an astronomical figure.
Doctor Xing saw Li Si standing up and shook his head helplessly. He also knew that the man's asking price seemed too high and simply outrageous. However, that man also gave money to stubborn people. Even if no one went to carve jade from him, He was not in any hurry and did not lower the price.
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. There were actually Taoists among his ministers. But at this time, Ying Zheng also remembered that Guiguzi was known as the ancestor of Wang Chan in Taoism, also known as the ancestor of Xuanweizi. Li Si studied in Zongheng Thirteen Saying this does not mean that other disciples are also learning the Zongheng Thirteen Theory.
"Which Qing family is it? Prime Minister, tell me quickly." Ying Zheng asked Li Si anxiously. After all, if his ministers were among the gods, wouldn't it mean that he could also become immortals in the future? In this way, he could also live forever. .
"This man's name is Xu Fu, and he is also a disciple of Guiguzi's master. He is now serving as a lower official in the capital, managing the streets of the capital." Li Si immediately said with a thought in his heart, if Xu Fu can come to the court, the future of the court will be better. They have greater rights above the church.
"Your Majesty, this servant also knows that Xu Fu is a street clerk in Dongcheng. He is probably over seventy years old now. It is rumored that he studied under Gui Guzi, a great sage. Unexpectedly, he is actually a brother of the same disciple as the Prime Minister." A eunuch behind Zheng said sharply.
"In this case, Zhao Gao, please go out of the palace and invite Xu Fu to the palace. I also want to see the abilities of Guiguzi's Taoist disciples." Ying Zheng gave the order, and the eunuch named Zhao Gao made a promise. Just left.
The strange person that Dr. Xing mentioned about charging a very high price was also ignored. After all, there are already people who don't want money, so who would ask for money?
In the Yan Kingdom, Bai Qi led a large army into the Yan Kingdom. However, at this time, the Yan Kingdom had been devastated by the war, and many cities had been changed beyond recognition. Bai Qi came all the way to the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
At this time, Duke Yan was standing on the city gate, surrounded by princes and ministers. After all, it was Bai Qi who saved the Yan State. They respected Confucianism, so they naturally had to practice gratitude. This was to welcome Bai Qi on the city gate. The arrival of the rise.
"Is this General Bai Qi of Qin below?" Duke Yan looked down and shouted loudly. Bai Qi's army was less than 200 steps away from the city wall. Even if Duke Yan's voice was not very loud, Bai Qi could hear it.
At this time, Bai Qi stood on the four-wheel drive chariot, looked at the city wall, and saw Duke Yan, with a smile in his eyes. Duke Yan really respected Confucianism. He was not wrong. It seems that he The generalissimo is determined.
"It is Bai Qi, the last general, who has met the Duke of Yan." Bai Qi raised his voice and raised his fists from below.
When Duke Yan heard about it, he asked people to open the city gate and let Bai Qi enter the city. The prime minister on the side tried his best to stop him, but Duke Yan insisted on having his own way and insisted on opening the city gate to welcome Bai Qi into the city and celebrate. .
Bai Qi, who was outside the city, saw the city gate slowly opening, and the smile in his eyes became even stronger. When the city gate was fully opened, Bai Qi clapped his hands, and the ballista was pulled up in an instant, but it was covered with a Layer of red cloth, can't tell what it is.
"This is the second time that the general and the Duke of Yan have met. This is a great gift from Bai Qi. I also ask the Duke of Yan to accept it." Bai Qi pointed to the crossbow covered by red cloth behind him. car.
The Duke of Yan was very happy. He did not expect that Bai Qi would bring him a big gift. Even though he felt that Bai Qi seemed to be a respecter of Confucianism, otherwise this was a Confucian etiquette. How would Bai Qi understand it? He was overjoyed: "General Bai Qi is too polite. Please come into the city for a brief talk."
The Prime Minister, who was standing next to Duke Yan, already felt that something was not good, but he knew that Duke Yan would not listen to anything he said. He could only secretly order the generals on the side to shoot Bai Qi to death as soon as he entered the city. .
But he got half of the calculation right, but not the other half. Bai Qi had no intention of entering the city, but shouted loudly: "A gift to Duke Yan!"
Suddenly, thirty-six soldiers pulled off the red cloth on horseback, and the crossbow cart was revealed. There was only a "bang" sound, and the huge crossbow arrows were shot out, and 3,600 spears were also shot. Got out.
At the same time, more than 50,000 cavalry troops fired arrows together, and the targets were all Duke Yan. In an instant, tens of thousands of sharp arrows were shot out.
Duke Yan and the princes and ministers opened their mouths in shock when they saw this scene, but the next second, before they had time to react, a fire broke out where Duke Yan was, and the tower collapsed.
The crossbow arrows were like explosives, blowing all the people around the Duke of Yan to pieces, and tens of thousands of sharp arrows killed all the backbones of the Yan State in an instant, including the princes, ministers, and the Duke of Yan. die.
Bai Qi laughed loudly: "Attack the city and capture the Yan Kingdom. I, the general, will become the marshal. All of you will be promoted to one rank."
It is said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. With Bai Qi's promise, sharp arrows were shot out. Even the ordinary army of more than one million people shot their bows and arrows first until all the arrows were shot. .
Bai Qi led the army into the city in a mighty manner. Without exception, all the soldiers were killed and the people were left alone, because Ying Zheng's order had been sent and Bai Qi was not allowed to massacre the city or the country.
But even so, Bai Qi killed all the troops of Yan State. Bai Qi could rest assured that the country had no army anymore.
He left an army of 300,000 to govern the affairs of the State of Yan, then turned to the State of Zhao, and left another 300,000 troops to govern the State of Zhao. Finally, Bai Qi led an army of 500,000 to return to the State of Qin.
When he went out, he led an army of 3.1 million, and in the end only 1.2 million were left. However, Bai Qi killed as many as 700 million people, of course most of them were killed indirectly.
When Bai Qi captured the State of Yan, he once again alarmed the other countries. Both South Korea and Wei State received heavy gifts from the State of Qin, but now they are also wavering. They feel that they are going to break with the State of Qin and then break up with the other two countries. Attack Qin.
But just when this idea arose, Ying Zheng wrote a letter to the Duke of Han and the Duke of Wei. The meanings were the same, that is, the three countries would unite to destroy Chu and Qi, and then they would each occupy the entire Jiuzhou. Three continents, three parts of the world.
After seeing this in the letter, both Han Gong and Wei Gong made up their minds to work with Qin to destroy Chu and Qi, and then divide the world into three parts.
Of course, Ying Zheng also mentioned in the letter that Qin had already consumed tens of millions of troops in attacking Yan and Zhao, and had no more troops to deal with Chu and Qi. They could only let the two countries provide the main force, with Qin as an assistant.
Even so, the Duke of Han and the Duke of Wei agreed, because the Qin State has now occupied four states. After helping them defeat Chu and Qi, they will separate a state. Where can such a good thing go? try to find!
Under the instigation of Ying Zheng, South Korea and Wei State both dispatched their main armies to attack the two countries. Chu State and Qi State also saw the determination of the two countries and knew that they would not be able to do without a tough battle. Therefore, the four countries were in Fighting broke out in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and this fight lasted for two full years. However, with the help of Qin, Chu was destroyed, Qi was destroyed, and South Korea and Wei were victorious.
There are only three big countries left in the world, namely Qin, Han, and Wei. However, the Duke of South Korea does not want to divide the world. South Korea shares a border with the State of Qin and the State of Wei, so South Korea wrote to Ying Zheng and Duke Wei. letter.
The letter to Yingzheng meant that Qin and South Korea should fight against Wei, and the letter to Wei Guogong meant that Wei and South Korea should fight against Qin, and then let the two countries fight, and South Korea would reap the benefits.
However, Han Gong's plan has been seen through by Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng has sent the letter written by Han Gong to him, together with the letter written by Ying Zheng himself, to the Wei State. The meaning is self-evident, that is, with the Wei State United and destroyed South Korea.
It took a year for Qin and Wei to unite and destroy South Korea. However, when the territory was finally divided, Bai Qi, Meng Tian and Wang Jian divided their forces into three groups and killed Wei Guogong's army. Then Bai Qi directly Tao Huanglong directly attacked the capital of Wei.
The Warring States Period lasted for 232 years and five generations. In the hands of Ying Zheng, the situation of the Warring States Period was resolved.
At this time, the population of the human race has grown from the original 3.6 billion to less than 80 million now. More than 3.5 billion humans were suddenly disappointed, and the entire Kyushu became a hell on earth.
In the palace of Qin, Ying Zheng was in the main hall. After five years of busy work, he remembered that he invited Xu Fu to the palace five years ago. However, the five years of war left him no time to talk to Xu Fu.
"Xuan Xufu!"
