Chapter 1 Abandoned City

Qin Palace, Nan Study Room.

There were only four people, King Qin, Fusu, Wang Jian, and Li Xin.

The King of Qin smiled and said, "General Wang led his army to make great achievements in Yan territory this time. He is really stronger and stronger, not inferior to the young people. Even the king Wang Ben did not go south to attack Chu last year. He drew ten cities in a row in just half a year and expanded the territory of Qin. He is really a tiger father without a dog son. Although the young wind is clear and powerful, he is not inferior to Lao Feng!"

Wang Jian replied anxiously: "The king has been too rewarded. How dare you get the king so well-known!"

Jing Ke has been dead for a long time, and Fusu has been in a much better mood, so recently he has started to participate in state affairs again. Fusu is seen in almost all important state affairs decisions in the court. However, since Fusu has made many great achievements in recent years, the ministers have not been dissatisfied. Hearing Wang Jian's words, Fusu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although Wang Jian has great achievements, he is still so respectful and cautious, and is really aware of the way of self-protection!"

Then he heard the King of Qin laugh and said, "General Wang is too humble. I recruited two generals this time to discuss the destruction of Chu with the two generals!"

Fusu raised his head and asked Qin Wangzheng in surprise, "Does Father be ready to attack Chu now?" Qin Wangzheng nodded and said, "Yan State has been defeated to Liaodong, the Central Plains Han, Zhao has been destroyed, and only Chu State in the world can pose a threat to our Qin State. When will Chu not destroy it be? "

Fusu shook his head and said, "Father, no, there is still Wei State in the Central Plains. Wei State has occupied the important transportation route of the Central Plains and is not upheld by Wei State. If Wei State suddenly attacks Chu State in the south, it will inevitably pose a great threat to the newly established land of the Central Plains. Please think twice!"

When the King of Qin heard this, he frowned and said, "What Wang'er said is reasonable. What General Wang, are you looking at?" Wang Jian thought for a while and was about to answer, suddenly Zhao Gao outside the door said anxiously: "Report to the king, Hongxiang urgently sends the six hundred-li army to report urgently!"

The King of Qin was surprised and didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly said, "Come it quickly!" Zhao Gao stepped into the hall and held a box of hot lacquer brocade.

When King Zheng of Qin opened it, his face changed suddenly, "Is it true that Wang'er got it right!" Wang Jian, Li Xin was shocked and said, "What is the king saying?"

The Qin King said coldly: "The old Korean nobles in Xinzheng area of ​​South Korea rebelled and killed our Qin official history. Since our Qin army's main force attacked Zhao and Yan did not return, the troops were insufficient and they were unable to suppress them. Now the remaining military forces of our Qin army in Xinzheng area have retreated to Nanyang, so we are urgently asking for help!"

Wang Jian frowned and said, "No! How much power can the Korean Old Gui have to rebel? It must be someone who has been trying to challenge him and secretly supports him!"

King Zheng, Fusu and Li Xin of Qin looked at it and said almost unanimously: "Wei State!" Indeed, Wei State is only separated from Xinzheng by the Yellow River. It is very convenient to secretly instigate the Korean mutiny. And as long as the actions go smoothly, the hometown of South Korea can be easily included in the territory of Wei State. Wei State chose the opportunity of the Qin army in the Central Plains to carry out such an action, which was really poisonous and spicy!

A sharp light flashed in Qin Wangzheng's eyes, and he said murderously: "The King of Wei is really tired of living. If I don't attack him, he dares to plot against me. Is it really tolerant? Who is unbearable? Wang'er, General Wang, General Li Xin, how do you think we should deal with it?"

"According to the old minister's opinion, Wei State is in the center of the Central Plains, and it has always been a major concern for our Qin State. It would be better to take this opportunity to eliminate it in one fell swoop!"

"I am just thinking about this. This important task must be the old general!" King Qin Zheng laughed in his arms.

Wang Jian shook his head and said with a bow: "King, the old minister has been fighting outside for many years, sleeping in the open and suffering from hardships. Now not only does the limbs and joints suffer from rheumatism, but also the heart often suffers from faint pain. Once it occurs, it is simply painful and life is worse than death. I am old and can no longer fight for the king. Please ask the old minister to retire and return home!"

When Qin Wang Zheng heard this, he was stunned. He looked at Wang Jian's wrinkles and gray hair. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his youth was getting old and the hero was about to go away. He said sadly: "In a blink of an eye, the old general is over 60 years old and has been fighting for the country for forty years. He has made great contributions to Qin. However, the Central Plains has not yet been decided, and I still have the place to rely on the old general, so the old general can go home to recuperate. Speaking of retiring, the old general should hold on for a few more years for Qin!"

Wang Jian originally intended to fight countless times in his life, and made great achievements. He had already been suspected of shaking the Lord. He wanted to retire early to avoid conflicts with the King of Qin in the future. However, when the King of Qin refused, he had to pause his head and said, "Since this is the case, the old minister would take care of his illness while persisting for the country for several years!"

The King of Qin said happily: "It's so good. I wonder if the old general has any opinions on Xinzheng's rebellion?"

Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "The son Wang Ben led tens of thousands of troops to attack Chu, which is very close to Wei and Xinzheng. It is better to ask the son to return to the army to pacify Xinzheng first and then destroy Wei!" Qin Wang Zheng said with kindness: "It's great, according to the old general's opinion!"

He asked Fusu again, "Wanger, what do you mean?" Fusu smiled and said, "The old general's words are old-fashioned plans, very good, Fusu has no objection! It's just that Chu State is huge, with a romance that 'Although Chu is three households, Qin must be Chu'. If the father wants to destroy Chu, he must make plans early to avoid panic in the battle!"

King Zheng of Qin nodded and said, "Yes, you need to prepare early. According to the three of you, how many troops will be used to attack Chu?"

Wang Jian and Li Xin were immediately in deep thought when they heard this. Fusu was stunned and remembered a more famous event in history: King Zheng of Qin wanted to destroy Chu, so he asked Wang Jian and Li Xin for advice. Li Xin said, "Twenty-hundred thousand is enough!" Wang Jian said, "It must be six hundred thousand!" So, King Zheng of Qin took Li Xin as his bravery and thought that Wang Jian was old. Who knew that Li Xin was defeated soon, and the King of Qin had to reuse Wang Jian.

At this time, the King of Qin first asked Wang Jian: "How many troops does General Wang need?"

"King, Chu State has a large land and a large population, and its people are strong. Therefore, to conquer the entire territory of Chu State, 600,000 troops must be 600,000."

The First Emperor was stunned: "Six hundred thousand? What is General Li's intention?"

"Two hundred thousand is enough!" Li Xin insisted!

"Twenty-hundred thousand?" King Qin and Wang Jian were stunned.

But Fusu was silent and just watched quietly.

"Yes, 200,000, and we marched in two groups, taking Yan Ying and attacking Pingyu, and then meeting Yu Chengfu. There will be no trace of the Chu army north of the river. After some rectification, there will be no problem in attacking Shouchun east and capturing the King of Chu. "

King Zheng of Qin asked Fusu, "Wang'er, what do you mean?" Fusu thought for a while and said, "It depends on who leads the army: General Li Xin leads the army, even if it is a million, he will be defeated; General Wang Jian leads the army, 200,000 can protect himself, 400,000 can win, and 600,000 can destroy Chu! Overall, I still insist on the theory that General Wang and 600,000 can destroy Chu!"

Although Wang Jian's expression had not changed when he heard this, a hint of elegance appeared in his eyes: Although Fusu was not his disciple, he often went to Wang Jian's mansion and was deeply influenced by Wang Jian's military tactics. Therefore, Wang Jian was deeply proud of Fusu's shrewdness at such a young age.

Li Xin said with dissatisfaction, "How can the young master assert that he would be defeated if he didn't lead a million troops?" Qin Wang Zheng also asked with confusion: "Yes, Wang'er, I also think that 200,000 is enough to destroy Chu! Look, Wang Ben led more than 100,000 troops and defeated the Chu army in a row, and his momentum was unstoppable!"

Fusu shook his head and said, "That's different. General Wang Ben's attack on Chu, after all, it was not a destruction of Chu. It was not unusual for the Chu people to lose for a moment. But as the old general Wang Jian said, Chu people are fighting against the land and things, and the people are strong. If Qin really wants to destroy Chu, Chu people will inevitably raise national forces to resist it in fear. I am afraid that this force will be at least more than 400,000. With our army 200,000 against the Chu army 400,000, the chance of victory is not high.

The most important thing is that Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu, was scheming and scheming, and was the second only to Li Mu among the six Kanto countries. His son Xiang Liang was also young and heroic, not inferior to Wang Ben. Although General Li Xin was brave, he was young and even won the battle. He had already ignored the situation and underestimated the enemy too much. Therefore, if he went to fight with 200,000 troops, he would definitely lose!"

Fusu has experience in later generations as lessons, and naturally analyzes it well and is very profound. Everyone here changes their colors when they hear it.

When Qin Wang Zheng heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "What Wang'er said is quite reasonable. That Yan Guo is so powerful?"

Wang Jian frowned and said, "Although the old minister has never fought with him, he is quite familiar with his origin. Xiang Yan belongs to the "Xiang Family" tribe of the Chu people. This tribe originally lived in Xiangcheng, south of the Yellow River, close to Han and Wei, and is famous for his courage in field battles. He is unique among the people of Chu. Later, the Chu State destroyed Wu and Yue. Because he was worried that Wu and Yue were rebelled, he moved the "Xiang Family" tribe, the most famous "Xiang Family" tribe, to Kuaiji, to guard Wu and Yue. The reputation of his tribe is evident. This Xiang Yan is the most outstanding general of the "Xiang Family" tribe in the contemporary era.

He is not only proficient in military tactics, but also swordsmanship and shooting skills among the Chu people, but also good at governing the army, so the army is the one who is very terrifying. The most terrifying thing is that Xiang Yan treats the people very well and serves the people well, so the people of Kuaiji respect all respects. Xiang Yan is not only fully trusted by King Fu Chu of Chu, but also has a lofty prestige in the Chu army and the people. Although he has no great achievements so far, this person's ability must never be underestimated! So facing such a strong enemy, the old minister has to be 600,000 troops to ensure that he can defeat the enemy!"

Fusu was secretly shocked: "It turns out that Xiang Yan has such a origin. No wonder Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were able to escape into Kuaiji County after Xiang Yan died in the past, and they were hiding without any clothes. It seems that it would be quite troublesome to get rid of this person in advance in the future!"

Then when he heard that King Zheng of Qin took a breath, he said, "There are such famous generals in Chu, and it is not easy to defeat it. General Li's 200,000 is indeed not enough to defeat Chu. Old General, I will start preparing first. After the battle to destroy Wei, I will mobilize 600,000 troops to the old general to destroy Chu in one battle." Wang Jian nodded and said, "I obey the order!"

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Fortunately, the father of Qin Wang listened to the advice. Otherwise, if he would have handed over the 200,000 troops to Li Xin, he would not only have almost wiped out the entire army, but even Li Xin committed suicide to thank the country. Qin has preserved a little more strength!"

Li Xin was also accustomed to the fact that Chu people had no generals. Now, when he heard Xiang Yan was so powerful, he no longer dared to say the crazy words of "Twenty-one thousand defeating Chu".

But Fusu suddenly said, "Father, since General Wang is going to return to his hometown to recuperate, Wang'er has a request to ask his father and General Wang to approve it!" Qin Wang Zheng smiled and said, "I have not rewarded him well for many great achievements in the previous king. Now if there is any request, I will report it!"

Fusu smiled and said, "First of all, I need to ask my father to forgive the crime of concealment. The son-in-law and the young general Wang Xia have been childhood sweethearts since childhood and have a deep relationship, so I ask my father to allow me to get engaged to Xia Mei! When my son-in-law gets older, he will marry him!"

When the King of Qin heard this, he was stunned. He looked at Fusu, then looked at Wang Jian, with a strange look on his face, obviously having other ideas. Wang Jian said in a panic: "The old minister was guilty of death!"

The King of Qin laughed and said, "What is the crime of the old general? Since Fusu and the old general have never been guessed since childhood, they are childhood sweethearts. I wonder if the old general can give up and let him be worthy of the King of Fusu!" Since the King of Qin still had to take advantage of Wang Jian, and with such a good opportunity to win over, how could he let it go, and immediately agreed.

Wang Jian showed joy when he heard this. He was worried that he would be shocked by the master. He would have a rare good ending in the future. If Fusu married his daughter, he would be determined in the second half of his life. He hurriedly said: "The little girl can be favored by the young master and the king. He is lucky in his three lives. How dare Wang Jian refuse to agree!"

King Zheng of Qin was overjoyed and said: "Since that's the case, it's better to pick up the sun than to pick the sun. Just hold an engagement ceremony for them in three days! The old general has any objections!" "There is no objection to me!"

Fusu said a little embarrassedly, "Wait, my father, there is one more!" "There is one more?" The King of Qin was stunned, remembered Qi Hong, and laughed, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot Miss Qi Hong, the hero who destroyed Zhao! Since that's the case, we will get engaged together in three days. After two years, the overall situation in the world will gradually settle down, and Wang'er will marry them together!" "Thank you, Father!" Fusu couldn't help but show joy.

The good news came out, and Qin State was alarmed, and there were endless people expressing congratulations. The prince and prince Xiangui who came to give gifts to Fan's relatives every day almost broke the threshold of the "Lingyan Pavilion", which made Fusu very upset.

Fortunately, three days passed quickly. King Zheng of Qin held a grand engagement ceremony for Fusu in the Qin Palace. Envoys from all countries arrived and civil and military officials gathered. For a time, there were almost guests in Xianyang Palace, with red makeup covering the ground and drums stunning in the sky. The lively sound could be heard clearly in the market far away from the palace.

When the three newcomers appeared, Fusu's heroic and elegant manner certainly surprised the guests, but Wang Xia and Qi Hong's amazing beauty made everyone even more stunned. They were so shaking their eyes and envious of Fusu's beauty.

On this day, everyone almost had a party until late at night. According to the Qin people's custom of drinking, although Fusu was quite drunk, he was also drunk. Fortunately, the Qin King, who was also very happy, saw that Fusu was really out of the way, so he issued an order to expel the guests, and the guests dispersed with laughter.

Because Qi Hong was an orphan, she had already gained fame with Fusu, so she moved into Lingyan Pavilion openly. However, because his father was about to return to Pingyang fiefdom to recuperate, Wang Xia was reluctant to part with Fusu, who had just returned to Xianyang, so she also moved into the "Lingyan Pavilion" and accompanied Qi Hong.

So, Wang Jian had to sigh, "Which girl is too old, she had to go back to Pingyang alone to recuperate. Fortunately, Wang Li, the son of Wang Ben, is already seven or eight years old, and the old man finally has relatives in Pingyang, so he will not be overly lonely!

Since then, Fusu often accompanied Qi Hong and Wang Xia in the "Lingyan Pavilion". His relationship grew stronger and he lived a very happy life. However, the good times did not last long, and soon the news of the unfavorable situation in the front of Wei State was passed back to Xianyang.

*******

Lingyan Pavilion, back garden.

Thousands of flowers are blooming, thousands of grasses are green, rockery is rugged, waterfalls are splashing, and paths covered with white pebbles are winding and circling in the garden, connecting the huge gardens together. Among the flowers and plants, countless hard-working bees are buzzing and flying, adding a little vitality to the garden!

In the middle of the garden, a rippling clear water covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, an exquisite and elegant water pavilion is standing quietly on the water surface.

In the pavilion, two furnaces of quiet spices were lit, and the air was filled with a quiet and intoxicating fragrance. Fusu, dressed in white, sat quietly in the pavilion, with a guqin in front of him, gently stroking the strings with his eyes closed slightly. Two beautiful beauties were leaning beside him, leaning against Fusu with satisfaction, Qi Hong and Wang Xia. Behind him were two palace maids about sixteen or seventeen years old but very beautiful!

As Fusu gently stroked the strings of the piano, musical elves jumped out of the strings, like jinglings of spring water and singing, full of a kind of perplexity, elegance, and natural atmosphere. Fusu, who was playing the piano, was also filled with a chic, elegant and natural atmosphere like a fairy who was riding away from the dust!

While Fusu was intoxicated, suddenly there was a burst of rapid footsteps coming from the bamboo bridge connecting the water pavilion and the lake shore.

"Ding--" Fusu frowned, and suddenly lost the peace of mind to continue playing, and pressed the piano face with both hands.

A person rushed over the bamboo bridge in the distance. Because of the rapid pace, the bamboo water bridge made of water made of tears made a painful moan, and he couldn't help but "squeak" sound! The person who came was unintentional.

Fusu said unhappily: "Wuxin, why are you so panicked?" Wuxin reported urgently: "Young master, the king is urgently summoned, and an emergency military situation is coming!"

"Oh!?" Fusu couldn't help frowning: "It was a smooth attack on Wei in history. Has something happened now?" Thinking of this, he said anxiously: "Sister Hong, Sister Xia, please help me change my clothes!" "Yes, young master!"

After Fusu finished changing his clothes, he rushed to Nanshu and saw four people sitting in the Nanshu study: one is the King of Qin, one is the King of Qin, one is the Knights and the other is Li Xin.

Fusu gave a quick bow: "Father, my son is late!" The King of Qin nodded and signaled Fusu to sit down beside him.

After Fusu sat down, he asked King Zheng of Qin: "Father, is there something wrong with attacking the front line of Wei?" King Zheng of Qin nodded and said: "After General Wang Ben returned from Chu, he quickly pacified Xinzheng and then attacked Wei. But when he attacked the last barrier of the abandoned city in front of the Wei capital Daliang, an accident happened. The specific situation, Li Si, please explain it in detail!"

"Yes!" Li Si replied: "When General Wang Ben attacked the waste city, he was unable to get off the waste city for more than a month, but he lost more than 10,000 troops. The waste city was solid and had heavy troops stationed. General Wang Ben had no choice but to ask for help!"

Fusu took a breath and thought to himself: "No, in history, Wang Ben attacked Wei but attacked Wei City in one breath. When did he hit the head and bloody in such a small place as the destruction and ruined city!" He asked in confusion: "What is the specific situation of the destruction and ruined city? Who are you defending the city? How many soldiers are there? What is the specific situation of the war?"

Li Si said: "The general of the decayed city was named Wu Haoyue. It is rumored to be a descendant of Wu Qi, a famous general of Wei in the Warring States Period. He led 30,000 Wei troops to defend the decayed city. When General Wang Ben attacked Wei, he did not defend the city. Instead, he set up many antler barriers in front of the decayed city two thousand steps ahead of the decayed city, and built many things called 'Pili Che' and 'Wu Gang Che'. They were so tired that our army could not defeat it repeatedly, and instead suffered heavy casualties!"

"What!" Fusu raised his voice and his mind was running rapidly: "'Forward defense', 'Pili Car', 'Wugang Car', this is something that only appeared in later generations. How could it appear in the Waste City? Could it be that some of my brothers in the past life appeared in the Waste City!"
