When the moon came out, the cries of laughing owls came from the dark forest. The sound was not so much a bird singing, but rather a madman laughing. The laughter was terrifying, and Lin Jiao in the chariot waved his hand back and signaled the soldiers behind him to stop.

When Lin Jiao waved his hand to stop, the moon was covered by dark clouds again, and the world was dark. A scout from the front army rushed over, "Report to General, there is no one in the road ahead."

"Good!" There must be front troops in the army, but the hidden moon made Lin Jiao very uneasy. "OK!"

"The general has an order, do it." The military order was penetrated by the orders, and the Wei soldiers with their mouths continued to move forward.

The Chu army was still in Guanzhong, and the first division and brigade that left Wuguan had arrived at the imperial examination. The Qin army led by Li Xin had already attacked the city of Shangcai. The Wei State was in a hurry, and Lin Jiao, who was stationed on the Baishui line in Wancheng, was ordered by the king to rescue Shangcai. The Qin army attacked Shangcai from Wuyang in the upper right corner of Fangcheng, and he led his army to rescue Shangcai from the junction of Biyang, Daoxian, Sangsun, and Wei-Chu in the middle of Fangcheng.

This is the Xia Road hundreds of years ago. After leaving Fangcheng, I entered Xianghe Pass (now the Xianghe River in Biyang), walked to AiFen (now Suiping County), and all the way to Fanyang Pass (now the North Hanji in Xincai County). This journey was still under the control of the Wei army, but Xianghe Pass was about a hundred miles away from Wuyang occupied by the Qin army. Lin Jiao, the leading army, was very worried that the Qin army would set up an ambush in this section, so he was particularly careful.

There were many shocks and deceptions all night, and every time they were false alarms. After waiting for dawn, the entire army had only been more than forty miles, and the generals and soldiers couldn't help but complain. The generals and soldiers had complaints, and Lin Jiao also had complaints in his heart. According to his original intention, he should wait for the Chu army to arrive in Nanyang before rescue Shangcai, but the king seemed to be scared by Xiang Yan's defeat and insisted that he arrive in Shangcai in five days. After arriving in Shangcai, he had to send some troops to station in Daliang. It was so urgent, there was only one way to rescue, so how dare he go fast?

"Tell me the order, summon all the lieutenants to come..." Lin Jiao was about to summon all the lieutenants to discuss matters, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw a tent of black rain suddenly flying out of the forest beside the road. "Qin people--" he shouted quickly, and before the voice fell, dense arrows shot into his face and died in the military carriage.

"Qin people!" He never expected that the Qin people would launch an attack at dawn. The Wei soldiers who were drinking water and eating dry food were in panic. Many people were shot to death by the Qin army's crossbow arrows without even picking up their weapons.

The rain of arrows was very short, and the Qin soldiers who had shot the crossbow arrows rushed out quickly - they did not always lie here, they calculated the time and were stuck in the front of the Wei army and attacked here after passing by. The battle broke out, and at the beginning, the Wei soldiers could form formations to protect themselves. As more and more Qin soldiers rushed over, they were cut into pieces, and the Wei soldiers gradually fled involuntarily.

If you cannot face the enemy head-on, escaping will only expose your vest to the enemy, but who can think about it in a panic? Whenever one person escapes, the soldiers of the same rank will follow you; if one person escapes, the entire rank will follow you. Fear is an infectious disease, and the sounds of sight will be infected. Tens of thousands of people in the central army fled, and tens of thousands of people in the front and rear army fled.

On both sides of Xia Dao, in the hills and forests, Qin soldiers ran to the Wei soldiers desperately, cut off their heads, and tied their hair to their belts. When there were too many heads, they could not be tied to their belts, so they swung them on their shoulders and hung them behind them.

Li Xin had not won a battle for a long time. Seeing that all the soldiers were captured, the deputy general An Qi bowed and said, "The last general congratulations to the general."

"It's just a Wei people, what can I congratulate?" Li Xin was not happy. He never forgot who his real enemy was.

"The Wei army is the arm of the Jing people. The general killed Lin Jiao and broke Jing people with one arm." An Qi understood the significance of this battle. Before this battle, Wang Jian first defeated and then won, defeated the Chu and Qi coalition led by Xiang Yan. The only army that could fight in the countries was the 200,000 people of King Jing. This army might have to retreat, but once the troops were divided, they would be no match for the army.

"Well." Li Xin responded vaguely. He was not as optimistic as Anqi. The outcome of the war was still dependent on whether Wang Jian could quickly pull out Handan. The Qin army now has only one hand. Only if he took Handan and freed up his hands can the Qin army be the opponent of the Chu army. "The command to the entire army: kill all the Wei people, and leave no more."

"The general has an order: kill all the Wei people, and do not leave any other kind!" The military orders were quickly conveyed. Do not attack the land alone and attack the people. Li Xin, who has been a general of Qin for a long time, knows the importance of this. The population is the real potential for war for a country. No matter how advanced the tactics and the weapons are, no matter how well they are, they will still fail in the war if there is no enough number of soldiers.

Based on this, a few days ago, he wrote to the king that he should not keep the kindness of a woman. When fighting against the Chu army, he must follow the principle of "not attacking the land alone and attacking the person". As long as it is in the land of Chu, all men, women, and young should be killed. Only in this way can the Qin State achieve the final victory.

When the Qin army killed the Chu people, the Chu army naturally killed the Qin people. The problem is that the construction of the Chu army is closely related to the Chu people. The Chu people must first be in order to form the Chu army. The Qin army is different. As long as the Qin army moves all the nobles outside the city and then dispatches officials, they can quickly gather up an army. It doesn’t matter who they are. What’s important is that their families are qualifying in the rear. Whether they are Wei, Zhao, Han, or Qi people, they will become Qin soldiers who are cautious in military discipline.

"Transmission to Xianyang: Today our army ambushed the Linjiao unit of the Wei army, and defeated him, and beheaded more than 100,000." The number of beheadings will be roughly counted in the afternoon, but Li Xinshan advocated to set a "100,000" first. "When the Jing people were coming, our army no longer attacked and pulled Cai after this battle and was about to withdraw from the Wei territory. If King Jing leads the entire army out of Fangcheng, our army will not fight with him.

I think our army is the primary one, and we should be in Handan. Only by abducting Handan can we join forces to fight with the Jing people. Therefore, if the Jing people want to fight with me, I will not fight with him. If they advance, I will retreat; if they divide them, I will attack him. If Xiang Yan is defeated, our army will not be able to rescue Zhao. I ask the king to help the ministers fight against Yingchuan, Sanchuan and two counties. Dingkou in the county will move to Guanzhong. Our army will defend Gusai to death..."

This is not the first time that Li Xin reported military information to King Zhao Zheng of Qin, but this is the first time that Li Xin bluntly stated the strategy of the entire Qin army as a general. This is of course an usurpation. However, the Qin army in Guanzhong was defeated and Xianyang was defeated, and Qin was in a critical moment of survival. Once the 400,000 people he led and the 300,000 people led by Wang Jian were wiped out, the Qin State would be destroyed.
