When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 435 Qin Chu attacked Wei, Feiyan attacked at night

The Chu army's sudden northern expedition was indeed somewhat unexpected.

After all, just a year ago, the Chu army lost tens of thousands of Chu troops on the frontal battlefield of Hangu Pass, and the elite Chu army who made a detour to the east of the river to raid the hinterland of Qin was almost completely lost.

The 2 Tenglong Legion of the Xiang clan had less than [-] people left, and the [-] Thunder Leopard Legion directly under the Chu royal family was completely abolished, the main general died in battle, and less than [-] people survived.

The Shadow Tiger Legion was completely annihilated because Zhao Cong led Zhao Guo's heavy armored corps and retreated without warning. Ji Heng, the patriarch of the Ji clan who was in charge of the Shadow Tiger Legion, died in battle. The 16-year-old young master Ji Bu had to advance Join the army and rebuild the Shadow Tiger Legion with the help of the elders.

And when almost all the elites of the Chu Kingdom were wiped out, how could they regroup their army and go north to attack Wei?
Even the court of the state of Chu did not expect such a situation, and this was Li Yuan's first political achievement after becoming Lingyin of Chu.

Different from the nobility and arrogance of Lord Chunshen, who is a descendant of the Spring and Autumn King's family, Li Yuan, who was born in an ordinary aristocratic family in Zhao State and lived in the market since he was a teenager, has characteristics that Lord Chunshen does not have.

Sleek!

After the death of Lord Chunshen, Li Yuan's identity and status are not the same as in the past, but Li Yuan seems to be still the same as that Chunshen King. Shen Jun's guest, Li Yuan, still maintains a humble and gentle disguise.

Moreover, Li Yuan was smooth enough in dealing with people, and this smoothness made the nobles who get along with him feel extremely comfortable.

This sense of comfort gradually eased the relationship between the court of Chu State and the local nobles, and Li Yuan did not make Yin honorable after he took charge of the government, so he personally visited many nobles, big, middle and small.

In the final analysis, the nobles of the Chu State do not want to fight openly and secretly with the court of Chu State all day long. Although it is to defend their own power and wealth, it is also exhausting.

The political signals released by Li Yuan's series of measures are all expressing a meaning.

That was the beginning of Li Yuan's reign, the court of Chu State and the local nobles of Chu State would usher in a harmonious and friendly honeymoon period, which was what the nobles wanted to see.

As for the opponents in the court, Li Yuan was not as cautious as Chun Shenjun when he governed because he was too afraid of the courtiers. His governing style was very bold.

After all, he also has his own unique political advantages. As his nephew, King Han of Chu is only a five or six-year-old child, it is impossible to oppose his policies, and he has the experience of being a king and Yin. In his hands, he prevented his enemies from secretly meeting King Han of Chu, and with the cooperation of the nobles, he preliminarily took control of the state affairs of Chu State.

But if Li Yuan wants to completely control the government, he still needs prestige and real achievements.

In this world of great strife, what achievement is more practical than the achievement of expanding the soil?

What prestige can deter opponents more than prestige in the army?
It happened that the army under the control of Chun Shenjun was seriously injured, and Li Yuan got along well with the nobles, so after consulting with the nobles, Li Yuan recruited an army of 8 people led by the nobles, and assembled at Fu Lisai, Huaibei Fortress of Chu State.

Many courtiers who opposed Li Yuan thought that Li Yuan was gambling. With those troops who were not good at fighting and their soldiers were weak, the odds of winning the Northern Expedition to Wei State were not high, and they were all waiting to see Li Yuan's jokes.

If Li Yuan did not attack the Wei Kingdom in the north, it would only be a matter of time before he completely controlled the court, but if such a hasty northern expedition was defeated, it would be difficult for Li Yuan to control the army from now on.

In troubled times, military power is the most important power.

With military power, everything else is available.

This is the reason why neighbors store grain and I store guns.

Li Yuan doesn't understand military affairs, but he understands a truth.

The Wei State has been fighting for years, and the age of enlistment has been reduced to fourteen. All leather, iron, copper and other mines are prohibited from casting agricultural tools, and only military use is allowed. In addition to the soldiers killed in the Battle of Hezong, Wei's frontier garrison has not had any soldiers to change defenses for more than two years.

Such a weak state of Wei, coupled with Qin State's invasion of the western border of Wei State, caused the troops on the eastern border of Wei State to be transferred westward and dropped sharply. Li Lai surrendered, perhaps King Han of Chu would not lose his position as Marquis.

Everything was as Li Yuan expected, the Wei army's garrison moved westward on a large scale, and the Chu army took the opportunity to capture Dangcheng and Jiaocheng, the important towns in the southeast of the Wei state.

This Jiaocheng is not the Jiaocheng located in the south of the Yellow River, which was contested by the Qin and Wei Dynasties many times, but the city located in Huaibei. There are many fertile soils such as lime soil and lime soil, and it is a major grain-producing city.

The capture of these two cities also established Li Yuan's prestige among the Chu army, and the court gradually stabilized.

Li Yuan rewarded half of the two cities he got to the nobles who accompanied the army. This fertile land made the nobles very happy.

Although the land allocated to each family is actually not much, what is important is Li Yuan's attitude and integrity in fulfilling his promises.

Of course, Qin was the happiest.

As the leader of the last joint alliance, Chu State blatantly tore up the joint alliance covenant that the joint vertical countries had not yet visibly violated, broke off diplomatic relations with Wei State, and declared war, and seized the city of Wei State.

The joint vertical alliance, which was isolated from the north and the south by the Qin State and was difficult to form again, has completely lost the possibility of formation since then.

On the other hand, Zhang Ji, who was two nights away from the wedding, was tossing and turning more and more.

The wedding date is so close, the girls will not mess around anymore, and even Zhao Ji and Chao Chao have settled down honestly.

Zhang Ji, who was used to eating big fish and meat, was suddenly cut off from cooking, but he was not used to it.

Rolling on the bed with the brocade quilt in his arms, it was difficult to fall asleep.

Suddenly, a fluctuation of internal force came, and the door bolt of Zhang Ji's house suddenly burst.

It was an internal force that contained extreme yang attributes, and Zhang Ji was extremely familiar with the exercises related to this internal force.

Soul Xi Longyou.

Zhang Ji turned around and looked sideways. It was a dignified and elegant figure, wearing a dark blue mermaid dress with orange sleeves. The evening wind blew gently, stirring the gently dancing skirt. put.

"Crimson smoke?"

Zhang Ji looked at Fei Yan who came to his room in surprise, but there was no tenderness in Fei Yan's eyes, nor the excitement and nervousness of getting married, but a coldness instead.

With those cold eyes, you can feel the stinging pain when you look at them.

Today's Feiyan is a bit strange.

In those incomparably cold and pitch-black eyes, there seemed to be a faint blue light flashing past.
