Daily Life In Qin Dynasty - Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Destruction of Korea in Ten Days

Why did Zhuyeqing let Heiyu give up Ji Wuye and leave.

the reason is simple.

Because their ‘side mission’ has been completed.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, a group of ‘stragglers’ at the gate of Xinzheng still failed to resist Qiang Qin’s iron cavalry because they had not waited for a long time for the support of the commander-in-chief Ji Wuye.

This battle.

Wang Jian led the Qin army to attack from the west, north, and south of Xinzheng at the same time. Although they also sent troops to attack in the direction of the east gate, they left a small gap.

The encirclement division must be quelled.

This is the essence of the art of war.

If Ji Wuye was in charge of the three armies, he would be able to see Wang Jian’s plan and send people to strengthen the defense of the east gate.

Unfortunately, in the absence of Ji Wuye in charge, although more than half of the lieutenants in the army saw the trap set by Wang Jian, the other part of the people didn’t think so.

More importantly, without the commander-in-chief in charge, neither side can convince the other.

The final result is… split.

Seventy percent of the soldiers were still fighting against the Qin army’s blades in the west, north, and south directions, while 30% of the soldiers who split out were protecting King Han and planned to evacuate Xinzheng from the east gate first.

The result is naturally needless to say.

As soon as the east gate opened, 30% of the soldiers who were guarding King Han’s evacuation from the east gate encountered an ambush by the Qin army.

Things were even simpler after that. The east gate of Xinzheng was broken, and the Qin army who rushed into the city joined forces with the Qin army outside the other three city gates. The chain reaction soon led to the fall of the entire Xinzheng.

King Han was captured.

The capital fell.

All this is enough to declare the official demise of South Korea.

From the beginning to the end, counting from the day when Qin State besieged Xinzheng, it only lasted ten days in total.

······

Zhang Liang, Hong Lian and the others learned of the fall of Xinzheng two quarters of an hour after Hei Yu left.

This news is too sudden.

They already knew that the Qin State is very strong today. After all, with the help of that man, the national power of Qin State has been rising at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye over the years.

So even though they clearly had an enmity with Ji Wuye just now, they still wanted to protect Ji Wuye by force.

Because under the current situation, South Korea really can’t stand any turmoil.

But they never expected it.

Today’s Qin State has become so powerful. Although the Xinzheng garrison does not have a commander-in-chief, it is a bit outrageous that they did not even survive a night.

After hearing the news, everyone was silent for a moment.

Then he saw Wei Zhuang slowly pull out the shark teeth, and walked towards Ji Wuye.

“What do you want to do? Wait…”

“噗~”

The shark teeth swung across, and the sword cut off Ji Wuye’s neck.

Since Xinzheng has been captured by the Qin army, Ji Wuye naturally has no value in continuing to exist.

This time Zhang Liang didn’t stop him, but seeing the majestic South Korean general die in front of him, Zhang Liang couldn’t help feeling a little bit emotional.

After all, once upon a time, they fought endlessly with Ji Wuye for the power struggle within South Korea.

But now facing Qiang Qin’s iron cavalry, everything they did in the past suddenly seemed so ridiculous.

Guren beside her looked blankly.

Honglian, the Ninth Princess who has not yet become the ‘Chilian’, obviously cannot accept what happened during this period.

Just a few days ago.

She was once the glorious Ninth Princess of South Korea, but with the fall of Nanyang, she was treated as a “goods” by her father and king in an instant, and was traded to Ji Wuye.

Originally on the night of the wedding, just as Han Fei expected, Honglian was even ready to die with Ji Wuye, but at this moment, she was rescued by the person she had been thinking about day and night .

But before she had time to be happy, in less than an hour, news came from afar that Xinzheng fell, South Korea perished, and even her father was captured.

Such ups and downs, for a girl like her, the impact is obviously too big.

“What are you going to do next?”

Compared with Honglian’s bewilderment, Wei Zhuang is much calmer. The demise of South Korea has become a fact, although this is not a good thing for him. After all, in a sense, the South Korea he chose was Gai Nie. The destruction of the chosen state of Qin also meant that he lost to Gai Nie.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to Wei Zhuang, who has always been victorious.

But Wei Zhuang knows better that blindly being depressed is of no help. The most important thing to do right now is to admit his ‘failure’ and deal with it as soon as possible, so as to reduce the loss.

“First of all, we need to hide all the power of [Quick Sand] and [Zi Lanxuan]. If possible, it is best to change another stronghold in the next period of time.”

Hearing what Wei Zhuang said, Zhang Liang also began to think seriously. Now that South Korea has been captured, it is inevitable that Xinzheng will fall into turmoil in the future.

So in order to prevent the forces they have worked so hard to build from encountering a greater crisis, the most important thing right now should be to let these forces lurk temporarily. It is best to change places and establish a new stronghold.

For Zhang Liang, the only good news for them at present is that at least those who are close to them are safe in terms of safety.

Sounds weird.

But the fact is true. Before the fall of South Korea, Han Fei and Zi Nu who were deeply trapped in Qin State may be in danger at any time.

But when South Korea is destroyed, the situation of the two will be safer.

The same applies to the captive king of Han.

Maybe their freedom will be more restricted, but they will be safer, and even in Qin State, they may be regarded as honored guests.

This is also the greatest confidence for Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang to maintain their rationality.

“Perhaps before we leave, we can get a start-up fund for a new base.” Wei Zhuang said.

His meaning is obvious. Chaos will bring more opportunities. Now that South Korea has fallen, those nobles who used to be high above must bring a lot of assets and try to leave South Korea secretly.

At this time, there is no burden for Wei Zhuang and others to rob the assets of those nobles.

But upon hearing Wei Zhuang’s words, Zhang Liang shook his head lightly and said, “I think we’re probably a step too late. If Brother Wei Zhuang is interested, you can go to the wedding hall to have a look.”

Hearing Zhang Liang’s words, Wei Zhuang came to the wedding banquet hall with doubts, but suddenly saw that the guests who had been invited by Ji Wuye to congratulate him before had all fallen to the ground.

Zhang Liang continued: “They didn’t die, they were just drunk. They were so drunk that they didn’t even notice that their belongings were taken away.”
