Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 51 Alliance [First update, please collect and read]

Sometimes war is fast, sometimes it is slow.

The Battle of Pingyang, a war that shocked everyone in the world, obviously belonged to the former. Almost in one day and one night, this war that should have lasted a long time and had obvious results ended.

but--

To everyone's surprise, the world-famous Wei soldiers did not win. Instead, it was the Qin army that won.

The three allied forces were united and could not resist the Qin army.

This is an almost unbelievable thing for people in the world.

Qin, what country?
  Barbarians!
  But what about Qin today? What they were fighting was an unjust war, and the country was so powerful that it could even defeat the powerful countries of the past, Han, Zhao and Wei!
  Why is Wei Wuzu famous all over the world?
  Because of its super high combat effectiveness! But such a world-famous army is no more than an enemy under the hands of the old Qin people.

When he received the battle report, King Wei Hui, who was far away in Daliang, looked so gloomy that he could shed tears.

Wei was defeated?

lost.

This is the truth.

He slammed the wine baron in his hand to the ground, his face was full of anger, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger.

"Damn!"

King Wei Hui suddenly thought of many things, such as the fact that Qin Xiaogong persuaded him to become king, and agreed with him and praised him. He also thought of the condemnation of him by all the countries and many virtuous people in the world after he became king.

I even thought about the wars I had to deal with when I became king at that time, and the attack on Qin that I put down.

How could King Hui of Wei not know that he had fallen into Qin Xiaogong's scheme?
  But it's too late.

After the Qin State passed Shang Yang's reforms, it was no longer the Qin State it was before. Its strength was so strong that even the Wei State had to temporarily avoid the edge.

The prosperity and decline of the countries in the Central Plains seemed to happen in an instant.

Maybe because of a person, maybe because of an event.

When people or events appear or disappear, the country's strength and decline will already have consequences.

When the good news reached the capital of Qin, the people of Qin were celebrating excitedly. This was a victory for them to resist the enemy and protect their country. It was also a rare time to demonstrate the strength of Qin in so many years.

In the Qin Palace.

Great Hall
  Qin Xiaogong was sitting on the stage, the smile on his face could not be concealed, and the corners of his eyes seemed to have a few lines because he was too happy.

He looked at the officials in the audience and smiled slightly: "Everyone, good news has arrived."

"Chen Ye led the army and defeated the enemy. He killed nearly ten thousand people and captured tens of thousands!"

"The Allied forces have retreated hundreds of miles and do not dare to send troops easily."

He stood up, obviously unable to restrain his inner excitement and joy at this time: "Such a great achievement, you should be rewarded!"

Qin Xiaogong turned his head and looked at Shang Yang, who was still in the crowd: "Shang Qing, according to military merit, what reward should I receive for this achievement?"

Shang Yang slowly came out of the queue and said: "I would like to report to the emperor that the merits of the Sikou are too high. If he is rewarded according to the military merit system, he can be awarded the title of Young Master."

Shaoshangzao is ranked fifteenth in the twenty-level military merit title system, which is already regarded as a high-ranking title.

After all, in name, Chen Ye was just a white man without a title.

However, as a young master, how could he let Qin Xiaogong, who was in the excitement stage at this time, express his depressed emotions?

He looked at Shang Yang, then at the many ministers, and especially at Gongzi Qian, who was sitting in the crowd and didn't seem to be in any hurry, and suddenly smiled: "Chen Ye's merit is not unique to military merit."

"This battle is to enhance our country's prestige and make the countries in the Central Plains fearful."

"For such a feat, he was awarded the title of Young Master with the title of twenty-first-class military merit——"

Qin Xiaogong looked around at the officials in the audience, and then said something that shocked them all: "And——"

"Profess the king." - Confess the king! What an honor and glory is this for people at this time?
  Suddenly, some people could no longer sit still.

He immediately stepped forward to dissuade him, but before he could speak, Qin Xiaogong waved his hand: "I have made up my mind on this matter. When Chen Ye's master returns to the court, he will choose a fiefdom!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak at this time.

Because of this, the matter of Chen Ye becoming the king seems to have been settled.

Pingyangcheng

Chen Ye was sitting in the tent. He looked at the soldiers who were working hard outside the tent with a look of nostalgia on his face.

A moment later, a soldier came over in a hurry, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Reporting to General, the Allied Forces of Han, Zhao and Wei sent a letter stating that they hope to withdraw their troops and make peace with the General!"

Chen Ye slowly rolled up the bamboo slips in his hand. He raised his head and his eyes were filled with anticipation: "Send my military order and the entire army will take a temporary rest."

"In addition, Babaili will report this matter to your Majesty as soon as possible!"

The soldier lowered his head and his voice was deep and powerful.

"only!"

Daliang
  King Wei Hui looked gloomy. Didn't he actually know that if he retreated this time, Wei's face would be trampled under his feet, and his ambition to dominate would be completely wiped out?
  Can.
  At this time, King Wei Hui understood another thing more clearly.

If we do not retreat at this time, we will suffer heavy casualties.

It is impossible for them to win, or even to lose both sides.

The morale of the Qin people was high at this time, but they needed to avoid the edge for a while.

Qin army barracks.

Several soldiers sat together, the fire in front of them burning high, like vigorous seedlings.

A group of rough men chatted about the enemy they had beheaded yesterday.

"Oh, I killed five enemies this time. According to the military merit and title system, I can be promoted to the third level of title!"

"I finally saved something for my baby!"

The man picked up the big bowl and drank all the wine in one gulp, with a carefree and ferocious look on his face.

"Brother, why are you so anxious?"

A person next to him rubbed his hands: "I heard that the war will continue. As long as this war continues, we can continue to accumulate military merits in exchange for titles!"

"What will happen even if you and I die on the battlefield?"

“My wife and mother at home don’t have to worry too much!”

"With the titles and land rewards, when my son reaches adulthood, I can strive to get rid of my status as the head of Guizhou! I wonder if I will be able to find an official position in the future!"

A group of people gathered around the bonfire, celebrating their harvest, and their bragging sounds could be heard almost throughout the night.

Perhaps some people were happy and others were sad. Compared to the happiness and wantonness of Qin's tent, the Allies seemed much quieter.

In the ninth year of Duke Xiao of Qin, in the first month.

Under pressure, the Allies finally withdrew after agreeing to a series of conditions.

In the spring of the same year.

The king of Qin, who had just defeated Wei Wuzu and the three allied forces, announced that he would hold an alliance meeting and invited the kings of Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Yan, Wei, and Song.

This is almost a blatant display of muscles and a desire to dominate.

Can.
  No one can stop it.
