Chapter 407: Six Kings Finished, Four Seas Unified!

~7 min read 1,391 words

In the original history, the Qin State's destruction of Qi could be described as extremely easy; they didn't even really fight the Qi army, and Qi surrendered first. Because Qi surrendered, it had not been baptized by war, so it hid many people with ulterior motives. After the world fell into chaos, these people who had not been affected suddenly became a hidden danger.

But the current world was different.

Because the Qin State destroyed the five Shandong states too quickly, King Xuan Jian of Qi had not yet lost all his spirit. Even though the Qin State bribed Hou Sheng to try to persuade King Xuan Jian of Qi to surrender, King Xuan Jian of Qi had always been obedient to his uncle Hou Sheng in everything, but he did not agree to this.

Not only did he not agree, but he also showed an extremely resolute attitude.

He immediately conscripted the entire nation's army to resist the Qin army's attack.

Although Hou Sheng was the Chancellor of Qi, he had not reached the point of covering the sky with one hand and interfering with King Xuan Jian of Qi's decisions. Faced with King Xuan Jian of Qi's decision, he could only sigh secretly, while secretly writing many letters to the Qin State, selling out Qi's intelligence to the Qin State.

He knew better than anyone how powerful the Qin State was. The other five Shandong states had been destroyed by the Qin State one after another. Qi was tucked away in a corner, its army had not fought for a long time, and it was lax in warfare. What could it use to compete with the Qin State?

One must know that when the five states joined forces back then, they were still no match for the Qin State, let alone now that only Qi was left.

King Xuan Jian of Qi's actions were undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock, seeking his own death.

Rather than resisting the Qin State, it would be better to surrender voluntarily and live as a wealthy man in peace.

Unfortunately, King Xuan Jian of Qi was determined, and Hou Sheng could not persuade him.

Although King Xuan Jian of Qi was seeking his own death, he himself did not want to die like that. Hou Sheng could only find a way to survive by selling intelligence.

Wang Ben soon received this intelligence from Hou Sheng. After taking a look, a hint of mockery appeared on his face. It was no wonder Qi would be destroyed with such treacherous officials. He handed the intelligence in his hand to the person in front of him and asked, "Han Xin, in your opinion, how should we destroy the Qi State?"

Han Xin had originally been introduced by Su Xuan to join Wang Xuan Jian's command. He was skilled in military strategy, and even though he was still young, he was, after all, the famous "Military Immortal" of history. One must know that in the original history, from ancient times to the present, only a few people could be compared to him, and these few people were equal to him in status; there was no one who surpassed him.

Therefore, in a very short time, he was highly valued by Wang Xuan Jian.

After the battle to destroy Chu, Wang Xuan Jian retired to his hometown, and Han Xin, through his recommendation, entered the command of his son, Wang Ben. Although Han Xin was much younger than Wang Ben, when Wang Ben learned that Han Xin was Su Xuan's man, he immediately began to value Han Xin.

In this battle to destroy Qi, he repeatedly asked Han Xin for advice, giving him opportunities.

Back then, in the battle of Daliang, Su Xuan had left a deep impression on Wang Ben. At first, when Su Xuan came to the military camp, Wang Ben was dismissive, thinking he was a swindler playing god. It wasn't until the battle of Daliang ended that Su Xuan's strength completely overturned the impression in his heart. From then on, he regarded Su Xuan as a celestial being.

Since Han Xin was Su Xuan's man and had been highly valued by his father, he clearly had real talent.

Since he had a background and ability, Wang Ben did not mind promoting Han Xin.

Su Xuan, who was in seclusion, naturally did not know that Han Xin's fate had changed significantly because of him.

When he came out of seclusion, the first thing he heard was the news of Qi's destruction.

The Qin State destroyed Qi without much effort.

After all, even the hardest bone to chew, the Chu State, had been gnawed down by the Qin State, so what was a mere Qi State?

With the destruction of Qi, the six Shandong states had all become a thing of the past.

Six Kings finished, four seas unified!

It's just unknown if there will be "Shushan is bare, Afang emerges" later!

On the Ba Bridge, as the captives from Qi were escorted to Xianyang, the descendants and nobles of the six Shandong states all began to live in Xianyang, and Xianyang City could be considered to have gathered many talents.

Afterward, it took some time.

Once the turmoil of destroying Qi had settled down.

Ying Zheng finally began to deal with more important matters.

A new world, a new atmosphere. *** ### CHAPTER 662

Now that they had entered a new era, how to govern this brand-new nation was also a problem.

However, for Ying Zheng, no matter how many problems were in front of him, he never felt troubled, simply because he had already realized his first-stage ambition.

This first-stage ambition was what he had said when he went to Xinzheng privately to meet Han Fei.

To complete "the unification of the Nine Provinces and the same customs throughout the six directions"!

Next, he only needed to stabilize this brand-new dynasty before he could begin to implement his second-stage ambition.

The second-stage ambition arose only after Ying Zheng met with Su Xuan and learned the true face of the world from Su Xuan's mouth.

Beyond the Nine Provinces, there were still Nine Provinces.

Now, the Qin State had destroyed the six states and unified the world, bringing the Nine Provinces under the Qin State. Because of his cultivation, Ying Zheng felt younger and more energetic, so he inevitably wanted to peek at the world beyond the Nine Provinces.

Of course, all of this had to wait until the general trend of the world stabilized.

Almost every day, the Qin court was noisy. Regarding how to govern this brand-new nation, the many ministers of the Qin State were extremely unfamiliar, so they expressed their own opinions and voiced their views.

With their arguments, new decrees were issued from Xianyang one after another.

Among them, Su Xuan also put forward some suggestions.

That was, for certain decrees that were hard to decide, they could first designate a place as a pilot to conduct a trial. If the result of the trial was good, it could be promoted to all parts of the world; conversely, it could be abolished.

This could effectively reduce the impact caused by erroneous decrees.

Of course, because Su Xuan knew nothing about governing a country, he only put forward some suggestions according to his own views.

Compared to helping Ying Zheng govern this brand-new nation, another matter made him care even more.

Back then, before he went to the Daoist School to pay a visit, he had given Yan Fei and Moon Goddess two tasks, letting them follow the clues to find certain things.

Not long after the world was unified, they returned to the Yin-Yang School one after another and brought two things to Su Xuan.

These were two boxes that looked similar on the outside; the only difference was that the front of the boxes had star decorations, and their star charts were completely different.

With these two boxes in hand, Su Xuan already had three bronze boxes.

Added to the Qin State's Canglong Canglong Qisu bronze box that he could ask Ying Zheng for at any time, he could be considered to have collected four boxes, and he was not far from completely collecting the Canglong Canglong Qisu. *** ### CHAPTER 663: A Conspiracy from the Net!
