Chapter 659: The Six Kings are finished, the four seas are unified!
In the original history, the Qin Guo's destruction of Qi could be described as extremely easy; they didn't even really fight the Qi army before the State of Qi surrendered first. Because the State of Qi surrendered without the baptism of war, it harbored many people with ulterior motives. Once the world fell into chaos, these people who had not been affected immediately became a hidden danger.
But the current world was different.
Because the speed at which the Qin Guo destroyed the five states of Shandong was too fast, Wang Jian of Qi had not yet lost all his resolve. Even though the Qin Guo bribed Hou Sheng to try to persuade Wang Jian of Qi to surrender, Wang Jian of Qi had always been obedient to his uncle Hou Sheng in everything, but he did not agree to this matter.
Not only did he not agree, he also revealed an incomparably resolute intention.
He immediately conscripted the nation's army to resist the Qin army's attack.
Although Hou Sheng was the Chancellor of the State of Qi, he had not reached the point of being able to cover the sky with one hand and interfere with Wang Jian of Qi's decisions. Facing Wang Jian of Qi's decision, he could only sigh secretly, while secretly writing multiple letters to the Qin Guo, selling out the State of Qi's intelligence to the Qin Guo.
He knew better than anyone the power of the Qin Guo. The other five states of Shandong had been destroyed by the Qin Guo one after another. The State of 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 contend with the Qin Guo?
One must know that back when the five states formed an alliance, the five countries joined forces and still were not the Qin Guo's match, let alone now that only the State of Qi remained.
Wang Jian of Qi's move was undoubtedly throwing an egg against a rock, seeking his own death.
Rather than resisting the Qin Guo, it would be better to surrender voluntarily and peacefully be a wealthy man.
Unfortunately, Wang Jian of Qi was resolute, and Hou Sheng could not persuade him.
Although Wang Jian of Qi was seeking his own death, Hou Sheng did not want to die like this, so he 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 the State of Qi was destroyed with such treacherous sycophants. He handed the intelligence in his hand to a person in front of him and asked, "Han Xin, in your opinion, how should we destroy the State of Qi?"
Han Xin had originally been introduced by Su Xuan and was able to enter Wang Jian's command. He was skilled in military strategy. Even though he was still very young, he was, after all, the historically famous "Military Immortal." One must know that in the original history, from ancient times to the present, only a handful of people could be mentioned in the same breath as 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 Jian.
After the battle to destroy Chu, Wang Jian retired to his hometown. 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 person, he immediately began to highly value Han Xin.
This time, in the battle to destroy Qi, he repeatedly asked Han Xin for advice, giving him opportunities.
Back in that battle at Daliang, Su Xuan had left an extremely deep impression on Wang Ben. Initially, when Su Xuan came to the military camp, Wang Ben thought nothing of him, feeling that the other party was a charlatan playing at being a god. It was not until the battle at Daliang ended that Su Xuan's power 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 person and was also highly valued by his father, he clearly had true talent and learning.
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 undergone a huge change because of him.
When he came out of seclusion, the first thing he heard was the news of the State of Qi's destruction.
The Qin Guo destroyed Qi without spending much effort.
After all, even the hardest bone to chew, the State of Chu, had been gnawed down by the Qin Guo; what did a mere State of Qi count for?
With the demise of the State of Qi, the six states of Shandong all became a thing of the past.
The Six Kings are finished, the four seas are unified!
It was just unknown if there would be "Mount Shushan is bare, the Afang Palace emerges" later on!
On the Baqiao Bridge, as the captives from the State of Qi were escorted to Xianyang, the princes and nobles of the six states of Shandong all began to live in Xianyang. Xianyang City could be considered to have become filled with talent.
Afterward, it took some time.
Once the storm of destroying Qi settled down.
Ying Zheng finally began to deal with more important matters.
A new world, a new atmosphere. ===== CHAPTER 661 =====
