General Qin

As the news of the Qin army's capture of Wangxian City and the capture of the Korean king and his son spread, a huge panic arose throughout the Haidong Peninsula.

Jishi Korea is not only the most powerful country in Haidong, but also an ancient country with a long heritage.

Since the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Jizi took the survivors of the Yin Shang to Haidong to establish the country, first the Chen Kingdom, and then Korea. North Korea cannot compare with Jishi North Korea in terms of state.

In Haidong, he is a living fossil-like existence, and has always been admired by other barbarians.

But now that such a big country on the east coast has been destroyed by the Qin army in a short period of time, who is not afraid?

The first to bear the brunt were the barbarians from various tribes who were invited by Ji Zhun and led their troops to Wangxian City for support.

"Isn't Ji's Wangxian City known as the largest city in Haidong? Why was it captured by the Qin army so quickly?"

The leaders of the various tribes looked at each other with horror in their eyes.

The Qin army was an outsider and had defeated them in the Battle of Liaodong. Naturally, they were full of hostility and wanted to join forces with the Koreans to drive the Qin people out of Haidong.

But I didn't expect that North Korea would be defeated so quickly in the face of the Qin army's attack. They were killed by the Qin people before they could come to support them. Not only was the royal city captured, but even the King of North Korea and his prince were captured. Declared dead.

How can we continue to fight in this situation?

"The Qin people are too strong, let's run!"

Immediately there were princes from Buyeo and Shinban in the north who wanted to retreat.

At this time Canghaijun stood up.

He is a middle-aged man with a strong build and braided hair and tattoos. He is the leader of a large tribe in Xunba and is quite prestigious in Haidong.

"The Qin people have always been cruel and greedy. They previously robbed us of the land in Liaodong and killed our Haidong warriors. Now they have launched a large army to invade our Haidong and destroyed North Korea. According to the Qin people's behavior, do you think they will stop here? ?”

"Now that all the tribes in Haidong are united, we still have the ability to resist the Qin army. Once everyone retreats, they will be defeated by the Qin people one by one."

"Chiefs, if you don't want your people to become slaves of the Qin people, and you don't want your heads to be chopped off by the Qin people in exchange for their titles, you can't leave! Only by uniting together can we defeat the Qin army!"

Lord Canghai is worthy of being a good friend of Zhang Liang. He clearly explained the stakes in a few words. In addition, he was very famous in Haidong, which really allowed the princes and ministers to unite to fight against the Qin Dynasty again. thoughts.

It's just that Cang Haijun's plan came to nothing with the arrival of several North Korean doctors.

"King Jifu of North Korea secretly communicated with the assassin Zhang Liang and helped him plot to assassinate the Emperor of Qin, so Da Qin raised an army to kill him in order to avenge his country."

"General Li said that when Da Qin sends troops this time, he will only kill the assassins and accomplices King Chaos and Lord Canghai, and the rest will be innocent."

"If you offer Lord Canghai's head, you will get all the land and tribes of Lord Canghai, and you will also get the rewards of Great Qin, gold and silk, everything you want!"

Seeing that the capital was captured by the Qin army in one day, these North Korean officials were so frightened that their souls trembled.

Their feudal clansmen were manipulated by the Qin army again. In order to save their lives and families, these officials immediately turned into loyal "surenders to the Qin Party" and boldly came to these places where the Haidong barbarians gathered to promote General Li's mean.

The people of Qin want Lord Canghai’s head!

For Li Xin, the destruction of Jishi Korea was a great achievement of destroying the country, but destroying the country and capturing the king was only half of his mission.

It was not only the Jishi North Korea who colluded with the traitor Zhang Liang to assassinate him, but also Chang Canghaijun, the Lord of Xinjiang who provided the warriors.

From the emperor's point of view, maybe he hated Lord Canghai more than he hated the King of Korea, so Li Xin had to capture Lord Canghai in order to complete all the tasks during this expedition.

Canghaijun is not easy to catch.

Compared with Jishi Korea, which had a capital, a territory, a royal family, and an ancestral temple, the Qin army could directly attack Wangxian City and destroy it all at once.

The Xun and Qi are barbarian tribes. Although they have also built some settlements and cities, they are not indispensable. Under the coercion of the Qin army, they can abandon those settlements and retreat with their tribesmen into the mountains and forests to fight guerrillas.

At that time, the Qin army will be in trouble.

Although the power of these barbarians is weaker than that of Jishi Korea, they are actually more difficult to deal with.

In view of this situation, Li Xin made changes in his next strategy. While using a large army to oppress, he sent envoys to divide the barbarians internally, hoping to make them kill each other.

It would be best to let the barbarians offer Lord Canghai's head themselves.

It's a pity that Mr. Canghai is a barbarian with ability and brains.

The leader of the Han Dynasty was very smart. Seeing that the situation was not good for him, he suddenly got up and beheaded the Korean doctors in the tent. He also warned other barbarian rulers that they had killed the envoys sent by the Qin people, and the Qin army would never stop, so that they should not be deceived by the Qin people.

Seeing Lord Canghai rise up and kill the envoy of the Qin army, the barbarian rulers were frightened on the spot and did not dare to object, but something different shone in everyone's eyes.

What a great Canghaijun!

No wonder he kept encouraging the chiefs of various tribes to resist the Qin army. It turned out to be because he participated in the murder of the Qin emperor. The Qin army attacked Haidong for revenge!

The Qin army was not prepared to destroy these innocent tribes at all.

With the truth that those North Korean doctors spent their lives to clarify, after these barbarian princes figured out the situation, of course no one was willing to serve as a gunman for Mr. Canghai.

They communicated with each other privately and planned to cut off Lord Canghai's head together and offer it to the Qin people in exchange for peace and rewards.

Mr. Canghai has been living in Haidong for many years, and he knows very well the virtues of these barbarian princes. As long as there is a chance, his allies will definitely chop off his head and send it to the Qin army.

He temporarily frightened the other barbarian princes by killing the envoys of the Qin army. After returning to his camp, Mr. Canghai immediately ran south with his elite men, not even the tribesmen he left in the north. He acted extremely decisive.

"Hmph, your reaction is quite fast. In this land east of the sea, I want to see where you can run!"

After Li Xin learned the news, his face was indifferent.

He sent people to appease the barbarian rulers, and left 10,000 people to guard the North Korean territory to maintain stability in the rear. Then he took generals such as Fan Kuai and Cao Shen and led 10,000 Qin troops south to pursue Lord Canghai.

The southern part of the peninsula was originally the land of the ancient Chen Kingdom established by Jizi after he led the Yin Shang survivors across the sea. Later, as the Chen Kingdom moved north to the Datong River Basin and became Korea, the original Chen Kingdom was occupied by the Koreans.

There are three types of Han, namely Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan.

They are a tribal alliance, consisting of a total of seventy-eight small countries (tribes). Among them, Mahan is the strongest. Because it occupies the land of the ancient Chen Kingdom, all Korean tribes support King Mahan as King Chen, who is the king of the southern part of the peninsula. The greatest force.

Mr. Canghai's trip was to seek refuge with King Ma Han.

Not to mention, this King Ma Han is also a loyal person. Faced with Cang Haijun's offer of refuge, he directly accepted it.

"I'm going to make peace with the Qin people and let them let go."

As the co-owner of seventy-eight countries, King Mahan has always been touted by his subordinates, thinking that he is the strongest king in the entire southern part of the peninsula.

He felt that although the Qin army was powerful, they should always give him face. After all, he was the king of the Koreans!

Mahan's envoy brought some pickled fish, seashells and other gifts to the camp where the Qin army had just set up.

"Mahan?"

"What kind of country is this that dares to let me let Lord Canghai go?"

Qin General Li Xin looked shocked after hearing the request of the so-called Mahan envoy.

If the reputation of Ji's Korea spread far and wide in China, then Xie and Fuyu were also famous in Yan due to their proximity to Liaodong. As for the three Korean tribes in the southern part of the peninsula, the Central Plains people have never heard of them at all, and they have no idea which small and remote country they are.

"As long as your army lets Lord Canghai go, my king is willing to give you five thousand pickled fish and two hundred pieces of pottery as gifts."

The envoy of Mahan had seen the soldiers of the Qin army on the way here, so he spoke very politely and gave King Mahan a gift that he was proud of.

There was a dead silence in the military tent, and then Fan Kuai and other Qin generals burst out laughing.

"My emperor offered a reward of thousands of gold to Lord Canghai. What a piece of shit like you, King Han, you actually offered 5,000 pickled fish and 200 pieces of pottery. Hahaha, who are you looking down on?"

Amid the laughter, Messenger Mahan felt extremely insulted.

He wanted to say some harsh words, but was immediately shocked by the cold words of Qin Army General Li Xin.

"Let your king deliver Lord Canghai's head within three days, otherwise I will destroy your country, capture your king, and flatten this land east of the sea."

Li Xin had an indifferent expression as he chased Cang Haijun all the way south. He was already impatient and naturally had no good feelings toward such a small country that he had never heard of.

The messenger of Mahan returned tremblingly, and when he told Li Xin what he said, King Mahan immediately became furious.

He roared angrily: "The people of Qin are so arrogant that they dare to threaten my king!"

Lord Canghai sighed: "The Qin people are so powerful that even the Ji family was destroyed by them. Although you Han people are powerful, you are no match for the Qin army. I caused this disaster, so let me solve it. Han Why don't you kill me and use my head to quell this disaster?"

King Ma Han has inherited the legacy of the late king since he was born. He is the leader of the Korean people. He has never been threatened by anyone, and his heart has long been full of anger.

Now he was provoked by Cang Haijun's words again. In anger, King Ma Han ignored the strength of the Qin army and shouted: "Don't be afraid, no one can take away the people I want to protect!"

"Come on, let the Qin general Li Xin come! Our seventy-eight kingdoms of Korea are here, let me see how he can conquer them!"

Three days later, Li Xin, who had not received Canghaijun's head, officially issued an order to attack Mahahan.

During these three days, King Ma Han summoned the military strength of more than fifty recent Korean countries, reaching a total of nine thousand people.

These nine thousand Korean warriors wearing animal skins and felt, holding a few bronze weapons, and a large number of wooden and stone weapons, started a great battle with the 10,000 fully armed Qin army.

In half a day, the battle came to an end.

Three thousand Koreans were killed and more than four thousand were captured. The rest fled.

Seeing that a small country in Haidong dared to protect the criminals and gathered people to resist, Qin general Li Xin became furious.

While he sent Cao Shen to lead his elite troops to continue chasing and killing the fleeing Lord Canghai, he ordered Fan Kuai to lead his troops to annihilate the Three Han Kingdoms.

Within half a month, the Qin army destroyed seventy-eight Korean states and occupied the three Korean lands.

When the black Qin flag fluttered in the wind in the southern part of the peninsula.

Qin general Cao Shen also captured the fleeing King Ma Han and Lord Cang Hai on a seashore.

"General Li, please spare my life."

King Ma Han was brought to Li Xin and immediately cried bitterly and begged for his life.

Li Xin shook his head and ordered: "Take it down and send it to Xianyang with the King of Korea to make the emperor happy."

After the crying King Ma Han was escorted away, Li Xin looked at a bloody head again.

"General, this Lord Canghai is very brave. He refused to be captured without mercy. He killed three of my soldiers in a row and suffered more than ten wounds all over his body. In the end, when he saw that he was about to be captured by us, he even wiped his neck with his own hands."

Cao Shen said a little embarrassed.

Li Xin nodded and said, "If you die, just die. Just catch it."

"His body was chopped into meat paste to shock Haidong. After the head was pickled, it was sent to Xianyang together with Ji Zhun's remains."

After Cao Shen took the order and left, Li Xin stood alone on Ma Hanguo's sacrificial platform.

The wind blew the cloak behind him and Li Xin looked at the west with an expressionless face.

Then, the corners of his mouth moved, and a smile filled the air.

"Now I have destroyed North Korea, captured Lord Canghai on the seashore, and completely destroyed the three Koreas. I have lived up to the emperor's decree."

"Zhao Tuo, when I get back, I will drink and sing with you and talk about the past."

…

The news of the great victory in Haidong, after thousands of miles of galloping horses and relays, was returned to the imperial capital of Xianyang in October of the 30th year of Qin Shihuang.

This is the New Year of the Qin calendar, which is a day of peace and joy.

A few days ago, news came from Hexi that the Qin general Wang Li had defeated the Yuezhi and killed the Yuezhi king. It was already a double happiness.

News of Li Xin's great victory in Haidong and the destruction of countless kingdoms came back, which directly brought a triple joy to the First Emperor, which immediately caused a huge sensation in the entire Xianyang.

When Wu Gong Hou Zhao Tuo got the first-hand news from Taiwei Commander Shi Shejian, he was shocked for a long time.

"General Li, the emperor asked you to fight against Korea. How did you unify the peninsula?"

"Book of the Later Han·Biographies of Dongyi": There are three types of Han: one is called Mahahan, the other is called Chenhan, the third is called Bianchen... All the seventy-eight countries... are all ancient Chen countries. Ma Han is the largest, and they jointly established their species as King Chen, with the capital of Muzhi country, and the territory of the three Han kings. All the kings there were originally from the Mahan race.
