Chapter 154 Bai Qi
King Yu brought the Nine Cauldrons into Luoyang and killed the kings of Qin and Han in battle.
These major events stirred up endless turmoil in the land of China.
The King of Han died in Shangyuan, and the trembling people of Han collected the bones in front of the people of Luo. A large number of ministers and nobles loyal to the King of Han were killed, which caused chaos in the Kingdom of Han. The already weak Kingdom of Han declined completely.
Both Qin and Wei were eyeing it covetously, and even Zhao was drooling over Han's land.
When Emperor Nuo heard the news that Luo Zai had killed King Han again, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
In his opinion, the seven kings in the world are all traitors and villains. "Okay!
You are worthy of being my supporter, and worthy of being the descendant of the King Su."
King Dang of Qin had no son, so his half-brother Ji succeeded him to the throne. Under the system of Qin law and with the support of the clan, the transition of power was relatively smooth.
The new King Ji of Qin continued to adhere to Qin law and Qin's previous hegemonic path, revealing his great ambition and arrogance.
However, facing the powerful Prince Zai of Luo, King Ji of Qin strongly realized that top-notch generals were what Qin needed most now.
His brother was a rare warrior in the world, but he was slain at the hands of Prince Luo along with an army of tens of thousands.
If this situation is not changed, how many losses can Qin State endure even though it is a powerful country?
So he issued a call for talented people throughout the country.
Qin's orders to seek talents have always been very effective, because Qin people basically serve in the army and farm. All the talents in Qin come from the six kingdoms, especially Wei and Chu, which can be regarded as Qin's two major talent bases.
A young man with a pale face came to Qin.
His face was very ordinary. The young master who recommended him praised him highly, "Your Majesty, this great sage is called Bai Qi, who has the ability to defeat ten thousand enemies. Even if Sun Wu were resurrected, he would be no more than this."
Qin Wangji, however, felt that this young man was somewhat annoying, and it was hard to explain why.
Only those who can see through people's hearts can see into the depths of his eyes, where there is indifference. This is an indifferent person, and there are not many things worth his care.
Being ruthless makes one indifferent, but being indifferent is accompanied by a smile, which is why people find it annoying.
King Qin Ji understood that anyone who made him hate someone must be a talented person, because he would simply ignore ordinary people who were truly mediocre.
"Sir, why do you teach me?"
King Ji of Qin was curious about what Bai Qi could do to prove his worth.
Bai Qi said calmly: "I know that the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty all had the great wish to unify the world.
Who is the biggest obstacle to your unification of the world?
I believe you are very clear that it is Luo State.
Especially Prince Zai of Luo State, who was extremely brave and had outstanding prestige.
My king, there are many conflicts among the nations and they cannot unite.
The Qin State made friends with distant countries and attacked nearby ones, so it could deal with two or three countries with ease. However, if Prince Zai of Luo State called on the six countries to unite, it would definitely succeed.
By then, the Qin State will definitely be in crisis.
I came to Qin just to face Prince Zai, this is what I can do for you, Your Majesty."
If the Qin State wanted to unify the world, the toughest bone to chew was the Luo State.
Bai Qi said that he would remove this nail for the Qin State.
Qin Wangji stood up, looked at Bai Qi deeply, and then said in a loud voice: "You are a man of great talent, but I can only reward you with gold, silver, jade, mansions, fertile land, official titles and fiefdoms.
I want to ask you, is there anything else you need?"
Bai Qi bowed slightly and said, "I only need your trust."
When a general is away from the king, he may not obey the orders of the king, especially when facing Crown Prince Zai.
Qin Wangji said immediately: "I understand that you will bring back the news of victory."
The future was determined with just a few words between the monarch and his subjects, and they made promises to each other. As for who would break their promise, no one knew.
The eyes of the world were focused on Luo State. All the kings felt strange in their hearts, but they calmed down when they thought of the tragic deaths of the two kings of Qin and Han.
Instead, they turned their attention to the State of Qin. After all, it was the State of Qin that really took away the King Ding of Yongzhou.
Although Prince Luo said that the King of Qin was a thief, he was a special thief.
How did the Three Kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei come about?
No one will forget.
He who steals a hook will be executed, and he who steals a country will become a prince!
Stole the world?
Isn’t he the Son of Heaven?
This was a stress response caused by fear. There was already hope that Qin would unify the world. They were sailing against the current and would either advance or retreat. Even if the Zhou Dynasty's mandate of heaven was still there, they had to fight and could not just surrender.
This is the real thought of the King of Qin, that is why he attaches so much importance to the sudden appearance of Bai Qi. Not every general in this world has the courage to confront the State of Luo, especially the world-famous and unparalleled brave Prince Zai of Luo!
Luo Zai's killing spree temporarily calmed down the world, but the Qin State now had a strong foundation, and it also had three experience babies from Wei, Han and Chu to suck blood, so it recovered quickly.
The states of Han and Wei soon could not bear it any longer, especially Han, which had already been hit hard by Luo Zai, and then the chaos in the country weakened it a bit. Now it was blackmailed by Qin, and no matter how thick its blood was, it could not withstand it.
If Luo Zai had not killed the King of Qin before, indirectly helping Han to take back the important military town that blocked Qin, Han would have been in danger of destruction at any time.
Under this high-pressure situation, Han and Wei once again united and assembled heavy troops to jointly deal with Qin's increasingly fierce offensive.
The Qin army of 250,000 faced the Han and Wei armies of 250,000.
This was the first time Bai Qi appeared before the world.
Faced with the unknown Bai Qi, Han and Wei suffered a great defeat, an extremely tragic defeat.
More than 200,000 people died on the battlefield, and this was an extremely rare war of annihilation.
The allied forces of Han and Wei were trapped in a waterless land, and eventually the entire army collapsed and had no way to escape, and all died in battle.
This disastrous defeat was still acceptable to the State of Wei, but it was almost a disaster for the State of Han, which had to cede land to the State of Qin in exchange for peace.
In fact, Qin had the ability to conquer Han, but King Ji of Qin knew that conquering Han would surely cause fear among the other five countries, so it would be beneficial to leave Han in a half-dead state.
Although the country was saved, Han had completely lost the strength to compete with the five kingdoms of Qin, Chu, Qi, Zhao and Wei, and was even inferior to Yan.
The King of Wei was not a strong-willed leader. He was scared away by Luo Zai in the past. Now, facing Bai Qi who killed more than 200,000 people without mercy, he was naturally even more afraid. He quickly offered the city to Qin and asked for peace.
Luo State.
Luo Zai looked solemnly at the information in his hand. It contained the tactical process and strategic arrangements of Qin's attack on Han and Wei. Looking at those exquisite arrangements, his hair stood on end.
"Bai Qi."
Luo Zai recited the name, "Qin is such a powerful country, and it actually got such a talented general. It seems that destiny has really come to Qin."
If a country is compared to a person, national strength is its strong physique and generals are its sharp fists and feet. Only when the two are combined can they sweep the world.
Luo Zai had a premonition that this was his destined enemy.
In fact, the biggest reason why Bai Qi wanted to join Qin as a general was that Qin was sharp and dared to be an enemy of Luo State.
He is a rare military strategist and war god, with high eyesight and self-conceit of being invincible. He wants to compete with Luo Zai, the general who shocked the world, to prove his own military skills.
If it was the previous Luo Zai, he might not be as good as Bai Qi.
But after this series of major events, and the favor of King Yu Jiuding for the guardian Luo Zai, Luo Zai's attributes also saw a significant increase.
【Luo Zai: (30th generation grandson)
Ability attributes:
Power struggle: 80; Governing the country: 73; Controlling people: 84; Command: 92; Military force: 96; Military strategy: 82; Cunning words: 78; Academics: 73; Charm: 93. 】
A command level of 92 allowed Luo Zai to have the ability to lead large-scale military operations, making up for his shortcomings and bringing his military strength to 96, which could basically be called inhuman.
If he could go back a few years ago, Luo Zai would kill King Dang of Qin and King Bo of Han more cleanly and efficiently.
After defeating the coalition forces of Han and Wei, Bai Qi launched another offensive against the State of Chu.
All three wars were won, and for a time, Qin continued to seize land from the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu.
Faced with the aggressive Qin State, the three kingdoms naturally wanted to resist, but Qin State was very strategic, and the cities it ceded were always right on the bottom line of the three kingdoms.
Five cities are ceded today, and ten cities tomorrow. Just when we thought the border was stable, Bai Qi arrived with the Qin army.
In wars, they only lost but never won. Not to mention the gap in national strength between the two sides, just the ability of the generals to command troops, the generals of the three kingdoms of Chu, Han and Wei were completely toys in Bai Qi's hands.
Until the Qin army besieged Luoyi, they seemed to wake up from a dream and remembered Luozai. The envoys of the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu came to Luo with valuable gifts.
