Silent silence falls on this land as the sunset falls.
There had just been a fight here, or rather a one-sided massacre.
The entire city wall was covered with corpses. Apart from the Qin soldiers in black armor, it seemed that there was no one else here.
Meng Ao stood on the city wall, looking at the setting sun.
This was the fourth day in Korea. It took four days to capture Chenggao (also known as Hulao), which was quite fast.
It was impossible for 30,000 Qin soldiers to capture cities quietly and silently like the 10,000 led by Wang He.
Moreover, Han was much stronger than the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Although it had little development under the power of Qin for many years, it was still a dominant country in its time. It was almost impossible for Meng Ao to accomplish the feat of destroying the country in one day.
Meng Aocai heard the news, and Wang He conquered twelve cities in Dongzhou in one day, thus destroying the country.
It seems that after this war, Wang He will probably be promoted to the rank of Great Minister, in charge of the military and political affairs of Qin, and reach the pinnacle of power in one fell swoop.
This is a position that Meng Ao has been trying to reach for many years but has never been able to reach.
After all, there were countless talented people in that era, and Meng Ao was just a splash that could not create a big wave.
However, even though he knew the gap between the two countries, Meng Ao still couldn't let it go.
After all, most of the 10,000 Qin Tieying elite soldiers were with him. Taking Chenggao in four days might have been quite impressive in the past, but with the example of Wang He, it seemed unremarkable.
"You said, Lord Xinling didn't return to defend after hearing the news?"
Meng Ao spoke to the scout, his tiger eyes flashing.
"General, yes. I learned this after several of my brothers were killed in Zhao. It seems Zhao is planning to aid Lord Xinling in his attack on Qin."
The scout looked exhausted and had to run for several days before catching up with the team.
Five people had sent the message at once, and he was the last one to do so. Since Meng Ao still hadn't heard the message, that meant the other four were probably gone.
"I understand. You can go down and rest."
Meng Ao knew what Xinling Jun was planning.
Want to gamble on national destiny? Then gamble. Let's see whether the six states in Shandong will have a stronger national destiny, or whether the Great Qin will swallow up all the mountains and rivers.
"Send the general's order, break camp, raise the army, and capture the Han capital, Xinzheng, in ten days!"
"Send the order..."
"pass……"
The Qin soldiers who had not slept a wink in the city crawled up like Shuras. To them, the general's orders were everything. They did not know what tiredness was on the battlefield. All they knew was killing, killing, and killing.
Meng Ao knew that this would be basically impossible to achieve, but he still had to order the troops to march.
According to the information sent by Wang He a while ago, he estimated that he would have to pass through Han to attack Wei.
But is the Tao so easy to borrow?
How can you borrow money safely if you don't scare them off?
Now that the order has been issued, no one except him knows whether it is true or not. During this period, the route of the raid will remain unchanged. When the Han army has fully returned to defend, then it will be time to use the route to attack Wei.
As for whether it will succeed? The current King of Han, King Huanhui, has been forced by Qin's power to betray the six kingdoms more than once.
With this victory, the world will belong to Qin in no time!
The cold wind was still blowing, but unfortunately Lu Buwei could not feel the so-called cold. He felt that the blood in his body was boiling hot, like boiling water.
On the desk in front of him was a military order, an order written on silk paper and blood as ink.
"Today, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is defeated. The situation has changed. The tide of events is turning in my favor. Therefore, I order Lü Zuoshuchang to receive this order and march into Wei immediately."
How could he not be excited?
Make great achievements now!
If he wins this battle, Cai Ze will retreat, and he, Lu Buwei, will become the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and be granted a title of nobility in one fell swoop!
The smell of conflict on the border became stronger and stronger, and both Wang Jian and Meng Wu seemed to smell the scent of blood.
This bloodiness aroused the wildness in their blood. The two of them wanted to go out and attack Zhao more than once to let them know what the Qin Tiger Guards were.
But they can't.
Now that Qin was locked in a desperate battle elsewhere, they naturally couldn't act rashly. If they made some small moves, Xianyang wouldn't blame them, but if they did something bigger, like taking their troops out to cause trouble, they would be in big trouble.
Today, the restlessness in their hearts was suppressed.
In front of him was also a military order, but the difference was that this one was sent by Bie Gong, not Wang He.
"Now that General Wang He has conquered Eastern Zhou, Lord Xinling's intentions are unclear, and he is very likely to launch a counterattack against Qin.
"I ask the two generals to follow the king's order. If Lord Xinling attacks Qin, you can fight if you can, but if you cannot, you can retreat. I allow the two generals to retreat to Hangu Pass."
They had heard of the name of Xinling Jun.
Now, facing such a famous person, they really don't have much confidence.
Not to mention that there is Wuxiang Jun Le Cheng on the opposite side, and even Xinping Jun Lian Po is very likely to suppress Qin.
No matter how great the achievements of these two young generals will be in the future, they are still not enough in the eyes of these three people.
"Wang Jian, what do you think?"
After all, Meng Wu had Meng Ao's support behind him, and he had entered the court early on, so he knew what Wang He's feat of defeating the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in one day was.
Moreover, as Wang He's adjutant, Wang Jian would be trained as his confidant in the future.
Now that it was just a matter of marching deployment, it was natural for the young rising star to speak first. This was considered as giving him face and status.
Although Wang Jian was somewhat excited, he still had some composure after all. He also responded to Meng Wurang's identity and said in a deep voice:
“Since that is the king’s intention, we should naturally fight and retreat at the same time.
"And judging by Lord Xinling's actions over the past few days, he will most likely join forces with Zhao to attack Great Qin. We don't have many generals on the frontier, and while most of them are Tiger Guards, I'm afraid they're still no match for the three over there."
"I understand. Then I will issue the military order now and have my men prepare for battle."
