The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 675: Capture the Imperial Capital of Qin

Ambition and dreams have always been the driving force for human progress. At this moment, Lai Ai made up her mind to fulfill her responsibility as a great Xia Erlang.

But here comes the question, how to kill Qin Zheng?

He was just an eunuch in Mingxin Palace, and he kept a low profile on weekdays. He kept circling around Zhao Ji and couldn't get in touch with Qin Zheng at all. And now that Qin Zheng doubted his own life experience, he almost never came to Mingxin Palace to pay his respects. Even if he came and seized the opportunity, Lai Ai couldn't do it rashly. How could he escape after killing someone?

You still have to find a way that doesn't involve yourself.

Poison?

No, the previous Emperor Qin Huang was poisoned to death, and Qin Zheng didn't eat and drink indiscriminately. It's not so easy to poison him. After all the calculations, there is no suitable way.

Just when Lai Ai was helpless, an opportunity came.

It turned out that it was Qin Zheng who was about to escape from Qin Capital and go to Kunlun County in the west. Even if he was reluctant, he had to tell Zhao Ji face to face, since he was the Queen Mother after all.

After hearing Qin Zheng's reason for coming, Zhao Ji's heart trembled.

Although the harem has always rumored that Xia Guo's soldiers and horses are coming, and they are about to approach the capital of Qin, but Zhao Ji has been in the harem for many years, and she doesn't know the dangers outside. drive it out. A concubine like her, who is locked in the harem, has no worries about food and clothing, and doesn't know the suffering outside.

At this time, the emperor was about to abandon the palace and flee, and Zhao Ji also realized that the rumors were not rumors, and Qin might really be doomed.

Does my child still have a chance to be emperor?

Zhao Ji was full of worries, and then nodded in agreement with Qin Zheng. When Qin Zheng left, she immediately ordered the maids and internal officials in the palace to pack up.

Lai Ai's eyes brightened, and she was even more convinced that it was time to act, and at the same time seized the opportunity.

After Qin Zheng left the palace, although he was guarded by the imperial guards, it was definitely not as safe as staying in the palace. As long as he found out Qin Zheng's whereabouts and location, as well as the guards around him, he could assassinate him. However, for the sake of safety, one must not do it alone, and must seek expert assistance.

So Lao Ai immediately wrote back to Wang Dazhi.

Within a few days, the reply letter returned to Xiao Rui.

At this moment, Xiao Rui's Zhonglu army entered Xianwang County and was resisted by the Qin army. Meng Tian used food as a bargaining chip to attract a large number of poor people to join the army, but unfortunately, the untrained people were not Daxia soldiers at all. Although they fought fiercely against their opponents, they couldn't stop Daxia's progress.

In less than ten days, the troops will be at the capital of Qin.

However, Xiao Rui was taken aback when he received the letter from Lai Ai at this time, and then smiled and said to Zhang Liang and the others: "Look, Qin Zheng is about to abandon Qin Capital and flee westward!"

Xiao Rui forwarded the letter to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang read it and handed it to Jia Xu, and said, "As expected! The western counties of the capital of Qin are his last reliance. It is impossible for him to stick to it until he is at the end of his rope. It belongs to the capital of Qin. This Emperor Qin is still holding on to hope, hoping for a turnaround!"

turnaround?

There is no chance of a turning point. Xiao Rui divided his troops into eight groups, with a total of 1.6 million troops to attack the capital of Qin. Up to now, with the internal turmoil in the Yuan Dynasty, the Dongqi area has no worries. The subsequent 400,000 troops also entered Qin through the three passes of the Qinling Mountains. Responsible for suppressing and cleaning up the counties that have been taken, and avoiding fire behind them.

Coupled with the logistics personnel, Daxia mobilized a total of 2.5 million troops to attack Qin this time, and almost 70% of Daxia's troops were mobilized!

In the past, when Xia Guo did not capture the Anbei and Anxi regions, the two million troops were all the troops of the Great Xia.

With such a huge force, with the help of excellent equipment and the right time, how could it be impossible to take down the capital of Qin.

The disasters during the Little Ice Age in the past few years have greatly weakened the strength of the Qin State. In fact, this is the main reason why the Great Xia was able to defeat the Qin State.

At this time, Jia Xu put down the letter and said with a smile: "Qin Zhengxi fled to the west, and our beheading plan has begun to be implemented. With the support of Lai Ai and Chuan Jianguo, it is very feasible."

As top strategists, how could Zhang Liang and Jia Xu fail to figure out that Qin Zhenghui would flee west? In fact, it doesn't matter, a little bit of brain understands that Qin Zheng can't live and die with Qin Du, he will definitely run away. So as early as when Chuan Jianguo was the servant of the household department, he started to design.

That's right, it's that early, the sooner it is designed, the sooner it will not arouse suspicion!

The design method is very simple. Chuan Jianguo paid a lot of money to win over the sheriff of Kunlun County, and became the highest-level official in Qindu who took refuge in Daxia. With the help of his influence, the Mo family and the Mo organization trained dead soldiers in Kunlun County and arranged suitable identities for them. Later, with the completion of the Great Returning Pill, Xiao Rui thought twice, gritted his teeth, and offered a lot of rewards to the dead to help them break through their cultivation.

Now among the twenty loyal soldiers who are not afraid of life and death, five are in the fifth-rank realm, and the others are in the fourth-rank realm.

When Qin Zhengxi fled to Kunlun County, the governor of Kunlun County naturally had to take care of Qin Zheng's daily life, which gave the dead a chance, and with the cooperation of Lai Ai, the assassination was possible.

So Xiao Rui said to Jia Xu: "Reply to Lao Ai and tell him who to contact when he arrives in Kunlun County."

"I understand." Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled.

In the next few days, Daxia's Eighth Route soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to Qindu, and Qin Zheng also fled westward, along with the civil and military officials who fled Qindu together, all fled to Kunlun County with their families. As for officials with humble official positions, such as below the sixth rank, the army doesn't care about their life or death at all, and they can escape if they want to, and act on their own.

In this way, 80,000 troops escorted Qin Zheng to escape from Qin Capital, and the remaining troops were reserved for Meng Fang, who will live and die with Qin Capital.

Seven days later.

The Eighth Route Army had already seen the majesty of the capital city of Qin, and it was indeed majestic.

Two days later, the troops of the Eighth Route approached the city, the troops of Gan Ning and Chen Qing approached the south of the capital of Qin, the troops of Qi Jiguang and Yue Fei approached the north of the capital of Qin, and the army of the Middle Route, Li Cunxiao, Dianwei, and Yang Youji approached the east, leaving behind the capital of Qin. West let them flee.

The structure of the capitals of all countries is similar, divided into the outer city and the inner city. The scale of the capital of Qin is similar to that of the capital of Qi. Now that Meng Fangtian leads his troops to defend to the death, it may be very difficult for him to abandon the city and surrender.

So referring to the practice of the champion Hou taking down the imperial capital of Qi, Xiao Rui, the Great Xia Emperor, offered a reward in person:

Those who get the head of Mengtian will be granted the title of earl!

Those who get the head of Baimeng will be granted the title of earl!

Those who obtain the head of Bai Cang will be granted the title of Viscount!

....

The price is directly marked, and the remuneration is rich, first to create a great opportunity for Erlang of Qindu to rise to the sky in one step.

Of course, Daxia hasn’t forgotten to win over the people, as long as they take the initiative to open the city and surrender, donate new crop seeds, reward each person with ten acres of land, reduce or exempt taxes within three years, and so on.

When these news spread to the capital of Qin, the people of the Qin Kingdom talked a lot, wishing to open the city gate and take refuge in Daxia, anyway, it was the fate of the people, who was the emperor?

Facing Daxia's tricks, Meng Fangtian couldn't help but said: "My head is so valuable!"

Bai Meng also smiled, and said, "Mine is not bad either."

After the two laughed, they looked at each other and fell silent.

His Majesty has gone west, but the grown-up sons of the Bai family and the Meng family have not left. The two of them will stick to this Qin capital, even if the battle ends and the last drop of blood is shed.

After a while, Meng Tian said to Bai Meng: "Open the three city gates to the west. If the people want to leave, let them go. They are innocent, but as soldiers of the Great Qin, the Bai and Meng troops cannot escape!"

"I understand." Bai Meng nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

On the second day after the soldiers approached the city, the closed west city gate was opened to let the fleeing people leave. There were also deserters from the Bai family army and the Meng family army taking the opportunity to escape, but most of them were temporarily recruited people. The real Meng family army and Bai family army officers and soldiers did not abandon them. away from the city.

They are willing to follow their commander in chief and fight to the death for Great Qin!

Xiao Rui also saw the opponent's determination, it was basically impossible to take down Qindu without bloodshed, Zhang Liang and Jia Xu couldn't help it either. So Xiao Rui decided not to wait any longer, and attacked the city!

On the third day, Daxia soldiers and horses began to attack the city from three sides.

This time the siege was tragic, and Daxia paid a heavy price and loss, and it took a full four days to break through the outer city.

It took another three days to break through the inner city gate.

Meng Tian and Bai Meng died in battle, and the other generals and soldiers defending the city fought to the end. The 40,000 Meng family army and the 30,000 Bai family army were completely wiped out, defending the capital of Qin with their lives.

In order to capture the capital of Qin, the Daxia side also suffered heavy casualties, which became the most casualties in the attack on the Qin country so far. The number of casualties was 80,000, almost one life.

Although there are powerful weapons such as gunpowder and Zhuge Liannu, the Qin army did not allow Daxia to easily take the city by relying on its solid city and bravery.

Afterwards, the battlefield was cleaned up to appease the hearts of the people, and the order stabilized. Xiao Rui moved to the Qin Palace and took charge of the power center of the Qin State.

When the news of Qin Du's fall came back to Qin Zheng's ears, he trembled with fear.

They happened to enter the boundary of Kunlun County, and now that Qindu has fallen, there is only Maolin County between Qindu and Kunlun County, and Daxia will come soon.

"Is the state of Qin about to perish in my own hands?"

Qin Zheng muttered to himself.

It has only been a few months since Daxia's attack until now. Most of the huge territory has been lost, and the speed is so fast that Qin Zheng can't believe it. Sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night, and he can't understand why the powerful enemy will be so fast. Towards disintegration.

In the next few days, Qin Zheng arrived at the city of Kunlun County. Xue Ankang, the governor of Kunlun County, had already cleaned up the governor's mansion and handed it over to Qin Zheng.

There is no palace here, so Qin Zheng can only make do with it, and at the same time send spies to stare in the direction of Qin's capital to check Daxia's movements.

However, Xiao Rui, who captured the capital of Qin, did not choose to take down the entire Qin country in one go. Let Qin live in fear and fear in Kunlun County for a while. He has already prepared appetizers, which should be very exciting.

In Xiao Rui's view, the next important thing is to rectify the occupied counties.
