Chapter 378: The Destruction of Korea (Part 2)
"Attack Korea so many years in advance." Sitting in the pavilion in the Sun Moon Villa outside Xianyang, Shen Fei couldn't help but sigh as he listened to Yingge's report on the latest intelligence from Xianyang.
Originally, Korea could still exist for many years, after all, the Zhengguo Canal has not been completed yet, but now because of his arrival, the butterfly effect has caused Korea to perish in advance.
Shen Fei can also understand Ying Zheng's move to destroy Korea in advance. After all, Qin is now strong and powerful, especially after obtaining the steel smelting technology provided by Shen Fei, as well as the mechanical white tiger and mechanical red bird of the Mohist school, which has made the Qin army's combat effectiveness even better.
The steel smelting technology not only allowed the Gongshu family to make great progress in mechanical beasts, but also greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the entire Qin army system, with stronger armor defense, sharper weapons, and longer range of crossbows.
In addition to the hot air balloon technology provided by Shen Fei, Qin's logistics transportation no longer requires so much labor. In this case, it is not surprising that Ying Zheng wants to fight a war to destroy the country.
As for whether destroying South Korea so early in advance would cause the foundation of Qin's rule to be unstable, this is a matter of opinion.
For Ying Zheng, destroying South Korea so many years in advance would give him more time to manage South Korea, which would be of great benefit to Qin's subsequent strategy. South Korea could become one of the seven powers in the Warring States Period with only one county, which was enough to show how powerful South Korea was.
For Qin, destroying South Korea had three major benefits. One was that South Korea had a large amount of iron ore, which was currently very lacking in Qin, especially under the new smelting technology.
The second was South Korea's plain granary. South Korea was one of the few major producers among the seven powers in the Warring States Period. South Korea had suffered a disaster before, which required Han Fei to purchase food from abroad for disaster relief. This was not because South Korea had no food for disaster relief, but that all the food was in the hands of South Korean nobles. Once Qin ruled South Korea, there would be one more grain producing area, especially with the new seeds provided by Shen Fei, which could greatly increase Qin's food reserves.
The third is the salt field. South Korea is one of the few countries that does not rely on Qi to export salt. It can be said that if it were not for its geographical location in a place surrounded by wars, South Korea would never be as weak as it is now.
Let alone other benefits, these three benefits alone are enough to make Ying Zheng excited. As long as Ying Zheng destroys South Korea, he will not want to unify the Central Plains in a short time like before, but concentrate on governing South Korea for a few years, which is enough to make the current Qin national strength further.
In addition, after the destruction of South Korea, there is another benefit, that is, the dispatch of the army is faster, unlike now, the army must enter and exit from the canyon of Hangu Pass.
For the six countries in Shandong, there is actually a very simple way to stop Qin from advancing eastward, that is, to send heavy troops to block the exit of Hangu Pass, or to learn from Hangu Pass and build a similar pass on the opposite side, which is definitely a very big constraint for Qin.
But it is a pity that no one has ever thought of doing this. Maybe someone has thought about it, but in the end, because of the intrigues of the six countries in Shandong, no one implemented this plan.
This is not the fault of the six states in Shandong. If this checkpoint is built, the biggest benefit will be to South Korea. Other countries will not benefit at all. Who asked Qin to face South Korea as soon as it came out of the pass? Under such circumstances, it is impossible to let other countries provide people, money, and effort to build such a checkpoint.
And relying on South Korea alone, it is obvious that there is no chance to complete this checkpoint. Maybe you just want to build it, and Qin will come out. In this situation where South Korea is in a state of panic for Qin, how dare South Korea touch Qin's tiger whiskers.
Of course, this was the situation in the past. Qin was not a fool. Such an important checkpoint could not be seen. As early as when Qin was strong, there was an army stationed near the exit of Hangu Pass, forming a deterrent to Han, Zhao, and Wei.
"It's just a pity for Han Fei." Ying Zheng used troops against South Korea, and Han Fei certainly could not ignore it. He directly wrote to save Han. It must be said that some of Han Fei's words about saving Han are very reasonable, but even if they are reasonable, they cannot change Ying Zheng's decision, not to mention that Qin has become completely different because of Shen Fei's appearance.
The book about preserving Han made Ying Zheng very angry. It can be said that if it were not for Shen Fei, Han Fei would have been imprisoned instead of being under house arrest.
"National Master, what do you think about destroying Han?"
"Since the king thinks it is necessary, just destroy it."
Shen Fei would not interfere with Ying Zheng's decision. After all, although he knew a lot, it was actually just a matter of talking on paper. It still depends on Ying Zheng how to do it.
And even if he did so, there would be some problems. At most, they could be made up later. Even if the six kingdoms were unified in a short time, many hidden dangers would be left. However, as long as Ying Zheng was alive, the so-called hidden dangers would not have a chance to erupt.
"That Ninth Prince, how is the National Master going to deal with it?"
Mentioning Han Fei made Shen Fei sigh in his heart. Ying Zheng wanted to destroy Han, and Han Fei certainly could not sit still and wait for death. Preserving Han was just the beginning. He had secretly contacted Wei Zhuang of Liusha.
Even though Han Fei's actions were very secretive, don't forget that this is Xianyang, Qin State, Luowang's base camp. It's not that no one can hide Luowang's actions in Xianyang City, but it's obvious that Han Fei doesn't have such ability.
If Han Fei is thrown into the Tianlao as in the original work, the situation may be better. At least Han Fei has no way to contact Wei Zhuang, but who let Han Fei not be imprisoned in the Tianlao because of Shen Fei.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will handle this matter." To be honest, Shen Fei understands Han Fei's choice. After all, South Korea is his motherland. It's just like Shen Fei killed those people at the end of Under One Person.
However, understanding is understanding. Han Fei's behavior is to provoke himself to death. Ying Zheng is not a good person to get along with. If he can be used by Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng will treat him as a guest of honor, just like Shen Fei is now, but if he is an enemy, Ying Zheng will not mind using the butcher knife, and the smarter the enemy, the more murderous he will be.
Now Ying Zheng has already had the intention to kill Han Fei. Han Fei finally died in the Tianlao from the Yin-Yang Family's Six Souls Curse. It would have been impossible without Ying Zheng's nod. You know, Han Fei is a serious criminal. Even the Yin-Yang Family dare not bypass Ying Zheng to kill people directly.
Now Shen Fei must deal with Han Fei's affairs, otherwise once Ying Zheng takes action, Han Fei will surely die. If it is Han Fei in the original book, Ying Zheng may give him another chance, but now because of Shen Fei's appearance, Ying Zheng no longer values Han Fei as much as before.
Late at night, outside Xianyang City, in the roadside pavilion under the moonlight, three people are sitting quietly inside. These three people are Shen Fei, Gai Nie, and Mo Ya.
"Finally here." After taking a sip of tea, Shen Fei looked up at the sky and spoke softly. As he finished speaking, Gai Nie and Mo Ya's eyes immediately looked up. Under the moonlight, it seemed that there was a big bird flying in the sky.
"Mr. Gai Nie, I'm in trouble."
This big bird is of course not a real big bird, but the Suzaku of the Mohist School. Ying Zheng wants to send troops to South Korea. Such a big thing cannot be hidden from the spies of the six countries in Xianyang. After all, it is the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops.
The six countries in Shandong will certainly not sit and wait for death. Except for Qi, which is as stable as Mount Tai, the other five countries have taken actions. Among them, Zhao, Wei, and Chu have begun to mobilize troops. Although Yan has not mobilized troops, it is obvious that Yan Dan of the Mohist School will not just watch from the side.
From the appearance of the Suzaku, we can guess the role played by Yan Dan in this.
Buzz.
After Shen Fei finished speaking, Gai Nie immediately flew to the top of the pavilion, with the long sword in his right hand erected. The powerful true energy made the surrounding air and the tiles on the top of the pavilion begin to vibrate constantly.
Swish.
At the moment when his true energy gathered to the top, Gai Nie immediately jumped up, and the long sword in his right hand flew out of his hand in mid-air, with an indomitable momentum, directly shooting at the mechanical Suzaku in the air, the Hundred-Step Flying Sword.
Boom.
Gai Nie's Hundred-Step Flying Sword directly pierced through the mechanical Suzaku in the sky. The huge mechanical Suzaku was directly disintegrated under this sword. At this moment, four figures jumped out of the mechanical Suzaku and fell down.
One of them was wearing fluttering white clothes, which was particularly conspicuous under the moonlight in the night sky. It was Bai Feng who joined Liusha. The other three were Liusha Wei Zhuang, Han Fei, and an ordinary Mohist disciple, the driver of the mechanical Suzaku. At this time, this person was really held in Bai Feng's hand.
"Nineth Master, you are doing this, but it makes me very embarrassed." Looking at Han Fei and others who landed, Shen Fei immediately walked out of the pavilion, followed by Mo Ya.
"Sure enough, I didn't hide it." Han Fei sighed softly after seeing Shen Fei and the others.
"Your plan is very good. If it were someone else, you might have been able to deceive them. But unfortunately, you are facing me." Han Fei's plan is very simple, which is to use a trick to replace someone else. At this time, there is another Han Fei inside Xianyang City. Of course, that is a fake Han Fei, pretending to be Zi Nu. In terms of disguise, Zi Nu has the ultimate skills.
In fact, there is not only one fake Han Fei. If you count the real Han Fei here, there are actually four Han Feis, one real and four fake. The other two are used as bait to attract people's attention. In fact, the two baits are good in this regard, and the masters of Luowang and Yinyang are attracted.
If Shen Fei hadn't been using the domineering aura of observation, the result would be hard to say. So Han Fei's crime is not a war crime, but a problem of strength.
Under the observation, the so-called disguise has no effect at all.
"It seems that I have to force my way in." Han Fei said and directly showed the Ni Lin sword. At the moment of life and death in South Korea, Han Fei didn't care about the exposure of his strength.
"Ying Zheng, Han Fei, Changping Jun, Yan Dan, if these four people fight, no one knows who will win in the end." Looking at the Confucian true energy emanating from Han Fei, Shen Fei suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
"Your opponent is me, let me see how much you have improved." At this moment, Bai Feng suddenly made a move, relying on his unique lightness skills, his target was directly Shen Fei, the national teacher of Qin, but he was intercepted by Mo Ya halfway.
Two figures, one black and one white, appeared and disappeared under the moonlight, and soon moved away from here. Mo Ya relied on his powerful strength to take Bai Feng away.
Originally, Mo Ya was stronger than Bai Feng. Under Shen Fei's command, he got a lot of resources. Now, let alone Bai Feng, he can even fight against Wei Zhuang.
"Xiao Zhuang, you shouldn't have come."
"Brother, is that all you have to say?"
After fighting side by side last time, the two disciples of Gui Gu Zong Heng finally started to fight head-on because of their philosophy. The two of them walked to one side in tacit understanding, leaving this place to Shen Fei and Han Fei. As for the driver of the Mo family mechanism Suzaku, he left here after landing.
"Please." Han Fei said, and the Ni Lin sword in his hand emitted a powerful true energy.
"I'm sorry, you're not my opponent." Shen Fei said as he appeared in front of Han Fei. His right index finger lightly touched the Ni Lin sword in Han Fei's hand. In Han Fei's stunned expression, the Ni Lin sword in his hand, which was already in tatters, was completely shattered at this moment. The powerful force made Han Fei groan and step back several steps involuntarily.
"You have tried your best. It is inevitable that Ying Zheng will unify the world. You should know this." Shen Fei said without waiting for Han Fei to speak. Three air needles appeared on his right hand and shot directly into three major acupoints in Han Fei's body, the ghost gate needle.
"I'm done here. I'm going back first. You guys can play slowly." Shen Fei carried Han Fei, who was unconscious due to the ghost gate needle, and said something to Gai Nie and Mo Ya on the side, and then walked towards Xianyang.
"Stay here." Seeing Han Fei being restrained, Wei Zhuang immediately exploded, and used the Cross-Border Sword directly. After repelling Gai Nie, he rushed towards Shen Fei with the Shark Tooth Sword.
"You should know that letting Han Fei go back with you will only kill him, so why bother?" Shen Fei waved his left hand lightly, and an ice wall appeared directly on Wei Zhuang's path, blocking him.
"Stop." Seeing that his shark tooth sword could only leave a white mark on the ice wall in front of him, Wei Zhuang looked unwilling. Just when he wanted to bypass the ice wall, Gai Nie blocked him.
"You are still not fast enough." On the two treetops facing each other, Mo Ya stood on one of the treetops and said to Bai Feng opposite with a smile.
"One day, I will be faster than you." Bai Feng was suppressed by Mo Ya throughout the whole process, which made her face a little dark at this time.
"This is the last time. Don't blame me for not remembering the old friendship next time." After throwing the unconscious Han Fei to Zi Nu, Shen Fei left after leaving this sentence.
Under Shen Fei's strong suppression, Han Fei's affairs were soon over.
"Six hundred thousand troops, this black torrent is really spectacular." Shen Fei would certainly not miss the war to destroy the country. After controlling Han Fei, he came to the front line. This time, Qin dispatched six hundred thousand troops to destroy Han.
Of course, these six hundred thousand troops were not aimed at Han. Han was not worthy of Qin's treatment. Among these six hundred thousand troops, three hundred thousand were to deal with the army of Chu, and the other two hundred thousand were for the army of Zhao and Wei. The army that really attacked Han was only one hundred thousand.
One hundred thousand led by Nei Shiteng, Wang Jian led three hundred thousand troops against Chu, and Meng Ao of Mengjia led two hundred thousand troops against Wei and Zhao.
