Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Dead Thousand Miles (7)
Anyi is the old capital of the Wei Kingdom and a prosperous place.
In the early days of the Warring States Period, Wei Wenhou, a virtuous lord, reigned for more than 50 years, and was appointed as a capable person. In his dynasty, there were many famous ministers who had been famous throughout the ages, such as Wu Qi, Li Kui, etc. Wei Wenhou ordered Li Kui to be prime minister and carried out reforms in Wei. Wei became the strongest Warring States Period in one fell swoop, and he admired the world. No one in the world dared not to obey the orders of Wei Wenhou.
At that time, Anyi was the center of the world. Many orders were issued here that made the heavens look disgusted, such as Wu Qi attacking Qin, seizing the land of Hexi in Qin, and capturing the Hangu Pass of Qin, etc., all of which started from here.
There are also powerful Pang Juan attacking Han and Zhao, all starting from Anyi.
Later, when King Hui of Wei was approaching King Hui, he relied on the power of Wei, attacked from all sides, and made enemies everywhere. Pang Juan, a general with tactics and no strategic mind, had no good strategic plan from beginning to end, and he would beat anyone he wanted to fight. In the end, he caused anger and resentment from heaven and others, and the princes of the world united to deal with the Wei State.
Especially Qi State, a monarch with a broad talent, named King Wei of Qi. King Wei of Qi was good at accepting advice, and had a group of capable people under his command, Zou Ji, the famous minister of literature, Sun Bin and Tian Ji, and the benefits of fishing and salt were obtained. Qi State was extremely powerful and had the potential to replace Wei State. It was precisely because of this that Han and Zhao State were attacked by Pang Juan and asked for help from Qi State, and then the two famous battles of Maling and Guiling were included.
There is also the allusion and strange plan of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" that has been famous for all time!
After the two attacks from Qi State, the Wei State's military pillar "Wei Wushang" suffered heavy casualties, and Wei State was seriously injured and it was difficult to become the overlord of the world. At this moment, Shang Yang's reforms in Qin State were successful, and Qin State had sufficient soldiers and food, and wanted to regain Hexi. He wanted to recover Hangu Pass, and the Battle of Hexi broke out.
As we all know, the result of this battle was that the prince of Wei was played with by Shang Yang and captured alive by Shang Yang. Qin took back the land of Hexi and recovered Hangu Pass. The remaining Wei Wuzhan of Wei was also annihilated by Qin. Since then, Wei completely lost the qualification of the overlord of the world.
If things ended here, the Wei State had a chance to recover. After all, Wei Wenhou was reigned for more than fifty years, and Wei Wuhou, who was no less wise than Wei Wenhou, had been in power for many years. The national strength accumulated was extremely strong. A temporary setback was nothing. As long as King Hui of Wei could learn from his mistakes and work hard to govern, Wei State still had great hope of rising again.
Unfortunately, King Hui of Wei was a playboy. He only liked gold, silver and jewelry, but not talents. He lost the three great talents of Sun Bin, Shang Yang and Zhang Yi in his life. It was these three great talents that ended the overlord status of Wei.
After the news of the defeat in Hexi came, King Hui of Wei was frightened and believed that Anyi was very close to Qin. If Qin attacked, Anyi would be difficult to protect. He decided to move the capital. In this way, the capital of Wei was moved from Anyi to Daliang (Kaifeng, Henan).
The reason why King Hui of Wei decided to move the capital was not only because he was afraid of Qin, but also because Daliang was so prosperous that there were more fun than Anyi. Moreover, Fengze Lake was near Daliang, and Fengze Milu Deer was delicious. He liked this dish very much.
This move to the capital was awesome, destroying the last chance of Wei's rise. Since then, Wei has become weaker and weaker every year, and it has finally reached its current weakening.
That's it. Qin State has been using troops against Wei for many years, but it has not been able to capture Anyi, which shows how difficult it is to attack Anyi. At the same time, it also shows how stupid King Hui of Wei was.
Although Anyi is no longer the capital of Wei, its prosperity is still very lively, with many people coming and going.
At this moment, a shocking sound of hooves sounded, which surprised the pedestrians. At the moment of surprise, a black tide was surging, surging, and unstoppable.
For the Wei people, they were so familiar with the Qin army. When they saw this, they immediately recognized that the Qin army was fighting. They were all panic and ran away with wolves and rats.
The Qin army led by Wang Jian came. After destroying Du Kang, Wang Jian led his army to Anyi. If he could capture Anyi and destroy Anyi, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the Wei State, and Wang Jian would certainly not miss it.
The Qin army was like a wolf or a tiger, killing all the pedestrians, heading straight to the city gate, and before the Wei army guarded the gate closed the city gate, they rushed into the city. As soon as the Qin army rushed into the city, they started a massacre.
Anyi is worthy of being the old capital of the Wei Kingdom. It has many residents and has a population of hundreds of thousands. You should know that in the Warring States Period, it was rare to have a city with a sparse population and hundreds of thousands of permanent residents. This shows how great it is to Anyi.
The Qin army took two days and two nights to end the war.
"General, I've sent it, I've sent it, I've sent it." As soon as the war ended, a Qin general rushed over like a flying man, reporting it to Wang Jian, and shouting from afar.
When Wang Jian looked at it, he saw that the general was full of red light and his eyes were filled with beautiful little stars, and he was overjoyed.
"Have you found the granary?" Wang Jian asked.
"Yes. The warehouse is too full, it is much more fulfilling than the granaries of Chu Guo Shouchun." The Qin general was excited and shouted loudly.
Wang Jian followed Qin General to take a look and almost dazzled his eyes. There were piles of food and grass in the granaries and piles of gold and silver treasures. Even with Wang Jian's tenacious mind, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Anye was once the old capital of Wei State. If there were no good things, I would be strange." Then, Wang Jian figured it out.
"General, is this going to be ruined?" General Qin guessed according to convention.
"Destroy? Why do you want to destroy?" Wang Jian asked.
"General, have we been ruined all the way?" General Qin hurriedly explained.
"That's the past. We must keep a fast march and not be burdened with weight. Now, we have arrived in Anyi, not far from Qin, and are about to go home. Of course, these good things can be taken away if possible. Tell the brothers, let them pretend to be hard, and take away as much as they can." Wang Jian was excited and rubbed his hands.
Wang Jian was right. When he arrived in Wei, he was not far from Qin, and it was extremely convenient to return to Qin. Only one Han who participated in the joint efforts to fight Qin had not been punished by Qin. He only needed to punish Han, and the Qin army should withdraw his troops. As for Han, which was defeated by Qin, what could the Qin army do?
At the end of this, it was time for the Qin army to bring some good things back.
As soon as the order was passed, the Qin army was filled with joy and thunder. All of them were overjoyed.
Under Wang Jian's leadership, they marched for thousands of miles. They saw countless treasures along the way and wanted to take them away for a long time, but Wang Jian had a strict order and they dared not disobey the military order. Now, Wang Jian finally allowed them to bring good things, and they would not be happy.
The Qin army took action and took away all the things they could take away. Then there was a fire that turned Anyi into ruins.
Wang Jian led the Qin army to the final target of this destruction and left South Korea.

"What? You said that a Qin army went deep into the state of Chu, Qi, and the hinterland of Yan. It destroyed Chencheng, Shouchun, Huai River, Qi's salt field and Yan's Du Kang?" King Anli of Wei was drinking hard, and suddenly got the destruction of Qin army going deep into Chu, Qi, and Yan's state, and was shocked.
"Yes, Master." The eunuch who reported the news quickly said.
"Oh no! Oops!" Suddenly, King Anli of Wei was like a fire, jumping high, screaming in dismay: "The Qin army destroyed the Chu State, Qi State, and Yan State the most important things. The tiger and wolf Qin State will definitely not let the Great Wei go, and it will also destroy the Great Wei. Where will it destroy? Anyi! It must be Anyi! Come, please send orders to Anyi. Please strengthen your vigilance."
It was not bad for King Anli of Wei to think of this. He was still a smart person, but he was just indulging in pleasure and his mind was not used to the right path.
In fact, there are also many wise kings in Shandong, but they just use the wrong place.
"Master, the big thing is wrong. The Qin army destroyed Anyi and turned Anyi into ruins with a torch." However, as soon as he finished speaking, an eunuch came hurriedly and started shouting from afar.
"It's over! It's over! The gold and silver treasures stored in Anyi are cheaper, the tiger and wolf Qin people!" King Anli of Wei just asked about the losses, but felt sorry for the gold and silver treasures. It was speechless.
In the eyes of the entertainment owner, the life and death of the people of the country is not important, what is important is their own treasures.

Xincheng County is an important town in South Korea, close to Yiyang.
Yiyang was the most famous iron ore at that time. At that time, eight out of ten iron soldiers in the world came from Yiyang, so Yiyang attracted merchants from all over the world, and the vicinity of Yiyang was particularly rich. Although Yiyang was seized by the Qin State, it did not affect the prosperity of Xincheng County.
After Wang Jian led the Qin army to leave Anyi, he went straight to Xincheng County. Without any effort, he destroyed Xincheng County.

"Your Majesty, something big is wrong, something big is wrong, the Qin army transformed Xincheng County into ruins." Han Kaidi was panicked and walked quickly, shouting from afar.
"Is Xincheng County over?" King Han Huanhui jumped up suddenly, with a nervous look on his face and asked, "Can the Qin army leave?"
"Let's go, go." Han Kaidi hurriedly replied, "After the Qin army destroyed Xincheng County, they retreated and headed straight for Luoyang. Alas, the tiger and wolf Qin people were too fierce, Xincheng County had become scorched earth."
Han Kaidi scolded the Qin people with a angrily agitated, but King Han Huanhui was not angry at all. Instead, he raised his head to the sky and laughed: "Haha! Haha!"
I smiled so hard that I leaned back and forth, and my face was filled with joy, as if I had won a huge victory.
Xincheng County was destroyed. It is said that King Han Huanhui should be angry. He was actually laughing and was very happy, which made Han Kai unclear.
"Your Majesty, you should be angry if you are such a heartbreaking thing. Why do you laugh? Why do you laugh?" Han Kaidi was really annoyed and asked King Han Huanhui in a questioning tone.
"Since I learned the news of the defeat of the coalition forces, I have been worried about how to deal with the anger of Emperor Qin. Now that Qin has destroyed Xincheng County, Emperor Qin's anger has disappeared. Dahan is as stable as a rock. Isn't this good news? Can't I smile happily?" King Han Huanhui slapped his forehead and his eyes shone, and said, "In the future, if Emperor Qin gets angry, I will invite him to destroy the city. This will protect Dahan. My dear, do you think this strange plan is good?"
Han Kaidi didn't listen, but when he heard this, he almost fell to the ground.
