Qin Dynasty Epic 大秦赋 Episode 64

In 235 BC, Lu Buwei committed suicide in Luoyang. Going back to this man’s life, governing the Qin State for 13 years, assisting the two generations of Qin Kings, amnesty the world, caresses the heroes, and destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, introduced talents, built water conservancy projects, and laid a solid foundation for the Qin King to unify the world. "Spring and Autumn" gathers the strengths of the scholars, is broad and profound, and has been passed down to this day.

That day when he returned from Luoyang, the autumn wind was bleak, and the city of Xianyang was full of fallen leaves. It resembled Li Si's state of mind, but it was miserable. He also shed tears because of Da Qin's painful loss of health. Upon learning of the bad news, Yingzheng was suddenly distraught with grief and anger, so he hurriedly called all his officials into the palace and ordered that Zhao be killed in three days, meaning Lu Buwei's revenge.

Li Si believes that this is not a good opportunity to attack Zhao, and now the six Kanto countries are discussing co-industry in secret. If they rush to attack Zhao, it will be difficult to succeed in one fell swoop, but it will promote the momentum of co-industry. Wang Jian, Wei Liao and others persuaded each other, but they still couldn't calm Yingzheng's anger. In the end, Yingzheng faction Huanzheng attacked Zhao State with troops, and then left.

In the Qin Army Camp, Huan Jue and Li Xin deployed a strategy. Suddenly, when the soldiers came to report that Li Mu was camping in the Three Shelter Lands in the southwest, they immediately went to investigate. At the same time, Zhao Jun also found the location of the Qin Army's camp, and they proposed to take advantage of its unsteady foothold, might as well send the frontier army cavalry assault.

However, Li Mu did not answer. He considered that Huanjuan was a defeated general and should not underestimate the enemy, so he ordered all the soldiers to cultivate their spirits, and wait for the right time to attack the Qin army.

Afterwards, the two armies of Qin and Zhao confronted each other in the fertile field for many days, and the Qin army repeatedly clamored for battle. However, Li Mu made Zhao Jun stay in the camp and only blocked the attack of Qin army with feather arrows. The two villages of the Zhao army were fetters of each other, and the Qin army wanted to attack Xizhai, lest the Zhao soldiers attack Dongzhai. If they attacked Dongzhai, they would worry about Xizhai's response, which really made them helpless.

After several generals discussed together, Huanjuan planned to confront Li Mu's two battalions, and planned to build two large battalions in the east and west camps of Zhao Jun, and then split his troops to attack Zhao Jun. As a result, in the next few days, Sergeant Qin remained unheard of this, still huddling in the camp as usual, training and playing or drying clothes from time to time, nothing was unusual.

The Qin army was intercepted by the Zhao Jun cavalry during its division. Huanjuan ordered Li Xin to take the chariot battalion to the Dongxi camp for reinforcements, and then there was a good news. Huanjun led the army to attack in one fell swoop and burned Zhaoying overnight. Unexpectedly, the heavy rain fell to put out the fire. Zhao Jun even took advantage of the emptiness of the Qin Zhongjun's army to sneak attack, resulting in a disastrous defeat. He could only order the remnant army to retreat to Pingyang to station.

Seeing the countless wounded soldiers in Pingyang City and nearly half of the losses, I was stunned and told everyone to move all the feather arrows, stones, and wooden beams to the top of the city to defend Pingyang. That night, a large number of missing Qin soldiers appeared outside the city, begging the defenders to open the door and let them go. Huan Jue saw through that these people were Zhao Bing pretending to be, and immediately ordered the arrows to be released.

Early the next morning, the Qin and Zhao armies fought in Pingyang, and Li Mu ordered the three armies to press on and completely wipe out the Qin army in the city. Just as the city of Pingyang City had 50,000 soldiers and horses, the city gate was broken and the casualties were heavy. Fortunately, Wang Jian was ordered to lead his army to help. Li Mu lamented that the time for annihilating Huanjun had passed, and simply withdrew his troops.

Huanjue asked Li Xin to take everyone out to greet the reinforcements, but because of guilt, he returned to the camp alone and left a suicide note to apologize for his death. Wang Jian and Li Xin were sorrowful and vowed to fight for Qin again, and they must bring back the six nations to comfort the spirit of the generals.

Yan Taizi Dan was very happy to learn that Qin was defeated, and decided to escape from Xianyang while Qin was in panic. Li Xin escorted Huanjuan's coffin back to Daqin, but after this heavy setback, Yingzheng was behind closed doors for many days and deeply introspected and refused to see anyone again. Kui Zhuang, Ying Sui and others have no other choice but to ask the Queen Mother Huayang to summon Ying Zheng.
