Chapter VIII The Death of Bai Qi (Part 2)

Fan Ju returned to the palace from Wu'an Jun's Mansion and replied to King Yingji of Qin.

Fan Ju said to Yingji only: "Master, Wu'an Jun said this time that he is tired of war and is still unwilling to lead his army to fight. But he has received the king's edict and is willing to get up and go to Yinmi. The humble minister is incompetent and asks my king to punish me."

Yingji heard this and was very resentful and cursed: "This Wu'an Jun is so ungrateful. He is tired of war. He is obviously despising his kingly power. Let him leave immediately! Let him get out immediately!"

"He kept saying that he was thinking about the country. He didn't know that the country was originally one with the royal power? Now he has no fighting spirit and is determined to lose. How could he still be like my Qin general? How could he still be like my Wu'an Jun? How could he still be like a famous god of war?"

"I have been in power for fifty years, and I trust him. During the Battle of Handan, I hope that he would lead his army to capture Handan and make new contributions to our Qin Dynasty. He was unwilling to go out to fight. I endured it, which led to the defeat of our Qin army."

"Now I am not in the past, and I am not mocked me, Qin State, and I am still giving him a chance to lead his army to fight the east and regain the lost territory of our Qin State. He still did not obey the king's order!"

"He actually let me down so much! He let me down so much in Qin! He is no longer my minister! He is not my god of war! He... He deserves to die!"

Seeing this, Fan Ju lowered his head and said nothing.

Ying Ji vented his anger in his heart and said to Fan Ju: "Prime Minister, immediately draft an edict, and ordered Wang He as the chief general and Zhang Tang as the deputy general. He led an army of 200,000 to attack Fencheng of Wei and take back Hedong County."

"No." Fan Ju bowed and accepted the order.

The day after Bai Qi and Fan Ju finished talking, he led a few personal guards to set off from the west gate of Xianyang in a van and headed towards the dark side.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, the entire Qin court started a debate because of him.

King Yingji of Qin sat on the throne and said to the court officials below: "Dear friends, I have ordered the general Wang He as the chief general, and lead an army of 200,000 to attack Fencheng and retake Hedong. Let's talk about any objections to all the ministers!"

Wang Ji, who was close to Fan Ju, walked out and said to Yingji: "If the king is to defend against foreign enemies, he must first punish the rebel ministers of the country."

Yingji wondered: "Resistance to the minister? Who is the rebellion to the minister?"

Wang Ji replied: "Your Majesty, this rebel minister is Bai Qi, the king of Wu'an. He repeatedly disobeyed the king's orders, which caused our army to be repeatedly defeated. If it is not eradicated, how can our king convince the public in the future?"

All the ministers in the court were shocked when they heard this.

We looked at the prime minister Fan Ju in front of the left head together, and saw Fan Ju standing in front of the front without responding.

Ying Ji asked the servant next to him and said, "Have Wu'an Jun set out for the secret now?"

The attendant ordered the officer quickly replied: "Report to my king, Mr. Wu'an has set out to go to Yinxi today."

"When he left, did he complain?"

"When Wu'an Jun left, many military generals came to see him off. Judging from his intentions, he was still unwilling to accept it and had some other words."

Yingji turned to look at Fan Ju and said, "Prime Minister, how do you deal with the matter between Wu'an?"

Fan Ju had already understood what Yingji was thinking, so he sighed inwardly, walked out, and knelt down on the ground.

He advised the King of Qin: "Master, Wu'an has a strange intention to my king now, and is a great trouble to my Qin Dynasty. You must be punished! Please send someone to kill Wu'an!"

Seeing this, all the military generals in the court fell to the ground and said to the King of Qin in unison: "King, Wu'an has fought for our Qin for decades, and has made contributions to our Qin State! I also asked my king to see his merits and spare his death."

King Yingji of Qin was even more displeased when he saw many military generals trying to protect Bai Qi.

He asked Fan Ju again: "The prime minister and military generals all agree not to kill Wu'anjun, what advice do you have?"

Fan Ju naturally knew that Yingji had to kill Bai Qi at this moment!

Without saying much, he said to Yingji:

"The king, Wu'an was demoted to the army and was in Xianyang for several months. During this period, there were crowds of people every day, and they were all the generals of our Qin State who held military power. It can be seen that he has a high prestige in the army!"

"After the Battle of Handan, he once said: "What's going on now if Qin doesn't listen to my plan!" Please ask me Wang Mingjian."

Since ancient times, military power has always been the power of the king.

As a minister, if anyone dares to move military power, he or she will either be a powerful minister or take the way of death.

Yingji nodded and said to the attendant, "Wuan Jun failed the country's kindness. I have passed on my edict to give him a sword and order him to commit suicide!

It was winter now, and the bitter cold wind blew continuously. The trees and withered wild grass on both sides of the road swung weakly and moaned in the cold wind; the sky and the ground were in chaos from top to bottom.

Bai Qi sat in the van, lifting the thick curtain, and looking at the scenery outside the car, speechless for a long time.

At this time, a personal guard came over and said to Bai Qi:

"I have reported to Mr. Wu'an, my party set out at noon and has already walked ten miles ahead. Du You (now Renjiazui Village, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province). It is getting late. Can you rest here for one night? It will not be too late to leave tomorrow."

Bai Qi walked out of the car and looked at the remaining leaves on the trees beside the road, hanging weakly on the treetops.

It is completely consistent with your mood at this moment.

Bai Qi turned around and saw dust flying behind him, and the voice of the servant order came from afar:

"Mr. Wu'an, go slowly, the king has an imperial edict."

Bai Qi closed his eyes and said slowly to his several personal guards: "No need to leave, Bai Qi died here today."

I remembered the scene in my mind that I was named Wu'an Jun by Queen Mother Xuan of Qin and King Yingji of Qin.

"Bai Qi, I now give you the title of Wu'an Lord. Do you know the meaning of this Lord's name?"

"Report to the king, I know."

"Oh, please tell me about it!"

"The title of Wu'an Lord is the Queen Mother and the King. I hope Bai Qi will win the battle and defeat the attack, and will be able to raise the soldiers and get the people to gather. Therefore, he is called Wu'an!"

"Haha, that's exactly what I mean. May Wu'an be my loyal minister of Qin forever and ensure the prosperity of the Great Qin State."

The 58th year of King Nan of Zhou (Jiachen, 257 BC)

In the first year of King Xiao of Yan, the fiftieth year of King Zhao of Qin, November 3rd.

Bai Qi, a general of Qin State who is famous all over the world and known as "man slaughter" and "god of war", was given a sword by King Yingji of Qin and committed suicide at Duyou in the west of Xianyang. It is known in history as "Duyou's Killing".

Bai Qi is another outstanding military strategist and commander in Chinese history, following Sun Wu and Wu Qi.

Bai Qi joined the army at the age of 16. In the thirteenth year of King Yingji of Qin, he was recommended by Marquis Rang to Wei Ran. As the left chief of the Qin army, he became the position of a senior general of the Qin State.

In the past 30 years, he has been the chief general of the Qin army, and has never been defeated, making great contributions to the Qin State.

The Battle of Yique annihilated 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces, and completely wiped out Qin's path toward the east!

He went south to attack Chu, and defeated the Chu army in three battles, and attacked Yingdu, forcing Chu to move the capital to Chenyi, and Chu was unable to recover from then on!
