The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Yan and Zhao are the easiest to persuade. Now that they have been completed and let them join the alliance, Han Fei is going to win over Wei Chu in the south next.

From near to far, from weak to strong, between Wei State and Chu State, Wei State is the closest to Han Fei, and also the weakest. Naturally, the third target is to choose Wei State.

When Han Fei took the 300 cavalry presented by King Yan again, and sailed all the way to Wei State with great momentum.

In this world, it is already well known that the Yu Kingdom that just appeared in the north has actually led one after another joint campaign against Qin.

Moreover, South Korea Zhao Guoyan, the weaker country among the three six countries, still agreed to join the alliance to resist the crusade against the tyrannical Qin State.

And from the news that has come out now, the four countries in this alliance, the Yu Kingdom sent 300,000 troops, the Zhao Kingdom sent 150,000 troops, and the Yan Kingdom and South Korea each sent 100,000 troops. Now this newly established and relatively weak alliance has unexpectedly Destroyed his army of 650,000.

This number and news frightened the leaders of all parties in the world and shook them for a while.

Among them, including the current king of Wei, he is fatuous, has no long-term insight, and can only see short-term benefits.

This was also the time when he was fighting for the unification of the Qin State. Not only did he not unite with other countries, but instead, in order to covet the interests of one or two other cities in other countries, he even sneered behind the scenes, ignoring it. If other countries were destroyed, his own Wei State Can not escape the overall situation.

It's the same with him now.

Ever since he heard about the gathering of the 650,000 troops, the cowardly and incompetent king of Wei couldn't sleep well all day long, for fear that this alliance would attack him and destroy his country of Wei.

Today's Wei State can be said to be truly declining. With the killing of virtuous ministers like Lord Xinling, all knowledgeable talents have left Wei State one after another.

Now Wei Guo's court is full of greedy, fatuous and incompetent people, which are not as good as South Korea, so how can they have any foresight?

So when the King of Wei heard that Han Fei's convoy had approached the State of Wei and was about to send him as an envoy, he was overjoyed and relieved.

Since the Hezong Alliance of Qin Qin intends to invite me to join this alliance, then I don't have to worry about the 650,000 troops attacking Wei. On the contrary, he was able to join it, fish in troubled waters, and gain some benefits in the war against Qin, King Wei thought so happily in his heart.

So when Han Fei met King Wei, he didn't say much at all. King Wei, who was only greedy for immediate interests, patted his chest to assure and express in front of Han Fei.

Wei Guo also strongly supported this time's attack on Qin. Tyranny of the Qin Dynasty has no way, wantonly bullying the six countries of the world, and his country Wei has been unable to see it for a long time.

It's just that I was alone and lonely before, and no one came forward, so I forbeared it. This time, since the big brother Yu Guo took the lead, Wei Guo would definitely support it.

In addition, Wei Guo will send 150,000 troops to join the alliance to fight against Tyranny.

An army of 150,000 is already a lot.

Since Wei State was repeatedly attacked by Qin State, it was defeated again and again, and its land was plundered. Now only one and a half counties have land.

Although he is standing in the fertile land of the Central Plains with a large population, the population of this county and a half is also 1.5 million.

However, with these 1.5 million soldiers, the number of soldiers Wei Guo could support was only 200,000. No matter how many, although it is not impossible to recruit enough soldiers, Wei Guo does not have enough money and food to support him.

After all, in the state of Wei, nearly half of the money was spent extravagantly by those dignitaries and nobles and the King of Wei.

With the addition of Wei Guo, the original alliance of only four countries has become five countries, and the army has also changed from 650,000 to the current 800,000. This strength cannot be underestimated.

At least, it is very difficult for Qin to send out the 800,000 troops now.

Although Qin State now occupies a vast territory, nearly half of the world is in Qin State's hands, but nearly half of Qin's internal territory is newly acquired, and Qin State needs to station heavy troops to guard it.

This also means that the state of Qin can use very little of this nearly half of the land, and instead spends resources to consolidate it, which hinders the state of Qin.

Qin Guoguang used his 300,000 troops to garrison these sites, and did not dare to leave, for fear that the remnants of the nobles of the six countries would use their prestige and appeal to gather a mob of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Come to Cholera Qin.

This has also caused the current embarrassing situation of Qin State. Although he has a population of 10 million, he can only use a mere 5 million.

The remaining 5 million were just plundered and became Qin people. However, it was only a few years or even more than ten years, and they did not really recognize their identity as Qin people from the bottom of their hearts.

Qin himself did not trust the soldiers recruited from these places, so how dare he use them to resist the attacks of the other six countries? Aren't you afraid that they will turn against each other?

Therefore, Qin's current soldiers are all recruited from among his 5 million subjects, and the number is not many, only a mere 800,000.

The 800,000 can allocate 300,000 to him to suppress the newly occupied land, which cannot be moved. 100,000 people will be left to suppress Guanzhong and Bashu, and Xianyang, the capital of Qin Dynasty, will also leave 50,000 people for the purpose of defending the capital.

Moreover, the frontier of the Qin State, which is close to the border of the Huns and the Yuezhi people in the west, also needs to send a large army to garrison, even if they do not take the initiative to attack, they just guard the city wall pass.

With Qin's long border, it takes a full 200,000 troops to barely defend.

Calculated in this way, it is unbelievable that Qin's huge army of 800,000 can really be mobilized to the front line, and there are less than 150,000 fighting the enemy.

This is also the Qin State in history. Before attacking Chu State, it had already wiped out the four countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan, and occupied most of the land in the world.

The population is nearly 20 million, but sending an army of 600,000 to attack Chu State is a bit difficult.

With the mobilization power of the Warring States Period, the long-term war has long made all the people used to killing people.

Every adult man can be said to be a qualified soldier. With 20 million people, even if some young men are lost due to the war, they can still recruit an army of 1.5 million to 1.8 million. How could he fail to produce 600,000 people? !

The real reason is that many soldiers of the Qin State are guarding the old places of the Six Kingdoms to prevent the restoration of the nobles and royal families, which consumes a lot of strength.

Therefore, the current embarrassment of the Qin State, Qin Wang Yingzheng naturally knew that when he heard the news, the anger and fear in his heart were hard to explain.

And naturally, there is a big traitor in Qin State, the Chu State of Lord Changping, and naturally understands the current weakness of Qin State, so he took the initiative to send someone to contact Han Fei before Han Fei arrived, indicating that he would also participate The willingness of the alliance to conquer Qin.

Moreover, Chu State is willing to send 200,000 troops, and send troops together.

This time, everyone in the Chu State swore in their hearts that they would take back the old capital that was taken by the Qin State and regain the lost territory.
