The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

In the tenth year of Emperor Yuan, at the beginning of March.

The state of Qin, which had already resolved its future troubles, once again sent a large army of 300,000 people to attack Zhao. The State of Zhao was frightened and asked the State of Wei for support. Zhao Guo himself also organized an army of 200,000 people to deploy defenses on the front line of Taihang Mountain to resist the Qin army.

early April.

Wei State, which had already formed an alliance with Zhao State, also tasted the sweetness of the cooperation between the two countries after the last cooperation to attack Qi State, and surpassed that time, the two sides forged a deep friendship.

Ever since, King Wei assembled an army of 100,000, led by general Wei Bao, and went to the Taihang Mountains to support the Zhao army. The two countries jointly resisted the attack from the deadly enemy Qin State in the west.

After Qin State received support from Wei State in Zhao State, the battlefield that had a slight advantage suddenly became stalemate.

In mid-April of the same month, the State of Chu again sent 200,000 troops to attack the State of Yue. The 50,000 Vietnamese army lost 30,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 troops retreated to the foot of Shanyin City, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, and relied on the strong city to resist.

At the end of April, envoys from the State of Yue appeared in the court hall of the State of Qi and asked the King of Qi for help and stated their interests.

Because the north of Chu State is Wei State, Wei State is powerful, and has formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Zhao State. With the current strength of Chu State, it is definitely not the opponent of the two countries, so it is impossible for Chu State to go north to attack Wei State.

Then South Korea is the in-law of Yuguo, the most powerful country in the world, and has this big backer. Even though Yuguo is located thousands of miles away from the northern border, and has been out of sight of the Central Plains for several years, Chu doesn't dare to spy on South Korea easily, lest it arouse Yuguo's wrath.

Then to the west of Chu State is the mighty Qin State. This is a country of tigers and wolves. Qin has always been the only one who invades other countries. I have never heard of any country that dares to tease Qin's tiger beard. There were two idiots, Yun Zhong and Liang Guo, who dared to touch this taboo before, and then they had no more. Chu State did not dare to move Qin State.

After thinking about it, after Chu State destroyed Yue State, the only one that could be attacked and provoked seemed to be Qi State.

Therefore, Qi State feared that Chu State would have nothing to worry about after the Yue State was destroyed, and would send troops north to attack Qi State, so Qi State quickly passed the meeting to rescue Yue State, and sent 100,000 troops to attack Chu State southward.

100,000 Qi troops went south to attack Donghai County of Chu State, and quickly broke through the weakly defended county Tancheng, sweeping half of Donghai County.

Afterwards, the Qi army did not divide its troops to stay, trying to occupy Donghai County, but went directly south to Yue Guoji County in ice.

However, in half a month, when the Chu State had just reacted and prepared to mobilize the army to block the Qi army's footsteps, the Qi State's reinforcements had already rushed to the north bank of the Yangtze River, only one river away from Kuaiji County.

The more than 100,000 Chu troops who were attacking Jiangyin City, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, suddenly fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. They had no choice but to stop attacking the city and wait for the arrival of the Qi army.

However, Yan State, which is in the north of Qi State, faces Qi State's army to go out, and the country is empty. But he didn't move at all, just sat and watched the fighter plane go by.

At this time, Yan State was immersed in the prosperity and prosperity of the two occupied counties of Qi State, as well as the vanity of expanding the territory and spreading martial arts.

In the eyes of Yan Kingdom, although the world is in turmoil today, it will not affect Yan Kingdom, which is located in the northern border and is located in a place of severe cold.

And the northern part of Yan Kingdom, the barbarians who used to come to harass him every year, were completely swept into the garbage dump of history because of the appearance of Yu Kingdom.

So now the entire Yan Kingdom can be said to have completely entered a false peaceful and prosperous age. Compared with other countries in the world, the people of Yan Kingdom enjoy a rare peace.

Also because of these peaces, although Yan's rule was very exploitative, the people in the country did not have much complaints, but they supported Yan's rule more.

No way, who let them see that I was able to put Qi Guo and Zhao Guo in a miserable state, and I couldn't help but feel even more fortunate under the lingering fear.

How could he even think about rebelling and bring endless pain to himself!

In June, as Qi State joined the battlefield between Chu State and Yue State, Chu State's originally prosperous situation suddenly became sluggish.

In August, the Qi army broke through the layers of interception by the Chu state. There were several battles on the way, and finally arrived at the city of Shanyin in the Yue state.

In September, the Qi army united with the surviving Yue army, and the two sides formed a large army of about 70,000, and fought a decisive battle with the 100,000 Chu army on the opposite side.

In October, because of the exhaustion of the Chu army and the long-term war, coupled with the lack of geographical advantages in the land of Yue, they lost the hearts of the people. Therefore, the two armies of Qi and Yue, who worked together, defeated the Chu army in one fell swoop and won the victory of this decisive battle under the advantage of the favorable location and harmony.

The Chu army was defeated, and 40,000 remnants withdrew from Kuaiji County, and even spit out the Wu County that had been embezzled before. It was only in Lujiang County that they barely established their positions and recovered their strength.

However, the 70,000 coalition forces of the two countries also suffered a considerable loss. In the end, only more than 30,000 people survived, and their strength was greatly reduced. They were no longer able to pursue the Chu army and expand the results of the battle.

At the same time, Yue State, which had recovered Kuaiji County and Wu County, went northward to attack Donghai County of Chu State with the help of Qi State. Because many cities in Donghai County were controlled by Qi State, Donghai County was quickly acquired by Yue State. middle.

With this, the Yue State also restored the previous grand occasion of 50,000 troops. However, there are too few elites, only 5,000 people, and the rest are recruits, and their combat power is worrying.

At this point, the Qi and Yue countries finally bordered each other, and the two sides exchanged what they needed and formed a military alliance. It has become another alliance that cannot be ignored after the two countries of Zhao and Wei.

As for the state of Chu, after this battle, its vitality was greatly injured. Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, Wu Jun and Donghai Jun were also lost, and their momentum declined.

Moreover, the Chu State also lost a large number of soldiers and horses. There were originally 300,000 Chu troops, but now there are only 150,000 left. They are no longer able to attack other countries and can only barely protect themselves.

In the current situation of long-term battles, the strong men in various countries have already been recruited, and it has long been even more difficult to restore their troops.

Even if the king of Chu tried his best to search, he could only barely restore 50,000 people, bringing the military strength to about 200,000 again, but the quality dropped seriously.

In mid-October, the battlefields of Qin and Zhao in the north did not count losses in Qin, but they lost a lot of troops if they fought hard, and they continued to attack Zhao's defense line one after another. Dai County, an important town in the north of Zhao State with a long history, finally broke away from the territory of Zhao State and fell into the hands of Qin State.

And because of the acquisition of Daijun, Qin State has a geographical advantage over Zhao State.
