The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 224

[Chapter 221 On the establishment of the alliance]

With Han Fei’s mission, the whole world changed with his actions.

Han Fei’s first target was Zhao State. Due to the hatred between Zhao State and Qin State, he still hasn’t forgotten it, and he is constantly invaded by Qin State.

Therefore, when Han Fei came and expressed his willingness to jointly attack Qin, King Zhao agreed on the spot.

Although the court was obstructed in every possible way by the ministers who were bought by the Qin state, they far underestimated the degree of vigilance of their king towards the Qin state.

This is also the norm for the king of every country nowadays. If it is possible, who wants to be a king who shivers when he hears the Qin attack.

Before, it was just that there was no chance, and it was difficult for me to resist Qin alone. In order not to be removed by the Sheji, the ancestral temple was destroyed, and the country was destroyed, so I had to bow down to Qin.

And even so, every king of the Zhao Kingdom adopts a tactic of resolute resistance to the Qin Kingdom. Looking at the battle between the Qin Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom, even if they win, they will lose most of them and their vitality will be greatly damaged.

King Zhao’s decision made the loyal ministers of the entire Zhao country rejoiced. They all expressed their opinions together, agreeing with the strategy of jointly attacking Qin, and they worked hard for this alliance, wanting to promote its appearance as soon as possible.

Seeing that King Zhao had agreed, Han Fei stayed for more than ten days, discussing some details of the alliance, such as who was elected as the leader of the alliance, and how many troops did Zhao State send?

Attack from where?

The supply of military rations must also be resolved, and these need to be discussed carefully by Han Fei and King Zhao.

In the end, Han Fei showed his attitude in South Korea in a timely manner, and elected the emperor of a country as the co-director.

And South Korea will send 100,000 troops to defeat the strong Qin, and South Korea will also bear some of the military rations of the United Army in South Korea.

After hearing Han Fei’s words, King Zhao thought for a while.

After thinking about it for a while, I feel that Zhao Guo’s current strength is also at the bottom of the other countries. Although it is worse than Yan Han, it is even worse than Wei Guo.

With this kind of strength, it is impossible to compete for the position of the leader, although some are unwilling that Yuguo, the barbarian clan in his eyes, has become the leader of the countries.

But thinking about the strength Yuguo was willing to contribute to the crusade against Qin, the 300,000 army, such a number that suffocated the current Zhao, could only reluctantly agree.

The strength of Zhao State was very strong for a period of time in the late Warring States Period. In the eyes of the world at that time, they all believed that Zhao State was the only one who could compete with Qin State.

Since King Wuling of Zhao Hu Fu was riding and shooting, Zhao’s territory has tripled in a short period of time, and the originally fragmented land has been connected, with a vast depth and rear.

There is no need to worry about being cut off from other countries at will, and you can rest in peace.

Since then, the strength of Zhao State has expanded several times, and after King Wen of Zhao’s recuperation, the background of Zhao State has deepened, and it has suddenly become a heroic country that can compete with the strong Qin.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhao State was able to send 400,000 troops and fought against Qin State in Changping.

Although it failed, it was just a strategic mistake, not that Zhao’s army was incapable.

But now Zhao State’s strength is not enough, 2/3 of the territory is occupied by Qin State, and now only Handan County and Dai County are left, and Dai County is even more barren. Although the land is vast, its population is only 30. Ten thousand.

The real essence is the present Handan County, which has a population of over one million and supports as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses. These strengths are the basis for Zhao State to maintain its current reputation as a majestic state.

Handan County’s 150,000 soldiers, plus Dai County’s 50,000 soldiers, the entire Zhao State now has 200,000 soldiers and horses.

King Zhao heard that South Korea, a small and weak country, was willing to send 100,000 troops and horses to attack Qin.

He, Zhao Guo, and I naturally cannot fall behind and be ridiculed by others.

Therefore, he said that he would send a 150,000-strong army to conquer the Qin state with all the strength of the country, and he would strongly support the alliance army’s food and forage in the state of Zhao.

With these promises from King Zhao, Han Fei was extremely satisfied, expressed his gratitude to King Zhao, and then prepared to leave.

Seeing Han Fei’s departure, King Zhao sponsored another 300 cavalry for him as guards on the road, and also sponsored some vehicles and supplies.

In this way, Han Fei’s team has expanded to thousands of people, and it is still a strong force.

Han Fei’s second target was the State of Yan.

Since the Kingdom of Yan was defeated by the Kingdom of Yu, half of its territory has been lost, and its population has been greatly reduced, leaving only a few million people.

In addition, there was a major war in the country, the material was severely damaged, and the Yuguo was plundered everywhere, which was even more unbearable. Today, the army in the whole country can only be maintained at about 100,000.

However, Yan Guo, who is now hiding in the corner, secretly licking and sucking the wound.

Although their country has fallen to this point and is almost destroyed, the high-level people of their country, King Yan and Jun Yanchun, still live a life of wine, pond and meat forest, which is extremely extravagant.

As a prince of Yan who is interested in revitalizing the state of Yan, seeing the current situation of the state of Yan, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com’s inner sorrow and loneliness, it goes without saying.

But what’s the use of this?

Since he led the army out, the whole army was wiped out, leaving him alone. He has been considered by everyone in the Yan Kingdom as a coward and an incompetent.

He had already lost the support of all the common people in the country of Yan, and the upper-class nobles secretly laughed at and disgusted Yan Dan, who was unwilling to join forces with him.

All of this made Yan Dan almost unbearable, and wanted to leave the country of Yan and go to the nomadic life in the rivers and lakes.

However, the love for his motherland and the faint desire for power in his heart still made Yan Dan unable to let go of all this, so he had the cheek to continue to live in Jidu.

When he heard the news of Han Fei’s mission to the six countries and the strategy of cooperating with the six countries to attack Qin, Yan Dan was so excited that he jumped up.

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for. The fight between the two giants Yuguo and Qin will involve all their energy, and a war will inevitably cost a lot. These two countries will not have time to take into account the small remote country of Yan. .

Then the country of Yan can secretly lick and suck the wound, restore strength, and strive for a period of development.

Therefore, Yan Dan greatly supported this cooperation. King Yan and others feared that if they and others did not cooperate, the army of Yuguo would attack Yanguo again.

And if your own country of Yan can belong to the same alliance as the kingdom of Yu, then it is your own, and you don’t have to worry about the kingdom of Yu beside you attacking you and destroying the kingdom of Yan.

As for the Qin state, there is no need to worry too much about the fact that Han, Zhao, Wei, and San Jin are separated from the middle of the Yan state.

Therefore, King Yan said that the state of Yan will send 100,000 troops to join the alliance, and take Yuguo as the leader of the alliance.
