The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 238

[Chapter 235 The rise of Zhao State]

South Korea can no longer fight now, and the 200,000 army that Qin Wang Yingzheng hastily mobilized is already the limit he can reach.

Among them, the previous 100,000 were the only mobile troops that Qin could mobilize. They were always ready to go and could be dispatched.

Usually, the main role of this army is to deal with the wars of various countries. For example, if any country has any flaws, natural disasters and man-made disasters, or internal turmoil, this army can take the opportunity to take a bite and bite a piece of fat for the Qin country. meat.

Or it was used by the Qin State to pacify various internal problems, for example, sitting in the center of the town, used to intimidate everywhere, warned those with ulterior motives, and told them to hide in the dark obediently and not dare to move.

Or the frontier is in an emergency, and there are 100,000 people who can rush to support at any time.

An army of 100,000 people, even if there are millions of enemies, can support it for a few days and gain enough preparation time for Qin.

All in all, these 100,000 troops were Qin’s Dinghaishenzhen, firefighters, and they were set aside on purpose.

Now it comes in handy. 100,000 people are sent to South Korea, and they plan to fight this early bird first. As the first country to join the alliance, South Korea is very weak.

Therefore, Qin State’s past experience, 100,000 army, if it is properly handled, with the fighting will and fighting strength that South Korea has shown in the past, it is still possible to win South Korea.

Considering the current situation, the King of Qin sent another 100,000 troops to support him. In Ying Zheng’s heart, with the 200,000 troops in his heart, with the bravery of Qin’s army of tigers and wolves, he can take down the weak and weak Han, which is not a matter of hand. .

In fact, it is not just the Qin State, other countries also think the same way, so the Wei State obviously has an army of 150,000, but all of them are gathered in the capital to protect the safety of King Wei, and they are not willing to send any rescue to South Korea.

Could it be that Wei State didn’t know that South Korea was destroyed, so Wei State had to be alone and bear the pressure from Qin State?

He knew, but he was afraid of Qin and distrusted the strength of South Korea, so he hesitated and kept a wait-and-see attitude.

But what surprised Qin and other countries was that South Korea’s determination to resist was so strong this time.

Not only did King Han change his cowardly character in the past, but the ministers in South Korea also changed their greedy and greedy nature. They became so bloody and stubborn, they vowed to resist Qin’s attack to the death, and forcibly defended South Korea. .

This fact boosted the morale of the six countries. They believed that with the weakest country like South Korea, its national strength was less than half of that of Wei, and it could withstand the hot pursuit of Qin’s army of 200,000.

Then, as a country like Wei and Zhao, whose national strength far exceeds that of South Korea, what is there to fear of Qin!

A South Korean can hold back the 200,000 troops of the Qin State and exhaust them deeply. What about the State of Zhao and Wei?

How many people did they use to consume Qin?

Qin Guo probably won’t be able to take it out, as long as they can resist to the death and break with the country!

Therefore, the morale of the six countries in Shandong is extremely high now, and even a cowardly and cowardly existence like Wei dares to take the initiative to send troops to covet Qin’s lonely land in the six countries of Shandong.

After hearing the news that South Korea had guarded Xinzheng City, Zhao Guo’s actions were also extremely fast.

He quickly mobilized his army, a total of 150,000, the number that King Zhao had promised to send troops, and quickly drove to the sad place of Zhao State, which is Shangdang.

As an important place to isolate Zhao State from Qin State, Shangdang shoulders a great responsibility. Not only is there such a natural danger in this pass, but the geographical advantage of Taihang Mountain completely separates Qin State and Zhao State.

And most importantly, Shangdang had 100,000 troops stationed in Qin State, which was twice as many as the 50,000 garrison troops in other counties.

This kind of army, with the help of natural danger, is enough to suffocate any army in the Six Nations.

With a mere 150,000 troops in the Zhao country, it is absolutely a fool’s dream to break through the first pass and win the Shangdang. If you say it, don’t say that the Qin people don’t believe it, even the Zhao people don’t believe it.

Therefore, although King Zhao’s final goal was Shangdang County, his marching strategy was not to directly attack Shangdang.

His first target was Taiyuan County, north of Shangdang.

As the old nest of Zhao State, Taiyuan County has been in business for an unknown time, but it was only later that it occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains, which is now Handan County, and this slowly shifted its focus.

But even so, Taiyuan County is also the second largest center of care and a place with a large population.

There is a solid foundation for the operation of Zhao State here. If King Zhao sends troops to attack Taiyuan County, it will be much smoother, and it will also make many Taiyuan County people who have Zhao State in their hearts.

Accept it from the heart, and there will be no obstacles to domination.

After all, Taiyuan has only left Zhao for more than ten years, whether it is the old generation or the new generation, UU reading www.

uukanshu.com still misses Zhao Guo very much.

Although Qin Fa has guaranteed the interests of the common people to a certain extent, it is still too strict. The people of the Six Kingdoms who are used to being free and undisciplined cannot let them turn into parts of a machine, neatly and tightly integrated into the Qin state. This war machine, without decades of adaptation and integration, is not to be thought of.

Therefore, when Yuguo’s army had just arrived in Weiguo, King Zhao’s army of 150,000 had already reached the border of Taiyuan County.

When I first heard that the soldiers and horses of my motherland had arrived in Taiyuan County, the people in the whole county were very happy, but it was due to the strict laws of the Qin state and the 50,000 guards stationed there.

The people of Taiyuan still did not dare to show it on their faces, they just celebrated a little in their hearts and at home, and passed on some words in private.

However, an undercurrent was already surging, and even the 50,000 Qin troops who lived there were also aware of it.

While sending most of the army to resist the 150,000 army of Zhao State, 10,000 people were left behind. Military control was implemented everywhere, and the old people of Zhao State in Taiyuan were closely monitored.

The battle in Taiyuan County went very smoothly. Although the army of the Qin people was very strong, the Zhao state, which was also famous for attacking the grassland people and plundering the living space from them, was not inferior at all.

At the beginning, after Zhao State was able to reform with Qin State, they competed with each other for nearly fifty years, and became the first barrier for the six Kanto states to resist Qin State. This is a clear proof.

The 150,000-strong Zhao army, with the support of the local people of Taiyuan County, and the secret support of the tyrants from all over the country, cooperated with the inside and the outside, although the Qin army was heroic, it still could not stop the dark arrows and cold spears from the back.

In three days, the frontier defense of Taiyuan County was broken, and without much loss, the Zhao army drove straight in and broke into the interior of Taiyuan County.
