The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 239

[Chapter 236 State of the Kingdoms]

Afterwards, the state of Zhao, which had an advantage in military strength, after defeating the main force of the Qin army, carried out a wide-spreading and fishing operation.

Although the army of 150,000 people lost tens of thousands because of the defeat of the Qin army, there were still 120,000 people. All of them were divided into several troops and horses and went to various places in Taiyuan to receive the city.

When I heard the news of the arrival of my old king and teacher, the powerful and famous people from all over the country, and the people of Zhao State in their hearts, followed suit.

They either took the initiative to kill the defenders and surrendered the city, or they suddenly attacked when the Zhao army was attacking the city.

And the army sent out has instead grown a few laps. The original army of 120,000 has reached 200,000 when it gathers under Jinyang City and prepares to launch a general attack to take the capital of Taiyuan County in one fell swoop. .

In this way, we can see how rich Taiyuan County is and how large the population is.

80,000 troops, including those who lost to the Qin army because of the early launch anyway.

After the incident, King Zhao made some statistics.

The whole of Jinyang, except for the 80,000 troops that came here.

Before, some people died because of fighting with the Qin army, or some people quit the rebel army for some reason, or some people lost their right and didn’t return in time. Before and after, Taiyuan County paid him 100,000 yuan. army.

This is more than twice as much as the Qin army. This is because it is a local uprising, not a national mobilization, and it cannot fully tap the potential of Taiyuan.

According to the original statistics of Zhao State, when Taiyuan County was lost, the total population was about 500,000. Now, Taiyuan has been occupied by Qin State for more than ten years. It has become today’s 680,000, nearly 700,000 people.

These 700,000 people can be counted as one of five people, or even more ruthless, almost 150,000 people can be recruited.

Of course, things are of course impossible to do this way. If this is true, I am afraid that the hearts of Zhao people who have just attached themselves will soon be scattered!

So King Zhao did not plan to do this, except for those who died or escaped before, he just planned to recruit 100,000 troops in Taiyuan County, merge them into his own army, and continue as he continued. Expedition to Qin State.

King Zhao’s army finally arrived at Taiyuan County.

In Jinyang City, this once prosperous city is now sparse, and every household is closed. Qin Jun has imposed martial law in the city.

The previous rebellions in the cities of Taiyuan County have deeply intimidated the defenders of Jinyang City, so he would rather kill the mistake and let it go, and no longer trust anyone in Taiyuan County.

In a hurry, he distributed the remaining 5,000 troops to the front of the city, and left 2,000 of him in the city to deter those with certain thoughts.

Unfortunately, even though he made all the preparations he could, he still couldn’t stop the fate of Jinyang City falling.

The people in the city had already abandoned Qin State and chose to return to Zhao State.

How can the people of Qin who have lost the hearts of the people stick to this city that is full of worries both inside and outside.

There were only 5,000 defenders left, and 2,000 were left to prevent possible rebellion in the car.

The remaining 3,000 people were scattered over the city wall that was dozens of miles long, and there was only one person at a distance of several meters.

This kind of slack city defense, for the nearly 200,000 Zhao troops outside the city, is just a battle.

Jinyang City did not stop Zhao Jun’s footsteps for a long time. In just three hours, the entire Jinyang City was completely under the rule of Zhao State that day, and the defender of Qin State in the city was also defeated and killed himself.

Taiyuan County, the lost land of the Zhao Kingdom for more than ten years, finally got it back today.

As for Xinzheng of South Korea, on the day that Zhao State took Jinyang, the army of 200,000 Yuguo who was rushed over defeated the 40,000 to 50,000 Qin troops who were lingering outside the city, and completely relieved the siege.

Although the siege of Xinzheng was lifted, the Koreans in the city were not very happy.

Today’s South Korea, as I said before, has ten rooms and nine empty spaces, riddled with holes, and the whole country is devastated.

And the most important thing is that in the whole of Korea, after this war, the men who can be collected by the whole country, including those over thirteen years old, are not capped.

He can only recruit less than 50,000 people, with such a weak field?

How can we hold the territory of South Korea today!

Therefore, although the siege of South Korea has been lifted and the worry of destroying the country is temporarily gone, there is deep fear and worry about the future fate of South Korea.

Deep down in their hearts, they couldn’t help but think that South Korea’s strength is now incomparable to a county in Qin.

Although it is better than one county, it is only the strength of three or five counties.

This kind of strength, let alone being called a prince, just wants to be a separatist force in a place. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com reluctantly maintains a certain degree of independence, which is all a delusion.

But South Korea now has a county, a dozen counties, and a large population. Although they are all old and weak, women and children, they are also a piece of fat. At this moment, many surrounding princes must be greedy. stare.

How can they not feel worried and afraid in such a crisis-ridden situation?

After all, they don’t know that the current Hezongchang, namely Zhong Yu, also intends to grab one or two counties of the Qin state for them and hand them over to South Korea, so that South Korea can retain a certain strength and continue to exist as a vassal state. go down.

I’m afraid that what they are afraid of now is whether this combined length and length will take advantage of South Korea’s low strength and directly annex it on the spot.

However, all of this is still in their own thoughts and has not been directly expressed. It will only be a successful outcome after the contact and conversation between the two parties and their respective interests are achieved.

The situation of the six kingdoms in the east has been finished, so let’s talk about the Qin country. Today, the Qin country is mobilizing all over the country. All around, the counties and counties are constantly sending troops and horses to move towards Xianyang.

Among them, the Guanzhong counties were the fastest, and after all, they were the lands that were ruled by the Qin people for hundreds of years.

The people living above are all the old Qin people who have lived for hundreds of years. They have feelings and loyalty to the Qin state, so don’t talk about that.

The 800-mile Qinchuan in Guanzhong, especially the Zhengguo Canal that is currently under construction, has been mostly completed, and it has become a fertile land.

The mountains of grain and grass, as well as Xianyang, formed a set of strict weapon production procedures, where tens of thousands of craftsmen gathered to produce one weapon after another.

With these sufficient military supplies, these armies were quickly fully equipped, and once again became heroic and adept soldiers.
