The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 255

[Chapter 252 Prelude to the Great War]

As a king, his authority can only be established with the help of others, and the foundation of his rule can only be stabilized with the help of others, which is undoubtedly the biggest blow to this king.

“Yeah, Your Majesty, the Qin State is too strong, even the current Qin State is not something that any of our countries can face alone! Even if it is our combined length, he has to rely on us from the combined vertical alliance. Only with state aid can we resist Qin on the frontal battlefield!” The old prime minister also sighed and said in a sigh.

“If that’s the case, then let’s do as the Prime Minister said. I will leave half of Wei’s people, 150,000 people, to guard the various places, and the remaining 150,000 people will go out with this king. I will personally lead reinforcements and go to the front line to help Yuguo resist Qin. This time, if we do not break Qin, we will not return the army!” The King of Wei suddenly stood up, pulled out the sword from his waist, and cut off the corner of the case, so as to make it clear.

“Yes, if you don’t break Qin, you will not return the army!” All the ministers stood up in unison, their faces solemn, and shouted loudly.

Soldiers were recruited from various places by King Wei, and they were constantly rushing towards South Korea, where they would join the coalition and attack Qin together.

For this order, many soldiers were extremely puzzled, and even resentful. They who did not want to fight were forcibly dragged to the battlefield by King Wei. After countless deaths, they finally looked forward to a period of rest.

Who would have thought that the rest will only take a month or two, or even less than half a month, and they will be drawn to the battlefield, and they will still face the main force of the Qin country head-on. This time the casualties will be even more severe.

I don’t know how many people will survive this time.

This is the common voice of all Wei soldiers. They have already taken it lightly. This war will not start and end as early as they expected.

It seems that if you don’t hit him for four or five years, or even longer, you can’t stop at all.

The war has been going on for two years now. During these two years, there is no place in the world that is not affected by the war.

The imperial kingdom in the north and the Xiongnu in the grasslands all sent their own troops and horses for the war. As for the six kingdoms and the Qin kingdom in the south, not to mention.

Those people in the rear of the countries, although the life is equally difficult, and even the people are struggling, but at least they can survive, and they can have a house to live in and shelter from the wind and rain.

Even if their sons, husbands, and fathers were rushed to the battlefield for one reason after another, they fell on the distant land and could not come back.

What is really miserable is that it is in the boundary of the war between the two sides, that is, the homeland of the Six Kingdoms that was captured by the Qin State, and the people living above are miserable.

It’s okay to be dragged into the army. After all, this is the normal state of the Warring States. All the common people are conscripts. Anyone who has never been on the battlefield once or twice, has never been on the battlefield, that’s a rare thing.

What’s even worse is that because it is at the center of the battle, it is extremely inconvenient to transport military supplies from the rear, and the cost is huge, and countries have no military supplies to transport to the front line, which is difficult to do.

After thinking about it, whether it was Qin or other countries, they came up with a method, that is, to collect food and grass materials on the spot.

All of a sudden, the army’s rations are ready, but the life of the common people is miserable. The rations that were originally reserved were robbed, and the crops for the next year’s cultivation were also robbed.

This can be said to be thorough and complete, and it will cut off the livelihood of these ordinary people.

If these are not excessive, after all, officials are domineering, who does not know that these ordinary people go to dig wild vegetables, eat tree bark, etc. Although they are hungry and uncomfortable, they can still survive a little.

What’s more ruthless is that because of the war, all the soldiers are tense because of the constant death. After they are tense, they need to relax, and the best medicine is naturally a woman.

The local people are faced with the fate of being robbed of their rations and money, and of their wives and children.

I don’t know how many women, unbearably humiliated, committed suicide, or were directly killed by others.

After this devastation, the territory occupied by both sides can be said to be almost destroyed, and it is a bit exaggerated to say that it has been smashed into ruins, but it is definitely not a good place.

There were burnt and abandoned houses everywhere. In the mountains and forests, there were more and more people who were originally sparse, and they were full of traces of refugees.

In contrast, a large number of fertile fields were abandoned, and on the plains, the dense population became sparse, and it was often necessary to walk a dozen or twenty miles before seeing one or two people, and they were all homeless people.

What is even more terrifying is that after this scourge, all the local people no longer trust those armies, let alone their respective countries, whether it is Qin or their homeland, in the eyes of the common people,

That is something even more terrifying than tigers and wolves.

In the same way, those soldiers also understood what they had done, and even more aware that their hometown would not be spared, and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com also suffered.

But what can they do?

You can’t disobey your boss’s orders, you may die at any time, and you’re not by your wife and children’s side, how can these little pawns manage so much?

Most people just want to have fun and enjoy a little more, that is, the earning mind, and the wanton rampage wherever they go, bringing about a more vicious circle.

From this, it can be seen that although the soldiers who hold this kind of thinking have higher combat effectiveness due to looting, their will to fight has also become lower. Loyalty to their own country is just two words, hehe .

But how can the soldiers complain?

Those who should go to the battlefield still have to go to the battlefield. They were driven by the expelled people, and they rushed to South Korea with a relatively fast speed.

Similarly, in Zhao State, which is further north of Wei State, King Zhao also assembled an army of about 100,000 people, and went south to make peace with the Imperial State.

In the south, the Chu State in Nanyang County had already been pacified, and only one Hanzhong County was needed to completely recover all the lost territory of the Chu State. Having already freed up his hands, he also sent an army to the north.

The state of Chu is worthy of its vast territory and rich resources. Even if the territory is sparsely populated, in terms of its huge area, it is far from the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei.

This time, he sent a full 300,000 people, which is more than 100,000 compared to the troops of the Hezongchang Yuguo in South Korea.

In this way, the strength of the Hezong Alliance has already reached 90,000, which is only 50,000 less than that of Qin.

Although there are some slight weaknesses in quantity, the quality is undoubtedly more advantageous than that of Qin.

After all, the army of the alliance, the number of young and strong, is far out of the Qin country. Compared with the army of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Qin country, it is still much stronger and much better looking.
