The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 300

[Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh Wei joined]

Since Zhao Guo had already agreed to join the alliance, then as Wei Guo, who secretly had a private agreement with Zhao Guo, it was not surprising that he joined.

Wei State is located in the Central Plains, and the situation is similar to that of South Korea. It is surrounded by five states: Zhao, Yan, Qi, Chu, and Han.

It can be said that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Among them, the alliance between Zhao and Wei has relieved some of the worries, but on the other four sides, there are enemies everywhere.

Now, the only ally of Wei State, Zhao State, has also joined this new round of alliance, and State of Wei has also lost its only support.

His north and west sides will be the basics of the alliance, and Wei State, as a country standing in front of the alliance, bears the brunt and bears the greatest pressure.

King Wei wouldn’t believe that facing his own stumbling block, this behemoth alliance wouldn’t have other ideas?

If he refuses to join the alliance, it is very likely that the first test stone of the alliance will be his own country of Wei.

As for his so-called ally Zhao Guo, just kidding, in this chaotic era, the so-called trust has long been incomplete, and some only maintain interests.

If the alliance can give Zhao Guo enough benefits, then Zhao Guo will never mind stabbing himself with a knife and biting off a piece of meat.

King Wei didn’t forget that his border was only a mere 100 miles away from Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

If the army moves quickly, it will be able to arrive in two or three days, which can be said to threaten the foundation of Zhao’s rule.

And in order to prepare for Wei State’s surprise attack, Zhao State also specially built a Great Wall, which is located on the border of Zhao Wei State, specially used to prevent Wei State’s surprise attack.

Because of the knowledge of the Great Wall, Zhao and Wei have had many frictions and battles in history.

With this kind of criminal record, even if King Zhao and King Wei share deep feelings and deep feelings, they have a basis for cooperation before.

But I still can’t believe that King Zhao would refuse the benefits sent to him because of these.

Anyway, if it was replaced by King Wei himself, he would not refuse.

As a qualified king, interests are what they value most, and they can sacrifice everything for this, even their wives, children, parents and relatives.

On the contrary, if Wei Guo joins the alliance, although they don’t know what the alliance’s goal is, because their alliance leader, Yu Guo, has not stated his purpose.

But there is one thing that can be confirmed, that is, Wei State will not be attacked, but will be able to use the ass of the alliance, so there is no need to worry about the attack of Chu State in the south and Qi State, which is more powerful in the east.

Moreover, it is very likely that Wei Guo will always be able to get some benefits this time.

Just like beating Qin State before, this time, whether it is to continue beating Qin State, or beating Chu State or Qi State in the south.

The Wei Kingdom, which is adjacent to these three major countries, can obtain direct benefits. Expanding the territory and plundering the population are all direct means to enhance the strength of the Wei Kingdom.

As for some of the population lost due to this, it is no longer considered by King Wei. In their hearts, as long as there is land, the population will not slowly recover.

As long as people don’t die all at once, the population is not a problem at all, just like the grass on the ground, if you cut a crop, it will grow again, so you don’t have to worry at all.

The free life of the rulers of King Wei can still be maintained, and will be better maintained in the future.

Because when the time comes, there will be enough territory to splurge on them.

Which faction even if another great country rises, it can be like facing the Qin state before, relying on the constant obstruction and delay of the territory, the lifespan of the Wei state can be maintained for hundreds of years.

And the king of Wei will also become the king of rejuvenation of the Wei state, and his status is comparable to that of the founding king of the state of Wei.

The addition of Wei State has restored the strength of the alliance to more than half of what it was before, and there is only one Chu State left!

The state of Chu was extremely vigilant about this newly re-established alliance, because many people in the state of Chu believed that this alliance was aimed at going abroad.

Today, according to traditional concepts, the great powers in the world are either Qin or Chu, and again Qi.

The reason is because these three big countries are located at the edge of the center of the world, far away from the whirlpool of war, and have enough buffers.

Qin and Chu, in particular, have enough barbarian territory to expand, with unlimited potential, and the country is the most fertile, with sufficient strategic buffers, and there is no danger of destroying the country in World War I.

As for Qi, it was much worse.

The basic site of Qi State is probably most of Shandong Province, plus a part of Hebei Province, Henan Province, and Jiangsu Province, which in general is the area of one province.

Although this area is not small, it is not large, and it is only a few counties. If the border is broken by the army, it will ravage the country.

In more than ten days, he will be able to lead a large army to the capital of Qi State. By then, the capital will be broken, and Qi State will almost be destroyed.

In today’s ancient society, the capital of a country is the essence of a country and a symbol of its spirit.

It is said that Linzi, the capital of Qi, has 70,000 households and 40,000 people.

The population of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is almost equal to 1/10 of Qi.

If it is said that the state of Qi is occupied, and other places are also ravaged by enemy states, then what does the state of Qi rely on to continue to resist aggression?

By other backcountry?

What’s more, Qi country is so big in total, and it only takes a month for the army to go back and forth twice. The terrain of Qi country is all plains, and the road is smooth, so there is no time to delay, and it is difficult to organize effective resistance.

In addition to the surrounding of Qi State, the north is the State of Yan, a land of bitter cold, and there are Hu people raging.

To the east is the state of Wei. Although it is in decline now, it is still a hegemonic state in the early Warring States period, and it still has some background. It may not be possible to defeat the state of Qi, but it is more than enough to resist the attack of the state of Qi.

As for the state of Chu in the south, it is a country even stronger than the state of Qi, so don’t even think about it.

It can be said that the expansion of the Qi Kingdom has been blocked, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to advance in strength.

The geographical location of Qi state is doomed to its limitations.

Therefore, unless the territories of Qin and Chu are vast and have sufficient strategic depth, even if the country is overrun, they can still withdraw to other places to continue to organize resistance.

Just like the Qin State destroying the Six Kingdoms, the troops used to fight other countries are only 200,000 or 300,000, but the Chu State will cost 600,000. In the Qin State’s budget, the Qi State does not have this kind of treatment.

why is that?

It is not because the territory of the state of Chu is large enough, let alone the main force of the state of Chu, just to say that in order to exercise basic rule over the areas occupied by the state of Chu, it is necessary to disperse a large number of troops of the state of Qin.

In addition, the King of Chu could also rely on the vast area of his own territory, take advantage of the slow action of the Qin army, flee to the rear, and organize a large army to resist. This is the advantage of a great country.
