The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 301
[Chapter 298 The 2nd Combined Vertical Alliance was established]
Therefore, the three great powers in the world, the Qin State has been defeated, and the Qi State is reluctant to move in its own place.
Then, the only country that threatens the imperial state next, after tossing and turning, it seems that only the state of Chu is left.
In the previous merger, although Chu State could not be said to be the most profitable, because Wei State gained far more population than Chu State.
Tao County, Dong County, Hanoi County, and Hedong County, a total of four counties, were brought under the command of the Wei State.
You must know that even after the reunification of the Qin Kingdom, there were only 36 counties divided, including a part of the territory expanded in the Baiyue and Hetao areas.
And Wei Guo won 1/9 of it in such a war, which can be said to be the biggest profit.
Even Zhao State has got Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yanmen three counties, but the population is relatively sparse, far less than Wei State.
As for the state of Chu, if you really count it, it only got the two counties of Nanjun and Nanyang.
As for Qianzhong County in the south, it is just a barren land that has not yet been developed, and its entire population is only tens of thousands, and it is not as good as a county in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
However, Chu’s gains are not in population, but in the vast territory and strategic depth that Chu has acquired.
This time, Chu State not only won his original territory, that is, Nanyang County, Nan County, and Qianzhong County.
In addition to Hanzhong County, the place where Chu State was at its peak has been completely restored, and compared to that time, the land of Wu and Yue has been captured.
In terms of strength, there is still more to win.
In addition, Yelang State, which was located further southwest of Chu State, was also recaptured by the help of former Chu State officials under the attack of the 50,000-strong army.
Taking this opportunity, Chu State also extended his hand to the southwest of China, capturing half of Yunnan Province and a small half of Guizhou Province, forming a Yelang County.
And the population of this new Yelang County, because it has some of the previous Chu troops, is more numerous than other regions, and it is also full of more than 200,000, which can be regarded as supplementing some of the strength of the Chu State.
And in the south of Chu State, which is now Fujian Province, there is a Minyue State established by the remnants of the Yue State.
This small country has always claimed to be the immediate successor of the Yue Kingdom, and is hostile to the Chu Kingdom’s accession to the throne.
And this time, this small country is even more deadly.
He had seen the great army of Chu State go on an expedition before, and many soldiers and horses were on the front line thousands of miles away, and they could not get entangled with the Qin State, the largest country in the world.
And this small country is under the idea of adding fire to the backyard of Chu State and involving a little Chu State’s energy in Qin State.
One or two messengers were sent to the Minyue Kingdom to lobby, and they actually persuaded their king.
Let the king of the Minyue Kingdom gather most of the country’s troops, a total of 30,000 people, to go out to attack the Chu state.
In the early days of the war, because the Chu State did not expect that this small country, usually a trivial existence, actually dared to offend Tianwei, so the precautions were not strict, but it really allowed the Minyue Kingdom to succeed for a while.
The 30,000-strong army of the Minyue Kingdom, after leaving the border, went all the way like a broken bamboo, winning more than ten cities in the Chu Kingdom, and approaching Shanyin County, the county town of Kuaiji County in the south of the Chu Kingdom.
All of a sudden, the state of Chu was shaken, and the King of Chu was even more furious, and repeatedly rebuked the incompetence of the southern guards.
However, the good fortune of the Minyue Kingdom will end here. Shanyin County is after all the county seat of a county. Even though the Chu Kingdom is currently at war, many troops and horses are dispatched to the north to participate in the war with the Qin Kingdom.
However, Shanyin County still has a defending force of 10,000 people, well-trained and well-equipped, and the army of 30,000 people in the Minyue Kingdom is simply unable to win.
Not to mention, there are only 20,000 people left because of the 30,000 people who have to leave some to stay in the occupied city.
Therefore, after being carried away by the victory, the army of the Minyue Kingdom quickly smashed into the sand under the Shanyin County, and hit its head with blood.
The army of more than 20,000 was directly injured and maimed by the defenders and more than 10,000 were maimed. The remaining 10,000 remnants also retreated directly and did not dare to stay under the city wall.
Instead, they retreated to a more majestic city at the rear, relying on the city wall to switch from attacking to staying behind.
But they wanted to withdraw now, but it was too late.
Being provoked by such a small country, the king of Chu was very angry. He directly mobilized several counties in the south, and recruited soldiers and horses there to form an army of 100,000 people to attack the Fujian and Yue countries in the south.
The 100,000 Chu army was mighty and went all the way south. With the advantages of equipment and some training, it directly flattened the remaining 20,000 Fujian and Vietnam troops.
Then, the remaining Chu army continued to advance, and soon invaded the country of Minyue, which had no defensive strength, and captured all the only ten cities in the country of Minyue. The King of Minyue was also in the palace city of the royal capital. committed suicide.
In the entire Minyue Kingdom, except for 1/3 of the people who fled to the mountains, they were determined not to be subjects of the Chu Kingdom.
After playing guerrilla warfare with Chu State, he was completely occupied by Chu State.
After destroying this small country, Chu State also gained a population of about 130,000 and more than ten cities.
The King of Chu ordered the Minyue Kingdom to be divided into Minzhong County, and more than ten county-level administrations were established, which truly began the Chu state’s rule here.
At this time, in the southern part of Chu State, there was only a Baiyue land in Lingnan that was not under control.
However, this land of Baiyue is not a climate now.
Before, Baiyue originally had a Baiyue Kingdom, which ruled the two traditional spheres of influence in Guangdong and Guangxi. The domestic population was nearly one million, and the army had drawn 100,000 to 200,000 people. It was considered a big country.
It’s a pity that there was a turmoil in Baiyue, and its strength was greatly reduced. Then, Chu State pulled South Korea to attack together, but the country was completely destroyed, and the dragon was for the former barbaric country.
The entire country is torn apart, and the current rulers are the patriarchs of various tribes. Most of the original cities have been abandoned and destroyed, and the citizens have also entered the mountains and forests, becoming almost savages.
Such an existence, saying that they are a threat to the state of Chu, is really a joke.
The reason why the current state of Chu did not take action against the Baiyue Land is that it is wild and has no value at all except for the population.
In addition, the state of Chu is now constrained by many things, and cannot spare the time to clean up this Baiyue land.
And once the troubles were resolved by the state of Chu and the results of the current battle were digested, the land of Baiyue was probably the fate that was swallowed by the state of Chu.
It is precisely because of the unique advantages that the Chu State has today that he is worried that this alliance is coming for him.
It is precisely because of this that when the Chu State heard that the United Alliance had invited the Chu State to join, they agreed without hesitation, even with a little urgency.
At this point, the original six-nation vertical alliance was formed again.
The world will usher in violent turbulence again, and welcome more turbulent fires of war!
