The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 333

[Chapter 328 The rise of the rebels]

??? In the sixth year of Emperor Yuan, in November.

In recent months, the domestic rebellion of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu has become more and more grand, and has gradually become more and more sweeping, jeopardizing the rule of the Three Kingdoms.

Because these places are tyrannical and powerful, they have a great influence locally, their influence spreads in all aspects, and their tentacles reach every family.

Therefore, many people were inspired by them to join the rebel army, and even the original local defenders directly changed their flags and changed their flags, and turned into rebels against tyranny.

As a result, within ten months, Jiangdong County, Tao County, Taiyuan County, all three counties were captured, and there was no more tentacles of the Three Kingdoms.

And with the land of these three counties, the forces of the rebels grew stronger and stronger, gradually swept across and touched other regions of the Three Kingdoms.

Among them, Wu County, Lujiang County, and Hengshan County in Chu State were all attacked by rebels. If it wasn’t for the resources of the court army in the rear, they would not be able to hold on.

But even so, it is still trying to support it. After all, most of all the troops of the state of Chu were brought to the battlefield of the state of Qi by the King of Chu. There is a sense of inadequacy.

The two countries of Zhao and Wei were not much different. Several counties were affected by the war, and the rebels became more and more powerful.

On the contrary, the imperial court’s anti-rebellion army was actually composed of private armies of some nobles. Under the scruples, it was quite unfavorable to suppress the rebellion.

He even lost several times in a row, fueling the arrogance of the rebels.

Especially the State of Wei, although it has a vast territory and labor, it is a long strip, curved and not very deep.

After Dongjun and Taojun were affected by the rebellion, Bingfeng pointed directly at Daliang, the capital of King Wei, and the country was in turmoil.

At the same time, the coalition forces that were attacking the Qi Kingdom had a new move when they saw that there was a rebellion in the country and they couldn’t resist it.

Among them, Wei State in particular, now the large army outside Wei State has been cut off from Tao County and Dong County, and has gradually lost contact with the Wei State itself, which is extremely dangerous.

Therefore, the king of Wei State was quite frightened. In a hurry, he submitted a letter of resignation to Zhong Yu. Ignoring his obstruction, he hurriedly led the 150,000 Wei troops in the coalition to withdraw their troops and marched towards Tao County, preparing to pacify the chaos. .

As soon as the Wei army left, the coalition’s original offensive against Qi suddenly turned to the defensive, maintaining the place that was occupied now.

And Chu State, when it received its own domestic rebellion, swept through five or six counties, and the number of rebels reached nearly 300,000, it was also quite flustered.

Despite the huge power of the nobles in the country, they quickly gathered an army of the same number to suppress it.

But the rebels were locals after all, and they had the advantage of a favorable location and people. They were able to fight with the imperial army in an inseparable battle, which made the war further mired in the quagmire and difficult to quell.

Therefore, after the rebels lost some cities, they hid all their troops and horses in the four southern counties.

In particular, the rebels in Hengshan County, after taking over most of the local youth, looted some local wealth, all withdrew to Lujiang County and joined the rebels in Lujiang, Kuaiji, and Wu County.

After the rebels in these four places joined together, their forces quickly increased, quickly defeating the remnant defenders of the Chu State that were holding on in Lujiang County and Wu County, and completely controlled these three counties.

After that, relying on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, the four counties that connected the area were quickly integrated into one. After a lot of entrustment of interests, a leader of a powerful family named Ouyang Chen was elected, and he was respected as the king of Yue.

According to the news spread by these rebels, this man named Ouyang Chen has the blood of King Goujian of Yue, and he is the descendant of the owner of the homeland of Yue. ‘s memories.

In addition to his own clan, the power is not weak, with an elite army of 50,000 people.

This number, among the rebels of only 300,000, is already quite strong.

You must know that among the rebels, the forces formed are quite complex. Most of the tyrants have only a few hundred or thousands of people, and very few have more than 10,000. They can count them with one hand.

This Ouyang Chen has 50,000 people, and he has already surpassed all the rebels.

The reason for this is that after all, his identity as a descendant of the King of Yue played a role, attracting a considerable number of the old people of the Yue Kingdom in Kuaiji to join, and this is how he has the current momentum.

Now he has got what he wanted, restored the social and legal system of his country, and he has become the master of the revival of the country, rebuilding the country again.

At the same time, in the south of the newly built Yue Kingdom, not long after it was defeated by the Chu Kingdom, on the land of the former Minyue Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom when the Minyue name heard about their ancestors was rebuilt again with the efforts of the descendants of the previous kings. .

With the same blood, they killed the local defenders of the Chu State, raised the banner of resistance again, and raised the county to join the newly-built Yue Kingdom, which greatly increased the momentum of the Yue Kingdom.

At this point, all the land south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is owned by the country of Yue.

Correspondingly, Chu State was hit hard, losing 1/4 of its land, as well as a population of more than one million, and its strength was greatly reduced.

Moreover, with the support of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it is not easy for the Chu State to want Du Jiang to quell the rebellion again.

With the current national strength of the state of Chu, after several years of wars, UU read www.

uukanshu.com and the large-scale rebellion in the country, there is no longer any national strength to defeat the newly established Vietnam and take back its own country.

It can be foreseen that the rise of this country of Yue is unstoppable, and the country of Chu can only bear this breath, slowly recover its national strength, and lick its wounds.

Therefore, when he heard that his own country had undergone this great change, the King of Chu was also quite shocked and frightened. The Yue State was located in the rear of the Chu State and could attack every piece of the Chu State’s land. If it was not destroyed, then the Chu State would No more energy to go out and expand.

Otherwise, who knows when the Yue Kingdom, which has hundreds of thousands of troops, will send troops to stab the chrysanthemum of the Chu Kingdom and give him a fatal blow!

In Zhao State, the rebellion was not that big.

There was also a rebellion, but there were really not many people with them.

Yan and Zhao were generous and elegiac, and they had been invaded by the Hu people and the Eastern Qin state for a long time.

In his character, he has long been strong, and at the same time, he is extremely stubborn about the discipline in the army.

This also led to their loyalty to the king, which was also quite profound.

Just like the Qin people’s allegiance to the King of Qin, it is no longer for the so-called fame and fortune, but deep loyalty in the blood.

This kind of inheritance from the blood is not something that these tyrants can agitate or even erase.

Therefore, Zhao State’s rebel army was the smallest, only more than 100,000. Although there was a little threat, it caused a lot of damage to Zhao State in the initial stage.

But soon, the Zhao court sent 200,000 troops to quell the rebellion.

In the battle with the rebels, many people who were trapped by the rebels turned their backs and dealt a fatal blow to the rebels.

Zhao Guo defeated these rebels without much effort, leaving only a small group to hide in the mountains and continue to resist.
