The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 346

[Chapter 341 Wuwei Shang]

The ninth year of Emperor Yuan, February.

The situation in the world is intricate and complicated, often like a flower, coming one after another from the eyes of people, but it is fleeting and difficult to trace.

However, until now, the situation of the melee between countries last year has finally come to an end, and the situation has gradually become clear.

The state of Qi experienced many twists and turns. King Qi fled to Jiaodong County. The court was in a state of confusion, and King Qi’s majesty was greatly damaged.

However, the power of the tiger is still there, not to mention that the fierce tiger of King Qi has not died, so with his past majesty, he can still calm the impetuous human nature of Jiaodong County.

Immediately after taking Jiaodong County as a springboard, after pacifying and returning to the aid, after a bloody battle, only 50,000 elite troops remained.

With this army and some soldiers and horses from Jiaodong County, they regained control of the remaining three counties of Qi State, and their momentum recovered slightly.

However, the population of the remaining three counties in Qi State is becoming more and more withered, and only about one million remains. This is because the Zhao army came to Qi State soon, and it was because of the evacuation of the war in the rear, otherwise the population would decline even more.

The Qi State had only 150,000 soldiers and horses left, of which only 50,000 were elites, making it a small country of last resort.

The Tao Kingdom in the east of Qi Kingdom, after losing the aid of Qi Kingdom, had no support anymore, and faced the army of Wei Kingdom, but could no longer support it.

However, he did not collapse all at once, but lasted for a long time, until two months ago, that is, at the end of the year, he was eliminated by the Wei army.

The reason is that Wei Guo was frightened by what happened to Qi, Zhao, and Qin before, for fear that when he mobilized a large army to attack Tao Guo, someone else would suddenly come behind him, which would not be fun. .

Therefore, Wei’s offensive was suspended, and the troops and horses were on standby at any time, ready to return to aid immediately.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement after three or four months, Wei Guocai was a little relieved, and the offensive that had been suspended became fierce again.

As a result, because of the previous turmoil, Tao Guo, who had just calmed down and thought he had escaped the disaster again.

Under the storm-like attack of the Wei Kingdom, it persisted in only one month before it was destroyed. It was completely announced that this small country, which was founded only two years ago, and whose territory was only one county, ended its history in a very short lifespan.

Wei State also retracted its eastern barrier, so that his rear no longer had to worry about, avoiding the danger of being directly attacked by the city.

However, after this battle, Wei’s national strength was consumed a lot.

Even if the population of Tao County is obtained, the strength is slightly increased, but it is not as good as before the war.

Although the current population of Wei is still around 2 million, his troops are only 200,000, of which only 100,000 are elites, and their strength is greatly reduced.

However, the power is still maintained at the level of a second-rate power.

However, after the reinforcements returned, Zhao State held the Taihang Mountains and blocked Qin State to the west of the Taihang Mountains.

Coupled with the civil strife in the rear of the Qin state, the offensive of the Qin army on the opposite side was not very violent, and it was directly calmed down later.

In the past few months, there have been no major changes, and the current territorial division has basically been maintained.

However, after Zhao lost the three counties of Shangdang County, Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, the population of the site was greatly reduced.

Today, there are only four counties, and the population is only about 1.2 million. Among them, there are still 200,000 troops and about 150,000 elites. It is still a second-rate power.

Let’s talk about Qin again. After acquiring the three counties of Zhao, they left some troops and horses to guard against Zhao’s counterattack.

The rest of the army was all transferred back to Guanzhong to quell the chaos caused by Liu Bang and others.

Liu Bangyun’s army in the two places added up to no more than 50,000 people.

It was able to wreak havoc for a while, and it once caused panic in Guanzhong.

However, he chose the Kongzhong army who was weak in defense.

Now that the army returned to help, they immediately lost their arrogant capital, and they all died down, and fled back to the old site with the army in despair.

But when they left, they didn’t do anything good for Qin.

They burned, killed, and looted all over the Qin state, leaving behind ruins and corpses.

After all their tossing, Longxi County and Shang County were completely abolished, more than half of the population in the county was lost, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

Longxi County and Shang County are the old territory of the Qin state, and they have a history of hundreds of years when they were incorporated into the Qin state.

Especially in Longxi County, where the Qin people originated and grew, where dozens of monarchs of the Qin state are buried, which can be said to be the foundation of their ancestors.

Although the capital of Qin State moved eastward and gradually left Longxi County, it was still where the old capital was, and the tombs of the ancestors were still buried there.

Therefore, the Qin State also attached great importance to the development there, and regarded it as an important base for training the Qin State’s cavalry.

Therefore,

The population of Longxi County is quite prosperous, with a population of 600,000.

Being so ravaged by Liu Bang, he lost nearly 400,000 yuan, and the damage was great.

The population of Shangjun is also quite large, with about 400,000 people.

Under the scourge of the countries in the cloud, the population has also lost 200,000, and it has almost become ruins.

The three counties that Qin State recovered from Zhao State had a population of about 800,000.

However, the Qin State did the slaughtering of the city and the family there, which was no different from what Liu Bang and others did, so the population of these three counties was also lost a lot.

In the end, when Qin and Zhao went on strike, the total population of the three counties was only about 300,000.

Because of the war, the original prosperous and prosperous land has become ruins.

And although the countries in the cloud and the Liang country where Liu Bang was located retreated, the Qin country did not let them go.

Instead, they divided their troops into two groups, each with nearly 200,000 troops attacking, like the momentum of Mount Tai, a posture that vowed to destroy him.

The two forces were terrified and asked for help from the big man behind them, Yuguo.

However, the actions of these two people were not the instructions of Yuguo. They caused trouble themselves, but they wanted to find their boss.

Why didn’t they think about the boss when they got rich?

Therefore, the Royal Kingdom directly refused.

His request was rejected, and both sides were desperate.

He had the intention to surrender to Qin, but Naihe had done too much in Qin at first, leaving no room for him, and now he wanted to surrender, but it was impossible.

So I could only reluctantly grit my teeth and resist.

All the forces that could be recruited in the country were recruited, from children who were waiting to be fed, to old men with gray hair, and women who were strong and healthy, and they all recruited into the army as their army to resist Qin.

After such a squeeze, the two sides will each have an army of 80,000 or 90,000, or 40,000 or 50,000.

The momentum does not look small, but how much water is in it, you can only know in your heart.
