Chapter 200 The Situation of the Countries

After that, Zhao Guo, who had an advantage in military strength, carried out the action of casting a wide net and catching more fish after defeating the main force of the Qin army.

Although the 150,000 army lost tens of thousands due to the defeat of the Qin army, there were still 120,000 of them, all of whom were divided into several troops and went to various places in Taiyuan to receive the city.

Hearing the news of the arrival of his old master, the powerful and famous people from all over the country, and the people of Zhao State, all followed behind.

They either took the initiative to kill the defenders and surrendered in Kaesong, or they suddenly attacked when Zhao Jun was attacking the city. With the help of these people, Zhao Jun captured most of Taiyuan County without much loss at all.

Moreover, the army sent out has grown several times. The original 120,000 troops gathered under the city of Jinyang, ready to launch a general offensive, and when they took the capital of Taiyuan County in one fell swoop, they had already reached 200,000. .

In this way, we can see how rich Taiyuan County is and how large the population is.

80,000 troops, including those who were lost in the battle with the Qin army because of the early launch anyway.

Afterwards, King Zhao made his own statistics. The whole of Jinyang, except for the 80,000 troops who came here.

Before, some people died because of fighting with the Qin army, or some people quit the rebel army for some reason, or some people got lost and did not return in time. Before and after, Taiyuan County sent him 100,000 army.

This is twice as much as in the hands of the Qin army. This is because it is a local uprising, not a national mobilization, and the potential of Taiyuan cannot be fully explored.

According to the original statistics of Zhao State, when Taiyuan County was lost, the total population was about 500,000. Now, Taiyuan has been occupied by Qin State for more than ten years. It has become today's 680,000, nearly 700,000 people.

The 700,000 people, counting as one out of five people, are even more ruthless, and can almost recruit 150,000 people.

Of course, it is impossible to do things like this. If this is the case, I am afraid that the people of Zhao Guoren who have just attached themselves will immediately lose their hearts!

So Zhao Wang didn't intend to do this, except for those who died or escaped before, he just planned to recruit 100,000 troops in Taiyuan County, incorporate them into his own army, and continue to fight as he continued. Go to Qin.

King Zhao's army finally arrived at the city of Taiyuan County.

In the city of Jinyang, at this moment, the city, which was originally extremely prosperous, has been sparsely populated, and every household is closed, and the Qin army has imposed martial law in the city.

The previous rebellion in the cities of Taiyuan County had already deeply frightened the guards of Jinyang City, so he would rather kill the wrong than let him go, and never trust anyone in Taiyuan County.

In a hurry, he distributed the remaining 5,000 troops to the city, and left 2,000 in the city to deter those with certain thoughts.

It's a pity that even though he made all the preparations he could, he still couldn't stop the fate of Jinyang City from falling.

The people in the city have long abandoned Qin and chose to return to Zhao. How can the people of Qin who have lost the hearts of the people stick to this city that is full of worries inside and outside.

There are only 5,000 defenders left, and 2,000 are left to prevent possible rebellions in the car.

There were only 3,000 people left, distributed on the city wall that was tens of miles long, and there was only one person at a distance of several meters. This kind of lax city defense, for the nearly 200,000 Zhao troops outside the city, it was nothing more than a battle.

Jinyang City didn't stop Zhao Jun's footsteps for long. In just three hours, the entire Jinyang City was completely brought under the rule of Zhao State that day, and the guard of Qin State in the city was also defeated and committed suicide.

Taiyuan County, the land lost by Zhao Guo for more than ten years, has finally been completely regained today.

And South Korea's Xinzheng, on the day Zhao Guo took Jinyang, the 200,000 imperial army who were rushed over defeated the 40,000 to 50,000 Qin army lingering outside the city, and completely relieved the siege.

Although the siege of Xinzheng was lifted, the South Koreans in the city were not very happy.

Today's South Korea, as I said before, has ten rooms and nine empty rooms, full of holes, and the whole country is devastated.

And the most important thing is that in the whole of South Korea, after this great war, there is no limit to the number of males that can be collected by the whole country, including those over the age of 13. He can only recruit less than 50,000 people, with this extremely weak field? How can we keep South Korea's current territory!

So South Korea, although the siege has been lifted, and the worry of national annihilation is gone for the time being, there are deep fears and worries about the future fate of South Korea.

Deep down in their hearts, they couldn't help thinking that the strength of South Korea was not even comparable to a county in Qin State. Although it is better than one county, it is only the strength of three or five counties.

This kind of strength, not to mention being called a vassal, is just a delusion if you want to be a separatist force in a place and barely maintain a certain degree of independence.

However, South Korea now stands in one county, more than a dozen counties, and has left a large population. Although they are old and weak, women and children, they are still a piece of fat. At this moment, many princes in the surrounding area must be greedy. stare.

How can such a crisis-ridden situation not make them feel worried and afraid?

After all, they don't know that the current leader of Hezong, that is, Zhong Yu, intends to snatch one or two counties of Qin State for them and hand them over to South Korea, so that South Korea can maintain a certain strength and continue to exist as a vassal state go down.

I'm afraid that what they are afraid of now is whether the joint leader in front of them will take advantage of South Korea's low strength and directly annex it on the spot.

However, all of these are still their own thoughts, and they have not been directly expressed. There will be a satisfactory result after the contact and conversation between the two parties have reached their respective interests.

The situation of the six countries in the Kanto has been finished, so let’s talk about the Qin State. In today’s Qin State, all parts of the country are mobilizing, and the surrounding counties and counties are continuously sending troops to Xianyang.

Among them, the counties in Guanzhong were the fastest, and after all, they were the lands that had been ruled by the Qin people for hundreds of years. The people living above are all hundreds of years old Qin people. Don't talk about their feelings and loyalty to Qin.

Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away in Guanzhong, especially the Zhengguo Canal, which is currently under construction, has been completed more than half, and it has become a fertile land.

The mountains of grain and grass, and Xianyang formed a strict weapon production process. Tens of thousands of craftsmen gathered there to produce one after another murderous weapon.

With these sufficient military supplies, these armies were quickly fully equipped, and once again became heroic and skilled soldiers.
