Chapter 302
In the eighth year of Emperor Yuan, in mid-May.
Under Zhao Guo's well-planned surprise attack, they took down Qi's eastern barrier, Xue County, very smoothly.
Ever since, Qi State was shocked, and the world was shocked. No one would have guessed that Zhao State would cross Wei State's territory and invade Qi State, which was not bordered by itself.
Immediately afterwards, there was panic in the whole country of Qi, and the thoughts of all countries in the world were undercurrent.
From the current situation, with the end of the two alliances, not only did the countries not become calm, but they became more chaotic, more weird, and elusive.
The turmoil in it can't help but make all interested people pay attention and prepare to plan something out of it.
late May.
After taking down the entire Xue County, the 200,000 Zhao army left only 50,000 people stationed in Xue County, preparing to stop the 100,000 Qi elites who were about to return to the country frantically.
The remaining 150,000 elite soldiers rushed straight to Langya County of Qi State without stopping, and took half of the territory of Langya County in only ten days, and the soldiers pointed directly at Langya City, the capital of Qi State.
At this time, Langya City was still immersed in the horror and disbelief of Zhao Guo's attack. The city was in chaos, and there was no order at all.
When the 150,000 troops of Zhao State came to the city of Langya, there were only 100,000 soldiers in the city who had just assembled and 50,000 old and weak soldiers of Qi State who had just assembled and were terrified.
This level of strength, compared with the elites of the Zhao Kingdom outside the city, it is not worth mentioning how ten times the difference is.
Li Mu, the commander-in-chief outside the city of Zhao, believed that as long as he was given a month, he would be able to take down the panic-stricken Langya city and completely wipe out the last foundation of Qi.
Then raise troops to go north to take the remaining Jiaodong County of Qi State, and add three counties to the territory of Zhao State, with a population of one million.
If Qi State can be annexed, then Zhao State will become a big country comparable to Qin and Chu, and become a decisive force in the world.
So, with such ambition, Li Mu directly ordered the whole army to attack at the moment when the army had been assembled and its strength and morale reached its peak, hoping to take this opportunity to defeat Langya City.
The battle surrounding the destination of Langya City has reached 200,000 soldiers. The outcome of this war will determine the rise and fall of Qi.
At the same time, at the border between Wei State and Tao State.
When the commander-in-chief of the Qi army heard that his motherland was being attacked, the capital of the country was about to be breached, and it was in danger.
Under the panic, he didn't care about whether he was an ally or not, or whether he was a barrier or not. Regardless of the pleadings of Tao Guo, he directly raised troops overnight and returned to the country to support.
After rushing on the road, in just three days, 100,000 Qi elites crossed the entire territory of Tao and rushed to the border of Xue County, where fierce battles and conflicts broke out with Zhao's defenders there.
However, although Qi has many soldiers, its strength is stronger than that of Zhao. However, after all, Zhao's army had the advantage of defending the city, but Qi's army was difficult to break through for a while, opening the way back to the country, and the two sides stalemate.
And Tao and Wei, without the intervention of external forces, once again broke out a tragic war.
This time Wei Guo didn't hold back, and now he managed to persuade his allies, King Zhao, who had a life-and-death relationship with him, attacked Qi State under his own temptation and persuasion, and put Qi State's pressure on him remove.
Now, all foreign aid from Tao Country has been removed, and it is a golden opportunity to defeat him and regain Tao County.
So the Wei army roared up, sweeping up and down Tao Kingdom with an unstoppable momentum.
However, Tao Kingdom still has certain strength after all, and there are still three important towns left behind. Wei Guo wants to break through, but it is impossible for a while, Tao Guo should last another month.
mid-June.
When the war broke out surrounding the four Central Plains countries Tao, Wei, Qi, and Zhao, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the world.
The area of these four countries covers most of the entire Central Plains, and even with the addition of Zhao, even the northern border has been affected. It can be said that almost half of the world has been affected by this war.
Naturally, it is impossible for such a big move not to arouse the eyes and vigilance of all countries, as well as the little thoughts in their hearts.
The state of Chu has such thoughts. He used to take advantage of the internal chaos of the enemy country, or the death of the monarch, or the outbreak of civil strife, or war with other countries, to invade other countries and take advantage of the custom of merging the territory of this country. .
So Chu State immediately sent out troops, taking advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the idea of taking a piece of territory in these countries, but in the end they didn't act.
There is also a Yue country in the south of him, which gives him a headache, how can he have the energy to provoke these other lunatics, isn't he afraid of causing trouble to his upper body?
Therefore, Chu State could only lament, sharpen their swords again, and send 200,000 elite troops to go south again to invade Yue State, preparing to destroy Yue State in one fell swoop when there is no external pressure.
Therefore, south of the Huai River. A war surrounding the domination and hegemony of the Jiangdong area has begun.
Whether you want to regain your lost ground, once again stabilize your rear, and solve the hidden dangers of Chu State. Or for the sake of its own survival, the country of Yue, which had to fight hard, devoted all its strength to this war.
All of a sudden, following the large-scale melee in the Hebei region of the Central Plains, the melee between Chu and Yue surrounding Jiangzuo hegemony in the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River kicked off again. A battle with an army size of more than 30 is about to start!
late June.
Just when Zhao Guo continued to attack violently, Qi Guo was almost out of breath, turned his head all of a sudden, and fell down.
Qin, the original overlord of the world, had to extinguish its edge for a while because of the appearance of the coalition forces, died down, withdrew to the pass and hid, slowly recovering from his injuries.
Now after several years of self-cultivation, the pain caused by the war in Qin State has also been relieved a little.
After several years of adjustments, Qin's development was back on track, and military rations were restocked. Batch after batch of ordnance was forged in Qin's arsenal. One man after another became a qualified soldier under training.
Everything is ready, Qin Guo sees the situation of the Kanto countries again, it has become a complete mess, and Yu Guo, who was originally very active in the world, is the leader of the two alliances.
It seems that they have completely withdrawn from this stage called the world, and completely handed over the performance to Wei Guo. These countries gradually faded out of people's sight, as if they no longer interfered in the affairs of the Central Plains.
This could not help but move Qin Guo, but for the sake of caution, although he wanted to touch the six countries, he did not pick South Korea, which was the weakest in front of him. Because he has an in-law relationship with Yu Guo, he is afraid that if he is moved, he will lead to the behemoth Yu Guo behind Han Han.
Even Wei Guo, who was next to South Korea, didn't dare to move, and instead picked Zhao Guo, who was thousands of miles away from South Korea.
The terrifying war machine of the Qin State was turned on, and all things that had nothing to do with war stopped, and everything was only for the war.
That's it, not long after.
