In the court of Wei State, south of Zhao State, there was a solemn atmosphere.
The Secretary of the State of Wei stepped out to report, "Your Majesty, the Secretary of the State of Zhao, Ji Buxian, has been temporarily dismissed. Zhao has armed eight million elite troops with the technology of the Shang Kingdom and is attacking north with all its might."
There was silence in the court. Wei was worried that Zhao would suddenly attack them from the south - after all, the two countries were sworn enemies.
Besides, there is another worry - when two tigers fight, one will be injured and the bystander will gain. In the current situation, this is the most feared thing. And once the Zhao army attacks, Wei will have no choice but to fight back.
Fortunately, Zhao was not stupid and knew this truth. It did not immediately seek revenge on Wei, but instead attacked to the north.
After hearing the news, the rulers and ministers of Wei felt relieved, but at the same time, they suddenly felt a heavy pressure: the time for expansion has come, Zhao has already begun to expand and leave, so shouldn’t we fall behind
Open the map, to the west of Wei State is the Lingxiao Mountains which stretch for tens of thousands of miles. On the Lingxiao Mountains corresponding to Wei State, there is also a powerful organization - the Demonic Alliance and the Sun and Moon Without Borders!
To the south of Wei was the Western Chu Kingdom, which was also not a good match. There was a Jidao Sect in the Western Chu Kingdom, and the young master of the Jidao Sect, Wen Xiaowei, was the first person from the central countries of Yingzhou to go to the Shang Kingdom, and brought back many good things from the Shang Kingdom - such as supersonic aircraft.
Therefore, the Western Chu State is still very powerful now.
After all the calculations, if the Wei State wanted to expand, there was only one direction, and that was the East!
Several countries in the East are relatively weak.
"Since Zhao has already started, we can't wait. Let's mobilize our army and attack immediately!"
After the imperial edict was issued, the Wei State immediately began to organize its army. By dusk that day, more than five million elite troops were ready to rush out of the country and head eastward.
The Zhao State, which had been dormant for ten thousand years, broke out and destroyed three kingdoms in one day; the Wei State, which had also been dormant for ten thousand years, broke out and destroyed a country that night.
As Zhao and Wei broke out, Eastern Chu and Western Chu also broke out. Western Chu expanded westward and southward, while Eastern Chu expanded eastward and southward.
Central Yingzhou was inevitably in chaos. These powerful countries joined forces, and the surrounding small countries were no match for them. Several countries were destroyed in one day.
It should be said that these small countries were not so bad, but the big countries like Zhao and Wei had already planted spies in their own countries. Even the prime ministers of some countries were spies, spies who had been lurking for hundreds of years!
For a time, people in central Yingzhou were in a panic! The flames of war were burning on the land, and ordinary people were like weeds, being burned to ashes by the flames of war.
…
In the west, in Ningguo, Zhang Quan stood on the seashore and looked into the distance. After more than a month of frantic research, Ningguo's first real "ironclad ship" was born.
It is 80 meters long and 16 meters wide, and is made entirely of steel. However, the casting is very primitive, because the welding of the ship is all made of "true essence", just like kneading mud, to piece the ship together.
Such a ship is of course fragile, but this is compared with the Shang Dynasty. If it is in the western part of Yingzhou, it is the first ironclad ship and the first battleship in the western part of Yingzhou.
