With Han Fei's mission, the whole world changed with his actions. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a huge change.
Han Fei's first target was the State of Zhao. Due to the hatred between the State of Zhao and the State of Qin, he still has not forgotten it and is constantly being invaded by the State of Qin.
So when Han Fei came and expressed his willingness to join forces to attack Qin, King Zhao agreed on the spot.
Although the court was obstructed in every possible way by the ministers who had been bribed by Qin, they far underestimated the extent of their king's vigilance towards Qin.
This is also the norm for kings of every country nowadays. If possible, who would want to be a king who trembles when he hears Qin's attack.
There was just no chance before. It was difficult for me to resist Qin alone. In order not to be removed from the state, the ancestral temple was destroyed and the country was destroyed, so I had to bow to Qin.
Even so, every king of Zhao State adopts resolute resistance tactics against Qin State. Looking at the battles between Qin State and Zhao State, even if they win, they themselves will lose most of them and their vitality will be greatly damaged.
King Zhao's decision made all the loyal ministers of Zhao State rejoice. They all expressed their support for the joint strategy of attacking Qin, and worked vigorously for this alliance, hoping to promote its emergence as soon as possible.
Seeing that King Zhao had agreed, Han Fei stayed for more than ten days to discuss some of the details of the alliance, such as who to elect as the joint commander and how many troops Zhao would send? From where to attack? The supply of military rations also needs to be resolved, and these require careful discussion between Han Fei and King Zhao.
Finally, Han Fei timely expressed his attitude towards South Korea and elected the emperor of a country as the joint commander.
In addition, South Korea will send 100,000 troops to defeat Qin with all its strength, and South Korea will also bear some of the military rations for the United Army in South Korea.
After hearing Han Fei's words, King Zhao thought for a while.
After thinking about it, I felt that with the current strength of Zhao State, it was at the bottom among the other countries. Although it was better than Yan and Han, it was even worse than Wei State.
With this kind of strength, it is simply impossible to compete for the position of joint commander, although he is somewhat unwilling to let Yuguo, a tribe of barbarians in his eyes, become the joint commander of all countries.
But thinking about the strength that Yu Guo was willing to put in to conquer Qin, a 300,000-strong army, a number that suffocated the current Zhao State, he could only reluctantly agree.
The strength of the State of Zhao was very strong for a period of time in the late Warring States Period. In the eyes of the people at that time, they all believed that the State of Zhao was the only one in the world who could compete with the State of Qin.
Since King Wuling of Zhao, Hu Fu, rode and shot, the territory of Zhao State has expanded three times in a short period of time, and the originally fragmented land has been connected, creating a vast depth and rear.
There is no need to worry about being cut off from other countries at will by other countries, and you can rest and recuperate with peace of mind.
Since then, the strength of Zhao State has expanded several times, and after King Zhao Wen's recuperation, Zhao State's foundation has become deeper, and it has suddenly become a powerful country that can compete with the powerful Qin.
This can be seen from the fact that Zhao State was able to send 400,000 troops and faced Qin State in the Changping War. Although it failed, it was just a strategic mistake, not that Zhao's army was incompetent.
But now the strength of Zhao State is not enough. 2/3 of the territory is occupied by Qin State. Now only HD County and Dai County are left. Dai County is even more barbaric. Although the land is vast, its population is only 30 Ten thousand.
The real highlight is the current HD County, which has a population of over one million and supports as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses. These strengths are the basis for Zhao to maintain its reputation as a powerful country today.
The 150,000 soldiers in HD County, plus the 50,000 soldiers in Dai County, make the entire Zhao Kingdom 200,000 soldiers and horses.
King Zhao heard that South Korea, a small and weak country with only one county, was willing to send 100,000 troops to attack Qin. Naturally, it is impossible for him, Zhao Guowu, to fall behind and be ridiculed by others.
Therefore, he said that he would send out 150,000 troops to conquer Qin with all his strength, and he would strongly support the alliance army's food and grass in Zhao.
With these promises from King Zhao, Han Fei was extremely satisfied, expressed his gratitude to King Zhao, and then prepared to leave.
Seeing Han Fei's departure, King Zhao funded him with another 300 cavalry to use as guards on the road, as well as some vehicles and supplies.
In this way, Han Fei's team expanded to thousands of people, and it was still a strong force.
Han Fei's second target is Yan State.
Since Yan State was defeated by Yu State, it has lost half of its territory and its population has been greatly reduced, with only a little over a million left.
In addition, the country was hit by a war, and supplies were severely depleted. It was also plundered by the imperial country, which was even more unbearable. Now the army in the country can only be maintained at about 100,000. No matter how much more, the Yan Kingdom cannot afford to support it.
However, Yan Guo is now hiding in the corner, secretly licking his wounds.
Although their country was in such trouble and was almost destroyed, the top leaders of their country, including King Yan and Lord Yan Chun, still lived a life of wine and meat, extremely extravagant.
As a Yan Crown Prince Dan who was determined to revitalize the Yan Kingdom, it goes without saying that he felt sad and lonely in his heart when he saw the current situation of the Yan Kingdom.
But what's the use? Ever since he led the army on an expedition, the whole army was wiped out and he was left alone to come back. He has been considered by everyone in the Yan Kingdom to be a coward and an incompetent person.
He had lost the support of all the common people in the Yan Kingdom, and the upper-class nobles secretly laughed at and were disgusted with such a Yan Dan who was unwilling to go along with him.
All of this made Yan Dan almost unbearable, and she wanted to leave the country of Yan and live a wandering life in this world.
However, the love for his motherland and the faint desire for power in his heart still made Yan Dan unable to let go of all this, so he shamelessly continued to live in Jidu.
When he heard the news about Han Fei's mission to the six countries and the strategy of uniting the six countries to attack Qin, Yan Dan was so excited that he almost jumped up.
This was exactly the opportunity he had been waiting for. A fight between the two behemoths Yuguo and Qin would involve all their energy, and a war would definitely cost a lot of money. These two countries would have no time to take care of the small and remote country of Yan. .
Then Yan State can secretly lick its wounds, regain its strength, and strive for a period of development.
Therefore, Yan Dan strongly supported this cooperation. King Yan and others were afraid that if they did not cooperate, the army of Yu State would attack Yan State again.
And if the Yan Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom belong to the same alliance, then they are one of their own, and they don't have to worry about the Yu Kingdom around them attacking themselves and destroying the Yan Kingdom.
As for the Qin State, it is still separated from the Yan State by the lands of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Jin, so there is no need to worry too much.
Therefore, the King of Yan said that the State of Yan would send 100,000 troops to join the alliance and make Yu Guo the co-chief of the alliance.
