After that, Zhao State, which had the advantage in military strength, after defeating the main force of the Qin army, carried out an operation to cast a wide net and catch more fish.
Although tens of thousands of the 150,000-strong army were lost due to the attack on the Qin army, there were still 120,000 of them, all of which were divided into several armies and went to various parts of Taiyuan to take over the city.
After hearing the news of the arrival of his late king's master, powerful and famous people from all over the country and the people of Zhao Kingdom came to take over one after another.
They either took the initiative to kill the defenders and surrendered to the city, or they suddenly launched an attack when Zhao Jun was attacking the city. With the help of these people, Zhao Jun captured most of Taiyuan County without much loss.
And the troops sent out actually grew several times. The original 120,000 troops gathered at the foot of Jinyang City, preparing to launch a general attack and capture the capital of Taiyuan County in one fell swoop. The number had actually reached 200,000. .
In this way, we can see how wealthy Taiyuan County is and how large its population is.
80,000 troops, including those who were lost in battle with the Qin army due to early launch of the offensive.
Afterwards, King Zhao made statistics by himself. The whole of Jinyang, except for the 80,000 troops who came here.
Before, some people died in battles with the Qin army, or some people withdrew from the rebel army for some reason, or some people got lost and did not return in time. One after another, Taiyuan County gave him 100,000 yuan. Army.
This was fully twice what the Qin army had in hand. This was because it was a local uprising, not a national mobilization, and it could not fully explore Taiyuan's potential.
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 built water conservancy projects, developed farmland, recruited refugees, recuperated and recuperated, and the population has grown rapidly. It has become 680,000 today, nearly 700,000.
These 700,000 people, calculated by drawing one out of five people, are even more ruthless, and can recruit almost 150,000 people.
Of course, it is impossible to do this. If this is really done, I am afraid that the hearts of the people of Zhao who have just surrendered will be dispersed immediately!
Therefore, King Zao Zhao had no intention of doing this. Except for those who had died or escaped before, forget it. He only planned to recruit 100,000 troops in Taiyuan County and incorporate them into his own army. As he continued Set out to conquer Qin.
King Zhao's army finally arrived at Taiyuan County.
In Jinyang City, this originally prosperous city was now sparsely populated, with every household closed in. The Qin Army implemented martial law in the city.
The previous rebellions in various cities in Taiyuan County have deeply intimidated the defender of Jinyang City, so he would rather kill the wrong person than let go, and never trust anyone in Taiyuan County again.
Anxious, he distributed the remaining 5,000 troops to the top of the city and left 2,000 more in the city to frighten those who had certain thoughts.
Unfortunately, even though he made all the preparations possible, he still could not prevent the fall of Jinyang City.
The people in the city had already abandoned the Qin State and chose to return to the Zhao State. How could the people of Qin, who had lost the support of the people, hold on to this city that was full of worries both inside and outside.
There are only 5,000 defenders left, and 2,000 more will be left to prevent possible rebellion in the car.
There were only three thousand people left, scattered on the city wall that was dozens of miles long, and there was only one person several meters away. This kind of lax city defense could only be defeated in one battle for the nearly 200,000 Zhao troops outside the city.
Jinyang City did not stop the Zhao army for long. In just three hours, the entire Jinyang City was completely under the rule of the Zhao State that day, and the Qin State guard in the city also committed suicide in defeat.
Taiyuan County, the land that Zhao State had lost for more than ten years, was finally fully recovered today.
As for Xinzheng in South Korea, on the day that Zhao Guo captured Jinyang, the 200,000 Yuguo army that was rushed over defeated the 40,000 to 50,000 Qin troops lingering outside the city, completely relieving the siege.
Although the siege of Xinzheng was lifted, there was no joy among the Korean people in the city.
Today's South Korea, as mentioned before, is full of holes and holes, and the whole country is in devastation.
And the most important thing is that the entire South Korea, after this war, there is no cap on the number of men the whole country can collect, including those over thirteen years old. He can only recruit less than 50,000 people. With such an extremely weak field? How can we hold on to South Korea’s current territory!
Therefore, although the siege has been resolved and the worry of national annihilation is temporarily gone, South Korea still has deep fears and worries about the future fate of South Korea.
Deep in their hearts, they couldn't help but think that South Korea's strength was now not even comparable to that of a county in Qin. Although it is better than one county, it is only the strength of three or five counties.
With this kind of strength, let alone being called a prince, even wanting to be a separatist force in a place and barely maintaining a certain degree of independence is a delusion.
But South Korea now has one county and more than a dozen counties, and a lot of people are left behind. Although they are old, weak, women and children, they are still a piece of fat. At this moment, many surrounding princes must be looking at it greedily. Watch closely.
How can we not make them feel worried and scared in this crisis-ridden situation
After all, they don't know that the current commander-in-chief, Zhong Yu, plans to grab one or two Qin counties 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 am afraid that what they are afraid of now is whether the Hezongchang in front of them will take advantage of South Korea's low strength and directly annex it on the spot.
However, all this is still their own thoughts and has not been directly revealed. It will take contact and conversation between the two parties to achieve their respective interests before there will be a satisfactory result.
Now that we have finished talking about the situation of the Six Kingdoms in Guandong, let’s talk about the Qin State. Today, the Qin State is mobilizing all over the country. All around, counties and counties are constantly sending troops and horses towards Xianyang.
Among them, the counties in Guanzhong were the fastest growing. After all, they were lands that had been ruled by the Qin people for hundreds of years. The people living above are all old Qin people who have lived for hundreds of years. Their feelings and loyalty to Qin should not be mentioned.
The 800-mile Qinchuan River in Guanzhong, especially the Zhengguo Canal currently under construction, has been mostly completed and has become a fertile land.
The mountains of grain and grass and Xianyang formed a strict weapons production process. Tens of thousands of craftsmen gathered there to produce one murderous weapon after another.
With these sufficient military supplies, these armies were quickly fully equipped and once again became brave and capable soldiers.
