The arrival of the Qin army caused great panic in South Korea. If it were not for the 200,000 elite troops stationed around them, they might have surrendered in fear!
However, the Qin army on the opposite side was also afraid of the 200,000 cavalry of the imperial army. After arriving at Sanchuan County opposite South Korea, they did not dare to make any big moves. Instead, they stationed themselves on the spot, across the pass from the Korean imperial army. Confront each other.
This is also a strategy of the Qin State. The imperial army is thousands of miles away from their homeland. Compared with the Qin State, it can't be further away.
And if you rely on Yuguo to transport grain and grass supplies from the mainland, it will definitely be a huge waste. It will take less than a month to bring Yuguo down.
With the support of Shandong countries such as Han, Zhao and Wei, their strength has been continuously weakened due to wars, and their treasury has long been empty. How can they compare with Qin, which has a full treasury and sufficient soldiers and food
Just like the Battle of Changping, when Lian Po was the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army, Qin and Zhao fought for three years. In the previous two and a half years, there had been no major wars, just small fights.
The armies of Zhao and Qin were confronting each other across cities and passes, consuming each other's food and national strength, competing to see who could collapse first.
As a result, the Zhao State, which was closer and had lighter logistical pressure, was unable to sustain it one step ahead of the Qin State. With Zhao Kuo coming to power, the institute suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Changping.
Now, the situation is so similar to the original situation. Neither side is sure to win the other side, so let's drag it out and bet on which side of Qin or Yu will collapse first!
A long time passed like this, and after the mobilization of the Qin army, the world fell into calm again. This period of time lasted for half a year.
In the past six months, many things have happened in the world, attracting everyone's attention.
Among them is a grand immigration strategy that does not require land, but population!
According to the pre-war agreement, half of the population of the land captured by the alliance must be handed over to the imperial kingdom.
Among them, the Chu State is too powerful, almost as good as the Yu State, and has the weakest sense of crisis for the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, he has the strength and cannot break the agreement, so he goes his own way.
Moreover, the Yu State has nothing to do against the Chu State. They are far away and may not be able to win. What can he do
But the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei are different. They are the weakest. Although this time they annexed the four counties left by the Qin State, their strength has not expanded to the point where they can ignore the imperial kingdom and the pressure of the Qin State.
They knew very well that if they did not have the support of Yu Guo and stood in front to resist the pressure of the Qin army, then the meat they had just swallowed would most likely be quickly taken back by the Qin army who reacted.
What is even more terrifying is that the angry Qin army will directly attack their lands that were not affected by the war, making their already weak strength even more unbearable.
Therefore, in the face of Yuguo's request, although these three countries were extremely angry, they still had to smile and slowly fulfilled it.
Among them, the Wei State, which you had been threatened by Yu Guo before, was the most active.
The total population of the two newly recovered counties by the Wei Kingdom was about 800,000, and half of them were to be handed over to the Yu Kingdom. This cut off a large piece of flesh, as if it were placed on the King of Wei, making him feel heartbroken.
Of course, 400,000 people cannot be moved at will. This requires a process.
Where to rest these people on the way, and who should prepare food and supplies to ensure that they can reach the north safely, all require Yu Guo to argue with the three countries of Zhao and Wei Yan.
In the first month, Wei's initial 100,000 people began to mobilize.
Before each of the people had time to happily return to the embrace of their motherland, they were forcibly pulled out of their homes at night. They gathered one by one, tied their hands and feet with ropes, and rushed to the north under the supervision of soldiers.
Immediately, the impression of the Wei State in the hearts of the old people of these two counties dropped to a level even worse than that of the Qin State.
In the next five months, or half a year, these 400,000 people, more or less intermittently or continuously, finally set foot on the land of Yuguo.
Zhao State, on the other hand, captured Taiyuan County and Yanmen County and gained a population of 700,000. However, King Zhao had a strong temper and did not agree to the agreement to hand over half of the population at all, and was only willing to pay 1/3.
Zhong Yu thought about it and found that the territory of Zhao State was originally sparsely populated and not as rich as the Central Plains areas of South Korea and Wei State. If it was too weakened, it would affect the balance between them, so he reluctantly agreed.
The State of Zhao is close to the State of Yu, and it not only has its own channels for transporting the population, but also has the help of the State of Yu. Therefore, the migration and transportation of the population is much faster than that of the State of Wei.
The 230,000 people promised by Zhao State quickly set foot on the land of Yu State, which took only three months, and the efficiency was fully twice that of Wei State.
The population contributed by the two countries was all allocated to Yuguo's vast area. In just two or three months, they were all settled without any disturbance.
After all, the Imperial Kingdom, which covers an area of tens of thousands of miles, is too big. This small number of people is not enough for him to fill his teeth.
After Zhao State sent away these people, it transferred some soldiers and horses from the remaining people and Zhao State's original territory to reorganize an army of 300,000. Zhao State's momentum was once again shaken.
As for Wei, he lost 400,000 men and had 400,000 left, all of which were able to mobilize troops.
Moreover, the territory of these two counties is richer than the mountainous areas obtained by Zhao State. The Central Plains! Since ancient times, it has been famous for its fertile land and wealthy population.
With the resources of these two counties, Wei State's confidence increased greatly, and he directly formed his army of 400,000, which made all countries in the world tremble.
As for the Yan State, they did not benefit from this battle. Instead, they rushed to South Korea all the way, and their 100,000 troops joined the 200,000 people from the country.
These people, plus the 50,000 people reorganized by South Korea, totaled 350,000 troops, which was about the same number as the Qin State opposite, and the strength of the two was even closer.
Now that all the countries in the alliance have initially digested their own fruits, and the Qin State has also made preparations for a larger war in the future, the world has once again begun to be in turmoil.
This time, the Zhao State directly sent 250,000 troops. Except for leaving 50,000 troops to maintain the rule and order in various places, the rest were sent to Shangdang County, preparing to retake this place that the whole Zhao State was ashamed of.
As for the Wei State, they sent 300,000 troops to attack Hanoi County, the original territory of South Korea.
He: The main reason for doing this is to capture Hanoi County, then attack Hedong County, and regain the territory that Wei State had at its peak.
Don’t forget that Hedong was the capital of Wei State from the beginning, but was forced by Qin State and had to retreat to the current Daliang.
At the same time, if Hanoi is captured, the territories of Wei and Hedong can be combined together, and there will be no need to worry about separating the two sides.
