The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 260: A brief period of peace

Views:

Time is long and fleeting.

Now, half a year has passed since that war. During these six months, something happened that surprised many people in the world.

First of all, the original three battlefields of the upper, middle and lower battlefields completely stopped the continuous war with more than two million people. This allowed the people of the world, who were already burdened by the war, to have some respite.

However, before they could take a deep breath and enjoy this rare moment of peace, another piece of news that made them feel desperate came over.

The leader of the alliance, the current Hezongchang Yuguo. After losing the battle in the central part of the country, he once again urgently mobilized 150,000 troops from the country to prepare for another war against Qin.

The arrival of such desperate news caused greater panic among people all over the world.

They vaguely understood that the war did not seem to stop based on their wishes. On the contrary, the situation is getting more and more intense, and the scope of the war will slowly spread from the border between the central coalition forces and Qin to the entire world.

Drag all the people into the flames of war until they are burned out and lose all their power.

However, just when everyone thought they were about to face another battle, although the scale was not as large as the previous one with one million people, it still had a scale of seven to eight hundred thousand people.

Just when they were mentally prepared to face greater suffering and death, the war took a dramatic change.

The Qin State, which has always been known for being fearless, brave and good at fighting, actually retreated for the first time in the face of the provocation of the coalition forces.

There wasn't even a head-on battle, there wasn't even a checkout involving a thousand people. He just heard the news of the coalition forces and fled far away. The entire Sanchuan County was evacuated, and the 400,000 people there were handed over to the coalition forces and South Korea.

Although this sudden news was expected by the coalition forces, it still surprised them. Especially the King of Han, he was mentally prepared to lose the remaining 20,000 troops. After all, this time it was for South Korea to seize territory and sacrifice, which is what it should be.

But who would have thought that Qin would be like this? This news undoubtedly made King Han overjoyed. Without spending a single soldier, he not only preserved his current strength, but also obtained the twelve counties of Yingchuan County that had not been affected by the war. The county is truly a windfall.

As for the other countries, this expedition was originally intended to completely contain the strength of the Qin State within Hangu Pass, and also to support the weak South Korea.

So although I was extremely jealous of South Korea's luck this time, I just grumbled a little and was a little dissatisfied. I didn't say anything about going back on my word.

What's more, the Qin army can be forced back to Hangu Pass without losing any troops, which is also good news for all countries.

Today's countries, like South Korea, have experienced the effects of war and are in ruins.

If they continue to lose some troops, they will undoubtedly damage their respective national strength. Why bother!

In short, with the Qin State's forces all shrinking back to Hangu Pass, the war between the Qin State and the alliance finally ended completely after three years.

The people of the world have finally ushered in what they call peace!

But, how long can this peace last? No one can know.

In the eyes of the people of the world, this time the alliance has gained so much territory, it will definitely take decades of good rest, at least more than ten years, to digest the annexation and restore its strength that was lost due to the war. Qin will also be huddled in the pass, secretly licking the pain caused by the war.

For these reasons, people in the world take it for granted that they can enjoy a period of peace, which will last for 5 to 10 years.

Therefore, whether it is the people of the world, the Qin State, or even the coalition forces, they are inevitably trapped in the yearning for peace.

Slowly, I became somewhat relaxed.

Similarly, because the battle between the two sides attracted the attention of the world, it attracted the attention of most people. But there was another thing that also made people all over the world pay attention to the actions of the coalition forces and Qin.

The Taoist sects and medical schools headed by the Mohists, as well as the Guigu sect headed by Wei Zhuang, famous families, and hundreds of schools of thought all announced that they would move to Yuguo. Only some personnel who could barely protect them were stationed in the original basic territories of their respective schools, while the rest all moved to the northern imperial kingdom.

This news shocked everyone in the world, especially the remaining scholars who were waiting and watching. They were even more shocked.

They did not expect that all the major sects that they needed to look up to in the past would unite together and pledge allegiance to Yuguo, a barbarian country that had just emerged in the north. They were really surprised.

Likewise, this news has aroused the thoughts of many thoughtful people, causing them to ponder, where will the future of the world go? Will the center of gravity of the world shift from Qin in the west to Yu in the north? Will they and the power schools they each represent face such a fateful choice

Moreover, in addition to the core disciples of this university sect, those who actually moved to the north also had a large number of forces attached to this university sect, including some small schools.

It's just that these schools of thought are too small and can only influence one county. They are local forces, unlike the Mohist and Taoist schools, which are popular among university schools all over the world.

But it is these small sects, and their combined strength is not weaker than the big sects such as the Mohists. On the contrary, they are still victorious because of their numerical advantage.

After this, the martial arts scene in the northern part of the imperial kingdom began to flourish, and various theories proliferated. Although there are countless well-educated people in China, they each have their own ideas. But after all, they are not as organized and large as these schools, and they are still inferior in terms of communication.

However, now the entire Imperial Kingdom is still somewhat resistant to these foreign schools of thought, even though His Majesty the Emperor ordered them to be welcomed and properly accommodated.

But it is still impossible for them to put down everything, integrate with those schools of thought, and accept their ideas. Therefore, the ideas of some local schools of thought are still deeply rooted.

Therefore, regarding this situation, we started discussions one after another with some local writers, famous celebrities, and leaders of various schools, and gradually merged their thoughts. Home convergence.

Such a grand occasion is already many times more prosperous than the Jixia Academy before the disaster of Qi State! It aroused the yearning of all the learned people in the world, and began to go to Yuguo to participate in the grand event!
