In the eighth year of Emperor Yuan's reign, it was mid-May.
Under Zhao's carefully planned raid, they successfully captured the eastern barrier of Qi State, Xue County.
As a result, Qi State was shocked and the world was shocked. No one could have guessed that Zhao State would cross the territory of Wei State and invade Qi State, which was not bordering itself.
What followed was the panic in Qi and the thoughts of all the countries in the world.
From the current situation, with the end of the two mergers, not only have the countries not become calm, but they have become increasingly chaotic, weird and difficult to figure out.
The turbulence among them couldn't help but make all interested people pay attention and prepare to plan something from it.
Late May.
After capturing the entire Xue County, only 50,000 Zhao troops of 200,000 troops were left to garrison Xue County, preparing to block the 100,000 Qi elite who were about to return crazily to return to the country for reinforcements.
The remaining 150,000 elite troops rushed straight to Langya County of Qi State without stopping. It only took ten days to capture half of Langya County's territory, and their troops were directed towards Langya City, the capital of Qi State.
At this time, Langya City was still immersed in the horror and disbelief of Zhao's attack. The city was in chaos, with no order at all.
When Zhao's 150,000-strong army arrived at Langya City, there were only 100,000 old and weak soldiers from Qi who had just gathered in the city, and the army was terrified.
Compared with the elites of Zhao State outside the city, this kind of strength is ten times different, which is insignificant.
Li Mu, the commander outside the Zhao Kingdom, believed that as long as he was given a month, he could capture Langya City, which terrified the whole city, and completely wipe out the last traces of the Qi Kingdom.
Then he raised his troops and went north to capture the remaining Jiaodong County of Qi State, adding three more counties and a population of one million to the territory of Zhao State.
If it can annex Qi, then Zhao will become a great country comparable to Qin and Chu, and become a decisive force in the world.
Therefore, Li Mu, who had this kind of ambition, directly ordered the entire army to attack when the army had been assembled and the strength and morale had reached its peak, hoping to take advantage of this to conquer Langya City.
The war surrounding the fate of Langya City has reached a total of 200,000 troops. The outcome of this war will determine the rise, fall and destruction of the Qi State.
At the same time, at the border between Wei and Tao.
When the commander-in-chief of the Qi army heard that his homeland was being attacked, the capital was about to be captured and was in danger.
In the panic, he could not care about allies or not, barriers or not. Ignoring Tao's pleas, he raised troops overnight and quickly returned to support the country.
In a hurry, in just three days, 100,000 Qi elites crossed the entire territory of Tao State and rushed to the border of Xue County, where fierce battles and conflicts broke out with the Zhao State defenders there.
However, although Qi's army has many soldiers, its strength is better than that of Zhao's army. But after all, the Zhao army had the advantage of defending the city, but the Qi army was unable to break through it for a while, opening the way back to the country, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
However, without the intervention of external forces, another fierce war broke out between Tao and Wei.
This time Wei did not hold back. Now he finally persuaded his allies. King Zhao, who had a life-and-death relationship with him, attacked Qi under his temptation and persuasion, putting Qi's pressure on him Remove.
Now, all the foreign aid from Tao Kingdom has been removed, which is a golden opportunity to defeat him and recapture Tao County.
Therefore, the Wei army roared up and swept through the Tao Kingdom with an overwhelming and unstoppable force.
However, Tao State still has a certain strength after all, and there are still three important towns staying ahead. If Wei wanted to break through, it would not be possible for a while. Tao should be able to hold on for another month.
Mid-June.
When the war broke out surrounding the four Central Plains countries of Tao, Wei, Qi, and Zhao, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the world.
The area of these four countries covers most of the entire Central Plains, and even the Zhao Kingdom has an influence on Northern Xinjiang. It can be said that almost half of the world has been affected by this war.
Such a big move would naturally not fail to arouse the attention and vigilance of all countries, as well as a little bit of caution in their hearts.
Chu State had this idea. In the past, it had the custom of taking advantage of the chaos in the enemy country, the death of the king, the outbreak of civil strife in the country, or the war with other countries to invade other countries and annex the territory of that country. .
Therefore, the Chu State immediately sent out troops to take advantage of the chaos to gain territory in these countries, but in the end no action was taken.
There is also a Yue country to his south, which gives him a lot of headaches. How can he still have the energy to provoke these other lunatics without fear of getting into trouble
Therefore, the whole Chu State could only lament and sharpen their swords again. They sent 200,000 elite troops south again to invade the Yue State, preparing to destroy the Yue State in one fell swoop when there was no external pressure.
Therefore, south of the Huaihe River. A war surrounding the dominance of the Jiangdong region began.
Whether it is the Chu State that wants to regain its lost territory, once again stabilize its rear, and solve hidden dangers. Or the Yue State, which had to fight hard for its own survival, invested all its strength in this war.
Suddenly, following the large-scale melee in the Hebei region of the Central Plains, the Chu-Vietnam melee surrounding the hegemony of Jiangzuo in the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River began again. A battle with an army size of over 30 begins!
Late June.
Just when Zhao State continued to attack fiercely, Qi State was almost out of breath, turned its head, and fell down.
The Qin State, the original hegemon of the world, had to temporarily extinguish its edge due to the appearance of the coalition forces. It stopped its activities and retreated to the pass to hide, and slowly recovered from its injuries.
Now, after several years of cultivation, Qin has somewhat healed the pain caused by the war.
After several years of adjustments, Qin's development was back on track, and military rations were restocked. Batch after batch of ordnance was forged in Qin's arsenal. One man after another became a qualified soldier under training.
Everything was ready, and the Qin State saw that the situation in the Kanto countries had turned into a complete mess, and Yu Guo, who was originally very active in the world, was the leader of the two alliances.
It seems that they have completely withdrawn from this stage called Tianxia, completely giving up the performance to Wei State. These countries gradually faded out of people's sight, showing that they no longer intervene in the affairs of the Central Plains.
This made Qin Guo tempted, but for the sake of caution, although he wanted to disturb the six countries, he did not pick the weakest South Korea in front of him. Because he was related by marriage to Yu Guo, he was afraid of touching him, so he brought out the behemoth Yu Guo behind Han Han.
Even the Wei State next to South Korea did not dare to move, and instead chose the Zhao State, which was thousands of miles away from South Korea.
The terrifying war machine of the Qin State started to rotate, and everything that had nothing to do with the war stopped, and everything was only in the service of the war.
Just like that, not long after.
