Chapter 90: Fifteen Cities Sealed

However, it is said that Zhao Jia attacked Qin and plundered fifteen cities in the north.

The Qin State finally reacted and hurriedly recruited troops to garrison the west bank of Shengshui, which prevented Zhao Jia from continuing to encroach on the territory of the Qin State.

Zhao took the fifteen cities of Qin as his own, leaving the rest of the countries to have their own thoughts.

At this time, the army was located under the Hangu Pass, and the vast fertile land of the Qin State east of the Hangu Pass was all exposed to the troops of various countries.

With Zhao Guo, the first person who dared to eat crabs, Chu State was not willing to be lonely, so he ordered the general Xiang Yan to enter Yunmengze in the west, pull out six cities and then collect troops.

The king of Han sent troops to occupy Yangcheng and take the army, and recaptured the two lands that were lost in the 51st year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and by the way, he also paid tribute to the 40,000 Han troops who died there.

Wei Wuji was naturally not to be outdone, and met with Chu and Han to divide the Qin land east of the turbulent water, a total of 15 cities, and the Qin State once again lost half of Nanyang County.

Occupying this important land, when Wei faced the attack of Qin in the future, it not only had turbulent water as a natural hazard, but also relied on the Great Wall for defense.

In order to resist the invasion of Qin, the Chu State built the Great Wall in the middle of Nanyang County for more than 100 miles.

It's a pity that the Great Wall failed to stop the Qin army, and Nanyang County was still obtained by the Qin State after all.

Obtaining the Qin State of Nanyang County was like a punch into the heart of Chu, Wei, and Han, making the Three Kingdoms panic all day long.

Fortunately, the state of Chu was okay, after losing a large area of the country, it could still rely on Huaishui to defend the state of Qin.

Wei and Han had no danger to defend, so they could only build the Great Wall at the junction with Qin, and finally the Great Wall built by the two countries was connected together, and the Great Wall built by Chu State in that year framed a diagonal 'several' character on the map.

Today, the Three Kingdoms divided most of Nanyang County, not only crushing the fist of the Qin State that blasted into their hearts, but also regaining all the Great Wall that had been built.

With this land, the Three Kingdoms will not be so passive when they face the Qin State in the future.

The reason why the three countries jointly divided the land was because they were worried about the retaliation of the Qin State after the war, and the three countries divided a piece of land, so that they could reach an offensive and defensive alliance in the future, and the Qin State might not dare to easily send troops to regain the lost land.

In this war, the territories of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han all expanded.

Even the State of Qi, which did not border the State of Qin, also obtained the two cities ceded by the State of Zhao, and obtained tangible benefits.

Only the Yan State not only exchanged the important land of the Gongwei capital to the Zhao State, but also was coerced to attack Qin together, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, but did not get much benefit at all.

Therefore, Yan Guo was the first to complain, unwilling to continue to confront the Qin army in front of Hangu Pass, and intended to withdraw his troops.

Qi followed closely behind, and was unwilling to contribute on its own, but watched the rest of the countries grab the benefits and had the intention of withdrawing troops.

In addition, the labor expeditions of various countries consumed too much grain and grass, and it was difficult to break through the Hangu Pass of the Qin State, so they had to retreat one after another.

This vigorous joint expedition ended with the killing of more than 60,000 Qin troops and the occupation of hundreds of miles of Qin's territory by various countries.

Zhao State, Handan, the palace hall.

Since Lian Po broke the Yan army, Zhao Guo can be described as a happy event.

Especially this time, Zhao Jia first forced Yan to exchange the capital barrier to Zhao State, and then the six countries joined forces to break the Qin army.

The most important thing is that Zhao Jia took advantage of the fact that Qin was defending the army with all his strength, and raided the northern land of Qin with 20,000 cavalry, expanding the land for hundreds of miles.

Since the defeat of Changping, when Zhao faced Qin, he had no courage to resist at all, and could only grovel in the hope of befriending Qin.

This kind of posture is also a helpless move of a weak country, in fact, all Zhao people have anger and hatred hidden in their hearts.

Zhao Jia's move of seizing hundreds of miles of Qin land can undoubtedly greatly boost the hearts of Zhao people.

The continuous good news actually made Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao, improve his health and began to preside over the government again.

"Yan, you gave birth to a good son."

"Since Jia'er began to participate in the government, my Zhao State first broke 600,000 to attack the Yan army and revitalize the prestige of my Zhao State."

"Not long ago, Jia'er used his wits to persuade Qin to abandon Zhao and attack Wei, which led to the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin."

"The move of exchanging cities with Yan Guo is to insert a sharp knife into the heart of Yan State, so that the capital of Yan State will be exposed to the soldiers of my Zhao State from now on, how dare King Yan go against my Zhao State again!"

"Now that Jia'er has seized hundreds of miles of Qin, I am strong and powerful, and I am very relieved!"

As King Zhao spoke, he couldn't help laughing, and his joy was beyond words.

The more Zhao Yan listened, the more gloomy his face became.

It was only at this time that Zhao Yan suddenly woke up, and Zhao Jia played an extremely important role in all the major events that were enough to change the fate of Zhao over the years.

Even King Zhao admired Zhao Jia so much and praised him constantly, not to mention the people of Zhao State.

"As a prince, how can I tolerate being robbed of the limelight by others!"

Zhao Yan's eyes were a little gloomy.

Although Zhao Jia is his own son, over the years, Zhao Yan has not treated Zhao Jia well, and even suppressed him everywhere.

If Zhao Yan is a hundred years later, he naturally hopes that Zhao Jia will be as good as possible, so that he can lead Zhao Guo to become strong.

But now, Zhao Yan is still only the crown prince.

If Zhao Jia is too good and has the support of King Zhao, courtiers and the people of Zhao, it is difficult to predict who will inherit the throne in the future.

Zhao Yan has waited for so many years, how could he watch his own throne being threatened by others?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan suddenly stepped forward and said: "This time the elite troops of the six countries have not been able to deal a heavy blow to the Qin State, and now that the army has withdrawn, it will not be long before the Qin State will be able to recover its national strength." ”

"At this time, Jia'er occupies hundreds of miles of Qin land, which is certainly exciting for the people, but if the Qin State raises troops to seize the land in the future, and even angers the Zhao State, what should it do?"

"Does my father think that with the national strength of my Zhao State, I can block the powerful Qin State?"

Zhao Yan's voice fell, and Chaozhong was suddenly silent.

Zhao Jia's move of seizing hundreds of miles of Qin land, although it is indeed exciting, but the strength of the Qin State has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Zhao people are afraid of the Qin State as much as they hate it.

Looking at the situation today, no country can withstand the boundless anger from the Qin State.

"Could it be that you want the widow to take the Qin land and return it to the Qin State!"

was swept away by Zhao Yan, and King Zhao was obviously a little unhappy.

The strength of the Qin State, the King of Zhao did not know, but as Zhao Jia said before the war, the Zhao State retreated today, will the Qin State no longer covet the territory of the Zhao State?

Apparently impossible!

If Zhao wants to not be afraid of Qin, he can only strengthen himself while constantly weakening Qin, if he blindly retreats weakly, it will only make Qinguo stronger and stronger.

Zhao Yan felt the dissatisfaction in Zhao Dan's heart, and hurriedly said, "Erchen didn't mean this. ”

Zhao Jia's move to seize hundreds of miles of Qin land is inspiring, if the land he occupies is returned to the Qin State at this time, he will definitely be scolded by the Zhao people, even if Zhao Yan is the crown prince, he will not dare to do such a thing that defies the world's condemnation.

"Then what do you say?"

Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "Father might as well give all the fifteen Qin State cities he has captured to Jia'er as a fief. ”

"If the Qin State asks for those cities in the future, in order to avoid angering the Qin State, we can use the excuse that the fief belongs to Jia'er, and it is inconvenient to return it."

"If the Qin State sends troops to seize the land, and Jia'er can hold those cities, the Qin land will naturally still belong to my Zhao State."

"If Jia'er can't hold those Qin lands, we can also clear up the relationship, so as not to be angered by the Qin State."

Fiefdoms, many times representing private fiefdoms.

Although Zhao Yan did not explain some of his words, it was just that King Zhao and the ministers of the court and the central government all had insight into Zhao Yan's plans.

Zhao Yan did this because he was completely prepared to push Zhao Jia out as a pawn.

If the Qin State insists on sending troops to rob it, Zhao Guo can shirk his responsibility and say that Zhao Jia sent troops privately in order to obtain his own fiefdom.

Although this is a bit unauthentic, it can also give Zhao Guo some room for maneuver when facing Qin State in the future.
