Chapter 654: Seven Kingdoms Change

Five years have passed.

In the past five years, Daqin has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In a stable environment, the economy recovered quickly.

The wartime desolate wasteland was reclaimed into farmland and replanted with grain.

In the past few years, the counties have been in good weather, water conservancy has been built, and the number of sesame seeds has been flowering, catching up with Zhao Kang's heyday.

Commerce, handicrafts, also have been rapid development, the south tea, silk, a steady stream of buying from the north, the north ore, horses, etc., also appeared in large numbers in the south market.

With the economic recovery of the counties, the displaced people who fled from the external war, the newborn babies, and the people who hid in the mountains for refuge went out of the mountains, and the population of Daqin surged.

The economy improved, the population surged, and the armies took advantage of the situation to expand.

Lin Jianlu, Ruan Xinghe and other generals trained a large number of elite soldiers.

Great Qin is rich and strong, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

In addition to dealing with internal affairs, Ji Xuanling and the important ministers of the imperial court closely paid close attention to the changes in the external situation.

Whether it is Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao Wei, or the Eastern Great Qianguo, the changes in the situation are slightly different from what Ji Xuanling and others expected, but there is not much difference.

Qi Chu's battle in Yuedi lasted more than a year.

Qi lost 130,000 elite soldiers, two generals who commanded the battle were killed, and a large amount of military spending led to a shortage of food in Qi, soaring prices, economic depression, and people's livelihood.

The losses of the state of Chu were also not small, the most elite infantry was annihilated by the Qi army, the long war, a large number of casualties, the people complained, and the incident of the assassination of the king of Chu by the captain occurred in the imperial court, and the king of Chu had to withdraw from the battlefield.

In the end, the state of Chu occupied the south of Yuedi, and the state of Qi occupied the north, and the two countries divided the old land of Yue.

When the dust of the Vietnam War settled, the two states of Qi and Chu began to follow the example of the Qin state, focusing on internal affairs and vigorously restoring the depressed economy.

The second year of the League.

King Yan, who was allied with Qin, died unexpectedly ahead of schedule.

Prince Yan successfully inherited the throne, and in order to consolidate and maintain the alliance between the two countries, Prince Yan married his sister Princess Pingyang to Daqin and promised to marry Ji Xuanling.

In order to guard against the invasion of the Qi State, Ji Xuanling sent Shen Tuxiu to garrison the Long Wu Army at Hangu Pass to express Great Qin's concern for the Yan State.

He specially informed Shen Tuxiu that if the Qi army went north to attack Yan and the Zhao army invaded the territory in the east, he would immediately send troops out of the pass to attack Zhao and Qi.

Perhaps because of the eastward advance of the Qin army, Zhao Qiyan and the Three Kingdoms were at peace for a year.

In the early spring of the third year, King Wei died.

Zhang Yi went to mourn on behalf of Daqin, and soon, King Zhao took advantage of the death of King Wei and the new king succeeded to the throne, and the internal instability of Wei led Zhao Guo Hu to attack Wei in the south.

In the past few years, Wei has been hit hard by the elite troops of Qi and Qin, and for several years has insisted on restoring the internal economy and expanding the army to protect the border, but the strength of Zhao and Wei is still very different.

The Zhao army galloped south, and in the rest of the month, it crisscrossed the northern part of Wei and occupied many cities in Wei.

After that, the Wei generals were terrified, and the defenders from all walks of life fled.

The four kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, Han and Wei formed an alliance, and the king of Zhao suddenly tore up the alliance and led the army to invade the territory, which shocked the vassal states.

As a last resort, the king of Wei asked Han and Chu for help.

Han and Chu temporarily formed a coalition of 50,000 troops to resist in the north, initially containing the edge of the Zhao army and blocking the Zhao army in the north of Wei.

The two armies were in a stalemate for several months, and King Zhao sent generals to raid the grain routes of Han Chu's army.

The two armies of Han and Chu were defeated, and Queen Cang retreated for hundreds of miles.

The king of Zhao relied on the great victory of the Zhao army, and the momentum of the whole army was like a rainbow, and he advanced violently all the way, and the army approached the king of Wei.

The king of Wei temporarily assembled the elite of Wei to meet the Zhao army in Anyi City, trying to plan to block the Zhao army's edge with the city's high walls and rich food reserves.

The battle of Anyi City lasted several months, from the stalemate in early summer to the end of autumn, and finally King Zhao bribed the defenders of the city and entered the city without bloodshed.

Under the protection of the palace force, the king of Wei fled with his family and family, and had to build a capital in Shaoliang, gather the remnants of the army, and defend the city.

On the one hand, he led the army to delay King Zhao, and on the other hand, he asked Han Chu Qiyan for help.

It's a pity that the reinforcements of Chu and Han were hit hard, and there were no extra elite soldiers to fight, King Zhao was fierce, and the Zhao army was good at fighting, so he captured Shaoliang City in advance and occupied Wei Jing.

The king of Wei took hundreds of officials and the royal family and was forced to live in exile to Korea.

King Zhao became more and more courageous, and the Zhao army followed, and a large number of Hu cavalry appeared on the Korean border.

The South Korean government and opposition were shocked.

The Wei State was destroyed, and the Korean dynasty was in danger.

The king of Han was forced to join forces with the king of Wei to ask the king of Chu for help.

The king of Chu received a distress letter, but his heart was more than enough, because the royal rebellion had just occurred in the country, and 30,000 elites were defeated, and the domestic elites were scarce, and there were no surplus elites to help Korea.

The request for help was refused, and the king of Han scolded the king of Chu for shrinking his head and turtle.

He sent an envoy to Linzi to ask for help from the Qi State, but the Qi State had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and the King of Qi planned to attack the expansion of the Zhao State, but he did not have enough troops, and in the past few years, Chu Wei and Zhao Han isolated the Qi State, and the King of Qi held a grudge.

Happy to be a wall-to-wall watcher.

is even more reluctant to provoke Zhao Guo, who is in the prime of his army.

For a time, the king of Wei and the king of Han called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective.

When King Han asked for help, King Zhao waved his army into Korea, and Korea was in danger of destroying the country.

At the end of the road, the kings of Han and Wei both sent envoys, carrying gold, silver and jewelry, to Luoyi for help, hoping that Ji Xuanling would send troops to stop the pace of King Zhao's invasion.

After a few years of recuperation, the armies of Great Qin have sharpened their knives early.

Ji Xuanling warmly received the envoys of Han and Wei, and smiled at the gold, silver and jewelry they sent, and the princesses of the two royal families.

On the one hand, he sent messengers to win over Yan State, on the other hand, he sent Ruan Xinghe, Zhao Poyu to lead the Yun cavalry army north along Hexi County, and sent Lin Jianlu and Gai Wenguang to take the Xiaowu army out of Guguan and go to the front line in Korea.

After Qin Yan communicated, Yan took advantage of the emptiness of Zhao State and sent elite troops to attack Zhao State, and Ruan Xinghe, Zhao Poyu fought all the way into the hinterland of Zhao State.

When King Zhao learned the news, he scolded Ji Xuanling for being despicable and shameless, and hurriedly led the army to withdraw from Korea.

As a result, they encountered Lin Jianlu and Gai Wenguang's ambush, the Zhao army suffered heavy losses, and the road to the north was cut off, and the Wei army and the Han army seized the opportunity to attack the Zhao army, and the three armies combined to surround the king of Zhao in the border town of Wei.

At the end of winter, the elite of Zhao was sharply reduced, the grain and grass were exhausted, and the king of Zhao himself was trapped in the city, the grain and grass were exhausted, and he starved to death.

In the end, the battle ended with a complete victory for the Qin army.

In this battle, when Daqin got the two princesses of Han and Wei, Lin Jianlu and Ruan Xinghe, and led the army to evacuate, he secretly ordered the army to loot Zhao and Wei, and took away the captured materials, war horses, and valuable things on the border between the two countries, and by the way, moved a large number of people from Hedong.

After the restoration of the Wei king, the territory changed little, but unfortunately the former rest and recuperation were ruined, a large number of soldiers died in battle, and the people fled.

The three kingdoms of Zhao, Chu and Han also suffered losses, however, the king of Zhao was trapped and died in Wei, and the princes fought among themselves in order to seize the throne, and the Yan State went eastward, and even took the opportunity to occupy several counties in the east of Zhao.

The situation in the seven kingdoms of Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin changed dramatically.
