Chapter 311: The Situation in the World

The civil war in the Song Dynasty was nothing more than a storm in a teacup for the great powers of the world at this time. When the civil war began, most countries ignored it, except for a few countries.

Thinking about these big countries, how much impact can a small country like Song have if it changes hands in civil strife? After all, it's too light a weight, and it doesn't matter how serious the situation is!

However, no one expected that as soon as the Song civil war ended, it would soon have a huge impact on the situation in the world, and then change the relationship between the nations!

When the Song Civil War was going on, the whole world was actually in a melee. At that time, it was the Hezhong Alliance, against the surrounding Qin, Chu, and Qi powers. In this confrontation, the Qi State tried to get the Zhongshan State out of the alliance by pulling and fighting, but it was never achieved. In the south, the main forces of Chu and the combined forces of the Three Jin Dynasty confronted each other along the border between Han and Wei and Chu.

As for the Qin State, when they saw the war between the Hezong Alliance and Qi and Chu, they began to stand still and peep on the side. Because of the existence of the Qin State, the war between the Chu State and the Three Jin Coalition Forces has always been in a state of small fights, and no one dares to really make a big move.

However, as soon as the Song civil war ended, Dai Yan began to integrate the domestic forces of the entire Song State, and the situation of the whole world changed with the unification of the Song State!

Half a month after the end of the Song civil war, the state of Chu and the state of Wei reached a separate armistice.

As soon as they heard the news, the countries involved in the cooperation, especially South Korea and Zhao, immediately felt betrayed! In the two countries, now is the time for everyone to huddle together to keep warm and fight against the Chu State, and the Wei State actually acted without authorization and privately negotiated peace with the Chu State!

The two countries immediately sent envoys to the Wei capital of Daliang to ask Wei to reach an agreement on Wei Chu in private and give a reasonable explanation! For such a thing, the court of Wei was also very embarrassed, but this kind of thing was ordered by the King of Wei himself, and others could not object to it at all!

Speaking of which, Wei was willing to negotiate peace with Chu alone, which was also a last resort. As an old power, Wei has never been able to let go of the face of a strong country, so when the five countries were concluded, the king of Wei rushed to be the chief of the alliance. As a result, because it occupies this title, both the Chu State and the Qi State have targeted the Wei State when attacking the Hezong Alliance!

At this time, Wei also had to endure the threat of Qin to Wei. Facing the pressure of the three great powers at the same time, Wei finally recognized itself: it is no longer the superpower that suppressed the world at the beginning!

Regarding the situation of being attacked on three sides, even if Wei had allies, he did not dare to be careless at all. In this day and age, today you can be allies, and tomorrow, you will be enemies! After all, a few years ago, Wei still wanted to unite Qin and Qi to take advantage of Zhao's national mourning to make trouble!

In fact, Wei also had the intention of forming alliances with the surrounding powers to reduce the pressure on itself.

After the end of the Song Civil War, the Zhao clan could clearly feel that their own strength alone was no longer enough to fight against Taoqiu. As a result, the Xiangyi industrial area they originally occupied is very likely to face the risk of being lost!

Faced with this unfavorable situation, the Zhao clan immediately thought of finding allies. At this time, the reason why they can help them relieve their pressure is none other than Wei State. As long as the Chu State can reach a truce with the Wei State, then the Zhao clan soldiers who confronted the Sanjin coalition army on the border of Wei and Chu can be released and join the battlefield with the Song State!

In addition, the State of Chu can even unite with the State of Wei and join the encirclement and attack on Taoqiu!

Wei originally had a strong desire to seek peace, and now that Chu first proposed peace, then Wei was naturally willing to accept it! As for the possibility that Han and Zhao would lose trust in Wei, and then become dissatisfied, or even become enemies, Wei didn't care! In the eyes of the King of Wei, after having the State of Chu as a backer, will the State of Wei still be afraid of these two countries?

The two countries ceased war as quickly as possible and signed an alliance, which stunned a large group of surrounding onlookers. Fortunately, Wei was quite authentic, and did not do things too desperately, attacking the armies of Han and Zhao, but sending the armies of the two countries out of the country.

When Chu formed an alliance with Wei, it began to officially declare war on the Song state, which was under Taoqiu's control. And this time, in addition to the soldiers of the Zhao clan who originally stayed near Suishui and in the Xiangyi Industrial Zone, the Chu State sent another 100,000 troops to join the war with the Song State!

Most of these armies were still the Zhao clan's armies, and almost all of them were the armies that had confronted the Sanjin coalition army before.

The army of more than 200,000 is almost the limit of the Chu State's ability to mobilize the army in the Huaishui Valley. After all, the strength of the Huaishui Division of the Chu State has been greatly reduced, and even if the Chu State has more troops, it will not be able to send them to the battlefield along the Suishui because it cannot supply enough food.

In addition, Wei, an ally of Chu, sent a large army to support Chu in the name of purging traitors for Song Junzixi and purging the traitors for Song. The Song Kingdom, which was controlled by Dai Yanxin, suddenly had two more powerful enemies!

The states of Chu and Wei declared war on a small state like Song at the same time, which greatly shook the world. For small countries like Weiguo, Lu, and Zou, it is quite a bit sad that the rabbit is dead, and in their minds, a weak country like Song is already very difficult even for the previous strong country. Now that we have to face two major powers at the same time, the fate of the Song Kingdom is already predictable!

However, in the face of the declaration of war and attack by the two great powers, Dai Yan, who initially took charge of national politics and implemented the transformation of the national system in the Song State, was not afraid at all! After having the left court and the right court, he has attracted the most powerful political forces in the Song Kingdom to stand on his side, and in the face of foreign enemies, he is confident that he will keep them out of the country!

Therefore, he immediately fought back against the declaration of war between Chu and Wei in a confrontational posture! He even sent a messenger to the Chu army camp on the west bank of Suishui to warn the Chu army that it must be unconditionally withdrawn from the territory of the Song State!

As for the alliance between Chu and Wei and the turn of the target to Song, Dai Yan's allies, Zhao immediately reacted. Under the leadership of Zhao Yong, Zhao sent a large number of troops and began to move south to prepare for an attack on Wei! In this way, Wei did not dare to send troops to attack Song, so he could only send a large army to the north of Wei to resist the attack of Zhao!

And after seeing the complete collapse of the Alliance, the happiest one is the Qin State. After all, when Wei initiated the Five Kingdoms and attracted all countries to form a joint column, it was aimed at Qin. Now that the alliance is broken, the Qin people can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

For the Song State, which inadvertently made Hezong fall apart, the Qin State also began to have a good feeling. He is very interested in Ziyan, who rose rapidly from the position of a feudal monarch and then controlled the Song State, and a country like the Qin State that focused on strength.

The King of Qin even asked Zhang Yi about Dai Yan's situation in front of the important ministers of the Qin State above the court. From Zhang Yi's mouth, King Qin knew that this young virtuous son was not only a master of the school, good at governing cities, but also quite accomplished in the way of vertical and horizontal. He immediately asked Zhang Yidao: "Xiangguo thinks that my Qin State can form an alliance with the Song State?" ”

Hearing King Qin's question, Zhang Yi replied: "The Song State and the Qin State do not border each other, and there has never been a conflict between the two sides; Everyone is facing the two great enemies of Chu and Wei at the same time, and it can be said that they are natural allies! However, I'm afraid that we have the heart of an alliance, and the Song Kingdom has no intention of forming an alliance! ”

"Why did Sangkook say that?" King Qin was a little curious.

Zhang Yi replied: "Although the current Song State has fallen into the hands of Ziyan, it is a small country after all, and it is deeply influenced by the surrounding powers, especially the Qi State. If we rashly form an alliance with the Song State, I am afraid that the Song State will be immediately besieged by the three major powers of Wei, Chu, and Qi, and at that time, the Song State will be in danger of extinction! As a wise person, Xiang Ziyan would never agree to form an alliance with my Qin State and sign an alliance! However, although it is impossible for us to sign an alliance with the Song State, it does not mean that we cannot become an ally of the Song State! ”

At this moment, even Yingji, who was known as the think tank of the Qin State, was a little curious about the method of forming an alliance without signing the alliance letter, and he asked Zhang Yi: "What does Xiangguo plan to do?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple," Zhang Yi said, "We just need to send troops to Hangu Pass and Wu Pass respectively, send troops to threaten Wei and Chu, and relieve the pressure on Song, and Song will naturally recognize us as their allies!" Ziyan is a smart man, and once we take action, he will be able to understand! ”

Zhang Yi's proposal to the king of Qin was quickly approved by the Qin state. Today's Qin State, the troops sent a letter to Guguan, and the pressure on the other country is too strong, and it is urgent to win an ally outside the pass! And Zhang Yi, who said that he moved the King of Qin to send troops, also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart at the same time, his move this time can be regarded as paying off the favor he owed in Taoqiu!

After the Qin State sent troops to Chu and Wei respectively, the situation in the whole world changed drastically. The alliance formed by the Chu and Wei states began to face attack pressure from the three sides of the Zhao state, the Qin state and the Song state respectively!

The state of Chu deserves to be the superpower of the world, and after the Qin State sent troops to the martial arts, Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, was considered to have completely inspired the fighting spirit in his heart! He mobilized a large army and began to confront the Qin state in the east. Due to the strength of both sides, everyone did not dare to act rashly, and Qin Chu's war in the east was only a small-scale war.

As for the Wei State, which was suppressed by the Qin State and the Zhao State, it was completely immobile. King Wei was also helpless about such a situation. He couldn't help but sigh unlucky, originally, he wanted to jump out of the pit besieged by the three enemies of Qin, Chu and Qi, but now although the powerful Chu State has changed from an enemy to a friend, there are two more enemies such as Zhao State and Song State, if the remaining Qi State continues to attack it, then the situation of Wei State will be even more unbearable!

After the Qin State sent troops, the happiest person was Dai Yan in Suiyang. With Zhao and Qin holding back some of the forces of Wei and even Chu, then he only needs to deal with the 200,000 Chu troops who are now near Suishui alone!
