In mid-December, the king of Chu and his entourage arrived in Luoyang, and Han Tianzi named the king of Chu as the king of Chu in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, hereditary replacement, and 20,000 households. Feng Chu surrendered Jingyang and Xiang Cheng as third-class marquises, and the rest of the Chu State civil and military officials were hired. After all, if you want to maintain the stability of Chudi, you have to rely on these locally-born officials. South Korea can't just remove them all at once.

Because Bai Qi had the merit of destroying the country, Bai Qi was named Wu Anjun. Wei Yun captured Yuzhang County and was named a third-class marquis. Han Teng and Le Cheng made meritorious contributions to the attack on Danyang and Lujiang County, and were promoted to first-class marquis and third-class marquis respectively. Wang Jian led his army to attack Songyang, divided the state of Chu into two, and made great contributions, and was also promoted to a first-class marquis. The rest of the meritorious ministers have their own rewards!

In late December, Han Tianzi ordered to set up Yangzhou on the land of the former Chu State, under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong County, Huiji County, Yuzhang County, Danyang County, Lujiang County five counties, and at the same time ordered a pardon for three years of taxes in Yangzhou, amnesty to the world, and ordered local officials to treat the local wealthy families well. This calmed Chu Di's restless heart.

Huang Xie, the former left disciple of the Chu State, appointed him as the assassin of Yangzhou. As for the Chu State Order Yin Miliang, Doctor Sanlu and others who committed suicide on the day the Han army entered the city, Han Tianzi ordered a thick burial, which also made the people of Chu see the benevolence of South Korea.

In just three months, the state of Chu was destroyed by Korea, and more importantly, the Korean casualties were only 100,000, which shocked the world! Especially Zhao Guo, who was about to order the conscription of the army, didn't know whether to be glad that he didn't send troops, or to regret that he was late!

However, whether regret or rejoicing, Qin, Zhao, Yan, and Qi had to re-examine their relations with South Korea. Qin Guohao said that South Korea married the princess to the king of Qin. The transfer of Wusui, an important iron-producing land, to Qin has already shown that South Korea will not take action against Qin, and the agreement between the two countries to secretly plot against Zhao is even more secret. What really needs to be worried is the three kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, and Qi. Which one will South Korea choose to target? No one is clear!

Just when all countries in the world speculated that South Korea would recuperate for a few more years, and then send troops to various countries again, South Korea unexpectedly sent troops again, and the target was Qi country!

It was originally in the plan in South Korea. Destroying the state of Chu would require more than 200,000 casualties. But now, South Korea has taken a largely intact state of Chu with less than half of the casualties, which has boosted South Korea's confidence.

As Korea grows larger, it takes more time to recruit soldiers, and the cost of all kinds increases rapidly. Before the attack on the Chu State, there were many people who supported the destruction of the Qi State, but now the recruited soldiers have used less than half of their strength, and many of the soldiers have not made meritorious contributions, so it has become a logical thing to attack the Qi State.

And. At this time, there is one of the biggest advantages of attacking Qi State, that is, South Korea is carrying out the power of Chu, and the morale is booming, even if Yan and Zhao want to rescue Qi State, they must carefully weigh the price.

On the first day of the first month of the first month of 258 B.C., Korea took Li Mu as the main general and Meng Fu as the deputy general, leading 300,000 troops. The soldiers were divided into two ways and attacked the Qi State. Li Mu led 150,000 troops. Starting from Lu County, all the way was like a bamboo, even under Lixia, Zhangqiu, Yuling, until the soldiers were in Changguo and Gaowan City, they encountered decent resistance and stopped. But at this time, the Han army was only more than 100 miles away from Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

On the other hand, the Korean army was commanded by Meng Wei and broke through the defense line of the Great Wall of Qi from Langya, and in just half a month, the vast land east of Xixian County and west of Jiaolu. It was captured by South Korea, and the drama county is only a hundred miles away from Linzi. More importantly, with the Han army's control of Weishui and Jiaoshui, Jiaodong County of Qi completely lost contact with Linzi, and the army that Qi could mobilize was only the soldiers of the city within a hundred miles of Linzi, even if they wanted to ask for help from other countries, it became a luxury.

South Korea repeated its old tricks and sent an envoy to Linzi. Or, the state of Qi surrenders, and the king of Qi can be crowned the king of Qi according to the practice of the king of Chu, and eat 20,000 households; Or, the state of Qi will resist stubbornly, Linzi will cease to exist as a city, and the king of Qi can choose to live and die with Linzi.

In the original history, the state of Qi was the only country that was destroyed without resistance. In the face of Korea, which was more powerful than the historical Qin State, the Qi State once again chose cowardice, and it seemed that the tenacity and unyielding nature of the Qi State had been exhausted when Tiandan returned to Qi. Tian Dan was ill, Mink Bo went into hiding, there was less main battle faction in the court, and the frightened King of Qi listened to the words of the right prime minister Hou Sheng, obediently opened the city gate of Linzi, followed the example of the King of Chu, and traveled in cloth, and Korea can be said to have destroyed the Qi State without blood.

When Tian Dan learned that the King of Qi ordered the door to open the door to welcome the Han army into the city, he was so angry that he died suddenly. Before he died, Tian Dan kept muttering, "Hou Sheng is wrong!" After the victory is mistaken"! At this time, King Qi was leading Hou Sheng and his cadres to welcome the Han army into the city with trepidation.

South Korea really pays attention to faith and righteousness, and takes Linzi, which has 20,000 households, as the king of Qi, which is wrong, it should be the fief of Qi Jun. If the state of Chu still resisted and had to surrender in an extremely desperate situation, then the state of Qi did not put up any decent resistance at all.

Linzi City is one of the few fortified cities in the Central Plains, and if it hadn't been defeated too quickly, decades ago, Yan Guo would have had no chance to defeat it. Whether it is food, grass or equipment, it is extremely sufficient. Li Mu sent people to count the grain, grass and various military supplies in the treasury, and came to the final conclusion that if the Qi State was determined to defend it, it would take him at least a year before the Korean army could attack Linzi, or on the premise of paying an extremely heavy price for casualties.

Although he looked down on the cowardice of the Qi people, Li Mu had to admit that he wished that his enemies were like this. There is too much blood in this world, the Xiongnu in the north, the Yueshi in the west, and the Hu people in the east are all looking at the Central Plains with fierce eyes.

From the dispatch of troops to the surrender of King Qi and the fall of the Kingdom of Qi, it took only one month. The people of Qi had just survived a winter and were about to come out to farm, when they suddenly found that the flag at the head of the city had changed! Countless people were dumbfounded, and some were difficult to accept, but when they received the notice of tax reduction for three years, they left Qi Guo behind.

The rise and fall of the country has nothing to do with our people! We only know that when the new law is implemented next year, our days will be better and more hopeful than before, and that will be enough! This is the true thoughts of countless people in Qi country.

If the fall of the Chu State only shocked Yan and Zhao, then the fall of the Qi State made Yan and Zhao frightened. There are only four kingdoms left in the world: Han, Qin, Yan, and Zhao, and Qin is still very close to South Korea, which makes Yan and Zhao how to live!

Last time, King Zhao did not follow Pingyang Jun's advice - immediately sent troops to rescue Chu State, which indirectly helped South Korea, which made Zhao Wang feel that Pingyang Jun's advice should be treated extremely carefully. Therefore, after King Zhao learned the news of the fall of the Qi State, he immediately went to Pingyang Jun and hoped that he would give advice.

The advice given by Pingyang Jun is very simple, that is, to keep quiet and wait for the opportunity. King Zhao thought so. It's just that King Zhao doesn't know that in Pingyang Jun's opinion, with the fall of Chu and Qi, Zhao basically has no chance! Unless there is something big wrong in South Korea itself, such as falling into civil strife, or arrogantly belittled other countries. But the probability of this happening is extremely low.

On the Yan side, after the fall of the old enemy Qi State, the Yan State sent envoys to Luoyang to congratulate South Korea, and wave after wave of envoys asked to see the Queen of Korea and send heavy gifts. It seems that he wants to use this way to prove that Yan and Korea are in-laws, and after a few decades, the son An Ke, who inherited the throne of the Son of Heaven, retains half of the blood of the Yan royal family!

Korea needed to recuperate, Yan and Zhao were afraid of Korea's huge strength, and Qin was busy rectifying the military and government, so it was very tacit that none of the countries provoked a war.

In June 258 B.C., Qin, Yan and Zhao sent envoys into Luoyang to pay homage to Han Tianzi, and were willing to follow the official regulations of Qi Huan to serve Han Tianzi as the overlord of the world, and from then on ceased to stop the war. Han Tianzi Xu Zhi.

In March 257 B.C., the prime minister of Qin died of illness, and in May, the king of Qin made Lü Buwei the prime minister and named the Marquis of Wenxin.

In 256 B.C., there was a great drought in Zhao State, and Zhao State asked Qin State and Yan State for grain, but the two countries did not obey, but took the land of Song Zi and a city, and asked Korea for 200,000 stone of grain and grass, and Korea allowed it.

In 255 B.C., Yang Quanjun of Qin State suffered a sudden stroke due to his addiction to alcohol, and Prime Minister Lü Buwei was even more dependent.

In November 254 BC, Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao and the king of Pingyuan, passed away, and in December, the king of Zhao took Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, as the prime minister.

In July 253 BC, Zhao Bao died of illness, and the post of prime minister became vacant again, and the king of Zhao changed the title of Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, to the king of Yangcheng, and intended to take Wei Wuji as the prime minister, which caused an uproar.

Han Tianzi sent an envoy to interrogate King Zhao, saying that Wei Wuji's talent was insufficient and he could not be the prime minister of Zhao. If Wuji is Zhao Xiang, Han Bi will kill Zhao. This directly made Zhao Guo's court a mess.

Xinping Junlian quite thought that South Korea's interference in Zhao's internal affairs was unreasonable. Wei Wuji has been named the king of Yangcheng, and the people of the whole country are also willing to Wei Wuji to succeed him as Zhao Xiang, if because of South Korea's interference, he will be replaced as the prime minister, then the prestige of King Zhao will be gone, and the people's morale and morale will decline even more.

Lieutenant Xu Li believes that South Korea is powerful, and Zhao cannot be offended. It is better to replace the prime minister with someone else, and Yangcheng Jun can be the secretary and assist King Zhao. The rest of the ministers are inconsistent.

Zhao Wang is seeking a plan from Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo said to him, the world has been suffering for a long time, Zhao is the backbone of Yan and Qin, and if Zhao is cowardly, then Yan and Qin will inevitably succumb to the obscenity of Korea. It is better to pretend to agree to South Korea's conditions first, secretly contact Qin and Yan, as well as the wealthy clans of Qi and Chu, to jointly attack South Korea, as long as there is a slight victory, the situation in the world will inevitably change greatly. King Zhao was overjoyed and thought it was feasible, so he followed it.

In August, the king of Zhao ordered Wei Wuji to stay at home, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to Jicheng and Jinyang to discuss the attack on Han, and countless merchants carried heavy money and equipment to Qingzhou and Yangzhou to prevent the remnants who refused to return to Korea to cause rebellion.

In September, King Zhao received a report, Yan and Qin agreed to send troops, and a big war was about to break out! (To be continued......)
