In October 253 BC, as Zhao wished, Qin sent troops, but unfortunately, Qin sent troops not to attack Korea, but to occupy Yunzhong County! At the same time, South Korea also took the initiative and sent 600,000 troops to attack Yan and Zhao. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:strawberry,.cmxsw]

When Korea sent troops, Zhao Kuozheng led 150,000 elite troops of Zhao State to attack Hejian County together with Yan State. Unnoticed, he was besieged by 300,000 Korean troops led by Li Mu in the river. The reason why it was not Lian Po but Zhao Kuo who was the general was that King Zhao thought that Lian Po was too conservative and opposed his use of troops against South Korea. In order to prevent Zhao from sending troops, Lian Po did not hesitate to use the former king as a threat, which made King Zhao very unhappy, and was finally sent by King Zhao to Yanmen County to guard the frontier.

The Yan-Zhao coalition army also had 300,000 people, no less than the Korean army, so at the beginning, with the support from the Yan State and the conquered Hejian City as a support, the two sides fought equally. But then, Bai Qi led an army of 200,000 to join the battle, completely changing the situation.

100,000 Han troops attacked Dai County, which shocked Dai County, the capital of Zhao State, three times a day; 100,000 Han troops attacked Wuyang and other places on the north bank of Yishui, threatening the retreat of the Yan army. There are also 100,000 troops under the command of Meng Fu, attacking Julu County of Zhao State to prevent Zhao Kuo from breaking through and entering Julu County.

Zhao Guo originally wanted to hit South Korea by surprise, but he fell for South Korea's tricks. Only then did Zhao Guojun realize that Qin Guo had probably told South Korea the news of his plot against South Korea a long time ago, but South Korea pretended not to know and lured him to send troops as scheduled. The army of 600,000 was like a heavy boulder, which overwhelmed Zhao Guo.

In Yanmen and Yunzhong, Zhao still has an army of 50,000, but with the invasion of 100,000 Qin troops, it is impossible to mobilize easily! Even if this army is transferred south to support Zhao Kuo, it is tantamount to fighting fires with salary and bringing about self-destruction. Seeking peace became the only choice for Zhao State.

Two months later, Zhao received a reply from South Korea that it was okay to sue for peace. But Zhao must cede Daijun and Julu County to Korea, and the people and soldiers of the two counties must be returned to Korea! In other words, the tens of thousands of troops under Zhao Kuo's command have nothing to do with Zhao State.

Zhao Guo was very hesitant about this. However, when Bai Qi led the army to force the modern county, and the vanguard was only dozens of miles away from the county, King Zhao looked at the 30,000 troops in the city and chose to give in.

February 252 BC. King Zhao hunted Yanmen, and in the same month, Korea captured Dai County and Yanmen County. In March, the Zhao army, which was besieged in the river and ran out of grain and grass, launched a desperate breakthrough, and the main general of the Zhao army, Zhao Kuo, was shot and killed, and 100,000 Zhao troops surrendered!

Compared with Zhao State, Yan State has no capital to resist. The 150,000 army is already more than 90% of the elite of the Yan State, and after being surrounded by the Korean army, the Korean army can completely drive straight into the city of Jicheng. With the remaining tens of thousands of old and weak. Yan Guo couldn't hold on to one at all. Yan Guo was even ready to die or flee to Liaodong County, but for some reason, South Korea let Yan Guo go.

In March, the Korean envoy arrived at Jicheng and gave Yan a choice - to sacrifice the two counties of Shanggu and Yuyang, and the west of Shanhaiguan belonged to Korea. In return, South Korea is willing to return 80,000 elites.

Yan Guo was ecstatic, as if he had escaped death, and hurriedly agreed. South Korea's ministers have written to Han Tianzi. I was puzzled by letting Yan and Zhao go. You must know that after besieging the main forces of Yan and Zhao in Hejian County, there are not many elites left in the two countries, and they can completely complete the battle. Destroy Yan and Zhao in one fell swoop! But Han Tianzi insisted on going his own way! Stick to your ideas.

Only a few people such as Zhang Ping, Fan Sui, and Wei Zhe knew that the overall situation of Korea's reunification of the world had been decided, and after reunification, the next step would be to use troops against the Xiongnu and Donghu. Instead of wasting a lot of vitality to speed up reunification, it is better to fight steadily and let Yan and Zhao replace themselves. On the front line against the Hu people, so that South Korea can digest the occupied land with peace of mind. Han Tianzi said that this world is far bigger than everyone imagined!

In June, the Yan State moved its capital to Liaoxi, and governed the three counties of Beiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong. After paying a huge sacrifice, Zhao Guo preserved the two counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong. The Qin State, although the size of the land was not obtained, but in this war, Lü Buwei used the power in his hands to eradicate many dissidents, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were Lü Buwei's family.

After losing the richest and most densely populated land under their rule, Yan and Zhao invariably began to vigorously develop the frontier, attracting Hu people from outside the country to settle down, and at the same time rewarding fertility. The degree of reward is more than ten times that of South Korea, and the population has almost become the main criterion for the evaluation of county magistrates.

South Korea turned a blind eye to Yan Zhao's incentive policy, and the implementation of the new law in the newly acquired four counties became South Korea's top priority.

In 251 BC, the Korean Prime Minister Zhang Ping died, and his son Zhang Liang inherited his title - Marquis Changxin, and according to the new Korean law, the title was downgraded to a second-class marquis. The imperial historian Fan Sui succeeded Zhang Ping as prime minister.

In 250 B.C., King Yan died, and the prince succeeded to the throne as king.

In 249 B.C., the pawn Chen Zhen asked for Zhishi, and Han Tianzi followed it, with Li Si as the successor.

In 248 B.C., Luoyang Ling was ill and could not be a director, so Han Tianzi appointed Han Fei as the new Luoyang Order, and gave him a five-color stick to correct lawlessness.

In 247 BC, Han Tianzi ordered the abolition of the four generals of the east, west, south and north, and set up a general, a hussar general, a chariot general, a Wei general, a former general, a rear general, a left general, and a right general. The general position is higher than that of the three dukes, and the hussar generals, the chariot generals, and the Wei generals are under the three dukes and above the nine kings. The front, rear, left and right generals are under Jiuqing. Civil and military officials perform their duties, civilian officials cannot lead troops, and military generals cannot govern, so it begins.

In the same year, Han Tianzi Bai Qi was the general, Li Mu was the hussar general, Meng Wei was the chariot general, Han Teng was the Wei general, Wang Jian was the former general, Xiang Yan was the rear general, Le Cheng was the left general, and Wei Yun was the right general.

The position of Lang Zhongling held by Meng Fu was succeeded by Zhang Liang, Marquis of Changxin. Li Mu's position as a guard lieutenant was taken over by Fan Zeng.

In this way, the three public candidates: Prime Minister Fan Sui, Taiwei Zhe, and the post of Imperial Historian are vacant. Jiuqing candidates: Wei Wei Fan Zeng, Lang Zhongling Zhang Liang, Dianke Li Si, Zhisu Neishi Liu Guang, Shaofu Chen Sui, Taichang Wang Fang, Taifu Huang Bo, Zongzheng Han Ze, Si Kou Jingyang.

Although some people have been writing to Han Tianzi, asking for the appointment of a new imperial historian as soon as possible, King Han has not given the order for a long time, which makes the ministers speculate.

In August 246 BC, Han Tianzi suddenly convened his ministers to discuss the use of troops. (To be continued.) )xh118
