Chapter 196 II

In desperation, Liu Bang changed his strategy, and still did not move, with Zhang Liang sitting in the formation, and Han Feizi as the king, South Korea turned north and directly attacked the two small countries of Song and Lu. The Song and Lu countries did not take Liu Bang's too seriously, nor did they ask others for help, and directly opened a scoop with the Han State, but the gap in talent was not something that could be bridged by confidence, so it didn't take long for the Song State to lose half of its land, and the royal city became precarious under the Han State's troops.

Lu Guo was frightened and hurriedly asked Qi Guo for help.

Qi was very happy, and indeed sent troops to help, but Lu also died, taking the opportunity of garrisoning, directly swallowed Lu State, the hometown of Confucius, and the direct result was that the small sage Zhuang in Qi State had a conflict in Qi State, and all kinds of talents were forcibly called back, so that Qi State had a shortage of talents for a period of time.

But Qi is also ruthless, you Confucianism ignore me to find other families, turn your head and find the people of the merchants, with Qi as the portal, began to benefit the country with business, with agriculture to establish the country on the road of agriculture and commerce.

The price of this was that Confucianism and Qi completely lost their hearts, coupled with the instigation of the Han State and the policy of exclusive respect for Confucianism, so that all those Confucian scholars who had a career in the Han State went to serve in the Han State, and with their help, they took the Song State without bloodshed, so that the territory of the Han State jumped from the original two or three cities to almost a province.

Seeing that there was a bargain to be gained, South Korea also made a decisive attack to drive the Han State out of the ancient Central Plains, so that the entire southern part of the Central Plains was included in the territory of Korea.

Qin is also a master of knowing the machine, and he also made a decisive attack on South Korea.

After all, there is the existence of Zhang Liang, a saint, plus Han Feizi, so don't look at the weakness of South Korea, but it is also a nail in the heart of Qin Shi Huang.

Yes, Qin Shi Huang was still alive at this time, as for the reason, just like those historical figures who are still active, they all survived by cultivation and elixir, so don't look at the hundreds of years that have passed, but Qin is still Qin Shi Huang who controls everything, so that everything has no room to take the lead.

The Qin state grew stronger, but the surrounding states became weakened by internal turmoil.

Then Song Taizu Zhao Jiuzhong appeared, first hibernation in the Han Dynasty, understanding the situation in the spiritual world, and then suddenly rising, relying on his personal charm and later gradually gathered around the acquaintances and old generals to grab a city, began his counterattack.

It was also at this time that the values of the Confucian scholars were fully embodied! The old Confucians, who were quite satisfied with the exclusive respect for Confucianism, that is, the ancient Confucians, were able to adhere to their own ethics, be loyal to the country, and support the Han Kingdom, which had already been a little resentful of their relatives, royal families, and nobles at that time.

Of course, this is also something that can't be helped, after all, their interests are tied to the Han Kingdom, which is equivalent to both prosperity and loss, and they live a long life, they are all old and immortal, and it is not an exaggeration to say that half of the chaos in the Han Kingdom is caused by their willingness, so in order to protect the interests of their families and individuals, they can't even if they don't want to participate in the war.

The Neo-Confucians, that is, after the Tang Dynasty in history, the Confucian scholars who were more and more old-fashioned and unified in their thinking, and some side branches and unpopular Confucian scholars who were not accepted by the people in the Shilin at that time in the Han Dynasty all ran to Zhao Jiuzhong's camp.

After all, the slogan of sharing the world with scholars and doctors was shouted too well, and those Confucian scholars couldn't help but be unmoved, so in a short period of time, Zhao Jiuzhong's team expanded rapidly, and all kinds of talents emerged, coupled with the help of other aspects, the Han Kingdom was full of wind and smoke for a while, and it became stormy.

What's more, there is also the participation of the Qi State, which has a favorable way, selling weapons and lending troops to obtain benefits from time to time, making the Han State more and more dangerous, and the people's livelihood is withering more and more, and even further causing the chaos of the Han State, and the peasant uprisings began to appear frequently, pushing the Han State into the abyss of national annihilation at any time.

Unthinkable, Liu Bang had to lose his face again and send someone to Chu State, the head of the military family and a subordinate of the hundred schools, to find Xiang Yu for help, but before his people saw Xiang Yu, Sui Tang took advantage of the opportunity of Korea being pinned down by the Qin State to quickly send troops, giving the Han State a fatal blow, and completely pushed the Han State to the abyss of national annihilation.

Many capable ministers ran away and scattered to other countries to seek a new life.

Then he went to war with Tang and Song......

However, after only a few battles, they each closed the river and used the Yellow River as the boundary to demarcate the national border.

Dali should have appeared in the Yunnan region at that time, and the Jurchen, Daliao, Tuyuhui and other Fanbang countries also began to appear in the grassland area where the Huns were still galloping at this time.

In this regard, the undeveloped Han State can be regarded as saving their lives, otherwise they would have gone overseas at this time to become the 'whip of God' in the mouths of Europeans and Americans.

But it's not much better. Qin Shi Huang has always been a ruthless man who is not accustomed to foreign peoples, so in the hundreds of years since the founding of the spiritual world, except for the normal conquest of the Central Plains, most of the rest of the time is to deal with the Xiongnu outside the Saiwai and the Turkic, Tuyuhui, Uighur, Qiang, Xianbei and other peoples that appeared later, and they are desperately resisted outside the Great Wall, unable to set foot in the Central Plains.

Therefore, in the eyes of these foreign peoples, except for the Han countries that have not made a career, they are the most hateful in the Qin State.

As for Sui Tang...... With the Li family here, it will be very good to mix with the Saiwai ethnic groups at that time, even if Yang Jian is resolutely opposed to forming an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and the Saiwai ethnic groups.

Therefore, in addition to the normal interests of the people, the contradiction between Yang Jian and Li Tang has become more and more profound on the issue of dealing with the non-Cypriot nationalities.

Wu Zetian continued to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, maintaining the balance on the surface of Suitang.

But if you can block the west but can't block the east, the Qi State is rotten after all, even if there are some new opportunities because of the implementation of the agricultural and commercial policy, but in terms of dealing with the foreign nationalities, not to mention the Qin and Tang Dynasties, even the Zhao State that has been destroyed, they are also inferior, not to mention the decaying present? Therefore, just when the spiritual world entered a short period of calm again, the Turkic soldiers of the Liao State and the Xiongnu Dongxian Wang Department jointly broke through the defense of the Great Wall of Qi and entered the territory of the Qi State. The front of the army is directed at the Central Plains.

The countries were alarmed, and the Tang, Song, Han, Chu, and Yue countries all entered a state of preparedness for war. And a few months later, in the new summer of the following year, the first major war between the Central Plains and the peoples outside the Central Plains broke out.

The two sides suffered heavy losses in this battle, and there was not one Han people in the entire old Qi country, and Su Di was close to the old Qi country area, and there were no people. The Song relied on the benefits of the city to get by, although it also lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, but it was generally able to maintain the national capital, but on the contrary, Suitang, which had a large number of horses to form cavalry, suffered heavy losses, lost many areas, and the population was looted.

It was not until the Qin State suddenly sent troops to the outside of the fortress and fought the big tent of the Xiongnu royal family that it had to end the war, except for leaving some people to continue to occupy Qingzhou, and the rest of the people returned to the fortress with plunder.

At this point, the spiritual world entered the second phase of peace......

Until the appearance of the Ming Dynasty.
