Chapter 167: The Wei State Declines, and the Qin State Rises

The news that Gongsun Ying had sentenced the two prince's masters to death soon spread throughout Yongdu, and the nobles, who were still ready to move, immediately became honest and did not dare to violate the new law.

And after the crown prince was killed to set an example, the overt or implicit obstacles in the new law implemented by the Qin State disappeared immediately, and the implementation of the new law became unimpeded.

After Wang Pu received the news from the secret guard, after seeing Gongsun Ying's approach, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's a pity! ”

When it is about to be thrown aside, if Gongsun Ying takes this opportunity to persuade Qin Hou to abolish the crown prince, and then support other princes to serve as princes, there may be a glimmer of life after Qin Hou's death. As a result, Gongsun Ying disposed of the prince's master, but did not do anything to the prince.

trample the crown prince's face on the ground, and when the prince ascends the throne, it will be his time of death. However, considering that Gongsun Ying is still young and not proficient in power struggle, it is understandable to do so.

After Gongsun Martingale made an example of chickens and monkeys, there was no obstacle to Qin's changes. Gongsun Ying abolished the well-field system, distributed a large amount of the nobles' fields to the people of the Qin State, and reclaimed the ridges between the wells and fields into farmland, encouraging the people to reclaim the wilderness.

At the same time, the private ownership of farmland was recognized, land sales were allowed, and taxes were balanced, and a large amount of wasteland was reclaimed in the Qin state.

Because after the household division order was issued, a large number of father-son cohabitation houses were split, and the number of households in the Qin State directly doubled, and a large number of households appeared, which also made the tax revenue of the Qin State increase rapidly.

Qin's changes made the Qin Marquis very satisfied, and after having money and food, in addition to rearmament, Qin also began to build various water conservancy projects.

Qin took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains, and Wei was unable to look westward, so he quickly implemented the law change. But the Central Plains is once again in the midst of war.

After the alliance between Wei and Korea, the pressure on Zhao increased dramatically, and after seeing this situation, Zhao began to make friends with Qi.

The State of Qi originally wanted to weaken the State of Wei, and the alliance of the State of Zhao could be described as an instant hit.

The alliance between Zhao and Qi touched the sensitive nerves of Wei at once. You must know that over the years, Wei has been fighting with Qi for the Central Plains.

Now that Qi and Zhao are allied, the two countries are one east and one north, and the situation of Wei suddenly becomes dangerous. Seeing this situation, Wei Hou immediately invited South Korea to attack Zhao together.

After the Wei State changed the law, its strength quickly became stronger, defeating the Qin State to the west, the Qi State to the east, the Chu State to the south, and the Zhao State several times.

Wei's operation made the countries know the importance of changing the law, and at the same time, it also made the countries very hostile to Wei, and after the changes in the law, the institutional advantages of Wei's reform were gradually caught up by other countries. Now the only one in Wei who can still lead other countries is Wei Wushu.

In the past, there was the Three Jin Alliance, the Wei State was strong, and the Qin Qi was invincible. However, after the collapse of the Three Jin Alliance, Wei did not have the help of Zhao, and its strength was greatly reduced.

Among them, the happiest is the Qin State, over the years, the Qin State has had a very difficult time, Wei Wenhou, Wei Wuhou era, the Qin State was beaten by the Wei State to lose the armor, embarrassed, heavy casualties, the West River land was all taken.

However, taking advantage of the weakening of Wei, the Qin State quickly completed the change, and its strength increased significantly, and it had already begun to be eager to try the Wei State.

After several turmoil in the Wei State, Wei Wushu suffered a large number of losses, and Wei Wushu's training was not something that could be completed in a short time, which also led to a decline in the strength of the Wei State.

This time, Zhao and Qi allied, and then attacked Wei, wanting Jian to go to Wei to help, Wei Hou saw this situation, and immediately invited South Korea to send troops to attack Zhao and Qi.

The Han and Wei coalition forces and the Qi and Zhao coalition forces fought in the defense of the country. Even if the strength of Wei declined and the loss of Wei Wushu was not small, but with the help of South Korea, Wei was still inseparable from Zhao and Qi, and even had the upper hand.

The cities that were captured by Zhao and Qi were recaptured.

On the other hand, after learning that Wei was entangled by Qi, Qin immediately sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the land west of the Wei River.

The Qin State is eyeing the land of the West River, mainly because the land of the West River is too important to the Qin State. After learning of Qin's attack, Wei Hou's face changed slightly, and since Wei Hou ascended the throne, Wei had fallen into the predicament of being surrounded by Qin Qi and Zhao.

After Wei Hou's father, Wei Wuhou, defeated the princes that year, although he obtained a large amount of land, the relationship between the states and Wei was basically broken.

This time Qi Zhao attacked Wei, and then Qin took the opportunity to attack again. For a time, Wei was in a dilemma.

After defeating the Zhao Qi coalition army, Wei Hou, who wanted to continue the pursuit, hurriedly ordered the army to retreat and garrison, and then began to rely on the city wall to defend, while on the other side, the Qin State attacked in a big way.

The Marquis of Wei mobilized a large army and appointed Gongsun Fu as the commander to resist the Qin army.

After the Gongsun Martingale reform, the strength of the soldiers of the Qin State has been greatly improved, and the Qin law forced the soldiers of the Qin army to be brave, and Gongsun Martingale also practiced the way of soldiers in the school palace back then.

led the Qin army to attack, but the Wei State couldn't resist it. After Gongsun Fu led Wei Wushu to come, Gongsun Ying fought three consecutive battles with him, but Wei Wushu couldn't resist and had to evacuate.

Because of the previous losses of Wei Wushu, this time the number of Wei Wushu was not much, coupled with the large number of Qin State, Gongsun Fu couldn't resist it, so he had to retreat.

Seeing this situation, Wei hurriedly sent people to Korea for help, and Korea sent a large army to the source, as a result, the Qin army defeated Wei and the Korean coalition again in Huaxian, and the two countries had to retreat again.

The Qin state won successive battles, its morale was high, and it seized a large area of land from the Wei state in a war. When Qin Hou learned about it, he was very excited and trusted Gongsun Martingale even more.

Wei was defeated in successive battles, and the Qin army continued to attack, and then the Qin and Han and Wei coalition forces fought again in Luoyin, this time although the Han and Wei coalition forces were defeated, they were not defeated, and finally blocked the Qin state.

However, at this time, Wei and South Korea drew troops, and the Qi and Zhao states in the east fought again, and the Korean and Wei states fought on two fronts, and they couldn't resist it for a while.

Seeing this situation, Wei Hou understood that he could no longer fight, and sent envoys to Zhao and Qi to sue for peace.

Eventually, Qi and Zhao agreed to make peace with Wei, and Wei ceded several cities. Without the containment of the east, Wei was finally able to deal with Qin, and with Wei Hou inviting Zhao to help in the war, Qin once again faced the Three Jin Alliance. This time, with the help of Zhao State, Qin State was defeated and had to withdraw its troops overnight.

It's just that even so, Wei was occupied by Qin and a large area of land, and the defense of the West River Land was opened.
