Chapter 936: Zhongshan Kingdom
I saw it with my own eyes after Bai Qi's death.
Those countries that sent troops to the alliance against the Qin State only withdrew.
This time in the battle of Changping with Qin, Zhao's national strength was greatly hit, although he had the intention to unite all countries to destroy Qin together, but the countries had withdrawn, and Zhao had no way, so he honestly withdrew his troops.
But this battle came down.
Let Zhao Guo's strength in this world is only weaker than that of Qin State, and it will not be able to recover at all without hundreds of years.
Just the powerhouse of Zhao State's half-step Emperor Realm caused Zhao State to suffer heavy losses, not to mention a million troops.
After the Changping War between Qin and Zhao, the Warring States World was calm for a long time, and there were only many small frictions, but the Qin State experienced that war, and on the surface, it lost a strong man in the Imperial Realm, but it seized the territory of Zhao for thousands of miles, and there are infinite resources, but it has been silently developing its national strength.
And the friction between other countries is constant.
After all, there are also mutual benefits between countries.
The northern border of the Zhao Kingdom.
It is not the overseas grassland that has been recognized, it is still the land of the Central Plains.
Zhongshan Country.
Under the conquest of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the existence of other small countries in the Central Plains is not strong, especially the Zhongshan Kingdom, the sense of existence has always been very weak.
But.
It was not a kingdom composed of the Yan and Huang tribes of the Central Plains, but a kingdom composed of ethnic groups from abroad, but a kingdom established by a tribe called Bai Di.
Among the countries of the Central Plains, although the countries compete with each other, they belong to the same lineage.
Moreover, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States also pursued a truth, and their hearts must be different if they are not of our race.
As for why the Zhongshan Kingdom was able to establish a country in the Central Plains, and it was not destroyed by the Central Plains countries, it may also be because of the Zhao State.
Zhao is a northern country, if there is no Zhongshan country, then his north will be disturbed by foreign races, and Zhongshan country was established in the north of Zhao country, occupying less than 100,000 li of land, but it is a small country, and Zhao can be easily destroyed.
The most important thing is that Zhongshan can defend Zhao from the alien disturbances from the northern grasslands, and Zhao can naturally sit back and watch.
This is also the fundamental reason for the existence of this Zhongshan country.
Grassland.
The border of Zhongshan country.
At the moment, it is starting a war.
A large family of the steppe, the Huns.
drove 100,000 troops and plundered Zhongshan Kingdom, countless border people of Zhongshan Country are fleeing in embarrassment, and the border defenders of Zhongshan Country have been directly defeated.
For Zhongshan, it is just a small country, with a population of less than 10 million, and most of them are Yan and Huang ethnic groups, and his own ethnic group is only one million.
Whenever he was invaded by the powerful clans in the north, there was no way at all, but he could only ask Zhao Guochi for help.
"Kill... Kill..."
"Snatch up the resources of these Zhongshan countries. ”
"Hahaha... Kill..."
The army of 100,000 Huns galloped, frantically plundered the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, killed people and killed people, and the cruelty was endless.
"Spare your life..."
"The general spares his life..."
Countless ordinary people were killed by the Hun cavalry, which was extremely tragic.
And on this.
The border army of Zhongshan had been routed, and there was no other way but to flee in confusion and flee into the royal city.
"King Qiqi, the Huns have invaded with another 100,000 army, and our 50,000 defenders have all been finished, what should we do next?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, our clan is already weak, and the strength of our Zhongshan Kingdom is also the lowest among the Central Plains countries, and we have been invaded by foreign ethnic groups all the year round, and we have no way to enhance our national strength..."
In the royal city of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Some of the Baidi of Zhongshan Kingdom said to the King of Zhongshan.
A look of panic.
"At the beginning, it was said that the Central Plains was good and the Central Plains was rich, so we came to the Central Plains, but now this is the case. ”
"It's been a hundred years, and although we Bai Di originally had a hard time on the grassland, we haven't been so humiliated. ”
King Zhongshan sat on the throne and said with a sigh.
Originally.
Bai Di is also like the Huns, galloping on the grassland, although not as powerful as the Huns, but also a small clan that is not weak, has always been based on invading the border of the Central Plains and plundering.
But since the agreement was reached with the state of Zhao.
Bai Di's fate was not as good as before.
At the beginning, Zhao Guo promised that if Bai Di was willing to garrison the northern border for Zhao State, 100,000 li of land and nearly 10 million people would belong to Bai Di.
For foreign races.
The prosperity and richness of the Central Plains are what they yearn for.
This Bai Di patriarch, who is also the current king of Zhongshan, did not resist the temptation, agreed to the agreement of Zhao State, took the ethnic group into the Central Plains, and controlled 100,000 territories, at the beginning, the border garrison of Zhao State was still there, so they also enjoyed the prosperity of the Central Plains for a period of time.
But after a long time, Zhao Guo directly withdrew the defenders on the border, and it became their Zhongshan Kingdom that directly faced the grassland attack.
In the beginning.
Zhao also sent troops to help.
Can go with time.
Especially after the Battle of Changping a few decades ago, Zhao's national strength weakened, and he did not send troops to help at all, which also caused Bai Di to suffer heavy losses.
And Zhao has no border disturbances, but is also trying to restore national strength.
"Your Majesty, why don't we just want this Central Plains territory, go back to the grassland, we have been helping Zhao resist the invasion of the Xiongnu and other ethnic groups, but Zhao has not given us any benefits at all, we are a grassland ethnic group, there is no need to fight hard for these Yanhuang ethnic groups. ”
"Yes, we just didn't do anything, just evacuated and returned to the grassland. ”
"We are working hard for Zhao Guo, but they are ignoring us, there is no need..."
One by one, Bai Di's people spoke one after another.
There was also an indescribable anger in his tone.
Looks like.
After so many years of loss, they can't help it.
"Are you willing?"
"Are you willing to be the glory and wealth of the Central Plains?"
Listening to the noise of his subordinates, the King of Zhongshan raised his head and looked at these subordinates.
Hear this.
Suddenly everyone became dumbfounded.
In the grassland, there is nothing to enjoy except freedom, but in the Central Plains, it is indeed much more than the grassland.
Return to the grasslands.
Easy to say.
So many years.
They have forgotten even the basic skills of the steppe.
"Newspaper. ”
"The Xiongnu army has reached the royal city, and the soldiers defending the city have closed the city gates, but there are still tens of thousands of people and soldiers outside. ”
A Zhongshan soldier ran in in a panic and said.
"Why didn't the Huns leave after plundering this time?
King Zhongshan was a little panicked.
In the past hundred years, Zhongshan Country has also suffered many times of robbery by grassland tribes, but almost all of them have left after a robbery, but today it is contrary to common sense.
