The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 293: The war subsided
Annihilated the Chu army, which was his last enemy in the way, and embarked on a new journey once again.
Because the Qin army on the South Road was divided into various cities to defend the Chu army’s offensive in situ, and can harass the Chu army’s logistics in the rear, the Qin army’s strength was extremely scattered, scattered in twenty More than a city.
Except for the one hundred thousand Qin army defending in Nanliang City, the other cities have only one to two thousand, or simply a few thousand people.
After Nanliang City was broken by the Chu army, the entire Nanlu battlefield fell into an awkward situation.
That is, there are hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the south, but there is no Qin army that can stop the Chu army from attacking. After all, although the number of Qin Jun is larger than that of Chu Jun, it is extremely scattered and difficult to gather. The Qin army that can be used to stop the Chu army is often only a few small units on and around the Chu army's marching road, and I don't know if there are 20,000 or 30,000 people in total.
Such a little bit of people, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. What can they do to stop them? They have gone through a blood-fire tempering, have completely become brave men, and they are all composed of men who are in their prime of life. The Chu Jun.
If these Qin troops gather together and head out of the city to fight the Chu army, they may have just met, and they may be directly defeated by the morale of the Chu army!
So, these hundreds of thousands of Qin troops can only shrink in the city they are defending, and let the Qin troops outside the city torment them, but he dare not make a difference.
But it would be a big mistake to think that these Qin Jun are cowards and cowards!
The reason why these Qin troops didn't dare to go out of the city was not because of fear of war, but because they wanted to retain their strength and wait for the opportunity.
After all, these Qin Jun are not fools. They clearly and deeply understand how serious and how big the gap between themselves and the enemies outside is?
If you really go out of the city to fight in the field, then you will obey those enemies and you will really be a fool.
The Chu army outside was anxious that the Qin army in the city would go out to battle, so as to take this opportunity to clean up the troubles and leave a safe rear.
If you really go head-to-head with the Qin army, in those siege battles, all the 100,000 Chu army will die, I don't know if they can take the remaining city guarded by the Qin army.
So the two-phase balance is the lighter one. Whether it is the defenders of the city or the central Xianyang of the Qin State, the orders they convey are to stay on standby to watch for quiet change.
After that, as news came from the battlefields in the central and northern regions, the southern Qin army, under Xianyang's order, began to prepare for its retreat.
In today's battlefield, the central part suffers both losses. It can be said that there is no so-called central battlefield anymore. The northern part ended with the tragic victory of the allied forces of Zhao and Wei, and the two countries also took advantage of the situation to invade the entire Hanoi county of Qin. It completely declared the power of the Qin State and completely withdrew from Hebei.
As for the Chu State reinforcements in the south, after receiving the news from the two battlefields in the north, they immediately stopped their advancement and instead stayed in Nanliang City to observe the situation.
As for the retreat of the remnants of the Qin Army around Nanliang City, Xiang Yan became a transparent person as if he could not see it. He chose the same choice as Li Mu and let them leave.
As for the reason, the soldiers of Chu Kingdom are also human, they also have wives, sons and daughters, how can they be wasted on the battlefield in vain, leaving tens of thousands of households destroyed in Chu Kingdom!
What's more, in Xiang Yan's heart, he still has some selfishness.
Now the 100,000 Chu army in his hand, after this period of mastery, has been slowly controlled in his hand, and his commands have been placed in the same position as those of the King of Chu.
This is a terrible phenomenon. For King Chu, it means that the 100,000 Chu army has been out of his control. But for Xiang Yan, this is a gratifying change. In addition to his fiefdom, he has an additional 100,000 direct line of Chu Army, which becomes an important hole card in his hand.
With these 100,000 troops, and they are all elite troops who have undergone blood-fire tempering, Xiang Yan's position in the Kingdom of Chu will be greatly enhanced. He will change from a general of Chu State who was insignificant to a powerful party, becoming one of the top few in power in Chu State.
This change is an unparalleled temptation for his family or himself.
I am afraid that the current King of Chu is going to have a headache. He regained the lost ground and defeated the Qin Jun, but he ushered in a big tailed Xiang Yan. How to deal with him will be a problem.
A bad one will cause turmoil in the State of Chu, or it may cause all the territory currently occupied by the State of Chu to be lost again, and on the contrary, it will fall into endless internal friction.
In the central battlefield, although the war has been completely eliminated, the wounds left by the war are still spreading on this land and lingering.
There are broken houses and shingles, withered trees, and abandoned fields. On the roads along the way, the green grass is invisible, and the lush woods disappeared, replaced by a bare, lifeless scene.
The war on this land ~IndoMTL.com~ lasted for nearly three years. In these three years, the surrounding people did not have any production, and their rations were forcibly confiscated by the army.
Faced with the situation where they will starve to death if they don’t fill their stomachs, they have to use their wisdom to dig grass roots, peel tree bark, eat leaves, and catch insects everywhere!
In front of them, everything they thought was edible and not edible was eaten by them, and the piece of food that they ate became a **** on earth, a barren land.
Nowadays, the originally prosperous and prosperous place in the Central Plains, an important birthplace of the Chinese civilization, has become a ghostly mythical creature, which is hard to see in a hundred miles. [ban^fushang] First release
This war was ultimately won by the coalition forces. The Qin army on the border of South Korea retreated to Sanchuan County, and even gave up many counties outside of the pass around Luoyang City in Sanchuan County.
Retired to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in an all-round way, and in the Hulao Pass around Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's attitude towards the princes was maintained.
Besides Sanchuan County, there are a total of eleven counties that have been abandoned, and all of these sites have been taken over by the winner's side, that is, South Korea.
This is the promise Zhong Yu promised to South Korea before the war, and it is also a reluctance to make up for South Korea's dilapidated strength.
Facing that since he took the throne, he has come from South Korea for the first time in decades to expand its territory, or regain lost ground. King Han was a bit happy for the first time in Korea, which was destroyed by the war, and dispatched officials to receive him.
It's just that the officials sent by King Han went forward with expectation, but in the end they reported to King Han with disappointment.
Obviously, the situation in these newly regained territories is not very good, at least, it makes these officials feel desperate and no longer have the previous joy.
