The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 297: Wei Guo joined

Since Zhao Guo has agreed to join the Alliance, it is not surprising that Wei Guo, who has a secret agreement with Zhao Guo, joined him.

Wei State is located in the Central Plains, and the situation is similar to that of South Korea, surrounded by Zhao, Yan, Qi, Chu, and South Korea. It can be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides. Among them, the alliance between the State of Zhao and the State of Wei relieved part of the worry, but on the other sides, the enemy was full of dangers.

Now, Wei's only ally, Zhao Guo, has also joined this new round of coalition, and Wei has lost his only support. Both his north and west will be the basic board of the He-Zong Alliance. As a country that stands in front of the alliance, Wei Guo bears the brunt and bears the greatest pressure.

Wang Wei would not believe that facing his own stumbling block, this behemoth alliance would not have other ideas?

If you refuse to join the alliance, it is very likely that the first test stone of the alliance will be your own Wei State. As for his so-called ally, Zhao Guo, I'm just kidding. In this chaotic era, the so-called trust has long been incomplete, and some are only the maintenance of interests.

If the alliance can give Zhao Guo enough benefits, then Zhao Guo would never mind stabbing himself and biting off a piece of meat fiercely.

Wei Wangwan did not forget that his border was only a mere a hundred miles away from Handan, the capital of Zhao State. If the army moves quickly, it will be able to arrive in two or three days, which can be said to threaten the foundation of Zhao's rule.

In order to guard against Wei's surprise attack, Zhao also built a great wall on the border of Zhao and Wei, which was specially used to guard against Wei's surprise attack.

Because of knowing the Great Wall, Zhao and Wei did not know how many frictions and struggles occurred in history. With this kind of previous conviction, even if Wang Zhao and Wang Wei are sad because of the common sufferings and have a deep relationship, they have a basis for cooperation before. But he still couldn't believe that Wang Zhao would refuse to deliver the benefits before his eyes because of these.

Anyway, if Wang Wang himself was replaced, he would not refuse. As a qualified king, their interests are what they value most. For this, they can sacrifice everything, even their wives, children, parents and relatives.

On the contrary, if Wei Guo joins the alliance, although he doesn't know what the alliance's goal is, because their alliance leader, Yu Guo, has not yet stated his purpose.

But there is one thing that can be confirmed, that is, Wei will not be attacked, but can get the **** of the alliance, and there is no need to worry about the attack of Chu in the south and the more powerful Qi in the east.

Moreover, it is very likely that Wei Guo will always be able to reap some benefits this time. Just like the previous beating of Qin, whether it is to continue to fight against Qin, or to fight against Chu or Qi in the south. The Wei Kingdom, which is adjacent to these three great powers, can all get direct benefits. Expanding territory and plundering population are all direct means to enhance Wei's strength.

As for some of the population lost as a result, it is no longer in King Wei's consideration. In their hearts, as long as they have land, the population will not slowly recover.

As long as it doesn't kill people all at once, population is not a problem at all. Just like grass on the ground, once a crop is cut, another crop will grow again. Don't worry at all.

The happy days of the rulers like King Wei can continue to be maintained, and it will be maintained even better in the future. Because when the time comes, they will have enough territory to squander them.

Which faction, even if another great power rises, can be like the Qin before it, relying on the continuous blockage and delay of the territory, the life of Wei can be maintained for hundreds of years.

Wang Wei will also become the lord of the Wei Dynasty's generation of resurgence, with a status comparable to that of the founding lord of the Wei Dynasty.

The joining of the State of Wei has restored the strength of the alliance to more than half of what it was before, and there is only one State of Chu left!

The state of Chu is extremely vigilant about this alliance that has been re-formed again, because many people in the state of Chu think that this alliance is aimed at going abroad.

Nowadays, according to the traditional concept, the world's great power is either Qin or Chu, and again it is Qi.

The reason is that these three big countries are on the edge of the center of the world, far away from the vortex of war, and have enough buffers.

Especially Qin and Chu, there are enough barbarians to expand in the surrounding areas, with unlimited potential, and the country is the most fertile, with sufficient strategic buffer, there is no crisis of destroying the country in World War I.

As for Qi, it is much worse.

The basic territory of Qi State is probably the majority of Shandong Province, plus a part of Hebei, Henan, and Jiangsu Provinces. In general, it is the area of ​​one province.

Although this kind of area is not small, it is not large, and it is only a few counties. If a large army breaks through the border, it will ravage the country. It takes ten days to lead an army to the capital of Qi. By then, the country will be broken, and Qi will be almost destroyed.

In this ancient society, the capital is the essence of a country and the symbol of its spirit.

Linzi, the capital of Qi State, has 70,000 households and 40 million people~IndoMTL.com~ With such a large population, it is almost equivalent to 1/1o of Qi State.

If all of Qi's country is occupied, and other places are raged by enemy countries, then what does Qi rely on to continue to resist aggression? Do you rely on other poor villages?

What's more, Qi State is such a big place in total. It takes only a month for the army to go back and forth twice. The terrain of Qi State is plain, and the journey is smooth. There is no time to delay, and it is difficult to organize effective resistance.

In addition to the surrounding area of ​​Qi, the north is the country of Yan, a land of bitter cold, and there are raging nonsense. The East is the Wei Kingdom. Although it is now declining, it is, after all, the hegemony in the early Warring States period. It still has a bit of background. It may not be possible to defeat Qi, but it is more than enough to resist Qi's attack. As for the Chu Kingdom in the south, it is a more powerful country than Qi, so don't even think about it.

It can be said that Qi's expansion has been blocked, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to make great progress. The geographical location of Qi State is doomed to its limitations.

So, unless the country is as large as Qin and Chu and has enough strategic depth, even if the country is breached, it can withdraw to other places to continue to organize resistance.

Just like the Qin State destroying the Six Nations, it only costs two or three hundred thousand troops to fight against other countries, but it costs 60,000 to destroy Chu State. In Qin State’s budget, Qi State does not have this kind of treatment.

Why is this? It is not because the territory of Chu is large enough. Let alone the main force of Chu, let alone the basic rule over the areas occupied by Chu, a large number of troops of Qin must be dispersed.

Also, the king of Chu can take advantage of the vast area of ​​his country to take advantage of the slower disadvantages of the Qin army's operations, flee to the rear, and organize a large army to resist. This is the advantage of a big country.
