The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 328: The rise of the rebels
??? The sixth year of Emperor Yuan, November.
In recent months, the domestic rebellion in the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu has become more and more grand and sweeping, threatening the rule of the three kingdoms.
Because these places are powerful, they have a huge influence in the local area, and their influence is spread in every aspect, and their tentacles extend to every family.
Therefore, many people were encouraged by them to join the rebels, and even the local defenders directly changed their flags and changed their flags, and transformed them into rebels against tyranny.
As a result, in Xun Yue, Jiangdong County, Tao County, and Taiyuan County were all captured, and there was no more tentacles of the Three Kingdoms.
With these three counties, the power of the rebels has grown stronger and stronger, gradually sweeping across and reaching other areas of the Three Kingdoms.
Among them, Wu County, Lujiang County, and Hengshan County of the Chu Kingdom were attacked by rebels in nearly half of the area. If it weren't for the resources of the court army in the rear, it would have long been unable to hold on.
However, even so, it is hard to support. After all, most of Chu's army was brought to the battlefield of Qi. The local left-behind forces are extremely weak, and Kuaiji and other places are in the rear, and the defenders are even rarer, so Seeing that Chu State felt overwhelmed.
The difference between Zhao and Wei is not big. Several counties have been affected by the war, and the rebels have grown stronger. On the contrary, the imperial court’s counter-insurgency army consisted of private nobles’ private armies. With scruples, counter-insurgency was quite unfavorable. It even fought several defeats in a row, fueling the arrogance of the rebels.
Especially Wei Guo, although the territory is extensive, but it is a long strip, twists and turns, and the depth is not large. After Dongjun and Taojun were affected by the rebellion, the soldiers pointed directly at the king of Wei, and the country was in turmoil.
At the same time, the coalition forces that had been attacking Qi had new moves when they received a rebellion in the country and saw that they couldn't resist it.
Among them, the State of Wei is especially the case. Today, the Wei State's army has been separated from the mainland by Tao County and Dong County. It is extremely dangerous.
So the Great King Wei was quite frightened. In a hurry, he submitted a letter of resignation to Zhong Yu. Despite his obstruction, he led the 150,000 Wei army in the coalition to withdraw troops in a panic, marching towards Tao Jun, preparing The chaos is gone.
As soon as Wei's army left, the coalition's offensive against Qi suddenly turned into a defensive position, maintaining the place it now invaded.
The state of Chu was also quite flustered when it received its own domestic rebellion, which swept through five or six counties, and the number of rebels reached nearly 300,000.
Despite the huge power of the nobles in the country, they quickly recruited an army of the same number to suppress it. But after all, the rebels are locals, and they have the advantages of favorable geographical location and people. They were able to fight against the imperial army, which made the war further into the quagmire and it was difficult to quell it.
So, after the rebels lost some cities, they shrank all their soldiers and horses in the southern four counties.
Especially the rebels in Hengshan County, after engulfing most of the local youth, plundered some local wealth, they all withdrew to Lujiang County, where they joined with the rebels in Lujiang, Huiji, and Wu County.
After the rebels from these four places joined together, their power quickly rose, and they quickly defeated the remnant Chu defenders that had persisted in Lujiang County and Wu County, and completely controlled these three counties.
After that, relying on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, the four counties that connected the place into one quickly merged into one. After some benefits, a leader of a powerful and powerful clan named Ouyang Chen was elected and respected him as the King of Yue. .
According to the news spread by these rebels, this man named Ouyang Chen has the bloodline of the King of Yue Goujian. He is the descendant of the owner of the old country of Yue. He has a natural legal system for ruling the three southern counties and can awaken the local people. Memories of Vietnam.
Together with his own clan, his power is not weak, with an elite army of 50,000 people.
This number is not weak among the rebels with only 300,000.
Be aware that among the rebels, the formation of forces is quite complex, most of the powerful men only have a few hundred or thousands of people, and there are very few over ten thousand, and they can count them with one hand.
This Ouyang Chen has 50,000 people, and he has won all the rebels.
The reason for this is that, after all, his identity as a descendant of the King of Yue played a role, attracting a considerable number of people from the Yue Kingdom in Kuaiji to join, and this has gained current momentum.
Now he has gotten what he wanted and restored the social and legal system of the Yue country. He has also become the master of Yue country's revival and rebuilt the Yue country again.
At the same time, in the south of the newly-built Yue Kingdom, shortly after being defeated by the Chu State, on the land of the original Minyue State, those Yue States from the time when the name of Minyue heard about their ancestors, under the efforts of the descendants of the first kings , Rebuild again.
They, who had the same blood, killed the local defenders of Chu State, raised the banner of resistance again, and sent the county to the newly built Yue State, which greatly increased the momentum of Yue State.
So far, all the land south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been owned by the State of Vietnam.
Correspondingly, Chu State was hit hard, losing 1/4 of its land and a population of more than one million, and its strength was greatly damaged.
Furthermore, with the support of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, it was not easy for Chu State to want Du Jiang to put down the rebellion again.
With the current national power of Chu, after several years of war ~IndoMTL.com~ and large-scale domestic rebellion, there is no longer any national power to defeat this newly established Yue country and take back its own land.
It is foreseeable that the rise of this country of Yue is unstoppable, and the country of Chu can only endure this breath abruptly, slowly regaining its national strength, and licking its wounds.
So when I heard about this great change in his country, the King of Chu was also quite horrified. The position of Yue State is behind Chu State, and it can strike every piece of land in Chu State. If it is not eliminated, then Chu State will no longer have any energy to go out and expand.
Otherwise, who knows when this country with hundreds of thousands of soldiers will send troops to stab Chu's chrysanthemum and give him a fatal blow!
And Zhao Guo, the rebellion is not very big.
There was also a rebellion, but there were not many people who followed them.
Yanzhao are many generous and tragic people. They have been invaded by the Hu people and the Eastern Qin State for a long time. In his character, he has a strong sense of strength, and at the same time he is extremely strong in the discipline of the army.
This also led to their loyalty to the king, which is also quite profound.
Just like the Qin people, the loyalty to the King Qin is no longer for the so-called fame and fortune, but the loyalty deeply in the blood.
This kind of inheritance from the bloodline is not something these tycoons can inspire or even obliterate.
So Zhao's rebels were the smallest, but more than 100,000. Although there was a slight threat, it caused a lot of damage to Zhao in the early stage.
But soon, the Zhao court sent 200,000 troops to quell the rebellion. In the battle with the rebels, many people who were confined by the rebels turned to the battlefield and dealt a fatal blow to the rebels.
Zhao Guo didn't have much effort to defeat these rebels, and only a few of them hid in the mountains and continued to resist.
