The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 338: Involvement of Qi Guo
Eighth year of Emperor Yuan, early March.
At this time, all countries in the world have just organized domestic civilians to cultivate this year's seedlings, and then just vacated their hands to liberate the careerists who have enough labor force to start a new round of wild aspirations.
One year has passed, and after these periods of recuperation, the countries that had fought have slowly recovered their vitality, and the domestic food and grass have once again been sufficient, with the strength, and once again launched a new round of attacks.
And having these time preparations is enough for them to carry out all kinds of co-operation, conspiracy and rebellion.
First of all, Wei Guo, located in the center of the world, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, started his first move.
Wei Guo is located in the center of the world, and his every move is full of attention. So he just started to move a bit, and the news quickly spread to various countries, arousing speculation by those interested.
Wei State sent 150,000 elite and strong troops, and only 100,000 ordinary soldiers remained in the country to guard. It can be said that in addition to basic defense, all forces were used.
And this terrifying movement of the army suddenly pointed towards Tao Guo, who had a profound contradiction with Wei Guo next to him.
Tao Guo was frightened, and 70,000 soldiers and horses all over the country drove to the frontier, stationed in the three major cities built this year.
These three great cities are the achievements of Tao Guo in the past year.
Tao Guo knows that between himself and Wei Guo, either you die or I live, the war will never stop before either side falls first.
The situation is obvious. Tao Guo, whose strength and national strength is far inferior to that of Wei State, is the first to fall, and there are almost no exceptions.
In order to continue his life and preserve his design, Tao Guo had to build these three great cities, ignoring the fact that his country is already full of grief and urgently needs cultivation.
The results are obvious.
The construction of the three great cities was finally completed before Wei Guo attacked, despite the fact that Tao Guo did not care about it and squeezed its national strength.
This made Tao Guo relieved.
With these three big cities, Tao Guo can persist for a long time under the attack of Wei Guo.
For such a period of time, whether it is delaying Wei Guo's footsteps, slowly exhausting his food and retreating, or something happens in the rear, it is excellent.
Or stick to the time and wait for the support of the ally of Qi in the rear, which is also a life-and-death time to save your life.
Today, Tao Guo is stationed in three big cities. As a result, Tao’s borders were immediately stabilized, the domestic turmoil also subsided, and tranquility was restored.
And after Tao Guo entered the station, he soon asked Qi Guo for help.
They knew well that even with these three heavy cities, with the strength of Tao Guo's soldiers, it would be difficult to resist the Wei army, who had more than twice the number of Tao's army.
"You must have foreign aid to preserve Tao Guo." This is the consensus of Tao Guo and everyone, and it is also the truth they firmly believe in.
So, after Wei's 150,000 army attacked for half a month, Qi, who heard Tao's request for help from the rear, quickly mobilized the army and rushed to the front line to help Tao resist the Wei army.
The reason why Qi Guo moved so quickly was that he wanted to keep an ally, so that he would not fall into the situation of fighting alone.
There is another very important reason.
That is, Tao Guo is located in the west of Qi State, which helped him to stop the pressure from Korea and Wei.
As long as Tao country exists, then Wei and South Korea, who want to attack Qi from the west, must first pull out the nail of Tao country, otherwise their abdomen will always be threatened by Tao country.
So Tao’s geographical location, under the situation of the world, coupled with his and Wei’s innate factors, naturally determines that Tao is a firm ally of Qi, and it is impossible to betray. .
In addition, Tao Guo's strength is far inferior to Qi Guo, so he can only act as Qi's little brother and follow him to wave the flag and shout.
So for Qi Guo, this kind of little brother who is both loyal to him and able to fight hard is not willing to throw it away.
Therefore, when Qi's 100,000 elites rushed to the battlefield where Tao's front line was fighting against Wei, the strength of Tao Qi's coalition army and the Wei army was balanced again, and it was difficult to distinguish the outcome.
After half a month of fighting, Tao Guo originally had 70,000 soldiers and horses, but only 40,000 remained, which was nearly half damaged.
Similarly, Wei Guo's situation is not very comfortable.
Because it is the siege party, there is a natural disadvantage, so even if the Wei Jun is elite, it still suffers a lot. After a few days, the 150,000 Wei Jun was left with only 120,000. There were 30,000 casualties and heavy losses.
So, because of casualties, both sides need to recuperate and slowly restore morale and combat strength.
The battlefield was once again caught in a long and peaceful confrontation, just like last year.
In the hearts of Qi and Tao, they both believed that this time must be the same as last year. No one can do anything about it. Gradually, the food is not enough, and both sides retreat. Not only Tao and Qi, but also the people of the world think so~IndoMTL.com~ However, just after the Qi army arrived on the battlefield in January, the war did not break out. As they expected, they fell into a strange calm.
The war on the border between Tao and Wei did not break out, but a more terrifying war broke out in Qi.
This war is too sudden and too unpredictable. So that everyone in the world did not expect it, and everyone was shocked.
The State of Zhao in the north of the Wei State, borrowed from the State of Wei, and sent 200,000 troops to attack the territory of Qi State.
Zhao's pioneer, 50,000 cavalry, one man and two horses, went south, and before the news of the army's dispatch spread, he quickly rushed to County Xue in Qi State. Before the defenders of Xue County could react, they had Lien Zhan's victory and attacked the entire territory of Xue County with the advantage of an assault battle.
The main reason why Xue Jun’s defenders went so smoothly was that they were too lax!
Xue Jun is located at the rear of Tao State. The soldiers and horses of Tao and Qi's coalition forces in front are resisting this Wei State and restraining all the troops that Wei State can mobilize.
Although the Kingdom of Chu in the southern part of County Xue is bordered by County Xue, the Kingdom of Chu is now in full swing with the Kingdom of Yue. I heard that it is now mobilizing troops and planning to launch another war with the Kingdom of Yue. What energy is used to provoke Qi in the north!
Isn’t he afraid of Qi State mobilizing troops and turning to attack Chu State and attack him on both sides of Yue State?
So the possibility of Chu State attacking Jun Xue was directly rejected by Qi State.
On the other side of Jun Xue, is Langya County of Qi State. Your own country is located, and it is even less likely that there will be any enemies.
So Xue Jun's mentality of the upper and lower guards is very relaxed and comfortable, and he can't feel any temporary atmosphere at all.
Under this kind of lax precaution, Zhao Guo carefully prepared for a long time, and under the planned raid, it was not too surprising to take the whole county in one fell swoop.
