The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 341: On Wuwei

The 9th year of Emperor Yuan, February.

The situation in the world is intricate and complex, often like flowers, coming from people's eyes one after another, but it is fleeting and difficult to follow.

But now, after the melee of various countries last year, the situation has finally come to an end, and the situation has gradually become clear.

Qi Kingdom went through a lot of twists and turns, King Qi fled to Jiaodong County, the court was in a panic, and King Qi suffered a great loss of majesty.

However, the power of the tiger's death is still there, not to mention the fierce tiger King Qi is not dead yet, so with his past majesty, he can still suppress the impetuous human nature of Jiaodong County.

Immediately after using Jiaodong County as a springboard, after pacifying the aid, after a **** battle, only 50,000 elite troops remained. With this army and some soldiers and horses from Jiaodong County, they regained control of the remaining three counties of Qi State, and the momentum recovered slightly.

However, the population of the remaining three counties of Qi is declining, with only about one million left. This is because Zhao Jun came to Qi not long ago and was evacuated due to war in the rear, otherwise the population will decline even more. .

Also, there are only 150,000 soldiers and horses left in Qi State, of which only 50,000 are elite, making it a small country of the lowest rank.

And Tao Guo in the east of Qi State, after losing Qi State’s aid, no longer has any support, facing the army of Wei State, it can no longer support it.

However, he didn't disappear all at once, but lasted for a long time. It was not until the end of the year that he was wiped out by Wei Jun two months ago.

The reason is that Wei Guo was frightened by the experience of Qi, Zhao, and Qin before, for fear that when he mobilized his army to attack Tao, others would suddenly come behind him. It's no fun.

So Wei's offensive was suspended, and the soldiers and horses were on standby at any time, ready to return immediately.

However, after waiting for a long time, and after three or four months, there was no movement. Wei Guo was a little relieved, and the offensive that had been suspended became fierce again.

As a result, due to the previous turmoil, Tao Guo, who had just settled down and thought he had escaped again. Under Wei's storm-like attack, it persisted but was destroyed in January, completely proclaiming that this small country with only two years of establishment and a territory of no more than one county ended its history with a very short lifespan.

Wei also retracted its eastern barrier, so that he had no worries about his rear, avoiding the danger of being attacked directly under the city.

However, after this battle, Wei's national power has been consumed a lot. Even with the population of Tao County, the strength is slightly increased, but it is far worse than before the war.

Although the population of Wei is still around two million, his military strength is only 200,000, of which only 100,000 elites, and his strength is greatly compromised. But the power still remains at the level of a second-rate power.

After the reinforcements returned, the State of Zhao, although he held the Taihang Mountain, blocked the State of Qin to the west of the Taihang Mountain. Coupled with the civil strife in the rear of Qin, the offensive of the Qin army on the opposite side was not very violent.

In the past few months, there have been no major changes, and the current division of the site has basically been maintained.

However, after Zhao lost the land of three counties in Shangdang County, Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, the population of the site was greatly reduced. Today there are only four counties, and the population is only about 1.2 million. Among them, the army is still 200,000, and the elite is about 150,000. It is still a second-rate power.

Let’s talk about Qin State. After acquiring the three counties of Zhao State, apart from leaving some soldiers and horses to garrison, to guard against Zhao State’s counterattack. The rest of the army was all transferred back to Guanzhong to quell Liu Bang and the others' misfortune.

Liu Bangyun's army in the two places combined can only be 50,000 people. It was able to wreak havoc for a while, and once caused panic in Guanzhong. It was just picking up the weak defense of the army in Guanzhong.

Now that the army is returning to help, they immediately lost their arrogant capital, and they died down one after another.

But when they left, they didn't do anything to Qin. They were burned, killed and looted everywhere in Qin, leaving a piece of ruins and corpses.

After their tossing, Longxi County and Shang County were completely abolished, and more than half of the county’s population was lost, and their vitality was greatly injured.

Longxi County and Shangjun are regarded as the old sites of the Qin State, and they have been incorporated into the Qin State for hundreds of years. Especially in Longxi County, the people of Qin originated and grew up here, where dozens of generations of monarchs of Qin are buried, which can be described as the foundation of the ancestors.

Although the capital of Qin Kingdom moved eastward and gradually left Longxi County, it was the old capital after all, and the tombs of the ancestors were still buried there. Therefore, the State of Qin attaches great importance to the development there, and regards it as an important base for training Qin's cavalry.

Therefore, Longxi County has a very rich population, with a population of 600,000. Being so ravaged by Liu Bang, it lost nearly 400,000, and it hurt a lot. ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Shang County has a large population of around 400,000. Under the scourge of the various countries in the cloud, the population has also lost 200,000, and it has almost fallen into ruins.

The population of the three counties that Qin regained from Zhao Guoxin was about 800,000. However, Qin State did the job of slaughtering the city and genocide there, which is no different from what Liu Bang and others did, so the population loss of these three counties is also a lot.

At the end, when Qin and Zhao stopped fighting, the total population of the three counties was only about 300,000. It can be said that there are no chickens in a thousand miles, and a hundred miles without people, and extremely desolate.

Because of the war, the original prosperous and prosperous place has become a ruin.

Although the countries in the cloud and the Liang country where Liu Bang is retreated, Qin did not let them go.

Instead, they divided their troops into two groups, each with nearly 200,000 troops attacking, as if Mount Tai was overwhelming, a posture vowing to destroy him.

The two forces were panicking, and they turned to the big brother Yuguo behind them for help.

It's just that, the actions of these two people are not Yuguo's instructions. They have caused trouble by themselves, but they want to find their boss. Why didn't they think of the boss when they got rich? So Yuguo directly refused.

My request was rejected, and both sides were extremely desperate. The intention of surrendering to Qin State, but it was too ruthless in Qin State, leaving no room for it, but now it is impossible to surrender.

So I had no choice but to gritted my teeth and fought back.

All the forces that can be recruited in the country are recruited, down to the wailing children waiting to be fed, up to the gray-haired old man, and those strong and healthy women. They are all recruited into the army as their army to resist. Qin State.

Such a squeeze will allow both sides to have eighty to ninety thousand, or four to fifty thousand troops.

The momentum is not small, but just how much moisture is in it, that can only be known in their own hearts.
