Chapter 163 Attack on Korea
“Cruff!”
“Cruff!”
“Cruff!”
The heavy and tall city gate was slowly pushed open by more than twenty people, and Zhao Jia led the Tumen Fortress generals out of the city to greet him.
"I am Zhao Jia, and I have met the general."
"According to the agreement of the two countries' alliance letter, after the Qin army entered Zhao, all soldiers were commanded by General Zhao. General Jing Ji had the right to refuse to execute orders, but he did not have the right to mobilize troops."
"So from now on, we will start handing over the command of the 20,000 Qin army."
Such harsh conditions were originally very unfavorable to Qin State.
However, how could Zhao Jia and Zhao Yan feel at ease if they let 20,000 tiger and wolf Qin troops enter Zhao State?
Especially the Turkish Army Fortress is a western part of Shenqi. If Jing Ji is not allowed to hand over the command power, once the Qin army suddenly takes over the city, it will definitely be a disaster for Zhao State.
"So your Excellency is Mr. Kaiqi, Mr. Jia, and I am so kind."
"Since the handover of command is a matter of the king's decision, I will follow it myself. This is to mobilize the tiger talisman of 20,000 Qin troops, and I hope Prince Jia will accept it."
After Zhao Jia took the tiger talisman, Jing Ji said in a deep voice: "But the king has an order: If your country issues some orders that are not in line with the interests of the Qin army, I will have the right to refuse to accept the order."
Zhao Jia nodded and said with a smile: "Should you do this!"
Although the two countries have formed an alliance, they are always a little cautious about each other. Zhao State is worried that the 20,000 Qin troops will be out of control and will cause trouble in Zhao State, so they are so desperate to obtain the command of this Qin army.
Qin was also worried that Zhao would use 20,000 Qin troops as cannon fodder, which allowed Jing Ji to reserve the right to refuse to accept orders.
After 20,000 Qin troops entered the land of Shenqi, Zhao Jia asked Sima Shang to lead the troops in the land of Shenqi to accompany him, and directly escorted him to the northern border, handed over the command to Li Mu, and then returned.
This time, compared with the small and small fights in history, the State of Zhao was a big fight, sending a total of 100,000 troops. Commander Li Mu launched a large-scale eastward from the former land of Zhongshan and attacked the Dukang land south of Yan State.
Due to Zhao Jia's suggestion, Li Mu did not just conquer two cities like in history, but was preparing to seize more than ten cities south of the Dukang land of Yan State.
"Tait!"
The war horses galloped, the earth shook, and the flags flew.
Zhao Jia rode on the war horse and looked at Shangdang County, Zhao State in the south, with an extremely complicated expression.
Shangdang County is at the junction of Qin, Zhao, Wei and Han.
The four countries fought for the land of Shangdang for years. Even the Battle of Changping, which made Zhao's unforgettable forever, started because of Shangdang.
What’s ridiculous is that Zhao State paid such a heavy price but ultimately failed to get Shangdang.
After the disaster in South Korea spread eastward, he took advantage of the end of Qin and Zhao's battle, Zhao was crippled, and Qin's treasury was empty, and Shangdang was recaptured.
Over the years, although South Korea has been in the cracks, it is also versatile and maintains a fragile balance.
"I will fulfill my wish that the prince's father had not fulfilled back then."
Zhao Jia looked at the wealthy land of Shangdang in the distance, and felt a sense of prosperity.
If Zhao had not participated in this battle, Qin would have taken away Shangdang County, South Korea. Since this is the case, Zhao Jia simply took Shangdang himself.
As for how to choose, I still need to think about it carefully.
South Korea, Xinzheng, royal palace hall.
"Qin, Zhao alliance, Qin general Meng Ao led 100,000 troops to attack the Yewang, and Zhao Pingqi jun Zhao Jia led 30,000 troops to attack thousands of acres from Shenqi's land."
"Qin and Zhao are all countries of tigers and wolves. Do you have any good plans to defeat the enemy?"
King Han looked at the ministers in the hall with anxiety on his face, hoping to get an answer from them that would make him feel at ease.
"Wild King?"
When Korean court officials heard this place name, their faces changed slightly.
Over the years, due to the continuous erosion between Qin and Wei, the territory of South Korea has changed from north to south to a narrow territory, with Shangdang County in the north and Nanyang County in the south.
Today, South Korea only has two counties. Even so, many territories in the two counties are still occupied by other countries.
If Shangdang and Nanyang County were not very rich and the city and population density were astonishing, it would have been difficult for South Korea to support it long ago.
The Ye Wang is located at the junction of Shangdang County and Nanyang County.
If the Ye King was lost, Qin would cut off the ties between Shangdang County and South Korea, and Shangdang County would no longer be owned by Zhao State.
This means that South Korea may lose nearly half of its territory.
The most important thing is that South Korea is weak and cannot protect Qin. After Zhao gets Shangdang, he will not continue to go south to destroy South Korea.
Today, even if South Korea is alone, it is not an existence that South Korea can compete with if it is against Qin and Zhao.
This time, South Korea is likely to suffer a national destruction!
"With the national strength of Han, it is difficult to occupy Qin and Zhao. Now that Qin and Zhao alliances attack Han, Han may suffer the disaster of national destruction. If the king wants to protect South Korea, he must seek help from the rest of the country and unite to defeat Qin!"
But the King of Han shook his sleeves and said, "Have you ever thought about sending envoys to ask for help from other countries and join forces to attack Qin?"
"However, now Zhao State has joined forces with Qin, and the coalition forces attack Han, Yan, Yan is too busy to take care of themselves, Qi is in a corner, Chu and Pingqi Jun have a good relationship, Wei Xin is defeated with Qin, Zhao, and how can he send troops to rescue him?"
"The power of the Union and Zong has been broken. How can I unite the rest of the countries to fight against Qin!"
When all the Korean ministers heard this, they all looked at each other.
It was not until this time that they deeply understood how important the State of Zhao was to the Union Alliance.
When Zhao State was in the country, as long as any country was in danger of national destruction, the coalition army would easily be formed, and it was precisely for this to preserve South Korea.
But now, the Qin alliance between Zhao means that the Union of the Zong will be difficult to achieve since then. How can South Korea protect itself?
The reason why Qin spent so much effort to form an alliance with Zhao and even sent Jing Ji to lead troops to help Li Mu attack Yan was because he knew the importance of Zhao to the alliance alliance.
Without the core of the Tongzong Kingdom, the rest of the countries were just a mess, and Qin was easily defeated.
Seeing that the ministers were silent, it was obvious that they had not come up with any solution to the current situation, and the King of Han's face became even more anxious.
The Prime Minister Zhang Ping, who was Zhang Liang's father, suddenly remembered what the guest said before he left the house, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He took two steps forward and said, "King, if Han wants to join Zong, he must first join Zhao!"
When the King of Han saw Zhang Ping's speech, he seemed to have grabbed the last straw and asked hurriedly; "Qin, Zhao has already formed an alliance, and Zhao has sent troops to attack Shangdang, how could it be possible to form an alliance with South Korea?"
Zhang Ping said in a deep voice: "I often hear that the reason why Zhao joined Qin was because King Zhao was stupid and Zhao was blinded by Qin."
"Pingqi Jun Zhao Jia has the style of a young master Wuji, and is definitely not a short-sighted person. He can definitely see the threat of Qin to other countries."
"This time, Gongzi Jia led his troops to attack Qianmu, and was forced to do it under the pressure of Handan. He was forced to do it. He probably did not want to be an enemy of South Korea."
"Whether the king can join forces with Zhao to attack Qin fell on Gongzi Jia."
When King Han heard this, his eyes lit up. He said excitedly: "I heard that Prince Jia's wife is the eldest princess of Chu, and the prime minister of Qi Zhou Zi also had a close relationship with Prince Jia."
"If Prince Jia can lead the affairs of the coalition, no country dares not to follow!"
But soon, King Han said in a dilemma: "After that being said, King Zhao has the final say in Zhao State. Since King Zhao is determined to join Qin, even if Prince Jia is unwilling to do so, he may not be able to change King Zhao's intentions!"
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Ping's face.
"Does the king think that the situation of Qin's attack on Han today is somewhat similar to that of the past?"
King Han just hesitated for a moment and suddenly realized.
In order to seize Shangdang, Qin took the lead in attacking the jungle king and cut off the connection between Shangdang and Nanyang.
As Shangdang was about to be captured by Qin, even the King of Han ordered Feng Ting, the prefect of Shangdang in South Korea, to offer Shangdang to Qin, in order to demand that Qin stop the army.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ting, the prefect of Shangdang, ignored the orders of King Han and instead presented Shangdang to the Zhao State in the north.
The Zhao State's soldiers were given the fertile land of Shangdang without bloodshed, but it completely annoyed the Qin State, and then the Battle of Changping broke out.
Feng Ting's move not only allowed South Korea to be safe in the cracks, but also regained Shangdang after the war, and was a big winner in life.
The King of Han asked hesitantly: "Does the Prime Minister want me to offer Shangdang to Zhao State in order to stop the army?"
Zhang Ping shook his head and said, "It's not dedicated to Zhao State, but to Gongzi Jiaye!"
ps: I recommend this historical novel - "I Have a Country".
He traveled through time and became the poorest king. The palace was actually three small earthen houses, the fence walls of the palace were less than half a person tall, and the queen was wearing patched clothes. Let's see how he turned the world around and became an emperor.
