Chapter 90 Sealed Fifteen Cities
But Zhao Jia conquered Qin and plundered fifteen cities in the north.
Qin finally reacted and hurriedly summoned troops to garrison Yu Shengshui West Bank, which prevented Zhao Jia from continuing to occupy Qin's territory.
Zhao took the fifteen cities of Qin for his own possession, and let the rest of the countries have their own thoughts.
The Hezong army was at this time at the foot of Hangu Pass. The vast and fertile land of Qin, east of Hangu Pass, was exposed to the military fronts of various countries.
With the first person like Zhao State who dared to take the lead, Chu State was not willing to be lonely, and ordered the general Xiang Yan to go west to Yunmengze, and then withdraw his troops.
The King of Han sent troops to occupy Yangcheng, carry the millet, and took back the two lost lands in the 51st year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and also paid tribute to the 40,000 Han troops who died there.
Wei Wuji naturally did not want to be outdone, so he made an appointment with Chu and Han countries, divided Qin to the east of Tuanshui, and a total of 15 cities. Qin State lost half of Nanyang County again.
Occupying this important land, when Wei State faced the Qin State's attack in the future, it not only had turbulent water as a natural barrier, but also could rely on the Great Wall to defend.
In order to resist the Qin invasion, Chu State built a Great Wall of more than 100 miles in the central part of Nanyang County.
Unfortunately, the Great Wall failed to block the Qin army, and Nanyang County was finally obtained by Qin.
Obtaining the Qin State in Nanyang County was like punching into the heart of Chu, Wei and Han, which made the Three Kingdoms panic all day long.
The State of Chu was fine. After losing a large area of land, it could still rely on the Huai River to defend against the State of Qin.
Wei and Han had no danger to defend, so they could only build the Great Wall at the junction with Qin. In the end, the Great Wall built by the two countries was connected together, and the Great Wall built by Chu that year formed a slanted word "大" on the map.
Today, the Three Kingdoms divided most of Nanyang County, not only crushed the fists of Qin that were bombed into their hearts, but also recaptured all the Great Wall that had been built.
With this land, the Three Kingdoms will not be so passive when facing Qin in the future.
The reason why the three kingdoms jointly divided the land was because they were worried that Qin would take revenge after the war. The three kingdoms would divide a piece of land together and then they would reach an offensive and defensive alliance in the future. Qin might not dare to send troops to regain the lost land easily.
In this battle, the territory of Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han expanded.
Even the State of Qi, which was not bordering Qin, also obtained two cities ceded by Zhao and gained tangible benefits.
Only Yan State not only exchanged the important land that guarded the capital to Zhao State, but was also brought to attack Qin together, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources in vain, but did not obtain much benefit at all.
Therefore, Yan State was the first to complain, unwilling to continue confronting the Qin army in front of Hangu Pass, and intending to withdraw its troops.
Qi followed closely behind and was unwilling to do its own efforts, but watched the other countries gain benefits and had the intention to withdraw their troops.
In addition, the labor force of various countries went on an expedition, which consumed too much food and grass, and it was difficult to break the Hangu Pass of Qin, so in the end they had to retreat one after another.
This vigorous alliance ended with the death of more than 60,000 Qin troops and the various countries occupied hundreds of miles of Qin territory.
Zhao State, Handan, the palace hall.
Since Lian Po defeated the Yan army, Zhao State has been full of happy events.
Especially this time, Zhao Jia first forced Yan State to exchange the capital barrier to Zhao State, and then the six countries joined forces to defeat the Qin army.
The most important thing is that Zhao Jia took advantage of the Qin Dynasty's efforts to defend the army and raided the northern part of Qin with 20,000 cavalry, and expanded hundreds of miles.
Since the great defeat of Changping, Zhao State had no courage to resist when facing Qin State, and could only bow down and hope to be friendly with Qin State.
This attitude is also a helpless act of a weak country. In fact, all the people of Zhao are hiding anger and hatred in their hearts.
Zhao Jia's actions of seizing hundreds of miles of Qin could undoubtedly greatly boost the Zhao people's hearts.
The continuous good news actually improved Zhao King Zhao Dan's health and began to re-administer the government.
"Yan, you have given birth to a good son."
"Since Jiaer began to participate in the government affairs, our Zhao State first exceeded 600,000 invading Yan army and restored the prestige of our Zhao State."
"Not long ago, Jiaer used his wisdom to lobby Qin State to abandon Zhao and attack Wei, which led to the six countries attacking Qin."
"The move to change the city with Yan State was to insert a sharp knife into the heart of Yan State, exposing the capital of Yan State to the attack of our Zhao State from then on. How dare the King of Yan face our Zhao State again!"
"Now Jiaer has seized hundreds of miles of Qin, and we have great power to strengthen our Zhao Kingdom. I feel so sorry for you!"
As King Zhao spoke, he couldn't help laughing, his joy was beyond words.
The more Zhao Yan heard, the more gloomy his face became.
It was not until this time that Zhao Yan suddenly woke up that Zhao Jia played an extremely important role in all the major events that were enough to change the fate of Zhao in these years.
Even King Zhao admired Zhao Jia so much and praised him continuously, let alone the people of Zhao.
"As the prince, how can I tolerate being stolen by others!"
Zhao Yan's eyes were a little slight.
Although Zhao Jia is his own son, Zhao Yan has not treated Zhao Jia well over the years and has even suppressed him everywhere.
If Zhao Yan was a hundred years later, he naturally hoped that Zhao Jia would be as good as possible, so that he could lead Zhao to prosperity.
But now, Zhao Yan is still just the crown prince.
If Zhao Jia is too outstanding and has received support from King Zhao, court officials and the people of Zhao, it is still unpredictable who will inherit the throne from the future.
After waiting for so many years, how could Zhao Yan watch his own throne be threatened by others?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan suddenly stepped forward and said, "This time, the elite troops of the six countries cannot be severely damaged by Qin. Now that the army of the Union Army has withdrawn, it will take Qin a short time to restore its national strength."
"At this time, Jiaer occupied hundreds of miles of Qin, which certainly made the people excited, what if Qin State in the future raises troops to seize the land and even vents its anger on Zhao State?"
"Does your father think that with our country's national strength, we can block the powerful Qin State?"
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, the court suddenly became silent.
Although Zhao Jia's actions of seizing Qin for hundreds of miles was indeed exciting, it was just that Qin's strength had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Zhao people were as afraid as the Qin people had.
Looking at the current situation, no country can withstand boundless anger from Qin.
"Do you want me to return the Qin territory I have seized to Qin!"
King Zhao was obviously a little unhappy when Zhao Yan swept away his interest.
The King of Zhao knew that Qin was so powerful, but as Zhao Jia said before asking for a fight, Zhao gave in today. Will Qin no longer covet Zhao territory?
Obviously impossible!
If Zhao wants to not be afraid of Qin, he can only strengthen himself while constantly weakening Qin. If he blindly weakens and concessions, it will only make Qin stronger and stronger.
Zhao Yan felt the dissatisfaction in Zhao Dan's heart and hurriedly said, "My son did not have this intention."
Zhao Jia's actions of seizing hundreds of miles of Qin were inspiring. If he returned the occupied land to Qin at this time, he would definitely be scolded by the Zhao people. Even if Zhao Yan was the crown prince, he would not dare to do such a big deal.
"Then what do you think!"
Zhao Yan hurriedly said, "Father, you might as well give all the fifteen Qin cities seized to Jiaer as fiefs."
"If Qin asks for those cities in the future, in order to avoid angering Qin, we can make an excuse to say that the fiefdom belongs to Jiaer, and it is inconvenient to return it."
"If Qin sent troops to seize the land, Jiaer could defend those cities, and Qin would naturally belong to our Zhao."
"If Jiaer can't defend those Qin areas, we can also separate our ties and will not be angry with Qin."
Fencing often represents private territory.
Although Zhao Yan's words did not make it clear, the King of Zhao and the ministers in the court all understood Zhao Yan's plans.
Zhao Yan did this completely in order to push Zhao Jia out as a chess piece.
If the Qin territory could be preserved, it would be easy to say. If Qin insisted on sending troops to seize it, Zhao could shirk responsibility, saying that Zhao Jia sent troops privately in order to obtain his own fiefdom.
Although this is a bit unauthentic, it can also give Zhao a little room for maneuver when facing Qin in the future.
