The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 323 Reactions from Various Countries
In the present Zhao State, King Zhao Daoxiang had no time to regret. He hurriedly mobilized the people of the country and summoned soldiers to prepare for complete defense. He did not dare to be careless at all and was ready to fight to the death.

Li Mu had also been urgently recruited to lead the army south.

He was really afraid that the invincible Qin army would attack Zhao. Although the Qin army had stopped temporarily, if they rested and pursued the victory, vowing to retaliate against Zhao, then Zhao would be unstoppable.

As for the State of Wei, its losses were already severe enough, and the Qin army crushed it along the way without stopping until it had completely achieved its strategic goal.

King Jingmin of Wei finally managed to steady himself, and was so frightened that all the people in the country were mobilized to guard the border. But they only had the will to defend, and as for the will to fight back, they had completely lost it.

In the State of Chu, King Kaolie of Chu is the one who regrets the most now. He lost his wife and his soldiers, which is the true portrayal of King Kaolie of Chu now.

This time, the State of Chu lost both its face and its dignity.

Apart from not getting any benefits and getting a lot of disadvantages, there is nothing else.

Faced with the current power of the Qin State, King Kaolie of Chu can only say that he regrets the breakdown of relations between the two countries, and is now trying to find ways to mend the rift between the two countries.

And, moving the capital.

For more than thirty years, Qin and Chu have always been on good terms, and the two countries have been intermarrying for generations. This is because Qin did not want to make enemies on many sides and adopted the strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones.

And there were also geographical reasons. With Han and Wei blocking in front, it was indeed inconvenient for Qin to bypass them to attack Chu. But this time, Chu completely offended Qin, and in recent years, all the strategic locations of Wei, Zhao and Han were seized by Qin.

Now it is suitable for Qin to attack Chu's front line, which is less than 200 miles away from Chu's capital. It can be reached in two or three days, if not in one day.

Now that he has completely offended the State of Qin and is completely hated by the King of Qin, how can King Kaolie of Chu still sleep under such circumstances?
I'm really afraid that one day when I wake up, the Qin army will be at the gates of the city.

Under the current situation, the State of Chu can only plan and find ways to conquer the three states of Wei, Han and Qi.

It would be inappropriate to establish the capital of Chu in Chen.

Moreover, the original establishment of the capital in Chen was just a temporary measure.

The Chu people still hoped to take back their homeland and return to their hometown.

However, given the current power of the Qin State, it is really unlikely to return to the homeland.

Now, the only option is to move the capital.

Of course, moving the capital is a major event involving a wide range of issues, and it certainly cannot be proposed by King Kaolie of Chu. It so happened that Chunshen Jun's attack on Qin was unsuccessful and suffered heavy losses, so it was time for him to speak out.

Chunshen Jun cooperated very well and proposed moving the capital to Shouchun.

The State of Chu had been deeply rooted in Shouchun for many years and had made preparations in advance.

Shouchun has a unique geographical location. It is adjacent to the Fei River in the east, the Dabie Mountains in the west, the Shaobi River in the south, and the Huai River in the north, forming a natural barrier that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is indeed a strategic location. Moreover, it is far enough away from the Qin State, so at least there is no need to worry that the Qin State can easily attack its doorstep.

Moreover, the land around Shouchun is fertile and suitable for farming. At the same time, Shouchun is located on a major transportation route, making it convenient for trade.

Secondly, Shouchun is already closer to the land of Wu and Yue. When the State of Chu shifts its focus to the east, it can also more effectively help the King of Chu to truly control the overall situation of the State of Chu and enhance Wu and Yue's control over the south of the Yangtze River.

After this battle, King Kaolie of Chu had a deep hatred for the royal family and aristocracy of the entire Chu State. He could take this opportunity to move the capital and make some adjustments.

Of course, Chunshen Jun has to bear such a big blame temporarily.

After King Kaolie of Chu agreed to move the capital, he temporarily sent Chunshen Jun back to his fiefdom in order to allay the resentment of many nobles.

But this is only temporary. Once the capital is relocated and stable, we can find an opportunity or an excuse to transfer them back soon.

Chunshen Jun also understood it, he had no choice but to understand. The happiest country was naturally Yan State. Seeing that everyone was in trouble, Yan State just came out for a stroll and basically suffered no losses, King Xi of Yan was so happy.

Now we are preparing to send envoys to Qin to discuss the alliance of Lianheng.

If we defect now, we will be easily retaliated against, but we can prepare for the alliance first and then fight Zhao together next year.

King Xi of Yan believed that Qin must be eager to attack Zhao now.

As for the State of South Korea, King Huanhui of Han was very dissatisfied with Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei's easy withdrawal of troops.

Even if they returned to protect South Korea and provide assistance, how could an army of 100,000 be able to retreat so easily?

However, King Huanhui of Han soon saw the coalition forces collapse and each side suffered heavy losses, especially Wei and Zhao, which not only suffered heavy casualties among their soldiers, but also lost cities and territories.

The most feared thing in the world is comparison. After making such a comparison, King Huanhui of Han immediately said that Ji Wuye was right!

Everyone is losing money except us, so it is equivalent to making a profit.

It’s not that General Ji didn’t work hard, it’s just that the Qin army was too strong.

Looking at the outcomes of various countries, General Ji has really done well enough.

Not only can there be no punishment, but there must also be heavy rewards.

Looking at this chaos, Ji Wuye sighed sincerely, it is really the choice that is most important!
What's the point of being able to fight? Look at the fate of various countries.

If you can't win, isn't it okay to just not fight?
The strange reaction made Ji Wuye make up his mind.

It is impossible to fight against the State of Qin, and it will never be possible.

However, although the South Korean army has not suffered any losses, this does not mean that there will be no problems in the future.

There are still many more real headaches to come.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Ji Wuye. It is King Huanhui of Han who needs to worry about it.

King Huanhui of Han is an old fox. Although he does not have great wisdom or ability, he still has some tricks and can be clever.

Just like now he has already prepared a way out for his son, Crown Prince An.

Since last year, King Huanhui of Han's health has been deteriorating, and he has been bedridden for a long time this year. However, even so, he did not let Crown Prince An participate in the coalition attack on Qin, but took full responsibility himself in order to prepare for the aftermath.

Now, as long as I die and Prince An succeeds to the throne, as long as I serve Qin respectfully, I can always delay it for a while.

After all, the country that offended Qin the most this time was not Han, but Chu and Zhao.

More importantly, King Huanhui of Han saw very clearly that now was not the time for Qin to start a war of annihilation. As long as Han was respectful to Qin, Qin would never be determined to destroy Han.

Now the countries that have been frightened are like frightened birds, and Qin will never force them too much. If it really forces the countries to unite completely, Qin will not be in a good situation.

Now, all we have to do is cede a few more cities to temporarily appease the Qin State.

Things have come to this point and there is nothing we can do. We can only delay it for one day.

As long as we can hold on, maybe there will be a turning point!
