Chapter 531 The Situation of All Parties

The State of Chu once again assembled an army of 100,000, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy all of the original territory of the State of Tang.

The State of Zhao led an army of 200,000 and directly attacked Shangdang!
By the way, Shangdang was the key place that triggered the Battle of Changping. The State of Zhao was now preparing to fight to the death with the State of Qin.

After all, sending troops from Zhao to Tang requires passing through Wei. Not to mention the need to haggle with Wei for a long time, the long journey alone means that the soldiers will be late by the time they arrive.

The last time Zhao sent troops, they had just gotten halfway when they heard that Tang had won a great victory over the Qin-Chu coalition forces, so they had to retreat in disgrace!

So this time, after some thought, Zhao decided to cause trouble for Qin. Anyway, the two sides were mortal enemies, and Qin would not let Zhao have an easy time even if it did not cause trouble. It would be better to try while the Qin army was attacking Luoyang. Maybe there would be a surprise?
On the contrary, Wei State did not move this time. After all, Tang and Qin were fighting in Luoyang, which was only two hundred miles away from Wei State. Whoever defeated Wei State would definitely not be the winner's opponent, so it was better to just watch the show!

"Master, those who stayed in Xinzheng cannot be a match for the Chu State!"

After obtaining the information, Jingwei immediately found Li Qingyuan who was playing with the dog in the palace and reported to him.

Even though the Chu army was defeated in minutes last time, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Chu soldiers was only slightly worse than that of the Qin army. Moreover, because the Chu State implemented a feudal system similar to that of European aristocrats, that is, the monarch of my monarch is not my monarch, the nobles from all over the country have their own trump cards, which are never used on weekdays, resulting in the Chu State being slightly insufficient in attack. But if anyone dares to invade the Chu State, then just wait to be beaten!
This is also why, even though Qin had already destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, Chu still did not care. Even after Qin possessed most of the world, it still had to tread on thin ice when facing Chu. This was entirely determined by Chu's unique political structure.

"Isn't this normal?"

Li Qingyuan said nonchalantly while riding on the sun dog.

He originally thought that Yan Fei was a smart person and should know what to do to maximize her own interests.

But he didn't expect that the women of the Yin-Yang family were all so stubborn, so he had no choice but to deprive them of their human rights!
"Then Xinzheng won't care?"

Jingwei felt a little distressed. She was now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and was in charge of 5,000 troops. Except for 3,000 in Luoyang and its surrounding areas, the remaining 2,000 were mainly distributed near Xinzheng.

If Xinzheng was lost, she would lose at least one third of her power, and Jingwei could not accept such a loss.

There is no way, I was afraid of being poor before!

"You have to believe in Li Si's ability. Besides, his classmates should also be capable. It shouldn't be a problem for them to hold on for a few months!"

Li Si was originally qualified to be a prime minister of the ages. If he had not lost his integrity in his later years, he would definitely have become a legend in history. So even though that guy was more proficient in politics than command, Li Qingyuan felt that it should not be a problem for him to defend a city. After all, all the famous figures before the Song Dynasty were both civil and military. It can be said that being a general on horseback and a prime minister on foot is a basic operation, just like when you play the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, whether it is Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu or Lu Xun, which one of them is not a monster with all the stats almost maxed out?

Li Qingyuan said that he did not expect Li Si to be able to fight back, but if he was still captured by the Chu army in one wave even though he had sufficient troops, horses and food, then it would not be a pity for such a guy to die.

But after all, he still had too few talents at his disposal. Jingwei was already performing above average by being able to manage the Jinyiwei, and that old guy Xu Fu could only make elixirs. Apart from Li Si and Fan Yuqi, it was really difficult to find another talented person.

Originally, if these girls from the Yin-Yang family were willing to surrender, then he could still use them a little, but unfortunately, these women's willpower to resist was so strong that they were much more courageous than Xu Fu who directly knelt down and surrendered.

As for why someone with backbone would be turned into this state?
Cows can ignore the intense pain when they are whipped, but if you pull the nose ring, they will definitely follow you obediently!

All living things have weaknesses. Even with Li Qingyuan's current physique that is so strong that it can be called abnormal, he cannot say that he has no weaknesses, let alone these guardian elders of the Yin-Yang family?
It can only be said that human beings are absolutely extremely evil creatures. Since the beginning of the progress of human technological civilization, it seems that most of the time has been spent pursuing how to quickly kill or control their own kind. Compared to any other creature, humans are definitely the most vicious existence.

"Don't be anxious yet. If we talk about anxiety, the other side is much more anxious than us!"

Seeing Jingwei looking worried, Li Qingyuan spoke directly.

Compared with a certain Tang king who completely ignored the deaths and injuries of his own people, Wang Jian now can be said to be a little impatient.

When Qin conquered Chu, it sent out an army of 600,000. However, at that time, Qin had already occupied Han, Zhao and Wei. Although the rule of the three kingdoms was unstable, directly drafting all the able-bodied men into the army to prevent them from rebellion could at least help save some lives, right?
At present, the Qin State, which has not yet destroyed the Three Kingdoms, can only take out a maximum of 500,000 soldiers even if it squeezes the limit. He led an army of 300,000 to attack Luoyang, and the remaining 200,000 soldiers seemed to be the same number as the soldiers sent by the Zhao State. However, other parts of the Qin State still needed soldiers to stay behind for defense!

Not to mention the Qiang people and the barbarians in the northwest, even in the southeast bordering the State of Chu, if you don't have an army of 30,000 to 50,000 stationed there, it would be strange if the barbarians of Chu didn't come up to take a bite, given their character!
Therefore, the Qin State could only send 100,000 troops to Shangdang, led by Meng Wu, to resist the Zhao army.

Originally, the whole Qin State thought that with Meng Wu's ability, although the military strength was only half of that of Zhao State, there would be no problem at all if they just defended. In addition, the Qin army still had deterrence and suppression on the Zhao army, so they might be able to launch a counterattack.

But except for a certain king who was still playing with his pet in the palace, no one expected that Meng Wu would be defeated so quickly.

The 100,000-strong Qin army was defeated by the Zhao State like a dead tree or rotten wood. In just a few months, the Shangdang area fell into the hands of the Zhao State, and the entire area north of the Yellow River was renamed Zhao!

Now even Wang Jian, who was known for his steadiness, could no longer sit still. After all, war is mainly about logistics and supplies. The Zhao army is now pointing its spearhead towards the Yellow River. If he does not take action, it means he really has ulterior motives!
