Chapter 201 Ying Zheng's Intimidation Tactics
In a major battle at Hangu Pass, all the five countries were greatly damaged, and the Qin State was naturally the one who made the most profit. Not only did it annihilate a large number of troops from the other side, but also asked several countries to cede land and pay compensation. It was unparalleled.
In addition, Qi State was also full of gratitude. Fortunately, it was not involved, otherwise it might have ended up miserable now.
Today, the only six Shandong countries have preserved more power, and even vaguely over the Chu and Zhao countries. Although they can't be the first, it seems to be quite good to be the second.
The five countries that had just ended did not participate much in the attack on Qin. They were a little itchy when they saw others fighting. Then they became a little excited and mobilized a large number of troops and were excited to find someone to fight.
However, its target was not Qin, but Yan State to the north.
Qi and Yan were also enemies, and they had been constantly in conflict since a hundred years ago. During the reign of King Xuan of Qi, Kuang Zhang was sent to lead his army, and it took only fifty days to capture Yan State. Even the King of Yan was killed and the regime was destroyed.
Later, King Zhao of Yan restored the Yan Kingdom and joined forces with Su Qin to create a drama of five countries attacking Qi, almost capturing Qi. It was also from that time that Qi Kingdom lost its hegemony.
Although many years have passed, the conflict between the two countries is still very fierce.
Now that Yan State has suffered heavy damage, isn’t it a good time to take action?
Therefore, after learning that the Yan army in the attack on Qin was almost wiped out, Qi State did not hesitate at all and directly ordered the general to lead an army of 200,000 to break into the Yan State.
King Yan was shocked. It was really raining all night long. Then he immediately held a court meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Then he quickly dispatched troops and sent 100,000 troops to stop the Qi army.
I just fought a defeated battle, and in addition to the necessary defense, 100,000 troops are already the limit that I can draw.
However, Yan State is not as powerful as Qi State, and now the gap between the two sides is naturally even bigger, and they are beaten and retreated continuously. They can only rely on the pass to temporarily resist.
King Xi of Yan quickly wanted to ask for help from other countries, but at this time other countries were closely alert to the movements of Qin, fearing that the other party would come over, so how could they have the time to do these things?
And just as the King of Yan was full of anxiety, a worse news came.
The Huns in northern border launched a large invasion, and the troops stationed on the border were almost unable to stop them!
Yan State is originally a weak country. There was no one in the 100,000 troops that had gone to Qin State before. Now the remaining troops have been transferred to resist Qi State, and there is no way to provide more troops to protect the border.
The Huns must have known about this, so they dared to invade so blatantly.
The situation is critical, and Yan State suffered two attacks and no reinforcements. If it is not handled properly, it is likely to be in crisis of destruction.
In this case, there is no better way, so I have to ask for peace from Qi, and as long as they can retreat, they will be willing to cede the land.
Qi also knew the predicament of Yan State, but did not take any action, but agreed to the other party's request.
Although the two countries have always been in disagreement, it is still a matter within the circle. If the aliens want to intervene, none of the seven countries will agree.
Even if I feel unhappy about Yan State, I cannot tolerate the occupation of the Jiuzhou land by the Huns.
This is also a hidden rule that various countries followed during the Warring States Period. Even if you can shoot yourself, you can't take advantage of it by outsiders.
Of course, if the righteousness is great, the benefits you should get must not be reduced. Since the other party takes the initiative to seek peace, Qi will naturally not be polite.
In the end, at the helpless end, Yan State ceded one-third of its land and asked Qi State to withdraw its troops.
Afterwards, all troops were immediately transferred to the northern border to resist the attack of the Huns.
However, this time the Huns came in full force, gathered many tribes, gathered 100,000 troops, and there were many cavalry among them, which was very powerful.
After many battles and long-distance raids in Yan State, the soldiers were exhausted, and the only ones could mobilize were about 100,000 soldiers.
In this case, the confrontation with the Huns was at a disadvantage...
At this moment, Ye Chen also followed Ying Zheng's frame to the capital of Qin, Xianyang.
The frame drove past the bustling street, and Ye Chen lifted the curtains and looked at the scene outside.
I saw pedestrians passing by on the road, with many stalls on both sides, and various shouts came. In addition, there were many inns and restaurants, so that passers-by could rest.
This is his first time in Xianyang, and the feeling here is somewhat different from that in other places.
Linzi and Sanghai, Qi State, are also prosperous and prosperous cities, but there is less special thing than Xianyang, that is, strict order.
In Xianyang City, both vendors on the street and pedestrians on the road are abiding by these rules. From time to time, soldiers are patrolling back and forth, maintaining their due discipline.
Although many people say that Qin State is severely punished and punished, in Ye Chen's opinion, as long as it is not done too much, the strictness of the law may not be a bad thing, especially in such a war era.
It is undeniable that during the rise of Qin, the people did bear great pressure, but even so, their living conditions were still better than those of the other six countries, at least more secure in terms of security.
At this moment, Ying Zheng, who was also sitting in the carriage, asked, "Mr. Ye is the first to come here, how do you feel?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Xianyang City is neat and orderly, and the people perform their own duties, which is really good."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Since the sir likes here, you must stay more time. I still have many things to ask in person."
"As long as the king doesn't think I'm annoying."
Ye Chen replied.
Ying Zheng laughed twice: "Mr. Ye is joking. It's too late to be happy if you want to stay. Also, I am older than you. If you don't mind, just call me brother."
Ye Chen did not refuse, and nodded and agreed.
Then he continued: "I heard that Han, Zhao and other countries have cedeed a lot of land recently, and now the territory of Qin has probably expanded a lot."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng snorted: "Since you dare to take the initiative to attack Qin, you will naturally have to pay the price. The cemetery of land is just the beginning."
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "If they are unwilling to cede land, will Brother Zheng really send troops to attack?"
Hearing the question, Ying Zheng's face moved, shook his head and said, "In the battle of Hangu Pass, the Qin Dynasty will be damaged a lot. If he is too anxious, maybe the five countries will join forces to fight to the death. It is not what I want to see.
