A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 240 No one can stop Qin Rendong from leaving!Huaiguo: Hehe
In Jinling City, Wang Kan sat under a tree to play chess with others. Not long ago, the dark guard sent back the news of the Central Plains War, which surprised everyone.

At that time, everyone felt that the result would be that both Wei and Qi would lose, and Wei would win or Qi would win.But when the news came that Qi State had won a great victory and Wei State was almost wiped out, the entire Huai State was also shocked.

The State of Wei is not weak. If the 20 soldiers of Wei in the whole country were to fight against the State of Huai, the State of Huai would have to pay tens of thousands of casualties in order to win.Qi State was able to encircle and annihilate Wei State's [-] Wei soldiers with such weak casualties this time.

This made Wang Kan, who originally wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in the countries and go north to reap benefits, became hesitant.For a long time, the countries of Bang and Zhou have been very wary of the Huai country. Once the national power of the Huai country goes northward, it cannot be resisted by relying on one country alone. Only the alliance of multiple countries can do it.

Originally, Wang Kan planned to take advantage of the heavy losses of the Central Plains countries to go north, but the victory of Qi State made him hesitate a little. The general situation of the world is like a mess, and the whole body is affected by it, and he is like a pawn in it.

So Wang Kan sighed softly and said: "All living beings in this world are like chess pieces on this chessboard. Those who can be famous in history are some larger chess pieces, and even some princes are nothing more than chess pieces." It's just a pawn."

"Who can really master himself? Most people are just fish in this great river. Why worry about the king, the world is so big, Huai is also one of the chess players." The person playing chess with him is Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi was unwilling to be an official, so Wang Kan let him serve as a scholar in the academy, let him read the classics in the academy and the storage room, and at the same time recorded the articles he wrote, and added Zhuangzi to the list of scholars. Among the hundreds of families.

During this period of time, Zhuangzi debated with scholars of other schools in the academy, and left many wonderful articles.

The news of Qi State's victory over Wei State surprised everyone.After Qin Guo received the news of Wei Guo's defeat, he immediately dispatched a large army and once again invaded the land of Hexi.

This time, Qin State was full of confidence. After leaving heavy defenses in Shu and Mei County, the 20 Qin army went east again.In fact, after receiving the news of the annihilation of Wei's entire army, Qin was also very surprised.

Wei State fell into an ambush and was surrounded by Qi State, but the casualties of Qi State were far lower than that of Wei State.This matter made Qin Guo a little uncomfortable.

Originally, Qin State wanted both Qi State and Wei State to suffer losses, and he would benefit from it, but the current situation is that Qi State has won a big victory, and because of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, the relationship between Qin State and Qi State is not good. not so good.

South Korea was excited to gain and lose ground, while Wei State was defeated all the way. On the one hand, it summoned a large army to stop Qi State by relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers, and on the other hand, it sent envoys to Qi State to seek peace.

Zhao Guo and Yan Guo were also frightened.They sent envoys to the state of Qi to congratulate them.

Qin State took advantage of Wei State's defeat and launched a massive attack. This time, no other country came to save Wei State.In the war with Qi State, the [-] Wei army was wiped out. At this time, there were only more than [-] Wei soldiers left in the entire Wei State.

How can more than 20 Wei soldiers stop Qin's [-] troops.In addition, Pang Juan also died in the valley, and Wei Guo no longer had a general to command the army to fight for the front.

Qin's 20 troops invaded the land of Hexi like a tide, one city after another was breached, and Wei's soldiers were also defeated.

The successive defeats demoralized Wei State, and Qin State quickly occupied a large amount of land and captured Anyi again.Seeing this situation, King Wei had no choice but to send an envoy to seek peace with the Marquis of Qin, agreeing to cede most of the land in Hexi.

Gongsun Yang helped Qin to take back a large area of ​​Xihe land. Qin Hou was very happy, so he awarded the land of Shang to Gongsun Yang, so Gongsun Yang was also called Shang Yang.

After capturing most of the land in Hexi, Qin State gained a large area of ​​arable land and population, while Wei State lost most of the land in Hexi, and its national power was greatly reduced.Coupled with successive defeats, Wei's strength has fallen to the bottom.

At the same time, Gongsun Yan, who was originally a minister in the state of Wei, resigned directly and left for the state of Qin.Gongsun Yan received a reward for his envoy to the Western Chu Kingdom, but since then, he has offered several strategies, but they have not been recognized by the King of Wei and cannot be reused. In addition, he thinks that the reward from the King of Wei was unfair.

Therefore, after seeing the defeat of Wei State, the loss of the land of Hexi, and almost no hope of rising, he directly resigned from his official position and went to Qin State.

Qin Hou attached great importance to Gongsun Yan's contribution, and after examining him, he appointed him as a general.

After Qin State took away most of the land in Hexi, it began to eye Hangu Pass.At this time, Wei State has no strength to stop Qin State at all, and the same is true for South Korea.At this time, it can be said that Qin State has the best opportunity to seize Hangu Pass.

Since the establishment of Hangu Pass in the period of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was originally used to block Rong Di, and after the fall of Rong Di and the rise of Qin State, it became an important place to prevent Qin State from going east.

For more than 300 years, the people of Qin and the state of Jin have competed for Hangu Pass dozens of times without success, but this time, the people of Qin are finally going to master this great pass.

After experiencing the chaos between the two kings, South Korea's national strength was weakened, and it did not dare to confront Qin at all. Han Wangzhao even surrendered to Huai State in order to gain the support of Huai State, but after he was firmly seated as the King of Han, he wanted to To get rid of the influence of the Huai country, or to balance the influence of the Huai country, so instead of asking for help from the Huai country, they asked for help from the Qi country.

In fact, South Korea has been reduced to a small country in the vassal struggle for hegemony. Now Huai State and Qi State have basically the same influence in South Korea, maintaining a fragile balance.

But this fragile balance was quickly broken by Qin Guodong.

South Korea was unable to reach Qin State, so in desperation, they gave the land near Hangu Pass to Huai State, and at the same time gave Xu land to Huai State.Ask Huai State to help resist Qin State.

After discussing with the ministers, Wang Kan felt that he could agree that Qin State would compete with Western Chu State to the west of Hangu Pass. As for the Central Plains, Wang Kan had already regarded it as the forbidden area of ​​Huai State.Naturally, Qin Guo was not allowed to take a bite.

Immediately, a large army was sent from Nanyang to the north to take over the land around Hangu Pass and the state of Xu.

After acquiring Hangu Pass and the land of Xu State, the Huai State had already surrounded Bangzhou Wangji in it.Luoyi now has only land with a radius of less than two hundred miles, and is surrounded by Huaiguo and South Korea.

After Huai State got Hangu Pass, it quickly fought a battle with Qin State at Hangu Pass. With the rattan armor army and catapults in hand, coupled with the terrain of Hangu Pass, Huai State only spent 5000 yuan. People, let the Qin State hit the Hangu Pass in front of Hangu Pass, and suffered heavy losses. The strategy of going east out of Hangu Pass was interrupted by the Huai State.
