From the beginning of the fight to conquer the world

Chapter 100 Zhao Wei Forming an Alliance

Li Chenfeng stayed in Handan City for a total of five days. During these five days, he did a lot of things and met a lot of people.

However, it is not so easy for King Zhao to agree to return Yecheng to Wei State.

After all, no king is willing to lose the country from his own hands. This is a matter of face, and it will take a lot of effort to persuade Zhao Wangyan.

Fortunately, Li Chenfeng had already prepared to feed the greedy guys under Zhao Wang, so if they were there, Zhao Wang would inevitably be persuaded.

Of course, if it was just for Ye City, then Li Chenfeng would not need to expend so much effort.

In addition to asking for Yecheng this time, Li Chenfeng also formed an alliance with Zhao Guo on behalf of Wei Guo. Wei Guo was willing to send [-] troops to help Zhao Guo resist Qin's army in Shangdang County.

Shangdang County was originally the territory of South Korea.

In 262 BC, the State of Qin sent troops to attack South Korea's Wild King (an ancient place name, which is where Wei Yuanjun is now).

Ye Wang ordered the city to surrender to Qin, which cut off the entire Shangdang County from the country.

King Huanhui of Han was afraid of the advance of the Qin army, so he decided to take the initiative to dedicate Shangdang County to Qin to stop the war.But the Shangdang prefect was unwilling to surrender to Qin.

King Huanhui of Han then sent Feng Ting to replace the prefect of Shangdang to carry out matters related to surrendering to Qin.

Unfortunately, Feng Ting was unwilling to surrender to Qin either.However, Feng Ting is not incompetent. In order to avoid strengthening Qin and at the same time use Zhao's strength to resist Qin, he offered his county to Zhao, and Zhao Xiaocheng accepted it. Send Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng to lead [-] Zhao troops to take over Shangdang.

In 261 BC, the State of Qin attacked South Korea, cutting off the connection between Shangdang County of South Korea and the mainland of South Korea.

In April of the same year, the State of Qin sent Wang Lu to lead troops to attack Shangdang, intending to annex it in one fell swoop.Lian Po led 4 troops to rescue Shangdang.At that time, most of Shangdang's land had been captured by the Qin army.

In the end, Feng Ting led the remnant troops to join Lian Po's army.

I am afraid everyone is familiar with the next thing, that is, the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo was defeated, and 40 Zhao troops were killed by Bai Qikeng.

From then on, Zhao State began to gradually decline, but the struggle between Qin and Zhao in Shangdang County also started from then on, which lasted for more than ten years and never stopped.

Now that Wei Guo is willing to send [-] troops to help Zhao Guotong fight against the Qin army, King Zhao is naturally very happy.

Of course, at the same time, Li Chenfeng also had a lot of demands.

In addition to the fact that Li Mu must be the leader this time, Li Chenfeng also asked Zhao Guo to cede a large area south of Zhangshui and east of Taihang Mountain to Wei Guo.

You know, although this location is sparsely populated, it is large enough to be comparable to the original East County, and the terrain is dangerous. There is Taihang Mountain to isolate Shangdang County. It only takes a small percentage to hold a few checkpoints to completely stop Shangdang The possibility of the county Qin army's eastward advance is very important to the state of Wei, which has now recovered a large area of ​​territory.

This request made Zhao Wangyan a little hesitant. After all, the area of ​​this piece of land was too large, almost equivalent to Zhao Guo giving Wei a county for nothing, which made him heartbroken.

However, someone in Zhao Guochao Hall would naturally persuade him.

Because Li Chenfeng had already fed those favored ministers of King Zhao, and this matter was also very beneficial to Zhao Jia, so there was a rare situation in the court of Zhao State that Prince Jia and Prince Qian both persuaded King Zhao to agree to this matter at the same time. Zhao Wangyan, who was vacillating about things, was naturally easily persuaded.

In this way, within five days, Li Chenfeng spent five days in Handan, reached an alliance with Zhao Guo, agreed on the goal of jointly resisting Qin, and also regained all the lost land for Wei Guo, and there were many accidents in it reward.

In this way, the area of ​​the Wei State has almost doubled. After the news was sent back to Daliang, Li Chenfeng's reputation reached its peak in an instant. Hundreds of thousands of people in Daliang City were praising the talent of Second Young Master Feng.

It was at this time that those who wanted to curry favor with Li Chenfeng in the court of Wei State began to admonish the king of Wei, Jin Li Chenfeng as the crown prince.

As soon as this proposal was put forward, it was immediately discussed in the court, and [-]% of the officials and nobles agreed that Li Chenfeng should be the crown prince of Wei.

I just don't know if he is afraid that his son will threaten his status. Although Wei Wangzeng didn't explicitly object, he proposed to wait until Li Chenfeng returned to Daliang.

……

……

Li Chenfeng, who had already left Handan and was handing over Yecheng to Le Jian, the defender of Yecheng, got the news from Wei Liao and just smiled and ignored it.

He was not at all annoyed by Wei Wangzeng's evasion.

Now he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and has the supreme prestige of expanding the territory. He is just a crown prince, and it doesn't matter whether he has it or not.

After all, it seems that Wei Wangzeng still has a lot of good years to live, and his preparations for the unification battle are still too far away, so let Wei Wang stand in front first, so he can act in secret, right?

Next, Li Chenfeng's focus is to receive the huge territory, and to separate out [-] troops, including [-] elite Wei soldiers, with Qian Ge as the main general, set out from Yecheng, and meet Li Mu, who led the Zhao army, in Wu'an Rendezvous, and then set out all the way to the northwest to reach the front line of Muyang, and fight the main force of the Qin army.

And Li Chenfeng himself left 5000 troops in Yecheng, [-] troops in Pingyang and Boyang, and then he himself led the remaining [-] people to go south along Taihang Mountain.

Taihang Mountain has a dangerous situation and has always been regarded as an important place for soldiers.From the south of Lushui River and Zhangshui River, there is a rough and rugged road. It only needs to set up a checkpoint with hundreds of elite soldiers, and one man can guard the pass and ten thousand can't open it.

Li Chenfeng left five hundred Wei soldiers and one thousand auxiliary soldiers here. Wei Qing, the former centurion commander, was promoted to thousand commander in Jin Dynasty, stationed in Wanzi City, Yangchang Bandao, to guard against the Qin army.

Next, Li Chenfeng traveled east all the way to Zhongmou City, which was originally the capital of Zhao State.The first capital of Zhao State was Jinyang, and the capital was moved to Zhongmu in the first year of Zhao Xianhou (423 BC), and the capital was set to Handan in the first year of Zhao Jinghou (386 BC).

Originally, this city was also an important city in Zhao State, but it was first conquered by Wei State and then occupied by Qin State, so at this time it had already declined due to years of war, and the city was full of ruins. A large city with a large population has now been reduced to a population of less than [-].

Standing on the dilapidated city wall outside Zhongmu City, Li Chenfeng was filled with regret as he watched the fertile fields around him fall into disrepair due to no one working on them.

In the last few decades of the Warring States period, the Seven Kingdoms conquered Immortals year after year, and the number of deaths exceeded one million!

Want to know how many people there are in China now?Calculated according to the ratio of the number of deaths to the total population, I am afraid that in the first 20 years of Emperor Shihuang's domination of the world, the number of people killed in the land of China was almost the same as that in Europe during World War II.

You can imagine the tragedy at that time!
