Chapter 183 183.The Battle of Qin and Wei
A few days after Le Yang arrived in Zhao State, he had just finished his strategic deployment and was about to take the initiative to attack and push back against Qi State.
The Great Liang of the capital of Wei issued an order not to attack rashly!
Recently, Wei ushered in a very important event, the war between Wu Qi and Qin ended, and this war Wei fought against Qin.
Wu Qi took 50,000 Wei warriors into Qin's Hexi land to fight a decisive battle with Qin Mugong, and the world felt that this war would be Qin Mugong's victory, after all, Qin Mugong had hundreds of thousands of Qin warriors, while Wei only had 50,000 Wei warriors.
But no one thought that Wu Qi defeated the Qin army with 50,000 Wei soldiers, and after defeating the Qin army, Wu Qi did not stop the pace of attack, he chased the Qin army all the way and beat it to Guanzhong, and in Guanzhong, Qin Mugong once again had a large-scale military contest with Wu Qi, and the Battle of Xianyang occurred.
Qin Mugong's counteroffensive failed, and Qin Mugong was also killed in the battle of Xianyang, Qin Mugong's children fled to Bashu with the Qin army, and Wu Qi took advantage of the situation to chase into Bashu.
In the two battles with Wu Qi, the generals of the Qin State realized a problem, that is, the soldiers of the Qin State could not fight hard against these soldiers of the Wei State at all, and the hard battle was just a waste of death.
Realizing this, the Qin army ceded Xianyang, a place where the Qin state had been its capital since its founding.
After the Qin State withdrew from Xianyang, Wu Qi took advantage of the victory to pursue, chased it to the Bashu area, and met a very strong resistance in Bashu Wuqi, in addition to the geographical advantage of the Qin army, and the Wei soldiers fell into a serious soil and water dissatisfaction after entering Bashu, he suffered a great loss.
Wu Qi realized that it was unrealistic to completely annihilate the Qin State, and it was impossible to compete with the Qin State in the Bashu region, after all, the Qin State did not face it head-on, but only used the geographical advantage to consume him.
In Wu Qi's eyes, the entire Qin State was no match for his Wei Wushu, who was his life's work.
Wu Qi knew that the Qin army was in the Bashu area, and he Wu Qi would not be able to destroy the Qin state, so he could only withdraw from the Bashu area unwillingly and began negotiations with the Qin state.
Wu Qi wants to negotiate, Qin State is desperate, after all, if he fights, he Qin State will die, although Wu Qi has suffered a great loss after entering Bashu, but Qin State is also a big loss in Bashu?
As for the new lord of Qin, he also thought about using Bashu to consume Wei, but his Qin's reserve food or something was not so sufficient at all, maybe Wei was not consumed, he Qin was consumed, and since the end of the Battle of Xianyang, it was not only Wu Qi of Wei who entered Bashu to fight with Qin, but Korea also sent troops to attack.
The new lord of Qin, Yingji, knew that if he continued to fight like this, Qin would die, and he always wanted to negotiate with Wei, telling Wei that they were willing to bear the price of the response for their ambition to enter the Central Plains.
At first, Wu Qi did not accept Yingji's negotiations, but later after seeing Wei Wushu's losses, Wu Qi had to negotiate with Yingji, and Wu Qi personally stepped forward to negotiate with Yingji.
The two sides bargained with each other, and in the end, the Qin State only ceded the land west of the Hexi, compensated Wei for the war losses of 10 million taels, and compensated Korea for the war losses of 10 million taels, thus ending the war.
Originally, Wei Guogong was actually very angry when he heard that Wu Qi had given up the important land in the Guanzhong of the Qin State, but Wu Qi told the Duke of Wei that the land in the Guanzhong of the Qin State was not rich at all, and it was useless to come, and he had to send heavy troops to guard it, and he only needed the land west of the river.
Wu Qi is more important to the land west of the river, which is the gate of the Qin State and the city wall of the Qin State to prevent the invasion of the Eastern States.
After the Qin State entered the Central Plains, after its defeat, it withdrew because it had this land west of the river as a barrier to resist the attacks of the eastern countries.
The terrain of Hexi is dangerous, and the Qin State relies on Hexi to defend against the invasion of the eastern countries.
But this time, Qin Mugong of Qin State underestimated the enemy, and Wu Qi was defeated in Hexi, and the land in Hexi was also occupied by Wu Qi.
Wu Qi holds the land west of the river, which is equivalent to holding the life of the Qin State, as for Xianyang, Wu Qi does not want it, he feels that as long as he occupies the land west of the river, when does the Wei State want to take Xianyang, isn't that when he wants to take it?
For Qin Zhaogong, the new lord of the Qin State, he can accept it if he can keep the Qin State by giving up the land west of the river, after all, it is better to lose a region than to lose the country, right?
After the negotiations were successful, Wu Qi led his army to leave the Qin State and settled in the land of Hexi, and the main force of the Qin State also came out of Bashu and returned to the national capital Xianyang.
Xianyang, which was occupied by the Wei State, was already a ruin, and in the first few days before the Wei State evacuated Xianyang, they carried out the three-light policy in Xianyang, burning, killing, and robbing the light!
Qin Zhaogong, who returned to his hometown, looked at the scene in Xianyang, he clenched his fists and secretly swore that he must avenge this.
You must make your country strong, and you must lead the army to break through the capital of Wei when you are alive and carry out a three-light policy for it.
After the war with the Qin State, Wu Qi's eyes gradually came to the Central Plains, originally he planned to enter the main battlefield of the Central Plains to fight with the Chu State after the war with the Qin State, but when he learned that the Zhao State was about to be destroyed by the Qi State, Wu Qi chose to Qi first and then Chu!
After solving the threat of Qin, Korea began to send troops to the Central Plains in a big way to make up for the troops sent from the Central Plains to support Zhao.
Originally, after seeing that the Central Plains dispatched a wave of troops, the Chu State was very excited, because it felt that this was an opportunity to defeat the coalition army, but it didn't take long to be happy, and the army that had been left in the country by South Korea came......
As for worrying about the sneak attack of the Qin State? Korea is not afraid at all, after all, the land west of the river is controlled by the Wei state, after the Qin state ceded the entire land of Hexi, the Qin state was trapped by the Wei state, and wanted to enter the Central Plains, only to enter the land of Hexi and defeat the Wei state.
If you want to enter the Central Plains from Korea, this road is no longer feasible, after all, the land west of the river also contains the territory connected to Qin and Han.
Now that the Qin State has no land connected to Korea, the only way to enter Korea is to defeat the Wei army in the land west of the river.
So Korea didn't have to worry about his rear, he believed that Wei would definitely have the ability to stop Qin.
As for the current Qin State, I am afraid that it is not thinking about entering the Central Plains at all, handed over 20 million taels, and ceded the land of Hexi, the Battle of Hexi and the Battle of Xianyang, lost half of the population of the Qin State, so does the Qin State still have the heart and strength to enter the Central Plains?
I'm afraid that Qin Zhaogong's main concern now is not to dominate or anything, but how to keep the common people of Qin State from starving to death.
At the beginning, in order to settle in the Central Plains, Qin Mugong transferred most of the grain and grass into Hexi, in order to attack the Central Plains by himself, in order to ensure the sufficiency of grain and grass, but what he didn't expect was that Hexi was defeated, and the grain and grass were in the hands of Wei.
