A few months later.
The grass grows, warblers fly, and the ice and snow melt.
After the winter hunting, there are no more stories worth telling in Chu State - the refugees have been properly resettled, and no fool in the world wants to do something in the winter ( There is no connotation of the late king Mi Huai).
Everything is harmonious and peaceful!
Xiong Wuliang spent a whole winter squatting in Yingdu - in a few months, the reconstruction work of Yingdu was pretty good.
Thanks to the fact that Yingdu is located in the south, even in winter, the project will not be delayed - if it were placed in the north, the ground would be as frozen as iron in the cold winter months, and there would be no possibility of construction.
A winter's time flies by in a blink of an eye.
Spring has quietly arrived, the days are getting longer and longer, and the temperature is gradually rising. On the day of the beginning of spring, Xiong Wuliang personally helped Qu Yuan plow an acre of field, signaling the beginning of spring plowing to the government and the public.
Farmers all over the mountains and fields began to work.
The Huainan Plain, which was once destroyed by Sima Cuo's coalition forces, is now thriving - Marquis Quyang has an order: no agricultural tax will be collected on the Huainan Plain for three years.
The farmers who survived the disaster are full of energy!
Quyang Academy has transported a large number of talents to the Huainan Plain. Now this fertile granary is initially in the hands of Xiong Wuliang, and his organizational and mobilization efforts are not weak.
Even before the onset of last winter, the Quyang construction engineering team not only built a large number of houses that could survive the winter, but also repaired water conservancy facilities and made smoother and wider roads.
Huainanping is a blessing in disguise.
In the foreseeable future, this fertile plain will be even richer than before the war last year!
"Marquis Quyang, Marquis Quyang, your kindness will never end in a lifetime..." The loud singing echoed in the fields.
…
After the beginning of spring, before Zhao Hua had time to implement the three plans of 'opening up Lingnan', 'conquering Bashu' and 'revenge of Yue', a big thing happened first -
Envoys from Qi and Zhao came to Yingdu one after another! Want to form an alliance!
Needless to say about the State of Qi - King Tiandi of Qi and the regent of the State of Chu had a relationship of foster father and son, and they were already die-hard allies of the State of Chu.
The envoys from the State of Qi's visit this time was nothing more than to reiterate the old alliance and express their diplomatic support for "Xiong Wuliang's regency in the State of Chu".
However, it is a big deal for an envoy from the State of Zhao to come to Yingdu!
Recall——
Before the winter came last year, King Zhao Yong of Zhao raised an army of 200,000 to surprise Qin!
At that time, the Qin State was at the end of its power.
Coupled with the strong military strength of Zhao State and the leadership of a top 'S+' general like Zhao Yong...
So the Zhao army passed through the pass, beheaded generals, captured cities and territories, and felt like they were entering uninhabited territory!
The Qin State resisted desperately, almost exhausting the land to recruit strong men; at the same time, it asked the Rongdi and Yiqu tribes affiliated to the Qin State in the western grasslands with an almost harsh attitude to send troops to assist.
Bai Qi, who had just returned from Yingdu with his life, was ordered to be in danger amidst the doubts from both the Qin government and the public, and became the commander-in-chief in the fight against Zhao's invasion.
Bai Qi fully demonstrated his war talent, and the Qin people continued to pile up lives at any cost, and finally managed to withstand the Zhao people's offensive less than a hundred miles north of Xianyang...
By that time, the weather was already very cold.
Zhao Yong's supply line was stretched very long, and the cold in the north was really beyond the imagination of southerners... so he could only regretfully call off his troops and call a truce.
Although this battle failed to completely wipe out the Qin State as Zhao Yong had originally best expected.
However, Zhao Guo took advantage of the situation and still made a lot of money!
Large tracts of Qin's territory were conquered, and a considerable part of it was unceremoniously included in Zhao's own territory. In addition, the looted population, livestock, weapons, money and food... are even more numerous.
All I can say is that Zhao Yong, the sixth man, is making a lot of money!
In such an epic battle of 300,000 allied troops attacking Chu, Qin and Chu were undoubtedly the biggest losers - the former worsened and lost its appearance as a powerful country; the latter suffered heavy losses and fell from the throne of hegemony.
The state of Qi and the state of Yan were confronting each other on the border, which was a waste of money and food.
Although Wei and South Korea lost a lot of troops, fortunately, their homeland was not ravaged by the enemy like the unlucky Qin State - they were undoubtedly big losers, but it was not too miserable.
The real and only big winner is Zhao Guo!
Zhao Ren was proud and proud!
In this battle, the Zhao people marched and broke through at a speed that shocked the world, showing astonishing combat effectiveness!
The central cavalry group, under the personal leadership of Zhao Yong, charged in concentratedly, quickly tore open the opening in the Qin defense line, and then continued to advance in depth; the chariot troops and accompanying infantry rushed in along the opening, completely tearing the enemy's defenses to pieces. Line of defense.
Next, there is the inhumane insertion, encirclement, and harvest...
The Zhao people's superb cavalry tactics shocked the world!
It was such a simple tactical cooperation, performed repeatedly without any surprises, but it actually made the Qin people unable to resist... If it weren't for the strong will of the Qin soldiers, many soldiers who were trapped in the encirclement would still have fought bloody battles until the last moment, and when the cold winter came completely Before, they tried their best to slow down the Zhao army... Qin will definitely perish.
…
Having said that, it’s not like Zhao Guo has never won a battle before.
But, that’s all about attacking Zhongshan Kingdom!
What does it mean to win against a small country like Zhongshan?
I can fuck me too!
With this idea, except for Xiong Wuliang, other countries actually did not pay attention to the Zhao State after "Hufu riding and shooting".
But after this battle, the eyes of all countries are different!
All the countries in the world dare not underestimate Zhao anymore——
Today's Zhao State is already the most powerful country in the world in terms of military strength alone!
Wei and South Korea were even more trembling... terrified!
Fortunately, last winter, Zhao Yong, the sixth child, chose to fight against the Qin State... If he had come after our two brothers... we would probably be in trouble.
In any case, for a new military power like Zhao, every move is of course very eye-catching.
The envoys of the Zhao people went to Yingdu to seek an alliance, which was undoubtedly of great significance to the Chu State and had a profound impact on the world's pattern!
But then again - the people of Zhao and Chu, because the two countries are not bordering each other, have never had much contact... What is the purpose of suddenly doing this?
"Please help me clear up my doubts." In the temporary palace of Yingdu, the unscrupulous boss Xiong Wuliang behaved very humbly at this moment.
It’s impossible not to be humble—spring has begun, and there are a lot of things to be busy with, all of which are shouldered by these good brothers in front of you...
As a boss, of course, his attitude toward his employees who have performed well and is a gold medal worker can be extremely humble...even a little flattering.
Qu Yuan and others curled their lips speechlessly... In the end, Zhao Hua's mind was the quickest, and he cupped his hands and replied -
"Report to the Lord——"
