Wei and Zhao each sent 100,000 elite troops and tens of thousands of civilians to go south. The coach of Wei was Pang Juan, and the coach of Zhao was Zhao Xu. The two countries joined forces and headed south, and soon joined South Korea.
When the Huai army arrived, the Wei and Zhao armies also arrived half a day apart.
This time, the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and South Korea learned the lesson from the last time that the three Jin coalition forces could not unified command, but were entrusted by Huai State to stalemate in Song State. The three countries jointly elected Pang Juan as the commander-in-chief of the Three Jin Dynasty.
Pang Juan did not refuse, and immediately took the order and flag and began to command the three Jin coalition forces.
More than 600,000 troops from the Three Jin and Huai Kingdoms gathered in the Ying River Basin, with camps stretching for more than ten miles. Such a large-scale war instantly attracted the attention of the states of Bangzhou.
Qin, Qi, Yan, and Western Chu all paid great attention to this battle.
Sanjin did not expect that this time it would trigger such a war.
Qin State, Yongdu.
The Marquis of Qin looked at Gongsun Yang and said, "Commander Zuo, the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties are fighting against the Huai State, and the Wei State's land west of Hexi must be empty. Why not take this opportunity to invade Hexi and take it back?"
Gongsun Yang frowned and was thinking quickly in his mind. After hearing what the Marquis of Qin said, he said: "Your Majesty, the three Jin Dynasties have united now. If Qin State attacks Wei, Zhao State and South Korea will definitely come to rescue. "
"Wei has an army of 300,000, Zhao is not willing to give in too much, and South Korea also has 200,000. Even if the Three Jins and Huai are fighting, once we intervene, the Three Jins can mobilize 300,000 troops to defend the land west of Hexi."
"Even if we, the Qin State, win, we will still suffer heavy losses. If the Three Jin Dynasties take the opportunity to make peace with the Huai State, when the time comes, the Three Jin States will strike back, and we, the Qin State, will not be able to withstand it!"
Gongsun Yang knew very well that after the reform, the Qin State became stronger and stronger. However, although the Qin State was strong, it could not defeat three people with one enemy.
What's more, Gongsun Yang has been in the Huai Kingdom for many years and is very aware of the power of the Huai Kingdom.
Qin Hou looked a little unswerving.
Gongsun Yang continued: "Your Majesty, if the Qin State defeats the Three Jin Dynasties and succeeds in marching eastward, the Huai State will be the first to face it."
"As powerful as the Huai State, our Qin State is not as powerful as it is."
"The reforms of all countries are based on the laws of Huaihe. The Huaiguo has been reforming for three hundred years, using the Legalist royal way. It is two thousand miles away and occupies half of the world. If Qin wants to catch up, it will have to spend hundreds of years. .”
"If we attack the Three Jins at this time and let the already powerful Huai State continue to be strong, our Qin State will have to face an opponent more powerful than the Three Jins in the future."
"As your minister, I must have a long-term vision and plan for Qin."
After hearing Gongsun Yang's words, the Marquis of Qin was silent for a moment, and then stopped sending troops to Xihe.
"Then what should Qin do for the present?"
"Your Majesty, please move the capital to Xianyang!" Gongsun Yang said.
"Moving the capital to Xianyang?" Qin Hou was a little confused.
"Yes!" Gongsun Yang said: "Move the capital to Xianyang!"
"Yongdu is too close to the west. The reason for moving the capital to Xianyang is to better advance eastward. At the same time, Xianyang is flat and surrounded by water flows such as the Wei River and the Jing River. There are abundant water resources and millions of fertile fields can be cultivated."
"Xianyang is rich in products but not in population. It has more room for development. There are many nobles in Yongdu, so there are many obstacles to the implementation of the new law."
The Marquis of Qin thought for a moment and immediately agreed. At the same time, Gongsun Yang changed the age of Qin's military service from seventeen to forty-five to seventeen to sixty.
After the implementation of this method, the number of Qin soldiers increased again, and almost all the people were soldiers.
In Zhongguo, more than 600,000 troops gathered here.
The Huai Kingdom and the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties were constantly fighting. Although Wu Qi was not as good as his father, he was still an excellent general. After receiving additional troops, he fought back and forth with the Three Jin Dynasties. However, against Pang Juan, Wu Qi is still far behind.
Pang Juan commanded an army of 300,000 people and continuously launched attacks on the Huai Kingdom. The three Jin Dynasties had already completed their reforms. This was when the three Jin Dynasties were at their strongest.
Not counting the fighting between the armies of both sides, hundreds of people were killed and injured every day.
The armies of the three Jin Dynasties coordinated together and continued to suppress the Huai army under the command of Pang Juan. But Huai State made a mistake at this time.
When Wang Kan sent out reinforcements, he did not appoint Wu Qi as commander. As a result, the more than 300,000 Huai troops were not under unified command.
This put the Huai army at a disadvantage when fighting the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties.
As a first-rate general, Pang Juan, after fighting with the Huai army for a period of time, discovered that there were some problems with Huai's command, and immediately sent Wei soldiers to penetrate the Huai camp, hoping to divide the Huai army.
After seeing this situation, Wu Qi immediately sent a message to other Huai troops, but the two sides continued to fight.
It's just that Pang Juan is indeed well-deserved and has a vicious vision. Even if Wu Qi reacted quickly, Huai's army was still divided into parts.
Pang Juan immediately commanded the army to attack, hoping to swallow up the separated parts. However, the Huai army was also elite and they immediately sent troops to contain Pang Juan, not giving Pang Juan a chance.
The Huai army was very familiar with the land of Zhongguo, and with the help of Zhongguo, they knew the trends of the mountains, rivers and mountains here. Although the command of operations was not as good as that of the Three Jins, relying on the trend of mountains and rivers, the Three Jins were still blocked.
However, in the face of the continuous attacks by the three Jin coalition forces, the Huai defense line was also retreating little by little.
After seeing this situation, the Marquis of Wei, Zhao and Han immediately invited Qi to attack together. Qi State has always coveted the land of Huaisi in Huai State. After seeing that the three Jin coalition forces actually suppressed Huai State, they could not bear it and sent a large army to attack Huai State.
When Qi State attacked, Huai State did not dare to neglect and quickly dispatched 100,000 troops to support Huaisi. There are already 50,000 defenders in Huaisi, and with another 100,000, there will be a total of 150,000 troops. It's just that this time Qi State actually drew an army of 200,000 to attack.
The State of Qi was very familiar with the land of Huaisi, and the two sides continued to fight on the land of Huaisi.
The Marquis of Qi appointed Zou Ji as prime minister and led his army on an expedition. Zou Ji was also proficient in the art of war. After the reform of Qi State, the strength of the soldiers increased, but Huai State was unable to resist and had to abandon Tancheng and retreat to Xiapi.
The Qi State won successive victories on the Huaisi battlefield and seized a large amount of land. The nobles of the Qi State cheered, "Recovering Duke Huan's hegemony."
The feud between Qi and Huai was deep. Back then, Duke Huan of Qi was the hegemon, but he was overthrown by Huai in a battle, which almost ended the feud. Now that I have the chance, I naturally want to come back with revenge.
At the same time, the Three Jin Dynasties also sent envoys to the Western Chu State, inviting the Chu State to join the attack on the Huai State. However, the roads in the Western Chu State were rugged and difficult to travel. Even during the war between the Three Jin Dynasties and the Huai State, there were still tens of thousands of troops in Yicheng and Yuncheng. Defense.
Wang Kan never expected that less than a year after he succeeded as king, Huai State would be attacked again by Bangwu State.
