One thousand eight hundred chapters: the death of the king of Zhou
The situation in the world has changed in the past few months. Han Yi annexed Zhao State, recovered the original land of the Three Jins, and annexed Qi and Lu, and the national strength is prosperous. Yan, Liang, Sui, and Yue State depend on Han, and Qin State defended Hangu Pass and continuously strengthened the city walls. Judging from this situation, Ying Zheng knew that there was no hope of going east, so he could only retreat but not dare to go east. Of course, Ying Zheng was not idle either. He actively promoted agricultural production, trained soldiers, and continuously hoarded weapons. It was a plan for the future. His troops had reached 680,000, and most of them were cavalry, and he still had a combat power that should not be underestimated.
The north was completely controlled by Han Yi, and the northwest was in Ying Zheng's hands, and Han Yi used Yue Fei to give to the three generals of Sun Wu and Zhang Liao, with a total of 400,000 troops to guard Hangu Pass to prevent Ying Zheng from going out from east, and delivered to Yue Fei to guard with Wang Ye as the center. Sun Wu brought, Zong Ze and Zong Xu to guard the Zhao Wei land to prevent Qin from invading.
As for the division of Jinyang City, it was jointly owned by Yan, Han and Liang. The Three Kingdoms used this as a place of trade and opened a market to build Jinyang into a commercial city. Liang State sent war horses, cattle, sheep, fur and even slaves from the grassland to the city in exchange for money and grain to fill the treasury.
It has to be mentioned here that the land of Zhao State was originally very barren, and there were not many lands suitable for cultivation, and An Lushan occupied no land suitable for cultivation, which led to An Lushan's food source mainly consisting of cattle and sheep, which made An Lushan very distressed. Han Yi sold salt and excess moldy food in Jinyang City in exchange for plowing oxen and encouraging farming. It can be said that Han Yi occupied a dominant position. As long as An Lushan was disobedient, Han Yi directly cut off his food and grass, which would stifle An Lushan's lifeline.
Although the Liang State was strangled by Han Yi, the Liang State had a lot of troops. An Lushan recruited and absorbed grassland vagrants and directly occupied 100,000 troops. This was also the largest military force that An Lushan could supply. Most of them were afraid that there would be a fiscal deficit. If An Lushan didn't need others to beat him, he would perish himself. It was very frustrating.
The situation in the south is not much better than the original north. Because of Han Yi's intervention, the original Wu State directly divided Wu State into two parts. The two armies confronted each other, and no one could do anything to each other. Zhu Yuanzhang originally had 300,000 to 400,000 troops, but Han Yi was beaten by Han Yi and lost his soldiers and generals. Moreover, the most developed areas were all pulled out by Han Yi, which resulted in Zhu Yuanzhang not supplying so many troops and could only dismiss the army to develop farming. He had 150,000 troops and handed over to Xu Da to practice day and night, which proved that the soldiers were not as numerous but as elite.
This was already Zhu Yuanzhang's limit, and the situation was in danger, so Zhu Yuanzhang was not stupid. With the demise of Ju, Zhu Yuanzhang joined forces with Xiang Yu and Gou Jian to form an alliance to fight against Han Yinan's offense. Moreover, the situation was very good and had become a force that cannot be ignored.
Under Fan Zeng's efforts to govern, Xiang State can only be said to be a barely coping with the past. Although Fan Zeng is good at strategy, he is not good at governing the country. In addition, as he grows older, his administrative efficiency has become low. It seems that he has not been alive for a few years. As the saying goes, although the divine turtle is alive, it still has time. Of course, Xiang State has not experienced strong winds and waves in recent years. With the good weather, the national strength is becoming increasingly stronger. All the soldiers and horses total 300,000, of which the crane-controlling soldiers and the 3,000 overlord cavalry under Xiang Yu are the two major combat forces under Xiang Yu.
Compared with the two, Goujian was a little inadequate. After all, Goujian's territory was stolen from Sun Yue. There were not many soldiers and horses to support, only 80,000. There were no outstanding generals and corps in the army. It can be said that among the Three Kingdoms, Goujian was the weakest. Even so, the combined forces of the Three Kingdoms were 530,000, which was not easy to mess with. It is worth mentioning that after the Ju Kingdom destroyed the country, Chong'er led his troops to surrender to Goujian, which also made up for Goujian's shortcomings in lack of generals.
The rest of the world is Sun Yue. Sun Yue has been more and more aggrieved year by year and is always bullied by others. Fortunately, he has saved the ancestral temple and can also produce 130,000 troops in China. Famous generals in China are emerging one after another. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Shi Dakai, Lu Meng! Wei Xiaokuan, Fu Youde, and Lin Renzhao, but he just cannot destroy Goujian. With Sun Liang's policy of valuing culture and neglecting military forces, the combat power of the army has plummeted. Fortunately, these famous generals have not been able to carry it, but they have more than enough defense of the city. By the way, Sun Yue has been in three lifetimes for three lifetimes, and has changed one in almost ten years.
Among the many princes, the one who can cultivate one's character is Liu Bang. At this time, Liu Bang was strong and could produce 500,000 troops from the whole country. The biggest killer was his elephant cavalry, which had great lethality. And the most important thing was Liu Bang's accumulation of strength over the years. He had many civil and military officials and generals under his command, including Yi Yin, He Kun, Chen Ping, and the clan's children were also talented like Liu Xiu! Liu Che, both of them were great talents, and in terms of military generals, there were many famous generals: Fan Kuai, Gao Xianzhi, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Wang Xianzhi, Wang Zhene, Wu Lin, Wu Jie, Wei Rui, Yu Hualong, Juwuba, Chen Baxian, Li Cunxu, etc....... Power
It should not be underestimated at all, but Liu Bang also faces a huge problem, that is, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the whole people are soldiers. Once a war broke out, Liu Bang's subsequent resources could not be provided continuously. This led to Liu Bang being able to stay in a corner and not going north. Of course, Liu Bang was also actively solving the current problem and encouraging the people to have children, but Liu Bang did not catch up with the good times. When he just occupied Chu, all the people thought that the country was destroyed and their families were destroyed, and they fled to Xiang Kingdom one after another. Although they stopped it later, the children who had just given birth were only ten years old, so how could they start a war? They could only wait for a few years. It can be said that Liu Bang was very frustrated.
Of course, there is also Sui State. The Sui State has suffered great energy in the last battle. Although Yang Jian is still alive, he is still old and it is time to pass the throne. The world's forms are constantly changing.
In the study room
Han Yi was looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, looking at the colorful clouds and dusk outside the house, Han Yi sighed and stood with his hands behind his back, rubbing the sweat on his cheeks, and his expression was indifferent: "A fierce battle is inevitable! I am ready!"
"King!" Xin Qiji came behind Han Yi in black clothes. He was very respectful, but his face was still very serious.
"What's wrong!" Han Yi browed and said, "Xin Qiji's arrival at this time must be nothing good."
"The King of Zhou is dead!" Xin Qiji looked solemn, took out the bamboo slips from his arms and handed them to Han Yi respectfully, not daring to say more.
"This old guy! It's really time to die!" Han Yi took the bamboo slips and asked subconsciously: "Is the news blocked?"
