Chapter 500 Emperor, Hedong, Shouchun, Qu's

Zhou Dynasty, Luoyi.

Since King Ping of Zhou moved eastward, Luoyi replaced Haojing as the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and to this day.

The current reign of Zhou emperor is named Ji Yan, and his posthumous title is King Nan of Zhou. He has now reigned for 28 years.

In history, Ji Yan reigned for a total of 58 years and was the king of the fallen country of the Zhou Dynasty.

Now he is still the king of the country.

In 367 BC, due to Gongzigen's rebellion, Zhao Chenghou "divided Zhou into two with Han", and the Zhou king's capital was divided into two small countries: Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou. By the eighth year of King Nan of Zhou (307 BC), the Qin army drove King Nan out of the Chengzhou Palace, and King Nan moved to the Western Zhou royal city.

Six days after capturing Yangdi, the Zhao army, led by two generals Le Cheng and Shen Jing, entered Luoyi, occupied the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou, destroyed the two small countries, and "invited" Zhou Emperor Ji Yan to move to Handan.

Of course, Ji Yan had no power to resist this.

Since then, the Zhou Dynasty lost its last piece of territory and completely became a castle in the air.

Everyone knows that after hundreds of years of perseverance, the Zhou Dynasty finally officially set out to the countdown of its destruction.

After occupying Luoyi, Le Cheng and Shen Jing continued to head north, aiming directly at Hedong County north of Luoyi.

Hedong is a good place. It was once the base for the overlord of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was also the base camp for the Wei Kingdom to dominate the world a hundred years ago during the Warring States Period.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hedong in that era was the center of the entire China.

However, with the decline of Wei State, the center of fighting for dominance gradually moved to the Central Plains, and Hedong County began to become less important.

In the past few years, Hedong County has changed hands between Wei, Zhao and Qin, and finally fell into the hands of South Korea with the gift of Zhao's promise.

However, Koreans have not been able to own this place for too long.

Ten days after the fall of Yangdi, General Le Cheng of Zhao State, Deputy General Shen Jing and their 70,000 Zhao army crossed the Yellow River and entered Hedong County.

The news of the capture of King Han in Yangdi City had already spread throughout Hedong. South Korea's rule here only lasted for one or two years, and it was impossible to accommodate the people of Hedong for their own use.

Le Cheng Shen Jing rushed to the north all the way, and was invincible. Many large and small cities in Hedong County surrendered.

However, in ten days, most of the entire Hedong territory has been restored, and only Anyi, the county seat, is still struggling to support it.

Anyi became the last remaining lonely city in South Korea.

This lonely city did not last long. Under the bombardment of Zhao's heavy artillery, the city wall of Anyi collapsed three days later. Countless Zhao's familiar troops rushed into the gap that appeared like any time before.

South Korea's last city was also taken down by Zhao State.

Five days before the fall of Hedong County, the King of Han officially submitted a letter to Zhao State, requesting the entire territory of South Korea to be incorporated into Zhao State, and willing to be a minister of Zhao State for generations.

Because Zhao He, the king of Zhao, was fighting outside, Zhao's father came forward to accept the King of Han's offer and appointed King of Han as Zhao'an.

This country, which was the last strong competitor for most of the seven Warring States period, finally died, ended its performance on the stage of history, and ended in a sad end.

South Korea is dead.

Zhao He was still very happy after hearing the news of South Korea's demise.

The expectation is definitely expected, but as the saying goes, only the money that really comes into your wallet can be considered your own. Today, South Korea is a matter of silence for Zhao He.

Therefore, the government decrees that had been prepared were forwarded from Zhao He and would be issued by Handan soon.

South Korea's territory will be divided into three counties.

The first county is Hedong County, which still uses Anyi as the county, and remains the same.

The second county is Sanchuan County, which was renamed Luoyang and was the capital of Sanchuan County. The county includes Yiyang, Xincheng, Gongxian, Yangwu and other cities.

The third county is Yingchuan County, which uses Yangdi as the county seat, and includes Xinzheng, Yanling, Yingyin, Yingyang, Changshe and other cities.

At this point, all the land in China north of the Yellow River and most of the Central Plains areas south of the Yellow River north of the Huai River are occupied by Zhao State.

But this is not the end, and the war continues.

By now, almost all the people in the entire border of Zhao State have begun to boil.

Everyone has realized one thing, that is, the unified time period is approaching, and it is likely that it will be fully realized within one year!

After Le Cheng's troops were successful, Zhao State had three battlefields left in Shouchun, Qianzhong where Zhao He was personally commanded, and Le Yi went south to Jiameng Pass.

This time, Zhao He did not let his ministers take away his limelight again.

Shouchun City finally collapsed under the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery.

"Master, Master, Zhao Jun has entered the city!" In the Shouchun Palace City, a member of the Jing clan hurriedly appeared in front of Zhao Qi, reporting the news to Jingyang with an expression of a disaster.

Jing Yang, who was sleeping on a wife's thigh, was startled and stood up: "Is the city broken?"

The Jing clerk nodded anxiously and said anxiously: "Yes, the Zhao army is about to come to the palace city. Master, please find a way to retreat!"

Jing Yang asked, "Where is Qu Dang?"

The Jing clerk was stunned for a moment and shook his head to express his lack of knowledge.

Qu Mansion.

In the lobby, many Qu clan members gathered here, with fear and confusion on their faces.

"Master, it's time!" The head of the family Luo Zhenluo could not hide his anxiety: "The Zhao army has entered the city. If this continues, the bloodline of the Qu clan will be gone."

Qu Dang, the leader of the Qu clan, was wearing military uniform, and looked at Luo Zhenluo with a calm expression. He suddenly asked a question: "Luo Jiazai, when did you secretly get in touch with the people of Zhao?"

Luo Zhenluo was surprised and hurriedly said, "The patriarch misunderstood, I'm the minister--"

A scream sounded, and Luo Zhenluo staggered back, with a fatal blood hole in his chest, looking at Qu Dang who had drawn his sword in disbelief.

With a bang, Luo Zhenluo's body fell to the ground.

Qu Dang did not take back the blood-stained sword, but looked around the people present and said something calmly.

"When the head of the family Qu Yuan was in power, although my Qu family was not as strong as the Jing family Zhao family, and was often regarded as an alien and excluded, why did Qu family still survive for many years?"

"Because my Qu family is not loyal to me, but Chu State, and the king!"

"Qu's family has been loyal to the Great Chu for hundreds of years. Although they have not made any great contributions, they have always worked diligently and remained loyal to their ministers."

"This man Zhao Qi colluded with Zhao State to kill the previous king, so I betray him and Jingyang to join forces, just to restore the bright world of Da Chu and allow the previous king to rest in peace under the nine springs."

"The people of Zhao thought that in this way, I would take Qu to surrender to Zhao. I want to say today--No."

"Qu's family will not surrender."

"The State of Chu has raised the Qu family for six hundred years. Today, the Qu family repays his life with 600 lives in the clan!"

Speaking of this, Qu Dang laughed and walked forward.
