Chapter 538 Five Years Later
In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, the wind blew the treetops, and the leaves fell gently, flowing along the living water in the mansion to the distance.
In the school, the sound of young reading was faintly heard.
Time flies, spring passes by, autumn comes.
Five years have passed since the last battle between Qin and Zhao, and Jiang Xu is already twenty-four years old this year.
Nong Yu, Yan Lingji, and Xue Nu also gave birth to four sons and two daughters for Jiang Sheng.
After all, Jiang Yu has arrived in the late Warring States Period for nearly twenty years. Everything in the past has long been forgotten. Today, Jiang Yu only cares about this life.
Over the past five years, the world has changed, and the Qin State has become a major trend, and it is eyeing the six eastern countries.
Only two years after the battle between Qin and Zhao, Qin once again sent troops to attack Zhao.
This time, Qin State was fully prepared and put pressure on Yan State first, forcing Yan Dan to enter Qin as a stamina, causing Yan State to be on the wall to watch, and Qi State's 150,000 troops directly attacked Zhao State Rao'an.
In addition, Qin State sent troops to block South Korea's portal, making South Korea unable to assist Zhao State.
In fact, even if Qin does not block South Korea's portal, South Korea will not be able to help Zhao.
After Weizhuang killed prisoners, Han was forced by Qin and Zhao countries, and the King of Han could not withstand the pressure and could only compromise.
Although Weizhuang had military achievements, the King of Han promoted and surrendered in secret, and seized Weizhuang's military power, leaving Weizhuang without any power in South Korea. I heard that he had gone far away and did not know where he was going.
How could Bai Yifei, who was so dear to himself, let his White Armored Army go to war with Qin?
In this way, Zhao State had no ally.
Of course, this is also because Jiang Yu did not exert his strength.
In that battle three years ago, Qin State directly knocked on the gate of Zhao State and captured Hejian, Anyang, Yanmen, Yunzhong and other places at an extremely fast speed, causing Zhao State to lose thousands of miles of land.
The view of Yan State on the wall, Qi State's 150,000 troops fell into the dilemma of two-line combat.
There was already a shortage of food in the country and it was impossible to fight with Qin.
Jiang Qi also secretly intervened in this battle. After prostitution, he ordered Li Mu to lead troops to resist Qin. Jiang Qi led troops to support Rao'an and guard Dai County at the same time.
As soon as Yanmen was broken, Jianghu's Dai County bordered directly with Qin.
Fortunately, the distance between Dai County and Yanmen is actually very far, but the north is vast and sparsely populated, which makes the two places adjacent.
In this battle, Zhao State suffered heavy losses, not only the military strength, but also the loss of national strength, but also the lost land.
At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao, Wei and Han are already unable to take care of themselves. Once Qin goes east, the land of the Three Jins will be powerless.
Although Zhao State had famous generals, the monarch was incompetent and the treasury was empty. The six eastern countries each had their own plans, so it was difficult to unite and join forces.
At this point, Qin's ambitions have become clear. Many knowledgeable people can see Qin's ambitions, but they are powerless.
In this world, who is qualified to let the six Eastern countries join forces again?
People from the six countries should not only have reputation, status and ability, but also convince the six countries so that the six countries can cooperate without reservation.
But now the monarchs of the six eastern countries are incompetent and the court officials are planning themselves. There are only a few famous generals, and no one is willing to submit to anyone.
Three more years have passed.
Just this year, Qin used its power to suppress people and forced Han and Wei to cede their territory.
Wei ceded a large amount of territory, and Han also dedicated Nanyang land to Qin.
That's right, the Qin State had not sent a single army, and only a letter could allow Wei and Han countries to cede their territory.
The general situation of Qin State has been completed.
Since the defeat of Zhao State three years ago, there have been five people in Qin State that can stop it.
The State of Chu may be able to do it, but the Qin forces within Chu have been obstructing this matter.
Qin State sent Nei Shiteng to serve as a false guard in Nanyang, with 200,000 troops, and the troops were directly aimed at South Korea.
At this point, the battle between Qin to destroy the six kingdoms is about to begin.
Jiang Xi has also been operating in Dai County for five years.
At this time, Dai County was far from comparable to five years ago.
After tens of thousands of Hun slaves and the construction of a large number of people in Dai County, the Dai County city has expanded several times compared to before.
The streets in the city are spacious and the houses are exquisite and beautiful.
The buildings such as houses, public places, leisure, shopping are arranged in an orderly manner, and the city is grand and yet orderly.
The city walls around Dai County are made of huge stone cement, fifteen meters high, and countless city defense facilities are built on the top of the city. Even if they face enemies that are several times more than they are, it is not difficult to climb to the top of Dai County.
After the Battle of Zhao and Han five years ago, a large number of refugees did appear in Zhao State.
Xiao He arranged for people to get involved in the refugees in advance and guided the refugees to the Dai County Ding Bureau.
After Jiang Xi expanded Dai County, he also introduced the people of nearby villages and towns into the city.
Nowadays, there are 350,000 citizens in Dai County. Including nearby small towns, villages, etc., there are nearly 600,000 citizens under Jiang Yu's rule.
After Dai County introduced commercial services, Jiang Yu received merchandise tax every year.
In addition, Jiang Yu controlled the trade between the merchants and the Huns in the world, and Jiang Yu, as an intermediary, could get a large intermediary fee every year.
What's more, Jiang Yu still has a large number of industries.
In the early years, the money invested in the construction of Dai County has not only been collected, but Jiang Yu has made a lot of money.
And this profit is a long-term profit.
With this money, Jiang Yan can also expand his power faster.
Now Jiang Yu has 200,000 troops, of which 100,000 are registered soldiers and have the military status of Zhao State. The other 100,000 are Jiang Yu's private soldiers, and Jiang Yu is all supported by Jiang Yu.
A few years ago, Jiang Yu established a camp in the west of Dai County.
The camps in the east, west and north directions, plus Dai County itself, are enough for Jiang Yu to hide 100,000 soldiers.
In addition, the intelligence part under Jiang Qi also expanded its manpower to 20,000, and Xuan Jian and Mo Ya led 8,000 people respectively.
Of course, with such a great power, Jiang Yu cannot have no checks and balances.
Jiang Qi, an organization that cultivates intelligence talents, has taken it back from Xuan Jian and Mo Ya.
Those instructors have mastered the training methods, just follow the steps and train them.
Jiang Yu formed another intelligence organization by the remaining 4,000 people in the intelligence department.
If Xuan Jian is responsible for the world and Mo Ya is responsible for the seven kingdoms, then this intelligence organization is responsible for the defense of Dai County.
His responsibilities are probably similar to those of the Security Bureau in his previous life.
By placing the intelligence part three points and checking and balancing each other, Jiang Yu's eyes and ears will no longer be restricted.
In recent years, Jiang Yu has also taken in many orphans.
Jiang Yu trained these orphans with a system of survival of the fittest. The weak started to perform tasks directly, and those with high talent continued to stay and learn.
Some people learn martial arts, some learn literature, some learn military strategies, and some learn the principles of governing the country.
These people are not old and are all Jiang Yan's future team.
Their task is to help Jiang Xi manage the territory that Jiang Xi has built in the future.
The Craftsman Camp has already met most of Jiang Yu’s requirements, and many things can be used.
Now, everything is ready, but the east wind is not available...
