Chapter 291 Mrs. Pear Flower's Visit
In the battle at the Boneyard, Song Yan wiped out 200,000 elites from Yan and Zhao. Therefore, the domestic forces of the two countries were already stretched to the limit.
Otherwise, they would not have sent envoys to negotiate with Song Yan, and even in order to appease Qi, they would still be willing to return the territory of Qi that was taken away earlier.
What Yan Zhao and Zhao did not expect was that Song Yan actually opened his mouth and asked the two countries to compensate the astronomical military expenses of one billion dollars, which was a full five years of tax revenue. Not a second-rate country.
Seeing this, the kings of Yan and Zhao both rejected this extremely unreasonable demand for compensation.
But what they didn't expect was that, just after they refused, Song Yan actually sent troops to attack their two countries.
Although the battle at the Boneyard caused a serious loss of troops between Yan and Zhao, they did not have the strength to fight in a single battle.
Therefore, after receiving this news, both Yan and Zhao were very angry and decided to join forces again to teach Song Yan a lesson.
Just when the two kingdoms of Yan and Zhao were preparing to continue to organize a coalition to attack Qi.
There was a piece of news that reached the ears of King Zhao and King Yan.
In just three days, the 20,000 troops led by Zhao Yan and Gu Min had conquered two county towns.
There are two reasons why the Qi army was able to conquer the four counties at such a fast speed. First, the Qi army had mastered a very powerful and terrifying weapon, that is, explosives and bombs.
No matter how sturdy the city walls are, they often collapse as soon as they are blown up by explosives.
At the same time, during the battle, the soldiers of Qi State all carried two grenades. During the battle, throwing the grenades into the crowd of hostile soldiers could kill a large area at once.
Second, because of the Battle of the Boneyard, the two countries of Yan and Zhao lost 100,000 elites each, so there was a serious shortage of soldiers in the county town.
Under the combination of two and two, the soldiers of the four counties of Yan and Zhao were defeated and captured without being able to resist effectively.
What made the kings of Yan and Zhao itch even more was that after Qi conquered the four counties, they dispatched local officials to take over the four counties, and announced on the spot that the agricultural tax would be reduced or exempted for three years, and three years later, the agricultural tax would be reduced. Only two percent.
As soon as a measure appeared, coupled with the good military discipline of the Qi army, after the city was broken, there was no situation of soldiers robbing and harassing ordinary civilians.
Therefore, in less than three days, the civilians of the four counties had completely returned to Qi.
After leaving a small number of troops to defend the city, Zhao Yan and Gu Min led the army again and continued to attack the two countries of Yan and Zhao.
Three days later, Zhao Yan attacked the next county again.
Five days later, Gu Min also captured the next county.
Eight days later, Zhao Yan and Gu Min each took another county.
This made the four counties of Yan and Zhao fall into the hands of Qi, and Qi jumped into thirteen counties in one fell swoop, becoming the country with the largest territory on the Shenzhou Continent.
And Yan Zhao and Zhao two countries reassembled a group of troops, also 200,000 people.
However, compared to the 200,000 people last time, the 200,000 people this time are not as good as the elites last time.
Linshui County, General's House.
Song Yan was a little strange. After defeating the Yan-Zhao coalition, the system reminded him to complete the third task and get a reward of 500 million fame points.
But what puzzled him was that the prompt to complete the first task had not come.
"Could it be that we need to take back all the lost territory of Qi before we can complete the first mission?"
Just when he was thinking about the task, someone came to report that the two countries of Yan and Zhao formed another 200,000 coalition troops, ready to attack Qi.
"Good come!"
Hearing this news, Song Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed. I am afraid that these 200,000 troops are the last cards of Yan and Zhao.
So, five days later, Song Yan led an army of 100,000 to the north to fight the second batch of coalition forces from Yan and Zhao.
Of the 100,000 troops this time, only 20,000 are veterans, and the other 80,000 are recruits.
The newly recruited 80,000 recruits have been trained for more than a month, and they can be regarded as the prototype of the soldiers.
However, if you want to truly form an army, you need a real battle, which is why Song Yan brought 80,000 new troops to the battlefield.
Eight days later, the 100,000-strong army led by Song Yan and the second batch of coalition forces from Yan and Zhao met at the foot of Tongtian Peak.
This time, Song Yan also adopted the strategy of leading the wolf cavalry battalion to charge first.
After the last battle, although the Wolf Riding Camp was damaged, no one died. After this period of training, the wounded have fully recovered.
Therefore, this time the wolf riding camp is even more ferocious.
After several dashes, the combined forces of Yan and Zhao collapsed, and then Gu Min and Zhao Yan each led 50,000 troops to cover up the combined forces of the two countries.
The battle lasted four hours.
The second batch of coalition forces from Yan and Zhao were once again wiped out. However, the number of casualties on Qi's side was far greater than last time, mainly because 80% of the new troops in the army this time.
Song Yan was quite satisfied with this. Although the casualties had reached 8,000, the recruits had grown up after this battle. Then, there were nearly 80,000 more elite soldiers in Qi.
When Yan Zhao and Zhao learned that the second batch of coalition forces had been wiped out again, the two countries panicked.
And King Zhao and King Yan regretted it for no apparent reason. If they had agreed to Song Yan's conditions, there would not have been such consequences. After the defeat of the second batch of coalition forces, there were no more than 50,000 combat troops in the two countries.
These 50,000 soldiers are used to garrison the major cities and are scattered all over the place.
Therefore, they could not draw any extra troops to fight against Song Yan.
So, negotiations resumed.
However, this time, Song Yan's request is even more unreasonable. In order to quell Qi's anger, Yan and Zhao must first return Qi's territory, and secondly, the eight counties and cities that were taken away by Song Yan will also be officially assigned to Qi. under the name of the country.
Finally, there are war reparations.
The last time it was compensation of one billion yuan per country, this time, the price was raised to 1.8 billion yuan.
Facing Song Yan's lion's big mouth, Yan Zhao and Zhao did not have the courage to refuse, so they had to pinch their noses and agree.
January after the negotiation.
The state of Qi officially took over the territory before the state of Qi, with six county towns. At one time, the territory of the state of Qi jumped to nineteen county towns, while the two countries of Yan and Zhao were reduced from first-class powers to second-class countries.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of assisting the Prince of Qi, Jiang Dan, to restore his country, and rewarded with a reputation worth 100 million!"
Hearing the sound of the system, Song Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first task and the third task have been completed, so there is only the second task left, capturing the hearts of two of the four beauties.
Just when he was thinking about how to complete the second task, Chun He came to report, but it was Mrs. Lihua, one of the four beauties, who came to visit.
"Nima, when drowsiness comes, someone will send pillows!"
With a secret cry in his heart, Song Yan went outside the mansion in person to meet Mrs. Lihua. He was even more curious, how beautiful are the so-called four beauties?
