Chapter 200 Chaos resumes

After Wu Qi got to know the Huai Kingdom, he began to assist Wang Pu in governing the country according to the development of the Huai Kingdom. At the same time, Wu Qi also tried to improve the system of the Huai Kingdom.

Wu Qi reformed the military system of Huai State, strengthened military training, rewarded farming and fighting, and prohibited Ding people from being idle and not doing farming.

Those who produce a lot of grain and cloth can be exempted from labor and taxes, and are awarded agricultural officials to guide others in farming, and are notified of rewards every year.

Encourage commerce, abolish tax cards set up in various places, and replace them with unified collection by the state. All goods must be traded in designated markets. If traded elsewhere, violators will be severely fined.

In the past, local governments would set up tax cards at various passes and water and land thoroughfares to collect taxes. This method of tax collection can easily lead to corruption and multiple tax collections. This is not good for the central government's control of finance and taxation.

Therefore, Wu Qi ordered these private tax cards to be closed.

Let all merchants go to the markets in each city to sell goods.

Selling goods at designated locations not only facilitates transactions, but also facilitates the country's tax collection.

Of course, this method is not foolproof. But after all, it is more advanced than before. At the same time, reducing the checkpoints will also promote the prosperity of business, thus bringing higher taxes to Huai State.

At the same time, farming was rewarded, and a twenty-level nobility system based on military merit was promulgated to encourage war. At the same time, in order to curb land annexation, additional taxes were levied on those who owned more than a thousand acres of land.

The county system was implemented in the Huai State, with the county as the local administrative unit, and counties, townships, towns, and villages were established under the county. The previous local administrative system of the Huai State was standardized.

At the same time, after the county and township system was implemented, local recruitment was also carried out in accordance with this to improve the mobilization ability of the Huai State.

Just as the Huai Kingdom was undergoing further reforms, waves appeared again in the Central Plains.

After South Korea and Zhao learned about Wu Qi's escape, the pressure on the two countries suddenly eased a lot, and they no longer felt the same fear as before.

Without Wu Qi's deterrence, Zhao State has also become stronger and stronger after more than ten years of reforms, and once again wants to intervene in the affairs of the Central Plains.

On the other side, the Marquis of Wei was dissatisfied with the delay in sending troops to Zhao last time and wanted to cause trouble for Zhao.

The State of Zhao wanted to go south to the Central Plains. Taking advantage of the entanglement between the State of Wei and the State of Qin, the State of Zhao sent troops to attack the Wei State and defeated seven cities in a row. Originally, the State of Wei only had a hundred miles of land left, and the seven cities were captured by the State of Wei.

Almost only the capital and the cities close to the capital are left.

The Marquis of Wei asked the State of Wei for help.

When the Marquis of Wei learned that Zhao was attacking, he was furious and immediately led a large army to fight against the State of Zhao. Although Wu Qi was gone from Wei, the soldiers of Wei were still there, and the Marquis of Wei was equally capable of commanding battles. The war between the State of Zhao and the State of Wei was huge.

defeat.

In order to punish Zhao for delaying the march last time and with the intention of developing into the Central Plains, the Marquis of Wei found South Korea to join forces. Wei and South Korea jointly attacked Zhao. Not only did the land captured by Zhao from Wei be recovered by Wei,

Even the Wei-Korean coalition crossed the Yellow River to attack Zhongmou, the old capital of Zhao.

Seeing this situation, Marquis Zhao quickly sent envoys to ask for help from Qi and Chu. Qi was defeated by Huai and then drove Yan away. The country's strength was greatly damaged, so it did not send many troops.

After the King of Chu received Zhao's request for help, he was immediately overjoyed. You must know that Wei had snatched a large amount of land from Chu before. Now that Wei is attacking Zhao, the alliance of the three Jins has broken down, and he immediately agreed to send troops to Zhao.

The King of Chu summoned Jing Mu and asked: "Jing Qing, the State of Zhao is asking for help. Should our army attack the State of Wei now?"

"Your Majesty, it is unwise to attack at this time. Zhao and Wei are fighting. If we intervene too early, Zhao will suffer little loss. However, Wei's army is at its peak. If we rescue Zhao by then, our army will also suffer heavy losses."

"I once saw a snipe and a clam fighting by the river, but in the end a fisherman got all the snipe and clam. At this time, Wei and Zhao were fighting, just like the snipe and clam. I, the state of Chu, can be a fisherman."

"After the fierce battle between Wei and Zhao, our army can dispatch a large army to the north to rescue Zhao, and at the same time seize the land occupied by Wei."

The King of Chu immediately agreed to Jing Mu's suggestion, and soon the army was ready to go out, but his troops remained motionless. It was not until Zhao could no longer hold on that he sent troops to attack Wei.

Jingmu personally led his army to attack the State of Wei. The State of Wei did not expect the attack of Chu State because of its large army attacking Zhao. Therefore, it was caught off guard and suffered successive defeats. Several cities were taken away by the State of Chu. However, the State of Wei originally suppressed the State of Zhao.

The army was also affected.

After learning that Chu had sent troops, the morale of the State of Zhao greatly increased. The army of the State of Zhao, which had been retreating in successive defeats, once again regrouped and resisted the State of Wei.

After the Marquis of Wei learned that Qi State and Chu State had sent troops to rescue, he was worried that Wei State would suffer losses and wanted to lead a large army to rescue. However, Zhao State took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Wei State was attacked by Chu State and Zhao State and suffered successive defeats.

Chu State even reached the edge of the Yellow River.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Wei was not a mediocre person. After the initial panic, he quickly stabilized his position and commanded the soldiers of Wei to fight against the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Zhao.

They blocked the armies of the Three Kingdoms and even started to counterattack. For a time, the Central Plains was raging with war.

However, in the end, Wei State was stronger and Wei's soldiers were still strong. After a period of confrontation, they began to attack again and drove back the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms.

Even though the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms retreated, they still occupied some lands of Wei.

A great battle between Wei and Zhao completely broke the alliance between the three Jin states. Zhao and Wei fell out.

After the alliance of the three Jins was destroyed, Chu, Qi, and Qin all breathed a sigh of relief. After the alliance of the three Jins, the coalition forces were too powerful.

Neither the Chu State nor the Qi State were sure of dealing with the three Jin alliance.

After the Wei State saw that the Zhao State had completely turned against them, the Marquis of Wei did not care much and immediately used the secret hand left by Marquis Wen to support the Zhao Guo Gongzi Sheng in his bid for the position of Zhao Marquis.

Originally, after his predecessor Zhao Hou died of illness, he did not pass the throne to his son, but passed it to his brother's son as agreed, which made Zhao Sheng very dissatisfied.

After Zhao Hou ascended the throne, he wanted to raise an army, but was stopped by Wei Hou. Now that Zhao and Wei were fighting each other, and they were fighting each other, Wei Hou immediately no longer had any scruples and directly sent troops to help Zhao Sheng.

Because the State of Zhao moved its capital to Handan and carried out reforms, the interests of many nobles in the State of Zhao were harmed. Therefore, after Zhao Sheng launched a rebellion, many nobles of the State of Zhao immediately supported him. With the support of the Marquis of Wei, Zhao Sheng's strength

Rapid improvement.

When the Marquis of Zhao learned about Zhao Sheng's rebellion, he was furious and immediately ordered the army to quell the rebellion.

The two armies fought in Handan. As a result, after Zhao Hou's reform, the army was stronger. Zhao Sheng was no match for him. He was defeated and had to flee to Wei overnight.
