Chapter 399: Zhao State sneak attacks on us, Chu State also joins in the fun? Then fight!
“No!”
“No more!”
Ying Chengyu suddenly realized something was wrong and asked quickly: “Where is the map of Kunyu!”
When Ying Zheng saw this, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately waved his right hand, and Wang Bo and other four ministers unfolded a giant map of Kun on the main hall.
Ying Chengyu took a few steps forward, his eyes scanned back and forth on the map of Kun, and he spoke urgently and seriously: "My brother has had many confrontations with Chu Shangzhu Guoyan and Chu Zuo Yinhuan."
"This is The two of them focus on righteousness and combine with oddities, so they will not take risks easily."
"Furthermore, these two people have considerable influence in Chu State. As long as Chu State's national strength can still support it, The King of Chu will not easily dismiss their request for help."
Ying Chengyu took the wooden pole handed over by Wang Bo and pointed at the city on the map of Kun to outline two marching directions.
“Now Chu Shangzhu Guoyan led his troops westward to Jingling, or he intended to use the main force to hold back General Jian’s troops in order to regain the territory of Jingling, Dengcheng, Yufu, and Wancheng. .”
"In the end, a forward military stronghold was formed with Yingcheng, the old capital of the Chu State, as the center and Wushan and Funiu Mountains as its backbone. This threatened the Bashu region of Qin and opened up a new battlefield for the war between Qin and Chu."
"Either they intend to use the Han River or Danyang to go upstream, and then point their swords at Xianyang City, and defeat our Qin capital in one battle!"
"However, no matter what Chu State wants, Chu State must consider it. Seeing the threat this move poses to our country, Great Qin will definitely send heavy troops to resist this battle!”
The distance between Xianyang City and Chu State seems to be very far, but in fact it is. It can also be very close.
As long as Xiang Yan can capture the front lines of Dengcheng, Fancheng and Lucheng, he can choose to go north to Danshui, pass through Xicheng, Wuguan, Shang and then directly enter Neishi County from Lantian County!
Or you can go west to the Han River, take the Changli, Wudang, and Hanzhong lines from Yongdu to Guanzhong, and then launch an attack on Qin from west to east!
The defense system built with Jingling, Yancheng, and Dengcheng as the center was the bridgehead for Qin to guard the Han River and Dan River. It limited the water war between Qin and Chu to a relatively small area, which provided a good foundation for the Qin Dynasty. Reduce the pressure on the rear garrison.
For Great Qin, even if it surrenders Yingcheng, the former capital of Chu, it cannot give up the first-line defense system of Jingling, Yancheng, and Dengcheng!
Ying Chengxuan pointed the wooden stick in his hand at Dahongshan: "It is impossible for Chu Shangzhu to have thought of this."
"So with the temperament of Chu Shangzhu State, it is impossible for him to march westward with only 80,000 troops."
"If my prediction is correct."
"The main force of Chu State is infantry. They are marching along the Dahong Mountain line towards Yancheng and Dengcheng!"
"The total strength of the troops is not inferior to that of Chen Cheng, but it will not be far behind."
Retracting the wooden stick gently. Slapping his palms, Ying Chengyu said firmly: "Unless Chu Shangzhu and Guo Yan's troops are just bait for a feint attack."
"Of course, I think this possibility is not big."
Let Xiang Yan be used as bait?
Why does Qu Huan do that?
Not to mention that Zuo Yin's military power was slightly worse than that of Shangzhu Kingdom.
Based on Xiang Yan’s status in the heart of King Chu, it is impossible for Xiang Yan to become a bait!
Wei Liao immediately handed over his hand: "I second the proposal!"
"Although our territory of Great Qin is currently in a weak position, this is only because our territory of Great Qin is busy with the autumn harvest and has no time to recruit troops."
"Our territory of Great Qin is now in a weak position. It is so vast that even if one city and one area is lost, there will still be time to recruit soldiers to meet the invading enemy."
"Since our Lord Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty has not yet gone out to fight, it is impossible for the kings and ministers of the Chu State not to take precautions against it."
< br>“I believe that Chu Shangzhu’s troops must not be less than 150,000.”
"Unless these soldiers and horses are just bait!"
Wei Liao's judgment was the same as that of Ying Chengyu.
In addition to the list of reasons mentioned by Ying Chengxuan, Wei Liao also had the most important reason.
Ying Chengyu, who once rode on horseback in the capital of the Chu Kingdom, was still staying in Neishi County to teach his disciples!
Even if the Chu State remembers eating and not fighting, can it forget last year's disastrous defeat?
How dare Xiang Yan attack the southeastern territory of Qin with only 80,000 troops and horses!
Ying Chengyu waved his hand: "The officer's words are wrong."
"I am still far behind the generals."
"I am still far behind. He cannot pose a strategic threat to the Chu State like Lord Wu An."
This is what Ying Chengxuan said in his heart.
It doesn't matter if others don't know what you are capable of, but you can't let yourself drift away!
Wang Jian and Li Mu are still alive.
What qualifications do I have to surpass these two people and claim to be able to pose a strategic deterrent to the Chu State?
However, Yang Hu and other generals all handed over their hands: "The last general thinks that what the captain said is reasonable!"
Seeing that the generals had unified their views, Han Cang couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "Chu State An additional 250,000 troops have been sent to Chencheng, and the number of troops in the direction of Jingling is not much different from that in the direction of Chencheng?”
"Doesn't that mean that the Chu State will invest more than 400,000 troops in this battle?!"
Han Cang's first reaction was that the Chu State is really rich!
You can actually afford horse chews for so many soldiers and horses!
Then Han Cang realized another problem.
The State of Zhao sent 300,000 troops, and the State of Chu sent more than 400,000 troops. If Qin did not want to sit still and wait for death, it could only send heavy troops to resist!
Han Cang almost burst into tears: "Your Majesty! Colleagues!"
"This year's food has not been confiscated yet!"
Han Cang waited and waited, and finally the Zheng Guo Canal was repaired. , looking forward to the arrival of Changan Plow.
We finally looked forward to the autumn harvest, but we are just a short step away from enjoying the joy of the harvest.
As a result, you told me that no one collected the grain?
Thinking of the golden millet seedlings in the fields that were about to sprout and become moldy, Han Cang's eyes were already red.
He feels bad!
Wei Liao sighed helplessly: "It's too late."
"The Chu and Zhao Kingdoms took advantage of our great Qin's autumn harvest to launch a brazen attack!" "Watching the battle report, we will know that the Chu and Zhao Kingdoms They are all sudden attacks and violent attacks, and they rush to the next city as soon as they arrive."
"Chu and Zhao did not give their soldiers time to rest and recuperate, and they did not give me, Great Qin, time to harvest autumn grain!"
"If we, Great Qin, sit back and watch the defeat on the front line and only focus on harvesting grain, what will happen to our Great Qin in this battle?" A large territory will be lost!"
Han Cang said anxiously: "It's easy for the captain to say."
"What will the soldiers eat if they can't harvest the autumn grain?"< br>
“The soldiers and horses moved forward before the food and grass were moved. Now that the food and grass are gone, even if our Great Qin sends heavy troops to resist, how long can we hold on!”
"If our Daqin has no food supplies in a few months, the soldiers on the front line will definitely collapse at a moment's notice, or even defect on the spot."
"What awaits our Daqin then will be an even more disastrous defeat!"
If we don't send troops, the enemy will seize large areas of territory and acres of land, and single-handedly destroy the advantageous situation gained through years of management.
Sending troops and not having enough food to support the army for a long battle is likely to cause an even greater defeat.
This seems to be an unsolvable problem.
Ying Chengxuan replied with a cold voice: "I love peace and pursue self-sufficiency to cultivate the people of Qin."
"However, I will not forget it. As long as I can remember, I Da Qin often sends troops outside after the autumn harvest."
"This move is not only to seize other countries' territories, but also to seize other countries' grain and grass."
"This year, Zhao and Chu will actually. Do we, Da Qin, regard it as a granary? "
Do you want to play with Da Qin like, "My neighbor is my granary?"
Da Qin is the ancestor of the gun garrison!
Zhao, Han, Wei, Chu, which country has not been regarded as a granary by the Qin Dynasty?
Even the barren Yueshi, Xiongnu and Qiang served as the granary of Qin!
Due to the expansion of territory, the reclamation of fertile fields, and the emergence of the Chang'an plow, Great Qin paid more and more attention to self-sufficiency.
But this does not mean that Da Qin has forgotten its housekeeping skills!
Ying Chengyu bowed his hands and saluted again: "My brother, please advise me again."
"Send out heavy troops to conquer the enemy's country and feed the enemy!"
"Since Zhao and Chu do not want us to The head of Da Qin and Guizhou eats the food grown in our land of Da Qin.”
“Then let the head of Da Qin and Guizhou eat the food grown in the land of Zhao and Chu!”
Follow the previous chapter! After the private advice was rejected by Ying Zheng, Ying Chengyu publicly raised the advice again in the main hall!
Following this, all the generals echoed:
"Zhao attacked us secretly, and Chu also came to join in the fun? Then fight!"
"Yes, I, Da Qin Cheng, am addicted this year. Farming, but if the enemy does not allow us, Da Qin, to farm in peace, then we, Da Qin, will plant the enemy's country into the soil and let the enemy's country become fertilizer for our Da Qin's soil! >
Even Wei Liao and other foreign guests and civil servants all handed over their hands:
"I second the proposal!"
Ying Chengyu's advice is indeed very radical.
But the situation is so critical that emergency measures must be taken to resolve the chaos!
On the high platform, Ying Zheng stood up and spoke in a deep voice: "Chu and Zhao sent their troops in the autumn, and only gave me, Da Qin, two ways."
"One is to live an ignoble existence. , keep this year’s food to fill the Qin people’s stomachs.”
"The other is to send troops to resist and defend the food, territory and honor of Great Qin with blood."
"However, living in an ignoble manner does not belong to Great Qin!"
"Why should I, Great Qin, be afraid of fighting to the death!"< br>
Ying Chengyu and all the generals excitedly shouted: "Great Qin will be victorious!"
Ying Zheng smiled happily: "All generals dare to fight, we, Great Qin, will win!"
< br>
"My dear friends, what do you think should be done in this battle?"
Just as the generals were looking at the map of Kun and thinking, Meng Tian suddenly stepped forward and handed over his hands: "I will report to your Majesty."
"My minister came to the door today to invite travelers from the state of Yan to the palace to discuss matters, but found that there were only a few servants in the residence of the state of Yan."
"The travelers from the state of Yan, the hostages of the state of Yan, and Prince Dan have all escaped. !”
Ying Zheng showed appropriate surprise and anger: “Is this happening?”
Ying Chengyuan looked at Ying Zheng speechlessly, but he couldn't help but admire him.
Look at Ying Zheng’s acting skills!
That’s a natural thing!
The officials of the Qin State were in an uproar: "What does the State of Yan want? Is the King of Yan willing to break the alliance again!"
"I knew that the King of Yan was willing to treat the alliance as a waste, but today I know that the King of Yan is willing to break the alliance again!" Wang Xi is really such a despicable villain!”
"Yan's hostage escaped so quickly. I think King Yan had already expected this battle. The possibility of Yan's participation in the war is very high!"
"If Yan joins forces with Zhao and Chu, we, the Great Qin, will Maybe there will be another world war! "
It is difficult enough for Zhao and Chu to join forces to attack Qin.
The Yan State also wants to join in the fun?
For a time, the already heavy pressure in the hearts of the ministers became even heavier.
Wei Liao stepped forward and handed over his hand: "I think it is true that King Yan is willing to betray the alliance."
"However, King Xi of Yan may not necessarily have the courage to join forces with Zhao and Chu to attack our country Qin."
"Even if King Xi of Yan really wants to attack our country, Qin, as long as we send a general to guard the northeast, we can make the Yan army retreat without a fight!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "What the Lieutenant said is true."
Wei Liao looked at Ying Chengyu: "In my opinion, the person most suitable to lead the army to shock the Yan Kingdom is none other than Lord Chang'an!"
