Daqin: Start With 100,000 Proficiency

"What? Maybe half a year?"

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips delivered by Wang Jian and was very upset. Asking the eunuch to bring the bamboo slips to Li Si and the others, he stood up and walked back and forth with a melancholy expression.

Li Si, Wei Liao, Changping Jun and others looked at Ying Zheng's appearance, took the bamboo slips and opened them, and looked at them seriously.

"Can the stock of grain, grass and ordnance in our Qin State be enough for half a year?"

After Ying Zheng walked away for a while, seeing that Li Si and the others had finished reading the bamboo slips, he asked.

"Your Majesty, if Bashu, Hexi, Beidi, Shangjun and other places are added, it should be enough!"

Li Si bent down and said slowly.

It's not going to court at this moment, and all civil and military officials are not here, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about spreading it.

It was fine if Li Si didn't say it, but after he said it, Ying Zheng's expression became even more "four zero seven". Hearing the names of counties and counties one after another, Ying Zheng frowned. Look at Li Si and the others.

"Why do you even have to use the inventory in Beidi and Shangjun?"

Yingzheng thought that Xianyang's stockpile alone would not be enough to support Wang Jian's army for half a year, but he didn't expect that it would not be enough to add food from Bashu, and he would also need to add Hexi, Beidi, and Shangjun.

This means that in this battle, he has already used the power of the Qin State.

"Your Majesty, just a few months ago when our army conquered Han, we already used a lot of food reserves. In order to keep Qi from interfering with us, Qin destroyed Han and Zhao. During this time, we have been increasing Qi There is grain, and exchange with Qi for pig iron, copper and aluminum, etc.”

Li Si's words were also full of helplessness at the moment.

It is true that Qin's land is fertile, but it does not produce private mines, copper and iron. Can only be purchased from Qi. However, Qi is rich in copper, iron and private mines, but it cannot produce grain. This has always been the reason why Qin and Qi have a good relationship.

However, the successive years of wars have caused the people and Titi of Qi to store up food. In addition, Qin State repeatedly destroyed South Korea and attacked them. The huge expenditure has moved Qin Guo to the core.

The Zhengguo Canal has just been opened to water, and we will not see a good harvest until next year.

After listening to Li Si's words, Ying Zheng returned to the lying position, covering his forehead helplessly.

"Your Majesty, General Meng Wu has returned to Xianyang."

At this time, an eunuch walked into the hall and said.

"Let Meng Aiqing come in."

Ying Zheng said with a blank face.

At this moment, he was completely troubled by the matter of the army's food and grass. In his eyes, Wang Jian is definitely a famous general who can fight well, but he likes confrontation and consumption.

Ying Zheng calculated carefully, if the Six Kingdoms were pacified as Wang Jian did. At least another decade or so.

Ten years! There are several decades in life. He Yingzheng did not dare to think that he would leave this world with regrets like the previous kings. He still has many ideas that have not been realized, and many things that have not been done.

He didn't want to wait ten years.

Soon, an old general in his fifties slowly walked into the hall.

"My humble minister Meng Wu, see Your Majesty!"

The old general bowed his hands and said. Then he looked at Li Si and the others: "I have seen the Prime Minister, I have seen Lord Changping, I have seen Lord Wei Liao..."

Li Si and the others nodded and bowed in return.

"Meng Aiqing has been exhausted all the way, so there is no need to be polite. How is the situation on the border of Chu State?"

In the main hall, Ying Zheng looked at Meng Wu.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and common people of the Chu State are panicking. Because of the death of King Chu You, the Chu State is in turmoil. The Qu, Jing, and Zhao families are all harboring ulterior motives and seeking personal gain for the family."

Meng Wu took everything he heard—wanted to win Zheng Zongming.

Ying Zheng nodded. This may be the only good news he heard today. Then he did not expect Li Si to hand over the bamboo flute to Meng Wu.

Meng Wu looked at the bamboo slips Li Si handed over, looked at Ying Zheng, and then opened the bamboo slips.

"If Meng Aiqing is the commander in chief, how long will it take to capture Handan?"

Meng Wu was still looking at the bamboo slips, and Ying Zheng's words sounded slowly, whether it was Li Si, Wei Liao, or Lord Changping. Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Your Majesty is thinking of changing coaches. Changing coaches just before the battle is a big taboo in soldiers.

But at this moment, neither Li Si nor anyone else stood up to persuade him, because they all knew Ying Zheng's difficulties. If it takes half a year or even a year before Handan is captured, for Qin, the loss will not be afraid of a lot.

One is that Qin State no longer has any grain reserves during this war. The second is that they can only watch the situation in Chu State stabilize and lose the good opportunity to destroy Chu in vain.

So although changing coaches is a big taboo, none of them spoke to dissuade them..

"My lord, if it is true what the general said, I have no choice but to surround Handan and wait for the food and grass in Handan to run out. I also ask the king not to change the commander. It is a taboo to change the commander just before the battle.

If you are not careful, your army will be unstable. "

Meng Wu looked at it for a while, put away the bamboo slips, and bowed to Ying Zheng.

At this moment, Meng Wu didn't know the current situation of Qin State and Yingzheng's difficulties, so he opened his mouth to remind.

"General Meng, it's like this...."

After Meng Wu finished speaking, Li Si looked at him and explained the current situation to Meng Wu in detail.

After learning the reason of everything, Meng Wu shut up. He also understood why Ying Zheng had this idea.

"Li Si! Gather food and grass from various regions and transport them all to the state of Zhao. To ensure that the army has no worries about food and grass."

Finally Ying Zheng spoke. Now that Zhao Guo has been beaten to this point, it is impossible to give up lightly. Can only be desperate to win Handan.

"promise!"

Li Si bowed down to take the order.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes with a headache. He suddenly thought of Xiao Xiao. He thought of Xiao Xiao leading the army to attack Zhao Guo, and took Yanmen County in just two or three days. It would be great if Wang Jian could have such speed.

Thinking about it, Ying Zheng suddenly wanted to see Xiao Xiao immediately. Xiao Xiao is Bai Qi's grandson-in-law and inherited Bai Qi's mantle.

"How many days until Xiao Xiao comes to Xianyang?"

Ying Zheng looks at a eunuch 1.6.

"Go back to the king, the king gave Master Xiao a two-month holiday, and there are still more than fifty days left."

The eunuch bent down and replied.

Ying Zheng shook his head: "It's too long, thirty days, no, order Xiao Xiao to return to Xianyang within fifteen days, the rich want to see him.

Ying Zheng feels that since Xiao Xiao has inherited Bai Qi's mantle, there may be no way to help him capture Handan as soon as possible.

However, Ying Zheng's words stunned Li Si, Wei Liao, Chang Ping Jun and others. General Na Xiao is capable, but in this situation, even the two generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu can't do anything.

If the king easily let Xiao Xiao replace Wang Jian, something might happen.

They looked at each other and frowned.

Of course, they don't know at the moment that Xiao Xiao is Bai Qi's grandson-in-law. .
