Daqin: Zulong Overheard My Rebellion Plan

Chapter 168 Your Majesty, It's Really Gone, There's Really Not A Single Grain Left!

The development of the matter was as expected.

After Dun Ruo read Wang Ying and Meng Tian's military report in the court hall, Wang Wan went out without hesitation and bowed his hand.

"Your Majesty, I also hope that Daqin can eliminate the safety hazards of the northern frontier and Qianshou in one battle."

"But it's impractical!"

"Tou Manchester City has far exceeded the furthest distance that Daqin can fight."

"Transporting ten shi of corn to Jiuyuan City, the corvee had to eat eight shi on the way, and in the end only two shi could be delivered.

"This is just sending food to Jiuyuan City."

"According to Wang Jianjun's Kun map, transporting one hundred shi of corn to Manchester City may only deliver one or two shi in the end!"

"Extravagant, too rich!"

Daqin has no means of transportation such as trains and trucks, not even a tricycle!

It is even more impractical to transport grain and grass with cattle and horse-drawn carts.

Because Daqin didn't have so many cattle and horses.

All the cattle had to plow the fields, and the only rough horses were only enough to transport heavy weapons such as swords and armor.

It was the corvees who carried poles on their shoulders and carried two baskets, and transported more than 90% of the military supplies to the front line.

But the corvee also needs to eat!

It would be fine to transport grain and grass within the territory of Daqin, and the cities along the way could provide some meals.

But if it is transported to Manchester City, the corvee can only eat the grain in the basket to satisfy their hunger.

The number of days that two baskets of grain are enough to feed the corvee is the maximum combat radius of Daqin.

And Manchester City is already at the extreme distance of this combat radius!

Yan Zhengchu also looked at Ying Zheng very sincerely.

"Your Majesty, the battle to subdue Hetao has already emptied the food and grass that Daqin Jinfa can use.

"The Daqin Grain Depot can't hold it anymore!"

"Let Daqin's national strength slow down!"

All the courtiers shook their heads helplessly, and even the warlike generals sighed regretfully.

"Hateful, what a great opportunity, to be missed in vain!"

"It's just that I, Daqin, have experienced too many wars in these years, and my foundation has been emptied.

"No way, this battle really can't be won!"

Wang Ben frowned, and his heart was full of doubts.

Why did Yinger take the initiative to invite the Northern Expedition?

This is not in line with Yinger's character!

What the hell happened on the front lines?

Ying Zheng was also full of doubts.

Ying Zheng is very clear about the problems Yan Zhengchu and Wang Wan mentioned.

Ying Zheng believes that Wang Ying is also very clear.

But since Wang Ying is well aware of this problem, why did he take the initiative to ask for a fight?

Listening to the persuasion of all the courtiers, in the end Yingzheng chose to believe in Wang Ying.

After all, this is my own cub!

Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Yan Shangqing, if all the grain in the grain depot is mobilized, how many soldiers and horses are enough to support the north to Manchester City々~?"

Yan Zhengchu said decisively, "Ten thousand people at most!"

"And you must go and return quickly, and the time cannot exceed three months!"

"Ten thousand people? Too few!"

Yan Zhengchu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the annual salary of officials and nobles cannot be moved, and the food for corvees and prisoners has been reduced to the limit."

"After deducting those immovable grains and taking out these grains, there is really no grain of corn in Curry!"

Ying Zheng frowned upon hearing this.

It's not that I don't want to support Ying'er, it's because the national power doesn't allow it!

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng spoke up.

"Pass down my orders, and the supervising army Wang Ying alone will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Manchester City in the north!"

"If Wang Jianjun is confident that he can solve the logistics, he can withdraw up to 50,000 soldiers and horses."

"Within three months, Wang Ying's troops must return to Daqin."

Hearing these words, all the courtiers were stunned and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.

After a few breaths, Wang Wan was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Wang Jianjun is loyal and brave, but he has never had the experience of leading an army."

"Besides, Wang Jianjun has no title, how can he lead 50,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Wang Ben also cupped his hands vigorously: "Your Majesty, how much the dog can do will be clear in the end.

"Gouzi simply does not have the ability to lead 50,000 troops, let alone make a surprise attack on Manchester City and other major events.

"I hope His Majesty will take it back!"

Seeing that Wang Ben himself had spoken out to persuade him, all the courtiers no longer had any scruples.

In the Great Qin Dynasty Hall, there was a rare occasion where all civil servants and military generals persuaded Yingzheng together.

After all, no matter Wang Ying's own identity, title and resume.

Even the current situation of the Daqin Grain Depot is not enough to support Wang Ying to lead the army in the northern expedition to Fucheng.

However, in the face of all the courtiers' bitter persuasion, Ying Zheng remained as unmoved as a mountain and did not waver in the slightest.

Just like what Ying Zheng said to Dun Ruo.

My nephew, who has always been rebellious and wanted to rebel, finally did something that contributed to Daqin.

How could Ying Zheng, an uncle, not support him?

More importantly, Yuanzheng knew that Wang Ying had the ability to predict.

Although Wang Ying's prophecy was not timely, it was enough for Wang Ying to take the lead.

With Wang Ying's cautious temperament, since he dared to make such a military strategy, it shows that Manchester City has a great chance of winning this Northern Expedition.

Although Ying Zheng doesn't know what Wang Ying's specific plan is, this does not prevent Ying Zheng from trusting Wang Ying.

It wasn't until all the courtiers got tired of exhorting and persuading, and their voices became quieter, that Ying Zheng asked back.

"Does my order violate the laws of Qin?"

All the courtiers were dumbfounded.

What does this battle have to do with Qin Law?

This battle is related to Daqin's current national conditions!

Li Si bite the bullet and cupped his hands: "In the "Military Regulations", it is not stipulated that the supervising army cannot command troops."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Since it does not violate the laws of Qin [then this matter will go away like this!"

Yan Zhengchu said pitifully: "Your Majesty, Daqin's grain depot..."

Ying Zheng said decisively: "I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me any more!"

All the courtiers looked at each other, and they could see the deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

They are important ministers, but who can disobey Ying Zheng's decision?

Even Wang Ben, who was the most worried, could only bow his hands.

"Little general, follow orders!"

Ying Zheng nodded slowly: "That's very good."

"Meng Shangqing, draft the imperial edict and issue it immediately!"

Three days later.

"I'm such a hard worker!"

"Oh~"

Looking at Jiuyuan City not far away, he sighed helplessly.

First ran from Xianyang to Jiuyuan City, then ran back from Jiuyuan City, and then ran back from Xianyang City.

In just half a month, Dunruo ran continuously for 2,500 kilometers!

Who can bear this!

What made Dunruo even more tired was that he had traveled such a long distance, and he couldn't go to the city to rest after arriving at the place.

Because he didn't come here to pass orders.

Some staggered and got off the horse, Dun Ruo applied medicine to his bloody thigh while watching a group of messengers enter Jiuyuan City.

Two quarters of an hour later, the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Feng Jie unfolded the silk cloth and spoke in a deep voice.

"Order General Meng Tian to guard Jiuyuan City, form an east-west encirclement with Deputy General Yang Duanhe, and try our best to catch the Hu thieves."

"Order the supervising army Wang Ying to lead the army northward to attack Touman City."

"The imperial court will provide enough supplies for 10,000 people for three months, and Wang Jianjun can lead 10,000 to 50,000 troops as appropriate.

"Within three months, regardless of whether the city of Touman is breached or not, Wang Jianjun's troops must return to the territory of Daqin."

"In the twenty-eighth year of Qin Wangzheng, Tian Er Yue day."

Meng Tian and Wang Ying bowed their hands together and spoke together.

"The last general/minister, lead the decree!"

Standing up straight, Meng Tian urgently looked at Feng Jie.

"Feng Shilang, why did Your Majesty order Wang Jianjun to lead the Northern Expedition?"

"Shouldn't Ben continue the Northern Expedition?"

"Even if it's not the Northern Expedition of this general, it should be the Northern Expedition of the general under his command!"

Wang Ying also looked at Feng Jie full of doubts: "Let me lead the Northern Expedition as well."

"Why did you lead an army of 10,000 to 50,000 as appropriate?"

Brother Zheng, what the hell are you doing!

This is too childish!

Feng Jie said helplessly: "Your Majesty's thoughts, the officials don't know."

"But the grain and grass in the Daqin Granary are indeed only enough for 10,000 soldiers and horses to go to the Northern Expedition for three months."

"These food and grass have drained all the shares that Daqin can distribute this year. Zheng (Nuo Qian Zhao)

"If there is another war or natural disaster, Daqin will have no food to allocate."

Feng Jie looked at Wang Ying seriously: "During the court meeting, all the courtiers were admonishing Your Majesty.

"However, His Majesty seems to have great trust in Wang Shilang, so he made this order against all opinions."

Wang Ying couldn't help falling into silence, and even felt a little warm in her heart.

He deserves to be the emperor through the ages who can make so many civil servants and military generals die for him.

Brother Zheng, good man!

When my rebellion succeeds, I will definitely help you repair the mountain!

Seeing Wang Ying fell silent, Meng Tian thought Wang Ying was under too much pressure, and immediately said: "Wang Jianjun, you are just supervising the army, and you have no responsibility to command the army."

"If you really don't want to lead the army, I will write the military report with you to reject it!"

But Wang Ying shook his head: "There is no need to do that."

"Isn't this the supervisor's army leading the Northern Expedition?"

"This decree, this supervisor has taken over!"

Seeing the firmness in Wang Ying's eyes, Meng Tian was a little surprised, but also nodded happily: "As expected of a general!"

"I don't know how many soldiers Wang Jianjun wants to lead to the Northern Expedition?"

Wang Ying stretched out five fingers and said firmly, "Fifty thousand!"

Is this supervising army someone who can't afford to feed 50,000 troops?

Brother Zheng, who do you look down upon!.
