Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 191
Sending troops to fight is not only important for strategy, but also very basic food. With enough food for the Qin army, and a large number of troops, how can he fight against it?

As far as Zhao Guo is concerned, although they are on the front line and relatively close to their own country's capital, their food production is already insufficient, so how can there be enough food to supply the army?

Our own army does not have so many people and does not have enough food, and it cannot cut off the enemy's food. How should we fight this battle!
Li Mu couldn't help being a little anxious, no matter how he had no advantage over Zhao Ducheng, and he was not a god, how could he defeat Qin in this situation.

The current food problem is very important. Moreover, Yingzheng used to plant cotton, and a large number of grain production areas in Zhao State were replaced by cotton planting, so that the harvested food would be less and less.

This food is exactly what is needed to lead troops to fight today!
Once this fire is fired, Zhao Guo will definitely not be able to hold on for long.

Li Mu thought about it and reported these things to King Zhao as usual.

King Zhao Mourning was in the palace at this time, anxiously waiting for news from Li Mu, when a messenger hurriedly arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Report..."

"Quickly, what news does General Li Mu have?"

Before the messenger could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the anxious King Zhao Mourning.

"Returning to the king, General Li Mu said that 40 Qin troops have reached the front line, and all of the Qin troops are young and strong men, which are very different from our army. Moreover, General Li Mu is worried about the shortage of food and grass in our country. Please ask the king to collect food and grass to replenish the army in time. "

After King Zhao Mourning heard this, his expression became more and more embarrassing. He did not expect that the Qin army came prepared, and King Zhao himself knew in his heart how the 30 Zhao army in Zhao State got together. Those who walked were called to make up the number, and the common people were unwilling and had no choice. Since they are from Zhao, they should defend their homes and the country.

But now, the food is not enough, and now it is impossible to replace all the cotton planting land with food, and there is no time to rush.

How good is this!
King Zhao Daoxiang looked sad and asked the ministers below.

"I don't know if there is any clever plan for you Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, I think the Qin army is coming so aggressively, they must have made full preparations! Otherwise, we will collect a little more food from the people."

A minister suggested.

"No, we can't do this if we are strong. Conscription has already messed up the people, and now they are collecting food, so how can the people survive?" A nearby minister stepped forward to retort.

"This country is in trouble, so everyone should contribute their own strength, don't they just collect a little food, as for it."

"Your Majesty, you must stop collecting food like ordinary people."

King Zhao Yuxiang thought about it, indeed, the 30 Zhao troops almost aroused the hearts of the people. If this is to control the people's food, and the Qin army is fighting in the world, the people in the country will rebel again, this method will not work.

"Well, let's stop worrying about the people's need for food. The ministers will think about some other things."

"Since this is the case, we will not have enough food, then this can only be done quickly, and we can no longer spend it with Qin."

"You're right. Although our capital is relatively close to the front line, it is convenient for transportation, but the food is limited. If we are collecting food from the people now, it is estimated that the country will be in chaos."

"That's why we have to fight fast, otherwise the food reserves will be empty in the end, and the battle will be lost without a fight."

"Your Majesty, the best thing to do today is to fight with the Qin army quickly."

King Zhao Mourning Xiang nodded, he knew this truth in his heart, and sent messengers to report to General Li Mu, and absolutely must not spend money with the Qin army.

Naturally, Li Mu also knew that it seemed that food management was unclear, so he could only think of other ways to deal with the Qin army. Li Mu's expression became more and more dignified, this battle is not easy to fight.

Not only Zhao Guo knew, Qin King Jian also saw that Zhao Guo was a little anxious, and was eager to fight him.

Wang Jian smiled. After all, his country has enough food and grass, and he can get whatever he wants. Even if Zhao Guo wants to fight quickly, it depends on whether he is willing to fight Zhao Guo, with a face that doesn't matter, and doesn't care. An anxious expression seemed to mean that he hoped to confront Zhao Guo forever.

This made Li Mu very helpless, even if he wanted to fight against the Qin State, the soldiers were very fast, but if the Qin State did not send troops to fight, what could he do.

Now Wang Jian is expected to exhaust all the resources of Zhao State, so Li Mu has no choice but to occupy Zhao State with ease.

At this time, Yingzheng was in the cabinet, discussing the upcoming war with Lu Buwei, Han Fei and others. Now Qin has sent 40 Qin troops, which should not be a problem to deal with Zhao.

Zhao Guo sent 30 Zhao troops to resist Qin's attack. Yingzheng expected these, otherwise how could he continue to defend against Yan's attack based on his current strength.

The relationship between the two countries has always been negative, and almost everyone knows it, and the country of Yan has returned to a loss, and Li Mu, who follows the country of Zhao, has a great relationship.

So now the only thing that worries everyone is Li Mu, and now there is no news from the future, the officials can only wait quietly, but they are not very anxious in their hearts. They always feel that the result of this war must be that Qin State will occupy Zhao State.

Ying Zheng knew it well, he was not as worried as the ministers, after all, he had made so many preparations these days, just to attack Zhao Guo today, so he shouldn't have any major problems this time.

Everyone was discussing, when Li Mu or Wang Jian was the sharper here, the messenger came.

It seems that there is new news.

"Report! Your Majesty, there is a battle report on the front line."

Ying Zheng looked at the messenger and waved his hand, meaning to let him speak.

All the ministers didn't know what was going on, they all listened with pricked ears, Zhao Guo sent out 30 Zhao troops, which is quite a number, and Li Mu is also a general, the loyal ministers suddenly raised their hearts.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Guo seems to be short of food and grass. Li Mu wants to fight our Qin army quickly, but General Wang Jian is not ready to fight. He is expected to fight Zhao Guo. Also, this is a letter from General Wang Jian."

Zhao Gao took the letter from the messenger, ran to Ying Zheng's side, and handed it to Ying Zheng with both hands.

Ying Zheng took it in his hand and looked at it. This is a letter written by Wang Jian to Ying Zheng, and the content is very detailed.

Ying Zheng smiled after reading it. The outline of this letter is about what happened on the front line in the past few days, as well as Wang Jian's verification, Zhao Jun's situation and so on.

It seems that the current situation on the front line is not bad, but Ying Zheng did not expect that most of the 30 Zhao troops are just targets, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. How can these people still have the strength to fight? Compared with Qin Jun, all the recruits of Qin Jun are young people, and all of them are very healthy. The two countries are indeed far behind.

This one has the upper hand in terms of numbers, and according to Wang Jian's analysis, Li Mu seems to have tried every means to cut off the food and grass of Qin, but it has rotted.

Look at this, the grain and grass of Zhao State must be limited. Qin State not only has a large area and a large amount of production, but there is enough grain and grass everywhere to supply the army, and there are enough soldiers to attack Zhao State.

It seems that Yingzheng is bound to win Zhao's territory this time, and Yingzheng is completely relieved this time. It seems that now is just a matter of time.

Ying Zheng showed the letter in his hand to the cabinet minister to read it.

Lu Buwei, Han Fei and others all nodded and said,

"My lord, I think General Wang Jian will definitely win this time."

"Qin will definitely win this time. First of all, I am still worried about Zhao Guo and Li Mu. No matter what aspect is present, the capital of Zhao is suppressed by us."

"I thought so too! It seems that this Zhao country will be our territory sooner or later!"

"Hahaha, spend all the resources of their Zhao country, so that we can still win without a fight, without wasting a single soldier."

……

Everyone's age is the same as Ying Zheng's. Ying Zheng nodded and said with a smile.

"In fact, Li Mu is also quite talented. He has been on the battlefield a lot, and his record is very good. If the talents are equal, I think Li Mu may lose to Wang Jian."

"It's just that, judging by the situation, Li Mu has very few cards in his hand, so it's impossible for him to be General Wang Jian's opponent."

Han Fei looked at Ying Zheng approvingly. In fact, speaking of everyone, he still admired Li Mu very much, not only because of his ability, but also because of his plan, which is very rare among generals.

Just like in today's situation, Li Muming knows the situation of Zhao Guo's army, and he will continue to think of solutions. Even if Zhao Guo is short of food and grass, Li Mu is very calm, and can choose a decision that is very beneficial to him, without getting confused .

At first glance, he was a veteran general who had led troops for many years. Even Han Fei couldn't help admiring him. If he faced this situation by himself, he might make a similar choice as Li Mu.

But how long can Li Mu last here? How long can Zhao Guo's food and grass last?
Han Fei asked Ying Zheng and said.

"My lord, how long do you think Li Mu can hold on?"

Ying Zheng thought for a while, raised a finger, and said.

"One month, this time the war, the state of Qin can withstand it, but the state of Zhao cannot."

Qin State has abundant resources, both in terms of food and military strength, it is much better than Zhao State. If it persists for a month or two, Qin State will have no problems at all, but Zhao State will not.

If there is not enough food and grass to supply the 30 troops, Qin will definitely win if it continues to be consumed like this.

All the ministers nodded, Li Mu would definitely not be idle in this month, but he believed in Wang Jian's strength even more, now the overall situation has been decided.

Yingzheng suddenly thought of one thing, but he didn't hear any news from Yan Kingdom in this battle.

Obviously, he has already made an alliance with Yan State, and negotiated that the two countries will send troops to attack Zhao State together.

……

Today, I have sent 40 Qin troops to attack Zhao, but Yan has not sent troops in a row.

Yan Guo didn't even have any news. It seemed that the attack on Zhao Guo had nothing to do with them. What is the meaning of Yan Wangxi's truth? Ying Zheng was very unhappy in his heart and showed displeasure on his face. Divide Zhao's territory with yourself.

It seems that what Yan Wangxi thinks in his heart and what he does are completely different things. How could Ying Zheng not be able to guess the truth of what Yan Wangxi thought in his heart?

Ying Zheng sneered in his heart, good Yan Wangxi, since the calculations are all on his own head, Ying Zheng is not a person who is happy to lose money.

How could he let Yan Wangxi go so easily? He narrowed his profound eyes and said to Zhang Yi.

"Master Zhang Yi, I still need to trouble you to do something else."

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

……

fire wire.

Li Mu found that no matter how he provoked Wang Jian, the Qin army would not be moved. This Wang Jian must have seen through Zhao Wang's strategy long ago.

You can't just sit and wait like this, so Li Mu thought about it, secretly took Zhao Jun at night, and secretly launched three or four snipe attacks.

But he was discovered by Wang Jian every time, and sometimes he was almost surrounded by the Qin army and could not escape. Li Mu was unable to do anything to Wang Jian for a while.

King Zhao, who knew the news, had nothing to do, which made the people of HD panic.

At this time, Zhang Yi arrived at HD according to what Ying Zheng said.

Ying Zheng specially asked him to go to HD in person to find Zhao Mu and have a good chat with him.

Ying Zheng mainly arranges two things for Zhang Yi. The first thing is to go to HD to find Zhao Mu and ask Zhao Mu to do one thing.

The main reason is that Qin State's attack on Zhao Guoguo will be more leisurely this time.

The second thing is to ask Zhang Yi to pay attention to the news of Yan State, because there is still no news from Yan State so far, if there is any trouble in Yan State at this time, things will be difficult to handle.

Zhang Yi was also a little confused in her heart. At that time, she went to the country of Yan to find King Xi of Yan. The king of Yan obviously agreed well. He wanted to form an alliance with the country of Qin, send troops to attack the country of Zhao, and wanted to divide the territory of the country of Zhao together. .

Now Qin State has sent troops to attack Zhao State, why there is no news at all these days.

Could it be that Yan Dan was released by Yan Wangxi again, and said something to Yan Wangxi, Zhang Yi thought of this and shook her head.

That day, I saw Yan Dan being put under house arrest by Yan Wangxi with my own eyes. Looking at Yan Wangxi's arrogance that day, I guess it is impossible for Yan Wangxi to listen to Yan Dan's words now.

Now Wang Xi of Yan feels that Yan Dan is continuously blocking the railing for him to gain benefits, and he can't bend the railing all at once, he can only take a detour.

But King Xi of Yan has always been scheming, and by the way, there is Cao Yanchun Lord on the top of the wall nearby. As expected, every kind of monarch has such kind of courtiers. Maybe these two people are thinking about something.

It seems that after I finish this matter, I must pay attention to what Yan Guo is doing now.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yi reached HD without knowing it.

Zhao Mu was not overjoyed when he received the news of Zhang Yi's arrival. Qin's army is strong now, while Zhao's army is not getting better day by day. Not only is the number insufficient, but also there is no food.

Anyone who knows clearly can see at a glance that as long as the Qin army continues to procrastinate like this, the situation is settled. Now it is only a matter of time, and Zhao Guo is doomed.

But it so happened that at this time, Zhao Guo was desperate and Zhang Yi came to find him. Zhao Mu felt that there must be no merit, and he was very unhappy.

Now that it's this time, why did Zhang Yi come to find her?
But thinking about how powerful the Qin army is today, it's not bad if it can bring some benefits to himself. Today is also a good opportunity to fight against Qin. Maybe Zhang Yi will bring him something good.

As soon as Zhao Mugang saw Zhang Yi, his face continued to be cold, and he said in a dark voice.

"Heh, what are you doing here at this hour?"

Zhang Yi said to Zhao Mu indifferently.

"How about giving you a chance for glory and glory?"

Zhao Mu looked at Zhang Yi in bewilderment, and asked in confusion.

"What do you mean by this sentence?"

Zhang Yi smiled, looked at Zhao Mu's expression a little softer, and said.

"In the past, my king was down and out, thanks to Zhao Mu, you took care of him. How could my king forget you?"

What is the meaning of this sentence, is Ying Zheng going to play some illusion again, Zhao Mu asked impatiently.

"What exactly are you expected to do?"

Zhang Yi looked at Zhao Mu and said calmly.

"Do you think the current state of Zhao is the enemy of the state of Qin?"

Zhao Mu stared at Zhang Yi with staring eyes, his eyes met, he looked at Zhang Yi with no fear in his eyes, he was peaceful, and said in silence for a while.

"No."

A quick smile flashed across Zhang Yi's eyes, and said.

"So now the king gives you an opportunity to enjoy the glory and glory."

This Zhao Mu is not stupid, Zhang Yi's words have already reached this point, of course Zhao Mu understands what Zhang Yi means, and he must want to help Qin.

Now that the state of Zhao has fallen into this state, it is useless to guard the area of ​​the state of Zhao.

Why didn't he want to enjoy the glory and glory, and didn't want to get involved in these chaotic incidents anymore? Zhao Mu also knew in his heart that the current state of Zhao would definitely lose, so his heart was a little shaken.

He definitely wants to help the Qin State. At this time, how can he care so much about it? If the Zhao State is attacked by the Qin State, his life may not be saved.

Now that Zhang Yi came looking for her, she definitely needed to do something by herself. Zhao Mu thought about it and felt that Ying Zheng must be worried about Li Mu!
Here Li Mu is also famously sharp, if he wants to persuade King Zhao Mourning to replace Li Mu, probably to kill Li Mu, then he will definitely not be able to do it...

Not to mention Li Mu's high skill and strength, I am not his opponent at all. If Li Mu is to be replaced, not only the king of Zhao will not approve, but even the ministers in the palace will definitely stop him. This matter must not be easy to handle.

Zhao Mu said with hesitation.

"It is impossible for King Zhao to replace Li Mu, no matter who persuades him, the consequences will be the same."

Zhang Yi waved her hand and replied.

"It's not for you to persuade Li Mu to replace him. Don't worry, you have nothing to do with Li Mu, so I won't make things difficult for you."

As soon as Zhao Mu heard it, if he didn't replace Li Mu, then this matter must be done easily. Today, everyone in Zhao Guo knows how sharp Li Mu is here, and if Li Mu is replaced, Zhao Guo will have no hope.

I'm also a little curious, since it has nothing to do with Li Mu, what else does Ying Zheng want him to do?
The expression became much calmer, and asked Zhang Yi.

"Then what do you want me to do next? Besides replacing Li Mu, if I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Zhang Yi continued to speak with a smile on his face.

"It's very simple. If you want to find a way to get King Zhao Mourning to leave HD, that means avoiding HD and going to the heart of Zhao."

Zhao Mu's eyes flickered as soon as he heard that, it is not easy to get Zhao Wang out of here, and Zhao Wang must be very afraid of the current trend, but he probably didn't think of it.

In addition, if any of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty is not concerned about their own safety, and only they have a small head, there will definitely be people who agree, and they all want to stay away from the line of fire and hide far away.

King Zhao Mourning would definitely not say anything, he probably wanted to leave HD earlier in his heart, and he still had the confidence to accomplish this matter, so he nodded to Zhang Yi in agreement.

"This is waiting."

After Zhao Mu sent Zhang Yi away, he thought in his heart that he now had the confidence, and now Ying Zheng promised himself that he would give him a lifetime of glory.

So even if Zhao State is subjugated by Qin State, I don't have to be afraid at all. Now not only my life is safe, but I can also enjoy a lifetime of life in Qin State. This is indeed God giving me another chance to choose.

The more Zhao Mu thought about it, the happier he felt, so he returned to the main topic, thinking about how he should tell King Zhao Mourning the next day.

The next day, Zhao Guo went to court, and everything seemed to be the same as before.

The ministers stepped forward one by one and arrived at the palace. The decoration in this palace was extremely extravagant. The high-quality white jade was paved into floor tiles. Obviously, even if you stepped on them in winter, you would feel the warmth from the soles of your feet. The pillars of the palace are all carved from sandalwood.

The dragon and phoenix above are in front of you, and even in the daytime, several bright moon beads continue to emit dazzling brilliance. The ministers of civil and military affairs in this palace are gradually arranged in order, and they respectfully bow to King Zhao Mourning.

No wonder I want to be a monarch, I want to be a great king, have so much glory and glory, and enjoy very high-level remuneration.

That's why there are so many monarchs who guard the palace desperately and are unwilling to leave.

Zhao Mu looked at the nearby ministers, who were discussing the affairs of Qin State and Zhao State in the past few days. They talked about these things day by day, but they couldn’t think of any facilities. Listen tiredly.

Zhao Mu thought about what he promised Zhang Yi yesterday, turned his eyes, took a step forward, and said to King Zhao Mourning.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

King Zhao Mourning looked a little tired, it seemed that he hadn't slept well these few days, and he was terrified all day long, fearing that the State of Qin would attack and enter the city at some point.

How can I sleep well for a day? In today's situation, King Zhao really wants to fight fast, but Qin Jun happens to be unmoved, and he has no facilities at all.

Moreover, I received reports from General Li Mu from time to time. Even General Li Mu resorted to various tactics, but they were all resolved one by one by the Qin army. How could King Zhao Mourning Xiang not worry? Wang has aged a few years, his whole body is very exhausted, and he is not as energetic as before, as if he has experienced a serious illness.

King Zhao Mourning and Xiang lay down on the dragon couch, and waved his hand exhaustedly, the meaning was to let Zhao Mu speak.

"Your Majesty, although there has been no news from the Qin army in the past few days, I am a little worried. The line of fire is so close to our capital. If the Qin army rises up one day and wants to attack the line of fire, before we have time to retreat, the Qin army will come and go." We have broken into the capital, and we can't run even if we want to."

King Zhao Mourning straightened up and listened attentively to Zhao Mu's words. Every sentence Zhao Mu said made sense, and the more he listened, the more reasonable he became. He nodded to Zhao Mu and said.

"You keep talking."

Zhao Mu swallowed, and continued talking.

"It's better for us to move the capital farther from the front line. HD now, even if the Qin army breaks through the front line by then, there is still some distance away from us, and there will be time to retreat and escape. It is better to have an inner preparation."

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the vicinity were also very afraid, and worried about their own lives. If the Qin army surrounded them, they would not be able to escape if they wanted to. Fortunately, Zhao Mu thought of this matter. Before it was too late, he quickly stepped forward and agreed.

"Your Majesty, I think Zhao Mu is right. We should move quickly at this time, otherwise by the time the Qin army surrounds HD, we won't be able to escape even if we want to."

"That's right, taking advantage of the fact that Qin's army hasn't made any moves yet, we can be considered quite sure about it."

"Yeah, I agree, how about we move the capital to Zhongmou!"

"Yes, yes, no matter what we do, there is still time. Even if the Qin army breaks through the line of fire, we will have time to retreat."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I approve of this initiative. It's important that we save our lives first!"

"The minister also approves!"

……

All the ministers stood up and said that this decision was feasible, but suddenly, at this moment, Li Mu jumped out, the more Li Mu looked at the situation, the more wrong it became, why did they all agree to move the capital all of a sudden!
