Chapter 239 lack of food
Meng Tian's words instantly calmed down the originally noisy Qin court.
Everyone stopped talking and then looked at Meng Tian. Some people showed thoughtful expressions, while others were full of disdain.
At this time, the King of Qin, who was already worried about the quarrel, had his eyes lit up when he heard this, and his eyes were full of praise when he looked at Meng Tian.
"It is easy for Qin to protect himself, but it is difficult to seize the world."
"Meng Tian's words are at the critical point, especially at the critical moment of life and death of Qin, Meng Tian can still think of Qin's century-old plan. It's really my heart."
"If I take power, I will use this person with great importance!"
Although Ying Zheng secretly praised Meng Tian in his heart, he didn't say much, but instead focused on Lu Buwei.
First of all, the Qin King's government did not have the power in charge, and it was often only equivalent to a mascot and did not have the final right to decide on military and national affairs.
Secondly, Meng Tian was promoted by Lu Buwei. Since Meng Tian said this, Lu Buwei would probably serve as his solid backing.
Nowadays, Lu Buwei's words are obviously more effective than the King of Qin.
"Smack!"
As expected, Lu Buwei suddenly began to applaud and then sternly said: "Some people fear the enemy like tigers, and only want to seek peace and protect themselves. Only General Meng Tian still thinks about Qin's future and then sweep the world."
"I really didn't expect that all the civil and military officials in the court could not match a young general!"
Lu Buwei looked around everyone, his eyes stayed on those who had strongly advocated seeking peace for a while, and his face was full of mockery.
"Ask peace from Zhao State can certainly calm this war."
"However, the six countries were able to unite and reign because of Zhao. Except for Chu and Qi, most of the other countries had their own ulterior motives."
"If Qin seeks peace in this battle, the nations will inevitably regard Zhao as their respect from now on. Qin will be unable to go east again as if it is as high as heaven."
"On the contrary, if the cold winter can be delayed until the day when the coalition forces are exhausted, there will inevitably be many conflicts between the countries. At that time, the coalition forces of the Union of the Zong Dynasty have certainly achieved something, but will eventually end up in failure. As long as there is a little provocation, the countries may not be able to follow the leader of Zhao."
"Therefore, according to the true nature, those who dare to speak up again will be killed!"
A court meeting about the future fate of Qin State finally set the tone with Lu Buwei's strong attack: Qin State resists the coalition forces of the six countries with the strength of the whole country, and will never talk about harmony!
In order to boost morale, the underage Qin Wang Zheng personally went to the front line and worked with the soldiers of the three armies to fight the enemy.
In addition, the Qin State recruited almost all adult men, and the defense line extended southwest from Hangu Pass, and deployed defenses in Kuafu Mountain, Yanghua Mountain, Yangxu Mountain, and Zhushan. It not only guarded against the main force of the coalition forces, but also guarded against the Chu army that could send troops from Wuguan to pass at any time.
Although the possibility of Chu recruiting troops was not high, Qin did not dare to bet on its own country's operations. It could only consume huge manpower and material resources to guard against the whole country.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Qin State almost completely squeezed out the war potential of the entire country. Even if it could eventually block the coalition forces, it would inevitably be severely damaged and would no longer be able to go east within a few years.
Deng County.
After reading the information about Qin, Zhao Jia couldn't help but sigh: "The strategy of trying to intimidate Qin and let Qin take the initiative to seek peace ended in failure."
There is no doubt that the King of Chu released news in the previous period, and wanted to use the power of the whole country to attack Guanzhong from Wuguan and destroy the Qin country's country's country, which was just a bluff.
If the King of Chu was really prepared to do this, he would definitely not make a big fuss.
In fact, although the territory of Chu is vast and the people are numerous, the comprehensive national strength is second only to that of Qin. However, Chu has many nobles, and they have too many private fiefs and population.
These great nobles of Chu State also weakened the national strength of Chu State in disguise.
This time, the Chunshen Jun Huang Xie commanded 200,000 Chu troops to attack Qin, and the Chu State had almost done its best. Even though they joined forces with Zhao Jia to attack the soldiers of Nanjun some time ago, they were the soldiers recruited by the great nobles of Chu State from their fiefs.
It was almost impossible for the King of Chu to command the private soldiers of these great nobles to participate in the war to destroy Qin.
Only when the Chu State is truly facing the crisis of destruction, these great nobles will at their best help the King of Chu to repel the invading soldiers for their own interests.
Therefore, the State of Chu has more than enough defense to defend the city, but not enough progress.
When Wang Jian heard Zhao Jia's words, he smiled and said, "Although the King of Chu failed to force Qin to seek peace, the Qin State also made the Qin State do its best to start the defense. I believe that in order to complete the line of defense, Qin State also spent immeasurable manpower and material resources."
"The master's plan to consume Qin's national strength has already worked. Even if the Qin State fails to force Qin to take the initiative to seek peace, it will be considered to be mostly successful."
Zhao Jia stroked his beard when he heard this, and his face was full of smiles.
"This war is over!"
Zhao Jia looked up, and the slowly falling sunset couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
Capital of South Korea, Xinzheng.
"King, the granaries in various parts of South Korea are almost exhausted. If we continue to provide food and grass to the coalition forces, the food and grass stored in various places will probably be difficult to support the day of harvesting the next year!"
Han Prime Minister Zhang Ping said with a thick stack of documents and a sad face.
When King Han heard this, he said, "Qi, Chu and other countries are also transporting grain to the army? Since we are no longer able to supply the coalition forces to consume food and grass, why not let Qi, Chu, these two major grain-producing countries take on the heavy responsibility?"
Zhang Ping smiled bitterly and said, "In this battle, Qi sent more than 100,000 troops, and finally only obtained some population. The Qi people did not have a strong desire to fight with the Qin army. It is okay to ask them to provide some money and grain. If Qi was asked to provide money and grain in large quantities, the King of Qi would definitely not agree."
"As for Chu State, since the capture of Nanjun, the food and grass transported from Chu State to the coalition forces has been significantly reduced, and it can only be used by the Chu army, and there is no surplus to supply the remaining troops and horses of other countries."
When King Han heard this, he immediately said angrily: "When Chu gets benefits, he doesn't want to do anything more. It's simply outrageous!"
In fact, after two weeks of obtaining his hometown, South Korea did not want to contribute money and effort.
Unfortunately, as a weak country, South Korea has no say at all. Since it has not put too much effort on the front battlefield, it naturally has to satisfy the coalition forces in logistics supply.
Otherwise, even if South Korea occupied its old place for two weeks and had no coalition forces as a backing, it would be easily recaptured by Qin in the future.
Zhang Ping was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Winter is here now, and it is not suitable to continue fighting with Qin. On the front battlefield, it is not easy for the coalition forces to break through the Qin army's defense line."
"Especially after the Qin King came to the front line, the Qin army was even more motivated. In addition, the Chu State has not sent troops from Wuguan for a long time, and the morale of the coalition forces has been a little depressed."
"Since that's the case, why don't the king persuade all countries to withdraw their troops on the grounds of lack of food in the country?"
King Han hesitated and said, "It is easy for the coalition forces to withdraw troops, but after withdrawing troops, South Korea will inevitably face Qin again. If Qin forces for two weeks, how can South Korea stop it?"
