Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 219 Only enough food for five days

at the same time.

Wuwei County.

After listening to Jia Xu's remarks, Yan Da's face became heavy and he took a deep breath: "Now the Lord is preparing to destroy the Yue clan. If he gives up halfway and returns to Qin at this time, wouldn't it be a failure? Even the morale of the soldiers will be ruined. They will also be hit by it.”

Ying Zhu sighed deeply. He had never imagined the consequences. However, once the six countries joined forces to attack Qin, Qin would be in danger.

The only way is to place hope on Wang Zijun. Only if he ends the war on the grassland as quickly as possible and returns to Qin with his army can he push back the offensive of the six countries.

But in this way, it gives the grassland a chance to breathe. It will be more difficult to annihilate the aliens in the future. Only after the six countries are unified can they concentrate on dealing with the aliens.

This will drag on the Qin State for several more years, and the aliens will also be resentful and harass the border more violently.

Although General Bai Qi is stationed at the border, Bai Qi is old and can only form formations at the rear to respond to the enemy, and he can still deter these foreign races in a short period of time.

As time goes by, as the alien race continues to grow and develop, even a general will find it difficult to deal with it.

Since Yingjun chose to destroy the Yue clan, he must be very sure, otherwise he would not have entered the Yue clan with such a big fanfare.

Ying Zhu frowned and sat in the main seat, thinking for a while, then asked: "General Yan, how long will it take for Brother Jun to annihilate the Yue clan?"

Yan Da looked at everyone with firm eyes and said confidently and decisively: "Five days!"

Five days!

Although Ying Zhu's views on his younger brother were different from ordinary people's, he was still a little surprised when he heard about it.

Ying Zhu took a deep breath, feeling a little unsure, and asked again: "General Yan, you..."

As soon as he turned his head to look at Yan Da, he stopped what he was about to say less than halfway through his words.

Because what he saw on Yan Da's face was only confidence and determination. This was not only a subordinate's belief in the general, but also his belief in Ying Jun's generals.

In the Battle of Handan, Yingjun defeated millions of troops from the six countries with only 30 troops.

In the grassland battle, the Qiang clan was wiped out with an army of [-].

How can such a general not be admired and believed in!
Thinking of this, Ying Zhu looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Sir, how long can our Qin State's food and grass last?"

Ever since Ying Jun put Jia Xu in charge of growing food, the officials in charge of the treasury in the DPRK would come to make calculations from time to time.

How many seeds are sown, how many seedlings die, and how much harvest is expected next year…

These are being counted all the time.

Therefore, he also knows the grain and grass inventory of Qin very well.

Jia Xu secretly made a calculation in his mind, and then said: "If we add these that General Yan sent back, it can last for more than five months on weekdays, just in time for the first batch of grain harvest."

"But if a war breaks out, this food and grass will only be enough to support everyone in Qin for less than two months!"

Two months!
This is too far away from the time when the first grains are harvested.

Even if Jun brother comes back and repels these six countries, Qin's food crisis still cannot be solved.

I can only rely on Brother Jun! !

Ying Zhu took a deep breath, looked at Yan Da with determination in his eyes, and said with a heavy face: "General Yan, the aliens on the grassland will be left to Brother Jun and you generals. Just focus on killing the enemy with peace of mind, and don't worry about the affairs within Da Qin. .”

"Leave Qin to us. We will buy you two months. The life and death of Qin will be left to you and Brother Jun."

"I also ask General Yan to convey my words to Brother Jun, asking him to defeat the alien tribesmen on the grassland within two months. No matter what the result is, he must return to Qin and fight against the enemy together!"

"At that time, my people, the soldiers of Great Qin, will kill war horses, eat tree bark, weeds, and eat Guanyin soil, and they will also swear to repel the unification of the six kingdoms again and strengthen the majesty of our Great Qin!"

"Protect me the hard work of all the kings of the Qin Dynasty!"

After speaking, Ying Zhu turned around and walked towards the door, looking at the gray sky, an aura of despair suddenly emanated from him.

Even Jia Xu was shocked. After spending so long with Ying Zhu, he always thought that he was far different from Ying Jun.

But at this moment, I actually saw a trace of Ying Jun in Ying Zhu.

Is this the inheritance of the bloodline of the old Qin people?
Qin has nothing to fear!The people of Lao Qin have never been greedy for life and afraid of death, and there have never been people who turned around and ran away on the battlefield. There are only people who have the courage to charge and fall to the ground without fear of life or death!

Everyone in Yan Da and Dian Wei felt an inexplicable feeling in their hearts. They clenched their fists tightly, and the blood in their chests suddenly surged out. They immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison: "We will live and die together with Da Qin. Life or death!"

Ying Zhu turned to look at the two of them and said firmly: "You will all become the pillars of the Qin Dynasty in the future!"

……

at this time.

Yueshi territory.

Ying Jun sat in the camp, raised his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky, and said nonchalantly: "Yanda must have escorted the grain and grass back to Wuwei."

It won't take long for this news to reach the ears of the kings and ministers of the six countries.

Especially King Yan of Zhao, who had previously captured the capital of Handan by the Qin Dynasty. If others saw the national power of the Qin Dynasty, they might be afraid.

However, the hatred between Zhao and Qin is as deep as the sea, and they will definitely take this opportunity to instigate the other five countries to join forces to attack Qin again and seize Handan.

Handan is located in the center of the Six Kingdoms. It was obtained with the blood and lives of countless old Qin people. It can never be recaptured by Zhao again.

Two days later, there will be a decisive battle with the Yuezhi clan.

It is imperative to annihilate the Yue clan.

The Yuezhi and Qiang clan were wiped out one after another, and other tribes were bound to be shocked by this, and even moved their tribes deep into the grasslands to hide.

In this way, the food, grass, cattle, horses, sheep and other materials of the Yuezhi clan alone will not be able to support the army all the way north to conquer the Yan Kingdom.

Moreover, the Great Wall was also built on the border of Yan State. These herdsmen had mediocre fighting power. If they were allowed to attack the city, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties and the gain would not be worth the loss.

Most sieges relied on chariots and infantry, and cavalry was basically useless.

If the Yan State was deep in the Great Wall, unable to defend the city, and fighting a war of attrition with the army...

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Cunxiao's voice came from behind him.

"Lord!"

Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun strode towards Yingjun.

Li Cunxiao came to Yingjun and bowed in front of him. He slowly sat down with a happy look on his face and said with admiration in his eyes: "My lord, you are an expert in knowing things. These Yueshi have indeed hidden the food and grass, but now we are found it."

Ying Jun smiled slightly, holding a piece of lamb leg in his hand and placing it on the campfire in front of him while roasting it, he said: "If you were the Yue clan, would you rather have your life or food?"

The grassland aliens have always made their living on cattle, horses and sheep. Naturally, they attach great importance to food and grass. They are reluctant to burn it with fire, but they cannot be obtained by the Qin army, so they can only hide it and return after annihilating the Qin army. Go to the camp and take out the food and grass, so there is no loss.

But they never expected that they would be found by Yingjun and the others.

Li Cunxiao suddenly looked stunned, and then asked: "Lord, even if we find these grains and grasses, if the Yuezhi does not confront us head-on, we still cannot plunder the supplies and are still facing a crisis of grains and grasses. These grains and grasses are only enough to sustain the army for five years." Japanese."

"Five days is enough!"

After Yingjun finished speaking, he picked up the leg of lamb and started eating it.

Li Cunxiao looked at Ying Jun with a puzzled expression. Just as he was about to continue asking, he was interrupted by Zhao Yun on the side.

"General Lee."

Zhao Yun turned to look at him and asked: "The Yuezhi clan retreated just to avoid the sharp edge of our army. They gathered all the clan members at the Dayue clan station with the intention of annihilating our army in one fell swoop."

Li Cunxiao immediately snorted coldly and said with disdain in his eyes: "How can these Yuezhi be the opponents of the Lord's soldiers and want to annihilate them? What a joke!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yingjun finished eating the leg of lamb, wiped his mouth and looked at the two of them: "The army has a day of rest. Let the soldiers eat and drink well and have a good sleep!"

"Tomorrow we will set off to the Yuezhi camp to meet the Yuezhi clan!"

"Here!"

Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun replied.
