Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 418 Solve the drought crisis!

"Great!"

As soon as he heard that there was another battle to be fought, Dian Wei stood up excitedly and said with joy on his face: "Now I can finally fight happily."

He originally thought that the battle to destroy Zhao would last for a long time.

But who would have thought that after the battle with Zhao State veteran Lian Po in Shicheng, Zhao State would be completely defeated, and even all the Zhao State soldiers they encountered on the way to and from Daijun gave up resistance.

Even in the last battle of Daijun, Zhao Guo did not last even one day, which inevitably made him a little disappointed, and his warlike heart was not satisfied until the end of the war.

When he heard that he was going to attack South Korea and Wei at the same time, Zhao Yun stepped forward with a worried look on his face and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, although South Korea and Wei are not as powerful as Zhao, we have just captured Zhao and have not yet completely stabilized the domestic situation. If we send troops to attack South Korea and Wei at the same time, wouldn't it be a little too hasty? "

"Is there an emergency?"

Before Yingjun could speak, Dian Wei, who was standing on the side, immediately spoke first. At the same time, he turned to look at Zhao Yun and said with a trace of dissatisfaction on his face: "General Zhao, are you jealous of me? Are you jealous?"

"In the battle to destroy Zhao, you and Li Cunxiao each led an army to attack the left and right wings of Zhao. This distracted the enemy's attention. As a result, after I attacked Shicheng from the front, there was no more fighting."

"You and General Li Cunxiao had a good fight, but I only fought one battle with the tens of thousands of Beiwei troops under my command, and the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed. Not to mention how frustrated I was. If this spread, I would think it was mine. Carrying the Wei army is not as good as your white-horse righteous obedience!"

Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to answer him for a moment, but it was exactly what Dian Wei said.

After they broke through the border, Zhao State focused all its attention on him and Li Cunxiao, and even sent troops to block their offensive many times, but they were all defeated in the end.

Zhao Guo seemed to have never paid attention to the frontal battlefield from beginning to end.

Do not!
Rather than saying that he didn't pay attention, it is better to say that King Zhao had great trust in Lian Po.

However, Lian Po still persisted for half a month despite the fierce offensive of tens of thousands of powerful Beiwei troops and [-] Qin troops, which is enough to show Lian Po's rich combat experience.

Regarding Dian Wei's belligerent character, Ying Jun also looked helpless. I'm afraid even Liu Bei had such troubles in the past. Then he looked up at the two of them and said in a deep voice:
"To completely open up the situation of Qin's eastward expansion, South Korea and Wei must be eradicated together. Only by completely destroying the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Zhao can the entire northern territory be bordered by Qin and even the grasslands in the west. Territory after territory.”

"As for the Zhao State, there is no need to worry. As early as when we marched into Dai County, I had already asked Gai Nie to return to the Qin State to ask the King of Qin for orders to dispatch some men. According to the time, they should be arriving soon."

At this moment, a Qin Army soldier quickly ran in from outside the palace, knelt on the ground and said: "General Qi, Mr. Gai Nie and many ministers of the Qin State are waiting outside the palace at this moment!"

It really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao is coming!

Ying Jun raised his eyebrows, a happy look appeared on his face, and then waved his hand: "Bring them in!"

"Here!"

The soldier gave a low shout and left quickly.

In less than a moment, the soldier led Gai Nie and others to the palace.

"Your Majesty, please see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Many ministers knelt on the ground and saluted with their hands in hand.

"I've met my lord!" Gai Nie also bowed and bowed.

Xia Yufang, who was standing next to Gai Nie, listened to the names everyone addressed the young man in front of him, his eyes filled with horror, and he quickly knelt on the ground to salute.

Ying Jun nodded slightly, and after looking around at the people below, his eyes fell on a little girl standing next to Gai Nie. His eyes were a little confused and he asked, "This is it?"

When Yingjun asked, Gai Nie quickly raised his hand and explained: "My lord, this is a little girl I met in a village, her name is Xia Yufang."

"Xia Yufang?"

Ying Jun was stunned for a moment, looking at the eleven or twelve-year-old girl below with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This is the Handan woman, Afangnu, whom King Qin Yingzheng fell in love with when he was a child.

Even after the First Emperor unified the world, he wanted to make her his queen, but the ministers opposed it because she was the daughter of Zhao.In order not to embarrass Ying Zheng, Afangnu had no choice but to commit suicide.

In order to commemorate this daughter, the First Emperor spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to build a palace called Afang Palace for her.

It has to be said that although this girl is only eleven or twelve years old, her appearance is indeed prettier than ordinary little girls. In time, she will definitely become the object of countless men's pursuit.

"Get up!"

Yingjun raised his hand, then looked at Gai Nie and asked: "Since we met in the village, why didn't you give her to her parents instead of bringing her to the palace?"

Gai Nie's face darkened, and he said with some pity: "My lord, you don't know that this girl's father died in the war between Qin and Zhao, and her mother also died of illness two days ago because of lack of food."

"And the village where she is located has also suffered from famine. Many people have lost their consciousness, and countless people have even starved to death."

When Ying Jun heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Such a thing happened in the country? Why didn't anyone report it?"

"Didn't I already order all counties to open warehouses to release grain?"

These people were the foundation for him to build a new country. If people died frequently due to famine, how could he recommend the system of prefectures and counties, and how could he make these people return to Qin?
Besides, if such a big thing happened, someone should report it.

Gai Nie sighed and quickly stepped forward to explain:
"It's not that those officials didn't report it, but that this matter has been going on in Zhao for a long time, and officials from all over the country have become accustomed to it. Besides, who dares to report it rashly now? Even if the general orders the counties to open warehouses to release grain, it will only temporarily relieve the people. of suffering."

"If we want to fundamentally solve the problem, we must solve the drought problem in Zhao State."

When he heard about the drought, Yingjun's face suddenly darkened. If it was an ordinary food shortage, the problem could be solved by just distributing some food to the people.

But natural disasters like drought must be solved from the root. Not only must we find water sources, but we must also find people who are good at building water conservancy projects to resolve droughts.

There are already people who are good at water conservancy, but the problem of water sources...

Thinking of this, Yingjun walked to the table with a solemn expression, staring closely at the map placed on the table, carefully browsing every terrain on it.

"Yes, here it is!"
