My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1048: Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit! Dai Wu'an Jun fled to the Xiongnu? !

Han Cang's eyes widened: "One million and three hundred thousand?!"

"Are you planning to send all the young and strong men of Qin to the battlefield?!"

"If we send 1.3 million soldiers to fight, farming and craftsmanship in the rear of our Great Qin will be delayed, and people's livelihood will be in decline!"

"Next year, there will be a natural disaster in Great Qin!"

If the Qin Dynasty really mobilizes 1.3 million young and strong men to fight as Ying Chengjiao said, then including the manpower needed for the front line and the manpower for transportation in the rear, almost all the young and strong men in the Qin Dynasty will serve in this war!
Who will farm? Who will build? Who will construct cement roads and various facilities?

More importantly, Chang'an Jun said that Qin's grain production will also decrease next year.

Has the Qin Dynasty only had a few days of good times?
Is it about to stop?!
Ying Chengjiao's voice was extremely decisive: "I am well aware that mobilizing such a large army will inevitably cause the people in the rear to suffer."

"But this battle is a battle for the sake of not fighting! This battle is a battle that cannot be defeated!"

"Even if this war will hinder the development of our Great Qin's national strength, or even cause it to decline, this is the price we have to pay for victory!"

"If we lose this battle, our Great Qin will suffer a heavy blow. Not only will our country be in jeopardy, but our country will also be in jeopardy!"

"Only if we win this battle completely will the people never have to suffer such hardship again in the future!"

The Eight-Nation Alliance was not a group of weak rabbits, but a group of hungry wolves fighting to the death!

Ying Chengjiao also admits that he is not a lion, but at most a Husky who loves to learn. It is only because he has been in the wolf pack for a long time that he has been infected with the spirit of tigers and wolves. He has been constantly learning and enriching himself, and has been able to successfully take advantage of the perspectives, ideas, tactics, techniques and historical materials of later generations, so that his claws and teeth are stained with blood, that he can look like a lion.

Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, let alone Ying Chengjiao wanting to lead the Qin army to conquer the eight kingdoms?!
Han Cang was even more shocked: "This battle is led by Chang'an Jun!"

"How can our Great Qin be defeated?!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at Han Cang in confusion and asked, "Why did Han Shangqing say that?"

"I am just an ordinary general. It is normal for me to be defeated."

I am only the Lord of Chang'an, not the Lord of Wu'an. Why do you think I will not be defeated?

Lu Buwei shook his head slightly and said, "Chang'an Jun is too modest!"

"I think 1.3 million troops is indeed too many."

"If we send such a large number of troops..."

Lu Buwei and other important ministers talked about one practical problem after another, but Ying Zheng just looked at Ying Chengjiao's determined eyes.

In recent years, the national strength of the Qin Dynasty has soared and soared, and the lives of the people have improved visibly.

People who once often lingered on the brink of starvation could not only eat their fill now, but could even occasionally eat meat at the end of the year!

All the ministers took great credit for this, but who was the first to achieve the credit?

He was Ying Chengjiao, who was born into a noble family, had made great military achievements and was well-known, but he personally dug gold juice, built workshops, and fattened pigs, and he suffered countless hardships.

How could Ying Zheng not know that Ying Chengjiao loved the people?
Looking at all the people appointed in the imperial study today, Ying Chengjiao is definitely the one who cares the people the most. Even Lu Buwei, who shouts about lenient policies, suspended sentences and benevolent governance for the people every day, cannot catch up with him!

At this moment, the prince's younger brother is the one who feels the worst.

But even so, the prince still made such a decision.

How can I not help my brother, the king?
Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "With the power of our Great Qin, can we mobilize an army of 1.3 million to go on the expedition?"

Lü Buwei frowned and said, "It is unprecedented in history to use the power of a country to support such a large army. No one in the court or the army has any experience in this!"

"We, the Great Qin, must exhaust the manpower of the people from all over the country. Many young and strong people will even have to travel thousands of miles, which will waste too much manpower and food!"

"If we only send one million troops this time, the time that our Great Qin can support the decisive battle on the front line can be extended by at least another half a year."

"Not only that, can the people of Kuaiji cope with the extreme cold in Youbeiping..."

The ministers' opposition was not because they were reluctant, nor because they were afraid of fighting, nor because they did not trust Ying Chengjiao.

For every additional 10,000 troops, the pressure on the army in the central government will increase exponentially.

Raising an army of 1.3 million is a huge test for the Qin Dynasty in all aspects, and it is also an unfamiliar challenge with no previous experience to refer to!

But Ying Zheng interrupted Lu Buwei's explanation and asked in a louder voice: "Father, can you tell me clearly?"

"Yes, or no?!"

Lu Buwei pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"

"As long as we leave behind a brave general who can deter the villains from all sides and guard the rear, we can handle the rest!"

The king has called me "Zhongfu"!

Then, let’s try our best!

Ying Zheng looked at Han Cang and asked, "How long can the grain reserves of the Great Qin Dynasty sustain the war on the front line?"

Han Cang's heart is bleeding!

But Han Cang also knew the priorities and knew that he was Ying Chengjiao's subordinate. Without affecting Ying Chengjiao's personal interests, Han Cang hoped that Ying Chengjiao could leave some food for Daqin.

But if it would affect Ying Chengjiao's interests, or even affect Ying Chengjiao's victory or defeat, then Han Cang would have no choice but to risk his life!

Han Cang bowed solemnly and said, "In recent years, the grain production of the Great Qin has skyrocketed, and we have also received all the grain reserves of the former Qi and the compensation of the Yan State. If the Great Qin really sends 1.3 million troops and starts a war in Du Kang, the grain reserves of the Great Qin will be enough for the front line to fight for ten months."

"If the battlefield is further away, the time our Great Qin's food reserves can last will be rapidly reduced!"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao and asked, "Is it enough?"

Ying Chengjiao nodded heavily: "That's enough!"

"Not to mention inviting the enemy to a decisive battle, even if it is a competition of national strength, consumption, and endurance, the eight enemy countries are unable to compete with our Great Qin!"

The golden juice for curing manure, the rich and powerful pigs and other creations that Ying Chengjiao obtained after years of hard work and dirty farming gave him a perfect thank you gift today.

It also gave Ying Chengjiao the confidence to claim victory!

This battle is a huge test for the Qin Dynasty, but it is also a huge test for the eight enemy countries.

The Qin Dynasty could hold out for eight months, but how many months could the eight enemy nations hold out? !
Ying Zheng nodded gently: "Pass on my order!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Accept Lord Chang'an's advice and clearly inform all counties and prefectures of the Qin Dynasty to conscript all men aged 14 and over and under 60!"

"All horses that meet the standards of our Great Qin war horses, except for the stallions, will be sent to the front lines and assigned by Chang'an Jun!"

Then Ying Zheng's voice turned gentle: "My brother, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the court."

"With your brother in the court, and the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, and all the other beloved ministers by your side, they will definitely not be hindered by your younger brother!"

Ying Chengjiao bowed with a warm heart and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has great faith in me, and I will never fail you!"

Ying Zheng chuckled and shook his head: "There's no need for this between you and me."

"Besides the 1.3 million troops and all the war horses, do you have any other requests, my brother?"

"As long as Great Qin can do it, I will agree to it!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "I have many requests, but the rest are minor matters. After the court meeting, I will write a detailed memorial and submit it to the king."

"I do have a hidden concern, and I need the king and my colleagues to help me discuss it together."

Ying Zheng's smile froze.

Just sending out 1.3 million troops is enough to give me a headache. I was only being polite to you, but you actually have other requests!

But what can Ying Zheng do?
This is my younger brother, and I only have this one younger brother.

I can only pamper her!
Ying Zheng forced a smile and said, "My brother, you can speak frankly."

Ying Chengjiao said directly: "The hidden worry in my heart is to replace Wu'an Jun."

"As far as I know, Dai Wu'an Jun is upright and upright, and has great justice in his heart. He is definitely not someone who would be willing to go along with the Xiongnu."

"The court may have planted a spy in Dai Wu'an Jun's mansion. Have they found out Dai Wu'an Jun's current situation?"

Even though Ying Chengjiao defeated Li Mu repeatedly, and even though the current Qin Dynasty is much more powerful than the previous one, Ying Chengjiao has never underestimated Li Mu even a little bit!
The war that Li Mu was most familiar with was the one in which, when the country was at a disadvantage in terms of national strength, food supplies, and manpower, he would confuse the enemy generals with continuous defeats that even lasted for several years and contracted hundreds of miles. In the end, he would take advantage of the enemy's carelessness to complete an annihilation war with the few against the many and the weak against the strong!
How could Ying Chengjiao take such a person lightly? !
Although this war might involve fighting eight nations, with the full support of the Qin Dynasty, there was only one problem in Ying Chengjiao's eyes.

Li Mu!

Lü Buwei didn't know why Ying Chengjiao valued a general who had been defeated so many times, but since Ying Chengjiao valued Li Mu, Lü Buwei would naturally not relax his surveillance on Li Mu, so he immediately replied: "According to the investigation of the scouts, the day after Dai Wu'an Jun received the Black Dragon Waterwheel presented by Chang'an Jun, he led his old subordinates and their families back to Dai."

"On the day of departure, Dai Wu'an Jun sent a message to Daidi in his personal name, asking the young and strong people of Daidi to gather in Wei."

"After a day of rest in Wei County, Dai Wu'an Jun ordered his servants to stay in Wei County and ordered the officials in Dai to build black dragon water wheels in various places, gather refugees, and resume production."

"Dai Wu'an Jun personally led 3,000 young men and carried five days' worth of food and fodder to the north to attack the Xiongnu. Afterwards, his whereabouts were unknown."

"The King of Dai issued twelve consecutive royal decrees ordering Dai Wu'an Jun to return to the court. However, until the King of Dai and the Xiongnu formed an alliance on the border, Dai Wu'an Jun still did not return to Dai!"

Ying Chengjiao: “Ah???”

Ying Chengjiao's intention of giving Li Mu the Black Dragon Waterwheel was not as simple as Li Mu thought, nor as kind as Li Mu thought.

Ying Chengjiao hoped that the Xuanlong Waterwheel could give some hope to the Dai State, which was in a desperate situation, and delay the possibility of war between the two countries as much as possible, so that Daqin would have more opportunities to improve its national strength and reduce casualties in the next war.

They also hoped that the State of Dai would use up the people's energy to build the Xuanlong waterwheel. The people of Dai secretly cursed the King of Dai for wasting the people's energy, but at the same time they were grateful to the Qin Dynasty for giving them a chance to survive. When the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Dai Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty could get a large number of Xuanlong waterwheels without spending any energy, just picking them up ready-made.

Ying Chengjiao hoped that the Xuanlong Waterwheel could intensify the conflict between Li Mu and Dai Wangjia, so that Li Mu would fall out with Dai Wangjia for the benefit of Dai.

In addition, Ying Chengjiao has many little thoughts in his mind.

However, Ying Chengjiao never expected that Li Mu would lead 3,000 young and strong men to the north to the Huns!

What an outrageous operation!
