Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 584
Moreover, according to the current foundation of Qin State, Fusu really dared to say the last sentence, and he could afford it.

This is Fusu's strongest confidence.

The state of Qin after the reform is no longer the same as it was before. Fusu really won't be afraid of anyone if he fights for his fortune in this.

After painstakingly cultivating such a profound internal strength, what Fusu lacks is only an opportunity.

When the time came, it was time to help Su Dingding the world.

Meng Tian also nodded, he has been a general of Qin State for so many years, how could he not know that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and eagerness is exactly the big taboo of a general.

Besides, if it drags on, Zhao Jun will be disadvantaged.

Now that winter is approaching, when Zhao Jun attacks, it is not just Qin Jun that has to face it.

Fusu and Mengtian talked for a while, and made some changes and optimizations to some specific military affairs. At this time, Fusu found that Han Xin had never said a word from the beginning to the end, but his eyes were always fixed on the map in front of him. .

"Han Xin, what do you think?" Fusu asked with a look.

"Your Majesty, I remember that Xingyang seems to be General Meng Yi stationed there, right?"

With just one sentence, Meng Tian and Fu Su couldn't help but look at each other with surprise in their eyes.

They all guessed what Han Xin was thinking. Although Xingyang is some distance away from Hangu Pass, there is an elite Qin army stationed there. It will have a great impact, and it is not impossible to wipe out 20 Zhao Jun with one shot.

"But Xingyang's location is dangerous. Meng Yi's transfer here will make Xingyang empty and give the rebels in Shandong an opportunity to take advantage of it?" Meng Tian said in a deep voice.

Obviously, he also has some concerns about this.

It's not that he didn't have such an idea before, but, considering Xingyang's pivotal position and his consideration was not mature at that time, Meng Tian just gave up.

Xingyang is the bridgehead of Qin's attack on Shandong. If Xingyang is lost, the Qin army will have to pay a huge price to regain it in the future. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Aocang, which is not far from Xingyang, is One of the largest warehouses in Qin State.

There are countless grains and grass piled up inside, all collected from the six countries in Shandong.

At that time, the construction of this huge warehouse was because of the rugged roads for transporting grain and grass into Guanzhong, and it was really inconvenient for such a large amount of gold, silver and grain, so the Ao warehouse was established.

It can be said that when Yingzheng was alive, after the end of the attack on the six Shandong countries, most of the wealth and taxes collected from the six Shandong countries were there.

If Ao Cang was lost and was acquired by those rebels in Shandong, it would be a huge blow to Qin.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: If you eat an enemy for one minute, you will treat me for twenty minutes; if you avoid a stone, you will treat me for twenty stones.

It means that one zhong of grain obtained from the enemy's country is equivalent to [-] zhong when shipped from one's own country, and one stone of fodder obtained locally is equivalent to [-] zhong when shipped from one's own country.

This actually reveals a logistical cost issue.

In this era, especially when attacking outside or fighting outside, generally speaking, a soldier must be equipped with at least three civilians to ensure logistical supplies.

Undoubtedly, these three civilians also needed to eat. Every stone of food delivered to the frontline soldiers often cost ten or even twenty stones of food.

Therefore, it can be concluded that intercepting one stone of grain from the enemy is equivalent to saving twenty stones of grain for one's own side.

If the Ao Cang is lost, it means that in the future when the Qin army attacks the six countries in Shandong, they will need to raise food and grass directly from Guanzhong, Qin's native land, and then transport it to the front line.

This is not the most frightening thing, the most frightening thing is that those rebels in Shandong can take the opportunity to develop and grow, and the war will be infinitely delayed.

Han Xin said slowly: "General, don't worry, I think it is completely feasible to mobilize some troops from Xingyang."

"General, let's look at the map." As he said that, Han Xin pointed to a place outside Xingyang City.

"Cheng Gao?" Meng Tian wondered.

"That's right, it's right here." Han Xin nodded and said, "This place can form a corner with Xingyang and rely on each other. In this way, Xingyang City can be safe."

"According to my estimate, there are [-] soldiers and horses left in Xingyang City, so there is no need to worry about it."

"If there are troops from Xingyang, one will lead the army to support Hangu, and the other will go north to attack Zhao, which will definitely cause chaos in Zhao. At that time, it will be time for our Qin army to fight back!"

"It's just how to make a decision, it depends on General Meng Yi."

"There's no need to worry about that. I still know how capable Meng Yi is." Meng Tian spoke decisively. Meng Tian was very clear about his younger brother's ability, even though Meng Yi held the position of civil servant in the past.

However, the three generations of the Meng family served as generals in the Qin State, and military affairs can be regarded as a family tradition.

Moreover, at this time, the boundaries between civil and military are not clear. Most of the scholars pursue to mount a horse to fight and dismount to calm the people. Like Meng Yi, they are even more omnipotent.

Fu Su also nodded, obviously agreeing with Meng Tian's words.

At this moment, both Han Xin and Meng Tian couldn't help looking at Fusu, obviously waiting for Fusu's final decision.

"Since the two lovers think that this matter is appropriate, there is no need to discuss it any further!" After saying that, Fu Su was about to write down the edict.

"Gao Chong, immediately pass this edict to General Meng Yi."

Gao Chong solemnly took over the imperial edict and the tiger talisman, and was about to leave when Fusu suddenly remembered something and stopped Gao Chong.

Fusu took a deep breath, and said: "Tell Meng Yi, send a special team to carry kerosene, sulfur, saltpeter and other things to Ao Cang. If Xingyang is lost, then..."

"Raise the fire...burn the barn."

Gao Chong was a little stunned when he heard Fusu's verbal edict. In such a huge Ao Cang, Fusu obviously had the consciousness to treat him as an abandoned son.

But Gao Chong also understood that it was better to burn these things than leave them to the rebels in Shandong.

And this is obviously a last resort.

"This matter is top secret, tell Meng Yi that we must do a good job of keeping it secret and not be detected by the rebels from the six kingdoms of Shandong." Apparently, Fusu is still a little worried about this order alone.

If the spies from the six kingdoms of Shandong got to know such news, there might be targeted arrangements at that time, and by that time, his efforts to help Su might fall short.

"No." Gao Chong obviously knew the importance of this matter.

Han Xin and Meng Tian also nodded, obviously, they agreed with Fusu's decision.
