Although Su Yunqing is a boss who does not squeeze his subordinates at all, it is not easy to look at Lu Buwei like this.

To tell the truth, in the face of a queen mother and a monarch, Lu Buwei is obviously really sleepy, after all, falling asleep in front of Su Yunqing and Yingzheng in this era is not as simple as falling asleep in front of a teacher or a leader in modern times.

The latter can be criticized for a few sentences at most, but the former can be punished.

However, Su Yunqing looked at the things in his hand and then at Lu Buwei, who was sleeping unconsciously, below, and finally decided to be considerate of his subordinates.

How can you say that she was the one who took Li Si away in the first place, and it's not too much, right?

After thinking about it, Su Yunqing said: "Why don't you give the prime minister two days off to take a good rest, he has been working hard these days." ”

As for the rest......

"Li Si, you can take over for the time being."

Anyway, it's unlikely that anything big will happen in two days.

Lis: "......"

Facing Li Si's suddenly blackened face, Su Yunqing didn't say much, just waved his hand and let him leave.

Su Yunqing and Ying Zheng also had to leave, but she was still more conscientious, and before leaving, she also ordered someone to take good care of Lu Buwei and not to catch a cold.

At this point, Li Si was more active than Su Yunqing, and after Su Yunqing and Yingzheng left, Li Si also deliberately gave a detailed instruction again.

Don't ask why Li Si cares so much about Lu Buwei, after all, if Lu Buwei is really sick, won't he have to smash Li Si's head for the job.

So, Lü Buwei is still fine.

Li Si looked at Lu Buwei, who was sleeping on the table, and sighed after all, forget it, if you go to work for two days, you will have two days, he accompanied Su Yunqing out to wave for a few months, and Lu Buwei was on top of it, so he didn't lose anything.

However, after Li Si turned around and left, Lu Buwei, who was sleeping sweetly on the table, slowly showed a smile.

Call you to pit me! Should!

But in any case, Lu Buwei really had a good rest after two days of vacation, and went to work full of energy after two days.

As for Li Si, anyway, he has a junior brother who loves him, so don't worry about this.

Working for Li Si, Han Fei's efficiency is high, okay?

So two days later, what Su Yunqing saw was the energetic Li Si and Lu Buwei, and by the way, there was also a Li Mu who came this time.

Regarding the attack on the Chu State, Su Yunqing was not at ease to hand it over to others, but Li Mu made her feel more at ease.

After all, although the national strength of Chu State has not been as good as before in recent years, he is still a vast country in the end, and there is a famous general Xiang Yanzai, no matter what, it is more worthy of attention than Yan or something.

The difficulty of the strategy is not at the same level at all.

As for the matter of attacking the Chu State, this was decided by Su Yunqing early on, so it is not very surprising to mention it at this time, the reason why Lu Buwei was so busy before was because he had to prepare for the attack on the Chu State.

Otherwise, do you really think that those daily affairs on weekdays can make Lu Buwei work so hard?

And in the past few months, Lu Buwei has made a lot of preparations, and he focused on this in the report he handed to Su Yunqing two days ago.

But the things that Lu Buwei brought over today are more detailed, besides, there is also a Li Mu, this is obviously not just about making some pre-war preparations, Su Yunqing really plans to set the basic policy of attacking Chu this time.

Su Yunqing and Yingzheng went out before the winter, and if they really calculated, they would get spring ploughing immediately after a few months, and Su Yunqing would start a war immediately after spring ploughing.

So it's really necessary to discuss the details at this time.

And when it comes to this, there is actually only one thing that is most important.

"What is the maximum number of troops that can be prepared after spring ploughing?"

Although it is not impossible to fight the Chu State by sending 200,000 or 300,000 in the past, it is just like a joke.

If Su Yunqing's purpose was just to bully the Chu State, then two or three hundred thousand would be enough, but if she wanted to destroy the Chu State, then the number of troops would have to at least double.

After all, the country of Chu is such a big place.

As for the question of the army raised by Su Yunqing, it was naturally answered by Lu Buwei: "If you do all the strength of the whole country, you can probably come up with 800,000 people." ”

"Eight hundred thousand?" Su Yunqing frowned: "Can't it be more?" ”

800,000 seems like a lot, but in fact, they still have to guard against the Qi State, although everyone thinks that the Qi State has no courage to be blind with the Qin State, but the Qi State is also a country with a vast land, plus because there has been no war, the army of the Qi State actually does not have much loss, and it must be no problem to take out one or two hundred thousand people.

Seeing that the State of Qi wants manpower, attacking the State of Chu requires manpower, and the State of Qin must also leave some people as a mobile force, probably similar to a brick, where it needs to be moved.

After all, none of the families in the war said that they would send out all the troops, and they didn't have anything left in their hands, and if something unexpected happened, they wouldn't have the strength to save them if you wanted to.

Therefore, there must be an additional army left in this hand as a reserve.

If you calculate it this way, it seems that a lot of 800,000 people are actually really used and it is really tight.

Lü Buwei was also very difficult about this question: "800,000 is indeed the limit, after all, the border must leave people to guard against the Xiongnu and other foreign races, and all localities must also leave the city defense troops, and there must be no one left in the country." ”

It's really all sent out, what should I do with domestic security?

I have never seen a war in which all the troops stationed in the country have been evacuated.

Su Yunqing thought for a while and said: "I think it can be changed, the domestic city defense troops should be retained, but they don't have to stay too much, you have to calculate the minimum, all the excess people will be transferred, and then the people and horses of Xianyang will also be counted." ”

Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to the meaning of Su Yunqing's words, and he immediately objected: "This matter is not allowed!" ”

It was Li Mu who shook his head and said: "Queen Mother, this move is too risky, I have no opinion on compressing the city defenses in various places, but the soldiers and horses in Xianyang must not be mobilized, which is related to the safety of you and the king." ”

After Su Yunqing took over, the original soldiers and horses were restructured, and at present, all the infantry and cavalry are combined, and the Xianyang garrison can probably get together nearly 100,000 people.

In the event of an accident, as the party defending the city, it occupies a tall and strong city like Xianyang, and 100,000 people can almost defend Xianyang.

Therefore, it can be said that the Xianyang garrison is the last line of defense for the Qin State to protect the heart of the country, considering who lives in Xianyang City, the princes, nobles and high-ranking officials of the Qin State are basically in Xianyang, plus Su Yunqing and Yingzheng are also in Xianyang, if Xianyang is lost, then the Qin State is really finished.

…… This is actually the same in any country.

When destroying the Zhao State, Su Yunqing captured Handan and the war ended, when the Yan State was destroyed, Jicheng was defeated and the war ended, when the South Korea was destroyed, Xinzheng was done, and when the Wei State was destroyed, the Great Liang was done......

In short, it is basically to end a war by defeating the capital of the other country.

It's the same with Xianyang today, if something happens to Xianyang, if Su Yunqing and Yingzheng are served in one pot, then the Qin State doesn't have to jump, what kind of Chu State is fighting, he will destroy the country, okay!

Therefore, both Lü Buwei and Li Mu were opposed to the mobilization of Xianyang's troops and horses.

But Su Yunqing didn't think so: "As long as Xianyang leaves me 20,000 people, I have the ability to guarantee that no one can break through, although I think even 20,000 people are redundant." ”

"Now that we have only two opponents left, one Chu and one Qi, do you think that Chu can divide its troops all the way deep into Qin when the two countries are at war, and finally fight directly under Xianyang City? If even the State of Chu can't do this, the State of Qi can't do it. ”

Therefore, Su Yunqing feels that Xianyang is actually very safe, really safe!

However, these words did not convince Li Mu, and he still objected: "What the Queen Mother said is true, but what about the Qi State and the Chu State that threaten Xianyang?" We just captured Wei and Yan last year, these two countries are not now peaceful, the original old forces are still strong, who can guarantee that no one among them will take the opportunity to cause chaos? ”

On weekdays, the Qin army is so strong that naturally no one dares to jump, but if most of the Qin army's army is transferred, and the domestic army is small, and there are not many people left in Xianyang, the national capital, who knows if these people will fight desperately?

Even if the probability of their success is very small, this kind of thing can't be risked at all, it is the survival of a country, and they need to say that it is not that it is probably okay, but that it must be foolproof.

This is not a matter of the cowardly, it is a matter related to the survival of the country, and it cannot be overly careful.

But Su Yunqing asked a simpler question: "Xianyang didn't have so many troops before." ”

The reason why there are 100,000 people now is because this army is now under the management of Su Yunqing, and there are not so many people who were directly under Xianyang before, and it is not good for so many generations of monarchs of the Qin State in the past?

Qin hasn't been beaten to the gate of Xianyang City yet, has he?

Li Mu and Lu Buwei frowned, they admitted that what Su Yunqing said was true, Xianyang's soldiers and horses were all in Su Yunqing's hands, and Su Yunqing had indeed expanded a lot over the years, originally there were only more than 50,000 people directly under him, but now there are 100,000 people, which is almost doubled.

…… Not to mention that there were too few people in the past, this is the army directly under Xianyang that can be mobilized at any time in the hands of the royal family, not that Xianyang only relies on 50,000 people as the last line of defense.

You forgot about Xianyang's city defense troops!

Moreover, Xianyang, as the capital of the country, is the heart of the whole country, and there are indeed many people in all kinds of things.

…… In fact, when Su Yunqing first took over, there were not even 50,000 people, and the reason why it was calculated according to 50,000 was because Su Yunqing successively pulled a lot of them into it, and then expanded it on this basis.

This is also the reason why Yingzheng succeeded to the throne after Zichu's death, and it was simply calm, and there was no discordant factor at all.

The whole Xianyang was held in Su Yunqing's hands, naturally she was whatever she said, if anyone dared to object, I was afraid that the opinions put forward in the morning would have to be broken into the house by those soldiers at night.

Holding the army itself is a very good deterrent, and Su Yunqing expanded this number to 100,000 people, which directly caused only one voice in Xianyang City today.

"I dare to say that my soldiers and horses are only stronger than before, not worse, since there were not so many people in the past, it makes no sense to be able to protect the safety of Xianyang, right?"

Although everyone wanted to say that the situation was different, the Qin State did not destroy all the other countries back then, but no one could say this to Su Yunqing.

Because Su Yunqing will also say that the army back then was not as strong as it is now.

This is not only the strength of the soldiers, but also the equipment is different, the black technology of the Mo family has successfully upgraded the equipment of the army of the Qin State, coupled with the precision manufacturing level of the Qin State that is comparable to the modern assembly line operation, if you really want to say it, the army of the Qin State should be regarded as the most well-equipped army in this era.

Therefore, the Qin army is not only of high level, but also has better equipment than before, which must not be simply the same day.

So Li Mu and Lu Buwei had to retreat, but in fact, these two didn't retreat too much, according to what Su Yunqing said, it was definitely not okay to leave her only 20,000, and in the end, everyone bargained like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and finally set the number at 60,000, and another 40,000 people were transferred.

Then Lü Buwei roughly calculated, thinking that with this plus the squeezed out from all over the country, it should be possible to make up 100,000 people, plus the previous 800,000, that is, 900,000 people.

Launching a war involving 900,000 people, even if the scale of the war at the end of the Warring States period became larger and larger, it was still a difficult thing to imagine.

And Lu Buwei also had to remind Su Yunqing: "900,000 people is already the limit, and if there are more people, it is actually useless." ”

Although there are many people in the war, there is an advantage, but it is not that the more people, the better, the brainless number of people, if the simple number of people is useful, everyone should not fight, and it would be good to compare with whom's army together.

900,000 people is the limit that Lü Buwei gave Su Yunqing, and if there is more, he said that the logistics of the Qin State will not be able to hold it.

Although the Qin State has made great progress in all aspects over the years because of the reuse of the hundred schools, and everyone's life has become richer and richer, but it has just fought a large-scale war to get rid of the Yan State and the Wei State.

Last year, a war was just fought, and this year a large-scale war was launched again, which was actually a great pressure on the Qin State.

After all, the war they fought was not just about plundering, the Qin State was to govern the land they occupied, in this case, they couldn't rob the people, the only thing they could rob was the nobles and royal families of various countries.

Even if these people do occupy a lot of wealth, why don't they spend money on what Qin State does, and due to different national conditions, after the occupation, all places have to be rebuilt according to the standards required by Qin State, such as water conservancy projects in various countries, such as farm tools in various countries, cattle seeds, and then construction of unified official roads, which all cost money!

Considering that the importance of each country and the Qin State in this regard is different, the difference in this level is really not one or two points, and if you are used to the Qin State, let you make do with other countries, Lu Buwei said that it is really unbearable if you don't even want to make do?

So all of these have to be rebuilt, plus local government departments, school halls, etc., isn't it all money?

The treasures looted from a country's royal palace can meet the needs of a country's reconstruction, and Lu Buwei has to laugh, sometimes he just puts money into it.

Therefore, it takes money to fight a war, and it costs money to send troops out, and without money, it is impossible to ensure sufficient logistical supply, and if this cannot be satisfied, no matter how many troops there are, it is a joke.

You send a million people out and a million people starve to death, and that's a good use!

Therefore, Lü Buwei calculated that 900,000 people would be very good, and if there were any more, we would have to wait to starve to death.

So Su Yunqing didn't think about where to pick out the soldiers and horses again.

Of course, the total number of people can be determined, and the next step is to make arrangements for all walks of life, knowing the bottom line, it is easy to make arrangements.

Yingzheng didn't speak about this, he usually listened, and Su Yunqing could arrange it anyway.

Su Yunqing thought about it and finally decided that this time she would not go to the front line herself, and instead gave the position of commander-in-chief to Li Mu, and in addition to Li Mu, Su Yunqing added Meng Yu again.

Meng Wei and Li Mu attacked the Chu State together, if this can go wrong, then the Qin State should pack up and go back to his hometown as soon as possible, close the door of Hangu Pass and never come out again.

And along the way, Su Yunqing said that he would leave 100,000 people for emergency use, and 100,000 people to guard the Qi country, and the rest would be given to Li Mu's side for 600,000 people, as for how to distribute these 600,000 people, it was Li Mu's business.

"The general is solely responsible for this matter."

She hadn't fought that part of Chu State, she didn't know much about it, and she didn't go to the front line, so it was better not to command blindly.

Su Yunqing has always felt that people who don't understand have no right to speak.

"I only ask the general to destroy the state of Chu, as for how to destroy it, how to fight this battle, the general has full power."

After thinking about it, Su Yunqing added: "During this period, if there is anything to do, as long as it is related to the destruction of Chu, it will all be handled by the general, if there is any temporary change on the front line, the general can also cut it first, in short, you can take full authority to deal with all related matters, and give me a report afterwards." ”

This decentralization is really thorough, and everyone thinks that Su Yunqing has done it too much.

"Queen Mother, isn't this good?"

Li Mu himself felt that this was not appropriate.

Although Su Yunqing asked him to be the commander-in-chief, it must have given him power, but he was given full authority to deal with everything, and in case of emergency, he could completely cut it first and then play it, which completely means that Li Mu can do whatever he wants.

Su Yunqing didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She said to Li Mu: "During the war, if there is any problem with the general's subordinates, let them report to you to solve it, during this period, I will not receive reports from anyone else on the front line except you, and if there is an order, I will directly send it to you, as for how to complete the task, it is also your business." ”

To put it bluntly, Li Mu is a wall, Su Yunqing and the front line are all connected to Li Mu, and if you have any orders or ideas, you can directly say them to Li Mu, and then hand them over to Li Mu to deal with, and the front line is the same, go to tell Li Mu about everything, and you are not allowed to report to the next level.

Speaking of this, Su Yunqing looked at Lu Buwei: "It's the same with the prime minister, I know that you have someone under you, but if someone asks for you, you can also send the news to Li Mu for me, and no one is allowed to report or command at a higher level." ”

These words immediately made Lu Buwei frown: "Queen Mother, this ...... Is this necessary? ”

"Of course it is necessary," Su Yunqing's words are not false: "As the commander-in-chief of the front line, no one will know the situation on the front line better than Li Mu, so it is natural to look for him if there is something, as for the things that cannot be overstepped, such a huge war involves not a small number of people, one person has one idea, one person has one order, won't this battle be disrupted?" ”

For example, Li Mu gave Zhang San an order today, but Zhang San was not satisfied, he had his own ideas, not to mention that he had a good relationship with Lü Buwei, so he passed Li Mu and reported to Lü Buwei, and then Lü Buwei gave him an order, Zhang San did according to Lü Buwei's order, what should Li Mu do over there? Could it be that Lü Buwei can know more about the things on the front line than Li Mu? In addition, Lu Buwei and Li Mu's brains are not interconnected, what if when Li Mu wants to use people, he finds that the troops originally placed in this place have already been transferred away by Lu Buwei's order, what should Li Mu do? Is the war still going to be fought?

If Zhang San and Lu Buwei have a little more like this, then what else will they fight, and it will just be a mess of porridge, okay?

Therefore, there can only be one commander, since Su Yunqing appointed Li Mu, then she can't go past Li Mu to command the army, otherwise this will be chaotic.

With Su Yunqing's words here, Lu Buwei can't say anything more.

It's just that......

"The Queen Mother only arranged 800,000 people, and what about 100,000 people?"

That's right, reserve 100,000 people, 100,000 people in Qi State, 600,000 people in Chu State, this is 800,000 people!

And 100,000!

"There are still 100,000 people who are not in a hurry," Su Yunqing's fingertips knocked on the table: "The war in Chu State cannot end in a day or two, but there will be casualties in the war, and I plan to use these 100,000 people as a reserve for subsequent supplements." ”

Cultivating reserve troops with the old and the new, even if it is one-on-one teaching, can add another 100,000 reserves, and then mix the troops, and on the premise of not weakening the combat effectiveness as much as possible, it is not much better to provide supplements to the front line than to temporarily pull some untrained farmers to supplement the battlefield?

As for Su Yunqing herself, who said that she would not go to the battlefield this time, she naturally had other things to do.
