Coalition camp.

"You Korea did not send troops to attack Qin, but occupied your hometown for two weeks, and now you don't want to provide food and grass, how can there be such a good thing!"

The generals of the Wei State had long been jealous of the benefits gained by South Korea, and after hearing the words of the South Korean envoy, they immediately became angry and took the lead in making sarcastic remarks.

The South Korean envoy was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "South Korea is only a small country, and most of the grain and grass of the coalition army has been provided by South Korea for several months, and the national treasury has been exhausted, and South Korea has been overwhelmed. ”

"Now that South Korea has no food, even if it wants to provide food and grass for the coalition army, it is also powerless!"

Speaking of this, the Korean envoy changed his words and asked the general of Wei who had just spoken to Fang: "Cutting down Qin is not a matter of one country, except for Korea, Wei is the closest to the coalition army, and Wei is rich and there is no shortage of grain and grass, why not transport grain from Wei to supply the needs of the coalition army?" ”

When the generals of Wei heard this, they immediately shouted: "Wei sent 100,000 elite soldiers, and repeatedly fought to the death with the Qin army, and Yan only has 100,000 old and weak who have not yet produced food, why do you let Wei send food?" ”

The generals of Yan State were immediately unhappy, and sneered: "Before Yan sent troops, he had already informed King Zhao that Yan State had been fighting for many years and had no ability to supply the grain and grass needed by the army to go on the expedition. ”

"If you have any opinions, just reason with King Zhao!"

When Wei Jiang heard the word 'King Zhao', he didn't dare to say anything more, today's Zhao State has long been different from what it used to be, except for Qin, no country is willing to offend Zhao.

What's more, this time Zhao attacked Qin with the strength of the whole country, and Zhao Jia led his troops deep into the hinterland of Qin, and repeatedly made military exploits, and the countries were in awe of Zhao, how could Wei General dare to reason with King Zhao?

Seeing that General Wei didn't dare to squeak, General Yan thought of the fact that Qi State seized the land of Yan State Governor, and immediately pointed the finger at Qi State, and said: "Qi Country is rich, and there is a lot of money, grain, fish and rice, this time Qi State first took my Yan State Governor Land, and got a large number of people and money in Hedong, and the benefits are quite rich, why not supply the army with food and grass?" ”

When Zhou Zi heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, and then he sneered: "My Qi country sent 150,000 troops, and transported a lot of grain and grass to the coalition army, but the Qi country is too far away from the battlefield and consumes too much on the way, which leads to not much grain and grass transported to the army." ”

"On the other hand, the State of Chu is not only a vast land, but also a place where grain is produced, and it is not far from the battlefield, so why not supply the coalition army with grain and grass?"

When Chun Shenjun heard this, he shook his head and said: "In this battle against Qin, in addition to Zhao, Chu sent the most troops; In addition to South Korea, Chu produced the most grain. ”

"And my king and Nanjun opened up a second battlefield, since they have contained a large number of Qin troops, they will naturally consume a lot of money and grain, and the matter of grain and grass, I am afraid that the Chu State will not be able to do anything at this time."

After speaking, Chun Shenjun set his eyes on Li Mu.

The people who can represent their country here are naturally not mediocre people, and they know that there should be no infighting at this time.

However, it is not a trivial matter to supply food for the coalition army, even if the two countries are as rich as Chu and Qi, they will be dragged down by the huge strength of the coalition army.

Since South Korea can no longer afford military rations, at this critical juncture, the generals of various countries naturally want to sell each other miserably, and are unwilling to let their own countries pay for food.

Chun Shenjun set his eyes on Li Mu, not because he wanted Zhao Guo to give food, but because he wanted to know how Zhao Guo, as the initiator of this alliance, would deal with the next things.

In fact, if all countries work together to contribute money and food, although the burden of supplying the coalition army will be very heavy, it can still be supported, and it can even eventually drag down the Qin State.

It's a pity that the coalition forces come from six countries after all, and everyone has evil intentions, and they all want other countries to contribute more money, food, and effort, and enjoy their own benefits.

It was precisely for this reason that it was impossible for them to truly be of one mind and completely defeat the Qin State with their superiority in strength.

Seeing that Chun Shenjun had set his eyes on Li Mu, everyone also shifted their eyes one after another, wanting to see what kind of remarks Li Mu would say.

"It's not easy to do!"

Seeing this, Li Mu secretly had a headache and didn't know how to deal with it.

Of course, Zhao can provide some grain and grass, but unfortunately Zhao is not a big grain producer, coupled with the frequent wars in recent years, the treasury is basically empty, and it is impossible to support the huge consumption of the coalition army.

However, if Zhao Guo, as the leader of the alliance, does not pull out a dime, but forces the rest of the countries to give food, it will inevitably cause resentment among the rest of the countries, and then the alliance can be declared over.

"Why hasn't Childe come back yet?"

At this time, Li Mu couldn't help but think of the letter he received not long ago, which was written by Zhao Jia himself, informing Li Mu that Zhao Jia would abandon the army and take the lead in returning to the Hangu army.

"With Gongzi's prestige among countries, if he is here, he must be able to balance the interests of other countries."

When Li Muzheng was thinking like this, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"It's been a lively day!"

Everyone looked up and saw a young man with a heroic aura, standing at the door of the tent with a smile and a groan.

"Pingqi-kun!"

Some people who recognized Zhao Jia's identity exclaimed, and after everyone came back to their senses, they were also overjoyed and stepped forward to salute.

In particular, the generals of Zhao and Chu were extremely enthusiastic, and even showed pride in their eyes.

"Everyone is so lively, what are you discussing?"

After Zhao Jia finished saluting with everyone, he said with a little ridicule.

Zhou Zi said with a wry smile: "South Korea is unable to supply the coalition army with food and grass, and we are discussing how to prepare the coalition army's money and grain in the future." ”

Zhao Jia was puzzled: "Since there is a shortage of food, the army is retreating, why worry?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

Although they didn't want to give food, they also knew that this time the six countries attacked Qin, because the scale was unprecedented, it was the best time to completely defeat Qin, and they did not think about withdrawing troops.

At least until they reap sufficient benefits, the willingness of the countries to withdraw their troops is not too strong.

Therefore, after hearing Zhao Jia's remarks on retiring from the army, they showed such a shocked expression.

Zhou Zi was puzzled: "This joint attack on Qin was facilitated by Gongzi's efforts, and we are not ready to withdraw from the army, why did Gongzi take the lead in saying such negative remarks?" ”

Zhao Jia Zhengse said: "The King of Qin came to the front line in person, and the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, Mr. thinks, how long will it take for the coalition army to break through the defense line of Hangu Pass?" ”

Zhou Zi pondered for a long time and replied: "At least in April, at most in half a year, or even longer." ”

Zhao Jia spread his hands and said: "Winter is gradually approaching, how much manpower and material resources will be consumed for the winter clothes and heating wood needed by nearly a million troops?" ”

Zhou Zi was silent.

Zhao Jia asked again: "Even if we can survive this winter field, we can only break through the defense line of Hangu Pass in April, half a year, or even longer, and we can afford the money and food consumed?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all silent.

Zhao Jia sighed and said: "The destruction of Qin is not a matter of one day, this war has greatly weakened the Qin State, the strategic goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue to consume the Qin State." ”

"In my opinion, retiring now is the best policy!"
