Chapter 180: The Book of Battle! 15/36

"Catapults can produce ten per day, ladders can produce twenty, nest cars need three days to produce one, as for giant siege vehicles, they cannot be built within half a month, and once these are made, the output of the rest of the ordnance will inevitably drop significantly!" The male loser still said with a faint smile.

"The eastern land is flat, and I need five giant siege vehicles, three hundred catapults, and five hundred ladders for the future!" Wei Li ordered decisively!

"No!" Kong Yiji and Gong Yisheng immediately bent down to respond.

After some time, Wei Li returned to the palace and came to the Xinjiang Palace!

"Zhiguo..."Wei Li's face was expressionless, his eyes staring at the territory of Zhiguo.

Since the last time the country ceded land and sued for peace, the population has dropped sharply by 500,000, about 130,000 young and strong, 49 cities, and 40,000 troops.

"Zhiguo, Zhiguo, you are too miserable, where you were born is not good, but you have to be in the east of Wei, alas!" Wei Ya couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhiguo, he cut half of the city last time, and now he is going to be beaten again, so he really feels sorry for King Zhi.

"Si Zhong!" Wei Li snorted lightly!

"In!" Si Zhong, who was standing next to Wei Li, immediately responded.

"Draw up a war letter, order the pawn Tian Nan to send it to the king of Zhi, tell the king of Zhi, he must fight a decisive battle with the state of Zhi, and the victory or defeat of the battle, if the country wins, the state of Wei will never violate the decree within ten years, and is willing to pay three million taels of silver as compensation, if the state of Wei wins, the forty-nine cities of the state of will, 500,000 people, all belong to the state of Wei!"

"And tell King Zhi that Lone allows him to ask for foreign help!"

Wei Li decided to fight with Zhiguo in the most popular way of war in this era, this kind of battle is a head-on battle, the two sides signed a war book, made an appointment with the location, and wrote how to defeat and win, this is the so-called war to determine the world, and the war to determine life and death!

The reason why this is the case is because Wei Li doesn't want to occupy the cities one by one, this is to taste the benefits of the Zhiguo cession of the cities, and directly send officials to hand over the cities, and there is no need to attack the city, so he can take it in one go, so why bother.

Although with the current national strength of Zhiguo, he will definitely not accept it, but Wei Li allowed Zhiguo to ask foreign countries for help, such as Wu Guo, and even in order to tempt Zhiwang, he also promised three million silver as defeat money, three million silver, compared to 10 million stone grain, Wei Li did not believe that Zhiwang could hold back!

"Huh? Three million taels? What if the country asks for help from the state of Wu? Si Zhong couldn't help but hesitate.

"Lone is to let Wu send troops, the purpose of our eastward march is to destroy Wu State, connect to the East China Sea, use the East China Sea as a natural barrier, and launch an expedition to the south and northwest, Wu State is the best to send troops, in this way, Lone can annihilate the vitality of Wu State!" Wei Ya said lightly.

After hearing this, Si Zhong understood, nodded and responded, "No!" Immediately informed Xiao Liuzi to send a herald to Tian Nan.

"Si Zhong, order Gu Wu, Xia Houde, Gongsun Xin, and Yak Niu to lead the army back to the royal capital first, the border of the Fengguo is the same, and the border of Han and Lu is in Mushroom City, only 10,000 soldiers are stationed in each country, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will go to the border of the Zhiguo to Changce, and the Bailihong round!"

"By the way, how much grain and grass does Changce have?" Wei Li first ordered, and then asked about the grain and grass for Changce.

"The last time General Baili led the army to garrison Changce, he only carried 200,000 stone of grain, and now after half a year, the 50,000 army has only consumed less than 100,000 grains!" Si Zhong said with a contemplative expression.

"It's not enough, let Xiahoude lead an army of 20,000 to return to the royal capital, take out 300,000 stone grain from the treasury, and bring it to Changce, you go and pass the order!" Wei Li looked at the territory map on the floor and called softly.

"No!" Si Zhong bent down in response, and then turned to leave.

Time passed slowly, in addition to Wang Han, Gu Wu and other generals learned of the order, and immediately acted in accordance with the king's order, and went to the border of the country to Changce, while Xiahoude led 20,000 short shield soldiers back to the royal capital, and then took out 300,000 stone heavy grain and grass from the treasury and headed for Changce.

Ten days in a flash!

The kingdom of the will, the plain city, the royal palace, the upper hall!

Since the last time the land was ceded and sued for peace, the king moved from Hecheng to the plain and re-established a royal palace, but the scale was far less than that of the Hecheng Palace, a little simple, but the simple is simple, and the sparrows are small but have all kinds of organs.

The current Zhiguo, asking for money but no money, asking for grain without food, wanting a large army without a large army, moving the capital and building a royal palace, before and after the consumption of more than 2 million stone grain, compared to the grain tax of one year in the heyday of the country.

The fifty-year-old King Zhi sat on the king's chair, his expression was twilight, his spirit was full of energy, he was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, his body was trembling, and the civil and military officials stood with their heads bowed with their faces ugly, and in the center of the hall, Tian Nan, a guest of Wei Guodian, stood in the center with a proud expression and straightened his waist.

"King Zhi, the war letter has been issued, I don't know what about King Zhi?" Tian Nan said with a faint smile on his face.

King Zhi's face was gloomy, and he said in a low tone: "Why do you Wei State repeatedly offend my Zhi Kingdom, last time Lone had already cut the city and begged for peace!" ”

"Haha!" Tian Nan laughed, "Let me tell you the truth, the goal of our Wei State is not the Zhi State, but the Wu State, the Wei State is advancing eastward, that is, to destroy the Wu State, and your Zhi State is in the middle of the two, haha, if you don't destroy you, who will you destroy!" ”

"Presumptuous!" A minister suddenly jumped out and scolded angrily.

Tian Nan smiled and didn't speak, his eyes looked at King Zhi, waiting for King Zhi to reply.

King Zhi laughed angrily, "You Wei State is so bold, and you want to destroy Wu State!" ”

"If your fist is bigger, your courage will naturally be bigger!" Tian Nan said unsurprised.

King Zhi gently closed his eyes, fell into deep thought, and after a moment of hesitation, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes and said: "The war book said that the Zhiguo can ask for foreign aid?" And after the defeat of your Wei State, you will not offend our country within ten years, and compensate three million taels of silver? ”

"That's right!" Tian Nan nodded without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, no, you must not agree!"

"Your Majesty, the wolf ambition of the Wei State must not be agreed, otherwise my kingdom will be completely destroyed!"

The ministers immediately jumped out to object, and some of them even knelt on the ground, begging the king to refuse to agree to the war letter!

"Shut up!" The king snorted coldly!

When the civil and military officials heard this, they immediately did not dare to speak.

King Zhi glanced at Tian Nan, then picked up a jade seal from the desk, and under the frightened eyes of many ministers, "Bang!" With a sound, it is stamped under the battle book, and the seal is engaged!

"It's over, it's all over!"

"Confused, confused!"

"Woo, the catastrophe of the country, your king, why do you have to agree!"

In the Manchu Dynasty, half of the ministers were paralyzed on the ground, crying bitterly, as if their father and mother had died.

"Haha, the envoy retired and returned to life!" Tian Nan chuckled, bent down to salute, then took back the battle book and left the Shangcheng Palace.
