"Yue's dog." As he spoke, King Qin pulled out a Qin State long sword behind him and slashed at the corner of the case.

The corner of the case was cut off at once.

"Wang Qian. Check this out. Saying that, King Qin motioned to Zhao Gao to take the battle report from the north.

After Wang Jian quickly browsed, he was taken aback.

"Let's see." King Qin ordered.

Shang Wen was still wondering, what was the situation, why even Wang Jian was startled. Next to see Shi Lis. Li Si was still so calm after reading it. I couldn't see any expression. And then there was the lieutenant. Wei Yu was also frightened.

The same is true for Feng Quji. Shang Wen took it for some reason and was taken aback. Here is a plan to raid the Yue Clan, in the north. The Yue clan has already taken the lead.

Judging from Meng Tian's battle report. The Yueshi attacked a patrol base set up by the Qin army deep in the grassland. Extremely serious casualties. And a large area of grassland has fallen into the hands of the Yue people.

Meng Tian also elaborated. If the current Yueshi people are not contained, it is very likely that they will go further south. The first to bear the brunt is the Guyang Iron Works, the Hetao Plain. The main source of horses in the Qin State.

Shang Wen gasped deeply. This is a serious threat to the fledgling industry. Especially the production of iron. There is only one iron factory in Guyang, where there is a prototype of modern iron smelting.

Perhaps they have just learned to smelt iron with coke. Now they are facing the threat of being overwhelmed by a large army.

Shang Wen looked at it carefully. The battle report did not mention the specific number, but Meng Tian put forward his own guess, and the military force used was about 200,000. It is speculated from the stronghold of the patrol that was attacked. Most of it is elite.

Shang Wen handed the battle report to Wang Ben. After Wang Ben read it, he quickly handed it to Yang Duanhe. Fortunately, Yang Duanhe is a soldier and doesn't care about this kind of small etiquette. After all, this is military intelligence.

"Let's talk about it." King Qin quickly controlled his emotions.

"Your Majesty, this Yue clan is really hateful. The land that my Great Qin soldiers shed blood and sacrificed can really be given to others in vain. Didn't say it, hit. Wang Ben said with a strong face. Shang Wen smiled secretly in his heart. No wonder Lao Tzu wants to take care of this kid. There is no trace of the composure of a general.

Wang Jian carefully pulled Wang Ben and stared at Wang Ben with stern eyes. It seems to be a deep rebuke.

King Qin obviously saw such a small action. Then he said, "What is the great general's opinion?" ”

"The minister believes that the first thing to do is to find out the purpose of the Yue clan. Then make the appropriate adjustments. Wang Jian said calmly.

"Yes, that's good." King Qin first recognized this attitude of not being surprised. The reason, the specific situation has not been clarified, so the troops were rashly dispatched. This is not the wind of generals. Nor is it the work of a general.

"Lis." King Qin pointed out.

"The minister is here." Lees replied.

"But there is a high opinion." King Qin asked.

"Minister. The minister was thinking about how to use grain and grass for the Yue clan and my Great Qin. And this man. Lees said.

"Yes. It makes sense. King Qin said approvingly.

At this time, Shang Wen had to admire Li Si a little, and also praised the sense of responsibility of the civil and military officials of the Qin State for performing their duties. That's the most effective organization. When the country encounters a crisis, the first thing that comes to mind is what is within one's own control. Such a government is a government that has responsibilities. This has already doomed the Qin State to fail.

"What is Mr. Qin's opinion?" King Qin asked Shang Wen.

And Shang Wen was thinking about a problem pretentiously, that is, how to solve the problem of logistics and supply. In particular, the area of this operation is far larger than I imagined. From the north, to the south of the Hexi Corridor. The military forces to be requisitioned may not be much, but the large number of logistical supplies to be requisitioned is enough to compare with the destruction of the six eastern countries. Moreover, the horses used far more grain and grass than the soldiers' rations. In particular, to carry out long-range sneak attacks.

If this concept is relatively vague, then the story of Huo Qu's disease that occurred in the Han Dynasty later can be explained. Moreover, the Qin State now not only has to do the surprise expedition that Huo Qubing does, but also has to fight like Wei Qing did with the northern Xiongnu.

This is how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's martial arts were established. But then the empire was in great trouble. If this is the case, there will be no hope for the Qin state to be unified. In particular, his own generation does not look down on the unification of the Qin State. This greatly damaged the strength of the Qin State.

Then, it will take at least another generation of strength for the Qin State to condense the current national strength of the Qin State. If the war drags on for a long time. It's going to get even worse.

This may be the result that Lees is considering. As he spoke, Shang Wen looked at Li Si. But it's strange why everyone is looking at me. Shang Wen saw it with some puzzlement.

"Mr. Qin." King Qin shouted.

"Oh. The minister is here. Only then did Shang Wen realize that he was thinking about the problem and thinking about it.

"What is your opinion, sir?". King Qin asked.

Shang Wen shook his head helplessly. Shang Wen himself didn't know what to say.

King Qin was a little lost. After all, many good ideas came from Shang Wen. Now, I don't have an idea.

Shangwen is also looking for a solution. The first thing that came to mind was to issue government bonds and organize a war of aggression with a business model similar to that of the East India Company. However, that was too long. Moreover, I don't know if I can make it in time.

National debt. After discovering the consequences of the national debt, Shang Wen did not know the background of the Qin State at all. What to take to issue Treasury bonds. The family is all in Lisina. Will people give? Shang Wen apparently vetoed such an answer.

If it really had to be fought according to the current model, this war would actually be a lose-lose war, and the Qin State would have gained a large area of land. But what can be done. The country's strength has been severely weakened. Quite possibly. The six eastern countries took advantage of this to rise.

Oh my God, I'm going to be the great sinner of history. I didn't expect that I proposed to attack the northern nomadic tribes, and I actually stabbed such a large hornet's nest. Shang Wen felt a little headache when he thought of the huge logistics problems after sending out the troops.

On the other hand, Li Si was describing in detail the manpower and material resources that needed to be mobilized after sending troops. This operation was an operation in winter, and a large amount of materials were consumed in winter operations. And this time it was offered in three ways, three of which had a large number of cavalry to fight. Completely unfamiliar geography. The Yue Clan is thousands of miles away. Extremely long supply lines are required.

There is nothing wrong with what Lees said. Everyone is very recognized. Historically, too. Whether it is Huo Quai, or Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty. There is a price to be paid for long-distance travel, and besides, these areas. Or an enclave. The so-called enclave. It's just that you can only fight. land that cannot be occupied.
