Chapter XXIX

Sui, Tang two counties alone in the west of Hengshan, although there is Dahong Mountain in the west, there is a mountain in the south to protect the fence, but in the Qin army under the overwhelming offensive of Mount Tai will inevitably be lost. Dou Yu Pheasant had expected this result, he thought that he would be peaceful for more than ten or twenty years, but he didn't expect this day to come early because of Xiong Jing.

In the eyes of ordinary Chu people, Xiong Jing is the holy king of the Chu people from heaven, but in the eyes of the old people, Xiong Jing is completely the scourge of the Chu State. From the first day he became the crown prince, he has been causing trouble for the Chu State, first the rebellion of Yingdu, then the battle of Jiangyi, the battle of Chengyang, then the battle of Qingshui, followed by the battle of Chen Ying and Pingyu.

Except for the Battle of Jiangyi and the Battle of Pingyu, the rest of the battles were all victorious, but the Chu State paid a heavy price for this, the grain stock was almost exhausted, the fee had exceeded 100,000, and the soldiers who died in battle and disease were nearly 100,000. Now that the Qin army is leading an army of 800,000 to attack Chu again, even if Chu is lucky enough to win again, how many people will be killed in the battle, and how many cities will it lose?

This is the opinion of many old people, and this is also the ultimate reason why they supported Yang Wenjun before and refused to send troops and food to the king. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to complain. The trend of Qin's annihilation of the world has appeared after the end of the Battle of Changping more than 20 years ago, and the reason why it has been delayed until now is only because the kings of Qin have died one after another, and now the king of Qin has been on the throne for ten years and has begun to govern in person, destroying the six countries and one day in this twenty years.

The state of Chu benefited from geography and may survive to the end. But you can die early and die late, and the result is the same death. The later the Qin people were stopped, the less likely it would be that the Chu State would survive alone. Since the king is willing to bridge the rift between the royal family and the old man's family and rebuild trust instead of being suspicious of each other as before, the Dou clan is willing to repay the favor, even if it sacrifices Tang County.

Dou Yu was shocked by the pheasant's words, and Yin Muboxun's face turned pale in an instant. Sui and Tang are one, if the Tang County soldiers climb over the Dafu Mountain (Tongbai Mountain) and pull out the Fuyi, the Qin army will inevitably cross the Dahong Mountain, accompany the tail mountain and perish with the two counties of the Tang Dynasty.

"What do you think?" Dou Yu Pheasant is obviously old, but he can take the initiative in speaking and doing things, and he is aggressive.

"The minister thinks, the minister thinks ......" Mu Boxun looked at him, and then looked at Xiong Jing, thinking that he didn't think there was a result for a long time.

"Mu Qing don't worry about the fiefdom," Xiong Jing said first, "No, you can seal Haiyan to you." If you are afraid of being desolate, you can seal it in Guyang, Wudi (now Dantu). Douqing, don't ......"

Before Xiong Jing could say the place, Dou Yu Pheasant said: "The minister does not ask for the Jiangdong fief, the minister only asks for the king to be a vassal in Chengyang after pulling out the Jiyi." ”

"Chengyang is at the forefront." Xiong Jing was a little surprised. In this situation, it is only true that it can be sealed to Jiangdong, and it is better to seal it to Yuedi, no one wants to stay in Jiangbei, and no one wants to seal it in Huai, let alone the front line.

"The minister is not afraid of the Qin people, the minister only wishes that the Qin people are afraid of me if the Ao clan." Dou Yu Pheasant said in a deep voice.

"The ...... of the king" Li and Yi Su spoke at the same time, and they all saw that what Dou Yu Pheasant wanted was not land, but military power.

"No!" Xiong Jing waved his hand to stop the two, and looked at Dou Yu Pheasant and agreed without hesitation.

"King Xie." Fight in the pheasant is happy. If Chengyang becomes a fiefdom of the Dou clan, it will be able to raise an army of at least three or four hundred times.

"That being the case," Li Ji saw that he couldn't stop it, so he had to breathe a sigh of relief, "Our army should take the battle of Jiyi first, and then fight on the front line of the big river." ”

If Fuyi is taken, the three-way Qin army will naturally lose one road, but the other two, especially the Rushui Cai, will greatly increase the number of troops. It is because some Yin Gong frequently looked at Dou Yu Pheasant, but the Dou family destroyed the family and relieved the country, and no one could say a word.

Originally, this military meeting was only ventilated, mainly to introduce the situation of the enemy and our army, but now that Dou Yupheasant has put forward the operational concept, the next step is naturally for Sima and the combat department of Sui and Tang counties to discuss the detailed battle plan for Jiyi and the migration plan for the common people.

Migration is a headache! In addition to Suixian, Yiyi and Jiangyi to the west of Rushui; Fanyang, Yuxian, Raccoon Dog, Yiyi, and Liyi between Rushui and Yingshui; Yangxia, Kuxian, Chengfu, Xinyang, Xinyi, Sansang, Minglu, Ziwu, Ganxi, Ziyi, Fangzhong and ...... between Yingshui and Lishui, these cities will be moved, and Dingkou will be as big as one million.

The migration of a million people is a difficult task even for future generations, let alone in this era. And now it is May, even if the armies of Qin, Wei and Han send troops in September, it will only be four months. It is absolutely impossible to move millions of people to Jiangdong in four months, so we can only move to the south of Huaishui first, which will have two results:

The Chu army successfully attacked Luoyang and Aocang, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han were not allowed to retreat, and the people returned to the city, and the enemy army may come again when they are planted in the spring next year;

Another outcome was the defeat of the Chu army, and the enemy army captured all the cities west of Lishui and north of Huaishui, and then the two armies faced each other across Huaishui, and Yingdu was under the front of the Qin army. If this is the case, if the people who moved to the south of Huaishui do not return to their hometowns and have no land to cultivate, they will starve to death in the current reality.

One million people, even if they are hanged with one stone of millet a month, will need 162,000 tons of millet (12 million stones) a year. It is impossible to hope for grain in one's own country, and it takes only three years to accumulate one year's corn, and minus the one million people who do not cultivate, and the remaining two million people can only feed 600,000 people with corn surplus every year. It is one thing to accumulate these corns, but it is another thing to mobilize these corns to the Huaishui line.

Moreover, the yield of millet rice per mu in Chu State was lower than that of the Three Jin Dynasty. In the Wei State, the yield of one and a half stones per mu is already the lower field, the yield of two stones per mu is the middle field, and the yield of the upper field needs to be more than two and a half stones per mu. Wei mu is a hundred steps of mu, converted into Xiong Jing familiar with the later mu, the yield per mu of Xia Tian should be 148 city jin, Zhongtian 197 city jin, Shangtian 247 city jin. The agriculture of Chu is cultivated by fire and water, and there are few cattle ploughing, and the yield can be seventy percent of that of Wei, so thank God.

The real hope can only be Aocang, only by capturing the more than 40 million stone corn in Aocang, this million people can immigrate to Jiangdong, and the current food shortage in Chu can be finally solved.

Food is important, and capacity is also critical. With all the boats of the Chu State, it can only transport 200,000 people at a time. The shortest way to migrate from Huaishang to Jiangdong is to transfer Feishui from Huaishang, Feishui to Luxian (Hefei), and then walk or directly from Shishui to Chaohu Lake, and then enter the Yangtze River from the wet water in the southeast of Chaohu Lake, which is about 600 li;

After entering the Yangtze River, it is not along the Yangtze River, and there is a Xuxi Canal that Xiong Jing has never heard of in this era, which is rumored to be opened by Wu Zixu and Chu. The approximate route is Jiuzi (now Wuhu), Gucheng (now Gaochun), Lingping (now Liyang), Chuyi (formerly known as Jingyi, changed to Chuyi because of the name of avoiding Xiongjing). Now Yixing), and then into Zhenze (now Taihu Lake).

After Zhenze, there was a hundred feet of desecration excavated by King Goujian of Yue. It started in Wucheng (now Suzhou), passed through Li (now Tongxiang, Jiaxing), and entered the Qiantang River in Hezhuang Mountain. From Jiuzi to Hezhuang Mountain, the whole journey is about 900 miles.

In this way, from Yingdu to Hangying, the whole journey adds up to at least 1,500 miles, and the round trip is 3,000 miles. In other words, if everything goes well, theoretically it will take at least one round trip once a month. With such a long distance, doubling the time is highly likely. This does not include the section where the Huaishang commoners arrived in Yingdu, nor did it include the section where they arrived in Hangying, and then followed the Qiantang River to the place of migration.
