In the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, corn and wheat are continuously cropped, and the yield is already very frightening. Sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are harvested three times a year, are not believed even if they are mentioned in overseas rumors.

For Wei Yu, from the time of the decision to attack Zhao, the Qin State adopted an indirect strategy. This is to turn the hot war between the two armies against each other and tens of thousands of soldiers into a long-term and uninterrupted warm war. If history had not changed, the Han army twenty years later would have adopted this strategy, and Fabian would have used the same strategy against Hannibal, who had invaded the heart of Rome.

Such a big plan came out of Wei Yi's mouth, and even Zhao Zheng's heart was a little swaying after hearing it. Destroying the Six Kingdoms and one day, he did not think that since the ancestor King Zhaoxiang destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and moved Jiuding to Xianyang, the Qin people had the ambition to dominate the world. It's just that he has only been in power for two years, and it is too hasty to destroy Chu, Wei, and Han in two years.

"Dare to ask Shangqing, if the Qin army is defeated again, what if?" In the end, Gong Gong is a veteran, and he doesn't ask about victory but defeat. "With an army of 400,000, one Chen Cheng has been attacking for half a year, and it has not been pulled out. There is Xiangcheng after Chencheng, and after Xiangcheng, there are Yangling, Juyang, and Huyi, dare to ask how long it will take Shangqing to pull out these cities? Jing people's boat division is sharp, my Qin State boat division can not compete, Jing country's water system is vertical and horizontal, and the pond is contiguous, if Jing people intercept my grain road with a boat division, what if?

Even if Shouying is pulled out, Jing can retreat to Jiangdong, and after Jiangdong, there is the South China Sea. King Jing has expelled the Qin envoy today, severed diplomatic relations with my Great Qin, and pulled out Shouying, will he lead the sheep and ask for surrender? Descend also. He will deal with my Great Qin to the end. Our Qin army was sloppy at that time. Why did Zhao Jun attack me? Before the destruction of Jing, what if Han Wei betrayed me? What if the Qi State attacks me? ”

The questions raised by Gong Gong made people think deeply, and Wei Yu asked instead of answering: "If you don't cut down the Jing Kingdom and let it breathe, his Rijing people will all be an army dressed in huge armor, with a huge blade hanging from their waists, and armed with spears." ”

"However, if my army cuts down Jing and King Jing does not surrender, why don't he hand over the art of iron and spear formation to the State of Qi, to the State of Zhao, and to the State of Yan. So our Qin army not only fought with the Jing spear formation, but also fought with the Zhao spear formation, but also fought with the Qi spear formation, and also fought with the Yan spear formation. Destroying thorns is not destroying the enemy, exterminating thorns is helping the enemy. ”

The more Gong Gong spoke, the more angry he became, and he finally turned to Zhao Zheng: "The king, the strategy of Mengwu, the subordinates are also." For the sake of today, a truce should be made with the Jing people. The strength of the spear array is strong in the huge armor and blade, and there are no two things that are strong. The Captain's Mansion quickly ordered people to find the art of huge iron from Jing State, and the Qin army could no longer use leather armor and bronze soldiers, but should be exchanged for huge iron armor. ”

"Fallacious. The Koreans are also good in armor and strong in bows and arrows, how is their army? "Wei Yu is still unwilling." The strength of the army is not in the armor, but in the soldiers. In the Jing army, the system of honorable soldiers is practiced, and the soldiers are not afraid of death, so the army is strong. The military is not strong in the soldiers, but in the common people, Jing Guo wants to implement a policy of emphasizing culture and education, and both men and women are enrolled in school at the age of eight. Ten years later, everyone in Jing knew the art of war.

King Jing has only been on the throne for three years, and in three years, he has the art of iron, the slinging of stones, and the boat of big wings, what about ten years? King Jing once said that he wanted to drive a boat on the sea, take the three valleys of Dongzhou, find the horses of Xizhou, and get the gold and stone of Nanzhou.

The three grains of Dongzhou, this crop can also be planted in mountainous areas, and the output is twice that of corn; The fine horse of Xizhou is nearly eight feet tall and weighs more than 1,000 catties. This horse can be cultivated in the field and can be fought in the field; The Golden Stone ...... of Nanzhou"

In the past, Xiong Jing's words in Lantai Palace were first regarded as jokes, and Li Yuan and others intended to spread them to the outside world, so that people would look down on Xiong Jing. Wei Yi went to Lantai Palace when he was in Chu and heard these words. It's just that no one dares to laugh at these words anymore, and once a miracle happens, no one will question the greater miracle.

Now, he told Zhao Zheng and others the bold words of Xiong Jing in the past, and before he finished speaking, he laughed, including Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng said: "I heard that the world is only Kyushu, how can I come to Dongzhou and Xizhou?" The horse is seven feet for the dragon, and the horse of Xizhou is nearly eight feet high, is it not the horse of the Emperor of Heaven? ”

"The king is mistaken." Wei Yu sighed. "Before the king saw the Jing people's spear array, he didn't know that the spear array could break through the Qin soldiers. The king has not seen the east continent and the west continent, and has not seen the eight-foot horse, how can he say that there is no such horse in the world? King Jing once said that Kyushu in the world is only a corner of the east of Zhongzhou. If not, how would King Zhou Mu be the Queen Mother of the West? If not, where does the white jade that the king admires come from? ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned by the question. If it is said that the Queen Mother of Zhou Mu Huixi is a literati making up nonsense, then where does the white jade he wears on his waist come from? It is not that there is no jade in China, but the jade used in the royal palace is not produced in China.

"Jade is from Kunlun, Kunlun, the source of the great river, and the extreme of the sky." Zhao Shan also did not agree with the proposal of 500,000 troops to destroy Chu, and began to speak out against it - the ancients (Han envoys) believed that the source of the Yellow River came from Kunlun, and Kunlun was in the extreme west. In fact, the source of the Yellow River is not in the direction they think it is, but in the southeast of Kunlun. Therefore, the Kunlun Mountains had to move more than 1,000 kilometers south, and the Kunlun Mountains of the pre-Qin Dynasty could only be called the Altai Mountains.

Seeing that General Zhao was arguing with himself from Guigu, Wei Yi couldn't help laughing. He said: "In the west of Kunlun, there is still the Yue Clan, and in the west of the Yue Clan, there are also states. Yue's businessman is in Xianyang, why didn't General Zhao ask? ”

Yue's merchants not only appeared in Xianyang, but also appeared in Handan, before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was not extinguished, they gathered in Luoyang. The rhino horns and jewels in the south are all sold by these people. And the silk produced by the Qin State, and even the seven countries of the world, tens of thousands of horses and tens of thousands of horses a year are all transported by them, who believes that there is no state in the west of Kunlun.

Zhao Shan was speechless. Wei Yi didn't pursue it, he waved to Zhao Zheng again: "Tell the king, the minister heard that King Jing has built two sea boats, if the sea boat is completed, you can go to the sea to find the three valleys of Dongzhou, the horses of Xizhou, and the gold and stone of Nanzhou." If you get one of them, you will suffer endlessly. ”

"King, if Zhao is allowed to destroy Yan, Zhao will gain land, and the trouble will be endless." Gong Gong said again. He suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "That Yan Guo's eldest son Dan once said to his ministers, saying that Yan Guo also has the art of refining juju, and ordered him to sacrifice it, and my Qin country can also have jujia." ”

"Is that true?" Zhao Zheng watched the two battles carefully, and Gong Gong and others also analyzed them carefully. The spear formation still relies on the giant iron, if there is no huge iron, the spearmen in the front row have been stabbed to death by the guards in the second formation.

"Indeed." Justice. "Ran Dazi Dan said that Yan Guo's refining technique is not as good as Jing Guo."

"What's the use of being inferior?" Zhao Zheng was disappointed again, he had never felt in his life which technology was so important.

"It's not as good as it. The king," Gong Gong picked up the bronze Ge who had just been cut by the sword in two sections, "Dan, the eldest son of Yan Kingdom, once offered a sword to the ministers, and the ministers fought the sword against the Jing State treasure knife, and the blade was broken, so the ministers did not dare to offer it." However, a broken blade is also a sword, and Tong Ge is broken with a blow, so what does a soldier hold to kill the enemy? The minister thought that if there was no Jing people's iron technique, he would first use Yan Guo's art of refining the iron. ”

"King, King Jing has only been on the throne for three years, and the Jing Kingdom will have a treasure sword and armor, tolerate it, what will he have in the Jing Kingdom in the future?" Zhao Zheng obviously listened to Gong Gong's words, and Wei Yi was in a hurry when he saw this. On the way to Xianyang, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Chu State was terrible. Three years, only three years after the king of Chu ascended the throne, the Chu army's armor and combat methods have taken on a new look, what will happen ten years later? He couldn't have imagined.

"Ayaw, Ayaw......" Yingdu Dasima Mansion, Xiong Jing inexplicably sneezed a few times, which made Li, who was introducing the battle in Hangu Pass, couldn't help but stop, and the others also turned their heads to look. Xiong Jing explained: "It's not unharmed. It's just warm and cold. Then you say, what if the big wings can't rush over? ”

Attacking Hangu Pass from the waterway sounded good, but Li Er's face changed when he heard it, and he said again and again. Xiong Jing's later generations had only heard of Sanmenxia and knew where the dam was, but they didn't know where it was before the dam was built.

'Three gates, namely the Zhongshen Gate, the South Ghost Gate, and the North Man Gate. Only the human door can be repaired and feasible boats, and the ghost gate is particularly dangerous, and the boat raft enters, and it is rare to get out. The width of the three gates, about 30 zhang. This is the record in the "Shaanzhou Chronicles". The "Water Injection Sutra" says: "The water flow is rapid, and it is the same as the Three Gorges, destroying boats and boats, and suffering since ancient times." ’

Li and more than ten years ago traveled to the Qin State, when he went to this section of the boat can not travel, when he came back, he deliberately went down the boat, can be regarded as seeing the three gates of gods, ghosts and people. At that time, Zhou Ji sailed through Sanmen for dozens of miles, and he dared to take a breath. Chu Guozhou is strong, but no matter how strong he is, he is relative to people, and if he wants to fight with heaven and earth, it is really self-defeating.

"Your Majesty, Da Yi will either pass this natural danger, or he will hit the boulder in the water and shatter it, and all the soldiers will die." He was a little excited, he would never agree to such a risk. "To the east of the peach forest, the river turns sharply to the east, and it suddenly closes to more than 200 steps at the third gate, and it is narrower at the third gate, less than 150 steps. The 150 steps are divided into three, and the boat can only pass through the door.

The entrance of the gate is only about 20 steps, and the exit is about 50 steps. However, the water here is turbulent, the sound of the water is deafening, the breath cannot be heard, the fog is filled, and the eye cannot see. This place of death too! Xiang Bo was eager to fight, and pulling out the letter could indeed make the Qin people cold and the six countries excited, and then ordered the Zhou Shi to go to this place of death, and the minister thought it was unwise. ”

"King, I am not afraid of death, please order the more soldiers to die here." Ou Zhe, the general of the boat division, immediately spoke. "Even if the big wings are broken, the more good I am at water, I should be fine."

"King, Chu pawns are not afraid of death, why do you need to cross pawns?" Red Mo glared at Ou Zhe. "The three doors are indeed antennas, but our army is going upstream, the speed of the boat cancels the speed of the water, and the speed of the ship is slow. If it is slow, the danger should be greatly reduced. I don't know, or what is the speed of water here? ”

The key to the big wing warship going against the water is not the danger, the key is the speed. If the speed of the water cannot be greater than the speed of the water here, it will not be able to go up.

"Knowing that Pisi has sent people to the Qin State, he will go down the river to measure the speed of the water." Don't talk to me.

"If the speed of the water here is less than eight knots, our army should be able to swim against the water." Red Rock Road.
