The two histories stood outside the curtain, but the curtain was closed by the maid, and only the voices inside could be heard, and the almost naked body of the spirit robe could not be seen. Strangely enough, there was still a sound in the tabernacle, but at last there was no sound at all.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother......" Zhao Qian rushed in with a cry, Miao Chang wanted to stop him, but Miao Chang was too old to stop him at all.

"Why is the queen ......" There are more and more ministers gathered in the main bed, but the queen and the prince are nowhere to be seen. In addition to these two people, Guo Kai was shocked to find that the Marquis of Chunping actually walked with the queen.

"The ministers pay a visit to the queen and the eldest son." The ministers bowed when they saw Lingfu and Zhao Qian, and did not salute the Marquis of Chunping.

"The King, the King——!" Zhao Yan's body was cold, but the spirit robe still pounced on and cried bitterly, and with her, the young Zhao Qian also cried.

"The queen, please mourn, the king has fallen, and the misfortune of Zhao Guozhi is also. However, the kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day, and the king has ordered his ministers to appoint the eldest son as king. "Xiangbang Sikong Ma did not investigate why the queen came late, he is Xiangbang, and he must ensure that the new king ascends the throne smoothly.

"Ahem, cough ......" Chunping Hou, who was standing outside the circle, coughed heavily, and the spirit who heard the sound stopped his tears and said: "The king has fallen, and the new king wants to be enthroned as the king, but the king has said with his concubines and concubines, if it is a fall, he should take Chunping Marquis as the prime minister and assist the eldest son to ascend the throne." ”

"Ahh......h

"Ah......" Guo Kai looked at the spirit robe, and then looked at Chunping Hou, who squeezed everyone away and walked towards the spirit robe and the crown prince, his mind was running rapidly, he first bowed deeply to Zhao Yan, and then raised his head without the slightest doubt, and said categorically: "This is indeed the case." The king once said that Sikong Ma is the doorman of Wenxin Hou, and my Zhao State regards it as a state, and the king of Qin hates it, so he instructed his ministers to say that he should take Chunping Marquis as a state, so ......"

"Although Mr. Sikong is not my Zhao State Minister, he is also my Zhao State Secretary." The blush of the climax of the spirit robe also appeared on the jade neck, and the candle flame of the sleeping room was eclipsed when the eye waves flowed.

The courtiers were stunned for a moment. At this time, no matter how stupid a person is, he knows that the queen has an affair with the Marquis of Chunping, and if he is a little smarter, he can guess the reason for the queen's late arrival - the queen and the Marquis of Chunping came together, and they must be fornicating in the small bed. Only Sikong Ma hated him, but unfortunately he was a guest, and Zhao Yan's appreciation of him did not mean that the new king, queen, and Taifu also appreciated him. He gritted his teeth and untied the seal on his waist, and then said to the spirit robe: "Since the king has a life, the minister is willing to go to his post and let the virtuous." ”

"Mr. Sikong is still my Zhao Guoshang." The white jade-like slender hand of the spirit robe took over the seal untied by Sikong Ma, and she immediately said to the ministers: "The king has fallen, the eldest son is young, and the concubine can only entrust the state affairs to the Marquis of Xiangbang Chunping. ”

"Ministers......" Guo Kai frowned, he didn't seem to see the inquiring gaze of the city guard Zhao Cong, he only respectfully bowed to Lingyuan and Chunping Marquis, and shouted with the ministers: "...... The ministers respectfully accept the order. ”

"According to the news, the Qin army is mobilizing various armies. The border armies of Mianxu, Yiqu, Fushi and other places are converging towards Xianyang, the garrisons of Xianyang, Lantian, Jinyang, and Bashu are converging to Luoyang, Nanjun is recruiting people from Fu, and Hangu Pass has been stationed for more than ten days because of the transportation of military rations. Another Qin envoy rushed to Linzi, wanting to say that the king of Qi even attacked me, and said that this time he sent 300,000 troops to attack Chu, Han and Wei, and Qin sent 500,000 troops......"

Yingdu Dasima Mansion, the director of the Zhibi Division, I introduced the latest trends of the Qin State. Hearing that the Qin army sent 500,000 troops, it seemed that the cylinder of the steam engine had broken in the house, and there were all exclamations and sighs. Fortunately, Xiong Jing was present, and the exclamations and sighs quickly subsided, replaced by a deathly silence.

"Zhibisi thinks that the king of Qi has no intention of connecting with the three kingdoms, and the ministers of the court and the central government are also opposed to the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han." Don't let me say, "800,000 troops attack me, this is a war to destroy the country, if my Chu country is destroyed by Qin, Qi and Qin border Muling, and the Qi country is in danger."

If the Qi State does not send troops, due to the restrictions of transportation, the 800,000 army should be divided into three ways to attack us: one way from Chengyang, Chengyang is more than 600 miles away from Nanjun, and the four-wheeled carriage can support the baggage of the 200,000 army; All the way from Rushui, that is, Cai above the Wei State, this road may be the Qin-Han coalition army, with a strength of about 15 to 200,000; The last way is still Chen Ying, with a force of between 300,000 and 400,000.

At present, the Qin army is gathering troops, and it is expected that the deployment of troops and the transportation of grain and straw will be completed after March, and in August or September, Zhibisi thought that at that time, the three-way army would march at the end of August and the beginning of September, and the expedition at this time would not only be able to eat in Chu, but also make me have no time for the autumn harvest.

In addition, it is reported that a flying pole has also been erected in the suburbs of Xianyang in the Qin State, and if the Qin people compile a flying code or imitate my flying code......"

"Not impossible." Yi Su had to interrupt. "When the Flyer station was broken, the Flyers burned the Flyer Book and killed themselves, and there was no possibility of copying it."

"Is it possible to compile a workable flight code?" Don't hesitate to look at Xiongjing. These are the genius inventions of the king.

"Maybe." The Qin people established the Feixun station, and it is likely that they already knew that the Feixun was supported by Lu Lijing. The front line has already captured the Lu Lijing polished by the Shaofu of the Qin State, which means that the flying system is no longer difficult for the Qin State. Xiong Jing replied vaguely, and then he looked at Cai Wen, Cheng Jie, Xiao Aoshuo, Peng Xuan, Dou Yu Pheasant and others who entered the Great Sima Mansion for the first time, and asked, "Do you still think you can negotiate peace with the Qin people?" ”

The counties contracted to the old man's clan were all in the west, and they naturally didn't want to fight with the Qin State, and after suing the temple, these people gradually proposed to negotiate peace with the Qin State, but they never expected the Qin army to fight again. Last time 400,000 troops were sent, and this time 500,000 troops were sent.

According to the estimation of Zhibisi, 500,000 is the scale of the army directly under the King of Qin near Xianyang after mobilizing the border army and Xianyang, which can be described as a national army. And they are no longer as focused on containment as before, and they are likely to bypass the fortified city and go deep into the hinterland of the Chu State.

Xiong Jing asked, although Cai Wen and Cheng Jie were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only reply: "Since the Qin people have sent troops to attack me, there is nothing to talk about. ”

"What do you think?" Xiong Jing remained silent, he was always trying to find a way to pull his old man to the position of Qiu Qin, but it was useless for him to pull, and the best way was for the Qin army to attack Chu.

"I think I should strike first." Fight in the pheasant road. "200,000 Qin troops came from Nanyang County, and after arriving in Chengyang, tens of thousands of people were left outside the city, and the rest passed through Yiyi to Xixian and Xincai, and the army on this road occupied the land west of Rushui; Shang Cai's army went down the river and occupied the land east of Rushui and west of Yingshui. The military ministers of the chasm thought that they were not attacking Chen Ying, Chen Ying was in the west of the chasm, and this place was sandwiched by the chasm and Yingshui, except for Chen Ying, there was nothing to attack, and his army should march to the east of the chasm, attacking the hinterland of our Chu country. ”

There are some differences between Dou Yu Pheasant's judgment and the Operations Division, but it is not unreasonable. If the Huai River is a tree trunk from west to east, then Rushui, Yingshui, Haoshui, and Surabaya are obliquely growing branches. Hundreds of thousands of troops must choose waterways for hundreds of miles and thousands of miles of battles, so that Cai's army corresponds to Rushui, and Chen Ying's army corresponds to the chasm-Yingshui, which is just right into Huaishui. Even if you can't capture Shouying south of Huaishui, you can still sweep all the cities of Zhihua and Zhihua.

Without these cities, the state of Chu would lose at least two-fifths of its Dingkou and one-third of its arable land, leaving only a small half of the Song and Lu lands east of Lishui in Huaishang. If the 800,000 army divides up all the way and attacks Chu along Danshui-Surabaya, then even the Song land west of Pengcheng will be lost, and then only Lu land will be left in Huaishang.

If this is the case, then the Qi State is likely to send troops. The armies of Qin, Wei and Han were devastated, and once the land of Chu and Huai was lost, Qi would not be able to face each other with the Qin army across the Muling Pass. He must at least seize the area south of Jucheng, preferably to Xiapi, followed by Tancheng, otherwise as soon as Muling Pass is broken, the Qi State will die.

“…… Thus marching, and transporting grain in a four-wheeled carriage, should avoid our boat division......"

"Ahem...... cough" Lu Yangjun coughed for a while, Dou Yu Pheasant looked at him, and only after thinking did he understand why he was coughing - the king invented the Bailong waterwheel, which was used less by the Chu people, and the farmers of the Sanjin and Qin countries used it more, and finally used these waterwheels to soak Chen Ying;

Before the invention of the four-wheeled carriage, the Qin army only had a double-wheeled carriage, with a daily loss of 8.8%, a transportation time of 11 days, and a transportation distance of only more than 300 miles, which was not as efficient as a three-person chariot; The daily wear and tear of the four-wheeled carriage is less than one-tenth of that of the two-wheeled carriage, only 0.85%, the transportation time (1/0.85%) is 117 days, and the transportation distance can theoretically reach 3,500 li (60 li or 25 km/day).

This is the data of 1.5 tons of grain per cart, if the road conditions and the load of horses are fully considered, each cart can only be loaded with about one ton, the daily loss rate is 1.27%, the transportation time is 78 days, and the transportation distance is still 2,340 miles. Such a long distance can already be transported directly from Xianyang to Yingdu. With the scale of the Qin State's annual surplus of hundreds of millions of stone millet, he didn't care about the losses on the road at all.

The more you do, the more you die, this is the true portrayal of Xiong Jing's innovative inventions. This is also one of the laws of innovation and invention, and it is always the largest that benefits the most, and the non-inventors who benefit the most. Although the giant iron, trebuchet, thorn crossbow, and large-winged warboat were strictly controlled, the changes brought about by them were only tactical, and only the four-wheeled carriage could revolutionize the late transportation system of the Qin army, so that the Qin army had greater redundancy in strategic choices.

Xiong Jing's face became ugly when he heard the four-wheeled carriage, although the four-wheeled carriage was stolen and copied by the Qin people in the Battle of Jiangyi, but this was still his fault. If he hadn't built a four-wheeled carriage, how could the Qin army use a four-wheeled carriage?
