Later generations showed that the provinces occupied by the Seven Kingdoms were mainly Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Hubei, plus one-fifth of Sichuan, and half of Zhejiang, with a total area of only 1.5 million square kilometers.

According to the level of cultivation at that time, 30 to 40 million people were accumulated in such a narrow area, and the land fertility had reached its limit. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes and nobles did not have cities and towns, and if the countries did not attack each other and annex each other, and did not rob other people's cities and lands, then there would be no land to grant to people to reproduce, and thieves would run rampant and the whole country would be in chaos. War is a helpless choice and the only relief.

It is still too late for the sea boat to connect the world, the countries are already mired in the inertia of war and cannot extricate themselves, and the common people, even the Chu people, who have no pressure to make a living, have to fight to the death with the Qin people because of hatred.

From the afternoon onwards, the common people gathered in the court in front of the palace, and at night the fire was blazing, and men, women, and children stayed awake all night. As the queen mother, Concubine Zhao didn't know that 'saving Zhao' was just a plan set by the Great Sima Mansion to lure the enemy, thinking that the Chu army was really going to save Zhao, and the whole city was announced in the great joy, and the common people in the parade were happy, and this meal was eaten until dawn.

The state of Chu issued a royal order announcing the mobilization of the whole country, and the state of Qi, which had already colluded with the Great Sima Mansion, also issued a royal order in the afternoon of the same day, mobilizing the whole country, but at least half of the Qi army had to be piled up on the Jixi defense line and the Yellow River defense line, and the Qi army that could really fight was only 200,000, and maybe even less than 200,000. The two countries of Chu and Qi were almost equal, and Wei was equal to a vassal state of Chu, and Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, naturally did not know about the collusion between Chu and Qi (Chu promised that the Qi army would not be north of the Great River), he hesitated until midnight, and only agreed to Xiangbang Cai Wen's suggestion the next morning, and ordered Wei to mobilize.

So far, the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei have all been mobilized, with 220,000 Chu troops, 400,000 Qi troops, and 200,000 Wei troops, adding up to a total strength of 820,000. This number is, of course, a theoretical number, except for the 220,000 Chu army that can all go to war, the Qi army can fight at most 200,000, and the Shangcai County and Dasong County of Wei can only send 100,000 troops because of the border with Qin. The number of people who really fought in the Triple Alliance was about 500,000.

At this time, China did not experience the imperial era, did not have the habit of pretending to be wrong, and did not understand or disdain to blow 1 or 200,000 people into an army of 800,000 or millions. When the Three Kingdoms mobilization order reached Handan, the number of coalition troops was 500,000.

Handan heard the news, and the whole city was ecstatic. The Empress Dowager regretted that she had misunderstood the King of Chu - she had heard that the King of Chu would not allow Zhao to remove Li Mu. Since Li Mu could not be replaced, once the Qin army no longer attacked Zhao, Li Mu and these generals would abolish Zhao Qian in due course and make Zhao Jia king. After thinking about it, her only choice was to remove Li Mu and negotiate peace with Qin at the same time. Unexpectedly, Li Mu was replaced, and Zhao sent people to negotiate peace with the Qin people, and Chu still rescued Zhao.

Lingyuan felt regretful, what she didn't know was that if Li Mu was not replaced, the Chu army would attack Qin in another month, and the main battle faction in the army that had gasped after the Qin army returned to help would inevitably depose Zhao Qian and make Zhao Jia king. The reason why she failed was not because of the failure of the decision, but because Zhao Jun, who had experienced three years of hard fighting and a year of drought, was too weak to complete the decision. Even so, she avoided dying at the same time as Zhao Qian a month later.

The ecstatic Handan, the excited Zhao people, compared with Xianyang, are extremely dignified. On the second day after the mobilization order of the Chu State was issued, Xianyang received the news, and on the third day, the news of the mobilization of Qi and Wei also reached Xianyang.

The specific enemy army figures taken up by the advisers of the State Captain's Office are 550,000 to 600,000, including: 250,000 of the Chu army (the 32 divisions of the Chu State are full of more than 214,000 people, and Ouyue, Minyue, Nanhai, Luoyue, and Xiou each have one dissatisfied division, plus the soldiers of the rest of the tribes, the number is about 250,000); Because Qi had to garrison Jixi, the number of troops sent was about 200,000;

Wei had the fewest people, but seven years had passed since the last war, and many children under the age of seventeen had already been registered, and if the king of Wei was desperate, he could send 150,000 troops. If the king of Wei is conservative, then he can also send 100,000 troops. At this time, the reconstruction of the girder had been completed, and the height of the wall exceeded six zhang, and 20,000 or 30,000 people could hold it for several months.

"Captain Yuguo, at the latest forty-five, the army of the Three Kingdoms to save Zhao will cross the river and travel to Gongyi." Di Dao was 1,300 miles away, and Zhao Zheng's Wang drove only 30 or 40 miles a day, and he could not return to China for a month, and now the military is all in charge of Wei Yu.

"Forty-five?" Wei Yi was a little surprised by this number, which was different from what he had known before. "The farthest Jing people are Nanyue and Luoyue, and it takes at least six months to reach the main beam."

"Captain Yuguo, it only takes 20 days for Jing Guohaizhou to go from Nanyue to Yingdu, and it only takes more than 10 days from Yingdu to Daliang." The report was Zhang Cang, a disciple of Xun Guo, who stayed in Chu for a long time after Xun Guo left Chu. The state of Chu introduced the planner into the Great Sima Mansion, and the State of Qin did so very early, and after cleaning up a group of old people, Zhang Cang entered the Governor's Mansion on the recommendation of Li Si.

"Sea boat?" Wei Yi had to admit that Zhang Cang was right. The sea boat of Chu State can travel back and forth to Xizhou in a year, and the Baiyue soldiers should go faster by sea than by land.

"What is the geometry of the Three Kingdoms?" Wei Yu asked. "How much does the sea ship transport grain, can Jing Kingdom rely on the grain of Xizhou to fight?"

"Of the Three Kingdoms, only Chu has three years of Su, and Wei Qi is only more than a year." Zhang Cang's understanding of some things in the Chu State surpassed that of others in the Guowei Mansion. "In order to save Zhao, since last year, Jing Guo has built a large number of boats to transport grain to Zhao State, and stopped building sea boats. Nowadays, there are less than 100 sea boats, each carrying 30,000 stone of grain, and even if there are 100 ships, it is only 3 million stones. ”

"The sea boat can transport 30,000 stones of millet at a time......" The sea boat has not completely entered the sight of the National Governor's Mansion before, Zhang Cang said that the volume of the sea boat is 30,000 stones per boat, Wei Yi thought about it and asked: "How many stones can a big boat transport grain?" ”

"A large ship can transport more than 1,300 stones of grain." Zhang Cang was a little puzzled.

In this way, one sea boat can reach more than 20 ships. Which is easier or more difficult to build more than 20 ships or to build a sea boat? Wei Yi's thinking was very clear, he remembered another thing, and said loudly: "Definitely! Definitely! The sea boat transports grain to Zhao, which can be transported several times a year, so that a sea boat can be built to reach 100 ships. ”

Wei Mi's voice suddenly rose, Zhang Cang was startled by him, only to hear Wei Mi say again: "Since building a sea boat can be worth a hundred boats, why don't Jing people build a sea boat and build a big boat?" ”

"This ......," Wei asked the most correct question. Although he knew the information that Chu State did not build a sea boat but built a big boat last year, he heard Zhang Cang talk about the volume of sea boats, and he sensed that it was unreasonable. But many times, even if you ask the right question, you don't get the right answer.

"Have you ever heard that King Jing demolished the palace to build a sea boat?" Zhang Cang's long stay in the Chu State has both advantages and disadvantages.

"Yes." Wei Yu nodded. "Yes."

"The sea boat is very wooden, and it takes a big chapter to build a boat, and it needs to be dried for several years." Zhang Cangdao. "The three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Zhao all demolished the palace to build a sea boat. Previously, cypress, cypress, and catalpa wood could not be used to build boats, and only oak wood, yellow berries, and elm could be used.

The boat sails on the sea, and there are hurricanes from time to time. Jingguo Haizhou has suffered several hurricanes, and every hurricane has broken the boat and destroyed people, so we have to be cautious. I thought that the Jing people did not build a sea boat but built a big boat, because the wood of the sea boat was insufficient, and there was more than enough wood for the big boat. ”

"Reasonable." When Wei Yi first heard about the similarities and differences between the wood of the sea boat and the wood of the great boat, he immediately expressed his teachings to Zhang Cang. After Zhang Cang returned the salute, he asked, "How did Mr. know about this?" ”

"I'm ashamed." Wei Yi's question made Zhang Cang a little embarrassed. "Jing people don't believe in outsiders, but they believe in relatives and old people. Lantai is the highest school house of Jing people, Cang has been in Lantai for many years, and everything is just heard. ”

"Oh......" Wei Yu realized. Among the countries, it is the most difficult for the Chu State to spy on intelligence, and the most difficult thing is that the people who go there cannot gain a foothold in the Chu State. I can't even stand on my feet, so how can I spy on intelligence.

The big war was imminent, and Wei Yu's realization was only temporary, and he had to think about how to deal with the 550,000 or even 600,000 Three Kingdoms Army as soon as possible. At this time, the Qin army had already recruited 800,000 soldiers, 500,000 under Wang Jian and 300,000 under Li Xin. Li Xin's 300,000 people have retreated to the vicinity of Gongyi to beware of the surprise attack of the Chu army, and Wang Jian's 500,000 people, except for the 300,000 who swept through the Zhao State and captured Handan, only 200,000 people could go south and merge with Li Xin's army into one army.

500,000 against 55, or even 600,000, Wei Yu has no chance of winning. If this battle is lost, not to mention the destruction of Zhao, I am afraid that all the counties east of Taihang Mountain and Hangu Pass will be recovered by the Three Kingdoms, just like the defeat of Qin by Xinling Junhe eighteen years ago. If this situation is really created, the national fortunes of the Qin State will end here.

Thinking of this, Wei Yi couldn't help but be a little restless. Today's general trend in the world is actually Qin and Chu's competition. The state of Chu regained strength, and it is getting stronger and stronger. If the Qin State could not quickly take the Zhao State and even the Qi State, it would be a matter of time before the Qin State was defeated with the rapidly changing national situation of the Chu State.

Zhao was defeated in a row, and in the dead of night, Wei Yu was as worried as Zhao Zheng, because there was not much time left for Qin. If Zhao still can't die in the past three years, both the monarch and the minister know that the general trend has gone. Fortunately, Jing Ke's assassination turned the tide around.

"Huh......" Wei Yu took a deep breath, he felt that victory was just around the corner, as long as the Qin army defeated the Hezhong army. I also felt that defeat was just around the corner, if the Qin army suffered a big defeat. But no matter what, the decisive battle at this time was beneficial to the Qin state, the Qin army was more numerically than the joint army, and the Qin army was better than the Wei army and the Qi army in terms of combat strength, but it was inferior to the Chu army.

"Prepare the car." Wei Yu shouted to the servant. He wanted to go to Zhao Zheng immediately and persuade Zhao Zheng to immediately recruit Fu men from all over the country, and then defeat the Three Kingdoms Column Army in Gongyi, so that he could dominate the world within a few years.
