There are 2,000 miles from Yingdu to Zhao Guojing, but this road needs to pass through the eastern county of Qin, and the Feixun route can only pass through Qi State, crossing the Yellow River and Hutuoshui to bypass the war zone, and the actual mileage is more than 3,000 miles. 3,000 miles, according to the latest Feixun station construction standards, stations are set up every 20 li, and the line needs at least 150 Feixun stations.

A piece of news came from the front line of Jingcheng, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour. But if any of the telecommunications stations fail, or if it rains, snows, or is vandalized by the enemy, the messaging will be interrupted. The bears would summon Aristotle IV in the afternoon, mainly because the court council lasted until the afternoon.

If Zhao is defeated in the decisive battle, it is inevitable to save Zhao, but when to save Zhao The courtiers have different opinions. Lian Po returned to Zhao to garrison the Great Wall of Zhao south of Handan, and if Li Mu was really defeated, then he would inevitably retreat to Handan for the second battle of Handan. Twenty-seven years ago, the Battle of Handan was still talked about by the people of the time, that time the people of Handan cooked their bones and changed their sons, the nobles scattered their family wealth, and the wives were incorporated into the Shiwu, and they finally waited for the rescue of Chu and Wei for three years, and the Qin army was defeated.

Since more than 20 years ago, Zhao State could hold Handan for three years after the defeat, now Zhao State can hold on for at least two years. What's more, from the beginning of the next year, the annual import of Su into Zhao will reach 10 million stones, and there will be arrows produced by the Three Kingdoms and armor produced by Chu State imported. Therefore, if Li Mu is defeated, there is no need to rush to save Zhao, he should slow down and save Zhao after at least two years.

There are disagreements on when to save Zhao and how to save Zhao. Is it like last time, to directly join forces with the Wei soldiers to save Zhao, or to implement the old Ying's battle plan, attack Qin and save Zhao?

There are many discussions, each with its own reason. Two years later, the state of Zhao and the state of Chu were rescued more - in the first year after the end of the war with the Qin state, production had not yet recovered, and the corn was only seven million stones that year; In the second year, it was determined that the policy of accumulating millet for planting wheat and mulberry hemp for a large amount was determined, and 12 million stones of millet were accumulated; In the third year, that is, last year, the whole country began to plant wheat on a large scale, accumulating 26 million stone of millet; Starting this year, the accumulation of millet is expected to reach 30 million stones, but since last year, it has to subtract the millions of stone millet imported into Zhao every year.

If Zhao is saved this year, the accumulation of millet is only more than 70 million stones, which is only enough to support a year and a half; If Zhao is rescued after planting in the spring of the following year, then he will be able to accumulate an additional 60 million stones of millet, reaching more than 130 million stones, minus the corn imported into Zhao, and the accumulated millet can be eaten for two and a half years. Even so, the war would have been very difficult if it had been going on for three years.

Wei has a surplus of 30 million stone millet every year, but 20 million of them have to be supplied to Qi, and there is only 10 million stone left every year. The state of Chu adjusted grain production, and two years could accumulate one year's corn, but the Wei state needed three and a half years to accumulate one year's corn, so there was no situation in which Wei supported Chu at that time, but Chu was needed to support Wei. Qi State can not be self-sufficient in food, it is determined that the large-scale accumulation of millet is a matter of last year, and the year after tomorrow to save Zhao, Qi State has two years of accumulation of millet Thank God.

The number of Gluttonous boats is increasing year by year. Twenty-five ships were launched this year, plus last year's ten, for a total of 35 ships. Thirty ships will be launched next year and the year after, bringing the total number to 95 at the time of the war. However, India and Chu could only go back and forth once a year, and during the war, they produced 100 sea boats, and the total number was only about 200. Even if the rice is transported by hulling, it can only transport 10 million stones a year.

The state of Chu needed 54 million stone millet per year, the state of Wei needed 36 million stone millet per year, and the state of Qi needed 82 million stone millet per year. 10 million stone can't be said to be a drop in the bucket, but it must be more monks and less porridge. The Qin State sits on the three major plains of Bashu, Jiuying, and Guanzhong, and more than 10 million Dingkou in the country are not ploughing or fighting, and the corn is almost endless.

With the current situation of the Three Kingdoms, it is safe to save Zhao in the year after tomorrow, but what if Zhao State can't survive the year after next? Xiong Jing wanted to propose a court decision, but Zhao Guo's message never came. Only when it is certain that the Zhao State is defeated, the court duel will be meaningful.

Within a few days, Feixun inquiring about the situation of Zhao State went north from time to time, and it was not until the fourth day that accurate information came, saying that while the tributaries of the Yellow River were frozen, a Qin army crossed Changcheng and cut off the Feixun line, and the Feixun station could not transmit the news in the wind and snow, so no news of the Qin army's attack was issued.

"The Qin army cut off the flying news, and the two armies decisively." The cold wind was howling outside the bed, and Nao Cunning and the others came to report after receiving the message.

"If it is decided, the winner can be divided in three days." When it came to the decisive battle, Xiang Yan couldn't help licking his lips, he missed the smell of blood and the roar of the drum. It has been three years since the end of the last war, and in the past three years, the Chu army has changed dramatically, but it has been sitting back and watching the Qin army attack Zhao.

"Can Zhao Jun win?" Xiong Jing asked again. He only remembered that before the fall of the Zhao State, Li Mu had defeated the Qin army once.

"King Yu, the Qin people knew that the Zhao people wanted to fight a decisive battle, and they knew that Li Mu's cavalry was very strong, so they mobilized the cavalry of the whole country to fight." Don't tell me. "It is reported that there are more than 30,000 Qin cavalry troops, and another 2,000 cavalry."

"Two thousand?" Of course, it is clear what Xiong Jing is, and what he said well is the continuation of Qin Mugong's cavalry, and what he said badly is the cottage of the heavy cavalry of the Chu State. However, even if it is a copycat, it is not something that ordinary foot soldiers can resist. The horses of the various countries had leather vests long ago, and the soldiers of the Qin army had stone armor, and if they really rushed into battle like the heavy cavalry of the Chu army, the Zhao army would not be able to resist.

Xiong Jing was worried about the domain rider itself, but Nao Cunning and the others were concerned about the number of domain riders. Because of the restriction of the weight of horses, the Chu army has only 500 heavy horsemen so far, while the leather armor worn by the Qin army and the stone armor worn by the knight are lighter than the heavy cavalry of the Chu army, and there is no standard, the number is naturally several times that of the Chu army.

"Now that the sweaty horse has been bought, please ride it again." The normal state of the Warring States is to win by numbers, and Xiang Yan is a little worried that the Chu army will not be able to defeat the Qin army with heavy horses.

"Heavy riding doesn't take a year." Xiong Jing shook his head. It's not a pity that there are nearly 50,000 sets of armor, and he thinks that instead of using sweaty horses as heavy horses, it is better to wait for the Nissa horses to arrive next year. "In less than three years, there is no heavy ride."

"How long has it been?" Xiang Yan didn't know about cavalry, and he never thought that the training of heavy cavalry would take so long.

"Yes. Save Zhao this year, or save Zhao the year after tomorrow, and the dragon and horse can't go into battle. "Xiong Jing Dao." The only one who can go into battle is the dragon horse light horse. The most unknown thing now is that the Qin army can fight for several years in a row. ”

Xiong Jing previously agreed with the Qin army's three-year campaign that soldiers would inevitably be tired, but now the Qin army is not tired. If the Qin army can continue to attack all the time, and instead attack the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei, the support of the three kingdoms will not be able to support it after two years, and the Zhao State will save itself after breathing?

Again, it's a question of who to trust. At this point, it is difficult to trust countries from country to country.

"The minister thought that the Qin army should be tired for three years." Xiang Yan said. "Save Zhao this year, Qin is tired, Su is about to run out, and he can't defeat it."

"Save Zhao and know the victory or defeat of the Zhao army." Zhao Huang talked about this premise again. Feixun cut off, for the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State two thousand miles away, the battlefield was too far away.
