Ge De is the head of the Chunping Marquis, he does not have the eloquence of Sima Kong, he speaks with a straight eye, but he tells everything he asks, and he does not omit anything. The more detailed he explained the situation in Zhao Guo, the more worried Xiong Jing became.

The Zhao army, which had 500,000 people fighting in the east and west, now has a maximum of 400,000 left, except for the general Li Mu, who has a mobile force of 100,000 to 150,000 people, and all the other Zhao army can do is to refuse to defend the city. Just as Linzi, which has 300,000 people, can pull out more than 200,000 people for a decisive battle, the Zhao people who defend the city are men, women, and children, and the number of people participating in the front-line battle exceeds one million.

However, such a fierce battle will not only kill soldiers, but also kill on a large scale: once the city is broken, the entire Qin army for profit will be slaughtered, and there is no distinction between men, women, old and young. Is this indiscriminate killing? In fact, there was no indiscriminate killing, because the Zhao people went into battle regardless of men, women, and children. Since he participated in the battle, it is Zhao Zu, and he can be credited with cutting off his head, which even the history of Qin military law cannot deny. If they deny it, then what are the people who fought bloody battles against their own army at the head of the city? Could it be that the Qin army was fighting with ghosts?

Every time the Qin army pulls out a city, it slaughters a city. In this way, if the slaughter of one city after another, the population of Zhao State will be reduced by 11,000. So that in the end, no matter whether the city resisted with all its strength or not, as long as the city was broken, the Qin army would slaughter the city. The Zhao people no longer have the heart to compromise by chance, as long as the Qin army attacks the city, even if they fight to the last person, they will die in battle without being killed.

Ge De's words were dry, and he did not deliberately describe the bloodiness of the war, but his rough words could still make Xiong Jing feel the cruelty after the city was broken. He seemed to be able to hear the desperate cries of the Zhao people when the city was broken, and he could see them fall one by one. At this time, the Qin army poured into the city like a tidal wave, and the blood soaked the wide-mouthed square shoes they were accustomed to. Their faces were expressionless, and whenever they saw the corpses, they would cut them down, regardless of gender. The tied hair and the stripped hair were all torn apart, and the large and small heads were tied together and tied heavily, and there was a slight smile on their faces at this time......

"Stop!"

Ge De's words echoed in the Ming Hall, and Qu Guang, Jin Yi, and Shi Guan opened their mouths when they heard it, as if they had forgotten to breathe. Xiong Jing's eyes suddenly moistened for some reason, and even if Ge De didn't say anything about the battlefield, he didn't want to listen to it anymore.

"Great King......" Ge De didn't see the wetness in Xiong Jing's eyes, and he was honestly frightened, and he didn't know why the king of Chu shouted.

"You say, Zhao Guo's corn is insufficient, and it can last for a year at most?" Xiong Jing didn't say anything else, only asked corn. For the Kwantung countries, food was the greatest restriction on the conduct of war. And the final demise of the Zhao State was not entirely due to the execution of Li Mu by Zhao Ting, but more due to the famine.

"Your Majesty, yes." Ge Dedao. "The Zhao people are not afraid of the Qin people, and the Zhao people are only afraid of having no food to eat."

"Why didn't Zhao State cut down Dong County three years ago?!" Xiong Jing knew the pain of lack of food, and he couldn't help but think of the past three years ago. If the Zhao army attacked the eastern county of Qin at that time, the Qi state sent troops to follow up, and the Wei state sent troops to follow up, then the world would be different.

"This contemptible country is also wrong!" Gede did not hide it with sophistry, and admitted his mistakes. "Three years ago, the widow fell, and the land of Yan was first obtained, and Xiangbang was afraid that after Qin, Qin would attack Zhao in a big way, so he did not dare to attack Qinzhidong County."

"Don't dare?" Xiong Jing laughed helplessly. "Do you know how many Zhao and Chu people did not dare to die in that battle when Xiangbang didn't dare to kill them? Do you know that the general trend of the world is because of Xiangbang, and there is no chance of recovery at that time? Did you know ......?"

Xiong Jing lost his voice, and his biggest resentment against Zhao was that he did not send troops to attack the eastern county of Qin three years ago. After the capture of Linzi, the attitude of the Qi State at that time was very clear, the grain and grass were already being collected, so they were waiting for the Zhao State to send troops, and then crossed the Hubyi and marched westward. If Zhao sent troops, Qin lost Dongjun, and the four kingdoms of Zhao, Qi, Wei, and Chu carved up Dongjun, it would be impossible for the Qin army on the southern route to attack Zhao at the current path.

"The mistake of despising the country, the mistake of despising the country is also ......" Ge De paused again and again, afraid that Xiong Jing would be angry and drive him out.

"Don't worry, the king." Qu Guang knew that Xiong Jing was excited, so he persuaded him. "The minister thinks that the general trend of the world is not a war, one thing, and one person can change. The so-called heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for destruction, how can manpower win the sky? And today's fate is undecided, and there is still a chance for the nations. The one who is really terrible is that the Zhao State was destroyed by Qin, so the Mandate of Heaven may be determined. ”

"The king, the minister thinks that the affairs of the world should be based on saving Zhao, and it may be ...... to destroy Wei" Jin Yiye said. Because of the limitations of power and responsibility, he has never heard anyone mention it. At this time, he thought that it should not be, and the most important thing at this time was to save Zhao.

"The king......" Xiong Jing didn't seem to hear the words of the courtiers, but was stunned. It wasn't until Chang Jiang whispered in his ear that he came back to his senses.

"How is Li Mu?" Xiong Jing sighed and asked Li Mu.

"King Yu, the Qin army broke through Jingcheng at the beginning of the year, and has pulled out the cities of Manling, Shiyi, etc., and is now besieging Yi'an and Feiyi." Ge Dedao. "The general guards Lingshou, Quanyi, Jiumen and other places north of Hutuoshui, and he doesn't dare to take his edge."

"Oh?" Xiong Jing laughed. Li Mu has seen it, it looks harmless to humans and animals, but it is actually like a huge sword hidden in a scabbard. If you don't get out of the sheath, you will die. In the last days of Zhao State, Zhao State had a great victory over the Qin army, perhaps this time.

"Although the general once broke the Hu people, he was not good at field warfare." Ge De was discouraged when he talked about Li Mu. Li Mu is not as good as Lian Po, Lian Po has a number of military exploits, old age, and the ministers of the DPRK and China can be trusted, Li Mu is just a Hu person.

The first Qin was not the queen of Qin, and the queen of Qin was either a relative or a tribute, and in the end it became a custom and developed into a year coin. In the eyes of the pre-Qin states, whether it is the Hu people or the Xiongnu, what kind of thing is it?! Which country in the pre-Qin kingdom was really afraid of the Hu people? Even the small Yan Kingdom can defeat the Hu people, but it is more than a thousand miles. Li Mu's big destruction of the Hu people is not considered a war achievement, and the doctors in the DPRK and China have many doubts about him.

After Hu Yu's death, Zhao Liang, the Marquis of Chunping, took Li Mu as the general of Zhao State, and although Ge De was the head of the family, he still had little confidence in Li Mu. Xiong Jing is not broken, and even the Zhao people are not optimistic about Li Mu, let alone the Qin people.

"Oh." Xiong Jing suppressed his smile and made a disappointed look: "It seems that the big armor is given away for nothing." ”

"Therefore, Xiangbang dares to ask the king, can Xinping Jun return to Zhao?" Ge De's question was unexpected, Zhao Guo actually wanted to recall Lian Po?

Xiong Jing forced down the word 'can'. It's not that he cherishes his talents, but that the incident of cutting Wei makes him dare not speak again. Lian Po is sitting in the northern city of Daliang, Wei and Chu are very relieved, if he returns to Zhao, who should be stationed in Daliang?

"This is a very big matter, and it needs to be discussed before it is decided." After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he explained: "The affairs of the Chu State are determined by the Zheng Dynasty rather than by the Bad Dynasty. Let me ask, what post does Xin Pingjun have after returning to Zhao? ”

"Xiang Bangyan said that if Xinping Jun returns to Zhao, he should be the prime minister, worship the general, and garrison the Southern Great Wall and Handan." Ge Dedao.

"Write it down, it's all reported to Yingdu." Xiong Jing quickly commanded left and right. Thinking of Lian Po and Li Mu leading the army to fight the Qin State, he couldn't help but be excited, if Xiang Yan could be added, the three famous generals would fight the Qin army together, and the picture would not be too beautiful.

It's always Ge De who is talking, and Xiong Jing and others are listening. Just talked for a long time, Xiong Jing didn't express his attitude, and Ge De, who had finished talking about everything, looked at Xiong Jing with a blank eye, wondering his final attitude.

"Zhao Guo can't bribe Qin." Xiong Jing understood his intentions, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he said, 'You can't bribe Qin'.

"Zhao Guo will never bribe Qin!" Gott spoke up. "The widow can swear."

"Good." Whether it is out of the private interests of various countries or the public interests of various countries, Zhao Guo cannot bribe Qin. Xiong Jing nodded before he said, "It's difficult to save Zhao." The state of Chu and the Qin people fought for three years, the corn was exhausted, and the country had little corn, and it was difficult to save Zhao. And the matter of saving Zhao should be discussed by the Zheng Dynasty, and no one can decide it. ”

Xiong Jing spoke, Ge De's eyes did not blink, and he did not dare to let go of every expression and word. Xiong Jing is the king of Chu, and now he has occupied Linzi, even if he can't force Chu and Qi to save Zhao, he can still prompt Chu and Qi to save Zhao to a large extent. A few days ago, he threatened to attack Wei, and the king of Wei was already frightened, as long as the pressure was a little greater, Wei would definitely save Zhao.

It's just that, just like when Zhao attacked Dongjun and was worried about the Qin State backlash, Chu State was also worried that saving Zhao would be attacked by the Qin State.

"The king's intention, as long as there is enough corn, Zhao can be saved?" Gede asked rhetorically.

"The accumulation of millet is also about the sea boat." Xiong Jing told the truth, this matter will be known to the world anyway. "The sea boat of the Chu State has passed through India in the south of Central Continent. India has a lot of rice, and its price is not high, and now there are four million stone rice accumulated in India that cannot be shipped back to ......"

When Xiong Jing talked about Indian rice, Ge De finally blinked, he thought that Xiong Jing was shirking, but his expression and tone were not like it. "The king's intention is to transport grain to Yingdu in India, thousands of miles away?"

"Yes, yes." Xiong Jing Road. "The cost of transporting 10,000 miles by sea is not as good as transporting 100 miles by land. However, the grain was not transported to Yingdu, but to Zhao. The grain of Chu was exported to Zhao, and it was also transported by sea rather than by land. A car on land is no more than 100 stones, and a sea boat has 30,000 stones. ”

"Ran, Ran...... "Although there are more than 30,000 stones in a boat, compared to the consumption of Zhao State, this is a drop in the bucket, and this grain is transported from thousands of miles away, Ge De is so anxious that he has already stammered.

"To save Zhao, one is to send troops, and the other is to send food." Xiong Jing interrupted him. "Sending troops is another discussion, the grain can lose Zhao now, can there be a boat? The Chu army's war boat is no more than a thousand stones, and the whole country can't transport a million stones a year, how to save Zhao? ”

"The king's intention is to build a boat in despisy for the country?" Ged seemed to get it.

"Definitely." He still didn't understand what Xiong Jing meant. "How can Zhao Guo build a sea boat? It is not a bad idea that Zhao sent people to the mountains to cut wood, cut down the big chapter and transport it to Chu to build a sea boat. A sea boat can hold 30,000 stones, 10 ships are 300,000 stones, and 100 ships are 3 million stones. Several times a year, more than 1,000,000 stones can be transported. It's just that the grain is transported to the Zhao country, and the grain and straw of each country are limited, so after all, the grain must be transported from other countries......"
