Because of Xiong Jing, logistics has been the primary issue in every military operation since the establishment of the Great Sima Mansion. Chengjie's plan was to launch an offensive in August, when Jiuying and Nanyang counties had just harvested millet, and they could be defeated by grain; The combat commander also advanced the launch time of the campaign to May - only in May the attack, when the west entered Wuguan Road, there was a large water in the Danshui River; If it is an attack in August, the Danshui will be exhausted in September and October, and the transportation volume of the boat will be insufficient, not to mention whether the boat can be opened to trade, since it can be passed, it will be necessary to build more boats.

The most worrying thing is that the weather is abnormal in the past few years, although Danshui is south of the Qinling Mountains, there is also the possibility of ice. Once the ice is frozen, the 1,200 miles of land transportation will take more than 40 days to go back and forth, and with a daily attrition of 2.7 percent of the four-wheeled carriages, it is very likely that not a single grain of grain will be transported to the front line, because all of it will be consumed on the way.

The offensive was launched in May of the following year, and counting the current month of aid, it was only seventeen months. The boat has to be built, the grain has to be transported, the road has to be built, and the war boat has to ......be transferred, and the counties and towns across the country are busy, but Xiong Jing is empty alone, and many times he can only stare at the map of Jiuying, Nanyang County, and Wuguan Road in a daze.

In all fairness, if the Chu army could break through Wuguan by advancing westward, the Qin army attacking Zhao would inevitably return to Xianyang and Nanyang County, and because of this, the courtiers overwhelmingly supported Chengjie. But can this really be the case? The Great Sima Mansion preserves the information of Wuguan Road eighty-one years ago, and eighty-one years have passed, Wuguan Dao is still the same Wuguan Road before?

Wuguan Road is not only Wuguan, Xianyang southward also has Yaoguan and Muhu Pass, parallel to the land Wuguan Danshui and Zhulin Pass, Jingzi Pass. Whether they can really attack Xianyang City all the way, no one can guarantee.

In the small bedroom, Xiong Jing, who had changed into a set of deep clothes, sat alone in the hall and looked at the map of Wuguan Road. A confessor coughed outside the hall, and when he came in, he said, "Tell the king, the envoys of the Zhao State... Honest public opinion asks to see. ”

"Nope!" Xiong Jing sighed, the last thing he wanted to see now was Lian Yu.

“…… The king, Zhao envoy said that the military situation was urgent, if it was ......" the confessor wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said it.

Lian Yu was really anxious, and Li Mu was already making preparations to attack Qin, but Chu Guo had not heard back. Thinking of this, Xiong Jing felt that he always had to give Li Mu a response, so he said, "Call him to bed." ”

The north wind was howling, the lead clouds were lower, and the weather seemed to be snowing. Lian Yu was taken to bed in a hurry, and waited for Xiong Jing to arrive for a while, but Xiong Jing's words shattered all his expectations: "I don't want you to tell Li Mu, the Great Sima Mansion has suspended the plan to attack Qin." ”

"King, this ......" Lian Yu's teeth trembled a little, and he returned to normal after a while of sourness, "The king doesn't want to help Zhao Hu?" ”

"Help!" Xiong Jing's answer gave Lian Yu some hope. "However, it is very unpredictable to attack Qin, so the Great Sima Mansion suspended the plan to attack Qin. Next year, if Qin attacks Zhao again, Chu will help Zhao resist Qin. ”

Although more than 100 courtiers knew about it, they all had to lead their troops to the battle, which was related to their own safety and life, and the success or failure of the westward expansion, and no one dared to reveal anything. It is a shipyard that works day and night, and it is also said to the outside world that it is to transport grain to Zhao, not to transport grain to Danshui.

"Then ......" Xiong Jing could see that Lian Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "However, the Three Kingdoms do not have much corn, if the Qin people attack Zhao next year, the Chu State will only be able to send troops the year after tomorrow." ”

If Qin State attacks Zhao next year, it should also be autumn. Lian Yu was not surprised that Xiong Jing said that the army could only be dispatched the year after tomorrow, and the Chu army marched with a large wing of war boats, and it was inevitable that it would have to wait until after the Yellow River was flooded. He only said: "The minister will tell Wu Ambo what the king said." The minister asked the king to lose Su to Zhao, if the Qin people cut me down again next year, the Zhao people would have nothing to eat. ”

Because of the construction of inland river boats, the construction of sea boats has been stopped this year. When the war began next year, even if the last Nisama ships returned, there would be only sixty-six cargo ships (in May of this year, two Glutton-class ships sailed to the Americas under the leadership of Hongmou). According to the plan, all these sea boats were used to transport grain, and the volume of Weiqi and Qi was only more than 10 million stones. There are now about eighteen cargo ships going to Seleucus, and even if they make their return in May next year, they will not be able to carry grain a few times, and it is likely that they will not carry more than 10 million stone of corn this year.

If the Qin State defeats Zhao next year, it will be an extremely difficult year for the Zhao State, which has not recovered from old injuries. After surviving next year, the situation will improve when the Chu army attacks Qin in the west in May. Xiong Jing couldn't help but say: "Transporting corn to Zhao for thousands of miles is very expensive, and Qi and Wei have long complained about this. Regardless of whether the Qin State will cut down the Zhao State again next year, the Zhao State will have to plant a variety of wheat and corn this year. ”

"The minister knows also." Lian Yu was ashamed when he heard this, "I also want to eat a variety of wheat this year, but the wheat seeds have already been eaten, and the people are ......."

Whether it is Zhibisi or Xiang Yan, they have all said that Zhao Guoxi is weak, and his support depends on Li Mu's two big victories. Because of the lack of transportation, the support of gold, silver, and grain from the three countries was not only a drop in the bucket, but also made many Zhao soldiers and soldiers resentful when they saw the injustice.

Xiong Jing's initial idea was very good: to directly support Lian Po's Southern Route Army and Li Mu's Daidi Army, but Chu Guohaizhou could only transport grain to Zhongyi Port, and Zhongyi Port to Handan and Fanwu all relied on Zhao Guozhou's transportation. The geese were plucked, and less than half of the grain that could really be transported to the Zhao army was less than half, and many people made a fortune because of it.

It is impossible to change this situation in a short period of time, unless the imported corn of the three countries and the grain produced by Zhao exceed the actual demand, so that the price of grain can be reduced. However, because of the westward advance of the Chu army, this point may be difficult to achieve, at least not when the Qin army attacked Zhao.

After Xiong Jing was summoned, Lian Yu braved the wind and snow to return to Zhao in a hurry, and before he entered the palace to sleep, a happy event had spread: the king of Chu wanted to marry Princess Yingnan as a young lady, and the people of Nacai would go to Handan after the sacrifice.

"The minister has seen the king." Lian Yu was a little strange about King Chu's marriage to Princess Yingnan, why didn't he say such an important thing in Ying.

"Lian Qing worked hard." Zhao Qian is becoming more and more like a king, he is probably still happy about the marriage of Chu and Zhao, and even asked: "Does Lian Qing know if there is a princess in Chu who has not yet arrived?" ”

"Ahem......" Zhao Liang frowned when he heard this, and immediately coughed a few times. Taifu Guo Kai said: "The king's words are very true, since it is a marriage between Zhao and Chu, the daughter of Chu should marry into my Zhao country." Does Lian Qing know if there is a princess in Chu who is the same age as the king? ”

"This ......" Lian Yu has been in the snow, and he came back in a hurry to tell Chu Guo about helping Zhao, and he has never inquired about the princess of Chu in Yingdu." Tell the king, but the minister doesn't know. ”

"My lord, I should ask my aunt for this matter." Guo Kai said on the side. Ying Nan's marriage to the king of Chu was originally the meaning of Concubine Zhao, and the daughter of Chu married Zhao Qian also had to ask Concubine Zhao. Zhao Chu's marriage is nothing else, just to show Qin Guo, Zhao Chu has become a family.

"What Taifu said is very true." Zhao Qiandao. At this time, Zhao Liang had to speak: "King, it is a big ......deal for Ziche to go to Chu."

"Oh." Zhao Qian was childishly stunned, and finally remembered the business of Lian Yu going to Chu, and motioned for him to tell him.

"King Yu, Xiangbang, Taifu," Lian Yu then spoke, "The King of Chu said: This year, the State of Chu still needs to go to Xizhou to transport horses, so there are only forty-six ships that can transport Su into our country next year......

A sea boat can transport corn four times a year, 30,000 stone at a time, and 46 ships are only 5.76 million stone, Zhao Qian and Guo Kai don't feel anything, but Zhao Liang shook his head again and again, so that the number of river boats transported by Qi Wei and Chu is less than 9 million stones.

“…… In June, 18 sea boats returned with horses, which could still be transported twice, and 10 million stones of Su Yue could be transported throughout the year. Lian Yu continued. The king of Chu also said: "It is very expensive to transport corn to Zhao for thousands of miles, and Qi and Wei have long complained about this. Regardless of whether the Qin State will cut down the Zhao State again in the next year, the Zhao State will have to grow a variety of wheat and corn extensively. ’”

"How did you answer?" Zhao Liang heard some complaints from this sentence, so he interjected.

"The minister said that he also wanted to grow a variety of wheat this year, but the wheat seeds had already been eaten, and the people were miserable." Lian Yu replied. "The minister also said: If the Qin people want to kill me again in the next year, please ask the king to send troops to rescue me. The king of Chu said: Chu does not have much corn, and if the Qin people attack Zhao tomorrow, they will send troops to rescue them in the next year. ”

"The year after?" Zhao Qian was puzzled, and Guo Kai glanced at Zhao Liang uneasily.

"Yes, yes." Lian Yu explained. "The Chu army marched in boats, and if they wanted to send troops to rescue each other, they had to wait for the river to thaw. The state of Chu accumulates millet to be remembered by the ministers, and there will be three years of food in the future. ”

"Good!" Zhao Qian and Guo Kai breathed a sigh of relief, and the most worried was that Chu, Qi, and Wei would not save Zhao.

"What else does the King of Chu say?" When Zhao Liang heard that the king of Chu had promised to send troops to rescue him in the coming years, the worries in his heart were gone.

"I didn't say anything." Lian Yu replied. "The minister just doesn't know about Princess Yingnan."

"Princess Yingnan married the King of Chu, and the Queen Mother of Chu has long had this intention." Zhao Qian was happy when he mentioned Princess Yingnan, but Guo Kai didn't let him speak. "Now the king of Chu is approaching the age of tying his hair, and he is a woman of Qi and Yue, and he is a daughter of Zhao. In the opinion of the ministers, the king of Chu does not like the daughter of Qi, and in time, the princess of Yingnan may be the queen of Chu......"

Guo Kai said to himself, no matter how good the situation of Zhao Guo is, it should be stronger than Qi State. The national strength determines the status of the princesses of various countries in the Chu Palace, in the past, Qin and Chu were married, and Zhao Nu could only be a young lady, but now Qin and Chu are at odds, and it is Zhao Nu's turn to be the queen.

"The king of Chu said that it is very unpredictable to attack Qin, so the Great Sima Mansion suspended the plan to attack Qin." In the first month of the most intense snow, Lianyu, who had just presented King Zhao in Handan, quickly went north to Fanwu, because of the joy of marriage, he still had a little smile on his face.

"Aborted?!" Li Mu and the fox baby couldn't believe it when they heard this. "How can this matter be ...... after so long in the planning"

Qin State is about to attack Zhao, Li Mu personally entered Yunzhong County several times to raise a plan to attack Qin, but he didn't expect that the Sima Mansion of Chu State actually stopped the plan.

"There has been a change in the state of Chu." There was a burst of horror, and the Chu paper fan in the fox baby's hand quickly fanned up. "Before the marriage, the king had planned to mourn King Xiang, but the king of Chu had not allowed it, and now he suddenly agreed, and there will be changes."
