vs 71 A staggering number
Or throw it a little harder, it looks like it was smashed at Bai Hui.
Bai Qi hurriedly stepped forward: "The minister will lead the edict, and the minister will immediately order the general and start the war!" ”
Qin Wangxin said that Bai Qi and Bai Hui are two completely different people.
King Qin shook his head: "Bai Qi, the widow didn't blame Bai Hui, just ......" King Qin looked up at Fang Liang with his hands behind his back, and said in his heart that I, the King of Qin, have not figured out how much supplies Bai Hui's so-called preparation is sufficient. You must know that Bai Hui's current accumulation of materials is twice as much as the materials in Qin Chu's fierce battle last year.
King Qin wanted to laugh, but thought that it seemed inappropriate to laugh at this time.
King Qin wanted to curse, but Bai Hui didn't seem to have done anything wrong.
"Bai Qi, do you know how much ordnance, military rations, and military funds are?" King Qin thought about it and thought that it was better to ask Bai Qi.
At this time, Wei Ran, who came to Beiqu to inspect the military camp and the preparations for the autumn harvest, also arrived, and when he heard King Qin's question, he also stood aside and listened.
Bai Qi stepped forward and bowed down and replied: "The king forgives the sin, and when the armament is made, the minister's brother Bai Hui is in charge, and the minister does not know." ”
Wei Ran hadn't understood what was going on, as the commander-in-chief, he didn't know the armament, this was indeed his fault, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's ...... in vain."
Without waiting for Wei Ran to say anything for Bai Qi, King Qin opened his mouth and said, "It's okay, since you don't know, then go and take a look, it's in the study room in this courtyard." Bai Hui sat here and did not speak, and did not leave. Uncle and Bai Qi will go and see it, and then we will discuss it. ”
"No!"
Wei Ran and Bai Qi went to Bai Hui's study together.
In the main hall, King Qin looked at Bai Hui, and Bai Hui also looked at King Qin. King Qin wanted to ask Bai Hui, but he didn't know much about military affairs, and if he asked abruptly, it might seem that he was not good enough as a king, so King Qin endured it and didn't speak.
Bai Hui also wanted to ask King Qin, this was not ready, and it was appropriate to rush to war.
But seeing King Qin's cold face, Bai Hui didn't dare to speak, it was the king after all.
In the study, Bai Qi never asked about this matter because Bai Hui was in charge of military quarters and armaments, and at this time Bai Qi's heart was nervous, he was nervous about whether his younger brother had not handled military affairs well to make the king unhappy, and he was even more nervous about the lack of armaments and rushed to war.
Wei Ran was also a little nervous, this battle was really a battle related to the fortunes of the Great Qin State.
It is also a battle related to the future of Bai Qi and Bai Hui, and he is optimistic and values Bai Qi and Bai Hui.
Wei Ran first picked up a bamboo slip next to Bai Hui's case, on which were written 900T of salted fish and ...... dried meat. The two words of salted fish are still Qin seal style, and the last 900 is the Arabic numerals, T, which is T.
Wei Ran couldn't understand what this was at all, and brought it to Bai Qi: "What does Bai Qi mean by writing?" ”
It is normal for Wei Ran not to understand it, Arabic numerals were formed nearly a thousand years later, and the meaning of the letter T is still wild at this time.
Bai Qi glanced at it and said, "This is the meaning of nine hundred tons, and it is a symbol that Bai Hui uses for the convenience of calculation." The word ton roughly means twenty stones, because two stones are a car, and ten cars are a team, so these are one ton. It's also the amount of food for a song and a meal, which is probably what it means. ”
"Ahh Wei Ran was stunned, but he understood what it meant, this was a handwritten symbol of Bai Hui.
Suddenly, Wei Ran reacted and shouted: "This is 18,000 stone salted fish, he has saved so many salted fish." Not to mention Xianyang, all the official warehouses in Daqin do not add up to 10,000 stone salted fish. ”
Bai Qi also came back to his senses, snatched the bamboo slip in Wei Ran's hand and said: "Dried meat 1586T, millet 86552T......"
"This ......" Bai Qi and Wei Ran glanced at each other, and both pounced on the formal paperwork bamboo slips on Bai Hui's bookshelf.
Soon, Bai Hui's study seemed to have been carnivaled by a group of happy Erha, or was it swept by the wind?
In short, the bamboo slips in the study are scattered.
Wei Ran asked Bai Qi: "Bai Hui just told the king that the ordnance, military rations, military funds, and armaments are insufficient?" ”
Bai Qi nodded: "It seems to be." ”
Wei Ran asked again: "Bai Qi, then tell me, are your brothers preparing to fight in Hedong." Speaking of this, Wei Ran shook his head: "No, these grains and ordnance are enough for an army of 300,000 to fight a year of vicious warfare, enough to fight two battles in Hedong." Benhou treats your brother well, you tell me the truth. ”
Bai Qi was embarrassed and didn't know what his expression should be: "This, we are really only targeting half of Hedong, if there are more, it is only two more cities in the direction of Luoyi, just two cities." ”
Bai Qi bit the two cities very hard, and he was emphasizing that he was not hiding anything.
Bai Qi's words Wei Ran believed, Wei Ran understood Bai Qi, and also believed that Bai Qi was a person, it seems that Bai Hui started this matter.
Wei Ran and Bai Qi returned to the main hall.
After entering the hall, Wei Ran nodded slightly at King Qin, and King Qin also nodded in response, they confirmed with their eyes, and they understood each other's meaning.
King Qin asked: "Bai Qi and Bai Hui, you two tell the widow when is the best strategy?" ”
"Chinese New Year!" Only Bai Hui answered, but Bai Qi was silent.
According to the original plan, it was indeed a war for the New Year, but the current situation was completely different, Bai Hui had too many military funds and armaments in his hands, far exceeding the amount needed for this war. So Bai Qi really couldn't find a reason not to fight.
"If a widow asks for a war in ten days, and a war begins in forty days?"
Bai Hui gritted his teeth when he heard this, and Shi Dabai fell to the ground: "The minister had no choice but to ask the king to withdraw the order." ”
King Qin glanced at Wei Ran, a smile appeared on Wei Ran's face, and he quietly pointed at himself. King Qin understood, and immediately said, "What about my uncle's opinion? ”
Wei Ran stepped forward: "The minister asked Bai Hui what reason do you have for the king to withdraw the order, and what excuse do you have for not fighting." ”
"Your Majesty, Marquis. The minister is waiting for the autumn harvest, and the autumn harvest is a major event in several cities in Hedong. In addition, the subordinates of the minister and his brother have not yet completed the training, and the third part of the training has only begun now, and the fourth part of the cooperation training has not been carried out at all. The minister once again pleaded with the king to retract the edict, and the minister hoped that he could return alive with the Qin soldiers to enjoy the glory of victory. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Hui glanced up at King Qin, and saw that King Qin's face was as usual, as if he was not angry, and continued:
"Your Majesty, there are also ministers and a third of the soldiers are unarmoured and not well equipped. Moreover, the minister's stock of wound medicine is pitiful, and the minister's women's battalion has just begun training. And the minister's transport ......"
At this time, King Qin kicked over several cases in front of him, and he was not angry, not angry at all.
Because Bai Hui is right, there is nothing wrong with being fully prepared to go to war again.
