Once Wei Li led his army north, the number of Qin troops would skyrocket to a terrifying 310,000. When the time comes, it is equivalent to the whole army of the Qin State gathered in Longxian.

Cao Cao, the Duke of Wei, knew in his heart that once the situation reached this point, this war would evolve into a provocation of Qin by the Wei and Zhao coalition forces.

Thinking of the 300,000 elite iron cavalry of the Qin State, plus the Duke of Qin Yingfei, as well as the Tai Lieutenant Xu Shu, the military advisor Guo Jia and the generals of the Qin State, Cao Cao, the Duke of Wei, understood that the Wei and Zhao coalition forces had only one way to retreat.

……

"In this way, does King Zhao plan to give up the blockade and give up the achievements of the past few days, so as to reconcile with the Qin State?"

I know it in my heart, but Cao Cao still has a trace of unwillingness in my heart, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is fleeting.

Cao Cao is a hero, he is far smarter than the average person of this era, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he knew his decision from Lu Bu's words.

It's just that Cao Cao has a unique vision, and he naturally knows that the Qin State is the weakest time at this moment, once he misses this opportunity, wait until the Qin State recuperates.

Even if the six Kwantung countries raised troops to attack Qin again, I am afraid that they would not be able to achieve such a record, and once they withdraw their troops today, Qin will definitely retaliate in the future.

……

In Cao Cao's view, this is the best time to completely force the Qin State to death, but now, whether it is Han Gong Yuan Shao or Chu Gong Yuan Shu, they have all failed, and only the Liangzhou battlefield is difficult to support alone.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao not only had a feeling in his heart that God did not bless people, compared with Qin Gong Yingfei, their six countries in the Kanto region were like heavenly outcasts.

……

"Duke Wei, the matter has come to this, Lone has to give up, whether it is for the sake of the counties of Jingzhou or the civil and military affairs of Zhao State, this time Lone, as the king of the Warring States, must come back to help."

Lu Bu's words were full of resoluteness, which made Cao Cao's heart flush with a trace of decadence, because he knew in his heart that Lu Bu had already made a choice, and even if he was unwilling, he could only withdraw his troops.

With the Wei army alone, he did not have the confidence to fight to the death with Qin Gong Yingfei.

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu, the king of Zhao opposite, smiled, and said, "In this case, you and I will say goodbye to Fengxian, but the marriage of children should be put on the agenda."

Hearing this, Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Well, when this king sweeps Jingzhou, he should be drunk with Meng De."

……

When the situation changed and Qin began to gain an advantage, the people of the Hezong Alliance were panicked, not only did Wu send envoys west to Qin, but also Cao Cao, the Duke of Wei, and Lü Bu, the king of Zhao, withdrew their troops one after another.

The six countries of Kanto continued to make small moves, which naturally fell in the eyes of the people and families of the world, and the wind direction changed for a while, and the atmosphere in the Qin State changed from tense to flat.

The people of the world, not only the people of Qin, have seen from the actions of the six countries of the Kwantung region that the crisis of the Qin state has passed, and the war of the six countries against Qin, which lasted for three years, will come to an end.

This means that the Central Plains, where the war is raging and the wolf smoke is thousands of miles, will usher in a short period of peace, and then recuperate, recuperate, and prepare for the next big war.

……

Fushi.

When the news of Cao Cao and Lü Bu's withdrawal reached Fushi, the hearts of the people of Qin were shocked, because they knew in their hearts that the dark sky would eventually clear.

……

In the Hall of Great Cause, Qin Gong Yingfei was not there, and the entire Qin State was respected by Jiang Wan, the prime minister of the left, and he led the meeting of civil and military officials.

"Prime Minister, the autumn harvest has been completed, except for Hanzhou, the rest of the three states of Liang and Yi can be balanced, except for the people's spring plowing and grain reserves, the rest is not enough to support a big war."

……

A trace of worry flashed in Shi Mizhu's eyes, and he reported the recent statistics of grain and grass in the entire Qin State to Prime Minister Jiang Wan one by one.

This is the most precise statistics on the situation in Qin, and it takes a long time. This is the result of the entire internal history department of the Su Dynasty, and it is of great significance to the whole Qin State.

Looking at the data recorded on the Qin paper, Jiang Wan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he could understand that the records on the entire thirty-two pages represented that the Qin State needed to recuperate.

At this time, a war of any scale would become the last straw that overwhelmed the Qin State.

……

With a gleam in his eyes, Jiang Wan put down the file in his hand, looked at Mi Zhu, and said, "You mean that we should recuperate at this moment, and should not send troops?"

……

Facing Jiang Wan's sharp gaze, Mi Zhu nodded and said, "Prime Minister, according to the situation reported by the officials below, this war has exhausted the accumulation of several years of Qin State."

"Even once levied grain from the people, if it weren't for the supreme prestige of the king, I'm afraid that the Qin State would have fallen apart long ago, and there were many internal contradictions."

……

As a minister in the same hall, Jiang Wan still knows a little about Shi Mizhu in Zhisu, because he remembers that Qin Gong Yingfei said that this person is a natural businessman.

Regarding the analysis on this dossier, Jiang Wan did not have the slightest doubt in his heart, because he understood that there was a specialization in the art industry, and Mi Zhu's statistics would not be wrong nine times out of ten.

The thought flickered in his heart, Jiang Wan looked at Mi Zhu and the civil and military officials below, and said in a deep voice: "Block this news, no one is allowed to spread it lightly, if the news is leaked, there will be no forgiveness."

"No."

Bowing slightly, Jiang Wan felt a little satisfied with the attitude of the civil and military officials.

……

It's just that Jiang Wan knew in his heart that this war would not end easily from the beginning, especially when the six Kwantung countries did not suffer much losses except for the Qin State.

At this time, if the news of the shortage of grain and grass spreads, it will inevitably lead to another change in the world that has gradually calmed down.

Therefore, Jiang Wan immediately ordered the news to be blocked, he wanted to give the world an illusion, that is, the Qin State was strong and could support the Qin army's unscrupulous conquest.

"Prime Minister, now that the monarch is leading a large army to pursue the remnants of the Chu army, and the Wei and Zhao coalition forces are retreating, this six-nation joint expedition to Qin should come to an end."

Tingwei Li Fa flashed a gleam in his eyes, looked at Prime Minister Jiang Wan, and said: "Today's Qin State is in ruins, as long as the people have a bumper harvest, sweeping the world is just around the corner."

……

"Hmm."

Regarding Li Fa's statement, Jiang Wan nodded in agreement, this point of view is not only Li Fa's opinion alone, it can be said that the entire Qin State holds the same opinion.

"The king is like a god with soldiers, presumably he has his own prediction of the current situation, and we will protect the Qin State well."

"No."

……

Looking at the retreat of the civil and military officials, Jiang Wan's eyes flashed with a trace of worry, the civil and military officials of the Qin State looked at the situation too shallowly, and the Qin State at this moment was strong outside and strong in the middle.

Even if Qin Gong Yingfei wanted to stop, it was impossible, without the deterrence of a strong army, I am afraid that the six countries of Kwantung would make a comeback in a short time.

"Your ......"

Jiang Wan looked at the empty hall of the Great Cause, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this war that lasted for three years was about to overwhelm the Qin State.
