Because Jiang Zhu's villagers are here, the battlefield killing is too thrilling for the elderly and women and children, Jiang Zhu also sent a part of the cavalry to escort his villagers to the Qin camp, and then commanded nearly a thousand Qin soldiers with Jiang Ya, and slaughtered this group of Chu soldiers, who had completely lost their morale!

The thousand-person general Fu Chi from the small clan of Chu Dong was also directly stabbed to death by Jiang Zhu Yige, and almost none of the remaining Chu soldiers survived from the soldiers of the Qin army.

Jiang Zhu glanced at it, he didn't have the slightest pity for these people, if he didn't have any extraneous branches, his fate would be the opposite of this Chu pawn.

"This battle is also to let the Chu people know that if they invade Great Qin in the future, they will also have to pay the price of blood!" Jiang Ya's gaze swept over the corpses of those Chu pawns one by one, fell in a pool of blood, and finally said.

This battle was instructed by the general Wu Kang, how could Jiang Zhu and Jiang Ya not know the general's intentions, this is because in the future, it is the sweat army that will guard the southern border of Great Qin and defend the Chu State.

Jiang Zhu lit a fire, the grass and trees in late July were gradually barren, a fire was burned, and soon it was connected into a piece, burning the corpses of these Chu pawns, Jiang Zhu also led the remaining Qin army back to the Qin camp south of the river after the fire was ignited.

Jiang Zhu returned to Daqin's place more than ten miles west of the west city of Yingdu, only to see that the surrounding area was crowded with Wuyang figures, all of whom were villagers and family members brought back from their respective hometowns by Jingdi soldiers from Jing people, the number of people was beyond Jiang Zhu's imagination, and at a glance, the mountains were full of people.

With such a large number of people, it is no longer possible to rely on the ships of the Han Navy alone, so His Royal Highness the scheming Prince Qin also granted Wu Kang the plan of "iron lock and ship"!

That is, the warships of Daqin were lined up from the top of the river, connected end to end, and connected with iron chains to stabilize the hull, so as to form a bridge similar to a pontoon bridge on the river, for the relatives of these Han soldiers to cross the river to the north of the river.

However, the bridge formed by the Great Qin warship was only a few zhang wide, which was a drop in the bucket for the Qin clan villagers who were already camped all over the mountains and wilderness at this time.

However, because of the fact that Cai and Chen raised troops to attack Shouying, the capital of Chu, the king of Chu, who was worried about a fire in the backyard, also wisely chose to give up the former fat of Yingdu and led his troops back to Shouying.

This caused the Changsha Shouyuanzhang troops of the king of Chu to enter the seal were very scarce, so that the places directly controlled by Yuanzhang were only a few cities that the Chu army fought all the way, and even Yingdu was still occupied by the Qin people.

Yuanzhang's reaction to this incident also let Lin Yuyan know that this Chu State Changsha Shounai is a handsome man who knows the times, so it is basically certain that at present, even in the next ten years when Daqin has siphoned out Jingdi's blood, no matter how Yuanzhang operates in Jingdi, it will be difficult to shake Daqin's strength.

The only thing that can be counted on is Chu Dong, but don't forget, the losses of the two major battles of the Battle of Hengyang and the Battle of Yingdu also made the Chu State, which originally surpassed the Henan princes, plummet, and even the Chen State and Cai State, which were vassal states in the past, raised troops to rebel, and there was also a fierce Wu State plotting how to weaken or even destroy the Chu State.

"Chu State...... This generation of hegemons who dominated the Central Plains in the past may be in a state of collapse or even ...... Demise! ”

Lin Yuyan sighed, but Lin Yuyan didn't care about this at all, after all, since the Chu State moved to Chu Dong, the southern border of the Qin State was only limited to the threat of the Jing State, and now this threat is gone.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's Daqin is enough to have the confidence to go north to compete with South Korea, after all, today's South Korea only occupies four counties and has a population of four million.

On the other hand, today's Qin State, the vast land south of the Qinling Mountains and north of the Great River is under the rule of Great Qin, and the population of Jingdi has been digested, and the population of Great Qin can skyrocket to nearly four million people in a few years, and the most important thing is that the Longdi Rong and Jing people who hindered Great Qin from dealing with Korea in the past have been conquered by Daqin's soldiers.

However, such a skyrocketing population also made Fan Xuan, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, feel very afraid, this right minister of Great Qin is from Linzi, a large capital with a population of hundreds of thousands, but this right minister stands on the river every day, and frowns when he sees the Jing people on the other side of the river who are constantly flocking to the territory of Qin.

I really couldn't hold back, Fan Xuancai admonished Lin Yuyan and said: "Your Highness, in order to support this southern expedition, the treasury of Great Qin is already empty, and there is really not much food to feed the nearly one million Jing people who have suddenly skyrocketed, and please ask Your Highness to cut off the bridge of the Great River and block the Jing people from crossing the river!" ”

Lin Yuyan asked, "Is there not enough food?" Since the Southern Expedition, there has been no news of the emergency of military rations in Wancheng? ”

Fan Xuan said truthfully: "His Royal Highness is well versed in military affairs, but he doesn't know that military affairs are supported by national strength, the monarch and Han Xiang did not explicitly say that Qin's food is urgent, but so that the soldiers of the Southern Expedition can rest assured, but when Xuan left Wancheng to go to Zhexian, Han Xiang has already said that Nanyang has no grain to collect, and Xuan went to Zhecheng to share the right to transfer grain from His Royal Highness and stabilize the army's heart!" ”

Speaking of this, Fan Xuan took a few steps forward and said: "A few days ago, I saw His Highness recruiting Jing people to make it clear, but I still held back, now standing on the north bank of the Great River to look at the south bank, millions of Jing people want to recruit the territory of Qin, it is not something that the current national strength of Great Qin can support!" ”

Lin Yuyan looked at Fan Xuan, and finally asked: "Nanyang already has no grain to collect, so there is not much grain in Jiangxia and Nanjun?" ”

"Originally, the Qin State only mobilized 100,000 soldiers, at most 200,000 conscripts were requisitioned, but now His Royal Highness has won all the way and surrendered a lot of people and soldiers, before the battle of Yingdu, the number of people implicated in the southern expedition has reached twice the original plan, so that the military rations prepared for two years are only enough to spend a year, if you recruit these Jing people on the south bank of the river, it is really a waste of national strength!"

Lin Yuyan looked at Fan Xuan, who looked excited, if it weren't for the fact that the situation of Great Qin's Southern Expedition was already clear now, this Great Qin Right Minister would not have said this news that affected the morale of the army anyway.

But Lin Yuyan knew in his heart that if he let these Jing people abandon them, it would definitely be a matter of all kinds of harm and no benefit, but if these Jing people were connected to the territory of Daqin, Baili had not yet seen it, but the disadvantages of "food urgency and loss of national strength" were enough to discourage people!

"How many days will the food last?"

After thinking about it, Lin Yuyan still asked.

Fan Xuan, who knew Lin Yuyan's thoughts, also replied directly: "In one month, the grain transported from the south can only support the army and the people in the southern border of Great Qin for a month!" ”

Lin Yuyan didn't know Fan Xuan's thoughts, but he still said: "It's already the end of July, and in August, there is a new grain harvest, won't it be able to support a year at that time?" ”

Fan Xuan looked at His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, even though Fan Xuan was from a civilian background, he really didn't understand why this Prince Qin took the people so seriously, especially in the current situation, discarding Jing Min was undoubtedly the most correct choice.

"Your Highness!" Fan Xuan still didn't understand why this highness was so stubborn, but he still told the truth as a courtier: "Your Highness, the southern expedition has already taken several years of accumulation in Great Qin, and even the conscription and subordinate people have already overdrawn the grain harvest of the future Qin people, and it seems that there is nothing to do at the moment, but in fact, as long as there is a drought and a flood, it is enough to plunge Great Qin to the point of no return!" ”

"Jing people don't know etiquette, and they take it into the territory of Qin, and when there is a famine in the future, it is very easy to form bandits, and at that time, natural disasters **, Qin State is in danger!"

As a Qi person, Fan Xuan was able to tell him so clearly, but he put himself in the position of "Qin Chen", Lin Yuyan stood up, walked in front of Fan Xuan, and saluted Fan Xuan respectfully, and said: "The right minister is the minister of the pillar stone of the Qin State, and he told me the advice against the ear, and he can't do it if he is not a virtuous minister!" ”

Fan Xuan was also extremely moved when he saw Lin Yuyan put on such a posture, and immediately held Lin Yuyan's arm and said, "It would be great if His Highness knew about it......"

Lin Yuyan helped Fan Xuan and said: "The right minister is a contrary advice, and I also know it in my heart, but I still can't agree with what the right minister said!" ”

"Why?" Even Fan Xuan couldn't figure out His Royal Highness Prince Qin.

Lin Yuyan said: "My old Qin people started in Hangu Guanxi, the land is barren, Rong Di is troubled, the war dead and starvation do not know how many, the old Qin people abandoned by God, the old Qin people who are hated by Rong Di, only the old Qin people do not give up the old Qin people, so they can help each other and tide over the difficulties together!" ”

"Now there are many soldiers of the Southern Expedition from Jingdi, although they are not from the old Qin, they are also inspired by the blood and courage of the old Qin people, and the soldiers who were born and died for the Great Qin are still unable to take care of the safety of their relatives and villagers, what kind of face does this Great Qin have to let the soldiers fight outside, and such virtuous talents as the right minister are loyal to the court?"

"This ......" stands on the commanding heights of morality, and even Fan Xuan has no way to refute it.

"Moreover, it is also the most realistic, there are millions of Jing people, and if Qin does not hire them, they will be the enemies of Qin, but Qin has these million people, as long as they survive these years, the food produced by millions of people in three years is enough to support a major war on the scale of Great Qin's southern expedition, and twenty years later, these Jing people's sons and nephews will also become the most courageous warriors of Great Qin, defending the land of Great Qin, defending the people of Great Qin, right minister, so much for the Qin people of Qin, I can't bear to abandon it!"

In the end, Lin Yuyan finally said: "Right Prime Minister, here I can guarantee that before the last resort, within a few years, the Qin State will only cut down diplomatic relations, not war, and recuperate, and will not starve to death a single Qin people, and please cooperate with Ming Gong and Feng Cheng sincerely to settle these million Jing people in the southern border of Great Qin, after I return to Wancheng, I will do everything possible to raise grain and grass and send it to the south!" ”

Seeing the resolute face of His Royal Highness Qin Gongzi Yan, although there was still some reluctance in his heart, Fan Xuan still arched his hand towards Lin Yuyan with great feeling: "Gongzi has such a trust, how can the minister refuse, but Xuan is in Zhecheng for a day, even if he dies of labor, he has no regrets about it!" ”

Fan Xuan's expression was sincere, and the tenacity of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers in the mountains" also touched Lin Yuyan, everything was in plain sight, Lin Yuyan saluted Fan Xuan respectfully again.

Seeing this, Fan Xuan also bowed to this Qin Gongzi, at this moment, his heart was also complicated, but he did not have the slightest remorse......
