This account is not unknown, but it is shocking, not only King Qin Zhao was surprised, but even Bai Qi and Sima Terrier were also quite surprised.

Since the beginning of the Changping War, the Qin State has fought a series of victories, and these victories are all big victories, and the price paid is not very high, but if you kill a thousand enemies and kill eight hundred, even if the Qin army is good at fighting, you have to pay a certain price. When it adds up, it's not a small amount.

Of course, this price is nothing compared to the great victory achieved by the Qin army.

The problem is that although the battle of Changping against Qin was a victory, it was a tragic victory, with nearly half of the 580,000 army casualties, that is to say, nearly 300,000 casualties. This has never been so costly in the history of the Qin State.

The battle of Changping made the Qin State a little unbearable, and then there was a series of major wars later, which made the Qin State even more unbearable.

"The prime minister is very careful and will not be bad." Sima Terrier is a national lieutenant, and he is in charge of these things, and it is clear that Fan Sui did not talk nonsense.

"It's not that I don't know, it's a scare to me." Bai Qi stroked his forehead, a little surprised.

Fan Sui then continued: "In just six years, Great Qin has lost 400,000 combatable soldiers, and it is too difficult to make up for this number. Although it has been training recruits for many years, it cannot be replenished. Up to now, although Great Qin has nearly 500,000 troops, in addition to garrisons in various places, only 300,000 can be mobilized. Dare to ask your majesty, with a mere 300,000 people, can sweep away the nations and fall in one day? ”

The Battle of Changping lasted three years, and then there was a one-year break period, and Qin Yiren fought for nearly two years. That's about six years. In just six years. Nearly 400,000 soldiers were lost. This was a huge price to pay for the Qin State.

You must know that the total population of Qin at that time was only five million, that is, Qin lost one-twelfth of its population. This was a huge loss for the sparsely populated Warring States period.

Even so, with the strength of the Qin State, it could make up nearly 500,000 troops. The question is. The Qin State still has to be stationed everywhere, and because of the success of the Qin Yiren's conquest, the territory of the Qin State has expanded, and there are more places to be stationed, and there are fewer troops that can be mobilized.

King Qin Zhao twisted his lips tightly, and his face was very ugly.

He knew that Fan Sui was right, and he would definitely not be arrogant to think that with only 300,000 troops, he could wipe out the countries and dominate the world.

"What's the big deal about that? Conscription is it. Ying Xuan saw that the faces of the group were solemn, and no one spoke. It's time to steal the limelight again.

"Shut up!" King Qin Zhao and Prince Yingzhu shouted in unison.

King Qin Zhao glanced at the crown prince Yingzhu with appreciation, he was not an incompetent person with this sick man's son. He saw the problem. It's a pity that he spends a lot of time fighting the disease and can't use it to govern the country. Fortunately, there is also Qin Yiren, a capable grandson.

"You only know about conscription, but you don't know that it will hurt the country." Seeing that King Qin Zhao admired him very much, Prince Yingzhu became a little bolder, and said: "In the world of the Warring States Period, the most taboo is to hurt the country, once the country of Great Qin is injured, how can Great Qin sweep away the countries in one day?" ”

"Hmm." A shout of appreciation.

Qin Yiren glanced at Yingzhu, and secretly said in his heart that he still has brains for this cheap father, and there is no lack of shrewdness, which is much better than Yingxuan, who has a simple mind and developed limbs. It's a pity that his body is too weak to think about military and political affairs, but to spend his time fighting the disease.

"At the beginning of the Warring States Period, the most powerful was the Wei State, the King of Wei Hui was silent, made enemies on all sides, and fought on a large scale, which finally injured the country, and the Wei State has since declined and collapsed. At the time of King Qi Wei, the country of Qi was strong, and the world looked sideways, and in the end, because of the injury to the country, it also declined, and even the small Yan country almost destroyed the country of Qi. The state of Chu was originally the largest country, and the king of Chu Zhuang was even more majestic in the world, and later hurt the country, and since then it has not been valued by the world. King Qin Zhao's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing that hurts the country, Great Qin must not do it, remember to remember!" ”

Speaking of which, his eyes fell on Qin Yiren, which was to warn Qin Yiren.

"Don't worry, Father, I understand." Even if King Qin Zhao didn't warn, Qin Yiren wouldn't do such a stupid thing of fishing with all his might, killing chickens and taking eggs.

"The army is insufficient, and it is difficult to calm the world, can you recruit Lin Hu, Lou Fu, Loulan, Xiu Tu, Hun Xie, and Qiang to serve in the army?" King Qin Zhao thought for a while and asked, "The people of Great Qin, the Benduorong people, the Rong people can serve the Great Qin, and these alien races should also be able to, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, these alien races have just been conquered by Great Qin, and their hearts have not returned, if they are recruited into the army at this time, they will inevitably bury hidden dangers." Fan Sui, a wise man, saw it very accurately, and said: "Even if you want to recruit these alien races into the army, you have to wait until after the governance." It doesn't take too long, it takes three or five years. ”

Let ethnic minorities join the army, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a master figure in this regard. When he fought the Huns, he let the Huns join the army and used the Huns to fight the Huns, and the results achieved were very remarkable. Of course, this is based on the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and without the prestige of the Han Dynasty, it would not have been possible.

King Qin Zhao's idea is very good, and it is also something that will inevitably be carried out in the future, but it is a pity that because these alien races have just been conquered, they cannot be recruited into the army, so they can only be postponed.

"This ......" King Qin Zhao's face was a little ugly, although he knew that Fan Sui's words were very reasonable, but his days were short, he was eager to wipe out the countries and dominate the world, and he absolutely couldn't accept not to advance eastward.

"Do you know how much food Daqin has now?" Fan Sui didn't seem to see King Qin Zhao's ugly face, and continued: "Now there are only thirty percent of the grain in the warehouse in Guanzhong, and only one percent of the grain in the warehouse outside the Guanzhong, and the grain of the whole country can only support a big war, and sweeping away the countries and dominating the world, at least five years, at most ten years, or even longer, the grain of Great Qin is difficult to support." ”

"You're talking nonsense." Ying Xuan stood up violently and shouted: "Who doesn't know that Great Qin is rich and rich, and the first in the world, how can there be no food?" ”

This question was exactly what King Qin Zhao was thinking in his heart, and he echoed: "Yes." Great Qin is known to the whole world to be rich, so there won't be no food, right? ”

Fan Sui was calm, wrenched his fingers, and said: "The first battle of Changping lasted three years, and the savings of nearly 100 years of four generations from filial piety to filial piety were exhausted. After the Changping War, there was only one or two percent of the grain in the warehouse in Guanzhong, and there was no grain in the warehouse outside the Guanzhong. It is precisely because of this that the general's plan to march into Handan was not adopted. Although there was a year of recuperation and recuperation, Guanzhong was ripe, and the next battle of Handan and the battle of Zhongmu were all consumed. Immediately afterwards, the inhuman son raised troops to the north, which lasted more than a year, and the food consumed was not a small amount. This is still because Guanzhong has matured in the past two years, and if there is a disaster in Guanzhong, it will not be able to support it for a long time. ”

After calculating the accounts, King Qin Zhao's heart was shocked, his face turned blue, and his lips were pursed.

He really wanted Fan Sui to be lying, but when he calculated carefully, he found that Fan Sui's calculations were very accurate and not wrong.

"Ota Order." He was still a little unacceptable, and turned his head to look at Datian Ling, who was in charge of money and grain.

"Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is true, and there is no half-word falsehood." Daejeon Ling stood up, his neck stiffened, and Ang Ang said.

"No food?" King Qin Zhao's mouth was bitter.

"Your Majesty, it's not all bad news, there is also good news, that is, there is a lot of money." A smile appeared on Da Tian Ling's face and said, "The Yiren Son's battle has been successful, and there are countless gold, silver, jewelry, and high-grade jade that have been plundered, which can be used for ten years of Great Qin. ”

"So much?" King Qin Zhao had long known that Qin Yiren had plundered a lot of money, but he didn't expect it to be so much, and he was very surprised.

"What the minister said refers to the ten-year war." Ota Ling's words are even more exciting.

"In other words, you don't have to worry about the money in one day?" King Qin Zhao's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Daejeon nodded heavily.

King Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows, his eyes darkened, and said, "There is money and no food, this battle still can't be fought, how can this be good?" ”

A war is fought with money and grain, and it is impossible to fight without money without food, and it is impossible to fight without food, and it can only be fought if there is money and food. The Qin State now has money and no food, and if it wants to fight, it has no way to fight.

"Father, what's so hard about this?" Ying Xuan's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly came up with an idea, and said, "You can't fight big, you can always fight small, right?" The first troops to destroy South Korea, this will not be a problem. ”

King Qin Zhao's eyes lit up, his hands tapped lightly, and said, "Yes, Korea is a small country, as long as the army of Great Qin arrives, it will not perish?" "His days are short, and he wants to destroy the nations and rule the world in his lifetime, even if he cannot destroy them all, but he can destroy a few.

"Father, no." Qin Yiren spoke at the right time and said, "Although South Korea is weak, after all, it is ranked among the seven major warring states, and it should not be underestimated. Moreover, Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, was built by Shen Buxian and was extremely strong, even Pang Juan did not break through it back then. If Great Qin sends troops, although it can destroy Korea, it will not be able to do it in a short time, and it will still take a year and a half. This dispatch requires an army of three or two hundred thousand, and the consumption of grain and grass is not small, and Daqin does not have so much grain and grass at the moment. ”

King Qin Zhao stared at Bai Qi, and before he could ask, Bai Qi said: "If the grain and grass are really as the prime minister said, it will indeed not be able to support the battle to destroy Han." ”

These words are tantamount to a basin of cold water pouring down on his head, King Qin Zhao is eager to sweep away the Six Kingdoms, and the enthusiasm of the day has cooled down all of a sudden, his brows are tightly wrinkled, and he is silent.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Great Qin should temporarily postpone its eastward advance and build up its national strength." Fan Sui admonished again and said: "It doesn't take a lot of time, as long as there are three years and five years." Wang Taisun has conquered large tracts of land and cities, and Daqin has more people than before, as long as it is governed well, Daqin will be even stronger. ”

At present, there is no shortage of people and money in the Qin State, let alone land and cities, the most lacking thing is time, and what is lacking is time to "digest" the land conquered by the Qin Yiren. As long as there are three and five years, the Qin State will digest the results of Qin Yiren's expedition this time, and its strength will be even stronger, which is more than before the Changping War.

At that time, the Qin state will be able to march eastward in a big way, sweep away the nations, and dominate the world.

"Three years and five years?" King Qin Zhao's face was gloomy, and he was about to wring out the water.

Three and five years later, is he still alive? (To be continued......)
