After Ying Zheng returned to the study, he couldn't wait for others to help, so he hung up the map and repeatedly checked the mountains and rivers in Qin and from Qin to the northern nomadic grassland. Ying Zheng was looking at it carefully, and Lang Yu almost came in from outside. Lang Yu saw that Ying Zheng was concentrating on looking at Ying Zheng's map, and he was thoughtful. I didn't bother, and I almost walked into the study with my hands and feet.

When Lang Yu came to the side of the desk and put the refreshments in his hand, Ying Zheng found that Lang Yu had entered the room. Seeing that Lang Yu had placed refreshments on his desk, he hurriedly straightened up and said, "The girl is in trouble!" At the next time, I didn't notice the girl coming in, and I didn't greet her, and I neglected the girl. ”

When Lang Yu heard Ying Zheng's words, and saw Ying Zheng like this, he said, "Wu Anjun laughed. It was the little girl who entered the room without Wu Anjun's permission, disturbing Wu Anjun. If you don't blame it, it's good that you're ”

While the two were talking, the housekeeper Hei Bo said at the door of the study: "Wu Anjun! The generals Meng Fu and Wang Jian arrived. ”

As soon as Ying Zheng heard the housekeeper's words, he hurriedly wanted to stop being polite with Lang Yu, and hurriedly got up and said to the housekeeper Hei Bo: "Hurry up and invite all the generals to come in!" At the same time, Ying Zheng himself also raised his legs and walked out of the door to pick up the generals in person. After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Hei Bo hurriedly answered and went to invite everyone to march into the study and participate in military affairs with Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng walked a few steps outside with the housekeeper Hei Bo, and after seeing the generals, he arched his hand and said, "I'm tired of the generals, please go into the study and talk about it." Ying Zheng said as he raised his hand and invited the generals into the study.

Meng Fu and Wang Jian went into the study after returning the salute and sat down. Ying Zheng arched his hand at the generals and said: "Generals, what is the matter of inviting you to come to the mansion recently, I think everyone already understands it." I won't go into more detail below, I just want to ask you for advice, what is the way to be the Northern Expedition to the Huns, and at the same time to ensure the supply of military supplies along the way. ”

At this time, Wang Jian stepped forward and saluted with his fists and said, "Return to Wu Anjun." It stands to reason that all our generals are Wu Anjun's subordinates, not to mention that the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu is already a plan set by the king to rescue Yan Guo, we just need to do it, but the stakes are very high, and the slightest carelessness is the danger of losing the teacher and humiliating the country, so I have to break a cold water for Wu Anjun's strategy. ”

Meng Fu also said on the side: "Yes! In normal times, those of us who led the troops fought in the Central Plains, although sometimes we would fight deep into the Rongdi territory in the west, but every time we fought a little to keep them away from the towns and shops on our western border. But this time, since it is necessary to drive the Huns directly from the east to the west! Not to mention that it is difficult to attack grain and grass in the barren land, even if there is no problem of grain and grass, a single Xiongnu is not comparable to Xirong. ”

Another general said, "Yes! The barbarians on the plains all came and went on horseback like the wind, and it was difficult to catch up. And the more we drive them, the more their tribes will accumulate in the process of expulsion, and when the time comes, it will snowball, and once we reach a tipping point, we may end up trapping our own soldiers! ”

After Ying Zheng heard this, he frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "That's true." In the past, when fighting in the hinterland of the Central Plains, even if there were no granaries and treasury in the war zone, there would definitely be places where you could rely on gold and silver to buy food and clothing for general needs. Even if it can't be purchased, there are already many traffic channels that can quickly pass through cars and horses between business travelers on the Central Plains, and it is not too complicated to change lanes and change tracks halfway. However, in the grassland, it is barren, and it has become extremely difficult to supply the army with roads that can be used by chariots and horses. ”

"Unless ......" was when Yingzheng was frowning and didn't know how to solve the current trouble, Wang Jian suddenly spoke, as if he had a good idea.

Ying Zheng hurriedly asked: "The general has something to say!" You don't have to spit out. We're working together to figure out a solution, and even if the one we come up with isn't feasible, we can always inspire everyone's thinking. Headquarters, all of us are here now, and our eyes are black! ”

Wang Jian said: "Return to Wu Anjun." The last general's method is to follow the example of the Huns, fight to one place, be late to another, and directly rob the local cattle, sheep and grain as military supplies, so that our army only needs to ask for ordnance and clothing from the country, and the pressure on the rear supply will be much less. ”

"No way!" After hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately refused, "If this is the case, how is our army different from beasts?" Isn't it really the army of tigers and wolves in the mouth of other countries! Absolutely not! All this back and forth is likely to completely anger the Hu people, but when the time comes, they will fight us to the death, and our plan to expel the Huns to the southeast will turn into a bloody battle. On the contrary, it is not good for us. ”

Another general said, "Otherwise...... We simply prepared all kinds of food and grass in China, and then went to the Mobei Wasteland to find trouble with the Lakers. Let Yan Guo hold on a little longer! ”

Ying Zheng shook his head after hearing this, and Wang Jian shook his head while saying, "No! Yan Guo's combat effectiveness, I'm afraid it won't be detected at that time. ”

Meng Fu scratched his head anxiously on the side, and then simply said: "This is not good, that is not good!" Let's just accept people and hit the capital of Qi State! Put the sword on the neck of expectation! See if he withdraws his troops! ”

Ying Zheng frowned after hearing this, but before Ying Zheng could say anything, Wang Jian said: "Who doesn't want to!" But from the Qin State to the Yan State, the road is so far away, not one or two countries passed on the way, the complexity of the situation is far more troublesome than the expedition outside the Saiwai! ”

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "General Wang is right, although Qi is relatively closer to us, the situation along the way is more complicated, so it is not the best choice." ”

Ying Zheng talked with a few people for a few hours, but there was no result, and seeing that it was getting late, he had to disperse for the time being. After the generals left, Yingzheng was left alone in the study looking at the map. Just when Ying Zheng was looking at the map and was at a loss, Flame Spirit Ji entered the study with some refreshments and placed them on the table in front of Ying Zheng.

At this time, Ying Zheng, who had been looking at the map, came back to his senses and found that Flame Spirit Ji had come to his side. Seeing this, Ying Zheng hurriedly said, "You're here." I blame me for thinking that things were too engrossed to notice. Didn't I say that? In the future, just let the next person do these things, and you don't interfere...... I forgot again! The person who asked Heibo to find it hasn't been found yet! ”

Flame Spirit Ji sat back beside Ying Zheng, looked at the map that Ying Zheng had been looking at, and said, "You said it yourself, you have been busy lately and forgot to find someone." Since there are no subordinates, it's okay for me to do more of these goods. It's you, seeing that as soon as you came back today, you kept looking at the map with a heavy heart, and just now you were anxious about so many generals coming, what's wrong? ”

Ying Zheng heard Flame Lingji ask, and he didn't want to hide it from her, so he told Flame Lingji about today's court matter: "I discussed it carefully with the generals just now, but there is still nothing to do. If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid I can only go in person and lead the troops directly to Yan Kingdom. ”

Flame Spirit Ji listened to Ying Zheng's words, leaned over to look at the map hanging in front of Ying Zheng, and couldn't help but leave Ying Zheng's side to take a closer look. Flame Spirit Ji has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, although she doesn't understand military affairs, but she also knows the distribution of forces in the Central Plains, especially the Siyi. Yan Lingji touched the map in his hand and said: "The boundary of the Huns is actually within a few hundred miles of the border of the Central Plains, and if you are far away, you will reach the desert wasteland, and the Huns are not monsters who don't eat or drink, and they can't live." If you calculate it this way, there is not much difference between sending troops to Yan State and sending troops to the Huns? How did it end up like that? ”

Ying Zheng took a sip of the tea brought in by Flame Lingji and said, "Look at it again, how many countries does Qin have to pass through to Yan Kingdom, and how many countries does Qin have to pass through to the grassland?" ”

Flame Lingji tilted his head and looked at the map and said, "The Qin State must pass through the Zhao State to the place of the Huns, otherwise it will have to go far away." If you go to Yan, you will have to pass through Zhao, and if there is a problem with the marching route, you will inevitably have to pass through Korea and Wei. What's wrong? ”

Flame Lingji asked about Yingzheng as she spoke, and at this time, Yingzheng had already come behind Flame Lingji, and while stretching out his hand to stop Flame Lingji's waist, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the map to show Flame Lingji, while explaining: "Look! From Qin to Yan, you have to go through the territory of many countries, but in fact, as long as you transfer through Xincheng, it is enough to pass through Zhao. In between, you only need to go through two exchanges of carriages and horses. After arriving in Yan State, we can also ask Yan State to provide military materials, grain and grass, and we will reduce a lot of logistics burdens inside and out.

But if you go to the Xiongnu, although you can avoid the territory of Zhao State, you can go directly to the territory of the Xiongnu. But once you reach the boundary of Mobei, where people are active, there is no road. You've been in the car for the past ten days, and you know what it's like to walk on the road. Even if the grain and grass are packed in a sack, they are not afraid of bumps like people, but they are heavier. If the road is impassable, it is very difficult for cars and horses to travel together. A supply vehicle that used to be pulled by one horse needed two horses to be able to use it wherever it went. In the Central Plains, if you can walk more than 100 miles a day, you may only be able to walk more than 50 miles a day at most.

This is why it is said that it is very difficult to send troops to Mobei, and it is very difficult to supply in the rear. It's even so difficult that it's impossible. ”

Flame Spirit Ji nodded lightly when she listened, looked at the map and said, "If you can let the countries of Mobei Yanbian provide you with grain and grass transfer, wouldn't it be much better?" ”

Ying Zheng shook his head after hearing this and said: "Yes, it can be, but whether the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu is to support the Yan State or to sweep away the troubles, they have personally proposed to do what they want to do, and others have no reason to care." ”

Flame Lingji was puzzled when she heard this: "It's really strange, aren't you all Huaxia people from the Central Plains (Flame Lingji is from Baiyue, not from the Central Plains)?" How can it be so clearly distinguished? ”。

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Yan Lingji, and said: "If you can see more that you are from Huaxia instead of Zhao and Chu, there will be no chaos in the world after King Zhaoxiang." Saying that, but Ying Zheng also lit up, as if he had indeed been thinking about how to send military supplies from Qin to Mobei, but he didn't expect that he would be able to supply military supplies from Mobei Yanbian countries from time to time.

Flame Lingji was a little stunned when she saw Ying Zheng and looked at the map on the side, knowing in her heart that Ying Zheng must be thinking about something, so she didn't bother, just quietly leaned on Ying Zheng's side.
