Chapter 225

"Where is the phoenix now?"

"The western suburbs of Shoucheng, on the only way for our army to attack Shoucheng." Fan Chen reported truthfully, without the slightest cover-up, "Although the phoenix bird is sleeping, it exudes a terrifying aura, and the minister knows that it is not an opponent at first sight." In order not to startle the snake, he had to probe from a distance and did not approach. ”

Yin Changying didn't mean to condemn him.

There are only a few witches in Zhaoguo, and they can't be easily damaged, Fan Chen knows that he is invincible, and he will come back to report after investigating the general situation, which is a very wise approach.

Yin Ji cared about the strength of the phoenix bird: "How does it compare to me? ”

"The talents of the ministers are shallow, and it is difficult to compare."

The implication is that it is much stronger than him, and he can't figure it out.

Yin Changying looked at Yin Hui: "The lonely generals Zheng Gao, Sun Qing, Fan Chen, Wei Yizhi, and the three thousand dependents of Zhongtiantai are all sent to you, can you finish the battle?" ”

Yin Ji thought for a moment before saying: "The king must not be left alone, I will take two thousand dependents to dredge all the blocked roads in Gangneung County and rebuild the track within three days." ”

Although he didn't answer positively, Yin Changying knew that this was the meaning of "no problem", so he instructed Zheng Gao: "Conquer millions of men in the six counties of Sanchuan, Nanyang, Hanoi, Hedong, Min, and Nan, and set off in seven days, and all of them will be collected in Jiangling within five days."

When Yin Ji heard the words "million army", she couldn't help but be stunned: "So many people? ”

This is equivalent to pressing all the adult males in Zhaoguo except for the Yongzhou base camp, including Weiguo and Liangguo.

If this war is defeated, Zhao's strength will be lost by at least two-thirds, and it will not be able to recover in forty years, and it may even collapse at all, and the hegemony will be gone.

"Whether the 200,000 troops on the front line of Gangneung County live or die is not yet known, so we must prepare for the worst."

Yin Cheng can be understood.

From a strategic point of view, this was the right decision.

If Chu Qizhen had gained a population of 500,000 for nothing, and became the king of Zhuguo, and then received the help of some external forces, Zhuguo might really be able to regain his vitality and fight against Zhaoguo.

Because of this, we can't let Zhu Guo have a chance to integrate, and we must take advantage of the fact that they haven't eased up yet, increase troops, and completely destroy Zhu Guo!

As soon as she thought about this section clearly, she heard Yin Changying say: "Auntie has been in the country for two days. ”

"Big brother is leaving the royal capital?"

"In the Zhao Kingdom, there are only those who have experience in commanding more than 500,000 troops, only Meng Yuan and Wang Qian." Yin Changying said casually, "Last time, Xin Sheng was selected as the commander, and Wang Gan's face was lost. Now that he is needed, he has to make up for this face for him. ”

So, are you going to go and ask for it in person?

Yin Ji looked at him with a little surprise, and realized for the first time that things like discipline and cheekiness basically didn't exist here in Yin Changying.

Yin Changying knew that he personally went to invite Wang Gan out of the mountain, and if his posture was so low, Wang Gan would definitely worry about him settling accounts after the autumn.

At such times, if the manager has scruples and hesitates, it is the worst thing.

In order to determine the heart of Wang Qian, in addition to the gold of the farmhouse, there must be other rewards.

Yin Changying immediately instructed Zheng Gao: "Let the two queen mothers choose a princess, prepare the dowry immediately, go to the Jiangling Palace, get married in the palace, and marry Wang Qian." In addition, choose 500 beauties in the palace and travel with the princess. ”

Marrying the royal family has always been the easiest way to appease the hearts of courtiers.

As for whether Wang Gan has a wife, whether he is dead or alive is not within the scope of Yin Changying's consideration at all.

When Yin Ji heard that "I got married in the Jiangling Palace", she was already a little confused.

Gangneung has become the front line of the war at this time, even if she can clean it up with Wu and her family, it is not a suitable place to get married, right?

And what does "five hundred beauties" mean?

At the moment of the war, it is already very strange to get married temporarily, and if you send another 500 beauties, even if you give one to each of the senior generals, not to mention whether it is enough or not, this is too ridiculous and not to be true, right?

But soon, Yin Ji realized the true "function" of these five hundred beauties, and her face turned white with a brush.

Seeing that Yin Changying had already walked out, she immediately stood up, ran over quickly, and grabbed the other party's sleeve: "Big brother!" ”

"What?"

"Those five hundred beautiesβ€”" Yin Cheng looked at Yin Changying, her eyes full of pleading, "Can you-"

Yin Changying didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, and said lightly: "Auntie, I know that you have a good heart, but you have to distinguish the importance of the matter." ”

"Butβ€”"

Zheng Gao interrupted Yin Xi's words for the first time, and said politely: "Lord Guowu, the front line has been defeated, and the morale is still not as strong as before. In order to boost morale, extraordinary methods should be practiced in extraordinary times. ”

The so-called extraordinary method is to let 500 beauties go to the labor army?

Yin Ji is not incomprehensible.

The way to stimulate men is nothing more than a few things, money, power, and sex.

On the eve of the war, even if they send money, they can't spend it; Even if land and farmhouses are distributed, they are far away from the front line and have no sense of reality; What can really be seen and touched is the warm fragrant nephrite in front of you.

But she couldn't accept it.

That's an army of millions!

Even if only one in ten people have this "honor", they will die, they will definitely die!

Yin Changying forcefully broke the fingers that Yin Cheng was holding his sleeve tightly one by one, and his expression was calm, without half a wave: "Auntie, in the past two days when you are alone, you should take the responsibility of supervising the country." ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked straight out.

Zheng Gao glanced at Yin Cheng worriedly, gave Abu a look, and then turned his head to follow.

The rest of the people in the hall didn't dare to come out, but Abu walked up and said softly: "Lord Guowu, don't be too sad about such a trivial matter. ”

Yin Ji was really in no mood to answer, and was silent.

Abu knew that she was in a low mood, but he still told the truth: "If you can boost morale and destroy the country, only five hundred beauties, what is it?" Didn't the king select beauties from the harem instead of the people so as not to hurt the people? ”

What doesn't hurt the people!

He did this just because the most beautiful women in the world were all in the palace of King Zhao, and he wanted to use these beauties that ordinary soldiers had never seen to stimulate them to fight hard!

But Yin Ji couldn't interfere with his decision.

One is because he chooses people from his harem, and these beauties belong to him, regardless of whether he is lucky or not. Whether he canonized them as concubines, or rewarded them to courtiers, or gave them to other countries, it was a matter of his words.

The second is because this is something he has already decided.

The only thing she could change was what he thought was less important.

Once he really made up his mind, it was useless for anyone to say anything.

Fan Chen saw that Yin Cheng was sad, and he also stammered and persuaded: "In the market and countryside, there are countless things worse than this, and you have seen a lot of them with your own eyes. ”

"Well, no need to say it." Yin Chengqiang cheered up and fulfilled the responsibility of supervising the country, "Summoned the three dukes, Jiuqing, Zhongtiantai and the generals and guest secretaries to discuss the deployment and transfer of materials for the million-strong army." ”
