"This must not be." The general of Han Zhiguo hurriedly stopped: "If the cavalry of the Zhao army marches out of the camp in a big way, and the Qin army directly attacks our camp, how can our army stop it." Hearing this, Lian Po was suddenly a little speechless, why don't you still have forty or fifty thousand troops in your hands?

Why did Zhao Jun leave and there would be no war? Moreover, with the speed of the cavalry of the Zhao army, in this plain area, it will be possible to rush back in less than two or three hours.

Could it be that in the big camp, hundreds of thousands of troops can't hold out for even a few hours? Obviously, when encountering such an ally, Lian Po didn't know what to do.

I still plan to use this method to lure the Qin army into battle, as soon as you say this, how can you get it?

Although Lian Po knew that this did not constitute a reason, at best it was just the cowardice and cowardice of the Korean army.

But such unreasonable words, whether they are Lian Po or Xin Lingjun, they can't refute them. After all, although it is a bit embarrassing to be afraid of death, as long as you dare to say it, others really don't blame it.

And just when Lian Po had nothing to do, Xin Lingjun unexpectedly thought of a way.

"Since our army is destined not to get it, then let's burn it down." The calm words came out of Xinlingjun's mouth lightly, but they were like a sledgehammer and smashed into Lian Po's heart.

"Burned?" Lian Po looked at Xinlingjun in disbelief. Burning is naturally easy to do, especially in this dry season, when a little spark can burn a large area, let alone set fire to it in a premeditated manner.

It can be said that as long as this fire is connected in series, even if the coalition forces and the Qin army cooperate, they may not be able to extinguish it.

This is indeed a good way to solve the problem of the Qin army harvesting grain and grass, and even if you are not careful, you may be able to eliminate a group of Qin troops who cut grain.

But the problem is, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains! How much more than tens of thousands of grains are produced? Just a fire?

The loser is not such a defeat! Isn't this a tyrannical thing? What's more, this burning destroyed not only the Qin army's military rations!

This burn, what should you do with the hundreds of thousands of people who are waiting to be fed by Zhou Wangji? ! Even if the region of Zhou Wangji can be called rich, it is the merchants and officials who are rich, but they are not the common people among them.

To be able to have two full meals is already considered a well-off home, and to be able to cross the green and yellow connections is already the luck of the lucky, and it is almost rare for the family to have more than a year of grain storage.

The fields that should have been harvested were burned by you, how do you want the people of these dozens of cities to spend this autumn and winter?

Thinking of this, Lian Po seemed to suddenly understand Xinlingjun's intentions, and couldn't help but feel a chill gradually in Lian Po's heart.

Yes, it's not that Xin Lingjun doesn't know what kind of catastrophe such an act will bring to these hundreds of thousands of people, but he knows too well.

But he didn't care at all. The reason why he doesn't care is not because he was born in the royal family, on the contrary, just as his mind is so vast that it is very different from other royal families, Xinlingjun is probably a rare person in the royal family who knows the suffering of the people.

But the more this is the case, the more terrible this strategy becomes. Because almost all of the more than a dozen cities in Zhou Wangji have been occupied by the Qin army.

In other words, if the coalition forces burned the grain that was about to ripen in a fire, then the cities taken by the Qin army would not only not provide the Qin army with the convenience of obtaining food on the spot, but would become a burden to the Qin army.

Yes, hundreds of thousands of people, if the Qin army doesn't want to starve all over their city, then they can only mobilize more food from Guanzhong, Shudi, and even Hexi to tide the people through the difficulties.

In this way, the purpose of consuming the Qin army was not only achieved, but even had the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Not only that, but in order to be able to recover its losses in the coming year, or at least not to suffer such a large loss, the Qin army must launch an attack on the coalition forces as soon as possible.

Then, the purpose of the coalition forces to force the Qin army to attack was achieved. Such a simple strategy, but it kills two birds with one stone, and it is not bad.

Of course, everything has a price, and the price of Xinlingjun's plan is the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in the homeland of the Zhou Dynasty.

Sure enough, even the so-called Xinlingjun is

"Enlightened" people still maintain the usual indifference of the upper echelons to the people at the bottom. In the eyes of all the superiors, hundreds of thousands of Qianshou people are actually no different from a nest of ants, and if they die, they will die, and they can even fertilize the soil.

If this were the case in all countries, it might not matter. After all, it is never the comparison between countries who is better, because everyone has a better side, and even Africa, the most backward country, is far superior to the superpower United States, at least in terms of discrimination.

Between countries, the comparison is always about who is worse. There is no way to survive in the Six Kingdoms, so I went to the Qin State, although the Qin State is very involuted, but the Qin State can still survive.

It doesn't matter if all countries continue to be like this. It is terrible that some countries seem to be still enforcing the slavery system, but in fact they have already transitioned to the feudal system.

I am not afraid that the monarchs of various countries will treat the people as dung, but I am afraid that a country will suddenly attach importance to the people. Obviously, Zhao Guo is such an alternative.

To be exact, it was the cabinet of Zhao under the rule of Zhao Kuo.

"Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat", Zhao Kuo has emphasized it in front of everyone many times, as the second assistant of the cabinet, Lian Po naturally heard the ears calloused.

Naturally, for Xin Lingjun's strategy of harming the people to achieve his goal, Lian Po felt disgusted at the first time.

Even the little admiration for Xinlingjun that had just been in my heart just now dissipated invisibly. Because, Lian Po knew that with the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State, it was very likely that he would adopt another method that Xinling Jun had not thought of at all, to deal with the famine that might come.

Yes, in the face of the embarrassing situation of preparing grain and grass to burn, in addition to rescuing and rescuing the remnants of the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin army also had a choice - that is, to sit back and watch the remnants of the Zhou Dynasty suffer.

After all, in essence, these hundreds of thousands of people cannot be regarded as people of the Qin State. In the case of not attaching the will of the people, it took great efforts to transfer grain from Guanzhong and Shu thousands of miles away to rescue, and I am afraid that it will not get the support of these remnants of the Zhou Dynasty, which is obviously a business that outweighs the losses.

Would the always shrewd monarchs and ministers of the Qin State do this? From Lian Po's point of view, the possibility of Qin Guoguo doing so is almost zero.

The obvious example is the Battle of Changping. After three years of confrontation, the entire Shangdang is almost empty, of course, there is a reason for the war between the two countries, Zhao State is already too busy to take care of itself, but Qin State obviously still has spare strength.

If the Qin State is willing to help, at least on the west bank of the water, in the area controlled by the Qin army, there should not be a situation of ten rooms and nine emptiness.

But in fact, within the control of the Qin State, except for a few large cities that still have a little popularity, other small towns and countryside have long been barren and grassy.

For the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, in their experience, having land means having people, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

This is the case for the attack on Shuzhong, the occupation of Hexi, and the land of Yanying in the Chu State, the Qin army is attacking all the way and killing all the way, but the population of these places is like leeks, cutting all the way and growing all the way.

As for the old land of the Zhou Dynasty, the same is naturally true. The people of the Zhou Dynasty ran out of food? What's the matter with my Qin State?

In Qin's vision, instead of saving the people, it was better to take this opportunity to liquidate and screen the people of the Zhou Dynasty, which could be regarded as laying a foundation for later governance.

Therefore, according to Lian Po's prediction, if it is implemented according to Xinlingjun's strategy. Although it can increase the consumption of the Qin army, it will never allow the Qin army to rescue the people.

But so what? It can increase the consumption of the Qin army, and to a certain extent, it will also force the Qin army to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, isn't it already achieved the goal of Xinling Jun!

For the Qin army, it was the coalition that did the evil, and it was in the name of justice that he had and less constraints on future governance, which may not be a bad thing.

It seems that neither side is unacceptable to such a thing. The only ones who suffered were the hundreds of thousands of people of the Zhou Dynasty who had died in the country.

Thinking that the scene of the layers of white bones in the Shangdang area was about to reappear in Zhou Wangji, Lian Po's heart was uncomfortable for a while.

If he was still a passive party in the Battle of Changping, and he was helpless about what happened to the people, then this tragedy was purely his own doing.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Lian Po. Immediately, Lian Po was about to speak out against it, but he was preempted by the generals of Han Zhiguo and Chu on the side.

"Your genius!" The general of Han Zhiguo, who was still a little disdainful of Xinlingjun just now, immediately started the mode of praising Xinlingjun after some thought: "The magic of this plan not only cut off the way for the Qin army to get food, but also put the Qin army, which had occupied the city of the Zhou Dynasty, into an embarrassing situation of saving or not saving. The general of the State of Chu also immediately took over the topic, and then said: "Help, those hundreds of thousands of people are enough to make the Qin State go north with a heavy burden, I am afraid that if we can't hold out in the next year, we will be forced to go to war with our army; If you don't save it......" halfway through the words, the general of Chu didn't know how to continue.

Obviously, he also realized that it was very likely that the Qin State would turn a blind eye to these people, and would not rescue them at all, and there would be no loss.

Seeing that the general of the Chu State was blocked from speaking, the general of Han Zhiguo hurriedly said: "Even if the Qin State does not rescue those Qiantou, at least, it is enough to cut off the Qin army to take food on the spot." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The general of the Chu State also hurriedly said: "It is wonderful to abolish a road for the Qin army without such effort." Between the two singing and harmonizing, Xin Lingjun's terrifying strategy turned into a clever plan.

Although Lian Po knew that it was wrong, he found that he couldn't seem to find the words to refute them. Could it be that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat?

Or is it that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light? I'm afraid that when I say it, what I say will be ushered in is not a burst of ashamed thinking, but a ruthless mockery.

Just as you can never paint the colors of heaven and earth with a person who is born blind, you can never force your opinions into the minds of clans that already have deep-rooted concepts.

But that's hundreds of thousands of people!
