Chapter 160: Cotton
At this time.
Wang Jian finally opened his mouth and explained.
"Nineteen sons, I don't know, now I Daqin, it seems, is indeed extremely strong, sending troops to the grassland, it must be a winning battle, but, nineteen sons, the old man has fought for so many years, and he knows one thing, that is, in the war, all aspects and various problems need to be taken into account......"
Wang Jian is like an old mother with a mother-in-law, and she began to educate to win Changsheng.
And Win Changsheng and Xiang Yu really listened to Wang Jian - nonsense.
Who is Wang Qian?
This person is a few people who have destroyed the country, and he is a rare good general in the world!
It can be said that in front of him, Xiang Yu can only be regarded as the existence of small characters!
After all, all over the world.
How many soldiers and horses has Xiang Yu commanded?
Let's just say that, very confident, known as Han Xin, who has more soldiers, the better.
How many soldiers and horses have you commanded?
And Wang Jian is a general who has commanded an army of 600,000 to destroy Chu!
Manage an army of 600,000!
In addition, Wang Jian has accumulated countless experiences over the years.
It can be said that looking at the world, Wang Jian is the only existence in Daqin.
His suggestion must have some truth in that.
At this moment, Wang Jian showed a trace of bitterness on his face, and said to Ying Changsheng.
"Nineteen sons, the old man also wanted to sweep the grassland earlier, but these days, after the old man carefully studied the grassland, he found that this matter is not so simple......"
"This may be much more difficult than my Great Qin and the southern expedition to Baiyue......"
"Because, the grassland in the north is too vast!"
"My Great Qin's soldiers and horses, after entering it, even if there is a map to help, you can find the Donghu people, but along the way, if these Hu people on the grassland, one after another, flee to the north, what should we do?"
"Isn't it, can't you chase all the way?"
"Where do you have to chase that?"
yes, it's really hard to chase!
Because the grasslands are too vast.
And the army of Great Qin.
Once deep into the grassland.
Logistics transfer will be extremely difficult.
Even if Great Qin is strong.
But really, it's also a little unbearable.
At this time, Wang Jian raised another very important question, only to see him, with a bitter face, he explained to win Changsheng.
"Moreover, what the minister is more worried about is another thing, this matter, if you don't think about it properly and do a good job of protection, I am afraid that the Northern Expedition under the haste of my Great Qin is very likely to evolve into an unprecedented fiasco!"
"Even, my Great Qin's soldiers and horses will not fall under the enemy's sword......"
"Old General Wang, Han Xin disagrees with your words!"
At this time, Han Xin, who came over at some point, suddenly opened his mouth and said with a laugh.
"In this world, who else but the enemy can cause us to die?"
"Could it be a ghost?"
"I don't believe in this anymore, I've always believed in Han Xin, I don't believe that there will be such a thing in the world!"
"The old man doesn't believe it either!"
Wang Jian on the side, hearing this, echoed, and then he said.
"What the old man said is not a ghost, Han Xin, what month is it now?"
"Now, it's August, and autumn is cool, it's a good time!"
When Han Xin heard this, he said without thinking.
"yes, it's August!"
Wang Jian muttered.
During the Qin Dynasty, there were only ten months in a year.
At this moment, I only heard Wang Jian sigh with emotion.
"Now, winter is about to begin, and when the time comes, the weather will be cold, you Han Xin, do you know the problem?"
"Once it is winter, the difficulty of transporting grain and grass in my Daqin will increase several times!"
"Moreover, the bitter cold on the grassland is far from what the people within our Great Wall can bear, what will happen to the soldiers when they enter the grassland in such weather?"
"Probably, out of ten, there are seven or eight people, all of whom will be frostbitten, or directly, frozen to death, right?"
"This ......"
For a while, Han Xin's face changed suddenly.
On the side, Xiang Yu, who was originally full of ambition, also showed a heavy face after hearing the words.
At this time, I only heard Wang Jian open his mouth and say.
"So, the old man plans to wait until next year, after the beginning of spring, it's not too late to make a strategy......
"However, next year, there will be a cold winter......
At this time, Ying Changsheng muttered.
Yes, winter, but not just this year.
There will be next year, and the year after that, there will be the same.
In such a situation.
If within a year, Great Qin would not be able to wipe out the nomads of the entire steppe.
Then, in winter, the Qin army will usher in the enemy's counterattack in the snow and ice.
As soon as he thought of this, Ying Changsheng frowned.
And Wang Jian also had a heavy face.
"Yes, within a year, it is really difficult to sweep the grassland!"
"How hard is it?"
At this time, Xiang Yu frowned and muttered.
Wang Jian sneered.
"How big is the grassland? Combined, the area is wider than the rivers and mountains that my Great Qin occupies now! ”
"I, Daqin, if I want to sweep all this place away, how difficult is it?"
"How many soldiers and horses do you have to station?"
"Therefore, it is indeed extremely difficult to send a small number of elite soldiers to proceed slowly, and within a year, it is indeed extremely difficult to complete such a big undertaking......"
"Moreover, it is bitterly cold in Saibei, if I am in Daqin and sweep away the Hu people, I will have to send troops to stay here for a long time, right?"
"And the garrison, if it can't solve the important matter of keeping warm and warm, how can the soldiers stick to the bitter cold and ice and snow in the north?"
"This ......"
Han Xin and Xiang Yu had heavy faces.
This way.
The two of them really can't be solved.
The reason is also very simple.
Who let Han Xin still have Xiang Yu.
Are both both Southerners?
So, for the two of them, experience the bitter cold of Saibei.
Yes, it's a bit difficult.
At this time, Ying Changsheng was thoughtful.
Immediately, he laughed a few times.
"Haha, this son is still in charge, what is this difficult matter, this matter is very simple!"
"Oh?"
Wang Jian and the others on the side were surprised, and then looked at Ying Changsheng.
At this time, I only saw that Ying Changsheng explained with a smile.
"Ben Gongzi's method is very simple!"
"Ben Gongzi, I recently got a new crop, called cotton, if you use this thing to make clothes and wear them on your body, it will be enough to resist the cold!"
All right.
Win longevity.
It is going to sacrifice cotton in advance!
Cotton this thing.
It is not a native crop of China.
On the contrary, it was not until the Song Dynasty that this thing was widely implemented in China.
At this moment, Ying Changsheng plans to come out this thing in advance.
In his opinion, with cotton clothes and quilts, it is enough to resist the cold climate of the north!
Well, in the military of later generations, these things are also used, and the effect of cotton against the cold, no matter how bad it is, is much stronger than the winter clothes that are popular in Daqin and filled with sun-dried reed flowers!
