In view of the Jin army of the Northern Expedition, the eastern and western fronts were frustrated, and they only occupied some cities north of the Yangtze River, with little gain, but they lost troops and consumed a lot of money and food.

The main battle faction is headed by Sima Yu, Yin Hao, and Sima Yi, the kings of Huiji; The main peace faction was headed by Situ Cai Mo, Xie You, and Wang Xizhi. The two factions insist on their own words and express their own opinions.

General Jianwu and Yangzhou Assassin Shi Yinhao played first: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, now Huan Wen's Jingzhou Army has joined forces with Xie An's Beifu Army to attack Yangwu City of Wei, and the rest of the Gushan and Wei clan's battles are still stalemate. But Yangwu City is the last barrier of the Great Liang, the Great Liang is the capital of the Wei State, conquer the Great Liang, and my Great Jin can then enter Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places in the Central Plains! The recovery of the Central Plains is just around the corner! ”

"Your Majesty is requested to continue to increase troops in Yangwu City, and at the same time collect more grain from all over the country and send it to the front line!"

"Reinforcements? How many soldiers and horses does the imperial court need to reinforce, and how much food and salary is wasted? Cai Mo sneered and said, "Lord Yin Hao, I don't know if you have calculated, in the entire Northern Expedition this time, my Jin Kingdom invested nearly 300,000 troops before and after, and the consumption of food and salary is not more than 10 million?" But what about the results? ”

"Our Jin army only took Pengcheng County, Lanling County, Xiangcheng County, Yingchuan County and Xiapi County. These five counties and some cities still haven't been taken! The imperial court has invested so many troops and so much food, it is not easy to exchange for these territories, and now it is necessary to continue to invest? Aren't you afraid of dragging down the national strength of our Great Jin? ”

Yin Hao straightened his waist and said in a deep voice: "Lord Situ's words are wrong! As the saying goes, there will be gains and losses, and there will be gains and losses. As much as you invest, you will earn as much as you want! Now the war on the front line is in a stalemate stage, the Wei State is still continuously increasing troops to Yangwu, and the balance of victory is gradually tilting in favor of the Wei army! ”

"Not long ago, Huan Wen, the general of Zhengxi, also sent a letter to the imperial court requesting the withdrawal of troops. The note stated the difficulty of the war and the shortage of food and grass in the army! This winter, the soldiers lack food and clothing, arrows, and even some weapons have been worn out, can no longer be used, let me ask, can we continue to fight in this situation? ”

Cai Mo said loudly: "Since you can't fight anymore, you will withdraw to the country!" ”

"A good sentence to withdraw to the country!" Yin Hao glared and said: "Cai Situ, do you know that because of your sentence of withdrawing to the country, it will cause our Jin army to suffer a lot and pay for the lives of thousands of soldiers to fight the land, and it will be in vain?" ”

"Wouldn't it be better to hold on to the five counties we occupy? The Northern Expedition can be encroached upon step by step and advanced step by step! ”

"Lord Situ said it lightly!" Yin Hao said: "The few counties we occupy are not in danger at all. Otherwise, since ancient times, Chu Qi could not take Jianghuai as the boundary, Wei Wu could not use Jianghuai as the boundary, and it would be impossible for our Great Jin to rule with Zhao and now Ran Wei! ”

"So, you have to increase your troops?" Chu Garlic, who was listening to the government, frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Yin Hao lowered his hand and said: "Queen Mother, you really have to increase your troops." Not only did the troops increase, the soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, in order to support this war, the imperial court also needed to invest more grain and straw, and recruit more people. ”

"Can we still fight this battle?"

Cai Mo glared at Yin Hao angrily: "The Wei country has a great cause, strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient warehouses, they are not afraid of war, but everyone is warlike!" But our Jin State is different, it seems that the territory is only a little smaller than that of Wei, but the land that can be used is far less than that of Wei! Don't you know the battle of Changping? ”

"Haha! Who doesn't know about the Changping War, who doesn't know? ”

"Today's Wei is the Qin of the past, and the Jin of the past is the Zhao of the past!" Cai Mo was very excited, and spit stars flew all over the sky: "Our soldiers and horses seem to be evenly matched with the Wei State, but in terms of national strength, the Wei State is far stronger than my Jin State!" ”

"Zeistu's words are inevitably a little ambitious and destroy his own prestige! Wei Guoguo is only four or five years old, stronger than soldiers, and works in agriculture, but they have been reckless in military force and fighting abroad one after another over the years, and the country is actually already exhausted, how much national strength can Wei have left? ”

Cai Mo said in a deep voice: "Yin Hao, aren't you afraid that our Great Jin will end up with a fate like Zhao Guo during the Warring States Period?" ”

"No way!"

Yin Hao swore solemnly: "What was the situation of the Zhao State at that time, and what is the situation of my Dajin now?" It's not the same at all! Didn't Cai Situ Shicai talk about the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping? Okay, I'll have a good argument with you! ”

"In the Battle of Changping, the army of Qin and Zhao was nearly one million, which was a great pressure on logistics and grain and grass materials. Therefore, this war is also a contest of the comprehensive national strength of the two sides. ”

Yin Hao took two steps forward, staring at Cai Mo's eyes, extremely arrogant and domineering, and didn't understand the old and love for the young at all: "Compared with the economic strength of the two sides before the war, Qin is located in Yongzhou in "Yu Gong", and the land is of the highest quality!" After Qin Xiaogong succeeded to the throne, he appointed Shang Ying to preside over the reform, and carried out comprehensive and in-depth reforms from the economic base to the superstructure, and the Qin State quickly became rich and strong. After several generations of business, the army was strong and wealthy. ”

When the ministers heard Yin Hao's words, they all bowed slightly. Because everyone knows these things very well, and they often sit and talk about it, Yin Hao's point of view is really not unusual at all.

Yin Hao said again: "When the Battle of Changping will take place, Qin has the benefits of Hu Wan in the north, the Rao of Bashu in the south, the risk of controlling Tongguan in the east, and the reward for farming, so the war economy is very strong, and the reserves of various strategic materials are very sufficient. And the water conservancy is developed, and military supplies are often transported by waterways! Can today's Wei State be as strong as the Qin State at that time? ”

"Humph! Only strong, not weak! Cai Mo said he was very unconvinced.

Heh, this old man talks clearly, but I still want to fool around?

Yin Hao was very contemptuous in his heart, and even showed it on his face.

And Yin Hao's basic argument is like this:

Zhao is located in Jizhou, which is "Yu Gong", and its agricultural resources are not as good as those of Qin, Qi, Wei and other countries.

Zhao "thin land and people", located in the north, although the territory is vast and the arable land is limited, has always attached equal importance to agriculture and commerce, and its "folk customs are anxious, relying on the opportunity to eat", "good spirit, let the chivalrous as a traitor, do not do agriculture", so the agricultural economy is relatively backward in the six countries.

Although the reform of King Wuling of Zhao in the middle of the Warring States period was once prosperous, compared with the Shang Dynasty reform of the Qin State, the reform of the Zhao State was limited to the military field, and the political and economic reform was relatively weak.

After King Huiwen of Zhao succeeded to the throne, he had no time to implement Zhao's second reform, so Zhao was "relatively lagging behind in agricultural development and no longer adapted to the needs of large-scale wars for supremacy in successive years", and the war reserves were not sufficient, and he was unable to support large-scale long-term wars.

Comparing the military strength of the two countries, the Qin army has "more than 100,000 tigers, thousands of cars, and 10,000 horses." The land is close to the northwest, the people are fierce and martial, the Qin horses are excellent, and the Qin cars are fast, which can be called a supermilitary power.

And the Qin army is known as the division of tigers and wolves, and the soldiers of the Qin army on the battlefield are invincible. Zhao has "hundreds of thousands of people with armor, thousands of cars, and 10,000 horses".

Known for his crossbow cavalry, Zhao formed a cavalry unit earlier, so Zhao's cavalry was well-trained, had high military literacy, and had rich experience. From this point of view, Zhao's military strength was slightly weaker than Qin's, and at most equal to Qin's.

To sum up, Zhao's comprehensive national strength is inferior to that of Qin.

Seeing a huge court, it has become Yin Hao's "Yiyan Hall", and it has become a place for ministers to sit and talk, chat and fart, Chu Lianzi felt a headache.

At this time, Sima Yu, the already sleepy king of Huiji, stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the minister thinks what Lord Yin said is very true. In today's general trend, my Jin Kingdom must no longer retreat! If we take a step back, Ran Wei will go further, and when we have no way out, the Jin Kingdom will also die! ”

Look, what Sima Yu said is of a high level, and he hit the nail on the head, waking up the person in his dream with one word!

Chu Lianzi said sadly: "King Huiji, has the situation really reached this point?" ”

"Queen Mother, it's not that the minister is alarmist. In this battle, if our Jin army cannot win, the Wei State will gain an inch. At present, the Wei army from all walks of life has rushed to Daliang in a steady stream, and is waiting for the day, let's withdraw, the Wei army will attack on a large scale, and even cross the Yangtze River, hit Jiankang, and destroy my Dajin! ”

"So, we have to fight?"

"Fight, and must fight!"
