Looking at Zhao Yong, who was obviously embarrassed in front of him, Lou was stunned-

Yes?

Those Hu people helped us fight a lot of tough battles and killed a lot of people, according to the conditions they had reached when they promised to be the younger brother of King Zhao - to go back with something, as a matter of course.

What's the hesitation?

Give it and you're done!

It's not that we can't afford it.

This attack on the Qin State, if you look at it from Zhao Yong's point of view - patience has been dormant for many years, once the army is dispatched, and it does not hesitate to expose the unique marching route that Zhao Yong has carefully planned for many years, but he failed to take the opportunity of the enemy's vigilance to completely defeat the Qin State, and just plundered some things back...... If an army is sent to attack Qin again, the Qin people will definitely be prepared.

When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to fight.

Therefore, Zhao Yong felt a little disappointed.

But from Lou Slow, Zhao Zhang ...... And from the perspective of thousands of soldiers of Zhao State, the battle that has just ended is undoubtedly a brilliant victory!

With the strength of Zhao State, and at the same time against the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han - under the personal command of Zhao Yong, Zhao's cavalry army was mighty, with a series of interspersed, outflanked, rapid marches, and surprise attacks...... Fight so that the enemy can't touch the north.

In front of Zhao Guo's new tactics of using cavalry, Qin, Weihan's infantry and chariot troops looked so heavy, dull, and helpless!

On more than one occasion, the Zhao army easily outflanked several times the enemy's strength, and then logically forced them to surrender.

In short, the battle was fought beautifully! Zhao Guo has played the prestige of the world's first military power! With one enemy and three enemies, the whole country will raise their eyebrows!

And judging from the final outcome - Zhao State invaded the hinterland of Qin State, broke the city twenty-three, and plundered back countless grains, goods, and livestock, so that the baggage team was so tired that they vomited blood.

Until now, there are still a large number of seized goods thrown on the edge of the official road, waiting for the baggage team to slowly count and sort out!

Zhao Guo's battle has already made a lot of money!

Although most of the land seized by the Zhao people was eventually returned to the Qin state...... But there are so many things to grab!

Lou Xuan knew that in the middle and late stages of the war, many Zhao soldiers were too lazy to drive away the livestock, cattle and horses that were snatched from the Qin people, and it was not good to leave them to the Qin people, so they simply slaughtered those livestock with a sword, and they didn't even bother to eat the meat, and directly pushed them into the ravine to feed the wild dogs.

Cough!

The state of Chu was already short of livestock...... If such a story were known to Xiong Wuliang, he would be afraid that he would hold his chest and angrily reprimand Zhao Jun's ruined behavior, and then feel so distressed that he had a heart attack......

Just when Lou was thinking about it, Zhao Yong finally slowly spoke-

"The building is slow, and the lives of the widows are passed on - livestock, grain, goods...... As long as it is proposed by the Hu tribe, it can satisfy them. ”

"But—"

"But you can't give to the slaves of the people who have been taken captive."

"Zhao is willing to give them more food and goods to compensate the tribes." Zhao Yong said.

The state of Chu lacks livestock, but there is no shortage of manpower.

And Zhao Guo is the opposite...... There is no shortage of livestock, but the population is limited.

Except for those dependent grassland tribes, the whole country of Zhao has a population of only three million.

In the era of the Warring States Period, there were constant swords and soldiers, calculated according to the outrageous ratio of men and women, age ratio, and disability ratio in the world - among the three million people, the able-bodied male servitable population was basically only one-tenth, that is, 300,000.

If it is one of the two, then the army that Zhao can dispatch in wartime should be about 150,000.

Unless it is faced with the crisis of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, the Zhao people have to mobilize the whole country and the whole people are soldiers, and there is no need to think about future development and agricultural production...... Only then can an army of 300,000 or more be mobilized in one go!

Some readers may want to ask - in the just-concluded battle of Zhao against Qin, the Zhao army dispatched 200,000 troops, why did it exceed the number of '150,000' calculated on paper?

That's because the northern grassland tribes also dispatched tens of thousands of troops - these soldiers, of course, should not be counted in the Zhao State's suitable population.

To sum up, the population of Zhao is small, and manpower is a valuable resource.

In this battle, although the amount of goods, livestock, grain and grass plundered from the Qin State was huge, it was not the most satisfactory harvest for the King of Zhao - what really comforted the King of Zhao was the two or three hundred thousand people who were captured from the Qin State.

It is equivalent to making Zhao Guo's available manpower skyrocket by ten percent!

That is, the production capacity has skyrocketed by 10%! The number of troops that can be mobilized has skyrocketed by 10 percent!

In short, the population is precious in the Zhao Kingdom, and it is not enough to keep it for yourself, how can it be given to the grassland tribe as a slave?

Lou Xuan also understood what King Zhao was thinking, so he arched his hand: "The last general will take the order!" ”

"The ministers will give them more grain, grass and livestock as compensation, and as for the population...... Don't even think about those prairie people. ”

As he spoke, Lou Chu was a little indignant: "If this battle can swallow the Qin State according to the original expectation...... At that time, the territory of our Great Zhao will double, and the manpower will increase by millions...... Alas! What a sight it would be! ”

……

Horse-ridden.

It's infuriating to think about it!

It's all to blame on that damn Miliang child!

Zhao attacked Qin, originally fought well, and all the soldiers and horses won victories...... However, that damn Mi Liang Xiao'er withdrew the Chu army that was deployed on the border, so that the Qin State could mobilize the southern army and devote all of them to the war against the Zhao State......

In addition, when Wei and Han saw that the damned Chu State had withdrawn the troops on the border, they also understood it and sent troops to help the Qin State with all their might!

If it weren't for that, the Zhao army would probably have already broken through Xianyang City at this time!

Mi Liang child, despicable and shameless!

Zhao Zhang, the eldest son on the side, obviously also thought of this, and also spat on the ground angrily: "Mi Liang is shameless! Despicable! ”

He broke his covenant...... In order to make my Zhao country uncomfortable, I didn't even care about the father-killing enmity with the Qin people! ”

"As a courtier, but in the state of Chu, he abused his power and set up the king of Chu - he is disloyal!"

"It is unrighteous to break the covenant!"

"Loving money as much as life and not cultivating virtue - it is unkind!"

"It is unfilial piety to be in the same stream as the enemy country who killed his father!"

"Such a disloyal, unrighteous, unkind and unfilial villain......" Zhao Zhang scolded and spitted, obviously hating Mi Liang Xiao'er: "This person will definitely be stinking for eternity, and will be spit on for future generations forever!" ”

"Unscrupulous prince! Treacherous villain! ”

"Shame on the nobility!"

Listening to Zhao Zhang's scolding, the rest of the Zhao generals also nodded, and even Lao Cheng's solemn Lou Xuan also showed a look of approval on his face.

Regarding Xiong Wuliang, a yellow-mouthed child, Zhao Guoren's views are quite consistent-

Shameless!

I can't eat your meat and sleep your skin!

If it weren't for Xiong Wuliang's treachery, what kind of grand occasion would the Zhao Kingdom be today?

From Hebei in the east to the west in the west!

The entire northwest of the Central Plains is full of the people of Zhao State!

In the vast grassland, all the grassland tribes worship Zhao Guo as their suzerain!

Ay!

It's exciting to think about......

Within five years, the north will be unified; Within 20 years, the world will be pacified - not a dream!

Horse-ridden.

Xiong Wuliang, you really damn it!
