An earth dragon turned over and unknowingly attacked Daijun, and the people of Daijun suffered heavy casualties without preparation. If it was simply the earth dragon turning over, Daijun would not be mournful.

At the end of spring ploughing, it was the time when the Xiongnu were most likely to commit the border, because the ground moved, the Xiongnu took the opportunity to go south, and wanted to plunder Daijun, but fortunately Li Xin was the guard of Daijun, and drove away the Xiongnu in time with Wuling iron cavalry in Yanmen Pass.

Li Xin and a team of Wuling Iron Cavalry were cleaning up the battlefield, and the villages on the side had been reduced to ruins, and the corpses of the people were wantonly abandoned on the road.

Seeing this scene, Li Xin's eyes were full of anger, and the soldiers of the Wuling Iron Cavalry on the side took weapons and cut down the corpses of the Hun cavalry on the ground to vent their anger.

"General, you can't be blamed for this. If it weren't for this ground movement, the Xiongnu would never have dared to go south. Sima Shang said on the side.

After Li Mu became Wu Anjun, the Wuling Iron Cavalry still needed someone to lead the Huns, so Sima Shang stayed at Yanmen Pass and became Li Xin's deputy general.

"Why don't I know? If it were normal times, as long as the Huns dared to go south, I would definitely let them come and go. Li Xin said as he plunged his spear into the ground.

"The world is impermanent." Sima Shang said helplessly.

At the end of spring ploughing, the Huns had been prepared to go south, but a sudden turn of the earth dragon made a huge gap in their defense line, which gave the Huns an opportunity to break through the defense line of Yanmen Pass.

"I don't know what's going on in the clouds." Li Xin said with some concern.

There is Dai County behind Yanmen Pass, and there are more guards of Wuling Iron Cavalry, they can fight back at any time to expel the Huns, but Yunzhong County is different, Yunzhong County itself is the forefront of the Huns, and it is far away from Dai County, supply is a problem, if this ground movement involves Yunzhong County, the situation of Yunzhong County at this time is definitely worse than Dai County.

"As soon as the ground movement ended, I sent people to Yunzhong County to investigate the situation, and the people who were sent out have not yet returned, and I hope that the ground movement has not affected Yunzhong County." Sima Shang said, "The letter of help we sent to the court should have arrived, as long as the court sends people to support us and settle the people of Daijun, I will definitely take my sons and let the Huns pay for their blood debts!" ”

"Well, the Jingguan cast by Wu Anjun back then was still too small." Li Xin looked in the direction of the Xiongnu, licked his lips and said.

Under normal circumstances, Sima Shang, as the deputy general, would have to advise the main general not to cause too much killing, but this time Sima Shang only wanted to follow Li Xin to cast a 100,000-strong Jingguan again.

At this time in Xianyang, there was silence in the main hall of the Qin Palace, everyone's eyes were full of bloodshots, their fists were clenched, even the people who were usually the most reluctant to fight were gritting their teeth and shouting for war at this moment. The reason why the Qin court could unanimously start a war with a foreign country was because Yingzheng read out the letter of help sent by Li Xin in public just now.

The Huns took advantage of the land of Daijun to move south to plunder, not to mention that foreigners like the Huns themselves were ostracized, and the other party took advantage of the natural disasters in Daijun to invade, which stepped on the minefield of these ministers. In the Central Plains, if there is a natural disaster in other countries, other countries are not allowed to attack this country, otherwise they will be spurned by the world.

Even if the Spring and Autumn Righteous War has been almost abandoned now, it is still a tacit agreement to not send troops to attack the other party when other countries suffer natural disasters, and now the various actions of the Xiongnu are tantamount to stepping on a minefield.

"Ministers, please fight, exterminate the clan!" The ministers stepped forward and said.

"It is inevitable to send troops to the Xiongnu, but the top priority is to send people with supplies to support Daijun and save the affected people first." Ying Zheng said coldly. The Huns took advantage of the natural disaster in Daijun to invade the south, which made Yingzheng very angry, and this time he even thought about how to send troops to the Xiongnu, that is, to make the Xiongnu completely disappear on the grassland at all costs.

"Yingchuan County has twenty-five granaries that are very full, and they can mobilize grain to Daijun at any time. Although Handan County was also affected by the ground movement, it was not greatly affected, and Chen Ping's recital also said that there was surplus grain to support Daijun. Zhang Cang arched his hand and said, "The houses affected by the disaster can be temporarily replaced by military tents, so that the people can temporarily have a place to live, and then make plans after the houses are repaired." ”

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhang Cang with satisfaction, and after Zhang Cang became the internal history of Su Zhisu, Ying Zheng never worried about things such as grain and grass, population, land, and taxes.

"Very good, you immediately mobilize food and grass supplies to support Daijun. At the same time, prepare the supply of food and grass for the army to go out. Ying Zheng nodded and said.

Zhang Cang was slightly stunned, he only said that there was food to support Daijun, and he did not say that there was food to support the army to go on the expedition, but Yingzheng's order had been issued, and the entire court was now ready to destroy the Huns at any cost, even if it was to change him, he had to conjure up the grain and grass to support the army's expedition.

"No!" Zhang Cang said helplessly,

"The matter of sending troops cannot be delayed, and the world is summoned to recruit soldiers. Wu Anjun and Li Mu personally led the troops north. At the beginning, Wei Yu defeated the 200,000 Xiongnu army led by Touman in Shangdang County, and the Xiongnu could not be defeated. This time, the widows want to completely destroy the Huns, and in the future, anyone who dares to use swords and soldiers will destroy the country! Ying Zheng said with a wave of his hand.

"No!"

After the end of the court, dozens of summons soldiers rushed out of Xianyang with the edict of Yingzheng, and the people of Xianyang were curious about what happened to let dozens of Langzhong leave Xianyang with the edict all of a sudden? Under normal circumstances, there will only be such a situation if the national disaster or the enemy has entered the Hangu Pass, but now that the six countries have been pacified and the world has surrendered, who else can enter the Hangu Pass?

Just when the people of Xianyang speculated, the Xianyang order had already conveyed the edict of conscription, and when it was learned that the Xiongnu took advantage of the land of Daijun to move and invade and slaughter the people in the south, the people of Xianyang were angry, and the young strong man began to respond to the call and ran to the barracks to prepare to enlist.

Not only the people of Xianyang actively joined the army, but the hundreds of disciples in the Great Qin School Palace were even more enthusiastic, and the people of the various families and factions in the Great Qin School Palace learned the news, and wrote to the heads of the various families, asking them to send people to Daijun for disaster relief or to Yanmen Pass to prepare to attack the Xiongnu.

Mohism.

"The Huns took advantage of the natural disaster in Daijun to invade and slaughter the people of Daijun, and my Mo family must not sit idly by. The sons and daughters of the Mo family brought food and went to Yanmen Pass with me! Jing Ke held the giant order, calling on the entire Mo family disciples to go to Daijun for disaster relief and expelling foreign enemies.

"Command!"

Taoist.

"In the prosperous times, the mountain cultivates, and the troubled times calm the world. The missionary Tianren ordered, no matter where the disciples of the Taoist Tianren sect were, what important things they had, go to Daijun, rescue the people, and expel the Xiongnu. "Xiaomeng and Qingfengzi launched the Taoist Heavenly and Human Order, and asked the entire Taoist disciples to dispatch Daijun.

Confucianism has always taken Zhou Li as a strategy for governing the country, which does not take advantage of the danger of people, does not send troops in other natural disasters, and even sends people to rescue is also part of Zhou Li, the Huns as a foreign race have been despised by Confucianism, and now they are stepping on Zhou Li on the ground, and the anger of Confucianism is greater than that of other hundred schools.

"Order Confucian disciples, all those who are subordinate families of Confucianism, pay money and food, and all Confucian disciples go to Daijun to wait for the edict at any time!" Fu Nian gave an order directly in the Little Sage Village.

Doctor, Jinghu Medical Village.

"Teacher, are we going to Daijun this time?" Duanmu Rong said as she packed up her tools.

"That's right, doctors save the world and save the people, although we don't participate in the war, we can save the people." Nian Duan said as he straightened his clothes.

"But your body." Duanmu Rong's eyes flashed with worry. Nian Duan's body is already getting worse day by day, otherwise he would not have left Xianyang and resigned from the position of the Qin State to train doctors in the school palace to sacrifice wine.

"This is the fate of the doctor. Qin Guo is about to cure this world, and now that Qin Guo has acne on his body, I can't sit idly by. Get ready. Nian Duan said with a smile.

"Okay, should we let the rest of the doctor go to Daijun as well?" Duanmu Rong asked.

"No, if they were still a healer, they would have gone." Nian Duan shook his head and said.

"yes, I see."

As Nian Duan said, the disciples of the medical family in the folk or powerful families also began to pack their bags and head in the direction of Daijun.

Farmers, Yin-Yang families, famous families, and so on also mobilized their disciples to go to Daijun. This war has risen to the level of humiliation of the entire nation, and none of the people of Qin want to stay out of it.

With the mobilization of personnel, the entire Qin State was like a clockwork chariot, and all the forces headed towards Daijun.

Inside the King's Mansion.

"Senior brother, you have to help me. The grain and grass of the Qin State are really not enough! Zhang Cang took Ziyou's hand and cried.

"Senior brother, you let go of my hand first, I also know that the grain and grass in the Qin State are insufficient." Ziyou looked at Zhang Cang helplessly and said.

The grain reserves of the Qin State for many years have been almost consumed, and in the past, after fighting a country, they would recuperate for a period of time, so that new grain and grass could be replenished, so that there was no chaos. However, in the past two years, the Qin State first fought the Zhao State, and then destroyed the pseudo Chu State, in order to completely encircle the people of the Chu State in Fusu, the Qin State gave money, food and materials, and its consumption was no less than a war to destroy the country. The state of Qi has just been pacified, and it also needs money and food support. Daijun was affected by the disaster, and it was even more in need of money and food for disaster relief, and the entire Qin State was only one major war away from internal collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, Zhang Cang wouldn't have come to Ziyou to cry.

"It's not enough! The granary of Bashu is already two-thirds empty, and the rest is the foundation of the Qin State, which cannot be moved. Yingchuan and Dongjun are the only ones I said about the granaries that can still be mobilized, and the others also need to be moved in various places just in case. Although Yuyang County has recovered, they have also been affected by the ground movement, and they also need to deal with the Hu people. This time, there are at least 300,000 troops, not to mention that they will go south to fight Baiyue and go west to the Western Regions. Zhang Cang took Ziyou's hand and didn't let go, for fear that Ziyou would run away.

"I know all this, if there is no way, I naturally can't support the king to make such a big move." Ziyou said.

"What's the solution?" Zhang Cang directly let go of Ziyou's hand and said.

"When there was a locust plague in the Qin Kingdom, didn't there be one time?" Ziyou said.

"Do you mean to let the ministers and the people collect donations? Wait until the end of the war, and return them after the autumn harvest? Zhang Cang said, "No, if it's okay in normal times." But not this time, you don't know the situation last year, according to our calculations, last year because of the weather, the grain harvest in the main grain-producing areas dropped by at least one and a half percent, as for the grain and grass that the people earned, in addition to the grain tax they went to pay, it was difficult to support the autumn harvest, let alone let them raise donations.

It is easy to say that they have money and food, but unless the magnates of the whole country take out their family resources, they will not be enough for at least 300,000 people to eat and chew. ”

"Of course I know that. But in addition to the magnates and the common people, there were also people who could also provide the grain and grass used by the army. Ziyou said.

Zhang Cang was stunned for a moment and said

"You mean the merchants!"

"That's right, especially those giants, the grain and grass in their hands are very sufficient, plus the grain and grass that the Qin State can squeeze out now, it is enough for this battle." Ziyou said.

"It's probably not easy to get them to raise donations!" Zhang Cang said that businessmen seek profits, and it is not a simple matter to let them bleed.

"Don't worry, these merchants are naturally willing to hand over the grain and grass, and they don't even have to pay us back." Ziyou said with a smile.

"Senior brother, say it quickly." Zhang Cang said impatiently.

"Fame. What do businessmen lack most? Status and reputation, although they have a lot of wealth in their hands, they cannot participate in the imperial examination, cannot enter the court as officials, cannot wear expensive silk, and are discriminated against wherever they go. So what they lack most is a reputation, and with fame they have the opportunity to get rid of business status and thus improve their status. Ziyou said.

"I see, you're going to use the widow Qing as bait and throw bait at these merchants. By donating grain to the country, they will gain great fame, not only will they get the name of a righteous merchant, but even by virtue of this good name, the merchant caravan under their command will also gain great good prestige, and the profits brought at that time will be greater than the donation of grain and grass. And when this matter reached the ears of the king, they were likely to become the second widow Qing, and they would become powerful in one fell swoop! Zhang Cang suddenly realized.

"That's right, Senior Brother can hold a banquet in Dingxiang Mansion and invite the merchants of Xianyang, even if they don't have food in their hands, they can quickly transport grain from all over the country to Daijun by relying on their network and caravan. Let them hand over the grain to Chen Ping, and then Chen Ping will be in charge of statistical planning, so that a lot of grain, grass and manpower can be saved. Ziyou said.

"Okay, junior brother, you have a lot of methods, why did I forget about Shangjia?" Zhang Cang said.

After getting the way, Zhang Cang sent people to send invitations to the big and small businessmen in Xianyang on the same day, inviting them to come to Dingxiang Building for a gathering. The merchants who received the invitation were naturally panicked, Zhang Cangnai was one of the nine secretaries of the Qin State, and he was in a high position, but it was not something that the most inferior businessmen could touch.

But Zhang Cang's invitation was delivered, and they had no way to refuse, so they could only go to the banquet.

After arriving at the banquet, these businessmen were still panicked at first, but after hearing Zhang Cang's intention, they all began to get excited, they were able to do business in Xianyang, their eyes and sense of smell were quite sensitive, and even if they saw through the interests behind them, they bid one after another.

A banquet directly turned into a fundraising meeting, where the giants bid higher than the other, and the small businessmen gathered to bid. After the banquet was over, Zhang Cang looked at the donation letter signed by these businessmen in front of him and was still a little distracted.

"It would be great if there was a chance to catch all these businessmen." Zhang Cang said in a low voice, and then Zhang Cang shook his head, businessmen are the blood of social mobility, if they are missing, the flow of goods in the world will almost be cut off, and the harm caused will be great at that time.
