People are not as good as heaven, Li Mu made a mistake this time.

Li Mu asked to withdraw his troops, but Qin Wangzheng rejected Li Mu's request, and he very decisively ordered Li Mu to ignore the consumption of grain and grass, and to stay there for as long as he wanted. Even if he was stationed for a whole year, he could supply the army with food and grass.

Qin Wangzheng ordered that Southern Qin no longer needed to transport grain and grass to Xianyang, and directly supplied the needs of Li Mu's army. During the disaster relief, only the grain originally accumulated by the Qin State was used.

Li Mu played, the army couldn't eat so much grain and grass, only took a part, and the rest was still transported to Xianyang.

However, within a few years of Qin's succession, Qin Wangzheng fought again and again after succeeding to the throne, and when Qin was in a disaster, there was still a shortage of relief food.

So Zhang Liang took advantage of the anger of the victims to sweep away many old nobles and bad riches in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and seized a lot of hoarded grain and grass...... and the reduction of the number and anger of the victims to get through this gap period.

When the grain from Shu arrived, other places in Qin that had not suffered from disasters had a bumper harvest, making up for the lack of relief food, and Qin survived the difficulty safely.

Li Mu's army stationed in the upper reaches of Huaishui also had no problems with grain and grass. And the Qin State was quite panicked because of the floods, Li Mu's army was hidden under the floods and torrential rains, not counting the people, a whole 100,000 people practiced in the upper reaches of the Huaishui, occasionally helping to control the water and farming, but it did not attract the attention of the Chu State at all.

During this period, the door also had Zhang Liang's strategy.

After Zhang Liang became an internal official, he came to Southern Qin with a high-profile edict from the King of Qin, and mobilized the Southern Qin army to go north to fight the flood, confusing the sight of the Chu people.

After learning that Chu Wangqi and Xiang Yan had finally reconciled and moved the capital to Xiangcheng, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally arrived.

Fortunately, Zheng'er is powerful. Otherwise, he would have to withdraw his troops first because of the problem of grain and grass, and return in vain, not to mention spending so much money and food in vain, and he would also startle the snake.

When he learned that the king of Chu had moved the capital, Li Mu was in a good mood.

Although Xiang Cheng is strong, it is still inferior to Chen Du. A capital city must need special planning and renovation in order to accommodate so many nobles. The specifications of Xiangcheng are not the national capital, and the king of Chu moved the capital in a hurry, and the city defense will definitely be chaotic.

Although Chu Wangqi is not stupid, he does not have much experience in governing the country after all. The court of Chu was originally a minister who was in a high position and could control the overall situation, but since Li Yuan took power, the Chu State has been internally stumbling many times, and it has almost been cleaned up. Coupled with their fear of the Qin State and their desire to escape to the safest place, no one realized the problem.

"General, we have eaten more than half a year's food in vain, can we finally fight?" Meng Tian's tone carried a hint of grievance.

When the Qin State suffered the flood of the Yellow River, they ate most of the grain and grass in vain, and almost did nothing, and Meng Tian began to feel guilty in his heart.

Not only Meng Tian, but also Qin Bing's mood.

Although it is good to eat food for nothing, the general has no choice but to let people preach in the army how difficult it is for the Qin State to be now, and how difficult it is for the King of Qin to wait for the fighters to eat and drink for nothing in order to protect their group of people.

Most of the generals who led the troops were veterans who had followed Li Mu for nearly 20 years. When Qin Wangzheng was in Southern Chu, he played in Li Mu's army many times, and also pursued Xiang Yan's army with Li Mu. Most of them had seen Qin Wangzheng when he was a child.

Although Qin Wangzheng has grown up now, in their impressions, Qin Wangzheng is still that chubby child, a little boy full of energy.

Although this is very undeserved, Qin Wangzheng was too down-to-earth when he followed Zhu Xiang and Li Mu, and they inadvertently regarded Qin Wangzheng as their own juniors.

They watched the fat prince become a spirited prince, and the prince left them again, went to Xianyang, and became the prince of Qin again.

It was not easy for such an older child to become the king of Qin, and their group of uncles and uncles not only failed to do anything for the child who watched him grow up, but dragged him back. The veterans who followed Li Mu felt very uncomfortable.

Why is Chu Guo moving so slowly? Why is it that if God doesn't do a good job, the Yellow River will be flooded?

Remembering that before the death of the first king, because of many years of natural disasters and famines, the pace of unifying the world was interrupted, and they felt even more uncomfortable in their hearts, and they couldn't help but curse the thief for not doing a good job.

Now that they can finally pull out the camp and go to battle, the depression they have held back for more than half a year has formed a morale like a substance, and Li Mu has even been exempted from pre-war mobilization.

Li Mu saw that the effect was very good, and let people promote Qin Wangzheng's sensible and well-behaved when he was a child, focusing on describing Qin Wangzheng's appearance when he mingled with the generals when he was in the army, and he didn't care that he was noble, and even ordinary old soldiers would affectionately shout "old man".

Qin Wangzheng is a good boy. If it were replaced by other Qin kings, he would definitely be dissatisfied with Wu Chengjun's decision-making mistakes and dissatisfied with their waste of military rations. But Qin Wangzheng was well aware of their plight and tightened his belt to support them.

The Qin State was in difficulty, not only to provide disaster relief, but also to provide them with food and grass. Qin Wangzheng changed from three meals a day to only one meal, and even his chubby face was hungry and thin.

Can they not swear allegiance to the king?

Kill!

……

"Huh?" Qin Wangzheng broke the work, "This is the teacher's idea?!" ”

Zhang Liang was expressionless: "Yes." ”

Qin Wangzheng's face was full of suspicion: "The teacher is very cautious, even if he knows that the widow will not be angry with him, he will never take the initiative to introduce the widow into his military strategy." ”

Zhang Liang said expressionlessly: "Wu Chengjun has no choice but to do it. ”

Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath and slapped the table: "It's definitely your strategy!" Even if the teacher takes everything on himself, the widow knows the teacher very well, and every time he blames others for their faults, he will talk more! ”

The teacher loves to carry the blame for his uncle. But he didn't realize that it was really his responsibility, and he said very little, basically acquiescing; But once you take the blame, there will be more words, and the words will be more impassioned and convincing.

This is the "one or two tips for distinguishing Li Mu's lies" that Zeng's father secretly taught Qin Wangzheng, and Qin Wangzheng summarized after many years of time.

Now the teacher explains in detail why he did what he did in the book, and it was all his idea. That must be taking the blame for someone else!

If the uncle is not with the teacher, then there is only one suspect! That is Zhang Liang, who often personally escorts grain and grass to the teacher's army!

Zhang Liangxian continued to deny it. After denying it to no avail a few times, his "expressionless" disappeared, and he said angrily: "What is this called a mistake?" Is this wrong? Isn't this for King Qin, you're making a name for yourself? You see that the morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, and they are all willing to die for the fat Dudu Qin Wangzheng, aren't you moved? ”

"Touched fart! When has the widow ever gained weight? Qin Wangzheng scolded, "The widow trampled you under his feet when he saw you for the first time!" ”

A trace of annoyance appeared on Zhang Liang's face: "You didn't step on it, you just scared me with a sword!" Zhu Xianggong and Mrs. Wu often say that you are fat! The teacher also said that you were fat! Veterans in the army often mention that you used to be fat, fat! ”

King Qin said: "The widow is rich!" ”

Zhang Liang: "Rich fat man!" ”

Qin Wangzheng sneered: "You admit that you deliberately smeared the widow?" ”

Zhang Liang also sneered: "The generals and soldiers of Wu Chengjun's army all praise King Qin and are willing to die for King Qin, how can this be called smear?" This is to promote the reputation of King Qin. ”

Foolproof!

But Zhang Liang did deliberately "disgust" King Qin.

It's not that he has nothing to do, it's that King Qin humiliated him in advance.

After Zhang Liang arrived in Xianyang, Qin Wangzheng trusted him very much, adopted his suggestions, let him rest assured to implement the plan, and gave him a lot of power.

When Zhang Liang succeeded, Qin Wangzheng not only overrode public opinion and made the young Zhang Liang an internal official, but also gave Zhang Liang the position of the commander of the Che Prefecture, in charge of the Qin king's travel, and could enter and leave the court freely.

Being in charge of King Qin's travel and driving is equivalent to mastering King Qin's whereabouts. This position cannot be given by non-confidants.

Zhang Liang was originally quite ironing in his heart.

Although Qin Wangzheng has a bad mouth and a bad personality, as a king, he treats his courtiers quite well.

But after that, Qin Wangzheng and Zhang Liang made a joke that he thought was funny: "Zhang Qing, the widow was originally going to use Zhao Gao as the commander of the CRRC. ”

Zhang Liang: "? ”

Zhang Liang was first thrown to Zhu Xiang's side by Han Fei, and was urged by Zhu Xiang many times before coming to Xianyang. Zhu Xiang muttered for a long time when Zhao Gao was killed, and Zhang Liang naturally knew who Zhao Gao was.

Palace slaves, courtiers, and treacherous villains.

Yingzheng! What do you mean?! You take me higher than Zhao?! You humiliate me!!

Seeing that Zhang Liang's face had changed greatly, King Qin Zheng added: "The widow was lame at that time, and he trusted Zhao Gao very much, thinking that the widow promoted Zhao Gao from the palace slave to the doctor of the court, and this kindness would definitely make Zhao Gao's liver and brain ruined." Who knew that Zhao Gao had failed the widow. It's still Zhang Qing, the widow scared you to cry when he saw you for the first time, and put you in prison, but you are still loyal to the widow. ”

Handle, shake.

"Zhang Qing, you are the widow's CRRC government order!"

Sincere eyes!

Zhang Liang: "...... Should I be impressed? ”

Qin Wangzheng laughed.

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth: "Yingzheng!" ”

Qin Wangzheng laughed: "Zhang Liang, how can you call the king by his name, this is a great crime of disobedience!" Hahaha! ”

After the joke, Qin Wangzheng walked away, leaving Zhang Liang with a lot of work, not worrying that Zhang Liang would be too angry and slack off.

Zhang Liang remembered this revenge in a small notebook and decided to take revenge immediately.

So he adjusted his plan and changed the promotion of King Qin's wisdom and martial arts to the promotion of King Qin's popularity as a cute little chubby.

It's all the same anyway, isn't it?

Seeing Qin Wangzheng's ugly face, Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows.

Take back a city!

"Hmph." Qin Wangzheng looked at Zhang Liang's smug appearance, although he snorted coldly, he was not really angry.

In order to boost morale, let alone preach that he used to be a likable Ying Xiaopang, even if he is asked to go to the army to have a relationship with the front-line soldiers, and then shout a few "old man", he doesn't care.

Zhang Liang's strategy is actually better than the strategy prepared before.

Although his strategy could also improve morale before, the King of Qin was high, and for most soldiers, "loyal monarch" was a very ethereal and nihilistic concept.

However, the specific "loyal monarch" to a "young master who was watched by everyone to grow up" strengthened the army's loyalty to the individual "Yingzheng", rather than to the "King of Qin".

This is also what Li Mu has been doing before.

He took the little fat dun's hand to inspect the army, and told the lieutenant general and soldier that this child is your "monarch", and all orders in the army must be stamped and agreed by the little chubby dun before he can carry it out.

During the Warring States period, the army was often reduced to the "private army" of the generals, and the loyalty to the generals was greater than the loyalty to the monarch.

With the consent of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Renwen of Qin and Prince Chu of Qin, Li Mu has always emphasized in his army that Ying Xiaozheng is the real "main general" of the army, and he is the "butler".

This is another guarantee for the succession of Ying Xiaozheng to the throne of the three generations of Qin kings.

King Qin was suspicious, and the worst they had planned was that Ying Xiaozheng would not have time to come back to succeed him. Then Li Mu's private army can at least let Ying Xiaozheng control Southern Qin, and then compete for the throne.

Originally, after Ying Xiaozheng became the king of Qin, this kind of "army construction" was useless.

Zhang Liang reused it, emphasizing the dominance of "Ying Zheng" over the Southern Qin army.

After Ying Zheng left Southern Qin, Southern Qin was reduced from a "center" to a "remote". Therefore, Zhu Xiang and Xue Ji must leave at least one person in Southern Qin in order to reduce the gap in the hearts of many scholars and generals in Southern Qin.

Zhang Liang believes that even if the king of Qin is not in Southern Qin, he can tell the people of Southern Qin that "Ying Zheng" is still your master, and you are still closer to "Ying Zheng".

Qin Wangzheng is the king of Qin, and "Yingzheng" is your king. You are not the same as the Qin people in other places.

For example, the military. The armies in other places were those of the King of Qin, who obeyed the orders of the generals. However, the army of Southern Qin was closer to the private soldiers of "Ying Zheng" from the beginning, and they accompanied Ying Zheng from a small fat dun to a heroic young Qin king, and they were the most trusted army of "Ying Zheng".

With this recognition, the Southern Qin army will not only be able to boost morale in this war, but will also be loyal to the "master Yingzheng" in the future. Even if Southern Qin is remote, they will never betray.

Li Mu originally thought that Zhang Liang's plan was simply nonsense.

What kind of win, little and chubby, have you heard too much of Zhu Xiang's nonsense? Believe it or not, Zheng'er heard this, although he won't punish you on official business, but he will definitely chase you with a sword and cut you, and beat you so much that you can't get up for a month?

After Zhang Liang explained, Li Mu was convinced.

Nanqin is too far from Xianyang. When he guarded Southern Qin, he was able to ensure that Southern Qin was under the control of Qin Wangzheng. But what about after him? In the future, will the generals who guard Southern Qin take advantage of the remoteness of Southern Qin to stand on their own?
