Chapter 241: The Dilemma of the State of Chu, Building a Canal
Chu.
The court was overcast, and the atmosphere was particularly depressing.
Just now,
News came from the front again, and the grain and grass were in an emergency.
The question is,
Now there is not much surplus grain in the grain depot of Chu State.
And it is already the result of the Chu State returning from the front line many times.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive until now.
Initially
When the two sides of Qin and Chu had just confronted each other.
The state of Chu displayed an army of 500,000 on the front line.
But now,
After many draws, only 350,000 horses remained.
No way
The state of Chu simply could not support the consumption of such a huge number of troops.
People eat and feed horses every day, and logistics simply can't afford it.
Even, because of the aggressiveness of the Qin State.
In the face of Qi's annexation of Wu and Yue, the state of Chu could not do any effective measures at all.
Now
In addition to facing the pressure of 600,000 Qin troops in front, the rear of Chu State, that is, the land of Wu Yue, there are 200,000 Qi troops on their backs.
In this situation,
Especially Han Lin stayed in Jinling all the time and did not leave, although he knew that Han Lin was addicted to the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River, as long as Han Lin did not leave for a day, the hanging heart of Chu State would not be able to fall.
The main hall of the Royal Palace.
Chu Yuyi, the empress sitting on the dragon chair, with her slender and graceful five fingers, pinched the armrests on the dragon chair.
The gloomy expression on her face interprets her current mood.
Seeing that above the court, the civil and military officials were speechless, and Chu Yuyi said coldly: "How long can the current grain storage of the Chu State last?" ”
Chu State Dasi Nong stubbornly said: "Back to Your Majesty, if you reduce the daily consumption of grain and grass for the soldiers, it can support it for half a year at most." ”
Chu Yuyi leaned back and leaned back in his chair.
His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something.
That delicate and beautiful face is now full of sadness.
Half an hour later,
Chu Yuyi asked, "What if you don't cut it?" ”
Da Si Nong gritted his teeth and said, "Three months at most!" ”
Chu Yuyi continued to ask: "Can we buy it from the surrounding countries?" ”
Ling Yin Sun Shuao stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, in many small countries bordering the Chu State, even if they buy grain and grass, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket. ”
"As for the Song State and Zheng Guo, who have a heritage, all the grain stocks have been bought by the Qi State as early as last year."
"Wu and Yue have long been annexed by the Qi State, if you want to meet the consumption of the front line of the army, I am afraid that the only way to buy grain and grass from the Qi State is to buy grain and grass."
"The problem is that Qi is far away from the front line of the battlefield, and even if the grain is transported in the past, there is no one in ten, which is really ......"
In the future,
Sun Shuao did not continue.
During the more than two years of confrontation between Qin and Chu, the consumption of the Chu State was too great.
It's not just the grain depot that has been hollowed out.
The same is true for the treasury.
As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold.
When fighting a war, it is logistics that is fought.
Obviously,
The current state of Chu cannot support it at all, and the consumption of the front line.
Even if he bought grain and grass from Qi State, it was just a few more days.
If the fundamental problem cannot be solved, the result will be the same in the end.
Chu Yuyi didn't understand what Sun Shuao meant.
The point is
Now the Qin State is strong.
There is no way to engage the state of Chu.
can only be spent there with the Qin State.
In fact, this is the Yang plot of the Qin State, and the whole country will send 600,000 troops to confront you.
If you don't come, then my army of 600,000 will push it over.
But if you come with a large army, I will push it flat when the number of people is small.
If there are more people, then we will spend it here.
Anyway, my Qin country has a great cause, and I am not afraid of consuming it with you.
In the face of such a situation,
Chu Yuyi's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one has any solution?" ”
"Or are you just waiting for the defeat of the army of Chu State, can you change the court?"
Uncle Sun Ao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty! ”
"The minister has a plan, but there is a great risk in it, and if you are not careful, the state of Chu will be in danger of losing the country."
Chu Yuyi said lightly: "You say." ”
Sun Shuao opened his mouth and said: "The Qin State is currently trying to use the Yang strategy to drag down the Chu State, for the sake of the future, since they choose to strengthen the wall, then why can't we take the initiative to fight!" ”
"Now that our army has surplus food, it can still hold out for three months, since this is the case, it is better to use the strength of the country, also gather the country's soldiers and horses, and send out to find flaws."
"It's just...... If our army wins, it is easy to say, but once our army is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
After listening to Sun Shuao's narration,
Chu Yuyi's expression was solemn, and his heart fell into a tangle.
After all, this kind of thing has too much to do with it.
An accident,
The thousand-year-old foundation of the Chu State will perish in its own hands.
.......
Unlike Chu Yuyi, who has been sleepless all night every day for more than two years, always worrying about the war on the front line.
Compared with
Han Lin's life is to be more moisturized and more moisturized.
During this time in Jinling,
Han Lin can be said to have enjoyed the Jiangnan women.
middle
A huge beauty pageant was held.
All the unmarried beautiful women of the right age were taken by Han Lin to the luxury boat to enjoy the scenery of the Qinhuai River together.
merely
This kind of confused life has to draw a comma for the time being.
Because yesterday, news came from Linzi.
After three years of construction, the Golden Agenet Terrace is completed!
After hearing the news,
Han Lin can't wait to return to Linzi to experience the happiness of Golden Bird Terrace.
But
Before leaving,
Han Lin was reluctant to give up his luxury ship.
After struggling for half an hour,
Han Lin waved his hand on the map of Qi Kingdom.
Ordered directly,
Gather the people to build a canal!
From Jicheng in the north, Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south, and Linzi in the middle.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the canal that Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to build.
Right now
Han Lin also has to dig one out.
I can transport my painting boat back to Linzi.
As soon as the edict came out,
The entire Qi country was in an uproar.
After all, such a huge project is unprecedented.
From Jicheng to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the north and south are two or three thousand miles apart.
Although there are many rivers in the middle, if you want to rely on manpower to complete such a huge siege, how much manpower will be used and how much food will be consumed?
But for these,
Han Lin didn't care at all.
I don't have much else in Qi country, but there are many people and money.
If there are not enough locals in Qi country, then recruit from neighboring countries.
Anyway, it's not that you don't get paid for your work.
This kind of thing,
I don't know how many people are rushing to do it.
