The state of Qin is also very uncomfortable now. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Most of the elite divisions were sent to the southeast, intending to break through the coalition defense line in one fell swoop, destroy the Wuwei State first, and use this as a base to attack the Xia State in an all-out way.

Although it will not destroy the Xia State in a short time, it will take one-fifth of the current territory of the Xia Kingdom, force the Xia army to retreat to the Luoyanxia fortress, and then blockade it, hit his economy, and eat away at his armament.

In this way, the Xia Kingdom can only be partial to peace, and if the way out is blocked, it will gradually decline until it perishes.

This was also the last thing Zhang Xian wanted to see, so he would not let Qin achieve this goal no matter what.

The land route is cut off, the merchants can't get in, and they rely on digging old roots to maintain, and there is no way out for the country.

This is one of them.

What made Zhang Xian's heart ache was the territory on the periphery, which was bigger than a medium-sized vassal state, and the most important point was the loss of the Lijiang Golden Waterway, which hit him the hardest.

He has a strong naval army, but if both sides of the Li River are occupied by the Qin State, the naval army is strong, and it will not be able to enter the Li River, which is equivalent to cutting off the legs of the naval army, losing the advantage of the waterway, the merchants cannot enter, and the naval army will lose its advantage, and he will be in danger of being at the end of the road.

But fortunately, the northern nomadic vassal states invaded the northern frontier of the Qin State on a large scale, and the Cangyue State disrupted the eastern frontier, which made the Qin State a little anxious.

Although the chassis of the Qin State is very large, the population is also large, and the more people eat, the more food they eat, and food has always been in an important position.

Now the northern Xinjiang vassal states are also plundering grain, and it is about to survive the winter, and grain is also very important to the nomadic vassal states that are not good at farming.

Because Emperor Qin is now spending his energy in the southeast, there is only one elite in Wuyanghou in the north, and the rest are local county soldiers, and they can't bear the nomadic knights who are good at riding and archery.

Wuyanghou's performance during this period of time was ruthless and poisonous enough, and the people who killed the nomadic domain were also a little frightened, but in order for the clansmen to survive the winter in peace, they also fought hard.

Wuyang Hou is also unable to concentrate on dealing with the people of the nomadic domain, but at this time, it has always been a couple, and the Cangyue Kingdom, which has no quarrel with others, has been involved.

Not only did it occupy half of the land in Lingyang County and a small part of the land in Wuchang County, but it also crossed the Sanhe River to grab the population and food materials.

These two armies did not have many soldiers and horses to garrison, if it wasn't for the Cangyue Kingdom to kill them, this would be the safest place in the Qin State.

Backed by Qishan, there is only a very small Sushan State adjacent to it in the east, Su Shanguo said that he would not dare to provoke the Qin State, and the Qin State would not destroy him, he could be regarded as burning high incense.

The Cangyue Kingdom, which is separated by Qishan, has not yet taken the initiative to expand, although it also went out of Qishan to occupy a city some time ago, but the Qin army retreated as soon as it arrived, and it has not come out.

Who would have thought that this time he would go crazy and rob two counties, which caught Qin Guo off guard.

Wuyanghou was ordered to annihilate the invaders, but as soon as Wuyanghou came, the people withdrew across the Sanhe River to defend it, and Wuyanghou couldn't take the Cangyue National Army on the east bank of the Sanghe River for a while.

Even if Wuyanghou forcibly crosses the Sanhe River, people are shrinking and retreating, or even retreating to the country, you Wuyanghou also looks at it, although he is ruthless, but there is a powerful person in the Cangyue Kingdom, he does not dare to lead troops to kill it.

Besides, there were people and horses from the nomadic domain behind him, and he would come in as soon as he left, making him uncomfortable.

In this way, Wuchang County and Lingyang County, which were originally very rich, were tossed thousands of miles without people.

The loss of personnel and territory is not heartbroken by the Qin Emperor, the heartache is the grain, these two counties are the big granaries of the Qin State, most of the grain materials have been looted, not only the Qin State will have a grain shortage in the coming year, but also the grain and grass that are ready to be sent to the front after the expropriation are gone.

Emperor Qin knew that millions of soldiers ate horses and chewed, and the grain and grass materials needed were a huge and terrifying number, and if they didn't open the situation as soon as possible and raise food and grass materials on the spot, they wouldn't have to attack the coalition army, and they themselves would collapse because of lack of food.

So he sent an envoy again, with his stern wording and murderous decree to urge Wu Yuehou to enter the army.

"Spread the word again, for a month, and there will be no progress, let Wu Yuehou and Jinyang Hou come to see him. ”

When the envoy retired, Qin Guo added another word with a cold face.

Obviously, Emperor Qin couldn't bear the pressure anymore.

He sent a large army south, obviously suspicious of vindictiveness.

At the beginning, the courtiers did not explicitly object, after all, the last time Wuyang Hou lost his troops and lost his generals, and then the Marquis of Jinyang was also defeated, Li Beifeng was assassinated, and the millions of troops before and after the Qin State lost more than half, and finally Zhang Xian slaughtered him fiercely during the negotiation, which made the Qin State lose face.

Even if they have a revenge mentality to march south, the ministers can't say it, even if they oppose it, they also have an attitude of not supporting or opposing, that is, the mentality of not participating.

The army of millions can be regarded as the majority of the Qin State's armed forces.

If you succeed, you can't say it, drink to celebrate, pat Qin Huang's fart, and everyone will be happy.

But now that countless grains have been spent, the southern expeditionary army is stranded on the north bank of the Chen River, not advancing an inch, seeing that it is about to enter winter, and it is not suitable for the large army to fight.

So the ministers who had originally opposed began to write to the court.

Then some centrists can also chase the wind, and before the Qin Emperor committed the crime, there was a thick stack of advice every day, as long as it was opened, most of it was the matter of the Southern Expedition.

This can make Emperor Qin disgraced, but it is difficult to attack.

The most fatal thing is that the northern frontier was looted by the vassal states, but the empire seemed to be indifferent, leaving only Wuyang waiting there to block the east and kill the west, but it couldn't take care of the east and the west, and the empire did not send troops to reinforce.

This is a big criticism.

Emperor Qin originally thought that Wu Yuehou would lead millions of men and horses, and it would not be easy to sweep away several countries in the southeast, press Zhang Xian's forces back to Chu, slap him hard, and tame him.

Although Wu Yuehou has a good record in the northwest, the soldiers of the northwest came to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and in the face of Shuize, they were at a loss, and even the Chen River could not survive safely.

Even if you forcibly cross the river, it is difficult to move an inch in the face of the water around Poyang Lake.

Therefore, Wu Yuehou, who had rich experience in commanding large corps, did not take a rash move, and waited until the weather cleared and the water level dropped before he planned to march.

But this wait has been nearly two months, and so far, it is not a good time to march, so he has been urging several envoys of the Qin Emperor who have come one after another, and he has been holding his troops still.

However, he did not do nothing, but stockpiled a large number of tools and materials for crossing the river, and only waited for the time to cross the river and sweep the southeast in one fell swoop (according to the position of the Qin State, the Wuwei State and the Xia Kingdom are considered to be the southeast. ）。

"Master Hou, it is reported that another Holy Envoy has left the capital and is rushing here, and it is estimated that it will take less than ten days to arrive. ”

Wu Yuehou quietly reported to him.
