Chapter 76 (1/2)
”Meng Ao, where is Wang Jian?”
”The end will be there!”
”General Wang Jian, general Meng Ao, order you two to lead 100000 battle wearing armour soldiers and 100000 gold fire cavalry to build barracks outside the city of Xianyang on the spot.”
”Gu Hui asked Wei Ran, the prime minister, to allocate military grain for you for one month, and then he would solve the problem of grain and grass for you after a month.”
At this time, Ying Ji felt a bit of a headache. Just when he got the two high-level legions calling for tiger talismans, Ying Ji felt that he was in a bad luck.
But at this time, Ying Ji found that he had 200000 soldiers in his hand. Although he felt very excited, Ying Ji found that the 200000 army had to eat. How to solve the problem of food and grass?
Before, on the way back to Xianyang, Ying Ji led a 200000 army, and asked the county magistrate to spare some grain for each county.
On the way back to Xianyang, there are so many counties that can barely meet the temporary needs of the 200000 army.
However, it is impossible to let the people of the state of Qin endlessly bear the grain and forage of the 200000 army!
Moreover, the people of the Qin state near Xianyang have been in dire straits in the process of being injured by the Chu army in these years.
At the moment, the people around Xianyang, not to mention the 200000 army, means that the 20000 army have no spare power to support. Therefore, the problem of grain and grass has become a headache for Ying Ji.
At present, all the grain in Xianyang can only support all the troops of Qin state. It is a huge burden to increase the grain demand of 200000 soldiers.
In fact, Ying Ji had another way in mind, which was to send a message directly to general simacuo, who was in charge of the rich land of Bashu, to transport grain and grass from Bashu to Xianyang.
However, this idea was rejected by Ying Ji as soon as it appeared. Bashu was more than a thousand miles away from the center of Qin state.
If you want to transport grain and grass from Bashu to Xianyang, I'm afraid it is far from enough to hydrolyze your thirst.
Now it seems that the only way to solve the problem is to meet the grain and forage needs of the 200000 soldiers and soldiers in the hundred battles.
As the world's king of Qin, Ying Ji thought of it.
”No!”
The two men said with their fists together. They also understood the arrangement of the young master. Now it seems that there are 200000 soldiers and soldiers in the golden fire cavalry and hundred battles armored soldiers. It is not only the problem of food and grass that needs to be solved urgently.
Moreover, there is no way for the 200000 army to enter Xianyang, because it is impossible for Xianyang city to accommodate the 200000 army.
Now it seems that encampment outside the city of Xianyang is the only way.
”The prime minister, the golden fire cavalry and the hundred thousand soldiers wearing armour in the hundred battles will have to rely on the Prime Minister for the grain and forage for a month.”
”Please rest assured that although the state of Qin is now in a difficult situation, the grain and grass that supports the 200000 army in January can still be taken out. You don't need to worry about it.”
