Chapter 456: It is my duty to recast the glory of Great Chu
Great Qin Guanzhong, with Qin Feng's impassioned speech, finally started to move.
Like a war machine, it rumbles into action.
Countless brave Guanzhong disciples threw themselves into the Lantian camp.
The wife bids farewell to her husband, and the mother bids farewell to her son.
Although he was reluctant to give up, he became more determined.
This is a national war! A war that concerns the future destiny of the Qin Dynasty and the fate of all people in the world!
Failure in this battle will result in the death of one's body and the destruction of one's clan, and the land of China will once again fall into endless melee.
This victory will usher in a truly prosperous era!
What excites Qin Feng the most is that the twelve million people of Qin share the same hatred!
Instead of being so disappointed with Hu Hai and Zhao Gao like in his previous life, he gave up Da Qin to Liu Bang!
Xiao He was getting more and more tired. As long as he stood in one place for a while, he seemed to be able to fall asleep.
Ying Zheng said somewhat unbearably:
"Xiao He is such a capable minister and official, he cannot be so wasted!
Let him rest soon, there are so many civil and military personnel in the dynasty, there can always be someone to take over for a while."
Qin Feng nodded with emotion and reached out to poke Xiao He awake.
Xiao He opened his bloodshot eyes and quickly said:
"I've met your Majesty, I've met the Prime Minister."
Qin Feng nodded and said warmly:
"Your Majesty sympathizes with your hard work during this period. Please go home and rest later."
Xiao He stared at the dark circles under his eyes, smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"The men of the Qin Dynasty were either fighting on the front lines or transporting grain and grass in the rear areas day and night.
I just deal with some government affairs, which is not considered hard work."
Seeing that Qin Feng wanted to persuade him again, Xiao He quickly said:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister.
Food and fodder for the 500,000-strong army have been raised, enough to last for a year.
Millions of stones of food and grass from Shuzhong, Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and even Baiyue have all been put in place.
Even when Baiyue Shou general was detouring from the south to the center of Shu, he destroyed a country called Yelang and expanded the territory of Qin..."
When Ying Zheng heard about the expansion of territory, he immediately became interested and said curiously:
"Yelang? After all, it was a country, but it was destroyed so easily?"
Xiao He was a little dumbfounded:
"It is said to be a country, but in fact it has a population of only a few hundred thousand, and its combat power is extremely poor.
Originally they just wanted to use the road to pass, but it turned out that their king was extremely conceited.
Not only did he refuse to give in, he even asked arrogantly, who is greater, Yelang or Daqin?
The time it took to explain it was enough to kill him twice.
Therefore, the guard killed him directly, and also obtained one hundred thousand stones of food and grass."
Such a small episode made the atmosphere more harmonious.
Ying Zheng naturally knows the importance of this battle.
With the operation of the war machine, the prosperity of Shanglinyuan in the past is no longer there, and everyone is serving the war.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but worry a little:
"The Xiongnu has an army of one hundred thousand, Zhang Han has an army of one hundred thousand, Han Xin has an army of one hundred thousand, and I command an army of two hundred thousand.
With an army of half a million soldiers going out to fight, will the food and grass raised cause the people to be unable to have enough food and clothing?"
Xiao He smiled casually, shook his head slightly and said:
“Your Majesty, don’t worry, the biggest change in our Daqin’s reforms in recent years is the extremely abundant supply of food and grass!
If the time comes when the people are really hungry, the food and fodder for the army of half a million people will be enough to sustain them for three years!
Moreover, the increase in the output of Guanzhong, Shuzhong, and Hanzhong, especially Baiyue’s three crops of grain a year, can definitely continue to supply it!”
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng felt relieved a lot.
In order to destroy Chu, Wang Jian's 600,000-strong army was dispatched.
Almost all Da Qin’s savings over the past few decades were consumed.
Just like the Battle of Changping, it was not just Zhao Guo's vitality that was seriously injured.
Da Qin was actually not seriously injured, but the glory of the victor covered up the pain behind it.
Just after Xiao He finished his report, Zhang Liang also came over yawning.
Compared with Xiao He's raising military rations, these days he arranged for large armies to go on expeditions, recruited garrison troops to garrison at various dangerous checkpoints, and conducted public security inspections.
Zhang Liang was even more tired.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but frown slightly and said:
"Qin Feng, let them all take a rest. There are people in the Taiwei Mansion who can bear the burden."
Unexpectedly, compared to his tolerance towards Xiao He, Qin Feng looked at Zhang Liang, curled his lips and whispered:
"This piece of shit Zhang Liang is just a big beast! Just use it to your death!"
He is not as sincere as Xiao He, maybe he is just pretending now!
He is just an old man!"
Just when Ying Zheng was a little suspicious, Zhang Liang yawned and muttered in his heart.
'His Majesty and the dog Qin Feng just asked Xiao He to rest. Why didn't you say anything to me now?'
‘You two should be polite! As long as you are polite, I will definitely go back and really rest!
Qin Feng, you’re an idiot!’
Unfortunately, he yawned for a long time and no one paid attention to him.
He could only step forward angrily, cupped his hands casually, and said:
"Your Majesty, the arrangements for the expedition of the 500,000-strong army have been completed, and the accompanying armor, weapons, pack horses, and war horses have all been prepared.
A total of 380,000 garrison soldiers have been recruited this time, and they have been sent to the Yellow River Ferry, Wuguan, Hangu Pass, Xi and other places to strictly garrison.
An additional 130,000 garrison soldiers were recruited and gathered at Lantian Camp to provide support at any time."
The action of a million-strong army! If this had been the case in the old Qin Dynasty, they would have shed their skin even if they didn't die!
Even if time goes by, it is not impossible to provoke a popular uprising.
But for Daqin, which now has a population of 12 million, it is not a big burden in a short period of time.
After so many years of recuperation, the original eight million Qin people have grown by half!
This is the reason why Ying Zheng and Qin Feng dare to destroy the Six Kingdoms again!
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded heavily.
He looked towards the east from a distance and said majestically:
"I'm going on an expedition!"
Qin Feng beeped in a low voice:
"Obviously it was all under my command...and you are taking credit...Ouch! Your Majesty, why are you whipping me?"
"Did you secretly scold me again?"
"Conscience of heaven and earth! I swear on Zhang Liang's life, there is absolutely no such thing!"
...
Zhou Zhang, courtesy name Wen, once served Xiang Yan and Lord Chun Shen of Chu, and claimed to be a famous general who was victorious in every battle.
As for whether anyone believes it, I don't know.
Anyway, Da Chu was wiped out, and the rich and powerful families ran away and were caught by Qin Feng. There was almost no one left who could prove his identity.
But King Chen believed it! That’s enough!
In line with the principle of employing people without suspicion and using people who are suspicious.
Chen Sheng named him the General of the Western Conquest, and led his army to sweep through Han and Wei. When they arrived outside Hangu Pass, there were thousands of chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers!
For a moment, Zhou Wen was in high spirits, feeling that Bao Qin was nothing more than that!
If the King of Chu had made himself the Shangzhu Kingdom back then, he would have captured Ying Zheng alive and beheaded Qin Feng. How could he have reached this point now?
In this way, Hangu Pass is right in front of him, and Zhou Wen must consider whether this is his only chance in this life.
