Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing and said, "Have you considered the cost of such an idea?"
It can be said that Xu Qing's idea is not complicated, and it is easy to imagine some modifications.
Why didn't Xin Honggao do this?
It's just because of the cost issue.
How many thunderbolts will be consumed to build an all-out siege for a month regardless of gains and losses?
These are all bought with money!
Although Zhou Guo has relatives like Mingyue, Zhou Guo is planning to conquer the Western Regions these two days and will not give you credit.
Because they are also in urgent need of money.
The amount of firearms they had this time could capture not only the entire Zhao Kingdom, but also half of the Zhao Kingdom, right?
Firearms have been poured out for two months or more regardless of the cost. The first line of defense is such a waste of money. Don't fight later.
Obviously, as a master, you don't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are. Xu Qing is only responsible for making suggestions and does not consider other things. However, as the top commander, Long Bing'er has to consider the cost.
Although the current Shuzhou has annexed Shezhao, its territory has more than doubled, and it has a lot of money, it cannot consume such a behemoth as Zhao, unless they withdraw their troops and accumulate them for another two years.
However, in the past two years, if you accumulate and others accumulate, it is obviously not the best choice. Soldiers are expensive and quick.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er who was worriedly calculating costs and gains and losses and said, "Don't you still have mine? My husband is rich! Isn't it just some thunderous costs? My husband has borne it for you."
Long Bing'er said angrily, "I don't want to keep spending your money, I want to rely on my own strength."
Xu Qing took Long Bing'er's two slightly cold hands and said, "I am your husband, why do you feel that your husband is not your strength?"
Long Bing'er said, "The military salary I borrowed from you last time has not been repaid yet. It is easy to borrow it well and repay it before borrowing again. How can I borrow another debt before repaying the previous one?"
Xu Qing took Long Bing'er into her arms and said, "Silly girl, what are you talking about with your husband about whether to borrow it or not? Is it difficult to borrow it again? This is how the plan is settled. My husband has a lot of money from you."
Long Bing'er was very moved when she saw Xu Qing waving his hand very boldly.
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er's moved expression and asked, "What? Are you moved by your husband?"
Long Bing'er said: "I heard Sister Su say that my husband... is very greedy for money..."
Xu Qing pulled Long Bing'er onto his lap and sat down. He reached out and touched Long Bing'er's pretty face and said, "My husband is more lustful."
But soon Xu Qing was stepped on by Long Bing'er who was sitting on his lap: "During the office hours, you are not allowed to talk lustfully while holding the commander in your arms."
Xu Qing suddenly showed bitterness on his face: "You won't even let me hug you?"
Long Bing'er shook her head and said, "I will give my husband a hug when I get home. It should be like going to the Yamen."
The plan was thus issued.
The accelerated speed of eight hundred miles quickly spread to the frontier troops.
Xin Honggao, who was in the commander's tent, was slightly startled when he saw the plan sent from Shuzhou City, and couldn't help but murmured: "The military advisor is really rich! Pouring firearms regardless of the cost? This is really a good strategy, that's the price.
Somewhat big.”
To put it bluntly, the cost is a bit expensive.
Of course, being expensive is not the problem of this plan, but their own problem.
There is no way, who makes them poor?
But it is very good to guard a military advisor who is extremely wealthy.
The State of Zhao could calculate Shuzhou's tax situation. Such a method of fighting would be very expensive. It would definitely be no problem to deceive Emperor Zhao, who had only read military science for two days.
Thinking of this, Xin Honggao ordered Zhao Huaiyi to follow the military advisor's plan and start hurling firearms at Zhao's border towns non-stop, including kerosene.
After Zhao Huaiyi heard Xin Honggao's order, he immediately went down to prepare. The commander was reliable!
When the order was given to the two firearms battalions, the overwhelming firearms soon began to bombard the city, and the soldiers also began to feint to attack, creating a scene of a fierce siege.
Li Hu was also surprised when he heard the commotion outside. He couldn't figure out what Xin Honggao wanted to do. Why did the intensity of the siege increase several times?
Do they want to forcefully gnaw away their city at all costs?
Li Hu made a desperate move this time. This was the only line of defense he set up for Zhao.
Li Hu knew that if Xin Honggao attacked the city forcefully, Li Hu would never be able to stop him because there were firearms on the opposite side.
But if you can't stop it, you can drag it down!
If Li Hu is defeated, Shuzhou's army will lose at least 80% and will be unable to fight anymore. In this way, his mission will be completed.
Li Hu believed that Xin Honggao did not dare to do this, because Xin Honggao had a big goal and could not attack it hard, and he would definitely think of strange tricks.
But judging from the current news, is Xin Honggao planning to make any surprise move?
Do you really plan to use human lives to attack the city?
Not so!
Not worth it either!
Zhao has a large population, and Li Hu's army of more than 100,000 will be gone if it is gone, and it will soon recover.
What is the population of the Shuzhou rebels?
Can they afford to lose so many troops?
Li Hu was thinking about Xin Honggao's motives here, and the two eunuchs who were supervising the army would record everything that happened at the border and send it to the palace.
Li Hu needs to analyze his motives, but they don't.
They only need to record what happened, and then send it to the palace for His Majesty to figure it out.
The siege lasted for a month, with firearms being poured out non-stop for a month. Li Hu lost weight several times in order to deploy his troops to defend the city.
The person on the other side is so disrespectful!
Is there such a risk of life in a war?
The city wall he spent half a year reinforcing was almost collapsed...
Are your firearms free of charge?!
Can't you save some money?
Li Hu's thoughts are also those of Xin Honggao. Xin Honggao also feels distressed when so many firearms are poured out every day.
But I can’t bear to let the child trap the wolf!
There is really no way.
It must be said that Li Hu was definitely an outstanding defender. Even if he bombed continuously for a month, he still had the city firmly in his hands.
A month later, the siege still continued, but the intensity was several times lower than the previous month.
This made Li Hu feel refreshed. The roar of firearms gradually decreased?
Could it be that the rebels’ firearms reserves are insufficient?!
Moreover, the momentum of the siege was not as strong as before. Instead, it became chaotic and chaotic. It seemed that the continuous siege had made the army on the opposite side tired and irritable.
Li Hu thought so.
However, Li Hu soon felt that something was wrong. The opponent had not achieved any results so far, and it was absolutely impossible for them to waste strategic materials like this.
This is completely an act of taking advantage of someone regardless of the cost!
Xin Honggao is not taken advantage of!
At this time, Li Hu couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. He could only defend but not attack. No matter how weak the opponent was, he would not dare to fight back.
If His Majesty feels that the Shuzhou army is exhausted, will he want to capture Shuzhou?
Is Shuzhou deliberately showing off to its enemies?
No, no!
The small amount of tax revenue in Shuzhou cannot withstand such squandering. The economic foundation determines the superstructure. From a logical level, it is correct to think so, but from an economic level, it is contradictory and even cannot withstand scrutiny.
But there is a book in Qingxue Study that says it well: Eliminate all impossibilities, and what remains is incredible and the truth...
