Chapter 184 184

For the Qin State, which did not have much grain and grass, most of the grain and grass went to the hands of the Wei State, which was another fatal blow.

For the current Qin State, their main thing to do now is to find a way to prevent the Qin people from starving to death because of lack of food......

For this campaign, the Qin State increased the grain tax collected in the country, and the usual harvest was 10%, but this time it was 40%, which was completely quadrupled.

For Wei, this battle was very good, seizing the important place of Qin, Hexi, and receiving 10 million war indemnities, and more importantly, after defeating Qin in Hexi, he seized a lot of grain and grass from Qin.

Qin not only has to find a way to make people eat food, but also has to find a way to enrich the treasury, 20 million war indemnities, so that Qin's treasury is empty, in order to pay the war reparations, Qin also has to go to the homes of the people below to collect money.

Although the Qin State is called Qiang Qin, because the core land is not very good, most of the grain and grass harvest comes from the Bashu region, and the military strength is only strong in the simple people's style, because the people's customs are strong, and the soldiers are also very strong when they fight

Qin is a military power, but it is also a thoroughly poor country, and the Battle of Hexi and the Battle of Xianyang also made Qin's proud military destruction, the military depends on the population, relying on money, Qin has no money, lost half of the population, and its military strength has been greatly weakened.

For the current Qin State, there is no power to create a war at all, and it will take at least ten years to recover!

It can be said that in the next ten years, the Qin State can only nest in this place, simply farming, and has no power to enter the Central Plains and compete for hegemony!

And learning of the defeat of the Qin State was not good news for the Qi State......

After Wu Qi returned to Daliang, after recuperating for a week, he set out from Daliang and marched to Zhaodi, preparing to fight with the Qi State!

After learning the news that Wu Qi was coming to Zhaodi, Qi Xiaobai looked at everyone: "Are we just sitting here and waiting to die?" ”

In these days, the Qi State is in a dilemma, this attack is not a way, and retreat is not a way, outside Zhongshan City, it has fallen into a stalemate.

Wu Zixu looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "In my opinion, when Wu Qi has not completely entered the Zhao land, we will have a decisive battle with Lian Po and defeat Lian Po, otherwise when Wu rises, it will be even more unfavorable for us!" ”

Kuang Zhang on the side also said: "What General Wu said is very reasonable, if it goes on like this, it is not good for my Qi country, although Wu Qi only brought 50,000 people, but those 50,000 people are the elite people who defeated the Qin State, which should not be underestimated!" ”

Qi Xiaobai nodded, he also knew that he could only fight at this time, and the sooner he fought, the better, after all, now the initiative was in his hands, and when Wu Qi completely entered Zhao Di, then the initiative would not be in his Qi Xiaobai's hands, but in Wu Qi's hands.

Qi Xiaobai looked at the generals: "This battle, how to fight?" ”

"Let General Tian Dan defend Handan, reject the army of Le Yang, we march to Lian Po, and fight with Lian Po head-on, although the other side has crossbows, crossbows and other powerful weapons, but our Qi army has a samurai legion!" Wu Zixu said to Qi Xiaobai.

At this time, it can only rely on the samurai legion to exert its prestige, although Lian Po relies on Zhongshan City, but its army and fortifications are outside, it can be said that this is a field battle, and the samurai legion is best at field warfare!

Qi Xiaobai looked at Wang Heng: "Is the general sure?" ”

"Lian Po is old, and I'm still young, how can an old man beat me as a young talent?" After Wang Heng's words were finished, everyone laughed, and Qi Xiaobai looked at Wang Heng: "Okay, as long as this battle is over, I will make you a general!" ”

Although Wang Heng is the commander of the samurai legion, he is not a general, he has always been a lieutenant general, in order to inspire Wang Heng, Qi Xiaobai promised Wang Heng that as long as this battle is over, then Wang Heng will be crowned a general!

In fact, after the Battle of Linyi, Qi Xiaobai wanted to make Wang Heng a general!

"Thank you, Duke Huan!" Wang Heng knelt down and said.

Wang Heng was grateful to Qi Xiaobai from the bottom of his heart at this time, Qi Xiaobai can be said to have the grace of knowledge and reinvention to him, when he was defeated by Qi Xiaobai and imprisoned in Qi State Prison, Qi Xiaobai did not kill him, but let him go out of the mountain again, let him train his troops, and gave him the position of lieutenant general.

Qi Xiaobai trusted him very much, let his leader participate in the battle of Linyi, and made him the main force in the battle of Linyi, it can be said that Qi Xiaobai has the grace of reinvention and the grace of knowledge to Wang Heng, and it has given Wang Heng a very good platform!

For a general like Wang Heng, who was defeated in the first battle, the future is basically not bright, after all, no country is willing to appoint a person who was defeated in the first battle, or a person who let his country perish......

But Qi Xiaobai chose to use him......

As for Wang Heng, who is a Yue person, he doesn't have much hatred for Qi Xiaobai after destroying the Yue Kingdom, after all, Qi Xiaobai did a very good job of the policy after occupying the Yue Kingdom, and Qi Xiaobai did not kill the Yue clan.

Wu Zixu looked at Wang Heng: "Tomorrow night, the general will launch a surprise attack and attack Lian Po's position!" ”

Wang Heng nodded: "I understand!" ”

"At the moment when General Wang Heng broke through the position, our Qi army will attack in a big way, and we will definitely be able to defeat Lian Po!" Wu Zixu said to Qi Xiaobai.

The focus of this battle is on Wang Heng, as long as Wang Heng can break through the defense, then it is possible to win, if he can't break through the defense, then the Qi State will have large-scale losses.

Another point is that Tian Dan must contain Leyang, and cannot let Leyang support Zhongshan City from the rear.

Although Wu Qi was marching overnight, he could not reach Zhao within a week, he looked at his lieutenant general and asked, "This samurai army is a little interesting!" ”

"This is the most elite legion of the Qi Kingdom, and at the beginning of the Yan Kingdom, Linyi won more with less, and defeated Jing Ke who defeated the Yan Kingdom!" Wu Qi's lieutenant Wei Yan said.

"Well, it's interesting, I just don't know who is stronger and who is weaker compared to my Wei Wushu?" Wu Qi said flatly.

"Of course, this is because Wei Wushu is strong, but Wei Wushu defeated the army of Qin by himself, and also broke through Xianyang City, forcing the Qin army to flee to Bashu!" Wei Yan said to Wu Qi.

"The only pity is that we didn't destroy the Qin State!" Wu Qi said lightly, when Wu Qi led Wei Wushu to march into the Qin State, he wanted to destroy the Qin State, but he didn't expect to meet a wall in Bashu!

And Wei Yan looked at Wu Qi, and then looked at the marching Wei Wushu and sighed, he didn't expect that this Wei Wushu trained by Wu Qi was so powerful, as the younger brother of Wei Wugong, he didn't recommend that Wu Qi ask so much money to train this soldier, after all, he felt that the soldiers were not as good as many, and if he had the money to build this soldier, it was better to expand the army.

However, the battle of Hexi completely subverted his idea!
