It had been three months since Lü Zhe received the war report from Lingnan, and during this time, a lot had happened for their regime, and compared to the importance of the battle situation in Lingnan, the defeat of Wu County, which was occupied by the remnants of the Xiang clan in the Chu realm, was somewhat insignificant.

The main family members of the Xiang family fell in Shen in Chen County, and those who remained were basically people with no talent, otherwise they would never have recruited all the people into Wu County to fight the trapped beasts, and they should have scattered and dodged to carry out the assassination.

This is good, Lu Zhe deliberately ordered Ji Bu and Luo Shao to besiege and not attack, the purpose was to let those who chose a way to go to the black to concentrate on Wu County, and now Wu County has been broken and ended.

The battle situation in Lingnan is related to whether Lu Zhe can take time out to start paying attention to the north in the following years, and Zhou Wen, who succeeded Sima Xin, did a good job, and actually discovered the most important point of attacking Lingnan, that is, Lingnan's water system is developed and can be used, which is far more important than destroying more than 70,000 enemy troops in the battle of Lishui.

Yes, Zhou Wen divided his troops in a roundabout way, blocking the retreat of the enemy army and blocking many enemy troops, including a group of troops from the Ou Yu Kingdom.

The Second Lingnan Campaign lasted only a month and 14 days before it was forced to stop, because Lu Zhe's army set fire to the enemy's camp, and when the fire could be saved, no one took care of fighting and no one went to extinguish the fire, and as a result, the fire spread and spread to an area of more than 30 miles.

The fire on the west bank of Lishui not only forced the enemy to retreat, but also forced the troops who crossed the river from the east bank of Lishui to return to the east bank to avoid the fire because of the fire and smoke.

Lu Zhe's army on the main battlefield of Lishui was blocked by the fire, and it was regarded as having no chance to coordinate with the North Route Army and the South Route Army sent out by Zhou Wen.

It is simply that Wu Liang, who commanded the Northern Route Army, is not a waste, and when he could not get in touch with Zhou Wen, he decisively divided his troops to guard the main road, which can be regarded as intercepting many enemy troops and completing the scheduled task of intercepting the enemy army, otherwise the battle is estimated to not have much gain.

The same. Zeng Xian of the Southern Route Army also completed part of the interception task, he also encountered 5,000 troops of the Ouluo State along the way, and forced the troops to surrender after a fight, and Lu Zhe, who was in Nanling, also knew who Kaimingpan was and what kind of country the Ouluo State was.

After Zhou Wen sent a battle report about the battle of Lishui to Nanling, the fire that spread was finally extinguished by the belated torrential rain, and he reported the battle situation to Lu Zhe and had re-crossed the river, and re-engaged with the Northern Route Army and the Southern Route Army half a month later, and began to continue to advance.

If Lu Zhe's estimate is correct, because the Battle of Lishui annihilated the enemy's main force. The Southern Legion should not encounter any decent resistance, and the next step is the beginning of the full occupation of Guilin.

In fact, Lu Zhe's side also found a situation, all ethnic groups in Lingnan are migrating, that means that there will not be many barbarians left in this area of Lingnan in the future, and the Lingnan campaign has reached this stage is nothing more than the continuous advancement of the army and the establishment of strongholds, and in the next year, the entire Lingnan will become a part of Lu Zhe's power map, which is much earlier than the original expectation that it would take three or five years.

The Lingnan Campaign entered the final stage of the event, which was too important for Lu Zhe, which meant that he did not need to devote huge resources to the Lingnan War, and the army that was not enough at hand could be liberated and began to consolidate his rule against Huizhang County, Huiji County, Minnan County, and Nanhai County.

What kind of country is Ouluo? Lu Zhe asked a lot of people. Including Zhang Liang, who is rumored to be well-informed, none of them can say it well, but for the surname "enlightened", he got the answer from Shusun Tong.

It turns out that the compound surname "Enlightened" is the royal surname of the ancient Shu Kingdom, so it seems that the Ouluo Kingdom was founded by someone can also guess from the surname.

A country established by the descendants of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Why do you want to come and get along with Lu Zhe? This is something that Lu Zhe has never figured out.

Later, Kuaitong gave a more reliable statement, which was due to the delay of the message.

What does that mean? That is to say, when the Ou Kingdom got the news, the Qin army was going to invade Lingnan in the south, and it was time for Kaimingpan to lead the army to Lingnan. Qin's Southern Xinjiang Army had long since ceased to exist, and was replaced by the rise of Lü Zhe, and the troops attacking Lingnan also became the army under Lü Zhe.

Although Lu Zhe accepted Kuaitong's statement. However, he thought that he and Ouluo had entered a state of war, and said a very famous sentence: He can have the final say when the war begins, but it is up to me to say when the war ends.

The people present all looked at each other for a while when they heard Lu Zhe say such words, they were actually not in favor of continuing to expand to the southwest after capturing Lingnan, after all, the area of Lingnan was too desolate, and road construction was not an easy task, just occupying Lingnan was enough to develop for several generations, so why bother expanding further south?

No one dared to say what they thought, including Kuai Tong, Xiao He, Gongwei, Sima Xin, etc., because the authority of the head of any founding force is the heaviest, and Lingnan has indeed always had resources to be discovered, and they really don't know how to open this mouth.

It has always been to Chenjun's side that new information has been transmitted, and Kuai Tongcai, as a military advisor, has vaguely put forward the voice of the majority.

In this regard, Lu Zhe shook his head in disappointment and did not say anything.

………………………………

After nearly four months passed, the number of Qin troops led by Fusu had increased to 400,000, and the total strength of Qi, Yan, and Zhao had also exceeded 1.5 million, and this was the total number of participants of both sides in the Chenjun battlefield, not counting the strength of other battlefields.

In fact, the warring sides must not have so many troops now, after all, they have been fighting for four months, and the war will kill people, so how can the number of people be the same?

According to some intelligence, the armies of Qi, Yan, and Zhao are already improving, which is based on the premise of a large number of life and death elimination, and the 1.5 million coalition troops have fought with the Qin army for more than four months, and the number of killed and disabled coalition troops should be between 300,000 and 320,000. The loss figures of the Qin army were due to some reason for Lu Zhe's side to have correct statistics, and the number of soldiers killed by the Qin army in the four months of the battle was 70,000, and the number of disabled Qin soldiers was nearly 100,000.

That's right, Qin and Qi, Yan, and Zhao fought an upright battle, and they relied on hard power to fight in a certain area. It is difficult to have a chance to take advantage of this mode of war, and if you want to win, you can only fight the battlefield with real swords and guns, then the casualties will definitely be extremely heavy.

God knows what the kings of Qi, Yan, and Zhao were thinking, they actually used a group of rabble to fight a dignified battle with the Qin army, and they simply didn't think that there were enough people who died on their side!

If you think about it from the other direction, you can guess that Qi, Yan, and Zhao have only one idea of doing this, that is, they feel that they are outnumbered, and they think that relying on crowd tactics can drag down the Qin army?

"It's too naïve, the tenacity of the Qin army has been restored with the change of law again, and if you want to rely on drag to drag down the Qin army, it can only be based on the premise that the logistics supply line is unstable. And now......"

Under Lu Zhe's plan to make war money, Qin, Qi, Yan, and Zhao, who were desperately trying their best, all purchased food and other things from his side, as long as Lu Zhe did not interrupt the sale for a day, as long as any party could pay the price, there would be no crisis in the logistics line, and I really wondered why Qi, Yan, and Zhao didn't understand this.

The Qin State, which had figured it out, kept sending people to Nanling, without exception, asking Lu Zhe to make conditions, what should the Qin State pay in exchange for Lu Zhe interrupting the sale of materials to other countries.

Each time Lu Zhe gave a clear reply, no matter what price the Qin State was willing to pay, they would not stop any commercial activities, and this was also valid for the countries to stop selling materials to the Qin State.

Every time Fusu, who got this kind of answer, saw Lu Zhe's resoluteness, and the people sent later did not mention it naively, but continued to increase the purchase of certain materials.

In fact, whether it is Qin, Qi, Yan, or Zhao, they understand or may not understand that the dynamics of the war have always been "selling" information with the purchase of orders.

It's very simple, what to buy on a large scale means that these countries are very short of this kind of materials in their countries, so they need to spend a lot of money to buy from Lu Zhe's side, and the materials that are not lacking in the country have been going on for four months with the war, and they can be mobilized and transported to the battlefield for replenishment will naturally be transported.

Judging from the list, it is estimated that there has been a food crisis in Qin, and the weapons of Qi must not be manufactured to keep up with the equipment.

It is not a doubt that there is a food shortage crisis in the Qin State, a country with a population of only about four million, the number of soldiers who have been armed into soldiers is actually more than one million, so the manpower to maintain the production of weapons, battle robes and other materials required by the army, coupled with the necessary people to maintain the transportation of baggage, the domestic labor force will definitely be exhausted, and the loss of the main labor force will inevitably lead to a decline in productivity, and it is not too strange that there will be a shortage of food.

Qi State wants to ensure logistics for Yan State, and it is difficult to transport Zhao Jun because of distance restrictions, so the logistics pressure must also depend on Qi State. Qi has the plains of the land of Qilu, and the grain can be supplied in time because the distance is not too far, but because the restoration of the country has not yet had time to establish more weapons manufacturing workshops, facing the current situation of needing to provide weapons for more than one million people, it can only spend a lot of money to buy from Lu Zhe's side.

In just four months, Lü Zhe reaped great benefits from the war that broke out between Qin and Qi, Yan, and Zhao, and on the premise of being able to obtain huge benefits, not only did Lü Zhe want them to continue fighting, but some people who made money from the war also hoped that the war that did not threaten them would never stop...... (To be continued......)
