Chapter 668: On the Road (Part I)

"Iβ€”I don't understand......" Zang Di was full of confusion: "Why did they come together with him?" ”

"They" refers to Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Han, and "he" refers to LΓΌ Zhe's Han.

It makes sense that Zhao Guo suddenly changed camps, the world has never been able to contain fire, and Qi Guo wants to sacrifice the interests of Zhao State to feed Yan Guo and Chen Sheng's side, such a thing is estimated to be detected, so it is reasonable for Zhao State and Qi State to turn their faces.

Needless to say, Wei and Korea should be infiltrated in all aspects after accepting the protection of Han.

In fact, since the Wei army and the Korean army were trained by the generals of the Han State, it was already doomed that the Wei and Han countries would lose their ability to resist, after all, the army was the foundation of a country's existence, and the army was sinicized first, and the country was like an orange that was peeled open to reveal tender meat, and had no defense ability.

The economies of Wei and Han are also dependent on the Han state, so the civil and official system will definitely face collapse, and the Han state is one step closer to controlling the civil and official system, and the country in which the civil and military systems are all accused is not an independent existence at all, and the ultimate fate cannot be changed.

Qi is actually doing the same, using a stronger economy than Yan to carry out the first step of economic control, waiting for Yan to be inseparable from Qi's financial and material support, Qi will stretch out its hand to Yan's army system.

It's a pity that the Yan State is about to form an economic dependence on the Qi State, but the Han State declared war at this time.

Tian Rong looked at the crumpled paper in his hand a little stunned, and looked at the few words over and over again.

The Han State has already shown the strength to sweep the world, and is already doing military operations to sweep the army, Tian Rong doesn't understand why those countries will still come together with the Han State, aren't they afraid that after Qi and Yan are destroyed by the Han State one after another, it will be their turn next?

"The Han army marquis I encountered, he sued me," Zang Di's expression was very strange: "...... After giving the paper to you. I was free to go north and return to the land of Swallow. ”

Tian Rong turned his head to look over, Zang Di's condition was very wrong.

"The marquis of the Han army relayed some of the words of Han Wang Zhe," Zang Tu shook his head, wanting to laugh and holding back: "The Han state allows the Yan state to survive the zΓ i, provided that it withdraws from this war and then moves to an area further northeast than Liaodong. ”

The actual person in charge of Yan Guo is not Yan Wang Xia, but Zang Di and Han Guang, which is a well-known thing in the world.

In fact, what kind of thing is Yan Wang Ji Xia, and whether he has the blood of the Yan royal family is also a question. If Ji Xia is really the bloodline of the Yan royal family, there is no reason not to know the grievances and entanglements between the Yan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom. You must know that the Yan Kingdom was almost destroyed by the Qi State, and the Qi State was almost killed by the Yan State and the other countries, so the royal families of the two countries have always been in a situation where they have never been able to communicate with each other.

In their generation, the State of Qi is in a strong position to try to unite with the Yan State, if it is according to the stubbornness in the bloodline of the Yan royal family, it will not be reasonable, but it is obvious that the Yan State under Zang Tu and Han Guangkong will not carry so much historical baggage, and Ji Xia does not seem to know the enmity between the two countries at all, at least Ji Xia has never shown any hostility when he came into contact with those people of the Tian family.

Tian Rong opened his mouth, he really wanted to say that the Han army would not let Zang Di return to Yandi at all. But since Lu Zhe dares to let people speak, then according to Lu Zhe's attitude of pursuing integrity, Han Guo can definitely do what he says.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Migrating to a region further north than Liaodong? "Tian Rong didn't know what to say, the Han Kingdom under Lu Zhe's rule was very strange. It's hard to understand what you've been doing.

"I'm leaving," Zang Di bowed to Tian Rong: "Go back to Yandi, and then ......" smiled bitterly, shook his head and didn't say anything further. He really opened the curtain and walked out.

Tian Rong continued to be in a state of stunned for a long time after Zang Di left, and he could feel the decadence that could not be concealed in Zang Di's demeanor, which was a psychological touch that would only come after encountering too many things.

The Han state rose strongly. The nations have fought endlessly, and it is difficult to compete with the Han State under exhaustion, as long as the eyes are not blind, they can see that the Han has the tendency to dominate the world again.

Under the choice of where to go, no matter what kind of promises the Han State gave to Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Han, these countries have formed a practical alliance with the Han State, Zang Di played his own banner after leaving the Qi army camp, and along the way he saw that the Qin army, the Zhao army, the Wei army, the Han army, and the Han army were converging on the side of the Qi army.

"Tian Rong......" Zang Di was very gloomy: "I can't hold on for long." ”

After their coalition army went south, they first fought with the Qin army on the side of Chen County for more than a year, and then pounced on Sanchuan County, and fought with the Qin army for nearly two years within the scope of Sanchuan County, Nanyang County, and Dang County.

After three years of war, the Qin army has already shown a declining posture in its defensive posture, and the fatigue of the coalition army on the attacking side must be more strict.

According to unreliable statistics, the Qin army will not be less than 200,000 troops to the Central Plains Army in the past three years, but the strength of the Central Plains Army has always remained at 600,000, does that mean that the Qin army has lost about 200,000 soldiers in the three-year war?

Zang Di did understand the situation on the side of the coalition army, and in the past three years, there were about 300,000 soldiers on the battlefield of the coalition army, and there was no way to count those who were crippled or escaped, but there were more than 1.2 million people who disappeared from the register of soldiers and people.

The Qin army's combat has always been a bloody tactic, and the way of taking heads to record merit allowed the Qin soldiers to kill all the way and cut off their heads, so that as long as the coalition army was defeated, the battlefield was basically full of headless corpses that had lost their heads. The Qin army is not only killing soldiers, as long as it is a non-Qin army within the range of the battle, those Qin soldiers will not go to the soldiers or civilians respectively, anyway, they are killing and killing, and the place where the Qin soldiers' boots have stepped is uninhabited.

In the three years of fighting between the coalition army and the Qin army, it was not the soldiers who died the most, but when the battle began in Chenjun, the Qin army was able to restrain itself and reduce the killing of civilians, because there were always Han troops watching from the side, and the Han side had been warning the Qin state. When the battlefield shifted to Dangjun, and without the constant warnings from the Han side, the Qin army began to become somewhat in line with the blood type posture of the past, and the killing of civilians resumed.

After the Qin army entered a state of engagement, there was one more thing that had to be done, that is, to entangle the main force of the warring object, and then intersperse the battlefield with endless attacks on the baggage troops, and the number of civilian casualties that the coalition forces could count would not be less than 400,000.

The lost labor naturally needs to be replenished, and over and over again, the coalition army has lost more than 1.2 million people in three years, and ordinary people may not understand what this means, but where will the top level of the country not understand that this is an extreme drain on national strength?

Neither side is so good, and even if the war is fought like that, no one will be the final victor. Therefore, after the Han Kingdom entered the war, in fact, many people knew that the situation was going to change, and what changes would depend on how big Lu Zhe's mind was.

How big is Lu Zhe's mind? Even if Zang Di was intercepted, he was also allowed to go after he revealed his identity, and after he entered the northern area of Surabaya County, what he saw represented how big Lu Zhe's mind was.

After the war, the northern part of Surabaya County was being rebuilt, and the main labor force was locals hired by the Han State, who were organized into a team by the civilian officials of the Han State, much like a militarized management model directing the construction everywhere.

To build roads, the Han State hired a large number of people to build roads, which were at least four zhang wide, and it was obviously intended for military purposes.

The importance of roads is the knowledge that Zang Di realized when he jointly developed Liaodong and the peninsula with the Qi State, and the Han State was building a road connecting the north and the south, not only on the Surabaya County, but also from some information that showed that Xue County, Donghai County, and Langxie County were all building roads, as a person who was qualified to participate in the management of the country, how could he not know what these roads would mean after they were completed.

"Huh? The Han State employs more than 2 million people, not only building roads on a large scale, but also sorting out the water conservancy of the people? Zang Di opened his mouth wide when he heard the news: "The number of soldiers, auxiliaries, and civilians in the Han army going north will not be less than one million, plus the two million people who are maintained and employed, where did Han Wangzhe get so much grain and straw to support?" ”

Talking to himself, no one could answer Zang Tu, and told him that the rice seeds obtained by the Han State for the south had been confirmed to be able to be cultivated for two seasons in the area near the south, so the land reclaimed by the Han Tuntian soldiers in the Cangwu County, Nan County, and Changsha County areas had become a granary after three years of hard work.

In recent years, the water conservancy construction of the Han Kingdom for the grain-producing areas has not been interrupted, and the south itself is a terrain with many water systems, and the weather encountered in the past few years can also be regarded as smooth and rainy, and the accumulated grain straw in addition to the previous trade sales, the hoarded grain can be calculated to provide a million troops for two years of consumption.

After opening the local Tuntian soldiers, they have already gone south to Lingnan, and in the next three years, they will also build that land into a grain production area. In addition, the Han State's takeover of Ba County and Shu County is also underway, and it is only a matter of time before the grain-producing land of the Shuzhong Plain is in hand.

The calculation method of grain consumption between the military and the civilian population is different, and the grain used for the military will be lost due to such and such accidents in addition to eating, but the people do not have too many worries in this regard. In addition, the Han Kingdom did not stop farming after entering a state of war, and it was also producing while consuming, which was a kind of sustainability.

Zang Di looked all the way, and only found a problem that he had neglected before after entering the boundary of Xue County, that is, the social environment in the area occupied by the Han army seemed to be out of line with the kind of war and chaos? (To be continued......)
