Chapter 722 Mobilization of Troops
Queen Xuan wanted to wait until the Allied troops had progress in attacking Qin before sending troops. Without progress, she would not send troops. She would make plans and make plans.
Not only did the Spirit Envoy think so, but almost all the ministers of the State of Xuan think so.
After the envoy left, Yao Tingyu was the first to stand up and said tentatively: "King, do you want to wait until the Allied Army defeated the main force of the Qin army before participating in the destruction of Qin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before King Xuan could speak, another minister said, "With my king's wisdom, this is the best strategy to wait for the opportunity to send troops. In this way, our Xuan army will not only not suffer much losses, but will also be able to make profits in the destruction of Qin."
This is what everyone thought, and all the ministers said in the same way: "The king is wise-"
King Xuan smiled slightly, without giving any explanation for this, but changed the subject: "By the way, Qin general Wei Qing, what's the situation when attacking Wu?"
"The Wu army has returned to defense and temporarily stopped the Qin army." Yao Tingyu said.
"Haha." King Xuan smiled again, "The King of Qin has always been strange in his actions. He dared to advance the war with such courage."
"The king said..."
Yao Tingyugang wanted to ask, but King Xuan had interrupted him: "Okay, there is nothing to discuss about this matter. That is the Qin State's problem. Today's court discussions, let's stop here. I am a little tired."
As she spoke, she also walked off the throne. Seeing this, the ministers hurriedly bowed: "Greatly send the king--"
Qin State.
The war was filled with doubts, and the court was naturally in full swing. For many days of controversy, many people insisted on seeking peace and cede land and paying for silver in order to overcome the crisis.
As a result, Xiao Yuan ignored the opposition and insisted on adopting the opinions of the pro-war faction. He also appointed Su Yi as the General of the East of the Conquest and led his troops to Shanyuguan to garrison.
With the conscript never stopped, the total strength of Qin State is now similar to that of Ling State, with more than 600,000.
Among them, 100,000 are still on the border of Wu.
There are 100,000 people in Zhao Mu, and they are very likely to fight against Huan's army and cannot return to the army for the time being.
There are 50,000 in Qin Pass, which cannot be mobilized.
In other words, the domestic adjustable soldiers are about 400,000.
Many ministers were not optimistic about the attempt to defeat the coalition forces of all countries with 400,000 troops, but the general dared to fight, and Xiao Yuan dared to take on this battle.
With the issuance of military orders, the Qinzhou camp was directly drawn.
For a moment, countless troops began to fully armed, running forward in the streets, passing through the city, and marched towards Shanyuguan.
Such a large army was mobilized, so naturally it could not be concealed by the suspicion of the nations. Similarly, both sides of the streets were surrounded by the people, and almost everyone was full of worries.
Qin's policy has always adhered to benefiting the people. In the country, people's lives have been stable, with acres of land to cultivate and a house to live in.
No one wants to see the Qin army defeated.
Someone said with a worried look on his face: "Have you heard that these five countries are all targeting our Qin State, what should I do..."
"Hmph! The Central Plains have always looked down on us Qin people! They just don't like us becoming more and more prosperous!" Someone else was angry.
"That's right! The nations conspired several times to destroy our current lives! What ambition is the king to fight against the nations!"
"What's so great about the nations? At worst, just like fighting the Xirong, we carry hoes!"
While talking, someone raised his arms and shouted: "The Qin army will win!"
"The Qin army will win--"
There were shocking shouts on both sides of the street.
Qin State, a place with a bitter and cold northwest, is a place where all the people can definitely be soldiers in difficult times.
In this battle, there is no problem with the people's hearts, let alone the morale of the army.
Qin King Palace, Love Concubine's Sleeping Palace.
This news came from the old eunuch and was reporting to Shang Rui: "Your Majesty, I heard that the nations have formed an alliance and are about to send troops to destroy Qin. The leader of the alliance, King Ling, also said that he would welcome Your Majesty and return to the imperial capital."
"What!?" Hearing this, Shang Rui widened his eyes and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "This matter is serious!"
"Your Majesty, the news is true." The old eunuch bowed and said.
"Okay! OK!" As he was sure, Shang Rui immediately looked excited, held his hands together, and said excitedly: "The nations should have done this long ago, and I can finally return to the imperial capital!"
Being able to return to the imperial capital was his biggest dream now. He never thought about how good he could be if Qin was really defeated, how could the Spirit King take him seriously?
Excited, he couldn't help but hold the little hand of the Love Concubine: "Beloved concubine, you heard that all the countries are uniting in attacking Qin and want to welcome me to return to the imperial capital. The King of Qin is about to finish!"
The love concubine's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and her thoughts were changing.
This matter is quite big. She couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow in her heart, but Xiao Yuan's figure appeared in her mind for no reason.
Finally, she could only smile slightly and said, "If Your Majesty can really return to the imperial capital, it would be the best."
"Yes, yes, it won't take long." Shang Rui remained excited.
Seeing this, the old eunuch said tentatively: "But Your Majesty, I still hear that the King of Qin is already mobilizing a large army. It seems that he is going to decide the victory and defeat with the Allied Army of the Allied Powers."
"Oh?" Shang Rui smiled and said with a smile: "That can only be said that the King of Qin is overestimating his abilities. The six kingdoms in the world and the five kingdoms attack Qin, how can he resist?"
"Yes, what Your Majesty said is very..."
Qin Wang Mansion.
Xiao Yuan was looking at the military map on the wall with his hands behind his back.
After a while, he turned around and said, "The countries are about to send troops. Wei Qing will not have to fight anymore. I will send an order to withdraw to Ningyang."
Liu Yuzhi said: "Now the battle against Wu, General Wei Qing has no defeat. If he continues to use troops to Wu, can he effectively restrain the Wu army?"
"No." Xiao Yuan said directly: "Defense and attack are different. The Wu army only needs tens of thousands of troops to defend the city. Wei Qing will face bloody battles. Instead of doing so, it is better to retreat to Ningyang and block the key points of the Wu army's naval landing. At the same time, we can also place the main battlefield in Shanyuguan."
"The king is extremely worried." Jia You continued: "It is safest to retreat to Ningyang. We hope that the Wu army can attack from Ningyang and give him a head-on blow."
"This time, I'm afraid the Wu army will not attack Ningyang again, but the troops will still not be able to move." Xiao Yuan said, and said, "Next, if the Ling Army takes the lead in attacking Puyang and Yiyang, I will decide to adopt your opinion, give up these two places first, and immediately send Zhang Gongyou to prepare for the retreat."
"The king is wise." Jia You bowed and bowed.
Xiao Yuan looked at Liu Yuzhi again and said, "The Prime Minister will be responsible for all military dispatches such as food, grass, and weapons, logistics supplies."
"Yes, I received the order."
