I don’t know the account, but I was shocked when I calculated it. Not only King Zhao of Qin was surprised, but even Bai Qi, Sima Geng and the others were quite surprised.

Since the Battle of Changping, Qin State has fought a series of victories, and these victories have been great victories, and the price they paid is not very high. However, killing one thousand enemies will kill eight hundred. Even if the Qin army is good at fighting, it will have to pay a certain price. After accumulating a small amount, the number will be greater.

Of course, this price is nothing compared to the great victory achieved by the Qin army.

The problem is that although Changping's battle with Qin was a victory, it was a tragic battle. Nearly half of the 580,000 army suffered casualties, which means nearly 300,000 casualties. This has never been so expensive in the history of Qin.

The battle between Changping made Qin a little unable to bear it. The subsequent series of wars made Qin even more unbearable.

"The Prime Minister is very careful and will not be bad." Sima Geng is the national lieutenant, and he is in charge of these things. He is very clear that Fan Sui did not say anything randomly.

"I don't know, I'll startle me." Bai Qi stroked his forehead, quite surprised.

Fan Sui continued to say: "In just six years, the Qin Dynasty lost 400,000 troops to fight. It was too difficult to make up for this number. Although it has been training new recruits over the years, it cannot be made up for it. Today, although the Qin Dynasty has nearly 500,000 troops, except for the garrisons in various places, it can only mobilize 300,000. I wonder if you can wipe out all countries with a mere 300,000 people?"

The Changping War lasted for three years, and there was another year of suspension. The Qin Yiren's war lasted for nearly six years in the past two years. In just six years, nearly 400,000 soldiers were lost, which was a huge price for the Qin State.

You should know that at that time, the total population of Qin was only five million, which means that Qin lost one-twelve of its population. This was an unbearable huge loss for the sparsely populated Warring States Period.

Even so, with the strength of Qin, he could gather nearly 500,000 troops. The problem is that Qin still had to station everywhere. Moreover, because of the success of Qin Yiren's war, the territory of Qin expanded, so there were more places to station and fewer troops that could be mobilized.

King Zhao of Qin tightly twisted his lips, his face looking very ugly.

He knew that Fan Sui was right, and with his clarity, he would definitely not arrogantly believe that a mere 300,000 troops could wipe out the nations and unify the world.

"What's so great about this? Just recruit soldiers." Ying Ying saw that the crowd was solemn and no one spoke, so he came to steal the limelight again.

"Shut up!" King Zhao of Qin and Prince Ying Zhu shouted in unison.

King Zhao of Qin looked at Prince Ying Zhu with appreciation. His sick husband's son was not an incompetent person. He actually saw the problem. Unfortunately, he spent a lot of time fighting against the disease and could not be used to govern the country. Fortunately, there was also Qin Yiren, a capable grandson.

"You only know how to recruit soldiers, but you don't know that this will hurt the foundation of the country." Seeing that King Zhao of Qin admired him very much, the crown prince Ying Zhu was a little braver and said, "In the warring battles, it is most taboo to hurt the foundation of the country. Once the foundation of the Qin Dynasty is damaged, how can the Qin Dynasty wipe out the countries and the whole world?"

"Yeah." A sound of admiration rang out.

Qin Yiren looked at Ying Zhu and thought to himself that his cheap father is still smart and smart, which is much better than Ying Ying, who is simple-minded and well-developed. Unfortunately, his body is too weak and he has no energy to think about military and political affairs, but instead spends time fighting the disease.

"At the beginning of the Warring States Period, the most powerful was Wei. King Hui of Wei was busy with military force, and made enemies from all sides, and fought on a large scale, and eventually injured the foundation of the country. Wei State declined from then on and could not recover. When King Wei of Qi was King Wei, Qi State was so powerful that the world looked at him. In the end, because it hurt the foundation of the country, it also declined. Even the small Yan State almost destroyed Qi. Chu State was originally the largest country, and when King Zhuang of Chu was even more powerful, he later also injured the foundation of the country. From then on, he was not valued by the world." King Zhao of Qin's eyes flashed in his deep voice: "The Qin Dynasty must not do such a damage to the foundation of the country. Remember!"

After speaking, his eyes fell on Qin Yiren, which was to warn Qin Yiren.

"Don't worry, I understand." Even if King Zhao of Qin did not warn, Qin Yiren would not do such stupid things as fishing in the waters and killing chickens to get eggs.

"The army is insufficient and it is difficult to pacify the world. Can we conscript foreign races such as Lin Hu, Loufan, Loulan, Xiu Tu, Hunxie, and Qiang join the army?" King Zhao of Qin thought for a while and asked: "The people of the Great Qin are mostly Rong people. If the Rong people can serve the Great Qin, these foreign races should be able to do it, right?"

"Your Majesty, these alien races have just been conquered by the Qin Dynasty and their hearts have not returned. If they conquer their army at this time, it will inevitably lay hidden dangers." Fan Sui's wise man saw it very accurately and said: "Even if these alien races are to be recruited to join the army, they have to wait for the governance. The time does not take too long, and it will take three to five years to complete."

Emperor Wu of Han was a master in this field when he brought ethnic minorities to the army. When he fought against the Huns, he made great achievements in letting the Huns join the army and using the Huns to defeat the Huns. Of course, this was based on the reputation of the Han Dynasty. If it were not supported by the Han Dynasty, it would be impossible to succeed.

King Zhao of Qin had a good idea and was something that would inevitably be carried out in the future. Unfortunately, because these alien races had just been conquered and could not be summoned to join the army, they had to be postponed.

"This..." King Zhao of Qin looked a little ugly. Although he knew that Fan Sui's words made sense, he had not had much future. He was eager to wipe out the countries and unify the world. He would never accept not advancing eastward.

"Your Majesty knows how much grain does the Great Qin have now?" Fan Sui, as if he had not seen the ugly face of King Zhao of Qin, then said: "Now there is only 30% of the grain in Guanzhong warehouses, and only 10% of the grain in the outside warehouses. The collection of the national grain only lasts for a year, and the eradication of the nation and unifying the world, from at least five years, ten years, or even longer, and the grain in Qin cannot support it."

"You're talking nonsense." Ying Qing stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Who doesn't know that the Qin Dynasty is rich and powerful, and how can it be without food?"

This question was exactly what King Zhao of Qin thought, and he echoed: "Yes. The great Qin Dynasty is rich and well-known to everyone in the world, so it won't be without food, right?"

Fan Sui was calm and calm, and said with his fingers, "The battle of Changping took three years and consumed all the savings of four generations of people who had been reduced to Xiaogong for nearly a hundred years. After the battle of Changping, the warehouses in Guanzhong had only one or two percent of the grain, and the warehouses outside the warehouses had no grain to hold them. It is precisely because of this that the general's plan to march into Handan was not adopted. Although he had been recuperating for a year, Guanzhong was mature, and the following battle of Handan and Zhongmu were consumed. Immediately after, the young master Yiren launched a military campaign in the north, which took more than a year, and the grain consumed was not small. This is because Guanzhong was mature in the past two years. If there were disasters in Guanzhong, he would have been unable to hold on."

After calculating one by one, King Zhao of Qin was frightened, his face turned blue, and he pursed his lips tightly.

He thought Fan Sui was telling lies, but after careful calculation, he found that Fan Sui was very accurate and there was no mistake.

"Datian Ling." He still felt a little unacceptable and turned his head to look at Datian Ling, who was in charge of money and grain.

"Your Majesty, every sentence that the Prime Minister said is true, without any false words." Datian Ling stood up, with a stuttering on his neck, and said with a huff.

"No food?" King Zhao of Qin felt bitter.

"Your Majesty, it's not all bad news, there's also good news, that is, there's countless money." Datian Ring smiled and said, "Young Master Yi successfully fought and plundered countless fine jades, gold, silver, jewelry, and high-quality jades, which can be used for the Qin Dynasty for ten years."

"So much?" King Zhao of Qin had known that Qin Yiren had plundered a lot of money, but he didn't expect that it would be so much, and he was very surprised.

"What I said refers to a ten-year war." Datian Ling's words made people even more excited.

"In other words, you don't have to worry about the money you have all the time?" King Zhao of Qin's eyes shone brightly.

"Yes." Daejen Ling focused heavily.

King Zhao of Qin raised his eyebrows, his eyes darkened, and he said, "If you have money but no food, you still can't fight this battle. What should I do?"

The battle is about money and food. If you have money and no food, you can't fight it. If you have food and no money, you can't fight it. Only with money and no food can you fight it. Qin State now has money and no food, and you can't fight it even if you want to fight it.

"Father, what's the problem?" Ying Ying rolled his eyes and hurriedly asked, "You can't fight a lot, you can fight a small fight? You can kill South Korea first, there will be no problem."

King Zhao of Qin's eyes shone and slashed with his hands, saying, "Yes, a small country in Korea, as long as the army of Qin arrives, it will not perish?" He has not had many days to come, and he really wants to wipe out all the countries and unify the world in his lifetime. Even if he cannot destroy all the countries, how many people can be destroyed are.

"Big Father, no." Qin Yiren said at the right time, "Although South Korea is weak, it is ranked among the seven major warring countries after all, and it should not be underestimated. Moreover, the capital of South Korea, Xinzheng, was extremely strong after Shen Buhe, and even Pang Juan did not break it back then. If the Qin army sent troops, it would be possible to destroy South Korea, but it would not be possible in a short time. It would still be necessary for a year and a half. This dispatch would require 300,000 troops, and the food and grass consumed a lot. The Qin did not have so much food and grass at the moment."

King Zhao of Qin stared at Bai Qi, and before he could ask questions, Bai Qi said: "If the food and grass are really as the Prime Minister said, it really cannot support the battle to destroy Han."

This is like a basin of cold water pouring down. King Zhao of Qin was eager to destroy the six kingdoms. The enthusiasm of the whole world suddenly cooled down, his brows frowned and he pondered silently.

"Your Majesty, I think that the Qin Dynasty should temporarily delay its advance eastward and build its national strength." Fan Sui advised again, saying: "It doesn't take much time, just three or five years to achieve it. The King of Princess Wang conquered large tracts of land and cities. The Qin Dynasty had more people than before. As long as it was managed well, the Qin Dynasty would be stronger."

At present, Qin State does not lack people, money, and land and cities. What is most lacking is time, and what is lacking is the time to "digest" the land conquered by Qin Yiren. As long as there are three or five years, Qin State digests the results of Qin Yiren's expedition this time, and its strength will be stronger, which is certain than before the Changping War.

By then, Qin could advance eastward in a large scale, wipe out the nations and unify the world.

"Three years and five years?" King Zhao of Qin's face was gloomy and he was almost twisting out the water.
