What is the current total population of Qin?
Don't look at the future, just look at the peak moment before. The total population of Qin was close to 1.8 million.
The loss of the Jingshui River, not counting those who died in battle or disappeared, caused the Qin State to lose nearly 100,000 people.
Subsequently, Qin lost its territory on the south bank of the Wei River, but only lost about 40,000 to 50,000 Li Shu.
At this stage, the number of cities in the Qin State itself is very small. After there is no barrier to the east, the remaining main settlements are near the capital "Yong", with "Yong" as the center, and a dozen cities on the side, plus the city
Affiliated
There are villages with a population of nearly 400,000 people; the other place is with "Ji" and "Xicui" as the main settlement points, with a total population of about 300,000; the rest is the nomadic Qin State
Tribal.
As the situation worsened, the barriers along the Jingshui River and the lower reaches of the Weishui River were lost, which directly caused the Qin State to regress. Large numbers of Qin people left their homes to join various nomadic tribes, or moved to farming areas further west.
A large number of Qin people left the capital area? This kind of thing itself shows a trend, which means that the Qin people lack confidence in resisting the original country.
The senior officials of Qin Ting are not all blind. They thought about preventing Li Shu from leaving the settlement, but later it became an implicit encouragement. The reason is that they also know that they cannot resist the invasion of the original army and must find ways to reduce the consequences of the invasion.
of losses.
Before Yuan's Western Expedition, relevant information reached the front line of the battle with Yiqu. Instead of returning aid, the senior officials of the Qin State at that time sent out another call to the capital area, recruiting more than 40,000 young men.
The Qin court not only recruited young men, but also transferred valuables in large quantities for the purpose of transporting military supplies. What is the purpose of doing this? Needless to say, right?
After waiting for the original army to arrive at "Yong", they encountered no effective resistance along the way and captured "Yong" very easily.
After the war, the original army made statistics and found that there were only a pitiful number of more than 70,000 Qin people in the occupied areas, and the elderly, weak, women and children accounted for the absolute majority.
Now, what the senior officials of the Qin State cannot bear is that the original country is not satisfied with having occupied its own capital area, but is actually sending troops to the ancestral land of the Qin people.
"Once the Yuan army is allowed to capture the western frontier, the Qin State will really lose its future!" Qin Junci was shocked by the Yuan State's greed, and even more annoyed.
To say something that may seem ridiculous, the senior officials of the Qin State really wanted to use the capital circle to satisfy the appetite of the original state. They thought that if the original state captured the capital circle, they would stop military operations against Qin. They did not expect that the original state needed to take precautions.
Under the premise that the princes of the world can have such a big appetite.
There are many people who have had this idea among the top officials of the Qin State. They are all faced with the helpless choice under force, or with a sense of luck, some people successfully cut their flesh to save their lives, while more people cut their flesh and mutilated themselves and were taken away by a wave of
Walk.
"We can no longer avoid fighting!" Qin Junxi also made other arrangements, such as building a defense line in an area called "Xishan" to block the original army from continuing to march westward.
There are more than 60,000 Qin troops there who have used the continuous mountainous areas to build one line of defense after another. However, most of the 60,000 Qin troops are men without formal training. Once the original army's willingness to advance westward is strong enough and can be delayed for a period of time, they want to
I'm afraid it would be difficult to block it.
"Bai Sheng went to Yiqu Military Camp and made an appointment with them for a decisive battle in seven days." Qin Junci said.
A middle-aged man with a gentle appearance stood up and responded: "No!"
Zhao Muxie was stunned when she heard this, and wondered if the Qin State was sure of winning the battle against Yiqu, and why it dared to agree on a time for the decisive battle.
Most of the Qin people present frowned and seemed to disapprove of Qin Jun's decision.
Qin Junqi glanced at Zhao Muji, then looked around at the rest of the people, and continued: "Be prepared to evacuate."
So the promise of a decisive battle with the Yiqu people was false, but the promise of a battle made Yiqu indulgent, and the Qin army would find an opportunity to retreat again, but it was true.
Qin Junci asked the others to retreat, stood up and saluted Zhao Muxie, and said, "Now that my dear brother is here, I guess the army is by your side?"
They both have the surname Ying and have the same ancestor. This was re-verified during the Zhao Wu era. After that, even if wars broke out repeatedly between Jin and Qin, the contacts between the two families were never severed.
Zhao Muxie thought to herself: "Should I admit it or deny it? Admitting will almost make the bad intentions obvious, while denying will make it even more bad intentions. It will be very difficult to quibble."
In a short period of time, her heart went through thousands of twists and turns in just a moment. Zhao Muxie simply pursed her lips and nodded.
Qin Junci continued to ask: "I don't know how many troops there are?"
Zhao Muxie, who suspected that her whereabouts had long been exposed, did not feel embarrassed, but was just wary and replied: "Soldiers of thirty thousand battles."
Qin Jun stared hard at Zhao Muji. The two looked at each other, and for a while, smiles appeared on their faces.
"You and I are one family..." Qin Junci said in a sighing tone.
With a sincere expression, Zhao Muxie said: "I originally wanted to lead this army as a vanguard and go straight to the nine bends of the river. If my brother is in urgent need of reinforcements, he can be mobilized to rush for reinforcements."
The number of people Qin used to fight Yiqu was about 150,000. We only mention the number of people but not the strength of the troops. The fundamental reason is that a considerable number of them are not qualified sources of troops.
Qin Junci saluted again and seemed moved to thank him.
The two began to discuss how to combine their forces. After deciding where the army should be, they then discussed how to fight the original army.
"In this case, Muxie will return to the camp first and will lead the army in three days." After Zhao Muxie finished speaking, he bowed and left.
After a while, someone came out of the back tent, each of them looking very sinister.
"Why don't you just kill him?" Meng Lipo asked.
Qin Junzha's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
They were just wondering why Zhao Muxie came here in person, but they didn't know that there was a thirty thousand Dai army nearby.
There was obviously such a Dai army on the side, but Zhao Muxie didn't take the initiative to say it out. How big of a heart must she have to feel that there is no evil intention?
If Zhao Muxie had no ill intentions, even if she had no intention of helping the Qin army, telling her early would at least avoid misunderstandings.

"Harming others but not benefiting yourself!" Qin Junci felt tired.
The Qin State, which has long been located in the corner of the west, has been a bit of a cultural desert, but it has a lot of generals.
"Although I don't know what Dai Jun's purpose is in coming here, I know it is definitely not a good intention." Xi Yin said thoughtfully.
Meng Lipo immediately said: "Since you didn't come with good intentions, you should kill him. If you break him, you can lead your army to chase him, kill him and seize 30,000 Dai troops!"
This sentence made everyone present stunned.
The two families were originally one family, but with the decline of Qin and the expulsion of the Zhao family, they had the need to jointly resist the original country, which made the relationship even closer.
The leaders of both sides have mentioned in public more than once that two families are like one family. It seems that they are just emphasizing the need for more mutual trust as a means of diplomatic relations. If we really want to talk about it... it seems that there is a lot of room for maneuver?
How to put it? It can only be said that of the two Yings, one was thinking carefully, and the other was reminded by his subordinate that he could give it a try, and his thoughts became unified.
