Chapter 438
Nanzheng land.

Unlike Xinzheng, Daliangna and other royal cities, the main city in Zhao Shuang's fief located in Nanzheng land does not have the majestic and lofty aura of a king, but is small and compact.

The city of two miles, the outline of five miles, the building layout in the city is orderly, the streets are straight from north to south, and narrow from east to west.

The city is located in a plain area surrounded by water. As Zhao Shuang's 20 troops moved there one after another, a large area of ​​land outside the city was reclaimed.The village is located, and the fields are crisscrossed.

Zhao Shuang's fiefdom actually controlled the vast area from the northwest to Erniu Mountain where hundreds of soldiers of the Zhurong tribe were stationed, from the south to the Mingtan of the Bashu Xuanchu tribe, and from the east to the vast area of ​​Yongchu.But most of the entire fief is mountainous. Except for the fields in Yongchu, the real fertile land is the 80 mu of fertile land that has been reclaimed in Nanzheng.

Surrounded by water and fertile fields.

In the palace, Zhao Shuang looked out from the high pavilion.It can be seen that in the fields, there are continuous green seedlings.

Qin Mo's influence has penetrated deep into Zhao Shuang's fiefdom, and a large number of outstanding Mohist disciples have gathered in the Gongqi Department.These people are all technical talents, proficient in water conservancy, equipment, and geotechnical engineering.

"Your Majesty, there are droughts all over the world this year, but thanks to the advance arrangement by the people of the Mohists, new water conservancy projects have been built, water has been diverted into canals, and the newly reclaimed fields have been covered. Although there will be no great harvest this year, there should be some surplus."

Dianqing's huge body stood behind Zhao Shuang.He is burly, with copper bones and iron skin, making people afraid to approach him.Only when he was by Zhao Shuang's side, did he look less scary and show a trace of warmth.

"Is there a severe drought?"

Zhao Shuang murmured.The six countries of Shandong were affected by this, and their national power declined, but the national power of Qin State did not have that much influence.The Zhengguo Canal has almost been built. In addition to Dujiangyan, the two major irrigation areas of Guanzhong and Shuzhong, tens of millions of grains are imported into the warehouses every year, which is enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops from the Qin State.

"King Zhao was newly mourned, and son Qian inherited the throne, but he was incapable of governing the country, and people were dissatisfied. Gongzi Jia was in Daidi, fighting against Handan. Coupled with the drought, Zhao's national strength declined, and the proposal to attack Zhao had already been put on the table schedule."

The enemy of Qin is in Zhao. From the perspective of strategic offensive, if you want to go east, you must first take down the two major basins of Shangdang and Taiyuan to cover the safety of the Guanzhong flank.

Otherwise, Pang Nuan's route of attacking Guanzhong from Hedong with [-] troops back then would still pose a huge threat to the Qin State, and even the danger of national subjugation.

Only by destroying Zhao can Qin completely solve the security problem of the flank.

And now, it is a good opportunity.There were natural and man-made disasters in Zhao State.The young master Jia is based in the land of Dai, and there is a tendency to split with Handan.The two major legions in Zhao State, the Handan Legion led by Hu Zhe and the Frontier Legion led by Li Mu, were able to help each other in the hands of the former King Zhao.But now, because Li Mu's border army originated in Dai, it is deeply feared by Handan, and it is destined to be difficult to be reused.

Coupled with the impact of the drought, the military rations dropped sharply, and the country's power declined.

If Zhao was conquered, it would be a great military achievement. Many people in Qin had seen this opportunity and were staring at it.

"How about the Habayashi Army?"

Zhao Shuang turned his head and asked.

"According to the master's will, the three thousand feathers were brought under the ownership of the ministers, entered the armored gate, and trained according to the method of Wei Guo's military soldiers. After a few years, they have achieved something. As for the remaining seven thousand feathers, the master's generals, Family members. I saw it, Bai Lu, Sima Han, Zhao Xin and other generals are well suited. This army of ten thousand tigers has just taken shape."

This is the Ten Thousand Yulin Army, the Nine Thousand Infantry Army, and the One Thousand Cavalry Army.Among the [-] infantry, [-] soldiers are heavy infantry, while the remaining [-] are hardcover archers.

After Dianqing finished speaking, he looked down at Zhao Shuang.

"My lord also wants to participate in the campaign against Zhao?"

Dianqing is very clear that Zhao Shuang has been building war preparations for these years, bows and arrows, spear chariots... just to equip the army and gain military exploits in battle.

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"If you fight against Li Mu, you may lose as much money as you spend in it, so I won't touch this bad luck!"

For Zhao Shuang, if he wants to make military achievements, he doesn't want to hit Li Mu's big mountain with his head!

The equipment made with money is not worth the loss.

"On the rivers and lakes, in the government and the public, the old guy Changping Jun always troubles me recently." A smile appeared on Zhao Shuang's face, and the corner of his mouth slightly twitched, "Let him go first."

Changping Palace.

"Brother, Zhao Shuang's people have been very active recently, and they have already started campaigns to attack Zhao in various parts of the court."

After hearing this, Mr. Changping's heart tightened.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Zhao Shuang is probably using this to seize military power."

After King Qin came to power, the entire state of Qin took on a completely new look.Only in the Qin army, the changes were slow, basically continuing the previous pattern.

If we talk about the biggest change, it is the [-] new troops trained by Wang Jian.Wang Jian has already secured the position of general, and other generals such as Li Xin, Meng Wu, Wang Ben, Xin Sheng, etc., who are loyal to King Qin, have also emerged.

However, what matters in the military is military exploits and seniority.Even though these generals are highly trusted by the King of Qin, they still cannot stand on their own because they have no military exploits and relatively inexperienced qualifications.What's more, most of Wang Jian's men are new troops.

Therefore, in the ranks of the Qin army in foreign wars, in terms of generals, some veterans from aristocratic families and relatives are still ahead of them; in terms of soldiers, it is not the turn of the new army to fight.

"If you use soldiers against Zhao, the most likely ones to fight are Yang Duanhe's army on Zhao Shuang's side and Fan Yuqi's army on our side. But to destroy Zhao, Yang Duanhe's tens of thousands of heavy armor is obviously not enough, at least ten Tens of thousands of troops. If Zhao Shuang uses this to expand his influence in the army, we must guard against it."

"Brother, I heard that Zhao Shuang trained [-] private troops in the fief, and that's probably why."

At this time, Chang Wenjun's timely reminder made Changping Jun feel more urgent.

"This year's severe drought must be a famine year. If you want to mobilize troops, you have to wait until next year at least, when the people of Zhao are hungry and the army is suffering. Tell Fan Yuqi to step up his military training in Dongjun. With military merit, Let the top and bottom of our side in the [-] army take this to a higher level."

Mr. Changping clenched his fists, showing his ambition.

"Our power has taken root in the Qin army. Even in the future, if Qin wants to destroy Chu, we will have more leeway."

"However, Li Mu is not easy to deal with. Is Fan Yuqi his opponent?"

Changping-kun waved his hand, not seeming worried.His forces spread all over the Central Plains. Even if the arrangements on the Korean side were damaged, he still clearly knew the situation on the Zhao side.It can even be said that he knows everything well.

"The new king of Zhao Guo is very stupid, but he still has Guo Kai by his side. As soon as he ascended the throne, he suppressed Li Mu, Sima Shang and the generals of the border army. In addition, the son Jia refused to obey the orders of Handan, and Zhao Guo was already divided. Fan Yuqi will not be able to match Li Mu in this battle. Even if he does, facing the weakened border army of Zhao State, as long as he plans carefully, his chances of winning are still very high."

Mr. Changping smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This time, Zhao Shuang must not be allowed to win the position of general."
