In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 503
Huayang Palace.

The afternoon sun was very warm, and the Empress Dowager Huayang was lying on the soft bed in the back garden, surrounded by flowers and plants, taking a nap.

This strong woman who has been through several generations of emperors in the Great Qin Dynasty and experienced countless winds and rains, after all, cannot withstand old age and frailty. In recent years, she has lived deeply in Huayang Palace and has seldom been a director.

It's just that at this moment, after all, there is one thing that the Empress Dowager Huayang can't let go of.

"Zhao Shuang, the Lord of Hanyang, is ordered to be the general, and he will be the governor of the upper county. He has jurisdiction over the soldiers and horses of the four counties of Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, and Taiyuan, so as to get rid of the troubles."

The servant's shrill voice rang in his ears, and the Empress Dowager Huayang waved her hand to make the servant retreat.

Now the king of Qin's methods are really unpredictable, and it is becoming more and more unpredictable.

The Empress Dowager Huayang had to lament that the current King Qin was far superior to his predecessors.

If you want to defend against the Huns, even if you want to defend in an all-round way, you don't need Taiyuan's soldiers and horses.And with the addition, almost all the wealth of the current Qin family is used.

It's just that King Qin is looking forward to winning or losing?

The king's methods are like lightning and thunder, which can not only moisten all things, but also wipe out groups of beasts.People in the game, after all, can't see clearly, maybe they think everything is as they expected.

"Mr. Changping and Mr. Changwen are here."

At this moment, the voice of the palace lady rang in the ears of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

"Let them come here!"

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen walked over with joy on their faces, saluted and greeted them.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Now the Qin State is expanding its army, and we have also contributed our efforts and trained some soldiers and horses in Nanyang." After Changping Jun finished speaking, he cupped his hands and saluted, "I am about to ask the Queen Mother to help, so that the people below will move. , went to Nanyang to join the army."

"Why, you have lost all your property, and now you are still eyeing the only property left in my old lady's hands?"

Empress Dowager Huayang said some angry words, which made Mr. Changping and Mr. Changping a little helpless.

"Empress Dowager, my Chu lineage is weakening, and it is time to take advantage of this golden opportunity to grow stronger."

The meaning in Mr. Changping's words was very cryptic, but the Empress Dowager Huayang didn't seem to hear it at all.

"Old lady, I don't see any good opportunities."

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen glanced at each other. It was a matter of the people of the Chu family developing and growing in Nanyang, making a steady profit without losing money.

The situation there is quite safe, there are almost no enemies, and the biggest enemy, Chu, will not attack them rashly.Furthermore, now that the Qin court has decided on a strategy to destroy Korea, they can also reap a lot of benefits when they destroy Korea in the future.

Lord Changping thought that the Empress Dowager Huayang was getting old, so she approached her and spoke softly.

"The Empress Dowager, Zhao Shuang went north and overwhelmed all the forces. Once something happens, it's time for us to rise again."

It's okay if Mr. Changping doesn't say it, but the old lady is even angrier when he says it.

"No promise."

The Empress Dowager Huayang sat up with the help of the maid, holding a cane in her hand, and said sharply.

"Rather than letting you ruin your property, you might as well vote for Zhao Shuang!"

Mr. Changping looked a bit ugly, while Mr. Changwen smoothed things over.

"Empress Dowager, why do you do this? Isn't this a sure loss?"

The people present have experienced the world and have a deep understanding of war.They understand that in foreign wars, especially wars between countries, the competition is not tactics and military skills, but logistics and national strength.

Because there are very few generals who will pull out all the forces of several parties under evenly matched conditions, and fight the enemy in the plains, and the outcome will be determined within a few days.

The battle of Changping, which determined the situation of the world, was fought for several years, and both Qin and Zhao almost exhausted their national strength before finally deciding the victory.

For the Huns, it was even more troublesome.

There are many infantry and chariots in the Qin army, which has no advantage over the Huns in terms of mobility.What's more, the Huns live in no fixed place, they can come and leave at any time.And the cities and towns of Qin cannot run away.

The most ideal situation can only be that Zhao Shuang defended the border, but failed for several years.

"Not necessarily!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang spoke slightly, and there was something incomprehensible to Mr. Changping and Mr. Changping in the words.

Sakura Garden in the mountains.

A group of generals gathered in the courtyard, kneeling and sitting on the wooden board.

And Zhao Shuang was in front of everyone, with his legs crossed, looking at the map beside him.

Based on the military title system, a complete storage system, and an assembly-line-like military equipment system, Qin was able to quickly pull out a huge army.

The storage system of Qin State is very complete, which is used to support the army and fight abroad.But the food and grass that enriches the storage system is the core of running the army.

In Qin's military system, the proportion of the standing army is actually not high.

The armies of the lineage of the aristocratic family are not counted as private soldiers. Only about [-] troops in the Anxi Town Army and [-] troops in the Taiyuan Defense Army are considered standing troops and professional soldiers.And in this way, the proportion of the standing army is also very high.

Most of the standing army is not engaged in production, but full-time fighting, but it also consumes a lot more soldiers than the average.Generally speaking, the armament of these standing armies is far superior to that of ordinary soldiers, and they belong to special arms, such as heavy armor, chariot soldiers, and cavalry.

Compared with those pawns who can only wear light armor and shoot in front of the formation with crossbows, these standing troops are the backbone of the army.After Fan Yuqi's [-] troops failed in Zhao's land, Qin State once lacked these backbone forces.

More than rules, not enough offense.This was also Wei Zhuang's confidence in wanting Zhao Shuang to seek rebellion.

But now, after several years of training, the troops of Xianyang City and the major battalions in Guanzhong have gradually grown into elites.

Before Zhao Shuang, there was still the problem of food and grass.

Li Ji, wearing a bamboo hat and veil, sat down on Zhao Shuang's head, followed by a group of Mohist disciples.

"Trouble the people of the Mo family, help our army build granaries and military strongholds at the locations marked on this map."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Mo family will live up to your Majesty's trust."

Zhao Shuang nodded. With Li Ji by his side, some things were much easier.

The army has not moved, and the food and grass go first.

It's just that Qin State is rich at the moment, but Zhao Shuang doesn't have much to do.

Only a small part of the reserves in the large warehouses in Guanzhong, such as Xianyang warehouse, Liyang warehouse, and Bashang warehouse, such as "one hundred thousand one product" and "twenty thousand one product", can be transferred.

The only large warehouse that Zhao Shuang can move is the Taiyuan warehouse.However, there is the pressure of Zhao Jun, which cannot be used easily.

Zhao Shuang smashed his mouth and sighed.

"This battle is really hard to fight!"

At this moment, a notification came from outside.

"Your Majesty, a group of people came outside, claiming to be sent by the Empress Dowager Huayang."

"What are they going to do?"

"They said they were willing to follow the king and serve in the army to ward off troubles. The leader even said that they brought 50 stones of food and grass to the king."

Zhao Shuang gasped.

This old lady is really hiding something!
At this time, Zhao Shuang changed his face, full of smiles.

"Don't let the honorable guest...ah, no... I personally go to meet you."
