Daqin Engineering Corps

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng was secretly startled:

I must have been stunned by Na Jidan's anger, I couldn't even think of these things!

Fortunately, this gluttonous meal of dumplings was eaten, otherwise the battle of destroying Yan would have easily started...

The State of Qin must be dragged down by the State of Yan for several years.

While Ying Zheng was secretly rejoicing, Shen Bing added thoughtfully:

"On the contrary, it's Wei Guo... I think there's no need to delay."

At this time, even Zhao Gao couldn't help but add a sentence:

"If our army destroys Yan and Wei, it will be the great Qin's trouble."

"Now that the engineer feels that Daqin shouldn't destroy Yan, why is Wei so urgent?"

This was also puzzled by Ying Zheng.

King Wei has always been very submissive. The state of Wei relied on the strong city of Daliang. Whenever there was a war, he would shrink back into the city and hold out.

That is to say, there is more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack.

Just like this time, Wei Guo sent envoys to seek peace as soon as he was frightened.

What kind of threat would such a country be surrounded by Qin on three sides?

Still in a hurry? !

Shen Bing smiled, and asked instead:

"Why do you think it is difficult to transport the military rations transferred from Xianyang to the three counties?"

Zhao Gao replied:

"Isn't it because of bandits?"

Shen Bing nodded:

"It is indeed because of bandits."

"But only on the surface."

"Think about it in detail: the country of Zhao was first hit by an earthquake and then a drought. The people all over the country starved to death everywhere, and even the soldiers were all yellow and emaciated and unable to fight. How can the bandits survive in the deep mountains?"

"And there are so many of them, there are thousands of scales at every turn..."

Ying Zheng couldn't help being surprised:

"The engineer said that this country of Wei..."

Shen Bing replied:

"Who else would there be if it wasn't Wei Guo?"

"The State of Wei is not like the State of Yan. Its terrain is flat, the water is fertile and the soil is beautiful, and the grain is harvested twice a year."

"How could they be reluctant to part with this bit of food?"

"If my predictions are correct, then most of the bandits are roaming around the border between Wei and Zhao."

"There are even soldiers from the Wei army pretending to be among the bandits!"

This is already a badly used tactic in modern times. What is it to give out some food and property for the benefit of the country?

It's just that it's still new in this era, and there are even many vassal states that don't know how to use it.

The State of Yan is one of them. When the State of Zhao was fighting against the State of Qin, the State of Yan also took advantage of the dangers of others to attack the State of Zhao again and again...

Ying Zheng couldn't bear it any longer when he heard this, he stood up with a "thump" and cursed:

"This Wei Guo is so brave, he actually treated me like a three-year-old child!"

Shen Bing was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Wei Guo plays Wei Guo, why does he treat you, a horse dealer, as a three-year-old child?

After Ying Zheng scolded, he realized something was wrong, and hurriedly explained:

"The engineer doesn't know something. Not long ago, a group of war horses were robbed on the way to Handan."

"Before it was said that it fell into the hands of bandits."

"After being told by the engineer, I realized that Wei Guo had done something secretly."

Only then did Shen Bing feel relieved.

"You're unlucky!"

"I'm afraid that these horses are all in the hands of Wei Guo, and they will never come back!"

Ying Zheng put on a sad face and replied:

"It is said that business is difficult!"

After a pause, Shen Bing went on to say:

"So, the biggest hidden danger in the three counties is actually the Wei State, not the Yan State, let alone the Dai State."

"Whether Daiguo can cause chaos is actually decided by the people of the three counties."

Ying Zheng wondered:

"Why is it decided by the people of the three counties?"

Shen Bing answered while carefully pulling the next batch of dumplings into the wok:

"If the three prefectures are governed and the people live in prosperity, they will not think of Zhao and embrace Qin."

"On the contrary, the common people support Zhao and oppose Qin."

"So if the three prefectures are strong, the Dai country will be weak, and if the three prefectures are weak, the Dai country will be strong."

"Now that the drought in the three counties has been cured, it seems that next year will be a bumper harvest, so the country is not enough to worry about."

Ying Zheng nodded again and again:

"Reasonable, justified!"

Shen Bing also said:

"But the bandits are not like this because they are controlled by the Wei State."

"They not only guard the throats of Qin and the three counties, but also do everything possible to provoke civil strife in the three counties."

"Therefore, the state of Wei will have no peace unless the three counties are eliminated."

"And if Great Qin destroys Wei, there will be no problems with destroying Yan!"

Ying Zheng was greatly impressed:

"What the engineer said is true."

"The state of Wei can plant winter grain, and next year there will be a harvest."

"Besides, Wei's real estate has a lot of grain and is located in the middle of the border with Chu and Qi. It will be of great benefit to destroy Chu and Qi in the future..."

"Hehe, just kidding! I'm just talking."

Shen Bing let out a sigh in his heart.

This horse dealer has a huge appetite, and he has risen to the height of destroying Chu and Qi.

If it was Ying Zheng who said this, it would be more or less the same.

But Shen Bing said these words from Ying Zheng's point of view.

The benefits don't stop there.

For example, destroying Wei can actually save troops:

The state of Qin surrounded the state of Wei, almost spreading out its troops to surround the state of Wei.

If the state of Wei is destroyed... the winding border line will be straightened in an instant, so not only will more troops not be needed to destroy Wei, but a large number of troops will be saved.

There is no harm at all, so why not do it?

Let's see what Ying Zheng thinks now.

However, Shen Bing did not have much hope for it, because although Ying Zheng did not destroy the Yan Kingdom in history, he defeated Jicheng and drove Yan Wangxi to the north.

In the end, perhaps it was too cold in the north and the supply of troops was insufficient, so we didn't continue to fight.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin State needed to recuperate for four years after that.

Why do you say this thankless thing?

If Ying Zheng was in front of him, Shen Bing would definitely scold him bloody!

Chapter 1 Seventeen

If it is said that Jingke's assassination of Qin has played any positive role in history.

That should lead Qin Shihuang to the wrong strategic direction and delay the unification of the Central Plains by a few years.

There is no doubt that Ying Zheng originally wanted to destroy Wei State first.

Everyone knows that Wei Guo at this time is already a thorn in Qin's side and wants to get rid of it quickly.

However, Ji Dan is planning to assassinate Qin at this time...

In a rage, Yingzheng ordered Wang Jian to attack Yan, so there was the battle of Yishui and the battle of attacking Ji.

And the country of Yan is a bitterly cold place in the north, attacking the country of Yan is completely exhausted in terms of military strength and food.

Even in order to hold onto the Yan land that has been laid down, it has to be consumed for a long time, and this is a far cry from coming and going.

As a result, it will take a few years before Wei Guo's big piece of fat reaches his mouth.

When everyone was chatting happily, Chen Kui came up and shouted:

"Go to work quickly after eating."

"According to the way you eat, even if you eat it tomorrow, you won't be able to finish it!"

When he turned to leave, he found two businessmen sitting in the crowd, and he scolded angrily:

"Is the military camp a place for idlers to eat and drink? Don't let me see you two again!"

He left without looking back.

Jiang spat at Chen Wei's back, and cursed:

"This thief is hateful!"

"I'm using my own food, what's the matter with him?"

Ren replied:

"It's not like you just found out today that this guy hates the talents of engineers."

"Say a few words less, if he hears it, you will have to aggravate the task and embarrass the artillery master!"

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Wei's back and asked Shen Bing:

"That's..."

Shen Bing explained:

"He's a coward."

"It's okay, I'll just wait until he sees me next time!"

Ying Zheng said "Oh" and nodded slowly:

"That's right, just don't let him see it!"

For some reason, when Ma Shang said this, Shen Bing suddenly felt a little cold, with goosebumps all over his body and trembling.

What the hell is the weather, if I knew it, I should have asked the fat man to change into a few more sets of new clothes!

There are no new clothes, even old clothes.

Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe were inspecting the defense line when they were called.
