There are many factors to consider when launching a war, including soldiers, food, equipment, and military prostitutes.

Most of the Dukes of the Qin court knew about this.

But if we talk about the key points and point out the interests of the war to the point, there will be only three or five people in the Qin court.

As a traitor, Zhang Yi saw these things thoroughly. Before he went down the mountain, he talked about the current problems of war with his master Guiguzi.

Zhang Yi said: "The king, I think that if the State of Chu really puts the whole country into play, the matter of food and grass should be the issue of Qin."

forage?

Qin had just conquered Bashu, and the country of Bashu Tianfu was the granary of Qin. With a bumper harvest of potatoes, Qin is now not short of food.

So before Zhang Yi finished speaking, someone began to question it.

"Master, what I said is wrong. The lower officials believe that although Qin has encountered locust plague, the land of Bashu has not been affected. If the war begins this spring and summer, it will be completely turned around."

This group of brainless things! Zhang Yi was a little annoyed: "How to turn around?

The land of Bashu has a dangerous terrain, poor mountains and bad waters, and although there is enough food, how can I send it to the front line?"

Later generations Li Bai once wrote in his speech "The Road to Shu": Alas, how dangerous it is! The road to Shu is more difficult than climbing to the sky! Why is the founding of the country at a loss?

You are 48,000 years old and will not be connected with Qin Pass! This is enough to show the difficulties and dangers of Shu! It is difficult to transport the grain from Bashu to Hangu Pass of Qin. Wu Pass was a generation that could not be reached for several months.

Later generations, the Ladder Stone Village was built during the reign of King Zhaoxiang, but if it was transported, it would still take a lot of effort.

Ying Si instantly understood what Zhang Yi said.

The court officials who had just confronted Zhang Yi lost confidence after a word and did not dare to continue to make remarks.

As a court official, you should not be afraid of saying the wrong thing! However, this must be based on the premise of having true insights, otherwise, it will be regarded as short-sighted.

Ying Si would think that these people are mentally retarded.

He said seriously: "If a direct road is built between Bashu and Hangu Pass, can this matter be resolved?"

Zhang Yi suddenly understood Ying Si's intentions, shook his head and said, "There are many mountains between the two places, and it is difficult to build roads."

If you want to get rich quickly, have fewer children and more roads! If the two places are really connected successfully, it will give Qin a great convenience, but this idea is obviously unrealistic.

Ying Si closed his eyes and pondered, what tools did future generations use to transport food?

Wheelbarrels, horse-drawn carriages, chariots, tractors?

Tractors are a bit scary. In this era, they will be regarded as monsters, and the noise pollution is too much.

Wooden ox and horse?

Ying Si suddenly thought of the wooden ox and the flowing horse.

During the Three Kingdoms era, the famous military scientist Zhuge Liang had a great idea. While studying Zhuge's crossbow, he also invented the wooden ox and flowing horse.

According to historical records, wooden ox and horses were used by Zhuge Liang during the Northern Expedition, and their load capacity was about 400 kilograms.

The daily itinerary is "special travelers travel dozens of miles, and thirty miles in groups", providing military rations to hundreds of thousands of troops in Shu Han.

However, the appearance is still unclear! If we build a stone village between Bashu and Hangu Pass in the future, then use wooden ox and horses as a means of transportation.

If you take two steps, the problem may be solved easily.

For Ying Si, there is no problem in making wooden ox and flowing horses, so the food and grass problem can basically be solved.

Then the next step is the key.

Ying Si thought to himself: "If Qi and Chu join forces, their troops will be several times higher than our Qin army, and their combat power will not be inferior to that of the Qin army, can Qin fight against it?"

Everyone was silent and nodded without saying a word.

This short sentence has stoked the hearts of many Qin people. According to common sense, Qin has no chance of winning.

Gao Changgong smiled, but he didn't say anything, as if he had an epiphany.

Ying Si had sharp eyes. He knew that Gao Changgong, who was the God of the Northern Qi army, had made great achievements in military and strategy.

He also noticed that Gao Changgong's calm expression was also calm, and he knew that he had a good idea to retreat to the enemy.

"Gao Aiqing, tell me."

Gao Aiqing naturally refers to Gao Changgong! Asking about Gao Changgong seemed to be beyond the expectations of many court officials.

His origin was just a servant from a brothel. Could it be that brothel servants would also have unique insights into wars?

It's like a fortune teller saying that he can calculate the stock's rise. Do you believe it?

Being able to gain a foothold in the court either has real skills or has good interpersonal relationships and can gain a foothold.

Newcomers like Gao Changgong are inevitably suppressed.

This is also a process that an unknown young man must go through and grow up to become a major official of the country.

Ying Si seemed to see the doubts in everyone's eyes, and then he increased his tone, looked at Gao Changgong, and asked confidently: "Changgong, let's talk."

Gao Changgong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that since Qi and Chu want to form an alliance, we will not let him form an alliance."

This is nonsense.

If you say you don’t let me go, will they not form an alliance?

I said I asked you to die, will you die or not?

When everyone heard this, they were shocked by a tsunami.

But Gao Changgong hasn't finished speaking yet.

Faced with the ridicule that everyone was almost on the surface, Gao Changgong was calm and calmly said: "The king, I think that Qi and Chu are not difficult to deal with. Just use a little trick to make both countries unable to take care of themselves."

It's really easy to say.

However, Ying Si was a little happy. He liked this kind of young and frivolous.

"Gao Changgong, you can't talk nonsense. If you don't say a word today, don't blame us for being in trouble with you."

Some people ridicule.

Gao Changgong bowed and continued, "My lords, I, Gao Changgong, can give advice today, and I have shown above you. If I don't say it, what good ideas are there in your heart?"

Of course not, if there were, they would have said it long ago.

However, it is often not good to have a Qin court's trust and spirit that is too strong, and will offend many people. If you make a mistake, not only will no one excuse you, but you will also be hurt by the insult.

Not realizing this, Gao Changgong is too young.

"Please tell me clearly, and let me listen carefully."

Gao Changgong was too lazy to pay attention to them, and analyzed it with a gaze: "The king, the national fortune and diplomacy of Chu are completely in the hands of one person, and that is the left disciple Qu Yuan, whom the king hates."

"If Qu Yuan is exiled or leaves Yingdu, who can take over Qu Yuan's affairs in Chu?"

Ying Si shook his head and said firmly: "No one can do it. Qu Yuan is a diplomatic genius and has a very literary talent. No matter which country he is in, he is the mainstay."
