"But, if there is no grease, how can there be such a fragrance?"

Then, seeing that the color was almost ready, he placed it on a chopping board, and then cut it into several pieces with a bronze sword.

Ying Zheng also got a share.

He couldn't wait to take a bite, and as soon as he took the mouth, there was a burst of "hmm" from his throat.

"Delicious, the best in the world!"

"Crispy and delicious, tough but not hard, fragrant..."

Then he looked at the biting place, and exclaimed:

"How many layers can such a thin cake be separated?"

"How to do……"

He couldn't say anything later, because he couldn't wait to take another big mouthful.

Then stuffed it all into his mouth like a hungry ghost, and then licked his fingers unsatisfied.

No one despises him, because other people eat similarly...

He patted his belly, fed himself up, and said:

"Master, if there is such a delicacy every day."

"I won't be wronged if I entrust my life to you."

This seemed to express Ren's heart.

Before that, he was worried because he lost the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service on the battlefield because he entered the artillery division.

Looking at it now... I simply don't know how to be blessed when I am in the blessing.

While everyone was sighing, there was a faint cry from the direction of the cell.

Cang Duo said:

"They are afraid that they will have a few days to live, so let's cry!"

"If you offend the king, how can you get away so easily?"

Chapter 78 Seven Kingdoms

At that moment, Ying Zheng seemed to have forgotten that he was pretending to be a businessman, so he just hummed and asked:

"Don't they deserve to die?

Everyone fell silent in an instant.

Because they all know that "should they die" is not something they can say as soldiers.

At least the ministers in the court can discuss it.

Even the ministers have to be cautious about their words and deeds, because it is likely to touch the King Nilin, and if you are not careful, it will be a death penalty.

Although Shen Bing didn't understand Qin Law, his time here is not too short.

And looking at the expressions and eyes of the soldiers, you can tell that this is a taboo topic, so naturally you dare not speak out.

However, Shen Bing has his own method of Shen Bing.

He tore the scallion pancake in his hand into several pieces and put them on the chopping board, saying:

"This is my Great Qin, this is Zhao and Wei..."

Although the topographic map does not look like it, the location is correct.

As a military fan, Shen Bing, especially one who is interested in the Warring States Period, had no difficulty in displaying this map.

What Shen Bing didn't know was that Ying Zheng was quite surprised by his move.

In this era when information is extremely underdeveloped and people usually do not have the right to education, it is not easy to place the relative position of the Seven Kingdoms.

But Ying Zheng didn't think it was surprising after thinking about it.

Shen Bing in front of him is the one who can improve the trebuchet, invent the stone mill, and even plan to kill Li Mu. How can he be an ordinary person who can't even tell the position of the Seven Kingdoms?

Shen Bing didn't know what Ying Zheng was thinking, he continued to say to the opened map:

"Wei State is bordered by Zhao in the north, Han in the south, and Qin in the west."

"At this time, both Zhao and Han have been included in our Great Qin territory."

"This country of Wei is surrounded by our army, so there is nothing to worry about."

Ying Zheng secretly thought that Shen Bing really had some ink in his belly.

Once Zhao and Han were destroyed, Wei State, which was rectangular in shape as a whole, penetrated deep into the territory of Qin State.

In this way, whether Qin State goes from South Korea to the north or from Zhao State to the south, or both, it can easily divide and encircle Wei State and then encircle and annihilate it.

It can be said that Wei Guo has no ability to resist at all.

This cannot be saved by manpower, but determined by the terrain.

Shen Bing continued:

"So the only ones who can pose a threat to Great Qin are Qi, Yan, and Chu."

"The border between Zhao and Qi and Yan, if you want to attack Qi or attack Yan, the grain, grass and equipment must be collected by Zhao."

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

It is impossible to collect food and grass from Xianyang, thousands of miles away, and then attack Yan and Qi.

That is, there is a lot of waste at the same time.

Because the people and horses who transport the grain and grass themselves also consume the grain and grass.

For example, based on half a bucket of grain per person per day, it takes one month to transport from Xianyang to Handan, and each person will consume 30 buckets of grain for a round trip, and a 1000-person grain transport team will consume 30000 buckets of grain.

Taking into account the loss and mildew on the way, half of the grain can be transported to Handan.

If it continues to be transported to Yan and Qi, it will be almost useless.

That is to say, when people arrive, the food is also eaten.

however……

Yingzheng was puzzled, what does this have to do with whether or not to kill those Zhao nobles?

Then Shen Bing solved the mystery.

"However, there have been many natural disasters in Zhao State in recent years, first there was an earthquake, and then there was a severe drought. Most of the people used grass and trees to satisfy their hunger."

"Then the great Qin army was mobilized and destroyed... Where can we find food and grass for our army to attack Yan and attack Qi?"

Ying Zheng said "Oh" and said:

"So, if you want to conquer Yan and Qi as soon as possible, you must first stabilize the people's hearts and encourage production."

"But to stabilize people's hearts..."

Ying Zheng's face darkened.

He knew what Shen Bing meant.

If you want to stabilize people's hearts, of course you can't kill people.

In particular, he still slaughtered the nobles of Zhao State who had surrendered.

Even if these nobles were locked up and controlled, it would be much better to kill them after the capture of Yan and Qi.

Ying Zheng was right. Although Shen Bing didn't say anything, he said everything.

In history, Yingzheng killed all the nobles of Zhao State, at least thousands of them.

According to the historical records:

"In the Handan of the King of Qin, all the tasters had enmity with Wang Shengzhao's mother's family, and they all pitted them."

The three words of "all pits" are light and easy, but after that, I don't know how much blood and tears.

Many of them are old people, women and children who were implicated and sat down.

As a result, Qin's rule in Zhao was very difficult, and the recovery of agriculture was very slow...

The people of Zhao State dare not speak out because of Yingzheng's despicable power, but they can slack off production and secretly destroy farm tools to vent their dissatisfaction.

Even Zhao Guo's remnant army established a Dai State in the north to continue to resist Qin.

In fact, its influence is by no means limited to this.

You must know that Qin State had a bad record of Bai Qi killing 40 Zhao Guo's troops before this.

After that, Yingzheng used personal grievances to wantonly kill the surrendered nobles...

Who would dare to surrender easily to the nobles of other countries?

Anyone who is sensible knows that surrender is death anyway, so why not fight vigorously?

Isn't this forcing all countries to fight Qin with all their strength?

Although Qin finally unified the six countries, it can be said that the unification process was delayed for several years and the Qin army also paid a heavy price.

After Qin destroyed Zhao, even if he had such a big advantage over Wei, it would take four years before he had the strength to destroy Wei.

Even if the six countries are unified, it is not over yet.

Because of Qin's tyranny and bloodthirsty, all the six countries that were unified were "in Cao Ying's heart in Han".

So in just 14 years, it collapsed because of a little "spark".

Many people thought it was because Qin Shihuang was dead and no one could control such a big empire.

Shen Bing believes that this is precisely the consequence of Qin Shihuang's indiscriminate killings in the early stage. Even if he was alive, he could not stop the Chu and Han army's prairie fire.

Shen Bing didn't want to think so much, but he had to think so much.

Because if we follow the historical process, Qin will only need 8 years to unify the six countries, and then collapse in 14 years...

At that time, I was only in my forties. As a Qin army, should Shen Bing surrender to Chu or Han?

Wouldn't it be time to start all over again?

Therefore, Shen Bing believes that the most important thing is to consolidate Qin's country and strive to extend the Qin Empire for a few years.

Otherwise, there will be no eggs under the overturned nest, and how can he have a good life when the Qin Empire collapses?

Where will the titles earned by taking one's life go to cash in the benefits?

Liu Bang?

Xiang Yu?

Don't be funny, they saw that Shen Bing, the Qin general, had to chop it up with a knife.

Of course Ying Zheng thought differently from Shen Bing.

He remained silent with a sullen face, but he was caught in a dilemma:

Either win the world, or kill the enemy.

Is it more important to win the world or to kill the enemy?

It seems that there is no need to consider this, but Ying Zheng does.

Because childhood nightmares have been haunting him like a lingering ghost, making him restless every day.

But think about it further:

If you can win the world, what are the nobles in Zhao State?

Can they endanger the lives of others?

What's more, it might not be a bad thing to let them suffer and watch the widows dominate the world.

Thinking of Ying Zheng, he got up immediately.

Regardless of whether Shen Bing agreed or not, he rolled up the scallion pancake on the chopping board, thanked Shen Bing, turned his head and left.

Jiang couldn't help but complained from behind:
