Think about it.

Only one conclusion can be drawn, that is, the Xirong people have taken a fancy to the land conquered by the Qin army, so they want to intervene in the grassland.

"My dear grandson, is your grandpa and many civil and military ministers right?"

No matter how deduced and conjectured.

Ying Zheng had already promised Ying Mu to hand over all matters on the grassland to him, which was equivalent to turning the grassland into his fiefdom.

Therefore, when dealing with Xirong people, you still have to listen to Yingmu.

"Grandpa, what you said is very reasonable. This is similar to my guess. Since the people of Xirong previously regarded wealth as their life, it means that it is absolutely impossible for them to suddenly appear on the grassland, even if the grassland is now gone. overlord the Huns tribe."

Ying Mu expressed his approval.

Then he said:

"Since the Xirong people have already provoked, then our Daqin must not be unresponsive.

Now that Meng Tian's food and grass have been taken away, he probably ate it for a few days!

So the grandson planned to go back to the grassland immediately and send him supplies. "

The reason why he proposed to return to the grassland at this juncture.

The reason is that Ying Zheng promised him to let him go back before.

But the other party was too reluctant to part with him, so he tried to persuade him to stay. Now it's spring, and the snow in Xianyang City has melted.

It was also time for him to return to the grassland.

"Then you go〃||!"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Mu, as if seeing a young eagle about to soar high.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

What's more, he doesn't know as much as his grandson.

So no matter how reluctant he was, in the end reason overcame sensibility, and he did not continue to let Yingmu stay in Xianyang City.

After some discussions.

Ying Mu returned to Taisun's mansion.

Start packing your bags.

The treasury will deploy a batch of supplies to go north with him.

Zhang Liang, who had been silent in the hall, suddenly said:

"I don't know if His Highness has noticed that when His Majesty wanted to recruit some food and grass to support Meng Tian today, those ministers, including Prime Minister Li Si, looked a little unhappy.

Could something be wrong? "

"I also found out, probably the treasury is empty again!"

It's in Ying Mu's words.

From Li Si's expressions and the distress in his words, he already knew that the current state treasury might not look good.

Last year's Daqin was full of disasters. There were floods in many places, and money was needed from the treasury everywhere.

therefore.

Food, grass and horses, which were nothing at all, were already a burden to them.

"Your Highness is right, and I think so too. The emptiness of the national treasury has become a persistent problem. Even if we brought back so much gold from the Moonland Kingdom, it can at most be compared to that. If we don't reform, then there will be big problems soon. .

but.

compared to these issues.

He is more concerned about the next expedition to the grassland.

The treasury is empty.

Then in the process of their next battle with the Xirong people.

There will be no continuous supply of supplies.

Although he was very confident about Ying Mu leading the army, Zhang Liang still couldn't help but cast a haze in his heart at this time.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem!"

Ying Mu already looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl.

Now that we have seen the emptiness of Daqin's treasury.

Then he wouldn't deliberately ask Ying Zheng to ensure that their supplies will continue to flow just because he brought back so much gold before.

How to solve the problem of insufficient material logistics.

He already has an idea.

There was a dynasty in the later generations, they made their fortunes on the grasslands, and finally went directly to the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Where did their food and supplies come from?

The Qin army's supplies, food and grass can also come from there.

Who made the Xirong Kingdom take the initiative?

Then get ready to face bad luck with the Jurchen clan.

Zhang Liang didn't ask much.

as a courtier.

To wantonly speculate on the monarch's thoughts is the way to death.

This doesn't fit with his remaining philosophy.

a few days later.

The army set off.

There are a total of 6000 Daqin Ruishi accompanying them this time.

Three thousand more than before.

By the time the army arrived at Yumen Pass, one-tenth of the food and grass accompanying them had been consumed.

With such a large amount of supplies, not to mention the army led by Ying Mu, even if it is given to Meng Tian, ​​it is still a drop in the bucket.

By this time.

(It’s good) Zhang Liang couldn’t bear the curiosity in his heart, so he found Ying Mu and expressed his doubts:

"'? Your Highness, this amount of food and grass can only feed the army for about ten days. After these days, what should we do?

Can you tell me your tricks, I'm really curious now! "

"Isn't this simple? There are cattle and sheep everywhere on the grassland. Aren't these just food and grass?"

Ying Mu said disapprovingly.

Zhang Liang naturally knew about this method.

Whether it is attacking forces or tribes on the grassland, they will definitely be able to bring back a large number of livestock.

This is enough for Qin Jun to stay for ten days and a half months.

In addition, Yingmu also has killer copper! .

Chapter 436: How is it possible to lack food and grass! (Please subscribe for support)

436 Food and Grass Lack

It was seven days after Ying Mu led the army to Baishui City.

Due to lack of food and grass.

The slaves who were supposed to build the city here a long time ago still stayed in Dragon City and did not bring them here.

Therefore, at this time, Baishui City has not undergone any earth-shaking changes except for the general scope drawn and some simple barracks.

"I've seen Your Highness, it's because I didn't do my job well, and I didn't investigate for a while, and was robbed of food and grass by the Xirong people. Please forgive me!"

Meng Tian rushed to see Ying Mu at the first time, he was very ashamed.

As a famous general of the Qin Dynasty.

He has also lost like this.

But the previous defeat had never brought him such a sense of shame.

Facing a force far inferior to his own.

I didn't notice it for a while.

Food and grass were taken away by them.

As a result, the action arrangements of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun had to be postponed.

"It's not your fault, get up!"

Ying Mu looked at Meng Tian 413 who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't mean to blame him.

Even he didn't think about it.

On the grassland, such a force would suddenly jump out to oppose them.

Originally thought that the Jurchen clan was already bold enough.

Unexpectedly, the Xirong people in the west also wanted to intervene.

Then don't blame him for how to retaliate later.

The so-called, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Ying Mu has never regarded himself as a gentleman, so the sooner the revenge, the better.

"Now, how long can the food and grass in the army last?"

Ying Mu looked at Meng Tian and asked.

"If this road is used by the army, it can last for more than ten days, but if it is going to follow the original plan, it will take a large number of slaves and hard workers to come here to build the city, there is no way to do it!"

Meng Tian said without hesitation.

this time.

He is bothered by these things.

Therefore, the matter of food and grass has long been deeply impressed in his mind, and he blurted out when he asked.

"Understood, you go to Longcheng according to the original plan, transfer all those Xiongnu slaves here, and continue the city building plan. I will deal with the food and grass!"

Ying Mu didn't bring much rations this time.

One-tenth of it has been used on the road.

If it is distributed to all the frontier troops, it is estimated that it will last a month.

This is absolutely not enough.

But because of the empty treasury.

There may be no more food supplies in the future.

Everything depends on their own efforts.

"Yes!,,

In fact, Meng Tian also knew about the emptiness of the national treasury, but seeing that His Highness the Grandson was so confident, he naturally thought that His Highness came with a large amount of food and grass.

So I didn't think too much about it.

Leave here directly, and start dispatching soldiers and horses to go to Dragon City to pick up those craftsmen and slaves.

"Your Highness..."

Xiao He who stayed by Ying Mu's side was a little worried.

Didn't wait for him to speak.

Ying Mu already guessed what he wanted to say, and interrupted him to say
