System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

A severe drought stopped the Qin Dynasty from conquering Yanqi.

The entire Qin State had to stop, recuperate and fight the disaster together.

"I heard that the king ordered to save the palace expenses, and even removed several large bronze lamps from the study room of Xianyang Palace." Wang Jian came over with a gossipy look.

"Yes, a large lamp uses one kilogram of oil a night, a small lamp three to five taels, and a wind lantern costs two to three taels an hour. The royal city consumes two thousand kilograms of oil a night." Many fish blurted out.

Wang Jian raised his forehead and teased: "Can you stop being so arrogant? After all, you are still a prince, and Bashu County is in charge of the land of abundance. No matter how severe the drought is, you will not be hungry."

Many fish complained: "Aren't you used to being poor? You can't live a prosperous life. Over there, buying slaves requires money. Over there, in Baiyue, large-scale land reclamation also costs money. Over there, horses are not cheap... …”

Wang Jian felt sad that this lord was not that easy to be. Everyone is asking for money, isn’t it the boss who is in trouble?

"Then will Great Qin attack Yan again?" Wang Jian asked cautiously.

Many fish gave him a hard look and spat: "Aren't you asking knowingly?"

What happened to the great drought in Qin? The main force of Wang Lu's army is still stationed in Zhao State, but they are farming on the spot, reclaiming military fields, and striving to satisfy the general's food supply.

If not, how could Qin Wangzheng be so frugal?

Fortunately, Li Si, who was good at internal affairs, and the officials who arrived later, also started a new policy to stabilize Zhao Guomin's governance.

Many Fish browsed through the documents on the desk before continuing: "The deposed prince of Zhao State took the remaining forces and fled to Dai County to establish the Kingdom of Dai."

"As long as he does not fall to the Xiongnu, your Majesty will give priority to the Yan Kingdom." Wang Jian was eager to try to conquer Yan.

Because Yan State has a long and narrow coastline and many natural havens, it is very suitable for sea attacks.

As long as Qin Wangzheng orders the attack on Yan, he will definitely implement the strategy of attacking from both sea and land!

Bashu County is silently preparing for a naval battle at any time. The shipyard has once again expanded its manpower and increased production capacity, focusing its production capacity on sea-going ships.

In recent years, the shipyard's river ship production has been enough to meet the needs of the Chamber of Commerce. Seeing that Ding'an Hou's strategic focus is on sea and land, it is natural to follow the policy and expand sea ships.

With the establishment of Dai State, King Yan seemed to feel the pressing pressure of Qin State, so he formed an anti-Qin alliance with Dai State.

Many Fish: "There is nothing surprising. The Yan State is such a wandering country. When the Chu State is strong, it is attached to the Qin State. When the Qin State is strong, it is attached to the Chu State. Now the Qin State is the only one, and it Just unite the country."

This is the way for Yan to find a way out. It is a small country and its national policies are more flexible and changeable than those of Chu and Wei.

The alliance between the two countries did not deter Da Qin. On the contrary, everyone in the world knew that after the autumn harvest this year, the Qin King's government attacked the Yan State.

The King of Qin even issued the deployment for the defeat of Yan early: the sea and land will advance simultaneously. The sea and land will be commanded by many fish, and the land will be led by Wang Lu. Yang Duanhe and Li Xin will serve as deputy generals, and the cavalry general Xin Sheng will be the general of the former army to destroy Yan.

Meng Tian defended the Xiongnu in the north, and at the same time cut off the Yan State's north passage connecting the Xiongnu and the Zhuhu.

Dun weakened his diplomatic staff and continued to use both civil and military means to erode the foundation of his temple.

Ma Xing was appointed as Guowei Cheng, assisting Wei Liao in the charge of grain, grass and transportation. Meng Yi was appointed as Chang Shi Cheng, assisting Li Si in handling state affairs with the King of Qin.

Li Si temporarily stayed in the State of Zhao and led the officials of the State of Qin to purge the old Zhao State's officialdom and stabilize the newly established Handan County, in order to lay the foundation for the destruction of Yan.

Just after the autumn harvest, while Wang Wanweiliao was still gathering food and baggage in a hurry, the Yan army had already set off.

Many fish marines also appeared on the coast of Yan State in a mighty manner. Their overwhelming momentum caused fear in the entire Yan State.

Many common people of Yan State along the coast moved their families inland.

"Write or surrender, it is up to King Yan to decide!" The King of Qin's political book brought by Dun Ruo made King Yan's face look as if his palette had been overturned, it was very ugly. Just when Duoyu was about to lead his army to land, King Yan sued for peace and the war was suspended.

The State of Yan sent a special envoy, Jing Ke, to go south to Xianyang to express his desire for peace to the King of Qin in public, but he did not expect that he would be bold enough to assassinate the King of Qin!

"Is Prince Yan crazy?" Wang Jian stood on the deck and clearly saw that there was no one on the coastline of Yan Kingdom.

"You are not crazy. Your Majesty is young and has no children, and he is in sole control of power. Once Jing Ke succeeds in his assassination, Da Qin will inevitably fall into civil strife. Not to mention that the Yan Kingdom will be able to survive for a few more years, and the opposition forces in Da Qin will also take the opportunity to cause trouble." Wang Ben was frightened for a while.

Many fish use Shu gauze to surround the lower half of their faces. The sea style in winter is so harsh that it makes people’s faces hurt.

Duoyu said: "Prince Yan is secretly gathering the remaining Zhao forces and has transferred back 100,000 border troops from Liaodong to fight us in a decisive battle."

"He is absolutely crazy!" Wang Jian said firmly.

Many fish chuckled: "Isn't this what we want? I think General Wang will also have a good time."

Prince Yan's move can be described as overestimating his own capabilities.

He gathered all his forces together, which saved the Qin army a lot of trouble.

Many Fish ordered: "We will attack Yan first, and then defeat the Dai army. Once Yan Dai mobilizes its army for battle, we will seize the beach and land, and attack from both sides with General Wang. We will determine the north in one battle!"

"Here!" Wang Jian cupped his fists.

Wang Ben said worriedly: "Prince Yan has transferred 100,000 border troops. If the Huns go south, won't our army be surrounded by enemies on all sides?"

Many fish laughed and said: "On the battlefield, the fewer the better. The more enemies the better. Let's work together and concentrate our efforts to destroy Yan Dai!"

Han Fei, who stayed in Bashu to look after the family, used the "Bashu News" to publicize the conquest of Yan at the suggestion of Xiao He, who had returned from Baiyue.

"Jin Ke's assassination of the Qin Dynasty was a move by the Prince of Yan to jump over the wall in a hurry, which made the magnanimous people laugh! 》

"The Marquis of Ding'an said that the Yan army was not fearful, and Dai Guo did not dare to send troops to rescue him."

"The latest strategic analysis: As long as Dai Guo does not send troops, the Yan State will be destroyed in the blink of an eye"

"On whether the Xiongnu will send troops south?" 》

The "Bashu County" fanned the flames, which made everyone in the Dai country very angry, and they all came forward to help the Yan country resist the Qin Dynasty.

"The Qin State is already powerful. If it swallows the Yan State again, will our country still have a foothold?"

"The territory of the Qin State has been experiencing severe droughts for many years. They will definitely not be able to fight a protracted war. As long as we and the Yan State can withstand a wave of Qin troops, they will definitely retreat before the spring plowing!"

"There are also Huns! Qin defends the Huns better than Sichuan. They are afraid that the Huns will go south, so they will not concentrate all their efforts on attacking Yan."

"Although Marquis Ding'an's navy is brave, we and Qi's navy combined, even if we use human lives to fill them, we can withstand them for a few days."

King Dai was convinced and not only sent troops to Yan State, but also sent people to Qi State to ask for help.
