The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 251: Controversy between officials and ministers

The question of King Wei deserves everyone's consideration. After all, the state of Wei is now, although the state of Wei has taken a lot of territory after repeated battles.

But after all, it is a new land. The population resources on the territory cannot be fully utilized. King Wei can only recruit soldiers and horses from the original lands, and at most add some more to the Wei state. I miss the old people, but after the wars, these people almost died.

Today's Wei State, who can really fight, all add up to less than 30,000, but they have to stay in Wei's vast territory, and among those troops, there are still many soldiers whose morale is low and can't stand to fight again.

"Well, the minister suggested to leave 50,000 people among the counties and counties already occupied by Hadong County, pick out some Xiongcheng and counties to stay behind, and give up all other unimportant places!

As for the rest of the country, the most basic defensive forces are left. Except for the counties and counties facing Qiguo, all of them are withdrawn and concentrated on the battlefield between the Yuguo and the Qin. They will meet with the coalition forces. Fight against Qin together. "After much deliberation, the prime minister made this argument.

"What? The Prime Minister is not joking, right?" Wei Wang stood up from his throne in surprise, patted the desk with both hands, and looked at the old man in front of him with surprise.

"Yes, the Prime Minister, are you confused?" Dozens of ministers next to him were also talking, looking at the Prime Minister with surprise, and even some unceremonious people were already accusing him of being dim-eyed and unable to act.

This is not to blame them for being so surprised and angry. In order to take such a large territory, Wei Guo has nearly 50,000 people dead.

So many people are still young and strong, and the burden on Wei Guo can be said to be extremely heavy.

There is such a situation that can explain the problem. Before the war, the original county of the Wei Kingdom had more than 150,000 people. Among them, there were about 40,000 young men. They have all been drawn to the battlefield and used as cannon fodder on the front line. NS.

Of course, only these people are naturally unable to take such a large territory and drive the people of Qin into Hangu Pass step by step. Wei also recruited some soldiers and horses from the newly regained places.

A large number of young and strong men have been recruited, and local production has completely stalled, and even a large number of people have starved to death.

Because all the rations at the rear have to support the front lines, where does the rations come from? Naturally, it was the local people's food. Soldiers broke into their homes mercilessly and ransacked all their food. Even the food for the next spring was pulled away.

After paying such a big price, Wei Guo had to surrender half of the population to the hateful leader of the Union.

The remaining people have to recruit soldiers and horses, which are constantly consumed by the Wei State. It can be said that under the rule of Wei State, in addition to the original site before the war, the people on all the newly regained territories , For Wei Guo is extremely resentful.

The king master who was originally expected has become a brutal demon, who is strong and strong regardless of the target and the situation. As a result, everyone in the local family wears sackcloth and filial piety, their wives are scattered, and their families are destroyed. Can they not hate it?

If this situation had been known long ago, I am afraid that those people would rather still be under the rule of Qin and be treated harshly by the laws of Qin, rather than return to the homeland they once thought.

But now it's too late to say so much, and everything can't look back.

Qin Guo will not forget the fact of their betrayal, and they are also afraid that Qin will liquidate them in turn, so they can only grit their teeth and go forward with Wei Guo against their wishes.

Wei Guo paid such a big price to get such a place, but now, their prime minister has proposed to abandon the soon-to-be-finished Hedong County.

They also deployed local forces to suppress unstable defenders in various parts of the country, risking overturning at any time, and leading a large army to support their combined length.

This is really incredible, and it can't be accepted by these people.

Looking at the surprises of the ministers, his great king, and the implicit accusations, the old prime minister shook his head and said quietly:

"My lord, everyone, you have to think about it, if the Yuguo is defeated by Qin, and the 350,000 army in front of us disappears, then the Qin army that has completely freed up, who should resist?"

"Even if Qin State defeats Yu Guo, can he be well after victory? 950,000 army, if he can have his 50,000 left, he will stand up to the sky!" An old prime minister's political opponent next to him said disapprovingly .

"Yes, Master Si Kou is right, 50 thousand Qin army, I now have 30,000 strong army in Wei, Chu also has an army to the south, plus Zhao, can his Qin continue to be fierce? "" Under the faction of Master Si Kou, an official stood up and loudly supported.

As soon as the words of the two fell off, many ministers next to them nodded with a face, and whispered to each other, full of agreement~IndoMTL.com~Looking at the words of these people in front of you caused the camp. In, many people agreed, and even the king of Wei was intentionally moved. The old prime minister sneered a few times, and a bitter sound came out of his dull throat.

"My country, Wei, has 30,000 troops, but when the alliance is broken, how many troops will be needed to suppress the newly regained places, how many troops can my country of Wei send to resist Qin? I am afraid that 10,000 will be reluctant. Right! As for the State of Zhao and State of Chu, don’t they need to stay in a new place? How many soldiers and horses can they send to support my State of Wei, tens of thousands? Or 10,000, what can they do?"

A series of questions came out of the prime minister's mouth. His emotions were violent, and he was full of anger. In this house, there was no one with a long-term view, but only short-sighted people. He was blinded by this small interest in front of him. .

In fact, they didn’t want to think that if they hadn’t encountered the 30,000 army of Qin’s general Wang Jian, they would have to be trapped in Chenggaocheng County with the most elite and mobile force. Down.

Therefore, countries have the opportunity to enter, and arbitrarily swallowing bite after bite of fat in places where Qin's troops are insufficient, weakening Qin's strength to this level.

If the Yuguo really loses now, the Qin country that is freed up will have a mobile force ranging from 50,000 to 80,000.

For such a huge army, even if Qin's forces are exhausted and worn out by the war, it can still destroy Wei at will.

"This is because the king is thinking about it. The Prime Minister is right. I really cannot do without Yuguo!" Wei Wang sighed and felt exhausted. Now he really realizes that Wei is very good now. The situation turned out to be maintained in the hands of others.
