Daqin: I Wanted to Fish, but Was Caught by the First Emperor to Marry Him

"The 80 of them are not all in one place, and naturally the 40 cavalry will not be in one place easily..."

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you stay in one place easily?"

"Because their horses, cattle and sheep have to graze..."

Li Xing said with a smile, "This grassland nomadic farming is no better than the cultivated fields in the Central Plains. Our people in the Central Plains are still guarding a field by one person, and they will be able to eat enough in the coming year. Their flock of sheep will eat half of the mountain, and if the Huns gather in one place, wouldn’t their horses, cattle and sheep starve to death?”

"Oh? Huh? Yes!"

After Ying Zheng listened to it, he suddenly became enlightened, "It makes sense, it does make sense! So they will not get together easily... Then what does Qing mean, defeat each of them?"

"Not all of them, Your Majesty..."

Li Xing said with a smile, "If we want to defeat it, then the number of cavalry we sacrificed is too large..."

what?

After Ying Zheng listened, the fox questioned, "What do you mean by this? Does it mean that we only go out and don't fight?"

0 ･･･ Flowers 0 ･･･

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is what I mean..."

Li Xing said with a smile, "In the early stage, it must be only out and not fighting..."

what?

Early?

Moreover, is it really only going out and not fighting?

So, what is it for?

"If you only attack without fighting, what is the intention? What is the purpose? What is the effect?"

"Your Majesty, of course it's for wasting money."

耗？

Consume what?

What does this consume?

"Waste what?"

Ying Zheng was puzzled and asked, "This consumption, can these Xiongnu soldiers be consumed to death?"

"Naturally, the Xiongnu soldiers will not die, we will consume their rear!"

Li Xing smiled, "This is the purpose we should have."

"Consume their rear?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a while, and then suddenly his eyes lit up and he understood.

 …  

"I, understand!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Isn't this the way that I, Da Qin, used it back then. It didn't violate my farming time, but when the harvest came, I had to go out to fight against Zhao Wei?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, that's exactly what happened."

Li Xing smiled, it seems that Qin Shihuang is still Qin Shihuang, and he is indeed keen.

This principle is the same as when Qin attacked Zhao Wei in the Central Plains.

Just when your grain is harvested, my farmer is harvesting grain, and your side wants to harvest?

I'll send troops out directly, either to snatch or to destroy!

If so, isn't your livelihood destroyed by me?

Nominally, it is to siege the city and loot the land, but in fact, even if the city cannot be taken down, my goal has been achieved!

This trick is very sinister, and it has been tried and tested.

After a few more experiments, Zhao Wei and the two countries were almost numb from the harassment of the Qin army!

Because the food that these farmers were waiting for was robbed and destroyed, not to mention that they could still pay taxes to the state, they would have to starve to death!

So, what is the role of these farmers?

There are almost no, or even side effects.

Because they will become refugees, all kinds of refugees who try to survive, make Zhao Wei countries suffer too much.

And take this trick to deal with the Huns, the reason is the same.

The Huns had no arable land, no food, that's right.

However, their cattle, horses and sheep are their rations!

As long as their grazing team is harassed and their cattle, horses and sheep are not allowed to eat and live, they will naturally lose a lot!

This ration is lost, can the Huns not panic?
