This time, Qin Shihuang was truly stunned.
An economic war?
What the f * ck was this?
"Old Wang, you're too stupid." Ye Tian sighed."First, we'll create the illusion of a famine in Henan (bordering the Xiongnu) and then send someone to spread the rumors to let the Xiongnu know. Then, General Meng Tian will pretend that there's no food and that he doesn't have enough to eat. For example, some soldiers will faint during training or fall off their horses.”
"This way, there will be two outcomes. First, the Xiongnu will take advantage of this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack. If this is the case, they will not hesitate to catch the turtle in the jar and kill it.”
"Secondly, the Xiongnu will not move. We will show weakness to the enemy and buy rations from them. If they are unwilling, we will raise the price. As long as it is high enough, it will be enough to make people go crazy.”
"Don't worry about the money. This thing is important and unimportant. If it's placed in the national treasury, it won't be able to give birth to two children except for ashes.”
Qin Shi Huang narrowed his eyes. He held a wine cup in one hand and stroked his chin with the other.
It seemed to have a little taste.
He had been conquering the world for so many years, and since he had a way to destroy the six dynasties, it was naturally not simple. He had his own way of fighting.
Now, it was like looking at flowers in the fog. There was a feeling but it was unclear.
It was as if there were ants crawling in his heart, making him feel anxious.
"Brother Ye, quickly tell me, I really can't take it anymore.”
Meng Yi's face was flushed red. He gritted his teeth, unbuttoned his shirt, and reached his hand into it to take out a money bag. He slammed it on the table and threw out an ingot of gold.
"Little brother, this is really all my money. If you don't tell me, I'll feel bad.”
Ye Tian and Ying Zheng were dumbfounded by this extremely skilled movement.
It was obvious that he was a repeat offender!
Pouring himself a glass of wine, Ye Tian held the gold in his hand without leaving a trace." Old Meng, don't worry," he said happily." Listen to me slowly. As the saying goes, good things take time."”
"It's June now, and there's still a month before the Xiongnu harvest. According to my understanding, they have always had a lot of harvest, so they naturally don't mind selling a portion of it. When the time comes, use the money to buy as much as you can.”
"What happens after you sell it out?"
Ying Zheng blurted out. Seeing that the window paper was about to be pierced through, seeing that the answer was about to come out, he still could not grasp it.
"The Xiongnu have never been short of food, so they don't value food that much in their hearts. In addition, they are buying it at a high price. Do you think they are willing to let go of this opportunity to make a fortune? In addition, two months later, it would be the season for a bumper harvest, so they would definitely take out all the grain stored in the national treasury. There would not be much left.”
"At that time, can we still stand there? Have you forgotten our principles? That was to use everything possible and burn them all down.”
Ye Tian raised his voice and rubbed his hands, his eyes shining with a golden light as he gulped.
"Hehe, when the time comes, they will be the ones starving. Won't our money fly back obediently?”
Hiss!
Qin Shi Huang gasped, his face full of shock.
To be honest, this scheme couldn't be any simpler. It could even be considered crude.
He was using the Xiongnu people's subconscious mentality of not looking at the food and grass.
F * ck!
This kid's heart was really black. He could even calculate this.
But it was this simple method that no one had thought of before Ye Tian spoke.
Qin Shihuang had never thought of unifying the six dynasties for more than ten years.
His idea was to store up as much food as possible so that the soldiers would be fat and the horses would be strong. When the time came, they would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
How could there be so many twisted intestines?
They had never thought that they would use Great Qin's lack of rations as an excuse.
Now that he thought about it, it was really a good idea.
"High, really high." Meng Yi let out a long breath. This feeling of being enlightened was great.
He couldn't help but admire Ye Tian.
This plan seemed to be tailor-made for the Xiongnu, because in the Central Plains, most generals understood the importance of grain.
"Brother Ye, I want to ask again. It shouldn't be that easy to burn everything down.”
Meng Yi asked again with the principle of asking if he didn't understand.
He had learned this to perfection.
"Not bad, Old Meng. You're smart." Ye Tian praised.
This made Meng Yi's face lit up, as if this was something to be proud of.
"You just happened to forget about Donghu, but that's normal. After all, you're not a strategist. Donghu was on the verge of collapse under the Xiongnu army. With such a good opportunity, do you think they would give up? Donghu and Xiongnu are mortal enemies!"
Qin Shi Huang was stunned at first, but then he understood. He scolded with a smile. This kid had actually secretly schemed against Donghu.
"As for how to establish a friendship with Donghu first, be it His Majesty or the two brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian, they are not easy to deal with.”
"Oh right, Old Wang, when the time comes, we can go to the Hundred Yue Land and take a walk. There are many poisonous insects there.”
