"Your son has a plan that can solve the grain problem of the Bai Yue!”
As soon as the First Emperor finished speaking, Ying Zi spoke with certainty.
"Oh?"
"Tell me what you have in mind!"
Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat as he quickly asked.
After conquering the Bai Yue for several years, only Xi Ou and Luo Yue remained unconquered.
And the tribes of these two places joined together to form the Ou Luo Army!
Their leader Jie Jun was also brave in battle. Not only did he heavily injure Tu Ju's army, but he also cut off the supply route.
The two batches of grain that were transported to Ou Luo had both landed in the hands of the Ou Luo tribe.
If they could solve the problem of food supply, then the destruction of the Ou Luo tribe would be just around the corner!
"Since the mountain roads and grain routes have been cut off, we'll use the water route to transport food!”
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Ying Ziye revealed his plan.
In fact, this was something that had happened in history.
At that time, Tu Ju had attacked the Bai Yue with unstoppable force and everything had started off smoothly.
However, in Xi Ou and Luo Yue, they suffered defeat.
Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but their supply routes were also cut off. The remaining 200,000 soldiers were isolated and helpless.
Later on, Qin Shihuang thought of a brilliant plan. After several months, he finally thought of a way.
That was to dig the spiritual canal, connecting the Xiang River and Li River, and directly transport the grain to the Qin army through the waterway.
Now that the rations were secured, the morale of the Qin army rose greatly, and they disappeared from the Bai Yue tribes.
"We have thought of using water to transport grain, but our Great Qin does not have a water route to Ou and Luo!”
Ying Zheng thought that it was some brilliant plan, but he did not expect it to be this.
He sighed in disappointment and shook his head.
"That's right. The Grand Commandant ordered someone to draw a map of the water channels of the Yue Kingdom on a piece of silk cloth. However, because the water channels were blocked, the plan to transport grain by water was abandoned!”
Li Si said.
At this time, he no longer treated Ying Ziye as a silkpants.
Instead, they treated him as a colleague and studied the Baiyue dilemma together.
Previously, they had falsely accused Ying Ziye of getting the news in advance, so he knew the current battle situation like the back of his hand.
However, this kid could speak clearly and logically!
If it was an ignorant and incompetent silkpants, even if they had received the news in advance, they would not have said it so clearly!
As such, he felt that Great Qin's number one silkpants was not as simple as he seemed.
"Right now, we are researching how to open up other grain routes to supply the Yue!”
"However, the soldiers who were sent out to search for the path have not returned yet.”
"We have no other choice but to wait!”
Meng Yi and the other ministers also put away their contempt and started discussing with Ying Ziye.
"Imperial Father, can you show your son the water path map?”
Ying Ziye had wanted to draw a map of Lingnan himself, but hearing that it was already done, that would be great!
The marshal was in charge of the military, equivalent to the Minister of War of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
He was not surprised that they could draw a water channel map after a long period of war.
"Hmm…!"
Ying Zheng spread out a roll of silk cloth on the dragon table and waved at Ying Ziye." The map is with me. Come and take a look!"”
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
Ying Ziye walked over. When he saw the map on the silk cloth, he almost laughed out loud.
This map was too simple.
There were only a few lines on it, which marked the name of the river.
There were also more than ten circles that marked the names of the mountains.
In addition, there was a curve that looked like an earthworm, which seemed to be the Qin army's grain route.
The only thing worth celebrating was that the person who drew the map had marked the approximate location of the enemy and the enemy.
However, although it was simple, it was enough for Ying Ziye to act tough.
"Imperial Father, your son has a way to open up a water transportation channel.”
Ying Ziye stared at the water channel map for a moment and finally recognized the names of the water channels.
"What is it?"
Ying Zheng's head also moved over. The father and son's heads were next to each other as they studied the water channel map.
"The Li River goes directly to Luoyue and is very close to our Great Qin army!”
"This place in Xiang River is the closest to Li River. If a canal is opened up to connect the Xiang River and Li River, wouldn't it be possible to open up a waterway and transport food to the army!”
Ying Ziye pointed at the two waterways on the map and gave his father an idea.
"That's right! This way, they could gather food from the Xiang River and quickly transport it to the Bai Yue!”
"Brilliant plan!"
"What a brilliant plan!"
"Haha…!"
Ying Zheng thought about it carefully and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He slapped the dragon table and shouted excitedly.
The problem that had troubled him for two days was finally solved.
Once the water transportation channel was opened, it would not be long before they wiped out the Yue!
"Your Majesty, can we take a closer look?”
Li Si and the others were curious to see how happy the First Emperor was.
They also wanted to see what kind of canal Ying Ziye had opened.
"Good, good…!"
"Everyone, quickly come and take a look. This one guarantees that Ye 'er's brilliant plan will make all of you lose wholeheartedly!”
"Haha…!"
Ying Zheng placed his hands behind his back and laughed happily.
On the side, Huhai and Zhao Gao's faces were as dark as water. Both of them had a bad premonition.
They were most likely going to lose today's bet!
However, losing or winning was not a big deal. What they were most worried about was that they might not be able to keep their position as Crown Prince!
"This, this…?"
"Why didn't I think of opening a canal here yesterday? Sigh…"
"Wonderful, wonderful…!"
"Nine Hall His Highness has won, this old man has lost wholeheartedly!”
After all the civil and military officials saw Ying Ziye's plan, they were all deflated.
Because they knew that their house would definitely lose today!
They couldn't quibble even if they wanted to.
However, many of the officials were somewhat regretful. Why didn't they think of this yesterday?
