"Could it be that the Crown Prince has foresight?"
At this moment, not only Ying Zheng, but all the ministers were also surprised.
The battle report from Mobei was only sent to Xianyang today, but the Crown Prince had already ordered people to start preparing provisions and soldiers three days ago?
Wasn't this too godlike?
Could it be that the Crown Prince had the ability to predict the future?
All of a sudden, the officials looked at each other in disbelief.
"Ye 'er, how did you know that there would be a war in the north of the desert?”
Ying Zheng was surprised for a moment, then asked in surprise and delight.
"Father, your son was assassinated a few days ago. Later, it was found out that it was the work of the Mo family's anti-Qin remnants!”
"In the process of capturing the Mohist rebels, someone confessed that the anti-Qin forces were colluding with the Xiongnu and Donghu to plot against the Central Plains!”
"For the sake of safety, your son has ordered people to make preparations in advance!”
"Once something happens to Mobei, you can immediately go to the rescue!”
Ying Ziye told her what happened a few days ago.
"Good!"
"As expected of Great Qin's Crown Prince!"
"As expected of my successor!"
"From the small details, you can deduce the overall situation and plan ahead!”
Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng could not help but exclaim in delight. At the same time, his eyes were filled with gratification and ecstasy.
It seemed that he had chosen the right Crown Prince!
Great Qin finally had a successor!
"Zhang Han, he immediately led 70,000 elites to escort the rations to the north of the desert to resolve the crisis of the Meng family army!”
"Internal historian, continue to prepare rations, purchase warhorses, and continue to supply Mobei!”
"Now that the treasury is full, I no longer have to worry about food and horses!”
Then, he issued two more decrees, his old face filled with joy.
In the past, every time there was a war in Mobei, he had to temporarily pay the salaries of the officials of the imperial court, and he had to reduce all expenses to prioritize the supply of the army.
But now, he did not have to worry about this anymore.
Not only was the treasury full, but Great Qin's gold was also being transported to Xianyang.
All the nobles and salt merchants in the world were almost copied.
The wealth they obtained was extremely shocking!
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Zhang Han and the internal historian quickly cupped their hands and accepted the order in unison.
"Your Majesty, the provisions are easy to prepare, but the warhorses…?”
Internal Secretary Zhi Su seemed to have thought of something and quickly opened his mouth.
However, he glanced at Ying Ziye and hesitated to speak.
The Living King of Hell didn't care about the difficulties. He only cared about the results. He was worried that he would anger the Living King of Hell and his entire family would lose their lives.
In fact, he was not the only one. The other ministers in the hall were also cautious.
As long as he opened his mouth, he would have to look at Ying Ziye's expression first.
It didn't matter if he angered the emperor. At most, he would be reprimanded. At worst, he would be dismissed from office.
However, it was different if they angered the Crown Prince. If it was light, their entire family would be executed, and if it was serious, their entire family would be executed.
Therefore, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"What about the warhorses?"
"Tell me quickly…!"
Seeing him stutter, Ying Ziye impatiently urged his father without waiting for him to speak.
"This warhorse is not easy to buy!"
"Our Great Qin doesn't have a horse farm, and almost all of our warhorses are bought from the Yue clan, Dawan, Xiongnu, and Donghu!”
"However, for some reason, the Xiongnu and Donghu have banned the trafficking of warhorses to Great Qin. Even the Yue family and Dawan no longer sell warhorses to Great Qin!”
"I heard that the Xiongnu and Donghu have been plotting for a long time to attack Great Qin and have deliberately cut off the supply of warhorses!”
"Now, even if I have money, I don't have a horse to buy!”
Internal Secretary Zhi Su observed Ying Ziye's expression while he explained the problem he was facing with trepidation.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's originally happy face was once again filled with worry.
"Indeed!"
"This time, out of the 70,000 soldiers I transferred, there are less than 2,000 cavalry. The rest are all infantry!”
"All the horses in the market have long been sold out. Moreover, there is a price but no market. No matter how high the price is, you can't buy them!”
"Now, all the warhorses that can be used have been sent to Mobei and Baiyue. There are not many left in Xianyang!”
As soon as the internal historian finished speaking, Zhang Han started to complain.
"That's right!"
"Warhorses are used up very quickly. Some warhorses can only be ridden for a few months before they can no longer be ridden because of the wear and tear on their hooves.”
"Now, not to mention Mobei, even our warhorses are about to be eliminated!”
"At the end of last month, there were still a thousand elite cavalry, but this month, there are not even five hundred!”
"We have soldiers, but no horses to ride!"
Wang Ben continued the conversation and told them about the current situation with a sigh.
"Isn't that Wu Shiluo always transporting warhorses?”
"I heard that he has countless warhorses. Why don't you buy them from him?”
Ying Ziye frowned and asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, I've looked for him, but he doesn't have a warhorse!”
"According to him, the surrounding Xiongnu, Donghu, Dawan, and Yue four countries only sell cattle and sheep to him. They are strictly prohibited from selling warhorses to him!”
"I've already offered ten times the price, but he's not selling!”
"From this, it can be seen that he doesn't have a warhorse. Otherwise, it's impossible that he wouldn't be tempted by the tenfold price!”
Internal Secretary Zhi Su shook his head helplessly.
"Wu's Nude?"
Hearing this name, Ying Ziye's heart moved.
This was a person who would be recorded in history!
He was the chief of the Wu Family and had a good business mind.
According to historical records, he took the treasures of Great Qin to the Xiongnu King and exchanged them for ten times the number of horses, cattle, and sheep.
Finally, they would sell the warhorses and cattle back to Great Qin at ten times the price!
Just like that, he became the richest man in the world!
It was said that he had so many horses and cows that it was impossible to count them all.
Not only that, but he was also a smooth talker. He did not offend anyone and was on good terms with everyone. He was the guest of honor of the kings of the various countries!
"If even the Wu's don't have warhorses, then you can't buy them anywhere else!”
"Sigh…!"
Hearing what he said, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the reason why the Meng army suffered such heavy losses this time is because they don't have enough warhorses and cavalry!”
"Therefore, we can't fight the Xiongnu head-on. We can only defend the city!”
"If we don't have enough cavalry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue the war in the north of the desert!”
A travel-worn general with a tattered cloak and armor covered in dried blood suddenly cupped his hands and said.
He was a lieutenant sent by Meng Tian to deliver a letter back to Xianyang. He fought desperately to break out of the encirclement.
He was also the person who understood the war in Mobei the most!
Therefore, when he spoke, everyone fell silent!
