Before you know it, spring has begun.

It's already the planting season.

With the Quyuan plow, the amount of land that a common person could cultivate increased a lot, so that in the counties where Wang Sheng cultivated fields, the amount of land that could be cultivated also increased a lot.

As the fields become more abundant, the harvest in the autumn harvest will also increase.

Food, no matter what time, is hard currency.

Much more valuable than coins.

Coins only have the attribute of currency, but this grain not only has the attributes of currency, but also has the attributes of commodities.

Spring has begun.

Not only is it the time for the snow and ice to melt and for planting and sowing, but for today's world, it is also the best time to mobilize for war.

Even as far away as Hongnong, Wang Sheng felt that the cloud of war was gradually approaching him.

but...

War has nothing to do with his farming order.

Now, he just needs to plant the seeds well.

and...

Suspicions abound about this war, but whether it can be fought or whether it will be fought is also unknown.

first...

Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, is not a rash person, and he knows what this battle means to him. Judging from the news Wang Sheng received from Yuzhou, Sima Yun is on the defensive. If he wants him to attack, I am afraid that unless Luo

Yang's emperor put pressure on him.

As for King Sima Ji of Qi.

He originally wanted to marry the King of Hejian, but unfortunately, all the daughters he married are now in his hands. Sima Bing was imprisoned by him and has not been released yet.

Naturally, the marriage with the King of Hejian will not happen.

Even if it is successful, given the character of King Hejian, he may not really dare to take risks with King Qi.

Furthermore...

The calculation in the King of Hejian's mind was that both of them would suffer losses, and then he would come out to reap the benefits.

However...

Everyone is smart.

King Qi is also a smart man.

There was the King of Hejian standing across it, and the King of Qi also protected a lot.

In fact, it's not that he is unconservative.

First of all, there are not many kings under him who can take advantage of them.

A group of kings gathered together, and some even directly became a burden.

For example, in terms of food.

It was originally enough food for a winter, but it turned out that among the lies reported by the sect kings, there was an unknown amount of food and grass.

The key is...

He can't punish these kings yet.

After all, they are in the same boat as him. If he is punished, the alliance he finally formed may not be able to maintain it.

This also made it difficult for the king of Qi to continue to supply food and grass.

Especially since he repeatedly conscripted troops, food and grass became even more unsustainable.

This is also the reason why King Huainan shrank.

On the Yuzhou battlefield, in terms of military strength, King Qi had many more soldiers than he did.

It would be unwise to attack at this time.

However, sometimes, it depends on the opponent whether to attack or not.

Regarding this matter, the King of Qi held a war mobilization meeting in Dingying City.

Those who participated in this conference were naturally the various sect kings.

Among them, Sima Yi, the king of Changshan, Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, and the king of Xinye sat in the upper position, and the younger princes were at the bottom.

"Spring has begun, and we have to go to Luoyang as soon as possible. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to sustain our supplies."

"What King Qi said is true. Spring is a good time to go to war. If we don't succeed this year, I'm afraid we won't have much spare power next year."

Sima Yi helped Sima Jiong as always.

At this time, King Nanyang snorted coldly and said, "What do you say, King Hejian? Without the cooperation of King Hejian, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to accomplish anything?"

King Nanyang now puts all his wealth on King Qi's side.

Regarding this matter, he must be extremely cautious.

After all, the emperor of Luoyang had already eliminated his capital.

Although it is only a nominal elimination of the country and no troops have been sent out yet,...

Once the King of Qi fails, he, the King of Nanyang, will be eliminated in every sense of the word.

"I have not received a reply from the King of Hejian. Ever since Marquis Guangyuan went to Hongnong Wei County and other places to farm, the communication between me and the King of Hejian has been cut off."

Wang Sheng carefully examined the passing merchants starting from Tongguan, and arranged manpower for each city and each pass. It was really difficult for the King of Qi to deliver the letter to the King of Hejian.

but...

The news about King Qi is not so closed.

At the very least, the news that his son and daughter were detained by Wang Sheng had already been known.

Not to mention now...

They were afraid of chaos in the army.

"But... I have sincerity in marrying my daughter to him. I think the King of Hejian should know how to do it. After all, the children's in-laws, if we fail and pursue the case, the King of Hejian should not think about being able to get away with it.

past."

"That's good."

King Nanyang breathed a sigh of relief and finally let go of his worries.

"King Qi...how are you going to fight?"

Sima Yi's eyes lit up and he asked such a question.

"I have a large army, but the King of Huainan is also frantically repairing the city in one winter. If we want to attack by force, we will probably lose a lot of manpower. It would be best if we can outwit him."

"King Qi has an idea?"

Sima Jiong shook his head and said, "If I had an idea, I wouldn't have summoned you all here."

"After all, King Huainan is cautious and has the ability to command troops. In my opinion, a strong attack may not be possible. If Luoyang can replace King Huainan, that would be great."

Replace King Huainan?

Qi King Sima Jiu shook his head quickly.

"If Marquis Guangyuan comes back because of this, I would rather deal with King Huainan."

The King of Huainan is a turtle with a very hard shell that is difficult to break.

Marquis Guangyuan is a poisonous snake and tiger, waiting in the dark. If you reveal a flaw, he will bite you immediately, which will be a fatal blow!

Does Sima Jiong know how his country of Runan and Liang was lost?

"I don't think there is any need for any infuriating and clever plan. We have a large number of people, with hundreds of thousands of troops. We can capture Yingchuan and approach Luoyang immediately. It won't be a problem."

Does the King of Nanyang know their power?

There are three to four hundred thousand people.

For the 100,000 people of King Huainan.

What are you afraid of?

"Yes, instead of thinking of some strategies, it is better to capture the city. In addition... I know that Luoyang's food supply is unsustainable, otherwise he would not send Guangyuan Marquis to garrison the fields, and neither would the southern expeditionary army in Yingchuan.

As for not adding more troops, we can't attack Yingchuan. As long as we continue to waste our troops, I think they will be the ones who can't support us."

The King of Qi plundered a lot of food and grass in Yuzhou, but the King of Huainan did not have the courage to plunder the people's food and grass.

As for the grain and grass transported from Luoyang to Yuzhou, I don't know how much it will be lost along the way.

Sima Jiong had too many mouths under his hands, so he could not sustain his food supply. In fact...

He had connections with Li Te, Li Xiong and others in Yangzhou and even Yizhou, and he could also buy grain and grass.

If this war of attrition continues, the first person who will find it difficult to support him is Luoyang.

And after he has trained 400,000 people on the battlefield, the remaining 100,000 people who survived will be elites.

By then...

He only has enough food and grass.

Thinking of this, Sima Jiong also made up his mind.
