Chapter 355: Going Against the Wind, the Famous Will Come Out

The wind rises suddenly, and the autumn is infinite. When the grass covered the ground, the situation in the north became tense almost overnight.

The news that the people of the Qin State united with the Hu cavalry to raise troops in a big way, and the warning was everywhere through the flying horses, which was already known to everyone. The land of Yan and Zhao was close to many counties near Yanshan, and they all immediately entered a state of war. In recent years, dozens of commodity circulation places that have gradually formed a scale in this area have also been quickly closed and evacuated. The merchants and tycoons from all walks of life in the world had to retreat south with their goods. All of a sudden, several important passages were noisy and unusually busy.

"It's really unexpected that the people of the Qin State would join forces with Hu Qi! They have killed so many barbarians over the years, and the barbarians and Hutong sects are of the same lineage, will King Hu really obey the call of King Qin? ”

On the bustling avenue, several caravans temporarily stopped on the side of the road to rest. When several big businessmen from different places gathered together to talk about the impending war, there was inevitably a sense of unease in their tones. Many of them have had great luck over the years, and thanks to the blessing of open circulation vigorously advocated by King Zhao, they seized this rare opportunity and brought countless wealth to the family. And once the war of Zhao broke out, it would be a trivial matter to bring temporary losses, and if the trade route was blocked because of this, it would be a result that everyone did not want to see. And everyone's anger was naturally concentrated on the people of Qin.

"What's so doubtful about this! I think that the ancestors of the Qin people were originally born from a branch of inferior barbarians. They made meritorious contributions to Zhou Tianzi's horse herding and gained trust. Later, by chance, he was given a seal to the wild land outside Hangu Pass. It's kind of a place to live...... Later, they continued to expand and annex, and only then did they have the current scale. It is in his nature to rely on strength to plunder savagely. Now for the sake of the common enemy, they have joined forces to collude in a vain attempt to destroy Zhao with absolute strength, what is the blame?!"

"It's disgusting! Can't these guys just stay in their place? They have to invade other people's territory. Even everyone is in turmoil...... Alas! I only hope that King Zhao can lead his soldiers and teach these guys a lesson. Let them no longer dare to casually raise troops to invade the border. ”

These angry words immediately resonated with everyone. Hundreds of people near and far had excited looks on their faces. If there is anything to rely on in everyone's hearts, it is King Zhao's invincibility. In the old days, no matter how powerful the enemy, they had been met with much the same fate. Thousands of troops fought with iron and blood, but all ended in failure. Over time, in all the areas that King Zhao's will could reach, he had become the embodiment of undefeated. However, there are people who clearly have a different perception.

"Zhao Guo will win! There's no doubt about it. Whether it is the Qin people or the Hu people, they will not really understand how strong the Zhao State has become! If you still rely on the bravery of the soldiers and the superiority of the cavalry to win, I am afraid that it is a big mistake. ”

This one is generous, and he is clearly insightful. And the people around him who know the details know that this businessman surnamed Gong with a deep background has a close relationship with the political doctors of the Zhao court. Everyone couldn't help but crane their necks to hear what was going on.

The man named Gong Sheng was also a wealthy businessman in his family. And how everything in the family came about, he knows better than anyone else. Only in this way, he, like many people, has long been the most loyal admirer of Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao. Since ancient times, it is difficult to guess the will of heaven, and if there is really someone in this world who can uphold the will of heaven, it must be King Zhao! At this moment, Gong Sheng stood on a high place, looking at the gathered businessmen, and felt that it was the time to inspire King Zhao. He cleared his throat and raised his voice.

"The big guys come from all over the world. Some came from the coast of the East China Sea, some came from Lingnan, some came from the southwest Shudi, and there were even more perennial people who went out of Yanzhao to sell furs and horses to and from the grassland...... And no matter where you come from, I'm sure you've all heard of the prophecy that has been spread all over the world, right? ”

There was silence all around. Some people seem to have guessed what he was going to say. There was an excited look on their faces. Sure enough, what they heard later confirmed their suspicions.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty is exhausted, and the kings of the four seas are gathering in Dragon City! Chu Shixing, be the king of the world!"

The wind howled through the sky. Under the northern sky, a desolate air swirled around. It seems that there are dragon scales and claws flying, revealing their grandeur. The merchants, who represent a new kind of backbone, finally clearly say what they believe and hope for in their hearts. And this will eventually become more and more the consensus of all people in the world.

"Zhao Guo will win! King Zhao will win...... Long live Zhao Jun! Long live King Zhao!"

Because of the huge benefits brought by this young king, the representatives of the Shangjia Group couldn't help but shout together. This is their cry from the bottom of their hearts. And such demands do not only exist in the hearts of businessmen. Whether it is the aristocratic group, the generals in the army, or countless ordinary people, they all have the same desire.

"If the people of the Qin State blockade Hangu Pass and concentrate all their forces to hold on to their one-third of an acre, they may be able to survive for a few years. But now that they have raised an army to challenge the country, the most likely result is the annihilation of the entire army, providing the most favorable conditions for King Zhao to unify the world. Hehe! As for the Hu people in the north, I dare to assert that as long as they step on Yanshan, they will never be able to go back......!"

Hearing Gong Sheng's affirmative tone, the originally excited crowd slowly calmed down. These people are still very confident that Zhao Guo can achieve the final victory. But that takes time. In a war of this magnitude, if you want to determine the winner or loser, the most optimistic estimate is probably that it will take a few years. And in this, both the winner and the loser are bound to pay a heavy price. If it is as easy as Gong Sheng said, then King Zhao is not a human, but a god.

"We all agree with what Brother Gong said. But in the face of the pressure of the soldiers, King Zhao must also face many difficulties...... In any case, we have received great favor from him, and we must do our best to help Zhao Jun. Although you can't go into battle to kill the enemy, it's okay to support as much as possible financially. After arriving in Dragon City, I am willing to give half of my family wealth to King Zhao, which can be regarded as a contribution to this war. ”

"Of course, of course! This is our duty. All kinds of money and things can be taken out by the big guys. I'll take half of ...... too!"

"We agree! They are all willing to help King Zhao with money. That's it. ”

An imperceptible smile swept across the corners of his eyes, Gong Sheng glanced at the people around him, and both of them nodded with satisfaction. Now that the inspirational goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue.

The man who pretends to be a servant is actually an excellent spy of the Thousand Machine Pavilion. There are many more people like him. Their task, on the one hand, is to keep these businessmen safe. On the other hand, naturally, a lot of preparations were made for the sake of the overall situation of the war.

"Mr. Gong's sponsorship, he will be the king of Zhao one day!"

The spy arched his hand in gratitude. Gong Sheng showed surprise on his face. Of course, he understood the weight of the sentence. In fact, he actively contacted a large number of businessmen and served King Zhao, and indeed made great contributions. If it is rewarded handsomely in the future, the glory of the family is worth looking forward to.

"The work of dogs and horses, what a lot of worry. These are the things we should do! It's just that the Hu cavalry should not be underestimated. The people who fled back from the outside of the fortress still have lingering palpitations when they talk about the overwhelming momentum of the hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen. This time, it was King Hu Moke who personally led the troops, but you must report the real situation to King Zhao in detail!"

The Thousand Machines Pavilion spy frowned slightly, and he hesitated slightly. Finally, it was decided to tell the merchants a little bit of news, so as to strengthen their confidence.

"Don't worry too much. A few days ago, King Zhao had already received news from the Hu people. Presumably, a full deployment has already been made at this time. If the expectation is good, maybe there will be a great battle in the depths of the steppe this time...... Hehe! King Hu's lair is at the junction of the grassland and the desert. For a hundred years, no Central Plains people have ever been able to reach ...... But now, King Zhao will never let us down!"

His meaning was more subtle, though. But who is Gong Sheng? He covered his mouth in shock, almost screaming. If he doesn't understand what these words mean, then he's stupid.

If so...... King Zhao is really an unprecedented person!"

Tears welled up in the corners of Gong Sheng's excited eyes. If it weren't for the fear of leaking military information, he would almost have fallen to the ground and bowed a few times in the direction of Dragon City.

For more than 100 years, with the growing power of the Hu people in the north, these barbaric guys have become more and more a big problem for the people of the Central Plains. If it can really be eradicated in one fell swoop, all people will be born and the world will be well-being. It will definitely be tied to King Zhao from now on!

The spy nodded, no more. Ever since they heard the grassland battle plan deployed by King Zhao, these people who had been fighting with the Hu scouts in the darkness north of Yanshan all year round had already made up their minds to take this as a precursor. If we can see the final victory of this century-old war, everyone will have no regrets even if they die!

In the north and south of Yanshan, the beacon fire was ignited. The crowd of people who retreated to the south one after another, when they finally looked back to the north, they could already see the dust covering the sky and the sun. The cavalry of the Hu people finally stepped across Yanshan and swept over the ground within a range of hundreds of miles.

Most of those who were still unaware of the situation withdrew their gaze and continued south with a heavy heart. At the same time, there was a retrograde team heading north against the smoke. The general, who was immediately on the peaks of Yanshan Mountain, looked at the vast land in the distance, as if he had seen the boundary of the grassland. A glorious and magnificent road of killing is unfolding on the tip of his lance that cuts through the sky.

"Let's go!"
