422 Qi is not far behind

The approval of the concession is being issued. But Qin's highways were a bit congested. Because the road is full of horse-drawn carriages. These wagons deliver everything. Plus military exercises. This makes the very spacious highway seem much narrower.

The gendarmes with white armbands ran back and forth to clear the traffic. The road is barely clear.

This is true not only of northern roads. Even the newly built highway to Luoyang is the same.

The roads were full of cavalry, artillery. Infantry. Horse-drawn carts loaded with supplies followed. The gendarmes shuttled back and forth to guide them. The cause of the severe blockage is: When the highway was designed and built. Temporary rest sites are not considered. Either there's a rest stop. But it is not possible to accommodate so many vehicles, personnel at once. As a result, many vehicles had to be parked on the road. This blocked the road.

The gendarmes rode on horseback and quickly solved the problem. Tear down a certain amount of barbed wire. Temporarily allow sappers to expand rest sites. At the same time, it was reported to the General Staff and asked to coordinate the transport steps.

Same as the last exercise. Not sure why. This problem did not arise when the Qin State was at war. However, this problem always occurs during exercises. This was a great headache for some officers. So, they rode down and arranged the procession themselves.

To relieve stress. For the first time, the Qin state used trains to transport troops. However, the capacity of the train is very limited. The trains of the Qin State still used the first generation of locomotives. And the carriage is still horse-drawn carriage style. And not the box type that came later. The horse-drawn carriage style emphasizes comfort. And not his carrying capacity. And the number of trains sent is very limited. Two in the morning and two in the afternoon. The train stops in the dark.

And the distance of transportation is very limited. The laying of the rails was already overdone for those slaves. From Xianyang to Hanguguan. It took them two months to complete. This is already a miracle. But for those officers. This is not enough. They complained very much about the guy who designed the train. If he knew, he would have beaten him hard with the butt of his gun. Only one company at a time. In one day, it was transported to Hangu Pass. It's fast, but it's nothing. Under whose command.

The low transport capacity of the trains, the complaints are great. This has also led to the upgrading of trains. But it will take time. Far water can't save the thirst of the near. The military managers could only watch, and the soldiers with their bags happily took the train tickets and boarded the train to Hangu Pass. Military spending also comes up with the money for train tickets. A train ticket costs one and a half taels. No wonder, Princess Wenyang of Great Qin became the richest man in Great Qin.

In the army of mobilized troops. There are also militias involved. Their clothes are very plain. But he was holding an old standard weapon, the Wenyang musket. There were no eight of them in a carriage to Luoyang. Due to backward equipment. The clothes are also very ordinary. The orthodox officers of the Qin State were all dismissive of them. Because, many of them came back from the front and wore silver medals on their chests. This is awarded by the State of Qin to those who have special military exploits. Compared to the previous knighthood system. The soldiers preferred this small medallion made of different metals. On the front there is not only the totem of the Qin State. Xuanniao. It also has its own name on the back. Date of Decoration, Battle Merit. There is also a lot of money behind these medals. They had land ranging from 100 to 500 acres in the newly occupied areas. There is also a large amount of reward. Convert it. This previous knighthood reward is much more.

This is also the capital for officers to gather together to talk and laugh. Compared with. Those militias were dull a lot. These militias are actually South Korea's new army. They came by carriage from the Blue Sky Camp of the Qin State. On the surface, they were the militia of the Qin State. In fact, they were secretly mobilizing. To keep it a secret. The reunification of the new army in South Korea does not allow it to speak. Moreover, there is gendarmerie control. No one in the Qin army was willing to pay attention to these militias. After all, there is a difference between the regular army and the militia. Service competition has given the Army a subconscious that it is not competition. They are also reluctant to deal with the militia.

Compare this to this. The assembly of the Zhao army was a bit troublesome. Li Mu had a headache. When he received the order to hold an exercise with an army of 400,000, he was very surprised. The Zhao army went from the Taihang Mountains to the newly occupied areas of the Yan State. Although there were 400,000 troops. But most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. Mobilize them. Li Mu really didn't have the strength to care about this problem.

Zhao Jun can count the main force of only 200,000 at most. If you barely calculate, you can still get together a hundred thousand troops to use. But there is still a certain gap between the 400,000 army. What's more. King Zhao didn't know that the tendon was wrong. He even asked Qin reporters to report on Zhao Jun's exercises. It's just a joke.

Li Mu's original plan was all messed up by King Zhao. To make up the numbers. Li Mu had no choice but to give the actual situation to King Zhao. King Zhao listened. He was very dissatisfied with Li Mu.

From the beginning of attacking Yan State, to now attacking Yan State is not effective and retreating. and beheaded 20,000 of Zhao's troops without his consent. The other 10,000 men were killed by the other armies combined. King Zhao already had a grudge against Li Mu. Coupled with the lack of 100,000 troops. King Zhao really had the intention of killing Li Mu.

At this time, Guo Kai was a good person. He took the initiative to persuade King Zhao to calm his anger. He was willing to take a trip to the country of Qi. Went to the country of Qi to bring 100,000 troops. Why didn't King Zhao understand what Guo Kai meant. Immediately according to the law.

The state of Qin was powerful. Zhao State is a confrontation. It's hard to resist. But pull up the Qi country. So. Qin Guo is strong, and he has to weigh it again.

Qin and Zhao each held a large-scale exercise with 400,000 troops, which was transmitted to the Qi State through newspapers. There was a lot of discussion in the country of Qi. The ideas given by the ministers were also very scattered. There are those who take a wait-and-see attitude towards this. There are also people who say that now that the Qin State is meddling in the affairs of the Yan State, it should unite with the Zhao State. The state of Qin is now expanding greatly. We must suppress the momentum of the Qin State. Others have taken the initiative to unite with several other countries. Even Yan Guo is among them. The six-nation exercise was jointly held. This is very unsuitable for the current situation.

Guo Kai's arrival made Qi temporarily stable. They want to see Zhao Guo's attitude. But Guo Kai didn't show his face, but directly negotiated secretly with Hou Sheng and the two. The content is unknown. Anyway, in the end, the country of Qi is not far behind. He even sent 100,000 troops to participate in military exercises. The news quickly spread to the Qin State. All of a sudden. The pressure on Qin's military exercises was not small. Because, Zhao Qi and the two countries have already expressed a joint attitude. There is a tendency for the six countries to unite again. Some are already seeing some signs of it.
