335 Zhao Qi Coalition Army

The Qin army arrived at the Yellow River and crossed the river smoothly. The crossing of the river takes up to three or four days. And a lot of supplies must also be kept up in time. So it's been a bit long. But that's already the fastest speed.

Just when the Qin army crossed the river. The Qin State began to establish embassies in the Six Kingdoms. The first to be established was in South Korea. The ambassador is Zhang Liang. The counselor is Uncle Han. Shu Tongshu. This is the name of Princess Liuyi. For the convenience of acting in the state of Qin. That's how the name was used.

With the first one. A second one was set up. The embassy of Yan was also established as soon as possible. The difference is that the embassy of Yan seems to be very busy. People come and go, but it's not lively. These people were businessmen. A fur merchant and horse dealer in the Yan Kingdom. The reason why they were gathered. It's about handling a big thing. Smuggling of arms.

Since the Yan State relied heavily on the firearms of the Qin State, they believed that this was the only thing they could maintain the current situation. So, Ju Xin served as this ambassador. This embassy was established. He also asked for such a sign after seeing South Korea set up such a sign. The difference is that South Korea's goals are not clear. He was very clear.

He has only one purpose, and that is arms. At first, the Qin State smuggled arms and used its own merchants. When you arrive at the other party's territory, you will immediately sell it. The other merchant made a lot of profit after selling. As a result, the area bordering the Qin State became the largest arms distribution center. Merchants from various countries began to gather here, and they spent huge sums of money to buy muskets.

Yingyu is happy to do it. The muskets she produced were all outdated Wenyang-style muskets. However, for the six countries that lacked effective firearms. This is already an advanced weapon. The Six Nations not only sold to the army, but also began to set up musket escort teams themselves. Use a musket and become a symbol of whether you are powerful or not. This opened up sales at once, because it was not only the armies of the Six Nations who bought muskets, but also those who owned a large number of fiefdoms.

Arms smuggling is on the rise. However, the special geographical location of Yan is too remote. Also, the amount of gold they use is very limited. As a result, they are very undominant in the arms trade. Ju Xin also learned about this situation through the merchants of Yan Kingdom. In order to improve the situation in the smuggling of arms, Yan Guo is extremely unfavorable. The drama can be described as painstaking.

On the one hand, he demanded that the country start a search for gold. At the same time, they also began to use some Yan specialties in exchange for arms. ginseng, precious leather, wood. There are even demands for the cession of land. So the trade between the two sides was thus opened. Yanguo exports raw materials. And the Qin State smuggled arms. A large number of muskets began to flow into the Yan Kingdom in a tendentious manner.

Because the price of raw materials in Yanguo is extremely low. One good ginseng is exchanged for five muskets. With such a trade balance, how could it not make Qin Guo's heart move. With such a huge difference, even Yingyu also set up a trading bank to participate in it. Due to the large amount of arms at her disposal. So she has the best deal. And often directly beneficial.

Merchants from other countries still use traditional gold trading. Gold flowed to the Qin state. Although the state of Qin did not prohibit the circulation of gold. But gold is extremely bulky. State bonds are relatively simple if you open an account. That's more convenient. So a lot of gold began to enter Yingyu's bank.

Just when the Qin State smuggled arms trade was unfolding on a large scale. Zhao and Qi finally made a move.

As early as the time when the Qin army was opened, the merchants of the Zhao State sent out a business report. It is said that it is a sign of a large-scale transfer in the Qin State. Because a large number of wagons and horses began to transport things to the west at night. But recently, the west seems to have been building roads, which did not attract the attention of Zhao Guo. Li Mu didn't know anything about this. He's training. Especially musketeers and cavalry. Zhao Guo bought a large number of muskets from smuggling. These muskets were equipped with nearly fifteen thousand people in a short period of time.

But then some intelligence began to show that the Qin army had moved. Zhao Guo was still not alert. Qi Guo also did not know at all. Because the signal for the start of the war was that Zhao sent troops.

When it came time for the Qin State to escort a large number of prisoners of war to Xianyang. Zhao Guo suddenly realized.

"Quick, quick. Quickly, pass on the widow's king's order, and order General Li to send troops quickly. Fast. "King Zhao received the exact news that the Qin army had been dispatched for more than 20 days before he gave an urgent order. The reason why King Zhao is in such a hurry. It's because he's afraid. He was afraid of Qin, the country of tigers and wolves. Now he is biting the Yue clan with all his might. If he frees up his mouth to bite Zhao Guo, then Zhao Guo will definitely die. Before he bit him to death, only he became stronger. I can't bite it.

"Hmph. The widows annexed the Yan Kingdom and expanded a large area of land. Try it out against your country of tigers and wolves. King Zhao suddenly became fleshy.

"The king, you have so much courage that you don't even pay attention to the Qin State." A concubine softly hugged King Zhao with her jade-like arm. King Zhao instantly changed into a different look.

"The widow is now a big male. Ha ha. King Zhao said and threw down the concubine.

And Li Mu has a headache now. This order given by King Zhao was really too hasty. to send troops. How to arrange grain and grass. Although he had long known that he was going to send troops to the Yan Kingdom. However, grain and grass were not delivered. Li Mu was very annoyed. In fact, some of the grain and grass of Zhao began to be appropriated by some princes and ministers. Where did you go? Where else to go. State of Qin. Why? Who knows.

Li Mu didn't know about these situations. But the king's command is here. Li Mu had to send troops. If you refuse to send troops. Then King Zhao reprimanded him in court again. When did Li Mu suffer such an insult. When you think of being loyal to your country. He swallowed his anger again.

"Alas. Dispatch troops. Li Mu reluctantly ordered.

"But general, the grain and grass in the army ・・・・・・・," asked a Sima in the Zhao army.

"Use the reserve rations." Li Mu ordered. This reserve army ration was privately ordered and saved by Li Mu. Because, every time there is a certain amount of deduction of grain and grass. But every time Li Mu couldn't find out. In order for Zhao Jun to be able to maintain combat effectiveness. As a last resort.

In this way, Zhao Jun, under the urging of King Zhao, set off. An army of 100,000 began to march towards the Yan Kingdom. After the Qi army assembled on the border of Zhao and Yan heard the movement. Escalate quickly. Hou Sheng asked the king of Qi to order troops.

So the Qi army also began to send troops. Their number was slightly less, only 80,000, but they were armed with muskets, and the number of artillery far exceeded that of the Zhao army.

The two armies were horns against each other and marched separately towards the Yan Kingdom. And all the defensive forces of the Yan State are in the direction of the Zhao State, and the troops of the Qi State are dispatched. They were blinded at once.
