Qin Lei's carriage drove outside the eastern city and met a convoy that had been waiting on the side of the official road for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The Fourth Highness asks to see you." Shi Dang said in a deep voice outside the car.

"Come in." Before Qin Lei's words fell, the Jian Ming County King with a sad face got into the car.

Seeing his dejected appearance, Qin Lei smiled and comforted: "Don't be too depressed, everything will be fine." ”

"I don't want to be excited, but now there are mountains of valuable goods on the left," Qin Ji waved his hands and said emotionally: "On the one hand, there is a deficit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every day. When I think about it, I have three big brains, this job is really not done by people, brother, you better ask for another master. ”

Seeing that he was going to pick a son, Qin Lei was not in a hurry, and persuaded softly: "Doing things will inevitably have ups and downs, so it will be exciting." What's the point of a whole day of stagnant water without waves? ”

"The ups and downs are certainly interesting." Qin Ji said angrily: "Since the year before last, just the ups and downs, who can stand it?" He began to babble about his retirement and his desire to stay away from the damn Silk Road.

Qin Lei was still tepid, until he poured all the bitter water away, then he smiled and said, "How about trying again?" ”

Qin Ji's eyes widened when he heard this, and the Buddha mole on his forehead also turned red like cinnabar, looking at him like an angry bull, and roared in a low voice: "I won't do anything about it!" ”

Qin Lei smiled noncommittally, took out a map from under his seat, and beckoned, "Come and see." ”

Although Qin Ji still looked angry, his eyes had already been aimed at the strange-style map, and when he saw that there was a familiar place name written on it, he shouted in a lost voice: "Map of the Western Regions? "This is really useful for caravans coming and going to the Western Regions.

"It's not just the Western Regions." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "This includes the entire Eurasian continent, as well as North Africa. Regardless of whether Qin Ji could understand it or not, he pointed a few times on the map and said: "In addition to some small countries in the Western Regions, the countries of Europa, Persia, Great Food, Khorezm, and Tianzhu are the main countries we can reach...... If we want to open up sales channels and make money all over the world, we have to focus on these countries. ”

"Make money all over the world?" This is Qin Ji's lifelong ambition, as soon as he heard Qin Lei say this, his heart beat violently, and he swallowed and foamed: "These countries are not at war, right?" ”

Seeing that he was scratching his itch as expected, Qin Lei was a little proud, then nodded and said: "Except for the Europa countries that are busy with the Eastern Crusade, and the Great Food Countries that are tired of coping, the rest of the countries can become the market of your concise county king!" ”

"Tell me about it." Qin Ji rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Let's see if you can start from that side first." ”

"Here, Khorezm." Qin Lei pointed to a certain place in the southwest of the Western Regions and said: "This country is now under the rule of the 'Seljuk Dynasty', it has not been established for a long time, it is still on the rise, it is relatively stable politically, and its territory is also very vast, and their nobles will like the goods you bring." And here it is Persia to the east and Tianzhu to the south, and you can reach these two places by opening it! ”

"Persia, Tianzhu?" Qin Ji smiled and said: "I've heard of these two countries, aren't Persia the Turks who were driven away by the former Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu...... It seems to be the hometown of the monk, and Master Xuanzang of the former Tang Dynasty still went to learn scriptures. ”

"Don't underestimate these two countries," Qin Lei shook his head slightly: "Take Persia as an example, it is located in the center of the Eurasian continent, bringing together the scientific and technological knowledge of Dashi, Greece, Rome, China and India, and then carrying it forward after integration, and the degree of civilization is quite high. ”

"It can be said that the two peaks of today, one is our China, and the other is the Arab world represented by the Persian eclipse, and they have a lot of excellent things worth learning." He smiled and said, "Of course, there is more wealth like the Persian Gulf waiting for us to earn." ”

Although he didn't know what the 'Persian Gulf' was, Qin Ji still smiled when he heard it, nodded and said, "If I can be half as strong as my Huaxia, then I can give you the deficit." ”

"Well done!" Qin Lei raised his head and said, "Let's look at another magical country, Tianzhu." The country has a strict caste system, with Hindu monks who specialize in rituals at the very top of the hierarchy of power, monopolizing religious matters called 'brahmins', and some of them are involved in politics. Together with the 'Kshatriya' warrior class, who held the military and political power, they ruled over this rich land full of gold, enslaving the common people and slaves who made up the vast majority of the population. The wealth of the country is highly concentrated in the hands of a few people, who are spending, greedy and ignorant, and if you can't earn their money, I despise you in my heart. ”

Qin Ji's blood boiled again, and he couldn't wait to go to Persia, Tianzhu, and Khorezm immediately, and exchange the mountains of luxury goods for real money!

Grabbing the map, Qin Ji grabbed it in his hand and said, "I'll explain it and set off!" ”

"It's great that you can go in person," Qin Lei nodded approvingly: "I will give you 20,000 elite cavalry escorts, on the one hand, to ensure the safety of you and the goods, and on the other hand, to show our strength, so that the trade will be smoother." As he spoke, he patted his brother on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Remember, we are the strongest country in the world, and you are leading the most elite armed forces in the world, so don't suffer losses." ”

Qin Ji nodded fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Those who offend me against Qin will be punished even if they are far away!" Then he left the carriage with his fists and parted ways with Qin Lei.

After breaking up with Lao Si, Qin Lei, under the escort of the black-armored cavalry, went all the way south for nearly a thousand miles to inspect the Xiangyang Lake Naval Army.

But after entering the heavily guarded Xiangyang Lake, Qin Lei did not inspect the newly built warships, but ordered the black-armored cavalry, changed into the clothing of the baggage soldiers, mixed in the real baggage team, and marched to the northeast without hurrying or slow.

The unit, which was transporting shipbuilding materials for the Xiangyang Lake shipyard, returned to Luoyang City, where it had started, at the end of April, and they were to fill the warehouse in Luoyang City with goods and send them to Xiangyang Lake in the southwest again.

And Qin Lei and his black-clothed guards quietly left them and took advantage of the night to enter the camp of the Zhendong Army outside the city.

The pro-soldiers who had been guarding the door early introduced King Wucheng and his entourage into the camp, and went directly to the outside of the big tent of the Chinese army, and the leading pro-soldiers went in to report, and after a while, they saw the door curtain lifted, revealing Qin Li's burly and heroic figure.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Qin Li let out the door and invited Qin Lei in.

After entering the camp tent, the two pairs of big hands were clasped tightly together, and Qin Li lowered his voice and smiled: "It can be regarded as waiting until you come." ”

Qin Lei also smiled: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

Before he had time to say goodbye, Qin Lei went straight to the point and said, "Are the troops ready?" ”

"Always on call." Qin Li smiled confidently: "Of course, it will take a certain amount of time to pull out the camp, and you can set off at noon tomorrow at the earliest." ”

"Good!" Qin Lei only had time to take off his cloak, wipe his face with a towel and said, "Let them sleep again, and announce the order tomorrow morning." ”

"Which unit is operating with our Fourth Army?" In the reorganization of the whole army, the Zhendong Army was organized as the Fourth Army of the Patriotic Army, so Qin Li said: "Of course there is no better, the credit is all ours." ”

"The First Army will work with you." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "We can't be too big," said with a powerful false punch: "This battle must be fought!" "Since the fourth year of Tianyou, Shen Qing has led the First Army and stationed in the area of Hangu Pass, except for day and night drills, there has been no action, it turned out to be a foreshadowing for today.

"That's great." Qin Li laughed when he heard this: "In this way, the two armies add up to 150,000 infantry troops, 100,000 cavalry, and 50,000 special forces, and I am beginning to have confidence!" ”

"The Second Army and the newly formed Sixth Army will set out from the Central Capital tomorrow as strategic reserves." Qin Lei said solemnly: "Once our attack is blocked, we will start a car ** battle, and at all costs, we will also take this tiger prison moat!" ”

Hearing that there were two more armies that had also joined the sequence of this battle, Qin Li was speechless in shock at first, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since you have taken out all your family resources, we must win now!" ”

The regular army of the entire Qin State was reorganized into seven armies by Qin Lei, and the current commander of the First Guards Army was Shen Qing...... The original army commander, Huangfu Zhanwen, was ordered to form the Seventh Army. The four divisions under its jurisdiction, which were reorganized from the three forbidden armies of the former Jingshan Army, the Shenwu Army and the Iron Armored Army, totaled 150,000 people, were well-equipped, experienced, and morale-high, which could be described as Qin Lei's descendant trump card.

The commander of the Second Army was Shi Yong...... The original army commander Yang Wenyu was transferred to the Sixth Army, and the troops under his jurisdiction consisted of 150,000 infantry troops, all of which came from the training camp of Marshal Bosheng, but they had never been through the fire, and they seemed to be a head shorter than the brother troops, but they were holding back their strength and wanted to make a name for themselves in this war -- just like the Jingshan Army seven years ago. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, which is the most appropriate evaluation for them.
