Chapter 249: Qi State's Ambition

soon

Wei Qing and Huo Qu were sick and were recalled to Beijing one after another.

At the same time, all parts of Qi also began to transport grain and grass to Yandi on a large scale.

One after another, the carriages, all loaded with all kinds of grain, grass and ordnance, were continuously transported to Yandi.

Besides

Troops are also massing on a large scale.

And

In order to achieve military objectives as soon as possible.

This time out of the army,

More than half were cavalry units.

Since the Qi State annexed the Yan State, the Qi State, which owns the Liaodong Horse Farm, has begun to raise war horses on a large scale.

ONE OF THEM ALSO BENEFITED FROM THE FACT THAT HAN LIN OBTAINED A LOT OF BUFFS THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

For example, the cost of raising horses, and so on.

After several years of development,

Now

The Qi State has more than 1.5 million war horses.

If it is configured according to three people and one horse, it is enough to allocate 500,000 cavalry.

Of course

Cavalry of this scale is absolutely unaffordable for the Qi State at this stage.

It's not that there's a logistical problem.

It's that too many young people in Qi are involved in various projects.

This leads to

In terms of troops, it has always maintained a certain scale, and there is no way to carry out large-scale expansion.

But now, with Han Lin's order,

In addition to the regular army, many civilians involved in the project were also conscripted into the army.

The war machine of the entire Qi country began to operate.

Obviously, there is no way to cover up such a large-scale armed war.

It's easy to say if it's a small group of troops, but now hundreds of thousands of troops of Qi are gathering in the north.

The nations are not blind and deaf.

Every day, countless secret letters are sent to various countries like snowflakes.

.......

Zhao Guo.

Handan.

Since he was ready to attack the Qi country,

During this time,

The State of Zhao has already sent countless fine works to the State of Qi.

It is used to find out what is happening in the Qi country.

Now, with the war machine of the Qi country beginning to turn.

These meticulous works sent back various secret letters to Zhao Guo every day.

At this point,

Zhao Qian, the emperor of Zhao State, was discussing matters with Lian Po, Li Mu, and Lin Xiangru in the imperial study.

"The news from the Qi Kingdom, you should already know, right? Each of them expressed their opinions, and it was really unusual for the Qi State to suddenly start to reorganize its troops for war, and to transfer troops to the north on a large scale. ”

Li Mu frowned and said, "Is there any threat in the northern part of the Qi Kingdom?" Xiongnu or Xia Juli? ”

Lian Po said in a deep voice: "Although the Xiongnu attack the border every winter, the Qi State should not go north because of this, right?" Or does Qi want to conquer Xia Juli? ”

Lin Xiangru shook his head: "In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, although the land is fertile, the climate is extremely harsh in winter, even if it is occupied, what can it do?" Wei Chen really couldn't think of the purpose of Qi State's gathering of troops in the north. ”

Then

Li Mu suddenly spoke: "Do you think there is a possibility that the purpose of the Qi Kingdom is us?" ”

Emperor Zhao sneered and said: "Ridiculous! ”

"There are currently more than two million people in Qi State participating in various projects, and we didn't take the lead in making a move, so could it be that he dared to take the initiative to attack?"

Lin Xiangru said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks we still have to take precautions." ”

"The northern region of the Zhao State is a flat river, if the Qi State really descends from Liaodong, if our army is not prepared, it will not be able to form effective resistance under surprise."

"In contrast, there is a natural danger of Changlin Pass in the western border of Qi State, even if the main army is gathered in the north, there is no need to worry about us raiding Qi State."

Lin Xiangru compared and analyzed the topography of the two countries.

Li Mu and Lian Po, as generals in the army.

They all nodded in agreement.

In the Imperial Study,

Only Zhao Qian's face was not very good-looking.

In his opinion, the current situation of Qi State, he Zhao State did not take the lead in sending troops to give him face, where did Qi State get the courage to dare to take the initiative to attack?

Front-line campaigns, logistical supplies, and countless large-scale projects.

It's all stacked on top of that,

I'm afraid that all the men in Qi will have to be sent.

In this case,

How could Qi State dig its own grave.

Even if Han Lin is mediocre, he should have a degree.

And even if he wanted to attack the Zhao State, could it be that the other ministers and generals of the Qi State were all fools, how could they agree to such a ridiculous plan.

For Lin Xiangru's advice, Emperor Zhao didn't care at all.

It was only a symbolic dispatch of 5,000 soldiers to Yangcheng on the northeast border.

........

Wei.

Daliang City.

Also in the Imperial Study,

Emperor Wei received the envoys of Qi.

As a hardcore ally of the current Qi State, the days of the Wei State during this time can be regarded as a spring breeze.

First of all, with the backing of Qi State, there is no need to worry about Zhao State's attack.

As for the biggest threat, that is, the state of Qin.

Now he is also putting all his energy on the Chu State.

So during these days, Wei can be said to have lived quite nourishingly.

It's just that Emperor Wei was a little surprised,

Today

Suddenly, an envoy from the State of Qi visited.

And it was made clear that they were going to meet individually.

After the meeting,

Emperor Wei didn't care at all, the other party didn't salute, but said with a smile: "I don't know what happened when the envoys of Qi State came?" ”

The envoy took out a secret letter from his arms: "This is a secret letter from His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi asking to be forwarded to His Majesty Wei, and I hope that after His Majesty Wei reads it, he can act as soon as possible, don't delay the business, and retire first." ”

The envoy did not linger long,

After he left,

Emperor Wei opened the letter in confusion.

When his gaze swept over the content above, his face changed instantly.

"Someone!"

"Immediately summon the prime minister and the general into the palace, I have important matters to discuss."

In the letter,

Actually, there isn't much content.

It was the State of Qi that expressed its intention to attack the State of Zhao.

It is hoped that Wei will be able to send troops to attack Zhao from both sides in the south.

After the destruction of Zhao, the land of three counties will be divided and returned to the Wei State.

When the prime minister and the general, after reading the above content.

The faces of the two also changed drastically.

I didn't expect the Qi Kingdom to have such great ambitions, and they actually wanted to destroy Zhao!

You know,

Zhao Guo since the Hu Fu cavalry shooting,

The combat effectiveness of the cavalry can be said to be the best in the world.

Even if it is the Qin State, it has suffered no less on it.

During the reign of Emperor Wuling of Zhao, that is, when Zhao was at its peak.

Emperor Wuling of Zhao even gave birth to the idea of destroying Qin.

He even disguised himself as an envoy of the Zhao State and went to the Qin State in person to check the terrain.

You know,

At that time, the Qin State had already become the Qin of tigers and wolves.

Whether it is military, people's livelihood or others, its strength has far surpassed that of other countries.

It can be seen that Emperor Wuling of Zhao has ambition and strength.

merely

Later, due to the problem of the prince,

Emperor Wuling of Zhao died young.

Otherwise, it's really hard to say what will happen to Zhao Guo later.

Now, however,

The State of Qi actually bared its fangs and wanted to annex the State of Zhao.
