"My friend. These places are uninhabited areas. If you do this, you will suffer a lot." The leader of the Xiongnu tribe looked at him suspiciously.

"I know. But, that place, we just use it as one of our camps. We only go there during a few important time periods, and the rest of the time, we will be empty. The leader only needs to give us a few important time periods. Some passages, for supplies, or to provide protection." The thin man said.

"This. What benefits can you give us?" the tribal leader asked directly.

"Food, enough grain, not only people can eat this food, but also horses can eat it. We can also provide pasture. Do you know why Qin's horses are so crafty?" said the thin man.

"This." The tribal leader swayed.

"It's because of these grains, Qin's grains, enough to pave the entire grassland. And it's enough to pave the entire grassland thickly. The grains are as much as the snow on the grassland in winter." Thin and small said the man.

"Ah." Hearing this.The tribal leader looked at the thin man in surprise.

"You. You Qin. You are too powerful." The tribal leader said excitedly.

"Therefore, the leader cooperates with us, there is no harm, only benefits." Said the thin and small man.

"It's just, my friend, I don't understand why you help me like this." The tribal leader said excitedly.

"I got a powerful musket from you, my tribe's strength has increased a lot, and there are many other things, iron weapons, stirrups, horseshoes, and salt. These things. On the grassland, you can It’s something you can’t buy with a lot of money.” The tribal leader said excitedly.He didn't understand why this thin man helped this Hun tribe like this.

"To be honest, these things are in our country of Qin. There are so many of them everywhere, they are worthless at all. I help you, but I'm also helping me." The thin man said.

"I want to make more money. Because you have abundant resources here. I just need it. The leader can provide convenience and guarantee my safety. Only when your tribe is strong, can my safety be guaranteed." said the thin man.

"You and I, my friend, are in a relationship of coexistence." The thin man continued.

1558 Buying off the Huns

This thin man is actually a trade representative of a border trading company in the Qin State. Within a short period of time, he learned the language of the Huns, and his language advantages were then brought into play.

When the border trade was strictly prohibited by the Qin State, he secretly sneaked into the territory of the Xiongnu and started doing business with several Hun tribes on the border. At the beginning, he used the support of powerful weapons in his hands, such as muskets.They successfully opened up the market.

The strength of the Huns lies in their horsemanship and their worship of violence.However, the Huns who have retreated to Mobei have been beaten to the bitter cold in the north by the Qin army. The situation of the Huns is very bad, which is very dangerous for them.At this time, the people of Qin came to do business with them, so they were naturally willing to do business with them.The materials exchanged between the two sides can be said to be very unequal.

The Huns exchanged certain horses, and some slaves.And what they got was muskets.Later, it was a large amount of wood and various things that the Huns considered medicinal materials.The exchange was still muskets.With muskets.The strength of this tribe has increased a lot.It can be said that the Huns have benefited a lot from border trade.But Qin Guo's eyes are different from them.

The goal of the Qin people is obviously relatively long-term.But what they didn't know was that these thin Chinese people were not from Qin, they were from Qin from the six eastern countries, but among these new Qin people, there were also quite a few elites.These elites are businessmen from the six countries.

"Sir, our business has been losing money, or our profit is too small." The servant of the thin pedestrian said worriedly at this time.

"These are not things you can worry about." The thin man said with a smile.

And these businessmen from the six countries had even bigger plans. After contacting the Xiongnu tribe, they found that the situation of the Xiongnu tribe was already very bad.And it's an established fact.

The Xiongnu tribe is in the north of the desert, in the bitterly cold place near the North Sea. The grassland vegetation here is extremely scarce, and the climate is harsh, and the Qin army has densely blocked it, with barbed wire and landmines fortifications.These fortifications are more powerful than the Great Wall, and it is difficult for the Huns, whose main arm is cavalry, to go south.And they were trapped in this bitter cold place alive.

Regarding the situation of the Huns, after some contacts, these businessmen have already understood the situation of the Huns.They don't have many resources to trade with themselves.Although the development of border trade can allow more entry, but at this time, the resources of the Huns are already very few.Moreover, the superior resources of the Huns also turned into disadvantages.Such as war horses.The horses fed by the Qin people with pasture and grain are more sophisticated, and there are a lot of them, but because the Huns lost the role of natural pastures, their horses are already in a lower state than Qin's horses as a whole.This is also why Qin can equip a large number of cavalry in an instant, but the Huns cannot gather in an extreme time.The Huns, who had lost their mobility advantage, posed little threat to Qin.But the Qin people still did not relax their vigilance against the Huns.In the eyes of the old Qin people, only dead Huns are the best Huns, otherwise they are enemies.

But these businessmen from the six countries didn't think so, and they started to make arrangements.In addition, Qin suddenly opened up border trade recently.This made the merchants of these six countries tighten their control over these border Hun tribes. In their view, these border Hun tribes must be controlled. "This is a big strategy of ours. How can we let outsiders know about it?" The thin pedestrians gathered around the stove Roasting fire thought.

If you want to do business with the Huns, you have to magnify the advantages of the Huns, but there are not many advantages in the hands of the Huns. The quality of the horses has dropped a lot. Naturally, they cannot be compared with the Qin people. How attractive.Because Qin has no shortage of food.

On the contrary, the Qin people have a lot of supplies, too many to count, and the Huns are lacking, starting with food.Wheat, salt, daily necessities, iron products, bows and arrows, and armor made of leather.There are countless stirrups, muskets, bullets and other utensils, but the Huns have nothing to exchange.This is the current plight of the Huns.

Even if the state of Qin liberalized the border trade and the turbulent supplies came from the state of Qin, when these supplies came, they would find that the Huns had nothing to exchange with them at all.And these merchants from the six countries had discovered this situation a long time ago, so they turned their targets to the land at the feet of the Huns. They believed that since there were a lot of iron mines at the feet of the Huns, there were more The narrow mine, then, is there such a mine under their feet now.

In order to obtain some resources, merchants from these six countries have already made arrangements.They win over several powerful tribal leaders on the border, give them some material support, and then slowly encroach on some nearby territories. Dig for minerals.With the discovery of diamonds.Qin merchants also set their sights on the uninhabited forest in the north of the Huns.This region is Siberia.It is rumored that these diamonds come from this area, and the shrewd merchants from the Six Nations naturally aimed at this place.

However, they still need to lack some things. After all, this place is controlled by the Huns, and the trade has been liberalized. However, Qin's military power has not expanded here, and the Qin army's military strength is seriously insufficient in the northern region. These businessmen It is also impossible to organize military forces to occupy this area by itself, so it is very correct to adopt the means of cooperation, bribery, and win over, and it is currently the most effective approach.That's why they spent so much material to buy off these Huns.

However, the Huns themselves also have big problems. After several defeats, the cohesion of the Huns has been very low. In addition, they have entered a bitter cold land all of a sudden, and there are already deep grievances among the various tribes.Coupled with the lack of supplies, it led to the outbreak of wars between tribes, under such circumstances.It became much easier for the Huns to be wooed and bought.This is also where the merchants of the six countries are very shrewd.They are well aware of the power of money.As well as the consequences of the lack of various materials, buying is a big business.

1559 Attack

"The situation in Wei State is not going to get any better. Eong>" an officer of the Qin Army said on a horse.

"Of course, their king only wants to have fun every day. Moreover, he collects high taxes, and the entire Wei Kingdom has no source of income." Another cavalry officer of the Korean New Army came over and said on horseback.

Because of the increasingly rampant banditry in Wei State.The Qin army's military observation group was divided into two groups. The reason for dividing into two groups was because there were not many cavalry who could protect them.Because there are a large number of Korean caravans to protect, and the number of cavalry is small, it is impossible to protect the safety of the Qin Army observation group.However, Qin's military observation team urgently needed to complete the task, and the new South Korean army had no choice but to collect meat samples.

They are the second batch to set off into Qi.Because they were passing through Wei State, and the Qin army also wanted to know the situation of the surrounding countries, they naturally checked the status of Wei State's armed forces, but they generally felt very sad about Wei State's equipment.Read the full text of the latest chapter

But all the countries are actively changing their firearms. When artillery, even the ethnic minority tribes on the border of Qin State are actively trying to get firearms.Wei Guo is an outlier.Their soldiers still carry the old-fashioned and backward bronze weapons, although some officers have used good quality iron knives and iron swords.But still can not cover them, there is not a large number of equipped with muskets, and the artillery is backward.

Soldiers were poorly trained and morale was low.Read the full text of the latest chapter, which directly leads to low combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that when all countries generally adopted the military salary system, Wei Guo directly saved this fee in order to save money, and the remaining large sum of money was actually spent on The construction of the luxurious Wei Palace went up.King Wei enjoys everything desperately.Apparently Wei Guo already had plans to give up resistance.

As for the military equipment.King Wei thought so, equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery.Although it is powerful, it is still difficult for Wei Jun to resist Qin Jun's attack, not only difficult to resist.The most important thing is that Wei Jun's logistical supplies are too consumed.These bullets are all bought with money, and every time you shoot, you will lose one shot, unlike bows and arrows that can be manufactured, but these bullets can only be bought from Qin, Chu, and South Korea.This price is too expensive.Naturally, I can't afford the money.

The Wei army's equipment is seriously insufficient, and the loss of Wei's nationals is extremely serious. Wei's economy is already in a very depressed state.Years of fighting.It has put Wei's agriculture on the verge of collapse.Coupled with the high taxes of King Wei and the disguised deprivation of the nobles.This directly led to the displacement of the people, who fled Wei State one after another.And those who can still stay in the Wei country only stay where they are due to individual reasons.In order to make a living, they had to rob houses or block roads.

The state of Wei is already on the verge of collapse.Even the country would self-destruct without sending troops.These are all conclusions that Qin Jun thought of after passing here.No matter from that point of view, Wei Guo's situation is the worst.

But now no country is interested in Wei, and Wei is dead.No one thinks about these.

On the eastern front of Qi State, in the headquarters of a combat brigade.

"According to our comprehensive and obtained information." A colonel officer reported.

"The enemy's logistics supply line has been cut off by a mysterious military force. Their logistics cannot receive any supplies." The colonel officer reported.

"The soldiers of the Chu Army are extremely disciplined, just." Speaking of this, the colonel stopped.

"We Qi people have suffered too much criticism," said the colonel.All the officers present bowed their heads.After all, they are all Qi people.

"En." Tian An just nodded.

"To sum up the above, the Chu army has no logistical supplies, and there is a shortage of food, and the military discipline is lax. This has caused many defensive gaps on the frontal battlefield of our army. Our army plans to launch an offensive counterattack. Beat the opponent down." Colonel Said.

"En." Tian An didn't answer in a hurry.It's just a thank you.

"We only need to send elite teams to attack on each front, and set fire to the local supplies in the rear. The Qi army will inevitably be in chaos, and then our army will rise up and attack. We will be able to repel the enemy from the front," the colonel said.

Tian An frowned and looked at the map.The other officers nodded.In their view.This plan is very suitable.

Because Qi Jun's supplies are not very sufficient, especially for long-term persistence.The Qi army's ammunition consumption is extremely serious, and the soldiers' ammunition is seriously insufficient.On average, each soldier only had two or three bullets.Ammunition is seriously insufficient.There are guns, but no shells.If the fight continues, the Qi army may only have to fight with bayonets.

It is precisely because of this reason.Only then did the Qi army come up with such a tactic, using commandos to infiltrate, bypass the opponent's rear, create chaos, and take the opportunity to launch an attack after the opponent's situation is in chaos.This defeats the opponent in one fell swoop.

And the reason for launching such an attack.It is because the Qi army's logistics materials are extremely scarce, and they cannot provide effective fire support.In offensive operations, the most important thing is to provide fire suppression, and the Qi army is extremely lacking in this. Under such circumstances, the Qi army can only use sneak attack operations. They send their own assault units to destroy, and then take the opportunity to launch Larger-scale offensive operations.Relying on sudden disruption of the opponent's deployment of troops, at the same time, using infantry shock tactics to break through the opponent's defense, as long as the opponent's defense is torn apart.The opponent can quickly collapse and fight.

But Tian An is thinking about what to weigh

"General, this plan is feasible. And it is a good opportunity. We must seize the good opportunity to rent samples." Several officers said anxiously.In their view, this opportunity must be launched quickly.Because, only in this way, they can quickly defeat the Chu army, and the opportunity is extremely rare.At this time, the Chu army did not have any logistical supplies, and its combat power was the weakest. Once the Chu army was defeated, it could quickly gain the initiative.
