Chapter 543: The First Divine General of the Warring States Period
‘Creak——’

‘Creak——’

Dozens of carts were slowly moving towards Handan, and five hundred fully armored cavalrymen were cruising around the carts, ready to tear into pieces any thieves who dared to covet them.

"Big brother!"

Lu Wan swallowed, looked at the carriage weighing a thousand pounds, and came to Liu Ji in a somewhat obscene manner.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep your eyes away!"

As good friends who had grown up together, Liu Ji knew what the other party wanted to do as soon as Lu Wan raised his butt, so he quickly scolded him loudly.

"No! No! I just think this is too much. Isn't this money enough to buy the State of Zhao?"

When loading the truck, Lu Wan took a quick look and found that it was full of all kinds of rare treasures.

Thumb-sized pearls, several-foot-long corals, sparkling gems, and priceless colored glaze treasures. It can be said that any one of them is a rare treasure.

To be honest, Lu Wan was stunned at that time.

He had never thought that there could be such treasures in the world. Not to mention at night, even on cloudy days those treasures would emit a dazzling light!

"Don't look at what you shouldn't look at!"

Liu Ji glared at Lu Wan fiercely. Although he felt that Lu Wan should not have the courage to steal these treasures, it was inappropriate for a cavalry guard to have such thoughts.

After all, it would be fine if nothing happened. But if something happened, based on Lu Wan’s current performance, it would be shit!

Last month, Liu Ji was promoted to major for his meritorious service in the siege, and was even received by the King of Tang.

To be honest, Li Qingyuan was completely stunned when he first learned that he had a guy named Liu Ji under his command.

Speaking of which, Qin Shihuang is still young, so how come Emperor Gaozu of Han suddenly appeared?

He originally thought that they just had the same name and surname, but after meeting the other party and learning that he was from Pei County and brought a younger brother named Lu Wan with him, Li Qingyuan finally confirmed that the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him was actually the rogue emperor of later generations.

Of course, Emperor Gaozu of Han was still just an ignorant teenager. His biggest wish was to stand out and impress his father and older brothers. He had no ambition to conquer the world.

Liu Ji is quite satisfied with his current life. As a major, he is already a member of the aristocracy, much higher than the doctor in his hometown!
In particular, the King of Tang personally met him and expressed his optimism about him, which made Liu Ji feel extremely honored and excited.

No matter what will happen to him in the future, Liu Ji is now just a passionate boy of fifteen years old. He has been scolded by his father and regarded as a useless person by his relatives and friends since he was a child. Now he has been praised by the King of Tang, and his loyalty has been instantly raised to the maximum!
If Zhao State reached a truce with Qin State, Tang State would be the first to bear the brunt of the huge threat.

After all, Fan Yuqi's command was far inferior to Wang Jian's, and the Qin army had Gongshujia's help. Unless Li Qingyuan broke his oath and took out the howitzer, he would lose anyway. The people's will was only useful when the battle was tense. When the ruling class had absolute military power and no equal opponent, the people's will was completely useless.

Li Si suggested that the King of Tang should shrink the front and stop distributing money. Although Tang's lavish distribution of money won the hearts of countless people, it also seriously damaged the interests of the old aristocracy. Otherwise, given the hatred between Zhao and Qin, a ceasefire would be impossible, right?
But that’s it!
Li Qingyuan said that was not a big deal!

As we all know, there were four famous generals in the Warring States Period, namely Bai Qi, Lian Po, Wang Jian and Li Mu.

But above these four famous generals there is a super MVP, that is Guo Kai, who is known as the top general of the Warring States Period!

As the God of War of Zhao State, Guo Kai said that the reason why he only killed two famous generals was because two famous generals were the upper limit of Zhao State, not the upper limit of him, Guo Kai!
So Li Qingyuan directly ordered Liu Bang to escort ten carts of treasures to Handan to meet Guo Kai and ask him to help continue the battle between Qin and Zhao.

Originally, King Zhao forced Li Mu to withdraw his troops because he listened to the Qin envoy's words. King Zhao still understood the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold".

But!
You can only say Guo Kai is bad, you can't say Guo Kai is bad!
After receiving ten carts of treasures, Guo Kai immediately used his advantages to persuade King Zhao, and it only took a few minutes to change King Zhao's mind.

So the Zhao army, which had just been preparing to retreat with a breath, suddenly launched an attack on Shangdang. Wang Jian had to stay in Shangdang and fight to the death with Li Mu.

Suddenly, Xianyang was in a state of emergency, and all the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty started an emergency meeting in the Zhangtai Palace.

"The Tang army of 400,000 men attacked Hangu Pass fiercely. General Li sent six urgent reports in one month. If we don't send support quickly, I'm afraid Hangu Pass will be lost!"

Originally, the second-in-command of the Qin military should have been Meng Wu, but last year Meng Wu was defeated by Li Mu and suffered heavy losses in his troops, and also lost the northern part of Shangdang. So now Li Xin has been appointed to resist the Tang army at Hangu Pass.

Li Xin had only 50,000 men under his command. Although Hangu Pass was known as the most dangerous pass in the world, facing the 400,000 highly motivated Tang troops, Li Xin could only passively defend.

It is true that Li Qingyuan did not directly use cheats to equip Fan Yuqi with a few howitzers, but he directly let the one-man world create a bunch of ancient siege equipment, and the effect was much better than those made by the Mohists.

There is no need to be too knowledgeable about the past, nor too respectful to the present. From the perspective of the pure use of manpower, ancient craftsmen were indeed able to achieve a level that would amaze modern craftsmen.

There is no other way. If you can’t do it, I will just chop down your entire door. I guess even a otaku can become a skilled carpenter within three months if he starts from scratch!

However, in terms of production process or general direction, the ancients certainly could not catch up with the efficiency and results of modern machinery.

"The shameless people of Zhao State, they have already agreed to withdraw their troops, but they are attacking our army again. This is simply despicable!"

A group of ministers immediately began to scold Zhao State in the court. Everyone believed that with Wang Jian's strength, he could definitely defeat Fan Yuqi, but Wang Jian was now trapped in Shangdang by Li Mu and could not move. This made Qin State pale in comparison in terms of both military strength and generals.

"It is said that the King of Tang sent ten carts of jewels to Handan. How come the Tang Kingdom is so rich?"

Those who were well-informed already knew about Zhao's breach of contract. Luo Wang had even organized several assassinations along the way, but they were all blocked by the Jinyiwei under Jingwei's command!
How rich the Tang Kingdom is is a huge confusion in the minds of everyone in the country.

After all, the Tang emperor seems to have been throwing money around since last year, and it's been a year and he hasn't finished yet? Was South Korea so rich before?
