The Qin army's battle against the Han merchant brigade was really out of necessity......

Lü Zhe encouraged merchants to support commerce and increase tax revenue for the country, and at the same time, he wanted caravans to help collect information from various places.

It is not too easy to trade in any year, take the current social environment as an example, a single one-legged merchant is basically not a zài, because the development process in various places is too low, and the number of people is not large, there are wild beasts in the wild, then it is not so safe, and a single trader is purely looking for death.

In addition to having the strength to have many carriages for transportation, the necessary accompanying guards must also be indispensable, one is to prevent thieves and bandits, and the other is to ensure that they are not harmed by wild beasts.

After all, the south is not better than the Central Plains, and there is no natural advantage in culture and development. Because these chambers of commerce are multi-share alliances, they will inevitably have enough financial and material resources, so even if they don't have enough people to form their own escort teams when they go to business, they can hire people if they don't have enough people.

Although Lu Zhe has only risen for four years, because of its particularity, it is also because the army has been constantly reorganized in the mode of elite soldiers, and in the past four years, there have been soldiers who have retired due to age or other reasons.

Don't forget that the Han State has an obligation to have a quarterly soldier system, although the Xiaoguo in the countryside is not as practiced as the standing army or the ace army, but the fighting skills that should be mastered will not be less at all, and it will be the best among them to be valued and recruited by the Chamber of Commerce.

The bad thing is that the source of the escort of the Han merchant brigade is that the armed forces of the accompanying escort caravan are basically trained to accept state behavior, and there will definitely be the imprint of Lu Zhe deeply rooted in the Han army in their thoughts. The first thing they did when they became chaotic around was to fully arm themselves and then lay out the defensive line. is to arrange a defensive line, then it will definitely block the Qin army's offensive path in some areas, which is the so-called "blocking the road".

Blocking the army's offensive path, even a third-rate army would not allow anyone to do this, let alone the Qin army carefully selected by Xu Yan from the Central Plains Army?

In the face of the small camp hanging the banner of Chinese characters, there were at least more than 1,000 non-Han army armies, and some of the Qin troops led by them were directly crushed over; Some Qin army officers could still send soldiers to inform them to get out of the way, but once a certain amount of time passed, those Han people still did not get out of the way, and they launched an attack to kill them without accident.

The army is ruthless. They are a collective that brings death and destruction, and what the Qin army that gets the order to do is to invade like fire, not to mention that the Han people are blocking the way in front, even if the Qin people are blocking the way, they will attack after not listening to the warning, after all, any obstacle in front of the military order is within the attackable target, and whoever stands in the way will die.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, almost every caravan accompanied by no less than 300 guards, Qin and Qi, Yan, Zhao warring Han caravans after the outbreak of the war had a special communication channel is basically a group, then the two caravans are 600 armed, three 900, four 1,02......

The Han merchant traveler encountered by the Qin army. There were no less than thirteen caravans in the way of the army's attack, and they were divided into three bands, so that each of them would have no less than a thousand escorts. The number of troops scattered by the Qin army is also more or less, but it will definitely exceed 1,000 people. Whoever gets in the way will attack. Then the battle between the Qin army and the Han caravan escort broke out.

What was the post-war report that Xu Yan received? What he saw was that the Qin army had wiped out more than 3,000 Han civilian forces at the cost of nearly 4,000 soldiers.

Is this still worth it? The elite attack of the Qin army, some caravan escorts are like this!? At that time, Xu Yang, who saw that it took 4,000 soldiers to eliminate 3,000 Han people's armed forces, turned green, and he called the officers who had fought with the Han people's armed forces, and asked very sternly about the battle.

The camp guarded by the Han caravan was completely a "turtle stream", and not only the camp walls were perfect. There are many horses, antlers, and traps, and although those people do not have crossbows, they should have bows, long soldiers, short soldiers, and armor. A handful of guards were even armed with very sharp iron weapons.

The troops scattered by the Qin army were basically lightly armed because they needed to run around, they had no armor and were covered by constant arrows, and suffered heavy casualties, and after the hard top, they encountered traps such as deep pits, thistles, and thorn vines, and they had an advantage after short-term contact, but they all had a common feeling, that is, the coordination of the Han people's armed forces seemed to be stronger than that of the Qi, Yan, and Zhao coalition armies, at least in terms of organization, which was almost the same as the general army.

The camp walls are perfect, and there are all the fortifications that should be there, so it is understandable that the Qin army without armor is constantly covered by arrows on the road of attack, but many Qin generals should say that they don't believe it or are they a little confused? They didn't understand whether it was the regular army of the Han State or the armed forces of the civilian caravanserais.

Could it be the ordinary armament described by the Qin officers who fought with it? In the eyes of some Qin generals, this was impossible.

"It's possible, don't forget that the Han State conducts national military training every summer and winter, and I heard that some people who are good can be sent to the most basic military academy for basic officer education, and in addition, there are not a few retired soldiers in the Han Kingdom. Those retired soldiers were incorporated into a reserve organization, and when they were drafted, they needed to put on armor again to serve the king (country), and they were basically commissioned by caravans...... "Xu Yan said this, he stopped, and he glanced around at the many generals: "The Han Kingdom is no longer the countries we know. ”

What Xu Yan means is that the Han Kingdom cannot be viewed with the universal values and impressions of the past, and the more the Han Kingdom changes as time goes by, it is already a country that is gradually different from other countries.

Listed as generals thoughtfully, what they are most concerned about now is not to understand the Han State, but to urgently want to know the judgment of the commander, which comes from the judgment of whether the Han State will send troops to retaliate.

"Yes, definitely," Xu Yan smiled bitterly: "It is a country that we don't know very well, and the king who rules that country is also a king that we can't understand, and he will send troops to retaliate." ”

Su Jiao has seen Lu Zhe from afar, and he has the impression that Lu Zhe is an extremely decisive man, and he will have the impression that Lu Zhe at that time arranged for the army to kill all the Xiang clans who followed him to the alliance without saying a word, and it seems that Lu Zhe killed the Xiang clan and others just because the Xiang clan refused to recruit?

A person who has such a strong foundation in less than five years will not be an indecisive person, and now all that remains is to think about the time for the Han State to send troops north?

The Qin state had been at war for decades, and had not been able to recuperate after unification, and the country would have collapsed if it had not been for a strong army and strict laws. In the past five years, the Qin State has been fighting on multiple fronts, and the consumption of domestic materials has bottomed out, if it is not for the fact that it has been getting food from the Han State for the past one or two years, it is estimated that the lack of food can destroy the Qin State.

Now, the commander believes that the Han State has declared war on the Qin State because the caravan was attacked, and once the Qin and Han enter a state of war, where else can the Qin State get food? Without enough food, not to mention that the Qin State can no longer maintain the supply of nearly a million troops, there will definitely be a food shortage in the country because of the loss of this food channel, so that there will be no grassland Hu people, no Qi State, no Yan State, no Zhao State, and even no Han State, the Qin State will either continue to hold on to a large area of starvation people, or it will collapse itself.

Because of the right thing and did a stupid thing that affected the heavy dà, those Qin troops should not attack the Han people, no matter how aggrieved they are, they should continue to endure. But there is no way, Qin Jun is proud, and they are just doing what they should do.

"Can we send someone to explain?" Zhang Han asked tentatively.

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Han who was speaking, and they all showed hopeful expressions, and then looked at Xu Yan together.

"I don't think King Han will listen to our explanation," Su Jiao said sullenly, "I believe you have all heard what happened to the Xiang clan when you were in the Shenhui Alliance, and you all know that the Xiang clan was completely cleaned up later." ”

Yes, Lu Zhe was cautious in killing the seven members of the Xiang clan, and he didn't think about killing them all later, after all, subduing some remnants of the Xiang clan would be useful for completely recovering the power of the Chu State. However, the Xiang clan should not shout the slogan "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning", this is a curse, opening the curse for the Chinese to go to hell.

Lu Zhe had countless opportunities to claim himself king, and he also had the strength to claim himself king, and during that time, many subordinates were also urging and even persecuting, but he never did that.

Why do you have to wait until the first emperor and the other countries also continue to express the construction of the king of the prime minister before Lu Zhe officially called the king of the country! Why do it? Because he knows very well that with the first one, there will be a second, a third, a fourth, and an infinite number, and then the Chinese race has since entered the era when anyone who is a little bit can be the king, and since then the Chinese have the gene of not being willing to be lonely in their blood.

"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning" has become the slogan of the careerists, and the remnants of the Xiang family recited the spell, and Lu Zhe could only kill them all.

When Su Jiao mentioned this, everyone understood that Lu Zhe had never been a magnanimous person, and they had already put the reasons for the war between the two countries on Lu Zhe's desk, even if it was not the best time for the Han State to enter the war, Lu Zhe had no way to avoid war in order to fulfill his promise to protect the people of the Han State.

What the Qin army didn't know was that it wasn't just the Qin army that attacked the Han people, but the coalition army......
