"Yes, Xiaoliu, it's me. Xiaoliu." The thin man shouted.

"His mother, I got something to make a fortune again." The Qin army corporal shouted loudly.

"Nothing." Xiao Liu said.

"Just some stones." Xiao Liu said.

"These stones are needed in the Guanzhong area," Xiao Liu said. There is only one person in Xiaoliu. There are no horses walking on the grasslands or deserts. This situation is indeed very strange.

Xiaoliu is not from Qin, he is from Chu, because Chu can't live. The immigrants went to Qin to bring him to the north, and the life of drifting and exodus gave him a lot of knowledge. He has been to many places, such as Handan, Yunzhong, Yandu, Liaodong, Qi, and then quickly went south to Xinzheng, South Korea. , And then arrived in Xianyang of Qin State, along the railway to the north of Qin State, and finally settled on the northern grassland of Qin State.

It is impossible for Xiaoliu to work hard because he is too thin. The long-term displacement of life has made him malnourished. Therefore, he is thin and thin. But he has his advantage, the life of abundance, let him see extraordinary, know what kind of person needs what. After Xiaoliu came to the north, he gradually got used to this place, especially dealing with those folklore, thick Huns, which made him comfortable.

Xiaoliu had dealt with the Huns slaves. Although the honest and honest Huns were powerful on the surface, their folk customs were very simple. This kind of character makes him such a flexible person very tasty.

Xiao Liu, who has been to the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin State, knows that Qin State urgently needs a kind of stone, which is very hard. It looks very black and shiny, but Qin does not produce such stones. Such stones are only found in the northernmost area occupied by the Huns, and the place of origin is today's Siberia. There is a kind of diamond produced there. This diamond comes from the erosion of the river. The locals can only pick it up accidentally from the river. The locals only use this hard stone as a weapon, or an arrow, or use a weapon. Or, the most precious decorations are used. Such stones appeared in Qin at that time and it was a very accidental opportunity that Qin noticed.

The State of Qin used to sweep the tribes of the Huns, large and small. After the people of the Qin State swept away the tribes, they would take away everything and burn everything that could not be taken. The Huns had conflicts with the locals in the north. Appeared accidentally on the Huns, and after Qin killed the Huns, they thought that the pellets hanging on their necks were the most precious things, so they took this kind of things back.

But this kind of decoration is black and shiny, and has no practical use, and then it was sold to Xianyang in Qin State at a low price. People like this thing are useless, and it was also a very accidental opportunity that a gun barrel worker from Qin State bought such a thing. Maybe it's because of curiosity, or maybe it's because of boredom. In short, after the purchase, it is useless, just curiously take it by your side to play with it. Because of occupational habits, the barrel needs to be drilled, and the drill requires special steel. After long-term drilling, the special steel drill bit is easy to wear. Perhaps because of fun, the worker put the stone on the drill bit and a miracle happened. After continuous drilling, especially after exceeding the drilling limit of those special steels, this unremarkable stone attracted the attention of the workers, and then the stone was sent to Qin's research room, but Qin's researchers I don't know why this thing is so hard, the people of Qin people call him a diamond, because this kind of stone can be used on drill bits. The development of Qin Guo's industry especially needs such drills to further improve the technology.

Therefore, the State of Qin immediately carried out investigations and finally learned that such stones were produced in the north of the Huns. So the people of Qin began to search vigorously, but the harvest was very scarce. In desperation, the State of Qin could only hope for those merchants. There seems to be nothing difficult that no businessman can't do.

Xiaoliu was such a businessman. Qin went to the north occupied by the Huns to find such a stone. The price of this small stone was as high as six hundred gold. Such huge profits are enough to allow the merchants to take enough risks to enter the area controlled by the Huns. Looking for such a stone, it is precisely this kind of incentive, Qin Guo subsequently obtained a large number of such diamonds.

In Qin, diamonds are not ornaments, but an important industrial resource. This industrial resource will greatly improve the level of industrial manufacturing. The State of Qin needs such resources.

"Make a lot of money this trip," the corporal said, holding his rifle.

"En. Earn, give the eldest brother a little bit of wine." Xiao Liu said.

"Hey, you still have enough loyalty," Corporal Qin Jun said.

"Come over," the corporal said.

"Okay." Xiao Liu smiled and left.

Watching Xiao Liu leave. The corporal said to himself.

"I don't know how many broken guns were used in exchange for so many valuable things." The corporal said to himself. Then continue to check the scope of their observation.

In the beginning, the trade with the Huns was very difficult, mainly because of the double hatred. However, as time went by, after the Xiongnu gained a firm foothold, they began to recover quickly, and Qin was unable to attack further at this time because of its limited military strength. This gave the Huns time to regain their national power, but unfortunately, the Huns large and small tribes began to fight internally. Such internal fights began to allow the Huns to introduce a weapon. This weapon is a weapon they all fear and advocates violence. The Huns need a lot of muskets to subdue each other, and only in this way can the other party obey.

And Qin's muskets gave the Huns a devastating impression. This impression made the Huns find a way to get muskets from the Qin people, and the Qin people made a large number of such muskets, and they just took advantage of the trend to sell such muskets to where they were needed. And the continuous arms business can bring huge profits, but the northern part of Qin is hostile. The stalemate in the war allowed the short-term rise of trade, whether it could continue. It also depends on whether Qin’s policy permits commercial activities.

"Qin Guo hasn't made a decision for a long time. If this continues, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to us." Zhang Liang said.

"Qin also needs to make his own judgment based on his own situation. Such judgment comes from Qin's own knowledge." An assistant said.

"En." Zhang Liang nodded, agreeing with this view. Qin did not reply for a long time. Although Zhang Liang knew that it would take some time to sign the treaty of the alliance between the two countries, such a long wait would be detrimental to South Korea, and a long wait would be detrimental to South Korea.

"Perhaps, some conditions are not mature enough, and we still need something to allow the people of Qin to make some choices. But, what are these conditions?" Zhang Liang asked. The assistant on the side looked at Zhang Liang unclearly.

"Wait, time will tell." Zhang Liang looked at the assistant and said.

On a mountain road in a hilly area in the south of Qi, a Chu army logistics supply convoy was slowly advancing, and the army was consuming more and more materials. The fleet of logistical materials was getting longer and longer, but Chu was unable to mobilize more fleets for logistical supplies. Coupled with harassment, Chu can only dispatch more than a hundred vehicles and supplies quickly. This method of dispatching the team greatly disperses the guarding force that is not much. As a result, the Chu army's logistics supply line was extremely weak. However, Yingyu's guerrillas grew rapidly in such a favorable environment.

"Is the artillery ready?" a guerrilla officer whispered. He had already received information from the scouts that a convoy of more than one hundred bullock carts was approaching here.

After receiving this message, the guerrillas were immediately ready. They wanted to ambush each other, and then waited for the time to come before they quickly launched an offensive.

"Sir, we have cannons. We are not afraid of them. Now there are very few Chu people's guards." A young Qi countryman approached with a knife. The guerrillas’ weapons are still very scarce. Even if they seized a large number of Chu army’s weapons, the Qi guerrillas have expanded very quickly. Yingyu’s guerrillas have been expanded from the original company to a battalion, and then this battalion has been expanded from the original company to a battalion. It quickly expanded into a regiment, and then the size of a brigade. The organization is getting bigger and bigger, but the tactics are still ambushes and sneak attacks are the main thing. Such a rapid expansion caused a problem, that is, two-fifths of the guerrillas still lack weapons, especially muskets. On average, three or four people have a musket. On such a scale, they can't fight many wars. Fortunately, the Chu army continued to transport some artillery, and the seized artillery allowed them to use an average of manpower.

"Then you have to be careful. Once we encounter a large army of the Chu army, we can't eat it. Many people have been killed. The chief won't let us do this. You know." said the Qiguo guerrilla officer. Said to be officers, in fact, it is to select some experienced people, choose them as officers, and then conduct some intensive training, and then spread out, and after several ambushes alone, they can independently lead a team. Most of the guerrilla officers were promoted in this way.

"En." The Qi countryman with the knife left carefully.

"Wow." As he said, a group of bullock carts appeared on the road.

"Crunch, crunch." The wheels of the bullock cart made a harsh rubbing sound. Chu Jun and the folks were walking feebly.

"They're here," a guerrilla group whispered. The others didn't speak, they just watched quietly, watching these Qi people slowly approaching.

"Click." Some guerrillas carefully opened the fire door and slowly put their fingers on the trigger.
