Technology is a secret, but the cost does not seem to be technology. Ou Chou thought so, and he has been strong all his life, and he speaks and does things hard, and he comes into contact with noble people, so he does not know how to deceive falsely. Guo Zong's expression can only be described as a staggering look. The treasure sword that swept the world is only worth a thousand coins.

After being surprised, he was secretly happy again, thinking that this time he went to Chu. If he could get skills from Chu, it would be a huge profit. Most of the Zhao troops hundreds of thousands were bronze weapons, and they were mostly leather armor. If they were disguised as giant soldiers and giant armor, the profit would be as profit as the sea.

In addition to Zhao State, the Rong people were also a big business. Before Shang Yang's reform in Qin State, the Rong people often came to Luoyang to trade. After Qin State occupied Luoyang, the Rong people had to go around the territory of Qin State and come to Handan to trade. With Guo Zong's knowledge, although the Rong people's "path" was profitable, they could be expensive. If they could use a treasure knife to repeal the Rong people, the profit would never be less than that in Zhao State.

The profit was so huge that Guo Zong suddenly felt a little afraid. If the court found evidence of rebellion and killed the clan, it would be over. Nowadays, King Zhao and Hou Chunping, Prince Qian and Prince Jia, the dispute over the throne became more and more intense, and the government was in chaos and unclear. Not only did the merchants, even the doctors dared not talk about the ascension of the throne.

"Haha, sir, are you joking?" Wei Jia couldn't help laughing dryly when he saw Guo Zong being stunned. "How could such a treasure knife be worth only a thousand coins?"

"If my benefactor doesn't believe me, I'm helpless." Ou Chou returned the sword to Guo Zong. "The king of my country is a man of heaven. He once told us that bronze must be replaced by giant iron. Giant iron is expensive, which is a matter of the past. Giant iron may not be worth ten coins in the future."

"Isn't it worth ten yuan?" Guo Zong felt that his heart was about to jump out. If Chu State really had ten yuan in huge iron, he would have to buy it and bring it back to Zhao State.

"Mr. Ou Chou?" As he spoke, the old-age slinger suddenly appeared. He was not here, but heard that the great craftsman was rescued and came here on a small boat. "It's really Mr. Ou Chou."

Zhao sent troops, and the army had already set out of Zhao Great Wall and adjacent to the Yellow River in the south. Crossing the river was Puyang in Qin, and Puyang crossed the Pu River in the south was Wei State. It depends on whether the King of Wei agrees or not. If the three kings of Zhao, Wei and Chu agree to join forces, and then attack Qin State.

"I've seen the big tutor." Ou Chou naturally knew him, but he didn't expect that the young tutor was also on the boat.

"Sir, don't have to be too polite." Jing Guanzi's voice was still loud, "When you meet a gentleman, the Qin people will return it a hundred times in the future."

"Qin is a country of tigers, wolfs, birds and beasts. If all countries can work together, they should kill them again." Wei Jia said with the trend. The purpose of his trip was to join forces again, and whether to join forces or not is ignored. Anyway, Qin could not only attack Zhao.

As he was shouting and killing, Ou Chou couldn't help but think that perhaps he was waiting for his family in Xianyang. He wanted to tell him that, but he felt that it was useless. He also asked the King of Yingdu for the King. Thinking of the vicious Qin people, he fled like this, fearing that the Qin people had killed them. Thinking of this, he had no interest in talking anymore, and only hoped to see the King earlier.

The boats walked down the gulf and walked a hundred and twenty miles a day. When they arrived at Xiangcheng and Rushui, they followed the Rushui and then went straight to Yingdu. Yingdu was still the same. Before they could dock, they saw that there were people greeting people on the dock. Zhao envoy went to Chu to discuss Hezong. The Chu State was so generous that Wei Jia and others felt very uneasy. This was not what they wanted to be Hezong.

"I have met the envoy Zhao, and the great master. Mr. Ou Chou..." It was the granddaughter Shen Yinhua who went out of the city to greet him. Wei Jia and Jae Guanzi stood in front, and he saw it at a glance. Ou Chou stood behind the two of them, and he also saw it.

"Dare you ask if the king is in Yingdu?" asked Yu Guanzi. When he was passing through Xiangcheng, he heard that the king was still supervising the battle in Chengyang, and the Chu army was fighting with the Qin army on the border.

"Go back to the Great Fu, the King is not in Yingdu." Shen Yinhua replied. "Our army and the Qin army fought in Magu..., Oh, let's talk about it before returning to the city."

It was indeed hard to talk about military affairs in public, and Shen Yin-Yu immediately welcomed everyone to the inn. At this time, Yu Guanzi asked in detail: "Where is Magu? How is our army? Why are we fighting the Qin army in Magu?"

"Magu..." Magu has always been a place where military strategists must fight, and Shen Yin-Yi couldn't figure out where Magu was. He said: "The Grand Sima Yan came out of Magu and was Biyang in Nanyang County, Qin. This is a battle of revenge for our army. The King Yan will take the land of Qin."

"Biyang?" This is familiar to Fengguanzi. Nanyang County of Qin is Wanjun of Chu. Wanjun is like a big plate. There are many mountain roads around it to enter. This Magu is like a mountain road like Fuyi. "Why not compete for Jiyi? This is the great way for the Qin army to advance eastward."

When Wu Guanzi asked Xiang Yan and Peng Zong's questions, he didn't think of attack at all. He was only considering defense. After all, attacking Wanjun with the national strength of Chu was undoubtedly a dream. But because of this, when 50,000 Chu troops entered the valley in large numbers, the Qin army was caught off guard. Magu was a valley, and the Qin cavalry could not leave the valley. The Chu army marched at night, transporting grain at night, and the offensive intention was heavily concealed. When tens of thousands of Chu troops appeared in Magu, the Qin army was no longer in a hurry to equipment.

"I don't know this either. However, our army has occupied the entire territory of Magu at this time, and may advance to Biyang." Shen Yinhua said. "The mansion has condemned the craftsmen. Magu is only a single track and cannot be maintained without double regulations."

The 50-mile horse valley mountain was adjacent to each other. During the snow season, the valley was trampled by soldiers and horses, and it was muddy and difficult to move. In addition, the Qin army destroyed the road again when retreating, so that the four-wheeled carriage towed by the two horses could only carry forty stones, which was only one-third of the normal transportation volume. The catapult was even worse. Four of the first batch were transported, two of which were broken, and one of them injured, so that the artillery did not dare to transport them again.

But it is not all bad. The widest part of the Magu is only two and a half miles wider. Although there is a wider place, the places where you can really fight in an array are about three miles. The formation of this width is only one thousand, and 10,000 or 20,000 people are blocked there, and there will be no attack in three days. What I really worry about is that the valley road is narrow and long. If surprise troops are cut off from the mountain road, and then attack inside and outside, the Chu army in the double-team will be defeated. But if this surprise troops cannot defeat the Chu army, then they will be out of food.

The Battle of Magu is a surprise attack in a short time, and a supply battle in a long time. Therefore, Xiang Yan divided Magu into four, set up a battalion every ten miles, with ten thousand people in each battalion, and tried his best to store grain to prevent the Qin soldiers from counterattacking and cutting off the food route.

"Report to the general! Today is forty chariots, one hundred and ten chariots are chased." The front line of Magu is Xiang Shi, who carriages carry grain twice a day. What Xiang Zhi is most worried about is that a section of the valley behind him is cut off by the Qin soldiers.

"Why is it less than yesterday?" Xiang Zhi asked. The Xiang army had less than 15,000 people, forty cars, and one hundred and ten chasings were enough for the entire army to eat for two days, but the rear was carrying all its food, and the number of arrivals in half a day was significantly less than that in the previous few days.

"Say yes... said the king was coming." The military officer couldn't help but feel a little excited. Although the king was young, he was brave and wise, and he ate and drank with the soldiers. He treated the soldiers like his brothers and feet. The respect and love of the soldiers was self-evident.

"The king is coming?" Xiang Zhi squeezed his face hard and rubbed his face a few times, then put on his military uniform, and asked, "When will it be my teacher?"

"Maybe it's tomorrow, or maybe it's the next day." The military officer also heard the emperor's hand on the grain cart.

"I already know, go." Xiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This place is already the entrance of the valley, and it is 240 miles from Chengyang. Even if you ride a horse, it will take three or four days to arrive. The king probably will not be able to arrive at the military camp after three or four days.

He thought so, but Xiong Jing and Peng Zong had arrived at the Jijun Mountain at the Gukou. The Jijun Mountain was dozens of miles wide, not only a thousand feet high, but also more than the source of water. The Magu Valley Road came from the northwest and turned to the bottom of the Jijun Mountain and went south to the valley. If history had not changed, Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was chased by Wang Mang's army, and it was only when he fled into the Magu and entered the mountain that he disappeared. The snow was covered with pines and cypresses, and there were many deciduous trees in the green. Perhaps it was strangely cold in the mountains, and not only was there snow on the dead branches, but there were also some ice ridges under the branches.

"The Qin Dynasty is infiltration, and it follows the rivers and lakes." The original Yue word is much simpler than "there are trees on the mountain and branches". Xiong Jing, who was riding on the horse, looked at the giant trees on the mountain, and naturally thought of the Qin Dynasty's sees the Qin Dynasty.

He was interested in chanting poems about the mountains and forests. The temple masters and historians looked bitter. The mountain roads were single-track, so that they could not affect transportation, so the group could only ride horses. The stirrups were not as high as saddles, and they didn't feel anything when they walked for more than ten miles. After thirty miles, they couldn't hold the horse's body and swayed around and worried about falling off the horse at any time. Especially when the right Shi was old, he was already lying on the horse, holding his mane and not daring to put it down.

More than 1,100 four-wheeled carriages are transporting grains on the entire line. In addition to the four-wheeled carriage, there are 30,000 chariots who are transporting grains on chariots. If they are to be transported to the front line, the carriage can transport 3,600 s of grains per day, and the carriage can transport 3,250 s of grains per day for 68,500 people. However, not all grains are transported to the front line now, and there are no 68,000 people in the valley, so two thousand s of millet can be stored every day.

There are more than 40 vehicles per mile. Looking at the chariots back and forth, Xiong Jing had to sigh. Without waterways, he relied on manpower alone to transport millet. In the case of transporting millet, the maximum attack distance is 300 miles (10-day one-way distance). This mileage is equal to the number of people on the front line, and the number of people on the transport capacity must be; if the transporter is transported, the maximum attack distance is 510 miles (17-day one-way distance). At this time, the number of people on the front line eats grain, and the number of people on the rear must transport grain.

At this time, the role of the horse is reflected: if the road is easy to move, 510 miles of long-distance attacks will only require 2,570 four-wheeled carriages, 5,140 horses, and 5,140 horses; if the battles of 1,200 miles of 1,200 miles of only 9,000 four-wheeled carriages, 18,000 horses, and 18,000 horses. The side with the horse can always go further, transport more, and save more manpower to become soldiers rather than as a husband.

The State of Chu lacks horses and people, and wants to attack by long distances, so the result can only be one: the horse-drawn railway.
