"What a pity Li Mu!" Yu Qing also sighed in the same way.

Regardless of the relationship between Bingzhou and Zhao State, given Li Mu's military talents, Qin State would never allow him to obtain a high position.

When Lord Wu An was white, there might not be anyone who could defeat him, but it was not impossible that he could withstand him. As a result, what was not obtained on the battlefield, Qin Guoguo obtained outside the battlefield.

So Lian Po, who had withstood Bai Qi's three-year attack, was dismissed!

Today's Li Mu will also end up like Lian Po. If the Qin army cannot attack for a long time, then the Qin State will find a way outside the battlefield.

Regarding the State of Zhao, Yu Qing knew very well that as long as the State of Qin thought about it, Li Mu would definitely be dismissed.

In the end, the reason is that the legacy of King Wuling of Zhao is too deep. The feud between Daijun and Handan has been affecting it to this day. However, due to the geographical location, almost all of Zhao Guoneng's enemies came from Daijun and were not from the same group as Handan.

Handan would not trust the generals who came from Daijun. They would rather use people from the royal family and people from Handan.

Therefore, no matter how good Li Mu is at fighting, as long as someone blows the whistle, King Zhao will definitely abandon him.

"It's okay this time. Zhao Guo obviously knows that he has given in!" Yu Qing said with a smile, "Zhao Guo sent Guo Kai who is more friendly with Bingzhou this time!"

Therefore, if Bingzhou wants to prevent trade from being blocked by the State of Zhao, Guo Kai's help must be indispensable. In this sense, Guo Kai is indeed a nobleman of Bingzhou.

Guo Kai had Lu Buwei's means, and he was able to support Zhao Qian from the son to the prince, and to the king of Zhao all the way. He naturally had the means, but he had Lu Buwei's means, but he did not have Lu Buwei's talents.

A guy who made his fortune by flattery, a guy who helped Zhao Qian to the throne when Zhao Wangqian was still not the prince.

In terms of being a good politician, this guy is a qualified politician, but in terms of ability, Yan Chunjun has reservations.

The only thing that made Yan Chunjun curious was how much Bingzhou gave Guo Kai, so that Guo Kai could unlimitedly allow Bingzhou to import all necessities in large quantities.

Yan Chunjun understood in an instant that with such a large transaction volume in Bingzhou, Guo Kai, as the Prime Minister of Zhao State, must have taken a lot of profits from it.

In addition to grain and grass, salt and iron are Zhao's restricted war preparation materials. Even if Bingzhou wants to import large quantities from the Central Plains, it will be difficult for Bingzhou to obtain them if Zhao does not let them go.

"Zhao Xiang Guo Kai?" Yan Chunjun was a little surprised. Although he had never seen Guo Kai, he knew about it.

"Mr. Yan Chun may not believe it, but the Prime Minister is really a noble man. As long as Bingzhou can afford the price, he will sell anything!" Yu Qing said with a smile.

This is the fate of Zhao's famous generals!

Regarding the relationship between Zhao Guo and Bingzhou, he was very curious whether Zhao Guo would cause any trouble again!

Everyone thought that Lu Buwei was just a businessman with rare goods, but they forgot that Lu Buwei was able to occupy a high position in the Qin State, one person below ten thousand people, not only with his vision and means, but also with his personal ability!

He was a ruthless man who could suppress even the princes and ministers. He not only relied on the power of dragons and tricks, but he was also a good hand in politics.

"Who will Zhao send as the envoy this time?" Yan Chunjun was a little curious.

"Many supplies in Bingzhou need to be imported from abroad, and most of the customs and trade exchanges in Bingzhou need to go through the State of Zhao, so Prime Minister Guo is our nobleman!" Yu Qing emphasized the word nobleman with a smile.

He didn't know how Gongsun Linglong persuaded Guo Kai, but the result was that Bingzhou's demand for weapons had never been blocked by Zhao.

Even among the weapons obtained, many of the equipment are Zhao's standard weapons!
If he said that Guo Kai and the powerful men in Handan were not selling arms, he wouldn't believe it!

Thinking again about Li Mu grazing on grass and squeezing out the pitiful armaments at Yanmen Pass, Yu Qin became more sympathetic to Li Mu and looked down on Zhao Guo even more. The generals who devoted themselves to serving the country were eating grass and squeezing blood, but in the end they were not taken seriously, while those who resold the country's military supplies rose all the way up and became the prime minister of the country.

It can only be said that Zhao Guo has a way to kill himself.

"Equipment of the Hedong Army!" Yan Yan looked at the warehouse full of equipment and sighed deeply.

He finally understood why the Hedong army, which was the gateway to Zhao State, would not even be able to withstand the first round of Qin army's attack in the future.

The military supplies and equipment of the entire Hedong army have been sold, so how many people will be left with empty pay?

How many people are there in the Hedong Army, which is said to be one hundred thousand elite troops? How much fighting power is left?

"Those people in Handan said that as long as the money is available, they will all sell!" Gongsun Linglong said seriously.

At first, they just wanted Zhao to open up trade barriers and allow salt, iron and other military supplies to enter Bingzhou, but they did not expect that Handan's appetite and courage were too great.

They were no longer satisfied with just making money from the salt and iron imported from Bingzhou. As long as Bingzhou could afford the price, they would even dare to sell the military supplies for the Hedong army.

If Bingzhou could still afford the price, they could even get veterans of the Hedong army for Bingzhou.

That was the Hedong Army, a veteran of hundreds of battles who had fought with the Qin State for many years. Their rich combat experience was among the best in the world.

"Mo Crow!" Yan Yan thought for a while and shouted in a low voice.

"Here!" Mo Ya didn't hesitate.

"Let the military commander send people to sneak into the Hedong army and lobby the generals. If they are willing to come to Bingzhou, they can be hired as instructors at Gaoquesai Military Academy with a high salary!" Yan Yan spoke again.

The Hedong Army has been destroyed, and I am afraid that many generals and generals of the Hedong Army are also looking for a way out. Instead of wasting them in the Qin-Zhao War in the future, it is better to fish them out in advance.

At least these people should not have died in vain in that war for which they were powerless. In that war, there was not much difference between them and without them.

"Here!" Mo Ya nodded.

He knew who the generals Yan Yan was talking about were, not the incompetent people who were lying on their bodies, but the real pillars of the Hedong army, those who were depressed but had real talent and learning.

These people are not valued in Zhao State, but they are very coveted in Bingzhou.

Those who can withstand Qin's several attacks and fight back and forth with Qin are also rare generals in Bingzhou.

What the military commander has to do is to sneak into the Hedong army, discover these talents, and then find a way to bring them into Bingzhou!

"Give me money? Don't you know how poor Bingzhou is?" Yan Yan looked at Gongsun Linglong and was a little dissatisfied. He really didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were for a family member!
I can recruit people based on my strength, so why should I spend that unjust money on Handan?

"..." Gongsun Linglong was speechless. I am the Foreign Minister, not an intelligence department. Naturally, I follow the authority of the Foreign Minister's Office.

"In addition, the Prime Minister of Qi won the title of Lord of Salt Collection!" Gongsun Linglong continued to report the information from the Foreign Minister's Office.

"Salt collector?" Yan Yan was stunned. According to his plan for Hou Sheng, how could he become a salt collector? After all, Hou Sheng had really driven down the price of salt.

The commodity that is depreciating the fastest nowadays is salt. Refined salt, which was originally something that ordinary people could not even take a look at, is now affordable to ordinary people, and the price is really continuing to drop.
