Qin Lei's carriage drove outside the East City and met a convoy who had been waiting by the official road.

"The Fourth Prince asked for a meeting." Shi Gan said in a deep voice outside the car.

"Come in." Before Qin Lei finished speaking, the Prince Jianming, who was full of sorrow, got into the car.

Seeing his dejected look, Qin Lei smiled and comforted: "Don't be too frustrated, everything will be fine."

"I don't want to be excited, but now there are mountains of valuable goods on the left," Qin Ji waved his hands and said excitedly: "On the one hand, there is a deficit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every day. When I think about it, I have three big brains. This job is really not done by humans. Brother, you should ask for another clever one."

Seeing that he was about to give up, Qin Lei was not in a hurry and advised in a gentle voice: "It is inevitable that things will go ups and downs, which is exciting. If there is no waves all day long, what's the point?"

"The ups and downs are of course interesting." Qin Ji said angrily: "But since the previous year, there have been only downs and downs, who can stand it?" He began to announce his retirement and stay away from this damn Silk Road.

Qin Lei was still lukewarm. He smiled and said, "How about trying again?"

Qin Ji's eyes widened when he heard this, and the mole on his forehead turned red like cinnabar. He looked at him like an angry bull, and roared in a low voice: "I won't do anything I say!"

Qin Lei smiled unanimously, took out a map from under the seat, waved to his hands and said, "Come and see."

Although Qin Ji still looked angry, his eyes were already aiming at the strange-style map. When he saw that there was a familiar place name on it, he shouted: "Map of the Western Regions?" This is really useful to the caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions.

"It's not just the Western Regions." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "This includes the entire Eurasian continent and North Africa." Regardless of whether Qin Ji could understand it, he pointed out a few points on the map: "In addition to some small countries in the Western Regions, the European countries, Persia, Dashi, Khwarezm, and Tianzhu, these are the major countries we can contact... If we want to open up sales and make money all over the world, we will fall on these countries."

"Make money all over the world?" This is Qin Ji's lifelong ambition. When he heard Qin Lei say this, his heart beat violently and squirted, "There are no wars in these countries, right?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Lei was smug and nodded, "In addition to the European countries that were busy exploring the east, there were also the countries that were tired of dealing with, the rest of the countries can become the market for your simple princes!"

"Tell me quickly." Qin Ji rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Let's see if you start from there first."

"Here, Khwarezm." Qin Lei pointed to a certain place in the southwest of the Western Regions and said: "This country is now under the rule of the 'Seljuk Dynasty'. It has not been established for a long time and is still in its rising period. It is politically stable and has a vast territory. Their nobles will like the goods you bring. Moreover, it is Persia in the east and Tianzhu in the south. You can reach these two places by opening it!"

"Persia, Tianzhu?" Qin Ji smiled and said, "I have heard of these two countries. Isn't Persia the Turks driven away by the former Tang Dynasty? Tianzhu... seems to be the hometown of monks. Master Xuanzang from the former Tang Dynasty is still coming to seek scriptures."

"Don't underestimate these two countries," Qin Lei shook his head slightly and said: "Take Persia as an example, it is located in the center of Eurasia, and it brings together scientific and technological knowledge from Greece, Rome, China and India. After integrating it, it has been developed and developed, with a very high level of civilization."

"It can be said that when the two peaks are today, one is our China and the other is the Arab world represented by Persian Food. They have many excellent things worth learning from." He said with a smile and said, "Of course, there are more wealth like the Persian Gulf waiting for us to earn."

Although I don’t know what the Persian Gulf is, Qin Ji still smiled and nodded, “If I can be half as strong as my China, then I can give you the deficit.”

"Good!" Qin Lei said, "Let's look at another magical country, Tianzhu. This country has a strict caste system, and the Hindu monks who specialize in sacrifices are at the top of power and monopolize religious affairs. Some Brahmins are also involved in political affairs. They are the "Khartis" warrior class who holds military and political power. They rule this rich land full of gold and enslave civilians and slaves who account for the vast majority of the population. The wealth of the country is highly concentrated in the hands of a few people, who spend money like land, are greedy and ignorant. If you can't make their money, I despise you from the bottom of my heart."

After saying this, Qin Ji was excited again, and he wanted to go to Persia, India, and Khwarezm immediately to exchange the mountains of luxury goods for real gold and silver!

After snatching the map, Qin Ji held it in his hand and said, "I will give it a lesson and set off!"

"It would be better if you can go in person," Qin Lei nodded in praise and said, "I will give you 20,000 elite cavalry escorts. On the one hand, I will ensure the safety of you and the goods, and on the other hand, I will also show our strength to make the trade smoother." As he said that, he patted his brother on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Remember, we are the strongest country in the world. You are leading the most elite armed forces in the world. Don't suffer any losses."

Qin Ji nodded fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Those who offend me, who are strong in Qin will be punished even if they are far away!" Then he clasped his fists and left the carriage, parting ways with Qin Lei.

After breaking up with the old fourth place, Qin Lei, under the escort of the black-armored cavalry, went south for nearly a thousand miles to inspect the Xiangyang Lake naval army.

But after entering the heavily guarded Xiangyang Lake, Qin Lei did not inspect the newly built warships, but ordered the black-armored cavalry to change into the clothes of the baggage soldiers, mix in the real baggage team, and headed towards the northeast without any hurry or slow.

This army that transported shipbuilding materials for the Xiangyang Lake Shipyard only returned to the departure city of Luoyang City at the end of April. They filled the warehouse in Luoyang City with goods and sent it to Xiangyang Lake in the southwest again.

Qin Lei and his black-clothed guards left them quietly and entered the camp of Zhendong Army outside the city while the night was dark.

The personal soldiers who had been guarding the door led King Wu Cheng and his party into the camp and went directly outside the central army's tent. The leading personal soldiers went in to report. After a while, the curtain was lifted, revealing Qin Li's burly and heroic figure.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Qin Li made way to the door and asked Qin Lei to come in.

After entering the camp, two pairs of big hands were tightly held together, and Qin Li lowered his voice and smiled: "It can be considered waiting for you to come."

Qin Lei also smiled and said, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Before he could say goodbye, Qin Lei went straight to the point: "Are the troops ready?"

"Only on standby." Qin Li smiled confidently: "Of course, it will take a certain amount of time to set up the camp, and you can set off at noon tomorrow."

"Very good!" Qin Lei had time to take off his cloak and wipe his face with a towel and said, "Let them sleep well and announce the order tomorrow morning."

"Which unit is operating with our Fourth Army?" During the reorganization of the entire army, the Zhendong Army was organized into the Fourth Army of the Defense Kingdom, so Qin Li said this: "Of course it's not better, the credit is all ours."

"The First Army will work together with you." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled, "We can't be too arrogant," and said with a powerful punch, "This battle must start!" Since the fourth year of Tianyou, Shen Qing led the First Army to station in the Hangu Pass area. Except for day and night practice, he did not take any action. It turned out to be the foreshadowing laid for today.

"That's great." Qin Li laughed and said, "I began to have confidence in the two armies in total 150,000 infantry, 100,000 cavalry, and 50,000 special forces!"

"The Second Army and the newly formed Sixth Army will set out from them tomorrow as a strategic reserve." Qin Lei said in a solemn voice: "Once our attack is blocked, we will start a wheel war and take down this tiger prison at all costs!"

Hearing that two other troops were also joined in the sequence of this battle, Qin Li was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you have taken out all your assets, we must win now!"

The regular army of the entire Qin State was reorganized into seven armies by Qin Lei, and the current commander of the First Guard Army was Shen Qing... The original commander Huangfu Zhanwen was ordered to form the Seventh Army. The four divisions of the former Jingshan Army, Shenwu Army and Iron Armor Army were reorganized, totaling 150,000 people, with well-equipped, rich experience, and high morale. They can be said to be Qin Lei's direct ace.
