Chapter 882 Zhao Gao has arrived
Seeing Qin An's confident look, the nobles shook their heads. No matter how confident Qin An was, they would not dare to bet.
No matter how cheap food is, there will be output every year. No matter how small the output is, it will still give them great benefits in the future.
As for how much profit Qin An said the business could bring to everyone, it was all Qin An said.
No one knows whether there are so many benefits.
In fact, Qin An's properties in Xianyang City and the businesses of the nobles are several times, even dozens of times, higher than the income from their fields.
It's just that transportation is inconvenient. Even if there are businessmen or nobles doing business in Handan City, they won't reveal too much.
Because these businessmen are agents, not manufacturers. If they reveal too much, they will lose more than they gain if they compete with them for agency rights.
But it's not like no news has been revealed.
For example, Jianglu's chain of restaurants opened in all the cities of Daqin, and Qin An's abilities were mentioned in pens, inks, paper, inkstones, lanterns, etc.
Coupled with the things Qin An invented and the promotion of salt and high-yielding grains, everyone in the world knew Qin An and respected Qin An very much.
Especially the big bosses of the Six Kingdoms who knew better than the nobles, so what they wanted was to capture Qin An.
The reason why that noble agreed to Qin An's request and gave up tens of thousands of acres of farmland in the clan was because he knew more than other nobles. .
This is all because he has a relative in Xianyang City, who wrote to him and told him that he must cooperate with Qin An so that the family can grow stronger and surpass those first-class families.
"Emperor Master, I believe you. But we have to leave some land for the family. This request is not too much." The noble said.
"It's not too much." Qin An shook his head and said, "I will give each of your tribe twenty acres of land, but these lands only have planting rights. There is no buying and selling rights.
I will tell you more about this later. "
"Master Imperial, the hot air balloon is back." General Cheng said again.
Qin An looked at the sky and indeed saw the hot air balloon, and then said: "Zhao Gao and the others should be arriving soon. General Cheng, get everyone ready."
"No." General Cheng immediately went down to make arrangements.
Qin An spoke again: "The special forces are preparing mortars and machine guns. As long as they dare to attack the city, you can fight back at will."
The special forces took the order and immediately placed their machine guns and mortars.
During this trip, Qin An was afraid of encountering such a situation, so Qin An brought a lot of mortars, machine guns, pistols and grenades.
There were so many carriages, ten of which were filled with weapons and ammunition.
If the journey goes smoothly and these weapons and ammunition are not used, then Qin An will go to Qi, Chu, Han and other places.
If there is no chance to use it in the six places, then Qin'an will hold a weapons exercise to let the nobles of the six places come and see the new weapons.
The news brought by the hot air balloon was somewhat different from what Qin An had guessed. Zhao Gao and the others were here, but he only led 3,000 cavalry to arrive first, and there were 50,000 infantry behind him who had not yet arrived. It would take some time.
The special forces on the hot air balloon informed Qin An of the news and then went to monitor the infantrymen.
Not long after the hot air balloon left, Qin An and others saw Zhao Gao and the cavalry behind him.
Qin An couldn't help but smile when he saw the dust rolling behind the cavalry. ..
"I want to attack the city with only 3,000 cavalry. This is because I look down on the strength of Handan City. I still think that my own combat power is very strong and I can capture Handan City with only 3,000 cavalry."
Lian Ji came to Qin An and said, "Master Emperor, do you need help from our Lian family?"
Qin An glanced at Lian Ji and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. A mere three thousand cavalrymen want to attack the city. It's just wishful thinking."
Believe it or not, I can wipe them all out without sacrificing a single soldier. "
Lian Ji twitched the corner of his mouth
, thought to himself: "This imperial master actually underestimates the enemy so much. I'm afraid that Handan City is in danger this time. It seems that we need to be prepared to help."
Then he gave Lin Chen a look, and Lin Chen nodded slightly at Lian Ji.
Qin An doesn't know all this.
Qin An just came to a group of anti-Qin forces such as He Er and said: "At present, only 3,000 cavalry have arrived at the city. It will take another hour to have 50,000 troops.
Do any of you have relatives or friends who are in the cavalry? "
"Me." He Er answered first, "I have a friend from the same village, his name is He Niu, and he is in the cavalry." "Okay, you will follow me later. Who else has friends who are also in the cavalry?"
"And me." Another leader said.
"And me." This time it was an ordinary subordinate.
Finally a dozen people stood up, all of whom had relatives and friends in the cavalry.
Some people have just one, some have more than a dozen, and of course, the most is twenty-one.
The reason why there are twenty-one is that the ordinary subordinates of this anti-Qin force were originally Zhao cavalry.
Qin An didn't ask the reason, and now was not the time to ask. He just asked everyone to stand behind him and wait until he said a few words first.
When Li Zuoche saw the hot air balloon reappearing, he knew that his three thousand cavalry had been exposed, and the city of Handan already knew about their situation.
He also knew that it was impossible to attack the city with only three thousand cavalry, and a forced attack would only result in the complete annihilation of the entire army.
He told Zhao Gao about this, and Zhao Gao never thought about attacking the city. He just pretended to attack the city, and then used words to stimulate Qin An and others to go out to attack them.
As long as the opponent dares to leave the city, they can defeat the opponent even if the opponent has 10,000 troops.
The biggest fear is that the other party refuses to leave the city.
Zhao Gao also thought that the other party would not leave the city, and this possibility was very high. Therefore, Zhao Gao's purpose was to use words to deceive the truth in the city, and then wait for the arrival of the army.
At that time, the reality in the city had been discovered, and his army had arrived, so he could attack the city.
And this time, Zhao Gao planned to spare no effort to attack the city. All 50,000 troops would attack the city. He only needed to attack the city and capture Qin An in his hands.
As for the fifty thousand troops, Zhao Gao didn't care at all whether they lived or died.
And Zhao Gao didn't tell Li Zuoche about all this. Every time Li Zuoche wanted to ask Zhao Gao what to do next.
Zhao Gao's answer was one sentence, I have my own arrangements, you don't need to ask.
Li Zuoche was also helpless about this, but whoever allowed himself to have leverage in the other party's hands would have consequences worse than death if he disobeyed.
Now that they were about to arrive at Handan City, Li Zuoche spoke again: "Sir, we will arrive at the city soon. Do you want me to find out what's going on in the city for you?"
"That's fine. Remember, don't attack the city blindly." Zhao Gao reminded.
