Horse and Liquor War

Horse and Liquor War was a period of war between the State of Jin and the state of Qin centuries ago.

History

In the 14th year of Boku Kou reign, the king asked their neighboring state Jin for aid as the Qin kingdom was suffering from famine. He hoped they would show the same courtesy as he had shown them last year when Jin suffered from famine. Boku Kou supplied them with food and hoped they would do the same.

However, this was not the case as they rallied an army to invade Qin. Boku Kou was enraged, and he stood in the vanguard himself. With its greater morale, the Qin army excelled against the great state of Jin in the opening of the war.

But the shortage of supplies, mainly food and water made Qin lose strength as time passed. Making the state of war shift in Jin's favor. Boku Kou was then surrounded by the Jin army as a group of 300 mountain people came to Qin's aid by a stroke of luck. They are known as the Horse & Liquor Force.

They came to repay the debt incurred towards Boku Kou. Not only did they route the Jin army, but they also captured their king and brought him before Boku Kou. However, their ferocity displayed during the fighting was so fierce that even their own Qin allies were greatly fearful of them.
