General Qin

"The people of Qin are only willing to give one hundred and fifty gold and twenty carts of grain?"

Yue Wang Wuyou slapped the table in front of him with a "slap", his face was full of anger: "What a man from Qin, he even said that he is a big country in the world, but he is so stingy."

"The general of the Qin State said that they are bound by the law and cannot be exchanged for armor, so they are willing to give an extra fifty gold. As for food, they also have to eat food, so they can only take out twenty carts. From my point of view, it is It's almost there."

Zou Wuyue explained while thinking in his mind.

He asked for two hundred gold from the people of Qin, but the king of Yue only needed to pay one hundred and fifty gold.

Once he comes and goes, he will have a profit of 50 gold, so he is determined to make it happen.

But unexpectedly, Yue Wang Wuyou quit.

"I don't want any money, but I have to ask for their armor. As you said earlier, this king remembered that these Chu people and Qin people have excellent soldiers and armor. If they equip my king with their armor and weapons The people, I will definitely defeat the two idiots Zou Yao and Zou Wuzhu, and then this king will be able to unify Yue and become the real king of Yue!"

Yue Wang Wuyou became more and more excited as he talked.

Since the unified state of Yue was broken by the Chu people a hundred years ago, the princes and grandchildren of Yue fled everywhere, separated all parts of Yue, and became kings and emperors one after another.

In addition to his branch of King Wuyou of Yue occupying the ancestral land of Kuaiji, there are two big countries in the south, Ouyue and Minyue, both of which were founded by the descendants of King Wuqiang of Yue.

Everyone dislikes each other, and there are often frictions and disputes, but the strength of the several Yue countries is similar, and no one can swallow the other.

Now, after Yue Wang Wuyou captured the two thousand Chu troops in a sneak attack, he has seen the excellent armor of the Chu people, which is much better than their Yueren's weapons.

And if the Qin people can defeat Chu, their armor and equipment will naturally be better.

Yuedi is poor in resources. Although they have inherited part of the ancient Yue Kingdom's sword-making technology, the output is too low and the quality is not good enough to arm a large-scale army.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of armored weapons of the Qin and Chu armies had a huge attraction to Yue Wang Wuyou.

"This king, I want to be like my ancestor Goujian and become the real king of Yue!"

Yue Wang Wuyou gave birth to ambition.

Gold and food are nothing, what he wants is to become the king of all Yue people.

Zou Wuyue said with a bitter face: "But according to the tone of the general of Qin, they will never exchange armor. Your Majesty, the general of Qin can say that if we don't hand over Xiong Bugu within three days , they will march towards the royal city!"

"Heh, you dare to threaten this king."

Yue Wang Wuyou sneered: "Since the people of Qin are unwilling to agree to this king's conditions, then this king can only do it."

"I will send the warriors of my country of Yue to defeat them, strip off the armor of the Qin people, use them to equip my warriors, and then make these Qin people all slaves. At that time, I will also arrest the Qin general Here, the king pulled out his tongue to see if he dares to threaten the king."

Zou Wuyue's expression changed: "Your Majesty, Qin is powerful, if we attack this Qin army, what if the King of Qin sends another army to come in the future?"

"Hahaha!"

Wuyou, the King of Yue, laughed. He took a sip from the big wine glass on the table, and then said: "You are afraid of a bird. It is not bad that Qin State is powerful, but didn't you listen to Xiong Bugu? Qin State is in the west Far away, it took a lot of effort to send a large army to the east to destroy Chu. Two years ago, they were defeated by the Chu people, and many people died. The Qin people simply did not have the strength to send a large army south. Attack the king's territory."

Yue Wang Wuyou remembered what Chu Wangqi said when he persuaded him to resist Qin, and couldn't help becoming more confident.

"Do you see that the Qin general this time only has more than 10,000 people?"

"If he Qin has the ability to attack this king, he can bring a hundred thousand people here. They can't do it at all. I'm afraid of him!"

"Furthermore, when I take down this Qin army, I can use their armor to equip our warriors, and then go to destroy Zou Yao and Zou Wuzhu. At that time, I will rule the Yuedi in the south. He is the real King of Yue. He is the king of Qin in the north, and this king is the king in the south. He is afraid of what he will do. Even if the Qin people really send troops to attack again, this king will let them come, and they will not go back. !"

Seeing that Yue Wang Wuyou had made up his mind, Zou Wuyue didn't persuade him anymore, but secretly figured out how he could benefit from it.

At this time, Wuyou, the king of Yue, had already figured out a plan to break Qin.

"Go and make an agreement with the Qin general, and say that the king has agreed to their conditions. But first, invite the Qin general to come to my king's city for a drink. I want to make friends with the Qin people."

...

"The king of Yue invited me to drink in the king's city?"

Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the envoy from Yueren who came for the third time.

Zou Wuyue smiled and said: "My king is willing to agree to the general's conditions, as long as two hundred gold and twenty carts of grain can be exchanged for Xiong Bugu. But my king also likes to make friends, and now he is willing to be friends with the general, so I invite the general to bring Take these things and go to the royal city to have a feast. At that time, everyone will have a good drink, and when the general leaves, you can take Xiong Bugu away."

"No, the general is the commander-in-chief of an army, so don't venture into the city of Yue people!"

Meng Tian immediately stood up and stopped him.

The other generals also immediately spoke out to dissuade them.

Heizhi stared and said: "My general is the son of a daughter, how could he go to such a dangerous place. If you have to ask someone to go, why don't you let me go."

Facing the generals' fierce discussion, Zhao Tuo smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to shut up.

"King Yue's kindness, I appreciate it. But the commander of the first army must not leave the soldiers without authorization, so there is no need to drink this wine. As for the matter of Xiong Qi, since the king of Yue agreed, it is very good. Please also send the envoy to send Xiong Qi as soon as possible. Let’s wait and give the gift to the King of Yue.”

Seeing Zhao Tuo's refusal, Zou Wuyue's face changed, it seems that King Yue's strategy will not work.

But fortunately, Yue Ren has a backup plan.

Zou Wuyue regained his composure and said: "Since the general is unwilling to become friends with my king, we will not force it. The replacement will be tomorrow. General, please prepare money and food, someone will come to guide you tomorrow." , and then go to the corresponding place to exchange."

"It's so good."

Zhao Tuo nodded in response, and the two parties formally made an agreement verbally.

At this moment, Na Zou Wuyue laughed again: "However, I would like to ask the general to pay fifty gold as a proof, so as to show the general's sincerity."

Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly.

These Yue people actually still have a deposit.

However, Zhao Tuo didn't think of denying the matter of exchanging money for people, so he nodded and asked someone to take fifty gold and give it to the Yueren envoy.

Although it is said that it is fifty gold, the weights and measures of various countries have not been unified these years, and there is room for manipulation.

One yijin in Qin State is twenty-four taels, but in some countries it is twenty-four taels.

Zhao Tuo naturally followed the minimum standard.

Fifty gold is calculated as one thousand taels, and the number of taels in this era is very low. Converted to the weights and measures of later generations, the total weight of fifty gold is about 16 kilograms.

When this amount of gold was packed in the box and carried up by the short soldiers, Zou Wuyou looked straight at it with bright eyes, swallowing his saliva uncontrollably.

"General atmosphere."

Zou Wuyue giggled, thinking that when he returned to Wangcheng later, he would be quietly transported to his house to eat this huge fortune.

Zhao Tuo smiled faintly, and immediately after, his expression became serious, and he looked coldly at the emissary of Yueren with a happy expression on his face.

"This fifty gold is enough to show the sincerity of my Qin army. Please don't cheat me in front of the envoy and the king of Yue. If there is deception in your heart, then it will not be about the fifty or two hundred gold. I'm afraid the King of Yue will lose even more."

"Don't call it unpredictable!"

Gudong.

Zou Wuyue swallowed his saliva, and being stared at by the Qin general, he couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, general, we will naturally not deceive you in this transaction. Hand over the grain to the general."

"So much the better."

Zhao Tuo nodded.

Zou had already got the money without a promise, so he naturally didn't want to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly handed over his hands and said goodbye.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, the voice of General Qin came from behind him.

"By the way, I still want to ask the envoy. How did King Yue capture Xiong Qi? And where are the three thousand Chu troops under Xiong Qi?"

...

After a while, Zou left the Qin army's camp without an appointment.

"The king of Yue didn't want to fight against Qin, so Xiong Qi turned against the Yue people and attacked each other. The three thousand Chu troops were wiped out, and Xiong Qi also fell into the hands of the Yue people."

Zhao Tuo chanted the words of the Yueren envoy in the tent, laughing while reading.

He turned to look at the generals and asked, "How much truth do you think the Yue people said?"

Meng Tian first responded: "General. Xiong Qi is such a treacherous man. When he was in Wu, those Jiangdong nobles wanted to join forces to kill him, but Xiong Qi saw through them in advance and countered and slaughtered him. How can such a smart person Will the three thousand Chu troops under him turn against the Yue people when the Yue people do not agree to fight against Qin? I think there must be fraud in this."

"What Lieutenant Meng said is that the Yue people must be lying."

The generals nodded in agreement.

Hei hip even laughed and said: "I'm afraid those Yue people saw that Xiong Qi was carrying too much property, so they thought of annexing it and took it down."

"Hey, Xiong Qi has so much money and treasure, not to mention these barbarians from Yuedi. If it were my black butt, I'm afraid I would want to take his things. In my opinion, the king of Yue probably ate the bear After Qi, he wants to sell him to us again, this is really a two-way game."

Zhao Tuo nodded, the black buttock's words were not harsh, judging from the envoys sent by the King of Yue to bargain with him, he was definitely a very greedy person.

Xiong Qi couldn't stay in Jiangdong any longer, so he looted his belongings and went south to join the Yue people.

"Yue people have no faith, since they can plot against Xiong Qi, how do they know that they will not break the agreement with us, this matter has to be guarded against."

Zhao Tuo looked solemn, and said to the generals: "Before our army leaves Yuedi, we must strengthen our guards. We must set up sentries during the day, and there must be more sentries at night. Soldiers must not disarm when they are sleeping, and their weapons must be placed on the ground. By your side, be ready to fight at any time. There is also the matter of tomorrow's exchange, and you must be prepared, and you must not take it lightly."

The generals solemnly agreed.

Zhao Tuo nodded, thought of something else, and asked, "Have you found out the location and road of Yueren's King City?"

...

In Yuedi Wangcheng.

"This Qin general has some skills, and he is much more difficult to deal with than Xiong Bugu."

After hearing Zou Wuyue's return, Yue Wang Wuyou's expression was a little unsightly.

Zou Wuyue nodded and said: "I think that General Qin is quite cunning, if your majesty wants to attack, I'm afraid you should be more careful."

Hearing this, Yue Wang Wuyou smiled confidently.

"careful?"

"Need not!"

"Those Qin people heard that the king agreed to their deal, and they will be able to exchange it with Xiongbugu tomorrow. They will definitely not be prepared tonight. I have already summoned 20,000 warriors to come to the king's city. By night, the king will Send them to attack those Qin people."

"The land here is the land of my people. The king's warriors will never be defeated in this land!"

"Tonight is the night of the full moon, and this king will defeat this Qin army under the light of the moon!"

"Just like when my ancestor Goujian defeated the mighty state of Wu!"

Yue Wang Wuyou held his head high, his voice full of confidence.

I can probably finish writing the Yuedi plot tomorrow.
