Li Qin wanted to go back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But he can't go back yet. Because, he and Wang Shichong have not met yet.

They all came to Luoyang, but they didn't meet the actual owner of Luoyang, so how could they do it. What's more, Li Qin also thought about appropriately enhancing Wang Shichong's strength, so that he could hold on to Luoyang for a few more years, stop the ambitions of Li Tang and the Wagang army, and make himself a good layout in the south.

Therefore, four days after Li Qin left the group of bald donkeys in the Jingnian Monastery, he finally agreed to Wang Shichong's kind invitation and went to the Zhengguo Mansion in the north of Luoyang City.

Wang Shichong's Zheng Guogong Mansion was the Qin Palace, which originally belonged to Yang Hao.

Yang Guangying built the eastern capital and intended to move the capital here, so the eastern capital was equipped with all the royal government offices. Now that Yang Guang is dead, and Yang Hao has also been taken down by Li Qin and demoted to a commoner and given freedom, of course he cannot come to Luoyang, so the Qin Wangfu in the eastern capital is vacant.

Wang Shichong transformed it, did not reduce its scale and structure, and lived in it in such a grand manner, and his practice of treating Yang Tong as a puppet, no matter how much he covered it up, it was also obvious.

Because Li Qin rescued You Chuhong, Dugu's strength increased greatly, and they also had more choices, so they did not fight Wang Shichong in Luoyang City. And Wang Shichong also slowed down his pressure on Dugu Valve because of You Chuhong's prestige.

After some tentative exploration, the two sides generally achieved a balance.

Like Wang Shichong, Dugu Valve did not want Li Mixi to enter Luoyang and become a person who unified the world. After all, they have nothing to do with Li Mi.

In the case of a common enemy, under the thread of Li Qin and Kou Zhong, Dugu Valve and Wang Shichong have formed an alliance to some extent.

Wang Shichong received more troops and support as a result, which made him involuntarily relieved under the heavy pressure of Li Mi.

Wang Shichong was also a little grateful to Li Qincun because of this.

When Li Qin arrived, he ordered the middle door to be opened to greet him, and at the banquet for Li Qin, he let his niece Dong Shuni, who is also one of the famous Luoyang Shuangjiao, dance in person, and hung it on Li Qin's body as a companion.

This is the highest treatment that Wang Shichong has given to Li Qin.

After a song and dance, full of wine and food, Wang Shichong asked Dong Shuni to take Li Qin to the secret room in the backyard to see him.

Similar to the secret room of any force, the secret room on the Zheng Guogong Mansion is also a secret room with quite complete confidential information. After expelling the surrounding crowd, Wang Shichong repeatedly said that Li Qin's conversation with him here today would not be known to others, and asked Li Qin to speak freely.

"The survival of Gong Zheng can be fought here. If Zheng Gong can break Li Mi's undefeated golden body, there will be something to do in the south and north that day, but if it doesn't work, then Zheng Gong will have to quickly think about the way back. Li Qin said unceremoniously.

After all, everyone lets you talk freely, and you still hide it, which is too much.

How important this battle is to the Eastern Capital, to Wang Shichong, and to Dugu Valve is something that anyone can see.

Therefore, Wang Shichong did not have any dissatisfaction with Li Qin's outspokenness, but clapped his hands happily: "That's why I want to get your help." Relying on my strength alone, it is not enough to defeat Li Mi. I don't think you want to let Luoyang fall into the hands of Li Mi. ”

The words were all spoken, and Wang Shichong also understood why Li Qin and Li Tang wanted to support him.

"So what do you want? Grain and grass? Weapons? Horses ......" Li Qin counted the supplies he could provide.

"Can't you just send troops to help me defeat Li Mi?" Wang Shichong asked tentatively.

"How to send troops? Our two territories are not contiguous. I just won the south, and there is no sign of going north in the short term. Li Qin shook his head decisively: "If I want to go north, I have to defeat Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Zhu Ji and others first, this is not easy." ”

"Really? This is really disappointing! Wang Shichong sighed.

But Li Qin clearly heard a little relief from his sigh.

"Well, it's my record that scares them, are they worried about me going north?" Li Qin smiled, and he was a little complacent in his heart.

"So...... Can Wu Gong provide us with firearms? Wang Shichong asked again.

"That's fine. But I don't have enough firearms or anything! Li Qin looked slightly embarrassed.

"I wonder what I have to pay?" Wang Shichong asked bluntly. He knew that Li Qinna was asking for a price.

"Can you give me some craftsmen? Luoyang, as the eastern capital of Yang Guang, also enriched a lot of people when it was first built, and many of them belonged to the first-class craftsmen. I need some ......

You know, it takes a lot of craftsmen to produce gunpowder and everything. Li Qin made his request: "If you can provide me with some craftsmen, then I will be able to produce gunpowder and guns much faster, and I will be able to provide you with more firearms." ”

Li Qin said very eagerly, and he looked like I was also good for you.

"What a little fox!" Wang Shichong looked at Li Qin's enthusiastic appearance and scolded in his heart.

What is the most important thing in the fight for world domination?

Nature is population and resources.

Although trapped in a corner, Wang Shichong may not have the idea of owning the world according to Luoyang, because he still attaches great importance to the population.

He thought that Li Qin would propose to buy it with money, but he didn't want Li Qin to ask him directly for the population, and it was quite an elite population.

How can this be?

Wang Shichong was reluctant, but he had no other way, and the most suitable people to support him at the moment were Li Qin and Li Tang - and Wang Shichong was more inclined to unite with Li Qin than Li Tang, who was directly connected to him. Because the two are not on the same turf, although the support is a little troublesome, there is no possibility of turning the other cheek in the short term.

Outbred and close attack!

After the Warring States was proposed, this point has always been the only way for all heroes who are interested in the unification of the world.

"How about a hundred craftsmen for a thousand muskets, ten thousand medicines?" Wang Shichong put forward his own price code.

"A hundred is not enough, at least five hundred!" Li Qin spoke.

"Five hundred is too much, only one hundred and fifteen." Wang Shichong hurriedly refused.

"One hundred and fifteen? What can be done? How about three hundred and five? Li Qin bid again.

"No......"

"So ......"

After some bargaining, Wang Shichong finally reached an agreement with Li Qin to exchange 300 craftsmen for 1,500 muskets and 30,000 medicines.

"Artisans have to move as a family...... I don't want them to have any worries. Li Qin was still a little dissatisfied with the price that was finally set, so he put forward the main points of this supplement.

"Good!" Wang Shichong didn't care about this.

In his opinion, three hundred craftsmen, that is, three hundred households. They are all small families, even if they are calculated as a family of five, 300 craftsmen are equivalent to 1,500 people.

Exchanging 1,500 men for 1,500 muskets was quite a bargain in Wang Shichong's opinion.

After reading through Li Qin's battles in the south, Wang Shichong truly believed that Li Qin's musket was more powerful than the bow and crossbow in defense and array combat.

"In order to defeat Li Mi, I may have to equip five thousand muskets. Five thousand muskets were equal to one thousand two hundred craftsmen. Well, I can still afford that price. Wang Shichong thought about it, and his face showed a hint of self-satisfaction.

In addition to being complacent, he also looked down on Li Qin a little: "He actually sold such sharp weapons to his competitors at will? What an unsuccessful brat. ”

But then he rejoiced again: "It is precisely because he is so unsuccessful that I can buy such a good weapon." Firearms, used for defense, couldn't be better.

Well, firearms are extremely powerful, so I have to control the materials related to the production of gunpowder. One nitrate, two carbons, three sulfur, who knew that such an ordinary material that could only be used for alchemy, since it could play such a powerful role in war. Thanks to him, too! ”

Wang Shichong looked at Li Qin's ordinary face, and felt that he was quite pleasing to the eye.

Wang Shichong remembered all kinds of rumors about Li Qin on the rivers and lakes, as well as the fact that he directly told the formula of gunpowder a few days ago when he was asked by his concubine, and his heart suddenly moved: "The rivers and lakes all say that this Li Qin is a womanizer, maybe it is not groundless. In that case, then why don't I ......"

Wang Shichong looked at Li Qin, and then at his beautiful niece Dong Shuni, and suddenly had some ideas in his heart.

However, he was still silent at this moment, because he knew that Li Qin was also quite capable of being a person, maybe he was really lustful, but his lust was definitely selective. As a king, he would never like the women around him to be arranged by others.

"Hmm...... Looks like we'll have to arrange some chance encounters for him. Wang Shichong thought.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with that. After all, now is still the time for him to ask Li Qin.

"That's right!" After talking about the matter, Wang Shichong suddenly told Li Qin a piece of news that was not very good for him: "Qu Ao has come to Luoyang, and he is bent on settling accounts with you." ”

"Qu Ao? That Tiele barbarian? Li Qin didn't care about this, "If he wants to come to me, then let him come." It's just that after he comes, he may not be able to go back. ”

Li Qin said with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth: "Gong Zheng, it shouldn't cause you any trouble if I kill him in Luoyang." ”

"Trouble? Do you think I'm afraid? As long as I can defeat Li Mi, I won't be afraid of any trouble. But if I defeat Li Mi, then no matter how much trouble it is, it will be the same. Wang Shichong said very singlely.

"In that case...... Then let's just make an appointment with him to kill him directly. Li Qin said, laughing faintly.

"Make an appointment? Are you going to duel him? Wang Shichong froze slightly when he heard this, and he was puzzled: "Why did you make such a decision?" ”

"After the incident at the Pure Nian Monastery, some people were resentful of me. They may not be able to kill me, but they can make me sick. So, I need to take people to stand up...... Qu Ao, this old man, has a great reputation, and he is a foreigner, isn't it just right to kill him directly? Li Qin said faintly.

"Alright! I'll arrange this for you. Wang Shichong assured Li Qin.

"That's great!" Li Qin nodded with satisfaction.
