Chapter 213: The Rebel Army and Qin's Deal
The successive victories of the rebel forces in Pontus made 200,000 soldiers imposing. Seeing Da Shan Yu, who led them from victory to greater victory, the hero in their hearts, all the soldiers raised their bronze swords high and cheered selflessly.
That's the power of example, that's the power of heroes.
Pontus rode in front of the soldiers like a sea, he raised his arms in return, from one end of the soldiers' array, galloped to that end, even the most divine horse under the crotch also galloped out of the sweat, making Bendu excited and enthusiastic.
Galloping in front of his huge royal tent, without waiting for the war horse to stand firm, Bendu flew off his horse and dismounted, and rushed to the envoy of the Qin State who was outside the tent, observing himself like a sea soldier, laughed and saluted: "Distinguished guest, how about it, such a male soldier, this time it is enough to annihilate the puppet king, when the time comes, you and I will live in harmony, and the world will be peaceful." ”
The envoy of the Qin State should be asked to praise Qin Liang in return: "Da Dan Yu really has strong troops, and he will definitely be the lord of the grassland in the future." can form an alliance with Da Danyu, and in the future, you and I will sweep the world and will be devastated. ”
Bendu said proudly: "This is the result of my summer of recuperation and recuperation. The boys couldn't contain their enthusiasm for fighting for a long time. Now is the autumn is crisp, a good time to graze Henan, this battle, I must annihilate the puppet king, let our Linhu people be strong again. Then you and I formed an alliance and swept the world. ”
Qin Liang clapped his hands and applauded: "At that time, Da Dan is north of the Muma River, and the king of my family is called Emperor Henan, and the two families have been friendly for generations, so that the world will be peaceful forever." ”
This was the condition for the two families to meet and meet at the beginning, and now the Qin State is helping to unify the capital internally; Then, Pontus led 200,000 steppe cavalry to the Central Plains in the south, joined the Qin army, swept through the six countries of Shandong, and unified the world.
After the unification of the world, the two sides took the Yellow River as the boundary, the north was herded by the capital, and the south was ruled by the king of Qin.
In fact, to achieve this goal, Bendu is already satisfied, because north of the Yellow River, there is not only a vast grassland, but also the agriculture of Yanzhao, Zhongshan and the Three Kingdoms as the foundation.
In this battle with his brother, Honto also saw the key to farming. It is precisely because his elder brother controls the farming land of Hetao and has sufficient grain and grass materials that he can be defeated again and again and become an unbeatable Xiaoqiang.
He mastered the huge farming area north of the Yellow River, and was no longer coerced by the Central Plains people in terms of materials, and the spring of the grassland really came.
And the current king of Qin, of course, does not have the kind of eloquence and ambition of the future Qin Shi Huang. As long as the Central Plains south of the Yellow River can be unified, they will also be satisfied.
At least in this generation, both sides are satisfied, and as for the next generation or generations later, who can care? Although all people firmly believe that the soul does not die when a person dies, the soul cannot control people in reality at all. It is not seen that the descendants of a loser are slapped by the souls of their ancestors to correct his mistakes. can only stare dryly in the void, looking at the children and grandchildren of the loser helplessly.
We discussed cooperation and looked forward to the future, but it was all virtual, and it was still necessary to do the work in front of us, which was practical.
"This time I sent 200,000 troops, and that puppet king must not be captured, and a brutal battle is bound to break out. During this period, I don't know if the distinguished guests have sent me the supplies I need? ”
Hearing this, Qin Liang replied with a smile: "Since the king of my family promised to fund Da Danyu, he will definitely not break his word, and the people of the Central Plains pay attention to what they say." This time I have brought all the materials you need, this is the account book, please see the big order. ”
Bendu took the account book, but he couldn't understand the text of the Central Plains at all, so he handed it to the interpreter next to him and asked him to read it to himself.
The interpreter looked at the text of the Qin Dynasty, spoke the language of the Linhu people, and reported the contents one by one: "How many swords, a few bows and arrows, a lot of salt and herbs." "It's so varied, it's so varied. But there is no food here, because the grasslands don't need much food. And in the transportation of that thing, it is too much consumption, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Knowing the subsidized materials, Bendu frowned: "Why is the amount of tea I need only half?" This will not work, we will not have enough tea, my soldiers will suffer from night blindness, as long as it is dark, they will not be able to fight anymore, and it will be difficult to march with their faces. I can't guarantee that the fighting will always end before dusk, which is very important. ”
Now tea is not only a treasure for the nobles and nobles to eat after meals, but also a strategic material.
But the only thing in the world that can produce tea is the Daijun of Zhao State, although Daijun sells these wronged heads to the grassland people, it is a pound of gold and a pound of tea. The price in the Central Plains is much cheaper than this, but it is also a pound of gold, but only 5 pounds of tea, this price is really expensive for people's lives, and it is a luxury among luxury goods.
But this thing not only has a variety of longevity benefits, but the main thing is that you are addicted after drinking this thing. If you are used to drinking it, once you don't have that tea to drink, you will feel uncomfortable all over your body. So even with such an expensive price, everyone is still flocking to it. Therefore, in Sitong, Zhao Xing's tea has been in short supply.
And this time Pontus will cost 50,000 catties at a time, oh my God, what kind of amount is that, that's 10,000 catties of gold. Of course, Zhao Xing does not collect all gold, since not long ago, they are collecting gold, copper (that is, not collecting money) can also be exchanged for grain. But even so, Qin Guo also felt a pain in his flesh, because Qin Guo did not have much surplus food.
And the most important thing is that the so-called funding in this era is really free of charge, and it is really given in vain. Unlike Zhao Xing, who talks about funding, in fact, there are still conditions, at least he will not suffer.
But the other princes are not as thick-skinned as Zhao Xing and his shamelessness, and everyone pays attention to what they would rather suffer themselves, but also do what they say and show their magnanimity. In the end, this fine tradition of harming people has been passed down to later generations, raising a large number of white-eyed wolves.
Qin Liang explained very ashamedly: "The amount of tea required is too large, even if Daijun sells all the tea to us, they can't make up such a amount, this matter can only be done slowly." However, we will continue to purchase and ship it in a steady stream. ”
When Bendu heard this explanation, he agreed with understanding.
Although Zhao Xing was the help of his enemies, he kept this rule like other princes, that is, business belongs to business, and mortal enemies belong to mortal enemies. That's really money to earn, life to fight, and no delay.
In particular, Zhao Xing's four customs clearances are more resolute in implementing the complete separation of business and politics. As long as you give enough money, you can buy the steel knife produced by Zhao Xingdai County in the four clearances, and then you take his steel knife and cut off his head, he will definitely not regret it.
This is also the only way for the forces of the Central Plains grassland countries to peacefully obtain the treasure land they need, and it is also the reason why everyone resolutely protects it from being invaded and occupied by other countries.
As long as one prince wants to occupy the four clearances and monopolize this place, he will immediately attract a resolute attack from other princes in the world. This is the current four-pass level, and there is almost no need to raise troops to defend. Because the princes of the world helped watch the field, Zhao Xing sent a group of officials to manage it, and then sat on the ground to collect taxes.
When the two sides were discussing, everyone felt that the ground trembled a little, and they all pulled Qin Liang up excitedly: "Let's go, our herdsmen are here with livestock." ”
The two of them walked out of the big tent and looked at the north, on the horizon, at a glance, the cattle and sheep that could not be seen heading south to spend the winter, covering the sky and the earth, that kind of scene, it was really magnificent.
When everything was ready, Bendu stepped on his horse and yelled at his subordinates who were ready to go: "Go, let's go south, destroy the rebel army, and enjoy eternal peace." ”
The 200,000 army, with nearly 10 million cattle and sheep behind them, moved south like a dark cloud, pressing towards King Lin Hu and Zhao Xing.
