Chapter 055: A Discovery, An Ambition
Qin Mo used to be a minor nobleman of the Qin State, so he entertained Zhao Xing and Xu Jie according to the etiquette of the nobles of the Central Plains. This made Zhao Xing feel very uncomfortable, and Xu Jie felt very excited, because he borrowed light to enjoy the treatment of a nobleman.
The gift is offered, this is a bribe, and it does not need to be returned, but it needs to be reciprocated. Qin Mo asked straight to the point: "Your envoy must have a plan for giving me such a generous gift, if there is anything that harms the interests of my Lin Hu Royal Court that needs to be done, just don't open your mouth." ”
Zhao Xing smiled and said straight to the point: "It is said that the doctor ran to Lin Hu to avenge his mother, wife and children who were killed by Tyranny Qin, but it took ten years to be empty, but the hope of revenge is getting farther and farther away, but is there such a thing?" ”
At the mention of this, a trace of unforgettable pain flashed in Qin Mo's eyes, but he turned back to normal: "But there is this matter, the enmity of the wife and children is still secondary, but the great enmity of the mother cannot be avenged." ”
Xu Jie praised: "True filial son." Then the conversation changed: "It's just that Qin is as strong as a tiger and wolf, and the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, constantly encroaching on the land of attacking the Linhu Hetao." Now it has occupied the Trinity land in the land of the Hetao, and built the city of fifteen. The doctor's hope of revenge is getting slimmer. ”
Qin Mo nodded without hesitation and admitted: "This is also where I am restless day and night." However, after the Shang Dynasty reform, the strong Qin did not have the people I imagined, but the national strength became stronger and stronger. And because of the character of the two nations, although I have been rectified for ten years, I still can't fully form a joint force, so the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, but what? ”
Zhao Xing said casually: "Barbarians are barbarians, no matter how hard you try, you still can't achieve your goals, just the so-called non-our race will have different hearts." You've wasted all your time. ”
This sentence is his heart.
Qin Mo didn't seem to want to talk more about this topic, so he changed his words and said, "Your envoy, let's talk about the purpose of your visit." ”
Zhao Xing also said calmly: "My country's ancestors have just begun, and the new monarch has just been established. However, the five countries did not pay attention to Zhou etiquette, bullied my new monarch when he was young, and led the troops to the funeral, which was called the funeral, which was actually bullying, and he had the ambition to carve up my Zhao country by chance. Although our monarch is young and can be bullied, I Zhao people cannot be bullied, so we courtiers run to other princes with a sense of justice, seeking an alliance to resist the five countries of the arrogant and impolite (Zhou Li), including Qiang Qin, I heard that the doctor was relied on by King Lin Hu, and I came to ask the doctor to help my Zhao State, promote an alliance, and resist Qiang Qin together. ”
When Qin Mo heard this, he couldn't help but smile helplessly: "I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
Zhao Xing asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Qin Mo didn't hide it: "Your envoy also knows that I came with a deep hatred, so I worked hard to plan for Lin Hu's development, but the inherent internal cause, just as the noble envoy just said, is not my race, and its heart will be different." In addition, Tyranny Qin continued to grow stronger, and Lin Hu could only retreat step by step. Although the current King Lin Hu has the heart to dominate, he is powerless. I seized the opportunity of the civil strife in the violent Qin several times to send troops to attack Qin, but I was vetoed by King Lin Hu. The reason is that he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Qiang Qin in the first war, but instead provoked Tyranny Qin to retaliate and provoke himself to burn himself. Therefore, even if you have the idea of alliing with me to fight against Qiang Qin, it is estimated that King Lin Hu will still have a lot of scruples and will not comply. ”
Xu Jie said: "If the doctor wants to take revenge, he needs King Lin Hu to send troops to help you, as long as you can introduce us to King Lin Hu, let me talk to him about the pros and cons of forming an alliance, and you can also listen to if I can give you a chance to take revenge." If you think what I said makes sense, then ask the doctor not to object. ”
Qin Mo was bitten by hatred every day, and he had almost collapsed a long time ago, and he heard that if he had a chance for revenge, even if it was a little hope, he had to seize it. After thinking about it, he decisively decided: "Okay, I will take your envoy to see the king, and whether the matter is successful or not depends on the ability of this gentleman." ”
It was not difficult to see King Lin Hu, because now he was not far away.
King Linhu took the real Linhu people with him, and in order to facilitate management, in the summer, he crossed the Yellow River into the depths of the northern grasslands to govern and take care of the vast grasslands. Once the winter comes, he will cross the Yellow River to the south and go south to the Hetao, inspect the Hetao, and accept Qin Mo's achievements for a year.
But he was accustomed to life in the grassland, so even when he arrived in the Hetao, he did not live in Yuecheng and lived in warm houses. Not only did he do this, but he was afraid that the warm houses and luxurious and comfortable life of the Zhou people would consume the nature of the Linhu nobles, and he did not allow the Linhu nobles to enter the city, but lived with him in the tent barracks in the wilderness to eat and drink.
From this point of view, he is still a person with big ambitions in his heart. That is, an ambitious person. As long as people are ambitious, they can seize and use it, and for this reason, Zhao Xing and Xu Jie are full of confidence in this trip.
Under Qin Mo's guidance, Zhao Xing and Xu Jie walked to King Linhu with a generous gift to King Linhu.
Linhu's royal court is a huge tent camp, on a vast open plain, this area of rivers and lakes dotted with lakes, just a good wintering place for the army to raise war horses and cattle and sheep that come with the army.
And the temporary royal court of King Lin Hu, the white yurt house, followed the lake and shallow pond river, and a team of knights came and went, looking chaotic, but in fact, the inside was in order. Look at this area, it is enough to have the size of an army of 100,000. This is also the habit of the Hu people, the king's escort army is to follow the king around the hunt and fight all the year round, one to protect, the other to train.
But it was unfortunate that King Lin Hu went hunting with his own soldiers, and everyone had to wait if they wanted to see him.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Xing and Xu Jie carefully looked at the scale of the Lin Hu Palace, observed the combat effectiveness of the Lin Hu Wang's army, and knew each other when dealing with the two sides in the future.
Now I am not an idler, I am a political figure, and I have to do everything with a political purpose, which is the so-called ass deciding the head.
After observing for a while, the two people already knew each other's strength, so they naturally talked about the weather and terrain.
Xu Jie's scribe Yaxing offended and sang a few songs from the Book of Songs. At that time, there were only a few songs, and there was no innovation, which was also Zhao Xingneng's plagiarism of a few good poems in later generations, and he could do the truth that the mountains looked up to the world. Everyone's vocabulary is lacking, and Zhao Xing is an absolute outlier. Alien, one ending is to be worshiped and respected as a saint by countless people, or one ending is to be feared and burned directly.
Fortunately, Zhao Xing is very good, and he is being worshiped and developing in the direction of a saint.
There were so many songs, and when they were finished, they were gone, so they squatted on the edge of a pond and picked up the clear water to moisten their throats.
As a result, I just took a sip, and I jumped to my feet at that time: "Bah, baba, bitter." ”
Zhao Xing pointed at him and laughed: "There are cavalry cattle and sheep all around here, and pee in it, it's not bad to be bitter, if you really drink it, you can have diarrhea and kill you." Then in front of Xu Jie again, he showed him his erudition: "The reason for this shallow water surface is that there is little water, but it evaporates quickly, and as a result, the concentration of salt will become higher and higher. It's okay now, the climate is warm, and in a few hundred years, this large pool of water will become more and more arid, and eventually evaporate into a salt pond with no end in sight - hmmmm. Zhao Xing broke Xu Jie's hand covering his mouth in horror: "What are you doing, are you going to murder your master?" ”
Xu Jie looked around like a thief, and then gave him a silent move: "Just now, Mr. just said that there is salt here, and it will become a huge salt pond in the near future?" ”
Zhao Xing nodded with a blanket face: "Yes, this will be Yinchuan in the future, and this will be the largest salt production base in Yinchuan, salt?" What did I just say—"
Then the two of them immediately hid in the reeds, squatted in it and gritted their teeth: "Lin Hu, it must be destroyed, here, it must be ours, the sooner the better." ”
At this moment, a voice sounded behind him: "Your honor, where are you, our king has come back from hunting, let's go and see you." ”
Qin Mo was looking around the pool, looking for and shouting.
As a result, I didn't see it for a while, but it was an urgency to urinate, and at that time, I untied my clothes and released water into the pool. At that time, Zhao Xing and Xu Jie jumped up: "Good boy, you dare to pee on my salt pile, look for a beating." ”
