"It is said that King Lin Hu is a very shrewd man, how can we get him to accept our terms?" I have only been here for half a year, and I am really not familiar with the people here, so Zhao Xing asked his think tank Xu Jie with modesty.

This is not to say that Zhao Xing suddenly became unintelligent, but because these are details, and the details are not Zhao Xing's strengths that only roughly know the direction of the Warring States. If he knows everything very carefully and clearly, then Zhao Xing is not a traverser, I am a traversing computer.

Xu Jie is really a talent, and he works tirelessly to enter the ranks of the aristocracy and has a good grasp of the world. When Zhao Xing got such an inquiry, he talked eloquently at the time: "Lin Hu is actually not a complete nomadic people, but a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural composition. In the grasslands north of the Hetao, King Linhu vigorously developed herdsmen, while within the Hetao, grazing and farming were carried out simultaneously. ”

According to this reason, Lin Hu should be very powerful, because there are war horses and cavalry, and there are farming people, which can be described as the hero of the Warring States in the spring, because he has this unique capital.

But it's a pity, because his life is too bad - heaven is too far away, and evil neighbors are on the side.

In fact, the whole of China has been up and down for 5,000 years, and if you say that the era of real toughness is not the strong Tang Dynasty, let alone the Mengyuan Dynasty, but the Zhou Dynasty.

The strong man was in the Tang Dynasty, and he used the strength of the whole country to fight with the barbarians, and there were also times when the beaten head rat sent his daughter and his relatives. Meng Yuan, the whip of God, was bullying those uncivilized Europeans, and he was incapable, and he was not helpless in the face of the Southern Song Dynasty, which had won weakly in the Central Plains.

Only the Zhou Dynasty, without the strength of the whole country, is the Qin and Zhao countries in the north, from time to time to pull these Hu people, you pull over and beat, he pulls over and beats, and rubs them on the ground anytime and anywhere, so that they are willing to sing and conquer.

For example, this Lin Hu is really pitiful and sad, with this unique natural resource, placed in any vassal state in the Central Plains, it is a temporary overlord in a blink of an eye, and as a result, it was destroyed twice by the Qin State and once by the Zhao State.

If it weren't for King Zhao Wuling's original desire to use them to fight against Qiang Qin, the fight would have been wiped out long ago.

Later, when Zhou Xiao became king, Lin Hu came with the budding Xiongnu and wanted to restore the land of his homeland, but he did not want to be defeated by Li Mu of Zhao State, who had declined, with a "strange array", and since then Lin Hu's name has been lost in the annals of history. Do you say pitiful?

Xu Jie continued to introduce Lin Hu's situation: "Although the current King Lin Hu is shrewd and capable, he faces the invasion of the powerful Qin State at any time. And as long as we grasp this point at this time and throw at him the willingness to form an alliance against Qin, he will definitely be tempted to protect himself. ”

"It's not enough to be tempted, we have to be foolproof."

Xu Jie said: "As far as I know, Lin Hu's most trusted person is the farmer Mo of the field, Mo is a Qin person, because the King of Qin killed his whole family and defected to Lin Hu, he swore that he would avenge the King of Qin for the destruction of the clan in this life." Therefore, he has been working hard to help Lin Hu develop production and make Lin Hu rich, so he has won the trust of King Lin Hu. ”

Zhao Xing pinched his chin and nodded: "Then let's start from this point, bribe Qin Mo thickly, and use his eagerness for revenge to facilitate this matter." ”

Xu Jie clapped his hands: "Mr. is really a wise man, in a word." The disciple is not as good as it. ”

"There's no need to shoot sycophants, such a routine can be figured out by a three-year-old child, let's talk about what price he's worth."

Xu Jie was very embarrassed.

As a teacher, sometimes he is unfathomable and sanctimonious, and sometimes he is so vulgar and rude, and he doesn't know when to behave with him and when to mess with him? It's a headache to meet such a teacher.

"Five hundred grains, five hundred stone salted fish is enough. The one who moves his heart is not the money and grain, but the hatred in his heart. Xu Jie said confidently: "However, I also have to bribe King Lin Hu." ”

"What's he's worth?"

"Two thousand grains, one thousand stone salted fish is enough. The one who moved his heart was not the grain and salted fish, but the fact that he was afraid of Qiang Qinye. ”

"Big and small is a king, can't we take this little thing and touch his heart?" looked at the smiling Xu Jie: "The standard for gift-giving is like this. or don't send it, it's difficult to move small favors. Or shoot him to death, and let him completely prostrate under my wealth. ”

"The teacher's insight is really clever, but in these two people, these are enough. They are just Hu people in a remote and barbaric land, they are all soil buns, where have they seen the pomp and circumstance of the nobles of the Central Plains, and the magnanimity between the princes. In fact, we promised them that it would help them resist Qin, and it was enough to make them obey their orders. ”

Zhao Xing nodded with kindness: "Can we spend less or spend less, as long as we can achieve our goal, the rest will be Zhao Qiu." ”

Zhao Qiu is one of the three hundred scholars of Junqiu, this person has a flexible mind and does things quickly. Now Zhao Xing has no shortage of evil slaves who fight and kill, but what he lacks is those who can speak well and speak wisely. So, pulling camels from the flock, this Zhao Qiu was sent by Zhao Xing to Han Ce's men to study and be sent there, and this time he became a leader of the traders.

"Zhao Qiu, you take the remaining three thousand grains and do business with Lin Hu on the spot, remember, you can't be cheap Lin Hu people."

Zhao Qiu swore at that time that he would never do a loss-making business.

After arranging these things, Zhao Xing shouted an order to the three hundred monarchs behind him: "Let's raise the banner, beat the gongs and drums, and make a big noise, let's go to the Lin Hu Royal Court to form an alliance." ”
