Dead.

King Zhao Wuling handed the two bamboo slips in his hand to Fu Ding at his side.

Fu Ding glanced at the bamboo slip, then his pupils shrank, and he handed the bamboo slip to Wang Ben at his side.

When Wang Ben saw it, he was shocked.

The content on the bamboo slip is the content of the transaction between Wei Han and Chu not long ago.

South Korea has never thought about keeping it a secret at all, and I can't wait for everyone in the world to know that South Korea is now a family with Chu, and wants other countries to look at Chu's face.

So this matter soon reached the ears of King Zhao and King Wei.

After Wang Ben finished reading it, King Zhao Wuling asked Fu Ding, "Has the news of Wei selling a million stone wheat rice been confirmed?" ”

Fu Ding nodded and replied: "King, Weichen has confirmed again and again, and the news is true. ”

"According to the news that Weichen got from the Wei State, the King of Wei learned that the wheat rice could be made of flour much earlier than our Zhao and Han countries, and the King of Wei originally planned to follow the example of the King of Chu to sell steamed buns to make money, so the King of Chu bought out the wheat of Daliang, just because the flour was difficult to make and required a lot of manpower, so the steamed buns had not yet been sold, and they were dissuaded by the ministers."

After that, the king of Wei ordered that flour was strictly forbidden in the country, and he set an example by prohibiting the consumption of flour in the Wei palace. In the end, the king of Wei had a large amount of wheat in his hands, but it kept rotting in the warehouse, which could only be used to feed cattle and horses. ”

"So it is understandable that King Wei sold rice, most of it is some old rice, rather than smashing it in his hands, it is better to take the opportunity to test and make friends with the Chu State, not to mention that the price of selling rice this time is slightly higher than the price of King Wei's purchase of wheat rice, King Wei made a lot of money this time, and he is not short of money in a short time."

King Zhao Wuling sighed, these neighbors of his own are not easy to mess with.

Qi and Qin don't talk about it, although King Yan is now picking up people's teeth and wisdom and directly copying the experience of other countries, but King Yan's determination has been shown, and now he just lacks the talent of a scholar and a merchant.

Now the King of Wei is also not worry-free, why is the King of Wei short of money, not for training, when he thinks of the Wei Wushu who once broke through Handan in the past, King Zhao Wuling has some scalp numbness.

"What does the King of Chu want to do, in order to buy Maimi, he doesn't even care about Wei Wushu, who is a scourge to the world."

Fu Ding shook his head and said: "King, I don't know what the King of Chu wants to do, but the million wheat rice of Wei and the 500,000 stone wheat of South Korea are enough for the army of the King of Chu to make flour for several years, but the purchase of wheat from South Korea by the State of Chu is not only this year, but also includes the next 500,000 stone wheat rice every year. ”

"Great King, King Wei's temptation is not meaningless, at least, it's time for our Zhao Kingdom to start hoarding wheat and rice."

Wang Ben shook his head and said, "King, our Zhao State should hoard a batch of wheat rice, but before that, we still need to give a batch of wheat to the King of Chu." ”

King Zhao Wuling's eyes first flashed with a trace of doubt, and then turned unwilling, and then his eyes returned to indifference.

He knew what Wang Ben meant, and sent Maimi to the Chu State, in addition to worrying that the Chu State would pull back behind the back of the Zhao State, he was more worried about the Wei State, after all, it was the Wei State that was connected to the Zhao State on a large scale.

Although the relationship between the three Jin Dynasty has always been very good, it has happened once or twice to fight to the death and break through the other party's capital. Not to mention pulling back in the back.

Now that Wei and Han are all moving closer to Chu, if Zhao is independent, the king of Chu will inevitably be unhappy, if Zhao attacks Zhongshan in the future, he will pull Zhao back, then Zhao will not think about other things, just to deal with Wei, then it will take all his strength.

As long as the state of Chu is stabilized and no longer supports the state of Wei on the surface, and befriends South Korea, then if the state of Wei wants to pull back, it has to weigh its own strength, and if it gives the state of Wei a little more benefit, the state of Wei will fall into a wait-and-see situation.

"Qing's words are reasonable, then Lao Xianqing will go to see the King of Chu tomorrow."

"Wechen takes orders."

The next day, Xiong Huai got up early in the morning and learned that Wang Ben, the envoy of King Zhao, had asked to see him.

He hadn't sent anyone to find King Zhao yet, but King Zhao took the initiative to come to the door.

The two countries of Chu and Zhao are a little far apart, and the possibility of direct war is very small, what is the matter with King Zhao!

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai looked at Wang Ben and asked, "I don't know what is the important matter for your envoy to ask to see the widow?" ”

Wang Ben replied: "The widow has heard that your country is short of grain and is buying grain from other countries, so he specially transferred 300,000 stone wheat and rice from the treasury to benefit the two countries of Chu and Zhao. ”

300,000 stone wheat rice!

This may not be all the wheat in Zhao's treasury, but it is definitely more than half of it.

Before he could say it, King Zhao took the initiative to suggest that he was currying favor with the widow!

Add in the friendship between Zhao and Qin Qi before.

Maybe Zhao Guo is ready.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai smiled slightly, and sighed with emotion: "King Zhao is really benevolent and righteous, he used to run for the affairs of Yan Kingdom, and now he learned that the widow was short of food, and he took the initiative to lend a hand, and the widow was grateful." ”

The third day, the day of the oath of the four nations.

In the case that the Three Jin Dynasty recognized the position of the eldest brother of Chu at the same time, Xiong Huai took on the responsibility of the bearer, and the next step was a complete set of oath procedures.

After Xiong Huai cut off the left ear of the ox, he filled a bowl of ox blood with a jade bowl, and then used the ox blood to write the covenant that had been drawn up on the jade tablet, and then read the oath to the sky, and made an alliance with the blood of the three Jin Dynasty.

After a set of processes were completed, it was already mid-day.

Just when Xiong Huai and Sanjin were greeting, Gongsun Yan came over and said: "King, now that the oath has been fulfilled, if our four countries leave here, it will inevitably make the world think that our four countries are timid." ”

"According to Weichen's opinion, why not display the soldiers of the four countries outside the Hangu Pass, one is to show the world that the four countries are united, and the other is to deter the Qin State, so that the Qin State will not dare to send troops to the east from now on, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight."

Xiong Huai nodded, this is the emotion he sent out when he got the oath.

King Han Xiang agreed: "What the rhino head said is extremely true, if our four countries meet outside the Hangu Pass, but do not confront the Qin State, it will not only make the Qin State despise, but will also be ridiculed by other countries. ”

If South Korea proposed that various countries go to show off their military might to Qin, South Korea would not dare to do so, mainly because it was afraid of further angering Qin and retaliation from Qin, and reinforcements from the other three countries would not come.

Although it has been made into a bloody alliance, South Korea does not dare to guarantee that the other three countries will not come.

Now that the rhino head made this suggestion, King Han immediately agreed.

King Wei Xiang hesitated: "Now there are still 100,000 elite soldiers of the Qin State in Hangu Pass, I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer Hangu Pass." ”

The king of Wei was worried that the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Qin State would attack the pass.

King Wuling of Zhao was unimpressed by King Wei's fear.

"It's okay to do this, now the 200,000 elite soldiers of our four countries are the elite of the country, even if they face the 200,000 troops of the Qin State, they can fight a battle, let alone move a mere 100,000 Qin soldiers."
