The young man on the throne looked at him with a real look, and Aristotle IV immediately met it and said with a kind smile: "Your Majesty, I think this is something that neither side wants to happen. ”

"Bactria was reluctant to sell horses to our Chu State before, but now it is interfering arbitrarily and not allowing Chu to buy Seleucid horses. Xiong Jing's eyes were cold, and he was constantly thinking about what would happen if Bactria sold his horse to the Qin State.

The courtiers were already angry at Aristotle IV, and the Sogdians had promised not to sell sweat horses to Qin, and certainly not to Chu horses. Now because of Seleucus, he changed his preface to ask how the Chu State was, and suddenly felt that he was very rude.

"I just hope that Your Majesty will not intervene in the dispute between Seleucus and Bactria, and will not prevent Chuni from buying Seleucus' horses." Aristotle IV explained.

"However, Seleucus was only willing to exchange horses for armor, and the previous covenant between Chu and your country did not say that Chu could not sell armor and Seleucus. Previously, the covenant between Chu and your country had already been famous: the iron and armor of Chu were not allowed to be sold to Qin, and the horses of Bactria were not allowed to be sold to Qin. Xiong Jing recalled the original text of the covenant, and he deliberately added that he was not allowed to sell horses to Qin Guo, in order to prevent Qin Guoxi from begging for horses. Now regard the covenant as nothing, and he will be defeated one day. ”

So far, the bravery and decisiveness shown by Xiong Jing have been appreciated by Aristotle IV, but he has long thought of the covenant, and when Xiong Jing finished speaking, he immediately said: "Your Majesty should know that there are barbarian Saluo people in the north of Bactria, as well as several city-states, such as Shiguo and Dawan, and Bactria can only restrain its own merchants not to sell war horses to Spartaqin, but not to them. ”

"This is the so-called Alexander's strategy?" Xiong Jing sneered. There are always loopholes in the covenant, and the stone country and Dawan mentioned by Aristotle IV are loopholes. "The Sogdian merchants were unwilling to sell their horses, but now they have suddenly sold more than a thousand horses. The trade routes between China and Hezhong were all run by Sogdian merchants, and if it wasn't for the compulsion of your country, how could the Qin people get horses? Therefore, it is not presumptuously determined that the Qin army in his day has a group of sweat and blood war horses, all of which are caused by your country's betrayal of the alliance, and the four countries must have a retribution. ”

"Great king, the Chu army can go to Seleucus by sea boat, and if his country betrays the alliance, he should send troops to fight with Seleucus." Nao said slyly.

"King, 25 sea boats will be launched this year, 40 will be launched next year, and 40 more will be launched the year after next, and 115 sea boats can carry tens of thousands of people." Gong Yin Dao also said. If you really want to fight, the number of sea boats will increase.

"Great king, if you go to Seleucus to crusade against his country, the Yue people can stand in the way." Luo Kai also interjected.

There was a lot of controversy, and the suggestions of these people were told to Aristotle IV by the translation of Wuji, who only chuckled. He knew the distance between Bactria and Chu, and also knew the distance between Seleucus, India and Chu, and the transoceanic route was a very dangerous thing, and he did not believe that the army of Chu could be transported to Seleucus, and then attack Bactria with Seleucus.

"Why bother by sea," Xiang Yan said. "The minister thought that the cavalry of the four countries should be out of Yunzhong County, and they gave soldiers armor to the Di people, and led the Di people to fight. The Di people do not have such good horses, and when they hear that there are good horses in the river, they will rush to them. ”

The military generals standing in the court are also dressed in white clothes, and there has never been a military general in the Jiaban Dynasty. And out is the general, into the phase, whether it will or the phase is just a distinction between positions on different occasions, not a distinction of identity. Despite this, Xiang Yan's speech and demeanor still made Aristotle IV feel a strong murderous intent.

At this time, Wu Ji said beside him: "This is Xiang Yan, the best general of Chuni, who has defeated the Qinni army five times in a row and killed more than 200,000 Qinni soldiers. It is said that the Qinni people will run away when they hear his name. ”

Aristotle IV was watching the uproar in the courtroom, and he could feel the anger and agitation of these people, just as the often angry councillors of the Greek Council of Five Hundred.

"Their city-states all have their own armies?" Aristotle IV asked, and he heard more and more people saying, 'This county can send troops,' and 'Ben Yi can send troops.' It was as if it were not a nation, but a union of city-states

"Yes." Although the counties of Chu are different from the Greek city-states, they are generally similar. "Now the city has four divisions, plus the direct army of King Chuni, about 30,000 infantry, more than 6,000 cavalry. Last year, King Chuni led them to conquer Zini and occupied the capital of Zini, forcing King Zini to sever friendly relations with Qinni and conclude the Four-Power Alliance. ”

"How many troops does Chuni have?" Aristotle IV asked this question again.

"There are at least thirty regular divisions, each with about six thousand men, and many more reserve divisions." Needless to say. "For a Chuni nobleman to become one of the seven consuls, he needs the support of the nobles......"

"Vote for?" Aristotle IV was very natural to the way, which is the Greek tradition.

"Nope. With the support of the soldiers they have. "It is not afraid to elaborate on the difference between the political system of Chu and the political system of Greece." If a councillor or moderator wants to support someone to become an archon, he has to put his army under his command. Whoever commands the most soldiers becomes an archon.

To prevent cheating, Chuni's Council of Ten Generals established strict standards for soldiers, and each year reviewed each city-state's number of soldiers to match the declared number of the city-state. In the words of the Chuni people, this is called one jia, one vote (Jane). ”

"Gods." Aristotle IV never imagined that democratic elections could be associated with naked violence.

"What else does the envoy say?" Aristotle IV didn't answer immediately just now, but he was cunning and rushed to speak, and after a few courtiers spoke for a while, Xiong Jing flicked his sleeves and stopped them.

"Your Majesty, I only hope that Bactria and Chuni will enjoy eternal peace." Aristotle IV's tone had changed, but his intention to threaten Qin had not changed in the slightest.

"The envoys should remember that in the case of Chu, whether the Qin people had good horses or not was not fatal, but in Bactria, the Seleucid and steppe tribes were deadly. If your country betrays the alliance, there will be retribution! After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he immediately signaled to the guests and asked them to send them off.

Aristotle IV withdrew from the court under the angry gaze of the courtiers, and as soon as he left, the courtiers were in an uproar, and it was actually a matter of more than worth the loss to go to war against a country thousands of miles away. It's just that this country has a high-quality war horse that is not inferior to Nissama, so what can it do if it is not so threatening?

Xiong Jing gradually felt that he had suddenly entered the world chess game from the world chess game, and the countries thousands of miles away had also begun to influence and even influence the situation of the countries in the world. In the case of Bactria, it seems that some compromise should be made, but this compromise is not to not sell armor to Seleucus, but to increase the price of Bactria's horses.

"Don't think that you should buy all the horses of the Hu people, so as not to be obtained by the Qin people." In the eyes of the ministers, Xiong Jing said.

"King, the Hu people want to exchange one horse for thirty sets of armor, this is too much!" Zhao Huang said, he felt that Hu Ren was completely a lion's mouth.

"What about it?" Xiong Jing Road. "I can't get a horse, but the Qin people will get a horse."

"I think so." Nao Cunning, Xiang Yan and others all said. "If the Qin people win the horse, it will be very bad for me. Today, Ning has more than 30,000 sets of armor, and he should also prevent the Qin people from gaining horses. ”

"But is there any trust in his country?" Cheng Jie has been silent, he thinks about the same question as Xiong Jing, the Chu State is no longer the Chu State of the world, but the Chu State of the world. The state of Qin was to the west, and had a natural advantage on land. "If there is no faith in his country, it is useless to sell more armor."

"What can you do if it's useless?" Lu Yangjun said. "If you see that the Qin army has sweat and bloody horses, it is not too late to destroy its country, and you can only buy horses at the moment to stop Qin. And this matter should not be known to the Seleucid envoys, if they know, there will be twists and turns in the purchase of horses. ”

"My lord, the minister thinks that the Seleucid horse should be transported back as soon as possible." Gong Yin Daodao. "The sea boats launched this year are easy to transport horses, and the 25 new sea boats and last year's 10 sea boats are all going west, and they can transport 3,800 horses."

The boats launched last year were able to carry horses without removing the two wooden decks directly above the horses, but there were not many horses in this way, no more than eighty horses in one boat, and five hundred and thirty horses in seven sea boats were brought back to Nissa. This year, the deck of the boat was higher, and one could carry 120 horses. In order to prevent long nights and dreams, it is necessary to ship it back as soon as possible.

"No." Xiang Yan opposed Gong Yindao's proposal. "The sea boats are all going west, now the war between Zhao and Qin is not over, if the Qin State invades the Zhao State again next year, what if so?"

"If Qin attacks Zhao again next year, Zhao will have the disaster of losing the country, and I will send troops to save Zhao." Nao said loudly.

After he finished speaking, many people chimed in. "The State of Zhao must not die, if the State of Zhao dies, my State of Chu is in danger."

"If the Zhao State dies, the Qin State will get the land of the Zhao State, and the world will have three of them, and the world will also die."

"If Qin attacks Zhao again next year, the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei must save Zhao ......"

The importance of Zhao is undoubted, and saving Zhao is also a topic of debate from time to time in the Zheng Dynasty. It's just that some people are in favor of saving Zhao, and naturally some people don't approve, or at least don't approve of saving Zhao now.

"Zhao is a big country, how can he say that he will die." Someone shouted.

"The accumulation of corn is not over, how can you move lightly?" Higashino Guya Road. "If the Qin army turns to attack me, there will be no three years, what can I do?"

"If Zhao is saved, Qi will not send troops." Zhao Huang is also not optimistic about saving Zhao, and the four countries have not really united.

"Great King, whether the Qin people attack Zhao next year or not will be the victory or defeat of this month's war. If the Qin army wins, next year will be another attack on Zhao, if the Qin army is defeated, I will save Zhao again, and the Qin people should not dare to attack Zhao again. Lu Yangjun said: "The minister thinks that if the Zhao army wins, my Chu State should recruit soldiers to save Zhao and Qin in the next spring." ”

"Can Zhao Jun win this month?" Xiong Jing asked a question that no one could answer. This month, Li Mu has already gone out to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, but until today there has been no news related to the war.
