After listening to Ren Ji's words, Liu Tongdao: "So you have already figured out a way?" Speak up and listen. ”

"Master, I know the strength of our scattered country, don't say that I sent troops to help the Qin people, but it is difficult to guarantee even myself. But at present, the Qin people are our northern barrier, if this barrier is there, the scattered country can be safe; If this barrier is not there, the scattered countries will have to directly face Rong Di's attack, so at least we need the Qin people to stay in Qianyi at the moment. Am I right, sir? ”

Liu Tong nodded, "You are right, the Qin people do play the role of a barrier for the scattered country, and we can't give up." ”

"Since we can't give up the Qin people in the north, why don't we let the Qin people marry and arm themselves?"

The Qin people armed themselves with themselves?

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Tong asked.

"Master, aren't there many people in Qianyi at the moment? Why don't we let the Qin people themselves select soldiers from these people to enrich the army? If the Qin people enrich their own army, they will become strong on their own, and they will have the ability to deal with Rong Di with their own strength. At that time, the Qin people will no longer ask for assistance from the king. In this way, it not only solves the worries of the king, but also solves the problem of the soldiers of the Qin people, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone? ”

Liu Tong looked at Ren Ji with an excited face, and asked coldly, "Is this your idea, or Yingkang's idea?" ”

"Why is this asked?" Ren was overwhelmed by the question.

"This is very important, do you say this is your idea, or is it the idea of the Qin people?"

Seeing Liu Tong's serious face, Ren Ji trembled and said, "Of course this is my idea." Sir, there's no way around it! I can't come up with such an idea, the Qin people will borrow troops from the scattered country, if the scattered country can't borrow soldiers and horses? The Qin people will not be able to keep Qianyi, and it will be you, the master, who will suffer at that time. So I came up with this idea. Sir, am I wrong? ”

Seeing Ren Ji's nervous appearance, Liu Tong softened his tone and said, "Since it's your idea, that's it." However, I still have to warn you that once the strength of the Qin people is strong enough to ignore the scattered countries, we will also be very dangerous. ”

"What do you say, sir?" Ren asked hurriedly.

"Although Prince Zhao has repeatedly opposed our alliance with the Qin people, what he said is not wrong. That is, once the Qin people become bigger, it will be dangerous to disperse the country. Liu Tong turned to Ren, "You must remember one thing, the Qin people are always only the ones we invited to help us guard the border, and we must not let them grow to the extent that we can't control them." ”

After listening to Liu Tong's words, Ren Ji seemed to understand a little, "What does the master mean is that we can't sit back and watch the Qin people grow stronger, and always let the Qin people ask for us?" ”

Liu Tong nodded, "Yes, that's the reason, if the Qin people are too strong to be controlled, the first one to be threatened will definitely be the scattered country." ”

Ren Ji nodded, "What the master said is good, but what about the request of the Qianyi Qin people at the moment?" Do we ignore it, or do we let it go? ”

Although Liu Tong's psychology is also guarded against the Qin people, he is also very aware of the problems faced by the Qin people at present, and it is also the problem that the scattered country will face in the next step.

"Okay, I know, I'll go to the king and ask him for an idea." With that, Liu Tong got up and walked towards the palace.

Scattered King's Palace.

"Minister Liu Tong pays a visit to the king." Seeing the monarch Liu Tong bowed.

"Get up, is there anything going on in the palace today?" After Liu Tong got up, he asked.

To be honest, before he became Xiangguo, Liu Tong often accompanied the loose plates to sing and dance, drink and have fun, but since Liu Tong became Xiangguo, the time to come to the palace is relatively less.

After all, Xiangguo is the head of the administration of a country, and there are many things! Besides, Liu Tong, who has just become the prime minister, also wants to make a little political achievement in order to gain a foothold in the scattered country.

"Qianyi's Ren is back." Liu Tong said after getting up.

Ren is back?

Sanpanzi's face was confused, "Who is Renji, does this have anything to do with Sanguo?" ”

It's only been a few days, and Sanpan has long forgotten about this little person named Ren.

"Your Majesty, Ren Ji is the envoy sent by the minister to Qianyi! Now he has something to report to the king when he returns. ”

After listening to Liu Tong's words, Sanpanzi remembered that he had also sent a small official named Ren to Qianyi.

"You say he's back? Why don't he stay in Qianyi and run back? ”

Liu Tong replied: "Ren Ji said that it is already the end of summer, and the Qin people ask us to send troops to Longchuan early to protect the people and the city there. ”

"Do you want the widow to send troops to Qianyi to protect the people and the city there?" When he heard this, he sneered: "Isn't this a joke? If I have soldiers to go to Qianyi to protect them, what do I want them to do with the Qin people. You let Ren Ji go back and tell the Qin people, just say that the affairs of Qianyi are left alone, and let them solve it themselves. ”

"Don't tell jokes, if you really let the Qin people solve it themselves, then the matter will be big, if the Qin people collude with Rong Di to deal with me and scatter the country, then can we still survive?" Liu Tong jokingly said with the dish.

"The Qin people colluded with Rong Di?" Sanpanzi also laughed when he heard it, "You're not joking, Qin Ren and Rong Di are feuds, will they collude together?" ”

Liu Tong shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, don't forget that there are no permanent enemies in the world, and there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. If it is a favorable matter, Qin and Rong Di will definitely give up their previous suspicions and conspire with me to disperse the country. ”

As soon as he heard this, Sanpanzi was a little nervous, "So the Qin people have to take care of this request, but whenever Rong Di goes south, the scattered country is difficult to protect itself, what can I do to protect the people and the city of Longchuan?" ”

Liu Tong didn't turn around and said directly: "Although we don't have soldiers and horses, we can allow the Qin people to organize their own soldiers and horses!" Isn't there a lot of people in Qianyi now? You can let the Qin people expand their own army and enrich their soldiers and horses to protect themselves! ”

Expanding the army to protect itself?

After listening to this, he was silent for a while and said, "It seems easy to expand the army, but it is really not easy to do; After all, the royal family has control over the number of armies of each country. ”

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou royal family did have regulations on the armies of various countries, and the "Zhou Li" stipulated that "where the army is controlled, there are 2,500 people as the army, the sixth army of the king, the third army of the big country, the second army of the second country, the first army of the small country, and the generals are all ordained." There are 500 people in 2,000 as teachers, and all the teachers and commanders are middle doctors. Five hundred people are the brigade, and the brigade commanders are all doctors. Hundreds of people are pawns, and the captains are all sergeants. Twenty-five people were two, and both Sima were sergeants. Five people are in a team, and they all have strengths. ”

Therefore, if the Qin people want to expand their army in Qianyi, this is still a big problem, and it is not that if you want them to expand their army, they can expand it casually.
