Chapter 155: This is called the hegemony of a strong country
"Lord! That's 20,000 horses! General Pang Juan reminded.
"What are 20,000 horses? With the talent of a general, it is not too much to give you another 100,000 cavalry. We are Wei State! There are too few cavalry, and in terms of the speed of transporting troops, it is still not fast enough! If we add another 20,000 cavalry, we can react quickly and achieve our goal! ……”
King Wei Hui couldn't help but get excited when he thought about that kind of scene.
"Lord! 20,000 horses is good! More than 100,000 cavalry is good, but? There are 20,000 more cavalry at once, how much does it cost? General Pang Juan sighed to himself.
Although he was a little arrogant, he still didn't dare to interrupt King Wei Hui's words. No matter how much he is a cow, he doesn't dare to compare cattle in front of King Wei Hui. The man is the king, and he is the minister. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die!
At this time, Pang Juan, because he could fight and won several battles, was already quite arrogant. In addition to not daring to be arrogant in front of King Wei Hui and not daring to be arrogant in front of several other old ministers, ordinary people can't look at him.
It is precisely because of this that he was later jealous of Sun Bin's talent and tortured Sun Bin.
Sun Bin's name was also called so later, and he was not called Sun Bin before. It was only after Wei was framed by Pang Juan and tortured that the world called him Sun Bin. It is not meant to be demeaning, on the contrary! Or praise him.
At this time, Sun Bin was still traveling the world behind his master Guiguzi, and did not come to Wei. Guiguzi has not yet lived in seclusion, and Sun Bin came to find his senior brother Pang Juan after Guiguzi lived in seclusion. I wanted to show my talent, but I was jealous of my brother Pang Juan and was punished. At last! With the help of his brother-in-law Lin Yi in the Qi State, he fled to the Qi State. This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
After King Wei Hui heard Pang Juan's words, he stopped.
If someone dared to interrupt him so rudely, he would have killed someone. Just like Cao Cao in later generations, he was writing poems on the bow of the boat, but was interrupted and ruined. In a fit of rage, he killed the uninteresting guy.
Listening to Pang Juan's story, it was indeed the truth, and King Wei Hui was not angry. After a pause, he said, "This is not a problem! With the financial resources of our Wei State, the weapons and armor of 20,000 soldiers can be taken out, right? Raising 20,000 more soldiers only takes a war! If we defeat the Song State or any of the less-than-eyed princes, they will be able to feed our 20,000 soldiers. Isn't it? We increased taxes on the land west of the river of the Qin people, and the grain and grass came out. Isn't it? ”
Seeing King Wei Hui looking at him, Pang Juan nodded and said, "That's the truth!" Lord! No matter how many tens of thousands of soldiers and horses we have in Wei, we can also take on it! These men are not soldiers, don't they eat food the same? ”
"That's right! The widow thinks so too! The soldiers are not soldiers, they have to eat food. Soldier! Although we have mistaken agriculture, our army can reap the rewards when we win the battle!
As long as we win a battle, it is equivalent to the defeated country planting land for our Wei country and feeding our soldiers. So! Add another 20,000 cavalry, not a problem! Opposite! The strength of our Wei State is stronger!
With 20,000 more cavalry, the general can quickly transport troops to the destination! Win the Fighter! Isn't it? General? ”
"Lord? But? What do we buy these 20,000 horses? Pang Juan's face changed and asked.
There is no food, we can take it through war, and let the defeated countries compensate us. And weapons and armor are ready-made, and a victorious battle is fought, and the battlefield is full of weapons and dead people. The dead have armor on their bodies. Right now! In the warehouses of the Wei State, armor and weapons were piled up. The armor is really not enough, let the craftsmen work overtime, repair those bad armor, and use it again.
But what about the money to buy a horse?
Right now! If you didn't catch Bai Gui's family, how could you let Bai Gui Bai send you 20,000 horses?
"Do you want to buy it again?" King Wei Hui's eyes were habitually glared, and when he saw that it was the general Pang Juan, he immediately showed an ugly smile, softened his tone and said, "Do you still need to spend money to buy it?" For me! For us in the Wei Kingdom! Do you still have to spend money to buy it? In this era of hegemony, do you still have to spend money to buy it? ”
"Lord?" Pang Juan asked puzzledly, "What about us?" ”
"Isn't his Bai Gui's horse still in Zhongshan Country now? Isn't it? King Wei Hui asked.
"Yes! According to the news sent back by the spies, Bai Gui's horse is encircled in a place in Zhongshan Kingdom, waiting to make a move! ”
"Isn't that right?" King Wei Hui looked at Pang Juan with his eyes, saw that Pang Juan was looking at him puzzled, waiting for him to answer, nodded his head, and said, "His Baigui's horse, isn't it still transported from Zhao Guo?" ”
"Yes! Lord! Bai Gui's horse must be transported from Zhao Guo, and it can't fly! ”
"Not yet? Hahaha! Seeing that Pang Juan still didn't understand what he meant, he stopped laughing and asked, "Didn't you say it just now?" Both the states of Chu and the states of Qi are stationed on the border? What are you doing at the border? ”
"This?" Pang Juan then understood: What does King Wei Hui mean?
"The purpose of their troops stationed at the border is to put pressure on Zhao Guo and let Zhao Guo let him go. Don't? Can't we garrison troops at the border and let Zhao Guo not let him go? King Wei Hui explained.
"This?" Pang Juan thought for a while and said, "But they are two superpowers?" One is the State of Qi and the other is the State of Chu? We? If? Zhao State partnered with Qi State and Chu State to deal with our Wei State? ”
"How dare he? How dare he Zhao Hou? King Wei Hui roared. And then! He softened his tone and said, "Qi State, Chu State and Zhao State are partners, can't we go and talk to Zhao State?" We are also partnering with them Zhao Guo! ”
Speaking of which! King Wei Hui paused, looked at the others in the court, and said, "We sent envoys to talk to Zhao State, and we will unite with the Three Jin Dynasty to attack Qin State." This! We wiped out the Qin State in one fell swoop, or! Send the old Qin people to the mountains. We promised Zhao and other places in Hexi, promised Korea the land bordering Zhao, and then met the requirements of Chu and gave him a thousand horses.
Didn't the state of Chu ask for horses? Give him these thousand horses, and their Chu State will no longer fight with us. Isn't it? There is only one Qi country left, so far away from us, can he bite my hanging? Hahaha......"
"Lord, you can't!" An old minister came out of the queue and stopped: "The land west of the river is what our Wei State exchanged for the lives of our soldiers, can't it be given to Zhao State?" ”
"Lord, can't you?" Another old minister flashed out and stopped: "The place where we border Zhao State cannot be given to South Korea!" Cutting off the direct passage between South Korea and Zhao is of strategic importance to us! Lord! ”
"Smack!" Seeing that there were still people who wanted to come out to speak, King Wei Hui angrily grabbed the bamboo slips on the desk and smashed them. shouted: "Even you brainless people want to dominate? No! is also worthy of being an official in the court! ”
Under the drinking of King Wei Hui, the court was suddenly quiet.
"Am I sincere in giving them that? Am I not? Promised to them? In the end, whether to give it or not, is it not up to me to decide? Now the key is! Stop Qi from buying horses! Qi can't be strong! The country of Qi is strong, which is not good for us to dominate!
What are they Qi country? A small border country, they think I can't destroy it? Who are they in Qi Kingdom? The king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, the father is not the father, and the son is not the son! Extinguish it! ”
