Chapter Seventy-One
After Ran Fei returned to Jiyang, he told everyone everything about Linzi, and everyone felt that the King of Qi had done a very bad job in this matter, and some brothers even thought that the King of Qi had begun to distrust the northern part of Ran Fei's control. This is also, in the south of Liang Wenbing, Hou Sheng has always mentioned it in the queen's ear, and the wind blowing on the pillow is good. But the north is different, on the one hand, the Yan State is an enemy, and it may attack from time to time, if Ran Fei unites with it and lets the Yan army come in, he will be able to hit Linzi by surprise, which is related to the safety of the country, and Ran Fei is a newly promoted general, unlike Liang Wenbing, who has been by the side of King Qi when he was in Lucheng, and King Qi has to guard against it; On the other hand, Tian Dan is a rough man, although he is Xiangguo, but he can't speak, unlike in the future, even if he says the wrong thing, he will not be blamed, plus some people who are jealous of Ran Fei say bad things about him from time to time, King Qi gradually lost trust in Ran Fei.
There are more than ten days before the New Year, Ran Fei feels that the New Year is auspicious, so everyone should not take these unpleasant things to heart and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.
At this time, the Chinese New Year is not like the 21st century, there are fireworks, and at this time even gunpowder has not been invented, so the only fun for everyone is to play around with lanterns and eat delicious food.
It's just that because of the war in Qi State, many people's families can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing, so how can they have anything to use for the New Year. This made Lu Zhonglian very worried, Lu Zhonglian found Ran Fei, and Ran Fei had no choice but to take a step to watch one.
But I didn't want to, a few days later, Qin and South Korea went to war, and the leader of Qin was Bai Qi, Bai Qi took advantage of the New Year to raid South Korea, and South Korea was defeated again and again, so he had to beg for mercy and took out a lot of property as a transaction to keep most of the country. This attracted the attention of Lian Po of Zhao State, and Lian Po wrote to prepare the army in case of a sneak attack by Qin, and King Zhao agreed. Lian Po knew that weapons were a very important factor in the war, which could determine the victory or defeat of the battlefield, and that the Qin State had very good craftsmen, and the Zhao State was invincible. Before quietly sent people to the Qin State to buy their weapons, but was refused, and then tried to steal their craftsmanship quietly, but all ended in failure, and later heard that Ran Fei's north gathered the world's famous craftsmen, cast good swords, and wanted to buy good weapons from Ran Fei. But Lian Po knew that he had quietly reached an agreement with Yan State before, allowing them to raid Qi State through the border of Zhao State, which had already made the two families have hatred. In order to show his sincerity, Lian Po personally wrote a letter to the Qi-Zhao border and asked to meet with Ran Fei to discuss the matter of weapons.
Ran Fei thought about it again and again, first, the Qin State is too powerful, if it is left unchecked, the Qi State will also become the next South Korea at that time, but if the matter of weapons is reported to the King of Qi, then the King of Qi may not be agreed because of the previous incident of the Zhao State letting the Yan army in. Therefore, Ran Fei felt that this matter should be hidden from King Qi and quietly reached a deal; Second, the north is now short of money, and it is useless to report to Linzi, thinking that they have no money.
Ran Fei discussed the details with Zhang Dali, Yuan Qi, and the military advisor, and soon made all preparations.
On the border of Qi and Zhao, the universities are flying, everyone is wearing thick cotton jackets, Ran Fei has been waiting here for a while, the appointed time is almost up, but Lian Po has not come yet, Ran Fei thought, isn't he coming?
But soon, Ran Fei saw a large group of people, led by a tall and mighty man with a long beard, deep eyes, and a handsome face. Lian Po is really like a picture scroll in history, what a hero!
Lian Po stepped forward, and Ran Fei hugged his fists: "I heard that General Lian Po is famous, but when I see it today, it really deserves its name!" ”
Lian Po smiled: "I'm ashamed!" But it's better to get things done early! ”
Ran Fei smiled and waved his hand: "Bring it up!" ”
When his subordinates heard Ran Fei's order, they raised two big boxes of words and put them in front of Ran Fei and Lian Po, Ran Fei opened the box, took out a long sword and handed it to Lian Po, Lian Po took out the long sword, only to see that the sword was more than 60 centimeters long, extremely sharp, Lian Po pulled out a hair, and gently scraped it up, and the hair became two.
Lian Po smiled: "Good sword!" ”
Ran Fei smiled: "A good sword is a good sword, but originally we didn't want to sell it!" ”
Lian Po's face immediately changed: "What? Do you want to go back? You know, your Qi country is very short of money now! ”
Ran Fei said: "Of course not, I just want to tell you a few things!" ”
Lian Po: "Say it! As long as it's not too much, it's easy to say! ”
Ran Fei: "The heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State, I think you know it, and since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the national strength of the Qin State has become more and more prosperous, and the other six countries are beyond the reach of the dust. Although I Qi Guo is far away from the Qin State, if the rest of the countries are annexed by the Qin State, then my Qi State will inevitably come to an end. Therefore, we sold these weapons to you because you resisted the Qin State, and if you fight back and turn your sword towards us, then we can also cooperate with the Qin State! I want to say that you understand. ”
Lian Po thought that he looked at Ran Fei very deeply, and said that the marshal of the northern part of Qi was strategic, and when he saw it today, he really lived up to his reputation, and the situation between the three kingdoms was clear in a few words!
Lian Po: "The Qin State is strong, we think we can't compete with it alone, I will report to the King of Zhao and let him be friendly with the Qi State." ”
Ran Fei: "Thank you! Since you are so sincere, then I also guarantee that this is by no means the last batch of weapons sold to you! Happy working together! ”
Lian Po: "Happy cooperation, just King Qi's side?" ”
Ran Fei: "I will let Tian Dan Xiangguo tell him, you can rest assured!" ”
Lian Po felt very embarrassed when he saw what Ran Fei said every time, and hugged his fists and respected, "You are polite." ”
Ran Fei smiled, and the two shook hands. Lian Po waved his hand and said, "Bring the money." Soon the soldiers behind him carried over boxes of knife coins, and Ran Fei opened it and wondered, how could Lian Po have so many knife coins?
Lian Po saw that Ran Fei was very curious, and said with a smile, our Zhao State has been fighting with the Xiongnu in the north all the year round, and if the supply is not timely, the army will fall into a crisis, so a lot of swords and coins have been prepared in case of emergency.
Ran Fei smiled and said to himself, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a famous general, he is really scheming." ”
The subordinate roughly nodded, "A total of 3,000 knife coins!" Ran Fei smiled and said, "The general is sincere, it seems that I am not mistaken!" ”
Lian Po "Accept and concede, and then we will continue according to the agreement?" ”
Ran Fei: "Of course! ”
