Chapter 134: The King's Strength
Seeing that Qi Huan Gong didn't seem to understand, or! Without such considerations, Impermanence explained, "I mean! Individuals have their own ways and attitudes towards Baekyu, and we are a country.
A king is an image that represents a nation, and a king has royal dignity and authority.
I mean! A king can't be too respectful of a merchant! What is a businessman? Isn't it? So! As a king! Treat it with the way a king does! ”
"This?" Qi Huan Gong felt that it was not good to do this, but he couldn't convince the other party.
"Aren't you just looking for him to buy a horse? Can we just go to him and buy a horse like ordinary people? Isn't it? Lord? ”
"This?"
"Let's find a reason, catch his fault, and! Let him come to us on his own initiative. And then! Let's give him another chance to atone for his sins......"
Qi Huan Gong interrupted: "Are we buying a horse or?" ”
"Buy a horse!"
"Buying a horse? That? Qi Huan Gong asked suspiciously, "Then what price do you give?" ”
From the impermanence of the words, what Qi Huan Gong heard meant: Buying a horse is buying a horse, can you still buy a horse normally after such a toss? This is not? Is it clearly blackmail?
To know! If you blackmailed him Bai Gui this time, then after? We, the State of Qi: not only to buy ore from the State of Chu, but also to buy other Dongdong.
For example! To prepare for a war, we must rely on Bai Gui, a merchant, to prepare grain and grass.
To wage a big war, a protracted war, it is not enough to rely on domestic food alone. So! It is necessary to find Bai Gui, and through Bai Gui's commercial channels, collect grain and grass from the various princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In addition to war, there are natural disasters! If there is a drought or flood in the country, the country cannot be self-sufficient in food, and you have to exchange it for other things in your own life. And at this time, if you don't look for Bai Gui, a businessman, you won't be able to do anything.
Without Bai Gui, a merchant, to help through commercial channels, the kings and courtiers of other vassal states will not only not help to help the suffering and rescue out of humanitarian relief when they see the natural and man-made disasters in your country, but will also fall into the well, take advantage of the fire to rob, and take advantage of the danger of others to wage war against you.
At that time, the Warring States were such a Warring States, and in order to achieve hegemony and hegemony, in order to achieve the king's goal, there was no humanitarian spirit. Even! Inhuman. Of course! Not all kings were like that. But! If you want to make a reactionary war against you, you will always find a reason.
If you want to add sin, why should you do it?
With a reason, it is not inhumane, and the war becomes legitimized. In fact! It is to fall into the well, take advantage of the fire to rob, take advantage of the danger of others, and do not care about the life and death of the people of other countries.
This is not only the case during the Warring States period, but also from ancient times to the present. It's not that they don't have humanitarianism, but! They have found a reason to destroy and weaken your country. Their country can only be strong if its strength is weakened. And then! Slowly make your country disappear. So as to achieve the goal of unifying the world and hegemony.
"Of course it's the market price!" Impermanence replied.
"Market price?"
"Market price!"
"That? We? "What Qi Huan Gong means: Since we buy it at the market price, why bother tossing?
Impermanence looked at the puzzled Qi Huan Gong with a sneer on his face. Then he said, "That's the only way! He had to sell as many horses as we wanted! Other than that! The relationship between Zhao and Guo does not need us to get through! ”
"The relationship between the Zhao side?"
"We bought Bai Gui's horse, how can the horse be shipped back?" Impermanence prompted.
"This?"
"The horses we buy must go through the Zhao Kingdom before they can come to the Qi Kingdom. So! What if Zhao Guo doesn't agree? Isn't it? ”
"This?" Under the prompt of impermanence, Qi Huan Gong finally came to his senses.
"If Zhao Guo doesn't agree, what will we do? This horse? We bought it for nothing! We can't get it back! So! According to the news that our Cheetah scouts have gotten! Chu! I am communicating with the king of Zhao to discuss the matter of transporting horses......"
"What does it mean to be old?" Qi Huan Gong asked, "Let's toss like this!" Let's not talk to Zhao Guo in person. If he wants to save his wife and children, as well as his brother-in-law, he must talk to Zhao Guo and transport the horse to me. Otherwise? ”
"Not so! Hehehe! Impermanence made a head-chopping gesture.
That means: the hostages are in hand, and if he wants to save his wife, children and brother-in-law, he must do everything he can. He's Bai Gui! Totally capable of this! If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be able to do any business in the Great Zhou world.
"Kill?" Qi Huan Gong asked in surprise.
"It's not killing! It's to force him Bai Gui to figure out his own way! Therefrom! Our Qi country will have a lot less trouble! The relationship between our Qi State and Zhao State, I think: Don't let me say more, right? ”
"This?" Qi Huan Gong thought about it: the relationship between Qi and Zhao was not very good, and wars often occurred. But! There are no big problems either. If you have something to ask him Zhao Guo, they Zhao Guo also know how to handle it. After all! What you buy is horses (munitions), strategic and combat materials.
"And that's not all! Hehehe! Impermanence smirked: "It's far from that simple! Hehehe! ”
"This? Ageless? Don't? And a trick? Qi Huan Gong was completely persuaded by impermanence, and looked at impermanence with a respectful face, waiting for the following.
"Hehehe! ......" Impermanence smiled proudly and looked at Qi Huangong, who looked respectful to him.
"No Age! Please! Qi Huan Gong couldn't wait a little and urged.
"With his wife, children and brother-in-law in our hands, not only does he have to transport the horse to the Qi country for me, but also has another purpose! Lord! At this, Impermanence lowered his voice and became serious.
"No Age!"
"The reason why I'm so tormented is not only that! I have another plan! ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Lord! Think about it? Isn't that the case? Lord? ”
"What's going on?" Qi Huan interrupted anxiously.
"Can we sway Bai Guita to sell horses?"
"Selling horses?"
"Bai Gui's wife, children and brother-in-law are in our hands, can he not come to the rescue? So! He sells horses to whomever he wants, that's impossible! Horse! It's not just someone you can sell to! Lord! Isn't that the reason? If more than 10,000 horses were sold to a country, can you imagine? That would have to equip more than 10,000 cavalry. Coupled with the country's former cavalry, it is invincible in the world! Isn't it? ……”
Qi Huan Gong interrupted: "How is it possible? Buying 10,000 horses is not something that ordinary countries can do! How much money will it be exchanged for? Isn't it? Other than that! The equipment of more than 10,000 horses, as well as the equipment of the soldiers, the equipment of weapons. Other than that! What about life supplies? More than 10,000 horses, how much horse feed do you have to eat a day? More than 10,000 soldiers, how much food do they have to eat in a day? Isn't it? ”
"What if the equipment is given to the Wei State?" Impermanence interrupted.
"Wei State?"
"With the financial and manpower of the Wei State, it is completely possible! Furthermore! Pang Juan, the great general of the Wei State, his military talent is unmatched today! If Wei gave him more than 10,000 cavalry, wouldn't it? Can he sweep the world? ”
"This?" After Qi Huan Gong heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.
Wei really has this strength! If that's the case, the consequences are unimaginable.
"But! In our estimation! Wei also did not have the ability to buy more than 10,000 horses at once. But! ……”
"But what?"
"What if Wei cooperates with Bai Gui? Anything is possible! Lord? Think about it? Isn't it? ”
