Chapter 196: Negotiation

In order to welcome the arrival of King Zhuang, King Cai tried his best to hold a banquet. On weekends, Yu was seated at the chief, and Cai Wangxi accompanied the last seat.

Cai Guo is experiencing war, and the food and wine are simple. Some of the generals of the state of Chu kept complaining.

"What is this? How to eat? A grumpy regular army general smashed the bowl in his hand.

This time, the army of the State of Chu saved the entire State of Cai, and the army of Chu was a little flustered, especially the generals of the regular army.

King Cai looked embarrassed: "Some of the food in the main city is close to the soldiers first. King Cai was angry in his heart, but he had to swallow his anger and suppress his anger in his heart.

"It's a special time, so you can just eat it. If you don't want to eat, you can go hungry. Weekend looked at the general with dissatisfaction. He originally saved Cai Guo, because these people King Cai would resent him if he didn't do it well. Affection turns into enmity.

After the weekend finished speaking, he ate silently. King Cai is also half of his father-in-law, and if he sues him in front of Cai Yunxi in the future, then he will have to bother to coax the beauty. Cai Guo's food also feels rough, but how can he pick and choose at this time? Some are good to eat.

When the generals saw that he had eaten, they were no longer disgusted, so they also picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.

King Cai's face paleated slightly, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot. No matter how much you dislike it, my daughter is the wife of King Zhuang, and King Zhuang will not let me lose face in front of Yun Xi.

Eat silently, sleep silently. I don't speak on weekends, and no one else dares to speak.

While eating on the weekend, he asked the system: "System, how many soldiers and horses are there in the Jin Kingdom this time?" ”

Host, I have to warn you. The Jin State attacked the city this time with 50,000 horses, and there were 50,000 more to follow. The soldiers you brought this time are only 30,000, and the old and weak soldiers of Cai Guo are only more than 40,000 in total.

This time over the weekend, he only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, although they were all elite soldiers, but the number of soldiers and horses that the Jin State could mobilize was more than that of the Chu State and the Cai State, and now it was just not fully assembled.

"We're going to lose. So I had to upgrade the fortifications of Cai Guo. "Said to the system on the weekend.

"Some eras after the Warring States period gave birth to a lot of war weapons, especially in the Ming Dynasty, even gunpowder was developed, if it weren't for those sour Confucianism, Ming Dynasty China would have entered the era of hot weapons." Gunpowder is the easiest and most convenient way to use, and if there is an artillery, the Jin army is not afraid of 100,000 people. "System, can you give me four guns?"

As long as a cannon is placed at each gate, the battle will be won.

"Host, artillery is a product of modern society and cannot appear in the Warring States period. You are also not allowed to research the artillery yourself, otherwise you will be severely punished if you allow the artillery that did not belong to the Warring States period to exist in this space. ”

"It's a big deal to be struck by lightning again." The weekend was unimpressed.

"Host, if you seriously violate history, even I will be punished, and there is a good chance that you will be trapped in the gap of time and disappear from people's view forever, so absolutely not." The system gave him advice several times.

"So serious?" In the past, he violated history several times in the past, and the system punished him, but at most he was struck by lightning.

"Hot weapons are products that will only appear after a thousand years, and if you let hot weapons appear a thousand years in advance, it is very likely that it will cause chaos in the entire space, you and I are both people who exist in the future, how can we not be affected."

All right. Artillery or something is really too avant-garde. The ancients also had many capable people. Maybe you can see the artillery and study it and build it yourself.

"Artillery can't work, what about the weapons of war of other dynasties?"

"Host, I can give you a list of weapons you can use, but you can only choose two of them."

As he spoke, the choice appeared in front of me at the end of the week.

1. Ladder truck, used to climb over the city wall and siege equipment. Equipped with anti-shields, winches, grappling hooks and other equipment. It was built by Luban during the reign of King Hui of Chu.

Second, rockets. This is an arrow in which an ignition is attached to a bow arrow and then shot at an enemy to cause incineration.

3. The trebuchet is a siege weapon in ancient times, which can throw huge stones into the enemy's walls and castles, causing damage.

Fourth, the three-bow bed crossbow, also known as the eight-cow crossbow. The arrow is made of hard wood as the shaft, and the iron piece is used as the feather, which is known as "one gun and three sword arrows", and the bed crossbow can also fire the "stepping arrow", which is magnificent when fired. This bow and crossbow already existed during the Warring States period, but only large countries had it.

Fifth, the door knife car. It is a fortification device used to block a city when the gates are breached. There are 24 steel knives on the front blade wall, and when used, the cart can be pushed to the gap in the city gate, which can not only kill and injure enemies, but also block enemy arrows and stones. In this way, it is difficult for the other party to climb and form a barrier to activity.

Didn't hesitate to choose four and five for the weekend. Although the fourth item was in Chu State, it was not brought on the weekend, nor did it bring design drawings, and Cai Guo's craftsmen could not make it in a short time. The bed crossbow is both offensive and defensive, and it is very practical. And the Semen knife cart is the last second line of defense. Obviously, these two tools of war are perfect for defending the city.

The system prompted aloud: "Host, you need to deduct 100 chasing female coins to choose these two items, are you sure to choose these two items?" ”

"Why are you deducting me from chasing female coins again?" The weekend was dumbfounded.

"Host, you can also choose a full mission to obtain these two weapons of war."

"What task?" Eighty percent is a difficult task to complete, but I am still curious to know on the weekend.

"Let Cai Yunxi's favorability towards you further increase?"

"Cai Yunxi is far away in Chu State, how can I improve her favorability towards me." Weekend air knots. If Cai Yunxi is here, he believes that he will definitely be able to further enhance Cai Yunxi's good opinion of him, but the problem is that Cai Yunxi is not here. The system simply deliberately proposes tasks that he can't accomplish.

"Let's deduct the female coin." The weekend secretly gritted his teeth, and sooner or later he had to fully control the system.

"The host pays 100 chasing girls to get a bed crossbow and a Semen knife cart. The bed crossbow and the door jam knife cart have been placed in the system space, please check with the host. ”

The meat hurt a handful over the weekend. However, fortunately, there is no need to deduct the chasing girl coin for intimacy with Cai Yunxi.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the soldiers came to report. "King Zhuang, the Jin army is coming to call for battle!"

King Cai immediately looked at the weekend.

Over the weekend, my mind turned a few times. "The Jin army didn't expect that I would send troops to save Cai Guo, and the soldiers and horses haven't been assembled yet, so it's better to negotiate with them first and buy time."

"King Cai, you send an envoy to meet the commander of the Jin Kingdom and tell him that I want to negotiate with him." The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy. He didn't have much chance of winning now, so it was better to negotiate with him before the Jin army figured out his truth and let the Jin army suspend the siege.

King Cai was a little worried. "King Zhuang, will the Jin army agree?"
