Chapter 263: The Deal Is Done

Zhao Shuo believed that Longyou's Shi Lance and Shi Zong could resist, so after Zhang Chujiu, Zhi Yanye, and Zhi Yuexiu left, he still chose to wait. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This time, the wait was not long, and Zhang Chujiu, who had gone to Western Xia, returned.

"Lord Wang, good news, good news!" Before entering the mansion, Zhang Chujiu shouted.

His scream made Fang Yunsheng, Zhe Yueying, and Yan Wu, who lived in the backyard, all run out.

"Second Lieutenant Zhang, what a good thing, make you so happy!" Chang'an won a great victory, destroying 50,000 Qi troops, and the generals who participated were all promoted. But Zhang Chujiu was imprisoned by Li Yuanhao in Western Xia, so his official position was still a second lieutenant. As soon as Fang Yunshang ran out, he asked Zhang Chujiu.

"Is it that the war in Longyou has been calmed down?" Zhi Yueying asked with a grin. "I'll just say it! How could that yellow-headed Uighur be our opponent. ”

"Chu Jiu, what's the matter, what did you say!" Seeing that Zhang Chujiu didn't speak, Yan Wu, who came out last, asked.

"Three, this last general has to report to the prince first, and only after obtaining the prince's permission can he say it!" Zhang Chujiu looked embarrassed and said helplessly.

"What's the matter, you're still hiding it from us?" Zheyueying pursed her lips, very dissatisfied.

"Okay, don't guess, what Chu Jiu said must be Li Yuanhao of Western Xia, it has nothing to do with what you think." Zhao Shuo came to the courtyard, shook his head and smiled.

"The last general will meet the prince!" Seeing Zhao Shuo come out, Zhang Chujiu let out a long breath and saluted.

"Get up!" Zhao Shuo raised his hand, and after Zhang Chujiu got up, Zhao Shuo continued. "Did Li Yuanhao agree to sell? Tell me what his conditions are! ”

"The prince's clever calculation, the last general will admire!" Zhang Chujiu patted himself on the back first, and then said the point. "Lord Wang, last time, Li Yuanhao wanted to exchange a war horse for ten small cannonballs, but this time I said that after the Liao State and the Meng Gu Department were also negotiating, Li Yuanhao proposed to exchange a war horse for eight small cannonballs, and he was willing to send someone to send it."

"You're glad you're like that!" Zhao Shuo smiled and pointed at Zhang Chujiu. "You take a rest, and then go back to Xixia again, and tell Li Yuanhao that I will only give him five small cannonballs for a war horse, if he is not happy, in view of our good relationship, you can buy it with silver, one thousand five hundred and twenty."

After Zhao Shuo's words were finished, Zhang Chujiu was completely stupid. When he sold small cannonballs to Wan Yan Gao, he knew. That small cannonball would only be five hundred taels, and now Zhao Shuo has directly increased it by three times, which he would never dare to think of anyway.

You must know that when Zhao Shuo was stationed in Gu County, there was no external trouble, but now the Longyou soldiers are in trouble, and the surrounding countries are even more eyeing, it stands to reason that in order to win over the Western Xia, Zhao Shuo should give a cheaper price, but Zhao Shuo did the opposite, not only not cheap, but the price is higher.

Moreover, Zhao Shuo is now going to establish cavalry, and the materials of war horses cannot be bought with silver, Li Yuanhao lowered the standard, it stands to reason that Zhao Shuo should use it directly. But now, it's not at all what I imagined.

"What's wrong? Silly! Seeing that Zhang Chujiu was silent for a long time, Zhao Shuo walked over and patted him, and said with a smile.

"Lord Wang!" Zhang Chujiu was stunned, came back to his senses, and hurriedly saluted. "Lord Wang, at this price, I'm afraid it's not easy to make a deal!"

"Don't worry, Li Yuanhao will agree." Zhao Shuo said affirmatively.

Raising a small cannonball to 1,500 taels is definitely a pit man, of course, if someone is willing to pay so much money to buy it, Zhao Shuo will definitely not refuse.

But Zhao Shuo knew that Li Yuanhao would never pay so much money to buy it. He proposed such a high price, just to set off the cost-effectiveness of exchanging war horses.

Although Zhao Shuo is not very familiar with the current price of war horses, based on the five hundred and twenty-one small cannonballs that Zhao Shuo sold to Wan Yangao, Li Yuanhao proposed to exchange one war horse for eight small cannonballs, that is, four thousand taels of silver for one war horse.

Such a price, Zhao Shuo felt that it was too expensive.

When the small cannonball was sold to Wan Yan Gao, no one knew about it, but now after the two propaganda of the Jin Civil War and the total annihilation of the Qi army, the small cannonball has become famous, so the price should be longer.

Therefore, Zhao Shuo proposed at this time that five small cannonballs were exchanged for a war horse.

"Since the prince said yes, then it must do." Zhang Chujiu cheered himself up, and then arched his hand and said. "Lord Wang, the last general will go to Xia Kingdom again and negotiate with Li Yuanhao."

"Wait, don't worry!" Zhao Shuo stopped Zhang Chujiu. "Tell Li Yuanhao that the war horse will be sent directly to the Shi Lance and Shi Zong in Longyou, and then come to Chang'an to get a small cannonball."

Zhang Chujiu's body stiffened suddenly, which invisibly increased the difficulty of the negotiation again. However, the condition was proposed by Zhao Shuo, so what he Zhang Chujiu could do was to go all out.

"The last general knows!" Zhang Chujiu said it very tragically, because he felt that this time, I am afraid that he will never come back.

With a deep salute to Zhao Shuo, Zhang Chujiu turned around and left.

In Yanzhou, Western Xia, in the face of Zhang Chujiu, who came again, Li Yuanhao seemed a little excited, and he thought that Zhao Shuo would definitely agree to the conditions he proposed. However, after Zhang Chujiu finished talking about Zhao Shuo's conditions one by one, Li Yuanhao's face changed from excitement to solemnity, and then to anger.

"His Royal Highness the King of Xiping, these are the original words of His Royal Highness the King of Song, if you think it is inappropriate, you can refuse." Zhang Chujiu knew that he would definitely die, but his heart was open-minded.

"Refuse?" Li Yuanhao gritted his teeth and said. "Why should I refuse!"

"So that's what you say?" Zhang Chujiu's face changed, and he didn't believe it. "King Xiping agreed!"

"The king agreed!" Li Yuanhao calmed down. "Are the Liao Kingdom and that Meng Gu Department really interested in small cannonballs?"

Li Yuanhao believes that Zhao Shuo made out the Liao State and the Menggu Department in order to raise the price of small cannonballs.

"Don't hide it from King Xiping, Zhe Yanye and Zhe Yuexiu are now acting as envoys to negotiate with the Meng Gu Department in the Liao Kingdom, originally I thought that when they come back, His Royal Highness the King of Song will make a decision on where to buy the war horse." Zhang Chujiu arched his hand towards Li Yuanhao. "Unexpectedly, as soon as King Xiping mentioned the conditions, the prince gave the conditions and traded with Xia first. It seems that the status of King Xiping in the heart of King Song is still not low. ”

Zhang Chujiu's words made Li Yuanhao feel more comfortable. "Second Lieutenant Zhang, I wish us a successful cooperation, and this king will have a banquet in the evening, you have to give face."

"This~!" Zhang Chujiu's face was embarrassed! "War Horse Thing......"

"I'll let people prepare for a while, and early tomorrow morning, five thousand war horses will transport Longyou!" Li Yuanhao said boldly. (To be continued.) )
