Chapter 185: Eighty Thousand Mercenaries
Inside the quaint wooden building, there is burning wood with a light and mellow fragrance, and there is little green smoke, which makes this space sink in the fragrance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Chen, who was immersed in such intoxication, felt that his whole soul had been sublimated, and the ethereal feeling made him very sensitive to the aura around him.
But Jiang Jian still had a straight face at this time, with a straight face, which made Liu Chen secretly sigh that this person really doesn't know how to enjoy and don't understand the fun of literati.
"You don't understand, you don't need much leverage to deal with the king of the plate, and the six thousand crossbows have already made them grateful, but don't forget, the lonely person here represents the Han Heavenly Dynasty, and Xuanwei and virtue are the key, which is a thousand years of important things."
Of course, these words were also whispered to Jiang Jian, and after speaking, regardless of whether he understood it or not, he closed his eyes and listened to the green silk and bamboo wind music.
Compared with Liu Chen's leisure, Wang Yongzheng was a little hesitant and hesitant at this time, because the negotiations with the ministers and leaders were not harmonious.
"King, our army is only 100,000 in total, and there are many private soldiers, if we take out 60,000, even if we have those 6,000 crossbows, we can't face the strong forces of the Bi Kingdom and the Panyue Kingdom, not to mention that these crossbows have to be transported from the capital of the Han Kingdom."
This is also an old man, named Kebinushan, who is the leader of another large tribe, whose territory is close to the southwest, and is always facing the threat of large armies from both sides of the enemy country, so he is strongly opposed.
"King, the leader of Kebinu Mountain is right, although the crossbow is strong, it is not worth gambling with the fate of the entire country."
"Yes......"
The words of Kebinu Mountain were supported by a large number of chieftains, who were all local tyrant leaders in the southwest, and because of the high quantity and quality of jade produced there, the average power was stronger.
These words made the white-haired old man and a few other leaders frown, they were loyal supporters of the Sheet King, and naturally hoped to profit from the Plate Kingdom through this contract, but now the situation seemed to be a little out of control.
"King, my country has been down for hundreds of years, just because the national strength is insufficient, there is no support, but if the dynasty is willing to help our country today, this is a godsend, if you decide as soon as possible, and offend His Royal Highness the prince of the heavenly dynasty at that time, I am afraid the situation is not good."
As soon as these words came out, not only the king of Zhu, but also many people who opposed it just now were shocked, they could compete with Panyue and Bi respectively, but if they offended the Han Heavenly Dynasty, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it was enough to eat them to the bone.
"Otherwise, we will send out 40,000 troops, leaving 60,000 against two enemies each, plus those 6,000 crossbows, we can also defeat those mountains and barbarians."
Kebinushan finally relented, and spoke nervously and hesitantly, not even with any confidence in his words.
"There is no need to discuss this matter again, you must gather 80,000 troops for this king within a month, only in this way can your Highness take a fancy to it, and the extra vacancies will be transferred by the leaders of 60,000 private troops, don't tell this king that 60,000 troops can't be drawn, otherwise, hum!"
When it came time to make a decision, King Sheet still showed his decisiveness and said majestically.
"The king is wise, and the ministers are in charge!"
Immediately, some people bowed their heads in support, and although Kebinushan and others looked very unsightly when they saw this, they had to carry it out.
After receiving the reply from the king of Sheet, Liu Chen was very satisfied, and personally gave a brand-new blood-bladed three-pattern knife to the king of Sheet, which made this king who was desperately short of steel excited.
After that, the contract drafted by Liu Chen and Yongzheng was signed, and the country sent an army of 80,000, and the Han Dynasty was responsible for the grain and grass and the subsequent armor, and gave the country 6,000 crossbows, and opened a commercial market for several tribes on the border of Yongchang and the country, exchanging spices, jade, grain, grass and other things.
Liu Chen had his own business, in order to reassure the king, he left his personal captain Jiang Jian and ten blood-bladed warriors, and he returned to Jiaozhou with these people.
After sending someone to contact Mi Zhao halfway and learning about the process of rice seeds, Liu Chen directly took these people to Longbian and Jiaozhou Thorn Mansion.
"Childe, news from the north seems to be a matter of your family."
Hearing the word "home", Liu Chen knew that it was Zhuge Zhan and others who discussed the strategy of dealing with Jin and Wu ten days ago, especially to solicit Liu Chen's policy on goods and material enemies.
For this, Liu Chen directly chose to agree, and then asked people to send it to Shudu quickly.
"Let's go, let's go meet this aspiring assassin and see if he needs help now."
After receiving Mi Zhao's reply, there was a warrant from Ruan County, Yuma Prefecture, and all the rice seeds had been transported to Xinggu County, and the people sent by Zhuge Zhan to receive them were also on the way.
So Liu Chen, who didn't need to think about these troubles, thought of meeting this Lu Xing.
"Please tell Lu Tingshi, the merchants of Shuzhong came to visit at night!"
When he came to the door of the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Chen asked Xiao Si to go up to make a statement, and secretly stuffed it in front of him, and when he saw Liu Chen again, he was just a white-faced businessman, and the captain of the gate went in to make a statement.
"Shuzhong merchants? I actually drove the trade route to my Jiaozhou, and it was really powerful enough, and now I want to get a warrant, and it's really a bunch of profit-seekers, I don't see! ”
The white fat and elegant man listened to the guard's return, and there was disdain in his eyes, and he unceremoniously refused, quite a bit of a general's decisiveness.
And there is a thin old man on the side, holding a peacock fan, squinting his eyes, as if he is napping, looking quite like a fairy wind and bones.
"Wait, my lord, why don't you want the money and food materials sent to your door?"
As soon as these words came out, the guards quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but the white fat man turned his head to look over, and he couldn't completely ignore the words of this wise man.
"However, I don't want to be in the company of lowly businessmen who covet the smell of copper!"
Hearing these resolute words, the old man not only did not get angry, but opened his eyes and said with a smile:
"Adults have great ambitions and the world knows it, but if it is done in the future, you will also have to rule the people, and you will still have to contact it then, and now you will profit from the hands of Shuzhong merchants, and you will not lose money."
Hearing this, thinking of his grand ambition, Lu Xing's eyes lit up, and then he ordered the guards to let him wait in the side hall.
"Palace, Childe, what do you say if he doesn't see you?"
The little guy asked tentatively, looking at Liu Chen nervously, as if waiting for him to get angry.
Seeing the little guy dressed as a blood blade like this, Liu Chen smiled slightly and said:
"Just wait, and you'll have the answer in a while."
As soon as the words fell, he saw the guard come out, and Liu Chen's hanging heart also fell to the ground, in fact, he didn't have much bottom.
"Hehe, it seems that this Lu Xing's concept of door valve is also quite high."
Seeing that this was not a big hall and there were no servants, Liu Chen guessed some of Lu Xing's personality, and secretly thought in his heart.
"Lord Thorn Shi has arrived!"
Liu Chen waited for a quarter of an hour, and Lu Xingcai walked steadily in the sound of singing, with a proud face, like a fighting rooster.
Seeing Lu Xing, Liu Chen bowed his hand, but did not bow down.
"The merchant in Shuzhong is far away at night, and he has seen Lu Thorn History!"
"Bold, you are a little businessman, why don't you worship when you see Lord Thorn?"
The voice of a sonorous old man came, but it attracted Liu Chen's attention......
