Chapter 193: Silk Exchange Concubine

The West Vietnamese state was not strong in military forces, and there were no particularly clever generals, even compared to Korea, which was the weakest of the Seven Warring States Heroes, it was more humble.

And the king's mind is still relatively simple, and he was fooled by Tian Guang all of a sudden.

The army of the state of Qin quickened its pace until it reached the southern part of the state of Chu, and then stationed there, stopped, and did not continue to fight south.

The common characteristic of the Chinese people is that they are crazy about infrastructure, and since the beginning of the Great Wall, they have laid the gene for infrastructure construction.

Xia Li ordered to start digging ditches and set out to build a defensive line, and the location chosen was also very interesting, located at the junction of the three kingdoms.

Which three countries?

Great Qin, Western Vietnam and South Vietnam, of course!

Building a defensive line at the junction of the three kingdoms seems to prevent the enemy of the two families.

With a force of 10,000 troops, if you want to go to the West Yue country, with excellent equipment, there is a possibility of victory, but the mountains and forests here are dense, and the people of the Yue country have a favorable location.

Although Xia Li had a map, he didn't know who drew it, and after he went to the field to survey it, he couldn't be accurate at all, it looked like a fake.

A map is a map, it's just not right.

There are many Baiyue countries, only in Guangdong and Guangxi, there are about four Yue countries, from west to east are Luo Yue, West Yue, South Yue, and Min Yue.

South Vietnam is the strongest, West Vietnam is second, Min Yue, Luo Yue is the worst, this is divided according to the territory, but generally speaking, the territory is directly linked to the strength of the country.

Since Tian Guang came once, the West Yue Kingdom stepped up its military training, and temporarily crushed his feet, ready to kill him.

Fifteen years later.

Inside the palace of the king of Xiyue.

The king of Xiyue was in high spirits, raising his glass and drinking, and his big belly was like a big bucket, and the concubine next to him listened to it interestingly and poked his stomach.

It feels like it's full of water.

Several beauties in the hall are dancing, the life of the king is really happy, there is a fat house happy water, and there are fat house happy girls.

"Your Majesty, there is another person from the Central Plains outside who asks to see him, saying that he is from the original from the middle." The guards came in and reported.

The king of Xiyue frowned, these people are not polite anymore, it is convenient to know kung fu, they can go directly to my door, and even the soldiers in the capital can't find out.

"Let him in." King Xiyue said with some unhappiness.

Xia Li walked in and arched his hand: "King, here is an envoy from the Qin State, and he has come to discuss matters." ”

The king of Xiyue was displeased, and raised his eyebrows, since he was an envoy, he should have been informed in advance to submit the documents, how could there be a reason to suddenly break into the palace, is this the etiquette of Daqin.

When Xia Li came in, several dancing beauties in the hall stood on both sides, and they looked at Xia Li with some curiosity, wow, it turns out that the people of Qin look like this, and the clothes he wears look so handsome.

They talked about it one after another, Xia Li was wearing silk, and in terms of aesthetics, of course, it was better than the tiger skin skirt worn by their king.

And in this era, silk is more expensive than tiger skin skirts.

"This strong man is so handsome, even more handsome than the one who came back last year."

"Yes, yes, his clothes are also good-looking, shall we change them with him later?"

"Let's exchange ivory, where do I still have a few tusks, the last time the king rewarded it, it was useless to just put it away."

"I think he must like rhino horns, I can trade rhino horns for him!"

"Let's exchange it for a handmaid, a good-looking handmaid should be able to be exchanged, if it doesn't work, I'll give a few more."

It doesn't matter what the law is here, the concubine of the King of Xiyue muttered in a whisper in the ear, and was heard by Xia Li, haha, you can change a little daughter-in-law with a silk dress, it looks so profitable.

The King of Xiyue cleared his throat and coughed: "Envoy of the Qin State, what are you doing here?" ”

Since Xia Li came in, the King of Xiyue has begun to secretly transfer troops, if it weren't for Xia Li's martial arts, he would have been taken down a long time ago, and there is no such thing as not cutting him here.

Xia Li was about to get down to business, but the King of Xiyue didn't mean to avoid suspicion at all, and his concubines were still muttering in a low voice there.

The king of Xiyue did not intend to dismiss them, but returned them, so that the envoys of Daqin could see how beautiful our girls were.

"Your Majesty, the land of Baiyue, the heroes are divided, large and small are divided into dozens of kingdoms, and the soldiers of Xiyue are many generals, and they are the best among them, has the king ever thought of unifying Baiyue?" Xia Lidao.

He's not done yet.

"After the Great Qin Empire unified the six countries, it took the southern part of Chu as the boundary and stood side by side with Baiyue, and now, the Great Qin army is in the southern part of Chu and began to build a border defense line to achieve a win-win situation for both families."

The king of Xiyue paused slightly after listening to Xia Li's words, the news he got was indeed that Daqin's army was coming towards their side, but Tian Guang said that he was coming to invade Xiyue, and Xia Li was talking about building a defensive line.

Comprehensive analysis, it seems that Xia Li's words are more credible, the intelligence said that the number of Qin troops is less than 10,000, and half of them are not wearing armor and have inscriptions on their faces.

There are also engravings on the body.

Anyone with a little common sense will know that these people are exiled, and it makes sense to exile prisoners to the border to build a defensive line.

Xia Li saw that the King of Xiyue was in thought, so he paused slightly, and then continued: "Your Majesty, now, the Daqin defense line is based on maintaining stability and has not been built, but it has been invaded by the Nanyue State many times, causing our army to suffer losses one after another. ”

"The strength of the South Yue Kingdom is more than 10,000 people, and the troops are stationed on the border of the West Yue Kingdom, which can harass our Daqin defense line, and endanger the West Yue Kingdom at any time.

The king of Xiyue fell into deep thought, what the envoys of the Qin State and Tian Guang said were completely two directions, and Tian Guang suggested that they unite with Baiyue to fight against the Qin State, and then attack the Central Plains.

And what Qin envoy Xia Li said was that Qin helped Xiyue become the king of Baiyue.

Let's be honest, which one has the best chance of success?

Of course, it is easier to be the king of Baiyue, and at this time, there is a huge problem that must be solved in front of the Xiyue Kingdom.

Not to mention whether to unite with Baiyue to attack the Central Plains, the key is that at this time, the Qin State built a defense line at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and the South Yue State had already stationed troops.

That is to say, at the junction of the three kingdoms at this time, only the side of the West Yue Kingdom is empty, and either of the two sides is very likely to rush into the hinterland.

Even if the king of Xiyue doesn't do anything now, he must station troops at the junction of the three kingdoms to form a strong situation, otherwise it will be extremely dangerous.

King Xiyue patted his head, ah, my head hurts, my God, this kind of strategic decision-making is too complicated.

Xia Li arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the South Yue Kingdom has repeatedly attacked our Daqin defense line, this is just a good opportunity for the West Yue Kingdom, our army is now unable to hold out, if the two armies start a war, then the strength of the South Yue Kingdom will inevitably be contained in it."

At that time, our Qin army threatened to transfer troops from the country, and Nanyue had to transfer troops again, and at the same time, it would also ask for help like other Baiyue countries.

When the time comes, the South Vietnamese State, which is attacked on both sides, will be defeated in a few days, and other countries will no longer aid them when they see the situation, but will congratulate them like the West Vietnamese State! ”

The King of Xiyue took a deep breath, if Tian Guang's strategy was still imaginative, then the rhetoric of this envoy of the Qin Dynasty was a strategy that could produce immediate results in a short period of time.

Tian Guang just gave the King of Xiyue a big idea, but Xia Li said all the specific details of how to implement it, which made the King of Xiyue feel more real, as if the Kingdom of Nanyue was close at hand.

It's at your fingertips.

It's wonderful.

King Xiyue nodded and said, "Can you sell me this dress you are wearing?" I will exchange the concubine with you, come and come, except for the princess, you can choose anything else, you can take one. ”

The corners of Xia Li's mouth twitched, this king of Xiyue is really funny, he used his concubine to change clothes, he was crazy.

Xia Li had a strange expression and said: "I still have a lot of such silk clothes, if one day the king can dominate Baiyue, Daqin is willing to give a hundred pieces of silk as a gift!" ”

King Xiyue's eyes lit up, okay, he was happy in his heart, he understood that the chivalrous man named Tian Guang was a charlatan, how could the envoy of the Qin Dynasty come to it.

Look at Tian Guang, what else is the unification of the Central Plains, such a non-musical thing, you can tell me, what a big fool, a big liar.

It's still a good envoy of the Qin State, the Qin State didn't want to fight Baiyue at all, they wanted to come to the border to build a defense line, and they were forced to be told by Tian Guang to crusade against Baiyue!

I'll you!

If it was an invasion, then why wasn't there a big army? So why bring a prisoner with a face inscribed? So why build a defensive line?

The Western Yue Kingdom also had the habit of carving inscriptions on the faces of prisoners before exiling them.

"The king, this envoy of the Qin State is reasonable, and the concubine thinks that it is better to give him two handmaidens first and change a few pieces of silk to wear?" Princess Xiyue said.

"Hey, you, you're going to pick it quickly, and then send me the clothes after you've picked them, and we'll hand them over to someone and deliver them with the other!" King Xiyue said.

Xia Li said helplessly: "Your Majesty, how do you deal with the affairs of Nanyue?" When does the king plan to send troops? ”

The king of Xiyue laughed loudly and said: "I will think about this matter, and I will give you an answer after fifteen days, then you should choose first!" ”

The king of Xiyue saw that he did not choose, and when he saw that someone went to the set, he grabbed two young beautiful girls at hand.

Xia Li was stunned, so he hurriedly chose two, and promised to give them twenty pieces of silk in exchange for three days.

The king of Xiyue kept an eye on it, he did not directly promise when Xia Li would send troops, and was ready to observe the situation again.

In addition, in the afternoon of the same day, he received a call for help from the South Vietnamese Kingdom, and the Western Vietnamese Kingdom agreed.

At that place at the junction of the three kingdoms, he had to send troops over anyway, and then he sent two thousand soldiers, a little little, but it was a symbolic meaning.

King Xiyue's heart was already biased towards Xia Li's side, but he just wanted to see how far the situation could develop in another ten days and half a month.

Xia Li left the palace of Xiyue Kingdom, returned to the military camp of Daqin, and sent people back to China, bought a batch of silk, and prepared to trade with the King of Xiyue.

When Xia Li was in the Xiyue Palace, if he really destroyed the country, there was actually a very simple way, just slap them to death.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xia Li is still ready to use some more primitive methods and be a little more down-to-earth.

So I thought of a way to make a detour.

I hope it succeeds, but if I fail, it will be embarrassing for me.

Xia Li was waiting in the barracks, there was some dampness here, and it was very uncomfortable to live in the tent, and not far away was the camp tent of the South Vietnamese State, where the generals were in a stalemate.

Xia Li's side hid his strength, they were all wearing well-armored armor, and Xia Li hid all these things in order to avoid a crushing battle.

This was done in order to create a false impression for South Vietnam, making them think that they were on a par with the soldiers of Great Qin, half a catty and eight taels, and only needed a little help to eliminate Great Qin.

But if it is directly crushed by tricks, under huge pressure, once these countries form an alliance, it will be very troublesome for Great Qin.

After all, if they form an alliance and occupy the advantage of the terrain, they will have more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, and it will be very tricky to fight.

At that time, I'm afraid it won't be able to reverse the trick.

After Xia Li waited in the barracks for a while, Concubine Yan also came back, Xia Li arranged a small task for her, and she was very happy when she came back, and it was very successful.

Xia Li was lying on the grass, at this time, he only needed to wait quietly, and the first step of all plans had to wait until the Xiyue Kingdom began to act.

But presumably the king of Xiyue will not let Xia Li wait too long, the benefits in front of him, why not, there is no reason not to, the entire Nanyue country is in front of them.

Three days later, Xia Li and the king of Nanyue exchanged silk, and then exchanged for two beautiful maidservants.

Xia Li let them go and let them go home.

Concubine Yan smiled and said, "Mr. has rarely made a loss-making deal. ”

Xia Li spread his hands: "It's okay, I'm not bad for money, and I can make more money right away, I didn't lose it." ”

The king of Xiyue was very happy after getting the silk, put on new clothes with his concubines, laughed, and then sent troops to the junction of the three kingdoms, which was also regarded as answering the call for help from the Nanyue Kingdom.

Four days later, King Yue, the rescuer of the Xiyue Kingdom, was very happy after getting the silk, put on new clothes with his concubines, laughed, and then sent troops to the junction of the three kingdoms, which was also regarded as responding to the cry for help from the Nanyue Kingdom.

After four days, the king of Xiyue was glad to get the silk, put on new clothes with his concubines, laughed, and then sent his troops to the junction of the three kingdoms
