Kuai Liang stayed in Moling County for five days, during which he was kindly received at the beginning, and he was placed in an official post house with a good room, and no one else came to take care of him after that.

On the sixth day, Sun Mu personally visited Kuai Liang to inquire about the purpose of Kuailiang's trip.

Kuai Liang pretended not to know the truth, and honestly explained his intentions clearly, without any exaggeration, because Xun Yu had already guessed that there would be such a situation before, so this time the task has changed, and there is no hope for buying grain.

For a strategist of Sun Mu's level, only to say it honestly, all kinds of exaggerations are useless.

When Sun Mu learned of Kuai Liang's intention, he said with a difficult face: "My Wu country has been fighting for many years, and a large amount of land is in the hands of the scholars, I'm afraid I can't get enough food, and now the soldiers of the three armies can only drink porridge every day......

That miserable appearance, if it weren't for Kuai Liang, he would have known that the other party was lying, and he would have really been sympathetic, but now, he can only pretend to be sympathetic.

And Kuai Liang had no choice but to leave, and after sending Kuai Liang away, Sun Mu frowned and looked at Kuai Liang's back and didn't understand what the other party meant.

After the success of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce in Shinye County, the 43,000 stone grain purchased by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce was transported into the Hanjin Port by water.

At the same time, after Kuai Liang reported the news, Qin Tian and Xun Yu showed a smile in the imperial study.

After Zhenguo experienced the battle of Jingzhou, it will inevitably fall into a long period of time of recuperation and recuperation, during this time, in addition to farming, the main task is Yizhou, in addition to Yizhou, it is to carry out a series of contacts with the surrounding countries of Zhenguo.

And the powerful state of Wu bore the brunt, followed by the state of Chu, and then the state of Yue in Yizhou.

After Yueguo is the hinterland of Yizhou, where the mountain roads are extremely rugged, and the news obtained from Yueguo is that Yizhou still belongs to the seventeen countries in the mutual conquest, and there is no power to unify the whole state.

Therefore, when the shadow attack covered the whole country of Wu, Qin Tian ordered to start learning some news about the government and the opposition of Wu, and entrusted Fei Lang to ask him how he felt, so he borrowed from Lu Xun, Xun Yu and others to buy grain, and prepared to plant a seed.

After receiving the news, a golden order was immediately issued, and the grain at the port of Hanjin was immediately divided into two parts, one of which was 13,000 koku, and the other part was 20,000 koku.

A small part of it was transported to Chaisang Jiujiang Port, as for the envoy who sent Wu State again, what made Qin Tian quite a headache was that Zimo was gone, Chen Zhen was sent by himself to do internal annihilation, Ban Chao was responsible for contacting Yue Guo, and when he finally went to court, Pang Quan volunteered to stand up and take this order.

Because he had to confront Sun Mu this time, it was very likely that he would not be able to keep up with the poor wisdom, so he could only go to Pang Quan.

After the two arrived at Jiujiang Port respectively, they met with the hosts Fei Lang and Zimo and then went to Wuguo.

This time, the task was to use 13,000 stone grain to deceive 50,000 stone grain and buy a seed, so Pang Quan specially kept a drop of water for two days, specifically to trap Xiang Ba and Sun Mu.

Pang Quan and the others had not yet entered the city, and the shadow raiders in the city had revealed Pang Quan's actions in advance, and Pang Quan's auxiliary soldiers who transported grain and grass were also hungry for a day and a night, and when they walked listlessly in front of Moling City, Xiang Ba, Sun Mu, Shi Tian, Guan Luo and other important ministers came to the city gate to wait.

This time was different from the last time, Kuai Liang came to Moling alone with dozens of armor soldiers, without prior notice, this time Qin Tian sent a notice in advance and spread the news of the shadow attack.

Sun Mu couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

When Xiang Baqi Yu Xuanang sat on the horse, he was a little impatient, while Sun Mu was kneading his beard, wondering in his heart what kind of famous Zhenguo was this time.

However, when they saw a group of weak auxiliary soldiers and a disparate Pang Quan, they were all surprised.

And Pang Quan and the others seemed to see them, their spirits were a little excited, they increased their speed a little, and came to Xiang Ba, Pang Quan suddenly turned over the horse, due to the lack of strength, he fell down slightly embarrassed, Xiang Ba and others had to get off the horse one after another, and after Pang Quan floated up.

Pang Quan weakly took out a letter from his bosom, and said to Xiang Ba in a weak tone: "After the envoy of Zhenguo returned to Zhenguo last time, I learned that Wu Guo was in a moment of crisis at the moment, and the soldiers used gruel to satisfy their hunger every day, so I specially asked me to transport all the remaining 13,000 stones of grain and grass in the treasury!" It should be able to resist some of the times, this is a letter from the king. ”

Xiang Ba looked at Pang Quan's stomach croaking, listening to it in a daze, and after opening the letter, he began to read it.

And Sun Mu's face did change, he knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the truth from the false, the thousands of auxiliary soldiers led by Pang Quan were obviously hungry for a while, and their understanding of a few words was limited, but Sun Mu didn't believe it anyway, and the whole country of Zhen would go to this point.

After Xiang Ba finished reading it, his face was ugly, he looked at Sun Mu with anger on his face, shook the bamboo slip in his hand, and asked, "You said it last time?" ”

Sun Mu's face remained unchanged, and he arched his hand and said: "The minister thinks that the top priority is to let the Pang envoy and the soldiers have a meal, and some things will be talked about later." ”

Xiang Ba hurriedly said to Pang Quan: "Several, let's eat and drink first, you are easy to faint from hunger." ”

Pang Quan's face changed and said: "This is not good, we can save a little is a little, we can't drink the soldiers to grab food." ”

Xiang Ba said loudly with a displeased face: "Don't underestimate my Wu country, my Wu country still has this bit of food, and I only ...... it for some reason last time" Speaking of this, he glared at Sun Mu viciously.

It's good to say it, Pang Quan and the others agreed.

When Sun Mu saw Pang Quan and the others gobbling up, he almost believed that the other party was telling the truth, and almost believed that the other party was sincerely sending food, but he still maintained enough vigilance.

In the martial arts field, Xiang Ba asked Sun Mu why he said that Wu Guo was so poor, and Sun Mu said bitterly that there was intrigue between some countries, and he had to guard against it, and said a lot of truths, weakening Zhenguo and so on.

"Zhenguo's goal is just to divide Jingzhou, and he let those two people go for this, which is enough to show that the other party has no ambitions, and he is a good man with affection and righteousness! How can you think so. ”

Xiang Ba now admires Qin Tian who he has never met, and this time he sent grain and grass thousands of miles, which made Xiang Ba full of good feelings towards Qin Tian.

When Pang Quan met Xiang Ba again after a full meal, Xiang Ba looked at Pang Quan's slightly bulging belly and the oil stains that had not been wiped clean from the corners of his mouth, and then said: "The foreign envoy sent grain thousands of miles is enough to show the friendship of Zhenguo to my Wu country, and I will let people prepare 30,000 stones of grain and grass to relieve Zhenguo's food shortage crisis." ”

Pang Quan was stunned at first, and then looked at Sun Mu with a hint of hesitation and said, "Please forgive the foreign minister's rudeness, Wu Guo doesn't seem to be what the noble [***] master said, is it difficult...... Is the military advisor lying to me Zhenguo? ”

Sun Mu's face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, no matter whether the other party was true or not, he still couldn't hold back when his face was exposed.

When Pang Quan saw it, he said with an angry expression: "How can Wu Guo be like this! If you don't sell grain, you don't sell grain, why do you want to lie to me Zhenguo, in order to squeeze out this thirteen,000 stone of grain and grass, the king eats coarse tea and light rice every day and only has two meals, he is only seventeen years old! It's developing! ”

"I regard the surrounding countries as friends, and I have no intention of harming others, but now I am deceived by you Wu Guo and the whole country like fools, and even my income this month has been halved!"

"This 30,000 stone grain, I can't afford it! The way back is when I came on this trip. ”

Pang Quan's words were touching and heartfelt, echoing throughout the hall, and even Sun Mu couldn't help but ask if he was really worried.

Xiang Ba's face was ugly, his face was cold, like ice, and he said, "Come on, send Sun Mu into the dungeon!" ”

Just when Sun Mu was hesitant and doubted whether Zhen Guo wanted to get rid of him, and it would be much easier for Zhen Guo to invade Wu State in the future, a voice hurriedly organized Xiang Ba.

"Wait." Pang Quan hurriedly stopped and said to Xiang Ba: "Lord Sun Mu, you are the minister of the humerus of the Wu Kingdom, you must not hurt the relationship between your lord and minister because of these trivial things, I will go back to Zhenguo, I hope that the friendship between the two countries can trust each other after this time." ”

Sun Mu was once again embarrassed and ashamed by his filthy heart.

Xiang Ba also knew that Wu Guo could not do without Sun Mu, and said at the moment: "If the foreign envoy accepts these 30,000 stone grain, no, 50,000 stone grain, I will release Sun Mu." ”

After Pang Quan's face changed for a long time, he sighed and shook his head and refused: "If the monarch really wants to help me Zhenguo, let's sell a little, but this time I came to deliver grain, and the grain I didn't bring with me was not on credit, and I will definitely return it after I go back." ”

Xiang Ba believed in Zhenguo very much, and readily agreed.

When Pang Quan left, Sun Mu easily found out that something was wrong when he calmed down again, and he became more and more vigilant about Zhenguo in his heart, and he was able to grasp his surname and play with him Sun Mu in applause, and there must be many top talents to give advice to him.

Sun Mu naturally wouldn't be bored to say that Zhenguo would not repay the money or anything like that, I believe that Zhenguo has not reached that point in a short time.

After a dozen days, after the horseshoe gold of 50,000 stone grains and grass was presented, Xiang Ba trusted Zhenguo a little more, and Sun Mu smiled bitterly.

This is the so-called discord between the monarch and the minister, and the result will inevitably be destruction, so Sun Mu is very wise and began to echo Xiang Ba's hobby.

After Zhenguo got 83,000 stones of grain and grass, the crisis of grain and grass was immediately greatly reduced, and the people's and army's hearts quickly stabilized.

This move plays a very big role, and don't underestimate any seemingly useless chess piece in the chess game of the world.

At the same time, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce bought a medium-sized shop in Runan County, and after purchasing some grain with a low price in a decent manner, looking at the crimson numbers on the ledger, the fire finally began to carry out the first transaction.

First of all, it is natural to build momentum, since Zhenguo needs to have another face, naturally he can't expose the background of the Chamber of Commerce at will, so he needs a scholar to build momentum.

The next morning, a scholar appeared in front of the palace and threatened to save the kingdom from its current disadvantage.

Yunguo is full of talents, rich treasury resources, and even more Mingjun, not to mention the rapid decline in the reputation of the imperial country, those scholars who love fame have left through this interface.

First of all, the morale of the imperial kingdom plummeted by several levels, and then the talents were centrifuged, and the officials of the entire imperial court plummeted, and a few people in the imperial kingdom only found themselves vulnerable when they arrived on the battlefield, and now what is urgently needed is naturally someone to give advice.

The appearance of this gentleman, the forbidden army guarding the palace naturally did not dare to stop it, and hurriedly sent someone to inform the monarch.

When the new imperial monarch Yuan Chen personally led the scholar to the imperial study, he gently asked if there was any way to defeat the enemy.

But the scholar said, "We need ten thousand gold, and we need a brave general." ”

Yuan Chen didn't say a word about taking 10,000 gold and introducing a brave general, and the scholar said: "It will be decided when it is clear." Then he vanished.

Early the next morning, when he saw that brave general, leading a well-equipped army, to deliver the good news of breaking through twelve counties and one city overnight, the government and the opposition shook.

That brave general was Niu Roar, the current general of the Imperial Kingdom, when he told that the soldier had exchanged 10,000 gold for 4,000 blood trough knives, and six taels of catapults that had been rented overnight.

That scholar naturally pretended to be himself, and the principle of the blood groove knife was no different from that of the Xia Dynasty, and it had a fatal flaw.

When Yuan Chen learned about it, he immediately whispered why Niu Roar didn't rob the catapult.

The bull roared and said: "I can't beat it, the other party has five thousand well-equipped cavalry, and a general with a hook and sickle." ”

Yuan Chen suddenly asked, "I also have a catapult in the Imperial Kingdom." ”

Niu Roar shook his head and said, "The other party seems to have been improved, with a range of eight hundred meters!" ”

Yuan Chen nodded: "Why don't you rent for a while, if I knew earlier, I would have been ready to rent it for 3 days, or buy it, and directly destroy the Yun Kingdom." ”

Niu Roar said with an embarrassed face: "He said, renting one, eight hours, costs a thousand gold." ”

"......" Yuan Chen just wanted to say why he didn't rob it, but he still endured it, and after asking for the contact information, he sent Niu Roar and sent someone to accept the beaten territory, and by the way, let people contact Liwei.

The two of them met and discussed and prepared to find this Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, when they saw the fire, Yuan Chen looked like this, and said with a smile: "Welcome to the two monarchs, under the fire, the leader of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, I don't know if the two are here to buy things?" ”

Yuan Chen didn't smile at all and said, "I don't know what you sell here?" ”

Pear Wei watched from the sidelines and did not speak.

He said with a smile: "From siege to weapons, from living people to mounts, we have everything that can be beneficial to the battlefield." ”

Pear said with a smile: "You have a top strategist here to sell? ”

Misfire nodded and said, "Yes!" Of course, you can only rent and not sell, you can limit how many cities you can capture, and just give it according to the price of the cities you capture. Theoretically, it is one-tenth of the value of the city as the price, and the labor cost can be waived. ”

Yuan Chen said with great interest: "I don't know how much gold is needed to capture the girder." ”

Huohuo immediately sent someone to count it, and then said: "Daliang City is worth 380,000 horseshoe gold, one-tenth, remove the fraction and count your 30,000 gold, you are the first door-to-door customer of my Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, 8,000 gold is considered a meeting gift, how can you ask for it?" Let me explain in advance, I don't want to bargain, I don't want to bargain with me, a small business, both of you are princes, so you can't bargain with me, a small businessman. ”

30,000 gold in the Central Plains is also a huge amount of money, but it is not as valuable as Jingzhou, after all, the land boundaries are different, and the prices are also different.

Yuan Chen and Li Wei began to discuss after walking away, after all, 30,000 gold is not a small amount, and it also needs to be considered confidently, and finally when Yuan Chen and the two came back, they said with a smile: "Of course, if the two of you can't turn over the funds, you can also pay 20,000 gold in cash, or you can exchange it for food, I believe that the two countries should not owe me this small chamber of commerce on credit." ”

Li Wei asked tentatively: "How does the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce deal with those forces who can't pay the money?" ”

Huohuo still said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter how small the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is, there is still the support of the five major countries behind it, and no one dares to risk destroying the country and dare to owe debts to the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce." ”

Li Wei was first surprised, then suspicious, and said, "I don't know if I can be lucky enough to hear which five countries are?" ”

He said with a smile: "If you want to know about those five countries, you need to pay a little price, after all, those people need to be behind the scenes." ”

Li Yi suddenly thought of so many top talents under Qin Tian, and immediately asked: "I heard that Zhenguo is also one of the customers of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Huohuo nodded without moving and said, "You can't disclose customer information, I said two, do you buy it or not?" ”

Li Wei already had eight layers at the moment, and determined that those people in Zhenguo were hired, and he said without hesitation: "Buy!" We buy Daliang City. ”

Yuan Chen nodded and said, "Yes, 30,000 gold will be sent to you later." ”

Huohuo nodded and said, "I'll contact the strategist first, and I'll send over the plan to conquer Daliang City." ”

After walking out of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, Yuan Chen and Li Wei glanced at each other and said, "Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, unfathomable!" ”

Shocking! Even a strategist can rent it! The two of them had never heard of it, they had never seen it, and the horror in their hearts turned over the river and the sea, brewing endlessly.

Huohuo said to himself: "Let Pang Quan tutor Zhao Kuo to complete this first list, listen to the monarch, this Zhao Kuo is very unreliable." ”

Qin Tian saw that although Zhao Kuo was talking on paper, it was likely that he lacked practical experience, so he specially took advantage of the war between the three countries to let him accumulate experience.

And Zhao Kuo also started his first advice, with Pang Quan by the side, it should not be a big problem, the main force of the other party was transferred to Dongjun, and the pear country was recruited, so the guards of Daliang City were not too powerful.

ps: Ask for a recommendation vote, Ming said that the 10,000 words are updated, and ask for a recommendation vote!! I still owe you thirteen more!! Tears. Tomorrow, the surname will be changed to three more, and it will be reduced to ten more, so that the recommendation vote will be more ferocious.
