Chapter 163: Involution
"What price do we have to pay?" King Wei and King Han asked.
The two knew that it was impossible for Zhao Guoping to help them train cavalry for no reason, but they were willing to pay a big price.
Because, the cavalry is really strong!
On the other hand, although they have stirrups and saddles, it still takes a long time to form cavalry, and there will be a big gap between their strength and the cavalry of Zhao State.
In this case, it is better to spend some price and let Zhao help them train cavalry.
"I need the training methods of Wei Wushu and Han Crossbowmen, including the skills of building crossbow machines." Zhao Kuo said.
Half of the ability of South Korea's strong crossbowmen is on the crossbow body.
King Wei and King Han glanced at each other, King Wei sighed and said: "The widow does not hide from King Zhao, even if the widow gives the training method of Wei Wushu to Zhao State, it is impossible for Zhao State to train the real Wei Wushu, because even we can't train it now." ”
The Army Soul Legion was born with the prosperity of the country, and withered with the decline of the country.
When the Wei State was at its strongest, there were 50,000 Wei soldiers, 10,000 army soul legions, and 40,000 reserve legions, which pressed all sides to surrender.
After the Battle of Guiling, out of 50,000 Wei soldiers, only 6,000 remained.
After the Battle of Yin Que, the last 6,000 Wei soldiers were slaughtered by Bai Qi.
The current Wei Wushu is just a Wei Wushu who has not yet taken shape, and the Wei State has tried every means to restore the strength of Wei Wushu, but it has not succeeded.
Zhao Kuo naturally knew this, and he wanted the training methods of Wei Wushu and strong crossbowmen, not to establish Wei Wushu and strong crossbowmen in Zhao State, but to make a reference.
"As long as there are all the manuscripts of Wu Zi, Han Zhaohou, and Shen Buxian, even if you can't train it, this king won't blame Wei and Korea." Zhao Kuo said.
"Regardless of whether these materials are useful or not, whether they can be trained in the end, Zhao Guo will help us train cavalry?" King Wei asked.
"Not bad." Zhao Kuo nodded.
"Well, after the widow goes back, he will send all of Wu Zi's manuscripts, including all the attempts of my Wei State over the years, to Zhao State." King Wei immediately agreed.
Wei Wushu's training method is at most to train an elite infantry, which is perfect for a cavalry corps.
Moreover, Zhao Guo personally sent people to help them train, they only needed to throw the manuscripts and materials to Zhao Guo, and it had nothing to do with them whether they were trained or not.
"It's the same in Korea, including the production technology of the crossbow machine." Han Wang also said.
Half of the strength of the strong crossbowmen is on the crossbow machine, and the key to the crossbow machine lies in the iron of Nanyang.
In terms of the technology of building crossbows alone, although South Korea is stronger than the six countries, it is also limited, even if it is handed over to Zhao Guo, there is nothing.
"Since the two kings are so happy, then we will sign an alliance without further ado." Zhao Kuo said.
"Okay." King Wei and King Han nodded.
Soon, the covenant was drawn up:
1. The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han are about allies, with Zhao as the leader of the alliance, and the three kingdoms are forbidden to attack each other. If any country sends troops to attack the other country, the other two countries must send troops to help, and if any country is attacked by other countries, the other two countries must help defend it.
2. Tariffs will be abolished at the border gates of the three countries and merchants will be allowed to circulate freely.
3. The garrisons at the border passes of the three countries will be reduced by half.
Fourth, Wei sent Xinling Jun Wei Wuji to Zhao as a hostage, and Han sent his son Han Fei to Zhao as a hostage.
5. Zhao provided Wei and Korea with Quyuan plough and waterwheel technology, and in the next five years, 50% of the excess grain production of the two countries will go to Zhao, and 10,000 catties of pig iron will be provided to Zhao every year.
6. Zhao helped Wei and Korea to form a cavalry corps of no less than 5,000 people, and Wei gave Zhao the training methods of Wei Wushu, and Korea handed over the training methods of strong crossbow soldiers and the production technology of crossbow machines to Zhao State.
7. If one of them violates the covenant, the other two will expel him.
After seeing that there was no objection, the three of them quickly signed their names and pressed their fingerprints.
"Hahaha, King Zhao is really a cheerful person." The covenant was in triplicate, and the king of Wei took the covenant that belonged to the Wei state and said happily.
On the way they came, they still had a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhao Guo in their hearts, and now they have all disappeared.
This time the alliance, Wei and Korea got too much!
It's more than they can imagine.
If what Zhao Kuo said about the quyuan plow and the waterwheel are true, then the next ten years will be the fastest developing decade for the two countries.
"The Sword Comes"
And they will also be recorded in the annals of history as Ming Jun for future generations to admire!
"Cooperate with each other, and I hope that Wei and Korea will not be like this time in the future, otherwise this king will not be so easy to talk at that time." Zhao Kuo said with a smile, half threatening, half joking.
"King Zhao rest assured, in the future, my Wei State will definitely be the only one who will look forward to Zhao Guo." King Wei said very solemnly.
But he added a sentence in his heart: Before the strength of my Wei State surpassed that of Zhao State.
"Yes, I'm the same in Korea." South Korea also said.
"I don't know which general King Zhao plans to let help me train cavalry in Wei?" King Wei asked a little impatiently.
Zhao Kuo glanced back, there were not many generals in Zhao who could train cavalry, except for Zhao Kuo, only Li Mu, Yan Ju, Yan Zhou, Sima Shang, Jia Yan, and Le Cheng.
Yan Zhou and Pang Xuan went to attack Taoyi, Sima Shang returned to Northern Xinjiang to guard the Great Wall after the first battle of Daijun, and Li Mu was about to return to Northern Xinjiang.
Yan Ju wants to command Zhao Feiqi.
In this way, only Jia Yan and Le Cheng are left.
"In this way, this king asked General Lecheng to help Wei train cavalry, and General Jia Yan to help Korea train cavalry. How is it? Zhao Kuo said.
"Thank you, King Zhao." King Wei bowed, and then looked at the generals behind Zhao Kuo, "I don't know which one is General Lecheng?" ”
"The last will be." Lecheng said with his fists clenched.
"The widow is willing to seal the city of Guiling to General Lecheng as the general's Tang Muyi." King Wei walked over, patted Le Cheng on the shoulder, and courted him.
"This old guy's strength is not good, but he has a set of winning people's hearts." Zhao Kuo scolded in his heart.
Lecheng did not have a fief in Zhao State, and the King of Wei gave Lecheng a city when he came up, so it seemed that Zhao Kuo was unkind.
Le Cheng didn't speak, but looked at Zhao Kuo, which made King Wei a little embarrassed.
"Since it's King Wei's kindness, let's accept it." Zhao Kuo said.
"The last general, thank you, the king, King Wei." Le Cheng arched his hand and said.
On the other hand, King Han also secretly scolded King Wei in his heart for having nothing to do, and he didn't need to be rewarded, but now that Wei has been rewarded, South Korea can only be rewarded, and the sealed city cannot be worse than Guiling.
"Since this is the case, the widow will seal the city of Chenggao to General Jia Yan as Tang Muyi." Han Wang said.
Seeing that Zhao Kuo agreed, Jia Yan also clenched his fists and said, "The last general thanks the king, King Han." ”
"This is involution." Seeing that King Han sealed Cheng Gao to Jia Yan, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh.
It was originally an equal exchange, and neither country needed to be rewarded, and in order to win the favor of Lecheng, the King of Wei made a good idea to give Guiling to Lecheng, and the King of Han had no choice but to follow.
Well, now that the two countries have nothing to gain in the end, they have lost the taxes of the two cities for the next few years.
King Wei and King Han stayed in Yecheng for three days, talked a lot with Zhao Kuo, and did not leave until the third day.
Zhao Kuo is still sending each other for ten miles.
Lecheng and Jia Yan didn't follow, Zhao Kuo asked them to rest for a while and go back in a month.
As for Wei Wuji, he returned to Daliang with King Wei, and the next time he came, he would drag his family with him......
