"I wonder why Lord Wu'an came to Bashu? Baqing has been doing business for many years and knows a lot about the land of Bashu. If you need it, Lord Wu'an just ask!"
Ba Qing is a smart woman. She knew in her heart that she had Ba Shi as a basis for Ying Gaogao to take a look before, but now this basis has disappeared.
If you want Ying Gao to take a look, you have to give full play to your own advantages, at least let Ying Gao see her strengths. She is an excellent businessman, so she naturally knows that she must let Ying Gao see the value of her existence.
Only in this way can she gain a foothold under Ying Gao's command. Ba Qing knows clearly that as Ying Gao has come to this day, there must be an endless stream of capable people and strangers under his command. Only by showing something different from others can she get Ying Gao's job.
Reuse.
Having lost her husband's family, now she can only rely on Ying Gao. In this era of the Warring States Period, it was extremely cruel to women, even a beautiful woman.
Hearing this, Ying Gao did not hesitate. The reason why he was waiting for Ba Qing had more or less this intention. Now that Ba Qing had brought it up, he would not let it go.
"I originally went south this time to conquer Qiongdu, Dian, Yelang and other countries south of Bashu. I wonder if Madam knows the news here?"
When Ying Gao said these words, Ba Qing was stunned and her red lips slightly opened. She was a little frightened.
Since Ying Gao went south, he had been busy with the Bashu Road in Xianyang, which made her mistakenly believe that the reason why Ying Gao went south was for the Bashu Extreme South Road, or for other things.
However, at this moment, Ying Gao told her bluntly that he led his army south to conquer Qiongdu, Yelang and other countries.
Ambitious and extremely confident.
"General Ying, going south from Bashu is Qiongdu, which is the closest country to us. To the south of Bashu, there is not only Qiongdu, but also Qilan, Dian Kingdom, Kunming, Dianyue, Xi, and Dianmo
, Laoqiu, Luowo, Gouding, Yelang and Fan."
"Although the strength of the south of Bashu is far less than that of the Qin Dynasty, if they unite, they will still be a big trouble. Moreover, the roads in the south of Bashu are difficult to travel, and the climate in the south of Bashu is very different from that of the Central Plains."
.........
Ba Qing talked freely in the shogunate and told Ying Gao all the news she knew. She knew that she was showing her value to Ying Gao, and at this time, he would naturally not hide anything.
After listening to what Ba Qing said, Ying Gao nodded. There was basically no difference between Ba Qing's narrative and the news sent by Jing Yesi.
At this moment, Ying Gao looked at Ba Qing and pondered for a while, then said: "Madam, I am going south this time to conquer the south of Bashu and the extreme south. Madam following me south will not be of much use."
"The strength of a lady lies above that of a merchant. How about going north to Xianyang on your own and going to the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce or the Peacock Chamber of Commerce?"
The arrangement for Ba Qing is a problem. This time Ying Gao went south for the war, and the army was all men, so it was really difficult to arrange Ba Qing.
Strategic resources are tight. This time, the army has just enough supplies to go south. If Ba Qing goes south, he will need a new tent to differentiate between men and women.
However, there are no men or women in the army, only strength. A female class has made no contribution to the Qin Dynasty, so she lives alone in a tent.
At that time, I am afraid that rumors will sweep through the army, which will not be a good thing for either the military morale or Ba Qing.
Ba Qing is good at merchants going north, so I am more suitable for Ba Qing.
It's just that sometimes, ideas and results often run counter to each other. Ying Gao looked solemn and heard Ba Qing whisper, saying.
"I am willing to go south with General Ying. I still have some connections in the south of Bashu. Maybe Ying will be able to use it!"
Ba Qing opened his mouth and gave Ying Gao the most unacceptable reason to refuse. As long as it was for the victory of the war, as long as it was to prevent casualties among the soldiers, there would be no psychological pressure on Ying Gao if he brought Ba Qing with him.
"good!"
Ying Gao nodded and waved towards Tie Ying: "Take your wife down and follow the army southward!"
"At the same time, the three armies were ordered. We can't wait any longer and send troops immediately!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying had experienced this kind of thing countless times and was already used to it.
He just stretched out his hand towards Ba Qing: "Madam, please!"
Tie Ying and Ba Qing left, and Ying Gao set his sights on Fan Zeng: "Sir, let's set off too!"
"promise."
…
Qiongdu.
The capital of Qiongdu is in Yue'an. At this moment, the envoy of the Qin army entered the royal city of Yue'an. Due to the language barrier, Zhang Fen found an interpreter from Jingyesi this time.
"Envoy Zhang, I have submitted my credentials to the Prime Minister of Qiondu. The Prime Minister has already entered the palace. There should be news soon."
In the Guanyi, Zhang Fen and Xu Kui sat opposite each other. At this time, the two of them had a general understanding of the country of Qiongdu.
"It depends on the situation. If there is no news after an hour, we will send someone to urge the Prime Minister. If we can't see King Qiongdu today, we will leave tomorrow."
Zhang Fen looked solemn. He knew in his heart that once the two countries went to war, envoys like them would be in the most dangerous situation.
This kind of danger involves life safety, second only to protons.
"promise."
Nodding, Xu Kui also understood this truth. As a person from Jingyesi, he has been dealing with danger all year round, so he is naturally more sensitive to danger.
"Logically speaking, things above Bashu are over, and General Ying has probably sent out troops..." As a member of Jingyesi, Xu Kui naturally knew roughly the rules of Ying Gao's march.
Moreover, this time going south, I would have swallowed up thousands of miles like a tiger, and it was impossible to stop for a small country like Qiongdu.
"Messenger, my lord is here to invite you!" Shortly after the discussion between the two ended, a voice came from outside the door.
Zhang Fen glanced at Xu Kui and waited for Xu Kui's translation: "It seems that there is something going on. Someone came and said that the Prime Minister of Qiongdu invites you to come over."
"Do you want to agree?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fen nodded and said to Xu Kui: "Promise him that matters here should be dealt with sooner rather than later, otherwise we will not be able to escape."
"promise."
…
Zhang Fen and Xu Kui were somewhat puzzled by the Qiondu Prime Minister's move. Logically speaking, they should have invited him to the palace first.
However, the Prime Minister of Qiongdu was uncharacteristic at this moment. He did not bring Zhang Fen and others into the palace, but instead invited them to visit the palace.
This is weird!
It is a taboo among the taboos for a country's prime minister, such an important minister, to meet in private with envoys from other countries.
Zhang Fen doesn't think anyone who can become a country's prime minister understands this truth.
No one in this world is a fool. It is impossible for a fool to survive in the court, let alone become the prime minister of a country, with one person inferior to ten thousand people.
