Lu Yan thought for a while and said: "Whether everyone in the world believes it or not, we still have to do what we should do. Make a statement that the Wancheng massacre was done by Bai Yifei and has nothing to do with my Qin country. Let General Mengwu withdraw from Nanyang slowly.
Xiong Han, King of Chu, is very ambitious at this time. He has no intention of rescuing the drunkard in Korea. We will give up Nanyang. I don’t believe he won’t be tempted."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, "Well, Xiong Han is not a peaceful person. Once the Chu State launches troops against South Korea, the fragile trust between the six countries in the world will be destroyed. All the four princes of the Warring States Period have also died.
In this world, no one can join forces to resist Qin."
"The king has seen clearly that the White Armored Army has been completely wiped out. South Korea has almost no power to fight back against the Chu State. Under the desperation, South Korea will still seek Qin's head. Let Xiong Han get away with this infamy.
Carry it."
"South Korea is already a piece of cake. It's all in my hands whether to take it or not. It's too late for Xiong Han to send troops at this time, but he still doesn't know the time and is greedy for small profits. This person is nothing more than that, and there is nothing to worry about." Ying Han said.
Zheng Su stopped worrying about the affairs in South Korea and asked instead: "Sir, Lian Po has been holding Yang Duan and his army at bay for three months. The two sides have fought with each other winning or losing. I wonder if you have any good strategies to defeat Lian Po?"
"Sun Tzu said: When it comes to using military force, the whole country is the first, and the destruction of the country is the second. The first is to attack the enemy with troops, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city.
Lian Po is mature and prudent, and he is also good at defense. General Duan He cannot attack for a long time. However, the enemy and we have a total of more than 300,000 people fighting in Puyang. How can the national strength of Wei be compared with our Qin? There must be someone in the country who is stupid and takes action."
Hearing what Lu Yan said, Ying Zheng quickly reacted, "Sir, do you want the Wei State to change its generals just like Zhao Guo was replaced by Zhao Kuo? As far as I know, the person in charge of the Wei State now, the Empress Dowager Leling, is strong and wise.
I’m afraid I won’t fall into this plan.”
Lu Yan smiled and said confidently: "When I was still in Daze Mountain, the king asked me to quickly support Pu Yang. Lu Yan transferred all the snare masters to Wei State. In addition to dealing with the Mo family's group of powerful martial arts
The ranger also has other agendas."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Lu Yan handed over a volume of information, "Your Majesty, this is the current price of salt and iron in Wei, as well as the whereabouts of the flow of materials collected by the net."
Ying Zheng took the scroll and read it carefully. He clasped his hands behind his back and looked up to the sky with a smile: "Hahaha, at this time when the country is in crisis and the building is about to collapse, there are still people in the Wei Kingdom who are struggling to make a fortune. The country is like this, so why worry about it being destroyed?
?!"
"Yes, there are many corrupt and greedy nobles in various countries, and there are also many scoundrels in the court. Intelligence shows that the person standing behind these merchants in Wei who are hoarding copper and iron and inflating prices is Lord Anling."
Ying Zheng asked with some confusion: "Mr. Anling? What ability does this man have that he dares to harm his mother country at this time?"
Lu Yan explained to him: "Jun Anling is the agent of the Iron Blood Alliance, the most powerful commercial organization in the seven countries, in the Wei State. With the current situation of the Wei State, all military supplies are extremely dependent on merchants from various countries.
Send it to the country, Wei will not dare to offend the Iron Blood Alliance."
"Hmph! The emperor allowed the merchants to cause harm to the country, but the majestic head of the country did not dare to impose sanctions. It is really a big joke to the world."
For Ying Zheng, if there was such a lord or such a business organization in the Qin State, he would have destroyed it at all costs and would not have given him any chance to become bigger in the country. There are actually other countries in the country.
This kind of organization and this kind of thing made him laugh endlessly.
After laughing for a while, he suppressed his smile, turned cold, and said, "Mr. Anling is the agent of the Iron-Blooded Alliance in Wei, which means that the Iron-Blooded Alliance has agents in the seven countries, including our Qin Kingdom."
?”
Lu Yan nodded solemnly and replied: "Yes, the Iron Blood Alliance also has an agent from the Qin State, but this person's traces are well hidden, and the net has not found the exact suspect through clues."
Ying Zheng immediately raised his sword eyebrows and was very cautious, "Sir, you must attach great importance to this matter and dig three feet into the ground to dig out these people. The country that I will build in the future will not have the soil for these dark rats to survive.
.”
"Your Majesty, the economy is the country's major plan. We must not allow a group of unknown people with evil intentions to maintain such a significant influence on the world's commerce. Lu Yan will definitely destroy the Iron Blood Alliance."
"Okay, sir, I can rest assured that my husband is here for this matter. However, what is the connection between Lord Anling and the Iron Blood Alliance and my husband's request for Wei to change generals?"
Lu Yan spoke his thoughts unhurriedly, "At a time when the world is in four wars, the only country that has the spare capacity to export copper and iron to other countries is the State of Qi. Although the State of Qi is openly in an alliance with Qin, the copper and iron will not flow into it.
Wei Guo, but naturally there are still a lot of transactions secretly.
Our Qin State can also purchase copper and iron from Qi State, promising a high price. Through the channel of the Iron Blood Alliance, the high price copper and iron our Qin State wants will affect the Wei State market. A greedy person like Anling Lord will definitely ask Wei State for
Price increase.
It is impossible for the Empress Dowager Leling to afford this price. She must either deduct the copper and iron from the front line and force Lian Po to fight quickly; or make a desperate effort to completely eradicate Lord Anling, which will inevitably cause great turmoil in the country. In either case, our army only needs to capture
If we seize the opportunity, the Wei army can decide in one battle."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately applauded and shouted: "Cai! Sir, he has a clever plan and uses the enemy to work for himself. This plan is very good."
"Your Majesty, you praise me."
"The plan should be launched immediately. I will send a message to Yang Duanhe immediately, asking him to pay close attention to the situation of Lian Po's army. Sir, I will leave it to you to guide the Iron Blood Alliance to raise the price of copper and iron in Wei."
Lu Yan raised his hand and accepted the order, "No."
…
A few days later, the Wei-Qi border checkpoint
A large convoy from Qi State stretched out, and the cars were packed with copper and iron shipped from Qi State to be sold in Wei State.
The border guard glanced twice with sinister eyes, checked the quality of the copper and iron, and said to the person in charge of the caravan: "We will extract 60% and send the remaining 40% to the beam."
The caravan leader was stunned: "Ah? General, didn't you only get 50% before?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The guard held down the sword at his waist and said contemptuously: "Huh, don't ask if you shouldn't ask. If you take 60%, I'll give it to you, otherwise
You can go back and forth wherever you go."
The caravan leader quickly made a mental calculation. Now that the price of copper and iron has risen again, those who pass the test will take 60% of the original price, and he will sell it in Daliang at a higher price of 40%. The profit is still a little more than before.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you 60%, General."
When the guard heard this, he smiled happily and patted the leader on the shoulder, as if the two brothers were good friends, "Haha, you guys are wise, let's make money together. Hahaha~"
The leader of the caravan quickly bowed his head and presented a small bag, "Yes, yes, it's a pleasure to work with you! These are my little thoughts, and I will make some wine for you, sir."
"Hahaha, you're welcome. Come on, brothers, the manager wants to buy us all a drink. Everyone has something to drink."
The guard general shouted loudly and called to the brothers stationed there, not caring at all that the leader's face was as pale as earth.
Late at night, 60% of the cargo of this caravan was quietly transported and sent to Wei State by other means. Only 40% of the copper and iron that was claimed to be shipped from Qi State flowed into the Wei State market normally.
The guard who was arrogant during the day looked at the golden-armored masked figure in the shadow, bowed his head and said, "Sir, this is the first batch of this month. Judging from the transport vehicles in the previous two months, it looks like this
There are seventeen or eight more people in the convoy."
The voice under the mask of the golden-armored warrior was mixed with the echo of metal, which seemed a bit strange, "You have done a good job. You have made a lot of profits for your Majesty in the past two months. This is specially given to you by your Majesty, but
Don’t let him down.”
This is……!
The martial arts of the Iron Blood Alliance!
The guard looked at the roll of paper handed to him by the golden-armored warrior with surprise on his face, and immediately recognized that it was a set of superb sword skills.
He quietly glanced at the precious sword behind the golden-armored warrior, then quickly buried his head and shouted: "I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
"Well~ the benefits of doing things for your Majesty are indispensable to you."
"How dare you...ah?"
The guard held his face and kept a mean smile. He raised his head but didn't know when the golden armored warrior had disappeared.
Such terrifying martial arts. If he wanted to kill himself, wouldn't he die silently?
The guard secretly swallowed his saliva, and his loyalty to Lord Anling and the Iron Blood Alliance skyrocketed.
…
With the arrival of a new month, not only the quantity of copper and iron shipped from Qi State suddenly dropped, but the price actually increased. The Wei State treasury, which was already unable to make ends meet, was really running out of money.
Since the start of the war, Empress Dowager Leling, who had been working tirelessly every day and personally involved in everything, of course received the news as soon as possible.
"Danglang~"
The incense in the Queen Mother's palace was beaten to the ground, and the haggard old face of Queen Mother Leling and her bright eyes exuded a biting light.
Her body in red clothes was undulating violently, "I, I have never seen such a shameless person!
"The evidence for An Lingjun's crime is conclusive. When you rush into the mansion, don't listen to any of his sophistry. No one will be left behind. As for the followers, read out the king's edict. Those who surrender will be spared death." Empress Dowager Leling looked at the generals in front of her.
, he asked with all his heart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't worry, Her Majesty, we will live up to your trust."
"The Great Wei is victorious! The Great Wei is victorious!"
The old Queen Mother was still worried, so she grabbed a few people's hands and said, "Everyone, the survival of Wei lies in your hands. Please!"
Several generals looked at each other and clasped their fists, "For the sake of Wei, we will win this battle. Don't worry, Queen Mother."
"For the sake of Wei, this battle must be won."
Empress Dowager Leling acted resolutely, from receiving the news to making up her mind and preparing for action in just one day.
And Lord Anling, who had made a lot of money thanks to the great war between Qin and Wei, was lying in the mountains of gold and silver, roaming freely.
"Your Majesty, according to previous calculations, Wei Zeng's treasury has reached its bottom. In order not to be the king of subjugation, he must have asked to come to you immediately." The head of the Anling Lord's Mansion said with a flattering look.
With.
"Well~ Wei Zeng is a man who has no ability in his mind, is cowardly and afraid of trouble, and sometimes behaves a bit ambitious and unworthy of the climate. Oops, the King of Wei begged me personally, do you think I should give you some charity~ ah? Ha?
Haha~"
An Lingjun looked at the additional numbers in his account book with a look of obsession, pinched his mustache, and laughed at Wei Wangzeng wantonly.
The housekeeper immediately continued to lick: "Hey, if you want to give it to me, please give it to me. If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me~"
An Lingjun pretended to be displeased, "Hey~ what are you talking about? He is the king and I am the minister, so I still have to give him face. Well...if he begs me, I will give him copper and iron..."
The housekeeper, who had known his master's temperament for a long time, cooperated with the performance and exclaimed: "Ah, Your Majesty, how much do you want to give?"
"One pound! Hahaha~"
An Lingjun stretched out a finger and laughed so hard that he almost lost his breath.
