Peng Zhong, Wei Jiao and others who were secretly paying attention to Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun were secretly surprised. You must know that just now, Mu Qing and Peng Zhong pretended to be stupid through the banter, which can be said to have eliminated the original tension between the two parties.
Unexpectedly, the tense atmosphere between Qin Fang's guards and Wei Fang Zongwei and others was relieved, but for some reason, the relationship between Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun seemed to have suddenly dropped to the freezing point.
No, Peng Zhong felt clearly that Qin Shaojun was really angry this time - different from the shame and anger when he scolded him just now, this time he was really angry.
Under the secret attention of everyone on the side, Qin Shaojun looked directly at Zhao Hongrun and sarcastically said: "It is really a gadget... Since it is a gadget, I wonder if His Highness Ji Run is willing to part with it? I am willing to use something like this
More gold in exchange." As he spoke, he raised his hands to the left and right sides.
But before the clan guards could secretly praise Qin Shaojun for his wealth, Zhao Hongrun refused calmly and said: "I... am not short of money!"
Zongwei Mu Qing blinked and muttered to himself: Your Highness, we still owe the Ministry of Revenue nearly ten million taels of silver. How can you have the nerve to say that we are not short of money? We are short of money, okay? We are very short of money!
But after carefully observing the expressionless face of His Highness, Mu Qing still did not dare to speak out his true feelings.
Because all the Zongwei know that it is okay to joke with His Highness on weekdays, but if His Highness refuses something with a serious face, they are absolutely not allowed to interrupt.
"Not short of money?" Qin Shaojun was not surprised when he heard Zhao Hongrun's words. After thinking for a while, he said: "In that case, I am willing to trade a city for it."
Zhao Hongrun chuckled when he heard this and asked casually: "Including your capital of Qin?"
Qin Shaojun frowned and thought for a while, then glanced at the ugly telescope, gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty: "Yes! ... Including Xianyang, the capital of our Qin Kingdom."
"Hey hey..."
Peng Zhong and other Qin guards were shocked and looked at Qin Shaojun with horrified eyes, as if they wanted to see if Qin Shaojun had lost his mind.
Wei Jiao and other Zongwei also showed surprised looks, turning their heads frequently to look at the ugly telescope. They really couldn't figure out how this gadget could be worth in exchange for the royal capital of Qin.
However, to the surprise of everyone present, Zhao Hongrun, after taking a deep look at Qin Shaojun, still flatly refused: "However, I am not surprised."
Qin Shaojun narrowed his eyes when he heard this and lowered his voice and said: "Ten cities!"
"No change!"
"Five hundred miles of land!"
"No change!"
When Zhao Hongrun was negotiating with Qin Shaojun, everyone around was stunned. No one could imagine that that inconspicuous gadget was worth such a staggering price for Qin Shaojun.
After a long time, Qin Shaojun let out a long breath and said quietly: "You don't want to give up no matter what?"
Zhao Hongrun grinned, showing his white teeth, and mocked and teased Qin Shaojun in front of him: "In exchange for the entire Qin Kingdom, I can consider it."
"..." Qin Shaojun's face showed traces of anger, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "It seems that it doesn't make sense..."
"If you can't buy it by force, do you have to rob it by force?" Zhao Hongrun raised a somewhat mocking smile at the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "The numbers of each other are about the same. If we really fight, you won't even win... Do you want to give it a try? I suddenly felt,
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to kidnap you to our great Wei Dynasty and ask you to be used as a hostage.”
"How are you sure it wasn't Yu who kidnapped you, Your Highness Ji Run?" Qin Shaojun asked with a sneer.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shaojun's guard chief Peng Zhong chuckled.
Hearing this chuckle, Qin Shaojun turned to look at Peng Zhong angrily, only to see Peng Zhong say seriously: "What your Highness Shaojun said is absolutely true!... Your Highness Ji Run is a great threat to our Great Qin, please be sure to treat
He kidnapped me, Da Qin, and we will fight to the death to block these people for you... Please do it!"
After hearing this, Wei Jiao and other sect guards couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but when they subconsciously put their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists, they strangely discovered that Peng Zhong and other guards had no intention of taking action at all.
, and for some reason, they seemed to be holding back their laughter, and it was very hard to hold it back.
"What's going on?"
Zongwei Zhou Pu and Mu Qing looked at the people on Qin Shaojun's side suspiciously, showing thoughtful expressions.
"Peng Chong!" After a moment of deathly silence, Qin Shaojun, whose face turned red, gritted his teeth and stared at Peng Zhong for more than ten breaths. Then he calmed down the anger in his heart and peered through the barrel of the telescope as if nothing had happened.
Distant battlefield.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and stretched out his hand to block it, but Qin Shaojun, who had already guessed his move, grabbed his arm.
In full view of the public, two people were wrestling.
"Why are you so stingy?...I won't buy it or grab it, and you can't show it to me? Why?"
"Why? Why? This gadget belongs to me!"
"Hmph! Have you finally shown your ugly face?... When you said you were a close friend, I knew that the smile on your face was all fake!... The hypocrisy of the Central Plains nobles!"
"Hypocrisy? Ha! This is self-cultivation! ... We Central Plains people pay attention to welcoming people with a smile, unlike the barbarians in some remote places who only know how to rob, rob, rob!"
"You... weren't your Zhao family once from Longxi? We are further away from the Central Plains than our Qinling Mountains. What right do you have to call us barbarians?"
"I'm sorry, my Zhao family has established a firm presence in the Central Plains hundreds of years ago and has been recognized by all the countries in the Central Plains."
"So you forget where your ancestral home is? Turn your back on your ancestors and forget your roots!"
"Oh, you still know that Longxi is the ancestral home of my Zhao family? In this case, why don't you give Longxi back?"
"Why? Longxi already belongs to me, Da Qin!"
"So I said you all only know how to grab guns and grab... Is that wrong?"
"you……"
"I've already said this word just now, can you change it to a new one?"
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, a war of words ended with Zhao Hongrun's victory and Qin Shaojun's defeat.
Looking at Zhao Hongrun's arrogant and arrogant look, Qin Shaojun clenched his fists tightly, his face turned red, and his forehead began to sweat with anger.
"..."
Glancing at Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun who looked like fighting cocks, Lintao Lord Wei Ji shook his head speechlessly and said lightly: "Your Highness, King Su, the Qin army is about to completely suppress the Jie tribe. After a while, there will be no point in watching the battle.
.”
Since just now, Lintao Lord Wei Ji has simply stopped paying attention to the farce between Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun, and is focusing on looking at the battlefield in the distance, obviously hoping to find something useful from that war.
But then Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun were quarreling so fiercely that Wei Ji couldn't concentrate, so he finally gave a reminder.
After hearing this reminder from Lintao Lord Wei Ji, Zhao Hongrun realized that their group was watching the battle, not arguing with Qin Shaojun, so he reached out to push Qin Shaojun away and stood behind the telescope.
However, Qin Shaojun refused to give in. In the end, the two of them took a step back with a tacit understanding and peered into each other's lenses.
"..."
Watching these two people huddled behind the telescope, Peng Zhong, Wei Jiao and others crossed their arms and touched their chins, with very strange expressions.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun had no time to take into account the sight of everyone behind them. They may not have considered whether the posture of the two of them pressing their cheeks very close to each other was a bit ambiguous, and they were paying attention to the battlefield in the distance with solemn moods.
.
In fact, at this moment on the distant battlefield, the Qin army had already shown an overwhelming advantage.
What Zhao Hongrun cared about the most was the special army of the Qin State that was called the "tattooed army" by Lintao Lord Wei Ji.
Why do you say it is a special army?
Because this so-called army is actually just a team of untouchables at the bottom of the society in the Qin State. According to the battle conditions Zhao Hongrun witnessed with his own eyes, those people have almost no war literacy. To put it bluntly, those people may not have experienced it at all.
In orthodox training, they only know how to rely on the hot blood in their chests, while roaring and rushing forward desperately, destroying any enemy standing in front of them.
You know, the first thing a new recruit in the Wei army does when he first joins the army is to learn to shut up and obey orders.
Why? Because the battlefield is a very noisy place. If the soldiers in the army were as noisy as the tattooed army of Qin, the generals at all levels in the army would not be able to convey orders to the nearby soldiers.
Therefore, except when charging, the Wei army never shouted or yelled when fighting, just for fear of affecting the general's command.
But those tattooed troops were good. Even after breaking into the formation of the Jie cavalry, they were still shouting and screaming, so that even from a long distance, Zhao Hongrun could hear those meaningless noises.
It is undeniable that shouting loudly on the battlefield can arouse a soldier's fighting spirit and make him devote himself to fighting. But this kind of thing can only be done before charging. There is no reason to do it while swinging a sword. It's really
When shouting is effortless?
What shocked Zhao Hongrun even more was that those tattooed soldiers - let's call them soldiers, actually bent down and cut off the head of an enemy soldier after killing him.
Please, this is a battlefield!
When the enemy has not been truly defeated, instead of thinking about continuing to kill the enemy, you actually stop and cut off the head?
Wouldn't it be better to do this kind of thing after the battle is won and the battlefield is cleaned up?
If this happened to the Wei army, that soldier would definitely be hacked to death by Tongze on the spot. Even if he was lucky enough to walk off the battlefield, he would be executed according to military regulations.
Therefore, based on these two points, Zhao Hongrun made a mental evaluation of this tattooed army as a "rabble".
But the problem was that this tattooed army of the Qin State, which he evaluated as a "rabble", used a fighting method regardless of casualties to withstand the counterattack of the Jie tribe's cavalry, suppressing the latter and making them unable to breathe.
"Perhaps...this can be used?"
Zhao Hongrun squinted his eyes and muttered secretly.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Qin Shaojun's cold inquiry.
"Looking at your expression, it seems that you have seen a flaw in the tactics of our Great Qin army?... Is that so, Your Highness Ji Run?"
