Normally, Zi Chebai's sword would kill the beast in front of him with one strike.
But that was normal, now it is not normal. He is obviously no match for this Wu Guozhen beast.
Even if you just talk, you have to raise your head.
How tiring.
"Li Zi, that is the princess of Qin."
Taking a deep breath, Zi Che Bai Butt reminded Li Jie.
"I know, but the young master is already dead, right?"
"..."
The matter of having a small family is very embarrassing. Up to now, both Qin and Wu have treated it coldly.
It had a very good beginning, but how it ended was extremely painful for both countries.
King Gou Chen of Wu Wei is still dead. If it were normal, your king would be so scared that I would flip the table over.
But King Wu Wei, an old monster from Jiangdong, didn't follow the routine. Before he died, he actually succeeded in destroying Yue.
Zuo Qu Ma Zi Che Bai Butt Judging from a rational point of view, the strength of the Yue State is stronger than that of the Song State!
But what about now? Zongsang, the last king of Yue, and his whole family are in Gusu, and not even a fly can fly into the residence of the Yue clan.
Of course, in winter, there are no flies either.
"Things have to be solved, right?"
Li Jie raised his hand and put it on Zi Che's shoulder. Zuo Quma's eyes twitched, staring at Li Jie's big hand that was as thick as an old tree root. Every finger was caused by compression fractures.
Thick and thick, the skin is covered with thick calluses, just like the slaves in Xianyang who have been working all year round.
"What can Li Zi do?"
In Zuo Quma's view, it is very difficult to satisfy both Qin and Wu.
The Qin State could not get rid of the Wu State. Of course, in terms of face, the Wu State deserved death!
But this cannot be done in reality. Qin needs weapons and equipment, advanced weapons and equipment.
At the same time, Qin also needs the support of Wu to relieve the pressure in the east. If possible, taking Qin's country into its hands can reduce a lot of pressure and release more energy of Qin.
The main premise is that "Wu and Qin are good" should be implemented, but the young master is already dead, so that's nonsense.
"Methods...are all thought up by people. Li has an immature idea."
"Appreciate further details."
"It's easy to talk. Let's talk while walking."
The sound of horse's hoofbeats started to sound, and Zi Che was startled. He always felt that the sound of horse's hoofs was weird, and the road surface was also weird.
The urban roads in Huaizhong City are very smooth. Unlike Xianyang, Luojing, Xinzheng and other big cities, the urban planning of Huaizhong City does not seem to have very strict walls. There are many street-facing pavements and a strong commercial atmosphere.
It's just that they all abide by the rules and rarely take advantage of the road.
There are signs erected everywhere along the road, which read: Anyone who occupies the road for business shall be punished by whipping ten times, fined five hundred coins, and served ten days.
Ziche Baihu couldn't understand the text, so he asked about it. After learning the details, he was shocked: "How can the Chinese people tolerate such harsh punishments?"
"Rebel if you can't bear it anymore! If you beat Li, don't you no longer have to abide by the rules?"
Looking down at the shocked Zi Chebai buttocks, Commissioner Li grinned, "Li always only wants one thing when doing things: either be beaten to death by Li, or...beat Li to death!"
"..."
Glancing at Li Jie's head, Zuo Quma suddenly felt that the fellow from "Yiqu" next door to Qin State was quite amiable. At least he had some brains.
"The most important thing……"
Li Jie lowered his voice, lowered his head and approached Zuo Quma, "Li, there are no Chinese savages here."
"..."
Can this fucking work?!
Zi Che Bai Butt looked around suspiciously. After looking for a long time, he fell silent.
This is fucking okay?!
Seeing the appearance of Huai Zhong City, Zi Che Bai Butt thought, after returning home, Qin could do the same thing.
But after thinking about it, I was shocked. If he had suggested this, he would probably be chopped into pieces by the old family members that day.
"I haven't asked Li Zi what he just said!"
"Let's take a look at Huaizhong City first. After reading it, we can talk about it in detail later. Otherwise, it won't be convincing."
"..."
After listening to Li Jie's words, Zi Che Bai Butt really began to observe Huaizhong City seriously.
The former Zhoulai City was definitely not like this. It was not of such a huge scale. Moreover, it can be seen that the walls of Huaizhong City were only maintained casually and had no intention of reinforcement. Several small towns outside the city were being expanded.
, a large number of buildings are connected to the city. Does this mean that city defense is not needed?
Passing by a residential area, a large number of houses all looked the same. After a brief inspection, Zuo Quma could tell that these were not for nobles.
There are also livestock pens not far away, including cattle and horses, as well as donkeys and mules.
"Lu Shu?"
I was even more shocked when I saw the donkeys and their white buttocks. Such rare animals... there are quite a lot of them.
In his mind, he quickly calculated the family fortune of Huaizhong City, coupled with the large population, especially since Li explained just now that there is no distinction between Chinese and barbarians here, and he, Li, has the final say in everything.
If others don't like it and can't bear it, they will rebel and agree to Li Jie, everything will be easy to talk about.
If you can't win, it's all nonsense, so you can only listen to what he says.
The population that can be utilized in the entire Huaizhong City is extremely large. Zi Che's white buttocks are not stupid, but after just a slight estimate, his whole face turned pale.
When heading south from Ru Ying, he thought that Huaizhong City would be a stronghold.
Now it seems that this is not a fucking stronghold, this is simply a city!
Sweat broke out on his forehead, and Zi Che's white buttocks suddenly believed the rumor.
The rare beast of the Wu Kingdom in front of me must be King Wu Wei’s bastard!
If it weren't for his biological father, how could he have given so many resources to turn the dilapidated city on the bank of the Huai River into such a big city in the world?
Moreover, everything inside and outside the city is in full swing, with a large number of newly opened fields and densely packed boats on the banks of the Huai River.
Zuo Quma once wondered whether Wu State had emptied all its wealth and packed it into Huaizhong City.
"Ahead is the money storehouse and grain storehouse."
The carriage moved forward, passing three checkpoints, four checkpoints, and five checkpoints, and finally arrived at the entrance of the large warehouse. The doors were open, and supplies were coming in and out.
For example, "Dahong 01" has incoming and outgoing channels. It comes in from Jiangyin and ships out from Huaizhong City.
Each carriage is probably an order.
On the white buttocks of the car, you can see with the naked eye a large amount of Wu brocade, cloth, grain, weapons, armor, leather, fur, copper ingots...
Each warehouse has a large amount of supplies. Zi Chebaihipi believes that Li Jie did not store these supplies in advance just for him to see.
Of course, Zuo Quma also wanted to get out of the car and go to the warehouse to inspect the goods.
After thinking again in his mind, Zi Chebai felt that with just the few possessions he could see through his glasses, Li Jie seemed to be able to destroy Cai Guo without even taking a breath.
"how?"
Li Jie held his hand on the railing, "Li is quite powerful?!"
"Li Zicheng is a hero in this world."
It's very sincere, even if it's not sincere, I can't control myself at all.
Li Jie was very satisfied with Zuo Quma's attitude, nodded slightly, and then said: "The 'Big Red 01' used by Gusu is also the 'Chixia' mentioned by Zi Chejun. Without me, Jiangyin City, there would be nowhere to follow."
"Li Zi is so broad, I admire him with his white buttocks."
"Just admire me!"
He happily patted Zuo Quma on the shoulder, "Well, now Li can talk to Zi Chejun about the solution to 'Wu Qin is good'."
"Um?"
"What does Qin need?"
"Hangu Pass and Chongguan Pass."
"Well, it's a bit difficult, but that's just a bit difficult. However, as long as the Jin Kingdom is defeated, it won't be difficult at all."
"..."
After listening to this nonsense, Zuo Quma was also speechless. Hangu Pass and Chongguan were both under the control of the Jin State. The eastern part of the Qin State's core ruling area was completely unsafe. It all depended on risking one's life. In addition, the Jin State's control of Qin State
Only if the country has no interest at all can independence be guaranteed.
Otherwise, if Jin really gets angry, Qin's capital will have to retreat at least one to two hundred miles.
"With strong support from outside and good governance from within, this is what your Qin State originally planned."
"Exactly!"
There is nothing to hide. Even the Jin State knows where the core interests of "Wu and Qin are good" lie.
The country of Wu, a southeastern countryman, did not have good intentions. He must have hoped that Qin would rise and beat Jin to paralysis, so that it would be easier for Wu to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.
Especially the four countries of Song, Chen, Cai, and Zheng were originally the buffer zone for hegemony. Whoever got it first would have the upper hand.
In the past, when Jin and Chu were fighting for hegemony, the two countries they fought for were Zheng and Song.
Qi and Chu were fighting each other, and the objects of competition were Song and Chen.
A group fight broke out between Wu and Chu, and the two countries they fought for were Chen and Cai.
The remaining small countries are all weaklings who run with him. Even Suiguo, who has a rich ancestor, is his younger brother.
"Now that the young master is dead and the new king of Wu has not yet established a firm foothold, I am afraid that it will not be possible to support Qin."
"..."
Is it nice to rub salt into the wound?
"However, if I, the Great Wu State, cannot provide it, I, Mr. Li, can provide it."
With that said, Li Jie waved his hand and pointed to the armory not far away, "Wu Ge Jin Crossbow, as long as the price is right, we can negotiate."
"Li Zi is a minister of the state of Wu."
"I asked Cai Guo to be the 'regent', and I went to Dr. Cai Fumei to talk to Qin Guo. This is legal, right?"
"..."
Yes, it's legal and reasonable.
"As for frustrating the Jin State, this kind of thing depends on the opportunity and cannot be forced. However, I can still sell Jiangyin's specialties to the Qin State at a very favorable price."
"..."
After hearing about Li Jie's preferential policies, Zi Che Bai Butt thought, what good would this do to Li Jie? Is it just for a princess?
This princess is not worth so much money.
"What are plums?"
"Again……"
Li Jie patted Zi Che's white buttocks on the shoulder and asked solemnly, "Your princess...is she beautiful?"
"..."
Suddenly Zi Che Bai Butt wanted to go home, and asked the Lord if he could get some more princesses to come out. This beast of the Wu Kingdom in front of him was just a fool.
"Plum."
Zuo Qu Ma Zi Che's white buttocks expression was solemn and proud, full of perseverance and strength, and then he resolutely said to Li Jie: "The princess is good at playing the flute."
