Just when Yuan Shang sent an envoy to "welcome" the arrival of Lu Bu's army, Xiang Ji, who was in Ningjin, met the person from the Zhen family again.
"The villain Zhen Tong pays homage to His Majesty the King of Chu!"
Seeing Xiang Ji this time, Zhen Tong lost his previous calmness.
Damn it, how come the BMW that the family bought was raped by robbers just fine?
In response, everyone in the Zhen family fell into panic.
A BMW doesn't matter, as long as you have money, you can still buy it.
But the problem is that this horse has been promised as a gift to King Xiang Ji of Chu.
This is a big problem!
You must know that the Zhen family planned to bet on both sides before, so they did not directly turn to the Chu State. They just sent their clan members to show their goodwill to the King of Chu and made a promise to him at the same time.
But I never thought that Hebei would be so weak. In less than two months, the Ningjin defense line was broken, and the 400,000-strong army was wiped out.
Now, the Zhen family no longer wants to do what he wants, but plans to repay King Xiang Ji of Chu for his thick legs.
But here comes the problem.
The promised BMW is missing, how to fix it?
You know, this is the gift that was promised to Xiang Yu before. Now that it is lost, what will Xiang Yu's attitude be? What if he gets angry because of this?
For the ancients, integrity was very important.
If this makes King Xiang Ji of Chu think that the Zhen family has no integrity, then the Zhen family's life will be difficult in the future.
But when it comes to taking out other treasures to recharge, it cannot be mobilized from all over the country in a short time.
And now that there is war everywhere, the Zhen family does not dare to show these yellow and white things to the public easily.
But there is no other way. Now that Xiang Ji's army has defeated Ningjin, he is afraid that he will soon send his troops westward and launch an attack on the central part of Jizhou.
If the Zhen family doesn't come out to express their support for the team at this time, then there really will be no chance.
"The Zhen family, right? What, you brought the BMW you promised to the lonely king? I remember the lonely king, it's called Zhaoye Jade Lion, right?"
Looking at Zhen Tong, Xiang Ji had a playful smile on his face.
This guy doesn’t know, but Xiang Ji does.
The BMW that the Zhen family prepared for him had already been snatched away by Zhao Yun.
Of course, Xiang Ji would not tell Zhao Yun that this BMW was intended to be given to him by the Zhen family. Otherwise, wouldn't it make it difficult for Zhao Yun to deal with himself?
Regarding this point, Xiang Ji is still very measured.
However, since your Zhen family has no BMW, what else do you want to donate to me? Xiang Ji is still very curious about this.
"Dear His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Zhen Tong here only represents the entire Zhen family to welcome the King of Chu to Jizhou!
Due to some unexpected reasons, the BMW has been lost...
In order to express the Zhen family's apology to His Highness the King of Chu, I, the head of the Zhen family, have decided to donate 10,000 war horses and a million stones of grain and grass to the Chu army."
!!!
Xiang Ji was moved!
Originally, Xiang Ji went to watch the Zhen family's performance with the intention of watching the excitement.
But I never thought that the Zhen family is worthy of being a wealthy businessman known all over the world!
Thousands of war horses? Damn it, you know, after all these years, the Mi family only got more than 10,000 war horses for me.
If the Zhen family makes a move, it will be 10,000 horses?
Moreover, it is not only war horses, but also food and grass! You know, these millions of stones of food and grass are enough to feed Xiang Ji's army for two years!
What is this concept?
I'm afraid that's all the supplies from Hebei that were wasted by Yuan Shang's prodigal son, right?
You know, Yuan Shao saved the supplies in Hebei for many years.
But if the Zhen family makes a move, it will cost them millions of stones?
He is indeed a wealthy businessman!
Previously, Xiang Ji had received the full support of the Mi family and was able to continuously launch wars.
But after all, relying solely on the strength of the Mi family is still limited, and the development of Chu State has now reached a bottleneck.
After all, the population is limited, and the land is also limited. In this era of low productivity, if you want to launch a large-scale war, the food and grass logistics required are staggering.
Now, with the Zhen family in Hebei, Xiang Ji can continue to expand the army.
Previously, Xiang Ji also said that all those prisoners from Hebei would be demobilized and allowed to return to their hometowns to work in the countryside.
But now it seems that it is completely possible to select some well-dressed men to form his army of 100,000!
"Very good! I have received the Zhen family's sincerity.
Mr. Zhentong, please go back and tell the head of your family that after King Gu conquers Yecheng, he will repay the Zhen family generously!"
After conquering Yecheng, Xiang Ji was full of confidence, and the Zhen family was also full of confidence.
Just kidding, now Yuan Shang has become a withered skeleton in the grave, and his 400,000 troops are gone. What else can he do with only the 200,000 new troops in Yecheng?
"On behalf of the head of the family, I would like to thank His Highness the King of Chu!
Please rest assured, Your Highness King Chu, the supplies promised by our Zhen family will be delivered soon!"
Seeing that Xiang Ji didn't care at all about the loss of his BMW, Zhen Tong suddenly felt relieved.
This time, the Zhen family has decided to fully support the Chu State, so they do not plan to wait for the delivery of supplies after moving into Yecheng.
After all, you understand this kind of thing, and I understand it too. It's understandable if you play it once. If you continue to write blank checks like this, even Xiang Ji will be really annoyed.
In these troubled times, whether you are a clan squire or a wealthy merchant, if you want to preserve the family's inheritance, you must choose a force to rely on.
Previously, the Zhen family supported the Yuan family in Hebei, but with the death of Yuan Shao, the Yuan family was torn apart by his three sons. Now even the Hebei territory is not repaid, so it is reasonable for the Zhen family to abandon him.
.
After all, our Zhen family has been asking for money and people for so many years, but we have only found a kind of shelter.
But now that you can no longer protect me, do you still want me, the Zhen family, to die together with your Yuan family?
Only when he saw the Zhen family envoy leaving did Xiang Ji show his excitement.
No matter what, I am also the king of a country now, so I can't lose my temper in front of a servant, right?
Unexpected, really unexpected.
This kid Zhao Yun is really my lucky general.
He has saved me from danger many times before, and now he has brought important information about Lu Bu's arrival in Jizhou.
And this time, it was because he robbed the BMW that the Zhen family wanted to give to me. Otherwise, how could the Zhen family be bleeding like this?
I'm afraid, this is because I lost my BMW and I'm afraid I'll be angry, right? Hahaha!
Xiang Ji knew that even a wealthy businessman like the Zhen family would be exhausted if they took out so many supplies at once.
But what does this have to do with Xiang Ji?
The Mi family was able to get a lot of care because they followed me early enough and gave me my sister as my wife.
As for the wallflower Zhen family? Hum hum, I can promise that your business will not be affected, but if you want any say, then there is no need to discuss it.
