Long Wu murmured: "I'm thinking about what I can do now."
"What to do?" The wise king said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's playing cards! Do you still want to go back to find your daughter? I tell you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Now you are a dead person in the eyes of outsiders, and now your daughter sees
It's easy to get discouraged when you go there, so don't go there to shake the morale of the army at this time. Your son-in-law is with you, what big trouble can happen?"
King Ming looked at King Xian and said, "Isn't that your son-in-law too?"
The wise king snorted and said: "I don't know who it is. I don't even have a daughter. The country is about to be taken away by others."
King Ming said: "As long as the old court is overthrown, the current political system of Zhao is changed, and Zhao is strong and prosperous, then I will die without regrets! What's wrong with not having a daughter? It's better not to have a daughter. I don't know who it is. After the daughter is married, I will be alone."
I often secretly wipe my tears at night..."
The wise king gritted his teeth and said: "You are looking for death!"
King Ming didn't care at all, he drew two cards and said: "Wang Zha!"
The wise king: "I can't afford it..."
Who would have known that he would be the king right now?
Prince Ming: "Three belts and one belt!"
The Wise King: “I’ve passed…”
Soon the State of Zhao once again protested to the State of Chu: Chu State did not keep its promise and clearly promised not to fight a war within ten years, but now it carried out large-scale military exercises and water battles on the border, and even clashed with the Zhao State sailors.
.
Regarding this matter, the State of Chu said: Have we attacked you? Are we not even qualified for military exercises now? Could it be that the Yangtze River is the territory of your State of Zhao? Is there such a thing? We have crossed your border.
Are you on the line? And what’s more, a conflict? We are holding a military exercise here and it is a good show. Who asked you to interfere?
Now that you are not as good as others and have stepped in, you are injured and still don't admit that you are inferior. You have to say that it was forced by them from the Chu country. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
We, the State of Chu, have been very generous by not asking you to compensate us for your interference in this military exercise, okay?
You actually came here and the bad guy complained first?
It’s simply irritating and irritating!
The State of Zhao expressed that it could not accept such rhetoric from the State of Chu, and would send envoys to the State of Chu to protest in person and argue with reason!
The State of Chu responded to the State of Zhao this way: Anyway, you now feel that our military exercises will pose a threat to you. No matter how we explain, it is useless. Then we will not perform in vain if we don’t perform! Keep performing! Perform every day! Who is afraid?
Who!
The military exercise on the Chu side was great, but the Zhao side couldn't sleep at all.
He urged the envoys on the road again and again, urging them to start negotiations with the Chu State as soon as possible and argue with reason!
How can an exercise be performed at someone else’s doorstep?
Besides, when I have nothing to do, I am acting in the Yangtze River, and the drama is still a water battle. Who needs a water battle?
It’s a no-brainer, right?
Prince Feng, who was sitting in the imperial study, naturally also got the news. At this moment, the Minister of Honglu Temple finally fulfilled his responsibilities as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. After Xu Qing left, the task of negotiation between the two countries finally fell to
On his head.
When the Minister of Honglu Temple got this news, he was really grateful!
What does it mean to watch the clouds open and see the moonlight?
This is to keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight!
Get rid of Xu Qing's bricks, and your luck will come!
But soon Honglu Temple Minister received another message, that is, you must control the time of this negotiation. If Xu Qing does not receive a letter, you will have to keep wrangling.
Honglu Temple Qing's heart, which had just warmed up, was instantly extinguished.
Is this negotiation still controlled by someone else?
In response to this matter, the minister of Honglu Temple finally couldn't help but complained to the regent: Why does everything happen to Xu Qing? I have worked hard for Chu for so many years, and finally got a job, but in the end I still had to be
His Highness the King of Han is controlling it. If this is the case, just let His Highness the King of Han come and be the minister of Honglu Temple! I will retire and return to my hometown!
In response, the regent said: "The King of Han has no time to be the minister of Honglu Temple. He is busy rebelling."
Minister of Honglu Temple: "..."
Should he say something?
Immediately afterwards, the regent was afraid that the minister of Honglu Temple would not understand the meaning of this sentence, so he added to the minister of Honglu Temple: "Don't think about it. There is no use in reporting it to your majesty. Your Majesty is helping the King of Han to rebel."
Minister of Honglu Temple; "..."
These words sounded more and more permeating.
Would you please stop saying it so lightly?
…
Among Shuzhou
Xu Qing knew that his delaying method had taken effect. This meant that there were people in the court who could do things easily. Now that there are people in the courts of the three countries, how could things be done easily?
At least I gained an extra month.
And Xu Qing is also making reasonable use of this month.
Zhao Huaiyi is now responsible for the training of new recruits, but the recruitment and training of new recruits has been delegated to the deputy general. His main task is to lead the newly trained recruits to suppress bandits.
Moreover, various methods were used to suppress bandits, and Long Bing'er even published a guide specifically for this purpose.
Zhao Huaiyi now not only needs to use cold weapons to suppress bandits, but also needs to learn to cooperate with firearms.
They don't have much time for these new recruits to slowly undergo training on the training ground and transform into veterans. They can only train their soldiers' tactics and combat awareness on the battlefield.
In this case, these recruits will mature quickly.
Xu Qing's work of mobilizing food is still going on. He is not afraid of having too much food, but he is afraid of not having enough.
Firearms are also stored in a safe place.
Now everyone entering and exiting Shuzhou City must be strictly screened and should not go out unless necessary.
In addition to building a defense line for street fighting, Xin Honggao's other task was to capture the imperial court's spies, and to closely guard the firearms and not allow any outsiders to approach.
Firearms are their greatest guard of honor. If they don't have any firearms, they can take advantage of Shuzhou still in their hands and escape in a boat.
Many grain merchants also flocked to Shu and began to join forces to raise the price of grain.
They have received the news that the imperial army is already gathering. As long as the Chu State is stabilized, the imperial court may send troops at any time!
Once there is a crisis of war, the price of food will inevitably skyrocket.
Therefore, grain merchants began to jointly raise grain prices.
Merchants pursue profit. Even when the Chu State went to war with the grassland, there would still be merchants from the Central Plains smuggling supplies to the grassland.
Not to mention that it was just a rebellion, so of course it wouldn't affect their food sales.
People who had insufficient food at home were also in panic at this moment. Local grain dealers joined forces with foreign grain dealers to raise food prices. The money in their hands could not buy much food at all.
Everyone was waiting for when the price of food would drop, but who knew that the price of food would actually rise higher and higher!
At this moment, many people in Shuzhou felt a little desperate. Do these grain merchants sincerely want to starve them to death?
