If we say that we smuggled arrow shafts before, it can be said that we did not violate the laws of Chu... This time we smuggled actual iron weapons, or iron weapons.
If the incident really comes to light, it will be a big trouble even for a prince like Xiong Wuliang who is favored by the King of Chu.
Xiong Wuliang: "The first batch of transactions - one thousand sets of armor and swords, one thousand repeating crossbows, and two hundred thousand arrows."
"See you in Yushan in two days."
Si stood up in surprise: "It's a deal."
He glanced in the direction of the backyard with some reluctance, but instead of meeting Si Yi again to say goodbye, he resolutely said goodbye to Xiong Wuliang.
In order to continue the fragrance of Sheji, I would rather cooperate with the Chu people who just finished the war!
Give it a try!
…
The risk is worth it.
There is no shortage of anything in the fief, only iron!
Although the transaction with Si Jing is not as satisfying as having the mine in his own hands, it can be regarded as a solution to an urgent need. In a short time, he no longer has to worry about the problem of iron shortage.
If there is enough iron, Xiong Wuliang even intends to replace all the current wooden farm tools with iron farm tools to further improve agricultural productivity.
Qi and Qin have the potential to attack the world from east to west, but these two first-rate powers are not yet bordering... For Chu, the third country in the middle, no matter which side is too strong, it is not a good thing.
Especially now that Qin and Qi have had more or less friction with Chu...
It is a good thing for Chu that a troublemaker like Si Jing can withstand Qi's pressure and slow down Qi's westward advance.
For Xiong Wuliang, these transactions will make the fiefdom continue to grow stronger in a short period of time, and it can also be regarded as aiding his cheap father-in-law...
This should be true for both public and private matters.
With the shadow of the great enemy Qi hanging over them, the Chu State was no longer an enemy of the puppet Yue State led by Si Jing, at least not in a short period of time.
…
Hong Shitou, a hundred-man general of the Quyang Army, dressed in civilian clothes, led his hundred-man team to escort a row of heavy carts.
The team did not display any flags, and Quyang’s soldiers did not have any identification marks on their bodies.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary caravan.
Only the most astute people can notice that these one hundred people behave like elite soldiers.
What was being pulled in the car was the first batch of goods that Xiong Wuliang and Si Jing traded.
Hong Shitou was tense and his right hand was resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist almost all the time.
Don't blame him for being stressed out.
If the thousand armors in the car were discovered, Xiong Wuliang's head would not be a big problem, but his own head would definitely be chopped off by the King of Chu.
Leaving aside other items such as crossbows and arrows, what is the concept of a complete set of one thousand armors?
Looking at the county soldiers, border troops, and private soldiers of various nobles from all over the Chu Kingdom...all of them combined, the entire Chu Kingdom would not have more than 100,000 sets of armor.
Not to mention the well-forged hundred-refined armor carried on the car.
If the incident is revealed, it will be the largest smuggling case in Chu State in a century...
Fortunately, no one paid attention to me along the way, so there was no danger.
It was already late at night when we arrived at the southern foot of Yushan Mountain.
When Qu Ping withdrew his troops, Wu Ben still had 10,000 Chu soldiers stationed here. But later Qi withdrew its troops from the north of Yushan, and Chu's 10,000 soldiers also withdrew.
At the southern foot of Yushan Mountain, there are still faint traces of the army camping.
Hong Shitou looked around cautiously and saw nothing. He put his hand to his mouth and made two strange bird calls...
Wow!
Just a hundred steps away from the convoy, hundreds of big men stood out on the plain!
Hong Shihuner was scared to death!
Hold the grass.
If the enemy ambushed here, the bodies of his centurions would be cold by now.
Hong Shitou was frightened for a while.
The leading Yue man had a determined look on his face: "Do you have everything complete?"
If Xiong Wuliang were here, he would definitely recognize it. In front of him, it was Yue Wang Sijing who was personally leading the team.
It is indeed a blessing for the country and the country to have such a king.
Xiong Wuliang: It would be great if such a good cadre could work for me in my company...
Hong Shitou suppressed the tension in his heart and showed the qualities that an excellent veteran should have: "Where is the thing that my master wants?"
Si Jing glanced at Hong Shitou and secretly praised him in his heart.
No wonder Xiong Wuliang was able to withstand the fierce attack of his tens of thousands of troops in Jianyang.
He was able to calm down so quickly after being 'ambushed' by himself.
"Stop following Xiong Wuliang, come follow me and I will make you a general with a thousand men!" Si Jing said seductively...
Hong Shitou sneered and glanced at Si Jing.
Is this person a bad person?
Who doesn’t know that your puppet country is in danger?
What's the difference between letting me hang out with you now and joining the Fruit Party in the fourth year of my life?
…
"Sure enough, wealth is gained through danger!" In the early morning at Quyangjun's mansion, Xiong Wuliang smiled broadly as he looked at the carts of iron ore.
In a short time, you don’t have to worry about the shortage of iron materials!
"Report..." Two sergeants strode in: "My lord, there are people from Ying!"
Xiong Wuliang was so frightened that he shivered.
Hold the grass!
Did the incident come to light so soon? !
"Quick, cover it up, cover it up!" Xiong Wuliang danced.
After a while, Fangcai walked outside fearfully with frivolous steps.
Take a quick look.
Good guy, old acquaintance.
General Jin of the Forbidden Army respectfully bowed his hand to Xiong Wuliang and said, "I have met the prince."
Seeing that this guy had a good attitude, Xiong Wuliang breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he is not here to raise an army and ask questions.
"Come in quickly..." Xiong Wuliang said with a smile on his face: "General, why have you come all the way from Yingdu?"
General Jin looked a little hesitant, as if it was not convenient for him to say: "Your Majesty, the king invites you to go to the palace to discuss matters..."
"It seems that there are changes on the Qin side!"
Xiong Wuliang suddenly became energetic.
In the battle of Yiyang, Qin finally found a fighter opportunity after half a year of confrontation and fierce fighting, and beat the allied forces of Han and Wei into panic.
The Qin army captured Yiyang and occupied this strategic location for its massive eastward march.
Last month, I just heard that King Qin Ying Dang personally led tens of thousands of elite Qin troops and went straight to Luoyang to meet the Emperor of Zhou.
All the countries in the world held their breath——
Do you need to bring tens of thousands of elite soldiers to meet the emperor?
I'm afraid that the King of Qin's visit to the Emperor was a lie, and that he wanted to swallow up the fertile land of Luoyang in one go.
Could it be that the 800-year-old foundation created by King Wen and King Wu will be destroyed today?
All countries in the world are attentive, waiting to witness history...
Xiong Wuliang knows that history is moving forward according to the predetermined trajectory.
According to the script, after King Qin Yingdang arrived in Luoyang and saw the huge Jiuding, he couldn't resist the urge to compete and competed with the strongman Meng Shuo to lift the 'Dragon Wen Red Cauldron'.
As a result, his eyes were bleeding protrudingly, his tibia was broken, and he died at the age of 23.
His posthumous title is Lie (mourning).
The people are commonly known as King Wulie of Qin, or King Wu of Qin Daowu.
General Jin just said that there were changes in the Qin State - at this time, what other changes could there be?
Xiong Wuliang blurted out: "Zhou Cao, is King Qin dead?"
