The General's Mansion.
Ji Wuye was sitting on a high seat with a wild and lazy posture, drinking the wine poured by the maid next to him, and admiring the dancers in the center of the hall. He was obviously in a good mood, until he saw the figure of the Emerald Tiger, his eyes A flash of surprise flashed across his face, and he laughed and said, "Tiger, why did you come back so quickly? Could it be that your relationship with that kid broke down?"
For Zhao Jia, he didn't want to deal with it for the time being. Even if the conditions offered by Lu Buwei were good, Zhao Jia's identity was really affected here and the impact was too great. Ji Wuye had to consider it.
"You guys go down."
The Jade Tiger's face was solemn, he looked at the maids and dancers in the hall, and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the maid and dancer looked at Ji Wuye one after another.
Ji Wuye waved his hand and signaled them to retreat, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the Emerald Tiger, and he asked doubtfully: "What happened to deserve such an expression?"
Jade Tiger has been following him for nearly ten years, and he knows who he is.
It's really interesting that a ruthless character who dares to compete with the Korean royal family without changing his expression showed this expression today.
This made him curious, what exactly did the other party talk to the eldest son of Zhao State tonight?
Wait until the maid and dancer leave.
The Emerald Tiger took a deep breath, walked up to Ji Wuye, squinted his eyes, and said in a serious voice: "General, we may have underestimated this eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom. He came to Korea to propose to marry the princess. It is a fake. It means The cooperation between Zhao and South Korea is real.”
"?!"
Ji Wuye was stunned when he heard this and frowned, "What do you mean?"
"This Young Master Jia has a teacher who should be familiar to the general...Li Mu from the Kingdom of Zhao!"
Jade Tiger said slowly, and his tone could not help but become a little more serious. He was also quite surprised when he heard the news. Li Mu's prestige among the Zhao army is not low, especially in the frontier fortress in the far north of Zhao country. It can be called the magic needle that can stabilize the sea. The barbarians who hit him called him daddy, and the army he led was even called "wolf hunters" by the barbarians.
The barbarians call themselves the wolf tribe.
There is obviously no need to say what the name Wolfhunter means.
Moreover, Li Mu himself is also a master of the art of war. He has mastered the art of military formation, and his military leadership skills are among the best in the world.
"Li Mu? Li Mu cannot represent the State of Zhao."
Ji Wuye said calmly.
Although Li Mu's reputation is resounding, he alone cannot represent the State of Zhao. Zhao Jia wants to cooperate with him under the banner of Li Mu, which is undoubtedly not qualified.
The Emerald Tiger seemed to see what Ji Wuye was thinking, and said in a deep voice: "General, Li Mu controls the army at Zhao's frontier, and his prestige in the north is unmatched. The most important thing is that Li Mu has no shortage of war horses. Then Mr. Jia means that he can help us open up the relationship with Li Mu and sell the war horses to us.
During this period, Li Mu can persuade Zhao Wang Yan, and we only need to bribe Guo Kai..."
He slowly recounted his conversation with Zhao Jia, including the matter of Jingtie.
"Does he have this ability?"
Ji Wuye's eyes flashed as he stared at the emerald tiger, his expression no longer casual, like an awakened tiger. No general could resist the temptation of a war horse.
"From what he said, he was very confident."
The Emerald Tiger said slowly.
"Interesting! What do you think he wants to do?"
Ji Wuye sneered and asked curiously.
The Emerald Tiger touched the beard on his chin, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The villain is just a businessman. The way of a businessman is to make profits. Since this Young Master Jia wants to cooperate and offers such a bargaining chip, he must do it." Tu Sheng, he hasn’t said what he wants yet, obviously, he wants to get in touch with the general.”
"I'm more curious about one thing now. Is this his own plan or someone else's plan?"
Not only was Ji Wuye's expression not relaxed at all, but he became even more solemn.
How can the sale of war horses be carried out on a large scale without the consent of the leader of a country? If there are dozens or hundreds of horses,
, Zhao Jia obviously does not need to spare such a big trick.
The Emerald Tiger chuckled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter who planned it, what matters is whether the general can profit from it!"
"Tiger, the way of business is different from the way of power. The former focuses on profit, while the latter focuses on strength. It is too risky to rashly cooperate with an unknown person."
Ji Wuye glanced at the Emerald Tiger and said in a deep voice.
"The benefits are sufficient, so what if there are some risks."
Jade Tiger said slowly, as a businessman, he only considers profit. If he can cooperate with Li Mu, the war horse alone will be enough for him to make a lot of money. After all, war horses are hard currency and can be used anywhere. Sell high.
In the past, Zhao State had extremely strict control over this, and each country had no chance to obtain a large number of war horses. This is why all countries tend to use infantry.
The most representative one is the Wei soldiers of the Wei state. They are the strongest heavy infantry in the contemporary era. They once defeated the Qin state with 50,000 soldiers and 200,000 soldiers. Wu Qi even relied on the Wei warriors to capture Hangu Pass. There is no doubt about the strength.
Even though the number of Wei soldiers has dropped sharply, Wei's status as a great power is still maintained.
The only drawback is that it costs too much and other countries cannot afford to copy it even if they want to.
Naturally, South Korea cannot afford these things. Not to mention heavy infantry, cavalry are all luxuries. .
Ji Wuye's eyes flickered for a long time before he said, "I'll wait until this general sees him. I want to know what he wants more than what he says."
There was a pause.
He looked at the Jade Tiger and asked, "Did you just say that he is related to the people from Zilanxuan?"
"I saw with my own eyes that when he was talking to me about these things, the purple girl from Zilanxuan was standing by. She didn't seem to care about what he meant, and even asked her to stay."
A flash of doubt flashed in the Emerald Tiger's eyes, and he said slowly.
"No wonder Lu Buwei is so afraid of him, haha."
Ji Wuye sneered and said lightly: Come, accompany me to meet this eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom! "
…
…
On the other side, Zhao Jia met Wei Zhuang.
His face is clean and fair, with sharp-edged coldness. Under his long eyelashes, there are a pair of deep eyes. His clothes are black in color and matched with gold decorations, which adds a sense of nobility. He looks very much like an aristocratic young master, but he has too much temperament. Cold and exuding a strong sense of distance.
At this moment, Wei Zhuang knelt down and sat opposite Zhao Jia, and the two looked at each other.
Zijing sat elegantly on one side, making tea for the two of them. At the same time, she watched the two of them looking at each other with beautiful eyes, seeming to find it interesting. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, elegant and charming.
Wei Zhuang is indeed a big shot in Qin's fashion industry. His attitude is extremely tough and his tone is even colder: "Do you know my senior brother?"
He was the first to break the calm, and the question he asked was exactly what Zhao Jia had guessed.
As expected of a CP who was loved by countless rotten girls in later generations... Zhao Jia cursed in his heart, but remained calm on his face, nodded, and said softly: "Of course we know, Gai Nie is now the swordsman beside Qin Wangzheng, I I met him many times and talked to him several times.”
"He mentioned me?"
Wei Zhuang's cold eyes became a little more rippled, and he said with some suspicion.
Based on his understanding of senior brother Gai Nie, he should not discuss these topics with outsiders.
"I mentioned it once."
Zhao Jia thought for a while and said matter-of-factly. He remembered that he had asked Gai Nie once, although he had deliberately guided him.
Did you mention it once? !
Wei Zhuang's eyes instantly turned cold. He couldn't see any emotion or anger, but he gave people a very unhappy feeling.
Aojiao Zhuang is really not just talking... Zhao Jia felt happy and continued to tease: "He is now Qin Wangzheng's confidant, and the two are inseparable."
"I'm curious, how did you know that I am the person behind Zilanxuan?"
Wei Zhuang stared at Zhao Jia and asked coldly.
There is someone behind Zilanxuan. There are indeed many people who know this secret, but it is only limited to Han
How could a small number of people in Xinzheng, who had just arrived in Guo Xinzheng, figure this out so quickly when Zhao Jia first arrived? Now that I think about it, the other party might have known all this a long time ago.
"It doesn't seem like it's a secret."
Zhao Jia looked at Zi Nu, smiled slightly, and said softly.
Zi Nu blinked her eyes and handed the brewed tea to Zhao Jia.
"Thanks."
Zhao Jia took it politely.
Wei Zhuang's eyes on the side became even colder and he said, "But not everyone can know!"
"I have information about the snare."
Zhao Jia stopped joking and turned to look at Wei Zhuang.
"A snare?"
Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu were both shocked. Wei Zhuang frowned and looked at Zhao Jia in confusion: "Where are you from?"
He was obviously the eldest son of the Zhao State, but now he has become the Marquis of Changxin in the Qin State. He is even related to Luo Wang. Now he has reached out to the night of South Korea, and even wants to cooperate with Li Mu... A series of things , causing Zhao Jia's image in Wei Zhuang's mind to change again and again.
"I stand on my own side. If you want to survive in this troubled world and protect the people you care about, you must first have strength."
Zhao Jia smiled, looked at Zi Nu again, and slowly told a truth.
"Then why did the young master want to cooperate with the Emerald Tiger? No, it should be said about the night behind the Emerald Tiger."
Zi Nu looked into Zhao Jia's eyes, as if she wanted to know what he was thinking in his heart.
Zhao Jia said calmly: "Because the only person who can cooperate with me right now is Ye Mu. You should be familiar with the situation in South Korea than me. I want to unite enough forces, and Ye Mu is undoubtedly the first choice."
After he finished speaking, he took a sip of the tea in the cup regardless of what Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang thought.
The tea is very fragrant and soothes the throat, and the purple girl who makes the tea is even more eye-catching.
He likes purple.
"What do you want? Nightmare's support?"
Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice.
"Yes, but not all of them, because Ye Mu is not a good partner. Compared to Ye Mu's group of people, I would rather cooperate with someone worthy of cooperation, such as you, the descendant of Guigu, and the ninth master of Korea. Unfortunately, , at present, I can only cooperate with Ye Mu, because you are all too weak."
Zhao Jia nodded, looked at Wei Zhuang, and spoke slowly, telling a fact in a steady tone.
"Weak?"
Wei Zhuang muttered to himself and looked up at Zhao Jia. This was the first time he heard someone use the word weak to describe him.
Novel and funny.
"Isn't it? Under the power of a country, personal power is nothing. In troubled times, if you want to protect what you want and change something, you must first stand high enough and influence enough people. , only in this way will you have the opportunity to do what you want to do."
Zhao Jia looked at Wei Zhuang and said lightly.
To be honest, he is not disgusted with Wei Zhuang because Wei Zhuang lives a very pure life. In this regard, the other party is undoubtedly more real than Gai Nie. This may have something to do with Wei Zhuang's experience.
In contrast, Gai Nie is like a knight-errant, doing things based on justice in his heart. If he thinks it is right, he will do it!
"In that case, why do you want to see me?"
When Wei Zhuang heard this, he neither refuted nor agreed, but just stared at Zhao Jia indifferently.
"Because you are the future of South Korea. What Ye Mu has done is undoubtedly breaking South Korea's bones and sucking its marrow, making this dilapidated country even weaker. I have read many books by Ninth Young Master Han Fei, and I know what he is thinking, and I also Understand what he wants to do, maybe only he can change South Korea, but this will take time.
For now, I can only seek the cooperation of Nightfall.
As for you, I am willing to make friends and look forward to your future. "
Zhao Jia is sincere and candid enough to cooperate with whoever is strong.
Zi Nu glanced at Zhao Jia with her charming purple eyes and chuckled, "It would be a pity that you don't want to do business."
"Isn't this just a life now?
What do you mean? South Korea's acquisition of a large number of war horses will definitely improve the strength of its army, which will be of great benefit to South Korea. "
Zhao Jia took all of Zi Nu's gaze and said calmly that he was using a conspiracy. No matter whether it was South Korea or Night, he would not refuse this deal.
For South Korea, the strength of the military represents national strength.
For Ji Wuye, the strength of the army represents his right to speak.
Will Han Fei, Wei Zhuang and others object?
Obviously not.
Wei Zhuang ignored the flirting between a man and a woman. He asked coldly, "I'm curious how you can convince King Zhao. Your father doesn't seem to like you."
"Why does he need to like it? My father should be aware of the reason why lips are broken and teeth are cold. Moreover, South Korea and Zhao have always been on good terms. We have lost contact with each other these years, so we can just use my marriage to repair it. This matter is good for both South Korea and Zhao. He won’t refuse the benefits.”
Hearing this, Zhao Jia turned to look at the cold Wei Zhuang again, chuckled, and said unhurriedly.
The existence of South Korea is a good thing for Zhao State, and this marriage is enough for Zhao Wangyan to agree to this secret deal. During this period, he only needs to bribe Guo Kai, and most of the matter is already done. What's more, all of this is It was superficial, what he really needed was to reconnect with Li Mu.
Blacksmithing technology, etc. all require manpower and land, and the north of Zhao is just the right place.
It would be even better if we could capture Yan State in the future!
This may require Yan Dan's cooperation. After all, this man is a selfless "good old man". He can abandon his wife and daughter for the sake of justice, so it should be no problem to give the Yan Kingdom to him for the sake of justice!
The refined iron from Yan State and his forging craftsmanship are enough to strengthen Zhao Jun!
How can Hufu cavalry and shooting compare to the torrent of steel?
The script has been written, now the actors have to be cast.
