"Traitor! Lewd thief!! Evil thief!!!"
Angry flames flashed in Cao Pi's eyes, and he cursed in a heartbroken and imageless manner, shouting at the top of his lungs. His shrill voice seemed to eat Zhang Xiusheng, who was thousands of miles away in Chang'an.
After the Wu army received the assistance of Kecheng's heavy crossbows, their morale was greatly boosted. They defeated the Wei army for hundreds of miles and suffered direct losses of up to 10,000 troops and more than 3,000 horses. It was a heavy loss.
Xiahou Chun was defeated and retreated to a mountain pass to build a camp. He could not hold on and did not dare to fight again. At the same time, he hurriedly conveyed the news to Xu Du and reported the truth to Cao Pi about the heavy crossbow that defeated the city.
Cao Pi's anger came from this.
Just because he didn't sell his equipment, he was so vicious and shameless. It was extremely shameless!
Cao Pi's face turned red with anger, and the more he scolded, the more angry he became. In the end, he even became conceited. Of course, Zhang Xiu brought this dirty word through time and space.
The quiet echo in the entire hall was Cao Pi's roar.
The scolding continued, but there was only one meaning: Cao Pi was willing to have a physical love relationship with Zhang Xiu's grandmother and mother. Although these words were rude, Cao Pi's scolding became more and more powerful.
At this moment, the guards outside the palace came in and reported: The envoy of Jingguo wants to see you.
Cao Pi was furious and shouted: "Behead him! Behead him! Pull him out now and chop him into pieces with a thousand swords!"
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
The ministers on the left and right were frightened by Cao Pi's voice and hurriedly knelt down to remonstrate.
Today's Cao Wei is already in troubled times, how can he still dare to provoke Jingguo? Killing the envoys of Jingguo is equivalent to declaring war with Jingguo. During this period, if Jingguo joins the battle, Wei will be in danger.
Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. You must not fall into Zhang Xiu's plan."
Cao Pi: "What's the plan?"
Xun Yu: "Zhang Xiu's move is just to anger the emperor and kill Jingchen. This confirms Jingguo's reason for sending troops. Please think twice!"
"Zhang Papi is such a cunning fox!" Cao Pi laughed ferociously, "Huh! I won't be fooled by him!"
Chen Qun said: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Jingguo is probably here to sell equipment."
Before Cao Pi could speak, Xun Yu said first: "The war situation in Qingzhou is tense. Please put the overall situation first and stabilize the war situation in Qingzhou before making any plans. Jingguo is already as strong as a rainbow. If Soochow is allowed to become strong as well, our great Wei Dynasty will be in danger." !”
Cao Pi gritted his teeth helplessly and said: "Okay, I understand!" Then he summoned the envoys of Jingguo to visit him.
Coming to the Wei State was Qin Mi, the Minister of Rites of the State of Jing.
As an envoy of a great power, Qin Mi was full of confidence. He walked into the palace of Wei with square steps, bowed slightly to Cao Pi who was sitting directly above him and saluted: "Foreign minister Qin Mi, pay your respects to the emperor!"
Cao Pi clenched his fists and resisted Qin Mi's rudeness: "Get back on your feet! I don't know what Qin Shangshu has come to Wei Dynasty for. Hehe! He wants to sell your Jingguo equipment again! Okay! I promise you. .”
Qin Mi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Our Emperor said, 'Since Wei is unwilling to sell, we won't force it and just won't sell it to them.' So the foreign ministers are not here to sell it."
Depend on!
You won’t buy it after you beat us. If you don’t buy it, what can we do against Wu?
Cao Pi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then why are you here?"
Qin Mi still kept smiling: "Of course I am here for the marriage between the two countries. Our emperor has agreed to the marriage between the two countries, and I also ask the emperor to send the princess to Chang'an as soon as possible to get married."
"Hold!"
Cao Pi's eyelids twitched.
His own army was severely damaged by the heavy crossbows of Jingguo aiding Wu. Jingguo still had the nerve to bring up the matter of marriage, so he couldn't help but became furious. He pointed angrily at Qin Mi and yelled: "Jingguo aided Wu to attack our great Wei, but also... You have the nerve to bring up marriage! I’ll take your sister!"
Qin Mi's face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. He said solemnly, "The emperor made a mistake. He married your sister."
The muscles on Cao Pi's cheeks twitched.
Zhang Xiu went too far!
Xun Yu saw that Cao Pi was being led by Qin Mi and completely lost his rhythm and initiative. He immediately answered: "There is a war in Qingzhou and the domestic situation is unstable. The marriage has no choice but to be postponed. Please forgive me." Please explain to Qin Shangshu, Jingguo clearly stated that he would not participate in the war, so why did Kecheng Heavy Crossbow appear on the Qingzhou battlefield?"
Qin Mi kept smiling: "Of course it was purchased by the State of Wu. My envoy from the State of Jing also came to the State of Wei to discuss the purchase, but... the Emperor of Wei refused."
Xun Yu was neither anxious nor annoyed: "Okay, but as far as I know, Wu Guo seems to have only bought ten of them! Why did fifty of them appear on the battlefield?"
Qin Mi: "The remaining forty vehicles were given to Soochow by our emperor."
Cao Pi quickly asked: "Why?"
Qin Mi smiled happily: "This is a happy event! On the day when Wu State agreed to purchase Kecheng heavy crossbows, Queen Sun suddenly found out that she was pregnant. Our emperor was overjoyed and gave Wu forty Kecheng heavy crossbows. A round number."
"Then congratulations to Emperor Jing!" Xun Yu was calm and calm, and expressed his congratulations with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth. "The State of Wu, like our State of Wei, has a marriage relationship with the State of Jing. I also ask Emperor Jing not to favor one over the other, and to conquer the city again." Sell crossbows to our country.”
Qin Mi shook his head: "The foreign minister is here only for marriage matters and cannot decide this matter."
Cao Pi was so angry that the veins in his temples were pulsing. He was really a slut at the same time. Didn't he give Wu Guo Kecheng a heavy crossbow to force them to buy it? Now I am pretending not to buy it, which is really shameless.
Xun Yu said: "Then please ask Qin Shangshu to send a letter to Chang'an as soon as possible. Please ask Emperor Jing to offer a preferential price for the sake of the friendship between the two countries. We in Wei will buy twenty vehicles."
Qin Mi looked at Cao Pi: "Your Majesty, do you really want to buy it?"
Cao Pi said coldly: "You know whether I really want to buy it or not!"
Qin Mi smiled nonchalantly: "Our country, Jingguo, is a big trading country. Naturally, we will not refuse any commercial transactions. Since the emperor wants to buy it, there is no reason why we should not sell it. Moreover, the country of Wei is my friend of Dajing, so naturally we will give it to Dajing." The price is a friendly price, our emperor’s price is five hundred thousand taels of silver for a car.”
The price of one million for Sun Wu was because he gave away too many and had to raise the price. Zhang Xiu knew Cao Wei's situation well. He didn't have much money. If he asked for too much money and was forced to do so, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Hearing the price, Cao Pi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Sun Wu is worth one million taels.
In other words, they spent the same money as Sun Wu, but bought twice as much as Sun Wu.
Xun Yu also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's buy twenty of them for five hundred thousand taels of silver each."
