"More than 300,000 people all rushed to ask for permission to go to Qin. The King of Qin refused, fearing that the friendship between the two families would be ruined."
"But the people are forcing each other to die, and many people even commit suicide by jumping into the Yellow River!"
"The King of Qin is kind and kind, how can he watch innocent people lose their lives in vain? In desperation, I can only agree."
“It’s really hard to refuse such hospitality!”
As he spoke, Wei Qian stamped his feet and beat his chest, feeling extremely helpless.
He turned to look at Cao Cao and made a guarantee with his hands.
"But please rest assured, King Wei, King Qin will do his best to resettle these people!"
Cao Cao and Guo Jia's expressions darkened upon hearing this.
Is Wei Jian lying here?
Unless the two of them are fools, they would believe Wei Xi's lies.
Guo Jia was even more furious.
It was just as he expected!
Wei Qiang said he would return it, but in fact he had already thought of a reason not to return it.
The people would rather die than return. What can Liu Zhang do?
"Why..."
Guo Jia, who is extremely intelligent, can't think of anything to refute.
The people were saved by Liu Zhang, and the Xiongnu were destroyed by Liu Zhang. The people stayed voluntarily, so why should he ask for it?
Are you thick-skinned?
It's just that Guo Jia can figure it out, but Cao Cao can't.
Just now I was thinking about how much these more than 300,000 people would accomplish after returning to Wei.
"Bo Xi, these people are the people of Bingzhou, and they are all the people of Gu! Now that the King of Qin has taken them away, what is this?"
"What decision-making power do the people have? Can't King Qin just drive them to Bingzhou?"
Wei Jian looked at Cao Cao with disdain.
"King Wei really made a good plan!"
"Our Qin State spent money and food, dispatching more than 100,000 troops to quell the Xiongnu who had been causing trouble to the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Forget it without asking for merit, and let the King of Qin get the reputation of driving away the people and not caring about their lives?"
Cao Cao was immediately at a loss for words, so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
Wei Qian's words hit the depths of his soul.
Cao Cao was obviously very shameless and could not refute.
Liu Zhang is not his father, so why should he be so nice to him?
"But..."
"Stop it."
Wei Jian stopped Cao Cao and refused to let him continue.
Then he faced west and bowed his hands.
"The King of Qin is really wise. He had already thought that the King of Wei would take these people by force."
"Forget it, King Qin has already told me that if you want to return the people, it's not impossible."
Cao Cao didn't care about his shame and asked quickly.
"how?"
"Well, as long as the King of Wei provides the military expenses for our troops this time, the King of Wei can hire our Qin army to attack the Xiongnu."
Cao Cao and Guo Jia both had black lines on their faces.
This seems to provide a solution, but in fact it is a dead end!
Who doesn't know now that Cao Cao is so poor that he can't even open the pot?
However, Cao Cao did not give up and still asked questions.
"How much military spending?"
Wei Jian smiled.
"Haha, not much."
"This time the King of Qin dispatched an army of 150,000 and civilians of 300,000. It cost about 10 million dan in money and food. In addition, the weapons, armor, and horses were damaged and were worth about 5 million dan."
When Cao Cao heard this, he almost fainted from fright.
For those who didn’t know, they thought Liu Zhang had raised an army to overwhelm the country and launched a war to destroy the country.
A total of only ten days of work, and it requires fifteen million stones?
Is the Qin army an animal? It can be eaten so much!
"Bo Xi, you are not..."
Just as Cao Cao was about to express his dissatisfaction, Wei Jian interrupted him again.
"King Wei, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"besides?"
Wei Jian nodded, his smile getting stronger.
"All the people have been moved to Liangzhou, and it has cost more than 10 million dan. If we move from Liangzhou back to Bingzhou, it is estimated that nearly 20 million dan will be needed."
"Let's do this. I dare to make my own decision for once. The King of Wei only needs to provide 30 million stones, and I will agree on behalf of the King of Qin to pay for the relocation of the people. How about it?"
Looking at Wei Qian with a sincere smile in front of him, Cao Cao wanted to strangle him to death.
Before, one million stones of grain and grass were borrowed from Liu Zhang. Where can I find 45 million stones now?
Even if he went to steal or rob, Cao Cao didn't know who to rob or steal.
Furthermore, Cao Cao could clearly distinguish the importance between 45 million stones and 300,000 people.
Without these more than 300,000 people, the State of Wei would still exist.
But without 45 million stones, grain and grass, Wei was not far from being destroyed.
There is no choice but to give up on the people. There is no way out.
But Cao Cao was unwilling to give in. Why did he let Liu Zhang get an advantage and still behave?
"Bo Xi, I can't get 45 million stones."
Wei Jian spread his hands and showed no mercy.
"Then please forgive me for not being able to do anything..."
Wei Cang's wantonness made Cao Cao furious, but he did not dare to do anything to Wei Cang.
This is the confidence of powerful countries and envoys of great powers.
Even the dignified King Wei did not dare to deal with it easily.
"Hey...it's all my fault for being incompetent!"
Cao Cao changed his tone and put the blame on himself.
"When these people arrive in Liangzhou, they don't know if they can adapt and live a better life..."
It's just that this disguised appearance of benevolence and righteousness not only failed to gain Wei Jian's respect, but made Wei Jian even more contemptuous.
Cao Cao can't even pretend.
No matter how bad the Qin state is, is it still worse than being enslaved by the Huns?
"I admire the kindness of King Wei! How about this, King Wei can give me some money and food for me to take back!"
"I promise that I will distribute it to the people in full, and inform you in detail about these gifts from King Wei!"
"I wonder what King Wei wants?"
Cao Cao was speechless again.
This time I shot myself in the foot.
"King Wei, forget it!"
"The King of Qin is kind and virtuous. I think he will properly resettle these people!"
Guo Jia quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
If Cao Cao continues to act recklessly, King Wei's face will be completely lost!
Cao Cao nodded and said nothing more.
Guo Jia turned to look at Wei Qi.
"Mr. Wei, do you have anything else to do when you come to Yecheng?"
When Wei Jian heard this, he immediately put away his smile.
"Is there anything else I have to do? King Wei and Military Advisor Guo don't know?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was instantly frozen.
Especially Cao Cao and Guo Jia, who had a guilty conscience, were extremely uncomfortable.
After a while, Guo Jia forced himself to calm down.
"Mr. Wei, what does this... mean?"
Wei Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and his face became increasingly colder.
"Commander Guo, King Wei just said that the people of Bingzhou are the people under the command of King Wei, so I would like to ask, are the officials of Bingzhou the officials of King Wei?"
