Chapter 165 War Horse Trading
In the gentle countryside, the four guests and host drank and chatted happily, talking only about romance and not state affairs, just like they had been close friends for many years. No hostility could be seen, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
But there is something different among these four people. Wang Dun is silent and rarely talks to the women around him. He pours himself a drink and picks up his own food, which makes the two young women who are accompanying him feel quite at a loss.
.This reminds Yunfeng of an anecdote. Once, Wang Dun
Went to Wang Kai's house with Wang Dao as a guest, Wang Kai ordered the beauty to drink wine, and ordered that if the guest did not drink, he would be killed! When the news reached Wang Dun, Wang Dun refused to accept the invitation, which made the beautiful lady who drank the wine frightened and lost her temper. However, Wang Dun
If you still ignore it, you can see that you are a cold-blooded person.
Director Wang, on the other hand, was just the opposite. He cared for her, took Wang Dun's wine and drank until she was very drunk, thus saving the beauty's life. It was the same at the banquet today. Director Wang laughed, hugged her from left to right, and kept saying the same thing.
"Little beauty, careful heart" and the like, she shouted happily, how could she look like an important court official or a famous person from Jiangdong? But Yunfeng couldn't help but think of a famous poem: Mandarin ducks sleep in pairs at night, a tree of pear blossoms
Pressure Begonia!
Qian Feng behaved like a modest gentleman, with a kind smile on his face. He had extensive knowledge from all over the world, and often made everyone at the table listen with interest. He was also strict in observing etiquette, and was not frivolous with the two beauties around him, making it impossible for people to find fault.
Yunfeng let nature take its course and focused on listening. Although he did not flirt with the two women, he accepted them calmly when they took the initiative to flirt with her and leaned over her plump breasts. However, his heart was filled with ups and downs.
, sighing secretly
There are indeed a lot of talents in the Jiangdong area. Take Qian Feng for example. Although he is not well-known, his conversation and behavior are decent and orderly, his words are sincere and not artificial, and he manages the army in an orderly manner. He can definitely become Wang Dun's chief planner.
Not accidental.
On the other hand, there is no such person around him. Although Zhuge Fei can make suggestions, he is disabled and has great limitations. He can't help but think that Yunfeng has some intentions of recruiting Qian Feng. In his memory,
, Wang Dun was defeated, and Qian Feng could not escape death. At that time, it was the time to recruit.
Yunfeng was thinking secretly, but Qian Feng raised his head and glanced at Wang Dun, who nodded.
"Papa papa" Qian Feng clapped his hands a few more times, and as if they had received the signal, many women bowed and left. Soon, except for the fragrance of an empty room, silence returned to the hall.
Director Wang cupped his hands and said, "General Yun. Please interrupt me for now. Please don't take offense."
Yun Feng's heart moved. He returned the greeting and said, "You're so polite, Master. I'm grateful for the hospitality. General, please speak up if you have anything to say."
Director Wang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "General Yun is quick to speak. I will put it bluntly. A few days ago, in the court hall, I mentioned that Chaotingyu and General Yun were trading war horses, but General Yun was unwilling to exchange tea. So,
, I want to know what General Yun needs to exchange for?"
Yunfeng also said: "The final general would like to ask for a fine iron, I wonder if the court will agree to it?"
"Oh," Director Wang said hesitantly: "The output of fine iron is not high, and the court is also in short supply. This... is indeed very difficult."
Qian Feng took it and asked, "If the court is willing to exchange grain and rice for war horses, what does the general think?"
Yun Feng said sternly: "To be honest with you, our Qin and Liang states have had good weather in the past two years and have had bumper harvests year after year, so there is no shortage of food. However, it was a last resort to exchange yu for gold and iron. I must be the Prime Minister, Da Situ
General Qian should be fully aware of the current world situation.
Qinzhou borders Zhao State. Although our army fought with Zhao State twice and wiped out a large number of its effective forces, it should not be invaded within three to five years. However, Zhao State is now facing a full-scale attack by Jie Zhao. If nothing goes wrong, within three years
Inside, Chang'an will fall! At that time, Jie Zhao may march westward to the two states of Qin and Liang.
One hundred thousand elite cavalry, if not prepared in advance, it may be difficult to resist. If the two states of Qin and Liang are lost, Bashu will also be unprotected. By that time, the upper reaches of the river will be occupied, and Jie and Zhao will attack from both sides, and the court is afraid that they will
We are faced with an extremely difficult situation where we have both left and right."
Qian Feng said with emotion: "Why did the general judge that Liu Yao could not last three years?"
Yun Feng said solemnly: "Shi Le's troops were divided into two groups and went all the way south to threaten General Zhenxi. According to my guess, the intention was to prevent General Zhenxi from going north to rescue Liu Yao. Of course, if a fighter opportunity can be found, he will also take the initiative to attack.
This is a partial teacher.
The main force was led by Shi Hu, who took Murong Huang's 50,000 Xianbei tribe and marched westward to Luoyang. Shi Hu and Murong Huang were both talented generals, and the Luoyang defender was Liu Yue, King of Zhongshan. This general had fought with this man once in Shanggui.
, Liu Yue is indecisive and cannot be used for much purpose. The fall of Luoyang is a foregone conclusion! Although there are four passes in Guanzhong,
It is dangerous and cannot be easily entered. However, if Shihu sneaks across the Yellow River through Pubanjin (today's Yongji City, Shanxi Province), he can bypass Tongguan and ride directly to the city of Chang'an. In this case, the Zhao State will be in danger! Therefore, in the end, iron materials will be exchanged.
To build equipment, resist Jiehu's westward advance, and guard the northwest gate for the imperial court!"
The faces of the three Wang Dun and others have changed dramatically. Although what Yunfeng said is a bit sensational, the court's military strength is mainly distributed in the Jianghuai and Jingzhou areas. It is indeed possible for Shi Le to avoid the truth and attack the south of the Yangtze River in a large circle from the northwest.
There was silence in the hall for a while, but Wang Dun snorted coldly: "General Yun really has a lotus tongue. No wonder he dared to make an appointment with me and his brother to fight in the palace square. However, I would like to ask, General Yun in
When Hanzhong built a navy boat, could it be that he did not have the intention to spy on the court?"
Yunfeng thought that it was you who was spying on the court. But on the surface, he made a look of grievance and saluted: "The prime minister has indeed wronged the general by saying this. The general built a navy, which means going to sea. The overseas world is vast.
Rich in resources, gold and silver are scarce in China
, Copper is abundant overseas. Moreover, the overseas natives are stupid and lazy, and are very easy to be forced into labor. What the general did was just to make a small fortune. Moreover, with the ability of the general, he could only build a hundred warships at most.
How can it pose a threat to the court?"
The three people looked at each other. Although they all had reservations about the beautiful overseas life described by Yunfeng, they knew in their hearts that they could not find any excuse. This person had a lot of reasons, and Wang Dun really needed a war horse.
Qian Feng bowed his hand to Yunfeng and asked: "I wonder how the general can exchange it? How much iron can be exchanged for one war horse?"
Yunfeng pondered and said: "How about exchanging a war horse for twenty steel-making knives weighing twenty kilograms and one hundred kilograms? If it is only fifty kilograms, exchange forty. If it is fine iron ingots, exchange it for one thousand kilograms."
"Hey!" Qian Feng waved his hand and said, "General Yun is joking? The court cannot afford this price..."
Suddenly, a debate began in the hall. The price of jingte or steel-making knives in Jiangdong was cheaper than that in Liangzhou. There was no large-scale iron ore exploration in Liangzhou, so the output was smaller and the price was naturally higher. The focus of the debate was Yunfeng’s insistence.
War horses and fine iron are all settled according to Jiangdong standards, because the war horses are lucky.
He went to Jiangdong and bought jingtai in Jiangnan. Qian Feng, on the contrary, proposed to use the price of Liangzhou as the standard, transport the jingtai to the northwest, and buy war horses locally. The two had a fierce confrontation, and finally gave in and decided to exchange a war horse for ten
Six steel-making knives weighing 20 kilograms each, or fine iron ingots weighing 800 kilograms.
After reaching an agreement, satisfaction showed on both sides' faces. Director Wang smiled and asked, "How about exchanging 10,000 war horses first? For the court, Wang Jie, the governor of Jingzhou, can come forward. I wonder who General Yun will appoint?"
