To say that the most generous among the seven kingdoms is Qi.
The envoys of the State of Qi bought three hundred thousand taels of new equipment and weapons in one go. In the words of their King of Qi, this is just the first batch. The army of the State of Qi will gradually complete the change, hoping to have long-term cooperation with the Great Zhou Dynasty. .
Of course, I’ll give you a 10% discount!
What is the concept of 10% off? A thunderbolt bomb can be sold for ten taels of gold, and a thunderbolt can be sold for forty taels of gold. If you buy these two, you will naturally have to buy a matching thunderbolt crossbow and a steel-wood structure trebuchet.
Originally, Ji Jie thought that Zhao Guoguo was following Qi State because they had suffered heavy losses. Who knew that Zhao people only spent 100,000 taels of gold. Qin State unexpectedly bought 250,000 taels of gold. The equipment is mainly lightweight thunderbolt crossbows and thunderbolt bullets.
Qin's arrow array is invincible in the world. Why do they need so many thunderbolt crossbows and thunderbolt bullets? Are they used to strengthen the cavalry's combat capabilities?
It shouldn't be. After watching the drill of the new weapons, the envoys sent by the seven countries were all deeply impressed by the lethality of the Sky-shattering Cannon. Why didn't the Qin people want it?
Forget it, I don’t want that much, just make enough money!
As for the heavy weapon such as Hong Tianlei, Ji Jie did not show it. It is very inconvenient to carry and use, although it is very lethal.
The severe cold in the north could not stop the enthusiasm of the envoys from the seven countries. Zhaocheng was full of music and singing every night.
The State of Yan also sent envoys, but they all came in carts filled with gold and silver, but they came empty-handed. Not only did they not bring a penny, they asked Ji Jie to borrow food.
Why is there not enough food in Yan State this year?
It’s impossible. They haven’t been plundered by the Rongdi and Huns this year. Logically speaking, they should have enough to eat! Could it be that King Yan deliberately acted like a bachelor? He thought I was a landlord and had a lot of money, so he gave me a lot of money!
"This year's harvest is good, and it has not been robbed. We have enough to eat, but there are not enough seeds to sow next spring!" These were the exact words of the envoy. Looking at his honest and honest look, Ji Jie thought that these words must be from King Yan. Teach him what to say word for word.
I've lost a lot of money because I have such a big brother-in-law!
Borrow, take away the hundred thousand shi immediately, stop annoying people here, and get out of here with the food.
Finally, the messenger whispered: "The eldest princess asked the younger one to send you a message, saying that she knew she was wrong and hoped you could forgive her!"
I don't hold grudges to begin with. If it weren't for Ji Lin's sake, could I readily give you one hundred thousand shi of food? King Yan alone would never get a single ounce from me even if he calls me "virtuous brother" three thousand times. Grains of grain.
"Go back and tell the eldest princess that I will pick her up next year when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming!" Ji Jie said loudly: "Also, tell her that if the Yan army is still like that bear when I go next year, it will never be the same again. Don't even think about getting help from me."
"Yes, I must bring the words to you! Well... can you borrow some new weapons..."
"Go and play with me. If you don't leave, the promise I just made to you will be null and void!"
The envoy from Yan State ran very fast, for fear that Ji Jie would regret it.
Since the beginning of winter, recruit training has been put on the agenda again. Ji Jie has set up a huge recruit training camp outside the city. All the recruits recruited from all over the Zhou Dynasty will be trained together. After completing the training, they will be assigned to throughout.
That night, Ji Jie gathered everyone together to eat hot pot.
For everyone, this is a very novel way of eating, and something has appeared years in advance without his noticing.
The meal was in full swing. Zhao Qian obviously couldn't tolerate spicy food, but she kept digging into the red soup pot to eat. In the end, she snatched Ji Jie's finally cool tea and drank it down in one breath.
"This way of eating is quite interesting!" Rouyue said with a smile. Achi next to her was holding a plate and eating like a storm. His plate was filled with cooked beef and mutton slices.
"It's delicious. I haven't eaten meat so satisfyingly for a long time..." Achi said vaguely while chewing.
Of course, hot pot can naturally stand the test, otherwise it would not be popular all over the country.
While we were enjoying our meal, a masked man in black quietly handed Sima Xueran an envelope and then left quietly. This was a spy from the Sima family.
Sima Xueran tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter, and her expression immediately changed.
"What happened?" Ji Jie asked.
"You should read it yourself, I don't know what to say!" Sima Xueran handed over the letter.
What can happen? The current diplomatic relations between Dazhou and the Seven Kingdoms are nothing short of steely. They are all pointing to buying more new weapons from here. Who would feel uncomfortable at this time?
But Ji Jie was dumbfounded as soon as he took one look at it.
It really isn’t about the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains, it’s about the desert.
Zhao Qian saw Ji Jie stunned on the spot and waved her hand in front of his eyes. He didn't react at all, so she stretched out her hand to take the letter and read: "The great changes occurred in the desert. The King of the Huns encountered Baishan at the White Deer Conference." Killer Wang ambushed him and he was already dead..."
After reading this, she stopped, and everyone's eyes focused on Rouyue and A'chi.
Rou Yue thought she heard wrongly, Zhao Qian quickly lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong. She finally understood the reason why Sima Xueran could not explain and Ji Jie was dumbfounded.
The original text at the end reads: King Baishan ambushed tens of thousands of soldiers before attending the conference, and quickly took control of the situation. Under his pressure, the tribal leaders had to elect him as the Great Chanyu King of the Huns to command all the Xiongnu tribes.
There was only one reason for Ji Jie's surprise, and that was that the scene where King Baishan swore allegiance to the King of the Huns was still vivid in his mind. It had only been a few days, but the old boy had once again attacked the King of the Huns, and this time he was even more ruthless. One move killed the Hun king.
"Is this information accurate?" Zhao Qian asked cautiously.
Just kidding, can the information obtained by the Sima family be false? Everything sent to Sima Xueran must have been verified in all aspects, and its accuracy cannot be doubted.
As for the White Deer Conference, it is an important annual festival for the Huns, almost equivalent to the Chinese New Year for the Central Plains people.
The King of Baishan came to plead guilty with a large number of tributes. The King of the Huns came in large numbers and opened the door wide to welcome his arrival, but he did not expect that Dao'er would be caught!
Rou Yue looked at Sima Xueran, hoping she would say that the information was wrong.
Sima Xueran responded with an apologetic look, and Rouyue's heart sank to the bottom of the glacier.
"A'chi, don't eat, come back with me to avenge your father!" Rou Yue finally exploded, knocking down the plate that A'chi was holding with her hands, and pulled him up to walk out.
"Wait!" Ji Jie stopped her and said, "The situation is not very clear yet. You can't leave. At least you should understand the situation first!"
"Is the situation still unclear? My father was killed by King Baishan!"
"Where are your people? Are they willing to accept the rule of King Baishan? What are the reactions of other tribesmen? You have to think strategically about going back to seek revenge. Once you understand these situations, it's not too late to go back! You Now go back like a headless fly, playing into the hands of King Baishan!"
