Not long after Hangu Pass was burned down and before Jia Xu's letter for help was delivered to Yecheng, Qin Hao met a special envoy, Wu Yong, in Yecheng.
After Song Jiang died in battle, Liangshan's strength came under Wang Mang's command, and was completely annexed by Wang Mang after the Beihai victory. Wu Yong also completely surrendered to Wang Mang at that time.
After the great victory in Beihai, Wang Mang disappeared. Qin Hao didn't know where Wang Mang had gone, but he never expected that Wang Mang would lead the remaining army to fight against Sanhan.
Wu Yong's arrival gave Qin Hao the news that Wang Mang was in the three Koreas and wanted to unify them.
In this regard, Qin Hao just wanted to say that Wang Mang is indeed the originator of time travellers, and he does not play according to the routine at all!
The Korean Peninsula in this era, like Japan, was still an uncivilized land. Even if it was really unified by Wang Mang, it would be difficult to pose a threat to the unified Central Plains dynasty.
Logically speaking, with Wang Mang's situation, it is impossible to think of this, but he still chose to embark on the journey of conquering the three Koreas, which also made Qin Hao somewhat confused about Wang Mang.
Perhaps it was to enjoy the honor of becoming the first Han Chinese to unify the three Koreas. Qin Hao analyzed secretly in his heart.
You know, during the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang sent millions of troops and defeated the entire country to pieces, but failed to completely surrender to North Korea.
After the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty, although Li Shimin defeated Goguryeo many times and even finally destroyed Goguryeo, he still failed to completely occupy the Korean Peninsula.
No matter which unified dynasty it was, it never completely conquered Korea.
Therefore, in the hearts of travelers like Qin Hao, conquering North Korea and even Japan is definitely a matter of great honor.
Of course, Qin Hao also wants to completely conquer North Korea, but he has not yet unified the world. North Korea is Japan, so it can only be placed under the same umbrella.
Qin Hao was still very surprised that Wang Mang would take the initiative to send him over. After all, there was nothing to talk about between the two parties. But when he heard Wu Yong's intention, Qin Hao suddenly laughed angrily.
"Did I, the king, hear correctly?"
Qin Hao looked funny and said jokingly: "Wang Mangjing sent you to ask for weapons from me? Is he out of his mind?"
Wu Yong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said calmly: "Your Majesty, my lord is willing to declare himself a vassal to the imperial court and conquer the three Koreas for the King of Qin, so that the Han flag will be permanently planted in the land of the three Koreas."
"Haha, even if Wang Mang is willing to surrender, it still depends on whether I am willing to accept it."
Qin Hao sneered: "I will never forget Ran Min's hatred."
As soon as Qin Hao said this, Li Jing and other generals who were friends with Ran Min below also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They still wanted to avenge Ran Min, but they did not want their lord to accept Wang Mang's surrender.
"Your Majesty, if my lord unites the three Koreas, he can contain the Manchu Qing Dynasty for your Majesty, and then Youzhou will face much less pressure from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Your Majesty, if you give up some weapons that are useless to the Qin army, you can exchange for the stability of the entire Youzhou. This business can make a profit without losing money."
Hearing Wu Yong's words, Qin Hao sneered again: "That will only happen if he can unify them. I will never give Wang Mang any support."
Wu Yong couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. He had said everything he needed to say, and his words were almost worn out, but Qin Hao still didn't know what to say. He was simply an impossible character.
Wu Yong began to complain in his heart that Wang Mang had come, how could he have such naive ideas? Not to mention that without the ordnance, even he might have risked his life.
"Report...to my lord, urgent news from Liaodong."
"Send it over."
"promise."
Qin Hao did not shy away from Wu Yong. He took the letter directly in the hall and started reading it. Wu Yong could not see it and did not dare to read it anyway.
Only halfway through, Qin Hao's expression suddenly changed, and he saw it read: The Manchu Qing Dynasty is preparing to send more troops to Youzhou, and the troops to be mobilized are the armies on the Three Korean Frontlines.
Wu Yong just knelt in the hall for more than ten minutes. Qin Hao didn't speak, and he didn't dare to move. His legs were numb.
"Get up." Qin Hao said.
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and quickly got up, only to find that his legs were completely numb and he collapsed on the ground.
When the generals of the Qin army saw this, they all laughed and laughed at Wu Yong for making a fool of himself.
Qin Hao had no intention of laughing at Wu Yong, but instead said calmly: "It is absolutely impossible to defraud a large amount of ordnance from me with just a name of surrender.
Go back and tell Wang Mang that I have weapons and weapons, and there are too many to use them all, but I won’t give them to him for free. If you want equipment, just buy it with real money and silver. Wang Mang should not be short of money now."
Wu Yong looked at Qin Hao blankly, the shock in his heart could not be greater. How could he know that his lord was not short of money?
Although the people of the three Han Dynasties were poor, the royal families and aristocratic families were very wealthy. Wang Mang destroyed several countries and naturally seized a large amount of gold and silver. However, the surrounding countries blocked them, which also made Wang Mang unable to spend money on the gold mountain.
go out.
Seeing Qin Hao's uncooperative attitude, Wu Yong knew that the equipment was definitely out of reach, but Qin Hao was willing to sell the equipment, which made Wu Yong secretly relieved.
Wu Yong knew that his lord would definitely be willing to buy it, because this opportunity was once in a lifetime, and only by taking advantage of this opportunity to strengthen himself could he finally unify the three Koreas.
Therefore, Wu Yong made his own decision and agreed for Wang Mang, and discussed the purchase of ordnance with Qin Hao.
But after seeing Qin Hao's quotation, Wu Yong almost vomited blood.
"Your Majesty, this price is not very reasonable, right?"
Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said, what he bought was the equipment of Han and Zhao army, not the new equipment of Qin army. How could it be so expensive?
"If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, get out." Qin Hao said coldly.
Wu Yong stopped talking immediately. He knew that Qin Hao was trying to kill him as an unjust enemy. But at this time, the force he belonged to was really in urgent need of weapons, and there was no other way to purchase them, so even if he knew he was being killed,
He could only grit his teeth and endure it.
After Wu Yong agreed to buy, Qin Hao was also a little uninterested and didn't want to continue to look at Wu Yong's annoying face, so he asked Liu Bowen to chat with Wu Yong about the details.
As soon as Wu Yongcai left, Li Jing immediately stood up and asked: "My lord, why did you agree to sell arms to Wang Mang?"
"The construction of Jizhou and Qingbei is in need of money. This is a business that someone has come to ask for. It's a guaranteed profit without losing money. Why refuse?" Qin Hao said.
Li Jing was immediately speechless. His lord was truly worthy of being a member of the Qin family. He didn't even care about doing business during the war, and he even did business with his sworn enemy.
"Another point is that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are preparing to transfer the troops from the Three Korean Fronts to Youzhou. Once they are really transferred, it will definitely increase the difficulty for our army to conquer Youzhou."
A glimmer of light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "After Wang Mang buys ordnance from our army, he will definitely expand his army aggressively and then attack the three Korean lands.
The three Koreas are the forbidden areas of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Nurhachi will never watch Wang Mang unify the three Koreas, and will definitely divide his troops to suppress Wang Mang. By then, the pressure on our army in Youzhou will be much less."
All the generals suddenly realized that the Lord had such a plan to do business with Wang Mang.
But selling the army to Wang Mang now is indeed an act of killing three birds with one stone.
One, Wang Mang was brutally killed and he let out a bad breath.
Second, a large amount of money can be obtained, which can be used for the development of Jizhou and Qingbei.
Third, the captured Han and Zhao standard equipment was not used by the Qin army at all. It was still gathering dust in the warehouse. In the end, it had no other purpose than to be remade. Now selling it to Wang Mang can be regarded as turning waste into treasure.
