Chapter 216 You Don't Know How Terrifying Your Enemy Is
When Guo Kai arrived in Xinzheng, enemies from the wolf tribe appeared in the palace of Zhaodu at almost the same time.
However, this enemy from the wolf clan became a guest in the Zhao Palace.
"The shanyu of the wolf clan wants to cooperate with our country, Zhao?" Zhao Wangyan asked the wolf clan envoy with some interest.
"Yes, King Zhao, Shanyu intends to cooperate with the State of Zhao to jointly resist the State of Qin." Touman, the envoy of the wolf tribe, replied.
"What about the conditions? I don't think the wolf clan is such a helpful clan." Zhao Wangyan said without much joy.
"Money, silk, population and land, but King Zhao can rest assured that by cooperating with our wolf clan, what Zhao has paid will be worth it." Touman said.
"Really? Since we all have to pay, why didn't I choose Qin to cooperate? Qin is far stronger than the wolf clan." Zhao Wangyan said.
"If the State of Zhao cooperates with the Wolf Clan, it may not be able to defeat the State of Qin, but if it cooperates with the State of Qin, after paying a huge price, it can enjoy peace. The difference between them is clear." Zhao Wangyan said.
"King Zhao didn't say much. Qin is stronger than our wolf clan, but Qin's appetite is much greater than ours. In the past two hundred years of war with Zhao, our wolf clan has
, It’s just to rob all kinds of materials needed for their own survival. For Zhao State, it will always be just a border trouble." Touman said.
"And what about the State of Qin? The appetite of the State of Qin is not comparable to that of our wolf tribe. The State of Qin wants to destroy the State of Zhao and eradicate your ancestral temple and state, King Zhao. By cooperating with our wolf tribe, the State of Zhao will only lose a piece of meat."
Peace can be obtained. However, when the State of Zhao cooperates with the State of Qin, although it can obtain temporary peace, the final result is at the expense of the State of Zhao. I think King Zhao will make such a wise choice." Touman said without forgetting.
Observing Zhao Wangyan's expression.
The cooperation between the Wolf Clan and Zhao State is extremely important to Touman, not only because he initiated the cooperation with Zhao State, and whether it can successfully affect his status and prestige in the Wolf Clan, but also because in his heart
That plan, that plan to make the wolf clan stronger.
Touman is very aware of the advantages of the wolf clan, and also knows the shortcomings of the wolf clan. Only when the wolf clan makes up for its own shortcomings can it become truly powerful, and there is only one way to do this, and that is to use Hufu riding and shooting like King Zhao Wuling.
In this way, the wolf clan must also learn from the military organization and weapon advantages of its neighbors.
And now Zhao Guo is an excellent partner.
"You might as well tell the price of the wolf clan directly, Guhao can consider it." Zhao Wangyan said.
"The three cities in the northern part of Yanmen County belong to the Wolf Clan. In addition, King Zhao also needs to give me 3,000 craftsmen from the Zhao Kingdom. Among them, there must be no less than 1,000 blacksmiths and 3,000 women. 500 of them must be
The maids of the Zhao Palace, 10,000 slaves, and 500,000 kilograms of iron. At the same time, Zhao must also open a customs market in Yanmen County with our wolf tribe. In the gate city, anything can be traded, such as our wolf tribe’s
Leather, animal sinews, ironware from Zhao, refined salt." Touman said.
"It's rare for the wolf tribe to have people like you." Zhao Wangyan re-examined the wolf tribe in front of him, King Zuo Xian said.
"King Zhao should be able to hear that our wolf clan is very sincere for this cooperation. It is not difficult for Zhao to meet these conditions," Tou Man said.
"If Guzhen agrees to your conditions, he may have to face a more powerful wolf clan after repelling the Qin Kingdom." Zhao Wangyan said.
As the King of Zhao, King Zhao Yan didn't know much about the wolf clan. All the kings of Zhao in the past were wary of this evil neighbor.
The conditions proposed by Touman did not seem to be harsh, but there were two that made Zhao Wangyan difficult to accept for a while, and that was Guanshi and the craftsmen.
Over the years, a large part of the reason why the Zhao Kingdom's border cavalry has been able to keep the Wolf Clan's 300,000 troops from the northern border with a force of 100,000 is because the equipment of the Zhao Kingdom's border cavalry is far superior to that of the Wolf Clan army.
.
The people of the Wolf Clan don't know how to make iron, and their casting skills are even more difficult to describe. If Zhao Guo agrees to the two conditions of Guanshi and craftsmen, then Zhao Wangyan can even imagine that in ten years, the Wolf Clan will have 300,000
It would be a huge disaster for Zhao State to be able to compete with the elite cavalry on the side of Zhao State. At that time, the wolf clan would be a real evil wolf with claws and claws, instead of being just called a wolf like here now.
A vicious dog.
However, if we really cede territory to the Qin State and seek peace now, will the Zhao State survive for another ten years? Zhao Wangyan thought helplessly in his heart.
"Whether the wolf clan will be strong in the future is only a matter of the future. However, if King Zhao cannot make the right choice now, Zhao Guo may not be able to see the future. At that time, whether the wolf clan will be strong or not, for Zhao Guo and Zhao Guo
Does it still make sense for Wang to come?" Touman provocatively asked with a hint of joking.
Zhao Wangyan's face instantly turned ugly, because Touman's words hit the very thing in his heart that he least wanted to face.
"I still have to think about the alliance between Zhao and the Wolf Clan." Zhao Wangyan could only say impatiently in the end.
"King Zhao, there is not much time left for you. The army of our wolf clan is already gathering. Moreover, when I came to Zhaodu, one of my wolf clan also went to Xinzheng. Your Majesty, you can refuse to join us.
Cooperation, but that may not be the case with Qin." Tou Man said.
"Ha, if you say that, I won't be anxious anymore." Zhao Wangyan did not show the slightest panic because of Touman's words, but instead felt more calm.
"What does King Zhao mean by this?" Touman asked in confusion. Could it be that he had used the wrong method? At this time, wouldn't throwing Qin as a bargaining chip make King Zhao feel more anxious? Businessmen among the seven countries
But I am used to using this method.
"You don't understand Qin Wangzheng. It is impossible for someone as proud as him to cooperate with a foreign tribe like your wolf clan. Gu may be forced to cooperate with your wolf clan, but Qin Wangzheng has no such possibility." King Zhao
Yandao.
Although Zhao Wangyan hated Qin very much and had a deep hatred for Ying Zheng, after experiencing the trip to Xinzheng, Zhao Wangyan had to admit that Ying Zheng was the envy of all the kings of the five countries. Such a person
As the king of Qin, he perfectly confirmed a certain pursuit in Zhao Wangyan's heart.
How could such a king cooperate with the wolf clan? The wolf clan would think too highly of itself. Zhao Wangyan thought in his heart.
"The government of the King of Qin?" Touman asked in surprise.
"Now I have some intention of cooperating with your wolf tribe." Just when Touman thought that he had made a mistake, Zhao Wangyan softened his tone.
What is going on? Touman became even more puzzled.
You wolf clan think you can take advantage of our Zhao country at this time, but you don't know what a terrible enemy you will face. Zhao Wangyan thought deeply, and the look he looked at Touman became much less disgusting, because he found that
, if the wolves join in, they will only lose money.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wangyan felt a lot more balanced in his heart.
