Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 959 Bloodless War
"Furthermore……"

Wen Zhong smiled sadly and said: "With this plan to annihilate the two countries of Korea and Wei, the people of the two countries will receive rations from our Great Wu afterwards, and they will definitely be grateful and dare not make trouble again."

"Why not?"

"This……"

Wu Zixu, Tian Rangju and other ministers couldn't help but stare at Wen Zhong in shock.

This guy's tricks are really "vicious".

I'm afraid that the Han people and the Wei people will be sold, and they will count the money for the country of Wu.

It is easy to destroy a country, but it is the most difficult to subdue the hearts of the people who have subjugated the country.

What Wenzhong has to do is to kill two birds with one stone, destroying the two countries of Korea and Wei, and gaining the support of the people of Li Shu in the two countries.

Tian Rangju frowned and said: "Dazai, this kind of trade war has precedents before, and South Korea and Wei may not necessarily be fooled."

"Do not."

Wen Zhong shook his head and said, "Zuo Sima, this is my conspiracy."

"Right now, Li Shu of Han and Wei are living in dire straits. They are forced to make ends meet and urgently need money. Zuo Sima, do you know what's going on in Wei?"

"As far as I know, the state of Wei has already added taxes to the next year, so killing chickens and taking eggs, so that the fish is exhausted, how can the state of Wei not perish?"

"..."

If such a state of Wei does not perish, it would indeed be too much for heaven.

Qingji needs some time to prepare for sending troops to attack Han and Wei.

Half a year is more than enough.

If you use the strategy given by Wenzhong, it may have unexpected results.

what effect?
Soldiers who don't fight without fighting.

What is "Yangmou"?
Even if you know that this is a trap set by the enemy, you still have to jump into it.

This will greatly accelerate the demise of the two countries of Korea and Wei, and also minimize the casualties of Wu soldiers.

In view of this, it is necessary for Qingji to plan something.

"Once."

"Chen is here!"

"You are in charge of summoning merchants from our country of Wu to secretly go to Qi, Lu, and Song to buy grain. Remember not to startle the enemy, and don't be stingy with money. Buy as much grain as possible from grain merchants from all over the world."

"promise!"

Zhi Su Nei Shi once agreed immediately.

"Fan Li."

"Chen is here!"

"You are in charge of gathering some merchants privately to purchase weapons from Korea and Wei at a high price, as much as you can, and make the weapons market in Korea and Wei be in short supply."

"promise!"

……

The capital of South Korea, Yangdi.

In the countryside, it was originally spring plowing season, but there were not many farmers working in the fields.

Smoke was lit everywhere, and there was the sound of "clinking" beating weapons.

At the gate of the village, many merchants gathered here to buy all kinds of weapons.

Spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, all kinds of weapons are available, and they are all bought by merchants at high prices!

Farmers, old and young, lined up in a long queue, waiting for the merchants to purchase the weapons they forged.

Weapons don't need to be sophisticated, as long as they can be used, at least they look good.

"One tael of gold and two swords!"

"A piece of cloth and a spear!"

"One piece of silk and two halberds!"

"Okay! I sold it!"

Merchants are very enthusiastic about buying weapons, and farmers are also actively selling weapons. This seems destined to be a "win-win" business.

Get what you need!

At this moment, Crown Prince Geng of Han took a military chariot, which was light and simple. He was originally out to inspect the capital, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning.

"what happened?"

A follower around him went to ask the farmer for a question, then turned back and told Han Geng, "Prince, the matter is like this."

"In recent days, many merchants in various parts of Korea have suddenly purchased weapons in large quantities. Whether it is guns, spears, swords, halberds, bows, arrows and axes, they have all been snapped up by merchants."

"Those businessmen basically don't care about the quality of the weapons, and buy them at high prices."

"This has led to the fact that it is still the farming season, but the farmers have started to make a living as craftsmen. Every household has forged weapons and rushed to sell them to these merchants."

"Businessmen also want every weapon."

"In view of this, I heard that I could not find a Chinese who smelted copper and iron, so I melted all my kitchen knives, hoes, sickles and other agricultural tools to re-smelt and forge weapons."

"what?"

Han Geng couldn't help but change color, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Which country are those merchants from?"

"There is the State of Wu, the State of Qi, and the State of Song. There are merchants from all countries, but most of them are from the State of Wu."

"..."

Hearing this, Han Geng couldn't help but his face darkened, and said: "The Wu people are good at forging weapons. Their equipment is excellent, the best in the world, and the output is extremely high. Why sell the weapons forged by the Koreans?"

"This is clearly Wu Manzi's scheme!"

"Is it like Guan Zhong's Hengshan conspiracy in the past? It's really a poisonous plan!"

"If Wu Manzi succeeds in his scheme, Korea will be over!"

Thinking of this, Han Geng couldn't sit still anymore, holding the sharp sword in his hand, he rushed into the crowd and kicked down a businessman who was dealing with farmers.

"Ouch! What are you doing?"

The businessman covered the back of his head, bared his teeth, and couldn't help glaring at Han Geng.

Seeing that the visitor was not doing well, the nearby merchants and their followers also surrounded him one after another.

Han Geng didn't panic in the slightest, and pulled out the saber from his waist with a "shua", and shouted loudly: "Tong Tong, stop it!"

Han Geng's followers quickly protected him in the middle.

"I am Prince Geng, who told you to come to Korea to do business and buy weapons at high prices?"

Han Geng pressed the merchant with an unkind expression.

The merchant just smiled faintly, patted the dust off his body, and said, "It turns out to be the prince, long-awaited, long-awaited!"

"I'm a businessman. A businessman makes a profit. If you don't make a profit, you can't afford it. This weapon business is very hot and profitable, so I'm going to buy weapons from you in South Korea and then sell them to other places."

"Why, prince, do you have an opinion?"

Hearing this, Han Geng gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Weapons are contraband, don't you know that?"

"Hey! Prince, I don't study much, don't lie to me."

The merchant stared and said sarcastically, "Weapons have never been contraband since ancient times."

"The real contraband is the controlled bows and armor. As for weapons such as spears, guns, swords and halberds, civilians can use them privately!"

"Prince, you are too lenient in Korea like this!"

"you!"

Before Han Geng could speak, the surrounding Korean Li Shus all joined in their support.

"That's right! Ordinary weapons can be forged by ordinary people, and they can also be used privately!"

"Prince, we finally found a way to make money, how can you stop it?"

"Don't get in the way of our business..."

Han Geng looked around, seeing the "ugly faces" of the Li Shus, he couldn't help stamping his feet, and said indignantly, "You mountain peasants! What do you know?"

"They were sent by Wu Manzi to entrap the second and third sons, and to entrap me in Korea!"

"How can you speak for these profiteers?"
