Shuhan

Chapter 352 Jiangdong Erqiao, taking the heat from the bottom of the cauldron!
"My Highness indeed wants to use troops against Badi. However, as the King of the Yi people with the seventh surname, the king is really willing to help my Highness achieve this goal?"

Use troops against Badi?
Nadu Yi forced a smile on his face and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use troops against Badi, just to get Badi's obedience, collect taxes, and even recruit troops. If the little chief can get the help of the Han army, he will definitely become His Highness the Crown Prince." Watch out for Badi, the little chief will kill anyone who disobeys His Highness!"

In the barbaric land of Badi, some barbarians live in the plains, some live in deep mountains and old forests, and some live in caves on cliffs. The Han people cannot control these various barbarians.

This is why since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Han people's control of Badi has mainly been to restrain and directly occupy it.

the reason is simple.
not worth it.

It was a waste of money to send troops, and even if Badi was captured in the end, it was still not worth it.

The extra money and food you pay is not proportional to what you get. In addition, ruling Badi also requires troops. The barbarians in Badi often cause chaos and it is difficult to produce, so it is better to leave it to the chieftain.

In Du Yi's view, this Han prince must also use him to control Badi.

He can take advantage of this opportunity to achieve a comeback and become the co-owner of the people, or even the master of Badi!

Zhang Bao finally understood what this person meant.

Do you want me to send troops to help you seize power, and then the Han people collect taxes as before?

Then why should I send troops?

Zhang Bao's face darkened slightly and he said, "Based on this alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you get what you want."

Not enough conditions?

Du Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "I am willing to give up all the plain land to the general and increase the annual taxes by [-]%. How about that?"

Du Yi looked at Zhang Bao with burning eyes. In his opinion, the conditions he gave were already very good.

However, Zhang Bao disagreed.

Plain land?

Still need to give in?
As for taxes, what can be done with an extra [-]%?
I don't even look down on this little money, let alone my Highness.

Zhang Bao still shook his head.

"not enough!"

not enough?

Du Yi was anxious.

"General, the little chief has retreated again and again. I believe that others will not have the same conditions as me."

"Hahaha~"

Zhang Bao burst out laughing as if he had heard some joke.

"Why is the general laughing?"

Du Yi's brows were furrowed and his expression was not very good.

"Do you think I'm here to negotiate terms with you? Without you to conquer the barbarians, I, a big man, would have to conquer Badi. With you to conquer the barbarians, I, a great man, would still have to conquer Badi. You take yourself too seriously."

Taking it too seriously?
But
But you have to rely on me!
I am the King of Yi of the Seven Surnames. I can subjugate the Yi people with justifiable authority. I can help you take Ba Di!
You Han people have countless fertile lands, why do you still need mountainous and forested lands like Badi?
However, when Du Yi's eyes turned rapidly, Zhang Bao had already stood up and walked slowly out of the living room.

"Wait, General!"

Seeing this scene, Yi Wang Duyi could not sit still, so he quickly called Zhang Bao to stop him.

"What? Do you have anything else to say to me?"

Du Yi bit his lip tightly. He thought about it again and again, and finally said, "I wonder how far the general wants Xiao Wang to go before he is willing to help me win Ba Di?"

Without the support of the Han people, he only had a few hundred people under his command. Not to mention maintaining the luxurious life of the seven Yi kings, the Yi king who gave it to Danqu could not tell when his head would be chopped off by his subordinates.

Although this Han general is hateful, his words are correct.

The Han people could continue to conquer Badi without him, but he lost the support of the Han people when he conquered the barbarians, and he was like a lost dog.

Zhang Bao stared at Du Yi. How could Zhang Bao not know what he was thinking?
It's nothing more than pretending to be a snake now, waiting to negotiate terms after taking Ba Di, or even betraying the enemy.

My father was indeed right. This man was unruly and difficult to obey.

But Zhang Bao did not refuse the surrender of Du Yi, the seven-surnamed Yi king. Instead, he said: "I can help you capture Ba Di, and I can even make you Ba Wang, but there are a few conditions that you need to agree to."

King Ba?

Duyi's eyes suddenly lit up.

If you grant me the title of King of Ba, doesn't this mean that you are handing over the entire land of Ba to me?
And such a good thing?
He immediately expressed his position and said: "General, let alone a few conditions, there are dozens of conditions, and I agree."

If he becomes King of Ba, then he is no longer the master of Ba land.

"It won't be too late for you to agree after I finish speaking."

Seeing that Du Yi had calmed down, Zhang Bao continued: "First, the king wants to hand over military power."

military power?

Du Yi was stunned.

"It's just that I don't have any soldiers. How can I help His Highness win Badi? After winning Badi, how can I help His Highness defend Badi?"

Zhang Bao said coldly: "This is not something you have to consider."

Without giving Du Yi time to buffer, Zhang Bao continued: "The king cannot leave Langzhong without His Highness's order. This is also for the sake of the king's safety."

Is this for my safety?

This is treating me like a canary.

Bawang Bawang?

Am I just a puppet emotionally?

Du Yi's face became worse and worse, but Zhang Bao seemed not to notice and continued: "The third condition is that the king must cooperate with our Han army at critical moments and must not question or disobey our Han army's actions. .”

After agreeing to these three conditions, he really became a puppet.

Du Yi gritted his teeth, straightened his chest, and said: "I'm sorry that the little chief cannot agree to the general's request. If these three conditions are agreed to, then how is the little chief different from a puppet? What else does this King Ba deserve? mean?"

Zhang Bao said coldly: "Of course it's interesting. If you become King Ba, you will be able to live a life of glory and wealth, with fiefdom and food. Wouldn't it be wonderful to marry as many beauties as you want?"

After taking a breath, Zhang Bao stared at Du Yi coldly and said, "Isn't it much better than the king's current fate like a lost dog?"

Good is good.
It's just that I'm not reconciled!
Zhang Bao patted his butt and said without any extra emotion in his tone: "When I give your Majesty three days to think about it, if you still haven't figured it out in three days, then the matter will be dropped. This King Ba, if Your Majesty doesn't do it, Presumably someone else will do it.”

After saying that, Zhang Bao walked straight out of the guest house regardless of Du Yi's attempts to stay.

Only the seventh-surnamed Yi Wang Duzhi was left with a gloomy expression, his fists clenched and his teeth chattering.
These three conditions are Zhang Bao's bottom line.

After all, if you don't agree to these three conditions, you won't be able to control Duyi completely. Once he has the military power, it will be too late to control him.

Besides
When the Han people planned Badi, they wanted long-term peace and stability in Badi, and they also wanted the population of Badi.

As the king of Yi, would he be willing to watch his subjects become slaves of the Han people?
Since he still has dignity, he is not the one Zhang Bao chooses.

He Zhang Bao.
What you need is a dog, a dog that can only wag its tail.

As for whether this dog can bite, and whether its nose works?

It doesn't matter.

Just be obedient.

Obviously, Zhang Bao was not satisfied with Du Yi tonight.

If you can't save the barbarians by yourself, there will always be someone who will become a traitor.

Bawang Bawang.

Even if he has no real power, he is still King Ba, right?

A lifetime of glory and wealth, he is not afraid that no one will do it.

Zhang Bao's move put Du Yi in a dilemma.

And in Jiangdong.

Zhuge Ke's life was equally difficult.

This is a search for beauties, but how can such beauties be so easy to collect?

And in order to prevent Liu Chan from discovering his abnormality, Zhuge Ke asked for a perfect body, but this perfect body and a beauty would be too difficult to find.

After searching for a long time, I found a few.

But these few couldn't complete his mission.

Therefore, he went to King Wu's palace early to meet Sun Quan.

"My lord, I pay my respects to the king."

Sun Quan was sitting on the main seat, his expression as usual, but his eyes always looked at Zhuge Ke with a strange light.

Seeing such a look, Zhuge Ke even lowered his body to the ground with his butt raised very high.After a while, Sun Quan, who was sitting on the main seat, said leisurely: "Get up."

"Thank you king!"

Zhuge Ke stood up in panic and couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves.

I don't know if the fine sweat was due to the hot weather or because I was frightened by Sun Quan.

"What are you doing here?"

Sun Quan's words contained accusations.

"Is the prince awake already, or do you already have a plan to kill Mr. Liu?"

Zhuge Ke had no choice but to say: "I already have a plan to kill Mr. Liu."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Sun Quan showed an expression of interest on his face.

"Then I want to see what your plan is?"

Seeing Sun Quan's dubious look, Zhuge Ke quickly said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauties, and my subordinates wanted to use the beauty trick to kill them!"

Beauty plan?
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "This plan may work!"

He was also aware of the reputation of Prince Liu Gongsi of the Han Dynasty as a womanizer.

"How are you going to kill him with a honey trap?"

"The first is to find someone who is beautiful and can be favored by her."

Looking for a beautiful woman?
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you found it?"

Zhuge Ke had a bitter look on his face and said, "I have found a few interesting ones, but they can't be said to have conquered the country and conquered the city. I'm afraid it's hard for Mr. Liu to fall into the trap."

Can't find a beauty?
"I will help you with this matter."

If one or two beauties from Jiangdong could capture the head of Mr. Liu, it would be a very good deal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Secondly, I want to use five stones to scatter the will of Mr. Liu!"

Five stones scattered?
Sun Quan was stunned.

"It's just that these five stones are scattered. Are you afraid that Mr. Liu will also have them?"

Jingzhou has beautiful porcelain, colored glaze, and perfume, which sell well at home and abroad.

The Wei State also has a specialty product that is popular in the thirteen states.

It is Five Stone Powder.

The so-called five stones, according to the modern names, are stalactite, purple quartz, white quartz, stone sulfur, and red stone resin. Drinking the five stone medicines will make people feel hot all over, and they need to eat cold food, drink warm wine, and take cold baths. And walking along the way to spread the medicinal properties is called "walking away".

Of course, you can also break up by doing something that is embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, you might as well take a look at this article!"

Zhuge Ke clapped his hands, as if a waiter had taken out a complete set of clothing equipment.

After the five bottles and jars, there is a small cyan porcelain plate with light yellow powder on it.

The powder in the celadon plate is light yellow, with bits and pieces of golden light shining like scattered golden sand, hence the name. It is also a powder of extremely high quality.

"These five stones are all of the highest quality. Add stalactite, aconite, alfalfa root, poria cocos, and oysters to boil, then add platycodon, dried ginger, ginseng, saposhnikovia, asarum, osmanthus, and atractylodes to slowly stew, and you have this top-quality cold food. Disperse."

"It's actually a golden powder."

Sun Quan had a strange look on his face.

There are also three, six or nine grades of Fu Powder, and Sajin Powder is obviously the best among them.

"I don't think Zhuge Langjun can still produce such high-quality goods?"

The merchant alliance greatly facilitated the flow of goods among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and also quickly spread some bad habits.

Taking Five Stone Powder is one of them.

Sun Quan could identify the top grade of Wushi Powder, and he also drank Wushi Powder on weekdays.

"My lord, I also spent a huge sum of money to get it from the State of Wei."

It cost him a lot of money to get this golden powder.

Sun Quan immediately became enthusiastic.

The temptation of first-class Sprinkled Gold Powder is also great for him. When a junkie encounters the high-quality Hanshi Powder, it is like a wise king meeting a wise minister, a fierce general meeting a precious sword, and a fierce woman meeting a nagging man. The ground was on fire, and sparks flew into each other.

If Liu Gongsi is a docile person, after taking these five stones of powder, and then bringing the beauty there, he will be made docile.

But
Is he convinced?

"Can this Han prince Liu Chan know how to take Wu Shi Powder?"

Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment and said: "Taking Hanshi Powder is beneficial and harmless. I heard that Prince Liu Gongsi of the Han Dynasty cherished his life very much and played five-animal games every day. If he knew the benefits of Hanshi Powder, he would naturally be obsessed with it."

Wushisan was originally a medicine used to treat malaria in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It was originally a medicine.

"Taking Wushi Powder not only cures diseases, but also makes you feel bright and cheerful."

After long-term use, the skin will become white, tender and delicate. Beautiful men in the Six Dynasties are all famous for their fair skin. Wang Yan's "hands are whiter than jade handles", and people in the Wei rank are like white jade.

Sun Quan nodded, although he was still a little worried, but he remained calm.

Although Sprinkle Gold Powder is good, he still doesn't like it.

Zhuge Ke obviously saw Sun Quan's disapproving expression.

"Could it be that the king feels that this high-quality gold-sprinkled gold cannot make Liu Gongsi indulge in it? There are better loose products in the king's hands?"

Zhuge Ke was very proud when he said this.

He felt that this gold-sprinkled powder was already of the highest quality, and even if there were those that could surpass it, there were very few.

"That's natural."

Unfortunately, Sun Quan really has it.

As King of Wu, Wei State gave him many gifts, including five stones.

It is still the best among the Five Stone Powder.

"I have a pair of gilt powder, which happens to be slightly better than this gold-sprinkled powder."

Gilded Powder is refined again on the basis of Sprinkled Gold Powder. It usually takes ten parts of Sprinkled Gold Powder to refine one part of Gilded Powder.

This is not a little better, this is much better.

As for why Zhuge Ke didn't refine the sprinkled gold powder into gilded powder, firstly, he was reluctant to part with it.

He felt distressed even if he refined a portion of the gilded powder out of ten parts of the gold-sprinkled powder.

Furthermore, extracting Gilded Powder from Sprinkled Gold Powder also requires special techniques, and it is not something you can just extract if you want.

"If there is gold-plated powder, I won't be afraid that Liu Gongsi will be captured without restraint."

Sun Quan nodded.

He is still recalling the wonderful benefits of taking Five Stone Powder.

The restoration of male prowess is inseparable from this thing.

"As for this beauty, do you have any idea? Half a year has passed by in a flash."

Zhuge Ke had a wry smile on his face, and he just said: "I have heard of a poem written by Liu Gongsi: Broken halberds sink in the sand, iron is not sold, and it will be washed away to recognize the former dynasty. The east wind will not be with Zhou Lang. , Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply."

Zhuge Ke looked at Sun Quan carefully and said, "If so."

Hearing this, Sun Quan's eyes burst into flames.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

One is the sister-in-law, and the other is the daughter of an important minister.

They are all still widows, widows, is he, Sun Quan, such a person?

"Second Qiao is not just the wife, but also a concubine, why can't it be done? If the late lord and the governor of Zhou knew about this, they would definitely applaud."

Applause?

Send your wife there, will you applaud her?

Sun Quan snorted coldly, but in his heart, he was seriously considering this matter.

like
It's not impossible.

The cold is getting worse and painful~
