I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 98 Support your own forces

Zhao Xiang replied: "Of course I came to seek refuge and do my best to revive the Han Dynasty."

Wei Chang on the side was immediately moved when he heard this and was about to speak, but was still interrupted by Li Heng.

Li Heng laughed and said: "Zhao Langjun forgot what happened more than half a month ago so quickly?"

"I wonder what Mr. Li said about more than half a month ago?"

"If you can't remember, go back and think about it slowly!" Li Heng said with a big wave of his hand, "Come, let's see you off!"

At this point, you still want to pretend to be stupid and be clever?

The guard at the door came immediately.

Zhao Xiang's expression changed slightly, but he said to Wei Yan: "I have heard for a long time that the Marquis of Nanzheng was a loyal and good man of the Han Dynasty, and he wanted to fulfill the late emperor's legacy and support the Han Dynasty. Now we are waiting for the defection to surrender, but we are rejecting talented people. Aren't we afraid of leading the Han Dynasty?" The virtuous people in Longyou counties are heartbroken!"

Wei Yan was notoriously arrogant, and he didn't even look at Zhao Xiang.

Threatening Wei Yan with morality obviously has no effect.

"I have heard for a long time that Prime Minister Zhuge is an outstanding figure in the world, and everyone in the world admires him. Now that the Han army has entered Long, we have come here because of his fame. We are so insulted by you. Aren't we afraid that the prime minister's reputation will be damaged?"

"see a visitor out!"

Seeing how tough Li Heng was, Zhao Xiang could only bite the bullet and said, "I suddenly remembered that more than half a month ago, I went to the Wuzhangyuan military camp to discuss the price of paper."

Li Heng then waved his hand and signaled the guards to retreat.

"Okay, just remember it. Let me ask you, why are you dissatisfied with the price Huo Shaoxian gave you last year?"

"This..." Zhao Xiang's palms began to sweat.

In fact, this is a problem that everyone is well aware of. Who wouldn’t want to lower the price if we seize the opportunity?

Who doesn’t want to strive for more benefits?
But Li Heng asked knowingly.

Why did Li Heng ask questions knowingly?

Didn't you say that if the news spread about my anger, it would affect my reputation?
Now let's talk about it. Will the reputation of your Zhao family be affected if word spread about what you did?

If you, Zhao Xiang, want to play moral kidnapping, I will let you tell me personally what you did. After you tell me, we can have a good discussion about righteousness and virtue.

"If Mr. Zhao has nothing to say, please come back."

Zhao Xiang said bravely: "It's indeed a bit expensive."

"If it's too expensive, please take it back. I'll find another family to do the deal later."

The point of Li Heng's words is not to find other families, but that I want to get rid of your Zhao family.

Zhao Xiang immediately said: "Because I want the price to be lower."

"Why?"

"I want to make more money." Zhao Xiang was sweating on his forehead. He finally realized today that Li Heng was a tough guy.

Li Heng immediately raised his voice and said loudly: "It's understandable to want to make more money. We have lowered the price and sincerely cooperate with you Zhao, but you guys come here to lower the price without knowing how to advance or retreat. Is this behavior not shameless?"

Wei Chang on the side stood up excitedly when he said it and cursed: "Shameless!"

"Then what does Mr. Li want us to do?" Zhao Xiang could no longer remain calm, his face darkened.

"How to do it?" Li Heng sneered, "Who said such nonsense in front of the Prime Minister that day? Who said that our army could not reach Tianshui, and who said that our army would not be able to enter Guanzhong in the future?"

"I understand Mr. Li's intention. I will go back and report it."

Zhao Xiang saluted and then said: "Farewell."

After Zhao Xiang left, Wei Chang asked: "Military advisor, why bother talking nonsense with them? Our army has conquered all Ji County. It only takes a while for Zhao's Wubao to be fearless."

"What do you want?"

"Kill them of course."

"Killing Zhao will only create enemies for us in Longyou."

"But Zhao made such nonsense in the camp that day. It was because they were disrespectful!"

"Go and tell the other families in Longyou, will they believe it?" Li Heng shook his head and said, "They will only think that we are looking for a reason to exterminate the Zhao family. They will be afraid, but more of them will resist strongly!"

The terrain of the five counties of Longyou is complex. If the powerful families from all over the country really resist desperately, the Han army will not be able to defeat them.

Just beating them one by one consumes too much energy and delays too much time.

War is to achieve political goals, not to vent anger.

To vent one's anger is a reckless act. Has any reckless man ever conquered the world in history?
Now we are quickly stabilizing the people of Longyou and exploiting Longyou's resources for the sake of the overall situation of the Guanzhong front line. Venting anger will affect the overall situation. With such a pattern, how can we conquer the world?
Wei Chang didn't know much about this either. After all, he was just a military commander.

Wei Yan didn't understand either. Wei Yan was special. He was a serious partial subject. He was outstanding in the military, but almost zero in politics.

As for why he was able to climb so high, his military prowess was on the one hand, and Zhuge Liang's protection was on the other.Not long after Zhao Xiang left the city, Li Heng and his men caught up with him.

Zhao Xiang turned around and saw Li Heng and said, "Isn't Mr. Li ready to let me go back?"

Li Heng got off his horse and said, "Take a step to speak."

Zhao Xiang hesitated for a moment and walked aside.

"What else can Mr. Li do?" Zhao Xiang suppressed dissatisfaction in his tone.

Li Heng smiled and said: "I have offended you before, please forgive me, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

Li Heng's attitude just now was very tough. Now...

Li Heng sighed and said: "I can't help it. You made such nonsense in front of the Prime Minister that day, and the generals were angry. Before they came, they said they would exterminate your clan to vent their anger!"

Zhao Xiang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

"If I don't rebuke you in public, you will not be able to leave Ji County today, and tomorrow will be the day when your Zhao family will be exterminated!"

Zhao Xiang became even more frightened after hearing this. It turned out that Li Heng was saving him just now!
He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Li!"

"But after all, it's you who caused the trouble. It's not something I can explain to the armed forces just by scolding you a few times."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Zhao Ling can't be saved anymore. It's up to you."

Without waiting for Zhao Xiang to speak, Li Heng continued: "I will definitely hand over the Qubu."

Without giving Zhao Xiang time to hesitate, Li Heng then said: "How many horses do you have?"

"horse?"

"Yes."

Zhao Xiang immediately knew what Li Heng meant and wanted to hand over all the horses.

There is a horse farm in Tianshui, and the Zhao family has been a prominent family in Tianshui County for hundreds of years. The resources are so deep that even the Wei Dynasty may not know about it.

What are you still hesitating about? "Li Heng said as if I am all for your good, "Is it more important than the head? "

Zhao Xiang immediately came to his senses: "There are six thousand good horses."

"Okay, hand it all over."

"This……"

"I will report to the Prime Minister to explain your loyalty to the Han Dynasty, and you will definitely be promoted to an official position." Li Hengtian said shamelessly, "In addition, I can still do the business of Longyou paper for you, and I will also report this matter! "

"Thank you, Mr. Li. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"

"Go back and do the work quickly. If it takes too long, I can't guarantee that I can't suppress those soldiers who want to kill people and make meritorious deeds!"

Zhao Xiang's whole body trembled again, and he quickly said: "Farewell!"

Li Heng then returned to the city.

In Li Heng's dictionary, people must be put to their best use.

Even a piece of shit in the toilet has its use.

The Zhao family has been in Tianshui for so many years. They control resources, public opinion, and are familiar with the trade routes to Hexi. No matter how you look at it, they are a big piece of fat that can continue to be mined.

What a pity to kill!

He wanted to let Zhao know that Zhao could be alive now and in the future because of Li Heng's presence.

He, Li Heng, will return to Chengdu in the future, and the next step will be to enter the imperial court.

Now you have to start supporting your own power, right?

Otherwise, how can we gain a foothold?

How to reform?

How to carry out the surprise attack on Jingzhou that he told Zhuge Liang before?
In the Zhao family, that evening, there was a sound like a pig being killed inside.

"Father, save me! Father..." Zhao Ling struggled and roared.

"Sir, you almost killed the entire clan!" Zhao Jun said angrily, "If I don't kill you, how will I explain it to the others!"

　I woke up this morning to catch up on the manuscript. I will post two chapters first, and there will be a few more chapters in the afternoon. Don’t worry, we are working on it.
