Chapter 186

With a sound of "Xu", the arrows of the crossbow flew out of the string, and the powerful pulling force of the Magong crossbow inserted the arrow into the thick pillar, and the sharp arrowhead shot into the wooden near chi.

Seeing this scene, Huan Wen exclaimed, "It's so powerful!"

Xi Chao nodded and said: "This crossbow is exquisitely made and powerful. If we equip our army on a large scale, it will definitely greatly improve our army's combat effectiveness! From then on, our army will be even more powerful and invincible! As for the horses and armor, it will definitely increase the combat effectiveness of our army!" It is a precious strategic resource, and this kind of thing is rare on weekdays. This deal will bring great benefits to the general, so..."

In Huan Wen's heart, he planned to pretend to cooperate with Ran Ming, and then let Wei Jun regard himself as the only hope, and finally he would do another trick to cut Ran Ming's back!

However, seeing that the equipment of the Wei army actually surpassed that of the Jin army, especially the war horses, since the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty lost all the land for producing horses, and war horses are the most precious strategic resource.

In the south of the Yangtze River, an ordinary poor horse can be sold for about [-] gold, and the worst war horse can be sold for [-] gold. Even so, there is no market for the price.A top-notch Xianbei horse like the one equipped by Qilinwei is probably hard to find!What moved Huan Wen the most was the eighteen hundred war horses!

Huan Wen said: "A certain person is going to go to Luhun with the Chinese army, but Jing Xing, you stay in Wancheng and continue to discuss cooperation intentions with Yang Hui, striving to seek the greatest benefits for us!"

Xi Chao clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ming, he understands what to do!"

In the concierge courtyard of Wancheng Post Station, Yang Hui sat alone on the Hu bed, watching the song and dance performance with great interest.

In ancient times, there was very little entertainment.Although the world is in chaos and the people are in danger, but the nobles at the top level still sing and dance, and more than a dozen Jiangnan women, wearing light gauze, dance to the music.

At this moment, suddenly a dancer in green clothes signed to Yang Hui: "The Jin army has begun to mobilize on a large scale, and the forward army has already moved out!"

Yang Hui didn't doubt it. Although many people can sign language, the dancer's first sign was Tianyan's follow-up signal.It is impossible for outsiders to know.

When Yang Hui got the news, a big stone fell from his heart, and the task of luring Huan Wen to the north was completed.

Yang Hui showed a faint smile.

Xi Chao said: "I wonder if Yang Canjun is satisfied with today's reception!"

"Fair!" Yang Hui paused and said, "I don't know why Mr. Xi came to see Hui today?"

Xi Chao said: "I'm ashamed to say that Duke Ming has already confessed that Chao will be responsible for the transactions between our army and your army. How can Chao have any virtue? Hehe, but the price offered by your army is a bit too expensive." Already!"

"Your Majesty Xi is right!" Yang Hui did not speak yet.

The fat man next to Yang Hui smiled, and suddenly said: "Actually, from a certain point of view, I don't want to make this deal!"

Xi Chao was startled, looked at the fat man and said, "This is...?"

Yang Hui laughed and said, "This is Chen Ying, the ancestral hall of our Prince Chu's Mansion!"

Xi Chao nodded. Although the Dianci Temple is humble, it is powerful.Very confidant can't be in charge, I'm afraid this person is also Ran Ming's confidant.

Chen Ying smiled wryly and said, "In business talk, how can you give the country's most important weapon lightly? Let me tell you this, if the general is not a Han, it's someone else, such as Murong Jun of the Yan State, Fu Jian of the Qin State , Liangguo Zhang Yaoling, I can guarantee that even if they pay ten times the price, we will not sell it!"

Yang Hui also smiled wryly: "Weapons and war horses are not ordinary businesses. I am not a businessman, and I don't care about money. His Royal Highness, the King of Chu, cares about all the people in the world, and can't bear to see the people in the world suffer from hunger. Therefore, I have to Take the worst policy! Your Highness asked me to do this business with you, one is to solve the problem of food shortage for the people of Wei State, and the other is to improve the poor equipment of the Jin army. However, don’t get me wrong, Xi Shijun, I am not here Complain, I just want to tell you the truth."

"Yang Canjun don't need to be angry, I already know about this!" Xi Chao raised his glass and said to Yang Hui, "Yang Canjun, Chen Dianci invites you to drink!"

Yang Hui took a sip and put the wine glass on the table in front of him!
Chen Ying looked at Xi Chao and continued: "Although Wei is short of food, but...the ones who have food are not General Zhengxi and Sima. In other words, Sima Huan is not our only choice. If you are willing to sell this batch of equipment to the Jin court, Sima Yu will definitely be happy."

Xi Chao created a storm in his mind, Yang Hui's words were right, Huan Wen was not Wei Guo's only choice.

Among other things, the Jin Dynasty has no reason to refuse the [-] top-quality war horses. They don't even need armed cavalry to transport them to Jiankang. Divide up.What's more, there are those armors that are not inferior to the captain's standard armor. Relatively speaking, the price of the founding of the Wei Kingdom is almost half buy, half free!
In addition to the state of Jin, there is also the state of Yan. Don't look at the state of Yan and the state of Wei. Neither Murong Ke nor Murong Ping, who were in the dispute, would choose to go to war with Wei Guo, but tried to get Wei Guo's assistance.

In addition to its strong military strength, the country of Yan is poor in other things, such as people's livelihood and technology. Although Yan has plundered a large number of Han artisans from Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou as slaves, they certainly do not have a strong foundation. Perfect military technology system!In addition, the treatment of Han slaves is extremely poor, and many Han slaves are not working hard.Now Yan Guo can't say that he can't manufacture "armor riding equipment" equipment.

Even their ordinary swords are difficult.Although Yan State has no shortage of war horses, they have had enough of Wei State's crossbow machine losses. Give them a chance, even if they are used as underwear, they are willing!
Moreover, there is also a state of Qin.

Wei Guo and Qin Guo did not have large-scale conflicts.The equipment of Qin's army is also very poor. There is a lot of food in Guanzhong, and each takes what he needs. It is a move of two benefits!
Faced with Yang Hui's aggressive gaze, Xi Chao did not give in, and said firmly: "Mr. Yang, we are all scholars, why should we follow those humble merchants and fight for those adjuncts here?"

Chen Ying clapped his hands angrily.

Xi Chao suddenly realized.

Yang Hui is a scholar, and so is Xi Chao.However, Chen Ying was not.

Xi Chao smiled awkwardly.There was no apology.

"Mr. Xishi is right!" Chen Ying smiled, and said with a calm expression: "Mr. Xishi, I hope you understand one thing. At this time, Da Sima, besides our country of Wei, there are other people Is there an ally I can choose? Regardless of Yan or Qin, they are all barbarians. They have different opinions about right and wrong, and their hearts must be different. Cooperating with Yan and Qin is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger. That's why our country of Wei turned to Da Sima What do you think of the weapons made by our State of Wei? If nothing else, let’s just talk about the Magong crossbow. Even the Qin crossbow from the pre-Qin period and the rhubarb crossbow from the Han Dynasty are no more powerful than this, but our Magong crossbow is lighter in weight. , more powerful, more suitable for long-range suppression. And those war horses, I am afraid that Da Sima's guard cavalry can't match, right?"

Chen Ying's words are straightforward enough, things, mine are the best, and there is only one in the world. If you want it, whatever you want, if you don't want it, we can sell it to Qin, Yan, and Liang. The food is not in your hands!
Xi Chao was silent.

Now he found that Yang Hui was not a scholar at all, but a profiteer through and through.

Although Yang Hui didn't say a word, Chen Ying was always asked to speak.However, Xi Chao believed that this was Yang Hui's idea.

In fact, Xi Chao was wrong.

Even though Yang Hui joined the army under Chen Ying's office, Yang Hui really couldn't control Chen Ying.

Xi Chao had a very headache at this time, and this batch of strategic materials was very important to Huan Wen.There is another level of meaning, seriously reaching this deal with Wei Guo can completely deceive Wei Guo from a strategic point of view, so as to be unexpected and catch him by surprise!

Xi Chao said: "I don't know if Yang Canjun can be more forgiving and make some small concessions on the price, so that Chao can also explain to the general when he goes back!"

Yang Hui got up, picked up his wine glass and said to Xi Chao: "Thank you Xi Tai for your warm hospitality in the past few days. Hui is very grateful. When Brother Xi comes to Hongnong in the next day, Hui will be the host before entertaining Brother Xi!"

Yang Hui's meaning below is self-evident, and naturally the price is unacceptable, so he can go back!
When Xi Chao saw the situation, he secretly thought it was not good.

Huan Wen asked him to hold Yang Hui for at least three days, so that Yang Hui could not be suspected within three days. If Yang Hui went back now, at the speed of Yang Hui and his cavalry marching, he could reach Luoyang in one day and one night at most. At this time, Huan Wen's [-] troops probably haven't reached Luyang yet, let alone try to hide it from Ran Ming!

Xi Chao rolled his eyes, and an idea came to his mind.

While Yang Hui and Xi Chao were arguing, Huan Wen's army forward Mao Husheng received an urgent order from Huan Wen to leave [-] soldiers to guard Luhun County, and the other [-] troops continued to march lightly, trying to win the new city!

As Huan Wen's loyal general, Mao Husheng carried out the order without hesitation after receiving Huan Wen's order.

However, Mao Anzhi had his own considerations on the issue of leaving the army to defend. Since Huan Wen launched the Luoyang Battle at this time, Lu Huncheng was very important.Because of the complex terrain of Luhun City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Huan Wen is likely to put his troops in Luhun. Even if the Wei army wants to attack Huanwen's grain road, he can use a small amount of troops to defend well. Wei Jun's raid.

Mao Anzhi, who was loyal to the Jin family, naturally didn't want Huan Wen to win the Luoyang battle again. If Huan Wen took Luoyang again by force, the great contribution of regaining the old capital by force would make Huan Wen's reputation rise to a higher level. As written in Ran Ming's secret letter, Huan Wen will use Luoyang as his capital and rebel against Jin to stand on his own!
