Chapter 199 Join Forces
Puyang.
After the trauma of the war, the city looked very depressed. After the Qin army took over, they began to recruit refugees and stabilize public order. Only then did the streets become more alive.
Dongjun is a thoroughfare connecting the Central Plains and one of the most fertile lands in Wei. After Qin captured this land, it directly divided Wei's territory into two halves.
Wei's fertile lands such as Hanoi and Yedi directly became enclaves.
Just like Korea in the past, after the Qin State captured Yewang, Korea, which was no longer able to control the Shangdang, could only give away the land there, directly triggering the Battle of Changping.
The State of Wei was unwilling to give in, so it continued to compete with the State of Qin for the land of Dongjun. They were afraid that Qin would slowly devour Wei's territory just like it did with South Korea.
For this reason, the Wei State moved the most powerful Weijun in the Wei army to Yewang to block the Qin army in order to slow down the Qin army's march eastward and prevent the Qin State's East County from continuing to expand its sphere of influence.
Because of this, hundreds of schools of thought, Jianghu forces and even spies from all over the world gathered here.
Although the market is depressed, caravans from all over have appeared on the streets, transporting goods.
During the war, medicines and food were in short supply, and the Qin army also urgently needed supplies from all parties to stabilize the market prosperity. Therefore, it is convenient for caravans from various countries.
It's just that Dongjun is not peaceful, and a lot of land is still in the hands of the Wei State. Those who can transport goods here have some skills.
Li Ji wore a veil and followed Zhao Shuang, walking on the streets of Puyang. She was very familiar with the terrain here, but at this time, Zhao Shuang was in charge.
Zhao Shuang took her across the street and came to a remote restaurant.
The business of the restaurant was very bad, and not a single customer was seen. However, the store was very clean.
When the store owner saw Zhao Shuang coming, he bowed his hand and bowed. In the Jianghu, the dragon gauze mask worn by the leader of the Mo family is very unique, and there will be no other one.
Zhao Shuang took out his identity token as the leader of the Moh family to confirm his identity. The store owner took Zhao Shuang and Li Ji to the backyard of the restaurant. The vegetation was shining with a certain elegance. The Zhu family was waiting for it. When they saw Zhao Shuang, the mask on their faces turned a festive red.
"How good is the commander-in-chief?"
The Zhu family is very prestigious in the world and has extensive contacts. When they meet the elders, they call them brother, and the younger ones call them brother. However, for the leader of the Mo family, the Zhu family does not even know his age and identity, so they can only say "brother". Great leader.
"Long time no see. Master Shen Nong's cultivation has become a little more advanced."
"How dare I compete with the Grand Commander in cultivation. In the Xinzheng Moh Family Guild Hall, the Grand Commander forced out the two guardians of the Yin and Yang Family. This matter has spread throughout the world, and the Grand Commander's reputation is growing day by day!"
"It's such a small thing, I didn't expect that Master Shennong would also know about it."
Zhao Shuang followed the Zhu family into the backyard house, and Li Ji stood behind him, guarding with a sword.
The Zhu family took a look at Li Ji. Although her face was unclear, some clues could be inferred from her body curves.
"Although this girl is masked, her beauty cannot be concealed. She is probably a peerless beauty."
Zhao Shuang smiled, with a hint of teasing in his voice.
"Brother, you have such good eyesight!"
Zhao Shuang's words were a bit inappropriate, but Li Ji was very happy when she heard them.
After listening to Zhao Shuang's words, the Zhu family's face changed and became a little worried.
"It's good to have a beauty by your side. But brother, have you heard of the news that has been circulating in the world recently?"
"information?"
Unknowingly, the relationship between Zhao Shuang and the Zhu family has become that of younger brother and elder brother.
"Recently, there are rumors in the world that there is a stunning beauty in the Mo family who knows the true face of the leader of the Mo family. All forces in the world are ready to make moves. Either for this stunning beauty, or for your true face, brother."
Zhao Shuang looked back at Li Ji, who felt guilty and did not dare to respond to Zhao Shuang's gaze.
"That's really interesting." Zhao Shuang smiled, handed over his hand and said, "Thank you for reminding me, brother. I have retrieved the supplies from Shennongtang that were recently robbed in East Vietnam on my behalf."
"Thank you very much, brother."
The Zhu family raised their wine bottles and toasted with a glass of wine. The autumn wind blew, bringing with it a sense of desolation. He put down the wine bottle and couldn't help but sigh.
"There's been some unrest in the world lately!"
"Brother Zhu is joking. When will there be peace in this world?"
Zhao Shuang's words made the Zhu family sigh and shake their heads.
"At that time, Fan Sui advocated the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and Qin has been practicing it. A few years ago, the Mongolian whales swallowed twenty cities of the Wei Kingdom. The princes were alert, and the five kingdoms united, interrupting the pace of the Qin army. In the past few years, the Qin army has seen the whales swallow up If that didn't work, they turned to encroachment and continued to invade Hanoi. Dongjun's sphere of influence was also gradually expanding, but the princes became more stable."
Regarding the performance of the Qin army, the princes of other countries did not even have a clearer and more intuitive feeling than the master of Shennong Hall.
"After hundreds of years of fighting among the six countries, how could they truly join hands to fight against Qin? Unless"
"Unless what?"
Zhao Shuang smiled and said nothing.
"In the land of East County, can the farmer family and my Mo family join hands to deal with this chaotic situation?"
Above the rivers and lakes, there are endless refugees and bandits, and some second- and third-rate sects are also snooping. To stabilize the situation, it might be a good choice for the Mo family to join forces with the farmers.
"This is good news for us. However, I am only the leader of Shennong Hall, and I can't make the final decision on some things."
"What do you mean, brother?"
Zhu Jia sighed, telling the truth.
"Brother, to tell you the truth, I have no opinion on this matter. After all, business requires stability to make money. However, there are many voices within the farmhouse. Some are afraid of interfering too deeply and offending King Wei; some think that the war in Dongjun Frequent, it is not suitable to stay for a long time; some people do not want to get involved and want to enter the land of Qilu."
"The Tian family?"
Qin's far-distance attack strategy is of great benefit to Qi. Qi State built the Great Wall on the border to resist the attacks of the princes in the Central Plains.
For so many years, Qi has never participated in the war against Qin. Although the military strength is weak, at the same time, Qi's business is prosperous, and Linzi is one of the largest cities in the world, richest in the world.
"Since I understand, brother, I will not mince words. The Tian family of the farm family has a deep connection with the Qi royal family. With this relationship, the power of Lieshan Hall has been developing in Qi Di, and the progress has been good in recent years. Tian Meng does not want the peasant family to get involved in Dongjun at this time, but wants to continue to penetrate into Qilu land, so he has always opposed it."
Among them, there is another layer that the Zhu family has not mentioned.
That is, if the Mo family wants to gain a foothold in Dongjun, they can rely on their own strength. But this commander-in-chief wanted to spare the power of the Mo family in Yanzhao and join forces with the farmers.
It seems that the rift within the Mo family is already deep.
"But in the end, it is up to Xia Kui to decide this matter. Don't worry, brother, there will be news in the next few days."
"Then there's Brother Lao."
