Chapter 243 King Qin is Depressed
"Brother Su, there are still two days' journey before we can arrive at the place where Sun Bin and Tian Dan are stationed."
After several days of rushing, Mr. Mengchang's previous resentment was also worn away. The long journey made the group a little tired.
Su Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, why don't I rest for a while, the scenery here is not bad."
Mr. Mengchang looked up at the surrounding mountains and said, "The scenery is really good, but I'm afraid there's not enough time."
Su Qin asked the attendant around him, and he said that the next station would take half a day, and it was already noon, so he had to hurry up, otherwise it would be difficult to enter the city when it got dark.
Su Qin could only shake his head regretfully, and sighed, "When we return in triumph, we must have a picnic here as the king said."
Mr. Mengchang has little contact with Zhou Zihao, so he doesn't know the 'eating' culture that Zhou Zihao often talks about.
As a foodie, how could Zhou Zihao talk to someone who is not familiar with Meng Changjun?
"Keep going."
The news that they were going to negotiate had reached Sun Bin and Tian Dan. At this time, they had already set up their defenses and were not worried about being attacked, just like Sun Bin was in Zhongcheng at this time.
After that battle last time, I never came out again, and I didn't even dare to approach them, let alone declare war.
Tian Dan was about the same, so when the fortifications were completed, he joined Sun Bin to prepare for the arrival of Lord Mengchang and Su Qin.
Tian Dan said: "General Sun, it's your senior brother Su who is here this time, so we can catch up on the old days."
Sun Bin was helpless, "Senior brother has a mission, so it's probably difficult to reminisce about the past."
Tian Dan asked: "If this armistice succeeds, do you think we can go back to Linzi?"
"Maybe." Sun Bin was not sure, it didn't matter whether he returned or not, after all, he didn't grow up in Qi, and he didn't have a strong affection for the capital.
But Tian Dan is different, he is a native of Linzi, he has never traveled so far, this time he not only went, but also learned so much, but nostalgia is inevitable.
Not only him, those ordinary soldiers, most of them have old and young at home, who doesn't want to go home.
So everyone hopes for a good ending, so that even if they can't all go back at once, they still have a chance to go back.
Sun Bin thinks a lot about Yunmeng Mountain, and he doesn't know how the servant boy Xiaohu takes care of his master. He really wants to go back and have a look, but the master said that before the world is peaceful, no one is allowed to enter. Shan, otherwise they will be directly expelled from the sect and will no longer recognize them.
Therefore, none of the brothers and sisters dared to bring it back before it was done.
The King of Han got new cannons, which his envoys bought from Qin. He spent a huge amount of gold to get these few twenty cannons.
He also didn't dare to declare war on the Qi State, and he didn't dare to make a request to the Qi State to send back the occupied territories.
However, he had to continue to observe the situation. He was a mouse caught in the middle. Both sides were in danger, so he could only hide in the middle.
The situation of King Wei was similar, he continued to remain silent, the Qi army did not move, and they did not move. The principle is that I am good, but waiting like this made him very anxious.
The nobles in the country have complained about his management and put pressure on him to end the current bad situation quickly.
When King Wei thought of those wastes in the court, he would spend all day making blind comparisons, which were useless at all. Thinking about the Chaoge where he was, it was the place where the emperor stayed, but what about now?
The name of Zhou Tianzi is really just a name, just as a moth of Wei State, Wei Wang still has to respect Zhou Tianzi.
Continuing to offer sacrifices, he thought that if he really became the overlord of the world in the future, he could threaten Emperor Zhou and ask him to tell the world to show that their Wei State's inheritance of the world was reasonable.
Now, everything is over, and Wei Guo, whose vitality has been greatly injured, may not be able to regain its former glory.
The smarter thing about the kings of Han and Wei is that they have already begun to invest in the research of cannons. They ruthlessly asked skilled craftsmen to dismantle a cannon, observe the structure inside, and then try to imitate it.
The road selection is good, but it is very difficult to imitate. For example, in the current state of Qin, they have not even manufactured a cannon of their own. There are blueprints and steps. It will take a while to actually make it. experiment.
Not to mention imitation, modern China tried to manufacture guns according to what the West provided, but it couldn't compare with the West at all.
Besides, even if the kings of Wei and Han made cannons, they didn't know the ratio of the shells.
King Han and King Wei both rested for a few days, and sent envoys to Sun Bin one after another to inquire about Qi's attitude.
Both Sun Bin and Tian Dan said the same thing, "Whether it is war or peace, we have to wait for someone sent by the king of Qi to make a decision."
The messengers had no choice but to go back and report.
Qin Guo, who was watching the show behind the scenes, had sold the cannon not long ago, and was preparing to see how Han Wei used the thundering cannon in his hand to repel the Qi army and show off his prestige, but he did not receive any good news for several days in a row .
Now I only receive, 'No fighting is taking place yet'.
In King Qin's view, if the two countries of Han and Wei are really taken over by Qi, then Qin and Qi will be neighbors next to each other, and there will be conflicts between them.
At that time, the two countries will fall into an endless battle, and the background will be almost the same.
The King of Qin knew that the creativity of the new King Qi was stronger than the mysterious people he had ever seen.
Empress Dowager Xuan walked up to him and asked King Qin: "Don't be too impetuous, isn't there still two big countries watching, and they haven't suffered any damage at all."
The King of Qin said: "Mother, you belong to the Chu and Zhao countries located in the north and south."
"Exactly, so you have to calm down now." The Queen Mother said.
King Qin was almost overwhelmed by the excitement and swelled up to ignore them.
King Qin had a good view of the overall situation before, but recently he has been a little irritable, especially after getting the method of making cannons and a certain number of cannons.
It made the blood in his whole body boil, and it was only these few days that he calmed down.
King Qin asked the eunuch Gao beside him: "Eunuch Gao, did you succeed in making cannons today?"
Eunuch Gao said: "It still doesn't exist, but a cannon that looks similar to the sky has been made, but it doesn't look useful because it can't be used."
King Qin's head was full of threads immediately, so don't tell him the news that the fabrication failed.
When Eunuch Gao saw King Qin's reaction, he quickly added: "Although it's useless, the craftsman said that with a little improvement on that useless cannon, it can barely be compared with the existing sky-thundering cannon."
When King Qin heard this, his eyes lit up, "What about now?"
Eunuch Gao said weakly, "It's still under study."
Qin Wang felt that the chrysanthemum had been poked by someone, and looked at Eunuch Gao's expression, he knew how ugly it was without describing it.
For that manufacturing method, he paid the mysterious person a large sum of gold, and now he can't find it.
He couldn't create his own person, and his depression was like being cheated of all his property by a liar.
How long will it take to successfully build it? The Qin State is very pressed for time, and the artillerymen currently trained by Qiliji are all waiting for the first batch of cannons to come out.
