Chapter 268 We cannot let the Qin people underestimate us
Other conditions can be negotiated, but garrisoning must not be agreed to.
This is no longer "don't let others snore and sleep on the side of the couch", but if a person wants to sleep on the couch, he might take out a knife and stab the original owner one day, so that he can occupy the bed.
The king of Xiou said: "Don't worry, if the people of Qin make this request, I will never agree!"
In fact, it is useless if he agrees. Every country also has a king, but the king does not have absolute power.
He Lao continued to search the rumors he had heard about Qin in his mind to predict the conditions that the Qin people might propose.
"The people of Qin may also ask me to wait for the switch to trade. Even if the people of Qin sell their things to us, we will also sell our things to them."
For this one, Xiou Wang and other leaders didn't care that much.
Although they do not care about Qin people's things, it does not mean that they cannot be used at all.
If the Qin people have to force them to open and close the mutual market to let Qin's things flow in, then use it, but when using it, you must be vigilant about the Qin people to prevent the Qin people from selling incoming things. Play tricks on them to murder them.
The old man grumbled and added a few more things: "The people of Qin may want us to use their language and characters, use their coins, and let us sacrifice to their gods."
What he said to the new man He Laoxin. These are a few The leader said: "You can use their coins, or you can use the Qin people's language and writing, but if you want us to sacrifice to the Qin people's gods, let's stop talking about it!"
Using Qin people's coins is not a big deal, learning from Qin people Human language and writing are nothing.
If the Qin people really have a cure for malaria, they will have to deal with the Qin people for a long time in the future. Learning the Qin language and Qin characters well will also help them communicate with the Qin people.
But worshiping the gods of the Qin people is absolutely not allowed!
Gods and even supreme existences. Their ancestors were blessed by the gods and could live here.
They turned around to worship the gods of the Qin people, which was disrespectful to both the gods and their ancestors. It would make the gods angry and bring disaster.
Moreover, they have another consideration: If they are forced by the Qin people and become the same as the Qin people in everything, then they are still themselves?
What is the difference from Qin people?
The national independence must be maintained, they have made great concessions, and the despicable Qin people must not be allowed to touch the bottom line!
Predicting what conditions the Qin people would put forward came to an end, and the radical leader Husuo spoke again: "We can't just accept the Qin people's threats, we must also let the Qin people know how powerful we are, and let them know that we are not easy to mess with, otherwise They will think that we are easy to bully, so they will get worse!"
This is indeed true. If you just let the Qin people threaten you, the Qin people will only go further and further, and they must show their strength to the Qin people! tough.
Others’ eyes fell on Husuo again.
Husuo continued: "Didn't the Qin people always think that their soldiers were extremely powerful and called them the 'tiger and wolf divisions'? I think the Qin people's envoys also have Qin army soldiers, so why don't they let the clan's son-in-law fight with them?" Let’s compete!”
Everyone immediately understood what Husuo meant. After thinking about it carefully, they felt that the proposal was good. They invited the Qin people to compete, but whether the Qin people were invited or not, they would fall into them. In the pit, he was hit with arrogance.
If the people of Qin were not invited, they would be like: Hey, don’t you people of Qin always think that you are the strongest in the world and have no opponents, so why don’t you even dare to be invited to compete?
If the Qin people accept the invitation, the result will be the same. They only need to set the competition in the mountains and forests, and there will be almost no surprise if they win.
They have lived here for generations for countless years, and they already know everything in the mountains and forests. The Qin people have just arrived, how can they compete with them in mountain warfare? The king of Xiou and the leaders had full confidence that the sons of the clan could defeat the Qin army in the mountains.
Although the Qin people are strong, they are in the north, not in their mountains and forests. Here, they are the kings!
They now hope that the Qin people can be invited to compete, so that they can see what the Qin people will look like after their defeat.
Thinking of seeing the Qin people after their defeat, King Xiou and the leaders all showed happy smiles: Let you threaten and force you, this wave will definitely let you taste the taste of failure.
The king of Xiou said: "The strategy of shouting is feasible, so we will act accordingly!"
After the king of Xiou finished speaking, another leader suggested: "The king should not be in a hurry. Say goodbye to the Qin people, and leave them alone for a few days. "
"The more anxious we are, the more we will think that we are eager, and further threaten us."
"Leaving it aside will make it easier for the people of Qin to know our thoughts, and it will be easier to negotiate terms with the people of Qin later."
This suggestion is also right. Rushing to the door in a hurry will only let the other party understand that you are interested in This thing is very desired, thus raising the price. On the contrary, it is necessary to show that it does not care so that it can be bargained with the other party.
While King Xiou was discussing matters with the leaders, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo and others had just finished eating and were resting in the room arranged for them by King Xiou.
Their treatment was not as good as that of Jiao Li and Chen Ping in the Xiongnu. They were welcomed with a dinner party and were even arranged by Touman to rest in the palace. The King of Xiou only treated them as ordinary foreign envoys.
Tu Sui took a small wooden skewer he got from nowhere, and while picking his teeth, he said to Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo: "Don't tell me, these Yue people's food has a different taste, and it tastes quite good. ! ”
Zhao Tuo, the youngest of the trio, smiled and said: "It's indeed not bad, but it's just 'not bad'. Compared with me, Da Qin, there is still a big gap."
Ren Xiao glanced at Xi Looking in the direction of King Ou's palace, he asked: "You two, what are King Xiou and the leaders doing at the moment?"
Tu Sui said indifferently: "What else can they do? It's just guessing me. Do we have ulterior motives for them, and then find ways to show us that they are not weak?"
"But what if they know that we have ulterior motives? Unless they don't want the medicine in our hands. What will happen to us?”
Ren Xiao said with a smile: “Aren’t you afraid that they will kill people because of this?”
Hearing this, Tu Sui didn't care anymore and said: "The King of Xiou is not stupid, and those leaders are not stupid either, so they won't kill people. They will guess what conditions we want to put forward, and they will find ways to prove that they are strong. , but..."
Tu Sui changed the topic, and his tone changed from indifference to disdain: "If you are really strong, why do you need to show it to us? Only when you know that you are inferior to others, will you deliberately show your strength? Advantages to compare with others "
Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "So, the King of Xiou may not see us immediately. They will send an invitation for us to compete with them, and we must accept it. I am feeling proud, thinking that I have come up with a good plan that will put us in a dilemma.”
As for what the King of Xiou and the leaders of Xiou might do, Tu Sui and the other two people had already planned it before and on their way here. Overprejudgment.
You are predicting, and I am also predicting, but I predict your prediction, and the King of Xiou and those leaders have no idea what their purpose is.
