The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1183 The Five Lords' Alliance [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

After finishing the business, Gongsun Linglong did not linger any longer and left the Qin Palace.

"Bingzhou...how did you come up with so many ways to make money?"

Only after the envoys left did Wang Jian and Wei Liaozi speak slowly.

As generals, they don't need to worry about money.

These are the responsibility of the civil servants, and they only need to ensure victory in battles and conquests.

The words of Wang Jian and Wei Liaozi also resonated with Ying Zheng.

Everyone once thought that money from scholars and aristocrats was the hardest to earn.

But Bingzhou doesn't seem to think so. Bingzhou has come all the way barefoot and has hardly exploited the common people at the bottom of society.

The development of Bingzhou seems to have been exploiting the various schools of thought and the nobles.

If it were other countries, the nobles and various schools of thought would have rebelled long ago, but Bingzhou always managed to make the nobles and various schools of thought willingly pay money on their own initiative.

"I finally understand what Emperor Xuanwu said..." Ying Zheng sighed.

"What?" Li Yao and others pricked up their ears, wanting to know what was said.

"I am not here to make money from you, but to use your money to do your work!"

Ying Zheng said seriously.

"Spend your money and do your things!" Li Yao's eyes lit up.

This means understanding customer needs, meeting customer needs, and finally satisfying customers and achieving a win-win situation!
As human beings, we have desires and needs, not to mention big families and nobles, whose needs will only be greater and higher.

This means that the cost will be much higher.

The costs are high and plentiful, which means he can earn more from it!
Thinking of this, Li Yao became more and more thoughtful and active.

How many children do ordinary people have? How rich are the nobles!

"So what are the needs of the nobles?" Li Yao had an epiphany.

Ying Zheng and others looked at Li Yao, who was talking to himself as if possessed by a demon. Ying Zheng waved his hand to dismiss everyone, quietly stood up, and quietly left the back hall of Qinian Palace with Wang Jian and others, and appeared in the corridor outside the hall.

Wang Jian, Wei Liaozi, Xiong Qi and others were also somewhat moved when they saw Ying Zheng's behavior. As an emperor, he actually took the initiative to give up the royal ceremony to his ministers to think without disturbing them. No wonder Ying Zheng was able to accomplish what all Qin kings wanted to do but failed to do - unify the world.

This may be the personal charm of Ying Zheng, and it is also the reason why they are willing to follow Ying Zheng.

"In Bingzhou, Marquis Meng Xin has already occupied half of the northern part of Kongque, so we have to speed up!" Ying Zheng spoke at this time and started discussing with his ministers outside the palace.

"Meng Xin may seem to have a lot of soldiers, but in fact he has very few elite soldiers. Kong Que has just lost his old king and established a new king, so he is temporarily unable to spare any effort to deal with him."

"Once the new king takes control of the government, he will definitely launch a war against Meng Xin, so we still have time!"

Wei Liaozi was not in a hurry. The bird that sticks its head out gets shot at, and a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. What's more, Peacock is not an ordinary country.

"The key is, when Meng Hou and Kong Que fight, will Bingzhou come to the rescue?" Wang Jian had his own ideas.

If Bingzhou did not take action, they did not think Meng Xin could withstand Kong Que's counterattack. "Have you ever thought of a possibility, gentlemen and generals, that Meng Hou is not alone!" Zhang Han suddenly spoke up and put forward a different opinion.

"If it's not a human, how could it be a god?" Hei Bai Xuan Jian said speechlessly.

If Meng Xin had this talent and opportunity, Bingzhou and the Meng family would have to keep him as a treasure and would never let him go.

"What I mean is that Meng Hou has other allies, the 850 titles that were granted out of Bingzhou, and those idiots of Kong Que!" Zhang Han explained.

"Commander Zhang means that Marquis Meng can command the other five nobles who were granted fiefs in Bingzhou?" Wang Jian and Wei Liaozi both became serious.

But I also find it unlikely that the nobles would be friendly to you and would lend you troops if there were no conflicts of interest.

But the peacock is so small. If one family eats more, it will have less to eat. How could other people lend troops to Meng Xin?

"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, but to put it another way it could be that when the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up!" Zhang Han continued.

"Commander Zhang means that Meng Hou is this tall man, who was pushed out by the Five Lords as a shield to withstand the firepower of Peacock!" Wang Jian suddenly understood after thinking about it.

The 850 nobles of Bingzhou went to the Western Regions with such great fanfare, but after reaching Kongque and Jixi, they fell silent without a trace. Is this the style of the nobility?
There is only one possibility, the five nobles pushed Meng Xin out to attract firepower and attention, while they themselves kept quiet, stored up food, and built high walls!
“So, Commander Zhang means that the elite troops in Meng Hou’s hands are very likely beyond everyone’s expectations, and may even be hidden in Kunlun Mountain by Meng Xin and the Five Lords, turning into a poisonous snake, waiting for Peacock to take the initiative and fall into the trap?” Wei Liaozi also constructed a map of Peacock’s north in his mind.

In that vast mountain, Kunlun, known as the ancestor of all mountains, it is not a problem to hide thousands or even tens of thousands of people. Not to mention thousands or tens of thousands, even if hundreds of thousands of troops are thrown in to lurk, even the most elite scouts will not be able to find them without clear goals and tasks.

"Even we as allies find it unlikely, so how could Peacock think of it?" Ying Zheng also exclaimed.

Although this is just their speculation, given Bingzhou's style, this does not seem impossible.

And in the distant northern center of Kongque, in the newly renamed Mengcheng, Meng Xin changed into the purple robes of the princes and raised the wine jar to salute the envoys from all directions.

"Thank you all for your trust. I am willing to lend you my elite troops!"

"My Lord, your condition is serious. When you are out, it is better to have more friends. Moreover, His Majesty has said that all of China is one, so we should support each other."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, you are too polite. Without you to bear the pressure from Peacock, we would not be able to gain a foothold outside so smoothly."

"..."

The envoys of the Five Lords all responded with a smile.

Their arrival did not bring any elite troops, and no one in the entire Mengcheng knew what their purpose was.

As for the elite of the Five Lords, they did not come directly to Mengcheng, but hid in the mountains around Peacock King City in accordance with Meng Xin's request.

The benefit of providing assistance was that Meng Xin allowed these elite troops to develop freely near the Peacock Kingdom, recruit subordinates, gather population, and even become bandits to rob and plunder.

In short, just develop it however you want!
This means that Meng Xin is now the temporary leader elected by these five nobles.

The nobles are not fools. They know very well that facing the powerful Peacock, there is only one way to go, and that is death, if they don't unite!
Internal strife is a matter for the future, at least after Peacock dies completely, not now!
Peacock’s power forces them to huddle together for warmth!

As long as Meng Xin can withstand Peacock's first wave of offensive and drag Peacock into the abyss of war, they will get more time to discover.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with letting Meng Xin become their leader at this time.

It's just a title. Compared with the benefits, calling him leader won't make you lose any money.
