King Aries continued: "King Qi, my Aries tribe sincerely surrenders. In addition, the Xiongnu tribe also sincerely seeks peace. I implore King Qi to accept the submission of my Aries tribe and the Xiongnu tribe's peace request."
Wang Qi rolled his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It is not impossible for the Huns to seek peace."
The Aries King is also a human spirit. When he heard Wang Qi's words, he immediately understood that Wang Qi may still have conditions. King Aries immediately said: "King Qi, if you have any conditions, just tell me."
Wang Qi said: "I want 20,000 war horses."
"ah!"
King Aries exclaimed after hearing this.
Twenty thousand war horses, this is not a small number! It is true that the Huns naturally lived by water and grass and had a large number of war horses, but there was a huge gap between 20,000 war horses and 10,000 war horses.
Wang Qi said: "Why, can't it be done?"
When the Aries King thought of Wang Qi's intimidation and Wang Qi's lethality, more than a hundred people under the leadership of Wang Qi severely damaged the Huns' vitality. Once Wang Qizhen led his army northward and attacked the Xiongnu, then the entire Xiongnu would inevitably fall into a war of genocide.
By then, the Xiongnu will probably not be able to control the Xiongnu Royal Court or Langjuxu Mountain.
??Even, maybe worse.
King Aries took a deep breath and said, "King Qi, we Xiongnu are willing to give you 20,000 war horses."
Wang Qidao: "I agree to the Xiongnu's request for peace."
King Aries put on a shy face and asked tentatively: "King Qi, what do you think about the submission of my Aries tribe?"
Wang Qi said: "King Aries, if your Aries tribe wants to surrender, there are different conditions for your Aries tribe. Have you really considered it?"
King Aries said: "What are the conditions?"
Wang Qi said: "First, choose one of your sons as a hostage and come to my king's Qi Kingdom. Second, the Aries tribe will pay tribute every year, with 3,000 war horses and 30,000 sheep every year."
"Third, the Aries Department will report detailed information about the Xiongnu at any time and report all information."
"Of course, in return, I will support your Aries Department. Once the interests of the Aries Department are involved, I will express my support or send envoys to support you."
"If necessary, I can personally send troops north to help you."
Wang Qi said: "This is my king's condition, and it is also my obligation to you. As long as you agree, I will agree to your conditions and help you."
After King Aries heard this, he immediately became excited. He hurriedly said: "No problem, I, the Aries tribe, are willing to submit to the King of Qi. I, the Aries tribe, are willing to be a subordinate of the King of Qi."
Wang Qi looked at the excited look of the Aries King and sneered in his heart.
The Aries King¡¯s plan is to use his own strength to unify the tribes on the grassland with the help of Wang Qi¡¯s influence. The result Wang Qi wanted was for the Aries tribe to annex other tribes with ambitions and to conflict with them.
The greater the conflict between the tribes, the more fierce the fighting will be. In the end, the strength of the entire grassland will be weakened, and it will be easy for Wang Qi to destroy the Huns.
Wang Qi and Aries King both have their own agendas, it just depends on who has better means.
King Aries said: "King Qi, I will return to the grassland immediately. Within three months, 20,000 war horses will be sent. My Aries Department will also fulfill the conditions of my Aries Department, but they must be sent separately. Please Don¡¯t worry, King Qi.¡±
Wang Qidao: "I will wait and see."
King Aries said: "I retire."
Wang Qi nodded, and the Aries King left in a hurry. Not long after the Aries King left, Zhou Zishan came in a hurry. He saluted: "Your Highness!"
Wang Qi said: "Commander, sit down!"
Zhou Zishan sat down and said, "According to the report from the army officers, the Aries King of the Huns is here. What are they doing here?"
Wang Qi said: "The Aries King, the leader of the Aries tribe of the Xiongnu, came to seek peace on behalf of the new Xiongnu Great Chan Yu Punu. Then, I blackmailed and the Xiongnu will give 20,000 war horses as compensation. "
"In addition, this Aries King is very ambitious. He actually took the initiative to surrender to me and asked for my support. The Aries Ministry will give 3,000 war horses and 30,000 sheep every year. In addition to the other Aries King's My son will come to Qi as a hostage."
"The Aries King wants to borrow my power, so I will lend it to him and let him display his ambitions and let him toss on the grassland. The Huns are in chaos, or even worse, which is a good thing."
Wang Qi has expectations in his eyes.
Today¡¯s Aries King is just a chess piece in Wang Qi¡¯s hands.
After hearing this, Zhou Zishan thought carefully and said: "His Highness went north and frightened the Huns. If His Highness had not frightened the Huns, Pu Nu would not have arranged for King Aries to come south to seek peace."
"The most important thing is that the deaths of Yilimu, Uwe and Hulu have made many ambitious people have ideas. King Aries is one of them. It is an excellent thing for His Highness to promise King Aries."
"If he wants to start a fight among the Xiongnu, then let them fight. Because this is beneficial to us."
Zhou Zishan said: "His Royal Highness went deep into the Huns and killed them well. Although he encountered countless dangers when he went north, it was indeed worth it."
Wang Qi said: "That's what I mean. The army's concerns coincide with my own."
Zhou Zishan said: "I have one more thing to do when I come from a humble position."
Wang Qidao: "What's going on?"
Zhou Zishan said: "Now, in terms of merging states, they are included in the territory of Qi State, especially under the arrangement of Gaozhou Mu, various places have joined. On the whole, the problem of merging states is not big. Adding Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, there are at most six State land.¡±
¡°Such a huge area already occupies half of the Great Zhou Dynasty.¡±
"To put it bluntly, even if His Highness becomes king now, it will not have any impact. There is no force in the world that can resist the king. On this occasion, in addition to attacking other countries, we also have the most important thing One thing is that there should be a change in the selection of officials in various places."
"I have studied the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. The official selection system of the Great Zhou Dynasty mainly relied on local inspections and conquests, or selection from the children of aristocratic families. This kind of selection actually has great limitations. "
"Your Highness established the State of Qi and carried on the past to open up the future. Naturally, we cannot continue with such a strategy."
"His Royal Highness is now reforming the land policy to take the land into the possession of the imperial court, which will weaken the family. Although the family still has influence, compared with the past, when the family could use the land to monopolize countless resources and people, today's family is much weaker. many."
"But the land policy alone is not enough, because the influence of the aristocratic family in the officialdom is still huge. If reforms are not continued now, the situation will change in decades or even more than a hundred years."
Zhou Zishan said: "So I think we need to continue to make changes."
Wang Qi had an idea in mind, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zishan would bring it up. Wang Qi asked patiently: "Strategy advisor, what did you think about it?"
Zhou Zishan's eyes were sharp and he said: "The way to break the diversion of talents is actually very simple, which is to conduct unified assessments. Whether you are from a poor family or a child of an aristocratic family, as long as you want to become an official, you need to be unified by the imperial court for assessment."
"As for the so-called recruitment, promotion, filial piety and integrity, etc., all non-assessment methods will be directly abolished and will no longer be established. Unless they are appointed by His Highness himself, there will no longer be any special way to appoint officials. "
"If this happens, it could be as short as a few years or as long as more than ten years, and the situation in the world will definitely change. The power in the officialdom will gradually no longer be controlled by aristocratic families."
Zhou Zishan said: "In this way, His Highness's territory will be more stable."
Wang Qi nodded and said: "The plans of the military advisor are indeed important. The official selection system is the most basic system, and it is also a major event related to the long-term stability of the entire Qi State in the future." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
