"We, King Huan, have also prepared a gift for the king!" Murong Qing said to Qi Xiaobai.

Then Murong Qing clapped his hands, and then his servant pulled a small golden bull: "This is a golden bull specially built by our king, and it is dedicated to King Qi Huan!" ”

The Bohai Kingdom is the poorest country among the three countries, because they live in extremely cold places, and it is difficult to grow grain, but there is still a part of the land that can get some grain and grass every year.

However, the place where they live is very cold, so their population is also very sparse, although the territory of the Bohai Kingdom is the largest of the three countries, but they can gather less than 100,000 troops.

In the struggle with Donghu and Goguryeo, the Balhae Kingdom has always been at a disadvantage, but because their territory is too bad, Goguryeo and Donghu have no intention of seizing it.

Although the Bohai State has less than 100,000 troops, it can gain a foothold in the north, and the combat effectiveness of its legions is still very good.

For the Bohai people, they like to drink, because drinking can promote blood circulation and make their bodies warm, so they often drink alcohol, and also advocate force, and are a fighting nation.

The people of Bohai are composed of three ethnic groups, the Xianbei tribe, the Yan tribe, and the Jurchen tribe, and the Murong clan, the clan of Bohai, has the blood of these three ethnic groups.

In fact, the first king of the Bohai Kingdom was not called Murong, but the surname was 'Da', but the surname was the surname of the Yan tribe, in order to promote the harmony of the three clans, the royal family abolished their own surname and created a surname 'Murong'! ’

One is to highlight the status of the royal family, because Murong has only one surname, and the other is for the harmony of the three clans, after all, the big surname is the big clan of the Yan clan, which is easy to cause racial discrimination.

The Bohai Kingdom is very poor, but taking out a small golden calf is already a very consuming national strength, but in order to be able to make friends with the Qi State, the Bohai King feels that it is still very worthwhile.

For them, they also have to defend against the Xiongnu, after all, Donghu was destroyed, how could their Bohai State survive safely?

Although they had a fight with Donghu, at least the Donghu people did not have the intention of killing him, but it is difficult to say whether the Xiongnu had the heart to kill him.

"You Bohai King want to be good friends with me, but it has also taken a lot of painstaking work, and I Qi Xiaobai deeply remembers that the friendship between my Qi country and Bohai country will last forever!" Qi Xiaobai said to Murong Qing.

"The friendship between Bohai and Qi will last forever!" Murong Qing said to Qi Xiaobai.

Although this is a bit funny to say, after all, Bohai often participated in the joint raiding of the imperial borders by Donghu and Goguryeo.

Now that we need Qi country, we have begun to pay attention to the longevity of the game, which is a verification of the sentence, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests.

Today we fight to the death, tomorrow we may become good friends hand in hand, everything we do, is for the sake of interests, interests first, as long as it is beneficial to the country, anything can be done.

These two countries came to see Qi Xiaobai and gave gifts, and of course Qi Xiaobai was not stingy, and wanted to return the gift.

After all, pay attention to a courtesy, after all, Donghu and Bohai are not vassal states of Qi, they want to form an alliance with Qi, if it is a vassal country, Qi can only accept gifts, this alliance, the same status, this is a return gift.

"I also have gifts for both countries!" Qi Xiaobai said to Murong Qing and Azida.

These two people were still looking forward to Qi Xiaobai's gift, they knew that Qi Guo was very rich, and this gift must be worth a lot of money.

After all, the gifts given to other countries are generally very meaningful, and in order to show strength, they will not be very cheap.

Otherwise, a country as poor as Bohai would not have specially built a little golden bull to give to Qi Xiaobai.

I saw two guards walking in with two large flower screens, this is porcelain, porcelain is only owned by nobles for the current Qi country.

After all, the value is very expensive, but for the alien race, this is a rare treasure, and it is difficult to buy. ”

"It's porcelain!" Adasu looked at the porcelain and said, as robbers, they had also robbed porcelain, and they knew that selling this thing to merchants in the Western Regions would get a very high return.

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "That's right, this is porcelain, and it is high-grade porcelain, specially given to the monarchs of the two envoys!" ”

Adasu and Murong Qing walked in front of the porcelain, observed it carefully, and sighed that the workmanship of this porcelain was exquisite, and they also sighed that this Qi country deserved to be a strong country and a rich country, which was a big deal.

They know that the origin of porcelain is the empire, but they don't know that porcelain is not too valuable in the empire, although only the aristocracy will use porcelain, but the nobility of the empire is very large, and among the nobles of the empire, porcelain is just an ordinary product.

After sending the gifts, the two envoys also explained their intentions, Qi Xiaobai was also willing to form an alliance with the two countries, and Qi Xiaobai began to set up a banquet to entertain the two envoys.

Following.

After Qi Xiaobai finished the morning court, Qi Xiaobai had a small meeting with the important ministers of Qi in a room.

This meeting, known as the cabinet summary meeting, is held once a week, and is a meeting between cabinet ministers and Qi Xiaobai to discuss major national affairs.

"King Huan!" These ministers all stood up and saluted Qi Xiaobai.

After Qi Xiaobai sat down, he waved his hand: "You all sit down!" ”

"King Huan, we annexed Goguryeo, it is to connect the Dongyi Island State, Goguryeo, its territory can be comparable to the Chu State, I think we can try to swallow the Song Dynasty, unify the empire, and replace the Zhou!" Tian Dan looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

He felt that he had annexed Goguryeo, and if the territory was connected, the national strength would be greatly enhanced, and he felt that he could try to annex the Song State, go straight to the Central Plains, and fight with the princes.

But Guan Zhong looked at Tian Dan and said, "Master Tian, this is surprising! ”

"Although we got Goguryeo, we still can't fight with the imperial princes, you must know that we may not have fought with the Xiongnu on the grassland, and Zhao won 100,000 Xiongnu elites with 150,000 people!" Guan Zhong did not recommend annexing the Song State and directly confronted the imperial princes.

After the annexation of the Song State, it will definitely attract a joint attack by the princes, and Guan Zhong's current Qi State is not yet the opponent of the princes' alliance.

Although the territory of Qi is now very large, the fertile land is only the Qi country itself and the Yan land, the central hinterland of Goguryeo.

Although Goguryeo was annexed, there was a process of digestion, and although Goguryeo was soon annexed, the power of Goguryeo could not be immediately transformed into the power of Qi.

Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "In my opinion, the princes we want to fight first are not the Song Kingdom, but the Zhao Kingdom!" ”

"Zhao Guo? How could the Zhao State be compared to the land of the Song State? Do you know that the Song State is rich, but more importantly, the Song State is weak, and it is easier to merge! Tian Dan looked at Guan Zhong and said.
