Chapter 123 Which Brat Is Cheaper?
After listening to what the other party said, Hannibal quickly said:
"This is a good idea, I'll send someone to do it right away."
After praising his daughter, Hannibal went to arrange these things. Now that the other party has sent people over, the Roman legions may attack soon. Time is still very urgent, so it would be good to know more about her.
There is also some regret, why he didn't think of this method before.
Of course, it was also because the country in the east gave them too mysterious an impression at first, but they did not expect that the other country's business was also so developed.
Tennette said with a smile at this time:
"Father, you don't need to send any more people. Leave this matter to your daughter. I have already found a caravan."
Hearing this, Hannibal was a little surprised and said:
"When did you do it?"
He didn't even find out when the other party did these things.
Tennant quickly said:
"After the last time, my daughter has been in contact with those businessmen in order to learn more about Chinese poetry."
"Ask them to help buy those books, because my daughter also found that the material of the books is very special, and she wants to buy some to study and see if she can imitate them."
"Now that I have contacted those people, I can get to know them better this time."
After hearing these, Hannibal couldn't help but sigh;
"Daughter, you are really my lucky star."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll send you a few more people to protect your safety."
In their world, commerce is very important. Each city-state is relatively small and needs commerce to exchange supplies.
Therefore, doing business is not a shameful thing for nobles. On the contrary, many nobles have risen through business.
And whether it’s life or fighting, which one doesn’t require money?
Having a daughter who can do business is something to be proud of.
Tennette immediately replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, father, I'll do this right away, and I'll have someone send you news in a few days."
After saying that, he walked out excitedly.
Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Hannibal also showed a proud smile, but soon he became a little melancholy.
The daughter is in charge, which means that the other party has grown up, and growing up means getting married. Naturally, he was a little reluctant to let go, and couldn't help but said to himself,
"I just don't know which brat I will take advantage of."
At this time, Tennant had returned all the way to his residence, and then said to his entourage,
"Tell the people in the caravan that I will personally conduct this transaction."
People from the caravan had told her before that there would be a transaction in the near future, and the location would be a barbarian gathering place not far from here.
The entourage left quickly, and Tennant picked up a bought book at this time, feeling the unique touch.
After opening it, a strange fragrance hit her face. Looking at the words with strange beauty, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
Finally, she could go see for herself what those Chinese people were like.
A few days later, the camp of the forward troops of the Chinese Allied Forces was in full swing.
Everyone is building their own camp, where they will confront each other for a while.
It's just that the camp is obviously divided into two parts, one is the Chu army, and the other is the Xiongnu and Qin army.
On the surface, it means that the troops can be divided into two groups, so that everyone can look after each other and support each other.
But in fact, everyone knows that both parties still cannot achieve absolute trust and are more or less defensive.
As the coach, Meng Zhi didn't say much. Anyway, the other party only had to obey the command in the big aspects.
At this time, the main personnel of the Qin Army were in the Qin Army's camp, and many spies sent the latest news.
"General, the Roman spies have also discovered us. Watching from a distance, their movements of men and horses seem to be relatively frequent, but the specific situation of the other party cannot be detected."
A spy reports.
The huge difference in appearance between the two parties makes it very inconvenient to spy on intelligence.
We can only look at it from a distance and then make a rough estimate.
Meng Zhi was not surprised. He nodded calmly and asked the spies to pay attention to the surrounding movements. Anyway, just don't be attacked suddenly.
As for more specific information, General Han Xin had already explained it to him before he came here.
So he quickly said to a centurion next to him:
“Have you contacted anyone from the caravan?
How are the reports coming from them? "
The merchants of Great Qin had already started heading towards this side ahead of them, bringing with them the most exquisite things from Great Qin, including porcelain, silk and books.
These are the best items available in the world today, and those Roman nobles will certainly not refuse them.
The centurion quickly replied:
"General, my subordinates sent someone to contact us as soon as we got here, but the situation is not that good."
"The other party is still a little wary of us. Our merchants have no way to enter their city. Although the two parties have transactions, they are all in the temporary gathering points of the barbarians, and the information they get is limited."
Meng Zhi suddenly frowned and said:
"These people are quite vigilant."
He originally thought that he could roughly know the fighting methods of these people, etc., but he did not expect that these people were already on guard.
It seems that the only option is to find a chance to play with the opponent and get to know him better.
But this opportunity may be difficult to find. If he were the opponent, he would just hide in the city and force them to attack the city.
You must know that siege warfare and fighting in the wild are completely different concepts.
The casualty ratio will even vary by more than ten times!
This is still a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing Meng Zhi frowning, the centurion suddenly thought of something and said:
"By the way, General, I heard that businessman say that just tomorrow, they will trade with a caravan from Rome."
"The main merchandise is all kinds of books. I will tell them to ask as much news about the army as possible."
Meng Zhi was not too excited and just nodded calmly.
The caravan that trades books goes to inquire about news about the army, and the two parties are not able to communicate freely. As long as the other party is not stupid, the possibility of them getting the information is very small.
But now he has no choice.
At this time, Zhao Hao, who had been listening beside him, his eyes lit up slightly and he asked:
"The main goods traded in this caravan are books?"
The centurion nodded and replied:
"I heard from the businessman that the other party is an old customer."
Zhao Hao suddenly showed a smile and said:
"General, this time we may be able to take this opportunity to contact the nobles behind this, and we may be able to get some information."
Meng Zhi looked at Zhao Hao with some confusion. He didn't know much about business, so he asked:
"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this statement?"
