Chapter 49 Vehicle capacity

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a war between Western Shu and Eastern Wu.Soochow gradually could not resist Xishu.Soochow sent Zhao Zi to seek help from Wei Guo. At that time, there were some problems between Wu Guo and Wei Guo, but Wu Guo still had to ask Wei Guo for help. As soon as Zhao Zi arrived in Xudu, Wei Wendi Cao Pi's attitude was very arrogant, because he looked down on Soochow. So he deliberately asked Zhao Zi: "How many people like you are there in Soochow?" Zhao Zi replied confidently: "In our country, there are about eighty or ninety people who are smart and capable, both civil and military. There are so many poor people like me that they can be carried by carts and measured by buckets. You can count them all. It's not over!"

Zhao Zi's words won the respect of Cao Pi and Wei's ministers, and finally let Soochow get help.
