Chapter 424: Twenty-two cities, returning to the Han Dynasty
Five days pass in a blink of an eye.
The palace of the Han Dynasty, above the court.
Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang were the main members of the Three Kingdoms, and the envoys from the Three Kingdoms came to the hall again.
"The time for you to consider for five days has passed. What do you think?" Jia Xu asked as he looked at the three envoys.
"I am the Emperor of Xixia, and fifteen cities are impossible. After all, my territory of Xixia is already small, with at most ten cities." Li Wen said in a deep voice.
"I have been a great knight in Tubo, and there are at most seven cities. After all, my Tubo land is barren." said the Tubo prince.
"I am the Great Song Dynasty" Cai Jing was preparing to speak out Zhao Ji's decision.
However, Jia Xu immediately stopped him, "I will talk about my big man and you, Song State, and now we will talk about them first."
"Yes." Cai Jing glanced at Li Wen and the Tubo prince, and seemed to have thought of something, so he immediately stopped talking.
"Although your country's request is somewhat different from the expectations of our great Han, our great Han is a country of etiquette. For nothing, I agree on behalf of the great Han king." Jia Xu smiled and said helplessly.
Hear his words.
Li Wen and the Tubo prince both secretly scolded in their hearts, "The country of bully etiquette is a bully and robber."
But in terms of performance, they dared not do anything, so they could only respond respectfully, but still asked anxiously, "Thank you, sir, I don't know when I will release my Xixia prisoner (Tubo National Master)?"
"After my army will occupy the cedes city, the person you want will naturally be left to you without any damage, but the premise is that everything in the cedes city is not allowed to move, otherwise even if the ransom is incomplete." Jia Xu smiled in his heart and looked at the two of them and warned.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"I, Tubo (Xixia), are ready for the cemetery, and I just wait for your country to send troops to enter." The two of them could only follow. In this situation, they could do nothing.
"In this way, our Han and the two countries will be able to coexist in a long-term friendship." Jia Xu laughed, very satisfied.
"Today you swallow our territory, and my army will definitely take it back in the future. You guys will also be broken into pieces." The two of them thought in their hearts with angrily, but on the surface, they still had only a submissive smile. "Yes, yes, in the future, I, Xixia (Tubo), will definitely establish friendship with the Han Dynasty and coexist in the world."
"Today's affairs must spread all over the world. I have prepared a great banquet in the inn. The two envoys will go and enjoy it." Jia Xu pointed outside the hall and said with a smile. The matter has been accomplished, so naturally he will see off the guests.
"yes."
The two of them dared not disobey and slowly retreated from the hall. However, looking at Cai Jing who was left alone, a puzzled heart arose, "Does Song State have any plans to come to this Han State? They were actually left alone? You must report it after returning to the country."
The two of them were allowed to leave.
"What do you think about the emperor of your country?" Jia Xu looked at Cai Jing and asked.
"As long as the Han Dynasty sincerely enters an alliance with our Song Dynasty and is in an offensive and defensive alliance, our Song Dynasty is willing to donate the five cities bordering Xixia to the Han Dynasty." Cai Jing bowed slightly, clasped his fists and said.
"good."
"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is really a wise king, and I admire it."
"Please rest assured that our great Han Dynasty is also sincerely trying to make an alliance with the Song Dynasty and deal with the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms together. This is to get the alliance letter built by the seal of our great Han King. After the city is ceded, you can take it back and offer it to your emperor." Jia Xu looked at Zhuge Liang.
"This is a letter of alliance." Zhuge Liang held a scroll in both hands and spread it out to see.
The letter "Today, Song is willing to give it to the Han Dynasty with five cities as a gift. I am deeply pleased. I should make an alliance with the Song State. If the Western Xia and Liao State invade Song State in the future, our Han army will help."
After this sentence, it was the magic weapon of the Han Dynasty's national fortune, the seal of the country.
Become the command of heaven and live forever.
The eight words can be clearly seen on the scroll.
"Please rest assured that the five cities on the border of the Song Dynasty are ready to be cede. Not only that, the five thousand defenders in the five cities, I, the Song Dynasty, have also given them to the Han Dynasty." Cai Jing was overjoyed and immediately solemnly took over the alliance. Looking at the seal belonging to the Han Dynasty, he felt relieved.
"Hahaha, this time I successfully signed an alliance for me, and when I go back, the emperor will definitely receive a lot of rewards. Sima Guang's old thing is not qualified to fight me." Cai Jing laughed in his heart, holding the alliance, like a treasure.
"There is another thing that the messenger needs to remember." Jia Xu's expression became serious.
"Please tell me clearly." Cai Jing was shocked and a little nervous, afraid that something would happen again.
"The matter that the Song Dynasty gave to me in the Great Han city should not be easily reported, so it is best not to let anyone know." Jia Xu lowered his voice and said.
"I understand, I understand." Cai Jing nodded in a hurry.
In fact, Jia Xu doesn't need to go there. The State of Song will not make too much declaration about this matter. After all, it is to ced the city to sign an alliance. If it is spread to the people of Song, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people.
"Hahaha, that's great. Please go back to the inn to rest." Jia Xu laughed.
"Okay, thank you sir." Cai Jing also felt extremely satisfied today and left the hall with a smile, gaining a lot.
When Zhuge Liang saw Cai Jing's proud look, he couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Jia, he is still very happy when you sold him. It seems that there is no one in the Song Kingdom in this world."
"Just plotting, there are many countries in this world, and they can be my chess piece. Although the covenant is made today, I will let him tear the covenant with his own hands in the future." Jia Xu smiled gloomyly, his face full of calculating.
Poisonous soldier Jia Xu.
Planning for others, planning for oneself, and planning for the country are real strategic talents.
"Mr. Jia has also gained a lot of benefits from the hands of the Three Kingdoms. It's time to report to the king." Zhuge Liang reminded with a smile.
"Yes, in six days, no one soldier was dispatched to obtain twenty-two cities. I believe the king would be happy to find out." Jia Xu smiled proudly. Under his plan, he was faster than the power of hundreds of thousands of troops. In an understatement, he bought the city.
Then.
The two of them walked together and came to the Imperial Study Room.
"Recruiting the King."
"My minister Jia Xu."
"Since Zhuge Liang."
"ask to see."
Outside the imperial study, there were many imperial guards. Even Jia Xu, an important official in the Han Dynasty, needed to report before entering.
"Come in."
After a while of sedimentation, Liu Xie's voice came out of the Imperial Study Room.
"Please, two sirs."
Hou Li, the imperial guards outside the hall, opened the door of the hall.
"I heard from the king, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my orders and have found twenty-two cities for our Han Dynasty." Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang came to Liu Xie and bowed to report.
"Okay, not bad."
