Chapter 655 Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world
The news came to Cao Peng, which made Cao Peng very angry. He did not expect that such a result would be.
The Roman Empire deceived him this time, and the purpose was to make him a joke.
Peace talks are never possible, there is only endless wars.
"Okay, very good. Since the Roman Empire is going to come with me, I don't mind having fun with them!"
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he immediately asked Jiang Wei to send troops. A 100,000 army was hoarding at the Roman border. This time, they wanted to let them know the consequences of the provocation.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought of a question?" Fa Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Cao Peng said in confusion: "What?"
Fa Zheng said: "Ma Chao is now in trouble. He recalls that the Qiang people may take the opportunity to cause trouble, so we have to be careful!"
Cao Peng's expression turned cold, it was really possible.
"Order Guan Yu to lead 100,000 troops to guard the Qiang tribe immediately. If anyone dares to move, he will never tolerate it and directly rectify the Dharma!"
......
After a series of orders, it naturally caused a chain reaction, and the conflict with the Roman border triggered many incidents.
This time the peace talks failed and the envoy was killed by the other party. It was a very shameful humiliation to say it.
I realized that this time Cao Peng from the Great Wei Dynasty had been angered by them and the other party was immediately timid.
Although the Romans shouted so well, when it comes to military strength, they are actually just paper tigers.
Several conflicts on the border made them know that if war really starts, there will inevitably be some collapse in the country.
At this time, some meetings began above the Roman imperial court.
"Your Majesty, for the current affairs, we should have a good talk with Cao Peng based on the safety of the two countries or the domestic situation..."
After hearing the minister's words, the little emperor couldn't help but laugh. Now he wanted to talk about what you were doing so earlier?
"Okay, but now I don't want to deal with these mundane things anymore. You guys can do it!"
The little emperor's current way of protecting himself is to weaken his influence on the empire. Then one day after the Great Wei Empire captured this place, he still has some possibility of survival.
"Your Majesty's wise!"
They were naturally extremely happy about the loss of power by the little emperor.
"Then let's discuss next. If you want to have a peace talk, then what kind of gift Cao Peng likes!"
The group of people immediately started, not being ashamed of being shameless, and only planned to please the big guy to solve the current problem.
......
"Your Highness, the Roman Empire requested peace talks and sent a lot of gifts..."
After hearing this, Cao Peng smiled. This was something that was expected.
"Hmph, since they have done it, what else do you want to talk about killing their envoys, and the shame before us!" Fa Zhengyi said coldly.
Cao Peng smiled bitterly, it seemed that Fa Zheng was really a little tiger.
This guy is completely irrational to integrate his own national plot into these diplomatic events.
"Don't calm down! Now that things have happened, what we should think about should not be complicated, but should think about how to make these big things smaller!"
Fa Zheng doesn't understand Cao Peng's meaning anymore. He has always been a straight person and does not understand these twists and turns.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Fa Zheng asked in confusion.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "Look at their gift first, and then make a decision!"
The gifts sent by the Roman Empire were brought in one by one.
Gold, silver, jewelry, and even rare beasts.
"Haha, it's better to take these rare beasts to the country to relieve our little emperor's boredom!" Cao Peng said with a smile.
The people around him also smiled in agreement. Cao Peng's words were really fine.
If someone else had seen so many jewelry, his eyes would have been staring straight, but now this person is Cao Peng.
Ordinary objects are hard to catch his eyes.
"By the way, are there any ivory?" Cao Peng asked.
Ivory is very difficult to find. A few days ago, Lu Lingqi asked him for it several times but he couldn't find it.
"Yes, your majesty!"
The Roman envoy who was in charge of the Great Wei Dynasty hurriedly brought a truck of goods, and there were really some ivory on the truck.
"Not only are there ivory but also this big pearl with a fist. I didn't expect you Rome to be so rich!"
Rome was originally connected to the sea, so it was not strange that they had pearls.
Sea area...
This thing made Cao Peng think of something. If he could conquer the outer seas, it would definitely be a good thing for the current Great Wei.
Maybe I should preside over the establishment of a treasure ship plan and carry out an expedition strategy for voyage to the West.
When Cao Peng was in a daze, the other party asked: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Cao Peng threw away the consciousness in his mind and shook his head.
"Nothing, where did we just talk about it?"
First, I saw that Cao Peng was confused by these dazzling gifts, and I was suddenly surprised.
Logically speaking, how could Cao Peng be confused at such a state? This is really puzzling.
"You go back first and tell the Rome ministers that I have accepted the gift, but I don't have to say whether to negotiate peace or not!" Cao Peng said with a faint smile.
The other party was immediately surprised. Cao Peng didn't give a clear statement if he had completed the task.
"Please!"
In the main hall, the Jinyiwei behind immediately stepped forward and asked the Roman envoy to retreat. The other party naturally did not dare to say much, so he had to retreat.
Fa Zheng stood up and was puzzled by what happened just now, but Cao Peng asked him to be calm.
"Today's discussion has come to this point, and the rest of the people can step down!" Cao Peng said with a faint smile.
Everyone else understood that this was Cao Peng driving away everyone except his confidants.
Only Fa Zheng and Zhang Song left here. After following Cao Peng to the Western Regions for a long time, they have been giving advice for Cao Peng.
"You must not understand why I had the intention of reconciliation when the war was just going on."
Cao Peng pointed it out directly. What the two of them thought was nothing to say, so they acted as if they were humble and were taught.
"Haha, you should know the best strategy for military strategists without fighting."
"The Roman Empire has now reached its peak in the caste system, and the national resources are in the hands of a few nobles. The people are no longer satisfied. With this, as long as we use it properly, we can subvert their regime."
Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were shocked. They seemed to realize what strategy Cao Peng was planning to adopt.
Chapter completed!
