Chapter 271 Jin Envoy
No matter how powerful the Huan army is, if the Huan Kingdom participates in the war, it will play a decisive role in the current entire battle situation.
Therefore, when sending envoys to Huan, Xiao Yuan thought about it repeatedly and decided to use Liu Yu as his envoy.
First, Liu Yuzhi was the prime minister of Qin, and sent him to show his solemnity. Second, Liu Yuzhi was in public opinion when doing things, and he was considering everything for Qin. He was allowed to go as the most suitable candidate.
After confirmation, before leaving, Xiao Yuan had a special talk with him again. The latter took the order and then set off from Qinzhou with an envoy. After several days, he entered the territory of Huan Kingdom. After several days, he arrived in Huandu.
At this time, the Huan Kingdom was also having a fierce discussion on whether to participate in the war.
Some ministers of the Huan Kingdom believed that their country should stay out of the matter, learn about the flames, spirits, and watch the fires across the river.
Some people believe that the chaos of the Three Kingdoms will eventually be consumed seriously. At that time, if the country takes action, there will be great benefits.
Some people believe that we should make excuses without offending Jin State and then make decisions before taking action.
Others believe that Jin is a great country and has been strong for generations. At this time, the country should help, hold on to this powerful ally, and prepare for the future battle for hegemony in the Central Plains.
All the ministers said everything, and their opinions were different, which made it difficult for King Huan to make a decision.
This delay lasted for half a month. During the reception of Jin envoys, King Huan only said some scenes. Once the issue of sending troops was involved, he would change the topic.
On this day, the Jin envoy entered the hall again. At this time, he was perfunctory by King Huan several times and felt a sense of depression. So after bowing to King Huan in the court hall, he went straight to the point and said:
"I am the one who represents my king and serves as an envoy to your country. However, your highness has not given a clear reply when he has received several times. If Huan Kingdom is unwilling to send troops to help our country, your highness will directly say that it is, pushing and evading the left and right, which is really a loss of what the great country does."
He was also forced to die, and he felt like he was talking to death.
When King Huan heard this, he could no longer fool the Jin envoy. He could only ponder for a moment and smiled: "Huan Jin has always been in good terms. Since King Jin needs allies, the Huan Kingdom should help. However, the envoy also knew that the issue of military service was very expensive. Once he arrived on the battlefield, the casualties were also soldiers of our Huan Army."
He said this just to give the conditions. How could the Jin envoy not hear it? He immediately said: "If His Highness Huan is willing to send troops to restrain the Qin army, then our country will remember this kindness. All the food, grass and weapons needed by the Huan army will be produced by our country."
"That's all?" King Huan raised his eyebrows. He didn't want any kindness to Jin State, what he wanted was real profit.
"Of course, our country will thank you with great courtesy." said the Jin envoy.
"Oh? Why should I value the courtesy?" King Huan was shocked.
"It is possible to load two hundred thousand taels of gold, ten thousand pieces of silk and brocade, and two trucks of jade." The Jin envoy came one by one.
Under normal circumstances, the amount of these money is actually very large, but it seems less amazing to a country. When King Huan heard this, he shook his head in disappointment.
Seeing this, the envoy of Jin hurriedly said, "Of course, these are just the little rites of my king. If the Huan Kingdom is willing to send troops to help, our country will defeat the Liang army first and recover Guangling. After that, we will turn around and deal with the weak Qin, and lock Qin completely in Shanyuguan and never go east. In this way, the King of Qin lives in a remote corner, which is also extremely beneficial for the Huan Kingdom in the general trend of the world."
King Huan shook his head and said, "The envoy said that Qin was weak and that the King of Qin would not be allowed to go east. I still agree very much with this. But I heard that the Qin army has captured Yiyang. Even if our Huan army is participating in the war now, I am afraid that Jin will not be able to repel the Qin army so easily?"
Seeing that he mentioned this, the envoy of Jin hurriedly said, "Your Highness has something to do with you. Yi Yang's mistake is not what it seems on the surface, but in fact, it is our king's military plan, intending to lure the enemy into the depths."
"Is that?" King Huan smiled and said with a smile: "But Yiyang is a military important place, which is very important to scoundrel Qin Dong's throat. What kind of plan should be used as bait? Isn't this a messenger's words a bit self-deception?"
"This... in short, as long as your highness is willing to help us, it will be easy for our army to take back Yiyang." The envoy of Jin said again.
"I don't think it's necessary?" King Huan said, and then said, "Okay, the words have come to this point. I can send troops, but Huan has a condition."
"Please make clear what your highness is." The Jin envoy said.
"Yeah..." King Huan pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, as long as the King of Jin is willing to ced Shangjun, then my country of Huan will send troops immediately!"
"What!?" Hearing this, the Jin envoy widened his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Is Your Highness joking?"
"Haha." King Huan did smile again, without saying a word, waiting for the Jin envoy to reply. He had been coveting Shangjun for a long time, and he was greedy and would never be lenient when he could get land.
This is a typical case of taking advantage of the situation, not to mention that Jin State has been strong for several generations, and when will it be cut off by people? After the Jin envoy came back to his senses, he immediately couldn't stand it, and he couldn't help but increase his voice a little:
"Your Highness, King Huan! Do you treat Jin as a friend when you act like this?"
"Of course, Huan and Jin have always been friendly, and I and King Jin brothers also have a deep friendship." King Huan said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, why did your highness say this? Could it be that you want to take this opportunity to blackmail us from Jin!" The Jin envoy was angry.
Seeing him like this, King Huan couldn't help but waved his hand slightly and said, "Hey? Envoy, don't be excited. This time, Qin State attacked Jin, because of the assassination of King Qin by Bai Ze of the King of Jin. If Huan State participated, there was no reason. Therefore, if Wushang County, I cannot explain to the soldiers of the three armies."
"That's all the false accusations of the King of Qin, and they are meant to find a reason to attack our Jin State. How can your highness believe it?" Jin envoy said anxiously.
"But I was also in Baize at the beginning, and King Qin was indeed assassinated. If this was not done by Jin State, who else could it be?" King Huan asked.
"This!" Jin envoy became even more anxious.
But King Huan said again without waiting for him to speak: "Now the conditions in our country of Huan have been opened, just a county. Your country will not be so stingy, right?"
"Stingy?" Jin Envoy's face changed when he was angry, and he said, "Your Highness deliberately made things difficult for me. I am sorry that I cannot agree! I dare not agree!"
