Eight hundred and seventeenth chapter: lead troops to defend
"I don't know what the princess in Zhenguo has, so I might as well tell you."
As soon as Xiao Rongyan finished speaking, King Xihuai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, if the princess in Zhenguo has a clever plan, you might as well say it bluntly. I am very grateful!"
"Since Wei State is fighting with Da Yan, Wei State still needs to work hard on Yan State! For example, what King Xihuai said before... What price does Wei State plan to pay for peace?" she asked.
"When Wei State sought peace, he made it clear to Da Yan that he would cede all the land and cities that had been captured by Yan State to Yan State, and ced all the cities north of Chang City, just to ask Liang State to quit the army and cease the people to recuperate and avoid the trouble of life! However... Yan State still did not want to truce, and his intention to destroy Wei is firm! I..."
"Can Wei still give in to diplomatic relations between the two countries?" she asked.
"As long as the war can be truce, the two countries will have diplomatic relations... Wei is willing to take the lead in Yan's privately, but Yan's country is still unwilling."
"Then take a step back and pay tribute." She turned her eyes to King Xihuai, "You can tell the world that Wei is willing to submit to Yan and pay tribute every year... I only want a truce so that the people can rest and recuperate!"
"Praise... to pay tribute?" King Xihuai's face turned pale, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, "To Yan State?"
Xiao Rongyan, holding his clothes tightly, let go of his hand and following the words of King Xihuai: "Two years ago... Yan State was still surrendered to the humble small country under the various nationals. Now the princess of Zhenguo made us Wei State surrender to such small countries? What King Xihuai said was to follow Yan State privately, and our Wei State had already felt ashamed and humiliated... let alone pay tribute."
"But, Wei State is such a small country that you look down upon, and even the danger of national destruction is near!" She looked at Xiao Rongyan, "Although Wei State once relied on geographical advantages to establish a strong position! But the world changes so quickly, if Wei State still immersed in the old days... It would be a matter of time before he was destroyed by a powerful country."
She withdrew her gaze and looked at King Xihuai again: "Think about the former Yan State, when it was beaten by Jin State and was unable to resist, and he paid tribute to Jin State. Doesn't Yan State feel that he was greatly humiliated? He must first survive to strive for strength! Now that Yan State has recovered, he still can't resist Wei State?"
King Xihuai's expression was hesitant.
Seeing that King Xihuai seemed to be persuaded, Xiao Rongyan smiled lightly: "What the Princess Zhenguo said is reasonable, but as a Wei person, he cannot see that his mother country has suffered such a great humiliation. He can clearly ask for help from other countries, so why should he be so humiliated? Moreover, Yan knew that Princess Zhenguo had the ambition to annex the countries below the world, so he would inevitably doubt... The Princess Zhenguo had a purpose to persuade King Xihuai in this way."
King Xihuai looked at Xiao Rongyan and felt that Xiao Rongyan was from Wei, and he was considering his motherland everywhere, and even hesitated to confront his fiancée with his tit-for-tat, so he felt much more at ease.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingyan turned to look at Xiao Rongyan, and said without rushing and uneasy: "Without the courage to lie on firewood and taste gall, how can you work hard to manage your strength? How about tomorrow? I persuade the Wei State to announce that the world is willing to pay tribute to Yan State. If Yan State insists on destroying Wei, it will become the target of public criticism. Will Yan State not consider it?"
She sighed softly, picked up the teacup, pressed the tea leaves floating above the clear tea soup with the lid, took a sip of the tea, and then said: "I have the ambition to annex the countries below the world, and I have never concealed it! Indeed... Yan State cannot destroy Wei for the time being, and Yan State cannot clear it up and will inevitably be unable to compete for the Central Plains with confidence, which will be beneficial for our Jin State to unify the world! But in this way, Wei State can temporarily survive, which is a killing of two birds with one stone, isn't it good?"
She looked at Xiao Rongyan: "Rongyan, you are a member of Wei. Do you have to be willing to be destroyed for dignity? Perhaps Wei will rise with a temporary breathing opportunity, and no one can say that! After all, everyone in the world can compete for the destiny... Whoever wins to death depends on the end."
"Yan Zhenguo's strategy is not good, but wouldn't it be better if he could ask the Prince of Rongdi to send troops to help, or if Jin was willing to help, forcing Yan to have to cease war with Wei? Why do you have to choose a way to pay tribute?" Xiao Rongyan looked at King Xihuai and asked with a smile, "Take a step back and say... Even if Jin and Rongdi are not willing to help each other, it would not be too late for Wei to take another step at this time! What does the prince think?"
"What Rong Yan said is reasonable!" Bai Qingyan bowed his hand. "I know that the princess of Zhenguo is indeed kind. Since the princess of Zhenguo cannot be a guarantee... Jin can help Wei, so there is no need to pay any discounts for the mother country. I am willing to go to Hancheng to meet the prince with a ghost, but it really won't work... It's not too late to talk about the matter of paying tribute."
Today, Bai Qingyan’s main purpose is to confirm whether Ayu has done a detailed job. Bai Qingyan doesn’t mind whether King Xihuai wants to see Ayu and whether he wants to pay tribute to Yan State.
"In this way, I'm having trouble..." Bai Qingyan put the teacup in his hand on the table next to his hand.
"Don't blame the princess of Zhenguo. Originally... I thought I could ask the princess of Zhenguo to plead with the prince of Jin, but Rong Yan had just analyzed with me that the destruction of Liang this time of Jin was imperative to lay the foundation for the great cause of Jin's unification in the future, so I would never be distracted by Wei. Although Wei has no ambition to dominate the world or unify the world, no matter whether it is the Queen Mother of Wei, His Majesty, or I, I would not want Wei to become a vassal state in the hands of our generation. If so... I have no face to face the ancestors after death."
King Xihuai said the words of the words very sincerely, and his eyes were red.
"What King Xihuai said, Bai Qingyan understood, so King Xihuai would try it first, but... According to Bai Qingyan, it is unlikely that Rongdi will send troops to assist Wei. Rongdi does not have a border with Wei's land. Either you have to borrow Xiliang or Jin, the Rongdi clan... you are not good at long-term combat."
"So, I hope that Jin can help one or two at that time!" King Xihuai answered the words very quickly, and stood up and bowed to Bai Qingyan. "I originally planned to negotiate with the Ghost Face Princess and ask Rong Yan to make a connection and ask the princess of Zhenguo to plead with him. Since the princess of Zhenguo mentioned it first, I will ask the princess of Zhenguo here for Wei."
