Chapter 424: Knocking
"Not enough. Jia Xu said calmly.
"Why is this? I, the national teacher of Tubo, is only one person, far less than the thousands of people captured in Western Xia. The Tibetan prince said with some unwillingness.
"Most of the Western Xia are small soldiers, what they really want to redeem is Helian Shu, and your status as a national teacher is not bad at all, this official has calculated, at least ten cities are needed to exchange. Jia Xu said lightly, seemingly gentle, but it was invisible and persegent.
"Your country is too deceitful, although my Tubo is not as strong as Liao, but the national strength is not weak, if I really force Tubo to be anxious, the two countries will inevitably meet each other. The Tibetan prince said angrily.
"The official did not force you, but if you don't want to, then leave. Jia Xu was not angry, and said flatly.
But after saying this, Jia Xu shouted outside the hall again: "Come on, behead the Tubo national teacher for me." ”
"No. ”
Immediately, a voice came from outside the hall.
"Don't... My lord is angry, I was wrong. ”
"Ten cities is too many, and I still need to consult with my father Khan. ”
Hearing that he was going to behead the Tubo national teacher, the Tubo prince was anxious and hurriedly said.
"In the same way, I will give you five days, and if there is no result after five days, then the Tubo National Teacher will directly ask for beheading. Jia Xu smiled, but his words were murderous.
Now it is the home of the big Han, and they are all subject to the big Han and have to follow.
"You two stand down. ”
"Come, arrange for the two envoys to stay in the post house temporarily, and then enter the palace in five days to discuss. ”
After stating the conditions for the two, Jia Xu directly issued an eviction order.
"No. ”
This time it was not a simple response, several soldiers of the forbidden army with armor and soldiers walked into the hall and came to the side of the two.
"Please. A forbidden soldier pointed to the outside of the hall.
"Alas. ”
The two sighed helplessly, so they could only obediently obey.
They originally wanted to bargain with Jia Xu, but Jia Xu didn't give them this opportunity at all.
From beginning to end, Jia Xu was the home team, dominating all this, making them extremely powerless.
"My Han didn't move troops with your Song State, why did the Song Emperor send you here?" Jia Xu's eyes turned and fell on Cai Jing's body.
"It's finally me, fortunately, my Great Song Dynasty didn't use troops at the beginning, otherwise today I would be subject to the Han State like the two envoys of Tubo and Western Xia. Cai Jing thought with joy in his heart.
Then, he came back to his senses and bowed to Jia Xu: "My Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is willing to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty, so he specially sent me to offer a hundred carts of gold and silver." ”
"Are you afraid that the Han will attack the Song Kingdom in the future?" Jia Xu smiled.
"My lord said and laughed, my Great Song Dynasty has always committed no offense with your country, and the Han Dynasty should not raise troops for no reason. Cai Jing said with a flattering smile.
"When Dali was destroyed at the beginning, my Han also raised troops for no reason, and as far as my Han was concerned, there was no nameless. Jia Xu stared at Cai Jing with a slight meaning.
"He... What does he mean by this? Could it be that the Han Kingdom wants to be a great Song Xingbing to me? But that's not right, now that the Han State has made enemies of Tubo and Western Xia, it shouldn't be able to use troops against my Great Song Dynasty again, and offend the Three Kingdoms at the same time, even the Liao State can't bear it. Cai Jing was a little panicked, thinking secretly in his heart.
"If this official knows well, Western Xia has been fighting the Song State for many years, right?"
Just when Cai Jing was stunned, Jia Xu spit out another sentence.
"Not bad. Cai Jing was very puzzled in his heart, but he could only follow Jia Xu's words.
"Western Xia has a monstrous hatred for your Song State, I can't wait to swallow your Song State, and your Song State is weak, and it is not the opponent of the Western Xia army at all, if at this time, my Han Dynasty and Western Xia attack Song together, and finally divide the territory equally, do you think the Western Xia Emperor will agree?" Jia Xu said with a smile.
"It's... This..."
Cai Jing's expression changed suddenly, and cold sweat broke out.
Over the years, the Western Xia has not stopped mobilizing troops against the Song State, although they have not flattered each other, but it is still the Song State that suffers, and under their national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, there are no strong generals to resist the Western Xia.
If the Han attack is added at this moment, and the two countries jointly attack one country, then the result will be miserable, and the Song State will definitely not be able to parry.
"If my Han and Western Xia join forces to mobilize troops, will he attack the Song Dynasty in Japan, and the Liao State will sit back and wait to be killed?" Jia Xu continued to laugh and spit out another sentence, in three words, as if it constituted a scene of the Three Kingdoms War, and the sea of blood on the battlefield was presented.
"This..."
Cai Jing's expression was even more shocked.
If the two countries join forces, the most powerful Liao State will definitely send troops to plunder and take advantage of the fire to loot.
In Jia Xu's words, he seemed to see the moment when the Three Kingdoms attacked the Song Dynasty and the Song Kingdom broke through the strange road.
"I don't know what the big man wants?" Cai Jing asked with a solemnity.
Unconsciously, he had been taken into the pit by Jia Xu with a few words, and he was completely frightened.
"Your Song Kingdom has a vast territory, bordering the Liao State in the north, the Western Xia and my Han Dynasty in the west, surrounded by strong enemies, if you don't change this pattern, the Song Kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later. Jia Xu's tone became serious.
"Please explain. Cai Jing didn't know how to answer at the moment, so he could only follow Jia Xu's words.
"My Han is also willing to form an alliance with your Song State, but there is only one condition, to cede the five cities adjacent to the Western Xia to my Great Han, which has two major advantages, first, your Song State will no longer border with the Western Xia, which exempts the Western Xia from attacking the Song Dynasty, avoids the loss of labor and money, and wantonly mobilizes troops, and second, if he attacks your Song State in the future, my Han can protect your Song State, so, can you Song State be willing?" Jia Xu said with a serious attitude, not like a joke.
"My lord, this matter is too important, and the city needs to be cut, and I can't make the decision. Cai Jing said helplessly.
"Don't worry, the official will give you five days, and then come back to tell the official the result after five days. Jia Xu said without any hurry.
"Master Xie. Cai Jing nodded in agreement, his expression still full of solemnity.
It can be seen that he has been completely brought in by Jia Xu's words, and he is thinking about the pros and cons.
"Okay, go down and think about it, and then enter this hall in five days to discuss. Jia Xu waved his hand, and two forbidden soldiers came to take Cai Jing away.
Only Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu were left in the huge hall.
"Lord Jia is worthy of being my top adviser, and he bluffed this Song envoy like this in just a few words. After all the outsiders left, Zhuge Liang said to Jia Xu with a smile.
"Hahaha, after all, the country is not strong and the confidence is weak, according to the records of this world, the kings of the Song Kingdom are all conservative kings, and there is no need to worry about it at all. Jia Xu laughed and said, there is no last resort.
The intimidation in the preface and the kind words in the afterword are the alliances, and the fundamental purpose is just for the five cities bordering the Western Xia of the Song State.
Not bad.
Liu Xie's next goal was Western Xia, and after destroying Western Xia, it was Tubo.
And the five cities of the Song Kingdom can be attacked from the west and south.
