Chapter 1305: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (195) Negotiations

Stepping into the black palace where Wang Jian lived, even if it was a well-informed Niu Ben, he couldn't help but be greatly admired, this pure Central Plains style palace was built after Wang Jian mastered the power here, and from this point you can also see the true thoughts of Wang Jian's heart. It's a pity that Niu Ben has never been to Xianyang, and he has not seen the black ice platform in Xianyang, otherwise he would definitely be able to recognize this palace as a copy of the black ice platform.

It seems that this place is really rich, and it must have cost a lot of money to build such a palace.

Walk along the high steps all the way to the palace, in the empty hall, Wang Jian sat on the top, on both sides of him, two rows of generals sat in columns, Huang Ming brought Niu Ben to Wang Jian, and sat on an empty futon next to Wang Jian.

"Niu Ben, the envoy of the Han Kingdom, has seen General Wang!" Niu Ben clenched his hands into fists and slammed them to the ground.

Wang Jian stared at the envoy of the Han Kingdom in front of him, his appearance was not amazing, and he had never heard of this character in the previous images, but since he could represent the Han Dynasty here, his status was not low, or he was a character who only emerged from the Han Kingdom in the past two years.

"Lord Niu has come from afar and worked hard, please take a seat!" Wang Jian pointed to a futon in front of him and motioned for Niu Ben to sit down.

"Thank you, General, for taking a seat!" Niu Ben smiled and pulled off his robe and sat down cross-legged on the floor. "When General Wang was at his best, he actually crossed the desert and arrived at this place, and created a great foundation, my king heard about it, and was greatly admired, saying that General Wang was really a brave and resourceful person, so he specially sent Niu Ben to congratulate the king."

Hearing Niu Ben's words, Wang cut his eyelids and jumped a few times, "Back then, thanks to the King of Han, the wolf ran and the rat scurried, how did you know that the road to heaven and man was endless, and it actually laid another foundation for Wang, presumably after the King of Han heard about it, he must have been disappointed." ”

Niu Ben laughed out loud: "General Wang is serious. On the contrary, when our king heard this, he was very happy, saying that after this barbarian country was returned to General Wang, it would be able to spread Chinese culture here and take root. ”

On the other hand, Jin Yong sneered: "Didn't An Zhi send you and others to explore the way first, and then the army will be sent to kill us all?" ”

Niu Ben squinted at Jin Yong, "I don't know who the general is?" Please forgive me for being short-sighted and not knowing the face of the general? ”

Jin Yong was furious. was about to have a seizure, and Wang Jian at the top had already said: "This is my general Jin Yong, after I led my troops here, after a bloody battle, General Jin is heroic and has made great contributions, and he is my right-hand man." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a rising star, disrespectful!" Niu Ben nodded. Jin Yong was ashamed and annoyed, but what Niu Ben said was indeed the truth, when Wang Jian led the army into the desert, he was still just a small general. This position is in the intelligence system of the Han army, and it is really a figure not worth mentioning. "What General Jin said just now is wrong, in the first war of that year, everyone was a participant. I also understand that that the war was not provoked by our Han, but caused by your country's brazen invasion of our Han. Since it is a war between the two countries, it is naturally the destiny of each other, but the war has ended, and the current situation is very different from that time. ”

Niu Ben pointed to the national letter spread out in front of Wang Jian, "What my king sent to General Wang is a national letter, which can already show my attitude as a big man." ”

What is this attitude, everyone here is very clear, the Han King sent a letter of state, that is, to regard their regime as an independent country, to send people to interact with them on an equal footing, of course, this is also what they value the most. Here, they are the rulers of the high, and if they return to Daqin, what are they counting, even Wang Jian, and they have to bend their knees.

"How do I believe that this is not a delaying tactic of the Han State?" Wang Jian's eyes swept over the national letter, "Since your envoy has come, he must have known that there is some kind of connection between me and Lu Chao, and now it is the moment when the Han State is preparing to attack Qin in a big way, and the King of Han must not want me to help Great Qin and pretend to make this move, once Qin is destroyed, will he immediately turn around and deal with me?" Speaking of which, I have a lot of hatred with Han! ”

Niu Ben shook his head slowly: "General Wang has not been to the Central Plains for several years, he must not know much about the situation in the Central Plains, and Lu Chao's envoy has come to you, probably to report good news and not bad news, for the Qin State, we have been slow to do it, not because we are not capable, but because we are unwilling to lose the lives of my Han soldiers for this, but also because the internal turmoil in Qin is coming, I am afraid that it will not be long before I will be in a mess, so to die, my Han is naturally willing to wait, and we are of course very willing to take advantage of the fisherman." And Lu Chao's envoy came here, thinking that he was trying to persuade General Wang to send troops from the desert to my Han when he was moving, so as to contain my Han forces and have no time to be distracted, so that he could do something rebellious, right? Niu Ben smiled: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of saying it, General Wang still has to consider, but he was not sold by Lu Chao!" ”

"I'm not stupid, I don't need you to remind me!" Wang Jian said coldly. "Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, once I send troops, I have given the Han people the excuse to send troops to attack me, even if there is a desert barrier, I don't think I can block the attack of the Han soldiers, so this matter, there is no need for your envoy to worry about it."

Niu Ben clapped his hands and smiled: "This is very good, General Wang knows that this is powerful, but I don't need to say more, but speaking of which, I am also here for this matter, and my Han also wants to ask General Wang and Lu Chao to make a false promise, although he promised to send a large number of troops to my northwest region to contain my Han forces, so that he can rest assured and bold to start this civil war." ”

Wang Jian smiled, "I promised Lu Chao, and even made some troop transfers to confuse him, so that he has no worries, and you can take this opportunity to march in a big way, when Lu Chao's main force leaves Hangu Pass, without my containment in the northwest, Hangu Pass will inevitably not be defended, lose Hangu Pass, Guanzhong Daping principle is all under the attack of you and other soldiers, without the surrounding counties of Hangu Pass, Lu Chao will become a toothless tiger, defeat will be in sight, right?" ”

"Of course, that's the idea we played." Niu Ben clapped his hands with a smile.

"Why am I doing this? What benefits do I get? Wang Jian snorted coldly.

Niu Ben smiled, "The first benefit you can get is that the Great Han will promise that as long as your soldiers and horses do not step across the desert, the Great Han will not take the initiative to attack you." General Wang, I believe that you must have wanted this promise very much. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the hall were moved, for them, this was indeed what they wanted the most, if they got the promise of the big Han, they could go all out to arrange a defense force to the north, to deal with the black-clothed food that might come in a big way. After a few years here, they have already regarded this place as their own home, and it is also their last safe haven, and if this area is not protected, they will become lost dogs again.

"How do I trust you?" Wang Jian looked at Niu Ben, "As far as I know, you have set up the Third Military Region, but I'm afraid that the target is me, right?" ”

Niu Ben shook his head: "The general is too worried, the establishment of the third military region, in fact, is the measures taken by our Han in order to strengthen the control of the northwest, the northwest is vast, there are few people, there are many nationalities, unruly, half people and half bandits, the establishment of the third military region, the main purpose is to target them, the third military region except for a small number of regular troops, the rest are all the guards who have been dismantled, their main task is to reclaim, open up wasteland, and gradually develop the northwest, the main purpose is to develop the local economy, and there is no military purpose, of course, there is no basis for words, if the general can see all this with his own eyes, he will naturally see it at a glance. ”

"Of course I'll send someone to take a look." Wang Jian nodded, "But just such a promise, I think it's still insufficient." ”

Niu Ben's eyes flashed, "I don't know if the general has any other requests that can be put forward, of course, I can only answer on my behalf, and I can't guarantee the result." ”

"Good!" Wang Jian said: "In addition to this promise, I have several other requirements, first, I will build a country, and I hope that the Han Kingdom will recognize the legitimacy of this country." ”

"Naturally, when our king sent a letter of state to the general, he already admitted this." Cow Runway.

"Second, I need help." Wang Jian looked at Niu Ben and said: "Your envoy has just come here, some of the circumstances are not clear, and now I am facing a great dilemma, if I can't solve this dilemma, I will be helpless, I can't really take all the soldiers and horses, cross the desert again, and return to the mainland." ”

Niu Ben took a deep breath: "I don't know what difficulties the general encounters, as long as he can help, my big man will naturally not refuse." ”

"Further north of my territory, there is a strong neighbor, called the Black Clothes Eater, now I have fought with them, although a small victory, but their strength is definitely not comparable to me, to be honest, I won only one of their losers in the struggle for domestic power, Rao is so, it also makes me feel quite difficult, I am very worried that their king will send a large army to come after stabilizing the domestic rule, you know, the land in my current control area is fertile, it will inevitably cause others to covet."

"Big food in black?" Niu Ben was stunned.

"Yes, a very powerful country, I will have people give you their specific information when I go back." Wang Jian said, "If the Great Han can give me great assistance in terms of materials, especially ordnance, so that I can block their troops, everything else is easy to say." ”

Niu Ben sat up straight, "I will report this situation to the country as soon as possible, of course, in return, I will first solve a big trouble in your current territory, General, I want to come to the Huyan Department of the Huns is still looking for trouble for the General, in the territory of the General, the only thing that has not been solved is this Huyan Department, this time I will take them away, how about the first congratulatory gift from our Han to the General?"
