He is very confident, and he looks like he has eaten the country to death.

And he said this not without reason.

Wu.

At this time, King Huan had already sent Huan Prime Minister Qiu Rong to arrive in the capital of Wu, wanting to meet King Wu and seek military help.

In the situation of competing for hegemony among the nations, one-on-one singles almost rarely happens.

When a war is fought together, it will inevitably implicate other countries, either for the sake of interests or for the help of allies.

For a hundred years, this has been the norm.

King Huan didn't look for Qin, Xuan, and Ling, naturally there was a reason, and he could only find Wu Chu.

On the palace of the Wu Dynasty.

After coming in, Qiu Rong naturally bowed down and gave a deep salute: "Foreign envoy Qiu Rong, I have seen His Royal Highness King Wu." ”

"It turned out to be Huan Xiang, Xiangbang doesn't have to be polite, this time he entered Wu, I don't know what happened?" King Wu stretched out his hand with a smile.

Qiu Rong straightened up and said: "Recently, King Liang provoked trouble for no reason, wanting to start a war and invade the territory of our Huan country, His Royal Highness should know about this matter, right?" ”

"This king has heard a little." King Wu nodded and said, "King Liang is indeed too domineering, there is no reason to attack Huan, to put it bluntly, it is to rely on the combat strength of the Liang army." ”

"yes." Qiu Rong said: "Your Royal Highness knows that King Liang is unreasonable, you should understand the anger of my king, and besides, Huan and Wu have had several alliances with each other before, and this time, I also ask friendly countries to lend a hand." ”

He said very directly, and when King Wu heard this, he first thought about it, and then said: "It's not that this king doesn't want to help, but that the Wu army is not moving now, and once the army is transferred north, it will definitely affect the surrounding countries, such as Qin, Xuan and other places." ”

"Your Highness is worried, the Liang army is unknown, and the two kings of Qin and Xuan have no reason to use soldiers." Qiu Rong said.

King Wu shook his head slightly: "Having said that, the matter of war is not trivial, and this king has to be cautious." ”

"Xiangbang has been tired all the way, so let's rest for one night first."

King Wu obviously had a perfunctory taste of prevarication.

Qiu Rong couldn't help but be anxious, and said: "Your Highness, if the Wu army agrees to send troops, all the food and grass needed will be provided by the Huan State, and this war will probably not be fought, because once the Wu army arrives, it will definitely be able to deter King Liang and force him to retreat." ”

"And afterwards, I can promise that I will give Wu absolute benefits, including gold and silver, silk, jade, ......."

Although there were many benefits, King Wu still shook his head.

Then he looked at Qiu Rong and said with a smile: "Xiangbang doesn't need to say much, can the Xiangyin of Huan State exercise the right of diplomacy?" ”

"How can a country not even be able to settle diplomacy, isn't Your Highness joking!?" Qiu Rong's eyes widened, looking incredulous, and he even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

As a result, King Wu pointed out: "The seal of the countries can be the right to cede the land, and the state will make major affairs, but the seal of the prime minister of your country can't represent the country, right?" ”

What he said was obviously referring to the destruction of the alliance.

Qiu Rong was stunned.

Because that's the truth, it's a fact he can't change!

"This!" He said in a hurry, but he didn't know what to say.

Subconsciously looked left and right, and also saw the ministers of Wu State, all holding back a smile and looking at him with some kind of eyes.

He immediately blushed, feeling deeply ashamed, and longed for a crack in the ground to get into.

Where can I stay any longer, that is to tilt my head, arch my hand and salute: "Down, down to retire......"

As soon as he said that, he also fled and left here.

Seeing his back, the minister of Wu State coughed slightly, and then came out and said: "King, is it inappropriate to humiliate Huan Xiang just now?" ”

"Huh?" King Wu waved his hand: "That's the truth, besides, this can better reject Huan Guo." ”

King Wu took this as an argument, and without any more words, he let Qiu Rong retreat by himself.

The latter was humiliated by this, where could he stay in the state of Wu, and after leaving the palace, he set off directly and returned to the country of Huan.

By the time he came back, it had been more than half a month later.

King Huan was anxious to know the attitude of Wu Guo, and when he learned that the prime minister had returned to the capital, he summoned him as soon as possible and inquired.

Qiu Rong looked like he didn't know how to answer, and paused for a while before he said: "The minister is incompetent, and he failed to persuade King Wu, and the king forgives." ”

"Why is that?" King Huan was puzzled, in his opinion, King Xu Wu asked him to send troops to deter him, but it was not a real fight, and the other party had no reason to refuse.

"I don't know." Qiu Rong was sullen.

Seeing his appearance, King Huan frowned, and said on his face: "Since King Wu is unwilling to help, that's fine, but if Huan and Liang really go to war, we must understand the attitude of the Qin State." ”

"Therefore, the prime minister will work hard again, and go to Qin to meet the king of Qin." In King Huan's opinion, the relationship between Qin and Liang has always been good, and he has no choice, he can fight with the Liang army, but he has to worry about the Qin State to help Liang Guo.

Qiu Rong also understood this truth, but said: "The king should find other ministers as envoys, ministers, he really doesn't have that ability." ”

"Prime Minister, what do you mean?" King Huan suddenly looked displeased.

Qiu Rong smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "If you take the minister as the envoy, although the minister is the prime minister, but when you arrive in the Qin State, if the King of Qin humiliates the minister again, won't you lose the face of our country?" ”

"How is this possible, Xiangguo is the envoy, no matter what the King of Qin is, he has to take care of etiquette." Huan Wang Road.

"But what if King Qin expounds the facts? For example, he said that Huan was speechless, and Huan couldn't make diplomatic relations, how could the minister refute it? Qiu Rong asked rhetorically.

"This, the prime minister of a country, or a special envoy, can't be diplomatic?" King Huan's eyes widened.

"But the king, you have broken the covenant with the seal, and this matter has become a criticism, as long as the minister is the envoy, it will be mentioned by other countries." Qiu Rong Zhengse said, the dissatisfaction in his heart can be imagined.

Shame on you, it's a shame!

All this is the result of King Huan's greed for cheapness.

Hearing Qiu Rong say this, King Huan also remembered this matter, and couldn't help but regret and said:

"This, this, it's all the king's fault, don't mind Xiangguo, don't mind."

"How dare you." Qiu Rong smiled bitterly.

Subsequently, King Huan had no choice but to send another minister to envoy Qin.

At this time, the Huanliang border had nearly 200,000 troops stationed in each other, but the battle had not yet begun, but there were already clouds of suspicion.

When the envoy arrived in Qinzhou, Xiao Yuan did not avoid it, gave a normal etiquette reception, and personally met him the next morning.

King Huan thought that Qin Liang had allied with each other to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and the relationship should be very good.

But what he didn't know was that Xiao Yuan had never regarded Liang Guo as an ally, and the same was true for King Liang's side.

As far as the current general trend of the world is concerned, if the Qin State wants to compete for hegemony again, Xuan and Ling will not say it first, Wu Chuhuan is cool, and one must be destroyed.

On this issue, Shangguan Wenruo gave Xiao Yuanxian's strategic idea of unifying the north.
