No matter what the combat strength of the Huan army is, if the Huan country participates in the war, it will play a decisive role in the entire current war situation.

Therefore, on the matter of sending the envoy to Huan, Xiao Yuan considered it again and again, and immediately decided to take Liu Yuzhi as the envoy.

First, Liu Yuzhi is the prime minister of Qin, and sending him to it can show more solemnity, and second, Liu Yuzhi's work is all in the public heart, everything is considered for the Qin State, and he will go to be the most suitable person.

After it was confirmed, before leaving, Xiao Yuan deliberately had a long talk with him again, the latter received the order, and then took the envoy's guard of honor to set off from Qinzhou, which lasted several days and entered the territory of Huanguo, and after a few days, he arrived in Huandu.

At this time, the Huan State court was also engaged in a heated discussion on whether to participate in the war.

Some ministers of Huan believe that their own country should stay out of the matter, learn from the fire and spirit, and watch the fire from the other side.

Some people believe that the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, fought to the end, Qin, Liang, and Jin, will inevitably all be seriously consumed, and at that time, if their own country makes another move, there will be great profits.

Some people believe that under the condition of not offending the Jin State, they should prevaricate left and right, plan and then act.

Others believe that Jin is a big country, strong for several generations, and now at this time, his country should come to the rescue, pull this powerful ally, and prepare for the hegemony of the Central Plains in the future.

The ministers said everything, and their opinions were different, which also made it difficult for King Huan to make a decision.

And this delay is half a month, King Huan only said some scenes in the process of receiving the Jin envoy, and once it came to the issue of sending troops, he would change the topic with haha.

On this day, the Jin envoy entered the palace again, at this time, he was perfunctory by King Huan several times, and there was already a sullen feeling in his heart, so after paying tribute to King Huan in the court's hall, he went straight to the point and said:

"On behalf of my king, I sent an envoy to your country, and Your Highness, several times, did not give a clear answer, if Huan is unwilling to send troops to help our country, His Royal Highness directly stated that it is, so pushing back and forth, prevaricating left and right, it is really a loss for a big country."

He was also forced to be helpless, and he felt like he was going to die.

When King Huan heard this, he couldn't fool the Jin envoy anymore at this time, so he could only groan for a while, and said with a smile: "Huan Jin has always been friendly, since the King of Jin needs allies, then Huan Guo should help, but well, this matter of sending troops, the envoy also knows that it costs a lot of money at every turn, and once it is on the battlefield, the dead and wounded are also the soldiers of our Huan army." ”

When he said this, he just wanted to talk about the conditions, how could the Jin envoy not hear it, and immediately said: "If His Royal Highness King Huan is willing to send troops to contain the Qin army, then our country will definitely remember this kindness, and all the food, grass and ordnance needed by the Huan army will also be provided by our country." ”

"That's all?" King Huan raised his eyebrows, he didn't want any kindness from the Jin Kingdom, what he wanted was practical benefits.

"Of course, our country will thank you with a big gift." Jin envoy said.

"Oh? Why do you pay the most attention? King Huan's spirit was shocked.

"Two carts of gold are allowed to be loaded with 200,000 taels of gold, 10,000 horses of silk brocade, and jade and jade." The envoys came one by one.

This money, under normal circumstances, is actually very large, but for a country, it is not so amazing, King Huan shook his head in disappointment when he heard this.

Seeing this, the Jin envoy hurriedly said: "Of course, these are just a few gifts prepared by my king, if Huan Guo is willing to send troops to help, then our country will first defeat the Liang army and recover Guangling, and then turn around, clean up the weak Qin, and completely lock Qin in the mountain valley pass, and never go east, in this way, the king of Qin lives in a corner, which is in the general trend of the world, and it is also extremely beneficial for Huan Guo." ”

King Huan still shook his head and said: "The envoy said that Qin was weak, so that the King of Qin could not go east, this point, the widow still agrees very much, but the widow heard that the Qin army has captured Yiyang, even if our Huan army is now in the war, I am afraid that the Jin State will not be so easy to repel the Qin army, right?" ”

Seeing him mention this, the Jin envoy hurriedly said: "Your Highness doesn't know that the loss of Yiyang is not what it seems on the surface, but in fact, it is our king's military plan, which is intended to lure the enemy deeper." ”

"Really?" King Huan smiled and said with a smile: "But Yiyang is a military powerhouse, how important is it to choke the throat of Qin Dong, what kind of plan needs to use this place as bait?" The envoy's words are a bit self-deceptive, right? ”

"This ...... In short, as long as His Royal Highness is willing to help, it will be easy for our army to take back Yiyang. The envoy said.

"I don't think so, right?" King Huan said a word, and said: "Okay, the words have come to this, it is okay to ask this king to send troops, but Huan Guo, there is one condition." ”

"Your Highness, please." Jin envoy said.

"En......" King Huan pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, as long as the brother of King Jin is willing to cede Shangjun, then my Huan Kingdom will immediately send troops!" ”

"What!?" Hearing this, the Jin envoy's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness is joking?" ”

"Huh." King Huan did smile slightly, and did not speak, waiting for the Jin envoy to reply. He has coveted Shangjun for a long time, and he is greedy, and when he can ask for land, he will definitely not be soft.

This is a typical robbery while the fire is burning, not to mention that the Jin Kingdom has been strong for several generations, when has the land been cut for people! After the Jin envoy came back to his senses, he immediately couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but raise his voice a little more:

"His Royal Highness King Huan! When you act like this, do you take Jin Guo as a friend? ”

"Of course, Huan Jin has always been friendly, and this king and Jin Wang brother also have a deep friendship." King Huan said with a smile.

"That being the case! Why did Your Highness say this! Don't you want to take this opportunity to blackmail me into the Jin Kingdom! The Jin envoy was indignant.

Seeing him like this, King Huan couldn't help waving his hand slightly, and said, "Hey? Don't be excited, don't be excited, this time the Qin State attacked Jin, all because of the assassination of the King of Qin by Bai Ze at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, if the Huan State participated, there is really no reason, therefore, if there is no Shangjun, this king will not be able to explain to the soldiers of the three armies. ”

"Those are all false words of King Qin, intended to find a reason to attack my Jin Kingdom, how can His Highness believe it!" Jin envoy said urgently.

"But this king was also in Bai Ze at the beginning, and the king of Qin was indeed assassinated, if this matter was not done by the Jin Kingdom, who else could it be?" King Huan asked rhetorically.

"This!" The Jin envoy was even more anxious.

But King Huan didn't wait for him to speak again, and said again: "Now that my Huan country has opened the conditions, it's just a county, your country won't be so stingy, right?" ”

"Stingy?" The Jin envoy's face changed, and he said: "Your Highness deliberately made things difficult, and the envoy couldn't agree!" I don't dare to say yes! ”

He came this time, just to persuade King Huan, asking him to send troops, about cutting the land, of course he did not have that right, King Huan also understood this, so he said: "In this case, the king can wait for the messenger to pass the book back to China, tell the king of Jin, and ask him to make a decision again." ”
