If there is no vested interest in the struggle for hegemony among the countries, who will send troops to help you for no reason, and the superficial friendship between the two countries does not explain anything.

King Huan's request is considered from his own position, although Huan sent troops, there is no need to bear the grain, grass and ordnance, but the soldiers are going to fight, if the country does not get any return, how can he agree.

But this is a little unacceptable to the Jin Kingdom, because before, they have always been used to being high, and cutting the land is a great shame.

Seeing that King Huan's attitude was clear, the Jin envoy couldn't help but snort coldly, and then said: "That is the case, I will say goodbye!" ”

His tone was full of suppressed anger, even a fool could hear it, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked away.

Seeing this, King Huan shouted from behind: "Don't be angry, the envoy is a small land, what a way, this king is waiting for the messenger's news......"

Hearing this, the Jin envoy paused slightly, snorted coldly again, and left.

When he left, the court hall was suddenly lively, and a minister immediately stood up, bowed his hand and said: "O king, the attitude of the envoy of Guan Jin shows the anger in his heart, why is the king like this?" ”

"How else?" King Huan looked at him and asked, "Could it be that this king will let the soldiers of the Huan army shed their blood and work for the Jin Kingdom according to the conditions of Jin to make some gold and silver?" ”

"This ...... Wechen didn't mean that, it was just ...... It's just the matter of going to the county, I'm afraid that the king of Jin won't agree. The minister said.

King Huan said: "That's the problem of King Jin, but this king, you have to make this condition, understand?" ”

What he said was right, the minister heard this, and after a pause, he said: "But, but in this way, wouldn't it offend the Jin Kingdom." ”

"Huh." Hearing this, King Huan smiled and said, "What is offending? What is an ally? It's all driven by interests, the countries compete for hegemony, in the future, if Huan Jin has common interests, he will still be allies, otherwise, he will also be enemies. ”

This is the consideration that a monarch should have, after King Huan finished speaking, the minister was silent, and then, someone asked tentatively: "Then, if the Jin Kingdom is unwilling to cede Shangjun, what is the king's plan?" ”

"En......" King Huan thought for a while and said, "Isn't Qin Xiang here?" Why haven't you met with this king so far? ”

"This, Qin Xiangyan said that he was tired of traveling and driving, and he needed to rest for two days, recuperate his spirits, and then meet with the king." The minister replied.

"Oh?" King Huan raised his eyebrows: "This Qin Xiang has some meaning." ”

Liu Yuzhi has indeed arrived in Huandu now, but he is not in a hurry to meet King Huan, because he knows that the Jin envoy is still lobbying, and he needs to get some valuable information and make a final decision.

The official responsible for receiving him is Zhou Mao, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom, this person is also a faction that advocates Huan Guo as a wall-to-wall view, so he and Liu Yuzhi came here for the same purpose, in the past two days, the two have not talked less, Liu Yuzhi is from the side, keep asking Zhou Mao about some information.

After the next dynasty, as always, Liu Yuzhi came to visit again.

He is Qin Xiang, where is his identity, no matter how Zhou Mao is, out of the etiquette of the two countries, he must also be treated politely.

After the two had tea in the living room, Liu Yuzhi inquired about it again and said, "Lord Zhou, I don't know what your country is going up today, what the Jin envoy has to say?" ”

Zhou Mao was originally a watchman on the wall, and for Liu Yuzhi's arrival, he naturally hoped that Qin Xiang could persuade King Huan to keep Huan out of the matter, so he pondered for a while, and said: "It's not that set of rhetoric, but my king mentioned Shangjun today." ”

He didn't say anything, but when Liu Yuzhi heard this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "How does King Huan say anything?" ”

"Hehe, this ......" Zhou Mao smiled dryly, and then took a sip of the teacup.

It was inconvenient for him to reveal, and Liu Yuzhi was not reluctant, but from his words, of course, he had already seen his meaning, so he couldn't help but nodded slowly, and said with his face arched: "Thank you Lord Zhou for telling me." ”

"Where is it, I am also thinking about the country, this battle, Huan is really not suitable to participate, I hope that when Qin Xiang meets my king, he will succeed." Zhou Mao returned the salute and said.

Here, Liu Yuzhi stayed in the Huandu Post House for another day, and it was not until the morning of the third day that he asked to meet King Huan and was summoned into the palace of the Huan Dynasty.

No matter what happens to the Qin State, that Xiao Yuan is also an orthodox prince, the king of a country, Liu Yuzhi is the prime minister of the dynasty, called the Marquis of Xingguo, he is the envoy, because of his identity, the civil and military ministers on the left and right sides of the hall can't help but look sideways.

Liu Yuzhi bowed slightly to everyone, and then walked unhurriedly to the center of the main hall, and then bowed his hand, bent down and gave a deep salute: "Foreign envoy Liu Yuzhi, I have seen His Royal Highness King Huan." ”

His etiquette is neither humble nor arrogant, and the standards are in place, he can't find any faults, and when King Huan saw this, he also stretched out his hand slightly and said, "Hey? Qin Xiang doesn't have to be polite. ”

"Your Highness."

After Liu Yuzhi straightened up, King Huan asked directly: "Since the King of Qin is the envoy of Xiangbang, there must be a state affair to discuss, this king is in this palace today, and see what Qin Xiang has to say." ”

He went straight to the point, and Liu Yuzhi also did not talk nonsense, and said: "Today, the foreign envoy came to suggest on behalf of my king that His Royal Highness should not participate in the battle of Qin and Jin. ”

"Oh?" King Huan raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand with interest, and said, "Prime Minister Qin, please say, how to advise this king." ”

Liu Yuzhi said: "The reason why Qin and Jin are at war, the reason during the period, presumably His Royal Highness should know, it is all because the previous King of Jin did despicable things, when the four kings were present, assassinated by assassins, such behavior, has lost the national courtesy, let me ask Your Highness, put it on any country, who can bear it?" ”

"He Jin King assassinated, it is the monarch of my Qin State, my Qin State, after hearing about this, both the army and the people, are indignant, send troops, it is justifiable, if at this time, Huan Guo wants to participate in this matter, then it is the accomplice of the Jin State, not only out of the name, but also despised by the world, and from the next point of view, if the Huan army helps Jin, morale will inevitably be low, this point, His Royal Highness must not be observed."

After he finished speaking, King Huan couldn't help but pause, first glanced at the ministers of his country, and then turned his gaze to Liu Yuzhi, and said with a smile: "What Qin Xiang said, although there is some truth, it is not the absolute reason for my Huan country to watch from the wall. ”

Saying that, he said: "If the Huan army participates in the war, then in this battle, the Qin army will inevitably retreat, and before, all the results of the occupation of Yiyang will also be gone, and the king of Qin will be anxious at this time, therefore, in the opinion of the widow, Qin Xiang needs to be cautious in his words and deeds." ”

"And please try again."

"Huh." Liu Yuzhi smiled.
