Chapter 398: Give for nothing

King Liang was brutal and bloodthirsty, and slaughtered the people in Shucheng to replenish the army's rations.

In a few days, the whole city was full of blood.

After collecting all the materials in the army, after the inspection, a general reported: "King, plus the grain and grass escorted by the Fanhuan army before, our army is now in reserve, if you save some, it will be enough for half a year, and in addition, the wealth of this city can also be used as military expenses." ”

"Good!" Liang Wang Dayue said: "The siege of Shucheng, how did Yue Zheng trap me for half a year!" ”

This war will not last for half a year.

Yue Zheng thought that if he cut off the grain and grass of the Liang army, he would be able to trap King Liang, but he never expected that King Liang would slaughter the entire Shu City!

And more than 90,000 Liang troops are now rich and have food, and their morale has not been hit at all.

At the same time, after learning of the defeat of the Huan army, at the suggestion of the minister, King Yan also began to send envoys to Huan, preparing to lobby King Huan to stop the battle against Yan.

Before, when the Huan army was not defeated, the envoy might not have much effect, but now, the effect is naturally different.

King Huan suffered this defeat, and because of the grain and grass, he returned directly to the country.

At this moment, he is also discussing with his subordinates whether to continue to participate in the Five Kingdoms War.

At this time, the Yan envoy came to ask for a meeting with King Huan.

At present, King Huan is not in the national capital, but has retreated to the border city of Huan and is temporarily stationed.

After seeing him, the Yan envoy naturally gave a salute first, and then, before he could speak, King Huan was already the first to ask: "The envoy is here, I don't know what is going on?" ”

"For the fulfillment of a good deed for His Highness." The flame envoy said directly.

"Oh?" Hearing this, King Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked with interest: "What is a beautiful thing, let's talk about it." ”

"That's right." The Yan envoy organized the language for a while, and then went straight to the point: "Your Highness is now in a state of retirement, and in order to thank Your Highness for this move, my emperor has specially ordered to come down and cede the land of the two counties to Huan State, so far I hope that Your Highness can renew friendship with our country." ”

"What!?" Hearing this, King Huan's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help leaning forward, looking like he was about to stand up.

"Your Highness heard you right, the land of two counties." The flame made the positive color repeat.

The territory of the Yan Kingdom is very large, if you can use the land of two counties and retreat from the army of one country, the Yan King is of course acceptable.

As long as there is one less Huan country, the Allied supply lines will become very long, and it is worth planning in the whole big war.

And these are undoubtedly great temptations for King Huan, who has always been greedy and selfish.

Seeing the Yan Envoy's tone of affirmation, his eyes were still wide, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then looked down.

Below, there are also standing Prime Minister Qiu Rong, and Commander Xiang Ge and others.

Xiang Ge didn't speak, his brows furrowed slightly.

Qiu Rong stood up and said directly: "What the envoy said is nothing more than that the Yan Kingdom can no longer withstand it and is in the stage of imminent defeat, otherwise, how can it be so." ”

"Huh? The prime minister's words are wrong. The Yan envoy waved his hand and said with a smile: "I came here with sincerity, and the meaning of my emperor is already very clear, and as for what the prime minister said, my country can no longer withstand it, which is nonsense." ”

As he spoke, he continued: "As we all know, the current war situation, the Qin-Xuan coalition army is under control of the Lushan area, the Liang army is besieged in Shucheng, and the spirit army is unable to advance an inch. ”

What he said was a superficial phenomenon, but from the perspective of Huan Guo, who was not in the midst of the war, it was the truth.

After hearing this, Qiu Rong was silent for a while, and then still objected: "In the land of the two counties, King Yan said that he would give up, what a big gesture, don't the envoys know that once our Huan army continues to participate in the war, the current battle situation will also change, right?" ”

The Yan envoy shook his head and argued: "Although I don't dare to agree with the Prime Minister's words, I have to admit that the participation of the Huan army in the war does have some impact on our country, but these are not important, the important thing is that after the Huan army participates in the war, His Royal Highness the King of Huan, can he get the land of the two counties?" ”

"This ......," Qiu Rong was a little stunned by what he said.

Yan Envoy is right, the Huan army will be in the alliance, it is completely soy sauce, and then there is a lot of friction with the Liang army, if you really continue to participate in the war, you will lose a lot of troops, not to mention, in terms of the merit of the alliance, whether it can be divided into two counties is really a problem.

What's more, this time King Huan was defeated and buried the allied supplies, and there is no doubt that the other four kings must have a great opinion of him.

The Yan envoy also immediately grasped this point and continued: "His Royal Highness withdrew from the front line a few times ago, and there are many gaps in the coalition army, with the ferocity of King Qin and King Liang, can they still tolerate His Highness?" Cooperating with them is to seek skin with the tiger. ”

"Not to mention what the final outcome is, now that His Highness can get two counties without spending a single soldier, what else is there to consider?"

Originally, King Huan was fooled by Li Po, the loss was not small, and Fa Yan was undetermined, if he didn't participate in the war now, he would be able to get two places, for him, it was undoubtedly the most perfect.

He followed the alliance, didn't he just want to fish in troubled waters and pick up cheap!

At this time, what the Yan envoy said can be said to be right in his heart.

King Huan's eyes rolled and he began to think about it.

Seeing this, the Yan envoy knew it in his heart, and immediately pretended to say: "There is only one chance, it depends on how His Highness grasps it, and he will say goodbye here." ”

After he finished speaking, Shi Li wanted to leave.

Seeing this, King Huan hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Slow down, messenger!" And slow ......"

The Yan Envoy smiled secretly, stopped his footsteps and said, "What else does Your Highness command?" ”

"Huh." King Huan laughed dryly and said, "This matter can be discussed, can be discussed, which two counties are your country going to cede?" ”

Hearing this, without waiting for the Yan envoy to answer, Qiu Rong was already anxious: "King! ”

It's just that at the beginning of his words, King Huan had already raised his hand to interrupt him: "Hey? The prime minister doesn't need to say much. ”

There is no doubt that King Huan is greedy and has always liked to take advantage of small advantages, and the arrival of the Yan Envoy this time also made him directly change his strategy, causing the Five Kingdoms to fight Yan and become the Four Kingdoms.

After discussing the land cutting with the Yan envoy in the hall, he was satisfied, and couldn't help but smile on his back.

The matter was finalized, the Yan envoy retired, and at this time, Qiu Rong couldn't hold back any longer, and said urgently:

"King! There is an alliance between my country and the nations. At this time, the troops must be dismissed! ”

"Huh? The prime minister was too worried, the king was just repelled by Li Po, and it was not that he did not participate in the battle in front. King Huan waved his hand.

"But the king, the minister's seal has been stamped!"

"What's that? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

King Huan said, and couldn't stop being excited:

"Oh, in this world, the land of the two counties is given for nothing, and it doesn't cost soldiers and horses money and food, you say, can this king refuse? There's no reason for that! Isn't that right......"
