The male Jia envoy Wan Yanhong, with the sincerity of the male Jia king, came to the territory of Sangla.

At this time, Sangla is recovering its national strength, there has been no war for several years, and various production activities have shown a thriving situation.

In fact, the conditions offered by the Liang Dynasty are not bad, they neither want the Sangla people to listen to the tune, nor do they need to pay tribute, they only need the Sangla King to accept the edict of the Great Liang Emperor, and verbally respect the Great Liang Emperor as the only emperor in the world, so the Great Liang can not ask for Sangla.

For this point, King Sangla still trusts the Han people, because throughout history, the Han people also do this, as long as Fanbang does not take the initiative to provoke, the Han emperor is too lazy to send troops. - After all, fighting a war is risky and very draining of national strength.

This time, the king of Nanjia used troops against Daliang, which has lasted for three years, and King Sangla agreed to his request at the beginning, but when the country of Nanjia went to war, he did not send out a single soldier. This made the male Jia Wang Wanyan Qiankun disappointed, and once gave up this ally.

But three years have passed, and King Nanjia not only lost the base camp in Liaodong, but also spent a lot of money on the battlefield in Hebei. Although he occupied the land of Hebei, he did not get the benefits he wanted, due to the continuous fighting, the enthusiasm of the people of Hebei to farm sharply decreased, and the refugees fled in batches.

What's even more hateful is that it caught up with a natural disaster that is rare in a century, first a drought, and then a locust plague, and King Nanjia was a little unbearable.

This time, Huo Zizhen led 200,000 troops and crossed the Yellow River in a mighty way, and the male king Jia did not have the confidence to win, so he asked Yelu Tianyou, the king of Youlu, to help, but what people didn't expect was that Yelu Tianyou died in Goryeo.

Goryeo, as a vassal state of the Youryū people, went there to prepare to eliminate the Buyeo rebels, but was killed by the Assassins. It's really laughable. After spending some money to inquire, I heard that a female assassin had poisoned his wine. The female assassin was said to be a Central Plains killer hired by the Buyeo people, and she was extremely beautiful.

But not long after, the male King Jia got another statement, saying that this female assassin of the Central Plains was sent by the Empress Dowager Cao of the Great Liang. It is said that Empress Dowager Cao is far-sighted and far-sighted, and doing so is really in line with her character.

But no matter who killed Yelu Tianyou, it was unfortunate for King Jia.

So Wanyan Qiankun immediately sent someone to find Empress Xiao and asked Empress Xiao for help, but Empress Xiao said, what can I do as a woman. Now that the whole country is mourning, several princes with real power are making trouble because of who to appoint as the new emperor, how can you let me help you at this time?

This sudden blow made Wanyan Qiankun panic, and hurriedly sent his younger brother Wanyan Hong, the king of Yan, to lead the delegation to make a detour to Yinshan to the Hexi Corridor to find King Sangla.

"It's not a secret, this king thinks that Emperor Daliang is still quite kind. You don't have to persuade me anymore, I won't send troops. King Sangla swallowed Misanza and said resolutely.

Both sides did not speak each other's language, but they were both proficient in Chinese, so they used Chinese to communicate.

King Sangla was over the age of sixteen, and he spoke in an old-fashioned manner, but the little prince Tunmi Buzan standing beside him looked heroic, and he looked quite dissatisfied with his father's statement.

Although he was vetoed, Wan Yanhong didn't look impatient, and said with a smile: "I don't know why the prince became so trusting in the Han people, but in my opinion, he must have been confused by the deception of the Han people." ”

Tunmi Sanzha was displeased: "How do you say this?" ”

Wan Yanhong said: "I guess the Han people must have promised something, such as never taking the initiative to do something to Sangla." ”

Tun Misanza said with a cold face: "Yes, it is indeed said. ”

"And you're going to believe it?"

"Whether you believe it or not, it also depends on the strength of this king." Tunmi Sanzha said: "I have 100,000 male soldiers under my command, if they call, my Sangla people are not vegetarians." As long as I have soldiers, their word is credible. ”

"You're right." Wan Yanhong stood up and said with his back hand: "When Emperor Daliang was still a little jealous of you, of course his words counted. But have you ever thought about it, if our male Jia is destroyed, and their Great Liang gets a chance to breathe, after a period of development, will the Great Liang Emperor still look down on your 100,000 soldiers? Starting from the Han Dynasty, the Hexi Corridor is the territory of the Han people, and further west, there is also the Anxi Protectorate, your Sangla King suddenly stabbed a knife horizontally, dividing the Liang Dynasty into two, do you think the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty will easily let you go? You're old, but you also have to think about future generations, don't you? ”

"Wan Yanhong, have you ever considered the consequences when you talk like this?"

"I believe that King Sangla has that bearing, listen to the truth!"

The negotiations quickly reached an impasse, but at this time, King Sangla's heart became less quiet.

After Yan Hong's words, he had already thought about it, but I don't know when it started, there was another voice in his heart, which gradually covered up this idea.

He felt that the Han emperor was credible.

He was even waiting, if the Fuhan people could eliminate the Great Liang Anxi Protectorate, then the Great Liang might not have the heart to fight the Hexi Corridor at all.

But what worried him was that Min Yue, the general of the Liang Dynasty, was in the Anxi Imperial Palace, and he was almost ancient, and he even returned him to immortality, and continued to guard the Western Regions with a group of old soldiers, and even Fu Shan Yu was afraid of him for three points.

After pondering for a long time, Tun Mi Sanzha said in a deep voice: "Okay, I have already thought about it, I still choose to believe in Emperor Daliang." Say no more. ”

Wan Yanhong looked a little annoyed: "I don't understand, why do you believe in the Han people so much?" Could it be that you still expect the right law people to help you contain the east side of the beam? ”

After saying this, Wanyan Hongchong made a look at the little prince Tun Mi Buzan, it turned out that before negotiating with King Sangla, the two had already met and hit it off. Today, I came to negotiate with King Sangla, and Wanyan Hong can be regarded as racking his brains, and he also paid a bloody capital to allow the daughters of King Jia to Tunmi Buzan.

"Father, my son heard that the Emperor of Youlu, Yelu Tianyou, died."

"Oh? How did he die? ”

"The mother of Zhao Ce, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty, Cao Yujia."

King Sangla was stunned.

Wan Yanhong sneered meaningfully and said, "Hehe, her name has been changed a long time ago." ”

"What's it called?" King Sangla asked.

"Cao Fadi." After Yan Hong finished speaking, he laughed: "It's funny, the word 'Fadi' is originally a Taoist number. Due to the famine in the Great Liang Dynasty for three consecutive years, she asked the Taoist master for the way to save the people. ”

King Sangla was puzzled for a long time and said, "Although this name does not sound mysterious or beautiful, the meaning is still obvious, and even ordinary people can understand it. Let the people know that the Queen Mother is still very troubled for the people to live. This name can have some effect of reassuring the people, and it can be said to be a good name. I don't know you, why are you laughing? ”

Wan Yanhong restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Wu Zetian, Cao Fadi." Don't you think these two names are a little interesting when put together? This woman is in power, she can't be taken lightly, and since she can assassinate Emperor Youlu, it can be seen that her ambition is not just to control the government. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and I hope that King Sangla can make plans as soon as possible. ”
