Chapter 1067 - Cutting Relations (9)
After thinking for a moment, he continued to say what he had just said:
"According to Madame's wishes, how can my king obtain the title of King Ping."
Li Zhu took out a brocade at this time and covered the corners of his mouth and looked at her husband Ji Tong, Ji Tong understood and said:
"It depends on the sincerity of King Xian."
"Oh......" Bai Liyan sighed softly, and couldn't help but think: "It turns out that this hat is not clearly priced......"
Ji Tong's so-called sincerity obviously refers to the patriotic land occupied by the Xian army, which does not include the patriotic land that Liang has already occupied.
On the premise that nearly one county has already been swallowed, two more large counties will be swallowed, and the land area of Liang will increase from more than 500,000 square kilometers to more than 1 million square kilometers, and the expansion rate will be faster than that of Xianguo.
Bai Liyan faintly felt that the situation had become complicated, and the Son of Heaven suddenly made an offer, if the deal was finally reached, it would mean that he would betray the secret agreement he had reached with Wei Guo. And with the current situation, Liang Guo obviously shouldn't know the content of the secret meeting between Bailiyan and Weiguo, so he shouldn't dare to offend Weiguo again.
Therefore, there is only one explanation, Liang has calculated that Xianwei and Xianwei now have the intention of breaking the clamp of Liang and armistice as soon as possible, and Liang can only fish in troubled waters under the powerlessness of Liang to stop it, and exchanging land for the king is obviously the fastest measure, and King Xian will never refuse this tempting bait, just as King Xian will not refuse the title of county king back then.
Thinking through this layer, Bailiyan did not make a direct statement, but secretly thought. Seeing that he avoided talking about it, Li Zhu immediately said:
"What is the difficulty of Yan Gongzi?"
"The matter of the king's name should be decided by my king, and I don't dare to say anything in the future, so I might as well stay in the next place to explain my king and how to reply to my wife and the prince."
Bailiyan pretended to shirk, but Li Zhu did not relent:
"Yan Gongzi is the minister of the humerus of King Xian, the court is full of words, the matter of the king is beneficial to King Xian and harmless, Yan Gongzi should make a decision, if it is delayed for a long time, it will be a missed opportunity."
Li Zhu's urging made Bai Liyan a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would sacrifice the king number as a bargaining chip, because in his opinion, the king number was worthless at all, but he had to ask for it. And this is clearly a flashy empty check, exchanging land and population benefits for a useless king's name, which is simply stupid.
Further, the negotiations with the defense of the country have basically framed the land boundary after the war, and there will be resistance and difficulty in trying to cut it, but it seems that he has lost his trust. Although force can solve all problems, and politics has no absolute credibility to speak of, the principles and bottom line cannot be easily trampled on and abandoned, so it is very difficult to make changes within the scope that has already been framed.
Therefore, what really bothers Bai Liyan is what chips to exchange for the title of King Ping, so as to balance the current situation.
As long as he got this statement, as long as the Son of Heaven sent a letter of state to Xianguo, he was willing to let King Xian cut as much land as he defended the country, anyway, he was not cutting his own flesh, he would definitely not feel distressed, this is the intention of the Son of Heaven's calculation.
At this time, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, Bai Liyan's expression was calm and did not fluctuate, but Li Zhu's heart became nervous. She always got some past from Ji Kang's mouth, and she knew very well that Baili Yan had many faces in her treatment, and she didn't know when her face would suddenly become sharp.
After pondering for a while, Li Zhu cautiously said tentatively:
"Young Master Yan, the dishes in the house are appetizing."
Bai Liyan nodded in the affirmative, and said:
"The taste is quite beautiful and enjoyable, but it is late today, and the envoy of the eldest grandson is still waiting in my pavilion, and he can't sit for a long time under the forgiveness of his sins, so he will leave first."
After finishing speaking, Bai Liyan stood up and raised his hand to give a slight salute and was about to leave, at this time Li Yu got up and said:
"Yan Gongzi must remember the words of his wife, don't miss the opportunity."
"Madam, please rest assured, you have your own sense of proportion, farewell!"
The words fell, and Bai Liyan turned to leave. After he walked away, Ji Feng, who was always sitting on the side, said:
"What Bailiyan wants is different, and this matter still needs to work King Xian to be successful."
"If there is no Baili Yan's approval, King Xian will not be easily fooled, and he will fall into their trap at that time."
Ji's voice fell, and his wife Li Zhu answered:
"It's all your fault, you deceived King Xian too much back then, and it was even more difficult to make it even more difficult to fool him."
Ji Tong and Li Zhu actually have concerns, worried that Baili Yan has too much power in Xianguo, and King Xian will not let go easily under his intervention, and in the end, it will become a situation where King Xian can sit on the ground and ask for a price, and Liang Guo is passive. The king's title is usually a seller's market, and the majority of the princes are convinced, and the Son of Heaven will grant it, not if you want it.
But now it has become a buyer's market, and the Son of Heaven actually does not have the bargaining chips in his hands to effectively suppress Xianguo, but the chips are in the hands of Xianguo, so it is not easy to sell the king, and Bailiyan must agree and take the initiative to apply for purchase.
However, King Xian is a "fan of officials", in order to make anything for a certain official hat, so there is this gap here, whether it is affected by Bailiyan in the end, depends on the degree of obsession of King Xian, the deeper the obsession, the greater the probability of breaking through the resistance of Bailiyan. But Bailiyan took the initiative to loosen up, which obviously contributed to this matter.
From Bailiyan's standpoint, it is almost certain that King Xian will never listen to him for the title, so in his opinion, the king has become a seller's market, but obviously Li Zhuji Tong and they also have some concerns, worried that King Xian will be influenced by him. But they can quickly figure out King Xian's final attitude through internal channels, so it is Bai Liyan who is really passive in this matter, but Li Jitong has not yet noticed it.
Returning to the Xianguo Pavilion, the envoy of Changsun had already left, and according to Guan Longxiang, this guy had sat with a dead face all day, and he was willing to leave only when Bailiyan appeared.
"Duan Ling has been here for a day, but what can he say to Mr."
Bai Liyan asked, but Guan Longxiang smiled:
"Duan Ling came to know how the deputy marshal was going to dispose of the patriotic land."
Baili Yan was taken aback, and he hurriedly asked:
"Did Duan Ling say it himself?"
Guan Longxiang shook his head:
"No, it's just a guess, but it should be true."
Hearing this, Bai Liyan couldn't help laughing, and he said:
"This clown, when he dies, is still dreaming, it's ridiculous."
According to Guan Longxiang, Duan Ling came to defend the country's land. Before Dekang started the war, Changsun had reached a secret agreement with the Wei Guo Liang State, luring the Xian army to take advantage of Changsun and then annihilate together.
Now seeing that the combat strength of the Xian army is monstrous, he feels that he can't be provoked, and he is "shameless and does not use his extreme" delusional desire to seize the land of defending the country from the hands of the Xian State without a single shot, Bai Liyan feels more and more that the people of the Changsun Kingdom must be sick in their brains. Otherwise, in the current situation, his seven counties are still in the hands of the country, but he is still thinking about the land of the country, this is not a brain disease.
Bai Liyan always felt that Changsun Guo was not in the right state of mind at any time, he couldn't figure out how many catties and taels he had, and he always delusionally imagined that he was a big man and could bluff people, but in fact, he was a fart at all.
Learn more, Bai Liyan asked Guan Longxiang to go to the courtyard to talk about today's results, although Liu Boxun is the ambassador appointed by Bai Liyan, but he has been in Liang for many years, and he cannot guarantee the absolute loyalty of other personnel in the pavilion, but all top secret things, you still need to guard against the wall.
"The matter of the king's number is very tricky, and the gentleman has a good plan."
"With the temperament of the king, he will never miss the opportunity to be crowned king, and the deputy marshal must be embarrassed by this."
"Exactly, if the king doesn't care too much, this matter is easy to do, but the difficulty is that the king cares most about the title of the king, and no one can persuade him. At the beginning, when the Yongxing River war was the most difficult, the king could also take risks for the title of county king, and now the situation is very good, even if he wants to cut ten counties, his eyelids will not blink, and the Son of Heaven is using the king's mentality to set a trap. ”
"Does the deputy marshal want this king's title, or abandon it for protection."
"Of course you have to, the meat sent to the door has to be eaten, and Liang Guo should have seen through our country's plan to make a quick decision with the country, and we can't avoid asking for benefits at this time, if we avoid it, it will be inappropriate, and it will regenerate poison and calculate our country."
"That being the case, there is a way out of this siege. Since the Son of Heaven intends to exchange the title of king for land, why not connect with Wei Guo and add the title of king to Wei Wang. In this way, exchanging the same piece of land for two kings can not only relieve the worries of the deputy marshal, but also make sense of the country, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”
"Hiss......" Bai Liyan listened to the confusion, and hurriedly asked: "What does Mr. mean by adding a title to King Wei?" ”
"Imagine that if our country exchanges two counties for the title of king, it is the minimum of Liang and the maximum of our country, but the deputy marshal has promised Shen Tonghao to maintain the status quo and only give two counties to Sun Guo. Now that two more counties are allowed to Liang Guo, the deputy marshal is discredited by him.
But if King Wei is also given the title, King Wei will definitely not mind the deputy marshal ceding the two counties to the Liang State. ”
"But Liang Guo must also ask Wei Guo for land, at least two counties. Now the Wei State has occupied nearly one county, and the two countries of Wei and Xian have cut two counties, that is, four counties, and the counties in the eastern part of the Central Plains are not small counties. ”
"No, in the end, you only need to cut two counties, and both Weixian and Weixian can get the king."
As soon as this word came out, Bailiyan suddenly realized:
"Oh...... Ben Shuai understood, Mr. is saying that my country will exchange two counties for a king's name. Then the Hou Wei State uncovered the matter again, and then asked the Liang State for the king's name, but in the end only let two counties. ”
"Exactly, King Wei will never cede land in exchange for the title of king, so he can only tolerate it once. And all the land of the country is in the hands of our army, and our country does not occupy an inch of land, so nominally the counties and counties of Sun Guo occupied by the country are still decided by the king of Wei, and if the king of Wei does not allow the two counties to be ceded by our country, the state of Liang can do anything about it. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, what Mr. said is reasonable."
