Chapter 487: A Delaying Tactic
After the salute, Li Zhao straightened up and said: "Your Highness's army has been pressing the border and attacking Yan for several months, and the two countries are at war, and the people of the two countries can only suffer. ”
This kind of high-sounding words are better to say than to sing, and before Lu Chen could say anything, the generals of the Feng Kingdom in the hall had already sneered, and Zhao Chuan directly pouted and said:
"What Yan Xiang said is good, but in my opinion, I'm afraid that King Yan knows that he can't win the battle, so he has to send you over, right?"
Zhao Chuan has an upright personality, he will say whatever he thinks, but his words did not make Li Zhao angry, and he did not refute it, but said with a smile: "What this general said is reasonable, indeed, my Yan country's national strength is not as good as your country, and this war is also at a disadvantage. ”
Yo! I didn't expect Yan Xiang to be so generous, Lu Chen couldn't help but look at him a little higher, and after hearing this, he also said: "Yan Xiang said to seek peace, but you must also know that now that this king has broken through Leizhou, the next step is to take Lin'an, if Lin'an is broken, then Yan Guo will have no place to maneuver!" Do you think this king will agree to you at this time? ”
Lu Chen's answer seemed to have been expected by Li Zhao, after he heard this, he first smiled slightly, and then said: "Of course, His Royal Highness is now leading an army of 700,000 troops, and the momentum is monstrous, and it is natural to be able to run across the Yan land, but if I Yan Kingdom, if I am forced into a desperate situation, in the end, I will definitely be all soldiers, and the fish will be killed!" ”
When Lu Chen heard this, he first glanced at the generals in the hall, and then directed his gaze towards Li Zhao, and said with a faint smile: "Is Yan Xiang threatening this king?" ”
"Don't dare! It's just that according to the facts, His Highness is a generation of saints, and he must have his own conclusion. Li Zhao said in a flat voice.
Then, he suddenly said: "Seeking peace, it's just a nice thing to say, saying that it is seeking peace, but in fact, isn't it just descending?" ”
Oh? Hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but glance at each other, and Lu Chen was also quite surprised, he didn't expect that the prime minister of Yan Guo would be so straightforward. After a pause, he asked in a condensed voice: "How to make peace, Yan Xiang might as well speak bluntly." ”
Li Zhao said directly: "In order to show sincerity, my king is willing to bow to the northwest. ”
The capital of the Wind Country, it is in the northwest of the empire's territory, worship to the northwest, the meaning is already obvious, everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but widen, and they all showed incredible expressions, you know, that's the king of Yan!
Lu Chen also gasped, and said deliberately with some uncertainty: "Yan Xiang's words, this king is a little unclear." ”
"Huh." Li Zhao smiled slightly, and then said straight to the point: "My king is willing to bow down to His Royal Highness and pay tribute!" ”
What the!? Although they had already heard the meaning of Li Zhao's words before, but at this moment, when they heard him say it in person, everyone was still taken aback, and Lu Chen stood up directly, frowned and said, "Yan Xiangke knows, what are you talking about?" ”
"Since I am the prime minister of Yan State, I was ordered to come to see His Royal Highness, which naturally represents the will of my king, how dare I talk nonsense." Li Zhao said.
Hearing this, Lu Chen slowly sat back again, his brows furrowed even deeper.
However, Li Zhao continued: "Your Highness should still remember that when the four kings were destroyed, the imperial jade seal fell into the hands of my king, and my king is also the king of a country. Therefore, if His Highness agrees to sue for peace, my king is also willing to hand over the imperial jade seal to His Highness, and respect His Highness as the Son of Heaven! ”
As soon as he finished saying this, everyone in the hall immediately became excited!
That's the emperor! If the king could become the Son of Heaven......
Seeing this, Lu Chen hurriedly waved his hand to stop everyone, and looked at Li Zhao with a smile, and said: "Yan Xiang's meaning, this king already knows, as for the matter of asking for peace, this king can't answer you now, and I still need to discuss it with the ministers of my Feng Country." ”
"Now that the Wind Country is the overlord of the north, His Highness already has the strength to be the emperor! I, Yan Guo, also express my wish to respect His Royal Highness as the Son of Heaven, doesn't His Highness want to go further? Li Zhao followed closely, he probably didn't expect that the Wind King Lu Chen could be so calm when facing the temptation of the Imperial Jade Seal and the Throne of the Son of Heaven.
"Huh." Lu Chen smiled and said in a calm tone: "This king has already said that this matter needs to be considered, and I ask Yan Xiang to wait for two days." ”
"Okay." Seeing him say this, Li Zhao had no choice but to bow his hand and say, "In this way, I will retire first." ”
"Yan Xiang go slowly, please go to the Leizhou Post House to rest, this king will not send it." Lu Chen said.
And after he left, the hall of the county government was suddenly not calm, Xiao Wang was the first to stand up, he clenched his fists and said in a loud voice: "King! What Yan Xiang said is reasonable, now my Feng Country has occupied the northern part of the empire, and the king is eloquent and strategic, and he already has the strength to be the emperor! Now, Yan Guo has expressed his willingness to be a vassal to our country and present the imperial jade seal, and the king should go one step further and respect the Ninth Five-Year Plan is the ......."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Muzhi also stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is reasonable, the king, the world is strife, the countries are competing for hegemony, and the people of the Central Plains are all looking forward to ushering in the prosperous era of the unification of the world, the king is the emperor, and the dynasty is changed, which is in line with the will of the people!" ”
"But now the world is unified!? Kindness!? Lu Chen glared at him fiercely and said, "Let's not talk about Yan Guo as a minister, and Jing Guo in the east!" What about the green country in the south! Not to mention that there is also a Chu State! ”
Su Muzhi lowered his head, swallowed his saliva and said, "The king of Chu is mediocre and obsessed with the beauty of the jade concubine......"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen interrupted him and said sharply: "Although the King of Chu is so beautiful! But the nations are competing for hegemony, only Chu can be outside the whirlpool and be at ease, who knows, is this the self-preservation strategy of the king of Chu! What's more, Chu Di is still there, and hundreds of thousands of Chu troops are still there! And Qingjing is even more at war, how can the world be unified!? ”
At this time, Sima Wen also stood up and said: "If the king is the emperor, King Jing must look forward to the king's horse, there is no doubt about it." ”
"Huh, what? Lord Sima also thinks that this king can be called emperor now? ”
Lu Chen glanced at Sima Wen strangely, originally he thought that it was understandable that the generals in the army would persuade him to be emperor, but Sima Wen, a strategist, in this situation, should not agree with him being called emperor.
Feeling Lu Chen's gaze, Sima Wen organized his language and said, "Although...... Although the world is undecided, the general trend is the same, and the king is now called the emperor, and it is also possible......"
