The heated debate lasted for a long time, and in the end, even the imperial historian Li Xu, the middle doctor Tan Le and others were also involved, and they were stunned that they could not argue with the guard envoy Lu Jia. You must know that Nuo Yiyan can be regarded as the most eloquent person in Xianguo, and Li Xu can say that white is black, so he did not suppress Lu Jia, so it can be seen that in order to persuade Xianguo, King Wei chose a capable person who is very good at speaking.

None of the five scolders in the court failed to subdue Lu Jia, and King Xian began to be unhappy in his heart. In order to trade before, Wei Guo made a lot of noise and made him very faceless, and this time it was like this, King Xian became more and more angry, so he handed over Baili Yan with his eyes, and he understood that he stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

As soon as the words came out, the noise stopped, and the civil and military officials competed to look at it, and the king of Xian pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said:

"What does Yongxing Hou have to say?"

"The king, the minister thinks that the defense of the country and the army will attack the eldest grandson, and whether our country sends troops or not should not be determined by our Xianguo in any case. The Jin State is the upper state of our country, and it is also a marriage alliance, so whether to send troops or not, in Jin but not in me. The king of Wei came to lobby my king, which is really an arrogance, so the envoy of Wei is not enough. ”

"Well, what Aiqing said is extremely true. The Jin State is my upper state, whether to fight or not to fight, it is really difficult to decide, what do you love to do. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the ......"

……

Nuo Yiyan, Gao Xun and others agreed, and the guard envoy Lu Jia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and changed his face calmly and said:

"The Marquis of Yongxing's words are absurd, your country's soldiers are strong and the country is strong, and now it is standing in the forest of the strong, but he is willing to be at the mercy of the Jin Kingdom, is the King of Xian so willing to be ashamed of others, and take his own humiliation."

Bai Liyan said-for-tat:

"The envoy of the guard is poor, the Jin State and I are brothers and sisters, and the Jin State and the eldest grandson are allies with each other, and the Jin State fulfills the covenant, if my Xianguo rebels, how can I not be ashamed of the people of the world, such a reason for being intimate, don't the Wei envoys know."

"Your country was defeated by the hands of the Jin State and was humiliated, and now the Marquis of Yongxing does not want to recover the lost land, but helps the thief, this move is no different from recognizing the thief as his father."

"Hehe......" Baili Yan sneered: "Do you have less land to divide the country, Yan country, Chen country, and Zhao country, and swallow more than ten counties of Sun country, and you don't see your country feeling ashamed, but you are at ease, can it be that Qi, Yan, Zhao, Chen, and Sun Wuguo also recognize Wei Guo as their father." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed, and Lu Jia's face suddenly turned cold:

"Yongxing Hou, I should have respected your prestige, but I don't want you to be so ignorant of current affairs, it's a pity."

"The prestige of this Hou is all for my king, for the world, for the Central Plains bloody fight, how can there have been unrighteous and unkind acts, this Hou does not know the current affairs, my king knows, or with your country knows, my king and you have their own public opinions, I want to guard the envoy here to make a big statement."

Lu Jia's face was fearless, and he snorted coldly:

"Hmph, Yongxing Hou Weiming, it seems that this envoy is nothing more than that. Originally, the three treasures offered by my king were to let your country know the sincerity of our king, and know that our army was powerful, so that the two countries would not meet each other, so that your army would kill the lives of soldiers in vain.

Hmph, let's go! ”

Lu Jia turned around and brushed his sleeves to leave, and the more Bai Liyan thought about it, the more wrong the situation became. It is said that Wei Guo came here to persuade King Xian not to send troops, and he should not deliberately provoke the monarchs and ministers of Xianguo, which would be counterproductive.

Now that he has no intention of giving in, he is still so arrogant that there is no one in his eyes, and it must be false to say that the defense of the country is not afraid of the Xian country to send troops. But with such a domineering attitude, it is clear that the Patriotic military has other means to intimidate the Xian army.

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan handed away his eyes to King Xian, Jiang Hai understood and called out to Lu Jia:

"The Wei envoy left in anger, is the Wei King so immeasurable?"

Luja turned around and said indignantly:

"The monarchs and ministers of your country ignore the sincerity of our king, and make arrogant accusations and unwarranted criticism, which is really flattering, and the foreign ministers are ashamed to be in the company, which is insignificant!"

As soon as this remark came out, Nuo Yiyan was greatly annoyed:

"Guardian ......"

The words came out, and King Xian intercepted and said:

"Nuoqing, step aside!"

"My lord, this man is a very hateful man, and he must not insult my king's reputation by listening to what he says."

"The widow has his own decision, step back."

"No!"

Unwilling to retreat, King Xian continued:

"I don't know what treasure King Wei wants to offer, can make the well-informed Yongxing Hou lonely and unheard, whether the Wei envoy can open the treasure so that everyone can see the truth."

"King Xian has such sincerity, and he lives up to my king's good intentions. Someone's coming! ”

The guard raised his hand and clapped his hands three times, and the entourage behind him stepped forward one after another, and the first of the three one-foot-square treasure boxes was presented to the front of the palace by one person, and was handed over to the palace people and presented to the palace people on several cases in front of King Xian.

Open the vermilion lacquer-colored wooden box, King Xian's pupils shrank suddenly, and the joy jumped on his face, the prince on the right side glanced at it, and his heart also jumped, only to see the brilliant color of the dazzling, as big as the night pearl the size of a sea bowl, no, it was the night ball sitting quietly in the wooden box, which made people feel itchy.

Seeing that King Xian and the crown prince were happy, and the left and right Wuwen in the palace still didn't know what was at the bottom, Baili Yan pretended to have the courage to step forward and take a look, and was suddenly startled:

"Such a big night pearl is really rare, and this size will not be small in the future."

When he looked at King Xian's face again, his eyebrows were already dancing, and then the guard envoy Lu Jia said:

"This night pearl is the favorite thing in my king's life, and my king is willing to endure the pain of cutting his love in your country, in order to marry the salty king. As long as your country refuses to assist Changsun when you promise our country to send troops, this pearl of the night should be presented by foreign ministers. ”

King Xian was overjoyed at this time, and he couldn't put it down for the night pearl in the treasure box, and he was a little forgetful, and his attitude tended to soften:

"This treasure is really unparalleled in the world, I don't know what the other two treasures are carried by the guard."

King Xian couldn't wait to see the other two treasures, Lu Jia calmly asked people to offer the second treasure box and put it on the case of King Xian, opened the wooden box and looked at it, King Xian, the prince, Baili Yan's expressions immediately became complicated, and there was an artillery model in the box, the meaning of which was self-evident, it was a threat of force.

Seeing this, the prince took the lead:

"Guard, what do you mean!"

At this time, the artillery model was still in the box, and the left and right civil and military officers did not know what was in the box, and the prince questioned, which caused a lot of discussion for a while, and Nuo Yiyan, Gao Xun, Zhao Xun, Lu Gao and others came forward to watch one after another, and they were all taken aback.

That Lu Jia was silent, and his face was a little more proud, so he said with full confidence:

"The prince of Hui Xianguo, this is the latest type of earth-shaking fire in my country, my king has given this envoy, if your country can get better with my king, I am willing to sell this sky-shaking fire to your country for military purposes."

"Arrogance!" Nuo scolded with a word: "King, King Wei is deceiving me that there is no cannon in the Xian country!" ”

King Xian's face sank like water at this time, and his excellent mood was extremely bad:

"Envoy Wei, what does King Wei mean by this!"

Seeing that the monarch and ministers of Xianguo were angry, Lu Jia knew that he had already made a plan, and said proudly at the next moment:

"This kind of earth-shattering fire is infinitely powerful, and the sky-shaking fire used by your country is far inferior to this, because my king is grateful for the deep friendship with your country, so he is willing to sell this cannon to your country to form an alliance forever."

Lu Jia's words made Bai Liyan a little confused, he didn't think that Wei Guo could make a more powerful artillery than the new alloy steel artillery of Xianguo, after all, this is still top secret, and the casting process of artillery materials is not smelted by Wei Guo, he is more curious about the specific parameters of the new cannon in Wei Guo's mouth, which can be a few points more powerful than the artillery used by other vassal states in the current period.

"Is the envoy saying that this Heaven-shattering Fire Guardian is willing to be sold to my king?"

"Exactly, doesn't the Marquis of Yongxing want to sit on such an invincible earth-shattering fire to regain the lost land and be ashamed."

Lu Jia was very proud, and Bai Liyan asked:

"Then Ben Hou asked you, how heavy is this cannon?"

"It is equivalent to two catties of salty country, weighing about 11,000 catties of copper."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar:

"Eleven thousand catties, how much copper does this cost?"

"Yes, minting copper coins is a large tax, so expensive, even if I have to weigh it."

"That's right, it is rumored that 5,000 catties of copper cannons can send dozens of catties of iron pellets six or seven miles away, and 11,000 catties of copper cannons, how amazing is the range......

The hundreds of officials looked at each other and discussed, and they were all frightened by the volume of 11,000 catties. Only Bai Liyan, Zhao Xun, and Lu Gao exchanged their eyes with staggered eyes, and they knew very well in their hearts that it was useless to have heavy artillery, no matter how heavy you are, the range is far less than mine, the rate of fire is not fast enough, and the ammunition is not as good as mine, so what's the use.

At this time, the three of them were silent, and Bai Liyan then asked Lu Jia again:

"Dare to ask the guards, how far this cannonball projectile can shoot."

"The others only hear the weight but don't know the power, but Yongxing Hou knows its mystery, and he is worthy of being a Xianguo tiger general in the army. To tell you the truth, the projectile used in this 11,000 catties of earth-shaking fire weighs about 270 catties of Xianguo, and can be thrown to 14 miles, which is unique in the world and very powerful. I guess your country doesn't have it, hehe......"

Lu Jia smirked, and the ministers were all shocked. Only Bai Liyan, Lu Gao, and Zhao Xun crossed their eyes, and they knew very well in their hearts that this guy really didn't know the sky and the earth, and there was no one in his eyes.

It took 11,000 guns to send a projectile in the early seventies to a distance of 14 miles, not to mention whether this range and solidity were practical or not, and whether they could hit a rough target. The weight of the cannon is only 11,000 catties, and it is not in the eyes of the three people at all.

Yongxing 645 new cannon Zhao Xun and Lu Gao have already seen it, and its power is far above the 10,000-pound cannon of the country. The power and accuracy of solid projectiles are limited, at best, they can be used to siege cities to obtain better results, and they are used to bombard infantry formations, and they can only be effective without hundreds of large artillery, and this kind of 11,000-pound copper cannon cannot be equipped in large quantities with the financial resources to defend the country, and the purpose of intimidation and peddling is stronger.

Taking a step back, such a huge artillery still continues to use black powder, which requires a lot of time and manpower to clean the chamber, and the firing rate in an hour is less than one-tenth of the safe smokeless gunpowder of the Xian army.
