"Foreign Minister Zhang Hua, meet His Majesty Wu."

The next day, at the grand court meeting of the Eastern Wu Imperial Court, Sun Hao consciously ranked the order of Zhang Hua's audience in front of Zhuge Jing.

"Hehehe, Mao is here first. After the last goodbye, I missed it very much. I wonder if the family is in good health? ”

His Majesty Lao asked, and the foreign minister was grateful. Jia Yan Jiaci is still in good health. ”

"That's good, then Mao Xian, you came this time, do you have anything to teach me?"

"Your Majesty is gifted and intelligent, and he is a rare British lord in the Wu Kingdom for decades. Zhang Huacai is shallow in learning, how dare he teach His Majesty. The foreign minister came this time to bring the goodwill of His Majesty. ”

"Oh? What does His Majesty of the Jin Kingdom have to say? ”

"My Majesty said that today's world is really like the Warring States of the year. Xishu has become a strong Qin. My Great Jin is about the same as the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Yan in the past. And the situation of Great Wu is similar to that of Chu in the past. ”

"Hehehe, this analogy is a bit far-fetched. How? Did Mao first want to learn from Su Qin and persuade me to participate in the joint investigation? ”

"The foreign minister has just said that His Majesty is the lord of England. The firmness of his will and the fortitude of his character are also admired by the ministers and His Majesty in the north. So the foreign minister is not prepared to lobby His Majesty. It's just that the general trend of the world is already like this, if Your Majesty is still allied with Xishu, with my Dajin here, Your Majesty will certainly be able to lie down. If my Great Jin is gone, can Your Majesty's Great Wu still exist alone? ”

"Maoxian's words are not right. If the Great Jin is gone, according to the agreement between the Great Wu Emperor and the Prime Minister Zhuge of Xishu in the past, the four states of Qing, Xu, Yu and Youzhou will return to Wu. And, Yan, Si, Ji Guishu. So, how could Great Wu be the State of Chu at that time? ”

"Hahahaha~~~~ Your Majesty. The foreign minister had heard about this for a long time. The minister also heard a story. In the past, the emperor of your country said to Deng Bomiao, the general of the Xishu chariot cavalry: 'If the world is peaceful, the two lords will be divided, and they will be happy!' ’。 And Deng Bomiao replied: 'There are no two days in the husband and the earth, and there are no two kings in the earth, if after the merger of Wei, the king does not know the destiny of heaven, the king has his own virtues, and the ministers have their loyalty, and will carry the drum, then the war will begin." 'Is this so, does Your Majesty think so?' ”

Zhang Hua's words made Sun Hao speechless for a while. After being silent for a long time, Sun Hao finally admitted defeat to this temptation that whoever asks the price first will fall into disadvantage: "What is the strategy of Emperor Jin for me?" ”

"Your Majesty has a credential here, please take the time to take a look."

In Sima Yan's letters, most of the words are analyzing the situation for Sun Hao, and they are similar to Zhang Hua. In fact, there are only three core and most tangible things: first, the Jin State of Hefei City is responsible for destroying it, and the Yangzhou Corps of the Jin State retreats a hundred miles to the defense line. Wu could advance the defensive line to the vicinity of Hefei, but it was not allowed to build a new city on or near the original site of the Hefei City Fortress. Second, Wu returned Xiangyang City to Jin. South of Xiangyang and north of Xiling, the two sides did not send field troops to each other. Third, Wu and Jin formed an alliance. Jointly targeting Xishu. If the two countries succeed in destroying Shu in the future, the Jin State will take Yongliang and the Wu State will take Yizhou.

It can be said that due to the gorgeous transformation of Shu Han into Ji Han, while occupying great benefits, it also completely solved the danger that the Yizhou faction in his country was gradually becoming stronger and the entire regime was becoming more and more family-oriented. Moreover, with a new generation of powerful ministers in control of the country, the execution and mobilization power of the entire Jihan government have been above the Jin and Wu countries. As long as Ji Han resumes Yongliang's production, it is impossible to say that there will be considerable danger in both Jin and Wu.

Therefore, the alliance between Jin and Wu is the general trend of the world that forces the two countries to form an alliance. The only way for this alliance to break up is for Ji Han to weaken himself......

Despite this, if the Jin and Wu countries are counted from the Cao Wei era, they have been fighting each other for many years. There are also many contradictions between the two countries. If these things are not resolved, the alliance between the two countries will not be possible. And the conditions given by Sima Yan hit Sun Hao's weakness firmly.

Your Jianye is a city without even city walls, aren't you just because of the existence of Hefei City Fortress and you have been unable to sleep and eat? How about I tear it down?

Aren't you Sun Hao bent on cleaning up the family in Jiangdong to revive the country's strength? How about the reduction of our respective armies on the border?

In this way, you will be able to sleep well and you will be able to withdraw the troops back to prevent the family from causing chaos. As for me, I can also transfer the elites of the central and eastern fronts back to Luoyang, reorganize the Chinese army, and strengthen the defense of the western front. That way, everybody's fine.

As soon as Sun Hao finished reading the national letter, his whole heart was almost settled.

Fortunately, this guy has finally been an emperor for several years at this time, and he is not the stunned young man he was when he first came to the throne. I saw that he nodded very calmly: "His Majesty the Jin Kingdom's meaning, I have received it exactly." The matter is serious, and I also ask Mao Xian to go back to the post house to rest first, and I will give Mao Xian an answer as soon as possible after discussing with the prime minister and other important officials of the court. ”

"The foreign minister received the order, and in this way, the foreign minister retired."

……

After Zhang Hua left the palace, Zhuge Jing was quickly led in.

"Hehehe, Xingzong is here this time, does your country's Grand Sima have anything to teach Yu Zhen?"

"Your Majesty is serious. Our country's great Sima is just a courtier, how can he be qualified to see His Majesty. The foreign minister's visit this time has brought with him the goodwill of His Majesty. "-Don't dig a hole for our chairman! He's had enough worries about him at this point.

"Oh, Your Majesty? When will Your Majesty be able to speak out? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing to say. If His Majesty insists on doing so, then the foreign minister will have nothing to say. ”

Hey, I lost two fights in a row. It seems that I really need to practice more in this eloquence: "Good, if there is anything in the Xingzong, let's say it directly." ”

"No. Your Majesty, the foreign minister is here on behalf of your Majesty to make a request to your country, to present two things, and to inform you of a matter. ”

"Please come along one by one."

"No, Your Majesty. The first thing about this, my country has just won Yongliang. This year, Guanzhong has experienced drought, locust plagues, and military disasters. Therefore, there is an extreme shortage of food in the whole Guanzhong. Your Majesty's intention is to ask Your Majesty to support our Han and Wu for the sake of the allies of Han and Wu for more than 40 years. Before February next year, we will support our Han with 2 million stone grain. If Your Majesty is willing to do this good deed, my Han will return this grain in three years, with an annual interest of one and a half percent! ”

When he said this, Zhuge Jing also had a toothache: how good it was when Sun Xiu was in power before. The state's control over local families is close to none. If today's Soochow is still the Soochow ten years ago, why would Lao Tzu look for you Sun Hao above the court? Tell the second master directly, two million grains? Step Er Ye is in a good mood, and it is possible to send it directly!

But now it's really not going to work. The Bu family fell, and the Shi family, who succeeded the Bu family in charge of Xiling, was about to die of illness again. Now the actual controller of Jingzhou in Eastern Wu is Lu Kang - this is Sun Hao's in-law. And with the complete end of the Lu Wang Party, the backbone families on the ground in Jingzhou are now all Huaisi faction - this is the most hardcore support force of the Sun family. Therefore, the current control of the Soochow royal family over the country has unconsciously improved a lot. Bulk grain input, Sun Hao doesn't nod, it's really not easy to do!

Although he sighed in his heart, Zhuge Jing's mouth did not stop: "In order to show the goodwill of the country to your country, and once again reaffirm the alliance between the two countries." If our country can get the grain supported by your country, we are willing to export two new varieties of Han bean and Han rice to your country! It is good to teach His Majesty and the ministers of Wu to know that Han beans are beans that our country's Great Sima has spent more than ten years carefully selecting and breeding, and the yield per mu is at least fifty stones! Han Dao ......"

"Slow down! You just said, that Han bean, the yield per mu is fifty stones? Or at least? ”

"How dare a foreign minister expire on such an occasion. Yes, fifty stone per mu is the minimum yield! The most, no less than a hundred stones. However, the foreign minister should also clearly inform His Majesty that the water content of this substance is much higher than that of rice. It's about five times that of rice. So, the actual dry weight shouldn't be that much. But! This thing does not pick a place, and it can also be planted in mountainous and sandy areas. Because of this, our country can double the area of cultivated land in the country within three years! ”

Looking at the Eastern Wu monarchs and ministers who had fallen into a stupid state, Zhuge Jing smiled slightly: "The foreign minister continued to talk about Han Dao. This thing is a new rice seed that took five years to cultivate by the new governor of Nanzhong, Wang Qi Wang Kongshuo, and its yield per mu is at least more than 30% more than the best rice in my Shu! ”

The so-called heaven and earth are big, and eating is the biggest. This is even more reasonable in ancient China, where food and clothing cannot be completely solved. So when Zhuge Jing reported these data, Sun Hao was the leader, and the monarchs and ministers of Eastern Wu couldn't help but start trembling.

But Zhuge Jing didn't give these guys a chance to think about their reactions at all, and still said to himself: "Your Majesty, in the battle to take Yongliang in our country, the 10,000 Wudang Flying Army from the Nanzhong region played a great role in the battle for the street pavilion. However, the climate in the north is too cold and there are few woods. Therefore, it is really not suitable for the Wudang Flying Army to stay in the north. Therefore, our country's Great Sima has ordered that all 10,000 Wudang Fei troops should be disarmed and returned to the field, and they should all return to Nanzhong. This will be done in the next two months. His Majesty and Da Sima both said that this is an ordinary military transfer, after all, Han and Wu have been allied for decades, please don't misunderstand Wu because of this! ”
