"Foreign minister Chen Qian, the general of the Great Jin Dynasty (Zhang Hua, the squire of the Yellow Gate), meets His Majesty the State of Wu."

"The two envoys are exempt, it's been a hard journey, isn't it?"

"Fortunately, thank you for your understanding, let the ministers rest in the post house for half a month."

Yes, Sima Yan replaced Wei at the end of July. In less than ten days, envoys were sent to Eastern Wu and Shu Han. Due to the road, Chen Qian and his entourage arrived at Jianye first. But now it was late August, and Sun Hao was received.

There is no way, the former Dongwu and Cao Wei have been fighting intermittently for more than 40 years, and there is basically no official contact. The two sides do not communicate with the envoys and do not recognize each other. This is a substitute for Cao Wei's Jin State envoy, how to greet the emperor of Eastern Wu is a headache, not to mention that there are many details that need to be tested by both sides and compromised.

"Hehehe, the envoy has stayed in my Jianye for half a month, do you have any feelings about my Jiangbiao scenery?"

Is this to test our literary standards? Chen Qian smiled slightly and waved his hand at Zhang Huayi. And Zhang Hua naturally came with his mouth open: "Look at the Yangtze River, but see the long whale swallowing the voyage, repairing the salamander and spitting waves." Leaping dragon and snake, shark mullet pipa. As for Stone Town, it is actually the root of the overlord and the foundation of the founding of the country. Guo Zhouza, the corner of the city. Through the gate 28, the waterway land Qu. Therefore, at the beginning of the scriptures, it was used to accumulate thousands of rituals. Xianzi Palace is a barracks room, and the court is long. The cold and summer are separated in the sky, and the rainbow is brought back to the cloud pavilion. So the straddle is also shining. ”

"Papapa~~~" After applauding very happily, Sun Hao smiled and said: "The messenger is really good." So I don't know what kind of scene Luoyang is? ”

"Luoyang is also in the world. The residence of Yongyu, the universe of the eight capitals. Jianmaoci is in Taotang, and Chabei Palace is in Xia Yu...... Build the wide hall of Wenchang, and the grand rules of the pole building. If the mountain is chongqing, it will rise to Cui Wei, and if it is like a Xuanyun Shu dragon, it will hang high. ”

"Humph! Then I asked the envoy again, after the Wei, Jin, and Chan dynasties, where is the Lord of Wei? ”

"There is discipline in reckoning, and there is an end in heaven. Spread the karma of Zen Zuo, thank you Wanbang. The emperor's grace is sufficient, and the emperor's virtue is rushing. Let the world be the public. ”

watched Zhang Hua praise Luoyang gracefully, and stood on the moral high ground to wash the floor for the usurpation of the Sima family. Sun Hao only felt a burst of envy: the talents in the north are really extraordinary.

Of course, after all, he has been the emperor for more than a year at this time, and he will not show his appreciation for Zhang Hua at this time - otherwise the fragile hearts of those courtiers in Eastern Wu will not be able to stand it: "After gossiping, let's get down to business." What does Emperor Jin want to say to me? ”

"My emperor greetings to His Majesty Wu State, in the past, Wei and Wu fought for many years, so that the lives were devastated, and both sides suffered great losses. Therefore, after the Wei and Jin dynasties, our emperor proposed that the two countries form an alliance and stop the war. ”

"Hehehe, I'm weird. My Great Wu has Xishu as an ally, and the southeast is the sea. The only enemy is you, the Kingdom of Jin. And what about your Jin Kingdom, let's not talk about Western Shu, it is Goguryeo and Xianbei in the east, the Xiongnu in the north, and the Qiang in the west. It's enough for you to be busy. In a word, your Jin Kingdom is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and even if my Great Wu does not form an alliance with you, there is only one side of the enemy. Why should I make an alliance with you? Sit back and see you wait until the Quartet is pacified before you come to attack me? ”

It can be said that Sun Hao's words are indeed the key point of the Jin Kingdom.

Cao Wei or Sima Jin. There is no doubt that its comprehensive national strength is the strongest in East Asia in the world, and the Han and Wu countries combined cannot be compared. But the problem with Jin is that his territory is vast, and it is all in the north. In addition to the Han and Wu countries in the south, as the climate of the Xiaoice River came into play, the ethnic minorities in the north also became more and more threatening and harassing them. In recent years, since the Cao Chao era, Wei and Jin have invested more and more in the north, which has seriously involved the national strength of the Jin State.

Moreover, on the historical level, the Jin State during the Wei, Jin, and Chan dynasties was a combination of Wei and Shu, and its strength was completely different from that of Eastern Wu. The current Jin State only has the basic territory of Cao Wei, and due to the loss of more than 200,000 young people at one time, its strength has been seriously weakened. He desperately needs time to stabilize and recover.

In this era, Soochow was still the second most powerful country in the East Asian continent. Therefore, after Sima Yan replaced Wei, Sima Fu's first suggestion was: immediately send high-ranking officials as envoys to form an alliance with Eastern Wu. Stabilize the Eastern Front first. Then seize the time to appease the domestic families and concentrate on cleaning up the Xianbei and Xiqiang that are about to move in the north. Talk about the rest later.

But your Sima family has seen the form clearly, and Sun Hao has not seen the form clearly. So what Sun Hao means is: Your strategic environment is much worse than mine, and you want to form an alliance with me? All right? What are the benefits?

At this level, it is not something that Zhang Hua can accept. So Chen Qian opened his mouth again: "Your Majesty, Jin and Wu have formed an alliance and can fight Xishu together." ”

"Hahahaha~~~ Duke Xiu Yuan, although I am young, I am not stupid. Xishu has a solid danger, if it weren't for the discord between the monarchs and ministers of Xishu two years ago, you wouldn't even have the opportunity to enter Zitong. Now that Xishu is in power, Zifeng is in power, and its national strength is rapidly recovering. At this time, even if our two countries cut down Shu together, you won't even be able to enter Hanzhong. Even if our country takes Padang, what will it do? ”

Phew! As far as you Dongwu group of war scum, can you take Badong? But at this time, of course, Chen Qian would not tell such a big truth: "Your Majesty, this is the second point that the foreign minister wants to say. Will a person like Guan Zifeng be a mediocre person who is willing to lie dormant in Xishu for a lifetime? ”

"Well, I'll admit you're right. But why didn't he do it to you first? ”

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, this is the third point that the minister wants to say. It has been forty-five years since Liu Bei stole the emperor's title in Xishu. Among them, the Ge thief took the initiative to commit five crimes in the north, and the ginger thief took the initiative to commit nine times in the north, but none of them succeeded. Then why does Guan Zifeng think that he can defeat the Ge thief and the ginger thief? How could he have the courage to brave the dissatisfaction of the entire Xishu army and people and invade the Yongliang of my Great Jin again? ”

Looking at Sun Hao, who was silent, Chen Qian bowed again: "Your Majesty, Guan Zifeng's grandfather is Guan Yu." ”

Now, classmate Sun Hao, you have to figure it out, Guan Yi, a young man, doesn't have the political burden of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei to crusade against usurpation - Cao Wei doesn't exist anymore. Now his strategic direction is very free. As a young minister, he must show a little military merit to stabilize his position after he has just ascended to the throne. So, to whom? We? They've beaten them more than a dozen times, but they can't get an inch! Why can't people use their brains against you? People have a grudge against you Dongwu to kill your ancestors!

"Well, then, if I make an alliance with the Jin State, how is the Jin State going to treat us?"

Hearing Sun Hao finally say such words, Chen Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister respects on behalf of my emperor, if Jin and Wu form an alliance." then the two countries are brotherly states. In addition to the withdrawal of troops and the end of the war, the two sides also formed a military alliance against Xishu. Attack and defend together, and carve up Xishu together. If Shu can be destroyed in the end, then I only need the three counties of Hanzhong, Yinping, and Wudu in the Great Jin. The remaining nineteen counties all belong to the state of Wu. Since then, the two countries have always been allies and have not invaded each other. ”

"Hahahaha~~ Duke Xiu Yuan. In the past, Fei Wenwei of Xishu sent me to Wu. His Majesty the Great Emperor asked Fei Wenwei, what if Wu and Shu succeeded in destroying Wei? Fei Wenwei said that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters for the people, and when the time comes, everyone will rely on their intelligence and kill again. So, Hugh Yuangong, I won't talk about the superfluous words. Jin and Wu formed an alliance to stop the war for the time being. I agreed. Don't talk about anything else. ”

So the ministers no longer disagreed. In addition, the foreign minister had the courage to say a word to the two ministers at today's court meeting of your country. I also ask for your Majesty's permission. ”

"Huh? Do you want to say to Shi Ji and Zhong Si (Zhuge Liang, the son of Zhuge Dan) that now that the Wei and Jin Chan dynasties have granted amnesty to the world, can the two of them go back? ”

"Hey, Your Majesty's foresight is admired by the foreign ministers. What His Majesty just said is what the foreign minister wants to say. Shi Ji and Zhong Si, Your Majesty deeply thinks of the two, and if Emperor Wu is gracious, please return home as soon as possible. ”

Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Dan's youngest son, and when Zhuge launched the Shouchun Three Rebellions, Zhuge Liang was sent to Dongwu as a hostage. As a result, this hostage became Zhuge Dan's only surviving blood relative. Now holds the position of Right General in Soochow.

In the early years, when Zhuge Dan and Sima Zhao were good friends, Sima Yan and Zhuge Liang were also children. Therefore, after Sima Yan ascended the throne, his invitation to Zhuge Liang was sincere.

And what about Zhonghui? Sima Yan didn't know how dangerous a person like Zhong Hui was - it was the best that even the traversers didn't dare to receive!

"Hahaha~~~ Shi Ji and Zhong Si are my ministers of the humerus, and I can't bear them. However, I am a human being, and I have always paid attention to the freedom to come and go. Therefore, as long as Shi Ji and Zhong think north, I will not be embarrassed. ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your magnanimity, Zhong Hui has recognized His Majesty as the British Lord since he was in Wucheng County. Zhong Hui has no intention of returning north. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister and the Sima family have a grudge against their father, and they will never return north!"

Hey, I'll just say it. Needless to say, a filial son like Zhuge Liang. What a smart man Zhong will be. Now that he is serving as Shang Shuling in Eastern Wu, he is the most trusted person of Lord Wu, why do you want to go back? Go back and tear up with Jia Chong and Yang Jun or something?

"Hehehe, good. Let the two messengers go down and rest first. If you want to leave our country, please let me know in advance, and I will also prepare some return gifts for Emperor Jin. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister is leaving."

However, when Chen Qian and Zhang Hua had not yet walked out of the main hall, they heard a shrill voice of a eunuch: "Xuan, the envoy of the Shu Dynasty goes to the palace~~"

Special note: The paragraph Zhang Hua said in this chapter is quoted from Zuo Si's "Sandu Fu". The characteristics of the literature of the two Jin Dynasty are that the prose is dominant, and the rhetoric is beautiful and gorgeous. When I was in middle school, I used it as a bedtime read.
