Chapter 293: Negotiations Under the Muzzle (3)

"The King of Chu is really a thoughtful person, and he calculated that the King of Huai would not give the order to open fire, so he deliberately made this gesture to us, expecting that we are the same as King De, and we can't help you."

An Yi looked at the King of Chu and smiled slightly, turned to the giant ship behind him, and asked: "The Yangtze River Sailor's fortune ship is a full twenty guns on one side, forty on both sides, and hundreds of guns on the entire Sailor Division. ”

"I think you dare!"

The King of Chu raised his head expressionlessly, "There are 500,000 lives in Wuchang City, I don't know if you can afford it, or if he Gao Cixun can afford it!" ”

It is not surprising that the King of Chu knows that they are the people of the King of De, and it is estimated that when Xia Kou made a move on Liu Can, he had already received the news, after all, this is tossing on other people's territory.

"The prince of Chu is really deaf and clear-sighted, but since the prince knows that we are appointed by His Royal Highness King De, he should also know His Royal Highness's determination to the land of Jingxiang, right?"

An Yi raised his eyebrows at the King of Chu, and said solemnly: "At the beginning of April of the forty-first year of Chongzheng in Great Xia, Gao Ciyi, the king of Huai, was ordered to lead the Yangtze River sailors to patrol the river, but he was attacked by the sailors of the king of Chu for no reason, and the two frictions made the king of Huai shelled Wuchang City in a rage, which not only caused the ancient city of Wuchang and more than 500,000 people in the city to be tragically destroyed, but also the king of Chu Gao Youji also died under the shelling. Afterwards, King De schemed for the people of the world, and also to comfort more than 500,000 living beings in the city, killed his relatives in righteousness, and sentenced Gao Ciyi, the king of Huai, to death. At the same time, he took over the land of Jingxiang, rebuilt the city, and pacified his subjects. ”

Every word of Anyi's words was like a sharp nail, and the king of Chu Gao Youxian was uncomfortable, and after listening to it all, the king of Chu who was just awe-inspiring couldn't help twitching the corner of his eyes,

"What do you mean by that?"

An Yi smiled lightly, "It's not interesting, I just want the prince to know the determination of His Royal Highness King De." ”

"Uncle Wang thinks that your life or your nephew's life, whose is more valuable?" Gao Ciyi in front of him also had two eyebrows, one high and one short, and he interjected at a very appropriate time.

King Gao Youxian looked at his eldest nephew who looked respectful in front of his horse, took a hard breath, and asked, "Look at your posture, do you have to force this king to comply?" ”

"The prince's words are wrong."

An Yi followed the words of King Chu and said: "I know that Lord Chu is a thoughtful person, and he is also a person who can see through the current situation. Otherwise, after taking over the throne, he would not have written to the first emperor Chen He's concubine.

Since the prince has such a vision, why don't he know that if the current situation is today, he can't hide, and he must have a choice. Although His Royal Highness King De controlled the water division, he did not use force against the prince, but sent his own royal brother to personally find a way for the prince to solve the problem with calm and peaceful conversation. ”

An Yi felt that the old King of Chu back then was completely disheartened by the pickled matter of the "first to come", so he deliberately avoided the affairs of the court and the people in the court, but that incident was not so much a shady curtain that Queen Zhou pulled up, but it was better to say that the old King Chu did not know the current affairs.

Anyone can see that Queen Zhou is interested in her own nephew, and the old King of Chu has to take his head to touch the city wall of Wang Jing without believing in evil, but he ends up with a bloody face and finally makes himself depressed.

But later, the old king of Chu may have figured out the truth himself, and for the sake of face, he could only say that he was "not asking about political affairs", but in fact, he couldn't wipe his face and then bowed his head to Chongzheng.

So it can also be seen from this that the old King of Chu is indeed an upright man, without so much calculation and heart, which may also be one of the reasons why Chongzheng later tolerated some of his behaviors that were disrespectful, because Chongzheng knew that he couldn't do anything with such a "straight intestine", so why did he take care of you again and make himself infamous?

This also led to the later education of the old Chu King for Gao Youxian may be that these people in the court are dark and sinister, so that he should not be involved, just be like himself, and be a prince of Qingshui comfortably.

But from the moment the little prince Gao Youxian took the throne, he bowed his head to Chongzheng and knew that he was not necessarily willing to take his iron hat king comfortably and plainly, as his father thought, after all, this has made the entire Chu Wangfu more and more distant from the political center.

Therefore, An Yi can see that Gao Youyan's heart is definitely not as calm as water as it seems on the surface, and there is still a little bit of thought.

It's just that due to the influence of the genetics of the old Chu Wang's family of "wanting face and not lining", even if there is such a "person who knows the times", there is still a little "can't wipe off the face" for some things.

It is precisely because of this that the king of Chu himself still wants to hug the new emperor's thigh with the help of the battle for the throne.

But then again, he is weak, and he doesn't have any decent military strength, and he may not be able to have any great weight if he really licks his face to stand on King De or King Yong's team, and if he steps on the wrong place, he can't save his head if he doesn't get the Danshu iron coupon.

Therefore, this person who is more shrewd than his father does not know how many times Gao Yuzhi chose to respond to all changes without change,

Pull! The longer you stretch, the more you earn!

In the end, when Gao Cixun and Gao Cixiang came to find themselves, the value was naturally different.

merely

This King De came faster than he expected, so fast that before everyone could see the form of the world, he threw an olive branch to him, so that Gao Youxian was a little afraid to take it,

To put it bluntly, you lack the minimum confidence in King De, who knows if you Gao Cixun can kill Gao Cixiang? What if you lose? Don't pull me to the Chu Mansion to accompany the funeral.

"As for King De, let him come to my house to see me."

The king of Chu pondered for a long time, and after leaving a face of his uncle to his nephew, he rode a horse and turned away with his own soldiers......

..............

Although An Yi did not dare to agree, King De thought that it was only right for this nephew to visit his uncle.

He took An Yi and Gao Ciyi and his party of three people into Wuchang City, went straight to the palace of the king of Chu, and left Sun Dezhang's eldest son, Sun Zhiyuan, the former general of Longxiangwei, to take over as the commander of the water division, and temporarily took the Yangtze River water division to stop in Wuchang Port.

"Nephew, see Uncle Wang."

Gao Cixun, like Gao Ciyi, came up and gave a big gift to his uncle,

The King of Chu nodded expressionlessly, and then motioned for them to sit down, but when his eyes drifted over, he saw the brocade-clothed boy who had followed Gao Ciyi before and claimed to be a nobody, and asked suspiciously:

"This ......?"

If he was really a nobody, how could he be brought in by Gao Cixun?

Gao Cixun smiled and stretched his hand towards Anyi, and introduced to the King of Chu: "I haven't introduced it to Uncle Wang yet, this is my Daxia Jingyuan Uncle Anyi." ”

"Comfort? But that Jingyuan in the northwest is comfortable? ”

An Yi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "If you go back to the prince, it is exactly below." ”

"Hehe~"

King Chu raised his eyes, snorted coldly and said: "What a nobody, who am I so able to speak and argue, it is actually Jingyuan Bo Anyi, this king has admired the name of Uncle Ye for a long time, but I didn't think that you are so young." ”

"The prince has won the award, in front of the three princes, isn't he a nobody? This trip is just to accompany His Royal Highness King De and King Huai to discuss matters with King Chu. An Yi replied lightly.

"It's really nice to say, discuss matters, your artillery is going to raze Wuchang City, can I say that I can't negotiate with each other?"

The king of Chu shook off the three of them with a cold face, and then continued: "When it comes to seniority, both of you have to call me Uncle Wang, since the matter has come to this point, I will also open the skylight and say something." I don't want to say anything discouraged, but I still don't think the future is clear as to who will do it in the future of Great Xia, so I don't have enough confidence to bet my net worth and life on your Royal Highness. I'm serious, and the three of you bear it a lot. ”

"It's okay, there is nothing that can be said between uncles and nephews, Uncle Wang said, let's listen."

Gao Cixun listened to King Chu's words very kindly, and continued: "Uncle Jingyuan is also his own person, since Uncle Wang is blunt, then I, the junior, will not hide it. He was kind enough to edict my father's will without authorization, intending to usurp the throne, and the wolf's ambition was clearly revealed, and it can be said that everyone in the world was punished for it. If I raise an army to enter Beijing today, I will definitely go to the heavens, and the hearts of the people in the world are all in my hands, and I am ordered to suppress the thieves, I don't know why I can't win? ”

After hearing Gao Cixun's words, An Yi couldn't help but smile in his heart,

This impassioned remark is similar to the morale of the vulgar military men below, and when it comes to the king of Chu, I really don't know who I want to fool.

As expected, the King of Chu waved his hand at Gao Cixun after hearing this: "Nephew Wang, don't use these words to bluff your Uncle Wang, what kind of pretentiousness is not pretentious, whoever sits on Wang Jing's dragon chair has the final say." I don't know if you are the Heavenly Soldier, I only know that now he is sitting on the top of the main hall of the Forbidden City, holding the Gyeonggi Male Soldier in his hand, and there is King Wu who is heading north in the south.

As I said, when I don't have enough confidence, I won't put all my net worth and life into it, even if you bomb Wuchang City with King De's Yangtze River sailors today, and I go into exile in Beijing, then I am also the king of Chu in Great Xia. But if I just stand in the queue in a daze, it may be difficult for me to be a prisoner. ”

Although the words are not very good, what the King of Chu said is true enough, if you want me to help, you can, at least give me the confidence to help, otherwise in the end, it will be really dead to help you.

"This, we ......"

Gao Cixun wanted to explain something next, but was interrupted by An Yi's eyes, raised his hand to cover his nose in disguise, and pointed towards An Yi instead, "We have some detailed plans, let Uncle Jingyuan explain them to Uncle Wang." ”

The king of Chu turned his gaze to An Yi with some suspicion, and saw the latter nod slightly, and then said: "We know the difficulties of the prince, after all, the current situation is also here, even if the three of us are full of mouths, it is difficult for the prince to have enough confidence in us, as the prince said, for a thing that has no confidence at all to take the life of the family, I am also unwilling." ”

An Yi paused and continued: "So we came this time, not to pull the prince into the water, one does not borrow soldiers, two does not borrow silver, and three does not borrow grain and grass, so we only ask the prince to borrow a road. ”

"Borrow a road?" The king of Chu didn't understand the meaning of comfort very well,

An Yi smiled and responded: "That's right, ask the prince to borrow a road, borrow a road that can pass through Wuchang Mansion from the north and run through the north and south of the Great Xia Dynasty!" ”

The King of Chu was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Are you the idea of crossing the river from my Wuchang Mansion and then going straight to Liangguang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang?" ”

An Yi nodded respectfully, "The prince is really a clear-eyed person, and he doesn't hide it from the prince, this is the chess move he is playing." And during this period, the prince can gather your soldiers and horses to the west of Wuchang Mansion, and put on a look that he is afraid of our army's front and does not dare to advance eastward. At that time, if it is really him King Yong who wins the world, the prince will have an excuse to explain, right? ”

The last sentence is undoubtedly the most exciting for the King of Chu!

An Yi can be said to have put a situation that he most wanted for the king of Chu, Gao Youzhi, so that he could bet on both sides, no matter which King De or King Yong sat the lord of the world, Gao Youzhi could sit back and relax!

"Let this king think about it, so that in three days he will send an answer to you."

An Yi could see that although Gao Youxian was still "pulling", it was obvious that he was already moved, so he took the lead in getting up and arched his hand towards the king of Chu: "Then, I will thank the prince on behalf of His Royal Highnesses King De and King Huai." ”

"Hmm."

King Chu's face did not change, and Chong Anyi nodded.

Gao Cixun and Gao Ciyi next to him haven't reacted yet, what's going on, what's wrong? That's it?

But with all the words of comfort out of place, the two of them won't just sit here like mallets and not move at all, right? He also quickly stood up, arched his hand towards the King of Chu, and then turned around and walked out of the mansion.

As soon as he left the mansion, Gao Cixun couldn't wait to turn around and pull on his comfortable sleeve robe, and asked eagerly: "Uncle Jing Yuan, let's pull such a big posture, just finish these three sentences or two?" What happened to my Uncle Wang's three days? Do you say yes or no? Why didn't he mention the food and salary he talked about before? ”

Gao Ciyi in the back was much calmer than his second brother, just listened with his ears pricked up, and didn't say a word.

An Yi smiled indifferently at Gao Cixun, a "problem baby", and responded to him: "Your Highness, the King of Chu is a smart person, just talk to him and click on it." Didn't you hear him say that? Whoever wins, he helps whom! If you want the King of Chu to help with all your might, we just need to win, and we don't need to talk too much. ”

Looking at the comfortable smiling face, Gao Cixun could only cooperate with a very embarrassed smile and nodded,

He didn't show himself to be too stupid, but he really didn't understand the meaning of Anyi's words, he just muddled up*, and he didn't think about it.

Whoever wins, he helps whom!

Did the King of Chu say this?
