Chapter 206: Tired Zhao Dun

On weekends, in order to increase the generals' ability to deal with things, I carefully analyzed them to listen. "There are still more than 10,000 remnants in the border cities of the Jin Kingdom, and our Chu army currently has more than 20,000. We can kill all the Jin troops. But reinforcements from the Jin army will definitely come. When the time comes, there will be no end to the war. It's better to give them some deterrence, so that they don't dare to move Cai Guo again. ”

Now, after protecting Cai Guo and recovering the field over the weekend, it's almost time to stop. After all, this time he only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses.

And if the border city of the Jin Kingdom is defeated, who will take care of it. The State of Chu is in charge of it himself, and there is a Cai State in between, which will become very troublesome to manage, and it will be bad if King Cai thinks too much. If it is handed over to Cai Guo to manage, it will be a curse or a blessing for Cai Guo.

There is no benefit at all from laying down the border city on the weekend, so why should he take the lives of so many soldiers.

"King Zhuang, at this time, you are still thinking about Cai Guo."

"Those grandsons are hiding in the main city and don't dare to come out at all." The generals of the Chu army were not without contempt for the Cai army. King Cai's previous actions when he resisted the enemy were originally disdainful of the generals of the Chu State.

When chasing the Jin army over the weekend, Cai Jun did not follow. This time the Jin State invaded the Cai State, and the Cai army suffered heavy losses, except for some old and weak soldiers, the Cai State only had less than 10,000 men and horses left. And Cai Jun is looking forward to King Cai. The Cai army did not follow, and it was clear that King Cai stopped them.

They can all see how they can't see it on the weekend.

"King Cai's bastard!" A general of the Chu army said indignantly. This time, Cai Jun didn't follow any of them.

The weekend waved his hand. "Don't say anything like that again." King Cai is indeed lacking in responsibility, but other countries are small and weak, and there are still some small countries around Cai, if Cai's army pours out, then the small countries around Caiguo are likely to take advantage of the fire to rob. King Cai must start from the overall situation.

Besides, I took other people's hands and ate other people's soft mouths. After eating and wiping off other people's daughters over the weekend, I have to defend King Cai.

"King Zhuang, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom are here!" The messenger came to report.

"Biography!"

"Yes!"

On weekends, take a seat at the top of the tent.

An old man walked in behind the messenger.

"Zhao Dun, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, see King Zhuang."

"You are Zhao Dun?" The weekend was a bit of a surprise. Speaking of Zhao Dun, he has made great achievements in the history books. Zhao Dun assisted Jin Wengong in his early days to achieve hegemony and was a generation of famous ministers. Zhao Dun not only has the ability, but also has a very long life, holding military and political power, after three dynasties, survived the Jin Wengong, and assisted the current Jin monarch Jin Linggong.

Jin Linggong succeeded to the throne at an early age, and when he was old, he liked to be sensual, favored Tu Anjia, did not follow the king's way, was unreasonable, and used heavy taxes to meet the luxurious life, causing the people to live a poor life. Later, Zhao Dun conspired to murder Jin Linggong and supported Jin Linggong's uncle, Ji Heibuttock, the son of Jin Wengong, and since then, the power of the Jin State has actually fallen into his hands.

Zhao Dun in front of him on the weekend, his face was wrinkled, his body was thin, and he looked no different from an ordinary middle-aged man, but he would not underestimate him because of this. Zhao Dun will never be as simple as he looks on the outside.

However, Zhao Dun will be in power for many more years. Now let's talk about the indispensable Jin Linggong. Speaking of Jin Linggong, he is also a famous faint monarch in history. The Chinese textbook I learned before the weekend seems to have the article "Jin Ling Gong Bujun". Anyway, it's a person who is greedy for pleasure. Zhao Dun is not easy to deal with, but Jin Linggong is different.

Before the weekend, he used energy cannons to attack the border city, firstly for deterrence, and secondly, for Jin Linggong to see. A person like Jin Linggong who is greedy for pleasure will never cause trouble.

Zhao Dun said slowly: "King Zhuang, the war between you and me began with the rebellion of Cai State, and now that the rebellion of Cai State has been resolved, why don't you and I release and reconcile?" ”

"I don't want to be an enemy of the Jin State, as long as the Jin State can agree to my three conditions, I am willing to withdraw my troops." On the weekend, he hit the nail on the head and directly aired out the conditions for retiring from the army. Dealing with such a treacherous and slippery person can't give him the opportunity to do tai chi.

"King Zhuang has put forward three conditions for the withdrawal of troops outside my capital, but the specific conditions are different when asked to the soldiers, but the soldiers have different opinions. Lao Zhuang Wang told me, let me clearly understand your conditions, Zhuang Wang, I will be better. Zhao Dun said politely.

At that time, the Jin army was frightened half to death by the energy cannon used by the weekend, and only scattered and fled for their lives. What conditions were put forward on the specific weekend, no Jin Jun really heard clearly.

"I have three conditions. 1. Cai Guo was invaded by you this time, and many cities were seriously damaged, and you should compensate them for their losses, so that Cai Guo can rebuild his homeland. If you do the math, a total of five hundred taels of silver is about the same. Second, this time to help Cai Shouguo, our Chu army suffered heavy casualties, and it cost a lot of money to the Chu State. These losses of my Chu State are all caused by your Jin Kingdom, and our losses should be compensated by you. I made a rough estimate of one place, and it was only two thousand taels of silver. 3. I have worked this expedition, and you Jin Guo should compensate me for my mental losses. Not more, five hundred taels of silver. ”

The weekend totaled three thousand taels of silver with the Jin Kingdom, which is not much from the current point of view, but in fact, there was a shortage of materials during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and silver was very rare. The Jin State has a lot of land and resources, and taking out three thousand taels of silver is still within their affordability, but it will also affect their national strength, at least for a few years, the Jin State will no longer be able to use troops. If you want to change it to Cai Guo, you don't have so much money even if you sell the whole country.

Zhao Dun was terrified inexplicably. Not long after King Zhuang succeeded to the throne, he heard that he was addicted to fun and had no interest in political affairs at all. I didn't expect it to be so sophisticated. If the Jin Kingdom really came up with so much money, Linggong would have no intention of fighting in the next few years. Although the Jin Kingdom was a big country, Linggong lived a luxurious life, searched extensively, and decorated the palace walls with colorful paintings. Every year, a lot of money is spent on pleasure. If he came out with three thousand taels of silver, Linggong would definitely die of pain, and he would never dare to attack Cai Guo in the future.

"King Zhuang, I can't promise you." The Jin Kingdom is rich, but that's all

"I have written a letter to Linggong. Whether you can agree to my conditions or not, you can't count. "If you want to refuse, let's wait until you're in power. By then, though, I had already finished my mission and returned to modern times. No matter how good Zhao Dun is, a monarch like Jin Linggong is useless.

Zhao Dun sighed secretly. If it's Linggong, it's really likely that you will agree. He could only rush back to the capital as soon as possible and persuade Linggong to refuse King Zhuang's conditions. I hope Linggong can listen to his advice.

"Zhao Dun said goodbye." Zhao Dun glanced at King Zhuang with some regret. If King Zhuang was the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, how good would it be.
