Chapter 484: Coercion and Temptation (II)
p
"King, Hexi and Yan have always been good friends, and there is no need to fight for a little thing."
"Look! Although Hanoi and Ji County belonged to Nanyan, the king had no time to take care of the southern route. ”
"And the Jin army on the south bank of the Great River is eyeing Hanoi, and instead of barely maintaining the situation, it is better to hand it over to Hexi."
"In this way, the king has no worries, he can not only focus on the defense of Yecheng, but also reunite with his relatives, why not?"
"As for where you are coming and going...... Hey! As long as Yan Guo agreed to the conditions of Hexi, Dadu Hu would never be interested in getting involved in this matter. ”
"Don't say that you want to cross the Yellow River in the south, you just want to go north to Liaodong, it's also your own business, and Wuguan in Hexi."
Listening to the words of the Hexi people, who were half threatening and half consoling, Murong De fell silent all of a sudden.
The reason why Murong De reacted so violently to the land cutting just now was mainly because he was worried that he would follow in Murong Yong's footsteps.
Back then, Xiyan Murong Yong was also forced by external threats to advance step by step in Hexi, and finally lost the country.
It must be known that Ji County is adjacent to Wei County, if the Hexi people harbor evil intentions, the iron cavalry will set off from Fangtou, and it will only take half a day to reach the slipway.
But if he refuses, Hexi will definitely not give up.
Let's not talk about whether the other party will go south to Taihang, then only need to inform the Southern Dynasty of Nanyan's intention to go south, which is enough to put Yan to death.
Just when Murong De was in a dilemma, he saw Han Zhuo next to him coughing lightly and said, "The envoy has worked hard all the way, please go down and rest for a while." ”
"As for your proposal, let my king consider one or two."
Hearing this, Li Xian got up and said goodbye and left, leaving Murong De and Han Zhuo alone without saying a word.
After Li Xian left, the more Murong De thought about it, the more angry he became, and Hexi took the opportunity to force Nanyan to cede Hanoi and Jijun, which was simply too deceitful.
How many counties are there in Nanyan? Cutting out two at once, equal to a quarter of the land is gone.
If he agrees like this, how can he, the king of Yan, face his subordinates and subjects?
Murong De was so angry that he swept the things off the desk, jumped up and pointed to the west and scolded.
Han Zhuo sat next to him, quietly watching Murong De vent, and said secretly: This time Hexi is indeed a bit of a bully, no wonder the king is angry.
However, ignition alone will not solve the problem.
Han Zhuo thought about it and thought that this time Hanoi and Ji County would not be able to save it.
"Wei Zhiyuan is really despicable, he actually used Chao'er to blackmail the widow and asked me to give up Hanoi and Jijun."
Murong De looked at Han Zhuo hatefully and said, "Don't drive, why don't we go to Tuoba Jue, and Wei Yan will send troops to clean up Hexi together." ”
Han Zhuo smiled bitterly: "King, it is not difficult to clean up Hexi with Wei, the key is what to do in the future?" Would you really like to go to Wei to be a rich man? ”
Murong De was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted.
Yes! As Han Zhuo said, joining forces with Wei can definitely force Hexi back to Taihang Mountain.
But what about after the fight in Hexi? Will Wei still allow him to continue to divide Yecheng?
Referring to what happened to Murong Sheng after the fall of Zhongshan, Murong De's best ending is probably to become a rich man in Wei.
If Murong De was willing to live his life in chaos, then he would have surrendered a long time ago, so why bother to support it until now?
Just as Murong De was blazing, he saw another guard hurriedly break in and deliver an urgent report.
"King, the king of the Northland is urgent!"
Murong De and Han Zhuo were shocked, could it be that Yecheng was in some trouble?
Murong De put aside the unhappiness just now for the time being, grabbed the emergency report, and read it carefully.
As soon as he finished reading it, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and cry out: "Oops, oops, how can this be!" It's over, it's over. ”
Next to him, Han Zhuo asked eagerly, "King, what happened?" ”
"The king of the northern land came to report that Tuoba Jue had sent troops, and Tuoba Lie led an army of 50,000 from Changshan to Zhao County."
Hearing this, Han Zhuo was also stunned, now there is Hexi to force the land to be ceded, and there is Wei State to invade openly, this is ...... How good is that?
Murong De was stunned for a long time, and finally took a deep breath, and said expressionlessly: "Don't go and tell Li Xian, just say that the widow is willing to accept Hexi's conditions." ”
"But I have two conditions, one of which is that the head of Jijun Fangtou still belongs to Nanyan to ensure the safety of the flanks of the slide."
"Second, Hexi must widely spread suspicious soldiers on the front line of Taihang Mountain to help my Nanyan force back the Wei army."
Faced with the sudden southward movement of the Wei army, Murong De had to compromise, otherwise Nanyan would suffer from the enemy.
It's not impossible to form an alliance with Wei, it's just that it's not easy to operate in the middle, and it's too late to make time.
It must be known that there is a blood feud between Wei Yan, and if he wants to reconcile with Wei, I am afraid that Murong De will need to spend a lot of time convincing others.
And now he lacks the most time, so he has to be persecuted by Hexi.
However, Murong De already had a grudge against Hexi in his heart, and he would definitely take revenge in the future.
……
When Li Xian saw Han Zhuo again, he found that the other party's expression was a little dazed.
"Han Don't drive comfortably? Why does it look a little sluggish? ”
"Huh? It's nothing, it's just that I think of Dayan's current situation and feel something. ”
In this regard, Li Xian just shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help.
Han Zhuo cleaned up his mood and forced a smile on his face: "Special envoy, the king of my family has decided to agree to the conditions of Hexi and cede Hanoi and Ji County. ”
"However, I need Hexi to send troops to help my Dayan force back the Wei army, and Fangtou cannot be ceded to Hexi for the time being."
"What? The Wei army went south? ”
"Hmm!"
Han Zhuo said with a solemn face: "The King of Wei sent 50,000 troops to the south, and its vanguard has penetrated deep into Zhao County. ”
"The envoy should know that Dayan alone is definitely no match for the Wei army, and Hexi must send troops to rescue as soon as possible."
"No problem! As long as King Yan agrees to cut the land, everything else is easy to say. Li Xian said briskly.
Judging from the current situation, maintaining the existence of Nanyan for the time being will have more advantages than disadvantages for Hexi.
Even, the people up and down Hexi wished that Nanyan would cross the river to the south instead of going north to join Wei.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about it, there's one more thing to trouble your country."
"What?! Envoy, you can't get an inch. Han Zhuo bit his cheek and said word by word.
"Hahaha, don't get me wrong, it's just a trivial matter."
After laughing, Li Xian leaned forward and lowered his voice: "I heard that after the destruction of Houyan, Taile Zhuyi hid in Yecheng, and my lord's heart was itching when he heard it. ”
"I specially asked me to ask, I don't know if I can let them go to Chang'an, so as to fulfill my lord's wishes."
The so-called Taile Zhuqi refers to the court band of the ancient imperial court, and the symbolic meaning is equivalent to the jade seal.
Some people may be puzzled, but it is just a broken band, how can it be compared with the jade seal of the country?
In fact, Confucius once called the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period 'the collapse of etiquette'.
It can be seen that music had a very high status in ancient times, and it had the meaning of sage education in ancient times, which had special significance.
In the past, after the Jin Dynasty unified the whole country, in order to show the peace and prosperity and the prestige of the Celestial Empire.
People with musical talents were recruited nationwide, and after layers of selection, more than 1,000 people, both men and women, were finally selected.
After rigorous training, a royal band was formed.
Since then, this band has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a treasure of the town.
Liu Yao captured Luoyang and moved Taile to Pingyang.
Jin Zhun made a rebellion, and Liu Yao moved Taile to Chang'an.
Shi Le destroyed the former Zhao and moved Taile to Xiangguo.
After Ran Min destroyed Zhao, Taile moved to Yecheng.
Qianyan destroyed Ran Wei, and Taile returned to Qianyan.
Wang Meng destroyed Qianyan and moved Taile to Chang'an.
Murong Chong invaded Chang'an, and Taile returned to Xiyan and migrated to the eldest son.
Before the demise of Xiyan, Murong Chong transferred Taile to Murong Chui.
Zhongshan fell, and most of the musicians fled to Yecheng.
Although this band has experienced the former Qin, Western Yan, Houyan, and Southern Yan, it has always been considered the most orthodox Taile and is known as the first treasure in the world.
Wei Shuo comes from modern times, so he naturally can't imagine the importance of Taile Zhuyi.
But Cui Hong, Jiang Ji and others are all rich and rich, and they have long coveted Taile Zhuyi.
Now that there is an opportunity to rescue them from Hu Lu, he will naturally not let them go.
In the face of Hexi's request, Han Zhuo didn't dare to be specialized, so he had to go back and ask Murong De for instructions.
Murong De's face was embarrassed, he originally planned to use it on the throne in the future, how could he give it up to Hexi?
Han Zhuo sighed slightly and said, "King, the land has been cut, and there are not a few musicians. ”
"With my Dayan's strength, I can't keep these treasures at all, so it's better to exchange them for some benefits."
"In exchange for what?" Murong De said in a muffled voice.
"Food, grass, ordnance, these are the materials we urgently need."
Han Zhuo sneered and said, "With grain, grass, and ordnance, the king can reorganize the army, be expected to hold Yecheng, and have the opportunity to go south." ”
"And this Wei Shuo is far-sighted, I'm afraid I wish we could go south, so as long as the king speaks, the other party will definitely agree."
Murong De took a few steps with his hands in his hands, came to the window and stared into the distance.
After a long time, he made up his mind and said, "Okay, just according to the intention of not driving, and reach a compromise with Hexi as soon as possible." ”
"The king is wise."
Soon Li Xian signed a cooperation agreement with Han Zhuo, the main content of which was that Hexi would exchange Murong Chao, some supplies, and assistance to Nanyan in repelling the Wei army in exchange for Ji County, Hanoi County (except Fangtou) and more than 120 Taile Zhuqi.
