Chapter 913: Diplomacy (1)
The Pandia envoy asked, "Your Majesty is too alarmist, isn't it?" ”
The Pandia Kingdom is a matriarchal social system, all the people in power in the country are women, and the family is also the head of the family, men have no right to speak, they can only bury their heads in work and be responsible for childbirth, if there is a conflict in the family, men will be beaten and abused, yin and yang are reversed, and its king is the queen!
Su Po said: "This king is by no means majestic and sensational, now our country has adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness in the border area, abandoning some cities that are not easy to defend, moving the people there to the south, and sending heavy troops to garrison Xiongguan can only barely delay the southern invasion of the Western Qin army, our country only has 70,000 soldiers and horses, and the Western Qin army has nearly 100,000, all of them are warriors, and they still have nearly 200,000 servant troops, even if the main army of the Western Qin army does not move, they can only use the 200,000 servant army to destroy our country, All the envoys present, none of our southern countries can resist the attack of the Western Qin army alone, if our country is destroyed by the Western Qin army, then the next is your kingdom, we Tianzhu people can only unite to block the Western Qin army, it is possible to drive them away, otherwise the fate that awaits us is the extinction of the kingdom! ”
The envoy of the Zhu Luo Kingdom said: "But Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Western Qin army has not killed the northern countries cleanly, as long as they surrender, they will not harm the surrenderers, and they will continue to be in power and continue to govern the people under them!" ”
Su Po snorted coldly: "Hmph, those who surrendered have become puppets, they are only nominal kings, but they have lost the right to be the masters of their own affairs forever!" ”
The banquet lasted more than two hours, and Su Poha still did not have the idea of agreeing with all the envoys, some of whom had been convinced, while others did not have the right to make a decision, and had to go back and report to the king. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Chola country, by the sea.
A strange large ship without any flag gradually approached the coastline, which soon made the fishermen of the Chola country discover that after the news reached the nearest town, a group of officers and soldiers of the Chola country appeared on the beach, and they were on high alert for the strange boat that had stopped on the seashore.
When the ship had come to a complete standstill, a gangplank was lowered from the ship, and a group of strangers stepped out of the boat, one of whom was at the front of the line with a scepter, followed by a Tianzhu merchant.
General Zhu Luoguo, who led the team, pointed at the group with a sharp blade in his hand and scolded loudly: "Who are you? Why is it here? ”
After listening to the translation of the Tianzhu merchant, the man holding the scepter said to the general of Zhu Luoguo in Chinese: "Your Excellency, the envoy Zhu Tao sent by the King of Western Qin is here to meet His Majesty the King of your country!" ”
After listening to the translation of the Tianzhu merchants, General Zhu Luoguo asked, "Is there an envoy's scepter and an official document?" ”
Zhu Tao raised the scepter, and took out a diplomatic letter, a soldier of the Zhu Luo State stepped forward to take it, and the general of the Zhu Luo State checked it and said: "Since it is the envoy of the King of Western Qin, then please go to the nearest town with the general to live temporarily, and wait for me to send someone to report to the king, and the king can only decide your behavior when he has instructions, please!" ”
"Thank you, General!"
Three days later, Zhu Tao was sent by the king of Chola to take him to the palace of the capital.
"Zhu Tao, the envoy of the King of Western Qin, has seen His Majesty the King of the Chola Kingdom!"
King Chola said: "Your Excellency the envoy has come from afar, and it has been hard! Our envoys in your country Xinjing also thanks to your country's care, before the founding of the Western Qin, our country sent envoys to stay for a long time, but the Western Qin is the first time to send envoys to our country, which makes the king very puzzled, your envoy came to our country this time, I don't know what? ”
Zhu Tao said: "So that the king will know that the year before the founding of my Western Qin, I had invited the emperors and kings of all countries in the world to watch the ceremony, and many emperors or kings of all countries were invited to go, even if they could not go in person, they also sent envoys, and the envoys of your country were among them, but none of the 36 countries of Northern Tianzhu sent envoys to meet our king, they were extremely despised by my Western Qin, and did not take my Western Qin in their eyes at all, my Western Qin is a state of etiquette and righteousness, but they are not polite, and they are also barbaric countries!" Moreover, the 36 countries of the North Tianzhu have been fighting with each other for many years, making the people there miserable, so the king of our country decided to send troops to crusade against the 36 countries of the North Tianzhu in a fit of anger, in order to punish the lords of those countries for despising our country, and came to rescue the people of the North Tianzhu from fire and water, and now the people of the North Tianzhu no longer have to suffer from the war, and live a peaceful and peaceful life. However, the Zhongtianzhu countries thought that our Western Qin was meddling, and attacking the Northern Tianzhu was a threat to them, so they sent troops and horses to attack us, and our army had to be forced to fight! Those who take the initiative to provoke trouble will inevitably be punished, so they failed, and now the countries of Southern Tianzhu think that my Western Qin is a great threat to them, and they have decided to unite to attack us together, I don't know if His Majesty knows about this? ”
After hearing these words, the muscles on King Chola's face trembled a few times, and he said, "This king has heard about it, what does it have to do with my Chola kingdom when His Excellency the envoy said this?" ”
Zhu Tao asked, "Didn't the king of the Rashidra kingdom, Supoha, send an envoy to contact His Majesty the King to discuss jointly dealing with my Western Qin?" ”
King Chola said, "They sent people, but the king ignored them!" ”
"Really?" Zhu Tao said; "His Majesty's approach is correct, our Western Qin has no intention of confronting the Southern Tianzhu States, but if the Southern Tianzhu States want to unite against my Western Qin, I, Xiqing, will definitely not turn a blind eye. Now that I have been sent to your country by my king, I just want to hear the thoughts of His Majesty the king, whether your country has decided to join the Southern Tianzhu Alliance, or will you ignore their lobbying and invitations, and will never join them to fight against our Xiqing? ”
King Chola didn't know how to reply to Zhu Tao, "Well, ・・・・・・ this?"
There was a minister of the Zhu Luo Kingdom next to him who saw Zhu Tao persecuting the king like this, and immediately said angrily: "Bold, Your Excellency, please pay attention to your words and tone, how can you talk to my king like this?" ”
Zhu Tao said: "Your Majesty, please forgive my tone, the reason why I ask this is entirely for the sake of His Majesty the King and the future of your country!" Your Majesty, please think about it, even if the southern countries succeed in forming an alliance, they are only scattered, they all have different aspirations, and they will not all do their best to fight against our country, but our country is a unified and powerful country, with a population of nearly 30 million, thousands of generals, millions of warriors, and extremely powerful national strength, it is definitely not something that those small countries in Nantianzhu can defeat by forming an alliance, let alone the Zhuluo country can match, as far as I know, the Zhuluo country has less than 20,000 soldiers and less than ten generals, and the future of the Zhuluo country is all in the mind of Your Majesty, If Your Majesty agrees not to join their alliance, after the decisive battle between our Western Qin and the Southern Nations Alliance is completed, the Chola Kingdom can remain as it is, and we will not be unfavorable to the Chola Kingdom, Your Majesty is still the king of the Chola Kingdom, but if the Chola Kingdom joins this alliance, once this alliance is defeated, the ending waiting for Your Majesty will be extremely miserable, if the Chola Kingdom joins our Western Qin side and jointly deals with us against the Southern Nations Alliance, after the matter is completed, the Chola Kingdom can get the land, population and wealth that Your Majesty wants, That's going to be a lot of effort for Your Majesty! ”
After hearing this, King Zhuluo's face changed more than a dozen expressions, and he was about to show a reluctant smile and said to Zhu Tao: "The envoy's words are understood by the king, but this matter is very important, this king needs time to think about it, and he also needs to discuss with the ministers and generals, why don't you arrange for your envoy to stay in the city first, and then reply to your Excellency after we discuss a result here?" ”
Zhu Tao smiled and got up and saluted King Chola and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go to other places to meet the kings of other kingdoms, so I won't stay here longer, but I will definitely come back in the next place, I hope Your Majesty can give a clear reply in the next one, because this kind of opportunity is not much for Your Majesty!" I hope Your Majesty will think it through."
"Well, this ・・・・・・, since Your Excellency the envoy is going to other kingdoms, this king will not stay with Your Excellency, I don't know which country Your Excellency is going to, this king can also send someone to escort Your Excellency!"
Zhu Tao said: "In the future, I will also go to the kingdoms of Pandia, Zheluo and Pallava!" ”
"The kingdom of Jerra is the closest to here, and this king can send 500 troops to escort His Excellency the envoy there."
Zhu Tao saluted and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" ”
King Chola really sent 500 soldiers to escort Zhu Tao to the kingdom of Zheluo, Zhu Tao came here for the first time, and he didn't know about the situation in Nantianzhu, which can be described as a black eye, since King Chola took the initiative to send troops to escort him, Zhu Tao really couldn't ask for it.
After sending off Zhu Tao's delegation and his entourage, the minister couldn't help but complain to King Zhu Luo: "Your Majesty, how can you send troops to escort the Western Qin mission?" Isn't this tantamount to telling your neighbors your attitude toward the Western Qin Kingdom? Countries such as Pandia, Zheluo, and Pallava will definitely think that our Chola Kingdom has taken refuge in the Western Qin State! ”
Seeing that the minister had a bad attitude towards him, the king of Chola was very unhappy and said, "What if I, the Chola Kingdom, took refuge in the Western Qin Kingdom? Isn't it good? Could it be that this king really wants to join some bullshit alliance to fight against the powerful Western Qin army? Our Zhuluo Kingdom has a total of less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not enough to even stuff the teeth between the Western Qin army, how can we fight with others? Don't look at the Rashidharakuda Kingdom and the Karinga Kingdom are now jumping up and down and contacting the countries, wanting to pull us over to deal with the Western Qin army together, they really can't resist it themselves and want to pull us over, if we really wait until the catastrophe is coming in the future, these two big countries will not care whether our small countries are dead or alive! The reason why this king sent troops to escort the envoys of Western Qin was to leave a good impression on him, even if we didn't take refuge in Western Qin, we could not join any party, and no one would be offended, how good? ”
