Chapter 958: Gradual encroachment is the king
Hua An took the document suspiciously, and gently opened it to watch, after reading it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Murong Jun's intention was clearly to encourage himself to rebel.
"You King Yan are really bold, you blatantly instigated this king to become emperor, this is a great rebellious crime!" Hua An looked at the envoy of the Yan Kingdom and rebuked loudly.
Wang San and Zhuge Xiong were also taken aback when they heard this, they obviously didn't expect that Murong Jun would have such sinister intentions.
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom was not panicked, smiled, hugged his fists and said: "The Northern King is angry, my king said that the world should belong to virtuous people, if the Northern King can dominate the world, my Great Yan Country is willing to surrender forever, and never be an enemy of the Northern King." After speaking, he bowed.
Hua An smiled and said: "King Yan instigated this king to usurp the throne and stand on his own, and his intentions can be described as extremely vicious, how can this king believe you lightly?" ”
Obviously, Hua An was very distrustful of Murong Jun, and was already sure that Murong Jun's actions were a sinister conspiracy.
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom smiled and said: "King of the North, the court of the Great Jin Dynasty is now controlled by the scholars, and the Son of Heaven is a yellow-haired child, they are not worthy of owning the world, and only a hero like the King of the North is worthy of owning the whole world, as long as the King of the North has great ambitions, the whole world will definitely surrender." ”
"You are presumptuous, you dare to despise my Great Jin Emperor, what crime should you be guilty of." Hua An said angrily.
Hua An was extremely shocked by such a blatant behavior of the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, and felt that the conspiracy of Murong Jun, the king of Yan, was not small this time.
"The king of the north is angry, my king really wants to express his admiration, after all, my great Yan country has won a hundred battles, but has been repeatedly defeated by the king of the north, and my king is extremely admired by the king of the north. And I really feel that only the wisdom and ability of the North King are worthy of owning the whole world, and I hope that the North King understands the hard work of my king. The envoy of the Yan Kingdom pretended to be sincere.
When Hua An heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "You Yan King will admire this king, because you hate this king!" Go ahead! You have been commanded to come this time, except to say these flattering words. What other purpose. After speaking, he looked at the envoy of the Yan Kingdom.
The envoy of Yan Kingdom clenched his fists and said: "Don't hide it from the King of the North, the king of my family sent him to come down, hoping to turn the war into a jade silk, retreat with the army under the command of the King of the North, and never invade each other." After speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Hua An's answer.
When Zhuge Xiong beside Hua An heard this, he said angrily: "Your Yan King is simply untrustworthy, as early as a year ago, your Yan King had already agreed with our army that Yi Shui would never invade each other. But the 300,000 main army of your Yan State suddenly crossed Yishui and launched an attack on our Hebei Army, and now, your Yan State army can't support it, so you came to sue for peace, how can you still make us believe. ”
Obviously, Zhuge Xiong was very annoyed by Yan Guo's untrustworthy words. And no longer believe in the promise that King Yan said.
"That's right, what you Yan King said. When did it count, and how could it make us believe. Wang San also said loudly.
Hua An looked at the envoy of the Yan State and wanted to see how the envoy of the Yan State explained the reason why the main force of the Yan army suddenly moved south.
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom was not in a hurry, and hurriedly explained: "The Northern King may not be clear, General Yao Xiang of Qingzhou. has long been attached to our Great Yan Kingdom, and General Yao Xiang's soldiers and horses are naturally the soldiers and horses of the Great Yan Kingdom, but the Northern King sent the Yanzhou Army to attack Qingzhou and attack General Yao Xiang's soldiers and horses. After receiving General Yao Xiang's request for help, my King Yan was excited for a while, and thought that the king of the north had violated the agreement first, so in a fit of anger, he ordered the main army of 300,000 to go south. After speaking, he looked at Hua'an.
When Hua An heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Your envoy is really sharp-toothed!" As far as this king knows, it was the Yao Xiang army that first attacked our Yanzhou with all its might, and then our Yanzhou army was forced to counterattack. ”
"Oh, I see, it seems that we have all been deceived by Yao Xiang, this is really a big misunderstanding!" The envoy of the Yan Kingdom hurriedly said smoothly.
Hua An smiled and said, "It seems that it is really a misunderstanding!" How do you Yan King plan to negotiate peace, and what conditions are there, let's talk about it! ”
Obviously, in order to balance the forces in the north and reduce the losses of the soldiers and horses under his command, Hua'an does not want to kill Yan for the time being, after all, a Yan State that is not strong does not pose a threat to him, and it can contain each other with Goguryeo, Buyeo and other countries in the north, so as to maintain the balance of power in this region, and then recover these lost territories after Hua'an's strength is enough to control the entire world.
Seeing that Hua'an had relented, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom was very happy, and hugged his fists and said: "It is still bounded by Yishui, and it does not invade each other, and the Great Yan Kingdom is offered every year, what does the King of the North think?" ”
When Hua An heard this, he smiled and said: "Now, the army under the command of this king has occupied an absolute advantage, and can break through the Yishui defense line at any time, and still use Yishui as the boundary, don't you take advantage of it, as for the annual offering, this king feels that there is no need, this king lacks nothing, and there is no need for the king of Yan." ”
"What conditions does the king of the north have, you might as well say it." The envoy of the Yan Kingdom, Zhengse asked.
Hua An thought for a while, and said: "This king thinks that the Dai County and Fanyang County of Youzhou must be ceded to this king, and all the soldiers and horses of your Yan Kingdom must retreat to the north of the water control, and you must not take the next step in the south, and dozens of cities in the southeast of Liaodong must also be ceded to this king, these three conditions are the minimum requirements of this king, if Yan Guo refuses to agree, it is insincere, and the two armies continue to confront each other." ”
Obviously, even if he wanted to negotiate peace, Hua An felt that he had to fight for his own best interests and weaken the strength of Yan State.
When the envoy of Yan Kingdom heard this, he was slightly surprised in his heart, after all, Hua An's request had exceeded Murong Jun's expectations, and this was not something he could decide.
"Beiwang's conditions, is it too high, otherwise, let's discuss it again." The envoy of the Yan Kingdom said softly.
Hua An hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is already the minimum condition of this king, this king has obtained information, the treasury of your Great Yan Kingdom has been empty, as long as this king lets General Xie Ai spend a few more months with the army of your Yan Kingdom, your Great Yan Kingdom will completely collapse, and at that time, the entire Youzhou and Pingzhou will be the king's, compared with this ending, how merciful the king's request is!" What do you think? After speaking, he looked at the envoy of the Yan Kingdom.
"The king is right, I still have more than 200,000 troops in Luoyang City, which can be transferred to Hebei at any time, and the soldiers and horses related to Zhonghe and Bingzhou can also be reinforced at any time General Xie, your Yan Kingdom will only fall in an instant, how to choose, you can do it yourself!" Zhuge Xiong said loudly.
When the envoy of Yan Guo heard this, he felt very nervous, but he couldn't make his own decisions about this matter, and he had to ask King Yan before he could give a reply, so he hugged his fists and said: "The king of the north is angry, he doesn't dare to make his own decisions in this matter, and he must consult King Yan before he can make a decision." ”
Hua An nodded and said, "Okay!" Then the noble envoy will return to Jicheng as much as possible and ask King Yan for instructions! Remember, you must go and come back quickly, if it is delayed for too long, this king is afraid that the treasury of your Yan Kingdom will not be able to support it for too long! ”
Obviously, Hua An's words had a slight hint of threat and intimidation, so that the envoy of the Yan Kingdom could understand the situation of the Great Yan Kingdom and report it to Murong Jun truthfully, so as to force Murong Jun to make concessions.
The envoy of the Yan Kingdom was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The king of the north stays and retreats below." With that, he took a few steps back and turned to leave.
After the envoy of the Yan Kingdom left the main hall, Hua An looked at the generals beside him and said softly: "Do you think that the King of Yan will agree to the conditions proposed by this king?" ”
"Your Majesty, the current Yan Kingdom is already at the end of the strong crossbow, as long as the Yan King is smart enough, he will definitely agree to the king's request, and losing some land is better than losing the country!" Wang San Zhengse said.
"Yes! Wang, with the current situation of Yan Kingdom, as long as the king is willing, he can completely destroy Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop, at least he should be able to recover Youzhou and Pingzhou, just ask for a few counties, it is too cheap Murong Jun. Zhuge Xiong said loudly.
Hua An smiled, and said: "This king is naturally very sure now, he can recover Youzhou and Pingzhou, but after all, Yan still has a huge number of soldiers and horses, if you really use force to attack Yan with all your might, our army's losses will definitely not be small, and the further north you attack, the greater the pressure on our army's logistics, in this way, it is also a great loss to the strength of our army, the most important thing is that this king is worried that the Jingzhou army will have abnormal movements, so you can't risk going deep into Yan too much, and, have you thought about it, if our army is at this time, At this time, small countries such as Goguryeo and Buyeo, if they take advantage of the weakness and take advantage of the fisherman's profits, we have worked hard to lay down Youzhou and Pingzhou, will not make a wedding dress for others, so no matter how you think about it, our army should fight steadily and steadily, and gradually advance to the north, and must not take down the land of the two states in one go, gradually encroach, and vigorously develop strength, which is the best policy. ”
Wang San and other generals heard this, feel that Hua'an said is very reasonable, the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the strength should be gradually developed, after all, no matter how much land is occupied, it must be developed, especially the development of agriculture is the most important, as long as the land is gradually occupied, and the local agriculture is well developed, you can use this as a base, continue to expand outward, this is the most secure road to development, but also Hua'an's tried and tested tricks, Hua'an has always relied on this method, from a corner of Liangzhou, Those who gradually grasp the land of the ten states, and in the future, they will also grasp more land and gain greater power.
