Chapter 187: Chu Li

Director Wang shook his head and said: "The Liaodong Mountains are vertical and horizontal, Murong Hao is another generation of heroes, Shi Hu wants to destroy Murong Ministry, but I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

Hearing this, Sima Yan nodded, and said softly: "If Shi Hu and Murong Hao have a long-term confrontation, it will indeed be a good thing for my Great Jin, we might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let them fight and lose both, and my Great Jin can just take the opportunity to attack the Central Plains." ”

"Your Majesty." Director Wang complimented, and then said lightly: "The strength of the Zhao State is far superior to that of the Murong Ministry, in order to allow the two sides to fight for a long time, my Dajin should help the weak Murong Ministry." ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Situ, what you said is extremely true, this is the so-called 'long-distance friendship and close attack' strategy, and helping the Murong Department is extremely beneficial to my Great Jin." Uncle Yu Liang opened his mouth to agree.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that it is time to help the Murong Ministry in order to jointly resist the Zhao State." Sikong Xijian also opened his mouth to express his attitude.

Seeing that the three important ministers all said this, Sima Yan also felt that there was some truth, but since Murong Hao claimed the king without authorization, the two sides had not sent envoys to each other for more than a year, so how could they help Murong Ministry.

"Three Aiqing, Murong Hao claimed to be the king without authorization, the connection between my Great Jin and Liaodong was broken, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and the communication is extremely inconvenient, besides, if I send an envoy to Liaodong, how should I call Murong Hao, is it called Lord Thorn Shi, or King Yan." Sima Yan said, frowning.

When Director Wang heard this, he replied decisively: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty, you might as well officially canonize Murong Hao as the King of Yan and recognize the fact that Yan occupies Liaodong." ”

"That's right, send an envoy to Liaodong to officially canonize Murong Hao, in order to contain Shihu." Xi Jian said.

"Your Majesty, Murong Hao has nearly 100,000 troops, and his strength should not be underestimated, if he can accept the title, it will definitely be a great blow to Shi Hu." Yu Liang clenched his fists and played.

Sima Yan scratched his head, the three important ministers are so optimistic about Murong Hao, it seems that this Murong Hao has to be sealed, but there is a saying called 'insatiable' Since Murong Hao dares to claim the king without authorization, he can't be sure, and he will directly call himself the emperor on a whim in the future, if so, how should he deal with it.

"Three Aiqing, Murong Hao claimed to be the king without authorization, and ruined my ancestral system of the Great Jin, I did not reprimand, but wanted to bend to meet him, wouldn't this be a big loss of face, Murong Hao will definitely think that there is no one in my Great Jin Dynasty, if I am the emperor in the future, I will be slapped hard!" Sima Yan frowned and said the hidden worries in his heart.

Uncle Yu Liang sighed when he heard this, hugged his fists and said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, it's just that my Great Jin is weaker than Zhao State, and for the sake of this Murong Department with 100,000 elite soldiers, it is worth it to be wronged." ”

"Your Majesty, in ancient times, there was a goujian 'lying on the salary and tasting the guts', and finally destroyed Wu in a war, I lost the Central Plains in the Great Jin Dynasty, and lived in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, and I have suffered enough grievances, and I canonized Murong Hao as the king of Yan, what is it." Xi Jian frowned.

When Director Wang heard this, he shook his spirits and said: "Your Majesty, I canonized Murong Hao as the King of Yan in the Great Jin Dynasty, the emperor is the king, and Murong Hao is the minister, what grievances are there, if the emperor is worried that Murong Hao will despise me and no one in the Great Jin Dynasty, you can send a strong envoy and send a team of elite soldiers into Liaodong to show the prestige of my Great Jin, so that Murong Hao will not dare to underestimate my Great Jin monarch and ministers." ”

"Lord Situ, what you said is extremely true." After listening to Director Wang's generous statement, Sima Yan suddenly came to his senses, he walked up to Director Wang, and asked loudly: "Wang Aiqing thinks it is safer to send that minister to Liaodong." ”

Director Wang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister was willing to go in person, but he was ill, and in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, he should send a respected general to go." ”

"Oh." Sima Yan responded, looked at the ministers, and asked loudly, "Which general is willing to send an envoy to Liaodong." ”

Han Qian, Mao Bao, Wang Yunzhi and other generals immediately came out of the ranks with their fists and were willing to take orders.

Seeing that the generals in the palace were all willing to lead the order to envoy Liaodong, Sima Yan was extremely proud in his heart, nodded, looked at Wang Dao, and asked, "Lord Situ thinks that it is more appropriate for a general to send an envoy to Liaodong." ”

"General Wei Chu is dignified, has a good conversation, and can be a messenger." Wang Dao hugged his fist and said.

Sima Yan looked up at Chu Li, and secretly sighed that Director Wang was shrewd, he just issued an order a few days ago to marry Chu Li's daughter to his younger brother Sima Yue, King of Langya, soon, Chu Li will become the imperial prince, Director Wang at this time, recommended Chu Li to envoy to Liaodong, obviously with the intention of promoting Chu Li.

And he also intends to promote Chu Li and send him as an envoy to Liaodong, which can be regarded as giving Chu Li a chance to make meritorious contributions.

"Chu Aiqing, the trip to Liaodong, please." Sima Yan looked at Chu Li and said seriously.

When Chu Li heard this, he hugged his fists and replied: "The emperor can rest assured, as an envoy of the Jin, Chu Li will definitely not lose the face of the Great Jin." ”

"Haha! Chu Aiqing sent an envoy to Liaodong, and I let go of a hundred hearts, and Murong Hao didn't want to underestimate my Great Jin monarch and minister. Sima Yan patted Chu Li's shoulder and encouraged loudly.

"Emperor Xie, the last general will definitely live up to his mission." The head of Chu Pi was ordered.

"Okay." Sima Yan nodded, looked sideways at Yu Liang, and asked softly: "Sending an envoy to Liaodong and canonizing Murong Hao, it is necessary to reward some gifts, and my uncle thinks that the reward is appropriate." ”

Yu Liang hugged his fists and said: "A thousand altars of imperial wine, a thousand taels of gold, a thousand ingots of pig iron, a thousand horses of silk, and a thousand deniers of japonica rice, so enough." ”

When Sima Yan heard this, he felt that these materials were not much, so he nodded and said, "The items for rewarding Murong Hao will be handed over to my uncle to prepare." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister will do it well." Yu Liang hugged his fists and took his life.

"Liaodong is thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, the road is far away, the land transportation has been cut off by the Zhao State, my Great Jin Mission can only take the sea route, how many ships are available for the Yangzhou Navy Division." Sima Yan said, looking at Xi Jian.

Xi Jian clenched his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I am the Yangzhou Naval Division, there are thousands of large and small warships, which can be called at any time." ”

"Great, Xi Aiqing, the sea is stormy, and the Yangzhou Naval Division, the biggest and best warships, will be transferred for the use of the mission." Sima Yan demanded loudly.

"The emperor can rest assured, the old minister will order tonight to mobilize thirty large warships, twenty large transport ships, and more than ten small boats to be responsible for reconnaissance and liaison." Xi Jian said without hesitation.

"Okay, great." Sima Yan shouted loudly, and then ordered: "Xi Aiqing, transfer the most elite soldiers and horses of the Yangzhou Navy Division into the mission, and we must ensure the safety of our Great Jin Mission." ”

Xi Jian bowed his head and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the old minister has allocated the most elite 'Qilin Battalion' to escort the mission, as long as there are 1,000 elites of the Qilin Battalion, above the water, even if the enemy army has 100,000 troops, it will not be able to help my Dajin Mission." ”
