Chapter 963: Murong Jun compromised

52_52583Murong Jun and all the courtiers under his command were all taken aback when they heard this, they didn't expect that Hua'an would ask for the two counties of Youzhou in one go, and directly advanced the defense line to the south bank of the water control, which is only a water away from Jicheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, so that the capital of the Yan Kingdom has become the border, once the Xie Ai Army of Hebei is stationed on the south bank of the water control, it will be like a sharp sword, hanging high above the head of the court of the Great Yan Kingdom, if there is any wind and grass in the Great Yan Kingdom, Xie Ai's army could immediately send troops to threaten the safety of Jicheng, thus putting the capital of Yan Kingdom in extreme danger.

"Your Majesty, Dai County and Fanyang County are two counties that are very important to my Great Yan Kingdom, and we must not hand over these two counties to the Northern King, otherwise, Jicheng will be in danger." A minister of the Yan Kingdom said loudly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the King of the North wants to take Dai County and Fan Yang County without blood, this wishful thinking is really loud enough, we must not agree. Another minister of the Yan Kingdom said loudly.

Obviously, for the three major requirements put forward by Hua'an, the most unacceptable thing for the monarchs and ministers of Yan State is the first, after all, Daijun is the western barrier of the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, and Fanyang County is the southern barrier of Jicheng, if the Dai County and Fanyang County are ceded to Hua'an, then Jicheng, as the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, will immediately lose the western and southern barriers, and become a dangerous city on the border, facing the danger of being attacked by the Xie Ai army at any time.

Murong Jun naturally understood this truth, and for this reason, he was also very reluctant in his heart, and said loudly: "Now, the southern part of Liaodong has been occupied by the soldiers and horses under Wang Wu's command, and it is not impossible to cede the southern part of Liaodong, but Daijun and Fanyang County are the barriers of my Jicheng." How can it be ceded, the king of the north is deceiving people too much, deceiving people too much. ”

When a minister heard this, he looked at the envoy sent to Luoyang City and said loudly, "The King of the North has made such an impudent request. You should have objected at the time, why did you have to run back to report, in this way, wouldn't it seem that my Great Yan Kingdom is too weak. ”

Obviously, the minister of the Yan State was very dissatisfied with this colleague who was ordered to go to Luoyang City. And loudly accused.

"Xia Guan had already objected on the spot, and indicated to the king of the north that my Great Yan Kingdom would not accept such conditions, but the king of the north was very resolute and insisted on these three conditions, and said that there was no possibility of retreating. The lower officials had no choice but to return to Jicheng and report to the king. The Yan State official, who was ordered to go to Luoyang City, said loudly.

When Murong Jun and his courtiers heard this, they were immediately very angry, and whispered to each other, expressing their unacceptability to Hua'an's request.

Murong Jun was naturally the most angry, but at this time, Hua An had already expressed his attitude. Moreover, the soldiers and horses of the Xie Ai Legion have been staying on the south bank of Yishui. And it put a lot of pressure on the main army of the Great Yan Kingdom, which made him very conflicted in his heart, he was naturally unwilling to accept the conditions proposed by Hua'an, but at this time, facing such a huge pressure, he had to think carefully, after all. In case the main army in front is defeated, the land that the Great Yan Kingdom will lose. It may not only be Daijun and Fanyang City, but the entire Youzhou is very likely to be captured by Xie Ai's legion. And once this happens, the consequences are obviously even more severe.

Seeing Murong Jun's frowning, a minister immediately guessed Murong Jun's thoughts, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now, the treasury of my Great Yan Kingdom has been empty, and if we continue to confront the soldiers and horses under the command of the Northern King, our Great Yan Kingdom is in danger of losing the country, so it is better to agree to the request of the Northern King for the time being, thinking that my Great Yan Kingdom will win a chance to breathe." ”

"How can this work? If we cede Daijun and Fanyang County, the capital of our Great Yan Kingdom will be exposed under the noses of the enemy, so that our Great Yan Kingdom will be controlled everywhere, and Jicheng will have to garrison heavy troops to guard against possible attacks by the enemy, so I must not agree. A minister hurriedly objected.

"Your Majesty, the trick of the North King is to boil frogs in warm water, if we cede Dai County and Fan Yang County, the strength and prestige of my Great Yan Kingdom will be further reduced, and the strength of the North King will be improved, and if it continues to be encroached on step by step, all the land of my Great Yan Kingdom will eventually be annexed by the North King." Another minister of the Yan State objected loudly.

Obviously, the courtiers under Murong Jun can still be able to perceive Hua'an's intentions, of course, Murong Jun also understands this truth, however, at this time, the strength of the Great Yan Kingdom has weakened, and in the face of the huge pressure of the Xie Ai Army, if it insists on not retreating, it will not be long before the national strength of the Great Yan Kingdom will be exhausted, so that the Xie Ai Army can take this opportunity to break through the Yishui defense line in one fell swoop, and drive straight into it to capture the entire Youzhou, and the Wang Wu Army in Liaodong will also immediately send troops to respond and occupy the five counties of Pingzhou, In this way, the two states of Youyou and Ping, which the Great Yan Kingdom had worked hard to manage for many years, will all be lost, and once such a situation occurs, the Great Yan Kingdom will be completely collapsed, and there will be no possibility of re-rising.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king thinks that everything is still based on enduring humiliation and burden, and now, my Dayan Kingdom is no longer able to compete with Beiwang Xiang, so it is better to agree to his request!" Murong Jun looked at the courtiers under his command and said helplessly.

Obviously, in order to make up his mind, Murong Jun also thought it through.

At this time, the anger in the hearts of the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom has also disappeared a lot, and seeing that Murong Jun has made up his mind, they no longer object, after all, they all know very well in their hearts that with the current state of the Great Yan Kingdom, it is not okay not to agree to Hua'an's request, after all, there is no better way than to swallow the obedience.

Seeing that the courtiers under his command no longer objected, Murong Jun looked at the courtier sent to Luoyang City and said loudly: "You immediately go to Luoyang City and tell the king of the north that this king has fully agreed to his request. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The courtier clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and left the main hall, and ran in the direction of Luoyang City as fast as he could.

Subsequently, in the main hall of the Yan Palace, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, and his courtiers began to discuss how to separate the relationship between Hua'an and the Great Jin court, so as to shift Hua'an's attention to the direction of Jiankang City.

####

In the direction of Luoyang City, Hua'an has received news from the direction of Jiankang City, and has a certain understanding of the large number of rumors that suddenly appeared in Jiankang City, and immediately summoned his henchmen to prepare to analyze the situation.

In the main hall, Hua An looked at several henchmen under his command, and said: "Generals, recently in the direction of the capital, there have suddenly been a large number of rumors that are unfavorable to this king, although there is no conclusive evidence, but this king feels that this is most likely the ghost of King Yan, at this time, except for King Yan, no one will hate this king so much." ”

"What the king said is extremely true, these rumors are indeed very likely to be done by King Yan, but the sword that the king wears is indeed a royal thing, could it be that some of these rumors are true, the identity of the king, maybe it is really the royal family, maybe it's not true!" Wang San said softly.

"Yes! The king, the last general felt that many of these rumors seemed to be true, perhaps half rumors and half true! Zhuge Xiong said loudly.

Obviously, Wang San and Zhuge Xiong both discovered the credible elements in the rumors and had great doubts about Hua An's identity.

Hua An smiled and said: "These are all some things that catch the wind and catch the shadow, there are many people in the world who look alike, and the king's sword may have been picked up by the ancestor by accident, as for some other things, they are also chasing the wind and shadows, and there is no full evidence!" ”

Obviously, without full evidence, Hua'an can't make a conclusion at will, after all, the crime of impersonating the royal family is not small.

When Wang San and Zhuge Xiong heard this, they both nodded approvingly, after all, they also understood that pretending to be the royal family was a big crime, and these so-called evidence was not very sufficient, and it could not prove Hua'an's identity very favorably.

"Report, Wang, the latest rumors have recently come back from the direction of the capital, and they are still aimed at the king." At this moment, a subordinate general walked into the main hall and reported to Hua'an.

When Hua An heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What rumors, tell me quickly." ”

The general hugged his fists and said: "Qiqi Wang, it is rumored in the direction of the capital that Wang Shang is a descendant of the King of Chu, and it is also said that the ancestral jade pendant worn by the king on his waist is the jade pendant of the king of Chu back then." ”

"Sima Wei, King of Chu, Jade Pei." Hua An said in surprise, and immediately took off the jade pendant on his waist and put it in his hand to watch it carefully.

"Your Majesty, this jade pendant is engraved with the word 'Wei', it seems to be really the jade pendant of the King of Chu!" Wang San stood beside Hua An, and immediately saw the words on the jade pendant, and said it loudly.

Hua An fixed his eyes at it, this exquisite jade pendant, there is really a Wei character engraved on it, after wearing it for so many days, Hua An is the first time to look at this jade pendant so seriously, at that time, when Murong Yan gave it to him, he said that he bought it in a jade shop, Hua An just felt that the workmanship was very good, so he kept wearing it on his body, but he didn't look at the jade pendant carefully, and now after reading it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Your Majesty, this jade pendant seems to be really the jade pendant of the King of Chu, could it be that the rumors circulating in the capital have been true recently, in this way, wouldn't the king's background become a noble royal family." Zhuge Xiong said in surprise.

Hua An naturally knew that this jade pendant was given by Murong Yan, and the so-called ancestral jade pendant of the king of Chu was simply a rumor, but in front of Wang San and Zhuge Xiong, Hua An was not good at telling the truth directly, so he had to pace in the hall in silence, and think about the intention of Murong Jun, the king of Yan, to spread such rumors.
