Chapter 353: Coercion to borrow food
Originally, Zhu Tongjing came to coerce Han Jian, but now it suddenly became Han Jian to coerce Zhu Tongjing.
The deterioration of the situation in Jiangbei is the result that the Qi Dynasty wants to see the most, and only when the internal fighting of the Jiangbei Wei Dynasty is inextricable, the Qi Dynasty will reap the benefits. Zhu Tongjing always went back and forth between Jiangdu and Jinling, and it was also a diplomatic means to intensify the internal contradictions of the Wei Dynasty, so that Yang Yu of Luoyang thought that the Qi Dynasty had always recognized the court of Jiangdu.
But now Han Jian said that as long as he wants, this war can be stopped at any time. The north can immediately return to the previous situation, the four kings and Luoyang are separated, and because the power of the local four kings has grown, in fact, the central role of the Luoyang court has been weakened, which is not a good thing for the Southern Qi.
"What the king of the east said is to threaten him?" Zhu Tongjing said in a deep voice.
"What if it's a threat?" Han Jian said, "Today I will leave this sentence here, if within a month, Jiangdu will not get the support of grain and grass from the Qi Dynasty, then Jiangdu will go to Luoyang to express surrender, and this war can be solved without a fight." Now that my majesty is not in Jiangdu, it has saved me a lot of trouble. ”
Zhu Tongjing shouted: "Luoyang's thieves, will accept you as the king of the east?" ”
"Acceptance or non-acceptance is not something that can be decided by some small festivals in the past. Now that the justifiable prince of the Wei Dynasty is still being detained by you, if Master Zhu has any suspicions about the Luoyang puppet court, then just go back and wait to see it. ”
Zhu Tongjing was very annoyed in his heart, but he had nothing to do.
Now it is clear that Han Jian is here to threaten him and sue him. If you do not borrow food, I will surrender. What will you do with Nanqi after surrendering?
If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the premise is to take advantage of it first, otherwise this scene will only end in a boring way, and Nanqi will not be able to get any cheapness.
"Master Zhu, what else do you have to say?" Han Jian said.
Zhu Tongjing sighed, he naturally didn't want to compromise so quickly, he felt that he should have a way to resolve it.
In the end, Zhu Tongjing shook his head slightly and said, "I have to go back first, and then go back to Dongwang after discussion." ”
"Then please." Han Jian said with an unceremonious attitude.
Zhu Tongjing's face was gloomy and uncertain. Finally, he left the side hall with a face full of anger.
There is no need for Han Jian to accompany him. He also recognized the way in, and went straight out, as if he had gone and never returned.
Han Jian looked at this back and knew that Zhu Tongjing had also made a mistake this time.
Han Jian expected. It is impossible for the Southern Qi to be unaware of the changes in the shape of the north today. The purpose of Zhu Tongjing's visit this time. said that he was here to persuade him to surrender, but more to intensify the contradiction between Jiangdu and Luoyang. In other words, Nanqi was also afraid that Jiangdu would suddenly surrender to Luoyang. At that time, Nanqi was a bamboo basket and a water empty, and nothing good could be fished.
It's just that neither the people of Southern Qi nor Zhu Tongjing would think that Han Jian would use this kind of thing to blackmail Southern Qi, and would let Zhu Tongjing know the news that the empress of the Wei Dynasty is not in Jiangdu now.
When this news spreads, the north may immediately be in chaos, but it is more likely that it will tend to be stable.
The departure of the empress of the Wei Dynasty represented the struggle for her power to lay down, which eliminated the most unstable factors in the north, and Yang Yu's accession to the throne can also be regarded as the "Zen throne" of the empress, and the Wei Dynasty will regain stability.

……
Han Jian returned to the Dongwang Mansion, Han Song and Han Cui were anxiously waiting for him to come back, and when they saw Han Jian, they both stepped forward.
"Jian'er, did you bring someone surnamed Zhu to see His Majesty?" As soon as he came up, Han Cuishi stepped forward in a hurry, as if he was questioning Han Jian.
"Erniang and Sanniang know it?" Han Jian said with an indifferent expression.
"How could we not know about such a big thing?" Han Cuishi said angrily, "Didn't you say that you were going to have a banquet for Qi people in the mansion, why did you go to His Majesty's dormitory?" ”
Han Jian sat down, glanced up, and said, "Erniang, Sanniang, can you listen to me and complain about me again?" ”
Han Song's family could also calm down at this time, not as anxious as Han Cui's family. Han Cuishi wanted to say something, but was pulled by Han Song, and Han Cuishi said impatiently: "You say." ”
"Erniang, Sanniang, what do we lack most in Jiangdu now?"
Han Song and Han Cui were both stunned, what did Jiang Du lack? There are still a lot of things that are missing, and the most lacking ...... I can't remember what the key is.
"In your eyes, what is most lacking should be an emperor." Han Jian replied for the two.
Han Songshi asked, "Jian'er, what do you mean by this?" ”
Han Jian said: "In my opinion, what Jiangdu lacks most now is materials, and the emperor is the most lacking. Now we want to have soldiers, we want weapons and weapons, but food is in short supply again and again, as long as we get all the food, we can fight for a long time, Luoyang's thieves want to take our Jiangdu, that is a fool's dream. ”
Han Song thought for a moment and said, "The truth is such a truth, but what does this have to do with you taking Qi people to see His Majesty?" ”
Han Jian analyzed the shape of Jiangbei and Jiangnan now, including the chaos in Jiangbei today, as well as the mentality of the people of Southern Qi.
In Han Jian's view, the people of Nanqi actually didn't want to use force, and Xie Rumo had already intended to go to war, but this violated Nanqi's attitude that he should watch the fire from the other side. In this Southern Qi envoy, there were also Xie Rumo's people, indicating that Xie Rumo's attitude was also changing, and in the face of the civil strife in the Wei Dynasty, the Southern Qi people seemed to want to eliminate their prejudices and prepare to concentrate on the outside world.
Han Jian took Zhu Tongjing to see the empress, and told the empress that Zhu Tongjing was not there, that is, to sue the Southern Qi people, if the Southern Qi people did not spend some price, then the situation they hoped to see would not appear. Either the Qi Dynasty immediately sent troops, or they waited for the internal peace of the Wei Dynasty to achieve nothing.
After listening to Han Jian's analysis, Han Song and Han Cui were no longer as anxious as before.
"Jian'er, when you say that, it seems to ...... Makes sense. Han Cuishi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It seems that Sanniang is wrong to blame you." Second sister, what do you think? ”
Han Songshi shook his head slightly and said, "I'm just afraid that if Jian'er does this, he will force Qi people to send troops, and then we Jiang will be attacked on our backs." If the Qi people really refuse to borrow grain, do we really want to go to Luoyang and surrender to the thieves? ”
"Erniang, don't worry, I just said that, in order to exchange for food, as for taking refuge in thieves, I can't do this kind of thing, no matter how hard the days are, we can also persevere, and in the end, the big deal is that the fish dies and the net is broken." Han Jian said.
"Hmm." Han Songshi smiled and nodded.
Han Cuishi praised: "It's still an athlete with ambition." ”
Han Jian said again: "I believe that the Qi people will not send troops without authorization. If they could send troops, they wouldn't have to wait until now, when the civil strife in our Wei Dynasty began, they would have sent troops a long time ago. Now just by bringing a little grain over, it can make our Wei Dynasty have endless internal strife, and it is not a loss-making deal for them. No matter how cunning Zhu Tongjing is, he can also analyze the pros and cons. (To be continued......)
