In the big tent of the Chinese army outside Huaixian County, Hua'an is studying the current situation in Hebei and thinking about his next course of action.

At present, the Great Yan State is still a nominal vassal state of the Great Jin, while the Wei State is another state at the same level as the Great Jin, and Hua'an must carefully consider how to rescue Yecheng so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to himself and the Great Jin court.

After thinking about it again, Hua An felt that Wei must completely surrender to the Great Jin, so that he could justifiably send troops to reinforce Yecheng, otherwise, it would be inappropriate to reinforce Yecheng without conditions, and it would also be suspicious and suspicious by the imperial court.

Through the secret investigation of the scouts and the congs, Hua An learned a lot about the situation inside Yecheng, and knew that in the palace of Yecheng, there was an extremely important jade seal, which was the treasure of the world and a symbol of imperial power.

"Big brother, we're back." At this moment, Wang San and Zhuge Xiong led the army back in triumph.

Seeing Wang San and Zhuge Xiong walking into the Chinese army's tent with a spring breeze on their faces, Hua An'an was also overjoyed, he knew that the Houba Army must have been annihilated, otherwise, these two would not be excited like this.

"Why are you so happy, is Hou Ba dead?" Hua An asked happily.

Wang San and Zhuge Xiong glanced at each other, hugged their fists and said: "Yes, big brother, Hou Ba and the more than 100 men and horses under his command have been completely annihilated by our army, and Hou Ba himself was shot into a hedgehog by our army." The soldiers all felt particularly relieved. ”

"General, Hou Ba has done a lot of evil, and he has finally been wiped out by our army, and now our army can rest assured and boldly march to Yecheng." Zhuge Xiong said loudly.

Hua An thought for a moment and said softly: "Yes! Hou Ba and the Longteng dead soldiers under his command were finally annihilated, and now the main force of our army will have no worries about reinforcing Yecheng, but at the moment, Wei is not an ally of my Great Jin, but Yan is a subject of my Great Jin. Rushed to reinforce Yecheng. It seems that there is something inappropriate, we must wait until the Wei State returns to our Great Jin, and the main force of our army can reinforce Yecheng and help the Wei army in Yecheng. Defend against the Yan army's attack. ”

"Newspaper. Checkmate. The envoys of Wei came to ask for an audience. At this moment, the Wei envoy finally arrived outside the Chinese army tent in Hua'an.

In fact, the Wei envoy should have arrived earlier. After accepting the order, he immediately went to Yewang City, but after arriving at Yewang City, he found that Hua'an had personally led the main force to arrive outside Huaixian County, so he went to Huaixian County non-stop, so it was a little late.

Hua An, Wang San, and Zhuge Xiong glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, it seems that the ministers of Wei have figured it out and are ready to surrender to my Great Jin, haha!" He laughed.

"Big brother, it seems that it is not possible for our army not to reinforce Yecheng." Wang San quipped.

"General, let him come in quickly!" Zhuge Xiong felt that he couldn't let the envoy of Wei wait too long, so he hurriedly reminded.

Hua An nodded and said loudly, "Let him in." ”

Soon, the envoy of Wei entered the big tent of the Chinese army and knelt down and said, "The lower official greets General Hua." ”

"Please, what's the matter, tell me!" Hua An asked bluntly.

The envoy of Wei hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "General Hua, why don't you tell a story to the general first!" ”

"Story, the messenger came all the way to see the general, just to tell the story to the general, okay, you tell it!" Hua An agreed softly.

The envoy of Wei opened his mouth to tell a story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and this old-fashioned story, Hua An had already heard it countless times, and naturally understood the purpose of the envoy of Wei to tell this story.

"Stop, the truth of the cold lips and teeth will be understood, and the envoy will not need to say it again." Hua An stretched out his hand to interrupt the Wei envoy.

"If you have anything to say, you just say no, why do you go around such a big bend?" Zhuge Xiong reprimanded in a low voice.

When the envoy of Wei heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Since General Hua understands, then the lower official will say it directly, at present, the hundreds of thousands of main forces of Yan State are approaching step by step, and my Great Wei State is in danger, but the monarchs and ministers of Yan State all have wolf ambitions, if my Great Wei is destroyed, I am afraid that the army of Yan State will not stop in Hebei, but continue to go south, and when the time comes, the Great Jin will not be in danger." ”

Hua An smiled when he heard this, and said loudly: "I don't know if the monarch and minister of Yan have the ambition of going south to Jianghuai, but at present, it is an indisputable fact that Yan State is subordinate to my Great Jin, but the monarch of your Wei State has already claimed the emperor in Yecheng and has the ambition to sweep the world, I don't know if this general is wrong?" ”

When the envoy of Wei heard this, he was suddenly a little speechless, what Hua An said was naturally all true, Yan State was indeed still subordinate to the Great Jin Dynasty, but the monarch of Wei State Ran Min had already been called emperor, and on the day Ran Min ascended the throne, he had the ambition to first set the Central Plains and then sweep the world.

"What General Hua said is, however, at the moment, my Great Wei State is in danger, and I still have no ability to protect myself, as for sweeping the world, it is just an empty word, why should the general care? And Yan is different, although Murong Jun, the king of Yan, is subordinate to the Great Jin, but Yan has three and a half million troops, and only this time he has mobilized 200,000 elites to the south, and Yan has formed an alliance with Daiguo, and the strength of the Yan Dynasty coalition is even stronger, how can King Yan be willing to be subservient to others if he has such a strong strength? The envoy of Wei said softly.

"Haha! The envoy is really sharp! Every word he said is very reasonable, but as a general of the Great Jin Dynasty, he must always consider the wishes of the imperial court, and the Great Wei State must have enough sincerity to let the general reinforce Yecheng! After Hua An finished speaking, he looked at the envoy of Wei.

The envoy of Wei smiled slightly, escaped from his arms with a letter of state, held it up with both hands and handed it to Hua An, and said with a straight face: "General Hua, my ministers of the Great Wei State have discussed and decided to submit a letter to the Great Jin court, and this is the letter of surrender." ”

Hua An stretched out his hand to take the letter of descent of the Wei State, and after opening it, he glanced at it casually, shook his head, and said softly: "The book of descent is just a piece of paper, is this the sincerity of the Great Wei State?" ”

The envoy of the Wei State was slightly startled, and said softly: "General Nahua thinks, how can we reflect the sincerity of my Great Wei State?" ”

Hua An pretended to think about it, paused, and said softly: "I heard that the Great Wei State has the jade seal of the country, if it is a vassal to my Great Jin court, this jade seal of the country will naturally be handed over to the Great Jin, so as to show sincerity, and in addition to this jade seal, a prince is also needed to go to Jiankang City as a hostage, in addition, Hanoi County is quite far away from Yecheng, and it is not easy for our army to supply, if we can get a few counties in Ji County, then it only takes one day for our army to reinforce Yecheng, which is very convenient, I don't know what the envoy thinks?" ”

When the envoy of Wei heard this, he was shocked, he didn't expect that Hua An actually put forward three demands in one go, and he really didn't know how to answer these three requests.

"General Hua, are these three conditions too much, the lower officials don't have the right to decide without authorization!" The envoy of Wei said helplessly.

Hua An's face turned cold, and he said: "It's just three conditions, if the Great Wei State doesn't agree, then there is no sincerity to submit to the Great Jin Dynasty, and there is no need to talk about it." After saying that, he turned around and walked a few steps.

The envoy of Wei hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "General Hua, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth from Yecheng to here, and the army of Yan is not far from Yecheng, it is better for the general to send troops to reinforce Yecheng first. ”

Hua An shook his head, and said: "Yecheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Yan army is in the city, in a short time, it will not be able to break through the city, however, in order to show the sincerity of this general, this will first send 10,000 elites to reinforce Yecheng, and the main army will garrison Wude City, and only after getting the sincerity of your country can you send troops to Yecheng, how?" ”

The envoy of Wei thought for a long time and felt that it could only be like this, so he hugged his fists and said: "Since General Hua has decided to do so, then it has to be like this." After saying that, he looked helpless.

Hua An looked at Zhuge Xiong and said loudly: "Zhuge Xiong, you immediately lead a 10,000 Wudang Fei army under your command, follow the envoy to Yecheng to garrison, remember, don't embarrass my Great Jin army." ”

"The general can rest assured, the last general will be fortunate not to disgrace his life." Zhuge Xiong accepted the order loudly.

Hua An nodded and said softly, "Wang San, help me send the envoy of Wei." ”

"Your Excellency, please." Wang San stretched out his hand and waved it, signaling that the envoy of Wei could leave.

The envoy of Wei clenched his fists slightly, and said softly: "The general stays, and the official has left." After speaking, he walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang San only sent a few steps and stopped, while Zhuge Xiong left the big tent and went to the camp to gather his soldiers and horses to prepare to reinforce Yecheng.

"Big brother, why do you want to make these three requests, I'm afraid that these demands will make Wei Guo embarrassed!" After the envoy of Wei walked away, Wang San asked in a low voice.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "Big brother does this, naturally there are reasons why he must do this, first of all, our army rashly reinforces Yecheng, if the ministers of the court know, they will definitely not agree, and we ask for the jade seal, and dedicate it to the court, we can block these mouths, let Wei leave a prince as a hostage, one is to make the Great Jin court believe in the sincerity of Wei, and the other is to protect Ran Min's bloodline, after all, Ran Min is also a generation of heroes, and objectively did a lot of things that are beneficial to my Great Jin Northern Expedition, and now, The political situation in Hebei is unstable, it is very unsafe for Ran Min's sons to stay in Yecheng, and it is much safer for them to go to Jiankang City as hostages, as for asking for Ji County, in addition to facilitating logistics and supply, it can also allow the army to reinforce Yecheng more quickly, and at the same time, the army stationed in Ji County is also a sharp blade hanging over the head of Wei State.
