Chapter 956: Murong Jun couldn't hold on

Murong Jun felt that the dismissal of officials in the court and the central government might lead to turmoil in the government and the opposition, but if the army was abolished, it would directly lead the main force of the enemy army into the territory of Yan State, thus causing the Great Yan State to suffer the danger of national destruction, for this reason, the reduction of the army was more dangerous than the removal of officials.

"Your Majesty, more than eighty percent of my Dayan's national strength has been consumed by the army on the front line, and only by reducing the soldiers and horses in front can we fundamentally solve the problem of the emptiness of the treasury. A minister, again said loudly.

"Your Majesty, with the current situation of my Dayan Kingdom, grain and grass are already extremely scarce, and there is not much grain and grass in the people's homes, if you want to solve the food shortage, you must buy from the enemy army in order to tide over the difficulties, and this must be reconciled with the enemy army, in addition, there is no better way." Another general of the Yan Kingdom said loudly.

Obviously, the ministers of Yan State have clearly realized that the large consumption of Yan State's national strength is completely caused by the large consumption of soldiers and horses on the front line, and this is the result of hostility with Hua'an, so if you want to solve the crisis of Great Yan State, you must reconcile with Hua'an, which is the only good policy.

Hearing this, Murong Jun frowned deeply, in fact, he had long realized that if he wanted to restore the national strength of the Great Yan Kingdom, he must do his best to reconcile with the soldiers and horses under the command of Hua An, so as to fundamentally solve the huge crisis faced by the Great Yan Kingdom, but this southern expedition was initiated by the Great Yan Kingdom on its own initiative, and now, if you want to reach a reconciliation with Hua An, you must admit your mistakes and give in to Hua An, and this is something that a good-faced king is unwilling to do, for this reason, Murong Jun is entangled in his heart.

"Report, Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the front." Just when Murong Jun was entangled in his heart, Murong Ke sent a letter from his subordinates. Arrived at the royal palace.

Seeing the urgent report from the front, Murong Jun did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered the attendants beside him to take the letter.

Murong Jun took the letter in his hand, and quickly opened it and read it, suddenly. He frowned deeply, and it was clear that the contents of the letter made him very anxious.

"Your Majesty, what's going on ahead?" A courtier, seeing Murong Jun's frowning, hurriedly asked in a low voice.

Murong Jun sighed and said, "The army at the front is short of food, and the auxiliary generals have reduced the rations of each soldier by thirty percent, but unexpectedly it has caused turmoil in the army. The auxiliary general had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and cut off the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the army, and now, these 50,000 soldiers and horses are already on their way back to their hometown. With that, he handed the letter in his hand into the hands of a courtier.

Obviously, Murong Jun was very shocked by this incident, and it can be clearly seen from this incident that there is a shortage of food in the army. It has led to the tendency of unrest in the army, and. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the consequences will be even more severe, and Murong Ke also strongly demanded reconciliation with the enemy army in order to completely solve the situation of long-term consumption of national strength.

Murong Jun still recognizes Murong Ke's construction. And believes that this is the only best way to solve the current predicament, however, he also knows very well in his heart that this time the Yan army is coming. Attacking the south for no reason will definitely make Hua'an very annoyed, and now Hua'an's soldiers and horses occupy many advantages on the battlefield, so he must give great sincerity in order to reach a reconciliation with Hua'an.

All the courtiers gathered together and read the letter carefully, they naturally recognized Murong Ke very much, and thought that with Murong Ke's support, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, would definitely carefully consider reconciling with Hua'an.

"Your Majesty, the general of the auxiliary country is far-sighted, if you follow the suggestions of the general of the auxiliary country, my Great Yan Kingdom will definitely be able to get rid of the current crisis." A courtier, said Masase.

"Yes! Your Majesty, now that the treasury of my Dayan Kingdom is so empty, only by making peace with the Northern King can we fundamentally solve the current crisis! Another minister, said loudly.

The ministers obviously hoped that Murong Jun could make up his mind earlier and negotiate with Hua An, after all, this was the only effective solution to the current crisis of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Murong Jun frowned very helplessly, looked at the courtiers under his command, and said: "It's not that this king doesn't want to negotiate peace with the king of the north, it's really because this campaign was provoked by the king, and moreover, when the soldiers and horses under the command of the king of the north fought with the soldiers and horses under the command of Yao Xiang, this will definitely make the king of the north very annoyed, at this time, our army is already at a disadvantage, if the king proposes to make peace at this time, will the king of the north really agree?" ”

Obviously, Murong Jun felt that Hua'an would not lightly agree to negotiate peace with them, unless they gave Hua'an enough benefits, and now, the treasury of Yan State was empty, and there was nothing good at all, which could be given to Hua'an.

When the courtiers heard this, they naturally understood what Murong Jun said, but they felt that no matter what the result was, they had to give it a try, and only by giving it a try could they know what Hua'an's request was.

"Your Majesty, my Dayan Kingdom and the King of the North are already in-laws, and Wechen feels that the King of the North will not be so unkind, as long as the King sincerely seeks peace, I believe that the King of the North will not refuse." A minister, said loudly.

"Yes! The king, Weichen also felt that the king of the north was not the kind of person who was not close to people, and the king could give it a try. Another minister chimed in.

When Murong Jun heard this, he frowned and thought about it, he naturally understood that what his courtiers said was very reasonable, but he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to make peace with Hua'an, he must sincerely admit his mistakes, and only by sincerely admitting his mistakes could he get Hua'an's understanding, after all, it was he who suddenly ordered the attack to the south, and he was at fault first, and he had to admit his mistake first.

As a king with strong self-esteem, Murong Jun is naturally very unaccustomed to bowing his head to others and admitting his mistakes, but at this time, the shape of the Yan Kingdom is already in jeopardy, if he continues to care about the king's face and is unwilling to admit his mistakes to Hua'an, the Great Yan Kingdom is very likely to suffer a collapse, so he has to bow his head to Hua'an and admit his mistakes.

Murong Jun looked up at his courtiers, and said: "This king thinks that what you Aiqing said is very right, according to the current form, my Great Yan Kingdom must negotiate peace with the enemy army, and this king will carefully consider how to negotiate peace with the Northern King." ”

"The king is sage, the king is sage." Seeing that Murong Jun finally agreed to negotiate peace, all the courtiers of Yan Kingdom were very happy and complimented loudly.

Murong Jun nodded, and then let most of the courtiers leave the main hall, and only left a small number of henchmen to discuss with these henchmen how to negotiate peace with Hua'an alone.

After most of the courtiers left the main hall, Murong Jun looked at several confidants and courtiers, and said with a straight face: "Several Aiqing are the ministers of this king's humerus, right now, this king plans to negotiate peace with the king of the north, you Aiqing must have more ideas and share worries for this king!" ”

"The king can rest assured, as courtiers, we should do our best to share the king's worries and solve problems." A confidant who loudly expresses his loyalty.

The rest of the confidants also nodded, saying that they would go all out to assist Murong Jun and solve the matter of peace with Hua'an.

Murong Jun nodded with satisfaction, looked at several confidant ministers, and said with a straight face: "Ladies and gentlemen, this king was rude first, and now he wants to negotiate peace with the king of the north, how should he speak?" Shouldn't you give the North King a big gift? After speaking, he frowned.

"The king, the current king of the north, has extremely strong strength, but he is afraid of ordinary gifts, it is difficult to get into his eyes! You have to have a special gift to be able to touch their hearts! A courtier said loudly.

"Yes! The king, gold and silver agate, jade and jade and other ordinary ordinary products, can not move the heart of the king of the north at all, there must be something better. Another minister, said loudly.

Murong Jun naturally understood this truth, but he couldn't predict what kind of gift would satisfy Hua An.

"This king has already given his own sister and many women in the clan to the king of the north before, and now, this king really doesn't know what to give to the king of the north! Since gold, silver, agate, and jadeite are not good, what should I give? Murong Jun looked at his courtiers and asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, for an ambitious king like the King of the North, the best gift is nothing more than power and conquest, as long as this wish of the King of the North is satisfied, Weichen believes that the King of the North will be willing to negotiate peace with my Dayan Kingdom." A confidant minister, Masashi said.

Hearing this, Murong Jun nodded lightly, and said with a straight face: "The idea of power and conquest is an idea that every ambitious king has, but how can this kind of thing be given as a gift?" After speaking, he looked at his henchmen in surprise.

"Your Majesty, my Great Yan Kingdom used to be a minister to the Great Jin Dynasty, and now there has been no contact for several years, at this time, why not the King directly call the North King a minister, and hype up the possible life experience of the North King, in this way, not only the North King will be very happy, but also make the Great Jin Court very nervous, if it can stimulate the contradiction between the North King and the Great Jin Dynasty, my Great Yan Kingdom can take the opportunity to watch the fire from the other side, isn't this a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone?" Confidant courtier, Masashi said.

When Murong Jun heard this, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and nodded very approvingly, obviously, he had realized that this was a very good plan, which could not only satisfy Hua'an's vanity, but also make the Great Jin court very nervous, after all, the current Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is not the descendant of Sima Yan, the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, but only the descendant of the concubine born to Sima Yi's side room, and Hua'an currently has a large number of troops and territory, once Hua'an's identity suddenly becomes a royal family, his prestige will inevitably be further enhanced, and even, It is very likely that he will replace the current position of the Great Jin Emperor, thus completely disintegrating the current Great Jin Dynasty, which will naturally cause great fear among the Great Jin Dynasty and its vested interest groups, thus further triggering contradictions.
