Chapter 921 Burying the Thorns

As soon as he said such a sentence, the atmosphere in the account suddenly took a sharp turn, and no one who can be regarded as the head of a country or a representative of the head of a country is a fool, and everyone is analyzing the powerful relationship.

Originally, the lord of Xiaowan Kingdom, who took the risk of saying this, was ready to be interrogated after the words were spoken. He actually didn't want to come out at this time, but he didn't say no, who knows if he doesn't show it now, then when everyone must kill this envoy, will this person named Sima Yi take himself out? If this is the case, wouldn't he die without a place to be buried, and he didn't dare to gamble, so he expressed his opinion first.

As soon as Tang Jin spoke, Ma Chao, who had been waiting for the opportunity, immediately said: "The two countries are not at war, and it is also unreasonable to kill this Sima Yi, at least I don't agree." ”

Ma Chao jumped out at this time, but also to pave the way for what he might do next, he first said he disagreed, if there are still people who want to embarrass Sima Yi, so that he can do it in a bright way, at that time, others will only think that he is to save face, and will not think that he is the same person as the Celestial Empire.

Suddenly, the two of them expressed their positions at the same time, and for a while, the atmosphere in the tent took a sharp turn, and even some people showed thoughtful expressions, and under this expression, was it cowardice? It is not known whether he is hesitating.

Seeing that the war-filled alliance began to shake without fighting, while Wang Can, the lord of Great Xia, secretly scolded a group of stupid pigs in his heart, he also looked at Sima Yi and said: "Mr. Sima, what you said is very kind, I think everyone still needs to think about it, so let's go to the tent to rest first, and when we discuss a result, we will definitely give you an answer, okay?" ”

Wang Can didn't say what he wanted to do with Sima Yi, because he wasn't sure if the next Western Regions Alliance had made up his mind to start a war with the Celestial Empire. If they don't fight, then he insists on asking to kill Sima Yi, won't he offend everyone to death? He wouldn't do something risky and unbeneficial.

Wang Can seemed to be very kind to ask Sima Yi to rest, but he did not move immediately, but still said with a very arrogant look: "There is no need to rest, this messenger came to warn everyone, do what you should think twice about, don't fall into the tricks of some people, and if you launch an attack on the Celestial Empire this time, then you must be mentally prepared to be counterattacked. Alright, that's all the talking, farewell! ”

With both fists hugged, Sima Yi didn't give anyone else a chance to speak at all, so he turned around and walked out of the tent. And there really was no one to stop it.

Even Yuen Long, the lord of Wusun Kingdom, only pointed to the back of Sima Yi who was leaving, but did not say anything. He really wanted to keep this person and kill him to avenge the killing of his prime minister, but he also knew that if he did this, he would really be immortal with the Celestial Empire. It would be better if everyone had to be enemies of the Celestial Empire, but if the alliance was dispersed, it would be unknown whether the Wusun Kingdom would be able to exist in the near future.

Sima Yi left the big tent generously like this, but no one knew that his back was completely soaked at the moment when he left, and no one would know what kind of thrilling scene he had just experienced.

Fortunately, he has completed the task, although he can't stop the pace of the coalition attack, but at least he has bought some time, which is enough to be regarded as a great credit.

Sima Yi left, and the lords and representatives of the Western Regions who remained in the big tent were indeed caught in a brief quarrel.

Originally, everyone thought that by taking advantage of the gap between the main forces of the Celestial Empire fighting in the north, the Celestial Empire legions in the Cheshi Kingdom would be driven out of the Western Regions, so as to regain peace, but after Sima Yi made such a fuss today, the question came out, that is, even if these three legions of the Celestial Empire came, would the Western Regions really be at peace? Will the Emperor of the Celestial Empire retreat for today's defeat? If they attract the wrath of the Celestial Empire, will they be able to withstand it?

In the final analysis, everything depends on strength.

The strength of the Celestial Empire is the embodiment of its strength, otherwise it would not have aroused everyone's suspicion because of these words.

The other side of the quarrel is the big and the small. At this moment, the great powers naturally still want to repel the Celestial Empire and regain control of the Western Regions; Small countries are indeed worried about whether they will be retaliated against after fighting the Celestial Empire, and once they lose the behemoth of the Celestial Empire, whether other big powers will attack them next.

Each has its own mind, this is the disadvantage of the alliance, after all, everyone has their own considerations, and it is very difficult to really do it in one place.

Not to mention that there is such an internal existence as Tang Jin, he definitely does not want to fight with the Celestial Empire, so he is the happiest against the war, and in addition to the black cavalry envoy Ma Chao also suddenly came to say, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and the opposition voice is higher for a while.

"Okay, let's do this today, let's go back and think about it, and then discuss it together tomorrow." Seeing that there was chaos in the big tent, Wang Can also knew that others would not be able to listen to what he said now, even if this is the case, it is better to let it go first, anyway, the army of the Celestial Empire is still caught in the northern battlefield, even if they want to return to help, it is not a matter of day and night, even if it is so, they still have time.

The appearance of Sima Yi did play a certain role, at least the original tense war situation became much alleviated, and when he returned to Jiaohe City, the capital of Cheshi State, the crown prince Zhang Tian actually greeted him at the gate of the city in person, which also caused him to be flattered.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this can't be helped." The moment he saw Zhang Tian's smile at the city gate, Sima Yi was sincerely frightened and hurriedly fell to the ground.

"Hehe, you are a great hero, and it is your honor to greet you." Zhang Tian was indeed very happy at this moment, originally he thought that this time Sima Yi went to talk, it was more than lucky, but he didn't think that people would come back safely, and the Western Regions Alliance did not launch the offensive it should have, which greatly relieved the pressure on Che Shiguo, and most importantly, it also bought enough time for the arrival of reinforcements from the Celestial Empire.

Zhang Tian admired Sima Yi's actions very much, and even entered the city with him hand in arm. In the eyes of others, this practice is also a burst of envy and jealousy.

It's just that as soon as the two of them entered the palace, Zhang Tian's face instantly became much deeper, not because he changed his face too quickly, but because of Sima Yi's words, which made him feel a little unsure in his heart.

"Are you saying that this battle is still going to be fought, and this peace talks just bought us a few days?" This is the question asked by Zhang Tian.

"Yes." Sima Yi replied respectfully, "The current situation is that our Celestial Empire is too powerful, which cannot but attract the fear of others. What the minister said was just to confuse them for a while, but nothing has changed fundamentally. ”

Sima Yi put it bluntly, he just went to scare them and did not make any promises, for example, the Celestial Empire would not send troops to the Western Regions after solving the northern affairs, in fact, he would not say such a promise, even if he did, no one would believe it. That's why he answered.

Listening to this answer, Zhang Tian nodded lightly and said, "Even if that's the case, you still have to be prepared for it, right?" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise." Sima Yi said helplessly. It was not easy for his envoy to exchange a few days of peace. Unless the war in the north ends now and the Celestial Empire army returns, it may still have a certain deterrent effect, but he knows that this is impossible. If you want to solve the Rus country and the northern countries, how can you say that you can do it, it is fast to be able to finish in half a year and a year, and it is normal to be slow and even hold it for three or five years, seven or eight years.

"Well, anyway, this time it has also been held for a certain amount of time, and it has also planted a thorn in the hearts of the lords of the Western Regions, and the overall situation is in our favor. Even if it is the next war, those small countries in the Western Regions have to think twice, then our goal will be achieved. Zhang Tian is also an atmospheric person, not sticking to small sections, and facing reality calmly, which is the essence of his father Zhang Chao.

Let's not mention that Zhang Tian in the Cheshi Kingdom is ready for a defensive war, let's just say that the Western Regions Alliance, after Sima Yi appeared, did cause a wave for a while, which also gave several big country lords who advocated war a headache.

In the royal tent of Wang Can, the lord of Great Xia, he was discussing with Yuen Long, the lord of Wusun, and Pei Du, the lord of Dawan.

Originally, the big war was imminent, and thousands of troops and horses would be killed with just one order. But who would have thought that Sima Yi's sudden arrival would cause a huge disagreement within them, so that the Fifth Route Army, which was originally preparing to attack, had to stop first.

Before the war began, the morale of the army was shaken, which caused the three of them to be very dissatisfied. After there was no one else in the tent, Yuen Long, the lord of Wusun, said bluntly: "I think it is possible to kill chickens and monkeys, just because Tang Jin is happy and kill him first, so where do other people dare to oppose us?" ”

"No." Yuen Long's words were just an outlet, which immediately attracted the denial of Wang Can and Pei Du.

Yuen Long hates Tang Jin, and there is affection. After all, after a few times, the two of them have quarreled, so they are destined to not go together, so it is no wonder that they have hatred in their hearts. It's just that those who do big things can't do things righteously, it's not difficult to kill Tang Jin, and he doesn't have the ability to struggle, but if he does such a thing at this moment, it will inevitably make people feel cold, and it will put everyone in other small countries in the Western Regions in danger, if so, it will be difficult to deal with the army of the Celestial Empire in a rope, so the gains outweigh the losses.
