"Your Majesty, there is a person outside who holds the envoy of Heaven and asks to see Your Majesty!" Liu Bei's subordinate, Liu Feng, who is also the son of Yizi, came in and reported.

"Messenger of Heaven?" When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly said, "Please!" ”

Su Qin tidied up his clothes and met Liu Bei.

When the two met, Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked, "Who is here, report your name!" ”

Su Qin replied: "Foreign Minister Su Qin, the Great Honglu of the Heavenly Kingdom, Prime Minister Zuo, meet His Majesty Shu Han!" ”

Su Qin?

Liu Bei's face changed when he heard this, and he got up and asked, "Pavilion ...... Uh, Qing is Su Zi, Mr. Su Qinsu? ”

"Exactly!" Su Qin raised his head in response.

"Quick, please take a seat!" When Liu Bei heard Su Qin's name, his face became kind, and he hurriedly shouted, "Come and give me a seat!" ”

Su Qin sat down.

Liu Bei asked, "Su Zi came from afar, I don't know what I can teach me?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Su Qin has heard that His Majesty treats people with benevolence and righteousness, and the people of Shu Han all regard Your Majesty as the only benevolent monarch in the world, Your Majesty loves the people like a son to such a point, where does Su Qin dare to advise?" Su Qin replied.

This high hat made Liu Bei very useful.

Yes, the Prince of Righteousness.

This is Liu Bei's positioning of himself.

He likes to hear others praise him for his benevolence and righteousness, and for being a virtuous monarch.

But Liu Bei frowned and said: "But I have lived in Xichuan for a long time, and I have worked hard to make the country prosperous, just to go east, but your country suddenly started in Nanyang, isn't this blocking my way?" ”

"Then it depends on whether Your Majesty plans to go east all the way or go north!" Su Qin responded with a smile.

"Oh?" Liu Bei's mind moved, his eyes rolled, and then he replied quietly: "I don't know what Su Zi means by saying such things?" ”

Su Qin laughed loudly and was silent.

At this time, a person walked in and said with a smile: "Suzi, why is you suddenly silent?" ”

"Oh, it's filial piety!" Liu Bei laughed and introduced: "Su Zi, this is the general of the military division who sits down, the law is filial piety, and the law is correct!" ”

Fa Zheng is also a strategist.

And it's also a Baume & Mercier.

After Liu Bei recruited Fa Zheng, he followed his strategy to quell the Nanban Rebellion, so he relied on Fa Zheng very much.

When Su Qin saw Fa Zheng, he was also a person who could speak well, so he didn't dare to be careless, got up and saluted, and replied in his mouth: "Before, Su Qin said that the relationship between His Majesty and the Kingdom of Heaven depends on how His Majesty views the matter of eastward expansion. If Your Majesty only wants to advance eastward, then my country and your country will have to fight sooner or later! However, if your country does not want to go east for the time being, and only wants to go north to compete with the Central Plains and compete with the world, then my heavenly kingdom is a great help to your country! ”

Fa Xiao Zhifa is a smart person, and said with a smile: "I heard that your country has formed an alliance with the Great Wei and the Great Jin, and the Great Wei also ceded the right Shangyong County to your country, and Cao Cao, the son of the Great Wei, also married all his daughters to you." And Sima Yi, the monarch of the Great Jin Dynasty, also ceded Xiangyang and Xincheng to your country. However, Xiangyang is adjacent to the state of Chu...... I think Your Majesty, when you send Su Zi to our country, you are lobbying your country to ally with your country, and then concentrate on dealing with Chu State, right? ”

is worthy of Fazheng, and he saw through Su Qin's intentions at a glance.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he looked suddenly enlightened.

But in fact, Fa Zheng had already mentioned this point to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei had already known the next possible actions of the Kingdom of Heaven, and at this time he was making a show for Su Qin.

Su Qin said with a smile: "Otherwise, Your Majesty has no intention of attacking the Chu State, so what Fa Xiaozhi said is really ridiculous." Your Majesty, I know the thoughts of your monarch, and I want to go to the Central Plains to compete for hegemony and achieve great things! And this is also known to the world. It's just that now the Central Plains is in the stage of big countries annexing those small countries, and powerful countries such as the Great Qin, the Great Han, the Great Tang, the Great Ming, the Great Wei, the Great Song, the Great Jin and other forces are currently in a state of equilibrium...... It's just that if your country is on the throne, I don't know which big country is unlucky? ”

"This ......" Liu Bei and Fa Zheng glanced at each other.

Fa Zheng sneered: "Su Zi's words are nonsense, right?" Our country is still trapped in Xichuan, how can we talk about replacing these seven big countries? ”

Su Qin said: "Your country's soldiers are strong and strong, is there really no one to worry about?" When the time comes, I'm afraid that everyone in these big countries will be in danger, right? Rather than this, it is better to support my heavenly kingdom and your kingdom to confront yours together...... And His Majesty of our country is far-sighted, and he also sees the mystery of this, so he intends to designate Youshangyong County as an autonomous region, which is shared by the whole world! All the caravans of the countries in the right Shangyong County, our country does not fortify them, second, does not inspect the goods, third, does not interfere with freedom, and fourth, does not need any customs clearance documents, and even other countries other than your country can send less than 100,000 soldiers and horses to pass through this place smoothly, so that the soldiers and horses of various countries can enter the right Shangyong County to exterminate the Liukou! Dare to ask the two, if this is the case, can those big powers use Youshangyong County as their backyard? And when the time comes, if your country wants to capture Youshangyong County, it will become the back garden of your country that wants to capture the seven major countries...... Will these seven big countries agree? ”

"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Suzi, why is this so, why is it like this!" ”

Fa Zheng sneered: "In this way, my country really can't go east, and I don't dare to invade Youshangyong County, and go to the wrath of the world!" But what do you get? ”

"Peace!" Su Qin smiled faintly.

In just two words, the Fa Zheng's difficulties were resolved.

Peace!

Yes, what could be more beneficial than peace?

But in order to make his theory more stable and completely refute Fazheng, Su Qin added another sentence: "There is also the tariff of countless caravans of the Seven Kingdoms!" Let me ask, if our country really opens up a right Shangyong county in the center of the world, will the caravans coming from the south to the north pass through the right Shangyong county of our country? Not only can it bring stability and peace to our borders, but it can also bring a lot of tariff revenue, so why not do such a good thing? ”

Hearing this, Fa Zheng sat down and fell silent.

He has nothing to say!

Truly.

According to Su Qin's point of view, the Heavenly Kingdom would really be the best way to deal with it.

And when the time comes, once Shu Han attacks Youshangyong County, it will offend the seven great powers...... No, it can be said that it violates the interests of all countries in the world, after all, even if those small countries are in a period of war, caravans still do business as usual.

If you don't run business, what do the people of that country eat and use?

Su Qin looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "And at that time, even if Your Majesty is capable of fighting the world, but attacking a county that is common to the whole world, causing many remote and small countries to be unable to trade, isn't this harming the people?" Can Your Majesty's name of benevolence and righteousness still be maintained? ”

"Suzi ......"

Liu Bei surrendered, and in the face of Su Qin, he couldn't argue at all, so he had to ask: "In that case, why did Su Zi still come to my Shu Han?" ”

"Because, Your Majesty of our country, knowing Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, yearns for it, so you are unwilling to make enemies with Your Majesty. And Su Qin also thinks that His Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous king, and there must be room for maneuver, so he came! Su Qin's answer was that some high hats were all arranged for Liu Bei.

Su Qin even said that Li Zhen longed for Liu Bei......

Actually, where did Li Zhen say such a thing?

Longing for a fart......

Not yet, I want to have a fight with Liu Bei, and get rid of the henchman Chu State first!

If Su Qin came up and said Li Zhen's thoughts, then the preconceived idea would definitely make Liu Bei think that this was the Kingdom of Heaven begging them to ally attack the State of Chu.

Who is Su Qin, how could he make such a mistake?

Therefore, at the very beginning, Su Qin said the most poisonous plan, and it was almost like a strong word to seize people, and resolved and even suppressed Fazheng's difficulties one by one.

Now, it has become that Shu Han is coming to ask for the Heavenly Alliance.

In fact...... Turning the right upper Yongjun into a common one, how can it be as good as Su Qin said?

Indeed, the benefits that Su Qin said are true.

But what about the downside?

Right Shangyong County, even the armies of other countries can enter and exit at will, and if those big countries want to attack the Kingdom of Heaven at that time, wouldn't they just need to make secret contacts, and they can point directly to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Heaven?

It's an adventure!

But Su Qin didn't care about those problems.

And he said good.

Fa Zheng has already been taken away by Su Qin, and at this time, he can't think of a reason to refute Su Qin's two benefits, and even thinks that if he forces the Kingdom of Heaven, then the Kingdom of Heaven will not even want tariffs, and directly announce that he will give the right Shangyong County to the world and distribute it to those countries.

Therefore, Fa Zheng did not bring up this point.

Liu Bei was frightened and asked Su Qin, "What do Su Zi and Your Majesty mean?" ”

Su Qin replied: "Your Majesty, I hope to ally with your country and attack the Chu State together!" When the time comes, if the state of Chu can be destroyed, the land of the state of Chu will be divided, and then ...... My country has no worries, and we will help your country to go north, confront the heroes of the world, and win the Central Plains! ”

"Alliance...... Attack? Liu Bei asked: "How to divide the land?" ”

Su Qin said: "There are a total of ten counties and two states in the Chu State, naturally two families each take five counties and one state, the counties and states in the east belong to our country, and the west belongs to your country, so that the two countries can make their own land connected." What do you think? ”

"However, my country wants to be on the right side of Yongjun!" Fa Zheng hurriedly put forward conditions.

"Right Shangyongjun?" Su Qin frowned and said: "This is not easy to do, the right Shangyong County is connected to the territory of Nanyang County in my country, how can it be ceded?" ”

"The two countries are sincere alliances, so why not?" Fa Zheng arrived: "Big deal, when the time comes, we will exchange the two counties of Chu State, how about it?" ”

"Haha......" Su Qin laughed.

Fa Zheng asked, "Why is Suzi laughing?" ”

Su Qin pointed at Fa Zheng and said, "I laugh at you Fa Xiaozhi is also a smart person, so I want to ask, do you think the two counties of Chu State can compare to the geographical value of a right and upright Yong county?" ”

"This ......" Fa Zheng didn't speak again, and was scolded back.

Liu Bei took the opportunity to ask: "In this way, the right Shangyong County cannot be ceded up?" ”

"Not really." Su Qin smiled.

Just kidding, where is there anything that can't be ceded?

The point is, your price is not in place!

As long as the price is in place, don't say that you want to be right, even Nanyang County can give it to you...... Of course, then you have to exchange the entire land of Shu Han now.

It's that real!

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng obviously heard what Su Qin meant.

The two monarchs and ministers glanced at each other, and then Liu Bei coughed and said, "Hehe, Su Zi, I have recently been infected with wind and cold, and I am feeling unwell at this time, why don't we talk about it another day?" Come and send Suzi to the post house to rest...... In addition, Haosheng entertained Suzi, he is my honored guest! ”

"Okay, Su Qin retires!" Su Qin got up and glanced at Liubai and Fa Zheng meaningfully.

When Su Qin left, Fa Zheng said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, Right Shangyong County, we must get it!" Otherwise, if we help the Kingdom of Heaven destroy the State of Chu, even if we get half of the country of Chu, it will be meaningless, and we will still be trapped at that time...... It's just that we are no longer trapped in Xichuan, but west of Jingzhou. ”

"I know!" Liu Bei nodded, and said: "However, Su Qin obviously knows the stakes involved, this person is very smart, and he easily refuses to agree!" Your name is me, what should I do? ”

Fa Zheng said: "If we can still talk, it shows that the Kingdom of Heaven really doesn't want to stop my country from going north." It's just that the kingdom of heaven needs benefits...... Your Majesty, why not give one more county to the kingdom of heaven? ”

Liu Bei groaned: "I'm afraid of this one county, and the kingdom of heaven is not satisfied!" ”

"Then we will make a covenant, after we jointly destroy the Chu State, we only need Yongchang County, Cangwu County and Jiaozhou, the southwestern border lands, and the rest of the places will be given to them!" Fa Zheng said in a deep voice: "Although we do this, we still only give up three counties, but what we want is the border land, the most barren place, I don't believe that they will not agree to the kingdom of heaven!" ”

"Let's think about it again......" Liu Bei slowly closed his eyes.

He felt a bit of a headache.

The Messenger of Heaven brought good news.

But this good news has a mixed taste.

North......

Now the entire Shu Han, not only Liu Bei, but also the following Fazheng, as well as his subordinate generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Ma Dai, Zhang Bao, Liu Feng and other generals are also stunned.

Go north!

It can be said that it has become the ideal that the people of Shu Han in this area are fighting for!

Now, this ideal has a chance to come true......

It's this opportunity, and maybe it will come at a great cost!

The main thing is that the land of Hanzhong in the north is firmly guarded by the two countries of Great Qin and Great Han, these two powerful countries, fortunately they themselves control each other, otherwise Liu Bei and his own Yizhou are in danger......

By way of Hanzhong, that is impossible.

Therefore, if Shu Han wants to get out of Sichuan and not be trapped in Xichuan, then there is only one way left to go to Shangyong County...... But the first step on this road is a bit costly.

However, if you can get the right Shangyong County, then you can immediately face the Xihongnong County of the Great Song Kingdom.

Great Song?

This is a very weak country!
