Chapter 43 The envoys of the states, the alliance seeks peace
After that, Bei Minghao sent people to meet the representatives of the seventeen states, and soon the group arrived at the palace.
Among this group of people, there are old and young, military generals, and strategists, all of whom are considered to be great people in various states, and one by one is either arrogant, or ignorant, or surprised, and one or two seem to be very restrained.
Everyone stood below, looking at Bei Minghao, who was sitting on the top of the main hall, explaining the symbolic salute, and offering the gifts prepared by the kings, and then they took their places, and Bei Minghao began to feast these envoys.
A graceful vocal music accompanied by the fluttering dance of more than a dozen beauties gradually passed in the harmony and joy of everyone...
After the banquet, all the envoys were sitting in danger, as if they were going to 'make trouble', and the old god Jia Xu was there, he should eat and drink, and he didn't seem to be worried about the trouble caused by these envoys.
Suddenly, at this time, a man in a blue and white brocade robe stepped forward, this person looked clear and beautiful, vigorous, there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, he was about twenty-one or twelve years old, and there was a scholarly aura around his body.
"King Yanhuang, under the command of the king of Qin, the eldest grandson of the prime minister, Wuji, the king of Qin sent me this time, first, to wish the king the king, and to want to attack and defend the alliance with the Huangzhou theorem, and ask the king for permission, so that Wuji can go back and explain."
"Oh, eldest grandson Wuji? The King of Qin sent you here to form an offensive and defensive alliance? Why? Qinzhou is a little more than Huangzhou, even if there is a war on one side, the other side is beyond the reach of the whip, far water can't save the near fire, it seems completely unnecessary, does the King of Qin think that his Qinzhou forces can be adjacent to my Huangzhou in the future? ”
When Bei Minghao heard this, his brows raised slightly, and a trace of waves appeared in his heart, could it be that Li Shimin already knew that he would become the biggest obstacle to his Qinzhou development in the future?
"The king laughed, the people of Qinzhou are young and sick, how can they become a big force across several major states, the king thinks too highly of me Qinzhou."
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was shocked in his heart, but there was no abnormal change on his face, and he retorted lightly, as if he had expected it, it seemed that he was still so light-hearted, and his words were still so humble or arrogant.
"Mr. is serious, Qin Wang Wen has such a high talent, Wu has a peerless god of war like Li Yuanba, and he is not everywhere he goes, looking at the flag and descending, adjacent to my Huangzhou, it seems to be a matter of time, I feel that King Qin is far-sighted!"
Bei Minghao was a little embarrassed in his heart, to be honest, he didn't want to make an alliance with King Qin, because it would not benefit him at all, so he hoped that the other states would be more vigilant against King Qin and buy him time.
"How does the king know that I am Qinzhou Li Yuanbahu?" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he couldn't calm down anymore, Li Yuanba is Li Shimin's important trump card, and he has not yet been born, where did Bei Minghao know about it, could it be... Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly fell into an ice cellar, shivering all over, and cold sweat suddenly flowed down his forehead.
"Hmph, the lonely King of Qin, doesn't the King of Qin know about the Lonely? It seems that there is no need to hide it, as for the matter of the alliance, Hugh will mention it again, if there is anything else to do with sir, you might as well come together. ”
Bei Minghao snorted coldly, showing no mercy, the eldest grandson Wuji treated him like a fool, this matter is tolerable, which is unbearable.
"The king..."The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to say something, but before he could finish speaking, Jia Xu stood up at the right time and interrupted his words.
"Mr. Changsun, I think that Mr. should be in moderation, my king thinks that the alliance is completely unnecessary, and it has been said clearly, clearly, and the alliance will only become a shackle, Mr. doesn't know, or does it deceive me Huangzhou no one cares?"
"It's... It's Mowgli who is reckless, please forgive the king and Mr. Jia! ”
Seeing that Jia Xu was cold and aggressive, but Guanbei Minghao was sitting high in the hall, as if he was pretending to sleep, and he had already made up his mind not to pay attention to him, the eldest grandson Wuji was helpless, so he had to apologize to Shi Li, and then retreated.
And with the failure of the negotiation between the eldest grandson Wuji and Bei Minghao, the envoys in the palace exchanged heads and talked about it, and the discussion was nothing more than the alliance between the two states, and whether it was true that Qinzhou had a god of war.
And at this moment, the spearhead was finally guided to the direction of Qinzhou, and Huangzhou was no longer the only target of public criticism, which was also what Bei Minghao was willing to see.
At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji was quite indignant, but he couldn't help Bei Minghao, so he could only sit on the side and sulk.
"The king, Wu Yun, the envoy sent by the king of Xiaqianzhou, came to congratulate the king on his crown, and secondly, on behalf of my king, to apologize for the previous misunderstanding, hoping that Huangzhou and Qianzhou can rebuild the old friendship and avoid the war, isn't it happy?"
Just when everyone was talking about Qinzhou, a person stepped forward and began to tell the north of the cold to discuss things.
"Hmph, I don't know how your Wang clan apologized, in order to win Zhenguan, our army has worked hard and suffered heavy losses, could it be that you can say it with just one apology, then I, the lord of Tangtang and Huangzhou, will not be laughed at by the world?"
When Bei Minghao heard this, he came to apologize, sneered secretly in his heart, scolded coldly, and pretended to be a posture of not paying a price and not wanting to make peace.
"This..."Wu Yun saw that Bei Minghao was unyielding, and suddenly didn't know what to do, in the script he wrote in advance, there didn't seem to be such a drama!
Huangzhou is now surrounded by strong enemies on three sides, and if he is not careful, he will be in danger of annihilation, originally he thought that as long as he gave Bei Minghao a step down, Bei Minghao would be happy to accept it, but he didn't expect it to backfire, which was quite a headache at first sight.
And he was in high spirits before he set off, and promised to reconcile with Huangzhou, so he was in a dilemma, which made Wu Yun anxious.
Gritting his teeth in his heart, he planned to compromise, to see how big Bei Minghao's appetite is, if it is acceptable, he can make the decision, and go back and talk to the king of Qianzhou about it, if the lion of Bei Minghao opens his mouth, then simply go back, anyway, the two states have already had a bad relationship.
"King, what price do you think my Qianzhou should pay to appease your anger?" Wu Yun suppressed the anger in his heart and said lightly.
"Five thousand taels of gold, five hundred horses, you don't have to bargain with Lone, Lone knows the financial resources of Qianzhou, and knows that this is just a drop in the bucket for the King of Qianzhou, if you can't be the master, go back and discuss with the King of Qianzhou, if he doesn't agree, just wait for the soldiers to meet, my Huangzhou men are all brave and good at fighting, not afraid of any strong enemy!"
Bei Minghao said in an unobmissive tone, and his eyes swept over all the envoys present as he spoke, as if the evil beast had seen the prey, so that everyone present did not dare to look directly into Bei Minghao's eyes.
Seeing that Bei Minghao didn't seem to give him room to speak, Wu Yun also shut up and began to think.
Five thousand taels of gold is nothing for Qianzhou, but it is not a drop in the bucket in Bei Minghao's mouth, five thousand taels of gold is a year's tax in Qianzhou, this is not the most painful, the most painful is still horses, five hundred war horses? In Dongzhou, where war horses are scarce, it is quite precious, and the king of Qianzhou has been in business for many years, and he has gathered more than 10,000 war horses, which makes him feel cold in his heart, and he is impressed by this lion's big mouth Bei Minghao.
"What? Just 500 war horses are very precious for Qianzhou, isn't it? Bei Minghao squinted at Wu Yun and looked at Wu Yun with a look of contempt, which made Wu Yun's face red, and when he saw that Bei Minghao couldn't afford to knock him in Qianzhou, he was filled with righteous indignation for a while, and his blood and qi shouted loudly.
"The king Hugh wants to knock me Qianzhou can't afford it, only five hundred war horses, Qianzhou still doesn't take it to heart, and asks the king to wait for half a month, after half a month, Wu will visit the king again with horse gold."
"Okay, happy, in this case, as long as the horse gold arrives, Lone will rebuild the old friendship with the king of Qianzhou, and never mention the previous unhappiness!"
Bei Minghao saw that he had obtained five thousand taels of gold for no reason, and his heart was also happy, and he accepted this windfall with peace of mind.
Later, with the end of the feast, all the envoys also left one after another, some completed the king's task, and some did not finish, some joys and sorrows, the taste of which is indescribable.
And Bei Minghao laughed heartily, feeling quite happy about the good things of the eldest grandson Wuji eating deflated and the Qianzhou fool Wang stupidly giving gifts.
After that, he began to marry Zhaojun, completely to take the matter of offending Qianzhou and Qinzhou to heart.
And several other states have already launched a conspiracy against Huangzhou, and these Bei Minghao are still unaware.
