Chapter 339: Asking for Money
Dawn of time.
The defenders at the head of the northern city of Zheng Guo looked at the withered yellow grassland from afar, where heaven and earth met, and a team of black men and horses were getting closer and closer.
"Turks!" The guards put their hands on the pergola and looked into the distance, and saw clearly that those who were wearing animal skins and capes and were hurrying towards were the Turks. And there are still a lot of people, from east to west, overwhelming.
"Didn't the Turks go to Korea? How could you be here! ”
"Hurry up and report it!"
"Our Zheng Guobing is weak and low, but we are not the opponent of the Turks!"
"Close the gates and report urgently!"
......
Sima Yu dripped blood on the spot, and the blood was fused with the blood of the other six princes, and Sima Yu immediately stabilized.
Next, it was naturally Sima Hao, the king of Han, who led the troops to fight.
Sima Hao led an army of 200,000 and just left.
Sima Yu received an urgent military report from Zheng Guo.
The Turks are coming, and 100,000 are in a hurry, asking for support.
"Then King Zheng will send another 200,000 troops to support!" Sima Yu said casually, "No matter which way they fight, they only have 100,000 horses." I have given you twice as many troops! This battle can be won. ”
Sima Hao led the troops away, and he had no reason to resist the order.
As soon as Sima Ang, the king of Zheng, wanted to step forward to receive the order, he saw Sima Han, the son of Sima Chu, step forward first.
After the death of Sima Chu, the eldest son Sima Han attacked the position of the great general.
"Your Majesty! The little Turks want us to divide 400,000 horses, what if the country is in turmoil? The soldiers and horses of the Qi State are on the other side of the Yongjin River! There is still Korea and Zhengguo and the Gudao River between the Turks and Yingtian, and they can't attack Yingtian! I thought 100,000 horses were enough! At present, our biggest internal worries are the five countries such as Qi, and the Turks are just external troubles. ”
"The Turks are fierce!" Sima Ang couldn't help but answer, "We are not opponents at all in one-on-one fights." ”
"It depends on how you fight!" Sima Han roared, "King Zheng has not read the book of war. Is there one as ten, and less as more? Besides, 100,000 to 100,000, I didn't let you less! No matter how bad it is, aren't there still the people of Zheng Guo? When it is necessary, everyone can defend their home and country. ”
"Going to war is a soldier's business, where can people go to war too? Does the general mean to let Zheng Guo's old and weak women and children go to death? So for the people of Zheng State, where is the national prestige of Great Wei? Aren't the people of Zheng Guo the people of Great Wei? Can you be a gunman? ”
"General Ben just said that it was a last resort, if King Zheng could use 100,000 horses well, he naturally didn't need the people to resist the enemy."
"Even if it is 200,000 horses. There are still 600,000 horses in Yingtian! Sima Ang said angrily, "The Qi State is only 500,000 horses, and the general is afraid?" Afraid that people will win more with less? ”
"600,000 Qi country!" Sima Han said angrily, "There are also Chu States, Lu States, Liang States, and Wu States, these are not counted yet!" If they swarmed up, do you think 600,000 horses are enough? ”
Sima Ang sneered: "600,000 horses are not enough, is 700,000 horses enough!" If the five countries are united, what is the use of more people! Does the general still think that one person will defeat the soldiers and horses of the Five Kingdoms? If the general is so good, then the Turkic only 100,000 people, the general alone will not be enough! His Majesty said that Zheng Guo had 200,000 troops. The general has to stop it, what is his intention? ”
Sima Ang and Sima Han argued.
Sima Yu sat on it and frowned.
Being an emperor is not as simple as sitting on the dragon seat.
At this time, he was also very difficult.
Just when Sima Yu didn't know who to help, he only heard an urgent report outside.
"Letter from the Turks! Letter from the Turks! The messenger sealed the message with fire paint in his hand and galloped all the way into the temple.
The eunuch stepped forward to take the battle report and handed it to Sima Yu.
When the messenger ran in, both Sima Ang and Sima Han stopped.
The hall was silent.
King Han has just led his troops to set off, and he hasn't even come out yet, has Korea been breached?
Sima Yu endured his anxiety and unfolded the battle report, and after reading it, his face sank and he handed the letter to the eunuch: "Read! ”
The eunuch cleared his throat and read aloud: "The Turks and the Great Wei are neighbors, and the Emperor of the Great Wei went to congratulate the Turkic prince on his wedding, and he never wanted to be murdered by traitors and tortured. This time, the Turks sent troops to seek justice for the little prince! It is hoped that the Emperor of Great Wei will give the Turks an account of the torture suffered by the little prince. Otherwise, the Turks will desperately attack Yingtian and seek justice for the little prince. The little prince was injured and hoped that the Great Wei Emperor would have more mercy. The weak Turkic state also hoped that the Great Wei would receive more compensation, and hereby hoped that the Great Wei would be exempted from the Turkic tribute, and at the same time pay the Turkic 100,000 taels of gold, 100,000 pieces of cloth, and 100,000 quintals of rice and grain every year. ”
"Money and food?"
"If you give it, you don't have to fight?"
"100,000 taels of gold, although it is a lot, but it is still more cost-effective than the death of a war!"
"The Turks were frightened in the end, and before they could fight, they began to ask for things!"
"It's every year!"
"Their offerings are gone, and we give them instead?"
"Why! Where is the prestige of our Great Wei? ”
"I can't give it! If you open this head, they will open their mouths in the future. ”
"It's a bereavement! They are still my vassals of Great Wei! I want to bow down to Dawei! It's a bereavement pension! ”
"The Turks are immature wolves! I gave them money and food today, and they will come to rob them when they are strong in the future! ”
......
The entire court suddenly turned into a noisy and bargaining vegetable market.
Sima Yu pressed his head, took a deep breath and roared, "Shut up!" ”
The Son of Heaven was furious, and the courtiers suddenly stopped talking.
Sima Yu let out a long breath and said to Wen Chengguo, who was standing at the front: "Wen Chengguogong, now you have the highest prestige in the Manchu Dynasty!" I want to hear your old thoughts! ”
Duke Wen Chengguo stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty! The Turkic Nagong cannot be abolished! Otherwise how to show that they are our vassals! As for the bereavement pension can be given! But the Turkic tribute in the coming year could not be less than the bereavement materiel! ”
"Huh?" Sima Yu squinted at Wen Cheng Guogong, "What Guogong means is that we give them a pension, and they give us tribute, and no one suffers, right?" ”
"Your Majesty!" Duke Wen Chengguo took another step forward and said, "If General Sima and General Sima Chu are here, our Great Wei will definitely not agree." But now the two ministers of the humerus are no longer able to lead the troops. The soldiers and horses of the Qi State are ready to move again. Sima Han's worries are also the worries of the old ministers. The alliance of the five countries such as Qi is the henchman of Great Wei! And the Turks are nothing more than minor conflicts. What can be settled with money and food, why use war! Once the war starts, Qi and the other five countries will take the opportunity to make chaos, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
"What Guogong said makes so much sense!" Sima Yu nodded, "Just according to what Guogong said, reply to the Turks!" ”
