Chapter 680: The Hope of the King of Pingxi

Wang Yun resigned last year and returned to the party. Therefore, the imperial court could no longer send envoys who made the Jin Kingdom look at it pleasantly. However, for the sake of Luoyang's safety, it has to be sent when it should be sent, even if this time it is clear that it is going to eat other people's lower corners.

After urgent deliberation, the imperial court appointed Guanglu Doctor and Situ Huangwan as envoys to sue for peace, and made them fully responsible for going to Shangdang to negotiate with the Jin State, striving to quell the troubles around Luoyang as soon as possible, rescue Huangfu Song and the forbidden Imperial Forest Army, and work together to drive out the Hu people who were making trouble in Chang'an.

Huang Wan's character is Yan, and he is a native of Jiangxia Anlu. When he was a teenager, he was famous for his sharp words and good debate, and later became an official and rose to the position of a general in the five senses, because he was framed by the powerful people of the DPRK and China on the grounds of gathering friends and forming a party, and was imprisoned for nearly 20 years. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion arose, Emperor Ling issued a decree to grant amnesty to the people of the world, and he was fortunate to be released. In order to win over the scholars, the general He Jin recommended him to enter the court again as an official, worship him as a speaker, and move to the middle of the service.

Because Huang Wan himself is indeed talented, coupled with his reputation, he was later worshiped by the imperial court as a master craftsman, a young man, and a Situ. After Wang Yun resigned and left, the various factions of the imperial court fought for the vacant position of the three dukes, and finally cheapened Huang Wan, who had not entered various small circles, and worshiped him as the new Situ.

Huang Wan was famous for his tongue argument when he was young, and now he is a world-famous elder, and he is on par with his predecessor Situ Wang Yun in terms of prestige. The imperial court sent Huang Wan to envoy to the Jin Kingdom, which was also painstaking, and even Huang Wan himself could not open his mouth to refuse. Who let the people who always dealt with the Jin Kingdom in the past, Lord Situ Wang Yun, so that the common people of the Jin Kingdom recognized this official position?

Huang Wan, who was burdened with heavy responsibilities, came to Mengjin, the crossing of the Yellow River, with a lot of heart, and was about to board the boat to go north, when he suddenly received an urgent report from Luoyang. Huang Wan opened it and looked at it, and suddenly became even more depressed, standing on the bank of the Yellow River and looking up to the sky and sighing.

It turned out that the message said that Zhang Fei's troops, who had attacked the city all the way on the battlefield in Jizhou, were trapped in Taocheng and surrounded by 50,000 troops from outside the city, and now they have become caged birds, waiting for the imperial court to come to the rescue.

Even Zhang Fei was surrounded by people, and now the court has even exhausted the only remaining bargaining chips that can bargain with the Jin Kingdom, leaving only Huang Wan's old face to die and grind, do you think he can not be depressed?

Fortunately, on the way from Hanoi County to Keiguan after crossing the Yellow River, Huang Wan was not intercepted by the troublesome Crouching Tiger cavalry, and along the way, Zhao Gang secretly opened the way for Huang Wan in front, shouting and scaring away many passing merchants and pedestrians on the road, so that the team going north to sue for peace was extremely brisk because the road was empty.

The Jin side seems to be waiting for the imperial court to send someone to negotiate, and it turned out to be the minister of state Wang Yun who sent to receive Huang Wan.

The old and new Situ gathered together, and at first they did not blow their beards and stare at them, but drank the new tea before the rain in a friendly manner, chatting about the harvest of summer grain and what they saw and heard along the way, and it seemed to be happy and peaceful.

Wang Yun is not in a hurry, he is really not in a hurry. Anyway, now that the situation on all battlefields has been reversed, the Jin State has entered the stage of a strategic counteroffensive, and even the 50,000 Hu people who broke into the pass are pretending, so what else does he have to worry about.

Huang Wan is not in a hurry, that is pretending not to be in a hurry. If we can't quickly reach an armistice agreement with the Jin State and properly handle the Chang'an crisis this time, we will move the capital at least and fall at worst, and in the future, the century-old brand of the Han Dynasty will have to close down.

When he was drinking tea and urinating urgently, Huang Wan finally couldn't hold it back, and he asked Wang Yun straight to the point: "Senior Brother Zi, in the past, the court treated you at a loss, which made you resign from the official position, but it was cheap for me, you won't have any opinions on me, right?"

Wang Yun heard what Huang Wan was going to say next, so he replied with a smile: "How can that be! Brother Ziyan's talent and morality are well known, even if I am still in the court, you will have a chance to take over the position of Zhang Wen or Lu Zhi!"

Huang Wan was buttoned up by Wang Yun's big hat, and he suddenly didn't know where to start, so he simply turned his heart sideways and came to a quick knife to cut through the mess. He said: "When I came to Jin Kingdom this time, the last person I wanted to meet was Senior Brother Zi, because when I negotiated with you, I knew that I would not even be able to get a little cheap." Therefore, let's not go around the round, what are the conditions for a truce between the Jin State and the imperial court?"

Wang Yun was not angry, and still said with a smile: "Since Brother Ziyan is so refreshing, then I won't embarrass you." In fact, the conditions for a truce between the Jin State and the imperial court were not set in stone, and could be adjusted accordingly according to the benefits provided by the imperial court. For example, if it was only for the Crouching Tiger Army that had broken into Hedong to withdraw to the Jin Kingdom, then the imperial court would need to declare that all the charges against Zhao Taifu were entirely due to being framed by villains, and now they will be clarified. ”

When Wang Yun said this, there was obviously something to say below, but he kept silent, waiting for Huang Wan's reaction.

Huang Wan also understood, so he had to take over and say: "If the imperial court wants the Jin State to release General Huangfu Song and more than 30,000 soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, what are the conditions offered by the Jin State?"

Wang Yun watched Huang Wan say this, so he nodded and replied: "Announce to the world that the Sima family is a thief, and the fifth prince Liu Khotan was captured by them back then, and the first emperor was also secretly murdered by them!"

Huang Wan's heart was shocked, and he said with some hesitation: "This, this condition seems to be difficult for some strong people. After all, the Sima family has always respected the Han royal family and has never done anything extraordinary. ”

Wang Yun sneered a few times and asked Huang Wan: "You and I are both understanding people, if the Sima family has no dissent, then why did they secretly kidnap the five princes in the first place?"

Huang Wan said in his heart: "The crow said that the pig is black! Didn't Zhao Xing also kidnap the third prince at the beginning!" But he couldn't say that, he thought about it, and felt that when it was like this, it was impossible for the imperial court to secretly protect the reputation of the Sima family. Not only has "Jin Bao" now targeted Yizhou, and openly and secretly shook out all the at the beginning, the Sima family really stole chickens and rice this time, and it was difficult to clear themselves.

So Huang Wan replied: "This matter allows me to return to Luoyang, and I want to come to the end and the court will agree." If you want the Jin Kingdom to release Zhang Fei and 30,000 soldiers of the Southern Army who were besieged in the city, what are the conditions?"

Wang Yun seemed to have expected Huang Wan to ask this, so he said: "If the imperial court does not agree to the second condition, there will be no next third condition." But I can't help but show you the minimum bottom line of the military and people of the Jin Kingdom, as long as the imperial court agrees to this condition, everything else is okay to talk about!"

Only then did Huang Wan understand that Wang Yun still hid the bottom line of the Jin Kingdom at the beginning, so he had no choice but to say: "Please also ask Senior Brother Zi to speak clearly." ”

Wang Yun said calmly: "For no reason, the imperial court put the big hat on my son-in-law's head that must have plotted to kill the emperor, kidnap the prince, support the army and respect himself, and intend to rebel, have you ever thought about today's ending? Now that Guochang is trapped in Fanbang, and the news is unknown now, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and nearly 10 million ordinary people of the Jin State have jointly signed a letter, asking the imperial court to seal Guochang as the 'King of Pingxi', to wash away the stigma imposed by the previous imperial court, and at the same time, in the future, Yongzhen Fanbang, to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, and no longer be harmed by the disasters of the Hu people!"

"What? King Pingxi!" Huang Wan stood up in surprise. The third prince and the fourth prince have been crowned kings one after another, but it is reasonable, after all, they are also dragon sons and dragon grandsons, and now the people of the Jin Kingdom have asked the court to divide Zhao Xing, a person with a different surname, as the king of Pingxi, such conditions are really too terrifying.

Wang Yun didn't seem to see Huang Wan's surprise, and said leisurely: "Now that the Western Regions are out of the control of the Han Dynasty, is it so difficult to seal a piece of territory in name only to Guochang?"

Without waiting for Huang Wan, who was still in a daze, to speak, Wang Yun said again: "Once Guochang is named the king of Pingxi, then the Jin Kingdom will cheer and rejoice, not only will Huangfu Song and more than 30,000 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army be released, but also the 40,000 Dingyuan army besieging them will go south without hesitation to solve this bold Hu people for the imperial court, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake?"
