Chapter 274 Another land cessation

What did Xiangyin mean at that time? It even had the power to cede land.

When King Huan heard this, he couldn't help but glare at the minister, secretly blaming him for talking too much.

Seeing this, the latter quickly bowed: "Yes, it's the humble minister who talks too much."

With that said, he also returned to the train.

The reason why King Huan asked this question was because Qin's march to the east was somewhat worrying to him, because the four kingdoms had attacked Qin, and he was afraid of being resented by Xiao Yuan.

Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to resolve potential conflicts.

Liu Yuzhi naturally agreed to this, and after the two had another conversation in the palace, King Huan also asked for the document.

The silk scroll was unfolded on the king's case. King Huan picked up the brush and began to write. When the book was completed, he first confirmed it, then picked up the royal seal, stamped it on the silk book, and then handed it to the attendant on the side and said: "Submit it to me.

Prime Minister Qin took a look at it."

"Yes." The attendant responded, bent down and took it respectfully, then walked down and handed it to Liu Yuzhi.

The latter was unfolded and read carefully. The silk book simply said that Qin and Huan countries should put aside their old grudges, rebuild friendship, exchange trade, and other matters.

After Liu Yuzhi read it, he also spread the silk book on the ground, then took out his Qin Guoxiang seal and stamped it on it.

Once this seal is sealed, it means that Qin has agreed to these agreements. During the period of the document, the two countries cannot fight again.

At that time, when countries were competing for hegemony, once you made an agreement, if you broke your trust with others, it would be equivalent to breaking your trust with the world. In the future, which country would dare to make an alliance with you? Therefore, no king would dare to break an alliance easily.

Seeing that the matter was done, King Huan couldn't help but be overjoyed. After having the documents collected, he stood up and said, "Okay! Now, on behalf of the King of Qin, the Prime Minister of Qin has renewed friendship with Huan. I am very pleased. Now, it's not too early."

Come on, I have ordered a banquet to be held in the palace, and I have invited Prime Minister Qin to join us for a drink and a merry-go-round."

"Your Highness is too polite." Liu Yuzhi quickly saluted.

"Haha! Please come to the Prime Minister of Qin." King Huan said and walked into the palace: "All my dear friends, please come with me to the banquet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty—" people said in unison.

It is understandable that Huan Guo adopted the plan that was most beneficial to him.

At the same time, Qinzhou.

At this time, the envoys sent by the Jin State had already entered the Qin State's court.

Xiao Yuan met him at the Chaoyi Hall. After the latter saluted, he also stated his intention straight to the point.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Listen to the envoy's words, do you want Qin to withdraw its troops?"

"Yes." said the Jin envoy.

"This is interesting. The war is related to the safety of the country. Just because the messenger has red lips and white teeth, he can make Qin withdraw its troops with just one mouthful. Even if you represent the King of Jin, who do you really think you are?

." Xiao Yuan said, his tone slightly unkind.

Hearing this, the Jin envoy quickly shook his hand: "No, no, no, Your Highness, King Qin, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean that."

"Then what's the reason?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

The Jin envoy said: "To show our sincerity, if Your Highness agrees to withdraw, our country is willing to make all post-war compensation and pay Qin a huge amount of gold, silver, jade and brocade."

"It sounds very tempting." Xiao Yuan said and shook his head: "Qin is poor, but these things cannot quell the anger of our Qin army officers."

Knowing what he meant, the Jin envoy became a little anxious: "But Your Highness the King of Qin, the matter of Bai Ze is a complete misunderstanding. The assassin was definitely not sent by our king, but someone with ulterior motives, intending to frame and provoke Qin and Jin

War between two countries."

"What about the Four Kingdoms' attack on Qin?" Xiao Yuan seemed unwilling to tangle with him on the Bai Ze issue, and said directly: "These are all the plans of the King of Jin, right? I would like to ask, sir, did Qin and Jin have any enmity before? Jin

Why did the king attack me? He also joined the four kingdoms to destroy Qin. How can we, the Qin State, not avenge this hatred! How can we, the officers and men of the Qin Army, not keep it in our hearts!"

"This, this..." The Jin envoy was confused and didn't know how to explain it. After thinking for a long time, he said: "This is actually a mistake in my king's decision-making. I am here to apologize for this."

"Excuse me? I would like to ask you, if Qin unites the four kingdoms and attacks Jin together, and after fighting, tells you that the attack was a mistake, will the King of Jin give up? It was you, the Kingdom of Jin, who started the war, and it was definitely not my intention."

"But Your Highness..."

"Okay." Xiao Yuan interrupted him: "If the envoy has nothing else to say, please leave first."

"Then how can His Highness the King of Qin be willing to retreat?" The Jin envoy was anxious.

Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said: "If you want me to withdraw my troops, let the Jin State cede the land of the two counties. Only in this way can we settle the past feud."

"This! How is this possible!" The Jin envoy was so anxious that his tone changed: "His Majesty, the King of Qin, is asking too much!"

"That being the case, please do me your favor. This king is going to discuss politics." Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand directly and issued an order to expel the guests.

"His Royal Highness King Qin..."

Xiao Yuan stopped talking.

When the Jin envoy saw this, he had no choice but to salute and said: "In this case, I should retreat first. I just ask Your Highness to think twice. If the Qin and Jin wars continue until the end, both sides will undoubtedly suffer..."

Xiao Yuan still didn't speak, but he lowered his head and unfolded a bamboo slip at random and started reading.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Yuan's strength was something that the Jin envoy did not expect. He had no choice but to bow and retreat.

After he left, some of the Qin ministers in the palace naturally stood up and began to say: "Your Majesty, now that our army has captured Yiyang, if there is another huge amount of gold and silver, it will be a good thing."

Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slips and glanced at the minister: "Do you mean to suggest that I accept the peace negotiation between Jin State?"

"Well, with this batch of gold and silver, our country can continue to develop, and we have a lot of initiative in terms of the amount." The minister said.

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Gold and silver are just small profits in front of you, so what's the point? If our Qin country doesn't take this opportunity to defeat the Jin country in one breath, then the king of Jin will definitely plan to attack Qin again."

"I can also tell all the ministers here that Qin's determination to attack Jin will never change!"

"Yes, I know." The minister quickly bowed and returned to the line.

Xiao Yuan's attitude is clear. Not to mention that Yiyang has been conquered and the door of Jin has been opened. Even if it is not conquered, he will not be able to collect the gold and silver and cease the war.

The next day, the Jin envoy failed to achieve his goal and was unable to return for business, so he naturally began to ask to see Xiao Yuan again.

But this time, he still said the same thing, which made Xiao Yuan quite unhappy. Later, he no longer wanted to see him again.

On this day, Shaofu Jiang Yi came to ask for an audience, because it was he who was responsible for receiving the Jin envoys.

In the study room of the palace, Jiang Yi said: "Your Majesty, the Jin envoy asked for an audience today, but your Majesty refused, fearing that the truth will be revealed."

"Yili, I have already received him, but he keeps saying the same thing again and again. Is there any need to see him again?" Xiao Yuan didn't even raise his head.

"But the king..."

Jiang Yi wanted to say something else, but Xiao Yuan suddenly dropped the bamboo slip a little heavier and looked up at him.
