Chapter 324 Please solve the phase seal
The geographical location of the Jin Kingdom was in the center, where the Four Wars were fought.
Its territory connected Liang and Huan at the top, Qin at the left, and Wu and Chu at the bottom.
Now that such a situation has arisen, it is not surprising that King Huan, with his greedy nature, took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Now all the troops of the Jin State are fighting against the Qin and Liang Kingdoms. It can be said that King Huan did not waste much effort in taking Shangjun.
At this time, the King of Jin naturally scolded King Huan for being despicable and shameless, and greeted all eighteen generations of his ancestors.
You can always scold, get angry, and things will eventually be resolved.
In the court meeting hall, King Jin took several deep breaths to calm down, and then asked: "How is the domestic military conscription going?"
Jinlian hurriedly came out: "Back to the king, one hundred thousand new soldiers have been recruited, and they will be completed in various places."
"Yes." After hearing this, King Jin finally felt better and said: "Send these 100,000 people to Yangping Pass first. Over in Xuzhou, Du Yu has an army of 100,000 people with sufficient food, grass and weapons. It should be possible.
Temporarily stop the Qin army."
"Wei Chen understands."
These 100,000 people are said to be new recruits, but in fact they are just improvised soldiers. They have never been on the battlefield and have not received any training. To put it bluntly, they are just young and strong people who were forcibly recruited.
Even though there are a lot of people, if you really go to the battlefield and face the Liang army that has fought so many battles, the result can be imagined.
But the King of Jin has no choice now. All the regular troops have gone to the battlefield, and there is no force left in the country to mobilize.
After saying this, the Prime Minister of Jin said: "Our country is in a critical situation now. It's okay that King Huan doesn't help. He actually stole Shangjun, and there are many changes in Huan's army. If Huan joins the war again, then our country...
…”
"Stop talking!" King Jin interrupted him irritably, frowning deeply and saying, "I can't do anything about the matter in Shangjun! King Huan has done this, and he will regret it if he just sits back and watches Qin go east!"
"Then... what about Huan Guo..." Prime Minister Jin asked tentatively.
"Go there yourself!"
"But, my lord, I think that King Huan might take advantage of the situation to rob you." Jin Xiang said worriedly.
"Then let the Prime Minister deal with him according to his wishes, and it will be up to you to make the final decision." King Jin said.
"Okay, Wei Chen understands."
After receiving the order, the Prime Minister of Jin did not dare to delay, and began to travel in a hurry. After more than ten days, he finally arrived at Huandu.
According to the etiquette of the time, he was the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty and was visiting other countries. King Huan had no choice but to receive him.
The purpose of Jin Prime Minister's coming here is very clear, which is to prevent Huan Guo from using troops against Jin.
In the court meeting hall, he got straight to the point and made a tacit attitude towards the matter of going to the county.
But when King Huan heard this, he shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, the Prime Minister of Jin said anxiously: "Your Highness, Shangjun was originally the land of Jin State, but now Huan State has taken it by force. I, the King, should just pretend that this has not happened, and I should also give this land as a gift to Your Highness..."
"It is meaningless for Xiangbang to make such false statements." King Huan interrupted him and said directly: "Now in the land of China, there are kings in the world. Everyone who is bloody must have a competitive spirit. If they can strengthen the country, who will miss the opportunity?
If Xiangbang only talks about some empty things, there is no need to talk about it."
What he meant was very clear, that is, Shangjun has been taken over by Huan Guo, why are you still talking nonsense?
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister of Jin had no choice but to ask tentatively: "Then, what do you mean by Your Highness, please tell me."
"I'm afraid one Shangjun is not enough." King Huan said in a nonchalant manner.
"This, this..." Prime Minister Jin didn't know what to say. He looked like this on the face, but in his heart, he was already prepared. Naturally, he knew that King Huan was greedy, and he had already asked King Jin for instructions when he came.
After King Huan finished speaking, he immediately signaled to the people below to bring over a map and spread it out in the hall.
This map was very large, with very detailed descriptions, down to the counties. After unfolding, King Huan also stepped down from the throne.
Wearing royal robes, a royal crown on his head, and nine strings of jade beads on his forehead, he stood next to Prime Minister Jin. Then he half-crouched down and waved to Prime Minister Jin: "Come, Prime Minister."
Seeing the map, the expression on Jin Xiang's face was not to mention how complicated it was. He had no choice but to kneel on the ground next to King Huan.
Then, King Huan leaned forward, pointed at Shangjun with his finger, and said: "Please see, Prime Minister, Shangjun is bordering the current territory of our country, but there are many inconveniences for carriages and horses."
"And here." As he spoke, he moved slightly and clicked on another place: "Xingyang, if Xiangbang can draw a stroke here, then the territory of our country will be completely connected.
For this king’s heart’s wish.”
"This, this..." What could Prime Minister Jin say? He could only look at King Huan with a grimace and almost begged: "Your Highness, such a request..."
"Huh?" King Huan interrupted him again and said casually: "Xiangbang can consider it. There is no need to rush to answer, but I have to remind you that based on the current situation of Jin, if Huan's army joins the war again
If so, haha..."
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister of Jin couldn't help but change his expression, and then said: "Your Highness, King Huan, our country and your country have always been on good terms, and we have had many alliances. As an original ally, how could your Highness do this?"
"Haha." King Huan laughed again, stood up and said, "I have said before that empty words are useless. It is better to talk about practical issues."
Whether they are allies or not are all based on their own interests. Everyone knows this in their hearts.
The current King Huan has conquered the Jin Kingdom, just like a villain who suddenly gained power.
Given his character, these Jin prime ministers had actually expected this, but it was somewhat difficult for him to accept it just to ask him to cede the land with his own hands.
Can you not accept it? He knelt down in front of the map and looked at it blankly for a long time. Then he looked at King Huan and said, "Your Highness, if our country retreats to Xingyang, then Huan will never send troops to Jin again."
"Of course!" King Huan nodded immediately without even thinking about it.
"Well, then..." Prime Minister Jin gritted his teeth secretly.
When he heard this, King Huan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately waved to his attendants.
The latter understood and quickly brought the brush over. King Huan picked up the brush with his right hand and handed it to the Prime Minister himself. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and said: "Please, Prime Minister."
You must know that the prime minister of a country at that time could cede territory.
Looking at the brush in front of him, Jin Xiang reluctantly took it, then couldn't help but swallow, and then started to write with trembling hands.
As the prime minister of Jin, one can imagine how he felt when he was forced to cede territory.
The hand holding the brush could not help but tremble.
Seeing this, King Huan smiled slightly and said: "Xiangbang's hand, please don't shake too much. Please note that when a stroke on the map reaches the ground, it is no longer a matter of one mile or two..."
When he was extremely slow and handed over Xingyang to Huan Guo, King Huan said neither lightly nor seriously:
Chapter completed!
