Chapter 499 The Second Central Plains War

At the same time, Cai Yan arrived in Wudu.

He is very famous among celebrities all over the world.

Therefore, King Wu attached great importance to his arrival, and even ordered Prime Minister Wu to receive him personally.

On this day, the state of Wu held a meeting.

There are imperial guards on both sides of the palace gate.

After arriving here, Wu Xiang stretched out his hand:

"Master Cai, please."

"Please, Prime Minister."

The two greeted each other politely and then entered the court meeting hall.

At this time, all the officials gathered in the palace and lined up on both sides. King Wu had already sat on the king's chair directly above him and was waiting early.

Seeing that Cai Yan had arrived, all the ministers of Wu State couldn't help but look sideways.

The latter smiled slightly, as if nodding to the people, then walked to the center of the hall, bowed his hands and bowed, and gave a formal salute:

"Cai Yan, the envoy of Liang, has met His Highness the King of Wu."

"The envoy is exempt from the courtesy." King Wu stretched out his hand slightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Cai Yan straightened his body, his appearance was relatively frail, he was about forty, he had an indescribable bookish air about him, and his beard was well groomed.

Before he could speak, King Wu took the lead and asked, "Master Cai, why are you here?"

"Your Highness, I am here specifically to save Wu." Cai Yan said in a surprising tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, discussions started in the court hall, and many ministers began to whisper among themselves.

Some people even sneered: "Master Cai, everyone in the world doesn't know that now that the King of Qin is attacking Liang, your country has lost the decisive battle in the Pingjin area and is probably in danger. And when you come here, I am afraid that you will probably ask for help from Wu State, but you still dare to do so."

Isn’t it ridiculous to speak so loudly without being ashamed?”

"That's wrong." Cai Yan said calmly: "It's true that it helps Liang, but at the same time, it also saves Wu."

"Haha." The minister laughed angrily.

Someone else said lukewarmly: "Master Cai, Liang State is in danger. If you want to ask others for help, you should put down your dignity and be careful in your words and deeds..."

King Wu even shook his head.

Cai Yan ignored everyone's ridicule and faced King Wu directly: "I have a story that is very touching. I wonder if Your Highness is interested?"

"Oh? Mr. Cai, please tell me." King Wu was very interested.

Cai Yandao: "Once upon a time, there was a luxurious mansion where seven people lived. Their houses were in different locations, but they were the common owners of this luxurious mansion."

"The one who lives in the northwest house has always been arrogant and arrogant. He often bullies his neighbors. One day, he started to cause trouble for the one in the north."

"The man in the north was unreasonably suppressed and turned to other brothers for help, but the others ignored him. What do they think it has to do with me?"

"As a result, not long after this incident, the arrogant man in the northwest bullied the owner of the south house again."

"The owner of the South House, like the owner of the North House, also started asking for help from other brothers, but again, he didn't help before. How could others help him this time?"

"In this way, the barbarians from the northwest bullied the six masters one by one, but the six masters still had their own little plans."

"In the end, my family's property and land were plundered one by one, and I could only swallow my anger and be gradually driven out of the mansion..."

His metaphors are vivid and vivid.

After hearing this, all the ministers of Wu State were stunned.

King Wu opened his eyes even more. This story is simple and clear.

After Cai Yan finished speaking, he said seriously: "Your Highness, King Wu! As the old saying goes, under the overturned nest, there are no eggs left intact! King Qin's intention to annex the world has become clear! If all the countries are still sweeping the snow in front of their doors,

, after the war in the north, the next victim will be the State of Wu!"

"At that time, the Qin army will come down the river from Ningyang! May I ask Your Highness, can the Wu army stop it?"

"This..." King Wu swallowed.

Cai Yan continued: "If Your Highness is not confident enough to resist the tiger and wolf forces of Qin, then you must take advantage of the undecided situation in the north to weaken Qin first! Only in this way can Wu be in an invincible position!"

"Weak Qin?" King Wu asked subconsciously.

"That's right!" Cai Yan explained: "Qin, a barbaric land in the northwest, knows no etiquette! Barbarian people should return to a barbaric country!"

"If all the countries unite, they will be able to lock the King of Qin in Shanyu Pass again!"

King Wu thought about it.

Cai Yan pressed forward step by step: "If Liang is defeated and the south is in danger, isn't this saving Wu itself?"

King Wu narrowed his eyes: "But even if I agree to you, what about the other monarchs?"

"As long as His Highness decides to weaken Qin, the monarchs of all countries will definitely agree, because it is related to the safety of the world!" Cai Yan said confidently.

Hearing this, King Wu couldn't help but gleamed in his eyes: "Okay! I fully agree with Master Cai's strategy of weakening Qin. There is no problem with Wu Jun helping Liang, but as for Chu Jun..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will set off immediately to the Kingdom of Chu to ask for an audience with the King of Chu." Cai Yan returned immediately, with uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

During this court meeting, Cai Yan used his eloquence to successfully persuade King Wu.

He still had many tasks, and after he hurriedly resigned, the ministers of Wu State also began to stand up.

Someone said: "Well, Your Majesty, is it inappropriate to agree to Cai Yan so easily?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Qin army is not easy to mess with..."

Listening to the minister's concerns, King Wu said seriously: "Because of this, I have to agree to Cai Yan. His reasoning has been made very clear. The Qin army is indeed in danger of going south."

"And with his strategy of weakening Qin, if he can lock the King of Qin in the mountain pass, it will be a good thing for all countries..."

The State of Wu is very close to the State of Chu, right next to it.

Cai Yan traveled all the way in a hurry. Due to the urgency of the war, he did not dare to delay at all. He rushed to the capital of Chu in a dusty journey.

Here in the Chu State, he did not tell the story again, but changed his rhetoric. Because of the location of the Chu State, it was separated from the Qin State by the Wu State, and there was a buffer zone.

In the Chu court, he first debated with a group of Chu ministers, then faced the King of Chu and said:

"Today the emperor is controlled in the capital of Qin. The king of Qin holds the imperial flag to order the princes. He attacks Liang without reason, but he uses his name to regain the lost territory for the empire."

"Your Highness understands all this, but he doesn't know the seriousness of the matter."

"Suppose the King of Qin sends an edict today to praise His Highness in the name of the Emperor, and tomorrow he issues an edict to condemn His Highness again. Will Your Highness accept it or not?"

"If you don't accept it, the King of Qin has a good reason. He said that Your Highness has committed rebellion and disrespected the Emperor's orders. Then he told the world and raised troops to fight against it. What should Your Highness do?"

Hearing this, King Chu's eyes tightened.

There is no doubt that Cai Yan's talent is needless to say. In addition, the king of Wu has promised to weaken Qin, and the king of Chu actually doesn't have to waste too much words.
