Chapter 1348: The princes allied to attack the Japanese
Although Zhang Yi, Zhuge Liang and others had just returned and were exhausted from the long journey, they still managed to gather their energy and rush to Li Xiang's palace as soon as possible after hearing that Li Xiang had summoned them.
The lord is still waiting for you there, no matter how tired you are, you have to go! Otherwise, you are ignorant. How can you get a promotion, raise your salary, and marry Bai Fumei in the future?
"What was the result of this trip?" When Zhang Yi and Zhuge Liang arrived at the palace, they briefly exchanged greetings, and then Li Xiang directly asked the main question of the day.
"Reporting to my lord, Xuzhou Zhao Kuangyin has agreed to form an alliance with our army to defeat the Japanese!"
"My lord, the same is true for Zhu Yuanzhang of Yangzhou!" Zhang Yi and Zhuge Liang said with great interest.
Not only Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang, but also Liu Bei and Dou Jiande have received satisfactory answers.
Apart from Dou Jiande, who is just pretending to be there, just to go through the motions, Liu Bei's place is the easiest!
Speaking of which, the lobbyist who was sent to Dou Jiande thought he had gone through a battle of wits and courage, but he had no idea that Su Qin was just there to ask him to act with him. In fact, the result of the matter had already been
It's doomed.
It has to be said that Liu Bei is indeed a person who attaches great importance to fame, and fame has indeed brought him great benefits.
In particular, Liu Bei's foundation is weak, at least not as good as other princes in the world. Regardless of his previous life or this life, this reputation has brought great help to Liu Bei, and his achievements are inseparable from this reputation.
However, it is also destined that Liu Bei must cherish his feathers and be righteous, and he cannot help but obey. Moreover, there are huge benefits to be gained from the Eastern Expedition to Japan.
Not long after the Japanese invaders invaded Xu, news about Japan's rich gold and silver mines had spread to the Han Dynasty more and more intensely, and it could even be said that it was an uproar.
Naturally, it is impossible for the princes to believe all of this news, but it is absolutely impossible to not believe it at all and directly deny this news.
Of course, it is unrealistic to ask Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang to expedition to Japan based on such an uncertain rumor and uncertain interests.
However, the Jin army's grand expedition to Japan forced Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang to think about the intentions behind these. After all, except for the so-called gold mines and silver mines, they really could not think of the Jin army.
There are other possible reasons for the expedition to Japan.
Although they have not met Li Xiang officially many times, they have been enemies of each other for so many years, so it is impossible not to know that Li Xiang is definitely a person who can't afford to be early without any benefit.
If they previously believed less than 30% of the news about the existence of those gold and silver mines, the Jin army's active desire to conquer Japan made their credibility of this news even more than 70%.
Conquering the world will definitely not work without money. Therefore, at this point, it is worthwhile for them to make their decision.
However, since Zhang Yi and Zhuge Liang have already arrived and actively proposed an alliance, how could old foxes like Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang not strive for more benefits and earn a little more! Therefore, while forming an alliance, some activities must be carried out.
Benefit exchange!
These first-generation people who conquered the world were quite economical in all aspects, unlike those who later guarded the world and spent money lavishly if they didn't pay attention!
Besides, as long as Li Xiang wanted to conquer Japan through the Yangtze River, it would be absolutely impossible without the cooperation of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang. If they grasp this well, they can strive for related benefits.
However, Li Xiang is definitely not being taken advantage of. He cannot give the other party benefits in vain, and the other party has to give him what he wants.
Let’s talk about the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhuge Liang first. When the two sides were negotiating, Zhu Yuanzhang’s first request was to return the captured Yangzhou Army generals during the Battle of Jingbei, especially Zhu Muying, who was Zhu Yuanzhang’s confidant and fierce general and had been following him for ten years.
For many years.
What's more, this Zhu Muying is still the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he is said to be an adopted son, his treatment in all aspects is not as good as that of his parents.
And Zhu Muying was also loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. When Zhu Yuanzhang retreated, facing Yue Fei who was hotly pursuing him, it was Zhu Muying who took the initiative to ask Ying to lead his army to stop the enemy and cut off the retreating Zhu Yuanzhang. Only then was he captured alive by Yue Fei.
Afterwards, after Zhu Yuanzhang learned that Zhu Muying had not died in the battle, he tried every means to rescue Zhu Muying. Now that he finally had the opportunity, of course he had to seize it!
In this negotiation, Zhu Yuanzhang behaved like a knife, and he did not give in at all on this point.
In the end, the Jin army agreed to Zhu Yuanzhang's request.
Of course, Zhuge Liang agreed to agree to Zhu Yuanzhang's request on behalf of the Jin army, and Zhu Yuanzhang must also agree to his request. Zhuge Liang's request is that Zhu Yuanzhang must open the road and allow Yu Yunwen, who is still in Shanyue, to return to Jingbei
.
Speaking of Yu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang hated him with all his heart. Of course, he also admired his talents. If it weren't for this man, how could Shan Yue think of stealing his hometown during the Jingbei War!
If the generals Zhu Yuanzhang left behind were not powerful enough, there might be a real risk of having the crystal exploded!
In fact, if he had known that Shanyue had the guts to steal his hometown, he would have to completely deal with Shanyue first even if he didn't bother to deal with Xiang Yu. But in order to deal with Xiang Yu, he still temporarily retained one of their forces, and
He left this disaster for himself.
Afterwards, Yu Yunwen stayed with Shan Yue and stubbornly helped Shan Yue resist his attack. Fortunately, the gap between Shan Yue and Zhu Yuanzhang could not be bridged by just one talent, especially since Zhu Yuanzhang had become completely serious.
, when I don’t plan to leave the trouble of Yamakoshi anymore.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had achieved a crucial victory not long ago. Zhu Yuanzhang was confident that it would not take long before he would completely pacify Shanyue. By then, Zhu Yuanzhang was already thinking about capturing Yu Yunwen in his hands and trying to find a way to make him
He came to serve himself.
However, now this possibility has been completely lost. Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that if he did not agree to give way to Yu Yunwen, then Zhu Muying would not come back.
Then there are some other agreements between the two parties, such as changing Zhu Yuanzhang's King of Jiaozhou to King of Wu.
Of course, while Zhu Yuanzhang is realizing his own interests, he must also agree to some interests of the Jin army. This is not an alliance under the city. The negotiation between the two parties is essentially an exchange of interests. When one party gets what it wants, it also
The needs of the other party must be met.
The situation at Zhao Kuangyin's place is almost the same, but due to various factors, Zhang Yi, who is the most talkative, actually lost here. From this point of view, it is enough to see that Zhao Kuangyin's situation is not simple. Likewise,
He is a difficult master to deal with!
It was also difficult for Zhao Kuangyin, who thought of using Li Xiang's wife, or future wife, to lead Zhang Yi's army.
