Chapter 1866: Barbarian envoys arrive in Shu, two counties and three nobles
Wei Yang attaches great importance to the law. If someone sets an example, it will naturally be conducive to the implementation of the rule of law.
However, it is impossible to really let the emperor die here, then everything will be meaningless!
Wei Yang's emphasis on law is essentially to make Jin strong. But if something goes wrong with Li Xiang, the Jin army will be in chaos, and the newly established Jin Dynasty will also be panicked, and Wei Yang's law will be lost.
its inherent meaning.
Therefore, Wei Yang had to stand up at this time.
When Li Xiang heard this, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
"There is some truth in what I say. Since I have the great responsibility of pacifying the world, let's put my life aside for the time being."
Li Xiang doesn't really want to seek death and survival here. He has almost finished his acting. When there is a step to go down, it is natural to get off! What if he uses too much force and fails to grasp the step and ends in time?
Then all this today will be in vain.
Zhang Chi has a good attitude and cooperates well with each other, so that this good show can continue!
"Your Majesty is clear!" the soldiers shouted in surprise.
Li Xiang wasn't done yet. He took off the tie on his hair and cut off a small strand of hair with a swing of his sword.
Li Xiang held up his hair and shouted: "Today, I will cut off my hair to take the place of the head. I will redeem it with meritorious service in the future. I will pass this hair on to the three armies to show the military power!"
As the saying goes, the hair and skin of the body are influenced by the parents. In ancient times, you really couldn't let go of your hair easily! However, this move did not put any psychological pressure on Li Xiang.
"Your Majesty is righteous!" The soldiers all admired him, saying in their hearts that His Majesty the Emperor is truly a man of his word. I admire him so much...
Liu Bowen and Wei Yang looked at each other and understood...
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the achievement of cutting off his hair and acting as his head. As a reward, two random attributes will be permanently increased by one. The current force is permanently +1, and the charm is permanently +1. Li Xiang's attributes have been increased to 102 for commander, 105 for force, 103 for intelligence, 104 for politics, and 104 for charm.
105."
"Your Majesty, Kong Ming has sent a message, and the Nanman sent envoy Shunanda to come, seemingly intending to surrender!"
At the end of the performance, Liu Bowen and Wei Yang gently whipped their horses and made them run quickly for two steps. They drove alongside Li Xiang's chariot and reported softly.
Although Zhuge Liang did go to Hanzhong early to greet Li Xiang, Yizhou had just been recovered, so he could not stay in Hanzhong forever, and Li Xiang would stay at some places for a few days along the way. Therefore, objectively
Reality did not allow Zhuge Liang to accompany the driver. After picking up the driver in Hanzhong, he returned to Chengdu early.
But not long after Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu, Shunanda, the envoy from Nanman, had already arrived!
Shunanda was indeed a smart young man, but he was still too young in front of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had already figured out his intentions in just a few words.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang passed the news over early so that Li Xiang and the others could be prepared, or negotiate a price in advance!
"Shunanda!" Li Xiang muttered, and finally found this figure from a fragment of memory.
I still remember that many years ago, Sunantuo came to perform dances among the Han Dynasty. Li Xiang, who happened to be in Chang'an at that time, met Sunantuo.
So, this isn't exactly a stranger anymore!
"If the Southern Barbarians surrender, the barbarian territory can be divided into three counties: Nanzhong County, Yunzhong County, and Man County. One of the three counties can be selected as the governor and placed in the four counties of Jianwei County, Zhuti County, Yuexu County, and Zangke County.
The county chooses one governor and rewards him with the combined positions of the two county governors. After all, this is a barbarian land and cannot do without the support of the barbarians!"
"In addition, we can grant the title of Marquis of Ting to three people who take the initiative to return to Jin's hometown!" Li Xiang took the initiative and said after thinking for a while.
Li Xiang's words sounded like a direct decision, rather than a discussion with Liu Bowen and Wei Yang.
Li Xiang asked himself that the conditions he had given were already his bottom line. Even if he wanted to negotiate, he could only negotiate above this bottom line. If Nanman really dared to be greedy, then Li Xiang wanted them to understand.
A small snake cannot swallow a giant elephant, and will be trampled to death by the giant elephant without a doubt.
Li Xiang planned to divide the Southern Barbarians' territory into three counties. Even if the Southern Barbarians were willing to surrender, among these three counties, they would only be able to assign at most one county guard position for the Southern Barbarians to serve as county guards. If so.
If there are more, it will be even more troublesome for the Jin people to completely master the Nanman in a short period of time!
Two counties, plus three marquis positions, are definitely full of sincerity for the current Nanman.
After all, for Li Xiang, the current headache for the Jin army is not their strength, but the local environment.
However, factors such as the environment will be gradually overcome over time. Relying solely on the evil local natural environment and not having sufficient strength, the Southern Barbarians obviously do not have much qualifications to bargain with the Jin army.
Liu Che can spend several years adapting to the natural environment of the Southern Barbarians and conquering the Southern Barbarians step by step. Can't Li Xiang do it? It's not that he can't, but it's really that he doesn't want to. It's not necessary. They don't have to do it now.
Nanman wastes so much energy.
Don't underestimate the positions of the three marquises. Although they are not the county marquis at the top, they are the rural marquis and the Ting marquis further down. However, even in the current Jin army system, in addition to one Li Jing, there are also
Who has been awarded the position of County Marquis due to his meritorious service?
Even if it is the Xianghou or Tinghou further down, how many people in the Jin army system have obtained it, and what kind of people can obtain these two titles in the Jin army?
Therefore, two county guards, plus three titles, is the most that Li Xiang can give. After that, no matter how they negotiate with the Nanman side, the things they can give can only be below this.
Absolutely no more than this.
Liu Bowen and Wei Yang didn't express any unnecessary opinions. Li Xiang had already made up his mind, and there was no big disclosure. The two of them couldn't go against the boss for no reason!
In fact, in the opinion of Liu Bowen and Wei Yang, although the position of county governor cannot be given too much, there is no problem at all if they are given a few false posts that sound high-level but actually have no real power.
As for the titles, if necessary, it is not a problem to give the other party a few more!
As long as the problem of the Southern Barbarians is solved, what's the point of just a few titles? They can give it out now, but don't they have no reason to take it back in the future?
This kind of thing can't be easier if you put some effort into it! Moreover, when the time comes, keeping it can convince anyone!
