Chapter 319 The Fisherman's Profit (Part 2)
The envoy of Jin State rushed to Liaodong in a long time and first visited the King of Yan to convey the meaning of Emperor Jin Sima You. He did not want to enter the territory of Liaodong, but he saw countless injuries and medical treatment in the county town, and the envoy was shocked! He hurriedly sent someone to inquire and found out that when he fought with the Han army the day before yesterday, the Jin people suffered heavy losses and achieved a tragic victory.
At present, the entire Liaodong is hotly discussed that Wang Rong and the fisherman benefited, and actually used the battle between Jin and Han to obtain all the territory occupied by the Han army in Liaodong!
The minister of Jin State Pei Xiu had just arrived in Yedu. After a little discussion, Emperor Jin sent an envoy. He went on a journey day and night without wasting a trace of time. However, after so two days of hard work, the Liaodong Jin army actually started fighting with the Han army, but was plotted by Wang Rong. If this news reached Yedu, it would cause a greater sensation.
The civil and military officials in the court and His Majesty's reaction did not have much to do with the envoy. The matter was created by the King of Yan in Liaodong, and the process was participated by all the generals of the Jin army in the place. The envoy was just a message conveying. Although he was in a bad mood, it had nothing to do with it.
When he heard that the imperial envoys had arrived, King Sima Ji of Yan, General Jibi Meng Guan and others led Liaodong civil and military officials to welcome him. The dignified King Yan was just one person and above ten thousand people. He led the crowd to welcome him personally, so that the envoys were flattered, submissive, and very respectful.
After some politeness, the envoy read out the imperial edict, and King Sima Ji of Yan and General Jibi Meng Guan assisted Pei Xiu in winning over foreign races and each had rewards. Two people in Liaodong military and political affairs were still in charge, and they should actively join King Rong to seek the Liaodong Han army.
Such instructions on paper are different in private. Emperor Jin Sima You secretly instructed the King of Yan and others not to be impatient in everything, and to be steady first in everything. Even if you cannot regain the land of Liaodong in a short period of time, it would be fine. Because after the land of Liaodong was occupied by the Han people, the future belonged to Wang Rong.
If you want to use Wang Rong, you have to consume his spirit and wear off his patience first. When Wang Rong was eager to get the land, he deeply realized that he would never be able to kill the Han army by himself. At that time, the position of the Jin army was beneficial, and Wang Rong's alien sword would be easy to use.
Before this, you can just accumulate energy.
With such guidance from Emperor Jin, King Sima Ji of Yan and General Jibi Meng Guan of General Jibi were convinced and complained. Emperor Jin saw through the key interests of the cooperation between the two sides, but he had been waiting in Liaodong for a long time, but he was eager for quick success and instant benefits, which led to such an ending.
What should I do?
It’s so strange that I have never understood the nature of cooperation, and it’s so strange that Wang Rong is too insidious and despicable. Who would have thought that Wang Rong had a completely self-disciplined position on the battle of joining forces, and had no intention of cooperation, and completely used the Jin army as a tool?
After thanking him, the three of them took their seats in separate seats. King Sima Ji of Yan looked gloomy, and General Meng Guan of the Crossbow was also sighing. Seeing this, the envoy naturally knew the mentality of the two at this time. Before His Majesty's imperial edict arrived, he acted rashly and led to such a disastrous defeat. The situation suddenly escalated and it was difficult to control.
Every family has a difficult sutra, and the messenger sympathized with the experiences of King Yan and others, but he was going to send a mission to a foreign race. The status, capital and strength of the foreign race have undergone tremendous changes, and the original strategy may not necessarily apply. If there is any accident, wouldn’t it be a humiliation of the national system and a loss of his head?
The three of them sat in the hall with their heads drooping, sighing, and their faces were gloomy. No one was willing to speak, but they all understood each other's difficulties.
Apology is necessary, but national affairs are more important than personal culprits. Jin State had a friction with Wang Rong, and the other party forced several cities to make the Jin people confident in front of the Jin army, making the Jin people feel embarrassed. Next, the envoy came there, should he read the script or make some statements?
The only thing that can be grasped about these things is Emperor Jin Sima You. The three of them were thinking about whether to postpone the time to go to the foreign race.
"I didn't expect that the matter would be like this. Since the King of Yan had sent someone to report to the emperor, I will wait for the emperor's wishes here. I hope that the King of Yan will not spread the news outside, so that Wang Rong and others may have some doubts." The envoy saw that the King of Yan and others had no movement for a long time, and knew that they could not go wild, so he said slowly.
King Yan Sima Ji nodded and said, "The envoy is right. The situation in Liaodong has changed. We must not make the situation worse. Everything depends on Your Majesty. I really didn't expect that Wang Junchong was so dirty, which made me very upset!"
The dignified King of Yan of Jin was actually accused by a foreign race, and it was a living loss of soldiers and generals. This matter was originally disgraceful, and there were more rumors on the head of King Yan. The Sima family had no outstanding figures, but the King of Yan was defeated again. I am afraid that the scholars in Hebei would greatly reduce the evaluation of Sima family. This was something that King Yan Sima Ji did not like, and it was something that Emperor Jin Sima You didn't want to hear.
The envoy smiled bitterly when he heard this, "This time the emperor came, Lord Pei once told the emperor that although Wang Rong was a scholar from the Central Plains, he could be outside the border for several years and block the door of etiquette and morality. He could not control the Han people. He had to be careful. Unexpectedly, his words came true and he was really criticized by Lord Pei."
Meng Guan, the general of Jibi, also said helplessly: "The so-called driving tigers and swallowing wolves to reap profits. According to Your Majesty's wishes, we, the onlookers at that time, did not observe for a while, and were ashamed of being a tiger and wolf. If the situation in Liaodong was not treacherous, Meng would have entered Beijing to apologize for himself."
King Sima Ji of Yan shook his head and said, "It's still Lord Pei's words that are reasonable. Wang Junchong knows etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, but he is out of the matter and acts very strangely. You must be more careful when dealing with it in the future."
The envoy sighed and said, "What the King of Yan and General Meng said is very important. The current handling is very important. Do not send the Han people away and Wang Rong comes again. At that time, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be furious."
Since then, the Han army has disappeared from the rear of Jin State, and Wang Rong can be replaced by Wang Rong. Seeing that Wang Rong is profit-oriented, he is not profit-oriented, and has great ambitions. If he wants to plot against Wang Rong, he must make plans for the long term. If he wants to appease Wang Rong, he must also beware of his lion's words.
Wang Rong's position in Liaodong can become a barrier for Jin State, and it is more likely to become a confidant of Jin State. It is true that Wang Rong attaches importance to his family, but he just sent his family to urinate and plays with such methods. This shows that Wang Rong is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. He uses scheming means to obtain benefits within the rules, which makes people angry, but he cannot tear his face apart.
King Sima Ji of Yan also knew that the only way to obey orders and take into account the overall situation. No matter what, he drove away the Han army and temporarily stabilized the situation in Liaodong. Although Jin State had some hidden worries, such a situation was enough to allow Jin State to have sufficient capital negotiations in front of the Han Dynasty. In this way, it could be regarded as achieving the original strategy.
"Well... I heard that Emperor Liu Chan of Han turned to Sichuan and deposed his son and crown prince. I wonder what the situation in the Central Plains?" King Yan Sima Ji changed his mind and cared about the situation in the Central Plains.
The envoy heard this and said, "Recently, news has been frequent, and all the lords in the court have also been talking about it. The Han army retreated to various places and divided their troops in the Central Plains. It seems that the situation in the Central Plains is not stable. It is a war or a peace, and there is no conclusion at the moment."
General Jibi Meng Guan didn't say anything for a long time, and said at this time: "I and the King of Yan both understand the battle reports ahead. Although the army used by the Han people was a partial army, the troops were still quite strong. At this time, the Han Emperor was not in Xuchang, so it seemed inappropriate to send envoys into Sichuan."
The journey from Yecheng to Chengdu is more than a thousand miles. Jin State really sends envoys at this time, and it will take a long time to go. The situation in the world is in a state of change and may change at any time. It is undoubtedly difficult to send envoys at this time.
The mission carried by the messenger does not conform to the changing situation at any time. It is not only difficult to achieve the mission, but even more difficult is to restrict and influence the decisions of Jin State and be in a passive position. At present, Jin State has shown a strong side, but time is not the best suitable for sending envoys.
Moreover, the Han people decided to fight before the first time the Jin State sent envoys. Although they were frustrated at this time, what plans did the Han people still remain in the uncertain world!
Is the war enough to sit down and have a good talk?
The envoy shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty's decision is not something that the lower officials can guess. There is no conclusive statement in the court. It seems that it is still too early to say it. However, if the King of Yan and Lord Meng have any opinions, you might as well say it bluntly. When the lower officials return to the court, they will definitely repost it with Your Majesty."
King Sima Ji of Yan and General Jibi Meng Guan both looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning of this. The ministers in the court must have been arguing. If Emperor Sima You of Jin could make a decision, why should he ask King Yan and Meng Guan's views so far away? It would be light to say that, in fact, the complex factions in the court would be very troublesome if they argued.
Emperor Jin Sima You's decisiveness was much higher than that of Sima Yan, but everyone had different judgments on the situation. Especially before making a decision, the ministers in the court had to consider their own interests in combination with their own interests. They had different starting points, different opinions, and even different judgments. Even the upright ministers in the court had their own perspectives and views based on the interests of the country.
Emperor Jin Sima You couldn't handle it, and it seemed that things were not easy to deal with.
King Sima Ji of Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The turmoil in the Central Plains is a rare opportunity, but the Han lord's ability may not last too long. Whether to fight or make a decision early, it must be based on the situation in the Central Plains."
The talents of the ministers in the court far exceeded that of the King of Yan Sima Ji. These famous scholars and scholars could not argue with the King of Yan and did not dare to make a conclusion. However, Emperor Jin Sima You deliberately asked, but the King of Yan had to say that he could not decide whether to fight or to himself.
This is a major national event and will become a turning point in the fate of Jin. Who dares to draw a conclusion? You should know that Sima's family has just been established in Jin for only two months. How can they be uncautious if they want to make such a major decision?
Seeing this, Meng Guan, general of the Crossbow, said: "It is indeed a rare opportunity for the Han people to suffer from this turmoil. It may take some time to completely quell the riots. If we can reach a non-aggressive alliance with the Han people, our great Jin Dynasty can fully restore our national strength during this period!"
Emperor Sima You of Jin asked about the views of the King of Yan. Although the crossbow general Meng Guan was not bad at all, he was still the last person in the court to discuss seniority. The so-called inquiry was just out of politeness. Therefore, Meng Guan knew that people were so slight, so she dared to speak boldly.
...
Occupying the cities left by the Han people, the alien race not only had a place to settle down, but also occupied a hundred miles of land, which can be said to have a foundation for development.
In the foreign race rebellion, Liaodong suffered less wars, but the people still hated the foreign races outside the border. Hatred is true, but what about the unarmed people facing the fierce foreign races? They have been killed long ago, and hatred is just in their hearts. On the surface, they dare not even express themselves.
It was not only the combat power of the alien race, but also the countless families of the alien race, young and old. At this time, Wang Rong did not need to take into account the gaze of Jin State. The troops originally hiding behind were driven into the city in groups with women, children, elderly and weak.
At this time, Jin State was helpless. If it turned against each other, Wang Rong would be more than twice as strong as the Han army in Liaodong?
Sitting in the mansion, Wang Rong sighed slightly, after many years of storm and sand, he never thought that he could return to his previous life in his lifetime. However, people have changed, and in the same environment, they have lost their original state of mind and feelings.
"What's the situation?" The footsteps sounded, and Wang Rong asked without looking up, knowing who the person was.
The alien man who entered the room was about forty years old. He had a bronze skin and a firm expression on his face, his eyes shining brightly like an eagle and falcon, and his every move was quite wise.
"As the king expected, all the city and treasury governments were transported out, and there were fewer people in the city. I have sent someone to inquire. A few days ago, the Han people started to transport money, grain and manpower, and I don't know where to go." The man stood aside with his hands behind his back, feeling a little confused about the troubles in front of him, but he was still full of confidence in his expression.
Wang Rong nodded slightly and said, "You did a good job in Gucha. Even you can't find out where the Han people are. It would be useless to continue to investigate. It seems that the Han people have long been ready to give up these cities. Fortunately, the Jin people proposed the combat policy of using tricks, otherwise they would be quietly withdrawn by the Han people, and we may not have the chance to seize the territory."
The bronze man named Guchana, and he was one of Wang Rong's most trusted subordinates. Hearing this, he smiled slightly, "With the wisdom of the king, even if the Han people retreat, they will definitely get what they want. However, the situation was not clear a few days ago, why did the Han people prepare for withdrawing their troops?"
A few days ago, the situation of the three parties remained unchanged, and the Han people quietly transferred their materials and manpower silently. Why is this? If they cannot grasp the mentality of the Han people, they may be left behind the situation. Giving up this difficult-to-get-hundred-mile land will inevitably have greater benefits, or something has happened.
Otherwise, the Han people crossed the sea and seized the Liaodong cities for that purpose?
Wang Rong pondered: "All news here must be investigated from the Jin people. Although there have been many spies, there is still little news. After formally establishing diplomatic relations with Jin State, we can secretly send people to the Central Plains. If we do not have our own source of information, we will not be able to think of why we want to break our heads here."
Since he was determined to be in the land of China, Wang Rong had already sent people to infiltrate Hebei to find out the news. However, many of the news were among the people. Emperor Liu Chan of Han was proficient in creating rumors and confusing his opponents through public opinion, making it impossible for the opponents to know accurate news. Even if they get accurate news, they have to go through some screening.
In such an environment, Wang Rong sent people to get all kinds of information, and it took a lot of effort to see the situation clearly.
After seizing the city this time, the Jin people must have strengthened their efforts to treat Wang Rong and other aliens. Therefore, it is not easy to penetrate the eyes and ears before the emperor of Jin arrived. Wang Rong knew very well that this matter was hasty and could not be achieved, so he could only follow the steps.
Gu Chana smiled with white teeth and said, "There are no particles in the Ku Mansion, and the people in the city have been reduced by half. How to raise money and grain next depends on the instructions of the king."
Wang Rong didn't know what he was thinking, and heard this: "The money and food in the army are at the bottom, and the Ku Mansion has no gains. Why are you still so relaxed in such a dilemma? Do you need this king to punish you?"
Gu Cha Na smiled and said, "Before meeting the king, Gu Cha Na never thought that people of all races could live so close and like a family. He never thought that with us, the mobs, could actually make a way out of life in the annexation of the tribe. With the king here, Gu Cha Na just needs to obey orders and complete the tasks assigned by the king. What should I worry about?"
Wang Rong laughed and said, "The city has already existed, and money and food have its own sources. Just come here to listen to it."
When Gu Cha Na left, Wang Rong fell into deep thought again. The movements of the Han army were really strange. Before the balance of power, he was about to leave Liaodong. What was his plan to do?
If the Han people had not had any intention, it would be that something had happened in the Han people, or for other considerations. Compared with Pei Xiu's suffocating oppression and the wisdom that makes people dare not speak out, the Han people's private actions have another terrible feeling.
The Han warships had already left, and they sent cavalry along the land to search for dozens of miles, but there was no trace of the Han people. All the crews crossed the sea to return to the Central Plains, which was the only direction of action of the Han people, which was even more confusing. But if you think about it carefully, you can feel relieved. The Han people took away nearly half of the population within a radius of 100 miles, which was also a "attack" against the Jin State.
The letter of nationality in the Jin State must have arrived in just a few days. At that time, Wang Rong could establish his own country and gain a foothold. However, his performance in the battle with the Han army would definitely not reassure the Jin people. As the saying goes, a small impatience will cause chaos in big plans, and he still cannot offend the Jin people at this time.
After thinking about it, although this problem of solving the problem of money and food exposed its own crisis, it was also an opportunity for Jin State to regain its "critical points". Only by putting the handle in the hands of the Jin people can the Jin people feel at ease to cooperate with them, right?
...
King Yan Sima Ji was waiting for the latest instructions from Yedu when someone suddenly came to report to the foreign race to send an envoy to ask for a visit. The King of Yan turned angry and went up to Meishan. General Meng Guan, the crossbow, hurriedly said: "King Yan, don't be angry, please make plans after reading his words."
The envoy of Jin State was also on the seat and persuaded him after hearing this: "General Meng said so much. If Wang Rong occupied some cities, it would be difficult. It would be better to use this to test it out and understand the situation and report it to Your Majesty."
Seeing that the two of them were right, the anger on their faces gradually faded, and they ordered someone to invite people from other races to enter the hall to prepare a banquet for entertainment, so as to spy on each other's Xu and True.
