Jiang County.
Although Wu Nian is surprised and happy to be a grandfather. But it's really hot now.
The palace, in a room.
Wu Nian sat on the throne and Liu Zhixing sat on the chair. The two chatted while eating ice-cold watermelon and spitting out the seeds.
This ice is hidden in the ice cellar in winter and only taken out in summer.
Wu Nian unscrupulously unbuttoned his clothes and exposed his chest to dissipate heat. Liu Zhixing was very elegant, even if he was sweating profusely, his official uniform was neat.
"Zhixing. What do you think of Haida's military parade in Dadu, Mongolia and Yuan Dynasties?" Wu Nian took a big bite of watermelon and asked.
"It seems that King Keton doesn't want to fight with us." Liu Zhixing replied as he sipped the melon.
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed.
The entire Chinese nation, half of the history of war.
The war nation deserves its title.
During the Han Dynasty, the old enemy on the grasslands was the Huns.
When Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, first founded the country, the Han Dynasty was relatively weak and was often attacked by the Huns. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty wanted to send troops to attack the Xiongnu, so he sent envoys to the Xiongnu to find out their true and false intentions.
The Huns hid the strong men and used the thin men to show to the Han envoys.
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty mistakenly believed that the Huns could attack, so he led an army of hundreds of thousands in the northern expedition. As a result, he fell into the Huns' scheme and was besieged by the Huns in Baideng.
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty used Chen Ping's strategy to escape in embarrassment.
Two armies fight. Showing weakness is tempting the enemy.
In turn, the show of strength is ready to come out.
However, according to the intelligence from the Imperial City Division's spies, Haida was not pretending to be strong, but actually very strong. In addition, Meng Yuan's cities and mountains are steep and difficult to handle.
Wu Nian was deep in thought while eating melon.
What about Goguryeo and Fusang?
In this battlefield of Northeast Asia, all the weak have been wiped out. The remaining Mongolian, Slavic, and Chu states are truly powerful states.
Although the strategy was formulated, the tactics were a real headache.
"Your Majesty. Lord Gongsun asks to see you." The eunuch holding a fly whisk came in from the outside, bowed and saluted.
Wu Nian raised his eyebrows. I don't know what kind of good day it is today. Things are happening one after another.
"Please come in." Wu Nian said.
"Yes." The eunuch responded, turned around and went down. After a while, Gongsun Sang walked in from outside. After saluting, he also joined the melon-eating army.
After eating the iced watermelon, Wu Nian asked Gongsun Sang to tell him something.
Gongsun Sang took out a black handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth, and then put it back. He raised his head and saluted: "Your Majesty. The Slavs have sent envoys here."
"The title is Earl Will."
The eunuch came to Wu Nian carrying a copper basin filled with water. Wu Nian cleaned his hands and wiped away the water with a cloth.
Hearing this, he looked surprised, and then sneered: "The Mongolian people are showing off their power. And the Slavs sent envoys over, which is really interesting."
After thinking for a while, Wu Nian said to Liu Zhixing and Gongsun Sang: "Gather the cabinet ministers, the six ministers, the left and right censors and other officials to go to Yin'an Palace."
"Prepare the dragon robe. I need to take a shower and change clothes."
After finishing speaking, Wu Nian turned to the eunuch and said.
"Yes." Everyone bowed, turned around and went down. Wu Nian took a shower and changed clothes in the next room. He put on a dragon robe and a golden winged crown made of pure gold. He arrived at Yin'an Hall surrounded by people.
When Wu Nian came to the throne and sat down, all the officials saluted. After the ceremony was completed, Wu Nian asked the eunuch to announce that Earl Will was coming to the palace.
The Slavic Count Will wore gorgeous European-style clothes. He looks young, in his early thirties, with a kind appearance and a gentle temperament.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, Earl Weir bowed to Wu Nian and said his greetings.
The official in charge of translation gave Wu Nian a complete translation.
Wu Nian was not interested in the enemy's greetings. He went straight to the point and said: "Ask him. I have no friendship with Slavs, and they have fought a real battle. Now they suddenly send envoys here, what are their intentions?"
The official responded to the order and conveyed Wu Nian's intention to Count Will in a friendly manner, but polished Wu Nian's words.
Earl Weir looked respectful, bowed to Wu Nian again, and then communicated with the officials.
After the official heard this, his expression changed drastically and his breathing became rapid. He turned around and saluted Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty. The Slavs mean it."
"I want to unite with the king. Attack the Chu State from Shanhaiguan Pass and Yanmen Pass respectively. After capturing the Chu State's land, the two sides will divide it equally."
Not to mention this translation official.
The Han Dynasty had been established for many years, and the officials present were either cabinet ministers or government officials. Together with Wu Nian, he has experienced countless storms and waves, and has become an elite bureaucrat.
Their expressions also changed slightly, and a few of them were breathing rapidly.
They looked at each other and made eye contact.
Attacking Meng Yuan was the strategy set by the emperor.
But once a strategy is formulated, it doesn’t mean it can’t be changed. Now the Meng Yuan Dynasty is having a military parade in Dadu. The troops are in order and the troops are strong.
Even with the strength of the Han army, it felt difficult.
On the contrary, Chu State only guarded the Great Wall and was beaten. If the Han Dynasty attacked Chu alone, it would be difficult to achieve results.
Shanhaiguan is too strong.
It's simply despairing.
But if you unite with the Slavs, it will be very different.
If the Chu State fights on two fronts, there will be problems with logistics and morale.
Some people are excited, while others are very calm. Wu Niangao sat on the throne with a sneer in his eyes.
Is this Haida's strategy?
On the one hand, they paraded in Dadu to show off their muscles.
On the one hand, let the Slavs come forward to lure me to attack Chu.
A good move can divert disaster to the east.
Very good idea.
but.
"Your Majesty, I am opposed to jointly sending troops with the Slavs." Wang Youxiao, the censor of Zuodu, stood up and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the Han and the Mongolian Yuan are at odds with each other."
"The Mongols are also barbarians. The Slavs are also barbarians."
"The dispute between Han and Chu is our own internal matter. We must not unite with the barbarians to attack Chu."
"Besides, the Slavs are ambitious. When they talk about dividing the land equally, I think they are just talking nonsense."
Gongsun Sang immediately stood up, raised his hands to Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with half of Master Wang's words."
"The Slavs cannot be trusted. But their army is strong. If they or the Han army attack the Great Wall first, Chu's defense line will collapse."
"Both the Han army and the Slavs can enter the Great Wall. When the time comes, we will defeat Chu first, and then fight among ourselves to determine the winner. The winner will get the land."
"As for leading the barbarians to attack Chu, it is a temporary measure. Sometimes, there is nothing we can do to win."
Wang Youxiao was almost furious when he heard this and glared at Gongsun Sang, this unprincipled guy.
He was about to argue.
Count Will spoke again. After hearing this, the translator and official looked strange. He bowed to Wu Nian and said, "Your Majesty. The Slavs heard that your Majesty has two princesses. Count Will wants to propose marriage for their prince."
"The two countries formed a blood alliance."
"That way we can trust each other."
