A few days later, the capital of Jin Kingdom, Jin Palace.
Due to the strong military intelligence of the Qin army, the Snow Clan used falcons to deliver news, so Xiao Yuan received the battle report a few days earlier than King Jin.
At this moment, King Jin was holding the battle report silk book, and his hands were trembling slightly.
"The Qin army is disgusting! I am a hundred thousand men of the state of Jin..."
He said with grief: "Li Ji, Li Ji, why can't you hold on for a few more days..."
The ministers below looked around one after another, and the Prime Minister of Jin stood up, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, General Li Ji..."
The King of Jin looked at him, pinched the silk book tightly and said: "The King of Qin used deception and superficially changed the commander to lure our army to go deep. All of my 100,000 soldiers died on the battlefield!"
ah! ? Hearing this, the Jin Dynasty court immediately exploded, and many people panicked.
For a moment, the scene was buzzing with chaos. King Jin, who was already furious, could no longer bear it when he saw this!
With a "bang" sound, he slapped the silk book on the king's case in front of him.
The hall was silent for a moment.
Immediately, the King of Jin stood up, pointed directly and shouted: "Send the order to Guan Jie! Tell him to guard Puyang! I will send more troops to the front immediately! I will raise an army of 300,000 to attack Qin!"
"Prime Minister! You are responsible for the general dispatch of domestic grain, grass and military equipment!"
"Ah?" Prime Minister Jin was startled and said subconsciously: "But, your lord, General Ren Ying is still fighting Xue Wu in Guangling, and if Guan Jie is the commander, I am afraid that he will not be Su Yi's opponent. "
He was right, Guan Jie was not a handsome man. When the King of Jin heard this, he said without hesitation: "Then transfer Ren Ying back!"
"But...but our country is fighting on two fronts. If we use all our domestic troops to deal with the Qin army, then if the Liang Kingdom sends more troops to Guangling, the situation will be critical." Jin Xiang stammered.
As soon as he finished speaking, another minister stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said makes sense. This matter needs to be considered carefully."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the 300,000 troops, plus the 100,000 from Guangling, are already the might of the country. Please think again, Your Majesty..."
"Shut up!" King Jin looked around, stared, and said sternly:
"The King of Qin, Xiao Yuan, is a treacherous man! He uses his small power to weaken Qin, but he repeatedly attacks our country, the Jin Dynasty! I really think that this king is easy to bully! This is unbearable!"
As he spoke, he also pointed to one of the ministers: "Li Heng! I order you to go to Liang Kingdom immediately and meet the King of Liang! You tell him that I don't want Guangling anymore! Recognize Guangling as the land of Liang Kingdom! All you need is He ordered Xue Wu to cease fighting!"
With the temper of the King of Jin, it is not surprising that he made this decision. To be honest, if Guangling continues to be entangled, it will be very detrimental to the Jin State. Instead of doing this, it is better for a strong man to cut off his wrist, give up directly, and concentrate on dealing with the Qin State. .
There is nothing wrong with this decision. Li Heng is an official in charge of diplomacy in Jin State. After hearing this, he quickly bowed his hands and said cautiously: "I accept the order."
"Go quickly!" King Jin's anger did not diminish at all.
He made a decision directly. After Li Heng accepted the order, he began to rush to the Liang Kingdom with the envoy's guard of honor.
But at this time, because Xiao Yuan had taken precautions, Qin official Jiang Yi had arrived in Liangdu first.
On this day, in the Liang Kingdom's court meeting hall, all the ministers went to the court to discuss affairs. The King of Liang was sitting on the throne directly above and said straight to the point:
"In the battle between Qin and Jin in Yiyang, definite news has been returned. The King of Qin stood firm and appointed Su Yi as commander. He beheaded 100,000 Jin troops. His general Li Ji also died in Daliang Mountain. This news is very important to the Jin State. I’m afraid it’s hard to accept.”
"Your Majesty." Cai Yan stood up, bowed his hands and saluted: "Before, all the countries looked down on the Qin people. Now, after this battle, it is enough to see how brave the Qin army is. And after Su Yi beheaded 100,000 Jin troops, the King of Jin still looked down upon him. Before any action was taken, the King of Qin took the lead in sending an envoy to Daliang. In the opinion of the humble minister, this envoy must come to talk about the war between Jin and Liang. I wonder what the king's plan is?"
"On this matter, we should first listen to what the envoy of Qin has to say." After King Liang finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense and directly raised his voice: "Envoy of the envoy, please enter the palace."
"No." The attendant responded first, and then shouted loudly: "Xuan, the envoy of Qin has entered the palace."
Jiang Yi was now in Liang Palace. As the summons came one after another, he adjusted his mentality and then walked up the steps to the court meeting hall.
After entering, he naturally bowed to King Liang first, bowed his hands, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Qin's envoy Jiang Yi has met His Highness King Liang."
Although Jiang Yi usually likes to flatter Xiao Yuan in front of Xiao Yuan, and often smiles shyly, lowers his body and hunches his shoulders, it seems like nothing, but when he is on a mission to another country, it is naturally different.
King Liang also raised his hand slightly: "The envoy is exempt from courtesy. I wonder why you came here this time?"
He asked directly, but Jiang Yi did not hesitate to say straight to the point: "His Royal Highness the King of Liang, the current war situation in the Jin Kingdom must be clear to your Highness. After Li Ji's defeat in Yiyang, the Jin army suffered a loss of one hundred thousand. This battle is inevitable." This shocked the Kingdom of Jin, and then the King of Jin will most likely send envoys to lobby His Highness in an attempt to stop the Guangling war and avoid falling into a two-front war again. Therefore, my king is prepared for a rainy day and has specially ordered me to come to talk about this matter. I hope Liang Liang will Your Highness, don’t be fooled by the small gains in front of you, think about the overall situation.”
He told the truth frankly, which surprised King Liang. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "Based on what the envoy said, Brother Qin, is he worried about my sudden withdrawal of troops?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi rolled her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How should I talk about this matter? How about this? I dare you to ask His Highness some questions?"
"Envoy please speak." King Liang stretched out his hand.
Jiang Yi said: "If the Jin State sends an envoy saying that it is willing to recognize Guangling as the territory of the Liang State and wants to re-establish friendship with the Liang State, then what will your highness do?"
"This..." King Liang paused and did not give a direct answer.
Jiang Yi added: "Of course, His Highness may consider agreeing to the request of the Jin envoy, but what I want to say is that if this is the case, I am afraid that the Qin State will also stop the war with the Jin State and make peace. After that, Your Highness thinks , Can the King of Jin tolerate Guangling? No, he will definitely not. Once the war stops and Jin takes a breath, he will definitely want Guangling again, there is no doubt about it!"
Hearing this, King Liang couldn't help but gleam in his eyes.
Jiang Yi continued: "The Jin Kingdom has been strong and domineering for several generations, but now, these will no longer exist, but the premise is that the Qin and Liang Kingdoms must work together to defeat the powerful Jin!"
"And Your Highness, instead of getting this Guangling now and being in fear all day long, why not completely destroy the Jin Kingdom! Divide the land between you and my king!"
