Prince Liang is young and ambitious.
He did not make hasty decisions between the envoys of Qin and Jin. His first speeches in the palace ended in prevarication.
This is a very scheming king.
After the Jin envoy left, there was no doubt that many ministers from the Liang Kingdom began to come out one after another. Like the previous time, they all suggested that the Liang King should just take Guangling and watch the battle between Qin and Jin.
King Liang didn't pay much attention to their remarks, but looked at Cai Yan again.
It is not difficult to see from this the importance of Cai Yan, an adviser, to him.
Seeing his gaze, the latter first stepped forward to salute, then pondered for a moment and said: "Given the current situation, if the king agrees to the Jin envoy's request, the first thing we must consider is what will happen to the King of Qin."
King Liang motioned for him to continue.
Cai Yan said: "The King of Qin is not a fool. Although the Qin army is brave and good at fighting, if Qin and Jin both use the strength of the whole country, then the King of Qin will definitely not fight again, because in the eyes of the King of Qin, it is not worth it! Unless, can Destroy the Jin Kingdom!"
"To destroy Jin, Liang must join the war at the same time. This is why King Qin sent envoys here."
"This shows that King Qin has the intention to destroy Jin."
"If your Majesty only wants Guangling, then you can withdraw your troops."
"But in this case, as the envoy of Qin said, Jin will inevitably come back to life, and with its strong national power, it will soon be able to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops and continue to be among the great powers."
After Cai Yan finished speaking, King Liang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said quietly: "I understand what Mr. Cai said. Please listen to the last words of the envoy of Qin."
After speaking, he also raised his head slightly to signal to the attendant.
The attendants understood and immediately began to sing loudly, calling Jiang Yi into the palace again.
Not long after, Jiang Yi came quickly. After saluting, he said, "Presumably, His Highness has met with the Jin envoy before."
"That's right, the Jin envoy just retreated." King Liang didn't hide it either.
"In that case, may I ask Your Highness what your plans are?" Jiang Yi asked directly.
"I am hesitating. Therefore, I have specially summoned an envoy to come and clarify my doubts. I don't know if it is possible." King Liang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's mind was spinning. It wasn't until a while later that he smiled slightly and said:
"Before that, I'm brave enough to ask if I can comment on His Highness."
"Oh?" King Liang raised his eyebrows. This was a strange thing. He couldn't help but become interested. He stretched out his hand slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if the envoy says so."
Jiang Yi said: "In my opinion, His Highness Prince Liang is by no means a mediocre ruler and a cowardly king. He is a man of great talent and great strategy. And my king, the most respected monarch in the Nine Kingdoms, is also Your Highness."
"Oh? Brother Qin Wang, are you really like this?" Anyone would be happy to be praised, and Prince Liang was no exception.
"Yes." Jiang Yi said: "Therefore, my king just ordered me to come here. Before leaving, I gave you more instructions: When you meet King Liang, there is no need to say anything else. Just one point, King Liang will make his own decision."
"Oh? What is the reason for what Brother Qin Wang said?" King Liang couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yi said: "This is His Highness's ambition."
"What is my king's ambition?"
"Yes, my king is convinced that His Highness is not a short-sighted person. He has great talents and great strategies, and he will not stop at Guangling."
"It's just Guangling, what's the point? His Highness's ambition is to look at the world. Now, a great opportunity is in front of us. If Qin and Liang form an alliance, there is no need for these two young, talented and ambitious monarchs to conquer the world!"
"As for the Liang State, its best ally is undoubtedly the Qin State!"
"Because the Qin army and the Liang army are both brave and good at fighting. They are the masters of tigers and wolves!"
"And Your Highness, if you miss this opportunity, it will not be that easy to form an alliance with our king in the future."
Jiang Yi said a lot in one breath, and advocated the aspirations of King Liang, telling him that Guangling was nothing, and that his long-term vision was to ally with Qin and dominate the world.
After hearing this, the latter's eyes also flashed.
Seeing that King Liang wanted to agree to the envoy of Qin, a minister hurriedly stood up, bowed his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, as long as you get Guangling, you can't plan to attack Jin again..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom has been strong for a long time, how can we destroy it..."
"Your Majesty, Jin is a big country. If the war continues, Liang will definitely suffer from this disaster..."
"Your Majesty, think twice..."
Many ministers stood up and then knelt down.
When King Liang saw this, he was about to say something, but Jiang Yi suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed loudly, as if on purpose. In this hall, all the Liangguo officials couldn't help but stop their voices and looked at him.
King Liang also frowned slightly and said, "Why is the envoy laughing?"
"Just now, I really couldn't hold it back, and I hope your highness will forgive me."
Jiang Yi first apologized and then said:
"I'm thinking that when a hunter in the mountains sees a giant bear injured, he knows how to take advantage of this opportunity and work together to kill it. Otherwise, he will miss it and try again in the future. There will be no chance."
"But now, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in your country are not as knowledgeable as the villagers in the mountains."
As soon as he said these words, there was no doubt that the ministers of Liang Kingdom looked at each other angrily, and some people immediately pointed their fingers and said:
"Envoy Qin is really rude!"
"You are uttering arrogant words! If you were not representing the King of Qin, I would have beaten you with a stick!"
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and everyone was blaming Jiang Yi, but the latter remained calm and stood in the middle of the hall without any panic.
"Okay!" King Liang frowned and shouted. After the palace became quiet, he also looked at Jiang Yi with some displeasure.
Seeing this, the latter immediately bowed down again and said:
"Your Highness, I am not humiliating the officials of the Liang Kingdom, but I want to say that there is nothing to be afraid of by forcing the Jin Dynasty. We, the Qin Kingdom, with its desolate land and bitter cold soldiers, dare to compete with the big countries, so why don't the Liang Kingdom dare? Are you really afraid of being promoted to such an extent?"
"Are the envoys irritating this king?" King Liang said coldly.
"How dare I?" Jiang Yi said: "As long as Qin and Liang are in alliance, the strong Jin will be destroyed! One big country will be eliminated from the world, and after gaining its land, Qin and Liang will also rise!"
"In the struggle for hegemony in the world, having a reliable ally who dares to fight is better than anything else!"
After he finished speaking, King Liang continued to stare at him coldly. After a moment, he said quietly:
"Even if the envoy is deliberately irritating this king, your words speak to my heart! Therefore, I am willing to ally with Brother Qin Wang!"
ah! ? Hearing this, Jiang Yi was visibly startled at first, and then beamed with joy. She quickly bowed her hands and bowed her waist to the end: "Your Highness is indeed a wise king——"
At this time, the Minister of Liang State was a little panicked, but when people were about to say something, King Liang looked around and shouted coldly:
"This matter! This is not a sudden act by this king, but after careful consideration! No need for you to say anything more! Regarding the King of Qin's intention to destroy Jin, the Liang Kingdom will definitely join the war!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Cai Yan.
"I agree to continue to use troops against Jin." Cai Yan said directly.
"Okay!" King Liang was immediately overjoyed and stood up:
"On behalf of my king, tell the Jin envoy that Guangling was captured by our Liang army soldiers in a bloody battle! It does not need to be recognized by the Jin state. It is now the territory of our Liang state!"
This is a young monarch, and his ambition is by no means limited to Guangling. There is no surprise in making this decision.
