After capturing Shangdang, it stands to reason that Xu Rong should lead the troops to station and only need to send back the battle report.
But he rushed back to the main camp without stopping and reported to Xiao Yuan immediately.
It is not difficult to see from this that he is very happy with his success.
The place for discussion.
He walked in a hurry, and as soon as he came in, he clasped his fists and said excitedly: "Your Majesty! After five days of bloody fighting, the general has captured Shangdang!"
"Oh!?" Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was also shocked: "Very good! In this battle, Shangdang was defeated first. The loss of this city will have a certain impact on the Liang army's defense line and also boost the morale of our army. ! The general should take the lead!"
Xu Rong was overjoyed and immediately said: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
"Well, the wars are still going on everywhere. It's not convenient for you to stay here in the camp. You'd better go back quickly, lead your troops, and choose the opportunity to respond to Bakou." Xiao Yuan said again.
"Yes!" Xu Rong answered simply.
This person went back and forth just to get personal praise from the king so that the king would remember his merits.
After he left, Jia You, who was standing below Xiao Yuan, also secretly shook his head.
Not long after, Lin Chu entered, clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence report, Xue Wu has ordered Zhao Fu as a general to intercept General Nie's troops."
"how many people?"
"About 50,000 yuan. We didn't bring any luggage, so we traveled north very lightly." Lin Chu returned.
"It seems that Xue Wu is preparing to continue to defend the Youzhou area." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Immediately send an order to Nie Xing to move to Youzhou and coordinate with my main force."
At this time, it was necessary to rely on the strength of military intelligence. Liang Jun went to stop him, but Nie Xing received the king's order early and moved to fight elsewhere. In this way, he was always leading Liang Jun's nose.
"No!" Lin Chu responded first, and then said: "In addition, I received news that King Liang has sent an envoy and will arrive at the camp soon."
"This is a troublesome thing." Xiao Yuan said.
Lin Chu resigned and went down to arrange his affairs. Jia You stood up and said: "Your Majesty, King Liang is sending an envoy at this time. There is no doubt that he is here for a truce. No matter what he says, your Majesty must not Agree, otherwise Liang Guo will have a chance to breathe."
"That's right." Shangguan Wenruo received: "This will definitely be King Liang's delaying strategy, intended to delay time and place his hope on Wu Chu."
Even before Liangshi arrived, his purpose was clearly analyzed here.
Xiao Yuan said: "Then on the grounds that he is busy with military affairs and has no time to spare, let him wait for a few days and let him retreat."
"That's very good." The two said in unison.
Sure enough, within two days, Liangshi arrived.
At that time, the two countries were at war. No matter how the fighting went, the exchange of envoys was normal.
Out of courtesy, Xiao Yuan also asked Jia You to receive him.
In a certain camp, two people sat across from each other, each with a case in front of them. Looking at the food and wine on the table, Liang Shi couldn't help but raised his hands and asked, "Mr. Jia, I don't know when Mr. Qin will be here." Only then are you willing to see me."
"Huh? What are you talking about? It's just that my king has been busy with military affairs for the past two days and really can't spare the time. When he is done with this period of work, he will naturally receive him in person." Jia You said.
"This... okay..." After hearing what he said, Liangshi could only respond helplessly.
Next, Jia You accompanied him every day. The Qin State also followed the etiquette in place, but he never saw the King of Qin. Who should he talk to about this important military matter?
After three or five days, Liang Shi became anxious. He asked Jia You several times, but the results he got were almost the same.
At this time, he seemed to see something, and immediately said: "Well, since the King of Qin is so busy, I'll just keep waiting."
As he said that, he sneered again and pointedly said: "I didn't expect that the king of this country would not even dare to see a small envoy. It's really ridiculous."
When Jia You heard this, he frowned secretly.
In the afternoon of the same day, he also found Xiao Yuan, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this Liangshi is refusing to leave. Looking at his posture, I'm afraid he has to see your Majesty."
"It's really troublesome!" Xiao Yuan said: "You neglected him so much, and he didn't even leave in anger?"
"It's true that the words are meant to satirize the king." Jia You said.
Xiao Yuan laughed angrily, and in desperation, he could only say: "Okay, in this case, we can't let him stay here, let's meet him."
After hearing this, Jia You thought for a while and said: "If the king sees the Liang envoy, he should deliberately make things difficult and avoid the matter with conditions that are unacceptable to the Liang Kingdom."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded.
The next day, on the temporary campus.
Jia You led Liang Envoy here and said as he walked: "I said that my king is busy with military affairs, and many of you don't believe it. Now you see, this is still a little time taken out of the busy schedule in the military camp. What do you have to do? Make it clear immediately."
"I understand, I understand." Liangshi nodded and began to observe the surrounding environment.
On the school grounds, there are countless officers and soldiers of the Qin army, who are practicing in formation. The overwhelming black armor and red tassels, and the uniform shouts and shouts, make the military look so strong.
There were also a small number of cavalrymen galloping back and forth on the outside, passing by Liangshi from time to time.
Looking at this scene, Liang Shi secretly swallowed, calmed down, and then followed Jia You into the main tent.
Inside the tent, Xiao Yuan was behind the handsome case, looking at the bamboo slips. There was no one else inside. After Liang Envoy came in, he quickly stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "The envoy has met His Highness the King of Qin."
"Ah, the envoy is not polite. I have been busy with military affairs recently, so please don't mind me if I am neglectful." Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slips and said a few words with a smile.
"Your Majesty's words are serious." Liangshi stood up and said straight to the point: "I'm here to discuss the truce between Qin and Liang."
Xiao Yuan said nothing.
Liangshi continued: "Your Highness respects the emperor's order and recovers the lost territory for the empire. There is nothing wrong with this. From then on, my king also expressed his willingness to obey the royal order and pay tribute every year."
What does this passage indicate? Doesn't it indicate that King Qin is flying the imperial flag? Now that the Liang Kingdom is willing to obey the royal family, what reason do you have to attack Liang?
But these words are undoubtedly high-sounding. There is no doubt that as long as Xiao Yuan retreats and the situation in Liang Kingdom is reversed, the situation will turn around immediately!
This is just King Liang's verbal response and will not make any sense.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan also smiled faintly and said with a smile: "I can accept what the envoy said, but there is an additional condition. Since King Liang is willing to obey the royal family, he must declare his vassalship and bow to the northwest. From then on, the army of Liang State returned to the emperor's command."
As he said this, there was no way Liangshi could agree to it, and he became anxious on the spot: "His Royal Highness King Qin!"
