Chapter 412 Separate the city for peace
The two countries are at war. It's easy to win if they win. If they lose, Daqian will face the disaster of national subjugation and lose everything he has.
In the past year, Dayu has destroyed three countries in a row, which is enough to show the strength of his troops. Maybe, Daqian will follow in the footsteps of the Three Kingdoms.
The five cities are only half of the county, and only half of the county's territory can be dedicated to quell this crisis.
He could feel that he would not live for more than a year.
In the remaining time, he just wanted to live peacefully, not to fight, nor to bear the reputation of a king who had subjugated his country.
Thinking about it, he already had an idea in his mind.
In the court hall, there was already a quarrel.
"Messenger Dayu, two years ago, our two countries signed an agreement to non-aggression. Why did the Dayu Emperor suddenly change his mind and turn against us?"
Lin Xiaofan asked coldly.
The Great Jade Messenger smiled and said:
"The past is different from the past. Back then, my strength in Dayu was weak, so naturally I didn't want to start a war. Now Dayu's national power is strong and it has destroyed three countries in a row. If it weren't for the sake of the previous agreement, I would have sent troops to Dagan."
"Back then, when you, Dayu, were weak, we, Dagan, did not take the opportunity to attack. Now that you, Dayu, have become stronger, you want me, Dagan, to sacrifice the city, otherwise we will send troops to conquer. What's the point of this?"
Lin Xiaofan then asked.
If Emperor Da Qian had not been weak back then, Da Yudu might have ceased to exist.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Lin Xiaofan, don't use the past as an excuse."
Dayu Messenger said without blushing or heartbeat.
No matter what, they Dayu is now stronger than Daqian.
In this troubled world, whoever has the biggest fist is the right one.
"Your Majesty, the Great Jade Kingdom is so ambitious. I suggest that we fight to the death!"
Lin Xiaofan said firmly.
Because he knew that if these five cities were dedicated, Dayu would still send troops to Daqian.
And this time, he was determined not to give in, at least to make it unjust for Dayu to send troops.
"Lin Xiaofan, you are confused! Qingzhou has just experienced two wars, and its military strength is not as good as before. Xiatian has just calmed down, and it is still unstable. If there is another war at this time, what should we do if we fail?"
Chen Menghuai asked loudly.
"Haha, don't you understand Dayu's determination? Today we have cut off five cities, and tomorrow Dayu's soldiers and horses will still be on the border to attack us. If we fight to the death, Dayu may not be determined to fight us to the end. ."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"I didn't see Da Yu's determination. I only saw that you wanted to harm me, Da Gan! If we lose this battle, Da Gan will face the disaster of national subjugation. Can you afford it?"
Zhang Zinan said.
"There are 40,000 troops in Canghai County, 30,000 troops in the east, and 10,000 iron guards in the capital. Qingzhou Army and Yantian Army can all support him. Dayu just annexed the Three Kingdoms, his soldiers are exhausted, and the country is in turmoil at any time. How can we lose?" reason?"
"If we cut five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, until Dayu calms down the civil strife and rectifies the army, I, Da Gan, will be defeated."
"We keep saying that if we lose this battle, how about we make a bet? If Dayu attacks me within three years, Zhang Zinan, you, Zhang Zinan, will die to apologize. If Dayu attacks and defeats me, how about I die to apologize?"
Lin Xiaofan's tone was mixed with anger.
The court fell into silence. Zhang Zinan knew that Dayu would call sooner or later, so naturally he did not dare to accept the bet.
And Lin Xiaofan's words were irrefutable for them.
"Lin Xiaofan, Prime Minister Zhang is an important official of the imperial court, how can you speak like this?"
After a long time, a minister of the Zhang family asked.
"Haha, as an important minister of the imperial court, has Zhang Zinan made any contributions in the ten years he has been the prime minister?"
Lin Xiaofan asked back.
"Prime Minister Zhang has fulfilled his duties during his reign and never slackened off. Isn't that more credit than you?"
Minister Zhang family spoke, somewhat lacking in confidence.
"Stop, stop, stop, what's the fuss? Since the Great Jade Emperor wants five cities, just give them to him. But Dayu's envoy, please bring a message to the Great Emperor. We will sign another agreement. From now on, the two countries will mutually Make good friends, no war."
Emperor Daqian interrupted everyone and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. To be honest, the Jade Emperor also has this intention. From now on, there will be no war between the two countries."
The messenger of Dayu quickly thanked him, his face full of joy.
What the Jade Emperor told him was that he could use any means as long as he could capture five cities.
As for the so-called agreement, just sign it.
Hearing this, Emperor Daqian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly congratulating himself on his cleverness. Just use five cities to eliminate potential enemies.
Kang Hong on the side wanted to say something else, but in the end he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Lin Xiaofan silently returned to his original position without saying a word.
He had already expected this result. He had never had hope for Emperor Daqian.
As for Jian Chen, Zhao Ziyu and others, they didn't say a word during the whole process. Because they understand that even if they say it, it is meaningless.
As for sending people to Daliang and Dashang to lobby, Emperor Daqian did not mention it again.
After all, in his opinion, Dayu's crisis has been resolved.
After retiring from the court, the ministers left in twos and threes. Lin Xiaofan did not follow Zhao Ziyu back to the Zhao family, but went straight to the Chen family.
The Chen family is located in the west of the city. There are almost no people on the whole street. There are two guards standing on the jade steps.
"Who is coming?"
The guard at the door of Chen's house asked.
"Lin Xiaofan, the supervisor of the Young Mansion, was invited by Chen Menghuai to come for a visit."
Lin Xiaofan answered.
When the two guards heard this, they looked at each other and then said:
"Let's go report it."
Not long after, Chen Hun walked over under the leadership of the guards. He glanced at Lin Xiaofan with suspicion, obviously not believing that the other party dared to come alone.
"come in."
Chen Hun said. He didn't have a good look towards Lin Xiaofan.
Stepping into Chen's house, it was completely different from the desolation outside. Inside, it was a paradise scene.
Lin Xiaofan kept walking inside, surrounded by many guards, who followed him step by step until he entered a large hall.
Chen Menghuai sat at the jade table, holding a piece of jade in his hand and looking around.
Lin Xiaofan was not polite and sat directly opposite him.
"Lin Xiaofan, I didn't expect you to actually come. It seems that Chen Xue is very important to you. Come, have a sip of tea."
Chen Menghuai acted like he had just reacted and went to pour Lin Xiaofan a cup of tea.
The air was filled with the fragrance of tea, but Lin Xiaofan smelled a bit of drug.
Bailimi is almost colorless and odorless, and its function is to make people confused and obedient.
The little witch had given him many drugs before to test his resistance to toxicity, including this one.
"Come and taste the tea I grew myself."
Chen Menghuai urged with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the dignified head of the Chen family would use such despicable means.
