The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 196 The New Kingdom of Jin ([-])
"Foreign minister, Great Jin General Chen Qian (Huangmen servant Zhang Hua), pays homage to His Majesty Wu."

"The two envoys are not polite. It's been a hard journey, right?"

"Fortunately, thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, let the foreign minister wait in the post to rest for half a month."

Yes, Sima Yan replaced Wei at the end of July.In less than ten days, envoys were sent to Soochow and Shuhan.Due to the distance, Chen Qian and his party arrived at Jianye first.But now it's late August, and Sun Hao only accepted him.

There is no other way, the former Soochow and Cao Wei fought intermittently for more than 40 years, and basically had no official contacts.The two sides did not communicate with each other and did not recognize each other.How to greet the emperor of Soochow as the envoy of Jin who replaced Cao Wei is a headache, not to mention that there are still many details that need to be tested and compromised by both parties.

"Hehehe, the envoy has stayed in Jianye for half a month, how do you feel about my scenery in Jiangbiao?"

Is this to test our literary level?Chen Qian smiled slightly and waved to Zhang Hua.And Zhang Hua naturally opened his mouth and came: "Looking at the Yangtze River, I saw long whales swallowing sails, salamanders spewing waves. Leaping dragons and snakes, sharks and pipas. As for Stone City, it is really the foundation of the overlord and the foundation of the founding of the country. Guo Zhouza, the corner of a heavy city. There are [-] gates, waterways and lands. Therefore, the scriptures began to be used for thousands of sacrifices. The constitutional purple palace is built with camp rooms, and the vast courtyard is long. The cold and heat are separated by deep space, and the rainbow is brought back to Cloud Pavilion. So it’s also bright and bright for thousands of miles.”

"Papapa~~~" After applauding heartily, Sun Hao said with a smile: "The envoy is really good at writing. Then what is the scene in Luoyang?"

"Luoyang is the center of the world. The residence of Yongyu, the city of eight capitals. Learn from Maoci from Tao Tang, Chabei Palace from Xia Yu... build the Guangdian of Wenchang, the grand regulations of the extremely large buildings. If you are respectful Cui Wei rises from the mountain, and hangs down like a mysterious cloud."

"Hmph! Then I will ask the envoy again, where is Lord Wei after the Wei and Jin Dynasties?"

"Sacrifice has a discipline, Tianlu has an end. Pass on the Zen Zuo, and thank Wanbang. The emperor's grace is generous, and the emperor's virtue is perfect. Let the world, the ministers be fair."

Watching Zhang Hua praise Luoyang gracefully, and stand on the moral high ground to clear the ground for the Sima family's usurpation.Sun Hao only felt envious for a while: the talents in the Northland are really extraordinary.

Of course, after all, he has been the emperor for more than a year at this time, no matter how much he appreciates Zhang Hua at this time, he will not show it—otherwise the fragile hearts of the courtiers in Soochow will not be able to bear it: "After the gossip, say Let's get down to business. What does Emperor Jin want to tell me?"

"My emperor expresses his sincere gratitude to His Majesty Wu. In the past, Wei and Wu fought for many years, resulting in the loss of lives. Both sides suffered great losses. Therefore, after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, my emperor proposed that the two countries form an alliance and stop the war."

"Hehehe, I'm surprised. My great Wu has Xishu as an ally, and the southeast is the sea. The only enemy is your Jin State. As for your Jin State, let's not talk about Xishu, it is Goguryeo in the east. , Xianbei, the Xiongnu in the north, and the Qiangdi in the west. You are all busy. In a word, your Jin country is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and even if our Great Wu does not form an alliance with you, we will only be attacked on one side. Why should I fight with you? Are you forming an alliance? Just sit and watch as you calm down the Quartet before attacking me?"

It can be said that Sun Hao's words are indeed the key to the state of Jin.

Whether Cao Wei or Sima Jin.There is no doubt that its comprehensive national strength is the strongest in East Asia in the current world, and the two countries of Han and Wu cannot match it together.But the problem with Jin is that its territory is vast, and it is all in the north.In addition to the Han and Wu countries in the south, because the climate of the Little Glacier began to play a role, the threats and harassment from the ethnic minorities in the north were also increasing.In recent years, since the time of Cao Mao, Wei and Jin have invested more and more in the north, which seriously affected the national power of Jin.

Moreover, on the basis of history, the Jin State in the Wei-Jin Chan Dynasty was a combination of Wei and Shu, and its strength was completely different from that of Soochow.The current state of Jin only has the basic territory of Cao Wei, and its strength has been severely weakened due to the loss of more than 20 young and strong at one time.He desperately needs time to stabilize and recover.

In this era, Soochow is still the second most powerful country in East Asia.Therefore, after Sima Yan replaced Wei, Sima Fu's first suggestion was: Immediately send high-level officials as envoys to form an alliance with Soochow.Stabilize the Eastern Front first.Then seize the time to appease the aristocratic families in the country, and concentrate on cleaning up the Xianbei and Xiqiang in the north who are about to move.Let's talk about other things later.

But your Sima family saw the form clearly, and Sun Hao also saw the form clearly.So what Sun Hao meant was: Your strategic environment is much worse than mine, and you want to form an alliance with me?OK?What benefit?

Speaking of this level, Zhang Hua is not able to accept it.So Chen Qian spoke again: "Your Majesty, Jin and Wu form an alliance, and we can discuss Xishu together."

"Hahahaha~~~ Duke Xiuyuan, although I am young, I am not stupid. Western Shu is full of dangers. If it weren't for the feud between the ruler and ministers of Western Shu two years ago, you wouldn't even have the chance to enter Zitong. Now Xishu Shu Guan Zifeng is in power, and its national strength is recovering rapidly. At this time, even if our two countries attack Shu together, you will not even be able to enter Hanzhong. Even if our country takes Badong, what can we do?"

I bother!As far as you, the five war scum from Soochow, can you take down Badong?But of course Chen Qian would not tell the truth at this time: "Your Majesty, this is the second point that the foreign minister wants to say. Is a person like Guan Zifeng a mediocre person who is willing to stay dormant in Western Shu for a lifetime?"

"Well, I admit that you are right. But why didn't he attack you first?"

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, this is the third point I want to say. It has been 45 years since Liu Bei stole the emperor's title in Xishu. Among them, Ge thief took the initiative to commit northern crimes five times, and Jiang thief took the initiative to commit northern crimes nine times, but none It was successful. Then why does Guan Zifeng think that he can beat Ge Bandit and Jiang Bandit? How could he have the guts to risk the dissatisfaction of the entire Western Shu army and civilians, and once again invade Yongliang in the Great Jin Dynasty?"

Looking at the silent Sun Hao, Chen Qian bowed again: "Your Majesty, Guan Zifeng's grandfather is Guan Yu."

Hey, student Sun Hao, you have to figure it out, Guan Yi, a young man, doesn’t have the political burden of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei to fight against usurpers——Cao Wei doesn’t even exist anymore.Now his strategic direction is very free.As a young powerful minister, he had to make some military exploits to stabilize his position after he took the position.So, who to start with?us?They fought more than a dozen times without getting an inch!Why can't people play tricks on you Soochow?He has a grudge against your Soochow for killing your ancestors!

"Well, then, if I, Great Wu, form an alliance with Jin, how will Jin plan to treat us?"

Hearing Sun Hao finally said such words, Chen Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers would like to express my respects on behalf of my emperor. If Jin and Wu form an alliance, the two countries will be brotherly states. Except for the two sides to stop fighting and cease fighting At the same time, form a military alliance against Western Shu. Attack and defend together, and carve up Western Shu together. If Shu can be finally destroyed, then our Great Jin will only have three counties of Hanzhong, Yinping, and Wudu. The remaining nineteen counties will all belong to the State of Wu .From then on, the two countries will always be allies and will not invade each other."

"Hahahaha~~ Lord Xiuyuan. In the past, Fei Wenwei from Western Shu was sent to my Great Wu. His Majesty the Great Emperor asked Fei Wenwei, what should we do if the two countries of Wu and Shu succeed in destroying Wei? Fei Wenwei said, There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people. When the time comes, each will use his intelligence to kill him again. So, Lord Xiu Yuan, I will not talk about unnecessary words. The Jin and Wu alliances mean to cease the war for the time being. I agree. Don't talk about other things."

"That's it, the foreign minister will no longer discuss it. In addition, the foreign minister has the courage to say a word to the two ministers at the court meeting of your country today. Please allow your majesty."

"Huh? You want to tell Shi Ji and Zhong Si (Zhuge Liang, the son of Zhuge Dan), now that the Wei and Jin Dynasties have given amnesty to the world, can the two of them go back?"

"Hey, Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers admire you. What Your Majesty said just now is what the ministers wanted to say. Shi Ji and Zhong Si, Your Majesty deeply misses you two. If Emperor Wu is kind, please return home as soon as possible." .”

Zhuge Liang is the youngest son of Zhuge Dan. When Zhuge Dan launched the Shouchun Three Rebellions, he sent Zhuge Liang to Soochow as a hostage.As a result, the hostage became the only surviving blood relative of Zhuge Dan.Now he is serving as the right general in Soochow.

In the early years when Zhuge Dan and Sima Zhao were good friends, Sima Yan and Zhuge Liang were also children.Therefore, after Sima Yan ascended the throne, his invitation to Zhuge Liang was sincere.

And what about Zhonghui?Sima Yan didn't even know how dangerous a person like Zhong Hui was - he was the ultimate product that no traveler dared to accept!
"Hahahahaha~~~ Shi Ji and Zhong Si are my humerus ministers, and I don't want to part with them. But as a human being, I always pay attention to the freedom of coming and going. So as long as Shi Ji and Zhong Si go north, I will not make things difficult."

"Thank you for your generosity. Zhong Hui has always believed that His Majesty is the Lord of England since he was in Wucheng County. Zhong Hui has no intention of returning to the north."

"Your Majesty, I have a vengeance with the Sima family to kill my father, and I will never return to the north!"

Hey, let me just say it.Needless to say, a dutiful son like Zhuge Liang.What a smart person Zhonghui is.Now he is serving as Minister of the Eastern Wu, and he is the most trusted person of Lord Wu, why should he go back?Go back and fight with Jia Chong, Yang Jun or something?

"Hehehe, good. The two envoys go down to rest first. If you want to leave our country, please let me know in advance. I will also prepare some gifts for Jinhuang."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the foreign minister will leave."

However, before Chen Qian and Zhang Hua walked out of the hall, they heard a eunuch's shrill voice: "Xuan, the envoy of the Shu Dynasty is going to the hall~~"

　Special Note: The passage Zhang Hua said in this chapter is quoted from Zuo Si's "Sandu Fu".The characteristics of the literature of the Jin Dynasty are that the parallel prose is dominant and the rhetoric is beautiful and gorgeous.When I was in middle school, I read it as a bedtime book.
