Chapter 396 What’s the point of sacrificing the queen?

"Arrogant envoy, Han is arrogant!"

"Are you really deceiving me that there is no one in the Wu Kingdom?"

"I, Jiangdong Jian'er, am not a rat. If the Han Dynasty dares to send troops here, I, Wu Ding, will tell you that you will never come back!"

Because of the words of the Han envoy Huo Yi, the officials in the Wu palace were excited. Even the Jiangdong nobles who were pro-Han could not help but come forward to speak.

And those generals who were rough men rolled up their sleeves and just missed giving Huo Yi a good beating in the main hall of King Wu's palace and having a one-on-one fight with Huo Yi.

Sun Quan was naturally happy to see such a scene.

That's right, that's it.

Let’s have hatred towards Han!

Everyone wants to kneel down to the Han Dynasty, what kind of behavior is this?

As a king, I am under a lot of pressure!

It is rare that the Wu Kingdom is now twisted into a rope, and Sun Quan has become much tougher in speaking.

"The Han Kingdom is rampant and cannot control the people of Wu Kingdom. If Liu Gongsi thinks that the people of Wu Kingdom are easy to bully, he is wrong. There have always been only Wu people who died in battle and no Wu people who surrendered. If If the Han Dynasty dares to raise an army to invade, I will personally conquer it with my own chariot."

As he spoke, Sun Quan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with some complacency: "If the Han State is desperate and dares to use troops against Wu State, then don't blame Wu State for forming an alliance with Wei State. Don't say it was unforeseen. !”

Huo Yi smiled at Sun Quan's threat.

clap~

He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the arrow. Only when the fist is hard enough can one have the right to speak. If King Wu thinks that a few words can change Isn’t it ridiculous that the ending changes my big man’s will?”

As Huo Yi finished speaking, the two deputy envoys behind him spread out the map.

The map is not small, it is one foot long and wide.

Above is a map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

But when everyone looked at it, they discovered the difference.

"Why is my country, Wu, not included in this map?"

Zhuge Jin said in surprise.

When the others heard this, they saw that in the map of the world, there was no trace of Wu State at all.

The territories of Wei and Han were also different from what they are now.

Wei got Hefei, Xuzhou, and the land north of the river.

And south of the river, all became the territory of the Han Kingdom.

"There's something wrong with this map!"

"Is it possible for the Han envoy to use this to humiliate our country of Wu?"

There was even a grumpy one who immediately pointed at Huo Yi and angrily shouted: "Han Envoy, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that you don't take Wu State seriously?"

Sun Quan was on the throne. Although he was a little far away, the one-foot-long and wide map was still quite large. He probably could still see it. Coupled with the performance of the officials in the palace, Sun Quan frowned.

"What does the Han envoy mean by this? Could it be that he is here to humiliate our kings and ministers of the Kingdom of Wu?"

Huo Yi still had an expressionless face, and just said coldly: "Since talking is useless, let's see the true meaning in the sword!"

Qiang~

Huo Yi pulled out the envoy sword from his waist, which immediately caused a commotion among the Jiangdong ministers in the palace.

Many people were eager to put a few hundred steps away from Huo Yi.

"What does the Han Dynasty mean by this? If you dare to raise a sword in the main hall, do you think that the Wu Kingdom does not dare to kill you?"

Huo Yi's expression remained unchanged.

"If you want to kill or behead me, after the foreign envoy has finished speaking, you can do whatever you want. However, if I kill you, who of you can bear the consequences?"

Huo Yi looked around at the kings and ministers of Wu and the Han envoys. Although there were only three of them, they were weak compared to the dozens of officials from Jiangdong and the hundreds of Wu palace guards.

But

Behind him, Huo Yi, stood the entire Han Dynasty, a powerful army that was invincible in the world.

Therefore, although there are few others, they are powerful, but the monarchs and ministers of Wu State, although there are many people, lack confidence.

Diplomacy cannot earn dignity or benefits. It is just a continuation of war and a continuation of national strength.

"If Wu State does not agree to the ten conditions just mentioned by the foreign envoy, then the map in the palace will be the situation of the world in a few years!"

Huo Yi's words were sonorous and powerful.

"If the Wu State can unite with the Wei State, can't I, a big man, do it? Instead of having to be on guard against a sneaky ally who is always ready to betray the alliance and stab him in the back when dealing with the Wei State, it is better to deal with it first, and then I, the big man, can fight with the Wei State Fight for the world!"

"The State of Wei may not be willing to ally with you, the State of Han!" Zhang Zhao said harshly.

"The State of Wei is unwilling to ally with me, a strong man. Does it mean that I, a strong man, have no means to deal with you?"

Huo Yi's sword pointed at Jiangxia County on the map and said: "Jiangxia has 30,000 troops stationed in Yujin. If these 30,000 troops attack the counties in Jiangdong, will your Jiangdong army be needed to deal with it?

There are tens of thousands of barbarian troops in the three counties of Jingnan, and Wudang Feijun is the elite among them. If they attack the hinterland of Yangzhou from Yuzhang County, what will happen to your country of Wu?

Zang Ba of Xuzhou is competing with the State of Wu for the land of Guangling. If our army attracts the main force of the State of Wu, can you really win the battle for Guangling County? "

Three questions in a row were like three heavy hammers, hitting the hearts of the kings and ministers of the Wu Kingdom present here without mercy.

Sun Quan opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a dryness in his throat. He wanted to swallow a mouthful of saliva, but he felt that if he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the Han envoy would see him, and he felt that Sun Quan was afraid!

Lu Xun frowned, not because he was afraid, but because his mind was already thinking of ways to deal with it.

Jiangdong's navy is invincible, but if the Han army doesn't attack it with its navy, can the state of Wu be able to stop it?

After the Han Dynasty obtained the complete Jingzhou, it sent troops from Jiangxia and Jingnan, which could completely miss the edge of the Jiangdong Navy.

If this is the case, the Wu State may not be in danger of extinction, but it will definitely be in trouble when dealing with a Han army that does not fight you head-on and only harasses you from one side.

if

Wherever the Han army passed, they burned houses and trampled crops. The original economy of Wu State was in ruins. If things went on like this, they would not say they wanted to dominate the world, but they would not even have enough food to eat.

The Han State has grasped the fate of the Wu State.

Sun Quan leaned forward, grabbed the document in front of him with all his strength, and pressed his hand on the document until it turned white. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Even so, are we, the Wu State, afraid? We can only die, so why should we be afraid?"

There was a row of generals in the palace. A sturdy general wearing military uniforms and holding a wat board stepped forward. His voice was loud and his words were sonorous, like a walking drum.

"Don't worry, my king. If the Han army dares to come, with Xu Sheng here, the Wu army will line the country! You and the Han soldiers can't even think about taking a step forward!"

He glanced at Huo Yi disdainfully and snorted: "If someone offends me, I will offend them! Anyone who dares to offend Wu's territory will be attacked and destroyed by Sheng!"

After Xu Sheng made such an impassioned speech, he turned to look at the other Jiangdong officials and said: "Everyone, you are all rolled out of swords and guns, let's not lose our place."

The other generals and officials in the palace clapped their hands and applauded.

"it is good!"

"Good job!"

"What General Xu Sheng said is absolutely true. We have all been thrown by swords and guns. What are we so afraid of?"

"Anyone who offends our country of Wu will be punished no matter how far away!"

The monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom in the palace were excited, but Sun Quan, who was on top of the throne, felt uncomfortable.

It's really nice to be able to express your tongue for a while.

But after this fun is over, how will it end?

Do we really have to face the wrath of Han?

Do you really want to meet the Han Dynasty's swordsmen?

Sun Quan's eyes rolled wildly. He didn't want to agree to Huo Yi, but he didn't dare to refuse immediately.

At this time, Sun Quan truly understood the value of the saying that fists are the last word. He was defeated by Liu Gongsi several times, so that he had to cede territory and pay compensation.

He has repeatedly launched military campaigns, and now he has finally reaped the consequences.

Our country of Wu is in a state of decline!

When Sun Quan was at a loss what to do, Zhuge Jin, the general of Wu Guozuo, wisely stood up at this moment.

"Your Majesty, what the Han envoy said is particularly excessive. However, Wu Fei is an unreasonable country. Such a major matter should be discussed for at least three days. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Yeah!"

Sun Quan was like a person who had been holding his breath for a long time and could suddenly open his mouth to breathe. There was a feeling of relief in his words at this moment.

"What General Zuo said is true. Since it is a major military and national matter, how can we make a hasty decision? Please also ask the Han envoy to return to the post house first, and I will give you an answer in three days!"

drag!

Just push hard!

If I wait a few more days, I won't be able to find any solution.

Is it possible that you, Mr. Liu, are really so domineering?

Qiang~

Huo Yi put the Han sword into its sheath, threw it to the deputy envoy behind him, and immediately saluted Sun Quan and said: "The envoy can still wait for three days, but my Highness also gave me a time limit. If this matter cannot be reached within the time limit, it will be deemed that Wu State does not agree, and if Wu State does not agree, my big man's countermeasures will be available in an instant!"

Haosheng is domineering, Haosheng is rampant!

On the side, Jie Xusheng's head was already full of veins, but he was held tightly by Zhuge Jin.

"In that case, the envoy takes his leave!"

Huo Yi had no expression on his face and turned to leave. After turning around, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and a sneer appeared on his face.

Just now, he thought this Jiangdong monarch had changed his gender!

You are so tough, dare to confront my big man?

Don't want

It was indeed hard, but it was only hard for three seconds.

After a while.

After Huo Yi left, Sun Quan looked around at the ministers in the palace and asked: "My dear friends, do you have any solution to this problem?"

Crack, how to crack?

Xu Sheng had been holding back his anger for a long time. He immediately stepped forward and said to Sun Quan: "Why should the king be afraid of Han? If we don't fight and win once, then this Han will really think that we, Wu, are The rats from Jiangdong cannot stand a fight."

Of course he, Sun Quan, can fight a battle.

But

What should I do if I lose the fight?

He can no longer afford to lose now.

"If you want to fight, you must at least do it as a last resort. Now we still have to think of some ways to deal with this matter. If we can avoid fighting, we will not fight."

Do you really think that he, Sun Zhongmou, wants to be a doormat?

There is nothing he can do!

If you can't win on a frontal battlefield, why don't you just swallow your anger?

"Hey, hey, hey~"

Xu Sheng sighed three times in a row, his face full of grievance, and had no choice but to stand back among the generals, with a gloomy face, lowered his head, and said nothing.

The main war faction was suppressed, and those seeking peace and surrender immediately came one after another.

"The Han Kingdom is at its peak, and the Han Crown Prince Liu Gongsi is like a heavenly being. He must not be fought against. Some of the Han Kingdom's demands are not impossible to agree to, but it depends on how much room for negotiation there is."

At this time Gu Yong came out to speak.

Since we can't fight, we must make peace, and then Wu must give in.

But the conditions offered by Han State are obviously not acceptable to Wu State.

If you cannot accept the conditions, just accept them.

"It's just that the attitude of this Han envoy is so arrogant. It's difficult, difficult, difficult to make the Han country give in!"

Someone sighed with emotion.

Zhang Zhao touched his beard, held the wat tablet in his hand, and stepped forward and said: "Now the world is divided into three parts, and I, the great Wu Dynasty, live in Jingzhou and Yizhou. They are either a land of fish and rice, or a land of abundance, and their national strength is strong. , Prince Liu Gongsi of the Han Dynasty, I heard that he has destiny, and he will be victorious in every battle. This sincerity cannot be competed with him. Now Emperor Xiaomin was assassinated by Cao Wei and died on the outskirts of Xudu. Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty rose up in accordance with the time of heaven, and his state affairs Prominent, there are great signs of the rise of the great Han Dynasty."

Zhang Zhao took a breath and saw that Sun Quan's face was getting darker and gloomier, but he seemed not to notice it and continued: "Fortunately, the king married his daughter to the Han prince. We, the Wu Kingdom and the Han Dynasty, can They can be called in-laws, and with this relationship, if the king takes the kingdom of Wu and surrenders, wouldn't he not have a high position?"

Down, down, down!

When Cao Cao came over, you had to surrender.

Now, Mr. Liu hasn’t come yet!

Are you going to surrender again?

Sun Quan twitched the corner of his mouth and immediately scolded: "We, Wu, are armed with hundreds of thousands of armors and have a vast territory of thousands of miles. How can we surrender without fighting? Don't mention this argument again!"

The leaders of the main war faction and the surrender faction came to speak.

But who can solve the current problems of our country, Wu?

Sun Quan said that he was in a hurry now!

In the main hall, although the ministers talked to each other, no one came to propose a solution.

Even in the end, it had become three factions.

Which three factions are there?

The first faction, the Peace Faction, among the Peace Faction were people like Gu Yong, who discussed with Han envoys and asked Han to give in before agreeing to Han's conditions.

Among the peace faction, there are also people who fully agree to Han's conditions. Although Han's conditions are excessive, it doesn't seem to matter if you agree to them. It's better than going to war with Han, isn't it?

Not giving them any coins is already an act of mercy outside the law of the Han Dynasty. We, the Wu Kingdom, are contented!

The second faction.

The main surrender faction.

Among those who advocated surrender, Zhang Zhao advocated surrender to the Han.

We, the kings and ministers of the Kingdom of Wu, should stop struggling and hold on to death. While we still have some wealth, we can surrender the whole country and get some benefits. The King of Wu is also an in-law of the Han Kingdom, so this can be done!

Of course, among the Zhujiang faction, there were not only those who wanted to surrender to the Han, but also those who wanted to surrender to Wei.

Their views are also straightforward.

Since you want to surrender, naturally you are the strongest to surrender.

Wei's national power is stronger than that of Han. If you don't surrender to the boss, why would you surrender to the second?

Besides, this Han envoy is so rampant, why is he licking his face? It has made our country of Wu a barbaric land, where people are as disgusted as dogs.

The third faction.

Main war faction.

Just like Xu Sheng, their opinions are simple:

People are bullying you, so why should you be afraid?

Dignity is achieved through fighting. Winning a battle will let the Han country know how powerful our Wu country is.

Now Sun Quan is really in a state of despair.

He knew the opinions of everyone in the palace.

But these proposed solutions either carry great risks or are nonsense.

surrender?

You can surrender, but how can I, Sun Quan, surrender?

Watching the sun gradually setting in the west, Sun Quan waved his hand in displeasure and said, "Let's break up. We will discuss this matter tomorrow!"

The queen once said that she had a way.

I don't know what her solution is.

Sun Quan couldn't help clenching his fists.

It seems that it is not impossible to sacrifice a woman for the great cause of Wu State.

Even though this woman is his queen!
