Call of the Deer

Chapter 43 The envoys of the states, the alliance seeks peace

Afterwards, Bei Minghao sent someone to meet the representatives of the Seventeen States, and soon the group arrived at the palace.

In this group of people, there are old and young, military generals, and counselors, all of whom are considered to be great people in each state, and each of them is either arrogant, ignorant, or surprised, and one or two seem to be very restrained.

Everyone stood below, looking at Bei Minghao who was sitting high above the hall, explained the symbolic greetings, and presented the gifts prepared by the kings, and then took their seats, Bei Minghao began to entertain these envoys.

A piece of graceful vocal music accompanied by the fluttering dances of a dozen beauties gradually passed away amidst the harmony and joy of the crowd...

After the banquet, all the envoys were sitting upright, as if they were going to 'raise trouble', but the old god Jia Xu was there, he should eat and drink, and he didn't seem to worry about the troubles these envoys would bring.

Suddenly, at this time, a man in blue and white brocade clothes stepped forward. This man looked delicate and full of vigor, with a heroic spirit between his brows. He was about 21 years old, and he had a scholarly atmosphere around him.

"King Yanhuang, Sun Wuji, the Minister of State under the command of King Qin, the King of Qin sent me here this time, first to wish the king the title of king, and to make an offensive and defensive alliance with Huangzhou theorem, and please allow the king to let everyone Don’t go back and explain.”

"Oh, Changsun Wuji? The King of Qin sent you here to form an offensive and defensive alliance? Why? Qinzhou is a thousand miles away from Huangzhou. Even if a war breaks out on one side, the other side is beyond reach. Far water cannot save near fire." Ah, it seems completely unnecessary, does King Qin think that his forces in Qinzhou can be adjacent to my Huangzhou in the future?"

When Bei Minghao heard this, his brows were raised slightly, and there was a turmoil in his heart. Could it be that Li Shimin already knew that he would become the biggest obstacle to his development in Qinzhou in the future?

"Your Majesty is joking. The people of Qinzhou are few and weak, how could they become a powerful force that spans several states. Your Majesty thinks highly of me in Qinzhou."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he was startled, but there was no abnormal change on his face, and he retorted lightly, as if he had expected it long ago. It seemed that he was still so calm, and his words were still so neither humble nor overbearing.

"Mr. Seriously, Mr. Qin Wang Wenyou is so talented, and Wu has such a peerless God of War as Li Yuanba. It seems that it will be a matter of time before the flag is lowered, and it is adjacent to my Huangzhou. I feel alone. Foresight!"

Bei Minghao was a little embarrassed. To be honest, he didn't want to make a covenant with King Qin, because it would be of no benefit to him at all, so he hoped that other states would be more vigilant against King Qin and buy him time.

"How does Your Majesty know that I am Li Yuanba in Qinzhou?" Changsun Wuji couldn't calm down anymore when he heard that. Li Yuanba is Li Shimin's important trump card. He has not yet been born in Xuezang. How did Bei Minghao know it? Could it be... At this moment, Changsun Wuji felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was chilled, and cold sweat immediately flowed from his forehead.

"Hmph, Gu knows the king of Qin, doesn't the king of Qin know about Gu? It seems that there is no need to hide it. As for the matter of the alliance, don't mention it again. If you have anything else to do, you might as well come together."

Bei Minghao snorted coldly, mercilessly, Changsun Wuji treated him like a fool, this matter is tolerable, what is unbearable.

"Your Majesty..." Changsun Wuji hesitated to speak, wanted to say something, but before he finished speaking, Jia Xu stood up at the right time and interrupted his words.

"Mr. Changsun, you think that you should stop when enough is enough. My king thinks that the alliance is completely unnecessary. Besides, I have said it clearly and clearly, and the alliance will only become a shackle. I don't know, but I still deceive me. Huangzhou has no one." Huh?"

"This... is Wuji's recklessness, please forgive me, Your Majesty and Mr. Jia!"

Seeing Jia Xu's cold eyebrows and aggressive words, while Guan Bei Minghao was sitting high in the hall, seeming to be asleep, and had already made up his mind to ignore him, Changsun Wuji had no choice but Shi Li apologized, and then withdrew down.

And following the failure of Changsun Wuji's negotiation with Bei Minghao, all the envoys in the hall whispered to each other and discussed a lot, and the discussions were nothing more than the matter of the alliance between the two states, and whether it was true that Qinzhou had the God of War.

And at this moment, the spearhead was finally directed to the direction of Qinzhou, and Huangzhou was no longer the only target of public criticism, which Bei Minghao was happy to see.

But at this moment, Changsun Wuji was quite indignant, but he couldn't do anything to Bei Minghao, so he could only sit aside and sulk.

"Your Majesty, Wu Yun, the envoy sent by the King of Xiaganzhou, came to congratulate the King on the title of king, and secondly, on behalf of my king, apologized for the previous misunderstanding. I hope that Huangzhou and Qianzhou can restore the old relationship and avoid wars. Wouldn't it be nice?"

When everyone was talking about Qinzhou, a person stepped forward and began to report to Bei Minghan and discuss matters.

"Hmph, I don't know how your Wang family apologizes. Our army has worked so hard to win Zhenguan and suffered heavy losses. Could it be that you can say it with just an apology? Then I, the Lord of Huangzhou in Tangtang, Wouldn't you be ridiculed by the world?"

When Bei Minghao heard that he was here to apologize, he sneered secretly in his heart, and berated him coldly, pretending that he would never make peace without paying a price.

"This..." Seeing Bei Minghao's perseverance, Wu Yun didn't know what to do. In the script he had written in advance, there seemed to be no such drama!

Huangzhou is now surrounded by powerful enemies on three sides, and if he is not careful, he will be in danger of being destroyed. Originally, he thought that as long as Bei Minghao was given a step down, Bei Minghao would be happy to accept it. Unexpectedly, things backfired. See quite a headache.

And before he set off, he was very energetic and promised to repair with Huangzhou. In this way, he was in a dilemma, which made Wu Yun very anxious.

Gritting his teeth in his heart, he planned to compromise and see how big Bei Minghao's appetite is. If he can accept it, he can make the decision. When he goes back, he will deal with the matter better. If Bei Minghao's lion speaks loudly, he will simply go back, anyway. The two states have been at loggerheads.

"My lord, what price do you think I, Qianzhou, should pay to appease your anger?" Wu Yun suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly.

"Gold is 5000 taels, and horses are [-]. You don't have to bargain with Gu. Gu knows the financial resources of Qianzhou, and knows that this is just a drop in the bucket for the king of Qianzhou. If you can't make the decision, go back and discuss with the king of Qianzhou. , if he doesn’t agree, just wait for the soldiers to meet each other, my Huangzhou men are all brave and good at fighting, and we are not afraid of any powerful enemies!”

Bei Minghao said in an uncompromising tone, while speaking, his eyes scanned all the envoys present, as if an evil beast had seen its prey, so that everyone present dared not look directly into Bei Minghao's eyes.

Seeing that Bei Minghao didn't seem to give him room to speak, Wu Yun wisely shut up and began to think.

5000 taels of gold is nothing to Qianzhou, but it is not a drop in the bucket as Bei Minghao said. 5000 taels of gold is the annual tax of Ganzhou. This is not the most painful thing, the most painful thing is the horses , Five hundred war horses?War horses are quite precious in Dongzhou, where war horses are scarce. King Qianzhou managed to gather more than 1 war horses for many years.

"What? A mere five hundred war horses are very precious to Qianzhou?" Bei Minghao squinted at Wu Yun, staring at Wu Yun with a contemptuous look, which made Wu Yun's face turn red. He couldn't afford it, he was filled with righteous indignation for a moment, and he yelled like a bloody man.

"Your Majesty, if you want to beat me to Ganzhou, I can't afford it. If Qianzhou doesn't care about five hundred war horses, please wait for half a month. After half a month, Wu will bring the horses and gold to visit the King again."

"Okay, happy, since that's the case, as long as the horse gold arrives, Gu will reconcile the old relationship with the king of Qianzhou, and never mention the previous unhappiness!"

Seeing that Bei Minghao got 5000 taels of gold for no reason, he was also very happy in his heart, and he accepted this windfall with peace of mind.

Afterwards, with the end of the banquet, all the envoys also left one after another. Some of them completed the task of the king, while others did not. There were joys and sorrows, and the feeling was indescribable.

Bei Minghao, on the other hand, laughed heartily, feeling very happy about the good thing about Changsun Wuji's embarrassment and the silly gift from the foolish king of Ganzhou.

After that, they started to discuss the matter of marrying Zhaojun, completely taking the matter of offending Qianzhou and Qinzhou to heart.

And several other states have launched conspiracies against Huangzhou, which Bei Minghao still doesn't know.
