Chapter 1305: Continuing the Past and Opening the Future (One Hundred and Ninety-Five) Negotiations

Stepping into the black palace where Wang Jian lives, even Niu Ben, who is well-informed, can't help but marvel. This pure Central Plains style palace was built after Wang Jian took power here. From here At this point, we can also see Wang Jian's true inner thoughts. It's a pity that Niu Ben has never been to Xianyang or seen the Black Ice Terrace in Xianyang, otherwise he would definitely recognize that this palace is a replica of the Black Ice Terrace.

It seems that this area is really rich, and the cost of building such a palace must be high.

Walking along the high steps into the palace, Wang Jian sat at the top of the empty hall. On both sides of him, two rows of generals sat in rows. Huang Ming brought Niu Ben to Wang Jian's house. In front of him, he sat on an empty futon next to Wang Jian.

&Zhuzhudao Novel www.;"Niu Ben, the envoy of the Han Kingdom, has met General Wang!" Niu Ben clasped his fists in his hands and bowed them to the ground.

Wang Jian stared at the envoy from the Han Dynasty in front of him. He did not look amazing. He had never heard of this person in his memory before. However, since he could represent the Han Dynasty here, his status was not low, or he had been in the past two years. A character who just emerged from Han Dynasty.

"Master Niu, thank you for coming all the way, please sit down!" Wang Jian pointed to a futon in front of him and motioned Niu Ben to sit down.

"Thank you, General, for sitting down!" Niu Ben smiled, lifted his robe, and sat down cross-legged on the ground. "When General Wang was at the end of his journey, he actually crossed the desert and arrived at this place, and created a huge foundation. When my king heard about it, he was greatly impressed. General Wang is really a brave and resourceful person, so he specially sent cattle to run. Come and congratulate your Majesty.”

Hearing Niu Ben's words, Wang Sheng's eyelids jumped a few times, "Back then, thanks to the gift from the King of Han, wolves and mice ran like wolves and rats. Little did they know that there is no end to the road, and actually laid a new foundation for Wang. I think the King of Han must have heard about it." It must have been a big disappointment after that.”

Niu Ben laughed loudly: "General Wang's words are serious. On the contrary, after hearing this, our king was very happy, saying that after returning this barbarian country to General Wang, Chinese culture will be spread here and take root. Germination, how could my king be disappointed with such a great thing?"

At the same time, Jin Yong sneered: "Didn't An Zhi send you to explore the way first, and then the army will be sent to drive us all out?"

Niu Ben glanced sideways at Jin Yong, "I wonder who the general is? Please forgive me for being short-sighted and not recognizing the general's face?"

Jin Yong was furious. Just as he was about to get angry, Wang Jian, who was at the head, had already said: "This is my general Jin Yong. After I led my troops here, we fought many bloody battles. General Jin was extremely brave and accomplished great achievements. He is my right-hand man."

"Oh, it turns out he's a rising star. I'm sorry!" Niu Ben nodded. Jin Yong was ashamed and annoyed, but what Niu Ben said was indeed the truth.

When Wang Jian led his army into the desert, he was just a young general. This position is really not worth mentioning in the Han army's intelligence system. "What General Jin just said is wrong. Everyone was a participant in the war that year. After thinking about it, I understand that the war was not started by my big man, but was caused by your country's brazen invasion of my big man. Since it is two countries When fighting, it is natural for everyone to settle down with their destiny, but that battle has ended, and the current situation is very different from that then. Now that General Wang has opened up a paradise for spreading Chinese culture in the land of Huawai, it is too late for me, the king, to celebrate, and How come the army is attacking?"

Niu Ben pointed to the credential spread out in front of Wang Jian, "My king sent General Wang the credential, which already shows my attitude as a man."

What this attitude is, everyone here is very clear. What the King of Han sent was a letter of credence, which regarded their regime as an independent country and sent personnel to interact with them on an equal basis. Of course, this is also What matters most to them. Here, they are the aloof rulers, but if they return to Da Qin, they are nothing. Even Wang Jian has to kneel down.

"How can I believe that this is not a delaying strategy of the Han Kingdom?" Wang Jian glanced at the credentials, "Since your envoy has come, he must have already known that there is some connection between me and Lu Chao. Now is the time when the Han Kingdom is preparing When he launches a massive attack on Qin, the King of Han must be doing this because he doesn't want me to help Qin. Once Qin is destroyed, will he immediately turn around and attack me? Speaking of which, I have a lot of hatred with Han!"

Niu Ben slowly shook his head: "General Wang has not been to the Central Plains for several years, so he must not know much about the situation in the Central Plains. When Lu Chao's special envoy came to you, he mostly reported good news but not bad news. We have been slow to take action against Qin. It's not because we don't have the ability, but because we don't want to lose the lives of my Han soldiers, and because the civil war in Qin is coming, I'm afraid it won't be long before we get into a group. I, the Han, are naturally willing to commit such a suicide act. Wait a minute, of course we are very willing to reap the benefits. And Special Envoy Lu Chao is here to persuade General Wang to send troops from the desert to contain our big man. The troops have no time to be distracted, so that he can do treacherous things, right?" Niu Ben smiled: "Please forgive me for saying this, General Wang, please think about it, you are not betrayed by Lu Chao!"

"I'm not an idiot, I don't need you to remind me!" Wang Jian said coldly. "Whether he succeeds or not, once I send troops, it will give the Han people an excuse to send troops to attack me. Even if there is a desert barrier, I don't think I can stop the Han soldiers' attack, so this matter does not need to be worried by your ambassador. ”

Niu Ben clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's very good. General Wang knows how powerful this is. I don't need to say more, but speaking of which, I am here just for this matter. I also want to invite General Wang and Lu Chaoxu I promise him to send a large number of troops to the northwestern region to contain the strength of the Han Dynasty, so that he can start this civil war with confidence and boldness. "

Wang Jian chuckled, "I promised Lu Chao, and even made some troop movements to confuse him, so that he would have no worries, and you can take this opportunity to send troops in large numbers. When Lu Chao's main force leaves Hangu Pass, there will be no Without my containment in the northwest, Hangu Pass will definitely not be defended. If Hangu Pass is lost, the principle of great peace in Guanzhong will be under the attack of your troops. Without several counties around Hangu Pass, Lu Chao will become toothless. Tiger, defeat is at hand, right?”

"Of course, that's what we had in mind." Niu Ben smiled and clapped his hands.

"Why should I do this? What benefits can I get?" Wang Jian snorted coldly.

Niu Ben suppressed his smile and said, "The first benefit you can get is that the Han will promise that as long as your soldiers and horses do not step across the desert, the Han will not attack you. General Wang, I believe you will definitely make this promise. It’s very desirable.”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the palace were moved. For them, this is indeed what they want most. If they get the big man's promise, they can deploy all their defense forces to the north to deal with the possibility of a large-scale attack. of black food. After coming here for several years, they have already regarded this place as their own home and their last safe haven. If this area is not preserved, they will become homeless dogs again.

"How can I trust you?" Wang Jian looked at Niu Ben, "As far as I know, you have set up the Third Military Region. I'm afraid the target is me, right?"

Niu Ben shook his head: "The general is overly worried. The establishment of the third military region is actually a measure taken by our Han Dynasty to strengthen control over the northwest. The northwest is vast, with a small number of people and numerous ethnic groups that are unruly and half-ruined. The Third Military Region was established mainly to target them. Apart from a small number of regular troops, the Third Military Region was made up of disbanded guardsmen. Their main tasks were to cultivate land, open up wasteland, and gradually develop the northwest. The main purpose is to develop the local economy and has no military purpose. Of course, the words are unfounded. If the general could see all this with his own eyes, it would be obvious. "

"Of course I will send someone to take a look." Wang Jian nodded, "But just such a promise, I think it is not enough."

Niu Ben's eyes flashed, "I don't know if the general has any other requests, so feel free to put them forward. Of course, I can only answer them for you. I can't guarantee the outcome."

"Very good!" Wang Jian said: "In addition to this promise, I have several other requirements. First, I will establish a country. I 3617/'> hope that the Han Kingdom will recognize the legitimacy of this country."

"Of course, my king has acknowledged this when he sent his credentials to the general." Niu Ben said.

"Second, I need help." Wang Jian looked at Niu Ben and said, "When your envoy first came here, some situations were not clear. Now I am facing a huge dilemma. If I can't solve this dilemma, I will be forced to He had no choice but to mobilize all his troops and cross the desert again, hoping to return to his homeland. "

Niu Ben took a deep breath: "I don't know what difficulties the general encounters. As long as I can help, I will not refuse."

"Further north in my territory, there is a powerful neighbor called Black Clothes Dashi. Now I have fought against them. Although I won a small victory, their strength is definitely not comparable to mine. To be honest, what I defeated was just one of their losers in the struggle for domestic power. Even so, it also made me feel quite strenuous. I was worried that their king would send out large numbers of troops after stabilizing his domestic rule. Come here, you must know that the fertile land in the area I control will definitely attract others to covet it."

"Big food in black clothes?" Niu Ben was stunned.

"Yes, it is a very powerful country. I will ask someone to hand over their specific information to you later." Wang Jian said, "If the big man can give me great assistance in materials, especially ordnance, I can block their attack." Bingfeng, everything else is easy to talk about.”

Niu Ben sat up straight, "I will report this situation to the country as soon as possible. Of course, in return, I will first solve a big trouble in your territory, General. I think the Huyan tribe of the Huns is still causing trouble for the General. In the general’s territory, the only thing that has not yet been solved is the Huyan tribe. This time, I will take them away. How about this being our first gift to the general?” (To be continued...)
