Chapter 310 Yes, those who read the article are here
Yuan Ruan was shocked by the news.
Chen Guo voted now? !
She quietly watched the young envoy of the State of Chen walk in step by step, with a firm expression and strong eyes despite sadness. Then she finished her words that the State of Chen was willing to pay a ransom to redeem the three cities.
She watched as the Minister of War jumped out, glared at the envoy from the State of Chen with a fierce look, spoke in a poor manner, and kept listing how many soldiers and horses the State of Xia had lost on the battlefield, demanding that the State of Chen must increase the compensation.
The Minister of War pressed on step by step, and Envoy Chen Guolai was defeated step by step, and even retreated and leaned against the pillar beside him.
Then the prince came out and said something to ease the situation. Although his tone was gentle, his attitude was not at all softened.
This was completely different from the negotiations between the Minister of Rites and the Chen State delegation. At that time, no matter how loudly they shouted, they were just pulling, testing, and weighing the pros and cons. But here, the Xia State was strong, strong and neat, leaving the Chen State speechless.
Yuan Ruan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's only been a few months!
Yuanruan: [I didn’t expect to see a scene like this.]
The system also sighed: [Yes, there is also a wall-dong. Those who read the article will come just by smelling it. ]
Courtiers: ???
What is wall-dong?
What's that smell?! There's no smell at all.
Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Ah? Tong'er, why do you say that? ]
System: [Ahahaha, I just thought of a similar content. The defeated country sent its young and smart official to pray for peace, and then he was humiliated by the enemy's senior officials. Similarly, the enemy's prince also stood up for him and said a word or two, but it was useless. The young official still failed to successfully obtain the book of friendship between the two countries. After a few days, the enemy's senior officials found the young official of the defeated country...]
Many court officials subconsciously looked towards the Minister of War: This prototype is very obvious! Is the system trying to give us some warning?
The Minister of War, whose mind was only occupied by war, thought: I guess it will be a combination of threats and benefits.
System continues: [The enemy's senior official pushed the man against the wall and said, "You don't want your country to be destroyed, do you? Come and serve me."]
The court officials almost stumbled.
The emperor and the prince's eyes twitched slightly: ...
——I knew it, there’s nothing serious in this system.
The Minister of War almost vomited out of disgust and quickly took a big step back.
What on earth are the people who write storybooks for the system thinking? Let's not talk about men and women, just talk about that aspect. How can having two pounds of meat on the body be as interesting as "eating old and stale meat with strong will and drinking the blood of the Huns with a smile on your face" on the battlefield?
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [Tong'er, have you read any love-hate stories recently?! Be restrained.]
System: [Good! ]
At this time, the visitors from Chen State asked again when Xia State was willing to withdraw its troops.
The emperor directly asked the Minister of War to answer.
It was as if the Minister of War was possessed by the Minister of Revenue.
His mouth is full of money.
They almost keep in mind the phrase "When you give money, you withdraw your troops; the more money you give, the more troops you withdraw."
It was also the first time that Yuan Ruan found that the Minister of Revenue was not rolling his eyes when the Minister of War was speaking, but nodding in agreement.
The Minister of Revenue would even occasionally add a few words to help the Minister of War, for example, he would say that the Minister of War had omitted a zero in the compensation.
Yuan Ruan watched as the two men sang the same tune and made the other side lose ground.
The scene was very interesting.
It seemed that the two ministers were about to achieve complete victory in the verbal battle.
Yuan Ruan retracted his gaze and said to the system: [Tong'er, I am actually a little confused as to why Chen Guo fell to his knees.]
System: [What is sliding down?]
Yuan Ruan: [Just look at this. My brother blamed the Chen State delegation for something, but the Chen State just tolerated it? They paid compensation? They even ceded land? Isn't this too hasty? Don't they even want to fight back? ]
System: [Because Xia’s fists are really big! Between countries, the bigger the fists, the more powerful they are! And, with you and your brother here, your combination of punches is also the main reason why Chen’s country was defeated this time.]
Some people who knew the inside story smiled mysteriously.
Yuanruan looked a little confused: [Ah? What does this have to do with me? ]
System: [Aruan, ancient people were very superstitious! Let me put it this way, the Xia army is powerful, and the generals of the Xia are indeed very luxurious, but if it weren't for the "immortality" miracle displayed by your lucky bag, they would not have been able to defeat the Xiongnu and Chen Kingdom in just a few months.]
The emperor nodded slightly.
The prince was proud in his heart: She is worthy of being my ninth sister.
The court officials believed that there were more than just the Xiongnu nomads on the grassland. However, because of the existence of the Imperial Master Ci Fu, very few people dared to cooperate with the Xiongnu to provoke the Xia Kingdom. Even the Xiongnu's own tribal alliance, the pro-Xia Xiongnu second prince, was able to successfully lead a large number of tribes so early, all because of the existence of the little Imperial Master.
Yuan Ruan was a little embarrassed: [Ahem, this is just a symbolic meaning. Okay, let's talk about my role. ]
The system originally wanted to say that it was more than just symbolic meaning! But seeing Yuan Ruan's face slightly flushed, the system changed the subject.
System: [Your brother never shows his emotions, is full of tricks, and is extremely cunning...]
emperor:……
The court officials all looked blank.
Yuanruan: [Stop, stop, stop! Tonger, please use some nice words.]
System: [Well, alright. It's just unfathomable. Your brother has done too many things and directly cut off the way for Chen to ask Chu for help. Chen dare not ask Chu for help, and can't beat Xia. What else can it do except slide down and kneel down.]
Yuan Ruan was a little curious: [How did you do that, brother? ]
System: [Because your brother is cunning... ahem. For example, your brother asked Prime Minister Li to send a large number of troops into Chu under the pretext of looking for his daughter, so that Chu would misunderstand that Xia was sending troops to Chen. "The real purpose was not to send troops to Chen." In fact, the sword was pointed at the capital of Chu, so Chu was a little nervous and did not let the troops leave the capital, so naturally it could not help Chen send troops. ]
Prime Minister Li seemed to be thinking: No wonder His Majesty had ordered me to circle around the capital and draw maps after I went to Chu State, and also ordered him to strengthen the letters sent from the palace to the Grand Master of Chu State. It turned out that it was for this.
The system continued: [Not only did your brother mislead Chu, he also misled the Emperor of Chen that Xia and Chu had long been secretly connected and had reached an alliance. The Emperor of Chen naturally did not dare to ask for help from Chu, fearing that asking for help from the Chu army would be inviting a wolf into the house, so the Emperor of Chen gave up asking for help.]
Yuan Ruan nodded, but his expression was still very confused: [The Emperor of Chen and the Emperor of Chu are so simple? Don’t they have any doubts? ]
