Chapter 258 False Peace
Now that the King of Yan has decided, Silla will be the evil spirit. This is not the heads of several puppet leaders that can solve the problem. Killing Silla Yan King of Yan is an explanation for the capital, and it also let Jia Nanfeng know that this evil spirit has been eradicated. The follow-up that can be counted in one fell swoop was bought with just a few heads? Isn’t it a little cheaper?
Although he thought so, Sima Ji did not refuse immediately. Instead, he developed a kind face and discussed in detail when to pay tribute and when to start trade. He even wanted to be a bridge between Silla and Dajin, preparing to seek a title like a prince for King Silla.
"If King Silla shows sincerity, peaceful coexistence is actually a blessing." Sima Ji spoke falsely, bringing the essence of Sima's sweet-mouthed sword to the limit. "I have a great land and a vast world. Is it worthy of our mobilization of a small country? I believe that the envoy can understand this."
The King of Yan opened his mouth and said that my great Jin Dynasty had its own national conditions here. He took the seniority of the gentry and began to brainwash it.
Sima Ji himself did not believe this, and even no one in the court believed it. This was not because the metaphysics of the Jin Dynasty were prevalent, so he talked about it in a simple manner, but because it was like this in all dynasties, and of course the court hoped that the lower-level people would be content with the status quo, so he found ways to make the lower-level people obey the people.
All dynasties and generations have actually been successful, but it does not mean that the ministers in the court are the same. The people are honest and responsible, respect the imperial power, and the ministers and nobles in the court have to be saints. If this is true, why should Daefang County have acquainted with Baekje? Why is the Japanese tribe unclear about Lelang County?
Isn’t it because their theory only hopes that the people believe it, but they are absolutely disdainful?
"The villain understands, understands!" The envoy bowed repeatedly. When he saw Sima Ji's appearance, he was so happy. If the Jin Dynasty retreated, he believed that he would definitely become the confidant minister of King Silla, and his glory and wealth would be just around the corner.
You are so young! Sima Ji was happy. These envoys who came to the capital to pay tribute all the time saw the lives of the people along the way, and the officials we welcomed were all speaking official words. In this way, how could they see the true face of the aristocratic people who eat people and don’t spit out bones? I really think that the court is the same as the people?
The King of Yan seemed very satisfied with the attitude of the envoy, and put away his fangs and looked respectful to the wise and polite. If the show was performed well today, it might reduce the cost of the war and ordered the preparation of fine wine and good dishes. The King of Yan played a guest role in the Taichang Temple Minister and was ready to fight with the envoy sent by the King of Silla.
Sima Ji took off his waist knife and asked the messenger to take him back to give him to King Silla. This was a very high etiquette in ancient times, and it was of great significance to these leaders who were still in the Spring and Autumn Period. Finally, he sent the messenger gift back and expressed his hope to meet King Silla.
"Your Highness, can you use his sword to a barbarian leader?" When the Silla envoy left, Zhang Da couldn't help but walk in and said, "Even if the war is not started directly, the current situation can force the other party to sign the city alliance. Zhang Da is a little confused when he is treated like this now."
Sima Ji's face was almost distorted. If this elm-wood head was not enlightened, he would doubt whether he could take on a great task in the future. The brainwashing effect last time was not good, why can the effect only last for half a month? Should I make up for the lessons?
Sima Ji, who was pinching his waist and looked tired, sighed and said, "Who said I was going to force the other party to sign the city alliance? No matter what alliance, it is a piece of waste paper. Whether it is valid for one year is questionable. Will King Silla be back if he is immortal? Return the city alliance, sign a lot."
"That's Your Highness's Sabre?" Zhang Da's voice suddenly became much smaller after being slapped in his face.
"The sword is just a piece of iron. You want it. I will give you a hundred pieces when you go back. You should sleep with the sword at night. Why don't I pass on your wife to someone else?" Sima Ji directly robbed Zhang Da and scolded him, "If King Silla feels that he is treated with courtesy and goes out of the city, it is more useful than anything else. I think the gift is not enough. If the messenger of Silla dares to come, I will prepare to give him some valuable items."
Zhang Da was stunned by Sima Ji. After a while, he realized and asked, "Your Highness is going to trap King Silla. It seems that Zhang Da is stupid."
"If King Silla is as dull as you, my plan is really sure of success." Sima Ji looked tired, and he really didn't want to say anything more, and forced the other party to sign the city alliance? What a joke.
When his companion was baptized by the West Attraction, Li Shan took two steps back without moving his expression, and was not ready to share the firepower with his good colleagues, brothers and good partners who were with him day and night. He waited until Sima Ji's voice was slower before he said, "But Your Highness, if you go back on your word and lure King Silla, will it be detrimental to Your Highness's reputation?"
"That thing about fame? What's the use? If my reputation can be exchanged for the lives of thousands of soldiers, I can sell this reputation, it depends on who will offer the starting price? But, you have to increase the money." Sima Ji yawned and said disdainfully, does the family he was born have a reputation?
So what if Sima Ji deceived King Silla? Who knows? Historical books only record that King Silla was cunning and cruel, and went back on his word. The King of Yan repeatedly warned that he had to take the worst. The whole plan was arranged in a meticulous way, reflecting his superb strategy, and he did not write anything else.
Soon Sima Ji ordered the lifting of the siege of Jinshan City. At least on the surface, the people of Silla will not be threatened by their lives when they leave the city. They must do a full set of tricks when they do the show. At that time, the ordering of attack is just a matter of an order.
It was impolite to come but not to go, Sima Ji selected a man who looked upright from the Sima of the army and asked him to bring the prepared gifts in Jinshan City and give them to King Silla.
This Sima of the army was carefully selected. He was not a person with superb wisdom, but a real elm. He really thought he was a messenger of peaceful coexistence. After receiving the order, he was inspired by the name of history and thought that he could be compared with Lin Xiangru, and set out with a refreshed spirit, and repeatedly promised the King of Yan that he would complete his mission.
"What an honest man, I can't bear to lie to him." Sima Ji looked at the envoy who was deliberately selected and felt a little guilty in his heart. But there was no way. No matter how good the lobbyist was, he would never be able to compare with it. The reality of a chess piece that was also in the game. Since it was hidden no matter how tightly it was, it might be seen through, so he could only deceive his own people.
