Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 708 Fishing in troubled waters
"Ignore them? Isn't that a bad idea? After all, we in the Western Regions are one family, and if the Great Yan Empire hadn't threatened us, we would have destroyed Shu and Jin long ago."

Helian Chunsheng said coldly.

"Neither the Zhou Dynasty nor the Liyang Dynasty will let us destroy Shu and Jin. Once a dynasty is destroyed, the entire Western Region will rise up to attack it, and we are probably not far away from destroying the country."

Nalan Shengtian saw it clearly.

What he said is true. The Zhou Dynasty and the Liyang Dynasty will not sit back and watch the Xixia Kingdom become stronger and become another existence that can compete with the three major dynasties.

Therefore, Daxia would return the cities of Shu and Jin.

However, after they looted the two countries, their own national power increased greatly, which is real.

As for Shu and Jin, no one can destroy the two countries without the consent of the three dynasties. However, this time, once Jin and Shu receive envoys from the Chinese Empire, it will be a different matter.

"Your Majesty, the Zhou Dynasty is far away from us, and there is Shu Kingdom in between. With our current national strength, even if the Liyang Dynasty invades the whole country, we don't have to be afraid of them."

Helian Chunsheng was full of confidence.

He currently holds an army of 30 men. If he did not have to guard against the Liyang Dynasty, Shu State and Jin State, he would not be afraid at all even if the Chinese Empire stationed an army of 20 men.

As a small dynasty, it is not bad to have an army of 30. After all, the three major dynasties only claim to have an army of 60 to [-].

For example, the Jin and Shu countries currently have less than [-] standing troops, and their weapons and equipment are backward. They have more than enough to defend cities but not enough to attack them.

This is also why Jin and Shu are so afraid of the Zhou Dynasty.

The enemy can send out an army at will and destroy you. Can you not be afraid?

"Your Majesty, the friendly trade proposed by the Chinese Empire Mission can promote our country's economic prosperity. It is a win-win situation. It is a pity that once trade is opened, they will be able to know more about us. It is really difficult to make a choice!"

Yuwensu's tone was full of helplessness.

"I don't know what you are saying. However, if both parties want to trade, they must sign a non-aggression treaty or establish an alliance."

Nalan Shengtian's eyes shone with the light of wisdom.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the other three dynasties will definitely not agree. They might join forces to attack us."

Helian Chunsheng interrupted.

"Yes, if we fall to the Chinese Empire, the Liyang Dynasty will definitely be the first to send troops to attack us. The Chinese Empire is too far away from us and cannot help us."

Nalan Shengtian nodded slightly, but also had a headache.

"Your Majesty, if it doesn't work, we will send the envoy away according to normal diplomatic etiquette and tell them that we still need to consider it."

Yu Wensu is a cunning and cunning person who uses the trick of procrastination.

"Well, this is a good idea. Let's see what other dynasties want first."

Nalan Shengtian also agreed with this approach.

Shoot the first bird!
Neither soft nor hard, just put things off for now, since you won’t be the first to sign a deal anyway, let’s wait and see the situation before making a decision.

As for the Prime Minister of Yue State, let him go back and forth wherever he goes?Don't come to Daxia Kingdom.

That's a good point. We are all members of the Western Regions. If a knife were put to their necks, no one would stand up and be stabbed.

The next day, Mr. Jiang from the Chinese Empire Mission received news from Daxia.

Since others did not want to sign any treaty with the Chinese Empire, and the imperial cabinet also sent an order to him to meet Lord Deng at the border of Shu, he took the opportunity to go south.

Therefore, after breakfast, Lord Jiang set off with the envoy and headed south towards the border of Shu.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Dou of the Yue Kingdom knew that Daxia would not detain the mission, let alone destroy it. His mission was considered a complete failure.

However, this matter will never end like this. He is ready to go to the Liyang Dynasty immediately to accuse Daxia of various crimes.As for the crime, it all depends on his mouth.

Although no treaty was signed, the Daxia Kingdom kept Mr. Jiang for two days, and also made the Prime Minister responsible for receiving the envoys. This ambiguous relationship was enough to arouse the suspicion and suspicion of the Liyang Dynasty.

Just as Lu Hao thought, sending an envoy to the Western Regions was not only to find out their situation, but the most important thing was to muddy the stagnant waters of the Western Regions. The Chinese Empire was very fond of fishing in troubled waters.
……

Jindu City, the capital of Shu Kingdom.

In accordance with the wishes of the country's leader, General Shen came to inform Lord Deng early in the morning, hoping that they would leave Shu before noon.

Although Mr. Deng was a little angry, he still agreed and immediately asked people to pack their things and prepare to leave.

Unfortunately, Princess Furong came in a hurry and stopped them, saying that she could only leave after meeting her father no matter what.

"Princess Furong, if the king doesn't want to see us, then don't be embarrassed, let's leave first!"

Lord Deng bowed and saluted.

"No! Normal diplomatic relations between the two countries are our internal affairs and should not be interfered by other countries. You don't want to lose the reputation of the Chinese Empire, right?"

Princess Furong insisted.

"Since the princess said so, let's go into the palace to meet the king."

Master Deng reluctantly agreed.

Although Lu Hao did not enter the palace, relying on his powerful soul power, he could naturally understand their conversations and command Master Deng remotely.

Under his instruction, Lord Deng went into the palace to see what the leader of Shu said. If he was really afraid, it would not be too late for them to leave.

Of course, if the Shu Kingdom stands firmly on the side of the Chinese Empire, then Lu Hao's attitude towards them will naturally be different in the future.

Respect first and then soldiers!

Lu Hao is a reasonable and affectionate person, and at the same time, he is also a ruthless person.

Treat your friends with the warmth of spring, and treat your enemies with the ruthlessness of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

In fact, Lu Hao originally wanted to leave, but for the sake of Princess Furong, he still had to give her a chance.

Lord Deng followed Princess Furong into the palace. General Shen must have been unhappy and immediately stood up to block their way.

The current General Shen is very loyal to the king. He is worried that the situation may become more complicated after Mr. Deng enters, and he does not want to embarrass the king.

"General Shen, what do you mean?"

Princess Furong shouted coldly.

"Princess, the king wants the Chinese Empire's mission to leave, so please don't embarrass the general."

General Shen's attitude is much tougher than yesterday.

"Leave? The Chinese Empire's envoys have come all the way. Out of normal diplomatic relations, we, the Shu State, should also meet the king. Has our Shu State really become a vassal state of the Great Zhou?"

Princess Furong spoke fiercely and seemed a little excited.

"Princess, the general's order is to send them out of the city. I don't know anything about the others. Please atone for your sins!"

General Shen did his duty faithfully.

"Go away!"

Princess Furong was furious and pushed General Shen away.
