Chapter 2267 Qin-Tang Luoyang Treaty (Part 1)


    Chapter 2264: The Treaty of Luoyang in Qin and Tang Dynasties (Part 1)


    Luoyang, the Embassy of Wei State, Cao Cao, Duke of Wei, has personally arrived in Luoyang, and he is also the first prince to visit.


    After arriving in Luoyang, Cao Cao immediately visited Ying Wen.


    The two are both comrades-in-arms and sworn brothers. They naturally have to drink some time when they meet again after a long time.


    Of course, in addition to drinking, Cao Cao also had another purpose, which was to get some news from Qin Wen.


    Wei was surrounded by Qin on three sides. Qin''s military strategy was related to the life and death of Wei, so Cao Cao did not dare to be careless at all.


    Although Cao Cao was cunning, Ying Wen was also an old fox, so it was naturally impossible for Cao Cao to easily get involved.


    Besides, Ying Wen no longer cared about the facts and his life was getting harder and harder for the Wu Kingdom. Now he knows no more about the matters within Qin than Cao Cao.


    However, in order to appease Cao Cao, Ying Wen deliberately revealed some information to Cao Cao after getting drunk, such as Qin State going to cultivate and rest, and the next main target was Guanxi, which was used to dispel Cao Cao''s vigilance against Qin State.


    After Cao Cao learned about this, he felt a little relieved and wanted to take more words, but Ying Wen simply pretended to be drunk.


    Seeing this, Cao Cao had to give up and stayed at the embassy honestly, watching the storm of Luoyang.


    He is now in Luoyang, so he dare not jump too often. If it arouses Ying Hao''s dissatisfaction and secretly trips him up, it would be unprofitable.


    Because he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction from Ying Hao, Cao Cao even dared not contact the envoys from other countries, but he did not have so much concern about the two envoys from Song and Wu, who were friendly to the country, so he often communicated with the envoys from Wu and Song.


    "Have the lonely second brother Sun arrived yet?" Cao Cao asked.


    Lu Su, an envoy of the Eastern Wu, said: "My lord set out half a month ago, but he encountered trouble on the road, which delayed for a while. However, the lord has entered the territory of Song and will arrive in Luoyang soon with Song."


    The Wu Kingdom is different from the Wei and Song dynasties. The Wu Kingdom does not border the Qin Kingdom. The journey from Jiangdong to Luoyang is long, and it also has to pass through the Song Kingdom, so it is naturally not as fast as Cao Cao.


    Cao Cao heard some other meanings from Lu Su''s mouth.


    With Duke Song?


    Cao Cao couldn''t help but sneer. It seemed that his second brother Sun was not as loyal as Qin as he appeared, and secretly became vigilant against the growing Qin State.


    Of course, Cao Cao also knew that even if Wu was vigilant against Qin, he would never turn against Qin until there was a major conflict of interest.


    With the continuous growth of Chu State, the situation in Jiangnan has completely reversed, and now is the situation of Chu and Wu being strong.


    In fact, the State of Wu is like Wei. Wei is surrounded by Qin on three sides, while Wu is surrounded by Chu on three sides.


    The State of Wu, surrounded by Chu, has not yet been completely resolved within the Shanyue rebellion, and Qin is the only ally able to help Wu restrain Chu.


    Therefore, until the threat from Chu was completely resolved, Wu would never end the alliance with Qin.


    However, when you have a good relationship, you should be careful when you should be careful.


    This time, Sun Jian and Zhao Kuangyin entered Luoyang together to show a signal that the Wu State could work with other countries to curb the expansion of Qin and Wu State without affecting the Qin-Wu alliance.


    As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao was very calm. If he had the full support of Wu, it might have allowed Qin to give in to the Guanzhong issue.


    In the battle of Guanzhong, the Qin army''s offensive was too fierce. Seeing that Li Shimin was about to be unable to hold on. If the forces of various countries did not intervene, the Tang Kingdom would definitely not be able to keep Guanzhong.


    Not long ago, the envoy of Tang State Li Shangyin came to see Cao Cao, hoping that Wei could help Tang State say a few words, but Cao Cao drove Li Shangyin away without even showing his face.


    The strategic goal of the Qin army was to first Guanxi and then Guandong. Once the Sui and Tang dynasties in Guanxi were destroyed, the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties in the Central Plains were immediately followed.


    Cao Cao naturally did not want Tang State to be destroyed. It was not that he did not want to help, but that he was facing Qin, the eldest brother, Wei State, as his younger brother, could not stand up and did not dare to openly help Tang State to get against Qin State.


    Of course, it doesn’t work openly, Cao Cao can come to the dark.


    After Li Shangyin hit a nail in Cao Cao, he immediately contacted the envoys from other countries, and in the Song Dynasty, it was the thread that Wei helped him.


    The little brother of Wei State was already a little impatient to get rid of the control of the eldest brother of Qin State.


    "Lord, there is the latest information. Tang State wants to pay tribute to Qin State, and the Tang King also wants to take the throne."


    "What?"


    Cao Cao was shocked immediately. Li Shimin is so proud, but now he wants to take the throne? This is obviously going to be forced into a dead end.


    "Li Shimin''s courage is great enough. If he takes the condition of resigning from the throne and taking office, he should be able to stop the war.


    The King of Qin is about to become emperor, and it is unlikely that he will refuse the surrender of a prince. Otherwise, the other princes will be sad and force the major princes to unite to resist Qin.


    However, even if Qin accepts surrender, Tang will definitely bleed heavily and may even completely withdraw from Guanzhong.


    No, it cannot be allowed to get Guanzhong so easily. ”


    Cao Cao''s eyes were full of solemnity. After all, if Qin had Guanzhong, it would be not far from occupying the entire Guanxi. His next target was the Central Plains where Wei was located.


    As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Secretly contact the envoys of Song and Wu and let them negotiate issues in Qin and Tang, but it is appropriate to help Tang." Cao Cao has already regarded Tang as a tool to restrain Qin, but he dared not help Tang openly. He could only help secretly in this way and encourage Song and Wu to charge forward, which naturally has nothing to do with his Wei State.


    "Lord, there is another piece of news that I don''t know whether it is true or false. There are rumors in Luoyang City that Princess Xiuning of Tang has an affair with the King of Qin and has given birth to the King of Qin privately... However, Tang did not use this as a threat, and the Tang envoy did not mention this at all during the negotiations."


    "oh?"


    Cao Cao immediately became energetic, then frowned and said to himself, "Li Shimin has been forced into a dead end. He holds such a trump card but doesn''t need it. This is not his personality."


    After thinking hard for a long time, Cao Cao understood the intention of Tang State to do so, and laughed and said, "So that''s it, so that''s it..."


    As Tang State surrendered to peace, this confrontation changed from a war between Qin and Tang to whether various countries could force Qin to make concessions in Guanzhong.


    Li Shimin knew that Qin would not refuse Tang''s surrender, and also knew that various countries would not watch Qin force Tang to leave Guanzhong, so he gave in so neatly.


    Of course, Li Shimin did not put all his hopes on all countries. In addition to contacting all countries to put pressure on Qin, he mainly used the two illegitimate children to make trouble.


    Li Shimin did not explicitly propose it in the peace talks between the two countries, but instead used rumors to indirectly attacking. This is actually a more clever approach.


    After all, he cannot prove the bloodline of these two children, and if Ying Hao is a little bit **** and refuses to admit it, Li Tang will have no other way.


    In short, using children to threaten and fight for profit will only anger Ying Hao and break up.


    On the contrary, the Tang side did not use children as a threat, and even did not mention this in the negotiations. If Qin side took the initiative to propose it, even if Tang side did not use children to fight for benefits, Qin side would take the initiative to make concessions.


    As for whether Qin Fang would not mention it, he would give up these two children directly?


    The answer is definitely no.


    Tang Fang''s actions are equivalent to giving both sides a step. If Ying Hao even refuses this, he will give people a feeling of being too cold and ignores his own son for his ambition, and he will easily be criticized for his reputation.


    In short, it is moral kidnapping, and Ying Hao is undoubtedly a person who cherishes his feathers.


    . . . . . . . . .


    “…It’s roughly that.”


    After listening to Han Fei''s explanation, Qin Hao couldn''t help but fall into deep thought.


    The Tang side’s plan this time was indeed an open conspiracy, which was beneficial to both Qin and Tang sides, and the Qin side was even more beneficial.


    What benefits can Tang Fang have? It’s just a temporary escape, survive and fight for the unknown hope.


    It is impossible for Qin to return the lost land and cities of the Tang State.


    As one goes up and down, when Qin State cultivates and rests, if the army is sent again next time, should Chang''an be lost or lost, and should Tang State be destroyed or destroyed.


    The ending will not change, but the process has been extended a little.


    What benefits can Qin State get?


    As soon as he became emperor, he defeated the Tang Kingdom, and his military strength was promoted, which shocked the princes in the world. He could rest with peace of mind and welcome the two princes left behind.


    In short, there are many benefits. On the contrary, if you refuse, not only will your reputation be damaged, but there are also many other disadvantages, which makes Ying Hao unable to think of a reason for rejection.


    "In addition, the person who offered this plan should have an old age with Li Xiuning, and he may have the intention to surrender to Qin." Han Fei said.


    "What does this mean?" Ying Hao said in confusion.


    "This plan is the best of both worlds at any time, but it is too gentle. If it weren''t for the intention of surrendering to Qin, it wouldn''t have offered this plan."


    Han Xin guessed nothing wrong. Li Si did have the intention to surrender to Qin, but he hid it very well, and no one could tell it yet.


    With Li Si''s wisdom, it is naturally not difficult to see that Qin destroyed Tang Dynasty and that Li Shimin is seeking death by himself by hitting a chariot with his own strength. Even with his full support, he cannot stop it.


    Li Si naturally did not want to bury Li Tang with him, but unlike others, generals from other people can surrender, and as a member of the Li Tang royal family, he was destined to be reused even if he surrendered.


    But once the Qin and Tang dynasties marry and Li Xiuning will marry into Qin, the situation will be completely different.


    Even if the Tang Kingdom is destroyed by Qin in the future, Li Si will not leave any verbal words when he surrenders to Qin. After all, he defected to the Li family''s son-in-law.


    Moreover, Li Xiuning was in Qin State, and Li Si surrendered to Qin, so he was not "naked". After all, he was the biggest contributor to the marriage between Qin and Tang Dynasty, and he was also Li Xiuning''s benefactor. It is not a matter of course to take care of him.


    It has to be said that Li Si’s plan this time was for the Tang Dynasty, but in fact he was for himself, and both countries also benefited, which can be said to be a kill of three birds with one stone.


    "Of course, this is just Han Fei''s guess, and there is no definite determination."


    Hearing Han Fei''s words, everyone showed a meditative look, obviously they all agreed with it, including Qin Hao.


    At this time, Qin Hao was very curious. Who made this plan, but he was not in a hurry. He would naturally know when Li Xiuning came.
