Chapter 712: Proton Candidates
Agula's persuasion was fruitless, and he could only sigh in the end.
Although the eldest prince is not very smart in other aspects, he has led troops by Khan's side for many years, and after all he still understands some military affairs.
Now Chu State is afraid that they really don't have the idea of going to war with them on the grassland. Otherwise, if they are dragged here, they should find ways to transport firearms there.
The delivery of firearms is much more careful than conventional weapons, and it is very slow. Since Chu State does not send firearms to the border at this time, it should be stable this time.
At this moment, the eldest prince asked, "Which princess did Chu send to marry?"
Agula shook his head and said: "There is no princess of the right age in Chu, and there are only a few princes who have not grown up in the deep palace."
The eldest prince said: "That's okay, Father Khan has already selected a beautiful woman from the grassland, and it's fine to marry her."
Agula continued to shake his head and said, "It doesn't work either."
The eldest prince asked, "Why not?"
Agula said; "Did the eldest prince forget what I said? The unmarried princes in Chu State are still underage and cannot marry a wife."
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and said, "Then what should we do?"
Agula said: "Besides marrying a wife, there is another way to exchange protons."
The eldest prince was surprised and said, "Exchanging protons?"
Agula nodded and said: "That's right, our proton must be Khan's blood relative, and the opponent's proton must also be the emperor's blood relative, so that there is enough deterrence."
The eldest prince nodded without thinking about it and said: "No matter what method is used, the most important thing is to agree on the alliance as soon as possible."
Agula also said helplessly: "Yes."
Today's Khan and the eldest prince are people who can't wait to send troops to the Central Plains, so naturally they can't listen to any other words except the covenant.
But this is also understandable.
Why is Khan so anxious to send troops to the Central Plains?
In addition to being afraid that it will take a long time, they will lose their fighting spirit after training the grassland cavalry after hundreds of battles, and there is the problem of food.
There is a lack of five grains on the grassland and vegetables lack fine salt, and the climate of the grassland is not suitable for growing food, so they are nomadic people who live on animal husbandry.
The grassland has always existed in the form of tribes, and wars will break out from time to time. In fact, it has a lot to do with food.
Why did Khan lead the Wanyan army to fight all the way without stopping?
Is it just because of red eyes?
In fact, there is another reason. Only by defeating other tribes can you plunder their tribe's food.
It is not uncommon for the grasslands to go south every winter to plunder some grain from the Central Plains for the winter.
Of course, it is not always possible to successfully grab food on the grassland, and it is not easy to bypass the border guards.
Successfully circumvented and looted a certain amount of food, that is blood money.
In case of being bypassed and discovered, it doesn't matter much, at most, pay attention in the next life, and strive for blood earning in the next life.
However, the climate in the Central Plains is very suitable for the growth of food. As long as the land in the Central Plains is seized, food can be grown, and the grassland will not be short of food in the future.
As long as they had enough to eat, their fighting power in the grassland would usher in a big increase again.
If the state of Chu is not easy to eat, then attack the state of Zhou!
If the grassland wants to develop and grow, it must invade the Central Plains.
At that time, you will have what you want.
This can be said to be their national policy, which cannot be shaken by anyone.
In order to determine the proton candidate as soon as possible, Agula hurried to the imperial study room to meet the emperor of Chu
Now the negotiation has entered the final stage, the proton of their grassland has been decided, it will be the second prince, but there is still no conclusion on who the Central Plains will send as the proton, and the Marquis of Anding County just said that His Majesty is already considering it, I believe that there will be a reply in five or six days, and the covenant can be signed at that time, and the two countries will enjoy eternal peace forever.
Moreover, the Marquis of Anding County also said that the martial arts competition was led by the National Chamber of Commerce, and now that the martial arts competition is imminent, he, the president of the National Business Administration, naturally has to devote all his energy to arranging the martial arts competition.
Now it seems that if you want to make a covenant with the Central Plains as soon as possible, let the Central Plains choose the proton, you must start from the source. Since the selection of the proton is determined by the emperor, it is naturally the best way to meet the emperor of Chu directly.
Inside the royal study
King Xian sat aside and took a sip of tea, looked at Emperor Chu and said, "How long will it take for Zhou's compensation to arrive?"
Chu Huangdao; "It is roughly estimated that it will take another six days."
King Xian nodded and said, "In this case, we must delay them for another six days."
Emperor Chu nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, now that the martial arts exam is coming soon, we can invite them to watch the ceremony with the martial arts exam as an excuse. Just six days is not a problem."
King Xian nodded and said, "That's good."
While the two were talking, Eunuch Wei walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the envoy of the grassland, Agula, is asking to see you outside the hall."
Emperor Chu said, "Xuan!"
Agula walked in, cupped hands bowed and said: "The foreign minister Agula has seen His Majesty the Emperor and the prince."
The Emperor Chu said, "The envoy is exempt."
Agu Laping spoke behind him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Emperor of Chu asked, "What is the purpose of the envoy meeting me today?"
Agula said: "Your Majesty, now that the covenant has been discussed and completed, your country only needs to settle on the proton. Recently, the Marquis of Anding County has been busy with the matter of martial arts, and the foreign ministers came here specially to ask His Majesty to make a decision." Let the hostage be chosen, and the covenant should be completed as soon as possible, so that the two countries can enjoy peace forever.”
Chu Huang smiled and said: "It turns out that it is like this. At the beginning, the national inventory was insufficient, so I had no choice but to hand over the martial arts to the National Chamber of Commerce. It is common sense that Xu Qing can't get away during this time. No wonder you will Come here and meet me."
The Xian King also said: "This is the first time that our country of Chu holds a martial arts exam. The grandeur of the scene is something that cannot be seen in ordinary imperial exams. The envoys may wish to watch the grand occasion of this martial arts exam in our country of Chu."
"This..." Agula hesitated.
At this moment, Chu Huang's voice came from his ear: "Who should be selected as the proton candidate?"
King Xian also said, "The envoy doesn't want to give me Chu's face?"
Agula finally said: "The foreign minister obeys the order."
When Emperor Chu heard this, he also laughed and said, "Come here! Chuan Qi Wang, Feng Wang, and Xin Wang are here."
Wei Zhong bowed his head and said, "Yes."
The Emperor of Chu said: "The envoys should step down first."
Agula shook his head and said, "The foreign ministers should stay here. When His Majesty decides on a hostage candidate, the foreign ministers can get acquainted with each other in advance and take good care of them in the grassland. The foreign ministers implore your majesty to let the foreign ministers stay and watch." Look at your highnesses."
Emperor Chu also knew that Agula's reason for staying this time was to force him to decide on a hostage earlier so that he could feel at ease.
After all, the group of hungry wolves on the prairie hadn’t seen any bloodshed for more than two months, so they must have been very restless at this time, and Agula must have been under pressure from the prairie, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to ask him to settle down. Candidates.
