Chapter 1734 Frog at the Bottom of the Well
"Didn't you say that the Qin people will help us? But why did they put us under house arrest?" The young man who spoke seemed anxious.
There was an elderly man standing in front of him.
The elderly said with no certainty: "This, maybe they are not sure about our identity!" The young man snorted, "Uncertain identity? I have given them all the sword and scepter, but I am not sure about my identity? I think they must have bad intentions! This time I was in trouble. I just escaped from the prince's claws, but plunged into the group of evil wolves of the Qin people!" At this moment, a follower rushed in. The young man shouted angrily: "Why are you doing in a hurry!"
The entourage was startled and reported: "Your Majesty, the Qin people have sent someone!" When he heard this, the young man and the older man couldn't help but lit up his eyes. The young man hurriedly said, "Please!" The entourage shouted and ran down. The young man tidied up his clothes and made his head. The older man also raised his expression.
The follower led a man in Hanfu into the hall. The man looked at the young man who pretended to be majestic and couldn't help but feel funny. This person was Sima Yi, the chief of the Western Regions who had received the order from Chen Chu to Dong'anzhou not long ago.
The elderly pointed to the young man with the head and said proudly: "This is our King of Malva!" Sima Yi smiled and nodded. The two present frowned together. The elderly shouted unhappily: "Why don't you kneel when you see Your Majesty?" Sima Yi laughed, his laughter was full of mockery, and he glanced at the other party, "It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet! Since that's the case, then stay for a few more days before talking!" He turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but panic.
The old man hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, please stay! Didn't you come to negotiate with us?" Sima Yi turned around, looked at the two of them, and said bluntly: "You must figure out something that you are nothing now. Don't think that you can enjoy any privileges in my Great Qin Empire. If your Majesty mercy, you may give some rewards!"
The young man's face changed a lot. The old man's face was also very ugly. The young man snorted coldly and said in a proud tone: "We are vast and rich in resources and have strong military strength! You Qin State may not be stronger than us!" Sima Yi was stunned and laughed: "The frog in the well, Ye Lang is arrogant!"
Although the young man did not understand the meaning of these two idioms very well, he could clearly feel the other party's contempt. He couldn't help but be furious, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "You dare to look down on us!" Sima Yi sneered: "People will humiliate themselves and then humiliate them! It seems that it is necessary to give you a long experience! I had long expected that you, the barbarians, did not know the greatness of the world!" He clapped his hands.
Several soldiers waiting outside immediately carried a roll of maps in. Sima Yi asked them to open the map, and immediately presented a map that reflected the entire Eurasian continent and North Africa. This map is a rough map and is not very detailed in details.
After Sima Yi arrived in Dong'anzhou, he learned some words and deeds about the old and the young, and knew that the other party was arrogant. In order to make the negotiation smooth, he specially asked Li Pojun to prepare a sketch of the universe. This sketch of the universe, as the name suggests, reflects the situation of the land that the Qin people have identified. This sketch of the universe is already very common in the territory of the Great Qin Empire. Some wealthy families have more than one. In the past, all maps were military secrets and ordinary families could not have it. The court of the Great Qin Empire believed that this sketch of the map did not reflect the specific mountains, rivers and landforms, and could make the people more intuitively know the mighty and prosperity of the Great Qin Empire. Therefore, the sketch of the Qiankun was allowed to be issued nationwide, and it was also allowed to be issued by the protectors and other vassal states.
"What is this?" the young man asked curiously. The old man's eyes were full of curiosity. Sima Yi said, "This is a map about the entire earth!" The two of them looked surprised and looked at them with interest.
"Do you want to know where you Malva and several other countries?" Sima Yi asked with a smile.
The young man nodded and said hopefully: "Tell me quickly! I think we Malva must be one of the most powerful countries!"
Sima Yi smiled and pointed to a 'little tail' in the southeast corner of the map.
The young man and the old man were stunned for a moment, and Nian shouted in disbelief: "You won't want to say that we Malva are only a little bit!" "No~~!" The young man and the old man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Sima Yi cut them down and almost fainted. "I mean, you and several other countries are only a little bit together!"
The old and the young were stunned for a while, and His Majesty King Malva screamed at the top of his voice: "You are talking nonsense, this is impossible!" He looked very hit, and the expression on his face was very wonderful, as if he was beaten for more than a dozen times.
Sima Yi smiled and said, "This is common sense on the mainland, I'm afraid you are the only one who doesn't know it! Besides, do I need to tease you in this matter?"
The two of them were silent for a long time, and they stopped as if they had defeated a rooster. The old prime minister saluted respectfully, "I don't know what to call this sir?"
Sima Yi smiled and nodded, "Sima Yi, the chief of the Western Regions of the Great Qin Empire!"
"How old are you Qin?" the young King Malva suddenly asked, as if he was still worried.
Sima Yi pointed to the thick black on the map that covered nearly half of the map and smiled: "These black areas are the territory of our Great Qin Empire! And those white ones are the vassal states of our Great Qin Empire!"
The two opened their mouths in surprise, and the young King Malva trembled gently, which was so shocking that he never dreamed that there would be a country so powerful! It covered almost the entire eastern land, how brilliant it would be!
"I wonder what the official rank of the Great Qin Empire is?" Lao Chengxiang is worried now that the other party sent to contact him is not worth enough, so he also blames him for such concern. Malva is too small compared to the Great Qin Empire. Even if the governor of a state in the Great Qin Empire is afraid that the territory he controls can be compared with the entire Malva.
Sima Yi smiled and said, "I am the chief minister of the Western Regions of the Great Qin Empire. If I have an official rank, I am the second rank." Seeing that the other party still didn't understand very well, I changed my opinion, "You are the Prime Minister of Malva, and my official rank is basically the same!"
Hearing Sima Yi's explanation, the young and old couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Prime Minister performed a traditional etiquette at Sima Yi and introduced himself: "My name is Kikan, and I am the Prime Minister of Malva! This is our king, Liert!"
Sima Yi nodded and asked directly: "His Royal Highness escaped here. It seems that there has been a drastic change in your country?"
Kikan sighed and nodded, "Prince Ledellon and the Interior Minister Cliff launched a mutiny. His Majesty and I escaped by chance in the night!"
"What are your plans? Do you want to seek asylum from our Great Qin Empire or ~~~?"
Liert clenched his fists and shouted, "I must pay them!"
Kikan begged Sima Yi: "Sir, we ask the Qin Empire to send troops to gang leader us!" Liert looked at Sima Yi, his face full of hope.
Sima Yi hesitated and said, "I cannot decide on the conquest, I must report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire! You are here for the time being!"
Kikan thought the other party deliberately asked his side to offer a offer, and hurriedly said: "As long as your country can help our Majesty restore the throne, we can ced the two western provinces to your country!" The combined area of the two provinces in Kikan's mouth is less than an ordinary county in the Qin Empire.
Sima Yi smiled and said, "This condition~~~" shook his head.
The two were startled and Liert frowned and said, "Is this condition not enough?"
Sima Yi smiled and said, "Our Qin Empire doesn't want your territory, this is really nothing to us!~~~"
The two of them subconsciously glanced at the map beside them and smiled bitterly. Kikan said in embarrassment: "In this case, I'm afraid we won't be able to produce something more valuable!"
Sima Yi said: "If you open up the market in full and give preferential policies to the merchants of the Qin Empire, I can help you convince Your Majesty!"
The two were stunned.
Sima Yi asked with a smile, "What? No?"
The two of them shook their heads quickly, and Liert hurriedly said, "We'll make up for it!" Judging from his posture, he seemed to be afraid that Sima Yi would regret it. Perhaps in his opinion, this condition was really fine.
Sima Yi came out of the yard, looked back, laughed mockingly, got on the carriage, "Go back now!"
The carriage carried Sima Yi straight towards the local capital.
Not long after, the Luoyang Cabinet received a letter from Sima Yi. After some consultation, the Cabinet made a decision and immediately sent it to Dong'anzhou and Assyria, and at the same time passed the copy to the emperor Chen Chu who was on the journey. Chen Chu had already explained before that the Cabinet decided on this matter and there was no need to ask him for instructions.
King Liert of Malva and Kekan, Cheng and rural Kikan, waited anxiously for several days, and finally waited for a reply.
Sima Yi smiled and said to them: "Our Great Qin Empire agrees to help you!"
The two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Liert stretched his neck and looked behind Sima Yi, and asked anxiously: "Where is your army?"
Sima Yi smiled and said, "Because the journey is long, it will take about ten days!"
Neilt looked a little impatient.
