Liu Bang picked between his teeth with a toothpick, and spit out two words inarticulately: "hostage" Although the "hostage" Su Qin had expected it, he still showed a surprised expression.
Liu Bang swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Of course I want hostages, I helped Alexander and Xiang Yu repel the Han army, if they come back and bite me again, wouldn't I have lost all those who have formed alliances since ancient times, and the weak side must send hostages to the strong side to show sincerity, my request is not too much."
Liu Bang's approach has been around for a long time, strictly speaking, it is not too much, but Su Qin said helplessly: "King Alexander has several children, he may be able to agree to this condition, but King Xiang has no children and no daughters under his knees, even if he has a heart, he is powerless."
The corners of Liu Bang's mouth twitched: "Then let Xiang Yu send his wife."
"Lord Zai Heng, if you know anything about King Xiang, you should have heard the story of him and Princess Yu, the Han girl Yu Wanbai admired the name of King Xiang, traveled thousands of miles from Jingzhou in the Han Dynasty, trekked through mountains and rivers to Daxia, and fell in love with King Xiang at first sight.
It's just that God is not beautiful, the husband and wife have lived for many years, but there are no heirs so far, Princess Yu has persuaded King Xiang to take a concubine many times, but she has been refused, the relationship between husband and wife is like this, Lord Zai Heng thinks that King Xiang will agree to send Princess Yu to Rome as a hostage" Su Qin Chang shook his head to the ground and explained to Liu Bang earnestly.
Liu Bang spat and spit on the ground with a toothpick: "Of course I know that Xiang Yu has a deep affection for Yu Ji, otherwise why should I bring her here Liu Xuande has a good saying, brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, if Xiang Yu has no feelings for Yu Ji and goes back to find a new love, what is the value of me coming to Yu Ji" Su Qin couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Lord Zai Heng is far away in Rome, and he even knows that Liu Xuande said this."
Liu Bang clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said thoughtfully: "Liu Xuande's words are known to the world, not only I, a Han man, is like thunder, even if I am a native of Rome, it is also regarded as a wise saying, I heard that he called himself Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, and I am also a family, I appreciate his life, I was going to send someone to Yizhou to contact him, but I didn't expect to be assassinated by you Liu Feng, let me say good."
Su Qin hurriedly explained: "Lord Zai Heng, don't believe the rumors, I will try my best to fight for Liu Bei's alliance with the Luoyang Imperial Court, how could I assassinate him At the beginning, I gave the poison to Liu Bei and asked him to wait for the opportunity to poison Liu Wei, but I didn't expect that in the end, Liu Bei was poisoned to death."
It is rumored in the world that I bought Liu Feng to poison Liu Bei, which is definitely a rumor that the three of them have become tigers."
Although Liu Bang looked like a hanger, his brain was extremely bright, and he immediately clarified his head: "You used poison to trick Liu Bei into poisoning Liu Bei, Liu Bei asked his son Liu Feng to poison him, but Liu Feng poisoned Liu Bei to death in turn, and it was a big show, our old Liu family really knows how to play, and I want to break my wrist with Liu Bian's grandson more and more."
Su Qin nodded: "This Liu Wei is insidious and cunning, ruthless, greedy for money and lustful, selling his reputation and reputation, and has attracted a large number of civil ministers and military generals to sell his life to him, which is simply like a rainbow, sweeping all countries."
Therefore, Lord Zai Heng must unite with all the princes in the rest of the country, as well as Cao Wei and Li Tang, in order to defeat Liu Wei and save the people of the Han Dynasty from fire and water."
Liu Bang slapped his thigh: "Okay, I agree to form an alliance with Alexander and Xiang Yu, but you have to let Xiang Yu send his wife, or I want to do something."
Su Qin was speechless for a moment, he had nothing to say to this old rascal, he wasted so many lips and tongues, and his feelings were to play the piano to the cow, Liu Bang didn't listen to a word, and still went his own way.
"Lord Zaiheng, I am seventy percent sure that I will persuade Alexander to send his children to Rome.
But let King Xiang send Yu Ji to Rome, but he is not half sure, please Zai Heng to take back his fate and change the conditions" Liu Bang's head shook like a rattle: "I only have this one condition, if Xiang Yu does not agree, this alliance will be stopped, and there is a fabler named Aesop in ancient Greece who wrote a story about a farmer and a snake, I don't want to be a farmer who has a good heart and suffers evil retribution."
Xiang Yu is a tiger and wolf, if there is no weakness in his hands, how can I believe him" Su Qin argued: "Lord Zai Heng and Xiang Yu formed an alliance not only to help rest in peace, but also to avoid a situation where the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
If the Han army annexes Anxi, its national strength will be unprecedentedly strong, and it will not be able to resist even if it is full of Roman power."
Xiang Yu picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, and swallowed it into his stomach with a "grunt": "You don't bluff me here, do you think that I, Liu Bang, can be the Zaiheng of Rome, and will be as easy to deceive as a three-year-old child, won't I be a spectator from the wall, and wait until the Han army and Anxibi are both defeated and reaped the benefits of the fisherman?"
Luo Shixin, who was standing behind Liu Bang, was nine feet five inches tall, with a big shoulder and a round waist, and a simple face, and couldn't help but interject angrily at this moment: "My father-in-law said it too well, maybe the rest of the people and the Han people fought and beaten, and in the end, they were all killed, and we can take down the entire rest without blood, and counterattack Guishan."
Liu Bang stretched his shoulders towards Su Qin: "Look, even my humble son understands this truth, do you think your alarmist words can bluff me?"
"Dare to ask who this is" Su Qin was taken aback by Luo Shixin's burly figure as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't find a chance to ask for his name.
Luo Shixin patted his chest and said, "My name is Luo Shixin, and Lord Zai Heng is my father-in-law."
Liu Bang said proudly: "Don't look at the scholar, he has an honest face, but he is not stupid at all, his strength and martial arts are unrivaled in the entire Roman Empire, and I even think that his martial arts can challenge Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba." ” Su Qin nodded and said, "General Luo is burly and majestic, and if you think about it, you will definitely have the ability to be invincible to ten thousand people."
It's just that the fierce generals of the Han army are like clouds, and there are a large number of fierce generals such as Li Cunxiao, Wen Chengdu, Gao Chong, Ran Min, Huang Feihu, etc., who are slightly inferior to Li Yuanba, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support General Luo alone, so please Zai Heng must unite with King Xiang to jointly overthrow Liu Wei's tyranny. ” Liu Bang nodded: "Prime Minister Su Cheng looked at what you said, didn't I agree to the alliance from the beginning, but Xiang Yu must send Yu Ji to Rome, otherwise there is no need to talk" "If Zai Heng insists on this, Su Yu is afraid that he can't help" Su Qin shook his head to the ground, looking powerless.
Liu Bang got up with a smile and patted Su Qin's shoulder: "Prime Minister Su, I know that you are a vertical and horizontal family, and only by promoting the alliance will you find the value of your life."
So you will definitely try your best to convince Xiang Yu to send Yu Ji to Rome, I believe you."
"If King Xiang is replaced by someone else, Su Qin may be able to give it a try, but for King Xiang, I'm afraid it's impossible" Su Qin shook his head and made a look of turning around to leave, "It seems that I am destined to get nothing when I come to Rome this time." ” Liu Bang laughed: "Why is Prime Minister Su in such a hurry, I haven't finished my words yet, there is Su Qin with the seal of the Six Kingdoms, if you can promote the anti-Liu alliance this time, I Liu Bang will also let you wear the Roman seal, and set up a special position for you as prime minister." ” Listening to Liu Bang's words, Su Qin's face couldn't help but move and stopped.
Liu Bang continued: "Rome, Cao Wei, Li Tang and all the princes in the rest of the territory have formed an alliance, in terms of strength, I Liu Bang is second to none, I ask to be the leader of the alliance, it is not too much, if I Liu Bang is the leader of the alliance, I will appoint you to wear the seals of various countries, and your achievements will definitely far surpass that of your predecessors Su Qin and become the first vertical and horizontal family in the world."
Su Qin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I originally came to persuade Lord Zai Heng, but I didn't expect to be persuaded by Lord Zai Heng, so I'll go back to Daxia to try to persuade King Xiang, if I can succeed, I will succeed, and if I can't, I will return to Luoyang." ” Liu Bang showed a sinister smile: "Don't, Prime Minister Su is rare, if Xiang Yu doesn't know how to lift, it doesn't matter, if you go back to Rome, I will still keep the big seal of the Roman Prime Minister for you."
It's just that you have to hurry, if it's late, I'm afraid that your Luoyang court will be wiped out."
"Please prepare a few good horses for me, and I will go to Great Xia to see King Xiang now."
Su Qin thought for a moment and made a request.
Liu Bang agreed: "There are dozens of good horses in my stable, which can travel five hundred miles a day, I will select a few to give to Prime Minister Su Cheng, go quickly."
Liu Bang immediately set up a banquet to entertain Su Qin, and after he was full of wine and food, Su Qin rode on the good horse given by Liu Bang and took several entourages to embark on the journey back to Great Xia. t1706231537:
