The last time Xu Qing was so speechless was the last time.
The dust-cleansing banquet has just ended. Did the other party say, "Have you eaten?"
Should he answer?
Xu Qing felt that he should not answer in case others would look like a fool.
So Xu Qing chose to remain silent.
At this moment, Agula came over and explained quickly: "My second prince has just entered the Central Plains. He is still learning the etiquette and expressions of the Central Plains. Don't blame the Marquis of Anding County."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "What are you talking about, envoy? I, the Central Plains, are all inclusive, so how can I care about these things? Doesn't it seem like I, a Central Plains person, have lost my dignity?"
Agula smiled; "That's good."
Xu Qing asked: "Is there something wrong with the envoy calling me to stop?"
Agula smiled and said: "Nothing, it's just that my envoy in Chu State has to rely on the care of the Marquis of Anding County, so I would like to have a chat with the Marquis of Anding County, so as to strengthen the relationship between our grassland and your country."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "It should, it should, after all, the mountains and rivers are in different places, we cannot share the same fate... Ahem, the wind and the moon are in the same sky, it should, it should."
Agula said: "Then I will bother the Marquis of Anding County more from now on."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "What did the envoy say? We are guests from afar. We in the Central Plains should treat each other with courtesy. Why don't we just take a closer look in this capital these days. The capital of our Chu State and the surrounding places are still
There are a lot of delicacies, so you might as well try some of them.”
Agula said, "Thank you Marquis Anding County for your advice."
The second prince rubbed his belly and asked with interest: "Just now, the Marquis of Anding County said that there are many delicacies in the Central Plains. How many are there? Can you eat them all in a month?"
"One month..." Xu Qing did the math and said, "One month the second prince may not even be able to walk out of Zhuque Street."
The second prince was surprised and said: "There are so many delicacies in the Central Plains?"
Xu Qing said: "If the second prince wants to eat all the delicacies of the Central Plains, I guess... I guess he won't be able to go back in this life."
Agula looked at the second prince's eyes that were getting brighter and said quickly: "Second prince, don't delay business because of gluttony."
"Business?" The second prince came back to his senses after hearing Agula's words.
Xu Qing heard this and asked: "I wonder what the second prince means by this business? You can just leave the envoys of your country to the envoys of your country. Why do you need to do it yourself? In my opinion, the second prince is just taking care of me these days."
Traveling around the Chu country, I also felt the customs and customs of our Central Plains."
Yes, what else can the Second Prince expect him to do with his brain?
The few talents you have are all on your face, right?
Do you still expect him to do serious things?
I'm afraid it's not as good as King Qi...
Look at this face that has never seen the world.
Agula said: "The second prince is here on behalf of me, the Khan of the Grassland. Just now, the Marquis of Anding County said that although the grassland and the Central Plains are different places with different mountains and rivers, they share the same wind, moon and sky. Naturally, we can be regarded as connected by the same spirit.
"
Xu Qing smiled and said: "If the envoy has anything to say, just say it directly."
Agula said: "In this case, it is better for Grassland to become an ally with your country. From now on, we will help each other and communicate with each other."
Xu Qing said: "The alliance between the two countries is not a child's play. I am afraid this matter will take a long time to discuss."
Agula said, "To be honest with the Marquis of Anding County, I had written the alliance on the credentials submitted this time when I came here. I wonder how long the discussion on the alliance will take?"
Xu Qing said: "Take the Zhou and Zhao countries as an example. The two countries wanted to form an alliance to conquer our country, Chu. What happened? They talked for half a year but did not end up talking about it. In the end, they broke up, just like the two countries in the Central Plains.
There have been many more discussions, and there are more differences between the grassland and the Central Plains that need to be discussed, and it will probably take nearly a year."
Agula frowned and said: "One year? This... we come here with sincerity. The Marquis of Anding County is a highly valued minister of your Majesty. Wan Xiangduo can just say a few kind words."
Xu Qing nodded, with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, everything is easy to talk about. In fact, His Majesty has also entrusted me with the alliance. As long as we have the same goal and the same interests, it is not difficult to form an alliance. Maybe
The covenant can be finalized in a few months, so the messenger will be relieved."
Agula breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. If the alliance can be finalized early, I can return to the Khan earlier. When the time comes, your country will join hands with our grassland to wipe out the surrounding enemy countries and jointly dominate the world."
, isn’t it a win-win situation for both parties?”
Xiao Ruxue stood next to Xu Qing but was already worried about the fate of the grassland people.
As the person who has been with Xu Qing for the second longest time, she has long understood Xu Qing's characteristics and strengths.
Xu Qing smiled and lost the money!
Seeing Xu Qing smiling so happily now, who knows how much money the grassland will lose this time...
I still want to form an alliance with them, the Chu State, so go ahead and dream!
No, I couldn’t even dream of it, hum!
…
Xu Qing and Agula chatted while walking. It could be seen that Agula and Xu Qing chatted very happily, and Xu Qing also chatted with Agula very happily.
Even Agula felt that if he continued with this attitude, it would not take even a month for the two countries to conclude an alliance, let alone a few months.
As long as the two countries form an alliance and the Chu State does not interfere with the grassland's conquest of the Zhou State, then the chances of winning the battle between the grassland and the Zhou State will be greatly increased.
And this is just his conservative estimate.
What is Agula's further consideration?
That is to attack Zhou State together with Chu State.
Agula feels that the success rate of this plan is still very high, at least 80%.
Last year, the Zhou State took advantage of the weakness of the Chu State to declare war on the Chu State, and even intended to form an alliance to start a war with the Chu State. However, who knew that the Chu State's national treasury could actually sustain this battle, and even the next week?
Two cities of the country.
Nowadays, the people of Chu are scolding Zhou for his lack of martial ethics. Seven out of ten people think that Zhou is a despicable villain. The battle last year should have pushed the army all the way to Zhou.
Under the capital, let’s see if they dare to do it again.
Since the people of Chu are already quite dissatisfied with Zhou, then why is it impossible for Chu to carve up Zhou with their grasslands?
As long as they eliminate the Zhou Kingdom, the grasslands will have wider land, especially the land in the Central Plains that is suitable for farming. Will their grasslands still worry about food?
What is even more beneficial to them is that the grassland will be able to border Zhao State.
Although Chu State has always had a tough attitude in diplomacy because of its strong military force and refused to suffer any losses, Zhao State is notoriously easy to bully!
Even Agula felt that as long as they were on the border with Zhao State, they didn't even need to attack the grassland. If they ordered a few thousand cavalry to roam around the Zhao State's border, Zhao State would obediently pay them.
