Chapter 721 Sharpening the Knife

Wu Nian had no good feelings for the Queen Mother of Goguryeo.

But the two sides did not meet each other or broke up. Now he has driven the power of Chu back to Shanhaiguan. His main energy is to deal with the Mongolian Yuan people.

Goguryeo is a regional power.

Even if we want to avenge the blockade of food, we have to rank behind the Mongols.

Restoring Liaodong and expelling the Tartars.

Let's get this big thing done first.

"Who is the envoy?" Wu Nian raised the curtain of the car and asked at the officials riding on horseback.

"Report to the general. It is Cao Zhenglang Chen Chengfu. He is currently drinking tea in the living room." The official replied truthfully.

"It's still an old acquaintance." Wu Nian's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"I understand." Wu Nian waved his right hand to the horse riding official first and asked him to go down. Then he found a personal soldier and ordered: "Go and tell him about this matter. Let him wait a moment and go to the envoy with me."

"Yes." The personal soldier responded with his fists and rode his horse away.

Immediately, the large group of people continued to go to Jiang County. Long Qi, who was riding horses next to Wu Nian's carriage, listened to the incident passively.

After thinking for a while, he said to Wu Nian: "General. After these days of training, six soldiers guarding 10,000 households have already gained their roots in Liaodong and have combat power."

"We sharpened our swords and were about to fight to the death with the Mongols and Yuan people. The Goguryeo people were fucked. What do they mean?"

Long Qi held the horse's reins in his hand, his face covered with gloom, and he looked anxious.

There were many people here in Wu Nian who had a grudge against the Mongols. Wei Ru and the Mongols had a deep hatred for blood, and they wanted to kill all the Mongols who had seen him.

Long Qi's whole family was killed by the Mongols.

"Stay calm down. Don't think too much. What does Goguryeo mean? I will only know when I meet. But no matter what, brothers. Our purpose will never change. We will pay for blood debts. When I started my 300 elite soldiers, I am still afraid that they will not succeed. The soldiers will block the water and the soil. If Goguryeo has any bad intentions, slaughter it."

Wu Nian heard that Long Qi was in a bad mood, so he opened the curtain and comforted him.

"Yeah." Long Jian said huh, calming down a little.

Wu Nian's words contained powerful power, which convinced him very much.

The large group of people entered Jiang County and then stopped in front of the gate of the General Fu Han Mansion. The lieutenants left, and the important officials entered the General Fu Han Mansion and went to work on their own affairs.

Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing got off the carriage together, and under the guidance of officials, they arrived in a living room.

Chen Chengfu sat on the first magistrate chair on the right, drinking tea in a quiet expression, and an official sat opposite him and spoke with him.

"General. Lord Liu."

The official stood up and bowed to Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing.

"Well. Thank you for your hard work. You can go down first." Wu Young nodded lightly and said.

"Yes." The official responded, clasped his fists at Chen Chengfu first, and turned around. Wu Nian came to the main seat and sat down with a big golden sword.

Liu Zhixing sat in the official position just now.

Chen Chengfu stood up and took a deep look at Wu Nian. When he came last time, Wu Nian was still a seedling, and whether he could stand up is still a question.

Time flies. Wu Nian in front of him is the real general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty, the lord of the three palaces, holding eighteen thousand soldiers in his hand.

In terms of the number of soldiers, they are almost the same as their Goguryeo.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager planned to recruit Wu Nian, lure him for profit, move him for emotion, and explain him for reason. Now the status of both sides is equal.

And embarrassingly, they joined the plan of the Mongols and the Yuan people, blocked the food during the drought, intending to kill Wu Nian.

As a result, Wu Nian not only survived, but also became stronger and stronger.

"General. I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still glorious. It's so gratifying." Chen Chengfu took a deep breath, clasped his fists and greeted him.

"The same is true for Mr. Chen. Time has not left any traces on Mr. Chen." Wu Young nodded lightly and exchanged a gentle greeting. Then he went straight into the room: "Mr. Chen. The last time your empress dowager sent you to recruit me. This time, what was her intention?"

Chen Chengfu bent down and saluted very simply, and said sincerely: "General, the Empress Dowager sent me here for the sake of drought."

"The prohibition of food exports was not the original intention of the Queen Mother. It was the coercion of the Mongols. The Queen Mother specially sent me to apologize to the general and explain the whole story."

"In addition, to express my apology, the Empress Dowager specially asked me to bring me a gift. This is a gift list. Please ask the general to take a look." Chen Chengfu stretched out his right hand, took out a fold from the left sleeve, and bent over and held it respectfully in front of him.

Liu Zhixing stood up, took the note from Chen Chengfu and handed it over to Wu Nian.

The light flashed in Wu Nian's eyes. After reaching out to take the gift list, he looked at it with all his eyes.

Dongzhu, beauties, horses, Korean ginseng, etc. are all precious things that cannot be used immediately.

"It's better to give me a million kilogram of grain or silver." Wu Nian sneered in his heart, but as the saying goes, he won't hit people with a smile.

He closed the note gently, and said with a very polite attitude, "So that's how it is." As he said that, he stood up and sighed: "The Mongolian Yuan people are strong, and their soldiers are as strong as the sun, so they should not be looked at."

"The queen mother orphan and widowed mother can only obey the meaning of the Mongol Yuan people. I understand it very well."

"I have received the gift. I will send someone to the inn to rest. I will wait until tomorrow. I will write a letter myself, so I will take the gift back to Goguryeo and present it to the Queen Mother for a review."

Chen Chengfu's mission was completed and he immediately let out a long sigh. He showed joy between his eyebrows and bowed his subordinates and said, "Thank you for being magnanimous, General."

Wu Nian nodded with a smile, then called an official in and sent Chen Chengfu down to rest.

"Zhixing. What do you think?" Wu Nian put the gift list on the coffee table like garbage, looked up and asked Liu Zhixing.

"That empress dowager is capable of stabilizing the court. Goguryeo has nearly 200,000 combat soldiers and is also quite capable."

"But it was a woman after all, and she was much weaker than the Mongols. She used to block the export of food to us by hearing the Mongols. Now she felt that the general was strong and showed her sharpness. She sent someone to sincerely apologize. She was fence-bearing, and both sides were falling. This is normal."

Liu Zhixing pondered for a while and looked up and said.

"Well. Goguryeo has strength, but not absolute strength. A small country has flexible diplomacy, which is also a way to survive."

Wu Nian's idea coincided with Liu Zhixing's, and he nodded and said.

But he did not intend to forgive the empress dowager for the drought blockade of food, but he almost starved to death millions of people in Liaodong.

But she is very sensible, but she saves a lot of trouble.

Let's leave it for now.

Let’s talk about it after restoring Liaodong and expelling the Tartars.

Thinking of this, Wu Nian showed a serious look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Knowledge and do. I just said a few words to Long You."

"He said we can sharpen our knife now."
