Chapter 285(1/3)
In the duty room, Sun Shi was sitting peacefully.
Han Bi hurried in, "That idiot Peng Jing was so smart that he got slapped in the face last night."
Sun Shi asked: "What methods did he use?"
"Competing cultivation." Han Bi sat down and said sarcastically: "Everyone knows that Chongwen of the Southern Zhou Dynasty took a different approach. Who knew that the envoy had a follower, and he was a stupid follower, and his Majesty was taken away.
The guard was beaten until he vomited blood."
"Such methods may seem unexpected, but they are just tricks after all." Sun Shi said, "What's the next step?"
"Previously, the deputy envoy of the mission went to find Fei Luo, and there was a dispute. The deputy envoy was so tricky that Fei Luo couldn't help but take action..."
"Tricky tongue?"
"Fei Luo said that she is more cunning than the women in the market."
The street woman's quarrel skills are considered to be the best in the world, even worse than this...
"Fei Luo didn't lose, right?"
"Fei Luo's face is almost ruined..."
"What the hell is this!" Sun Shi couldn't laugh or cry.
Han Bi sighed: "We just gained the upper hand last night and went to seek our bad luck this morning. The timing was just right and the envoy was a good one."
Sun Shi said: "It is said that he is a warrior?"
Han Bi nodded, with a look of contempt in his eyes, "Those thieves are supporting the army."
The status of warriors in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was low, so Han Bi's words did not surprise Sun Shi at all.
"Peng Jing's side..."
"Our people just impeached."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty asked us to take over this matter."
"What do you think?"
"If you continue to rely on force, even if you win, it will be humiliating. The envoy can leave with his head held high. In this case, I think we should change our approach."
"What method?"
"Their confrontation with Fei Luo today is just the beginning. Next, they will find me and go all the way to His Majesty. They will not withdraw their troops until they are defeated."
"Until Nan Zhou apologizes or promises not to do this again." Sun Shi's face was cold.
"Yes, so I am going to let them out."
"What's the meaning?"
"The current life of the Tang Dynasty is not easy, and there are many refugees in various places. Therefore, let them go to various places in the Southern Zhou Dynasty to see the prosperity of the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
Sun Shi thought for a moment, "Let them see the power of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and give up the idea of coercion?"
"Yes, this is called... subduing the enemy without fighting." Han Bi said with a smile.
"Fei Luo can't follow me anymore, who do you think is suitable?"
"The Minister of Rites, Wang Zhong."
"good."
…
"Your Majesty."
Wang Zhong, the Minister of Rites, was a bit more refined and polite than Fei Luo.
"Wang Shilang."
The two smiled and exchanged a few words.
"By the way, I would also like to invite you gentlemen, who is free?"
Sure enough, it came... Wang Zhong smiled and said: "There is no rush in this matter. Since we have come to Southern Zhou Dynasty, we should go and see everywhere."
"Looking around?"
"Yes, look around."
…
The next day, Zhang Ruo and two hundred cavalry were left behind, and the mission set off.
Originally, Yang Xuan wanted to travel with cavalry, but Wang Zhong said that he would bring 300 cavalry.
Guests and hosts did as they pleased, so Yang Xuan set off with members of the mission and twenty guards led by Wu Da.
Spring is blooming and autumn is harvesting, the flowers are blooming along the way and the scenery is pleasant.
The weather in the south is good, and you can see countless fertile fields on both sides of the road. At this moment, farmers are working in the fields, and there are children running back and forth, followed by their dogs, making a mess of each other.
Wang Zhong pointed to the field on the left, "You can easily get two crops a year here."
This is also one of the reasons for the prosperity of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Qin Jian looked at these fields almost greedily, and whispered to Cheng Ran: "If the Tang Dynasty could have such fertile fields, it would dominate the world."
Cheng Ran nodded.
At this moment, Yang Xuan also knew the reason why the Northern Liao Dynasty could not sit back and watch the Tang Dynasty attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
It’s never about pay!
If the Northern Liao Dynasty sat back and watched the Tang Dynasty capture the Southern Zhou Dynasty and sit on these sacred lands, the national power would expand rapidly. By then, the manpower of the Tang Dynasty plus the money and food of the Southern Zhou Dynasty...
He Lianfeng was afraid that he wanted to jump into the river.
Many things that I didn't understand before were suddenly clear to me after seeing the power of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles!
Yang Xuan looked at the reserved kings and thought that this person probably didn't expect what this trip would bring to Southern Zhou.
Southern Zhou Dynasty!
Must be destroyed!
On the road, there was a constant stream of carriages and horses, and the merchants were dressed in gorgeous clothes, even their crotches were covered with hair, and their heads and manes were decorated with decorations.
"Busty scene." Yang Xuan praised.
Wang Zhong smiled, "It's just ordinary."
According to Han Bi's arrangement, this trip with the Tang Dynasty delegation was a deterrent trip.
Let them see the power of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and feel timid.
Yuan Xiao, the accompanying official doctor, pointed to the members of the envoy who looked like country bumpkins and said with a smile: "Look, Mr. Wang, these people have seen the power of our Southern Zhou Dynasty, but do they still dare to think like that?"
"We have people and money and food. If the Tang Dynasty dares to come, we must be prepared to have our teeth broken." Wang Zhong said proudly.
"A million-strong army is waiting for the enemy." Yuan Xiao said happily: "What a great move by Prime Minister Han!"
Both of them were from the New Deal faction, and their conversation was more cordial and less fearful.
"Peng Jing and the others messed up the banquet, and we have to clean up the mess." Wang Zhong said: "Xiangong Sun and the others are planning to seize important positions in the Third Division this time, so this trip must be perfect. If successful, we will get the Third Division,
Only when money and food are in hand can the New Deal be launched."
"no problem."
The group of people gradually moved away from Bianliang.
A few days later, when passing by a village, Yang Xuan wanted to go in and have a look.
"Your Majesty, the people in the countryside are ignorant and inconvenient." With a look from the local accompanying official, the kings understood and knew that there were some problems in this village.
Yang Xuan smiled and did not ask further questions.
He was born in the countryside and knows these tricks very well.
Qin Jian came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, is there a problem?"
Yang Xuan took a look at the village and said, "The weather is nice. Usually at this time, the old people in the village like to come to the entrance of the village to chat. It is also a pastime. But if you look at this village, it is deserted. There is probably something wrong with it."
Qin Jian looked carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
"Look at those dogs again. The dogs in the village will bark when they see outsiders, but they run back with their tails between their legs."
"What does this mean?" Qin Jian was confused.
"There have been incidents in the village that have frightened even these dogs."
"What's the matter?"
"Dogs must guard the house, otherwise they are stupid dogs. Farmers do not keep useless dogs. The only thing that can make them like this is blood and killing."
Wang Zhong asked the local magistrate on the other side.
