Chapter 176 The gentleman examines my body three times
Such a detailed and thoughtful reception made Zhao Xi wary.
This is almost the same as what our own transfer yamen does, and even more thoughtful than what the transfer yamen does.
How can it be?
It is possible to know the prince, Di Qing, Lu Gongzhu and other teachings, and even know the number of guard camps. But in Dali, even the soldiers' camps are arranged quite appropriately.
Reconnaissance? Impossible! Along the way, the escort battalion almost surveyed the entire march within five miles.
Careful work? If Dali intends to send careful work to Guangnan, it means that he has been coveting Guangnan for a long time, which is contrary to the sincerity of welcoming him now.
Is it possible that there are officials from Guangnan who are having an affair here?
Zhao Xi thought about it carefully and found out that from Yongzhou down to the magistrate, except for Zhao Zhan who surrendered to Nong Zhigao, there was no one alive.
As for Guizhou, who is so far away that would specifically collude with Dali?
I really can't figure it out.
"Tell the soldiers to be on guard! I always think this is strange."
After gathering together and analyzing for a long time, every possibility was rejected.
There is no other way but to be on guard.
"Your Highness, could it be Yizhou?"
"Yizhou?"
Zhao Xi didn't understand what this had to do with Yizhou.
They came from Guangnan and did not take the Yizhou road... Wait... Dali has always had good relations with Guochao, so Yizhou cannot be separated.
Just like Nong Zhigao always wanted to be attached, Chen Gong from Yongzhou ignored him.
It’s really possible!
"Go on!"
Han Zhen's suggestion is very reasonable.
"The exchanges between Dali and the state were all through Yizhou. Zhang Fangping and Fan Xiang were on good terms with each other. Although Yizhou was demoted, he still tried to implement the Qingli policy."
"I heard that over the years, Zhang Fangping knew Yizhou and often purchased war horses with Dali for the use of the Western Army."
now it's right.
Presumably, when the Southern Expeditionary Army defeated Nong Zhigao, Dali had already heard about it. Immediately afterwards, Wang's division went deep into Annan, set fire everywhere, and defeated Annan's soldiers on the border and captured them.
Dali knew that he had made a mistake in Nong Zhigao's rebellion in Guangnan, and because of his fear of Wang Shi, he expressed his goodwill to the court in advance.
All battle reports of the Southern Expeditionary Army will be sent to the various military prefectures.
It is certain that Zhang Fangping knew the situation of the Southern Expedition. Then, it is still possible that when Dali went to Bianliang, he passed by Yizhou and Zhang Fangping gave him some advice.
Alas! It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves!
Almost, what Zhao Xi thinks is almost the same as the truth.
Dali was really under pressure, both external and internal. So it had to issue an official document, agreeing that Nong Zhigao could temporarily live in Yuanjiang if he was defeated.
As for what Dali proposed, once Nong Zhigao succeeds, both sides will send troops to destroy Nong Zhigao and divide Guangnan... he didn't think about it at all.
No, Nong Zhigao couldn't accomplish anything. Within a year, he ran away, and he really went to Yuanjiang.
As a result, the Song Dynasty did not give up. When the Song army attacked Annan, Dali quickly prepared generous gifts...from the officials of Yizhou to the ministers in the court, as well as tributes from the entire country.
He hurried to the Song Dynasty, hoping to get a forgiveness edict from the Song Dynasty court before the Song army attacked Dali.
Passing by Yizhou, Zhang Fangping gave a few pointers for the sake of generous gifts, and the current situation of border reception was established.
"How many soldiers can the camp support?"
"About fifteen thousand."
Yes! No need to think about it, it must be Zhang Fangping.
Guangnan was destroyed, and after the Western Army's expedition, 5,000 Western troops were retained. This was an agreement made by the court before the Southern Expedition.
Zhang Fangping also knows this.
It’s boring! It’s really boring!
Zhao Xi suddenly felt inexplicably irritable and waved his hand to let everyone disperse.
He just couldn't figure it out. In any case, their attack on Annan in the south and Dali in the west were all major events, and strictly speaking they were classified.
In order to show your gentlemanly style, can you actually show off this kind of thing? Aren't you worried that the lives of thousands of soldiers will be ruined?
It’s also that Dali can’t bear evil intentions... Well, you Zhang Fangping understands Dali, so they won’t have evil intentions!
Zhao Xi could only make excuses for Zhang Fangping. Otherwise, he would have really wanted to drag out the grandson and kick him hard.
It's not that Zhao Xi just likes fighting. It's best to achieve his goals in a peaceful way. The problem is that Zhang Fangping's behavior makes him disgusted and even a little disgusted.
Seeing the big from the small, Zhao Xi had to infer that the scholar-bureaucrats in the entire dynasty, especially those who regarded themselves as gentlemen, would behave in the same way when encountering a situation like Zhang Fangping's.
Is it hard to get back? It’s hard to get back!
"Brother, Qinglan shouldn't insist on killing Nong Zhigao!"
Zhao Qinglan was unhappy when Zhao Xi came back, and thought she was having trouble killing Nong Zhigao.
"Oh... Qinglan, it's okay. It's not that. It's just that my brother is worried about something."
The little girl can be so strong without her family. Why should I be discouraged just because of this?
After watching these years, I already know what the situation is like in the country. This is...
Alas! Annan's guerrilla tactics and Annan's compromises and concessions have made him somewhat inflated. Even entering Dali like this this time is very inappropriate.
A gentleman should examine himself three times... Hey, I consider myself a gentleman too!
…
The work of an envoy is more troublesome than fighting. Everyone comes to see him with a face on his face. Zhao Xi can't receive him with a face tied up. He has to give in to others for their own reasons.
No, at dawn, Zhao Xi started to receive people.
First came the Duan family, Duan Lianyi, and his sister.
He first explained the reason for the letter with the royal seal, and then began to elaborate on the difficulty of being the master of Dali. He also talked about the disloyalty of each family, and sincerely expressed his loyalty to the suzerain country.
It's not easy to hold the throne, so you don't have to do it! At worst, the country will be governed by a military state.
But Zhao Xi can't say that. The current state of the country is in a situation where it is difficult to protect itself. How can he have the energy to interfere in other people's affairs?
Therefore, we can only give lip service to sympathy and say: If there is an accident, as the sovereign state, the country will not sit idly by and do nothing.
This is not only a matter for the Dali royal family, but also represents the orthodoxy and legitimacy of the imperial edict.
In an atmosphere of mutual trust and harmony, both parties reached agreement on specific issues.
The whole meeting was very harmonious, so harmonious that when leaving, Duan Lianyi actually asked His Highness the Crown Prince to keep the princess by his side so that he could serve her wholeheartedly.
This really doesn’t work!
Not to mention the glares Zhao Qinglan and Xiaonizi threw at her, not even Zhao Xi could do this.
After all, she is also a princess of the same country, and she is now the boss of others? Although everyone understood the meaning, Zhao Xi still declined politely.
You can't play with fire. It took a lot of effort to send Su Yan back to Bianliang. What kind of person have you become with another woman by your side?
"Everything happens when you are wearing fancy clothes and makeup.
Children are noisy with lights on Sixth Street
What should I do with a long gown?
Also in the laughter of tourists”
Huh? This...of course Zhao Xi remembers this. This is the poem he wrote...copied when he spent the first New Year's Eve with his father-in-law. How can this girl memorize it?
Zhao Xi probed further... Fortunately, there was only disappointment in this girl's eyes, nothing else.
Zhao Xi was so shocked that he broke out in a sweat, thinking that someone would know that he had plagiarized.
