"There is no greater chaos than the absence of an emperor. Without an emperor, the strong will prevail over the weak, and the many will overthrow the few. They will kill each other with armies, and there will be no rest. This is the time in today's world. Therefore, in today's world, if you are looking for wise men, you will be everywhere.
Inside, in the valley, a remote and quiet place."
――"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals? Listen carefully"
When Gao Kai and Dian Mi first entered the valley, they felt that this place was unusual.
Looking around, you can see distant mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, nearby valleys undulating gracefully, green branches and buds hanging with morning dew, birds spreading their wings and fluttering among them, and summer cicadas vibrating on the exposed trees. Three or four small wooden houses are scattered along the water, and the light and shadow of the flowing water are reflected.
Stones are dotted in the green sand. There is no table in front of the house. Three or four seats and eucalyptus trees are randomly dropped on the ground in no particular order. They were all made by cutting down trees on the spot, and the marks of knife and ax can be vaguely found.
The mellow aroma of the logs is faintly audible.
It's simple and rough, but it reveals a bit of a return to nature.
The only shortcoming is that after entering the valley, there is always a faint smell of herbs lingering in the nose.
It seems that the owner here is recovering from his illness?
The two of them looked past the seven or eight sword-equipped retinues in the aisles, and landed on a man in a half-new uniform without a sword.
But when I saw that man's body was slightly thin, his temples were pale, his three strands of beard were neatly trimmed, his eyes were like stars, and he looked extraordinary. As soon as he saw it, people couldn't help but praise him, "There is poetry and calligraphy in his belly."
"After looking at him for a few more times, I found that his eyebrows were solemn, his eyes were sharp, and his deep nasolabial wrinkles undoubtedly demonstrated the power of life and death that he had been in charge of for a long time. Especially the several inches of scars on his face, which added to the
Rage.
It's probably not someone you want to be with.
They made their evaluations secretly and quietly.
But Zheng Pu had no interest in trying to figure them out. When he saw them stepping forward, he just stood up and stretched out his hands to guide them. His voice was dull and he said, "I'm sick, and I'm not welcome at a distance. Don't blame me. Well, take a seat."
"Thank you, General."
The two of them didn't say anything polite. They bowed their hands or touched their chests to express their thanks, then moved to sit down.
Even after sitting down, the guard on the side had been offering some clear water green fruits and candied fruits for a long time, but the two people who claimed to have come to discuss remained silent.
Yawenba
It also made Zheng Pu feel a little boring.
He no longer had any hope for the remnants of the Northland, and he was ill and did not want to entertain guests. This time, Wang Hua led them to make noise because he did not want the remnants of the Northland to think that he was arrogant and insincere.
That's all.
How can I be in such a mood to waste time with them!
"cough!"
A slight cough broke the silence.
When both of them turned their heads to look at the sound, Zheng Pu said slowly, "I am sick, and the imperial doctor has told me not to bother myself. You two have come from afar, and if you have something to say, you can speak frankly. If you haven't thought it through in your heart, then you can
Let’s go back and discuss it first.”
Hearing this, both of them couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
Perhaps they also didn't expect that Zheng Pu looked down upon the remaining people in the North so much that he directly issued an order to expel them.
Naturally, this also made them vaguely angry.
Chu, who had not been restrained by the Han Dynasty since his birth, was fascinated by the Qiang leader Dianmi. He took the lead to suppress his anger and asked with a slightly unruly tone, "I dare to ask the general, your army has been riding into muddy water recently.
River valley, is this the general who wants to raise troops to engage in a life-and-death struggle with us?"
"Our army has no such intention."
Zheng Puqian smiled and waved his hand, "It's just that peace and stability has just been restored, and the people in counties and counties have changed their families. I'm afraid that some lawless people will take the opportunity to rob the people or collude to rebel against the Wei Dynasty, so I ordered the patrol scouts to watch more."
After saying that, seeing that the two of them still didn't believe it, he added, "Our army's life-and-death enemy is the rebel Wei. The most urgent task is to fully occupy Guanzhong and return to the old capital! If we are enemies and attack each other, we will
It's just a treacherous thing. If you don't offend our great Han Dynasty, our army will have no intention of raising troops, so don't think of disturbing yourselves."
Uh~~
As soon as these words were spoken, the two people in Beidi couldn't help but look at each other.
We also saw doubts in each other's eyes, as well as indignation at their sophistry.
Indeed, the Han army's ranger scouts are spying on their habitat! They are all observing the defense of their tribesmen, and can monitor their cattle, sheep, horses, women and children at all times!
Who would believe that the Han army has no intention of raising troops?
Even if the reasons given by Zheng Pu are sufficient,
But who dares to believe in the life and prosperity of the entire clan?
However, they cannot refute this explanation.
"What the general said puts our minds at ease."
Seeing that Dian Mi was speechless for a moment, Gao Kai stood up and bowed his hands, saying in a very gentle voice, "It's just that I have something to puzzle about, and I would like to ask the general to explain it. It was the former general who ordered Hu Bo to invite us to observe.
The wars between the Han and Wei dynasties made us realize the power of the Han army. Later, he sent the king to discuss with us about returning to the Han court. However, we all treated us as the general wanted, but the general did not change his previous intentions. This is not a good start.
And Falk finally?"
Actually hit him with a rake?
Why don't I discuss it with you again? It's because your hearts are not evil!
"I don't need to be formal, please take a seat."
After hearing the question, Zheng Pu couldn't help but feel a little funny, and also a little uninterested. He first followed the Han Dynasty's custom of respecting elders and raised his hand to signal Gao Kai to take a seat, and then continued, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com "I can't do anything without my authority."
In the end, it’s not that I mean to play tricks on you. It’s just that according to the etiquette and laws of the Han Dynasty, I really can’t fulfill what you want. Moreover, our army is still at war with Ni Wei. Repeated discussions with them are just a waste of energy and time. It’s not as good as each other.
Just settle down."
Gao Kai, who had just taken his seat, his eyes flashed when he heard this, and he blurted out, "So, I dare to ask the general, if your army enters Guanzhong, how will you treat me and others?"
This man is quite intelligent.
Hearing this, Zheng Pu glanced at him approvingly, then turned his head, his voice a little vague.
"The first emperor of our country was after Emperor Xiao Jing of the former Han Dynasty. He who honored the title of Emperor also offered sacrifices to those below Emperor Gao. Therefore, after our army entered Guanzhong, we vowed to make Chang'an the capital of China."
It seems that he didn't answer the question, but in fact he said everything.
Because there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.
Based on the lessons learned from the defeat of Haojing, the royal capital of the Zhou Dynasty, no matter whether it was the Qin Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, as long as the capital was within Guanzhong, any emperor would be wary of danger in times of peace and would definitely not let the four northern counties of Guanzhong be occupied by others.
In other words, Zheng Pu is declaring that "under the sky, there is nothing but the king's land; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers".
He was threatening them in a very explicit way!
If they are unwilling to accept the appeasement of the Han Dynasty now, then when the war between Han and Wei ends and the Han Dynasty frees up their hands, they will definitely march north to seek revenge! And by that time, the Han Dynasty will not give them the conditions they have now.
Even Dian Mi, the leader of Zhongqiang tribe, recognized this meaning.
"you!"
Therefore, he stood up suddenly and pointed at Zheng Pu, wanting to curse something, but nothing came out.
The servant Qi Yacuo, who had been standing beside Zheng Pu, had already taken half a step forward with his sharp blade out of its sheath, staring at him like a ferocious beast. If he dared to utter insults, his body would be dismembered.
