1088:The Storm Rises Again (4)
Although the Shura Field was not staged, the envoy of the Nie clan was really angry.
Meng Zhan wrote a letter to the Nie family of Bianzhou, Zhongzhao, and said a lot of good things.
On the one hand, he analyzed the general trend of the world, explained the current shortage of the Nie family, and confessed the predicament that the Meng family is encountering now.
To put it mildly, the content of the deal was proposed - as long as the Nie family gave the Meng family protection and other benefits, the Meng family would give up Cangzhou.
Once you have Cangzhou, it means that you have a big rear for the production of horses!
This exchange of interests is not so much an equal transaction between the two families, but rather a Meng clan using Cangzhou as a bargaining chip in exchange for the protection of the Nie clan. The Nie clan is in the middle edict, but he also cares about the situation of various countries, and the Cangzhou Meng clan has been declining in recent years, and its power is indeed not as good as before.
If the Meng clan is just an ordinary scholar clan, just find a prince to attach to or keep to themselves, and basically it will not be affected.
However, the Meng family controls Cangzhou, and Cangzhou Racecourse is a big cake that everyone covets.
Even if the Meng clan keeps to himself, someone in Chaoyang will take the initiative to trouble them and pull them into the whirlpool of the world's struggle.
Thinking of this, the Nie clan did not doubt Meng Zhan's letter, and immediately sent the elite children of the clan as envoys to secretly envoy Zhanjiang Pass.
Unbeknownst to them, when they showed the token given by Meng Zhan, the Zhanjiang guards fooled all kinds of prevarication.
The envoy of the Nie clan was keenly aware that something was wrong, and secretly sent someone to inquire about the situation in the pass-
"It's too much to deceive people! Meng Zhan is like a lost dog asking Meng for help, but now he has changed his mind and repented, and he really can't make Meng's mud?"
The Zhongzhao royal family no longer exists, and there are currently multiple princes standing side by side, among which the Nie family is the strongest.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Nie clan are obvious, and if they can get Cangzhou, it will be of great strategic significance to them.
Cangzhou Horse Farm is vast, rich in war horses, and the quality of war horses can be comparable to that of northern Xinjiang, which is one of them.
Zhanjiang Pass is the natural gateway of Dongqing, the terrain is very steep, and it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Nie clan can get Cangzhou, it means that Zhanjiang Pass is invalid, and the Nie clan can use Cangzhou as a pedal to develop strange troops and conquer the hinterland of Dongqing, which is the second.
And now?
All the sweet dreams became a passing cloud, and the Nie family was stunned by Meng Zhan!
The envoy of the Nie clan was furious, his cousin frowned, and said hesitantly, "It may not be Meng Zhan who sent Cangzhou——"
They only heard that the three counties of Cangzhou were divided by the Huangliu family, but they didn't hear anything else.
Maybe the Huangliu family joined forces to break through Cangzhou?
The corners of the Nie envoy's mouth twitched, and he glanced at his cousin with pity for the mentally retarded, and the scribe who accompanied him explained, "If Meng Zhan hadn't taken the initiative to surrender or send Cangzhou, the war would definitely have affected Zhanjiang Pass, and troops would have to be transferred. But we stayed in Zhanjiang Pass for a few days, and the soldiers here were not sick or injured, and there were no traces of fighting near the pass, so it can be seen that Huang Song got Zhanjiang Pass without abandoning a single soldier. ”
"Oh—that's the case—" The other party nodded, and then said, "In this way, aren't we being tricked by Meng Zhan?"
Did you react?
The Nie envoy group was speechless.
"This matter can't be easily stopped, if it spreads, the majesty of the Zhongzhao Nie clan will not exist. ”
It's one thing to lose face, the key is to miss this opportunity, if the Nie clan wants to get involved in Dongqing's land, it will be more difficult.
Taking advantage of the instability of Cangzhou's power, the Nie clan could take the opportunity to put pressure on the border Zhanjiang Pass and divide the Huangliu Alliance, so as to achieve the goal.
"First write a letter to Bianzhou and see what decision the lord makes. ”
The letter from the Nie Clan's mission was sent back to China, and the thoughts of the Nie people were similar to theirs.
Even if they can't get the entire Cangzhou, they have to get Meng County!
Otherwise?
Hmph –
The soft ones can't come to the hard ones, Huang Song and Liu Xi's forces are unstable, can they still hold Zhanjiang Pass?
After receiving the order, the Nie envoy was full of confidence and put pressure on the Zhanjiang guards.
Everyone has come up with tough diplomatic rhetoric, and Huang Song's side can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he can only send someone to welcome the mission into Cangzhou.
The principal of the Nie mission is a descendant of the Nie family, with the surname Nie, the name is good, and the word is good.
This person has passed the age of standing, unparalleled in Qingyi, elegant and graceful, wearing a dark Confucian shirt, covered with thin clothes, and a standard scholarly attitude.
On the right side of Nie Liang's body stood a man in Tsing Yi with a warm temperament, with a clear image and a cool demeanor, and he was also a dragon and phoenix among people.
If you let Yan Gou in the live broadcast room score them, not to mention 90 points up, at least 85 points will be the bottom!
It's just good-looking, but the temperament of the whole body can't be learned by ordinary people, and you can recognize it at a glance if you throw it into the sea of people.
Huang Song belongs to the invisible face control, knowing that the two represent the Zhongzhao Nie clan, but seeing the appearance of the two, the initial favorability is not low.
Nie Liang didn't greet Huang Song for long, directly expressed his intentions, took out Meng Zhan's letter, and reminded Huang Song of one thing in disguise-
Meng Zhan has already promised Cangzhou to the Zhongzhao Nie clan, so this territory is theirs.
Huang Song has no problem taking it, but he also has to weigh his bones to see if he can keep the fat of Cangzhou!
Instead of the two fighting, it is better to get acquainted with each other and send troops to evacuate Cangzhou!
Otherwise, see each other!
Nie Liang said it quite tactfully, but Huang Song put on a look that he didn't understand, and talked about him left and right.
"The envoy came all the way from Zhongzhao, and he must have been tired after a long journey. You might as well let Song do the friendship of the landlord, and the messenger will rest in the accommodation first - as for the things mentioned by the messenger, Song is not inside, and after Song finds out, he will give the messenger an explanation. ”
Nie Liang squinted his eyes and responded with a smile.
He wanted to see what tricks Huang Song still had.
By the way, they can also take advantage of this time to get a good understanding of the situation in Cangzhou.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Huang Song got up to see him off, and as soon as he came out of the main tent, Nie Liang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
"Ah Xun?" he was surprised, turned his head and asked Huang Song, "Is that Chengyun?"
Huang Song was also shocked, "The envoy knows Chengyun?"
Over there, Nie Xun also discovered people who shouldn't have appeared in Cangzhou.
Nie Liang said, "Liang and Chengyun are classmates in ethnology, so they naturally know each other. ”
After he finished speaking, Nie Xun had already stepped forward to recognize him.
Only then did Huang Song realize that Nie Xun was the adopted son of the Zhongzhao Nie family, so it was naturally possible to know the envoy of the Nie family.
Nie Liang said to Nie Xun, "I heard that Uncle Clan said that you came to Dongqing to look for relatives, and you haven't returned for many years, but now you can find your relatives?"
Nie Xun smiled bitterly, "It's hard to say anything about this matter, Fei Xun deliberately concealed it, it's really hard to speak." ”
Nie Liang knew that he had a hard time, but he didn't dig into it, and said hello in private.
On the second day, Huang Song set up a banquet to invite the Nie delegation and gave Jiang Pengji an invitation.
Jiang Pengji happily took it.
Free meals, don't eat for nothing.
But—
She found that after the banquet began, Wei Ci's gaze couldn't help but glance at the Nie Mission-
"Is there a beauty in the Allure City or a peerless beauty over there, and Zixiao is restless?"
Jiang Pengji was curious, which small table smashed the hook and made Zixiao think about it?
