Chapter 650: Nanzhong Mission
Yong's is the surname of Yizhou, and Yonghong is even more after Yongya, and his family belongs to the first group to support Liu Yan, and Yonghong has naturally been reused by Liu Zhang.
Now, just when he was at a loss, Yonghong came forward to offer a plan, no matter whether it is good or not, whether it can be used or not, Liu Zhang must first receive this courtier.
"Chen Yonghong, meet Your Majesty!" Not long after, Yonghong came to the main hall and saluted Liu Zhang.
"Get flat, take a seat." Liu Zhang nodded and motioned for him to get up and take a seat.
It is said that Liu Tao, on his side, will use the nickname 'Aiqing' for some close ministers. He didn't need it here, after all, there had never been such a title before. Besides, as an emperor, you must maintain the necessary majesty.
The two exchanged a few words of greeting before they began to get to the point.
"Your Majesty, do you know Nanzhongman?" Yonghong said.
"A group of barbarians......" Liu Zhang was a little disdainful, that group of barbarians, if they left the jungle, they would definitely be defeated. But the problem is that if you want to fight through, you will be blocked by the miasma, and the result will be a situation where no one can help anyone.
"The minister has a relationship with a few barbarian tribes, and they have excellent assassins there, who are good at using poison and poison. This year, their tribe is facing extinction and is in urgent need of food and weapons, as long as they are given enough food and weapons, they can help us and go to Luoyang to assassinate Liu Tao! Yonghong replied.
If there is no way to defeat the big Han on the frontal battlefield, then it is natural to have to deal with it in a different way. For example, the presence of assassins is a good choice.
Especially on the Nanzhongman side, poisons are everywhere, and the tribe also has a large number of strange poisons. From making people miserable to making people gradually decadent and weak, you name it.
"Then if Liu Tao is really so good at assassinating, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu don't know how many times they have assassinated him." When Liu Zhang heard this, the slight expectation had disappeared.
"Haha, it's the so-called 'hero is sad to pass the beauty pass'. Among those southern and barbarian tribes, there are several stunning women, can they pretend to trade with the Han Dynasty? Travel to Luoyang. If you can show Liu Tao a beauty trick? Then the follow-up will be easy. Yonghong smiled.
Liu Zhang didn't know what level Yonghong's so-called 'stunning' was, but Yonghong was so confident. What about the look? Definitely not bad. Thinking of this? In fact, he himself is a little nervous and wants to see and see.
But to think of? Since he was trained as an assassin, he lost interest.
"It's just a passage out of Shu now? Is there a heavy guard from Zhao Yun's side? For those who go out of Shu, they are all closely investigated. Those assassins, it is estimated that they have not yet arrived in Luoyang, and they have already been found out in Hanzhong. Liu Zhang was a little worried.
"Don't worry about this? Is there a corresponding method? will come to offer advice. Yonghong said proudly.
After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty doesn't know that Nanzhongman will also regularly go to Jiaozhou to trade, and Shi Xie used to buy Dianchi horses from their side. Now Jiaozhou has returned to the Northern Han Dynasty? Can Nanzhongman set off on the Jiaozhou side and then go north? In this way, a lot of suspicion can be washed away. ”
Even, do you know that their team is Nanzhongman? can still arrive in Luoyang smoothly, Liu Tao will also think? These people have already been scrutinized by Zhao Yun? Confirm that there are no problems? So let your guard down, right? Even if something really goes wrong in the future, he will suspect Zhao Yun for the first time, and at least it will not be completely ungained.
"Ha, that's a good plan, it's accurate!" Liu Zhang weighed it slightly when he heard this, and then announced it firmly. Just pay for some food and weapons, which can be exchanged for the Han turmoil, which is too profitable.
Liu Tao died, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and perhaps they still had the possibility of going out of Shu to recover Hanzhong, or even further expand their territory. Even if Liu Tao didn't die, that is, the loss of some supplies, it would have no impact on Shu Han.
The matter was thus decided, and Liu Zhang allocated a large amount of materials and weapons on the same day. Of course, about forty percent of these things were intercepted by Yonghong.
If it weren't for the fear that these barbarians would not be able to speak, and finally stabbed the matter to Liu Zhang's side, he dared to intercept seventy percent.
As for whether the assassination was unsuccessful, it didn't have much to do with him. After all, in the final analysis, he is only responsible for pulling the needle, and the specific implementation is still the responsibility of others.
If you succeed, you will make a great achievement, and when you have failed materials, you can recruit 3,000 soldiers and horses. Anyway, on Liu Zhang's side, it is estimated that he didn't take this operation too seriously. Almost, it's also a dispensable mentality.
A month later, in the depths of winter, a team arrived in Jiaozhou from Nanzhong, then north from Jiaozhou, through Nansi County into Nanyang, and finally, before the New Year, arrived in Luoyang.
The banner is the messenger of the Nanban, the purpose of which is to make the Nanzhongman and the Han Dynasty form an alliance and seek common development.
When the Ministry of Rites received the news, it was naturally overjoyed, after all, it was all about face, and this feeling of all nations coming to the court could be used as a New Year's gift.
"Sir, that Nanzhongman, adjacent to Shu Han, is so far away from us, why don't they look for Shu Han, but come to us?" Chen Qun realized that something was wrong, so he reminded Xun Yue.
"This has also been asked...... Xun Yue is not just a face-saving and brainless existence, "It is said that Shu Han is very harsh on their tribe, and if they continue, their tribe's life will become a problem." So hope to form an alliance with us,"
"That is, I hope we can deal with Shu Han?" Chen Qun understood.
"It means that when the time comes, it will unite with other tribes in Nanzhong and harass the rear of Shu Han. In the opinion of this official, this is indeed helpful for us to attack Yizhou, so he came forward. Xun Yue nodded.
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, since they are Nanzhong barbarians, if they want to go north, they will naturally pass through Hanzhong. General Zhao is loyal to His Majesty, so naturally he will not let anyone with ill intentions go north. Their team should be fine. ”
"I see, it's a subordinate who is presumptuous." Chen Qun hurriedly apologized.
"No, no, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, especially these Nanzhong barbarians, in the end, they are not my race, and it is normal to be prepared." Xun Yue said with a smile, "Seeing that the New Year is approaching, on the second day of the new year, Your Majesty will have a banquet according to the custom, inviting civil and military officials to participate. When the time comes, this official intends to introduce these Nanzhong barbarians to add some good omen to the New Year. ”
"The chief is wise, and the lower officer admires!" Chen Qun flattered.
The two of them didn't know that when the Nanzhongman team came to Luoyang, the first to act was actually not the Ministry of Rites.
When he knew that there was a group of Nanzhong barbarians who wanted to come to meet His Majesty the Han Dynasty as envoys, Jinyiwei had already silently started to act. The information about these Nanzhongman, both on the surface and in the secret, began to be collected one after another......
