Due to the continuous civil war in the Great Wei Empire, it has been divided into Southern Wei and Northern Wei, with the Southern Wei being the Wei court and the Northern Wei being the princelings.

Zhang Feizi put down the brush in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty come to the right prime minister's mansion first, and be received by His Majesty on behalf of the prime minister!" ”

"Yes!" The official of the Ministry of Rites responded with a respectful expression, and then said: "Prime Minister Zuo, there is one more thing for the lower officials, this time in addition to the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty entering Qin, the envoys of Zhao have also entered Qin, and the envoys of Zhao are in the Hall of the Ministry of Rites, why don't you meet with Prime Minister Zuo?" ”

Now the Ministry of Rites is busy preparing for three funerals, one is the Qin envoy Zhang Wen, the other is the Huaiyuan general Qian Guangxiao, and the other is the right prime minister Chang Zifei.

The Ministry of Rites hopes that Zhang Feizi can quickly deal with the envoys of the two countries, so that the Ministry of Rites can concentrate on the three major funerals.

"What an eventful time!" Zhang Feizi couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face, thinking to himself, this group of people will really pick a time to come, sooner or later, but at this time, the previous things have not been done, and the next thing will come.

"Let them all come!" Zhang Feizi looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites with a solemn expression.

"Yes!" The official of the Ministry of Rites made a farewell salute, then turned around and left the main hall, and after about a stick of incense, the official of the Ministry of Rites turned back again, but this time he brought two middle-aged men wearing different official uniforms.

One of them was wearing a blue official uniform, and the other was wearing an off-white official uniform.

"The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tian Jixian, meet the Prime Minister of Great Qin Zuo!"

"Zhao envoy Zhonghe, meet the Prime Minister of Great Qin Zuo!"

The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tian Jixian, and the envoy of Zhao, Zhong He, successively saluted Zhang Feizi above the first place, these two envoys are of equal age, equal figure, and their appearance is also mediocre, but the mediocre appearance does not mean that they themselves are mediocre.

Tian Jixian, Tang Shao's henchman, Tang Shao is the first in the world, and the henchman who can be left by his side is not ordinary, and Zhong He, although the name Zhong He is not well known, he is a man of the hour in the Great Zhao Rite Department, with an extremely good mouth.

"Your Excellency doesn't need to be polite, presumably both of you know that there has been something wrong with my Daqin recently, and the various ministries are busy, so please make a long story short, who will come first?" Zhang Feizi looked at the two envoys with a calm expression and said.

"Wei envoy came from afar, then let Wei envoy go first!" Zhong He saluted with an indifferent smile on his face.

When Tian Ji heard this, he immediately smiled and saluted back: "Thank you, Lord Zhao!" ”

"Haha, no thanks!" Zhonghe smiled and gave the other party a good impression.

Tian Ji nodded slightly again and thanked him, and then replied to Zhang Feizi: "Prime Minister Zuo, I came here to ask for help, I wanted to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin, but His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin was in a state of grief due to the death of the right Prime Minister of your country, and I couldn't bear to disturb him, so I can only trouble Prime Minister Zuo!" ”

Originally, Great Qin's support for the Northern Wei Dynasty was a secret support, but now, it is an open secret that Great Qin supports the Tai Palace, so there is no need to meet secretly, and he is not afraid of being heard, anyway, Great Qin and Northern Wei are not afraid of being exposed.

Not only are they not afraid of being exposed, but the Great Qin and the Northern Wei Dynasty also want to be exposed, because if this matter is exposed, the national prestige of the Great Qin Empire will be able to spread to the southeastern countries of Kyushu, and the Northern Wei Dynasty will rely on the Great Qin Empire to grow its momentum, and both will benefit.

"Asking for help?" Zhang Feizi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know what the imperial palace needs?" ”

"Terracotta!"

"What did you say?"

Tian Ji was shocked first, and he was stunned by the well-informed Zhang Feizi.

What did he hear, the Northern Wei Dynasty actually wanted Great Qin to send troops!

Not only Zhang Feizi was taken aback, Zhong He was also shocked, without him, it was too outrageous for Daqin to send troops to aid the Northern Wei Dynasty, especially if there were no thousands of miles and eight thousand miles, the cavalry would attack with all their might, and it would take at least half a year, this is still the case of stable weather, if there is rain, snow, flooding, etc., I am afraid that it will not be able to reach the Southern Wei Dynasty for a year or two.

"When did Your Excellency set out from the Northern Wei Dynasty?" Zhang Feizi asked.

"Seven months ago!" Tian Ji spoke first.

"Haha!" Zhang Feizi couldn't help but smile, "Your Excellency and the embassy will take seven months to arrive in Xianyang, if I send troops to Daqin, won't it take even longer, and before the army arrives in the Northern Wei Dynasty, I'm afraid that the grain carried by my Qin army will be exhausted in the middle of the road!" ”

Although Zhang Feizi did not openly refuse Tian Jixian's request, he had already politely refused, but Tian Jixian pretended not to understand and said: "We know this, but Daqin is at the border of Yueqin Yanshui Pass, doesn't there be a military camp?" The Great Qin Expeditionary Force can completely replenish in the Yanshui Camp! ”

Zhang Feizi looked at the situation, and knew that the Northern Wei Dynasty was in a worrying situation, otherwise, he would not have asked for help so desperately, in this regard, Zhang Feizi couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "As far as the prime minister knows, the Southern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty have formed a confrontation, and no one can help anyone, and your Northern Wei Dynasty has the assistance of the alliance of the Southeast Nations, how can you think of the Great Qin Empire, which is thousands of miles away?" ”

"Alas~" Tian Ji sighed lightly first, and replied worriedly: "It's not a secret, the civil war between the north and the south of the Wei Dynasty has been delayed, and the southeastern countries cannot support the consumption of the coalition army, so the southeastern countries gave up assisting the Northern Wei Dynasty as early as a year ago, and now the Northern Wei Dynasty has two allies, the Yue Empire and the Great Qin Empire!" ”

"The strength of the Moon Empire is weak, and the combat power of the army is even weaker, and the Moon Empire now has new troubles, the Emperor of the Shu Empire has died, and the new Emperor has ascended the throne, this new Emperor is a warlike monarch, and has always coveted the fertile soil of the Moon Empire, and the current Moon Empire can be said to be difficult to protect itself, and even the Moon Empire has asked for help from the Northern Wei Dynasty!"

"Now the Northern Wei Dynasty is also the same as the Moon Empire, it is difficult for the mud Bodhisattva to cross the river itself, and now, only Daqin has the extra strength to help my Northern Wei Dynasty sweep away the rebels, and this time I came, not asking for money or food, only for soldiers and horses!"

"Prime Minister Zuo, if the Northern Wei Dynasty comes to a special juncture, it will not ask Daqin for reinforcements, it is really Wei Shang's soldiers and horses are strong, and the combat effectiveness exceeds that of my Northern Wei Dynasty, and my Northern Wei Dynasty is less controlled by the alliance of the Southeast Nations and the Yue Empire, and it is difficult to match the Southern Wei Dynasty, please also ask Prime Minister Zuo to know clearly!"

After hearing these words, Zhang Feizi's brows couldn't help frowning, and his expression also appeared solemn, he thought that the Northern Wei Dynasty was in a worrying situation, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable, in just one year's effort, the Northern Wei Dynasty, which had the upper hand, instantly fell into disadvantage.

PS: "Order it all!" ”
