Chapter 18: The Messenger
It is also difficult to choose a messenger.
"Doesn't Song Dongyang still have a younger brother Song Wuyang? Didn't he serve under him, and let the brothers go to the two tribes. ”
"This is not good, Song Wuyang's official position is a pioneer officer, if you let a pioneer officer and a master general go together, no matter which tribe these two people are in?
The people of the other tribe will always find a way to get in touch if they know that the emissaries we have sent out have too big a gap in official positions. It will make them have ideas in their hearts, and it will not be good for us when the time comes. ”
"But we are pulling around in the barracks, and we really haven't found anyone who can talk and have a plan."
"What do you think of Xie Xuan? I think Xie Xuan is a measured person.
In the face of the children who killed their father's enemies, they did not affect their judgment because of personal grievances.
And you don't know, this Xie Xuan also gave a bottle of gold sore medicine to the two brothers of the Shen family, and the two brothers of the Shen family were very moved, and before leaving, they also handed over their family's unique plan to Xie Xuan. ”
"That said, I also think this Xie Xuan is really good, although he is young, he has a calm personality and has no flashy heart at all.
Although there are few words in ordinary times, once the exit is inevitably on the point, not nonsense.
I have heard that the king of Wusun is a man who does not like to talk a lot, and if the envoy we send is a man of many words, but it makes the king of Wusun unhappy, we will be self-defeating. ”
"What Captain Zhao said makes sense, is that to let Song Dongyang and Xie Xuan go on an envoy?"
"I think that let Song Wuyang and Xie Xuan go together to envoy the two tribes, although the official positions of Song Dongyang and Xie Xuan are not much different, but we also have to exercise, newcomers.
And I think Song Wuyang's ability is no worse than his brother, Song Wuyang has his own set of ways in dealing with people, and he is smooth enough to handle things. It's hard to pick out, wrong. ”
Rouge wants to exercise Song Wuyang.
"The meaning of the military advisor is to let Song Wuyang and Xie Xuan go on the envoy together."
"That's right, let Xie Xuan send an envoy to Wusun, and Song Wu Sunshine to envoy Yue's clan.
King Wusun doesn't like people to talk too much, and Xie Xuan is cold enough to be silent.
King Yuezhi likes to communicate with people, and Song Wuyang is proficient in poetry and songs, and the two will definitely be able to speak together. ”
After listening to Rouge's analysis, everyone also felt that these two people were indeed very suitable.
"Then let's ask these two people privately to see what they mean? If they agree, let's meet again and let them nominate themselves.
If we just settle down like this, if they don't want to, they will inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts.
Others who are not involved in the decision-making process will have some small ideas. ”
"Strategist, what if someone else wants to send an envoy as well?"
"How can it be, this envoy to another country is not a good errand, and those generals in our military camp will not take on this drudgery.
And they are not stupid, they know that this matter is very important, and they will not weigh how many pounds and taels they have in order to grab credit. ”
Zhao Changqing looked at Rouge with satisfaction, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
If Rouge is a man, it must be Rouge in this world, but it's okay, Wushuang is also very good.
Zhao Yunchen looked at the corners of his father's raised mouth, and knew that his father was sighing again, he had a good granddaughter.
But it's true, Rouge's intelligence is unrivaled in the world.
If Rouge is a man, this head full of strategy and wisdom is enough to make any country crazy about it.
Fortunately, my father has taught rouge since he was a child, and he wants to keep his light and hide his edge.
Otherwise, there is a daughter who doesn't like needlework since she was a child, but she doesn't let go of the military book.
Wushuang and Zhao Changqing met Song Wuyang and Xie Xuan alone.
Wushuang and Song Wuyang's side.
"Song Xianxian, I came to you this time because I wanted to discuss something with you."
"The general just said it."
"That's right, seeing that the cavalry is already training on a daily basis, we can't stay in this place all the time, and it's time to start attacking.
But you also know that there are still Yueshi and Wusun outside the city, in case we fight with the imperial court in front, they come to a praying mantis to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, then aren't we just suffering from the enemy? ”
"The general's intention is to settle these two tribes before the Jade Court officially fights."
"That's right, it's just that we can't fight with these two tribes first, after all, there has never been a war before, and we can try not to use force if we can."
"General, you asked me to send envoys to these two tribes."
"Yes, I heard that the king of the Yue clan likes to talk to people, and he is also a person who is rich in learning and full of wealth.
But if you look at how many of us in the army have read poetry books.
It's already very good to be able to recognize a few words, and if such a person goes to the Yue Clan, the King of the Yue Clan will definitely feel that we don't pay enough attention to it, and it will be self-defeating when the time comes. ”
"General, let me ask, there are two tribes, who is the other tribe to send the envoy, is it my eldest brother?"
"No, we also wanted you to make a noise at the beginning, but your eldest brother is too different from your official position, if you are promoted now, it will not be easy to be promoted without military achievements.
However, if the two tribes know that the two envoys we sent out have too different official positions, the two kings will also have their own considerations, which will think that we are favoring one over the other and not treating each other equally. ”
"That's right, but I don't know who happened with me?"
"It's the newly selected cavalry deputy general Xie Xuan."
"Is that Xie Xuan who almost died under the horse?"
"Yes, that's him."
(Song Wuyang has not been in the barracks for a long time, although he and Xie Xuan have both been in Song Dongyang's camp tent, but Song Wuyang is a pioneer officer and has to train his vanguard every day, and Xie Xuan is just a small soldier, so the two naturally do not know each other.)
And Song Wuyang has been hearing people mention Xie Xuan in the past few days. Even his brother Song Dongyang was full of praise for this Xie Xuan.
Song Dongyang is very stingy and praises others, but in Song Wuyang, he is full of praise for this Xie Xuan, which makes Song Wuyang very curious, what kind of person is this Xie Xuan? )
"Oh, then, I'm willing to make a mission."
"Okay, then we will convene a meeting and choose an envoy among the generals, and the two of you will recommend yourself."
"Okay, everything is under the orders of the general."
Zhao Changqing and Xie Xuan.
"I've seen the general."
"Get up, Xie Xuan, it's a matter of calling you here today, I want to hear what you mean."
"If there is anything, the general will command."
"That's right, we are going to send someone to envoy Wusun, we think you are very suitable, and we want you to serve as an envoy, are you willing?"
"I don't know what happened to the envoy Wusun?"
"We're about to leave this place, but there are still two tribes outside our city, Wusun and Yue, who are eyeing each other.
In case they plunder and kill Chen's people after we leave, we won't be able to save the fire from far water.
No, we should deal with such a tribe before we set off, so that we won't be troubled. ”
"I'm willing to send an envoy to Usun."
"Okay, since you're willing, then a meeting will be held to talk about this matter, and you will recommend yourself."
"Yes."
Xie Xuan is really a person who doesn't say much, and he doesn't care about anything.
Didn't like Song Wuyang, to ask who the other envoy was?
Wushuang summoned all the generals to the big tent for a meeting.
"Everyone, the cavalry selection is over, except. The incident of the Shen family brothers, there were no mistakes in the selection of strange soldiers this time, and it is also very worthy of celebration.
But now, time is urgent, and we must set off to Xuanzhou immediately.
It's just that there are still two big hidden dangers outside the city that have not been solved. ”
Zhao Changqing continued to speak.
"As you know, there have always been three tribes outside our city, and in previous years, we have always been at war with the Xiongnu, and the Yueshi and Wusun have never fought with us.
But now the Huns have no chance to fight back, in case we are busy confronting the imperial court, the two countries of Wusun and Yueshi, if our cattle come to a mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, we will be attacked on our backs.
At that point, the situation will be very dangerous. ”
"General Chu, General Zhao, then why don't we take advantage of the fact that these two tribes are wiped out now, and the Huns have also been solved by us. The Huns have unparalleled iron horses in the world, and they are all obedient to us, not to mention this Wusun and Yueshi. ”
"Vice General Li, what you say is biased. We have been at war with the Huns for many years, and you were able to solve the Huns last year, if it wasn't for us getting the first chance and using counter-strategies.
The Xiongnu are not so easy to solve, not to mention that we now have to confront the imperial court. This strength is not the slightest, and it cannot be reduced. ”
"Vice General Zhao is right, since ancient times, they have been saluting first and then soldiers, and they will fight as soon as they come up."
"I think you're just scared, cowardly as a mouse."
……
Wushuang they didn't stop the people below from arguing.
Black Seven has never been involved in these things, but he is happy to be idle.
Although Song Wuyang was a pioneer officer, he was given this position as a pioneer officer because the financial army had no military merits.
No one would think that he only had the ability to be a pioneer officer, so Song Wuyang was not qualified to come to the big tent to listen to people's deliberations.
However, after discussing with Zhao Changqing, Wushuang still asked Song Wuyang to come to the big tent to watch.
After a long debate, the generals stopped.
"Okay, don't fight anymore, what Vice General Zhao said is indeed reasonable, salute first and then soldier, it has been like this since ancient times.
Besides, we really shouldn't lose troops in this kind of matter, and things that can be resolved peacefully, let's try to solve them in a peaceful way. ”
"Listen to the general's arrangement."
"I discussed this matter privately with General Zhao. Let's send two messengers to these two tribes first, and see what the kings of these two tribes mean.
If it can be resolved peacefully, we will sign a covenant. If it is not resolved, it will not be too late for the two sides to go to war again. ”
