Chapter 837: Mutual Biao's Acting Skills
"You are the messenger from Kushan? Why did you come to me? Looking at the respectful people below, Guo Jia took a sip of wine with an unchanged expression and said lightly.
"Your Excellency, we are indeed here from Guishuang, and we have come to make peace with Da Chu with our national letter. This time, I came to meet my lord, and secondly, I specially asked my lord for advice on the relationship between the two countries. The Guishuang envoy said, his eyes were gentle, and he didn't dare to look directly at Guo Jia, and his attitude was extremely respectful. However, when the light swept over Guo Jia in the hall, he secretly praised in his heart: this person is really worthy of being the most trusted minister of the Great Chu Emperor, although he is prodigal on the surface, his appearance and temperament are indeed chic and extraordinary.
If Yuan Shu knew this, he would definitely be greatly relieved in his heart. You must know that Guo Jia was really a veritable prodigal in the early days, almost all of the pornography, gambling and drugs were contaminated, taking five stones, wandering the land of flowers and willows, eating, drinking and having fun, and the already thin body was ruined by it. Although it seems that his temperament is indeed extraordinary, he is actually pale and weak. When he first came to Jiangdong, Yuan Shu asked Zhang Zhongjing to show him, and he came to a conclusion at that time, this product can live to forty if it goes on like this.
For such a long time, after the conditioning of Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, Guo Jia's body gradually improved and recovered his health, and Yuan Shu also put a lot of thought into this product.
What is most important in the eyes of the monarch? Talent.
It is easy to get good generals for thousands of troops, and it goes without saying that talents are important. Yuan Shu is extremely eager for and attaches great importance to talents, not only focusing on the cultivation of the next generation of talents, but also including the protection of existing talents.
With Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, the two medical bosses, present, Yuan Shu set a small goal for them, extending the normal lifespan of his important strategists and generals to more than seventy. With these two great divine doctors regularly and individually conditioning, coupled with a variety of food supplements, medicinal baths and five poultry plays, under the combination of internal and external, an ordinary person can become as strong as an ox, and it is more than enough to become a third-rate military general with a little training. Yuan Shu didn't ask them to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he asked them to have more self-protection ability and live for a few more years.
"Allies? This matter is not difficult, the Er Dayue clan was originally allied with my Han people, but they have cut off contact for decades, and I will say a good word or two in front of Your Majesty for your gifts. Guo Jia's heart moved, and his face did not change.
Everything was just as they expected, Guishuang really didn't turn his face with them because he had helped him with the body poison, but came to ask for help.
"My lord, my Guishan and the Central Plains have been friendly since ancient times, and they are friendly neighbors. Now, our country has been invaded by poison for no reason, and we have to fight back to meet the enemy. However, the enemy country is powerful, and our Guishan country is weak and difficult to resist, so the king of our country specially sent us to ask for help from Da Chu, hoping that Da Chu can send a royal division to help us and crusade against the country where the wolf ambition and trouble-making are caused by poison. The Kushan envoy knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and said in a sad tone.
The corners of ......his mouth twitched faintly, and Guo Jia had a sentence in his heart that he didn't know whether to say it or not.
If it were an uninformed Hanchen, seeing the pitiful appearance of the Guishan envoy, maybe he would really think about it with a soft heart, after all, this is also the "little brother" who has paid tribute for many years, how can he not help. At the very least, Guishuang is much closer than the remote and less connected body poison, so he can't help outsiders. And without mentioning the matter of soldiers, it is normal to cut off trade and material support with the body poison in a fit of rage, and instead support Guishan.
But that was because the Han Dynasty had too narrow vision, thinking that except for the Han Dynasty, they were all poor and weak countries, and they didn't know much about these countries in Guishan. Even the Han Dynasty once thought that Wusun was the overlord of the Western Regions, and Guishan and Body Poison had never heard of it. Of course, there is a period of history that is so, but it has long since become the old yellow calendar.
Now that Da Chu is eyeing foreign countries, Guo Jia knows very well what the situation of Guishuang and body poison is. The two of them can't beat Guishuang when they are tied up with poison, and they pretend to be bullied with the face of a weak country, and they are an empire, and they really have no discipline at all. At the beginning, that place was poisonous, and from the standpoint of others, it could be regarded as a just battle to recover the lost land and wash away the shame of the country.
I really think that Da Chu Xinli doesn't know anything about your situation! We've been eyeing you for a long time.
I have to say that Guishuang has done a good job of making the minister's homework, this set of rhetoric is reasonable, and his identity is also very low, if the former Hanchen heard this, he would inevitably be scratched and helped. The Han is the most popular, both righteous and flattering, but also loyal, being touted like this, that is, knowing that the big man who has been wronged is refreshed, not to mention sending troops, at least he will help one or two, in order to show the demeanor of the country.
But it's a pity that the Guishan envoys don't know the current situation of the upper echelons of Da Chu, and they think that they have no ambition for them as before and like to be stinky feet. When he said these words to Guo Jia, he simply threw his eyes on the blind man and worked in vain, which aroused Guo Jia's vigilance and disgust even more, after all, no one wants to be played by fools.
"Although my Great Chu is strong and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, I am busy with the war in the north now, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will not want to pay attention to these small things." Since the other party has acting skills, Guo Jia is naturally willing to play with the other party, and said with a slight frown on the surface.
"My lord, the poison has now been overwhelmed by the army, and my Guishuang is already in danger, and I hope that the kingdom can remember the friendship between the two countries for hundreds of years and help each other!" The Kushan envoy looked sad and fell to his knees like a cuckoo weeping blood.
“......”
This scene is so familiar, and the maids on both sides of the hall are united in their hearts. Almost every envoy who came here would make such a play, and they were a little numb. This is nothing in front of them, there were a few ruthless people who not only cried tears, but also beat their feet and coughed up a lot of blood, so that these maids had to wipe the floor several times each time, so that the ground in the center of the hall was obviously much smoother and brighter than the surroundings.
"Your envoy, please get up, I'm not unwilling to help, but I really can't spare people now. But..."Guo Jia said helplessly.
The Kushan messenger lying on the ground moved his ears, and his crying suddenly stopped, but he still lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
He knew at least a little bit about Da Chu's current situation, and naturally understood that Da Chu couldn't help at all, not to mention the enemy in the north, just the distance of thousands of miles basically cut off the possibility of sending troops. The Guishan envoy didn't plan to let Da Chu send troops, but he just sat on the ground to repay the money and seize the opportunity first.
"Although I, Da Chu, cannot send troops, I can help your country in other places. If your country is willing, we will ask Your Majesty for orders, give your country certain material support, and increase commercial trade between the two sides, after all, my Great Chu is rich in resources, rich in people, and prolific in silk, tea, etc., and your country can earn a lot of money as soon as it changes hands. Guo Jiadao.
"Is this true? I heard that the body poison has also strengthened trade with the kingdom, but I don't know my Guishan? The Kushan envoy said cautiously.
"You can rest assured that Kushan has been in contact with our country for hundreds of years, how can my lord not know? Naturally, it will be biased towards your country, but..."Guo Jiadao.
"Please speak up."
"My lord is naturally fond of luxury, prefers exotic beasts, strange and ingenious skills, and the previous poison and other countries were only because they offered a lot of treasures to please Your Majesty, which made Your Majesty willing to help." Guo Jiadao.
"There are also many rare craftsmen in our country, who will never be inferior to body poison, and will definitely satisfy Your Majesty." The Guishan envoy hurriedly said. Just kidding, they Guishan started as two dealers, occupying the Silk Road, traveling from south to north, east and west, and the richness of treasures is absolutely second to none, and it is not comparable to poison.
"That's just right. However, because there are too many treasures offered by the country, His Majesty's love for them seems to have declined a little, and even if your country can offer a large number of treasures, I am afraid it will be difficult to make His Majesty too happy. Guo Jia pretended to be difficult.
"So what?" The Kushan envoy hurriedly asked.
"Well, I know that Your Majesty has a problem now, and if your country can solve it, it will definitely make Your Majesty happy." Guo Jia said mysteriously.
The Guishan envoy hurriedly pricked up his ears, but Guo Jia didn't say anything, and his eyes fluttered on the gift list he was playing with in his right hand. After a moment of silence, seeing that there was no follow-up, and then looking at Guo Jia's movements and expressions, the Guishan envoy suddenly understood, and said respectfully: "My lord, this gift is just a little bit of the heart of the king of our country, and there will be a big gift after that." ”
When Guo Jia heard this, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he gently put the gift slip in his right hand on the table, and said with a smile: "How dare you do that!" However, since the king of your country is so gracious, Jia is not easy to refuse, so thank you to the king of your country. ”
"The demeanor of my lord, my king has admired it for a long time, and I have always been because of my confidant, what is a little gift, please don't shirk it." The Kushan Envoy said with a smile on his face.
"Hmm. I didn't say it before, His Majesty of Great Chu is curious and luxurious, but he doesn't value yellow and white things. Recently, His Majesty wanted to build a large number of palaces for living and pleasure, but his subordinates lacked craftsmen and slaves, and wanted to recruit the common people, but the ministers of the court and the central government did everything possible to prevent them. If your kingdom could trade with slaves or craftsmen instead of money, your majesty would be pleased. Guo Jia showed his fox tail and smiled.
