In mid-July, Zhao Pu returned to Changsha and reported to Ma Yun, the king of Chu, about the envoy Li Tang. Accompanied by Feng Yanlu, the younger brother of Feng Yansi, who was a member of Li Tang's Tongzhongshu Sect, Feng Yanlu had a small official position, just a Zhongshu scholar, but he was the most common person to see Li Jing among the five ghosts of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he had a great influence on Li Jing.
Feng Yanlu's main purpose in coming to Chu was to find Ma Yun, the king of Chu, to discuss matters related to the southern expedition. Zhao Pu went to Li Tang, but he repeatedly said that I was very poor in Da Chu, there was no food for the war, and Li Jing wanted to exchange land for food, Zhao Pu agreed yes, but where to change, Zhao Pu pushed three or six five, saying that I couldn't be the master. In desperation, Li Jing sent Feng Yanlu as an envoy to Chu to negotiate with Ma Yun. Originally, there were two international friends who were more familiar with the Chu State: one was Wei Cen, but he was invited by Zhao Kuangyin to Bianjing as a guest, and he couldn't come back for a while; The other is Chen Jue, this Chen Jue is in a pacification place in Fujian to show off his might, and he is not available. Therefore, I had to send a newcomer - Feng Yanlu.
Feng Yanlu came at a bad time, these two days were just in time for the concubine of Ma Yunna, the king of Chu, and it was Zhang Qian, the second daughter of the Zhang family in Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang). The entire Changsha City was very lively, and Ma Yun, the king of Chu, was newly married Yan'er, and he didn't have time to receive Feng Yanlu. But for major military events, Feng Yanlu couldn't wait. So that he either went to the Privy Council of Chu State every day, or went to Zhongshu Province under the door, or went to Shangshutai to be on duty.
In this way, whether it is Wang Yun, Li Xiang, or Xu Zhongya, Fan Zhen, He Zhongju and others, they are all annoyed. So, they entrusted Zhao Pu to continue to accompany Feng Yanlu throughout the process. Zhao Pu is enthusiastic, this Feng Yanlu is a scholar, and he is a stranger in a foreign land, so he is not too rude. So, this Zhao Pu took Feng Yanlu to travel the Xiangjiang River and climb Yuelu Mountain, the days passed like a white horse, and it was the end of July in a blink of an eye, Feng Yanlu was in a hurry. Before leaving, he patted his chest and promised that he would absolutely complete the task, and persuaded the Chu State to cede territory in exchange for food. It was precisely because of Feng Yanlu's oath that the Li Tang court had already started in an all-round way, with Cha Wenhui as the supervisor and Bian Hao as the commander, dispatching troops, hoarding military rations, and preparing to go south in September.
But here, there is no movement in the Chu country, and it is said that Ma Yun, the king of Chu, only came out to see things after his honeymoon. Isn't it just to marry a concubine? I want to honey for a month, hey...
"Lord Zhao, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, when will I be able to come out to see things? You also know that this military event can't afford to delay at all. Feng Yanlu said anxiously.
Zhao Pu's face was difficult, he glanced at the direction of the Chu Palace, and said, "This... Newlywed Yan'er, Lord Feng should be considerate and considerate of my king. This, you can rest assured, it should not be a problem to send troops in September. ”
Feng Yanlu glanced at Zhao Pu and said, "Lord Zhao, can you go to the Chu Palace, and report one or two for the officials." This... This matter is unresolved, and Xia Guan's heart is always hanging in the air, is it not good to eat, and he can't sleep well? You see... ”
Zhao Pu also sighed and said: "This matter, we still have to wait for the king to come out by himself, the lower official rashly entered the palace, in case he angered my king, then hey... You don't want to see me belittled. ”
Feng Yanlu saw that Zhao Pu had no intention of going, and he was uneasy in his heart, and sighed heavily.
Zhao Pu glanced at Feng Yanlu and said, "To be honest, this matter is unresolved, not only is it not good for my Great Chu, but it is also not good for your country, and for you, Lord Feng, the disadvantages are even more." Ay... Especially Lord Feng, you came with the subordinate again, seeing you so embarrassed, the subordinate can't bear it. ”
Feng Yanlu didn't bother to move, he just sighed and said, "Yes." ”
"Right now, the king is newly married, and he must be very happy in his heart, if those happy things happen, the lower officials can still enter the palace to play. But if there are some things that disappoint the fun, the lower officials will eat the courage of the ambitious leopard, and they will not dare to enter the palace. ”
Feng Yanlu listened to Zhao Pu's words and felt that there was a way. He hurriedly raised his head and said, "Lord Zhao, Chu and Tang have united in the southern expedition, and your country has expanded to more than 20 states, how to say it, it is also a great joy." You see... ”
Zhao Pu smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, my Great Chu Zeng and Lord Wei Cen must have divided Lingnan equally between Chu and Tang. But now, your country wants our country to cede some more states and counties, which... I'm afraid that's not good news. ”
Feng Yanlu's eyes rolled, he understood what Zhao Pu meant, this kid wants to eat white food, that can't be done, I don't count if I say this. Feng Yanlu sat up straight, and said solemnly: "Lord Zhao, this time and that time." Didn't your country have a food shortage in the past? Right now, isn't our country going to lend your country 100,000 loads of military rations? If it weren't for the fact that this was 100,000 quintals of military rations, your country would not be able to send troops, and how could the more than 20 states in Lingnan fall into the hands of your country in vain. Therefore, exchanging some states and counties for 100,000 loads of military rations is also a proper meaning. With the magnanimity of the King of Chu, he must have readily agreed. Just ask Lord Zhao to speak on your behalf. ”
Zhao Pu glanced at Feng Yanlu embarrassedly, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "That's it, I'll take on this responsibility for Lord Feng." I just don't know, which states and counties are your country going to ask for? He glanced at Feng Yanlu and said, "Lord Feng, you have to tell the truth, if the asking price is too high, I really can't do anything." ”
Feng Yanlu blinked his eyes and said, "My king is going to Lianzhou (now Lianxian, Guangdong), Hezhou (now Hexian, Guangxi), Wuzhou, Xinzhou (now Xinxing, Guangdong), and Enzhou (now Yangjiang, Guangdong). ”
Zhao Pu's face was blank, he stood up, and walked away.
"Lord Zhao, don't worry, don't worry. There is also a discussion. Feng Yanlu shouted from behind. As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu said a little angrily: "Today's events are all out of friendship. Otherwise, how could Zhao Pu be willing to take his life and speak for Your Excellency. Since Lord Feng is unwilling to be honest with each other, please ask Lord Feng to wait for my king's summons. ”
"Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao, I lost my words. If your country can cede Lianzhou, Xinzhou, and Enzhou to our country, I Datang is willing to send 100,000 loads of military rations. ”
"Lianzhou was originally the land of my Great Chu, and I am afraid it will not be justified when I say this."
"Lord Zhao, this... This Lianzhou was discussed between Lord Wei Cen and your country last time, and it was used to repay the 5o million silver that our king funded the king of Chu back then. Feng Yanlu explained.
"Hmph... 5o million silver is only worth one Lianzhou, and 100,000 loads of military rations are worth the land of Xinzhou and Enzhou? ”
"This..." Feng Yanlu stopped his mouth, and only after a while did he say: "But it is enough to seek innovation and even Erzhou." Then, he said earnestly: "This is my bottom line of Datang." ”
Zhao Pu smiled.
