Chapter 86: Heading South
China has a vast land and abundant resources, respects Confucianism, and pays attention to credibility. ? This diplomatic exchange often takes several months, and it is difficult for the envoy to contact the mother country, so naturally it cannot be like Europa, where there are many countries and the news is extremely flexible, so there is no permanent ambassador in China.
First, China has a vast territory, and after the envoy came out, the ability of the government of the mother country to remotely command was greatly reduced, resulting in the envoy being able to complete his own mission, and the rest of the affairs could not be done at all; Second, the Chinese, the Central Empire also. The Central Plains court has always regarded itself very highly, how could it send an envoy to stay in the vassal country and discuss affairs with these barbarians? What is it, it is not a holy decree of the emperor that can be determined. The ancient Chinese emperors were not as waste as in the TV dramas of later generations, and they were approached by some barbarians at every turn, and they were threatened and blackmailed by the barbarians in various ways. Whether the Xiongnu are strong or not, they were not driven to Europe by the Han Dynasty, Xianbei, Rouran and other tribes were arrogant for a while, and they were not destroyed by a few strategies in the Central Plains, and they turned into a passing cloud; As for the Turks, it is even more funny that they gave the Tang Emperor the honorific title of "Heavenly Khan" and prostrate at the feet of the Tang Dynasty.
Although after the death of the Tang Dynasty, the world was disturbed, and the various feudal towns lowered their stature in order to protect themselves and develop their lives, and the envoys came and went more frequently, but they still did not think of the idea of setting up a permanent ambassador.
This resident ambassador is still created by Ma Yunchuang. Of course, he could think of this trick, in fact, it was forced. Sending envoys to the Khitan, the Khitan people accepted the gift without pulling it, but they never gave a word of truth when they jointly sent troops. As for Liu Chong in Hedong, his thoughts are contradictory, he wants to fight Guo Wei, but he is afraid of being bitten by Guo Wei, so he hesitates, but he can't make up his mind to send troops.
In this case, they want to achieve their own goal of joint troops, but also do not want to increase costs. Ma Yun was forced to be helpless and remembered the ambassador system in later generations. Of course, this "embassy" full of the atmosphere of the times, Ma Yun thought about it again and again and gave up. Whether it is Liu Chong or the Khitans, let them carve out a piece of the territory of the "Chu State" in Taiyuan City and Shangjing (now Inner Mongolia) respectively, these people will definitely not do it. As a result, Li Tingru and Tian Yu, the envoys of the Chu State, bought a separate courtyard in Taiyuan and Shangjing respectively, and continued to stay in Hedong and Khitan on the grounds of "refusing to return to China if they did not achieve their goal", and lived all the year round, and came and went with Hedong and Khitan officialdom. For Liu Chong, the envoy mainly talked about the unpopularity of the pseudo-Zhou, as well as the mighty style of the Huanghuang Han Dynasty and the fame of the eight directions, and the Khitan, the envoy emphasized the wealth of the Central Plains, as well as the chic trip to the Central Plains of Yelu Deguang (of course, Yelu Lao'er died in the Central Plains, and the Khitan cavalry lost more than half of the matter, and the envoy was automatically filtered). Although there has been no substantial progress so far, it has had a relatively large impact in Hedong and Khitan. In particular, the people of Hedong did not do anything to see the envoys of the Chu State, but only talked about the matter of going south to fight, and gave the envoys of the Chu State an apt nickname "warmongers", while the Khitans seemed to have no culture, and called the envoy of the Chu State, Tian Yu, "killing talents".
Just when Li Tingru and Tian Yu were running around day and night in the officialdom of the two countries, the news of Dangshan's victory reached the northern country. The two of them immediately attracted the attention of the country where they were located, and suddenly everyone avoided them and turned into fragrant sweets.
And among them, Liu Chong, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Hedong, was the most eager. On the afternoon of the day he got the news, he invited Li Tingru, who was lying in Taiyuan City and refused to leave, which gave him a headache, into the palace in a grand manner.
"Master Li, Dangshan Victory, have you ever heard of it?" Liu Chong waited for Li Tingru to finish his visit, and then asked with a smile.
Li Tingru is now Chinese New Year's Eve two years old and entered the government in Changsha through the imperial examination. In the bureaucratic system of Chu State, he can be regarded as an old man, and he also has a good understanding of Ma Yunzhi's thoughts in the world, and he has a good grasp of Chu State's policies. He immediately replied: "Xiaguan has already got the news yesterday. ”
Liu Chong nodded, but after Li Tingru said this, he didn't continue. If it was a previous day, you have to ask, can the state of Chu defeat the pseudo-Zhou? Li Tingru laid out the facts, reasoned with reason, and thoroughly analyzed the situation one by one, from the people's will to the people's economy, from the country's major policies to the various situations in the market, from astronomical auspiciousness to geographical warnings. People can't help but think about it. But now, Li Tingru simply replied "I know".
Liu Chong pondered for a while, and seeing that Li Tingru didn't mean to continue, he sat on the throne, twisted his buttocks twice, and finally felt itchy and asked, "I don't know what your army's next move is?" ”
Li Tingru asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, what do you think we should do next?" ”
"Do you have to continue to go north and take Songzhou?"
"The forces of the Eastern Front of the Puppet Zhou were all wiped out in the Battle of Dangshan. Hum... Does Your Majesty think that the pseudo-Zhou can still hold Songzhou? Li Tingru glanced at the eager Liu Chong and said calmly.
"That... Is your army going to attack Bianjing next? Liu Chong asked. Liu Chong also knows the situation of the pseudo-Zhou, and now it seems that the state of Chu not only has the upper hand, but if it can take Bianjing, the state of Chu will have an overwhelming advantage. In this way, the short-lived equilibrium of the Central Plains was broken. The south of the Yellow River must have been annexed by the Chu State, but north of the Yellow River, I don't know if the Chu State has this meaning?
Li Tingru said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the lower officials dare to assert that within half a month, our king will definitely go north to attack Bianjing." Shame for the Great Han and revenge for Emperor Yizong (posthumously presented to Liu Chengyou by the State of Chu), it's just today! Li Tingru faintly pointed out that Da Chu sent troops to attack Zhou, not for himself, but for the revenge of Da Han, since Da Chu stuck a knife in his friend's ribs, you, a decent descendant of the Han Dynasty, should always show a little.
Sure enough, Liu Chongyi changed his smiling expression, stood up "openly", and said: "Guo thief has been bullying me for a long time, I... I'm just thinking about ... Remembering the suffering of the people, let him go. I didn't expect him to have to inch in, kill the emperor, and force my son to death, and I and Guo Thief are incompatible. Today, I want to form a brotherly country with Da Chu and jointly send troops to take revenge, I don't know if Mr. is willing to convey the goodwill of the Han to the emperor of your country! ”
"Your Majesty, the next time I came to praise my lord's will. I lord Zhou, one is to avenge your country, the second is to save the people of the Central Plains, and the third is to declare justice and crusade against the traitors. Your Majesty's agreement to unite the troops is a great act of kindness, and I will report it to my lord at once. Li Tingru said with an oath. Liu Chong attributed the reason for sending troops to the suffering of the people, and Li Tingru naturally had to summarize the significance of the Great Chu and Zhou from a high position.
