Chapter 707: Movement in Stillness
On the third day of August 200 in the first year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, the envoys of the Western Regions arrived in Beiping, the capital of the Han Dynasty. Wide and flat roads, neat and orderly farmland, bustling and noisy cities, and the countryside where chickens and dogs smell each other, all of this is silently declaring to them the wealth and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and now the personal welcome of the prince of Yan Wang makes them feel flattered, and Beiping City is like a dream-like city, and the majesty and wealth of this city alone can almost be worth their entire country.
In the escort of the majestic queue of soldiers of the personal guard battalion, the envoys of the Western Regions also felt the friendliness of the Han people, many of them welcomed their arrival on both sides of the street, and the majestic and huge palace city in the east of the city, its magnificence These envoys never imagined in their dreams, this is the powerful Han in the mouths of those merchants and envoys, which has undoubtedly exceeded their expectations!
In a palatial palace, the envoys of the Western Regions saw the graceful and luxurious woman who now represents the highest power of the Han Dynasty, and also saw the most powerful man of the Han Dynasty. For these envoys from the Western Regions, they may not be able to figure out what kind of state Queen Fu is in who exercise the power of the Son of Heaven for a while, but their acceptance of women's power is even greater than that of the Central Plains, but the awe of powerful power is everyone, the majestic and imposing mountain man gave them the greatest shock, he did not show too much enthusiasm, although he treated them politely, it was completely a feeling of a superior treating a subordinate, but there was no dissatisfaction in the hearts of the envoys of the Western Regions, They had heard too many rumors about this man, and the Huns, who could make them fearful, bow their heads, and it was clear that he had the right to do so.
It is undeniable that there has always been a great power plot in Liu Yi's heart, and it is just a matter of course for all countries to come to the dynasty after he dominates the country, which is not to ignore, but that feeling of self-confidence is innate, Huaxia has been known as the state of etiquette since ancient times, but Liu Yi in this world wants to adjust it slightly, and it is still a state of etiquette internally, and a word difference externally, a state of prestige! The majesty of the Han comes first, and only then can he show his etiquette.
This is not only for these countries in the Western Regions, but also for the Xiongnu and Wuhuan Liu Yi in the procedure is also a general treatment, everything is based on me, when I arrive in the territory of the Han Dynasty, I have to accept his arrangement, the current meeting process did not last too long, after accepting the letters and gifts of various countries, Fu Hou ordered to retreat from the court, as for the return gift until they left. This is the first time that the envoys of the Western Regions have seen Liu Yi, the king of Yan, on this trip, and it is also the last time, until they left the capital of the Han Dynasty, this powerful man has not appeared in front of them, but the awe of the envoys has not weakened because of this, which seems to be one of the manifestations of the strong!
The envoys of the Western Regions were arranged in the Pavilion of Nations on the east side of the palace, which was newly built to welcome their arrival, according to the waiters, the environment here is elegant, the facilities are complete, and it is a rare enjoyment for them who have traveled thousands of miles. And then the itinerary was also arranged, the prince of Yan Wang took them to visit many places inside and outside Beiping City, the huge granary and armory, the Youzhou Academy where the sound of reading can be heard everywhere, and the Youzhou Horse Farm where thousands of horses gallop, the wealth of the Han Dynasty has been vividly reflected here! And the most memorable thing for them is the powerful army, they have the most neat queue and extremely strict military discipline, far away from a hundred paces can feel the fierce and awe-inspiring aura exuded by those soldiers, this kind of temperament envoys are not unfamiliar, it is the corpse mountain and the sea of blood crawling out!
Looking at the drill of such a male division, those warriors in their country seem to have become children, even the strong Xiongnu and Xianbei people are quite inferior to the warriors in front of them, in addition to the strong combat power, this army also has all kinds of magical artifacts, their stone cart can throw hundreds of pounds of boulders out of hundreds of steps and accurately hit the target, and there is a pair of terrifying existences hidden in the iron armor of the whole body, seeing that these envoys here are not only secretly comparing with their national capital, and the conclusion is very frustrating, If this hundred-battle division in front of them goes to attack their country, I am afraid that the longest support will not exceed half a month!
Those mountains of grain and grass, cold and shining ordnance made them very envious of the wealth of the Han, and these elite and brave soldiers made the envoys keep the strength of the Han in their hearts, such an army is by no means something they can compete with, but if they can get the protection of the Han, not to mention Wusun and Qiuzi, even if they are as strong as the Xiongnu, Xianbei cannot bring them a threat.
All of this was designed by Liu Yi and Liu Huan one by one before, of course, King Yan only played a role in mentioning it, and more practical operations were done by Liu Huan himself, these envoys from the Western Regions were not worth King Yan's too much effort, and perhaps there were no foreign envoys in Liu Yi's heart who were worth his labor. Through this means, it is easy to make the most intuitive impression of the other party, which is more effective than any words, and it has been proved that the arrangement of the father and son has a good effect, and the attitude of those envoys from the Western Regions is becoming more and more respectful day by day.
After the end of these trips, Liu Huan began to discuss the Western Regions with those envoys one by one, and out of the heart of the Han Dynasty, the envoys showed the greatest cooperation, so that Liu Huan's understanding of the Western Regions in this process has made great progress, and then they jointly asked the prince to report to the King of Yan, reset the Western Regions to protect and send elite soldiers to sit in the town, and they will also serve the Han Dynasty for generations, and the attitude of all the envoys at this time is extremely sincere.
For these, Liu Yi himself no longer has any interest in asking, he only spread the matter of the Western Regions mission to the entire Han Dynasty through the edict of the imperial court and the rumors of Tian'er, so as to achieve his goal of propaganda war. And now he is more concerned about the emergence of a new member in his family, Qin Yuyao gave birth to another son for him, Liu Yi is a gift, and Shaohong gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetal daughters, which makes Yan Wang overjoyed, plus Liu Li He already has seven sons, but the daughter is only Liu Yun alone, and now Sha Hong gave birth to another daughter for him, and Liu Yun, the little princess of Yanwangfu, will be accompanied by someone in the future, and with this skill, it is only a matter of time before Sha Hong goes further, plus Yang Yan's pregnancy, Today's Yanwang Mansion can indeed be called prosperous.
The affairs of the Western Regions are taken care of by Liu Huan, and the political and military affairs of the states of Youzhou are also developing steadily according to the planning of the early two years, although there are still a lot of gaps in military resources and materials and manpower, but this year is a particularly smooth year, with Wang Xi's prediction and reports from all over the world, Liu Yi can be sure that after the autumn harvest, his slight lack of materials will be greatly improved, and manpower with Zhang Rong going back and forth between the Han and the island again and again is also constantly replenished, The 30,000 that Liu Yi said that day has now been completed by Zhang Rong ahead of schedule, and after Bai Mo and the others joined, a major breakthrough has been made in the research of warships, and now Liu Yi is already thinking about whether to change the name of the naval army to the navy, because in his long-term planning, the Flying Tiger Army is not only used to dominate the world, they also have important tasks.
Therefore, in the past few days, King Yan can accompany a group of wives and concubines and children at home, which is obviously what all women want to see, as long as Liu Yi is at home, there will be no lack of laughter and laughter in King Yan's mansion, which has become more obvious recently, and the joy of adding Ding to his mouth makes the entire Yanwang Mansion seem happy. Recently, perhaps as he grows older, Liu Yi's children's heart has become stronger and stronger, and he wants to cultivate his second daughter with his own hands, watching them grow up one by one is also a kind of happiness that is not inferior to competing for world domination, maybe this happiness is more pure.
But at this moment, a change in the Han Dynasty was something Liu Yi had never expected, a passenger boat came along the Yangtze River waterway down the river in Ba County, the person at the bow of the boat was described as short, and his appearance was quite ugly, but there was an essence in his eyes, he was staring at the rolling river flowing endlessly under his feet, it was a bit poetic, this person's appearance would leave a very deep impression, and this person was also Liu Yi had seen, Yizhou Don't Drive Zhang Song Zhang Yongnian.
The weakness of Liu Zhang, the assassin of Yizhou, is well known to the world, originally because of the threat of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong where he succeeded to the throne, but now the situation is very different from another time and space, Liu Zhang's biggest help to ascend to the position of Yizhou assassin is that Liu Yi does not belong to this era, his existence greatly restrained Zhang Lu from seizing the heart of Shuzhong, because with the situation at that time, his north was Ma Teng, who had always been good friends with Liu Yi, and if he wanted to attack Shuzhong, he had to consider the threat of this person, Liu Yi pays attention to the interests of the clan.
Originally, this situation had been improved after Han Sui killed his brother, but under the instigation of Cao Cao, Zhang Lu and Han Sui jointly sent troops to Sizhou, and the result was self-evident, the coalition army was annihilated by Liu Yi, who came to meet him in person, and the territory of Sizhou, the loss of tens of thousands of elite soldiers made Zhang Lu lose the capital to enter Shuzhong, if Liu Zhang at this time was replaced by any of Cao Liu Sunzhong, his choice would definitely be to take the opportunity to take Hanzhong, but he was not after all, not only did he not listen to the opinions of his ministers, arrogant and lascivious? He was also even more radically changed by the disappearance of the threat, and to a greater extent than in another plane.
