Chapter 1441: The Peace War (I)
When Zhao Yun heard this, he seemed to have this thought in his heart, and he replied.
"Most of these are in line with His Highness's thoughts. The king is worthy of being like a god, far-sighted, and has been instructed earlier, if he captures the five counties of Wunan, Cao Cao will not dare to attack, and he will value peace. If this man is talking about peace and war, it will be exactly what the king wants! ”
Zhao Yun said that, so he taught people to prepare a banquet, and then went out of the city with Wen Shun to greet him. When I was young, outside Changle City, I saw a carriage decorated with dignity, there were about dozens of people around the carriage, the first one was dressed in gorgeous clothes, eight feet long, beautiful beard and eyebrows, and the face was majestic and solemn, although he was nearly fifty years old, but the light in his eyes shimmered, and he knew that he was not an ordinary person at a glance. Suddenly, at the opening of the city gate, Zhao Yun and Wen Shun still had dozens of riders and rode out. When Zhao Yun saw the fifty-year-old man, he turned over and jumped, and then dismounted and bowed his hands.
"Yun Jiu admires the name of Guan Gong, and seeing it today is really a blessing for Yun. Yun has prepared a banquet in the city, and invited the prince to come into the city for a gathering. ”
Zhao Yun could see at a glance that the fifty-year-old man was extraordinary, just as expected, that person was Guan Ning. Guan Ning bowed slightly, bowed, and said calmly.
"The name of Longhou is like thunder, and it is a blessing to be able to meet Longhou. However, this time there is something important on the body, and this matter is related to the well-being of the people of the Great Wei and Western Tang Dynasties. Ning dare to be lazy, and hope to discuss important matters with the Dragon Marquis first. ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, his expression sank and he smiled indifferently. Wen Shun walked over at this time, Guan Ning saw that Wen Shun was young, but he had an extraordinary bearing and a heroic posture, and couldn't help but look at it. Wen Shun bowed his hand, very modest and polite.
"Wen Zixi has seen Guan Gong."
"Oh? His Royal Highness is the unicorn? ”
Guan Ning's eyes lit up, he looked at him tightly, and then returned the salute. Wen Shun said with a smile.
"It's just a name. Shuncai is shallow in learning, and please give more advice to the public. ”
Guan Ning saw that Wen Shun's status was noble, but he was humble and modest, and sighed secretly. At this time, Zhao Yun said with a smile beside him.
"It is admirable that the public can put official affairs first, and this is not the place to speak. Please also ask Guan Gong to enter the city with Yun to discuss. When Guan Ning heard this, he answered, gave an order to his entourage, and bowed to Zhao Yun and Wen Shun before returning to the carriage. After a while, Zhao Yun and Wen Shun also got on the horse. So, Guan Ning and the others entered the city with Zhao Yun and Wen Shun.
In the Changle Mansion, Zhao Yun sat in the high hall, and Wen Shun and Guan Ning each took the second seat. Zhao Yun sank his face, and then smiled with Guan Ning.
"I don't know what happened to the princess?"
When Guan Ning heard this, his face was dignified, and he replied with an arch on the table.
"In recent years, Shu Han was destroyed by the Western Tang Dynasty, and the Eastern Wu also perished. The world has become the Great Wei and the Western Tang Dynasty, and the two heroes are competing for hegemony. However, the world has been fighting for many years, and the people are struggling to make a living. At present, if the two countries go to war, they will definitely be devastated, and it is not the wish of the people of the world. I am the emperor of Great Wei, who is eloquent and strategic, close to the people like a son, and I am unwilling to use a large army, hoping to make peace with your country. The land of Wu is divided into north and south, and each is taken according to its own needs. I don't know what the dragon marquis wants? ”
Guan Ning did not make any provocations, nor did he accuse Xitang of taking advantage of the situation. After all, the matter has been so far, and the world is owned by the Great Wei and Western Tang Dynasty. The two countries are equal in power, not equal, and both have the heart to dominate the world. Although the two countries are now discussing peace and war, sooner or later they will go to war and mobilize troops until the whole world is unified. Guan Ning didn't want to do useless things, and he didn't want to anger Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun listened to Guan Ning's directness, his face was slightly stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a bright smile.
"Emperor Wei is so benevolent and righteous, which is really a blessing for the people of the two countries."
"In this way, please also ask the Marquis of Long to inform the King of the Western Tang Dynasty, and then discuss the matter of peace and war in detail, okay?"
Guan Ning's face was plain, but his actions were resolute and straightforward, and he went straight to the point. Zhao Yun smiled even more, suddenly took out a document from his arms, and said unhurriedly.
"There's no need to do anything else. My king of the Western Tang Dynasty has the wisdom of passing through the heavens and latitudes, and he has already made calculations, and not long ago he personally sent someone to write a book. There is a saying that if Emperor Wei is willing to make peace, peace should be precious. He also taught Yun to hand over the book to the Wei envoy and handed it over to Emperor Wei. ”
As soon as Zhao Yun said this, Guan Ning, who had always been calm and determined, couldn't help but change his complexion, his eyes widened, and he was full of horror. However, Guan Ning was indeed not an idle person, and soon stabilized his demeanor and attended the bow.
"The king of the Western Tang Dynasty is really a god and a man, but he hates the mountains and the high grounds, and he would rather not see the majesty in person."
Zhao Yun laughed, and then instructed the left and right attendants to transfer the documents to Guan Ning. Guan Ning took it with both hands and put it in his arms, his expression had returned to normal, but there was still a little horror in his eyes.
It seems that Wenhan, the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, had long expected that Wu Nan would fall into the hands of his army, and this far-sightedness really made people have to admire. And among them, I don't know whether Wen Han values Zhao Yun's ability, or despises the fact that Great Wei has no one and is not his opponent, so he has this move. Thinking of this, Guan Ning sighed secretly in his heart, and he didn't know the sweetness for a while. It is conceivable that the Great Wei spent hundreds of thousands of troops, lost troops and lost generals, and then broke through Wu County and captured Sun Quan. I thought that Wu Land was all owned, but half of it was taken away by the yellow finch of Xitang. If Guan Ning is not angry in his heart, it is absolutely impossible. However, the times are pressing, and Guan Ning can only endure it. But now, when I heard that Wen Han had already predicted that his country would not dare to start a war with him, he had a great sense of contempt, and his heart was naturally uncomfortable.
Zhao Yun has been doing things for many years, and his eyes are old and spicy, and when he saw that Guan Ning was a little uncomfortable, he appeased him with kind words and invited Guan Ning to have a banquet together. Guan Ning didn't seem to have this intention, and after bowing his hand to thank him, he said that he was running around for days and was unwell, and he thought that his Great Wei Emperor was eager to fight, and after resting for a night, he wanted to leave. Zhao Yun heard that he didn't force it, so he allowed it. Guan Ning bowed and retreated. Not long after he left, Zhao Yun's face sank, and he said to Wen Shun.
"What does His Highness think Emperor Cao Cao of Wei wants to make peace with this time?"
Wen Shun's eyes lit up, as if he had expected it, even if he replied.
"Cao Cao's war against Wu this time consumed national strength, and he heard that the Central Plains was full of grievances. Cao Cao did not have many troops in northern Wu, but he did not have many troops, and he fought many vicious battles, all of which were tired. The reason why Cao Cao dared to send Zhang Jaw and Jiang Wei to take Wu Nan was because Wu Nan was empty. At this time, I saw that our army was able to seize the five counties of southern Wu and occupy a favorable geographical position. What's more, the people of Wu have a deep hatred for their country, but if Cao Cao raises a large army to attack, he will definitely rise up to resist. Cao Cao was not expected by the people of Wu, and his army was tired, knowing that it was not the enemy of our army, so he endured it for the time being, made peace with our country, and waited for him to accumulate ji
g raise Rui, stabilize the situation, and inevitably raise the army of the country to fight with my Xitang!! ”
Wen Shun has been analyzing one or two since he heard that Guan Ning came to see him, and what he said here was orderly, clear and reasonable, and Zhao Yun sighed with a sigh when he heard Zhao Yun bow his head again and again.
In this way, the people of the world can still have stability and peace for several years. It's just that once these few years have passed, the Western Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei will go to war, which will be earth-shattering, the war will be raging, and the lives will be ruined~! ”
Wen Shun heard the melancholy and unbearability implied in Zhao Yun's tone, and he also sighed slightly, and said in a condensed voice.
"The so-called heaven has no two days, the earth has no two kings, the family has no two masters, there are no two lords, and the people have no two masters. If you want to end the troubled times, the only way is to unify the world. Even though my father is willing to make a truce here, share the world with the Great Wei, and not invade each other, I am afraid that the Wei Emperor Cao Cao will not stop there!! ”
What Wen Shun said was very incisive, Zhao Yun heard it, and he realized a lot, his eyes became firm, and he smiled with Wen Shun.
"It seems that although His Royal Highness is young, he has seen the way of this troubled world more thoroughly than Benhou."
"Shun is talking nonsense, and he still hopes that the Marquis of Long will be strange."
Wen Shun is modest, afraid to respond. Zhao Yun waved his hand, and the dragon's eyes were mighty, and he said to Wen Shun.
"The great war is coming soon, there is a saying that there is no danger, and martial arts should not be wasted. I'll see if His Highness's martial arts have regressed. ”
"Long Hou is willing to advise, Shun naturally can't ask for it!"
Wen Shun's sword eyes lit up, and like Zhao Yun, he was a complete martial idiot. And Zhao Yun is also full of praise for Wen Shun's talent, and intends to teach martial arts all his life. At that moment, Zhao Yun and Wen Shun went to the inner hall and went to the backyard to learn and practice.
Let's say that a few days later, Guan Ning returned to Wu County and came to see Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw Guan Ning returning, his expression seemed to be unspeakable, and he couldn't help frowning, and asked coldly.
"What!? Could it be that Zhao Zilong didn't know what to do, and he humiliated Yu Qing's family!? ”
When Guan Ning heard this, he hurriedly bowed and replied in a deep voice.
"Definitely. Returning to His Majesty, Zhao Zilong has promised to make peace, and he has treated him politely, without provocation or insult. ”
"Oh? In fact, if I didn't teach you, I would wait for Wen Bufan's reply in Changle first, while secretly probing the thunder cannon, and only then return when there is a result!? ”
Cao Cao was slightly stunned, Guan Ning has always been a good person, not leaking, real, strict with himself, and rarely makes mistakes. This is not Zhao Yun's humiliating words and drinking to make him return, why did this Guan Ning return so quickly? Guan Ning's heart twitched, and he wanted to speak and rest. Cao Cao stared at him carefully, full of undoubted majesty, and shouted in a condensed voice.
"The Qing family has something to say!! Don't worry!! ”
Guan Ning was bitter in his heart, sighed secretly, took out a document from his arms, and said to Cao Cao.
"According to what Zhao Zilong said, the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, Wen Bufan, had already expected that His Majesty would make peace with his country, and send a document as soon as possible, so that Zhao Zilong would be handed over to our country's envoy. Wechen discussed on the same day, and the matter of peace and war was convenient for the end of the day. Afterwards, Weichen wanted to go to investigate, but found that there were people secretly monitoring everywhere, those people were agile, and they were also more tolerant and good at concealment. After Weichen returned to the post station, he had the intention of going out to inspect at the beginning, the third watch, and the fifth watch, but he was intercepted on the way. Weichen was afraid of alarming Zhao Zilong, so he eagerly returned. I have high hopes for Your Majesty and am willing to be punished!! ”
When Cao Cao heard this, his momentum suddenly burst out, and a pair of fine eyes narrowed tightly, like a surge of anger. He only listened to Guan Ning's previous words, and almost didn't hear a word of the latter words in his ears, his tone was cold and murderous, but he grinned inexplicably, and said with a smile.
"Hand me the paperwork!"
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, all the civil and military officers in the hall felt their hearts tremble, Guan Ning was even more trembling, and hurriedly handed over the documents to the courtiers who rushed over, and the courtiers tiptoed to Cao Cao. Cao Cao took the paperwork, opened it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more the smile on his face was better, but the chill was even more cold. After seeing it, Cao Cao laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha!! Although you are thousands of miles away, you are strategizing!! This matter is expected by you!! ”
Although Cao Cao is laughing, but what does it mean, the civil and military forces do not dare to guess without authorization, after all, the companion is like a tiger, if he accidentally provokes Cao Cao and is killed, wouldn't he be wronged? As a result, in the main hall, none of the dozens of civil and military officers dared to admonish. Cao Cao's laughter echoed endlessly in the hall for a long time. Cao Zhang's golden eyes were magnificent, full of murderous aura, and he wanted to attend the Dao Talk, but Cao Pi secretly stopped him and hurriedly cast a look. When Cao Zhang saw this, he suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, as if he had been greatly humiliated. It is no wonder that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Wei Dynasty has been the largest country in the world. In Cao Zhang's eyes, the reason why the Western Tang Dynasty, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu were able to stand side by side with the Great Wei was that the time had not yet come.
Unexpectedly, the Western Tang Dynasty became an outlier, not only destroying the Shu Han country, but also snatching food from the tiger's mouth and taking more than half of the land of Eastern Wu. What's more, he despised Great Wei so much, and it was expected that Cao Cao would not dare to go to war and would be willing to suffer this great humiliation. Cao Zhang has always regarded his father as a god, how could he let Cao Cao suffer such a great humiliation!?
Cao Pi saw that Cao Zhang was furious, and he was about to run away, so he hurriedly whispered.
"The third brother Hugh wants to act rashly! At this time, the situation in northern Wubei is not stable, and the Central Plains is full of complaints, and it is definitely not the time to start a war with the Western Tang Dynasty!
