The emperor sent someone to deliver a letter to Guo Chongtao, and he asked the person who sent the letter to be sure to give the letter to Guo Chongtao before Guo Chongtao met Gao Jixing.

After the person who sent the letter received the emperor's order, he hurriedly chased Guo Chongtao, but he didn't catch up after him for a long time.

Because Guo Chongtao has a strong sense of responsibility, after he received the task given to him by the emperor, he hurried forward. He couldn't wait to complete the emperor's task as soon as possible.

Who knows, there are times when there is a strong sense of responsibility and mistakes.

The person who delivered the letter was dumbfounded when he saw that he had chased all the way and failed to catch up with Guo Chongtao.

The person who delivered the letter saw that he was about to arrive in Jingzhou, and after arriving in Jingzhou, there were so many streets in Jingzhou, and there were so many trading shops in Jingzhou, and it was even more difficult to find Guo Chongtao.

At this time, what made the messenger even more anxious was: if Guo Chongtao arrived in Jingzhou, he would soon go to see Gao Jixing! Guo Chongtao went to see Gao Jixing, after he went, he would definitely want to see Gao Jixing as soon as possible!

******

At this time, Guo Chongtao had indeed rushed to Jingzhou.

When Guo Chongtao arrived in Jingzhou, it was evening, and after he arrived in Jingzhou, he asked people to actively publicize his meeting with Gao Jixing this time.

Gao Jixing heard that Li Tang's emperor had sent a special envoy Guo Chongtao to come, and he also actively arranged to meet.

Soon, Gao Jixing arranged it and saw Guo Chongtao the next morning.

******

The next day, Guo Chongtao saw Gao Jixing go.

Gao Jixing was the first person Guo Chongtao wanted to meet on this trip to the south.

As for Gao Jixing's situation, I said it when Guo Chongtao first went to the south. The name of his country is "Nanping", and the capital of other countries is Jingzhou.

However, Gao Jixing's Jingzhou is different from Jingzhou in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although they are the same place, the areas under their jurisdiction are very different. Jingzhou in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" manages a large area around Jingzhou, and Gao Jixing's Jingzhou only governs a small area outside Jingzhou.

As mentioned above, Gao Jixing's Nanping Kingdom is also the weakest of the seven southern countries, the smallest one in area, the least populous of the seven southern countries, the least trooped among the seven southern countries, the least dangerous one among the seven southern countries, and the easiest one to be attacked among the seven southern countries.

Or every time Guo Chongtao travels, the first stop is Nanping in Gao Jixing. Because he is the easiest to "break", because if he is "taken" first, there is a possibility that other countries will follow.

However, don't underestimate Gao Jixing too much. Although Gao Jixing's Nanping Kingdom is the smallest in area, the smallest in population, and the least in troops, he also has his uniqueness. It is that he is a member of the "Alliance of Seven", and if he is in trouble, the other countries in the south will help him.

This may be the reason why Gao Jixing has remained grounded in the wind and rain for many years.

******

At this time, Guo Chongtao met Gao Jixing.

Guo Chongtao and Gao Jixing met, and after a few words of greeting, they got to the point.

Guo Chongtao said: "Lord Gao, the purpose of my visit this time, I am mainly here to ask you, Xishu invaded us for no reason, what is your opinion?" ”

Here, by the way, why did Guo Chongtao call Gao Jixing "the prince"?

Because Gao Jixing is the king of Jingzhou.

In fact, Gao Jixing claimed to be the emperor, but Li Tang didn't admit it, so Guo Chongtao, as a representative of Li Tang, called him the prince.

Gao Jixing didn't care.

Gao Jixing said: "Prime Minister Guo, what do you mean ......? ”

Guo Chongtao said: "I mean, I want to ask you, Lord Wang, Xishu can invade us first, can we also invade him?" ”

Gao Jixing said: "Prime Minister Guo, it's not good for me to answer this question directly. ”

Guo Chongtao said: "Why? ”

Gao Jixing said: "Because Xishu is not only my friend of Gao Jixing, he is also a friend of Ma Yin, Wang Zhenzhi, Liu Yin, Yang Xingmi, and Qian Biao. So, I can't answer this question alone. ”

Guo Chongtao said: "You mean, Xishu can invade us, but we can't invade him?" ”

Gao Jixing said: "I didn't mean that. I mean, let's talk about that question and then we'll answer you, okay? ”

At this time, Guo Chongtao was a little unhappy.

Guo Chongtao said: Does this issue still need to be discussed? Originally, he hit us first, and we can hit him a very simple question, what else are you discussing?

Guo Chongtao said: "Lord Gao, now let me ask you a word, is it okay?" ”

Gao Jixing said: "Okay." ”

Guo Chongtao said: "When the "Seven Nations Alliance" of your seven countries was established, did it only mention that if someone invaded you, you could have support from all sides in the south, and did not mention anything else? ”

"This?"

Gao Jixing was suddenly asked by Guo Chongtao.

Gao Jixing heard it: there was a thorn in Guo Chongtao's words.

At this time, Gao Jixing hates Wang Yan!

Gao Ji Xingxin said: Wang Yan, you have nothing to do. Now I should really say to Guo Chongtao, I don't care about the in Xishu, you can do whatever you like. I should really let Li Tang clean you up!

But Gao Jixing thought again: I can't say that! If I talk to Guo Chongtao like that, Guo Chongtao goes to several southern countries and says that I don't care about the matter of Xishu, if something goes wrong, ......? Guo Chongtao is too, he first asks others if it's okay? He came to ask me first!

******

Last night, Gao Jixing didn't sleep all night.

Gao Jixing has been thinking about it, if Guo Chongtao asks about that, how should I answer? It was the incident when Xishu invaded their Li Tang.

Gao Ji rose to the beginning and said: I really shouldn't care about this matter, originally, what are you doing in Xishu to provoke Li Tang for no reason?

But Gao Jixing thought again: I can't ignore that matter! If I don't care about this matter, most of Xishu will be destroyed by Li Tang. If Li Tangzhen wiped out Xishu, it would be a great threat to me and to the entire southern countries.

Why does Gao Jixing think that? Could it be that Gao Jixing, who has the smallest territory and the smallest population, can really influence this matter?

Yes.

Because although Gao Jixing has the smallest territory and the smallest population, he is also a member of several southern countries. He speaks in one of the countries of the South. The important thing is that several countries in the south are afraid of Li Tang. When asked me earlier, I said that the southern countries are not big, and the southern countries combined are not as big as Li Tangda. So if Gao Jixing spoke first, he didn't care about the matter in Xishu, and several other countries would probably follow him. Because several countries in the south were afraid of Li Tang, they did not dare to offend Li Tang. If the affairs of Xishu are ignored, most of Xishu will die.

Why is it said that if Xishu dies, it will be a great threat to Gao Jixing and several other countries in the south?

Of course, Li Tang is already very strong now, if he takes over the territory of Xishu again, won't Li Tang be stronger, and the other countries in the south can't afford to mess with it?

Therefore, Gao Jixing didn't want to say anything about Xishu easily, because he didn't want to watch Xishu perish.

For this estimate, Kong Qian is higher than Guo Chongtao.

Kong Qian has long seen that the "Seven Nations Alliance" will not break easily.

******

At this time, Gao Jixing said to Guo Chongtao: "Prime Minister Guo, don't embarrass me first, okay?" As for what you said, let's discuss it carefully and then answer you, okay? ”

Guo Chongtao said: "Okay. ”

Guo Chongtao was very dissatisfied.

Guo Chongtao thought that it would be very smooth to meet Gao Jixing this time, but he didn't expect things to be so difficult.

*******

Guo Chongtao returned to his post house very dissatisfied.

It was back to the place where he lived temporarily.

At this time, someone said, "Prime Minister Guo, someone wants to see you." ”

Guo Chongtao said, "Let him come in." ”

Soon, the person who said he wanted to see Guo Chongtao came in.

Guo Chongtao saw that person seemed to have seen it, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

At this time, that person took out the emperor's letter.

The person who said he wanted to see Guo Chongtao was the person sent by the emperor to send a letter to Guo Chongtao.

When Guo Chongtao saw the letter written to him by the emperor, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Guo Chongtao said in his heart: Is my trip to the south really going to be defeated this time? >
