Chapter VII: Han Envoys
Zhang Mao's face was dissatisfied, he followed the prestige, but saw a cavalry team rushing towards the enclosure from outside, and the team on duty did not stop it for a moment! When this person got a little closer, he saw the banner clearly, and Zhang Mao's face was already gloomy as if he was about to drip water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The person who came was none other than the horse team of the Jia family, the first wealthy family in the Western Soil, but the leader was not the head of the family, Jia Ji, but someone else. They were dressed in Hu clothes, their hair was braided, and they held the scepters of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.
It was the envoy of Liu Yao, the emperor of the Han Kingdom!
Everyone present couldn't help but look at the two envoys, it seems that it is difficult to be good today. However, some people also looked at Jia Zhengdao in the crowd, after all, the horse team of the Jia family accompanied the Han envoy all the way in, which was really presumptuous. If it's just these people and horses, if there are many people and horses, wouldn't it be Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· People who thought of this place were suddenly shocked in their hearts, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Zhang Jun has been paying attention to Zhang Mao's face, only to see that his uncle first showed doubts, and he didn't understand who was riding the horse; Later, his face was full of frost, and he should have been really angry with the actions of the Jia family and the Han envoys; However, as the other party's men and horses got closer, the anger subsided, and now no one could guess what was going on in his heart.
Zhang Jun couldn't help but admire, and said in his heart: This is a qualified superior, joy and anger are invisible, and it seems that he is still far behind.
Thinking of this, he also put on a standard high-grade gentleman's smile and stood behind Zhang Mao. The corner of Zhang Mao's eyes was sweeping the changes in his nephew, and he secretly bowed his head.
A moment later, the envoy of the Han Kingdom had steadily stopped in front of the people of Liangzhou. I saw that they looked arrogant, as if they didn't pay attention to the people in front of them at all.
Noticing that Zhang Mao was unmoved, the envoy led by him said in a loud voice: "The scepter of the Great Han Kingdom is here, why don't you pay homage?" β
"Han Kingdom? Which Han Kingdom? β
Gu Zang made Xin Yan stand out from the crowd and said coldly: "We only know that there is a Han of Emperor Gao of the Taizu of the Liu family, but I have not heard that there is also a Han today!" β
"Bold!"
The envoy of the Han Kingdom was furious when he heard this, he stepped forward on his horse, the whip was already in his hand, and he was about to pull it off in the face of Xin Yan's fearless look.
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Mao laughed loudly and walked up to the envoy, blocking Xin Yan behind him. He arched his hand slightly and said: "Envoy Jiejie, General Pingxi, Liangzhou Mumao, ask the Emperor of the Han State An." β
The envoy of the Han Kingdom glared at Xin Yan fiercely, and only raised the horsewhip as a return salute, and said, "I bow down." β
Seeing that this person dared to be so rude, everyone in Liangzhou was indignant, and some generals wanted to step forward and teach this Hu Er a good lesson.
At that moment, another voice rang out: "Don't lose peace!" β
A middle-aged man came from behind the Han envoy with a few guards, saluted Zhang Mao, and said, "Brother, don't blame me, the younger brother is not good at riding, and he was left behind by the Han envoy. β
Zhang Jun's eyes flashed, and he knew that this person was his own uncle, the head of the first wealthy family in the West - Jia Ji.
"Father!" In the crowd, Jia Zhengdao saw that the backer had arrived, so he walked out and stood behind Jia G.
Zhang Jun naturally couldn't ignore Jia Ji's existence, and also lowered his head and said, "Uncle." β
Jia G nodded, and then listened to Zhang Mao say: "Brother Jia is not feasting in the mansion, how can he come here in a hurry?" β
Jia G hurriedly smiled and said: "The younger brother was feasting with the Han envoy, and suddenly heard that the dog sent someone to report, saying that the elder brother had hunted the white tiger auspicious, so he specially came to watch with the Han envoy, and I hope that the elder brother will forgive me for the abrupt place!" β
Zhang Mao smiled heartily: "Brother Jia is here, my strength is even stronger, what a wonder." Why don't you take a seat on the stage and have another drink? β
Jia G hurriedly received the order, and the two walked arm in hand, as if the unhappiness just now had disappeared. When the guests and hosts sat down, they were still divided into each other, faintly facing each other.
At this time, the feast and drink are honored by the right. Therefore, Jia G took the lead in accompanying the Han envoy to occupy the right seat, and he sat behind the Han envoy, and then Jia Zhengdao was the next one. The Jin envoy was half a step behind, so he had to sit at the top of the seat on the left under Zhang Mao's apologetic gaze.
Jia Zhengdao stared at Zhang Jun, and when he saw him seated in the Jin envoy, he couldn't help but show smugness, and even thought of what was going to happen in a while, and his excitement was difficult to hide. Zhang Jun took in the looks of everyone in the banquet, some were dissatisfied, some were flattering, some were calm, some were excited, and naturally including Jia Zhengdao's expression. All of this, he can only keep in mind silently for the time being, because now this stage does not belong to him, he is just a spectator.
At this moment, the Han envoy drank a glass of wine to himself, slammed the wine bottle on the table, and shouted: "You Han people are the most cunning, not only to see the white tiger auspicious, but where is the auspicious rui, don't say big things, you can't take out the white tiger." β
"The Han envoy is all joking, I Liangzhou from the general down, all of them are trustworthy gentlemen, how can I deceive you." Jia Ji said with a smile: "Brother, the white tiger is rare to see, since the Han envoy wants to see it, why not let him see it, so as to show my hospitality in Liangzhou." β
"Jia Di is talking about Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Zhang Mao waved his hand. "Lift it up!"
At this time, I saw a tower-like giant man pedaling up, he carried the white tiger in his hand, like pinching a cat, walked to the field, and put the white tiger down. The white tiger was in pain, and he wanted to be reckless, but when he saw the huge sweat glaring coldly, he didn't dare to make a sound, and hung his head and lay on the ground obediently.
"What a warrior!" Jia G's eyes lit up.
"If my father likes it, why don't I recruit him as a guard." Jia Zhengdao knew that this giant man was Zhang Jun's subordinate, but he still spoke.
However, before Jia Ji could speak, the giant man was disdainful, and said first: "Look at your skinny chicken-like body, I'm afraid that if you don't have a few catties of meat, you are worthy of my guard?" β
"You!" Jia Zhengdao was immediately furious. "Bold, do you know who I am, how dare I be so rude!"
The giant man glanced at him and said, "I don't care who you are?" β
"Hahahaha." At this time, the Han envoy stood up, looked the giant man up and down, and said with appreciation: "The next surname is Liu Mingquan, who is the nephew of the emperor of my Great Han Kingdom, why don't you go back to the court with me and be my guard?" β
This giant man looks vulgar, but his heart is not stupid, and he immediately said: "I don't know your emperor, let alone a nephew." I only admire the young general. β
Feeling everyone's gaze, Zhang Jun got up and said: "This man is a kid, his name is Da Shiye, and he is used to being casual on weekdays. The nephew was not strict in discipline, and he hoped that his father would forgive his sins. β
"It's normal for such a warrior to be vulgar, what a crime!" Zhang Maoman stroked his beard and smiled: "Come on, enjoy the wine." β
I saw a glass of wine bottle served in one room and handed it to the big stone leaf.
Da Shiye didn't look at it, and shouted: "This kind of wine, it's not enough to moisten your throat, don't drink it." β
Zhang Mao was not annoyed and asked, "Why does the strong man want to drink?" β
"With an urn!" Da Shiye walked to the side of the high platform, raised the waiter's large urn of wine with one hand, drank it immediately, and stood behind Zhang Jun.
Everyone at the banquet was stunned, and Zhang Mao laughed: "Jun'er has this warrior, like a tiger with wings." β
Ma Yihe, the chief bookkeeper of Taifu, said: "Everyone, drink this cup to the fullest, congratulations for the young general!" β
"Wait!" Jia Zhengdao got up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's Han envoy and banquet, for the auspicious white tiger, although this person is fierce, but not as precious as the white tiger, the kid proposed, for the white tiger congratulations!" β
Seeing that Ma Doi was dissatisfied, Jia Ji said: "The dog is rude, don't mind the master of the horse." This cup is not only for the warriors, but also for the white tiger, all the kings drink together! β
After drinking, the Han envoy Liu Quan came to the field, looked at the white tiger carefully, and was surprised again and again. couldn't help but be greedy, and said: "This auspicious appearance in the north is a great blessing for the country. The general should be dedicated to Chang'an in time, and His Majesty will definitely be happy. β
"Ridiculous!"
Jin envoy Shi Shu couldn't bear it anymore, and came to the scene and said: "The general is canonized by my Great Jin, and the edict and scepter are all there, what does it have to do with the Hun Tartars?" β
The Han envoy narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said disdainfully: "Great Jin? Which Dajin? Your emperor is also a prisoner of my Han Kingdom, and he has declared himself a vassal to my Han Kingdom. Aren't the courtiers of your emperor the courtiers of my Han Kingdom? β
"Hmph, Hun Hu species, dare to call Han?" Wang Chong also got up and said: "The general rules the western territory, and there are two generations and three masters, and he only knows that there is Jin." Han Zhao and the like, what is the way? β
"What's the use of the power of the tongue?" The Han envoy turned to Zhang Mao and said: "General, I have millions of people in the Han Kingdom, and since the Yuyu Northern Kingdom, it has been auspicious, and it is showing the prosperity of my Han Kingdom." You, the white tiger, also appeared in the Northland, which should be the thing of my Han Kingdom. β
"What the Han envoy said also has some truth." Jia Ji met countless angry and surprised eyes, and said unconsciously: "It's not that the courtiers are extroverted, but that Xiangrui is out of the Han Kingdom. When Emperor Guangwen of the Han Dynasty (Liu Yuan), there was a phoenix set and a puzi, so he changed the yuan to Yongfeng; In another year, Fenshui produced a jade seal, and Emperor Guangwen changed the yuan to Herui. All of the above is well documented. β
Jia Zhengdao also helped: "Now that Emperor Yao of the Han Dynasty has been on the throne for a long time, this auspicious rui is congratulating His Majesty." The general, please think twice. β
Zhang Mao's jaw head: "Even so, there is almost some truth to itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Seeing that the civil and military forces wanted to admonish, Zhang Mao waved his hand and said, "But Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I can't call the shots in this matter! β
When Liu Quan heard this, he sneered: "Xiangrui is here, why should the general tease the minister!" β
Zhang Mao said sincerely: "I can't hide it, this white tiger was obtained by my nephew, if the Han envoy is interested, why don't you ask my nephew?" β
"Joke, as a general, Liangzhou Mu, or his uncle, can't you even be this master?" Liu Quan said angrily.
Zhang Mao was still smiling, and said frankly: "My nephew, at the age of nine, was named the Marquis of Bacheng, and in terms of title, I don't know how much higher than the old man, and now he is the general of the Fu Army and the Taishou of Wuwei, how can the old man make a decision easily?" β
Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Jun's plan to sit on the sidelines fell through, so he had to step forward and said: "Under Zhang Jun, this tiger was shot by my own hands, and it should belong to me. β
"Oh?" Liu Quan turned around, looked Zhang Jun up and down, and said: "The young general is an all-round man in civil and military affairs, the envoy has already heard of it, but this white tiger is auspicious from the sky, and the young general is just an uncrowned teenager, how can he shoot a tiger?" β
After that, he looked at the big stone leaf behind Zhang Jun, and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid that someone didn't do it for him, and he fulfilled the young general, right?" β
"The White Tiger didn't beat me!" Da Shiye stepped forward and said: "You beard, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will tear you up and drink again!" β
Liu Quan was jealous in his heart and took two steps back.
"Don't be rude!" Zhang Jun waved back the big stone leaf and said to Liu Quan: "I don't know how, the Han envoy will believe it?" β
Liu Quan said fiercely: "If you shoot a tiger, you must have unequaled archery skills, you and my subordinates will compete, if you can win, I will believe you!" β
Zhang Jun smiled contemptuously, flicked the Mingguang armor on the outer cover, and said, "What if you believe it, what if you don't believe it?" β
Liu Quan argued: "If you win, you will be in charge of the White Tiger; If you loseΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Give me the Han as a tribute! β
Zhang Jun looked at Zhang Mao. I saw my uncle wave his hand, "Jun'er is competing with him, don't worry!" β
Zhang Jun nodded, immediately walked to the field, and said: "It has been decided what the Han envoy will be, but how to compare it is up to me to say." β
"It's okay!"
Liu Quan was full of confidence, he passed the order to go, only to see that after a while, another Hu'er came to the stage. I saw this bearded ape arm bee waist, with sharp eyes in his eyes, and he was undoubtedly an eagle archer at a glance!
The Hun condor archer is a sharpshooter selected from tens of millions of people, usually accompanied by the Great Khan, shooting the eagle for fun; In wartime, he served with the army and shot enemy generals. The Liangzhou generals present all looked at each other angrily, but they were jealous, and many people reminded them: "Major General, the condor archery skills are exquisite, and you must not underestimate the enemy!" β
Zhang Jun nodded solemnly and said to Na Hu'er: "The Han family feasts, there is a game, called pitching pots, do you know?" β
Hu Er's face was calm and he nodded silently.
A moment later, a table was placed on one side of the high platform, on which were two flasks upside down, the spouts of which were only about half a finger square. I only heard a waiter say loudly: "In the pot throwing competition, the one with more arrows in the pot wins!" β
