"How's the Central Plains drink?"

On this day, Cao Cao feasted on difficult rice, etc., and sent his own cherished wine to taste with the two, and it was difficult to take a sip of rice, and praised: "This is a good wine, and my country has never had it!" ”

Cao Cao, who heard this, was naturally overjoyed, and immediately rewarded dozens of taels of gold to the two of them, and the two thanked them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info was half-drunk, and suddenly a pawn came to report: "Duke Wei, the marquis asks to see!" ”

Cao Cao thought that Xun Gang should visit him and then go to Jingzhou, so he didn't have any doubts in his heart, so he left the two to continue the meal and came to meet Xun Gang in person.

Cao Cao placed Xun Gang in the pavilion in the backyard, as soon as they met, Xun Gang did not directly explain his intentions, but first pretended that he was about to leave, and came to say goodbye, Cao Cao did not doubt, and said: "Jingzhou is turbulent, it must be governed by the king, and it is really helpless to recall Your Excellency urgently before!" ”

Xun Gang sneered in his heart, isn't it just that you yourself are suspicious and suspect that I have bad intentions? Although I do......

After a few words of greeting between the two, Cao Cao wanted to send Xun Gang back, and suddenly, Xun Gang went straight to the topic: "When I came in, I saw that the prime minister seemed to have a banquet, I don't know what kind of person was invited to the banquet, and he could be so favored by the prime minister?" ”

Cao Cao naturally didn't dare to say that it was the two envoys of the Japanese state, after all, such an arrogant act was completely losing face for himself, so he could only pretend: "It's a person from my clan, who came to Xuchang to pay a visit this time, so he stayed for a feast." ”

Damn, he said that the Japanese devils were his own clan, Xun Gang was immediately angry, but he had to endure it, and said with a smile: "I thought it was the envoy of the Japanese country who came before, and the prime minister stayed for a banquet!" I never thought it was the prime minister's own clan, disrespectful and disrespectful! ”

Cao Cao was slightly embarrassed, it turned out that Xun Gang already knew about it, but seeing that he didn't mean to entangle, Cao Cao also responded logically.

"But the prime minister's clan is quite large, I wonder if I am lucky enough to see his honor?"

Cao Cao was a little panicked, after all, Xun Gang's move is not too much according to etiquette, and even if it is a family banquet, people come to visit, you have no reason to drive people away! But if he doesn't let him meet, doesn't it mean that he has a ghost in his heart?

Moreover, those two Japanese people were dressed completely differently from the Central Plains, and they were short in appearance, not only could they see at a glance that they were not their own clan, but they would also be ridiculed by others because of their shortness!

Just when Cao Cao was at a loss, Xun Gang smiled, took out an edict from his sleeve, and said: "Prime Minister don't worry, you and my family are so close, why hide it so much?" I have received an edict from Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has given the Prime Minister full authority to deal with the affairs of the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom. ”

Cao Cao felt that he was being teased by Xun Gang, and he was slightly angry in his heart, but seeing that he had obtained an edict from the emperor again, and let him deal with the envoy of the Japanese State in a proper manner, he didn't know where this anger came from, so he could only give up.

"That's it, I won't hide it from the marquis, the two people who were invited to the banquet in the hall were the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom who came to the Central Plains before."

Xun Gang saw Cao Cao loosen his mouth, and laughed secretly in his heart, the world is humane Cao Cao is a traitor, isn't this still quite frank?

"I heard that the Japanese are less than six feet long (Han ruler), I don't know if it's true or not?"

Indeed, the two men were short in height, like dwarves. However, this is a local specialty, and he has never laughed at the two of them. ”

"I wonder if the prime minister can be recommended?"

Cao Cao thought to himself that everything was revealed anyway, what else was there to hide? led Xun Gang to the hall.

Nansheng rice and urban Niu Li were as if they had never eaten, and they devoured on the banquet. They were originally a barbarian people and did not know the etiquette of the Central Plains, so they did not care about their own image at all. Seeing this, although Cao Cao was disgusted, he thought that barbarian people would inevitably be like this, so he would forget it.

Xun Gang looked at the two of them, both with tattoos on their faces, dressed brightly, and the sense of nobility that they were originally from the Central Plains, but because of the catastrophe two thousand years later, this sense of nobility disappeared. But it is impossible for Xun Gang to tell Cao Cao that Japan invaded China more than a thousand years later (including the Ming Dynasty)? I'm afraid that Cao Cao will only scoff at it.

"After hearing that the Japanese people called themselves Taibo (the ancestor of the Wu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period), it was really ridiculous! Uncle Tai was less than six feet later, if it was spread to Huiji, wouldn't it make people laugh? Cao Cao said as if talking to himself.

Xun Gang looked at the two of them for a moment and asked, "Prime Minister, what are the requirements for these two people to come to the Central Plains in addition to paying tribute?" ”

"This seems to be gone, and when it comes to tribute, the two zebras he gave are really of low quality, and I can win most of them in a textile office everywhere in the Central Plains; If it weren't for such barbarians, how would I reflect the strength of my Central Plains? ”

In the face of the Japanese people, Cao Cao seemed to have lost the original humility of the Central Plains people and became quite arrogant, which made Xun Gang feel helpless; You must know that it was such lowly barbarians who repeatedly invaded the coast of China after a thousand years, and even took advantage of the degeneration of the weak Qing government to attack China and slaughter the people of the Central Plains...... If Cao Cao saw this, would he still be able to laugh at these widows?

The Japanese advocate strong strength, so only if you are strong, he will follow you like a dog, and if you are weak, he will bite you like a mad dog! Xun Gang never dared to underestimate the Japanese people, because of their forbearance, they were able to endure China from their blood for nearly a thousand years, and for this alone, if they underestimated them, sooner or later they would suffer the consequences.

Therefore, Xun Gang wanted to borrow Cao Cao's hand to destroy the Wa Kingdom.

Continuing the above topic, Xun Gang said again: "It is said that these two are the envoys of Yamatai, the largest country among the more than 30 countries in the Japanese Kingdom? ”

"Exactly."

"I heard that there is a hostile country in Yamatai, called Dog Slave, and the two countries have been at war for a long time, and the war situation is not up or down; In my opinion, the queen sent an envoy to obtain the support of the Central Plains people, eliminate the dog slaves, and she was alone in the Wa Kingdom. It's just that these two people are now obsessed with gold and forget about it. If you really mention it, I don't know what the prime minister plans to do? ”

"Dog slave? What an indecent name for this country! Cao Cao smiled, "What Hou Hou said is indeed reasonable, but if the two of them really mention that they have already given countless gifts in return, what face do they have to say about asking for help?" ”

"The prime minister doesn't plan to send troops?"

Cao Cao nodded: "Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Zhang, Shixie and other thieves have not yet been exterminated. What's more, the Japanese country is far away on the island, and it is a year of fear to go back and forth, even if it is to win over the hearts of the barbarians, it will not be so forceful. ”

But Xun Gang insisted on destroying the Japanese state, and instead suggested: "In my opinion, the prime minister should send troops." ”

Cao Cao was stunned, everyone could see the disadvantages of sending troops, this Xun Gang was not a fool, why did he let himself send troops?

Xun Gang said seriously: "I just saw the faces of these two people, they are treacherous, and the same must be true of the Japanese people; I have studied the Japanese people for a long time, and this country has no faith, and it is not to be friends with it, and if the prime minister is weak in the future, this country will inevitably turn against the water. It is better for the prime minister to promise the two of them, send 5,000 elite soldiers to the Wa country, and when the dog slave country is exterminated, then sweep the whole country, and take the Wa country in one go, making it our territory, so as not to cause trouble in the future! ”

Cao Cao couldn't cry or laugh a little, when will this Xun Gang still look at his face? You say that people have no faith and no basis for the ancients, why do you say that?

If it is changed to the Ming and Qing dynasties, Xun Gang's sentence may be useful, but the current Wa State is just a country that is not even as good as a flea in Cao Cao's eyes, and it still needs to use such tactics to attack?

Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Xun Gang thought that Cao Cao was afraid that 5,000 people were not enough, and said: "There are less than 70,000 households in the Japanese country, and there are more than 30 countries, which is quite divided. In addition, there are many women in the Japanese country, and there are less than 1,000 men in each country who can be soldiers, and 500 people can be called an army. ”

The more Xun Gang spoke, the more excited he became, but Cao Cao's face became more and more peaceful: "Marquis Chen, I don't know why you are afraid of such a small country, but my Central Plains is strong, so the eight directions come to the court, if you exterminate a country that has just surrendered to us, won't other countries be cold?" ”

"This ......"

"Moreover, the islands of the Japanese Kingdom are scarce in resources, and it is meaningless to take them, and it will only increase the taxes of the Central Plains! Just like today's Youzhou, although it is the territory of the Central Plains, it has long since withered, although it is easy to take, but it is not in a hurry. Can the Marquis understand? ”

Where does Xun Gang understand? He only knew that the country and the family hated, but no matter what he said, Cao Cao just didn't agree to send troops, and even showed disgust. He didn't know why Xun Gang was so obsessed with a small country, so he said ruthlessly: "If the Marquis is interested, I will divide 3,000 troops and let you go!" ”

Xun Gang stopped talking, he wasn't afraid, in fact, he wished he would personally exterminate the Wa Kingdom, but now that the situation in the Central Plains is chaotic, if something goes wrong, wouldn't he have to work for Boss Cao for the rest of his life?

When he surrendered to Cao Cao, he waited for his own trouble, not to work long hours under Cao Cao!

Seeing that Xun Gang stopped talking, Cao Cao smiled, sure enough, he is a guy who can only speak, you won't dare to let you go, but that's it!

The matter of conquest of the country of Wu is over, but Xun Gang's heart to destroy the country of Wu has not ended, because sooner or later he will personally attack the country of Wu, so that this barbarian country without faith will always tremble under the feet of the Chinese!
