Chapter 531: Da Wan
Guishan City, which is full of peace and warmth, is the capital of Dawan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info On the third day after the envoy of King Dawan met Ding Chong, Ding Chong and his entourage finally came to this wonderful city.
Dahan's earliest understanding of Dawan is still based on Zhang Qian's introduction. And it is precisely because of Zhang Qian that Dawan's most famous Dawan horse can be sought after in the Central Plains. And the most famous of the Dawan horses is the sweat and blood BMW. And it was also because of the sweat and blood that a series of wars were triggered, and finally Dawan became a subsidiary of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Qian returned from his mission to the Western Regions, and Emperor Wu liked to listen to Zhang Qian tell about the exotic customs of the Western Regions, and Zhang Qian also mentioned Dawan's sweat and blood BMW, this kind of horse has good endurance, hard hooves, and can run more than 1,000 miles a day, and the most important thing is that the sweat that flows out when it runs is red like blood. When Emperor Wu heard about it, his interest increased greatly. At that time, the Han Dynasty was fighting with the Xiongnu, and it was already suffering from the lack of excellent horse breeds. It's really sleepy, and there are pillows when I come. Therefore, Emperor Wu sent an envoy with a golden silk to change horses, but the result was that the negotiations broke down, and Emperor Wu's envoy was also killed.
Emperor Wu was furious. Emperor Wu believed that if he could not punish the small countries in the Western Regions, he would also damage the majesty of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, with a wave of Emperor Wu's hand, Li Guangli set out to conquer Dawan twice. The final result was that Li Guangli made Dong Zhuo of Dawan once, and changed the king of Dawan to others! Since then, Dawan has become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.
Until ninety years ago, because the stronghold of Duanxi, the capital of the Western Regions at that time, was in Zhuzi, the connection was cut off because of the road blockage. As a result, many people in the Han court thought that there was another rebellion in the Western Regions, and it was still so far away, so they would send a large army to conquer and set up a capital to protect the country, and they would work and lose money. Therefore, in June 107 AD, Emperor An issued an edict to cancel the Western Regions Protectorate.
Ninety years later, the envoy of the Han Dynasty once again stepped into the land of Dawan and entered the Guishan City of Dawan again!
Since Dawan used to be a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, Dawan's official system is basically the same as that of the Han Dynasty.
From afar, Ding Chong saw the walls of Guishan City that were crawling on the ground. There is no need to look carefully, the colorful flags fluttering on Guishan City came into Ding Chong's eyes.
"Envoy Ding, presumably the king's guard of honor is already waiting outside the city!" The Dawan envoy who went to the border to greet Ding Chong smiled and said respectfully to Ding Chong.
"Oh, Dawan is really enthusiastic, if the prime minister is here, he will definitely be satisfied!" Ding Chong said excitedly.
Killing Ding Chong didn't expect that he would receive such a warm welcome in Dawan. Although Ding Chong was not treated coldly in other countries before, Ding Chong was really a little flattered by such a big formation as today.
"Since that's the case, then we can't let King Dawan be a long-term marquis. General Cao, Hou Envoy, let's speed up! ”
"Haha, that's exactly what I want!"
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Outside Guishan City, Prime Minister Dawan, who had already received the news and set up the guard of honor, shouted when he just saw the banner representing the envoy of the Han Dynasty: "The envoy has arrived!" As the prime minister's words fell, the jingling notes formed a beautiful tune, and the flying horses' hooves accompanied by the jumping notes finally came to the city of Guishan.
"Prime Minister Dawan is ordered by King Dawan to welcome the envoy!" In the distance, Prime Minister Dawan took the lead in saluting Ding Chong, who had just jumped off the horse.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for going out of the city to welcome you. Ding's generation of Prime Minister Cao Cheng and Dahan thanked King Dawan! ”
Dawan worships not Ding Chong, but the big banner behind Ding Chong, "Han"! Ding Chong is also the Dawan Kingdom behind Prime Minister Dawan!
"The envoy is gracious! The Han can send an envoy to my Dawan from thousands of miles away, which is an boundless blessing for my Dawan! "Since the abolition of the Western Regions Protectorate ninety years ago, Dawan has not clearly stated that he will break away from the Han Dynasty, so the current Dawan still belongs to the subject country of the Han Dynasty. However, after all, ninety years have passed. Therefore, although the two sides cannot be on the same level, they are not so harsh. And according to Prime Minister Dawan's words, it seems that it is necessary to put aside everything that happened before and start anew. However, some things can be set aside, and some things can't.
"The prime minister is polite! Ding was able to serve as a special envoy and was able to see the Dawan style, thanks to the prime minister's weight. Ding Chong put his focus on Cao De, who was far away on the Great Wall.
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng's generation of heroes, Wen Taowu is strategic, and stands up to the sky. The king was also looking forward to going to Chang'an to listen to Prime Minister Cao's teachings. Prime Minister Dawan said with a flattering face.
Ding Chong smiled, "Prime Minister Miao praised!" If Dawan sends an envoy to my Chang'an, presumably the prime minister will definitely sweep the couch to greet him! ”
As soon as the two met, they began to flatter each other. However, as the two sides that are about to become friendly allies, I am afraid that anyone can come up with a tractor if they are flattering!
"The envoy has come from afar, and he must be tired. The envoy may wish to go to the post house to rest for a while and wash away the dust. The king has already ordered the envoy to receive the wind and dust in the palace tonight! ”
"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"
"Envoy, please!"
"Please!"
Ding Chong and Prime Minister Dawan had a very short contact time outside the city, because after all, it was just a greeting. Could it be that to welcome a guest, you have to let the family eat and drink at the gate? However, after Ding Chong walked into the city, he found that everything in the city was even more colorful. Streets and trees adorned with ornaments, Dawan people dressed up, children scattered with flower petals......
Ding Chong kept greeting the cheering crowd around him while walking on the street that had been left behind. Ding Chong's heart is full of pride, this is my big man!
Since ancient times, weak countries have no diplomacy. Only when the power is strong, will you be warmly welcomed wherever you go. And when a weak country makes a strong country, it is not called diplomacy, but worship!
Ding Chong's treatment was not only on the city gate and streets, but even the post house where Ding Chong stayed had just been renovated. Among them, the maids who served Ding Chong and his entourage were all beautiful and graceful.
Ding Chong soaked himself in the bucket and washed off the dust comfortably. The fatigue of the past few days and the suitable warm water made Ding Chong gradually fall asleep. When Ding Chong woke up, someone knocked on the door and woke Ding Chong. "General, the hour is near. King Dawan also sent someone! ”
Ding Chong agreed, and quickly got up from the bucket. "Coming soon!"
When Ding Chong changed into dry clothes and walked out of the post house, the frame sent by King Dawan was already waiting outside the door. And after Ding Chong got into the carriage, Ding Chong found out that this was probably the carriage of the Dawan royal family. And that's a little out of order.
Although he is the envoy of the Han Dynasty, he is the envoy of the court. But the former relationship has been broken for 90 years. It is impossible for King Dawan to maintain that respect for ninety years. Moreover, according to the preferential treatment I am receiving now, it is too grand.
When he greeted him, it was the prime minister, and it was actually the royal family's carriage to go to the palace for the banquet. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
Ding Chong, who had already learned a lesson, had to be careful.
"Stop!" Ding Chong got out of the carriage and waved back, and the soldier who had escaped death with Ding Chong ran over, "General? ”
"Come here with your ears!" Ding Chong's expression was a little serious. "...... later"
