Chapter 296: The Contradictory Liao State
This time, the people and horses of the An Dynasty to envoy Liao, in addition to the three chief and deputy envoys, there was also an accompanying general of the commander, a group of troops, the total number of people was 800 people!
Escorting the goods of the New Year's coins from the An Dynasty this time, he went out of the city, went north, and then came to Taiyuan. ()
This is the last stop of the envoy's men and horses in the An Dynasty, and the Yin of Taiyuan Mansion did not dare to slack off, and personally led the men and horses out of the city to greet them.
After all, this is Taiyuan, and if Anliao goes to war, Taiyuan will bear the brunt, especially after the defeat of the An Dynasty last time, the military and civilians of Taiyuan don't want to fight.
If you don't want to fight, you must protect the safety of the New Year's coin, which is the foundation for maintaining peace between the An Dynasty and the Liao State!
After resting in Taiyuan for a night, Fu Yin of course wanted to invite Xiao Mo, Jiang Wenzheng and Liu Yuzhi to have a meal!
The meal was prepared by the rich businessmen in Taiyuan, and it was easy to talk about things at the dinner table, this time, there were several rich businessmen in Taiyuan who wanted to go to Liaoguo to do the fur business, and they also wanted to go with Xiao Mo and others!
Xiao Mo thought about it, with the addition of these caravans, it should be much more convenient, at least he won't get lost!
Since the last armistice agreement between the An Dynasty and the Liao State, trade routes have been opened, and there is no ban on commercial exchanges between the two countries, so a large number of merchants often come and go between the two countries!
The next day, several caravans were gathered, and the number of people who sent the Liao State this time was increased to about 2,000 people!
There are more people and more supplies, so I walked very slowly all the way, and at the end of October, I finally came to Xijing Datong Mansion in Liao!
Xiao Mo rested in Datong Mansion for a night, because there was a letter from the Liao State, and he specially sent a new champion and a messenger to greet Xiao Mo and his party!
The new champion?
Xiao Mo looked at Liu Yuzhi, this guy is also a bull, a new science and technology exploration flower, a little worse than the champion!
Liu Yuzhi smiled, obviously did his homework on the Liao State, and said to Xiao Mo: "My lord, this new champion of the Liao State is still our Han people!" ”
"Oh?" Xiao Mo asked, "Is this person Brother Liu very familiar?" ”
Liu Yuzhi shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with it, I just heard it!" ”
After that, Liu Yuzhi whispered in Xiao Mo's ear: "My lord, be careful, Zhang Yuanzhi has no good impression of An Chao, and he is very proud, so it is estimated that he will make things difficult for us!" ”
Xiao Mo nodded to Liu Yuzhi, and then the next day, everyone waited in the post house for Zhang Yuanzhi, the new champion of the Liao Kingdom, and Ye Luchun, the prince of Liao Wei!
After seeing Ye Luchun, Xiao Mo laughed.
This guy won't be a simple character in the future!
So Xiao Mo will continue to march together with Ye Luchun and Zhang Yuanzhi!
It wasn't until the eighth day of November that he came to Dading Mansion, the capital of Liao, but he learned that Emperor Hongji of Liao went to Shangjing to worship his ancestors, so Xiao Mo and others had to wait in the post house.
Taking advantage of this time, as soon as Xiao Mo, Jiang Wenzheng and Liu Yuzhi were combined, they planned to find Zhang Xiaojie first.
The three of them came to Zhang Xiaojie's house, first sent a famous thorn, and then waited for the news of the doorman.
After a while, the doorman came to report that Zhang Xiaojie was not feeling well and would not be a guest today!
Xiao Mo smiled at Jiang Wenzheng and Liu Yuzhi when he heard this, and then returned to the post house together.
At this time, Jiang Wenzheng said: "My lord, it seems that Zhang Xiaojie will not work here!" ”
Xiao Mo shook his head and said to Jiang Wenzheng: "Cheng Shilang is wrong, don't you hear it, you can't see each other if you go behind your back?" Hehe...... See you in the open and see it in the dark......"
Jiang Wenzheng didn't believe it, so Xiao Mo ordered someone to pretend to be a Liao merchant and sent some gold and silver to Zhang Xiaojie, and sure enough, Zhang Xiaojie accepted it all, and replied to Xiao Mo: "Everything is opportunistic, especially the Liao Emperor, who is lenient and the most talented, can fight for it on the basis of reason!" ”
In other words, if you see the opportunity to act, as long as you fight with Emperor Liao, you can dispel the crisis of the Liao Kingdom going south to help the White Lotus Sect in trouble!
Xiao Mo laughed when he heard this, and asked Jiang Wenzheng.
Jiang Wenzheng bowed and said: "My lord is really clever! ”
At this time, Liu Yuzhi walked in with an unkind face, grabbed the teacup angrily, and drank it regardless of who used the teacup.
"So?" Xiao Mo was strange, why was Liu Tanhua, who has always been gentle and elegant, so angry?
Liu Yuzhi said: "The two adults don't know, just now Yu Zhi came back from the street, and heard people say that our people in the An Dynasty are not as literate as him Zhang Yuanzhi, and as for the force, they are not the opponent of their Liao army!" ”
Xiao Mo frowned and asked, "Who said this?" ”
Liu Yuzhi said: "Who else is there besides Zhang Yuanzhi?" Now the streets of Dadingfu in Liaoguo are full of such rumors, but I am afraid that I will be embarrassed to show my true face when I go to the street in the future! ”
"Humph!" Jiang Wenzheng's face was also not good, and he said: "Zhang Yuanzhi is deliberately embarrassing us!" ”
Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this is the Liao Kingdom, not our An Dynasty, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads!" Big deal, we won't go out! ”
Where are Jiang Wenzheng and Liu Yuzhi convinced?
Liu Yuzhi said hatefully: "Hmph, if there is a chance, I will definitely let him Zhang Yuanzhi know what it means to have someone outside the world!" ”
Xiao Mo said to Liu Yuzhi: "There will be a chance, since Zhang Yuanzhi is walking such a rumor, I'm afraid he also has the intention of comparing with me, didn't Zhang Xiaojie say it?" Emperor Liao loves talents and has a generous personality, but he is afraid that this Liao country is not without room for Brother Liu to show his talents! ”
After that, Liu Yuzhi became excited.
Xiao Mo smiled slightly, and was grateful to Zhao Quan again.
Tsk, it's worthy of being an old man, it's good for us! knew that he would definitely encounter these troubles when he came to Liao, so he sent a Liu Yuzhi to let him be a shield!
Now that Xiao Mo has gone through this period of time, his mood has relaxed, and he has long forgotten the strangeness and fear of Liao.
After all, Liao is now in the stage of sinicization, and the customs are not much different from those of the An Dynasty, but there are some differences in clothing, which makes Xiao Mo not so strange to Liao!
Especially after Zhang Xiaojie accepted the gold and silver he sent, Xiao Mo was even more settled.
In other words, there will be no problems in his own line, otherwise, will Zhang Xiaojie accept the gift?
As for Zhang Yuanzhi's difficulties, Xiao Mo didn't care.
It's just a new champion, and Xiao Mo also heard that although Zhang Yuanzhi and Zhang Xiaojie are from their own family, they are very uneasy to deal with!
It's not just the two of them, in the Liao State, all the Hanchen basically don't deal with each other, just like the royal family and nobles of the Liao State, the contradiction is very obvious, which is also a good thing!
If the Liao State is a monarch and a minister, then such a Liao State is too terrible!
On November 13, Emperor Liao returned from Shangjing, and finally on the 14th, he summoned Xiao Mo and other envoys of the An Dynasty!
