Chapter 530: Letter from afar
Guan Mu pondered for a moment before slowly asking, "Xiaoshui, you have been away from Yanjing for nearly ten days, right?" ”
As soon as he asked, Han Mo immediately understood that the urgent matter that Guan Mu was going to say was very likely to come from Yanjing. When he left Beijing, it was the time when the Qing envoy entered Yanjing, and he even intersected with Yun Canglan, the deputy envoy of Qingguo, but those things were not something that Han Mo could pay attention to, and there were special people in the upper echelons of Yan Guo to deal with the matter of the Qing envoy, so he just put his mind on the plan to come to rescue Zhu Xiaoyan.
"Before you left Beijing, my Qingguo mission had already arrived in Yanjing." Guan Mu stared at Han Mo: "Do you know the situation in Yanjing now?" ”
Han Mo took a sip of the teacup and shook his head.
He and Red Sleeves came to the Wind Country, but they were acting in secret, and there were very few people who knew about their trip, for the sake of safety, Han Mo did not contact Yanjing, everything was kept extremely secret...
Guan Mu sighed and asked, "Then Qingguo's deputy envoy An Yuqing was killed in Yanjing, and you don't know it?" ”
Han Mo's brows furrowed.
Although he did not interfere in the affairs of the envoy, he was very clear about the situation in the middle, such as today.
Qing envoy entered Yan, naturally because Wei Qing was about to start a war, and Qing Guo wanted to stabilize the rear, so he negotiated with Yan State. But Han Mo also knew that the battle of Weiqing was a real event in the world, not only did it have a life-and-death impact on Wei and Qing, who were directly involved in the war, but also the Yan State, which was not directly involved in the war, had a profound impact.
At such a moment, for the sake of national interests, but also for the self-interests of the major forces of Yan State, there must be a fierce struggle within Yan State...
Regarding the position of the Han family, Han Mo is clear, it must be to reach an agreement with Qingguo to stabilize the current situation in Yan State, only in this way can the Han family further accumulate strength and avoid becoming a victim of Yan State's political arena.
Since ancient times, those who have no strength are in government after all. Zhidou. Victims of the fight.
But the news that Guan Mu said was undoubtedly extremely bad news for Han Mo.
An Yuqing was killed in Yan State, even if he is no longer a person who has no brains, he will intuitively feel that there will be a huge crisis and resistance in the negotiations between Qingyan and Yan.
……
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Han Mo smiled faintly: "I really don't know about these things... Merely...... These are all major events related to the overall situation of the world, and even if I know, it is nothing more than a joke, and I am not interested in or qualified to ask about these things. ”
Guan Mu stared at Han Mo and said with a smile: "Xiao Shui, according to the news that the old man has gotten, now, the envoys of the Wei State have also arrived in Yanjing City a few days ago......
Han Mo looked at Guan Mu with a smile.
At this time, he was already aware of a very sensitive issue in his heart.
According to common sense, Guan Mu, who is a Qingguo person, proceeds from the national interest, and must extremely hope to see the negotiations between Yanqing and Qing succeed, so that Qingguo's concentration on dealing with Wei is naturally a great good thing for Qingguo's national interests.
But Han Mo also knew that within Qingguo, because of the conflict of interests, there were a group of forces that deliberately sabotaged Yanqing's negotiations, in other words, it was a group of ** groups that were willing to see the national interests damaged for the sake of the group's interests...
The Guan family is a trade expert with a great cause, and there is no doubt that being able to have such strength is indispensable in the Qingguo court.
What Han Mo wants to know now is the backer of the Guan trading house in the court, what kind of force is that?
If the backers of the Guan's trading house are the forces that deliberately sabotage the negotiations, then fundamentally speaking, there will be a contradiction between the interests of themselves and the Guan's trading company.
Therefore, Han Mo did not express his opinion immediately, but just looked at Guan Mu and listened to him continue.
He also knew in his heart that the Guan trading house could learn the news of Yanjing City so quickly, and it could only rely on carrier pigeons and other transmission channels, in this era, the fastest means of information transmission was only carrier pigeons...
From this, Han Mo also further knew that the Guan Trading Company was strong in terms of intelligence.
It is important to know that the training of carrier pigeons is by no means a simple matter, the longer the road to transmit information, the more difficult the training of carrier pigeons, which is a project that requires huge manpower and material resources.
It is not easy to train the carrier pigeons on the line from Yanjing to Fengguo alone, and according to Han Mo's speculation, the intelligence network of the Guan Trading House must be very perfect, and there must be a lot of carrier pigeons of this kind.
In any era, being the first to grasp information is equivalent to grasping the initiative.
In this day and age, carrier pigeons are the most advantageous means of transmitting information... Han Mo knew this very early, during the East China Sea period, he raised two carrier pigeons, and specially invited pigeon trainers to train, but those two carrier pigeons were only able to transmit news within a hundred miles in the end, and since then, Han Mo has known that pigeons are constantly taming.
"If there is a change today, the people of Li will suffer" Guan Mu sighed and shook his head: "The battle between my Qingguo and Wei is really unavoidable......"
Han Mo still stared at Guan Mu with a smile, but still didn't speak.
"This time An Yuqing was killed, and the negotiations between Yanqing and Qing are bound to be blocked." Guan Mu stroked his beard and said slowly: "The news sent that on the day the envoys of the Wei State arrived in Yanjing City, your emperor summoned the envoys of the two countries at the same time."
Han Mo finally spoke, with a hint of a smile: "The big shopkeeper is very clear about the situation of my Yan Kingdom."
Guan Mu's expression immediately became solemn: "Xiaoshui, don't misunderstand what the old man means... The old man told you about it, not for anything else, but I just thought that I should let you know about it. You have a lot of relationship with Shaohe, and the old man also treats you as his own, so these things ...... I won't hide it from you, if you think the old man has other plans, the old man will not only not mention it, but will also slap his old face himself."
His expression was solemn, and his tone was extremely sincere.
Han Mo stood up, stepped forward, arched his hand at Guan Mu, and said, "The kid is abrupt, if you have a gaffe, please forgive the big shopkeeper." The big shopkeeper treats me sincerely, and I dare not forget this kindness."
Guan Mu hurriedly got up and held Han Mo's arm with both hands, "Xiao Shui, don't do this... Although you and I are two countries, in the final analysis, we are both of the same root and the same species. More than 100 years ago, you and my ancestors were still from the same country, but the world is changing, and there are national boundaries...... But who can guarantee that in a few years, or decades and hundreds of years, our descendants will not be from the same country? If you have been together for a long time, you will be divided for a long time...... It's hard to explain the things of the world. People like us just want to live on the word 'faithfulness'......"
Han Mo smiled gently, helped Guan Mu sit down, sat down again, and asked, "Does the big shopkeeper know how Yanjing is doing now?" ”
"As far as the old man knows, it's just two things" Guan Mu said slowly: "The first thing is to order the envoys of the two countries to immediately order that the spies of the two countries lurking in Yanjing must be evacuated quickly, otherwise if it is found out which country still has spies waiting for an opportunity in Yanjing, the negotiations will be terminated immediately... ”
"This is the fear that the two missions will assassinate each other." Han Mo said calmly: "If there are a large number of casualties in the envoys of both sides in Yan Kingdom, in the end, my Yan Kingdom will definitely be in trouble...... and asked: "What is another matter?" ”
"It is to arrange for officials to start negotiations with the two countries" Guan Mu said with a peculiar smile: "This time your emperor arranges negotiations, which is really interesting."
Han Mo looked at Guan Mu and waited for him to continue.
"If the information is correct, now your great uncle ...... That is, Han Xuandao, the head of the household department, led a group of officials to be responsible for negotiating with the Wei State, and Xiao Taishi personally negotiated with me Daqing......" Guan Mu smiled strangely: "Xiaoshui, isn't it interesting to say this?" ”
Han Mo narrowed his eyes...
This matter is really interesting, but Han Mo has a strong insight, in the middle of this interesting thing, there is a hidden mystery, and Han Mo also felt the hidden blade in an instant
Now in the Yan State court, everyone knows in their hearts that the faction represented by the Han family is dedicated to Lianqing, and Xiao Taishi's party is to join Wei to attack Qing, and take the war as an opportunity to strengthen its strength, so as to accumulate capital to get rid of other families.
But now that the Han family is negotiating with Wei, and the Xiao family is negotiating with Qing, they have just turned around, and in such a negotiation, the Han family is bound to make things difficult for Wei in every possible way, and Xiao Taishi will obviously deliberately sabotage the negotiations with Qingguo.
At first glance, Emperor Yan was obviously inappropriate, but if you think about it carefully, there is a big way in it.
This kind of negotiation, even if it is to be sabotaged, must be left without a trace, not only can the hostile faction not be allowed to find evidence of sabotage the negotiation, but also in the course of the negotiation, the opponent must not be allowed to find a way to sabotage the negotiation.
It is not difficult to imagine that when the two factions are negotiating, their real attention may not be really on the negotiation, but always pay attention to the negotiation on the other side.
And if you really want to sit at the negotiating table to negotiate, in order not to sabotage the peace talks without a trace, the lion opens his mouth to ask for negotiation conditions, which is also one of the means that the two factions of Yan State must use.
In fact, this arrangement has entangled internal and external forces and fought with each other, in other words, this arrangement may also damage the royal family in some aspects, but on the whole, the benefits of the royal family far outweigh the disadvantages.
Han Mo's eyes flickered, this arrangement was full of mysteries, and he didn't have the heart to think about them one by one at this time, so he just said lightly: "Since An Yuqing was killed in Yan Kingdom...... Can Yanqing and the two countries continue to talk? ”
Guan Mu sighed lightly: "Some things seem impossible, but if you have the heart, you can always do it." As soon as An Yuqing died, Wei naturally had the upper hand in negotiations...... But negotiation is a matter of heart-to-heart work, and no one can guess what will happen in the end until there is a real result."
Han Mo also sighed, although he didn't see it in person, but he was sure that today's Yanjing City was only afraid of a miasma, and the internal and external forces were intertwined, and a good scene was being staged over there.
The matter of the Wind Country must be resolved quickly, so that I can go back and sit on a chair and watch the play
