Chapter 36: Sending Envoys to the Widows
It was Xun Shang who played Cao Cao, saying that the palace had no intention of apologizing, and it happened that the news came from Le Lang not long after, and it also provided him with enough evidence from the side.
The reason is that the information transmission lag caused by the poor level of communication, Cao Wei's armies in the north and south have already retreated and returned to China, Liu Yi still doesn't know it, and is still stupidly fighting in the south of Mazishui, Goguryeo defended the twelve fortified villages here, and he conquered five in a row regardless of casualties.
As a result, the palace who had returned to Maruto Mountain was forced to lead his army across the Mazi River to defend it, and eventually a fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the west bank of a river called Xishui. The Goguryeo army was a mourning soldier with deep thoughts of revenge, but the Lelang army was just here to pick up the bargain, and was not psychologically prepared for the main showdown, so under the battle, Liu Yi suffered a defeat, lost thousands of troops, and was forced to retreat to Lelang - he also took the opportunity to capture thousands of Goguryeo civilians, talking about compensating for the war damage.
The battle of Xishui happened to break out on the second day of the arrival of Xiangping, and at the same time, it broke out four days before Xun summoned him, so Xun used this as an excuse after receiving the battle report from Liu Yi - you see, the palace sent an envoy to apologize, it was all hypocrisy, and he just wanted to paralyze us, so I directly imprisoned him and didn't take him to Luoyang to deceive the Son of Heaven.
In this regard, Cao Cao played Cao Cao, placed more than 30,000 Goguryeo people near Qianshan, built 37 tuns, appointed Deng Ai as the lieutenant of Diannong, and Shi Bao as the deputy lieutenant of Diannong, leaving the town guard. A few years later, the cantonments in various places were abolished one after another, and most of the Diannong Zhonglang and Diannong school captains were directly converted into counties, and most of the Diannong captains were directly converted into counties, and these cantonments near Qianshan were newly set up as Daning County. With Deng Ai and Shi Bao as county magistrates, Cheng - the future will not be ignored for the time being.
Let's say that Xun arranged post-war affairs in Xiangping. Stayed for more than half a month. Only then did he leave to return to the capital - when he returned to Luoyang, he failed to catch the New Year's Festival, and it was already the middle of January in the fifth year of Yankang for more than half a year. Prior to this, in addition to Pingzhou, the soldiers and horses of the four states returned to their hometowns one after another-the East China Sea Division also helped transport some of the soldiers and horses-Shixun waited for a person to arrive in Xiangping and talk with him, and then finally set foot on the way home.
Who is this man he is waiting for? It turned out to be his proud disciple Qin Lang and Qin Yuanming.
Qin Lang did not follow Shi Xun Dongzheng at first. One is that this disciple's literary affairs are acceptable, but his martial arts are not good, and it is useless to bring him, and on the other hand, it happened that his father Qin Yi was seriously ill, and Qin Lang left the capital to visit. After seeing Niu Lidu, the envoy of the Japanese State brought by Liu Yi in Xi'anping, Shi Xun specially wrote to Qin Lang to ask: "Yuan Ming has no ambition?" "If you have that ambition and courage, then hurry up to Liaodong to join me.
The so-called "Bowang", of course, refers to Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, who sent an envoy to the Western Regions during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Go and make an envoy for the country. Qin Lang received the letter and hurried to see his father Qin Yi and Qin Yilu. Ask how to reply. Qin Yi said that since the lord gave you this opportunity, how could there be any reason not to accept it quickly? You're still asking me what I'm doing?
"The Lord has a great kindness to my family, and he will repay it. He will be generous to his guests, and he will not harm my son. If I lose the love of my lord, I am afraid that my house will be ruined. "Three sentences with three meanings, one is to say that you want to repay the favor, the second is to say that there should be no danger, and the third is to say - do you really dare to disobey is the meaning of Xun? Although he used a tone of discussion, we must carry it out as an order!
So Qin Lang hurriedly whipped his horse and ran to Xiangping to see Shixun, and asked where Mr. planned to order his disciple to go? Regardless of the ends of the world, disciples are willing to go!
Shi Xun nodded: "I want Yuan Ming to make a widow." ”
Shixun had summoned Niu Lidu many times before and asked him about the situation of the Japanese land, only then did he know that he dared to love this Niu Lidu was not a minister of Wei, and his original mission was to cross the sea to contact the various ministries of Benhan, hoping to expand trade and trade and learn shipbuilding technology. It just so happened that Liu Yi asked Ben Han to "pay tribute", so the Han people sent him directly. In this case, it is pointless for Shixun to bring Niu Lidu to Luoyang, and he must send people to the Wadi and ask them to officially send an envoy to Wei to pay tribute.
But who should be sent to the Wadi? Based on the principle of "fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", it is also convenient for him to teach and control, Shi Xun first thought of his disciple Qin Yuanming.
Why choose Qin Lang? In the original history, Qin Yilu had already abandoned his wife and children, but his wife Mrs. Du was taken captive by Cao Cao and accepted as a concubine, and Qin Lang, as a drag oil bottle, became Cao Cao's adopted son. It is said that Cao Cao likes Qin Lang very much, and even boasted to others: "Is there anyone in the world who loves a fake child like a lonely?" ”
So Qin Lang, who grew up in this splendid pile, was very unsuccessful, but he was favored by the Wei lords of the Wen and Ming dynasties. The history books say: "Emperor Shi Ming likes to make a move, and there are a few people who are slight, but Lang can't stop it, and he hasn't tasted a good person." He also said: "Although the Quartet knows that Lang is incapable of doing anything, he still uses the supreme in the vicinity to bribe him more, and the rich are all princes." "In other words, everyone knows that Qin Lang has no ability, but because he is close to the emperor, he often bribes him - even if you can't help me, at least don't make me bad - so that Qin Lang's family is rich and rich.
But in this timeline, Qin Yilu did not leave his wife and children, Cao Cao did not get the Du family, Qin Lang was raised as the son of Xunmenke, and it was Xun who looked at Qin Yilu's face and accepted him as a disciple. In fact, Qin Lang was the first to be accommodated, purely because this child is famous in history, although he has no talent, and there is no great evil, he is also a bit of a celebrity collector.
But Qin Lang, who grew up in this completely different environment, has an ability and endowment, which is estimated to be far from the original history. First of all, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rong did not fall in the end, which shows that Qin Yuanming is not stupid, and there is still a little cleverness, and after being taught by Shi Xun's ear and the famous teacher, this little cleverness is gradually transformed into ...... can't say great wisdom, at least it's not a mediocrity of self-preservation; Secondly, if he grew up with Cao Cao when he was not a child, Qin Yuanming would not be able to become a gentleman, and his talents and ambitions would at least be above the middle people.
is the Qin Lang that Xun understands, there are three strengths: one is beautiful and elegant, even if he interacts with the famous people of the world, he is not inferior, which is incomparable to his father and rough embryo Qin Yilu; the second is the argument of good tongues, the world says, the disciples of Taiwei, "Qin Yuanming has what he says"; The third is that he is very filial, and he has no bad intentions. Of course, this child also has a problem, that is, he pays too much attention to etiquette, refuses to wear it if he is not splendid, and his daily use is slightly extravagant.
Qin Lang sometimes chatted with the little brothers, and also expressed his depression, saying: "Shelang was born twenty years old, and when Mr. Sui rushed to the princes, he made great contributions to the country." Now the princes are half-smiling, and they have a long tongue, what will they do? Will you make the barbarians care? And how can the barbarians know the wonder of my words? "It's really not the right time, no matter how eloquent I am, who can I debate with?
These words also reached Shi Xun's ears, so this time he remembered Qin Lang, specially called him over, and taught him a lesson: "The twists and turns of the people are not in the tongue, but in the hearts of the people." "The first important thing in a diplomatic mission is to understand the other party, and the second most important thing is to take advantage of your tongue - I am going to send you to the land of the Japanese people, where do you dare to go?
Qin Lang asked blankly, "Where are you?" ”
Shi Xun unfolded the outline map of the Japanese archipelago that he had drawn and gave Qin Lang a general introduction to the location of the Japanese archipelago. Qin Lang heard that the other country was lonely hanging above the ocean, and he was a little flustered, so Shi Xun comforted him and said: "Of course, the wind and waves on the sea are unpredictable, but from Liaodong to Lelang, Lelang to Han, Han as for the Japanese, all the way is also through, there is no need to worry." Xi Bowang chiseled the air, and there were Huns covering the road, and he was still able to return with his whole body, and set an example for future generations, but what about the situation? ”
At that time, the Xiongnu blocked the Silk Road, and the road from Longxi to the Western Regions was basically not walked, so Zhang Qian's trip was called "chiseling". Even so, he went through many hardships and dangers, and finally returned to the Han Dynasty, didn't he? Nowadays, the sea route from Liaodong to Wadi, there are often merchants coming and going, as long as you are well prepared and collect complete hydrological information, it is unlikely that you will encounter unforeseen storms and waves, so what else do you have to fear?
Qin Lang begged: "I wish to be sent by the sailor." "If I were to take the big ship of the East China Sea Division, it would be much more reliable than taking the small boat of the merchants. Shixun nodded: "I will make arrangements." ”
Immediately, based on what Niu Lidu said and his own later generations, he roughly introduced the situation of the land to Qin Lang, and then asked him: "Does Yuan Ming have a plan?" How can it be said that it is a subordinate? Qin Lang said that the remote place and the wild country are estimated to be like the original Yelang, sitting in the well and watching the sky, not knowing the size of China, but fortunately, they were canonized in the Han Dynasty, so this can be used as a breakthrough - "If you get the sailor and the giant boat to send you and threaten the people, the disciples will be able to make the humble and tributary." ”
Shi Xun shook his head: "In this way, there is no need for Yuan Ming." "If I just want Beimihu to send an envoy to Chao Wei, then take care of Niu Lidu and let him go back to China to report to the queen, won't I have it? To deal with such a remote and small country, and to ask my Great Wei Heavenly Dynasty to send people to inform them first, asking them to pay tribute, how faceless.
Qin Lang was confused: "Dare to ask Mr. Zhenyi." ”
Shi Xun said: "There are more than 20 countries in Tsukushi (the ancient name of Kyushu Island), and there are still dog slaves and so on. Its east Yiyu (referring to the two islands of Yiyu, that is, Shikoku Island), half of Tsukushi, and then Qiujin Prefecture (the ancient name of Honshu Island), four times that of Tsukushi, all have a country. Yuan and Ming should declare all the countries, so that all the dynasty Wei, Si Nai did not live up to this trip. "If you summon more than a dozen or even more vassals to Cao Wei in one go, then the court will have a lot of face, then it will be worth me to send you on this trip. (To be continued......)
