Chapter 399: Prognosis
Gou Luo'an was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "General Yang is loyal and righteous, and my king and villain are admired." However," he said, "since it is an enemy country, the war horse is a militaristic weapon, and when it enters the Song realm, General Yang has no reason to attribute it to the enemy." "Exactly. Wang Gui and Yang Yanzhao echoed, and when they saw Yang Ye glancing over, they didn't dare to make a sound.
"These 500 war horses in the river can be regarded as if our country accidentally drove them across the border and were captured by General Yang. Gou Luoan smiled.
Leaving Yanmen Pass, you will enter the border of Liao. Wu Yingying and Han Derang have always maintained contact with each other, and the goods of Han Derang and other Youyun Han clans have also taken the caravan of Fuhaixing to the west. At this time, Han Derang was already powerful, from Shanhou Prefecture to Nanjing, and then to Shangjing, the caravan of Fuhaixing passed all the way unimpeded.
Han Derang read Wu Yingying's letter again, his eyes were cold, and he stared at the messenger who came to deliver the letter. Gou Luo'an only felt that the gaze on the other side was as sharp as a blade, although he had been in turmoil for a long time, he couldn't help but secretly chill in his heart, and he saw a slight sweat on his back, and arched his hand: "Lord Han, my king has told me that this letter is only delivered, and I don't know a word about the content." β
"Oh?" After being silent for a while, Han Derang said slowly, "It seems that King Xia values you very much." "He has always paid attention to appearance, and burly, since the consul of the guard, his body has been draped with fine and gorgeous fish scale armor, covered with a light fur belt, whether standing or sitting, there is a momentum of not being angry and self-assured, since taking over the palace division army in the past few months, whether it is the Khitan or Xi commanders, they have cleaned up for him well, whether it is the school parade or the court play, other important generals have unknowingly become his foil.
In front of such a world-famous hero, Gou Luo'an felt inexplicable pressure, but as the secret envoy of King Xia, he couldn't show his cowardice in front of the enemy country, so he simply raised his head, faced Han Derang, and smiled slowly and said: "Lord Han has won the award, and my king attaches more importance to the friendship between the lords, so he sent a special trip to congratulate Lord Han on his rule and the country, and to express his good intentions." β
Since Han Derang unified the army, his prestige has increased day by day, and he has been promoted to gather generals in the past, and the commanders below dare not look up, but today he saw that the envoy of the Xia Kingdom could still talk to him calmly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "Then Mr. Lao Gou told King Xia that his kindness is understood in my heart." He paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "King Xia has covered the land of thousands of miles in the river in the Western Regions of Longyou, but the northwest border is not a place for heroes to rest their horses, I don't know if there is a heroic plan to enter the pass?"
Gou Luo Antou breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had turned around from the ghost gate, and said with a smile: "The northwest land is prosperous under the governance of my king, and the restoration of the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties is just around the corner. However, when Xiao Ke came from the east, he heard that the Great Song Dynasty was fighting hard to recover Yanyun. "It is implied that Liaoxia is under the threat of the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Great Song Dynasty is more likely to attack Liao than Xia, at this time of tension, Xia Guo will naturally not set himself on fire and take the initiative to attack Guanzhong.
Han Derang smiled slightly, sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, my country suffers from a national mourning, and is trying to recuperate. β
Gou Luo'an said goodbye from the Han Mansion, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, Wu Yingying wanted to take advantage of the Liao and Song Dynasty to attack Guanzhong, but it was only a plan to secretly advance within a very small range of the Military Intelligence Division, the Marching Division and the Dragon Tooth Army. Han Derang is like this, with the Central Plains court is full of talents, how can no one notice, it seems that this strategy to take the middle of the customs seems simple, but if you want to succeed, it is extremely difficult.
After Han Derang waited for Gou Luo'an to leave, he took Wu Yingying's secret letter and read it carefully, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Empress Xiao ordered himself to lead the guard, there were many rumors outside, and it was not difficult for Wu Yingying to hear some false news, but he concluded that Empress Xiao had the jealousy of the Lu family, and would kill his own wife and family, and let himself have no queen for life, but it was too appalling. The so-called intimateness, with the pattern of Wu Yingying, it seems that he would not do such a stupid thing to fabricate slander to separate himself and Empress Xiao, but if it is expected by him, wouldn't he know Xiao Xuan better than himself? Such a person is inevitably too terrifying. Now that the major events in the court have just improved, even if it is as Wu Yingying said in his letter, how to choose still needs to be carefully considered. When LΓΌ Buwei was in power for a while, it was because he left his family in another country that he was convicted by his political enemies, and he lost everything.
Han Derang shook his head with a wry smile, got up in his clothes, it was getting late, and he had to go to the palace to stay guard. Although the chiefs of all ethnic groups and important ministers of the court have successively pledged their allegiance to Xiao Sui and Yelu Longxu, Han Derang did not dare to relax the guards of the palace ban, he is a Han Chinese, and now the net worth and lives of the Han family have been accumulated for three generations, and the lives of thousands of loyal subordinates are desperately bet on Xiao Sui and Yelu Longxu, and there is no room for mistakes. It seems that the magnates among the Khitans, such as Yelu Xiuge, Yelu Xianzhen and others, changing the emperor is just changing the allegiance of a person, but for Han Derang, if there is an accident between Empress Xiao and Yelu Longxu, he and his subordinates who follow him will be a doom. Xiao Xuan also took a fancy to this, so he insisted on letting himself lead the guard, Han Derang said secretly in his heart.
"The concubine is sending her husband off. Cai lowered his head, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, he saw his eyelashes trembling slightly, Han De's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't comfort her because of the many servants next to him, so he only said softly: "Thank you, Mrs." His voice is strong, Cai's listen, with a little warm taste, can't help but feel slightly sour, since they got married, couples get together less and leave more, and the number of round houses is also very rare. The husband and wife deal with military and political affairs day and night, and they are busy contacting heroes from all over the world, and the in-laws see that they have not come out for a long time, and they are quite complaining, and the concubines are even more gossipy, and the outsiders are terrible, and the ambiguity between the husband and the queen mother is passed on to the heart, and they laugh at themselves for not being able to keep men. Mother-in-law can't hold her grandson, it's hard to see a good face on weekdays, and even persuaded Han Derang to take a concubine as soon as possible, she was born in the daughter of the Youyan family, and has always known books and etiquette, so she can only bear silently and serve her husband and in-laws wholeheartedly.
Came to the palace guard office, before he sat down, the guards came to report, the queen mother summoned, Han Derang got up without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Xuan's palace room was surrounded by strict guards, but only Han Derang was able to go in without unstabbing the knife, the maid Sa Ge only waited at the door, his pretty face was slightly red, he was indeed much more dazzling than the man next to him.
Xiao Yu saw Han Derang approaching slowly, his beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and he said happily: "Derang." Seeing Han Derang standing solemnly, and asked him to sit down beside him, this was the beginning of the two getting along, and Han Derang always couldn't resist Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan showed Han Derang a few copies of the recital on the table, and said with a smile: "On the Nanjing Road, the land and farms of the Han people who fled south were rewarded to the current cultivators. She picked up another copy and said, "Now that the government is advocating Confucianism, the scholars have heard that this dynasty is planning to open a department to recruit scholars, and they are all studying hard, and they have also written a lot of articles praising this dynasty. β
Seeing her expression of joy, Han Derang smiled slightly: "Farming is the foundation of the country, advocating Confucianism and the imperial examination can win people's hearts, but these are not things that can be seen in one or two years, although there is some improvement, but in order to cater to the wishes of the officials of Nanjing Province, there must be a lot of exaggerations." Seeing Xiao Xuanliu's eyebrows frowning slightly, he said again, "But they dare to boast like this, they should still have some reliance, and it is not bad to give a discount of three or four points." Nanking Road is where he started, and Han Derang knows the situation there very well.
