Liaodong Taishou Mansion, Gongsun Gong's birthday banquet.

Gongsun Gong was sick and haggard.

There were all kinds of guests at the banquet, Karasuma guest, Xianbei guest, Goguryeo guest, Korean guest, and Japanese guest.

Gongsun Yuan was a young man, and behind him stood a Fuso samurai Noda Dairo.

The waiters with birthday gifts rushed in. A waiter sang:

"Karasuma Kuni's congratulatory gift has arrived."

"The Xianbei country congratulatory gift has arrived."

"The Goguryeo congratulatory gift has arrived."

"The Korean congratulatory gift has arrived."

"The congratulatory gift of the Japanese country has arrived."

Gongsun Yuan casually inspected the birthday ceremony and disdained it.

In 190 A.D., Gongsun Du killed his father, Gongsun Chen, and established himself as the Taishou of Liaodong, and the three generations of Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong to Gongsun Yuan were divided, and he called himself the King of Yan, became the overlord of the northern sea, controlled the choke point of Bohai trade, expropriated and extorted from merchants, and even adopted cruel "Sanguang" piracy against large amounts of money and merchants. They were both officials and bandits, which became the biggest hazard to the maritime trade in northern China at that time.

Gongsun Yuan inspected the congratulatory gift of the Japanese Kingdom, his eyes lit up, and he was attracted by the two large pearls. Play for a while, and then put it in your sleeve.

The envoy of the Wa Kingdom bowed and said: "The Queen of the Wa Kingdom greeted Her Royal Highness King Yan and asked for a hundred bronze mirrors in Luoyang. ”

Gongsun Yuan laughed and said, "Quasi! But why go to Luoyang to buy a bronze mirror? The quality of my Liaodong bronze mirror is excellent, and you can buy it at will, but the price can not be worse than the Luoyang Gongjing. ”

The envoy of the Wa Kingdom looked embarrassed, and bowed again: "The queen personally explained: you must put on the Luoyang tribute mirror, if you buy the Liaodong bronze mirror, how can the villain return to the queen when he returns to China?" ”

Gongsun Yuan smiled and said, "This is easy to do." I have a Luoyang official mirror here, and you can present the queen's decree in front of you. For the other ninety-nine sides, I will explain that all the manufacturing houses are cast with the words Luoyang Gongjing. This one is the manager of Li City, and he will help you do it. ”

The envoy was silent.

Li Shi said to the envoy of the Japanese State: "The young master has already explained clearly, please, Minister Lord." ”

The envoy shook his head helplessly, and followed Li Shixia.

The waiter reported: "There is a scholar who calls himself Jiang Gan, and he says that he has a heavy treasure to offer to the young master." ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "Jiang Gan? Not impressed. Heavy treasure? Take a look. ”

The waiter said: "Jiang Gandao: This is a national treasure, and it must be presented to the young master." ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "National treasure? Okay, then please. ”

The waiter said: "Mr. Jiang is invited to the court." ”

Jiang Gan held a feather fan, swayed to the hall, and said, "See His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

The waiter said, "This is His Royal Highness the Young Master." ”

Jiang Gan said: "Today is the young master, tomorrow is the king of Yan, call a few days early, why not." ”

The waiter said, "Bold! The birthday star in the hall is His Royal Highness King Yan. Who madman are you to dare to be so presumptuous! ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "Forget it, visitors from afar don't have to worry about it." If there are any treasures, take them out and see. ”

The waiter said, "Hurry up and offer treasures." ”

Jiang Gan squeezed his eyebrows at Gongsun Yuan, pointing to the sky and the earth, pointing to the east and the west, and pointing to himself.

Gongsun Yuan was puzzled and said, "What advice does Mr. have?" ”

Jiang Gan said: "I can only say it to the young master." ”

The waiter said, "Bold and arrogant! ”

Gongsun Yuan smiled: "It's a little interesting." ”

Another waiter reported: "Dongwu Zhonglang will Wantai, and the captain Pei Qian will offer treasures such as bird's head incense, large shellfish, ivory, rhino horn, and jade to buy market horses." ”

Gongsun Yuan smiled strangely and was silent in thought.

When the envoy of Karasuma Country heard the news, he got up and said, "Karasuma Country has a thousand good horses, and I am willing to trade with them." ”

The Xianbei envoy also followed up and said: "Xianbei has two thousand strong horses, which are already on the way, and they will arrive in a few days, spot trading." ”

Gongsun Yuan's eyes showed a fierce light, forcing him to look at the two envoys of Karasuma Xianbei.

Noda Dairo also wanted to draw a knife.

The waiter said, "Don't make unreasonable noise!" ”

Jiang Gan said: "If you don't know the etiquette, how can you make it?" ”

The two messengers sat down competently.

Gongsun Yuan's gaze turned calm, and he said: "The two envoys don't need to be anxious, the widow has his own arrangements, and both countries will benefit." ”

Gongsun Yuan said to another attendant: "Tell the envoy of Eastern Wu that King Yan has been fond of the rich and prosperous state of Eastern Wu for a long time, and he has long been a minister, and he will send a commissioner envoy to express his intention in the future." Recently, there have been many wars and famines in the north, and Yan is a remote place, and it is difficult to make up the number of good horses needed by the big country for a while. Allow time, store up enough of the required amount, and then ask King Wu to send an envoy to receive it. Now unprepared, so that your envoy returned empty-handed, King Yan was very unhappy, and gave back a box of good ginseng, mink ten collars, and hoped that King Wu would smile. ”

The waiter said: "Give back a box of good ginseng from Dongwu and ten collars of mink." ”

Karasuma, the envoy of the two kingdoms of Xianbei was speechless.

Gongsun Yuan said: "If there is no triviality, please enjoy all the guests, be sure to enjoy it." Please, please. ”

Gongsun Yuan turned back to Jiang Gan and said, "Mr. Jiang, please come with me, we can talk nothing in the study." Please. ”

Gongsun Yuan introduced Jiang Gan into the study, sat down by himself and said, "Sir, please sit here, please have something to say." ”

Jiang Gan carefully took out a piece of silk and sent it to Gongsun Yuan and said, "Look, this is what I spent a lot of effort to get." Priceless. ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "It's a mess on it, what is the painting?" ”

Jiang Gan said: "This is the map of Yizhou. ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "Yizhou? I seem to have heard of it. What the gentleman has to say, you may wish to say it all. ”

Jiang Gan said: "Yizhou is in the southeast of Linhai, 2,000 miles to the county, and its island is on the sea, 400 miles from east to west, and 900 miles from north to south. The land is free of frost and snow, the grass and trees do not die, the land is fertile, and there are many grains and fish, which is a good place. ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "The land is frost-free and fertile, it is a good place, but it is far away." ”

Jiang Gan said: "Fortunately, it is far away. Otherwise, it would have been in someone else's pocket. ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "Hmm, that is, there is no one to manage it now?" ”

Jiang Gan said: "It is true that no one is guarded, but there is no management, but it is not true. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Yizhou has long been inhabited. The Government has also dispatched staff to inspect and manage the management to prevent future troubles, but it has been kept secret. Therefore, very few people know about it. It is believed that King Yan is the overlord of the northern sea, and the southern maritime trade is better than the north. For example, most of the treasures of Soochow come from the sea. If the king of Yan can occupy Yizhou, then the north and south seas all belong to the king of Yan. ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "Interesting, interesting!" Xiao Wang once thought that if one-tenth of the treasures of Dongwu could be returned to Yan, how wonderful. If you can occupy Yizhou, you will draw four or five out of ten. ”

Jiang Gan said: "The young master is wise and wise, and the prosperity of Dayan is just around the corner." If the young master is interested, Jiang Gan is willing to go to Yizhou first. ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "If you don't go, you will succeed, so as not to startle the snake and return in vain." ”

Jiang Gan said: "Wise! The young master makes wise decisions! ”
