Chapter 824: Envoy to Shuzhong
"Yao Xiangguo's words are old-fashioned, just send someone to Shuzhong according to what Yao Xiangguo said, but I don't know who to send?" Li You also knew that it was almost impossible to launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time, and the financial situation of the imperial court would never allow him to do so, so it seemed that it would be better to try to solve the problem of Shuzhong peacefully.

"The minister recommends the young secretary of Honglu Temple, Duanmu." Wang Ji, who was in charge of the ministry, immediately turned out a suitable candidate from his mind, this Duan Mu Jian is a child of the family, but he is not a son like Shi Huaiyi, so he is not valued by the family, and he is also very unaccustomed to the behavior of the elders in the clan who only care about fighting for power and profit, so he has to drink and have fun all day long. When Yuan Zhang occupied Henan Province, he happened to be out and about, and only then escaped a catastrophe, and then joined the Jiazhou army by chance.
Although this Duanmu see has no power to restrain the chicken, he can read history books to the fullest, his eloquence is outstanding, and he is quite accomplished in vertical and horizontal studies, so it is really suitable for him to serve as this envoy, Yao Guangxiao, Jiang Suiyun and Fan Li and other important ministers of the court also expressed their support for this candidate, so Duanmu saw became the envoy to Shuzhong.
After the boycott of the dynasty, Duanmu saw that he came to the imperial study and discussed the strategy of the trip with Li You and several important ministers of the court, and then returned home to pack his bags, a few days later, Duanmu saw a group of guards out of the capital, and went south to the Shannan East Road of Luo Zhaoyuan's garrison.
"General Luo, there is an envoy from the Jia Dynasty outside the city asking to see you!" It was not far from the capital to Gyeonggi Province, and it didn't take much effort to come to the city of Luo Zhaoyuan's garrison, and ordered someone to explain the intention to the defenders, but the defenders did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the news to Luo Zhaoyuan's hands.
"The Jia Dynasty has just recovered the Guannei Dao and killed Arubu, what does it mean to send an envoy?" Luo Zhaoyuan was afraid that the Jiazhou army would suddenly go south and attack Shannan Dongdao every day, and now when he saw the other party's envoy asking to see him, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly found the deputy general Zhao Xuanzhe to discuss.
"From the point of view of the last general, I am afraid that the envoy of this Jia Dynasty has come to persuade him to surrender." Zhao Xuanzhe also has some ability, "Although the Jia Dynasty has won one after another, the Central Plains has been in turmoil for many years, and it has not yet recovered its vitality. ā
"That's good, that's good!" As soon as he heard that there was no need to fight, Luo Zhaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but a new problem came again, he didn't want to cause the dissatisfaction of the Shuzhong court because of the envoy of the Jia Dynasty, you must know that he had been stationed here for several years but had not made an inch, and there were already people in the court who were dissatisfied with him, "Since this is the case, then let them go back, this general is deeply favored by the emperor, how can he do such a rebellious thing!" ā
"General, slow!" Zhao Xuanzhe hurriedly stopped, although the Jiazhou army did not have the ability to capture Shuzhong in a short period of time, but there was no problem at all to send a small group of soldiers and horses to solve them, Zhao Xuanzhe didn't want to anger the Jia Dynasty and bring disaster to himself, so he hurriedly persuaded, "If you persuade us to surrender the envoy, you will not come over generously, maybe this envoy is going to Shuzhong, if you turn it away, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" ā
"It's a possibility." Over the years, the name of the Black Ice Platform has already spread all over the world, and this kind of persuasion of the enemy generals has always been done by the Black Ice Platform, and it will never be as generous as it is now, so Luo Zhaoyuan changed the order, "Come on, go and ask what this envoy means?" ā
The subordinates took the order and left, and came back with news after a while, "General Qiyu, the person who came is Duanmu Jian, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple of the Jia Dynasty, who was ordered by the emperor to go to Shuzhong to meet His Majesty and Su Xiangguo. ā
That's good, so it seems that the Jiazhou army at least now does not plan to attack here, Luo Zhaoyuan immediately issued an order, let people open the city gate to escort Duanmujian through the city, to the next checkpoint, he did not personally meet Duanmujian, so as not to get into trouble for himself, as mentioned earlier, the internal political struggle in Shuzhong is very fierce, and these Shuzhong giants are fighting with each other, forcing him to be cautious, so as not to get into trouble.
"I'm just a powerless scholar, so Luo Zhaoyuan is so afraid? It can be seen that the soldiers and horses in Shu are indeed unbearable! "Even the most prestigious generals in Shu are like this, and others can be imagined.
Duanmu saw that he was in a hurry to pass through the city, but he traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and from time to time he had to find a local big family to visit, of course, these are all appearances, his actual purpose is to check the reality in Shu, and prepare for the future pacification of Shuzhong.
Along the way, there were a lot of garrisons along the way, but most of them were skinny, with vegetables on their faces, not to mention armor on their bodies, and even their clothes were tattered, if it weren't for the knives and guns in their hands, Duanmu would have thought that these were beggars! It is even inferior to the righteous army in Henan Province, and it is even said to be the Jiazhou army.
As for the life of the common people, it is even more miserable, Duanmu often sees the local tyrants and shoddy gentry exploiting the people, causing them to be displaced, and even some people can't bear it, and they are angry, which is similar to the time when thieves rose in the Central Plains a few years ago.
The life of the people and soldiers is miserable, but the days of those local tyrants and inferior gentry and civil servants and military generals are very nourishing, because of the name of this Duanmu family on their heads, so along the way, there are many Shuzhong families who take the initiative to invite each other to enter their mansions, but it is a different scene, these people's daily enjoyment is even more luxurious than Li You, causing Duanmu to shake his head secretly, if they are allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that if they can't wait for the arrival of the Jiazhou army, the king of Shu will be overthrown by the chaotic people, right?
Stopping and stopping all the way, Duanmu Jian secretly kept the situation in various places in mind, and as he got closer and closer to Yizhou, the capital of the King of Shu, Duanmu saw that the task of this trip was getting more and more bottom-up, and this trip would definitely not be in vain.
When he arrived in Yizhou, Duanmu saw that he first came to live in the post house, and then conveyed the meaning of the visit to the king of Shu, and this document soon came to the hands of Su Zican and others.
After a few days of delay, Duanmumi finally waited for the news of the summons.
