Chapter 721: Sharpen the knife
Wu Nian had no good impression of the queen mother of Goguryeo.
But the two sides did not fight each other, and they did not tear their faces. Now he has driven the forces of Chu back to Shanhaiguan. The main energy is focused on dealing with the Mengyuan people.
Goguryeo is a regional powerhouse.
Even if you want to avenge the blockade of food, you have to rank behind the Mengyuan people.
Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.
Let's do this big thing first.
"Who is the envoy?" Wu Nian lifted the curtain of the car and asked the officials who came on horseback.
"General Hui. It's Li Cao Zhenglang and Chen Chengfu. Currently drinking tea in the living room. The official replied truthfully.
"Still old acquaintances." The essence in Wu Nian's eyes flashed.
"Got it." Wu Nian waved his right hand at the horse riding officer and let him go down. Then he found a personal soldier and ordered: "Go and tell Liu Changshi about this matter." Let him wait a moment and come with me to the envoy. ”
"Yes." The soldier responded with a fist clenched and rode away.
Forthwith. The brigade continued to go to Jiang County. Long Ji, who was riding a horse next to Wu Nian's car, passively listened to this matter.
After thinking for a while, he said to Wu Nian: "General." After these days of training, placement. The six soldiers who garrisoned 10,000 households had already taken root in Liaodong and had combat strength. ”
"We are sharpening our knives and are about to fight to the death with the Mengyuan people. This Goguryeo man intervened sideways. What do they mean? ”
Long Ji held the reins of his horse, and his face was gloomy and restless.
Here in Wu Nian, there are more people who have enmity with the Mengyuan people. Wei Yu has a deep blood feud with the Mengyuan people, and he can't wait to kill all the Mengyuan people he sees.
Long and his whole family were killed by the Meng Yuan people.
"Hold your breath. Don't overthink it. What does Goguryeo mean, I don't know until we meet. But no matter what. Brothers. Our purpose will never change. Blood debt and blood repayment. Back then, I started with 300 elite soldiers, and now I'm afraid that they won't succeed? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. If Goguryeo had any bad intentions, slaughter it. ”
Wu Nian heard that Long Ji's mood was wrong, opened the curtain, and said comfortingly.
"Hmm." Long Ji hummed, and his mood calmed down a little.
Wu Nian's words contained great power, which convinced him very much.
The brigade entered Jiang County, and then docked in front of the gate of General Fuhan's mansion. The captains all left, and the important ministers entered the Fuhan General's Mansion and went about their own business.
Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing got out of the carriage together, and under the guidance of the officials, they arrived in a living room.
Chen Chengfu sat on the first Taishi chair on the right, drinking tea quietly, and an official sat opposite him, talking alongside.
"General. Lord Liu. ”
The official stood up and bowed to Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing.
"Hmm. Great work. You go down first. Wu Nian bowed his head lightly and said.
"Yes." The official responded, first hugged Chen Chengfu's fist, and turned to go down. Wu Nian came to the main seat, and sat down with a golden sword.
Liu Zhixing sat in the position of the official just now.
Chen Chengfu stood up and took a deep look at Wu Nian. When he came last time, Wu Nian was still a seedling, and it was still a question whether he could stand up.
Time flies, and now Wu Nian in front of him is the real general of the Auxiliary Han, the lord of the three mansions, holding eighteen soldiers of ten thousand households.
In terms of the number of soldiers, it was already about the same as their Goguryeo.
At the beginning, the Queen Mother also planned to recruit Wu Nian, lure him to benefit, move him with affection, and know it with reason. Now the status of both sides is equal.
And embarrassingly, they joined the plan of the Mengyuan people, blocking the grain during the drought, intending to kill Wu Nian.
As a result, Wu Nian not only survived, but also got stronger and stronger.
"General. I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still glorious, which is really gratifying. Chen Chengfu took a deep breath and said with a fist.
"It's the same with Mr. Chen. The years have not left a mark on Mr. Wu Nian bowed his head lightly and reluctantly said a pleasant greeting. Then he went straight to the point: "Mr. Chen." Last time your Queen Mother sent you to recruit me. This time. What is her intention? ”
Chen Chengfu simply bent down and saluted, and said sincerely: "General." The Queen Mother sent me. It is for things at the time of the drought. ”
"Banning grain exports is not the Queen Mother's original intention. It was the coercion of the Mengyuan people. The Queen Mother specially sent me to apologize to the general and explain the reason. ”
"Also. Apologies. The Queen Mother specially asked me to bring a thin gift, this is a gift list, and I asked the general to look at it. Chen Chengfu stretched out his right hand, took out a fold from his left sleeve, and bent down and held it respectfully in front of him.
Liu Zhixing stood up, took the fold from Chen Chengfu's hand, and handed it to Wu Nian.
The light in Wu Nian's eyes flashed, and after reaching out to take the gift list, he looked at it at a glance.
Dongzhu, beauty, steed, Korean ginseng, etc. It's something that is precious and can't be used right away.
"It's better to send me a million catties of grain, or silver." Wu Nian sneered in his heart, but as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out.
He closed the fold gently, and said very politely, "I see." As he spoke, he stood up and said with emotion: "The people of Mengyuan are strong, and the soldiers are like the sun, and they cannot be forced." ”
"The Queen Mother is orphaned and widowed, and she can only obey the will of the Mengyuan people. I understand it. ”
"I accepted the gift. I sent someone to send my husband to the pavilion to rest. Wait for tomorrow. I wrote a letter in person, and Mr. Lao Fu took it back to Goguryeo and presented it to the Queen Mother. ”
Chen Chengfu's task was completed, and he suddenly exhaled a long breath. There was a happy look between his eyebrows, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity." ”
Wu Nian smiled and nodded, and then called an official in and sent Chen Chengfu down to rest.
"Zhixing. What do you think? Wu Nian was like garbage, put the gift list on the coffee table, and looked up to ask Liu Zhixing.
"The queen mother can stabilize the court situation, and she has the ability. Goguryeo had nearly 200,000 soldiers, and it was also quite powerful. ”
"But in the end, it is a woman, and her strength is much weaker than that of Meng Yuanren. She listened to the words of the Meng Yuan people before and blocked the export of grain to us. Now I feel that the general is strong and sharp. He also sent someone to apologize sincerely. The grass on the wall is poured on both sides. This is normal. ”
Liu Zhixing pondered for a while, then raised his head and said.
"Hmm. Goguryeo had strength, but not absolute strength. Small countries have flexible diplomacy and are the way to survive. ”
Wu Nian's thoughts coincided with Liu Zhixing's, and he nodded and said.
But he didn't intend to forgive the queen mother, the drought blocked the food, but almost starved to death millions of people in Liaodong.
But she was very knowledgeable, but she saved a lot of trouble.
Let's leave it there for now.
After recovering Liaodong and expelling the Tartars, let's talk about it.
Thinking of this, Wu Nian's face showed a serious look, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhixing." I just had a few words with Long Ji. ”
"He said we can sharpen our knives now."
"What do you think?"
