Chapter 367: The Willing One Takes the Bait
For several days in a row, Wei did not take any measures against Xu Jiao.
And Xu Jiao herself has communicated with the ministers of Wei on the issue of the frontier, but even if she is exquisite, it is difficult to be the opponent of Zhuge Liang and others.
No matter which time you want to talk about this matter, you will be surrounded by the ingenious language skills of Zhuge Liang and others.
The reason why Liang wanted to drag the issue of the frontier was to make clear its own position and participate in the action of the four countries to balance Wei.
And the main reason why Wei suddenly doesn't want to solve the problem now, in Xu Jiao, they all need to start with Xu Jiao, and then find out the whereabouts of that mysterious force.
Zhuge Liang received the emperor's will to let Xu Jiao stay in Luoyang for a while as much as possible, of course, if possible, Zhao Changqing even wanted her to never return to Liangguo.
On this day, Zhao Changqing, who had nothing to do, came to the small river outside Luoyang City again to fish.
He asked the eunuchs around him to inform the envoy of the Liang Kingdom, Xu Jiao, to come here.
Zhao Changqing's side, there are Jian Yi and Zhao Yun.
Jian Yi acted as a guard, standing beside Zhao Changqing without saying a word.
And Zhao Yun accompanied Zhao Changqing to sit on the side and fish.
Now Zhao Yun has not experienced a war for almost a long time, and his main energy now is focused on training the officers and men of the three armed forces.
This task is no less light than leading troops into battle.
This is also a choice made by Zhao Changqing after a careful decision.
At present, Chen Qingzhi, Xiao Yuming, Yue Fei and others are all in unison, and the rest of Jian Yi, Zhao Yun and others must sit in the country and maintain internal balance.
Zhao Yun, as an old man who follows him, has a high prestige in both the DPRK and the army, and it is a good thing to have him by his side to help him stabilize various situations that may arise in the country.
It is precisely because of his decision that a sentence came out among the people.
It's called 'the five tiger generals of flowing water, and Zhao Zilong of iron. ’
It means that no matter how the Five Tigers will change, Zhao Yun will always be reused by the emperor.
Xu Jiao walked behind Zhao Changqing and said, "Xu Jiao, the envoy of the Liang Kingdom, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Wei State." ”
Zhao Changqing held the pole in one hand and waved it at her with the other, signaling that she didn't have to be restrained, and then stared at the river with motionless eyes.
Xu Jiao knew the importance of fishing, so she didn't dare to disturb, so she stood quietly behind her.
After a while, suddenly a fish was hooked, Zhao Changqing pulled hard, and threw a carp on the surface of the river, and someone picked up the carp and put it in the fish cage.
Seeing this, Xu Jiao hurriedly said: "It is rumored in the world that His Majesty the Emperor of Wei likes fishing, and in a month's time, at least half a month is spent fishing. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "That's all rumors, I just sometimes feel bored, I come here to fish, when I stay in the palace on weekdays, I often feel depressed, so I think about using fishing as an excuse to come out to breathe." ”
Xu Jiao grinned and said, "Your Majesty is really a man of temperament. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled silently.
Xu Jiao looked at the man sitting next to Zhao Changqing who was quite heroic, and his posture was upright, which made people can't help but look up, and felt that this was a big man.
So he asked, "I don't know who this is?"
Without waiting for Zhao Changqing to introduce, Zhao Yun paid attention to the movement in the creek and said calmly: "Zhao Yun." ”
Xu Jiao was slightly surprised, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be General Zhao Yunzhao, who was full of guts, fortunately." ”
She knew Zhao Yun, who was an extremely dangerous figure.
Before the envoy, I heard Prime Minister Li Yijun talk about the civil and military generals in the Wei State, and among them, he praised this Zhao Yun, saying that he was a victorious general.
The person who can be so praised by Li Yijun is definitely not an ordinary person, and he needs to be handled carefully.
Zhao Yun said: "Your Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to be polite, Zhao is just His Majesty's companion today." ”
Xu Jiao frowned, listening to the implication, is it mainly for herself to come here today?
Without waiting for Xu Jiao to speak, Zhao Changqing said to her: "I know that you have not been idle recently, and you are busy running around for the border problems of the two countries, but to get straight to the point, if you want to solve the border problems, the focus is not on Wei Liang and the two countries. ”
Xu Jiao's main purpose here is to make Wei State bow its head to Liang State, and then, take this opportunity, also test where Wei State's bottom line is.
In fact, none of them realized that Wei had already stated his bottom line more than once.
That is, no harmony, no compensation, and no land cession.
This is the bottom line of the Great Wei State.
Xu Jiao didn't understand what the Emperor of Wei meant, and asked, "Why is this?"
Zhao Changqing opened his mouth and said: "Without the leading role of the Song State and the Tang State, I think, your Liang Kingdom will not do this, the problem of the frontier is to put it bluntly, the fault lies in your Liang Kingdom, after you go back today, you can write a letter to tell Xu Fengyun that the border conflict will be reduced to a small matter, and a small matter will be turned into nothing, otherwise, it will not be beneficial to anyone if it continues in a stalemate." ”
Xu Jiao also got straight to the point and said: "Since Your Majesty knows the ins and outs of the whole thing in his heart, then why do you still send an envoy to our Liang Country?"
Zhao Changqing said: "I just want to give you a chance in Liangguo." So far, Duanguo's intentions are unclear, and Song's economic sanctions specifically against Wei have not had much effect, but have suffered heavy losses themselves, and as for Tang, they have been completely frightened by the 600,000 troops of our Wei State. You say, the Four-Nation Alliance is now a virtual reality, so you really don't want to think about changing sides? Perhaps, Wei Liangliang will become the most solid ally?"
Xu Jiao smiled and said: "People with lofty ideals in the world know His Majesty's ambition to dominate the world, even if it is today, the Liang State and the Wei State are standing together, so after a few years, I am afraid that the situation of the country will still be ruined, right?"
Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "Now that countries are fighting frequently, how to better survive in the cracks is a problem that your Liang Kingdom should consider, if you stand with Wei State, I dare not guarantee it, the only thing that I dare to guarantee is that the overall strength of your Liang Kingdom will be quickly raised by a ladder." ”
Xu Jiao said: "These things are not something that my little woman can control, but I have heard a sentence, do you want to hear it?"
Zhao Changqing said curiously: "Let's hear it." ”
Xu Jiao said: "Hunters are never afraid to raise their prey, and that can only be a good thing for him." ”
Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "I like fishing, because my country's national teacher Xuan Lingzi likes fishing, during the time when Taishan was sealing Zen, as long as I was bored, I would find him to fish together." He fished very strangely, he never used a hook, and I never saw him catch a fish. Once, I asked him, "How can you fish without a hook?" In fact, the same is true for family and national affairs. Which is more important, you Liangguo can really think about it, and also, don't underestimate the ambition of this Tang Emperor, his ambition is no less than mine. ”
Xu Jiao hugged her fists and said, "Be taught." ”
Zhao Changqing looked at the stream that was constantly making waves, and muttered again: "Being an enemy with the Wei State will not end well. ”
Xu Jiao sighed: "If there is a choice, I don't want the Liang State to go against the talented Wei State." ”
Zhao Changqing said earnestly: "It's still the same sentence, those who wish to take the bait, so that you can experience it." ”
