The Three Kingdoms Chapter 50 Persuasion
"I didn't think General Shi would recognize this king." Jiang Xijing, the envoy of the Pu State who was observing, raised his head and responded. Although I have heard that this general Shi Xiao has always liked to solve problems with one mouth, it is still a little difficult to describe it with my own eyes.
"Prince Jiang is polite, young and thin, so he went thousands of miles away, the first battle to seal the king, these countries lead the army, who doesn't take you as a master of the art of war? I have heard people say it when I was a child, if you are interested later, leave me a word, and I will show off with others." Squinting his eyes, Shi couldn't help but show his goodwill.
He knew that this King Zhao of the Jiang clan was good at fighting, and he was an immortal himself. If it weren't for the fact that this battle was not easy to mix too much, he would never be willing to let his most promising junior lead the troops alone in a difficult situation.
In the change of throne that year, Jiang Xijing, who was only in the realm of ignorance, made an appointment with his brother in a battle with no possibility of victory, but the final result was to kill all the 8,000 light cavalry that had entered the Li Kingdom outside the Hangu River with 3,000 foot soldiers. Completely cut off the vein that might have involved Qingyang City, and afterwards asked for a prince from the main hall covered in blood, and then ignored the court. It wasn't until Jiang Yu was born eight hundred years later that this prince sat in Qingyang City with the capital of an immortal.
"There is no need". Jiang Xijing's eyes have been circulating in the courtyard, if there is a chance, kill an enemy general without following the rules, then kill it. The Immortal Gate is even more beneficial to their side, and it is not a punishment to be grounded in Qingyang City.
The immortal sect did not dare to flip the table at will, for fear of disrupting the situation that had been divided with great difficulty, and even more afraid of the accountability of the two sides of the Buddha and the Dao. If other continents followed suit, then all the sects that dared to do so would be in danger of being completely wiped out. Winning or losing only brings a redistribution of interests, causing the collapse of one continent or even several continents, but it is completely different.
The fat man in front of him seems to be full of nonsense, and he has a whisker and a horse, but he shows all the size of Daming's spy ability. Except for the two young sons and brothers of Li Guo, who are just enjoying the scenery and drinking tea, no one is not guessing what kind of calculation this General Shi is making when he turns over the ground, it will not be a simple threat like a splash in the market, at least to himself, the threat is useless.
The previous two sentences are nothing more than useless provocations, if there is a serious courtier here in the Li Kingdom, I am afraid that even if he doesn't say it, he will have to have a suspicion in his heart, and then he will have to think carefully about it.
Shi Xiao smiled with a smile: "Two sons, envoys, it's just dawn today, and I'm a guest from afar, I'm a little unable to hold on, let's talk while eating"!
The soldier on the side pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and ordered the food to be served. A variety of dishes and delicacies were piled up all over the table, and drinks were also laid out.
Shi Xiao stood up, stretched out his two bloated arms with a smile, and poured wine one by one: "You can taste it, this is the unique catch flower brew of the Ming Dynasty, and it was our King Yin's careless effort to have this good wine in the world." It's a pity that I can't drink, and drinking in the army is not very good, so don't suspect that I am poisoned."
"What General Shi said, since it is a good wine, it is natural to taste it, but it is all official business, just drink less." Yu Kexin grabbed the small wine cup and drank it all.
"That is, if you have to talk about official business, you have to drink some wine." Yu Keran also agreed, nodded to everyone, and raised his head to drink.
Shi Xiao just sat down and got up again, stroked his palms and smiled: "The son of the Yu family, sure enough, they are all temperamental, admire, admire." If it were a different day, I would definitely drink with the two of you until dawn!"
Liang Guanghua got up and handed over the items he carried on this trip, and said happily: "I have a letter here, which was sent by the kings of the four countries after discussing it for a long time and wording for a long time, so you might as well take a look."
Before Shi Xiao could sit down, he hurriedly took it with both hands, the three big characters on the envelope with a solemn face, there was no movement for a long time, and his face changed again and again, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes decadent.
Liang Guanghua was a little strange, but the King Zhao of Pu and the Huwei General of Cangwu were indifferent, and it was not easy to ask, so he had to stand there and wait for a response.
After a while, Shi Xiao wiped the sweat from his head, glanced to the side, quickly bypassed everyone, and quietly came to Liang Guanghua's side.
Motioning to the excited Liang Shilang to bow his head and come over with his ears, he covered it with his palms left and right, and whispered: "I can't read, don't say it later, save me some face."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked around twice, regained his serious appearance, called a soldier guarding the door, and hammered the soldier in the chest with a fist: "I didn't see that your general was tired, come and read it to me."
The soldiers, who did not dare to delay, did not know what they had done wrong, so they had to take it, open the envelope, and recite it aloud.
"The letter of persuasion, General Shi Xiao personally opened. The Ming Kingdom is not in the right position......" The little soldier looked at his general as if asking.
"Tell you to study, get out of the book after reading, go to another place on duty, save the eyesore, waste". Shi Xiao, who has always been kind, was angry at his ignorant own soldiers.
Forced to hold back his grievances, the soldier began to recite.
"The Ming Kingdom was not in the right position, and he stole the 200-year-old national fortune of Dahao, called Chaotang, but he was actually a mountain bandit. Now the four countries feel that Dahao should set things right, so he agreed to the wish of Emperor Yili and sent troops to send Chen Bing Heilongguan to help Dahao restore the country. However, General Shi had the talent to command the army, and it was difficult to be brave, and he was confused by the villain for a while. Every time I think of it, I feel heartbroken, and I can't wait to talk to the general to the moon. I sincerely invite the general to join my Dahao, and His Majesty the Yili Emperor is willing to treat him as a marquis......".
Shi Xiao nodded while listening, and after hearing it, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and slapped the table: "Lao Tzu has guarded the country for the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years, and there is no merit and hard work, and he is just a general who is only a general of Zhengdong." The six books should have a place for me a long time ago. Or His Majesty Yili's discerning eyes, Shi Xiaoming's sense of five, between the lines are all sincere"!
"So, General Shi agreed? Then we have to make preparations in advance!" Hu Jie played with the wine cup in one hand, and his eyes fell on the wine.
If this Shi Xiao would sacrifice the Black Dragon Pass so easily, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed, at least until now, this person only said half a sentence of sincerity asking Liang Guanghua for guidance.
A few other people didn't care too much, and they didn't think that a general of Zhengdong who was a third-grade general could use a marquis who had not yet landed to move.
Sure enough, Shi Xiao's sleeves wiped his face, wiped all his snot and tears, and impatiently let the little soldier leave.
"I really want to go and complain to His Majesty Yili in person, but tell me, my family is all in Kyoto, and I am a loving person, if I leave a large family, in the end I will not even have a pensioner, and the wife of the chaff cannot be abandoned! This Ming is too vicious, and the generals we are fighting in front of us are not forced by this means." As he spoke, he couldn't help but wipe away a handful of tears.
Yu Kexin and Yu Keran glanced at each other, ignored them, and then ate and drank. This rhetoric is really like a loyal and good general in an enemy country. It's just that I heard that this General Shi let go of words in his own military camp, as long as the remnants of the previous dynasty dared to come over and spread wild, he Shi Xiao would die and chop up the bullshit emperor named Yili with a knife and feed it to the dogs.
"Get out, useless things, such touching letters, I can't read the slightest emotion. Whoever said you read the book, I read it all to the dog's belly, get out". Shi Xiao's face suddenly changed and scolded at the little soldier on the side.
The little soldier was at a loss, but he didn't dare to be angry, so he had to go out.
Liang Guanghua, who was originally eating and drinking slowly, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and came up with an idea without thinking: "General Shi, it's better to wait until your little prince comes to arrest him, measure that sick emperor, and he won't joke with his own brother's life, and then you can also have a long talk with His Majesty Yili justifiably!"
"It's still Mr. Liang's head is easy to use, and he thought of it with me, but there is no shortage of good hands on the side of King Yin, and this plan is estimated to not work!" Shi Xiao's face was a little melancholy, and he replaced the wine with tea, and drank it all. It seemed that this was not enough, and I drank a lot of rice porridge in one go.
"Alas, then when we kick the Emperor of Ming off the throne, how did General Shi deal with himself at that time, I heard that after the Black Dragon Pass, a new wall was built on the city, and Dingcheng Pass and the duck's mouth were horns of each other, and I don't know if I can block the iron horses of the countries. It is just that he has taken pity on many people, and the people are the most bitter when the country rises and falls!" Liang Guanghua's tone in his mouth was unbearable, but he just picked up the dishes and chopsticks while talking, but he was insincere.
"That's no way, I hope His Majesty Yili can understand my sincerity, no matter life or death, I have no regrets. The so-called Dingchengguan and Duck's Beak Mouth are just the lack of confidence of the national teacher, dying and struggling, and they can be broken with a wave of their hands, so they don't have to care. The people are just weeds, trampled on by others, life and death are in the hands of others, as long as there is time, why worry about many people and few people." Shi Xiao didn't care.
Liang Guanghua remained silent, what he said just now was saying that once the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, the situation will be reversed, and you will not end well. But when it came to people's ears, they pretended to be stupid as if they didn't hear it.
"In this case, I will definitely make it difficult for General Bingming when I go back, and I will definitely not make it difficult for General Shi, then the position of Marquis, His Majesty Yili will keep it for you at any time, and we should also go back to restore our lives." Hu Jie's mouth was raised.
"I'm going back early this morning, and some people will say that I won't entertain guests, so why don't we eat more and go home happy." Shi Xiao looked polite, but he really looked like a master who wanted to keep guests.
"Eat and drink to your heart's content, and being able to talk to someone as bold as the general is happier than how much wine you drink, so I won't bother you to send it, stay" Yu Kexin said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, General Shi's talent is no less than that of the four famous generals, but it is a pity that he is subordinate to others and has suffering." Yu Keran said regretfully.
"Who said it wasn't, I still have something in my stomach, but it's a pity that Mingzhu secretly casts. By the way, General Hu, King Yin once asked me to send you two jars of catching flowers and brewing, since you are here in person, I will save the errands. I'll pay for the others out of my own pocket, one altar per person. Take it back to the elders and younger generations to taste it, and the province is not comfortable drinking it with me." Shi Xiao smiled and asked people to bring up a jar of flowers and brew.
