Chapter 211 The messenger revisits
"What's the matter?"
The guards immediately reported: "Report! Luoyang sent an envoy to ask for his visit!"
“How many people?”
"There are ten people in a row!"
Everyone was in an uproar. This was the second time that an envoy was sent from Luoyang. This means that Huaxia City has been paid attention to again, otherwise how could it be that it would be possible to send people over twice in a row.
"Staff Officer Guo, what do you think?"
"I think Luoyang is paying attention to it again for a few reasons. When this person comes, he will inevitably ask about the whereabouts of the former envoy. After all, several months have passed. If the former envoy returns, he will disappear for no reason. Everyone will check it. This is one of them.
Secondly, since we have occupied Jinyang City recently, the news may have been passed back to Luoyang. Emperor Ling of Han was probably unable to send troops to pursue him, so he sent an envoy to come. This trip may be a revenge.
Third, I think there is a promotion of monetary policy. Once we promote monetary policy again, it will inevitably have an impact on the rule of Emperor Ling of Han. After all, as the foundation of a country, if our Huayuan erodes the scope of Luoyang, then their economy will be in our hands. How can he not be in a hurry? There will be no good things in this trip."
The three points Guo Jia said are nothing more than, one, I am gone, and I must be with you, so I sent an envoy to find you. Second, you have fought my city, I want to ask you why. If possible, let you obey me and give you some benefits. Forget this matter. Third, your monetary policy has shaken my rule, which is serious.
After saying this, no matter what the messenger's arrival is, it is not a good thing. Then Wu Chaojing asked: "Staff General Guo, according to this, are we seeing each other or not?"
"See! Why don't you see me? Not only do you have to meet me, but you also have to keep the messenger for a while, so that you can't let him go back too quickly. Or you can show him how our legion trains, and our advanced weapons, etc."
He wants to implement the delay, time is very precious for the exhibition, and it is a day to win. By the way, it is a day to show off his muscles and let him go back and tell the Ling Emperor that the Chinese Legion is an army that is more elite than the elite. If you dare to touch them, you will have to pay a lot of price. This is their bargaining chip.
"What should the messenger Zhang Shun do before? As far as I know, Zhang Shun died of illness in prison yesterday. If they knew about this, they would definitely send someone to attack us."
Zhang Shun was detained for a while and served three meals a day, but some people always felt arrogance. When they got sick some time ago, Qing Cang sent someone to treat him, but he refused. Unfortunately, he died of illness yesterday.
Guo Jia asked back: "If we don't admit that Zhang Shun has come here, what do you think he can do?"
This is true. In the era of chaos, death is common. Maybe Zhang Shun was killed by a bandit on the way? This is not necessarily the case. As long as he was beaten to death and refused to admit that he had come to Huaxia City, there would be no suspicion in Huaxia City.
In this way, Qing Cang has made a decision.
"Okay, let the messenger come in."
The person who came in was a man in his thirties. He wore a dagger around his waist. The decorative effect of swords in ancient times was greater than practical, and this dagger was not necessarily used for self-defense.
Guo Jia asked, "Who is here? Let's sign up!"
The man looked around. All the generals were wise and wise men were also magnificent. When his eyes stopped on Yang Xiaomei and others, he hesitated for a while and was probably shocked. How could there be female generals in this court? Although he was confused, he did not say anything. He knew very well what the purpose of this trip was.
When the man locked his eyes at Qing Cang, he said, "Mr. Qing, I am the envoy Li Shang, sent by the court."
There was only one person sitting in the chairperson in the court, which was Qing Cang. There was a legend that Qing Cang was a short man. In his eyes, this short man was a bit too young.
He called Qing Cang the gentleman, not the city lord, which was to show his position. If he was called the city lord, then he recognized Qing Cang's status as the city lord. As an envoy, he understood what his position was, because he was a diplomat and he should give priority to the interests of Emperor Ling of Han.
Qing Cang looked at him with admiration. This man, Keke, Zhang Shun, must have more diplomatic talents.
He asked, "Li Shang, what are you doing when you come to my China?"
"People say that Mr. Qing is a heroic boy. It turns out to be like this when I see it today. I have two things here. The first thing is, do you know if Mr. Qing met the messenger Zhang Shun?"
Guo Jia replied on behalf of Qing Cang: "Li Shang, there are so many people in the world called Zhang Shun, we may have met them."
Li Shang smiled dryly, and there was no problem with answering this way. He knew very well that it would be meaningless to ask again, because no one would admit this kind of question unless he was funny.
"The second thing is that my emperor loves talents as his life. He knows that Mr. is a genius of all ages. He specially ordered me to come and invite Mr. Xu to serve as the chief lieutenant."
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taiwei, Situ and Sikong were the three dukes, and the rank was the highest official position. The three dukes were nominally the highest official positions, but actually had no actual power. These three dukes were respected by Taiwei. Emperor Ling of Han did not have a prime minister, because during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, He Wu suggested establishing a three-duty system on the grounds that the prime minister could not handle a lot of political affairs. A prime minister was divided into three dukes, a measure aimed at dispersing the power of the prime minister.
Li Shang said the same thing as the eunuch Zhang Shun, which was obviously about recruiting people. He did not give real power. He intended to let Qing Cang manage the country for him, but only suggested power. At the same time, he could clear the hidden danger of Qing Cang. This was the second recruiting people. Perhaps there was a third and fourth time until Huangfu Song, sent by Emperor Ling of Han, returned victoriously, that was the time for liquidation. Qing Cang understood this more than anyone else, and his appearance gave the Eastern Han Dynasty a lot of uncertainty.
This time it is obviously more generous than last time. At least to outsiders, Emperor Ling of Han gave Qing Cang a larger and larger bargaining chips. At the same time, everyone looked at Qing Cang and wanted to hear what he answered.
Qing Cang listened to Guo Jia's advice. It is impossible to be recruited. Why should we give up the city he has worked hard to make? Just because of one sentence? That is impossible!
"Li Shang, you came from afar. I guess you are a little tired. Why not take a break today and wait for tomorrow before talking about it! Liao Bao! Send Li Shang to the best inn to live in."
He didn't give Li Shang any chance. At this moment, Liao Bao went out directly. He held the meteor hammer and was extremely domineering. His figure was obviously several laps larger than Li Shang.
"Mr. Qing..."
Before Li Shang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liao Bao. He didn't give him any chance to speak. "Li Shang, come with me!"
Before the two left, Qing Cang said, "Liaobao, Huaxia City is so beautiful, take Li Shang everywhere, especially our soldiers' lives are particularly rich."
Liao Bao didn’t know what Qing Cang was hinting at. “Yes, Commander, I will take him everywhere to take a look and ensure that Li Shang feasts his eyes!”
As soon as Liao Bao finished speaking, he made an invitation. Li Shang knew that it would be useless to say more, so he followed Liao Bao out of the meeting hall.
Qing Cang seemed to have room for ease of ease in doing this, but in fact he was to hold him back. I didn't refuse or agree. I asked you to guess so that you could buy some time for Huaxia City. He was not afraid, nor was he afraid of it again. This was just a diplomatic method.
