Zhen Jian stood on the high dirt slope, looked north, and saw that ten miles away, a huge city was located at the edge of the mighty Han River, and the other three sides were wide moats, and the river water was shining in the sun, like a crystal belt, protecting Xiangyang City in it.
Outside the moat, there was a barracks like the sea, and the white tents were clustered in the east and west, like white clouds, densely packed, from east to west, covering nearly thirty miles, and the nearest tent on the slope where they were located was only three miles away.
On the Han River in the distance, countless ships wander in the river, there are hundreds, that is the warship of the Liang State, the reason why the two cities of Xiangfan are easy to defend and difficult to attack is because of its unique geographical location, there are Han water and moats to block the footsteps of the enemy, and the nomads in the north are not good at water warfare, these hundreds of small warships have consumed their great energy, but with little effect, Zhen Jian is the first time to see the ancient war, the original scene and scale are so grand, he feels dizzy.
"The Liang people's cavalry is coming!"
Liao Yan spoke, and sure enough, he saw a cavalry team set off from the camp of the Liang army and galloped towards them, the speed was extremely fast, although there were only a hundred people, but the killing aura when rushing was terrifying.
Xu Jie said: "We were discovered?
” "It has been discovered a long time ago."
Liao Yan smiled lightly, "The scouts of the Liang army must be all over the Xiangyang realm, and no disturbance can escape their eyes, we can come here because our team is small, and they don't bother to pay attention to us at all." ” After Liao Yan finished speaking, he took the two back to the team and waited quietly on the road.
Soon, the cavalry of the Liang people climbed up the high slope and appeared in front of them, and when they were only a mile away, the cavalry stopped, and a general in black armor sent men to ride forward, and when they reached twenty zhang away, he shouted and asked, "Who is here?"
Reinforcements from the State of Chu?
” They speak the Chu language, because the Xiongnu and the Liang State have been learning the culture of the Great Chu for decades, and nearly half of the people in these two countries are Chu people, so the Chu language has almost become a common language in their country, and even the emperor of their country used the Chu language, because there are also many officials in the court who are Chu people.
"I'll go talk back."
Xu Jie spoke.
Liao Yan hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, Xu Jie took more than a dozen steps forward, and replied loudly: "We are the peace envoy sent by the Great Chu Emperor, and we are here with a letter of state to see your marshal, we are here with sincerity, we don't want to use swords and soldiers in vain, and ask for the marshal of Haerhan to give me a meeting!"
” Hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhen Jian couldn't help but feel sad, a weak country has no diplomacy, Chu is now a weak country, the envoy negotiated with people, begged others to meet in a low voice, and begged others to receive gifts with a calm face later, he felt very humiliated, but he was very helpless, who made you weak.
The leader of the cavalry of the Liang State said coldly: "I am Chihe Nahe, the centurion of the Xiaoguo Battalion of the Great Liang Wolf Division, since you are the envoy sent by the Emperor of the Chu State, follow me into the camp, and then make a decision after I have passed the commander." ” Xu Jie glanced back at Liao Yan, Liao Yan nodded, and Xu Jie replied loudly: "Okay!"
We're with you!
” Chihe Nahe said coldly: "You are in front, we are in the back!"
” Liao Yanrang ordered, the team moved forward, Zhen Jian said to Hou Qinglan and the little stick head: "I'm going to enter the military camp of Liang Guo, you follow me closely, don't walk around, let alone talk nonsense, you know?"
” "Hmm!"
The two nodded in unison, although Hou Qinglan was very skinny, but at this time, she didn't dare to mess around.
Zhen Jian turned over and rode his horse, and as the team moved forward, Hou Qinglan and Xiao Stick Tou drove their horses to his left and right, and their team passed by Tulle's hundred-man cavalry, but Tulle's cavalry marched behind them, like herdsmen driving sheep.
After going downhill for three miles, entering the Tule army camp, Xu Jie secretly stepped forward and stuffed a money bag to the centurion Chihe Nahe, Chihe Nahe first began to frown and refuse, but when Xu Jie opened the money bag and let him take a look, Chihe Nahe's eyes suddenly lit up, only to see that it was full of gold beads, this bag of gold beads, there are one hundred taels, if converted into silver, it is more than two thousand taels of silver, the economy of Liang is far less developed than Dachu, the annual national financial revenue is only three million guan, almost only one-tenth of Dachu, Although Chihe Nahe is a ten-master commander, his monthly military salary is only two taels of silver, even if he makes military achievements, the reward will not exceed one hundred taels, he has been in the army for fifteen years, and he has only saved more than a thousand taels, and this money bag has already exhausted his efforts for so many years, can he not be blushing.
Chihe Nahe secretly took the money bag and stuffed it into his waist, Xu Jie smiled and said: "General Chihe Nahe, please help us say a few kind words in front of the marshal, we are here with sincerity, our sincerity ......
It's huge. ” When he said sincerity, he gestured a big circle with both hands, and at the same time glanced at the money bag on his waist, that meaning, fools can understand, this sincerity must also be related to money.
Chihe Nahe suddenly nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, General Ben understands what you mean, don't worry, General Ben will definitely tell Dashuai." ” According to the past practice, the marshal eats meat, and the generals drink soup, from the commander to the centurion, there is soup to drink, because the centurion is the most important grassroots cadre in the barracks, if you don't give them some soup to drink, they will make a mood, and they can't tell what kind of mess will happen, Chihe Nahe is a centurion, just qualified to participate in drinking soup, if the marshal receives the "sincerity" of the Chu people, he can get a little soup to drink, as for whether the marshal receives sincerity, it is not within his consideration, what he can do is to create opportunities.
Zhen Jian watched from afar Chihe Nahe from the beginning with a straight face to the money bag, and then to the later smile, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, sure enough, wealth is moving, no one does not love money, money can make ghosts grind, and the truth that cannot be broken for thousands of years.
Chihe Nahe arranged for them to live in the camp, and got a military camp for them alone, outside the barracks was full of Liang Guo's men and horses on guard, Zhen Jian came to the main tent, and Liao Yan sat in the main seat.
As soon as Zhen Jian came in, Xu Jie also came in, Liao Yan spread his hands and said, "Two deputy envoys, sit!"
” Zhen Jian and Xu Jie sat down on the left and right, and Liao Yan asked, "Deputy Envoy Xu, has Chihe Nahe received it?"
” "Accepted."
Xu Jie smiled slightly and said, "The people of Thule are really very poor, Chihe Nahe originally had a straight face, and when he saw the gold beads in the money bag, he immediately accepted them with a smile, and promised to help me convey their handsomeness." ” "Alas......"
Liao Yan didn't have much joy when he heard this, but sighed loudly, "I didn't expect the old man to wag his tail and beg for mercy to the Thule people in such a low voice in his lifetime, it's a great shame, my incompetence, and the misfortune of the country." ” Zhen Jian hurriedly said: "Lord Liao is serious, Lord Liao endures humiliation for the sake of the country, others don't understand this kind of integrity, but Zhen Jian admires it a lot." ” "Xu Jie too."
Xu Jie arched his hand and said, "This envoy, the humble post has made up his mind, in order to succeed, even if the Tule people let Xu be humiliated by his crotch, Xu will never frown!"
” Liao Yan's face was solemn when he heard this, he looked at the young Xu Jie, and then at the younger Zhen Jian, and suddenly showed a slight smile, and said with a smile on his face: "The old man has been an official for twenty-seven years, and in the past twenty-seven years, the traitors in the court have been in charge, the vertical son is rampant, the future of the country is bleak, and there is no hope in sight. ” Liao Yan said again: "I hope you can not forget your original intention and not be contaminated by the filthy atmosphere in the court, so that Da Chu can have hope." ” Zhen Jian arched his hand and said: "Lord Liao is dedicated to the country, Zhen Jian admires, the future is too long, now that we have gone deep into the enemy camp, it is better to discuss how to negotiate." ” "Hmm."
Liao Yan nodded, looked at Zhen Jian, and said, "Deputy Envoy Zhen, you proposed the divisive plan, do you have any suggestions?"
” Zhen Jian thought for a while and said: "Lord Liao, forgive the lowly and courageous, if Chaharhan is willing to see us, the lowly wants to be the first to speak, that is, the lowly will negotiate with him." ” Liao Yan frowned when he heard this, Zhen Jian is the deputy envoy, he Liao Yan is the envoy, but Zhen Jian wants to snatch the authority of his envoy, if this is changed before, Liao Yan directly refused.
But Zhen Jian ran thousands of miles to solve the crisis of gold being transferred, which made him trust Zhen Jian even more, so he decided to give Zhen Jian a chance and spread his hands and said, "Tell me your reason." ” Zhen Jiandao: "Lord Liao, in fact, this strategy has been carefully considered, and after countless deductions, all the reactions of Chaharhan have been predicted, and various ways to deal with them have been prepared, and the probability of persuading Chaharhan is as high as seventy percent, because the content is too much and complicated, and it is impossible to inform the adults one by one, so it can only be negotiated with the lowly position in person to be effective." ” Liao Yan frowned and thought about it when he heard this, nodded and said: "Yes, but as a righteous envoy, this official can't always be used as a decoration, and if he doesn't say a word, then Chaharhan won't say that this official is too arrogant and looks down on him." ” "When the time comes, the lowly position will give a hint to the adults."
Zhen Jiandao, "When the humble position asks the adult to speak, the humble position will touch his ears, and when the humble position asks the adult to stop, the humble position will touch the nose, but the humble position knows that the adult has always been upright and irritable, but when the time comes, you must hold back and talk less, so that you will not be easy to get angry." ” Zhen Jian said Liao Yan's shortcomings so bluntly, Liao Yan was stunned, but he was not angry, now when he talks about the major events of the country's peril, he will talk about the matter and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the party, which is a good thing, although Liao Yan is not very good-tempered, but he has a lot of belly, he will never be angry because others say bad things about him, and the things that can make him angry are basically about the country.
"Are you really so confident?"
Liao Yan looked at him suspiciously.
Zhen Jian solemnly arched his hand and said: "It is related to the safety of the country, and it involves the life of the lowly position, how dare the lowly duty be contemptuous, please believe in the lowly duty." ” "Okay."
Liao Yan hesitated for a moment and decided to believe Zhen Jian, after all, he is also very good at introspection, knowing that he has a very bad temper, and sometimes he will indeed be unable to control his emotions, so it is better to hand over this errand to Zhen Jian, although Zhen Jian is too young, but from his words and deeds, it makes him feel extraordinary calm, which makes him feel confident.
Xu Jie asked at this time: "Zhen Jian, what do you need me to do then?"
” "You ......"

Zhen Jian thought for a while and said, "You can be responsible for smiling." ” "Smiling?"
Xu Jie and Liao Yan were stunned when they heard this.
"Yes, smile."
Zhen Jian nodded solemnly, "Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that we have prepared such a heavy gift." ”
