I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

In order to finalize the overall situation in one fell swoop, except for Yanzhou Governor Zhao, on May 16th and [-]th, the crossing team used all its transport capacity to send airborne rangers to swinging states and counties such as Qingzhou, Xiangzhou, and Yangzhou.It is also the psychological tactic of exerting extreme pressure and knocking the mountain to shake the tiger. After learning the lesson of the so-called "a cup of tea", the implementation of the rest of the states will be much smoother.

The hijacked governor of the state and county had a secret grudge against the coalition forces, and the unprecedented sound and light special effects suddenly hit their faces, destroying all their psychological defenses immediately.After the rather disgraceful rolling and crying and even vomiting, these political elites in the Middle Ages did not hesitate much, and immediately chose the bright path.A few fierce men with better psychological qualities quickly adjusted their mentality after the shock, and took the initiative to talk to the special forces soldiers beside them, showing their dedication to fighting.

Because of the differences in values ​​between ancient and modern times, these self-recommended resumes basically didn't get the key points, only a few pieces of military intelligence about the Northern Dynasty were quite critical, and they were forwarded to Mu Chen.

In order to show their self-worth in front of the unknown mysterious forces, most of the chiefs of the border states and counties used the northern army as tiger skins, implying their important contributions in resisting the invasion of the northern dynasty, intentionally or unintentionally exaggerating the threat of the northern army.In front of the traverser team who opened the full map perspective hanger, this kind of exaggeration is of course not worth laughing at.However, some of the information revealed in the intelligence and their reconnaissance confirmed each other, which aroused the concerns of the advisory group.

——To put it simply, although they have bombed the capital of the Northern Dynasty on time as agreed, the tens of thousands of troops stationed north of the Yangtze River have completely lost their will to attack.But so far, the Northern Army has shown no sign of retreating.

This is so strange—the transportation capacity in the Middle Ages was horribly backward, and every day when 10,000+ troops were stationed, the cost was astronomical.Such a stalemate on the north bank without moving is tantamount to a waste of state money without war or peace, the most stupid and ridiculous military move.And these 10,000+ elites stay on the north bank every day, even if they really have no fighting spirit, they are still a great threat to Jiangnan.

The traversers discussed this for several days, but they still couldn't come to a conclusion.To put it bluntly, this kind of operation is extremely stupid in both military and financial terms, and it cannot be understood with normal logic at all.In the end, it was Wang Zhi who cited the historical facts of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and pointed out that there must have been some internal fluctuations in the Northern Dynasties. For some strange political reasons, the high-level officials insisted on not allowing the army to retreat.

According to Gao Duo, Guo Zhao and others, the politics of the Northern Dynasties generally had a three-dimensional structure. The emperor was young and weak, and the government was controlled by Qi Wang Gao Yue and Zhou Wang Yu Wenyong.Now that they suddenly killed the King of Zhou, the power of the Northern Dynasty suddenly became unbalanced, and it is reasonable to have politically confusing actions.

But what are the specific political fluctuations, and even how the situation will develop, that is beyond the grasp of the traverser's current intelligence network.

So the consultants discussed repeatedly, and decided to let Yi Cheng and Du Heng go on missions again to investigate the situation in the north, and use a little deterrence to break the current stagnant and strange stalemate.

With the same force deterring the traversers on the north and south sides, the second mission will be much smoother.They crossed Hebei within two days and arrived at the Northern Army camp outside Xuzhou City again.After Yi Cheng and Du Heng announced their names and intentions, the Northern Army immediately opened the gate of the camp, and welcomed the two of them inside, and invited them into the exquisite guest room prepared in advance.After the two settled down for a while, all the generals in the army and the governor of Xuzhou came to visit.

Remember

However, although the attitude of the North was so enthusiastic, as soon as the two men mentioned the arrangement of the Northern Army, the officials and generals immediately talked about him, and refused to give a correct word no matter what.If they were in a hurry, the ministers in the north would simply not say a word, or they would say that they knew that their own words were light, and that important matters had to wait for the nobles in the court to decide.As for how the nobles in the court decide, of course they don't know anything.

Yi Cheng and Du Heng stayed in the barracks for five or six days, but they still didn't get any accurate news. However, due to their limited responsibilities, they couldn't leave the negotiation behind.After waiting so hard in the camp, when he was about to get impatient, finally an official from the Northern Dynasty came to invite him respectfully, saying that a prominent official had come from the court and wanted to talk to the envoy in person.

The two of them lifted their spirits, knowing that they had been waiting for many days, and the show meat finally came!

They were led by the guards, turned around in the tent of the Chinese army, and turned into a very hidden tent in a corner.The lights in the tent were dimly lit, and it was quite dim, but what came oncoming was a burst of bitter aroma of dragon brain.

The borneol is a rare treasure in the sea, and it has always been only allowed to be used by princes and princes in the court at any time.Du Heng's heart trembled, he knew that there must be a great noble person in the tent.He flirted with Yi Cheng, and after arranging his clothes, he walked in slowly.In a blink of an eye, I saw the flames flickering in the small tent, four or five people stood in the middle with their hands down, surrounded by two luxuriously dressed men.

This formation is not surprising, but when Du Heng and Yi Cheng raised their eyes, they couldn't help but feel a little pale—the man in Chinese clothes on the left is tall and straight, with a deep face, but his facial features seem to be that of the King of Qi in Jiankang City A replica of the eldest son Gao Duo.

With such a face appearing in the army of the Northern Dynasty, its identity was almost ready to be revealed.Yi Cheng and Du Heng glanced at each other, but he didn't take any action yet, but he heard the king of Qi in front of the tent smile slightly, with a calm tone:

"Judging from the expressions of the two of you, you probably have seen Gouzi before?"

He spoke calmly, without any anxiety about his beloved son being captured.Such a calm demeanor is really the posture of a powerful minister and giant.Du Heng's heart moved slightly, and he saluted with crossed hands:

"Boy, I have met His Royal Highness King Qi. One month ago, the son and our army met in the Yangtze River, and there was a slight discord between them, so I temporarily left the son to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, as a landlord."

King Qi's expression was calm, but he smiled lightly.

"When the two armies are fighting, casualties of prisoners are inevitable, but it is the emissary who worked hard to make up for it." He said indifferently: "However, the North and the South have been hostile for a hundred years, and now our army has suffered heavy losses. Such a bloody enmity cannot be solved by a polite envoy." It's a cover-up. If it weren't for the Southern Dynasty's force, you and I would never have had the chance to meet. Now that the king is here under orders, there is no need to talk about these nonsense with each other. If you have any threats or demands, just mention them."

As expected, he was an important official in the Northern Dynasty. These few words were clear and clear, which aroused Du Heng's admiration. So he bowed and held the letter written by King Hengyang with both hands.Just as the guards around Du Heng were about to take over, they heard a scream from King Qi's side. The man in Chinese clothes standing beside him had shrunk back, almost unable to stand still and about to stumble.Immediately beside the man, a man in black stepped forward, and reported in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall, and it is not very good to guard against evil magic. Let me check—"

Before he finished speaking, Du Heng stared at the person coming without blinking for a moment—just now the tent was dimly lit, and the surrounding figures could not be distinguished, but now the man in black stepped out, and under the firelight was an old The skinny barbarian has a long face, Du Heng stared at it for a moment, then let out a sneer:

"Mo Zhan Luo, are you going to perform a show for the nobles?"

The expression of the barbarian in black suddenly changed, he looked up at Du Heng's face, and even his lips trembled.He remained expressionless for a moment, and finally opened his mouth slowly:

"So it's Du Langjun..."

Remember

Du Heng nodded calmly, his expression unchanged, but he laughed so hard that he couldn't bear it.Three years ago, when he traveled down the mountain with his master, he met this third-rate alchemist Mo Zhanluo among the people.Such a nasty character, unexpectedly got mixed up with a nobleman like King Qi today?Could it be that the Northern Dynasty court was shameless?

He squinted his eyes and glanced left and right, just in time to see a sullen look on King Qi's face.Du Heng's mind turned for a moment, and it became clear at once—King Qi clearly didn't take any "sorcery" seriously, but he couldn't bear it until now. It must be that the dignitaries in the Northern Dynasty were too frightened, and they wanted to invite an expert to protect them at all costs.

Of course, as long as you look at the ruins of the arsenal after it was bombed, an expert with a normal mind would never dare to show up before King Hengyang's bombing, so after counting and counting, he had to let Mo Zhan Luo, a flamboyant character, climb up. Up high...

There was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and he had already guessed how panic and terror was going on in the Northern Dynasty... Now King Qi's voice and expression are all serious, but it's just to put on face.

Seeing Du Heng's strange expression in front of him, Mo Zhan Luo finally didn't dare to put on an act, and after barely mumbled a few words, he could only shrink back and bow his head.The noble guards behind him looked at each other, as if they couldn't figure out how the master could change so quickly.The guards around Du Heng were stunned for a moment, and finally looked at King Qi's face and stepped forward cautiously, and took the handwritten letter.

King Qi stood at the top and looked at it for a moment, then nodded his head slightly, and immediately a scribe turned out from behind, took the letter and tore open the envelope, and began to read the letter of King Hengyang aloud.

As soon as the scribe read a few sentences, someone in the military tent immediately changed his face——Muchen's letter this time has a clear purpose, which is to scare the Northern Army into breaking the deadlock, so the sentences are extremely tough, much sharper than before.At the beginning of the letter, there were a few polite sentences, and immediately began to rave about the crimes of the Northern Army, as if they had the momentum to fight if they wanted to.The sentences in the article are plain and straightforward, but they are extremely straightforward in exposing many crimes of the Northern Dynasty, such as plundering the people, destroying farming, and inciting rumors.

Of course, due to the explosion in the arsenal in the capital more than ten days ago, no matter how harsh the letter was, the nobles of the Northern Dynasty could only bear it by force and grit their teeth to express their dissatisfaction.The scribe who read the letter naturally knew the anger of your lords, so he hurried to speak faster, and wanted to finish reading this majestic letter with no swear words as soon as possible.

After reading together in such a way, the scribes got a little stuck in the last few paragraphs.In this passage, the King of Hengyang eloquently denounced the Northern Dynasty’s military aggression. In order to manufacture building and ship equipment, large-scale projects were carried out on both sides of the Yangtze River, and the dense forests in the upper reaches of several states were cut down, resulting in extremely serious——

"--serious--water, water and soil--loss." The scribe stammered: "It destroys the harmonious coexistence of man and nature--ecological civilization--"

The scribe could read no more.He paused with an uh, and there was a moment of silence in the tent.

It was a bewildering silence. The nobles of the Northern Dynasty looked at King Qi, and King Qi looked at the two envoys in front of the tent, and the envoys stared at the ground motionlessly.

No one spoke, and everyone looked at each other dully, expressing their bewilderment in silence.

Such an awkward atmosphere lasted for a moment.In the end, King Qi sighed for a long time, and finally waved his hand to let the scribes continue reading.

——He thought about it several times, and barely guessed that this was the tone of Mencius' so-called "entering the mountains with an ax and weight". Probably the Hengyang king in the Southern Dynasty believed in Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius.As for "soil erosion"... King Qi refused to think about such things.

Seeing the implication from his immediate superior, the scribe cleared his throat and continued to read.After reprimanding water and soil erosion, the King of Hengyang opened fire again, listing the tragic scene of the people in the south of the Yangtze River being destroyed by the flood (the king of Qi opened his mouth, but he didn't ask what the relationship between tree cutting and the flood was), and sternly demanded that the Northern Dynasty pay attention to the conservation of trees Water, after all...

The scribe's eyes seemed to pop out as he stared at the last few lines of the letter.

After hesitating so many times, he finally said out with trembling lips:

"Green—green water and green mountains, is, that is, gold and silver—mountains?"

Although the letter from His Royal Highness King Hengyang silenced the camp for a quarter of an hour, after everyone managed to wake up, the negotiation went on smoothly.The Northern Dynasty was deterred by King Hengyang's violence, and the Southern Dynasty was short of manpower, so both sides needed to compromise. So after repeated discussions, the two sides reached a preliminary consensus - King Qi withdrew the army of the Northern Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty agreed to open up trade between the two sides of the strait and treat them well. Capture the Northern Dynasties and ensure the safety of the Northern Dynasties capital.

So far, the mission of Du Heng and Yi Cheng has been achieved.When the two left, the King of Qi appointed a Northern Dynasty imperial family as a special envoy to negotiate and return south with them.

The clan of the Northern Dynasty, named Yuan and named An, was already in his fifties and could hardly move around.This time he took the initiative to invite Ying, on the one hand, the royal family has no one to share the worries for the country; on the other hand, he is also concerned about his personal relationship.He exchanged pleasantries with Du Heng, Yi Cheng and others, and immediately bowed his hands respectfully, saying that his niece, Yang Chan, was once married into the harem of the Southern Dynasty, and I wonder if she is well?

Of course Du Heng knew nothing about it.On the contrary, Yi Cheng accompanied Mr. Wang to sort out the roster of the harem. After careful recollection, he finally got an impression. He hesitated and said, "Before we cleaned up the palace, there seemed to be a Yang Chan, Yang Chonghua. Could it be your niece?"

Hearing this sentence, Yuan An felt very sad immediately, and almost shed tears.He sighed and told Yi Cheng that his niece was originally from a famous family, beautiful and intelligent, but she had a demure and tolerant temper, suffered bullying in the harem, suffered from depression for a long time, and had been bedridden and dying for several years.If it weren't for the fact that the mother's family still had a little power, I'm afraid it would have been the fate of old age and death in the cold palace.

"My niece entered the palace as Chonghua, and now five or six years have passed, and her status is still Chonghua. Isn't this just living in the harem until she dies?" Yuan An sighed: "Don't dare to ask the envoy, my niece ……are you OK?"

He said it was okay, but his expression was very gloomy, as if he felt that the situation in the Southern Dynasty had changed suddenly, and his niece had a bad life, so it would be good to save her life.

Yi Cheng hesitated for a moment, trying to recall for a while - he met Yang Chonghua in the harem, she was indeed a thin and haggard woman like a piece of paper... But after sorting out the list in the future, he vaguely remembered that Yang Chonghua was good at architecture and was edited What kind of "lost musical instrument group" has joined, and there is a monthly salary of [-] yuan...

"--should be--okay?"

Yang Chan shuddered, her jade-like eyes were full of fear.

She raised her hands tremblingly, but she stretched her wrists several times, but she never had the courage to approach her face.Her fine white teeth bit her bright red lips, barely holding back a moan in her throat, and there were already hot tears in her eyes——

A sneer came from Yang Chan's back, it was Liu Zhaoyi's charming laugh, soft and charming like a lark's cry, but there was indescribable indifference and viciousness in his voice.

"Don't touch it anymore." Liu Zhaoyi said in a manly voice, "It's the same if you touch it again. Who told you to eat so much fried chicken—have you got acne? You deserve it."
