Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

Four years at St. Ann's.

December twenty-three.

New Year's Day is approaching, and Fengyang City is becoming more and more lively. Every household is preparing New Year's goods. However, Lin Feng is extremely busy during this time, leaving early and returning late every day.

There is no way, the war to unify South Vietnam is about to begin, and Tianbingwei is being expanded from the current 20,000 to 60,000.

Artillery also needs to be moved from land to buildings and ships. These are all important matters for Tianbingwei. As the general of Tianbingwei, Lin Feng naturally has to take care of everything.

three days ago.

After Dong Shouxin, the envoy of the Yan State, received the news that the Dayan envoy was about to visit the Yue State, he immediately informed the Yue State court. When the Yue Emperor Murong Zhengming learned of the matter, he immediately felt that the matter was not a trivial matter and immediately summoned his ministers to urgently discuss how to deal with it. Policy.

This is no wonder Murong Zhengming made a fuss out of a molehill. Yan State had just annexed Yuan State and sent an envoy to Yue State. This time point was really too sensitive.

After some discussions in the royal study, the South Vietnamese monarchs and ministers unanimously decided to receive the Yan State delegation ceremoniously. In order to show his sincerity, Murong Zhengming asked Prince Murong Haotian to come out of the city to greet him in person. This was a courtesy that even Luo Hong had not received at the beginning.

There was no way, now there were only two countries, Yan and Yue, in the world. With Yan Qiang getting weaker and weaker, the Yue Emperor Murong Zhengming could only lower his profile.

On this day, Yang Houli and the Dayan delegation finally arrived at the Valley City in Kyoto, South Vietnam. As soon as the delegation stepped off the carriage, the Yue Crown Prince Murong Haotian led a group of civil and military officials to greet them.

When Yuan Ce saw Murong Haotian coming towards him, he immediately said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally came out of the city to greet you. Master Yang is so proud!"

Yang Houli shook his head, "Master Yuan's words are wrong. It's not that I have a big reputation, but that I, Dayan, have a big reputation."

After Yang Houli finished speaking, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed his hands politely, "Foreign Minister Yang Houli pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yue Kingdom. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally came out of the city to greet you. Foreign Minister is deeply honored."

Murong Haotian quickly raised his hand and said, "Envoy Yang, there is no need to be polite. The envoy has had a hard time traveling and traveling all the way. Please follow me into the city quickly!"

Yang Houli nodded, and then the two of them got on the prince's exclusive bronze chariot. Others also got on the carriage, and then the convoy headed by the bronze chariot slowly entered the city and drove directly towards Tianhe Street where the embassy is located. …

When the Yan State delegation visited the Yue State, the people in River Valley City took to the streets one after another. Wherever the delegation's motorcade went, the people on the streets began to talk about it.

Xinghe Street.

Yuzhuxuan.

Chen Zheng and Liu Zong were drinking tea leisurely while watching with interest the convoy of missionaries passing slowly on the street.

"Brother Liu, as far as I know, the envoy from the Yan State to our country this time is Yang Houli, the minister of Honglu Temple of the Yan State. When a mere fifth-rank envoy came to visit, His Majesty actually asked His Highness the Crown Prince to come out of the city to greet him in person. I thought back to the time when the Northern Yuan Dynasty Jin Hong, the king of Nanyuan, personally led a delegation to visit, and it was just Zhongshu Ling who came out of the city on behalf of the court to greet him. The courtesy today is too high! "

Liu Zong smiled and said, "Brother Chen is writing books and sayings in the Bachelor's College, but he really doesn't hear anything outside the window!"

Chen Zheng looked at Liu Zong with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother Liu, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that there is some secret behind this?"

Liu Zong nodded, "Brother Chen, does he know that Sheng and Yuan were just destroyed by Yan?"

"Nonsense, how can I not know about such a big thing? But what does this have to do with the Yan State Mission?"

"The relationship is serious. Emperor Yan has not sent an envoy for a long time, but he has sent an envoy for a long time. But he sent an envoy to our country at this time. I am afraid that Yang Houli has come with bad intentions!"

"The person here is evil? No way! What can he do if Yang Houli, a mere fifth-grade official, is evil?"

"Brother Chen, our Yue Kingdom has been on good terms with the Central Plains Dynasty since the founding of the country. The Central Plains Dynasty, whether Da Sheng or Dayan, is very willing to be on good terms with us. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because the Central Plains Dynasty must always be on guard against attacks from the nomadic countries in the north. Now that Dayan has unified the north, what do you think the Yan State will do next without any worries?"

Chen Zheng's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something, "Brother Liu, do you mean that Yan State will send troops to attack our Yue State next?"

Liu Zong nodded, "If you were Emperor Yan, would you let go of this good opportunity to dominate the world?"

Chen Zheng nodded, "It seems that this Yang Houli is indeed coming with bad intentions!"

"Your Majesty is showing weakness to the State of Yan by asking His Highness the Crown Prince to come out to greet the envoy. I hope that Emperor Yan can continue to have good relations with our State of Yue for the sake of the past friendship between Yan and Yue."

"Is...is this useful?"

Liu Zong shook his head, "Of course it's useless, but our Yue State has at least expressed its attitude. Yan State definitely needs a legitimate reason to send troops to attack our Yue State. If I guessed correctly, the Yan State envoy is here to find a reason, so we We must not give Yan Guo any excuse to send troops."

Chen Zheng nodded, "Brother Liu, the war has devastated everyone. You are on duty in Zhongshu Province. If there is any important situation, please tell me as soon as possible so that I can make some preparations in advance."

"No problem. From today on, why don't you and I come to Yuzhuxuan and have a cup of tea together? Of course, you pay for the tea."

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll pay."

"Brother Liu, once a war breaks out between Yan and Yue, what do you think our Yue's chances of winning are?"

Liu Zong thought for a while and slowly stretched out three fingers towards Chen Zheng, "Less than 30%."

Chen Zheng's expression changed, "How is this possible? Is Yan Guo's army so powerful?"

Liu Zong nodded, "Brother Chen, do you know how many armies of the Yuansheng and Yuan Dynasties were wiped out by Yan Guo's unification of the north?"

"How many?"

Liu Zong smiled and said, "As far as I know, before the war started, the Yuan Kingdom originally had more than 600,000 troops, and later more than 600,000 troops were recruited. When the Sheng Kingdom was restored, there were 100,000 troops, and later nearly 300,000 troops were recruited. The total troops of Yuan and Sheng were about 1.6 million. Now, except for the surrender of Yan's army, all the others have been killed. "

"Brother Chen must have heard about Yan Guo's Tianbingwei. Although we have a natural barrier in the south of the Yangtze River, this so-called natural barrier is basically a thoroughfare in front of the Feitian Camp."

"Brother Chen, our Yue Kingdom only has an army of 400,000 at full strength. Facing such a powerful Yan army, it is already remarkable that we have a 30% chance of winning."

Chen Zheng nodded, "That's true. It seems that war is inevitable."

On the other side, amid the discussions of the people in River Valley City, the mission's motorcade slowly arrived at the embassy.

"Envoy Yang, I have specially prepared a welcome banquet for you at the ambassador's hall. Please come in!"

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

Yang Houli quickly raised his hand and led the Yan State delegation into the luxuriously decorated embassy.

Then the extravagant welcome banquet began. The dining table was filled with famous wines and dishes from Yan and Yue. The prince of Yue, Murong Haotian, even accompanied him personally, which was enough to give the envoy of Yan a lot of face.

During this trip to South Vietnam, Yang Houli's task is to submit credentials to the Emperor of Vietnam at the Yue Kingdom Hall tomorrow morning, and then return to the embassy to wait for news. If the Yue Kingdom Court agrees to hand over the person, then he will follow Lin Feng's instructions. The plan continued to make demands until the Yue court refused.

Lu Dongyuan's mission was to secretly contact the leaders of the Yue court to put pressure on the Yue Emperor and try his best to achieve the goal of peaceful unification of South Vietnam.

Yang Houli and Lu Dongyuan were drinking and eating meat while enjoying the dance of the Yue Kingdom. Faced with the deliberate efforts to please the Crown Prince of the Yue Kingdom, they also toasted frequently and said various compliments.

Half an hour later, the welcome banquet ended successfully in a harmonious atmosphere.
