Wu Nian did not like the Queen Mother of Goguryeo.
But the two sides did not fight each other or fight each other. Now he has driven the forces of Chu State back to Shanhaiguan. The main energy is placed on dealing with the Mongolian people.
Goguryeo was a regional power.
Even if they wanted to avenge the food blockade, they would still have to be ranked behind the Meng Yuan people.
Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.
Let’s get this big thing done first.
"Who is the envoy?" Wu Nian raised the curtain of the carriage and asked the officials riding on horseback.
"Reporting to General. This is Li Cao Zhenglang Chen Chengfu. He is currently drinking tea in the living room." The official replied truthfully.
"Still an old acquaintance." Wu Nian's eyes flashed.
"Got it." Wu Nian waved his right hand towards the riding official and asked him to get off. Then he found a soldier and ordered: "Go and tell Liu Changshi about this matter. Ask him to wait and go with me to see the envoy."
"Yes." The soldier responded with clasped fists and rode away.
immediately. The large group of people continued to go to Jiang County. Long Qie, who was riding beside Wu Nian's chariot, passively heard about this incident.
After thinking for a while, he said to Wu Nian: "General. After these days of training and placement, six soldiers guarding ten thousand households have taken root in Liaodong and have combat effectiveness."
"We are sharpening our swords and are about to fight to the death with the Meng Yuan people. This Goguryeo man has stepped in. What do they mean?"
Long Qie held the horse's reins with his hand, his face was gloomy and he looked restless.
Here in Wu Nian, there are many people who have enmity with the Meng Yuan people. Wei Ru had a blood feud with the Meng Yuan people and wanted to kill all the Meng Yuan people he saw.
Long Qie's whole family was killed by the Meng Yuan people.
"Calm down. Don't think too much. What Goguryeo means, I won't know until we meet. But no matter what, brother. Our purpose will never change. Blood debts will be paid with blood. I started with three hundred elite soldiers back then, but now I am still afraid of them. Can't do it? The soldiers will come and cover it up with water and earth. If Goguryeo has any evil intentions, kill it."
Wu Nian heard that Long Qie's mood was not right, so he opened the curtain and comforted him.
"Yeah." Long Qie hummed, feeling calmer.
Wu Nian's words contained powerful power, which made him very convinced.
The large group of people entered Jiang County and then stopped in front of the gate of General Fuhan's Mansion. The captains all left, and the important ministers entered the Fuhan General's Mansion and went about their own affairs.
Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing got off the carriage together, and under the leadership of officials, they arrived at a living room.
Chen Chengfu sat on the first imperial chair on the right, drinking tea with a calm expression. An official sat opposite him and talked with him.
"General. Lord Liu."
The official stood up and bowed to Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing.
"Yeah. Thank you for your hard work. You go down first." Wu Young nodded lightly and said.
"Yes." The official responded, first gave Chen Chengfu a fist, turned around and left. Wu Nian came to the main seat and sat down with a big horse and a golden sword.
Liu Zhixing sat in the official's seat just now.
Chen Chengfu stood up and took a deep look at Wu Nian. When he last came, Wu Nian was still a seedling, and whether it could stand up was still a question.
Time passed by, and the Wu Nian in front of him now was the real general supporting the Han Dynasty, the master of the three palaces, and commanded soldiers of eighteen thousand households.
In terms of the number of soldiers, it is almost the same as Goguryeo.
At the beginning, the Queen Mother planned to recruit Wu Nian, luring him with benefits, swaying him with emotion, and understanding him with reason. The status of both parties is now equal.
What's embarrassing is that they joined the Meng Yuan people's plan to block food during the drought and planned to kill Wu Nian.
As a result, Wu Nian not only survived, but also became stronger and stronger.
"General. I haven't seen you for so many years. It's so gratifying to see you still shining brightly." Chen Chengfu took a deep breath and greeted with clasped fists.
"The same goes for Mr. Chen. Time has not left any traces on Mr. Chen." Wu young man nodded lightly and barely exchanged greetings. Then he said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen. Last time your Queen Mother sent you to recruit me. This time, what is her intention?"
Chen Chengfu bent down to salute and said sincerely: "General, the Queen Mother sent me here. It's about the drought."
"The ban on grain exports was not the Queen Mother's original intention. It was the coercion of the Mongolian people. The Queen Mother specially sent me here to apologize to the general and explain the whole story."
"In addition, to express my apology. The Queen Mother specially asked me to bring a small gift. This is the gift list. Please ask the general to take a look." Chen Chengfu stretched out his right hand, took out a folding book from his left sleeve, bent down and held it respectfully in front of him. .
Liu Zhixing stood up, took the folder from Chen Chengfu, and handed it to Wu Nian.
The light in Wu Nian's eyes flashed away. After reaching out to take the gift list, he looked at it carefully.
Dongzhu, beauty, horse, Korean ginseng, etc. They are all precious things that cannot be used immediately.
"You might as well give me a million catties of grain, or silver." Wu Nian sneered in his heart, but as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person.
He gently closed the fold and said with a very polite attitude: "So that's how it is." As he said that, he stood up and said with emotion: "The Meng Yuan people are strong, and the front of the army is like the sun. Don't look at it."
"The Queen Mother, an orphan and a widowed mother, can only obey the wishes of the Meng Yuan people. I understand it very well."
"I have accepted the gift. I will send someone to take you to the hotel to rest. Wait until tomorrow. I will write a letter in person and ask you to take it back to Goguryeo and present it to the Queen Mother for review."
Chen Chengfu completed his task and let out a long breath. There was joy between his brows, and he bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, General, for your magnanimity."
Wu Nian smiled and nodded, then called an official in and sent Chen Chengfu down to rest.
"Zhixing. What do you think?" Wu Nian put the gift list on the coffee table like rubbish and raised his head to ask Liu Zhixing.
"The Queen Mother is capable of stabilizing the situation in the court. Goguryeo has nearly 200,000 soldiers, and it is also quite powerful."
"But she is a woman after all, and her strength is much weaker than that of the Meng Yuan people. She listened to the Meng Yuan people before and blocked food exports to us. Now she feels that the general is strong and sharp. She also sent someone to sincerely apologize. She is a loser and has fallen on both sides. .This is normal."
After Liu Zhixing pondered for a while, he raised his head and said.
"Yes. Goguryeo has strength, but it does not have absolute strength. Small countries have flexible diplomacy, which is also the way to survive."
Wu Nian's thoughts coincided with Liu Zhixing's, and he nodded.
But he did not intend to forgive the Queen Mother. The drought blocked food supplies, but nearly a million people in Liaodong starved to death.
But she was very knowledgeable and saved a lot of trouble.
Leave it alone for now.
Let’s talk about it after we recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.
Thinking of this, Wu Nian's face showed a serious look, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhixing. I had a few words with Long Qie just now."
"He said we could sharpen our swords now."
"what do you think?"
