Gongsun Yan personally led a thousand cavalry to escort Jiang Hao into Youdu City.
Youdu City, this old capital that is no less than Luo Qi, the capital of the Great Martial Arts, stands proudly.
Jiang Hao, who came to Youdu City for the first time, was also shocked by the scale of Youdu City.
The Yan State, which has been standing for hundreds of years, has the same culture as the Central Plains. Even the city construction is Chinese-style. When I saw the capital of the Yan State today, I felt that it was grand and majestic.
It took three days to walk from the border to the capital of Yan State, of course! This is not marching to fight, so! The group was not in a hurry.
"General Jiang Hao, this is your first time coming to Youdu City!"
"The scenery in my capital city is pretty good. If General Jiang Hao has nothing to do, you can come and visit more!" Gongsun Yan said with a smile.
After all, Jiang Hao was a guest. Gongsun Yan introduced the scenic spots and historic sites of Yan country as he walked.
"The scenery in Youdu is indeed beautiful, but it's a pity! Compared with our current prosperous Jingping, it's still far behind!"
What Jiang Hao said is absolutely correct. Jingping, the capital of Great Qin, can be said to be the most prosperous city in the world and even in the world.
The city of Jingping alone has a population of over one million. Let me ask! That city can accommodate millions of people.
The number one capital city in the world is not something that can be boasted.
Gongsun Yan's expression changed slightly, and then returned to calm.
"That's right! It's only been a year since Jingping was established as the capital. How can it be compared to my Youdu City?"
"My Youdu City is a big city that can accommodate 600,000 people! It is rare in the world!"
"General Jiang Hao, Great Qin is great, but don't brag about it!" Gongsun Yan did not hide his words at all.
Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Alas! It seems that this year's war has limited Lord Gongsun's vision!"
"If you have a chance in the future, Lord Gongsun, go to Jingping to see what prosperity means in a prosperous age!"
After saying that, Jiang Hao stopped talking.
To be honest, during this year, Gongsun Yan put all his energy into resisting the Qin army, and he also cared about the world. Gongsun Yan was a man who boasted that he was invincible in the world. He once regarded all the talented people in the world as passing smoke and could calculate all the major events in the world carefully.
Now, he had indeed made a miscalculation.
If you don't pay attention to the world, you will be out of touch with the world.
Within a year, the Qin State established a military guard in the Western Regions. Bai Qi led an army of 100,000 to garrison in the west. This greatly opened up trade between the East and the West.
Qin's economy developed rapidly, reaching the peak of its dynasty in thousands of years. New strategies in the north and south, as well as the introduction of new food products, made the north and south develop particularly rapidly.
What is the prosperous Great Qin? This is the prosperous Great Qin!
After a while, Jiang Hao, led by Gongsun Yan, came to stay at Youdu Posthouse.
Gongsun Yan, on the other hand, led people into the palace to see the emperor.
This negotiation is scheduled to be postponed to tomorrow.
Gongsun Yan's status in the Yan Kingdom was very high. Even the general Gongsun Miao could not compare with him. He was lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people. In the entire Yan Kingdom, there was only Gongsun Yan.
When he heard that Gongsun Yan had returned from the front line, the young emperor immediately ran out to meet Gongsun Yan without even caring about eating, "Military advisor, why are you back? Could it be that something happened on the front line!"
Gongsun Yan asked Emperor Yan to welcome him back to the inner hall.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are no changes on the front line, but! Qin's 400,000-strong army has withdrawn to Youzhou." Gongsun Yan answered truthfully.
No one can underestimate the young emperor in front of him. This little emperor has a very deep city and knows how to control people, and! He is very good at governing the country and is a rare sage king in the Yan Kingdom.
"Qin's 400,000-strong army retreated to Youzhou?"
"It's strange that the Qin army withdrew so quickly. Is it because they haven't seen any progress for a long time? So they want to stop the war?" Emperor Yan guessed.
Gongsun Yan shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Dongfang Yu has long coveted the land of Liaodong, and he regards our Yan country as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. He won't let our Yan country go just like this."
"I do think that Dongfang Yu may have to be conquered personally."
You know, not long after the founding of Qin, Dongfang Yu focused all his energy on governance and internal affairs. Therefore, there is no time to take care of Yan State.
"snort!"
"Conquering the imperial chariot in person? Okay! I would like to let Dongfang Yu have a try. The flying cavalry of Yan State is very powerful."
Emperor Yan clenched his fists, and his temper immediately rose.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Dongfang Yu sent an envoy here, saying that he wants to speak to Your Majesty. I have arranged for this person to be in the post house." Gongsun Yan continued.
"messenger?"
"It seems that Dongfang Yu is really going to talk about a truce!"
"You're here, I want to see you."
"Bring this person to the morning meeting tomorrow." Emperor Yan now wanted to see what Dongfang Yu was playing.
"promise!"
Gongsun Yan responded.
"The military advisor has been tired from the journey and hasn't eaten yet! Just in time, I just asked the imperial chef to make a wild deer. It's very fragrant. Come and eat it with me!"
"Oh, thank you, Your Majesty!"
The relationship between the monarch and his minister is very harmonious.
In fact, the young Emperor Yan had always regarded Gongsun Yan as his teacher, which was why he treated him so politely.
Early the next morning.
Jiang Hao brought the envelope to the court to meet Emperor Yan.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Hao, pays homage to His Majesty Emperor Yan!"
Envoy! He was an envoy of the Kingdom of China. With just these words, Jiang Hao raised the status of Great Qin to an unknown number of times.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Hao pooped and peed on Emperor Yan’s head.
Sure enough, Emperor Yan was a little angry, but! As the king of a country, he still has the utmost tolerance.
"No gift!"
"Thank you, His Majesty Emperor Yan!"
Jiang Hao straightened his back and realized that there was no room to sit in this huge palace.
Today's morning meeting was not serious. It seemed that Emperor Yan had planned it. The ministers actually sat on the ground with mats, but his place was missing.
Isn't this an obvious way to make things difficult for him?
"hehe!"
"Our Great Qin is, after all, a kingdom of heaven, a state of etiquette! The Yan State is located in a remote corner of the country, a tiny place, and it turns out that it only raises a few barbarians who don't know etiquette!"
"Your Majesty, Emperor Yan, could it be that... when the Central Plains was separated from the Central Plains, did you forget to bring the etiquette with you? Could it be that the thoughts of the Yan State have assimilated with the barbarians like the Liao people?"
Jiang Hao's sharp mouth can be said to be unreasonable. What did he say?
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty were indignant.
Especially the two prime ministers of Yan State, Gou Zhong and Gou Wen, were the most angry.
"You are so brave. As a foreign envoy, you actually dare to speak like this to the emperor of a country. Could it be that! Didn't your Emperor Wu teach you how to speak to your superiors?" Gou Zhong scolded him directly.
Hahaha!
Jiang Hao laughed, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! What shame do you have, talking about etiquette in front of me?"
