Chapter 817 braggadocio is coming
In the tavern, a table of guests was talking about meat jokes, and two more guests walked in.
Xiangping City is the seat of Liaodong, and there are not a few merchants who come and go from the south to the north on weekdays, and occasionally enter a few new faces, which does not attract attention.
The two of them found a table and sat down, ordering a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts. The two guests, one tall and the other short.
Just as the meat joke of the guest next door was finished, one of the two new guests here, one of the tall guests said mysteriously: "Hey, have you heard? Something big has happened to us in Liaodong! ”
Another guest wondered, "What's the matter, so mysterious?" ”
Most of the guests in the tavern came out to have fun and brag, and many guests around heard the conversation between the two, something big is going to happen in Liaodong? It was a real listen, and many of the guests put down their glasses and listened.
The tall guest whispered, "I have a relative who is on an errand in the Taishou Mansion, and he told me that both the Han and Wei kingdoms have sent envoys. I almost didn't fight in Taishou Mansion today. ”
When the surrounding guests heard this, they were even more relevant, and both the Han and Wei countries sent envoys over? Why haven't you heard of such a big thing? Really?
The short guest said disbelievingly, "What? We are in a corner of Liaodong, what are the envoys sent by the Han and Wei States to do, what is there worth their plans, I don't believe it! ”
The tall guest was not happy when he heard this: "My relative is on an errand in the Taishou Mansion, can his words be false?" What's in it if I lie to you?
What's more, don't think that our Han and Wei countries in a corner of Liaodong don't care about us here, let me tell you, they all want to win us over Liaodong now! ”
The short guest touched his chin when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is evil, the Han is extremely powerful, the fierce generals are like clouds, and the strategists are like clouds, with hundreds of thousands of armor, although the Wei State is a little worse, there have been many defeats over the years, but now there are still four states, but compared with my Liaodong, it is still a behemoth."
What did the two countries do when they sent envoys to woo us in Liaodong? ”
"Hey, hey!" The tall guest took a sip of hot wine, wiped the corners of his mouth and said proudly: "You don't know I know!" ”
Before the short guest could speak, the guest next to him who had just said a meat joke urged: "Oh, don't sell it, just say it." ”
The tall guest glanced at him, then looked at the guests gathered around Sizhou and said, "I said what are you all doing here!" ”
"Oh, say it quickly, I'm in a hurry to die."
"Hurry up, we're definitely not going to spread the word."
The surrounding guests urged one after another.
A smile appeared on the corner of the tall guest's mouth, and he whispered: "This is what you said, you can't spread it, let me tell you, my relatives know a strategist of the Taishou Mansion, why did the Han and Wei come to win over us in Liaodong, it was his statement."
Last year, the Han Dynasty fought with the Wei State, and the Wei State was defeated, and the Wei State not only retreated to Hebei, but also moved the capital. Now that the two countries are in truce, the situation is once again at a stalemate.
The Yellow River is a natural danger, the Wei State uses the Yellow River to build a defense line, it is not easy for the Han to completely destroy the Wei State this time, they sent an envoy to Liaodong, it is to canonize the Taishou as the assassin of Youzhou, and let him lead the troops to attack the Wei State!
However, their envoys were not careful, and their identities were somehow revealed on the way, and when Wei learned the news, he also sent envoys over, wanting to form an alliance with Taishou and jointly resist the Han Dynasty. ”
The tall guest said this, looked at the people around him and asked, "Which country do you think Taishou will accept?" Will it accept the canonization of the Han Dynasty, or will it be in alliance with the Wei State? ”
When the surrounding guests heard this, they began to talk about it.
"Of course, I accepted the canonization of the Han, and the people are so strong, they must accept the Han."
"That's right, the Wei State is now going to die, and the war with the Han Dynasty is like a mountain of defeat, I heard a friend say that although the Wei State retreated to Hebei, but the country is very unstable, so the people who migrated from the south are rebelling every day."
"It's strange if you don't rebel, people who live well in the south want to move to the north, not to mention this homesickness, even the water and soil can't stand it."
"If I accept the canonization of the Han Dynasty and mix with the Wei State, isn't that looking for death?"
"That's it!"
The tall guests and the short guests glanced at each other, and they were all relieved, and the people's hearts were available.
The short guest suddenly said: "Since you said that the envoys of the Great Han Dynasty and the envoys of the Wei State both went to the Taishou Mansion today, and they want to win over the Taishou. Then do you know which side Taishou promised? ”
"Well, that's exactly what I'm talking about." The tall guest sighed, poured a full glass of wine, and took a sip.
Seeing this, the surrounding guests sensed that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Taishou didn't agree to the canonization of the Han Dynasty, but wanted to form an alliance with the Wei State? ”
"Our Gongsun Taishou has always been ambitious, but I am afraid that this time I want to form an alliance with the Wei State, so that I can go further and call it a lonely ......."
"How can this be done, he called the king and became the emperor, but he was comfortable but provoked the big man, when the time comes, the male soldiers will be killed, and it will not be us ordinary people who suffer."
"This situation is obviously an alliance with the Han Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty attacks Youzhou from Shuozhou, let's kill it from Liaodong, isn't it easy to destroy the Wei State? If we form an alliance with Wei and the Wei State is destroyed, will our Liaodong not suffer? ”
The tall guest sighed and said, "You are right, Lord Taishou, he promised to form an alliance with the Wei State and rejected the Great Han, and now the Great Han envoy is under house arrest by him."
I heard from my relatives that Taishou also planned to pretend to promise the Han envoys, and then let them go back, and then let the Wei State kill them, but left one alive to escape back to the Han. In order to deceive the big men and defeat them, this battle is estimated to be fought after it warms up. ”
When the people heard this, they became confused.
"Oh my God, isn't Taishou a tiger whisker?"
"How long has it been since we fought in Liaodong, how can we beat those tiger and wolf divisions of the Great Han?"
A literati muttered: "Not necessarily, we also have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liaodong, as long as we prepare properly, we may not be able to defeat the Han Dynasty." ”
The short guest sneered when he heard this: "You know a fart, do you know how strong the big man is?" Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong have heard of it? The last time Wei retreated, Zhao Zilong chased tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Wei by himself, and the killing was a river of blood, and the corpses were piled up, blocking the Yellow River.
Not to mention that in addition to Zhao Yun, there are also Ma Chao and Lin Xiao, who are famous generals in the world, Lin Yuan and Huang Xu are even more in their prime, and their courage is even worse than Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, what are we going to fight?
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Heh, people will send a fierce general to rush over, and we will be defeated in a daze. ”
