Chapter 865: Sima Yi Sends Envoy
When Cao Cao came to the Qianqing Palace, Xue Yuanshan was already waiting.
"Yuanshan, what's the emergency?" Cao Cao asked.
Xue Yuanshan saluted Cao Cao, and then presented the summons he had just received.
Cao Cao opened it and frowned slightly, raised his head and asked uncertainly: "This seems to be a secret word!" ”
Xue Yuanshan replied: "Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed a secret word!" ”
Cao Cao put the book on the desk and said to Xue Yuanshan: "Tell me, what is it talking about." ”
Xue Yuanshan immediately replied: "The first half of this biography is not a secret word, it is about what they encountered. ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but frown, and understood.
"The second half of this biography is the secret word! It means that the Roman Emperor wants to negotiate with His Majesty with all our caravans! ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then thought of the problem of Jin Guo, couldn't help but understand, thought for a while, and summoned a royal forest soldier to say: "Go to the cabinet office immediately and invite all the cabinet ministers to me!" ”
The Guards answered and retreated.
"That's the way it is, what do you guys think?" Cao Cao glanced at the six people standing under His Highness and asked.
The six of them exchanged opinions in a low voice, and then Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Roman Emperor's purpose in doing this is obvious, that is, to unite with my Great Wei to fight against the Jin State!" ”
Cao Cao nodded, "I think so too!" I can't imagine that the Kingdom of Jin poses a great threat to the Roman Empire! ”
"Your Majesty, according to the analysis of the current situation, the minister thinks that the people of the Jin Kingdom can't wait to reconcile with me, and the fundamental reason is that they want to do it in the west!" Jia Xu analyzed.
Cao Cao nodded, "Not bad!" Only this explanation is the most plausible! ”
Cao Cao raised his head and glanced at the six people, and asked with a smile, "Should we help the Roman Empire a little?" ”
Six full of bad water. Oh, no, it was the six strategists who were as wise as the sea and smiled wisely, especially Guo Jia, that obscene, oh. No, it was the chic smile that made Cao Cao can't stand it anymore and arched his hand together: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”
Cao Cao decided to use the opportunity to make contact with Rome, but he had a hard time choosing one.
According to common sense, Li Jian is indeed the most suitable candidate, but if he is the envoy, his true identity will inevitably be exposed, which will be unfavorable in the long run.
In the end, Cao Cao, at Jia Xu's suggestion, decided to temporarily appoint Dong Wenbo, the eldest son of the Dong family, who was originally one of the most prestigious families in Chang'an, as his envoy this time. However, they have already abandoned the tradition of the family and turned to enter the business world in an all-round way, and now the Dong family is one of the few big businessmen in the Great Wei Empire, and the reason why they can achieve today's results is inseparable from the efforts and shrewdness of the eldest son Dong Wenbo. At present, this chief justice is leading a huge caravan to expand business in the city of Rome, and he has to admit that Dong Wenbo's business vision is beyond the reach of others.
Cao Cao said to Chen Gongpan: "Gongtai, you immediately go to Dong's house to coordinate this matter!" ”
Chen Gong agreed.
A few days later, Dong Wenbo, who was a merchant in Rome, suddenly received a handwritten letter from his father, and after reading its contents. I couldn't help but be surprised.
In fact, what Cao Cao asked them to do was not very complicated, that is, to make a little contact with the Roman emperor on behalf of Great Wei. There is no specific matter involved.
On the same day, Li Jian suddenly came to the inn where Dong Wenbo was staying.
When Li Jian explained his intention and revealed his identity, Dong Wenbo couldn't help but be taken aback, Li Jian had to come to see Dong Wenbo, because Li Jian had to explain some details.
Early the next morning, Dong Wenbo took two entourages and Li Jian to the outside of the Roman Palace. After Dong Wenbo revealed his identity, the Roman officers at the palace gate hurriedly sent someone to report to the emperor.
A moment later, Dong Wenbo and his party were invited in.
Caracalla received Dong Wenbo in a very formal manner in the main hall, and the two sides did not discuss any specific matters this time, but only exchanged greetings and introduced each other's general situation.
That same evening. Li Jian released a batch of carrier pigeons to Chang'an at the place where Dong Wenbo lived.
After a few days of contact, Caracalla decided to send an envoy to the Great Wei Empire in the far east, and at the same time Dong Wenbo also conveyed Cao Cao's intention that a formal envoy would leave shortly after.
This is the end of the matter.
Just when the two sides were in contact, Caracalla's army of nearly 600,000 finally began to storm Sardinia, tens of thousands of warships obscured the sea, and the mighty army of 500,000 was like a surging wave! The sheer scale is absolutely unprecedented in the entire West.
Qianqing Palace in Chang'an
Cao Cao put down the flying pigeon in his hand and said to His Royal Highness's cabinet ministers: "The matter of contacting Rome is quite smooth!" Who do you think can do that? ”
Several people exchanged opinions, and Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, Sima Dudu is the best candidate!" ”
"Sima Yi?!" Cao Cao touched his chin and pondered.
Cao Cao raised his head and decided: "Just Sima Yi!" Wen Ruo immediately gave Sima Yi an order, and at the same time ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the necessary things! ”
"Command!"
On the same day, Cao Cao also received a message from Sun Ce from Yizhou, in which Sun Ce said that the army was progressing smoothly and that several tribes had already attached their requests to receive them.
Cao Cao hugged Cai Yan's plump and soft delicate body and lay on the back chair with a look of enjoyment, Cai Yan was like a cute Persian cat and tightly understood Cao Cao, from time to time peeling a grape and feeding it into Cao Cao's mouth affectionately.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Yizhou is thousands of miles east of the sea, and there are only some barbarians who wear tree bark, and these barbarians still drink blood?" Cai Yan told everything she had heard.
Cao Cao smiled, gently patted Cai Yan's plump ****, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, who are you listening to?" Although Yizhou is a big island on the sea, it is not separated by thousands of miles, it is about two or three hundred miles! Although the customs of the people on the island are very different from ours, they are not like wild beasts as you think! ”
Cai Yan sighed, and asked puzzledly: "But after all, it is a desolate place, why does Your Majesty seem to value it very much?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and muttered, "Do you value it very much?" Maybe! ”
came back to his senses, looked at Cai Yan's curious eyes, smiled slightly, and explained: "That island is rich in products and fertile land, but it is a good place!" In addition, the establishment of a military base on this island can effectively protect the coastline of our Great Wei! ”
Cai Yan nodded, but it was obvious that she didn't quite understand.
Cao Cao smiled, hugged Cai Yan and kissed her lightly on her seductive red lips, and said with a smile: "Why does Yan'er care about these things?" ”
Cai Yan tilted his head and said coquettishly: "Can't people care about national affairs?" "Very cute and pretty.
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but hug Cai Yan and kiss him fiercely.
Cai Yan, who was close to Cao Cao, felt the majesty of Ailang, couldn't help blushing slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the queen sister will come over later!" Concubine, concubine play a tune for you! ”
Cao Cao remembered the picture of Cai Yan blowing the flute, and couldn't help but have an ambiguous picture in his mind, and hurriedly scolded himself for being ridiculous, coughed lightly, and let go of Cai Yan, who was infinitely shy.
Cai Yan took the bamboo flute from his side and glanced at Cao Cao very amorously, Cao Cao couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and secretly said goblin! It's so goblin!
Cai Yan's flute voice echoed slowly, softly, like a woman thinking about her lover telling her thoughts, I have to say that Cai Yan's kung fu is absolutely unprecedented. (To be continued.) )
