Sun Quan sent someone to give gifts, Cao Pi was not surprised, it must be because Sun Quan damaged his vitality in the Nanjun War, and wanted to continue to make friends and restore his national strength.
Oriental puppet offender sea, never befriended here, and now even sent envoys to give gifts, I don't know what the idea is, but it makes Cao Pi confused.
When encountering something unclear, it is best to take a break and let your brain calm enough before going to the meeting. So, Cao Pi first met with the envoys of Eastern Wu, spoke very politely, accepted the gift, and sent away a few false words of friendship from generation to generation.
Subsequently, Cao Pi summoned officials and ceremoniously received the envoys of the East.
A man with a pigtail on his head, dressed in a wide coat, walked in, bowed his head, and said, "Yokohama, the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, has come to meet the Emperor of Han." ”
Cao Pi's face was displeased, this envoy obviously did not understand the situation, the Han Dynasty had long been replaced, and now it is the world of the Great Wei.
As the so-called ignorant is not to blame, Cao Pi did not delve into it, and asked coldly: "Where do you live in the land of the Japanese Kingdom?" ”
"Returning to the saint, the country was originally called Yamatai, and my queen Himihu met the king of Hanxing on the sea, and was given the name by the king of Hanxing, and changed it to the kingdom of Wa." The messenger replied.
In order to maintain the dignity of the country, the envoy tried to understate it as much as possible, but it still caused an uproar in the hall, and Cao Pi was also stunned, Yamatai was actually changed by Wang Baoyu's country, and it can be guessed from this name that Yamatai must have been beaten miserably by Wang Baoyu at that time, and he would make this humiliating decision in the case of convincing.
The ministers below all whispered, their faces were shocked, everyone later heard that after Wang Baoyu went north, in order to avoid Cao Bing along the way, he led a group of people to take a big ship from the sea, and returned to Yiling after several rounds. However, everyone never expected that Wang Baoyu would defeat Yamatai with a ship, and also changed the name of the other party's country to make such a feat.
It's also a very happy thing, and they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and the ministers are happy, showing joy, and quietly giving each other a thumbs up, praising Wang Baoyu for his good looks.
Cao Pi hurriedly coughed a few times before resuming the quiet scene.
"Queen Himiko promised to surrender her vassal and come to worship that day, but she only hated the sky and the long way to go, and she failed to make the trip for a long time, and I ask the Holy God to forgive her." The envoy of the Japanese kingdom explained respectfully and apologetically.
Cao Pi is such a brain, of course he can't push out such a good thing, so he hurriedly put on a smiling face and said: "Please make the king, you don't know, my dynasty has been changed to Great Wei today, as for the king of Hanxing, hehe, it is the vassal king given by me." ”
As soon as he heard Cao Pi say this, the ministers below inevitably despised in their hearts, this cheeky is really thick enough, Wang Baoyu's title has nothing to do with Cao Pi's dime, and besides, the two parties have just finished fighting, and they are as clear as fire and water, and they will fight when they meet.
The envoy of the Wa Kingdom couldn't figure out the situation in the clouds, and he couldn't figure out what the relationship between the King of Han and the King of Han Xing was, but now he became the King of Wei again, and they all said that the Han people had cumbersome rules, and it was so.
But the envoy is here to give gifts and be a minister, so he won't care so much, anyway, just find a leader, stand up, arch his hand and say: "Thank you, the country is willing to pay tribute to your state forever, every year." ”
Good! Cao Pi was overjoyed and overjoyed. Subsequently, the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom presented a gift list, Cao Pi took it and looked at it, and he was even more happy that his mouth could not close, and the treasures such as thousand-year-old pearls, 10,000-year-old corals, jade, and agate marked on them were rare in the world.
Picking up a big bargain in vain, Cao Pi's annoyance with Wang Baoyu subsided a lot, and then, he ordered a banquet to be set up, ceremoniously entertained the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, and at the same time gave back a batch of gifts, such as silk and porcelain The Four Treasures of the Scholar's Room, etc., are also very rare objects in the Wa Kingdom.
The two sides also signed a formal agreement, under which the Wa Kingdom was subordinate to Wei and had been friendly for generations, and they were willing to listen to the orders of the Holy Lord Cao Pi.
Cao Pi was very happy, with the support of this maritime force, it could play a big role in containing Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong and Sun Quan of Jiangdong.
In order to prevent the envoys of the Japanese State from discovering the secret of their impostor, Cao Pi personally sent a team of men and horses on the grounds of friendship and harmony, and sent the gift-giving team of the Japanese State to the seaside, and watched them leave the land by boat before returning.
Speaking of which, this matter cannot be blamed on the envoy of the Wa Kingdom, he was originally an honest and cultural person, and after being selected at various levels, he was given this mission because he was proficient in Chinese.
Among the envoys' entourage, there were also a few more diplomatic, but they were faced with the problem of language barriers, and they didn't inquire about the situation at all, taking it for granted that there was only one emperor in a country, just like their queen, so they gave the gift to Cao Pi in vain.
Cao Pibai picked up a beautiful thing, added a layer of protection, and was very happy. After all, this was all the credit of Wang Baoyu, so he temporarily gave up the plan to continue attacking him, and instead targeted Sun Quan. Obviously, just by giving gifts, it is not enough to solve the crisis of trust between Wei and Wu.
If Wang Baoyu learned that this absurd thing had happened in the middle, he would definitely have a crooked nose, and after living in Fancheng for a month, he did not see any movement from Sima Yi, so Wang Baoyu led Guan Lu and Qian Mo to return to Yiling.
The weather has warmed up, and it has been a hundred days since Wang Baoyu took over Jingzhou, Mo Qianxun finally rushed back, his face was full of excitement, his eyes were full of tears, and when he saw Wang Baoyu coming to a bear hug, he couldn't wait to take a sip on his face.
"Hehe, Chihiro, things must be going very smoothly, right?" Wang Baoyu asked with a smile.
"Just as Baoyu said!" After Mo Qianxun sat down, he drank a cup of tea, and then excitedly reported the situation of working outside.
With the strong financial support of Yiling, the four counties of Jingnan have quickly recruited 80,000 soldiers and horses, which have been placed in various places, led by Niu Jin, who is responsible for training, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses that were previously allocated have returned to Xiangyang.
According to Mo Qianxun, he passed through Nanjun and learned that 100,000 soldiers and horses had been recruited in Nanjun, almost all men of appropriate age had joined the army, and the general Fan Jinqiang was training new soldiers.
In addition, Lao Mao also recruited 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangxia, that is to say, the army under Wang Baoyu's jurisdiction is now nearly 300,000.
The scale of 300,000 troops finally reassured Wang Baoyu, with this kind of force, it was enough to deal with the provocation of any party. But it is obviously too early to rejoice, after all, the soldiers of the rest of the parties, who have experienced the war and are well-trained, will take time to truly become invincible.
"Congratulations to Baoyu, with this force, you will definitely be able to stand proud!" Mo Qianxun said in an excited tone.
"Chihiro has worked hard, let's go away, and there is no need to say thank you." Wang Baoyu looked at Mo Qianxun, who was a little emaciated, and said sincerely.
