"Master Shi, we are a family!"

Kong Hongmao looked sincere and said seriously: "Dakang has just experienced a change. This is a well-known thing. It is normal that the national strength has not been restored yet, but I believe that it will be restored soon under the governance of His Majesty Yuanwu. The people will live and work in peace and contentment and the people will be prosperous."

It’s not far.”

This person talks one thing after another, and his art of flattery is also very good. If you are an ordinary person, you will really be flattered by him.

He added another sentence and said, "It's surprising that you can reorganize and mobilize the army so quickly."

This is not flattery, but a true expression.

It was also something that shocked their entire mission.

Nominally they came to congratulate the new Emperor Dakang on his enthronement, but in reality they came to gather information. To be precise, they came to assess the conditions for starting a war.

Originally this step was not needed.

The Liang State was once attracted by Longjing Emperor Xiao Chengdao and sent an army of 200,000 with Yang Qizheng as commander.

This is an army composed entirely of elites.

Among them were Liang Wujun, including large-scale light cavalry and heavy cavalry with large-scale killing weapons.

In fact, after the last alliance of Wei and Liang invaded Dakang and failed, Liang Guo had already regarded Guan Ning as a serious problem.

This child will definitely become a threat to Liang in the future.

This is also true.

Later, when the Dakang Civil War broke out, Emperor Longjing wanted to introduce troops. Emperor Wu of Liang agreed in time, thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We can take this opportunity to get rid of the big hidden danger of Guanning. After the civil war, Dakang's national power will inevitably decline greatly. We will use the garrison of the army as an internal response, and at the same time send troops to attack Dakang...

Simply perfect!

The result was a reversal. The 200,000-strong army was destroyed. It is said that they were all killed in an extremely cruel way. Guan Ning successfully rebelled and won the throne.

If only an ordinary army of 200,000 were destroyed, Liang Guo could afford this loss. The key is that they are all elite soldiers, such as heavy cavalry, so if one dies, one will be lost...

The news spread back to Liang State, causing the court to tremble and the whole country to be shocked!

Emperor Wu of Liang was furious when he heard about the tragic death of the army.

The courtiers all reported that they would immediately send troops to Dakang. At the same time, they also took advantage of the weakening of Dakang's national power to avenge this great enemy.

In the end, Emperor Wu of Liang still suppressed his anger rationally.

Dakang has already stabilized, and a rash attack would probably give Wei an opportunity and be of no benefit to them.

The key is that after the last war, Wei State was also quite dissatisfied with Liang State.

Countries are so complex.

No matter what, we have to win over the Wei State. Either we don't fight, or we fight, it will be a war to destroy the country.

However, there were twists and turns in the alliance with the Wei State. The Wei State was not as decisive as the first time, and immediately decided to explore the true situation of Dakang in detail before making a decision.

Soon, it was discovered that Dakang had sent troops. A total of 500,000 troops were stationed on the border. The troops and horses were strong and there was no sign of decadence.

They also sent scouts to investigate and found that Dakang's army had sufficient food and grass, and meat every meal. The smell of meat could be smelled by the scouts.

This made Liang Guo a little confused.

Is it possible to recover so quickly?

They don't know that these are just pretense, just for them to see.

In short, Liang Guo calmed down a bit.

You can hit, but you can't hit casually.

They couldn't stand the failure again and again.

They were a little confused about the situation.

In the end, when the two countries come together, it is better to send a mission to see what is going on openly and honestly.

It’s not a short amount of time anyway.

The restoration of prosperity cannot be achieved in such a short period of time.

So here we come.

So they are not congratulations at all, but have a special purpose.

In fact, in their hearts, they hate Dakang to the extreme!

As long as it is found that Dakang is not good, it will immediately attack. Now it is all a hypocritical performance...

Thinking like this, Kong Hongmao smiled even more.

He asked again: "Can you go outside and take a look at the local customs of Dakang?"

"Can."

Shi Wenzhong said: "Our first priority is to meet all your requirements. Those who come are just guests."

Isn't it just a cliche, as if no one knows how to say it.

Act.

Let's see whose acting skills are better.

Both sides expressed this sentiment.

Guan Ning had already made specific arrangements, so Shi Wenzhong knew...

"I wonder where you want to go?"

"Just over there."

Kong Hongmao pointed in a direction.

From a distance, it looked like a field, but actually he wanted to see how the crops in the field were growing.

Logically speaking, it was damaged during the civil war and should not have recovered so quickly.

"Let's go."

Shi Wenzhong called to Xuancheng County Magistrate, and everyone walked over.

Just got a little closer.

I saw a green patch of green and a large area of ​​grain fields growing gratifyingly, and I knew there would definitely be a good harvest.

"this……"

Kong Hongmao and other Liang envoys looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Will production resume so quickly?

There are also canals in this field for irrigation, which can be said to be quite good.

If the crops are growing well, there will be a good harvest, and if there is war, there will be food. Through these, we can see a lot, for example, the current Dakang has returned to stability and is on the verge of prosperity.

Little did he know that the route they were going to take had been arranged in advance.

Longzhou is a place that Guan Ning has already controlled. It is a land rich in food, and it was not greatly damaged during the civil war.

After turning around, he saw no sign of ruin, and Kong Hongmao's expression became solemn.

"Go back."

A group of people returned to the county town.

Although this county is small, it has a lot of people.

There are vendors selling goods on the streets, and the people are all smiling and dressed neatly, without even a hole in their clothes.

By the way, there's not even a beggar.

"Now that I'm here, I should really experience the local customs and customs. I want to visit my fellow villagers' homes."

Kong Hongmao made another request.

"Okay, you can go to this place."

Shi Wenzhong did not refuse and led him to an ordinary home.

As soon as we entered the courtyard, we smelled the aroma of meat.

It was dinner time and the family was having a meal.

Kong Hongmao was shocked again.

This meal is not a rich meal, but for ordinary people, it is quite good.

Shi Wenzhong said: "Dakang is so poor that the people have no food to eat and can only eat meat..."

Everyone was speechless.

Are you talking in human language?

Kong Hongmao didn't believe it, so he found reasons to go to several more places and found that the situation was similar.
To be continued...
