Xia Xie took a deep breath and said: "If we go to war with China now, we are afraid that we will be dead. [] Southern Xinjiang can't stand the tossing. The new policy we have implemented with great difficulty has finally produced some results. Once they go south, all our hard work will be wiped out.
It’s all in vain. I knew Han Chu, this grandson, wouldn’t let us go.”
Shaokang smiled and said: "Why, aren't they here to make trouble? Then we will let them do it. We will agree to him no matter what the conditions are. Our current national power law is against them. If you can't bear to mess up a big plan, we will tolerate him secretly staying in Chen Cang for several years. Wait.
When you become stronger, it will never be too late to fall out with them. Why are you so anxious?"
Xia Xie nodded and said: "That's good. Let's go back and discuss it with the ministers. Otherwise, those guys will give us trouble. That will be troublesome." After saying this, the two of them went to the palace with a heavy heart.
After walking for about two hours, Tianlei City was busy.
At noon, a large group of envoys came from the north. The number was about five thousand. Flags were flying, and the escorting soldiers were all Qilin beasts, dressed in black armor. The gate of Tianliu City was opened wide, and Shaokang followed
Xia Xie led Wu Qunchen and set up a meeting to greet them thirty miles away. The envoys had only a few hundred meters to go before they collectively knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
When the envoys approached, Shaokang stood up and greeted them with a formal ceremony, and then led the envoys all the way to Tianlei City. Tu Xia Xie then quietly inquired about the situation of the envoys with the fat man from yesterday. This time the envoys came to the special envoys.
His name is Wang Tianlai
, served as the official of the upper academy in China. He was highly respected. The two deputy envoys were Liu Gang and Situ An. One of them was the Minister of War and the other was the deacon of the lower academy. The general who led the army was named An Tai, who was a confidant of King Pingxi.
Love general.
Xia Xie took a special look at An Tai, who was tall and thick and arrogant wherever he went. Xia Xie wanted to rush up and slap him in the mouth. But Shaokang said that harmony is needed these days, so he tolerated it.
Wang Tianlai is about eighty years old, with white beard and hair, but he has a kind face and kind eyes. As for Liu Gang and Situ An, they are tall and tall, and their cultivation is not low. Liu Gang has a simple and honest face, which gives people a certain favorable impression, and that
manage
Tu An acted like a traitor and a dandy. Xia Xie was very good at this. But what surprised Xia Xie was that there were women in the envoy. I heard that those women belonged to Situ An.
Concubine. Make people look at you.
Wang Tianlai observed the surroundings carefully along the way. The poor people he saw on the road were in rags and had sallow complexions. When they arrived outside Tianlei City, they became even more exaggerated. The soldiers standing guard were very weak and had very low cultivation. Most of these soldiers were wearing
They were wearing animal skins, and some of them were holding wooden sticks in their hands. Wang Tianlai was puzzled. They all said that Shaokang's soldiers and horses were strong, so why were they in such a dilapidated state?
Shaokang sighed and said: "We suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Holy Light Kingdom. Most of the elites were killed, and countless slaves were killed and injured. Our life is miserable. Special Envoy, please come inside."
Although China did not participate in the direct battle, they had heard a lot about the battle with the Holy Light Kingdom. They knew everything about how tragic the situation was. How could it be said that the Holy Light Kingdom sent millions of troops to slaughter millions of slaves?
It is not an easy task. Wang Tianlai smiled and said: "King Nanding is loyal and devoted to serving the country. We have all heard about it."
Immediately, a group of people entered Tianlei City. The streets in Tianlei City were neat and lined with buildings. However, there were only a few injured soldiers on the street, and there were groans of pain. The people walking on the street all had empty eyes, and they had no strength to walk. No.
When a few people saw them coming in, they knelt down and begged with broken bowls. They looked like they were rich and powerful. What they could see was the mess all over the ground.
Wang Tianlai felt more and more different as he walked. He heard that the gap between Tianlei City and Tianlei City was undoubtedly huge. Situ An, who was following him, whipped the common people hard with his riding crop and shouted angrily: "Get out of here.
You savages." Suddenly there were screams from all around.
Xia Xie's eyes were filled with sparks, but he still endured it when he thought of harmony. Shaokang hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way. Guards, go ahead and clear the way." At this time, a group of soldiers wearing animal skins were holding beasts.
Bones and wooden sticks began to drive away the civilians around. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance, and a sallow-looking guard staggered over and said: "Your Majesty, someone is making trouble in the east of the city."
Shaokang's face changed and he said: "Xia Xie, go and deal with it quickly." Xia Xie quickly left here on horseback. Shaokang smiled awkwardly and said: "These southern barbarians are not easy to tame, and there are people who cause trouble every day. Special Master
What a joke."
Wang Tianlai waved his hand and said: "It's okay. Every day in Nanding King is full of things. It's really hard. Everything here is very different from what we expected. Alas!" After that, he continued to walk towards the palace.
Everything here was carefully arranged in one night. The purpose was to bring them to a weak Nanxia and make those in China think that Nanxia was vulnerable. In addition, Shaokang's obedience eliminated their hatred of Nanxia.
Xia's hostility. If a fundamental threat threatens your opponent, who will take him seriously?
A group of people came to the palace. Wang Tianlai saw that the palace was magnificent, and it was completely different from the scene in the city. It made him think that Shaokang was squandering like his father, living a luxurious and lewd life every day. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the beautiful women inside.
group, which also affirmed his Dharma. Entering the Juyi Hall
As soon as he sat down, there was a sound of silk and bamboo, and a group of women in extremely scantily attired danced in the center of the hall. All kinds of delicacies were served like running water. After Shaokang drank a few glasses of wine, he became even more wanton and hugged one of them.
The dancer raised and lowered her hands, looking like a drunkard.
When Wang Tian came here, his heart was relieved. Everyone said that Shaokang was very smart and capable, but now he had gained a false reputation. He was somewhat wary of Shaokang. After a lot of revelry, Shaokang ordered people to bring up gifts for the special envoy, some jewelry.
, the jade articles were like floating clouds. The three envoys were very satisfied.
After the banquet was over, many ministers of military affairs were summoned to the palace to formally announce the edict. Wang Tianlai stood on the high platform and slowly opened the edict. Suddenly a group of people knelt down and shouted long live the mountain. Wang Tianlai read: "Nanding Wang Shaokang has contributed to the restoration of the Holy Light Yi Di."
.Thousands of boxes of witches and jade, ten thousand pieces of cloth and satin, and ten thousand mounts. Shaokang’s sister was granted the title of Princess of Nanzhao. Xia Xie was granted the title of Ping Nanjue.”
