Chapter 512 My big man likes to help the weak the most
April of the 10th year of Jian'an.
The land of China is beginning to warm up, and the Central Plains and Hebei have begun to prepare for the most important time of the year, spring plowing.
Cao Cao has assembled more than 200,000 troops in Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan. Together with the 100,000 naval divisions under Gan Ning and Su Fei, and the newly formed 50,000 Jingzhou naval divisions headed by Cai Mao brothers, he now There are a full 350,000 troops.
As soon as the spring rain ends and the weather gets better, Cao Cao will probably lead his army in person and march south to capture Jingzhou.
Lu Yan also wanted to participate in this southern expedition, but he did not plan to participate in the whole process. Instead, he wanted to help Boss Cao stabilize the overall situation before going to the island country in the east.
On this day, Lu Yan had just come down from the court meeting when he suddenly received an invitation from Cao Cao, saying that there was a group of particularly interesting people waiting for him to meet.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Lao Cao was selling in his gourd, Lu Yan readily agreed. After all, Lao Cao would only cheat him with one or two gadgets at most, and he wouldn't have any more bad intentions.
Arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuchang City, Lu Yan felt as if he had entered his own home. There were servants and maids greeting Lu Yan along the way.
"I've seen Lu Xiuqi"
"Lu Qiaoqi, you are back!"
"The master is in the reception hall, just go straight there."
Lu Yan smiled and responded one by one, making everyone sigh with emotion, "After all these years, Lu Qiaoqi is still so handsome and as gentle as jade."
Walking into the hall, Lu Yan saw a group of ragged and unkempt "beggars" at a glance.
He couldn't help but teased Cao Cao: "Mr. Cao, where did you get this group of top performers? Or are you planning to do some kind of performance art?"
Cao Cao ignored Lu Yan's teasing, but pointed to the two frontmost of the group of "beggars" and said: "Come on, you guys will introduce yourselves to me as the hussar general of the court."
"General Hussars?" Nan Shengmi had an obvious expression of shock on his face.
"It's him! He's the fairy-like figure among the Han people!" Urban Niu Li also immediately remembered the many stories about Lu Yan that the Han guards had told them.
That banished immortal who is invincible in every battle, who has countless living people, and who saves the suffering!
"He really looks like a fairy!"
Along the way, they learned a lot about the current situation of the Han Dynasty from the guards who escorted them, and they understood that although Guangling County was considered a strong city, it was far from top-notch.
We also know that the actual person in power of the Han Dynasty is no longer the emperor, but the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty named Cao Cao.
They also knew that in today's Han Dynasty, besides Cao Cao, there was another person with great prestige. That was the man in front of them who looked to be only in his twenties. He was as gentle as jade and looked more like a general than a general. Lu Yan, the hussar general of Young Master.
Nan Shengmi and Du Shi Niu Li were shocked, and then replied tremblingly: "See General Hussars! My envoy is named Nan Shengmi, and he is the envoy of the small country Yamatai."
Lu Yan listened a little casually, but when he heard the three words "Yamatai", he immediately asked in surprise: "Where did you say you are from???"
Nan Shengmi and Urban Niu Li were startled by Lu Yan's slightly fierce reaction. They didn't know why Lu Yan had such a reaction.
Being stared at by Lu Yan's deep eyes, Nan Shengmi suddenly felt that her legs were a little weak.
But when he thought of his purpose of traveling thousands of miles and going through life and death to get here, he still mustered up the courage and said: "The young Hussar General is from Yamatai!"
"Yamatai!" After receiving the confirmation, Lu Yan suddenly felt a little excited in his heart, and thought to himself: "Yesterday I was thinking about going to the island country, but today people from the island country came? Is it God's will?
"
"Hey! This guy doesn't know that we are going to get rich soon!" Lu Yan glanced at Lao Cao, whose face was full of "ignorance", and kept imagining in his heart what would happen when Lao Cao heard that they were about to own many silver mines.
That expression of excitement and gaffes was gone.
Lu Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Do you still have a country called Dog Slave Country?"
Hearing this, Nan Shengmi and Du Shiniu Li couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise, and asked with some excitement: "Exactly! You... do you know us?"
"When I led the navy to pass by Sanhan a few months ago, someone mentioned to us some things about Sanhan and your island."
Navy?
Nan Shengmi suddenly thought of the huge navy that the fishermen had seen in the rumors!
"It turns out it's him!" Nan Shengmi was extremely shocked, but he still tried his best to cover up his expression so that he didn't look too rude.
After a moment of silence, Nan Shengmi regained his composure, bowed and said in salute: "Dear Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, General Hussar, on the order of Queen Bemihu, we have come to heaven to pay homage to the Emperor of Han Dynasty. This is a letter from my queen.
, please take a look.”
After saying that, Nan Shengmi carefully took out a piece of cloth from his arms. On it were Chinese characters that were crooked and in reverse tone.
"Oh, by the way, there is also a generous gift prepared by our Queen herself. I hope the Prime Minister and the Emperor will accept it."
Four male slaves, six female slaves, one piece of white cloth measuring two feet long.
Not only Cao Cao, but even Lu Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this "rich" gift, "This is such a generous gift??? Then how poor are you guys?!"
Lao Cao came to his senses first, laughed twice, and then accepted these "rich gifts" on behalf of the emperor.
"You have come all the way from Dongzhou, you must not only be here to give gifts. Tell me, what is your purpose of coming here?" Cao Cao asked straight to the point.
When business was brought up, Nan Shengmi's face became serious. After bowing to Cao Cao and Lu Yan, he said: "Dear Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, General Hussar, I am here to ask for the help of the Han Dynasty to help me in Yamatai.
Overcome the difficulties of destroying the country!"
"Destroy the country."
"We, the Yamatai Kingdom, have always advocated peace, but the Gounu Kingdom has been pressing hard against us and attacking us non-stop. Coupled with the constant natural disasters, we are about to be unable to survive."
Cao Cao frowned. It was too late for him to deal with Liu Qi now, and Sun Quan had no time to deal with the evil horse platform?
But Lu Yan suddenly said: "I, a big man, always like to help the weak and weak. I will discuss your request with the Prime Minister and the Emperor."
Nan Shengmi couldn't believe that Lu Yan agreed just like that. Although he just said "discuss", it seemed that Lu Yan meant that there was a high probability that he would help!
With some doubts in his heart, Nan Shengmi subconsciously looked at the Prime Minister, Cao Cao, who had a higher official position.
Cao Cao has long known that Lu Yan has been coveting the island country for a long time, but to be honest, he doesn't want to devote his energy to helping Yamatai.
But Lu Yan had already initially agreed, and seeing that Nan Shengmi was coming, out of trust in Lu Yan, Cao Cao followed Lu Yan's words and said: "Since Lu Qiaoqi said that we can negotiate, then you just wait a little longer."
, let’s wait for us to negotiate a result.”
Nan Shengmi and Du Shi Niu Li were immediately overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly: "So, thank you Prime Minister, thank you General Hussar! We will wait patiently for your good news!"
