A team of cavalry came slowly and stopped in front of Qin Mi and Qianzhao.
The leading young knight turned over and dismounted, strode over, and gave Qin Mi a deep salute.
"Qin Jun comes from afar and works hard. The poem says: I favor the West. Although we wait for the crimes overseas, we never dare to forget the Central Plains. Now Qin Jun is here for the Emperor's Day, and we are like hearing the sound of Lun, and we are not feeling weeping. Yuan Shang, Runan,
, I have met Qin Jun.”
Without waiting for Qin Mi to answer, Yuan Shang turned to the trap again. "Zi Jing, why are you safe? You escort the envoy to come, so you don't inform me in advance, so I can go and greet you."
Is it okay to hold on to the move?
Yuan Shang showed his master's posture as soon as he met. Of course, if he gave them a warning, he would just escort Qin Mi here, so there was no need to compete with Yuan Shang. By the way, he would also see how Qin Mi dealt with it.
He was from Jizhou and was once a general under Yuan Shao. Although he is now a minister of Liu Bei, he cannot be too strict with the Yuan Xi brothers.
Qin Mi looked at Yuan Shang and smiled slightly. "Jun Yuan is fond of the West, is it for the court or the family?"
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Boss and country are integrated, and we both care about it."
Qin Mi nodded and said, "If it is for the sake of the court, if the son is in power today, the three ministers will govern, and the people will live and work in peace, it is also worth it. If it is for the sake of the family, although Yuan made a big mistake, the emperor was trapped, Guandong
Fortunately, the emperor was wise and did not care about past grudges, and ordered the emperor to be buried in the ancestral tomb. The virtuous brothers made contributions overseas, and the emperor's power was powerful and worthy of celebration."
The smile on Yuan Shang's face froze.
He shouldn't be so happy if he is guilty of the country, has family and mourning.
Qin Mi looked up and said, "Although this place is a barbarian state, it can be considered as beautiful as the mountains and rivers. If you work hard, you can also have enough food and clothing. I don't know why those people violated the ban on the court and secretly returned to the Central Plains. Now, they are not only themselves.
He was imprisoned and also implicated many officials. General Yuan, do you know the reason?"
Yuan Shang took a breath. "They... were arrested?"
Qin Mi smiled. "It seems that General Yuan is also an insider."
Yuan Shang didn't dare to say much, for fear that Qin Mi would catch the handle again, so he quickly changed the topic. "Thank you for your hard work in Qin, why not go to the camp first, wait for washing and greeting, and then talk in detail."
Qin Mi did not refuse, and walked side by side with Yuan Shang.
Following behind, looking at Yuan Shang who was talking to Qin Mi, he suddenly had an illusion, as if Yuan Shao was reborn, and was thirty years younger, and had just entered the official career and was ambitious.
After entering the camp, Yuan Shang pointed out for Qin Mi one by one, which tribe was this, and which tribe was it. Some were the barbarians in the nearby mountains, attracted by the majesty of China's clothes and voluntarily joined forces. Some followed them all the way from Liaodong.
After spending a few years together, I have become a loyal old subordinate.
Yuan Shang said with great enthusiasm, Qin Mi listened very seriously, and asked some questions in between.
Yuan Shang answered one by one, very generous, with a demeanor that he knew everything and spoke in all his words.
On a rough basis, there were more than a dozen tribes in the valley, with a total force of nearly 60,000. It is said that they gathered here to build ships and prepare for crossing the sea to fight.
In order to prove that what he said was true, Yuan Shang specially led Qin Mi to take a walk and check out the ship being built...
Qin Mi, who was used to the sea boats, was a little surprised when she saw those small boats.
"A ship that is so small can cross the sea to fight?"
Yuan Shang laughed. "Qin Jun doesn't know that there is a current in the narrow sea from south to north, and the water flows are stable. Our warships first sail south, and then follow the sea to north, and you can reach the opposite Japanese archipelago.
The timing is chosen properly. Not to mention such a warship, even a canoe can still land smoothly."
Qin Mi is skeptical. "Who is the forward general?"
"Zhang He, a famous general in Jizhou."
Qin Mi nodded and said nothing.
Along the way, he heard people talk about Zhang He's name many times and knew that this was a famous general with both wisdom and courage. He said that he could pass by it, and it was probably not a big statement to deceive others, and it should be quite feasible.
After following Yuan Shang to the camp, Yuan Xi was already waiting, and some Confucian scholars were there.
According to the prescribed ceremony, the two of them sat down separately when they saw the ceremony.
Qin Mi made it straight to the point and explained his purpose.
Yuan Mai and his son have been arrested, and none of the related people have escaped. This time, they came to Zhongshan to see who else was involved in the case, what reasons are they? Is it the personal behavior of some people?
Organized actions.
Yuan Xi didn't say anything, and a middle-aged Confucian scholar stood up.
"I dare to ask the envoy, Yuan Mai and his son have been pardoned before and are no longer sinners. Because they miss their hometown, they return to the Central Plains. What's wrong with returning to the Central Plains?"
Qin Mi glanced at him. "Report your name and official position."
The middle-aged Confucian scholar was stunned and then his face turned cold. "Le'an Guoyuan, whose courtesy name was Zini, studied under Zheng Kangcheng of Beihai, and avoided disasters to Liaodong. Now General Yuan is engaged in it."
"I only ask you for your name and position, but I didn't ask you for your master's degree, so there is no need to report Zheng Kangcheng's name." Qin Mi said lightly: "Since you are Zheng Kangcheng's disciple, can you know Cui Jigui of Qinghe?"
Guoyuan sneered. "Of course I know, but I don't plan to do it. I haven't contacted him for a long time."
Qin Mi smiled. "You are indeed not fellow men. Cui Jigui joins the army and devotes himself to practicing military tactics. Although you are in the military, you still regard yourself as a Confucian scholar. I am very curious. If Cui Jigui is ordered to attack and fight against General Yuan in the future, you will
Who wins and who loses?”
Yuan Xi's eyes shrank slightly, and his hand holding the wine glass shook, and the wine in the glass almost spilled out.
Yuan Shang's face remained unchanged, and he even felt a little disdainful.
Guoyuan sneered again. "Is the messenger threatening us? We were ordered to conquer overseas and did not commit any rebellion. How could we say that we would fight against Cui Jigui?"
"So you still know how to obey the imperial edict." Qin Mi put away his smile and said coldly: "Although Yuan Mai and his son were pardoned, the imperial edict clearly stated that they could not return to the Central Plains. Why did you forget the fact that their actions violated the imperial edict?"
Before Guoyuan could speak, Qin Mi stood up and gently paused the talisman in her hand.
"The emperor's duty is here. You should report it truthfully. Do you commit it without knowing it, speak nonsense, or do you knowingly commit it, and despise the imperial edict."
Although Guoyuan was full of resentment, he suddenly felt short of breath when he saw the Jie in Qin Mi's hand and subconsciously glanced at Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi's face turned pale, without saying a word, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
After a while, Yuan Shang coughed, got up and left the table, came to Qin Mi, smiling, and reached out to pat Qin Mi's arm. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Mi raised his hand and interrupted him.
"In the face of Emperor's Day, please respect yourself and do not interrupt my question."
The smile on Yuan Shang's face froze, his cheeks twitched twice, and he glared at Qin Mi.
Qin Mi's face did not change her expression, facing Yuan Shang's gaze, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. "General Yuan is fond of the West. I believe he knows that Yizhou has been pacified. The Han navy equipped with new warships can fight across the sea at any time to fight against General Sun Ce.
It's time to wait for the battle. As for whether to help General Yuan fight in the east or to attack the unjust officials, it depends on how General Yuan chooses."
Yuan Shang took a breath of air conditioning, dared not say a word, bowed and retreated aside.
They had fought side by side with Sun Ce, so they naturally knew how fierce the navy led by Sun Ce was, and they were definitely not afforded by them.
Qin Mi looked at Guoyuan again and shouted sternly: "Entertain Guoyuan, answer my question!"
