Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 349
When Aguda said this, all eyes were on Cao Cao and his party.

Cao Cao wanted to answer himself, so he thought for a while: After all, Ma Zheng is the official envoy for this mission, so why should he do it for him in this situation?
He stepped aside and looked at Ma Zheng with a smile.

Ma Zhengchang took a breath and stepped forward. The manuscript had already been typed thousands of times. Although he was extremely nervous at the moment, he was able to understand it very well.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, the foreign minister is the training envoy of the Dengzhou Regiment of the Great Song Dynasty and Ma Zheng, the doctor of Wuyi. Now, by the order of my lord, I come to your court with fine wine, gold and jade, and armored swords as gifts. This matter is designed to continue the friendship between your two dynasties. In the second year of Emperor Taizu's Jianlong reign, your court's envoys often came across the sea to trade good horses. I am deeply grateful, which shows that your two dynasties, The deep friendship was established early, but because of the Khitan's great power, it blocked the sea route, so it was difficult to communicate with each other for many years, which is a pity."

Although this Ma Zheng has performed poorly along the way, he can be regarded as a capable official in the court of the Song Dynasty. At least he has never messed with the order of "gifting gifts, reminiscing about the past, proclaiming, and forming alliances" set by Tong Guan. Wrong, first talk about gifts in an orderly manner, and then talk about old feelings.

The Jurchen generals were bewildered when they heard this, and many of them whispered: "Have we ever done business with the Southern Kingdom? Why don't I know?"

A Guda heard it from the throne, felt ashamed, coughed, and said loudly: "Doctor Ma is right. In the early years, the ancestors were short of iron, so they took the risk to sell horses in the southern country by boat, and then bought iron and other things to transport back. The government will see me there. Waiting for the ancestors to come is not easy, treat each other very kindly, do not allow profiteers and rogues to deceive each other, you can ask the elders in the clan about this, maybe some of them will know about it."

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads and looked at Ma Zheng much more kindly.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Treasures of gold and jade, we are waiting for you. If you lack any, ask the Khitan people to get them. Your emperor sent you the armored sword. You should bring it to me to see if it is good or not. If it is true Alright, it’s not too late to hear from you about the past. If there are some inferior goods, hehe, it’s because the emperor of the Yi family deliberately deceived each other.”

A Gu laughed and scolded: "Nianhan, you are so impatient that Dr. Ma saw us, thinking that we are all ignorant savages."

Ma Zheng slandered: Could it be?There were smiles all over his face, and he said repeatedly: "Your Majesty's words made the foreign ministers terrified and terrified! This general is straightforward, which shows that he is open-minded, and he is just a man of temperament! It depends on the gift. Why not? Commander Hu Yan Hurry up and take the armored sword bestowed by the emperor."

Hu Yanqing nodded, and led some people out of the hall. After a while, ten wooden boxes were brought in, and he took out the key from his arms, waiting to be unlocked.

The man named Nianhan is a big man in his forties, with big shoulders and a round waist. The weather is still cold at this time, but he is only wearing a leather jacket, showing round and fat arms, which are as thick as ordinary people's thighs. The valor of man.

The fat fellow jumped up, skipped over the table, strode forward, flicked lightly, Hu Yanqing staggered and fell back, Nianhan smiled nonchalantly, twisted the lock with his bare hands, opened the wooden box, and the contents inside were But it is a pair of armor and a knife.

Nianhan took out the armor, but felt tough and heavy, all the Jurchens hurriedly probed to see that the armor was made of high-quality leather, lined with silk cotton, and covered with plates made of refined steel, densely woven into fish scales Armor, shaking lightly, the brilliance was dazzling, and everyone shouted: "Good armour!"

Nianhan nodded repeatedly, played with it for a while, then threw the armor to someone else, bent down and took out the knife again, when he pulled it out, he saw a bright blue light.

His big copper bell-like eyeballs turned around, strode to the gate of the hall, pulled out the guard's saber, held it in his hand, and slashed vigorously. There was no trace of damage on the edge of the knife, and he couldn't help but praise: "It really is a precious knife!"

Aguda's guards were well-equipped, but they were cut in two by the knife. The Jurchen generals exclaimed and rushed to Nianhan, asking for the knife to take a closer look.

Nianhan stared, put the knife back into the sheath, and hung it on his waist, and ran to A Guda's seat with small steps, bowed his hips and showed a flattering face: "Your Majesty, this knife will be given to the young general Ke it is good?"

An old Jurchen man next to him slapped the table in front of him heavily, and scolded: "Nianhan, you have no dignity, your majesty has not agreed, how dare you put away the knife?"

A Guda waved his hands and smiled: "Guo Xiang, you don't know Nianhan's temper? What are you fussing about with him? Nianhan, it's okay to give you this knife, but you can't be so rude in the future and make your father angry."

Nian Han happily said: "Thank you Your Majesty, I will not make that old man angry in the future."

The prime minister of the country was furious, and wanted to get up, but was pulled away by the people around him, trying to persuade him with good words.

A Guda looked at Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing, and said kindly: "Don't worry about it, this Nianhan, he doesn't see good things in his eyes. You are envoys from a big country, so don't laugh at us country people."

Ma Zheng hurriedly said, "The ministers dare not."

Xu Guanzhong whispered in Cao Cao's ear that the father of Nianhan was Wanyan Sagai, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin.

Aguda's grandfather, Wu Gunai, had nine sons. The eldest son, Huanzhe, and the second son, Libo. Therefore, after Keribo's death, his sons Uyasu and Aguda successively succeeded to the throne, and Wanyan Sagai, the son of the impeacher, became the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin.

In addition to the subordinates of Zhu Meng'an and Mouke, the army of the Kingdom of Jin has two main forces, one is the prince's army, which is personally led by A Guda, and the other is the Guoxiang army led by Wanyan Sagai.

If Zacchaeus dies in the future, Nianhan will be the Prime Minister of the country, which can be regarded as maintaining the tradition of impeachers and Keribo brothers advocating housework and foreign affairs respectively.

At this time, the other nine boxes were also opened one by one, and what was contained in them was a pair of armor and a knife, all of which were rare treasures, and the generals were envious and competed with each other.

A Guda didn't look happy, he frowned slightly, and thought to himself in surprise: Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were as good as this!
Seeing the generals quarreling, he stopped them and said: "Although the baby is good, it is not enough for you to share. Let me keep it. If anyone makes great achievements in the future, he will get it in exchange for his merits." A collects all the money into the treasury.

Then everyone gave up, but they all envied Nianhan who was the first to strike first. Nianhan returned to his seat, showed off the knife, and boasted proudly: "In the past, it was said that the Song Dynasty was rich, so it can be seen that it is true. Otherwise, how could such a good weapon be made?" ? These sword armors are better than those of the Khitan people."

Cao Cao nodded secretly, Tong Guan really racked his brains for this mission, gifting these armors, one is for the Jurchen's liking, and the other is taking the opportunity to show off his bravery, so that the Jurchens think that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are sharp. Dare to underestimate.

After all, Tong Guan has been preparing for this matter for a long time. When he didn't know Cao Cao before, his subordinates didn't have any heroes who could calm the Jurchen, so he had to make plans on gifts.

A Gu opened his mouth and said: "Doctor Ma, go ahead and tell me, the king of the Song Dynasty, what else do you want to bring?"

Ma Zheng quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the lord was very happy to hear that your dynasty had captured more than fifty Khitan cities, so he sent us across the sea to find the way, just to restore the old friendship with your dynasty. Thinking about Khitan, I will Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne, acting perversely, which provoked anger and resentment from the heavens and the people. This dynasty is sympathetic to the sufferings of the people in his country, and is about to carry out the deforestation! Now that your dynasty is in great prosperity, my lord is willing to join His Majesty in conquering Daliao. If Your Majesty wishes, please wait The foreign ministers reported back to the lord that soon an envoy from the state will come with a letter from the state to discuss the matter of forming an alliance."

After A Gu inquired, he was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was expressionless, and he just said lightly: "I already know the intention of the king of your dynasty, but although the two dynasties have old friendship, after all, they have not heard from each other for a hundred years, and they suddenly said that they want to form an alliance. Consider it carefully and discuss it with the ministers."

The Prime Minister Wanyan Sagai got up and said with a smile: "What my emperor said is right, such a big matter needs to be discussed in detail. It is not easy for your envoy to come so far, so let's drink and have fun, wait for our court to discuss it, and then discuss it with each other. Late."

Ma Zheng said again and again: "It deserves it, it deserves it."

At the moment when they sat down to drink, some Jurchen generals asked about the battle in Yizhou during the banquet. Wan Yanlou got up and explained the whole story in detail, and praised Cao Cao and others for their achievements. The Jurchen generals were all surprised and said: The report of Shi Jie came, and it was said that the Song envoy made meritorious deeds, and it was said that Lou Shi deliberately gave the merit to the distant guests for the sake of looking good. Now, is it true? But I have always heard that the combat power of the Song Dynasty is not as good as that of Khitan. , how can there be such a hero?"

Wu Shu, who was reprimanded by A Guda outside the city, was A Guda's fourth son, Wanyan Zongbi, who suddenly got up and said with a cold face: "Since Uncle Lou Shi's battle reports are all true, I would like to ask clearly—surname Wu, brother Tudan Ding was under your command at the time, and he was shot to death by the Liao army, isn't it because of your ineffective command?"

It was only then that Cao Cao understood how this man looked hostile when he first saw him, but he wanted to stand up for Brother Dan Ding.

Immediately got up, frowned and said: "General Lou Shi has just explained the situation at that time. There are more than a thousand people in my department and more than people in Xiao Qian. They are fighting together. Everyone is fighting for the first, even myself. Among them, General Ding was shot by the enemy general's sniper arrow and died young, and I was also sad about it... But the sword has no eyes, since we are in battle, who dares to boast of being perfect?"

Wu Shu's eyes were red, and he sneered again and again: "To put it lightly, Brother Ding fought countless battles, but he died while you were commanding him. How could you gently remove yourself from the relationship?"

Seeing this boy messing around, Cao Cao was secretly angry, and he lowered his face and said with a sneer, "I don't know the rules of the Great Jin Kingdom. It turns out that if your country fights and suffers casualties, should the general be held accountable?"

Lou Shi also got up, and said unhappily: "Mr. Wu Shu, I ordered Wu Jiedu to command this battle. You said that, Brother Ding is dying, but I, Lou Shi, should take full responsibility." .”

Wushu was still waiting to talk, Aguda patted the table lightly, and shouted: "Wushu, shut up! I know you and Brother Ding are on good terms, but as Wu Jiedu said, a knife has no eyes, who can guarantee everything? He fought this battle very well, and you shouldn't blame him."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Cao and said with a slight smile: "Wu Jiedu, although Wushu is complete, he has never actually fought in battle. What he said is ridiculous, and it is really a big loss of dignity. You fight for my Dajin, He is a good friend of the Dajin Kingdom, please forgive this kid for his ignorance. As a father, I will apologize to you on his behalf, and I will punish him severely."

Speaking of picking up the wine, Cao Cao quickly picked up the wine glass, drank it down, and said with a smile: "Wu dare not! The words of Mr. Wushu, but I feel sorry for my friend. We are all here when we are young, men are bloody, how can we not?" Experience? I also ask Your Majesty to save you from punishment."

A Guda nodded, stepped down from the stage, stared at Wushu, and said in a cold voice: "It's all right for you to mess around, but today the foreign envoys are here, and you dare to be so reckless. Not only did you lose the face of my Wanyan family, but also Damaged the prestige of the Great Jin Kingdom! Fortunately, Wu Jiedu is magnanimous, and I don't care about you, I will only punish you..."

Before saying how to punish Wushu, suddenly a delicate figure rushed out from the apse like a gust of wind, knelt down in front of A Guda, and cried loudly: "Father, don't punish Brother Sihuang, he just took pity on me for doing it." I, I would like to apologize to the envoy on his behalf because he was so angry that he lost his composure and offended the envoy.

Wu Shu stared, stomped his feet and said, "Wu Lu, who told you to come out? Go back, my father punished me, I'll take it for my brother, why should you bow your head to outsiders."

A Guda raised his head and smiled, his laughter was cold, he looked at everyone and said: "Look, I am a father, I am busy in the war, and I can't teach my children well, so that I am so embarrassing! Come, drag me out of Wushu , put in a dungeon, and wait for me to be punished!"

A few guards rushed in like wolves at the door, picked up Wushu and walked out, the woman named Wu Lu cried even louder, and suddenly stretched out her hand to grab the guards, not allowing them to take Wushu away.

You must know that the Jurchens are originally barbarians, and their rules are far less strict than those of the Han people. Noisy and noisy are commonplace.It happened that A Guda gave birth to a bunch of sons, and now he got a daughter, who was loved like a treasure since childhood, and was extremely doted on. If it was normal, Wu Lu would make more trouble, but he would just laugh it off.

It's just that the envoy of Song Dynasty was in the hall at this time, and in A Guda's heart, the Song Dynasty was a country of etiquette, so he felt a little ashamed of himself, and wanted to put on the airs of the great emperor.

However, at this moment, his sons and daughters made a scene one after another, which made him lose face. His thin face was so cold that it could scrape off two ounces of frost, and his anger was uncontrollable. !you……"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, he suddenly saw a tall figure standing up from among the envoy Song: "Ah, your majesty, please don't punish this girl. She made thousands of mistakes, and they are all my Zhou Tong's fault. If you want to vent your anger, I, Zhou Tong, will take it for her, and if you call me thousands of times, the one who snorts is not a good man!"

As I said before, on the road for a few months, everyone has more or less learned some Jurchen words, among which "more or less" is Zhou Tong - this fellow bragged with Lou Shi's generals when he had nothing to do, Most of those Jurchen generals were simple and straightforward, and they were taken aback by him, so Zhou Tong was very happy to make friends with them. Jurchen's spoken language was earlier than the eighth level, so the speech was extremely fluent.

Zhou Tong stepped forward suddenly, but everyone was surprised. Cao Cao was taken aback: "Brother, what kind of trick are you trying to do?"

He clasped his fists at A Gu quickly and said: "Your Majesty, my brother is a rude man. He drank too much wine today and rebelled and offended. I hope His Majesty will forgive and atone for his sins. I will teach him a lesson."

What he said was very similar to what A Guda had said for Wushu before. A Guda rolled his eyes and thought to himself: My Kingdom of Jin has not been established for a long time, and it is only natural that we have incomplete etiquette. The behavior of etiquette is three points more embarrassing than my children. In this way, if everyone draws, you will lose face, and I will lose face, and no one will lose face!
There are different teachings: Wushu stood up to fight against injustice, and Zhou Tong showed his original shape in public.Just because the first meeting is hard to forget, and life and death are light at the risk of life.
