Chapter 720 Pingzhou Enters
Xianbei Royal Court
Today is September 26th, Tuoba Khan estimated the time and planned to set off.
The current location of their Xianbei Royal Court is not far from Hancheng. If they set off three or five days in advance, it would be enough to go there slowly.
At this time, Tuoba Jin found Tuoba Khan, "Father Khan, we can't go like this."
Tuoba Khan looked at his second son, why can't we go like this? Why can't we go like this?
"I received news that because the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the governor of Pingzhou will attend the three-party peace talks, they are putting on a big show. If we go like this, it will be a bit too shabby."
Tuoba Khan frowned. He led a team of brave and combative cavalry to negotiate. It's shabby, so who dares to look down on him?
Tuoba Jin said, "Father Khan, I believe in you. We don't know the Han people well enough, but the Han people have a saying, which is to respect the clothes first and then the person, and to respect the skin first and then the soul."
"Pingzhou's strength is not weak, and the show must be great. In order to crush Pingzhou in momentum, Dali will definitely put on a grand show. We Xianbei must not be too different from Dali and Pingzhou in show. Otherwise, it will be difficult to negotiate, and it will be disadvantageous to us Xianbei." These are all the Han retainers under Tuoba Jin's command who reminded him and analyzed them one by one for him.
When the members of the Xianbei royal court heard it, they all supported Tuoba Jin.
"Khan, what the second prince said is not unreasonable. Isn't there a saying among the Han people that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles?"
The Xianbei lacked supplies, and it was nothing to lose to Dali and Pingzhou, but if the gap was too big, it would be too embarrassing.
"Yes, we must not let this little thing affect the interests of our Xianbei."
Tuoba Khan looked at Tuoba Jin, "Second brother, how about letting you handle this? We must not let our Xianbei royal court lose its momentum."
Tuoba Jin said happily, "Your son obeys your order!"
After receiving the task, he went to do it himself.
Tuoba Lian thought about it, followed him out, and reminded him, "Second brother, who taught you those words just now? Is it your Han retainer?"
Tuoba Jin did not answer but asked, "Seventh brother, is there something wrong?"
Tuoba Lian understood that he did not want to talk to him more, but he still had to say something, "Second brother, the Khan is as cunning as a fox and cannot be trusted."
Tuoba Jin laughed, "Seventh brother, you worry too much."
Tuoba Jin just felt that the seventh brother was jealous of him. Cao Huating was so useful... and he made money by relying on himself.
Two days later, Tuoba Khan and other members of the royal court got on the luxurious carriages equipped for them.
After sitting on the boat, they nodded with satisfaction. This fancy stuff was quite interesting.
Cao Huating accepted a large amount of wool from Tuoba Jin.
He thought to himself that this deal was not bad. If the wool was processed, it might be able to make back the governor's expenses for this trip?
...
Lu Songli and his party landed at the Leling County Pier by boat, and then took the shortest route to enter the Hedong area.
After entering the Hedong area, the heads of the three major families in Hedong came to greet them in person.
Qin Sheng took a glance and found that the heads of the three major families brought all handsome men, some of whom were handsome, some were heroic, and some were even outstanding in temperament...
Qin Sheng: ... No, what do these Hedong families want to do?
The officials who followed him took a breath of cold air first.
My God, these outstanding unmarried children of the three major families have all come out of the cave, right? It's really bold.
What's even more outrageous is that the guy on the edge, although his appearance overshadows all the elder brothers, is he a little young? He looks only twelve years old.
The heads of the three major families are very satisfied with the results presented.
Those who can follow the governor are all young talents, and they are still worth seeing.
As for them, they let their children come out for a stroll with the idea that it doesn't matter if there are no fish or shrimp.
If Pingzhou wins the final victory, then the people around the governor will be the new nobles of the new dynasty, worthy of the children of their family.
Especially Pei Ruowang, he is very satisfied, the handsome twelve-year-old boy is his family, hehe.
The officials who followed exchanged glances with each other, and learned a lot.
High-end business wars often use the most simple and unpretentious means.
The means of the family are really dirty.
None of them dared to covet the governor and the Sixth Master's leaders so blatantly...
Qin Zhao at the back looked at his own Sixth Master with sympathy. There were quite a lot of people trying to poach people secretly.
The expressions of Pei Ruowang and the other three family heads were captured by Qin Sheng. He snorted lightly. These families were really crazy! Fortunately, he came, hum!
Qin Sheng simply ignored that there were several beautiful women with outstanding looks and talents. Married women also came out to socialize. They were hidden among them and were not too conspicuous.
Qin Sheng glanced at them again and again. The oppressive sight made most of the young talents he glanced at unconsciously turn their heads away.
On September 29th, Song Mo's imperial carriage stopped at a manor in Dali closest to Hancheng.
After taking the medicine, Song Mo asked about the situation in Pingzhou and Xianbei, "Have Pingzhou Lu Songli and Xianbei Tuoba Duoji arrived?"
"Your Majesty, yes, Governor Lu has arrived, Tuoba Khan has also arrived..." Lin Ran roughly told them about their situation.
Song Mo sneered, Lu Songli actually brought the younger generations of the Qin and Lu families and other important officials? He really didn't know how to live or die.
After Lin Ran finished his report, Song Mo waved him away.
As soon as Lin Ran went out, he was stopped by the imperial doctor at the corner.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
The imperial doctor's face was full of sorrow, "Master Lin, can you not make the emperor work so hard?"
Lin Ran asked, "Physician Lin, do you think I can make the decision on this?" The emperor asked, could he not answer?
Imperial Physician Lin also knew that Commander Lin could not make the decision in this matter, but what if, what if he could persuade the emperor?
If Lin Ran knew what he was thinking at this time, Gao Luo would say, "Fellow, you think too highly of me."
"Doctor Lin, you just need to do your best and don't think too much about other things." Lin Ran patted his shoulder at the end and left.
Dr. Lin was so worried that he sighed and pulled at his beard. Why did he get into such a errand? The emperor's broken body needs to be recuperated, and he may still have one or two years to live. If the emperor wants to die and ruins the dragon body, it will be difficult for even gods to save him.
On the morning of September 30th, Lu Songli and his party all got up, had breakfast under Xue's reception, and then got ready to go.
Xue Jin came to report, "Governor, Luan Jia from Dali Song Mo and Xianbei Khan and his party have all arrived, but they have not yet entered the Hancheng Plain."
The Hancheng Plain is very open, so it was designated as the location for the tripartite peace talks.
Guo Chong said, "Dali's side must be the last to arrive." It's understandable that people rely on their great power and want to be the finale.
"Why don't we, Pingzhou, enter first?" Lu Desheng said.
"Okay." Lu Songli doesn't want to fight for this finale. Strength is respected, and whether it's ostentatious or not is not that important.
