Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty Chapter 708: Spring message

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!

Tokyo is celebrating, and Hebei's news is everywhere.

The official announcement is that the Zhou Liao army was in a large-scale decisive battle near Zhuozhou, and the Zhou army won and defeated the Liao army! The Liao army retreated to Youzhou and was unable to fight again.

This statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is barely true. The main force of the Liao army did indeed lose in Zhuozhou. The Zhou army was dominated by infantry and did not form an annihilation war.

The main reason is that there is still no way to explain the real strategic victory. If it is described that "Zhou army defended the line of defense, leaving the Liao army with no chance to take advantage of it, after a confrontation for many days, the Liao army retreated to the grassland due to the pressure of logistical food and grass."

Moreover, the significance of this battle is much more than just letting the Liao army retreat actively, so the truth is only understood by people in Guo Shao's circle.

...The spring breeze melted the ice and snow, and the willow branches on both sides of the Bianshui River had sprouted. The good news from Hebei flutters in Tokyo like the spring news.

At this time, a few big cannibals with silk heads were looking at the surrounding scenery curiously.

The pedestrians and people also looked at them curiously. It is said that there were many Semu people in Luoyang and other places in the Tang Dynasty, and business exchanges continued; but for so many years after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, there are very few Semu people in the Central Plains. Sometimes people from Tubo, Dangxiang, Khitan and other tribes appeared. But the appearance is not as huge as the face of the Semu people.

The leader of the group of big cannibals is Shuaiman, a tall man in his thirties, with thick hair and a curly beard; his name has nothing to do with Shuai, the pronunciation is a bit like "Sand"儿" At the beginning, it seems handsome and handsome when you say it is transliterated soon. The expression of wonder on his face could not be concealed.

Walking all the way from King Xing’s Mansion, when they settled in the post houses in various big cities, they have already seen the huge and prosperous city of Zhongtu. The population of the city far exceeds their previous experience.

Now when I arrive in Tokyo, I am even more attracted by the magnificent towers, exquisite pavilions, pavilions, and willows, and there are a lot of people in the streets and countless shops. Shuaiman looked dizzy.

"There are a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles, and there must be a great demand for luxury goods. The Great Zhou Kingdom is a huge commercial treasure!" The handsome man grumbled and said with his fellow colleagues, his face very excited.

The civil servants who received them can't speak the language of eclipse, and the entire Tokyo court can't find officials who can speak eclipse. It is the reason why they will go back for many years. Only the Chinese translation brought by Da Cannibal could understand it.

The civil officer didn't know what they were saying, so he said politely: "The officer will take your envoy to the post for a rest. You have to bathe and change your clothes, because the Empress Duanci will meet you in person tomorrow morning."

The Han Chinese Lu Yongzhen next to him grumbled as if pinching his nose and the sputum had not melted away.

Shuai Man first nodded to the civil official in response. I also asked Lu Yongzhen, a Han man I hired: "In the past, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty also lived in the deep palace, and most people couldn't see it, but I have seen a woman in the court. Does Zhongtu like to use women to control power?"

Lu Yongzhen said: "That is unique to the Southern Han Dynasty, and it is not the case in the Central Plains. The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is now fighting in the North and the Great Liao Kingdom, and I heard that he won a battle; he is not in the palace now. So let the queen’s sister Duan Cihuang regency.

It is a very respected etiquette for Shuaiman to be interviewed by Queen Duanci in person. It seems that we will be in Tokyo this time without any trouble. "

Shuaiman was very happy after hearing this, and was a little confused: "Why did the emperor want the queen's sister to reign instead of the queen?"

Lu Yongzhen looked embarrassed and failed to answer.

Shuaiman is very curious: "Could it be that the queen and sisters were both married to the Emperor of Zhou at the same time?"

Lu Yongzhen hurriedly waved his hand: "You can't say that!" He looked back at the civil servant, "Fortunately no one in Tokyo can understand us, otherwise it would be miserable!"

Lu Yongzhen frowned and thought for a while, "Probably because the Emperor Zhou is meritocracy, and his sister is better than the queen, so the emperor is assured that the government will be handed over to the empress Duanci. Anyway, they are all relatives."

The handsome man had doubts on his face, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, expressing his incomprehension. There is a queen, what's the matter with the queen's sister?

Lu Yongzhen said again: "In the future, Mr. Shuaiman should stop talking about marrying queens and sisters. It is completely out of Da Zhou etiquette. The sister is the wife of the first emperor, and the first emperor is the cousin of the current emperor; in the Central Plains, brothers You can’t marry a sister-in-law!"

Shuaiman nodded hurriedly and said: "When I settle down, I will record the royal family and the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. It's a pity that I didn't bring a painter with me."

Lu Yongzhen smiled and said: "Since Queen Duanci summoned you personally, there will be another chance."

The civil officer asked Lu Yongzhen what the big cannibals were talking about. Of course, Lu Yongzhen didn't dare to talk about the royal family, but said: "The big cannibal Shuai said that Tokyo is very rich and a treasure land full of business opportunities."

The civil servants were a little proud after hearing this, and they felt bright on their faces when they heard the foreigners praise their capital. The civil officer said kindly: "When you meet Empress Duanci tomorrow, you have to be respectful, because you are a member of the Fanbang, not a subject of mine, and you don’t have to kneel. Pay attention to what you say, don’t talk about business matters, and someone will teach them. Just memorize it; if you want to talk about business, your own Hakka ambassador and officials from the Ministry of Households will discuss with them."

Lu Yongzhen said: "Thank you A Lang for your reminder. Cao Min clearly explained to the Big Cannibal."

A group of people rode along the Royal Street to the south of the imperial city, where the ceremony hall is. Shuaiman once again stared at the grandeur of the imperial city. The buildings in Dazhou were not as high as the one on the other side, but they occupies a very large area. On the magnificent tower, the stubborn soldiers stood motionless, guarded very tightly.

As for the ceremonial hall, some officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty treated the messengers of the food as state envoys, and they were of high standards. Shuaiman ate very fine and delicious food, and the porcelain that contained the food was also an official kiln fine product. If it were shipped to Da Shi, these porcelains would be very valuable. In addition, the curtains, bed nets, and quilts in the house are all exquisite silks that can sell for big prices in the eyes of handsome man.

Everyone was very happy. The handsome man checked the gifts he brought with him to the Emperor of Zhou, some plant seeds, hats made of precious bird feathers, gold utensils, and a sharp knife for fun. Shuaiman took a treasured knife and looked at it, and said, "This is only made of iron produced in a special place. It has little to do with craftsmanship. It is also a rare thing to give to the emperor."

An accompanying person said: "The officials of Zhou Guo treated us very well. If they hadn't received them warmly, how could we dare to walk so far to the capital of Middle-earth?"
