Shu Chen

Chapter 506 More than half a sentence

"There is nothing greater than chaos without a son of heaven. Without a son of heaven, the strong will prevail over the weak. The many will be violent and the few will fight each other with soldiers. There will be no rest. This is what the world should do. Therefore, in today's world, if you look for a wise man, you will be in the world." Inner, in the valley, a remote and quiet place."

——"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"

When Gao Kai and Dian Fan first entered the valley, they felt that this place was extraordinary.

Looking around, you can see the distant mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, the nearby valleys undulating gracefully, green branches and buds hanging in the morning dew, birds spreading their wings and fluttering among them, and summer cicadas vibrating above the trees.Three or four small wooden houses are scattered along the water, the light and shadow of the flowing water are shining, and the mixed stones are dotted in the green sandy ground. It was built by felling trees on the ground, the marks of knives and axes can be seen faintly, and the mellow fragrance of logs can be faintly heard.

Simple and rough, but there is a bit of back-to-basics artistic conception.

The only downside is that after entering the valley, there is always a faint smell of herbs lingering in the nose.

It seems that the owner here is recovering from illness?

The eyes of the two passed over the seven or eight retinues with blades that lined the road, and landed on the man who was wearing a worn-out swallow uniform and did not have a blade.

However, he saw that the figure was slightly thin, his temples were pale, his three strands of beard were neatly trimmed, his eyes were like stars, and he looked supernatural.As soon as I saw him, I couldn't help but praise him "I have a poetic spirit in my stomach". The power of life and death is undoubtedly manifested.Especially the several inches of scars on the face, adding a bit of hostility.

It shouldn't be someone you really want to be with.

They made an evaluation in secret.

But Zheng Pu didn't have much interest in speculating on them. When he saw them stepping forward, he just stood up and stretched out his hand to lure them, and said in a calm voice, "I'm sick, and I'm sorry if I'm lost. Please take a seat."

"No, thank you General."

The two of them didn't have any politeness, they bowed their hands or stroked their chests to thank each other, and then they moved and sat down.

Even after being seated, the accompanying blade entourage at the side had already offered some clear water, green fruits and candied fruit for a long time, and the two who claimed to come to discuss were still silent.

It also made Zheng Pu feel a little boring.

He had no hope for these Northland survivors, and he was sick and didn't want to entertain guests. This time, Rong Wanghua led them to make noise, but he didn't want these Northland survivors to think that he was arrogant and dishonest. That's all.

How can there be so much mood to waste time with them!

"cough!"

A light cough broke the silence.

When both of them turned their heads to look at the sound, Zheng Pu said slowly, "I am sick, and the imperial doctor told me not to bother me. You two came from a long way, you have something to say but you can speak it out. If you haven't thought it through in your heart, then Let's go back and discuss it first."

Hearing this, both of them couldn't help being slightly startled.

Maybe they also didn't expect that Zheng Pu was so contemptuous of the adherents of the Northland that he directly issued an order to expel them.

Naturally, it also made them feel a little angry.

Ju Zhong, the leader of Qiang, Dian Fan, who has not been restrained by the Han Dynasty since he was born, took the lead in restraining his anger, and asked in a slightly rebellious tone, "Dare to ask the general, how many times your army has been wandering into muddy water recently?" He Gu, is this the general who wants to raise troops to fight us to the death?"

"Our army has no such intention."

Zheng Pu smiled coyly, and waved his hands, "It's just that An Ding has just been restored, and the people in the counties and counties have changed their ownership. I'm afraid some criminals will take the opportunity to rob the people or collude with the rebellion against the Wei Dynasty, so I ask the ranger scouts to watch more."

After saying that, seeing that the two of them still didn't believe it, he added another sentence, "The enemy of our army is against Wei Ye, and the most urgent task is to occupy Guanzhong and return to the old capital! Branches are born outside the festival. If you don't offend our great man Tianwei, our army will have no intention of raising troops, and you don't have the idea of ​​disturbing yourself."

uh~~
As soon as these words fell to the ground, the two of Beidi couldn't help but look at each other.

They also saw doubts in each other's eyes, as well as the indignation of their sophistry.

Indeed, the ranger scouts of the Han army are spying on their habitat!They are all observing the defense of their clansmen, and they can always monitor their cattle, sheep, war horses, women and children!
Who would believe that the Han army had no intention of raising troops?

Even if the reasons given by Zheng Pu are sufficient, who dares to believe in the life and prosperity of the whole family?
However, they cannot refute such an explanation.

"What the general said reassures us."

Seeing that the fan was at a loss for words, Gao Kai got up and bowed his hands, and said in a very gentle voice, "It's just that I have something that I don't understand, so I hope the general will not hesitate to explain it. It was the former general who ordered Hu Boju to invite me to observe it." The war between the Han and Wei dynasties made us aware of the military power of the Han army. Afterwards, the repatriated king discussed with us and returned to the Han court. However, we all treated us as the general intended, but the general did not return to the previous intention. This is not a good start. And Falk finally?"

Actually hit back?
Why don't I discuss it again with you, isn't it because your hearts are not evil!

"Old man, you don't need to be formal, just take your seat."

Hearing this, Zheng Pu couldn't help but feel amused, and also somewhat dispirited. First, he raised his hand to signal Gao Kai to take a seat according to the custom of respecting elders in the Han Dynasty, and then continued, "It's not because I am responsible for the end, nor is it because I intend to play tricks. Yu Er and so on. It is according to the etiquette and law of our great Han, and we really cannot fulfill what you are asking for. Besides, our army is still fighting against Wei Wei, so instead of discussing repeatedly and wasting energy and time, it is better to let each other settle down."

Gao Kai, who had just taken his seat, his eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he blurted out, "So, I dare to ask the general, if your army takes control of Guanzhong, how will you treat us?"

This man is full of wit.

Hearing this, Zheng Pu glanced at him approvingly, then turned his head, his voice was a little ethereal.

"The first emperor of our country was the descendant of Emperor Xiaojing of the former Han Dynasty. After respecting the title of Tianzi, he sacrificed to Emperor Gao. Therefore, after our army took control of Guanzhong, we vowed to make Chang'an the capital."

It seems that the answer is irrelevant, but in fact it says everything.

Gain does not allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

With the lessons learned from the breach of Haojing, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, no matter whether it was the former Qin Dynasty or the former Han Dynasty, as long as the capital is located in Guanzhong, any emperor will be prepared for danger in times of peace, and will definitely not let the four northern counties of Guanzhong be taken over by others.

That is to say, Zheng Pu is declaring that "Under the Putian, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers".

He was threatening them very blatantly!
If they are unwilling to accept the big man's appeasement now, then after the war between Han and Wei ends and the big man frees up his hand, they will inevitably march north to beg for disobedience!And when that time comes, the big man will not give them the current conditions.

Even Dian Fan, the leader of the Qiang tribe, can recognize this meaning in the oligocultural sentence.

"you!"

Therefore, he suddenly got up and pointed at Zheng Pu to scold him, but he didn't say anything.

The subordinate Qi Yacuo, who had been standing beside Zheng Pu all this time, had drawn his sword half a step forward and stared at him like a beast.If he dares to speak out and humiliate, he will be decapitated.
