Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 429
Liu Mo and Sun Jian did not rush to Yangzhou at the same time. Liu Mo just took three followers and left Luoyang in a chariot and horse. Sun Jian made great fanfare and made rumors all the way, claiming to lead the elite of the Northern Army Going to Yangzhou, and asking local officials to give way on the road, not to let the people conflict with the army, such a swaggering posture is naturally for people in the southwest to see.

Therefore, Liu Mo was much faster than Sun Jian and the others. Within a few months, he arrived in Yangzhou, met Huang Zhong, the commander of the navy, and under Huang Zhong's protection, he went to the southwest. On the other hand, Sun Jian also accelerated. He lost his speed and rushed towards Yangzhou in a hurry. The soldiers understood why Sun Jian was so anxious.

Confederates have a fine tradition that the enemy will often surrender.
Sun Jian waited for several years before he had the opportunity to gain military merit. He certainly didn't want to see that Liu Mo had persuaded the Southwest and Southwest countries when he arrived in Yangzhou. It would be best if they killed Liu Mo. , Sun Jian would be able to attack on a large scale and use the opponent's head in exchange for his own promotion. The soldiers thought so too. They marched hurriedly, and not long after Liu Mo, they also came to Yangzhou.

Liu Mo rested for a few days in the stronghold in the southwest of the Han Dynasty. This area was taken from Funan by the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty set up a stronghold here to facilitate the transportation of ships and trade between the two sides. Here, he was not idle, he said he was resting, but he didn't stay in the mansion for a day, he was out all day, talking to those Funan Chenla people, for a while, everyone didn't know what he was doing.

Later, he ordered his soldiers to write to the King of Funan, and Liu Mo, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, wanted to see him.

In the past two years, although the relationship between the two parties has deteriorated somewhat, not as good as during the Jianning period, the national power of the Han Dynasty has become stronger and stronger. On the bright side, at least these guys still dare not reject the envoys of the Han Dynasty. Liu Mo went to Funan King City, looking at the strong and brave Huang Zhong beside him, Liu Mo felt a little more at ease, not as scared as before.

The soldiers and officials in Funan didn't dare to make things difficult for them. They soon came outside the royal city. Liu Mo looked at Huang Zhong at the side and asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to come in with me?"

Huang Zhong was taken aback, could it be that this person is not happy?
He frowned and asked, "Your Excellency, are you afraid that I will go with you, which will be bad for lobbying?"

"No, no, it's just." Liu Mo shook his head hastily, and was about to speak when Huang Zhong seemed to understand something, snorted coldly, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Mr. The point of grabbing the credit! Since the father does not want me to go with him! Then I will leave!" Huang Zhong turned and left.

Liu Mo's eyes widened.

"Hurry up and come back!!!"

Liu Mo looked at Huang Zhong beside him, and asked cautiously, "How is Han Sheng's martial arts?"

"Shang Ke." Huang Zhong said, and he didn't know what the minister asked. Liu Mo walked with him towards the royal city, but at the same time he was thinking, what does Shang Ke mean?Because of the misunderstanding just now, Huang Zhong didn't want to talk too much with him, he still talked a lot before letting Huang Zhong stay, without Huang Zhong, he wouldn't have the guts to challenge a country's monarchs and ministers!

"How about Shang Ke?" Liu Mo still asked a little uneasy.

Huang Zhong was a little angry, is this guy looking down on me? ?
He turned his head and looked at Liu Mo, with a solemn expression, and replied seriously: "My martial arts are not great, just like a gentleman, I can hit more than [-] with just one hand."

Liu Mo's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

When they came to the city, soldiers soon came out to greet them. Huang Zhong didn't bring many people. He just brought more than a dozen experts. Standing behind Liu Mo, the soldiers were a little afraid. When they arrived at Funan Palace, King Funan was standing on the steps, waiting for them. When he saw Liu Mo coming, he grinned and walked over with a smile.

Liu Mo quickened his pace and walked towards him.

"Liu Mo, the censor of the big man, pay homage to the King of Funan!" Liu Mo said, everyone was shocked. The reason for their surprise was that this person could speak fluent Funan language. , and quickly asked: "How can you speak the language of Funan?" Liu Mo smiled and said: "When I first arrived here, I started to learn, but I didn't learn a few words, which made you laugh."

With just a few words, he made King Funan and the officials who came to welcome him feel good, and flattered his talent with a smile. Liu Mo was very humble. He knew that this was nothing to him, and he just learned a few words. Therefore, Situ Wang Fu is the most powerful. It is said that it took him three days to completely learn Guishuang language, and he can speak eloquently, even more standard than Guishuang people!

And the people like Huang Zhong behind him were a little dazed. They didn't know what they were talking about. They saw them talking and laughing as they walked towards the palace. Huang Zhong followed him to go in together. Huang Zhong snorted coldly, without any fear in his heart, he looked down at them with his head down, and put his hand directly on the hilt of his sword.

Liu Mo looked at him, and said helplessly, "Duke Huang, swords are not allowed in the palace, so you can put the sword here for now."

Huang Zhong nodded, handed the sword to the soldiers beside him, and said in a low voice with some disdain: "Without the sword, I can strangle them with bare hands." Saber, with disdain for these Funan soldiers, completely looked down on these people. Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Liu Mo lowered his head and said nothing.

The rest of the people didn't say much, but the King of Funan looked at Huang Zhong with complicated eyes.

After entering the palace, Liu Mo was dragged by King Funan and sat beside him, while Huang Zhong was standing not far away, staring at him, King Funan looked at Huang Zhong, and said in fluent and elegant words: "Please take your seat, too! "

Um? ?Do you understand Yayan? ?
Huang Zhong was taken aback, forced a smile, and sat on his seat. The soldiers stood behind him, and Liu Mo chatted with King Funan. Embarrassing, if I said earlier that you could speak politely, wouldn't I just scold you in Nanyang dialect?

After chatting for a long time, King Funan wanted to bring the topic to the purpose of Liu Mo's mission many times, but Liu Mo chatted happily and had no intention of stopping. He was extremely excited, pulled King Funan, and said enthusiastically He wrote: "It turns out that you also produce fish and shrimp here! You don't know, I was originally from Dongyi, and I served as a big man. I became a big man's servant censor, supervised all officials for the emperor, and spoke freely"

King Funan frowned, what does this guy mean?Could it be that he also wants to persuade himself to be like him, to pay his dues completely, and then become an important minister in the Han Dynasty?Is this what the Son of Heaven meant?But what exactly is the official title?

King Funan narrowed his eyes and said, "The matter of Mr. Liu is really enviable. If I rush to Luoyang, who will I be?"

Liu Mo shook his head and said, "Oh, why don't you stay in your hometown when you are an official? You see, you still have fish and shrimp here. Now I really want to go back to Dongyi to catch fish and shrimp. We grow long A big fish with dragon whiskers is really amazing"

King Funan frowned again, what did he mean by these words?Is it better to be an official than to stay at home?And fish and shrimp?It must be a metaphor!He didn't want him to go to Luoyang to be an official, and he himself regretted being an official in Luoyang?This seems to be his own suggestion. There are fish and shrimp in my hometown. Are you using fish and shrimp as a metaphor for the throne?With dragon beard, obviously, it is true.

Does he mean to suggest that he retain the position of King Funan and be the puppet of the big man?

King Funan smiled and said: "Grand Liu, I do have fish and shrimp with dragon beards here, but in the future, can I still be a fisherman? Shouldn't I just stare at the fish and shrimp in a daze?"

"Hey? Thanks to your living here, you don't know how to fish? I'll teach you how to do it another day? This fishing has its own method, so you must follow it."

"But in the past, only I could catch this fish and shrimp. In the future, wouldn't it become someone else's pocket?"

"You man? As the king of a country, why are you so stingy? Funan is close to the river, and there are countless fish and shrimps. Why do you have to fish alone? This is too overbearing!" Liu Mo asked with some doubts.

King Funan was furious and said, "Why do I let other people catch my fish and shrimps!!"

"Never mind, whatever, you fish, I won't catch anymore. But, why don't you let others eat you, fish and shrimp? Has this always been the case?" Liu Mo asked with some doubts.

King Funan thought about it again and asked himself to fish, so you come to eat fish?Oh, I see, I am the king in name, and you are going to govern, this is still a puppet!

He shook his head and said, "My fish and shrimp are not easy for others to eat."

Liu Mo looked at him in surprise, this guy is so domineering, even the things in the river are so strict, so how can I tell him about the return later, can such a domineering king return the favor?He had some headaches, shook his head, and said: "It's the first time I've heard of such a theory. Unfortunately, on my side, I caught the fish, put it on the chopping board, removed the scales, removed the meat, and removed the thin bones. The taste is beyond words!"

The King of Funan got up angrily, looked at Liu Mo, and said, "Although Funan is a small country, I am not afraid of such intimidation, and I am not a fish in a copybook, let others kill me!"

Um? ? ? ?

"Mr. Liu will rest in the guest room for a few days!"

King Funan issued an order to evict guests. Liu Mo was led out by the soldiers with a dazed face. Huang Zhong was even more confused, and followed them into the guest room. Huang Zhong looked at Liu Mo with some doubts. Cautiously asked: "Grand Liu, just now, what happened?"

"I don't know. It's a good talk, why did you drive me away?" Liu Mo frowned, thinking.

At the same time, King Funan looked gloomy, and the officials sat around him, silent.

The King of Funan looked at them and asked in a bit of despair: "Do you understand what the Han envoy means?"

The ministers nodded,

"Then do you have any suggestions?"

The ministers shook their heads,

"Bastard! Did you guys not understand or have no suggestions???"

"My lord, why are you so angry when you give him one or two fish if the Han envoy wants to eat fish?" A minister asked cautiously. It’s not just waiting, you see, he came here for the king’s business, he didn’t mention the purpose of coming at all, he only talked about fish and shrimp, is this reasonable? He is clearly using this as a metaphor!”

"He came to persuade me to return. He compared Funan to fish and shrimp. Wasn't the killing of fish in the end just to intimidate us and compare us to fish on a chopping board? This man is not small. Dare to speak like that, he is stronger and more difficult to deal with than that Huang Zhong, alas. According to what he said, if we return, I can still keep this throne, but unfortunately, I don't have the right to eat fish!"

The ministers were in an uproar, as expected of a king, why didn't they expect that there is also that Han envoy, who is really unfathomable!

A minister said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Sun Jian was dispatched by the Han court. He has led [-] elite northern troops to Yangzhou. The Yangzhou navy is building ships. I'm afraid it is"

After discussing for a long time, the matter was finally settled.

The next day, early in the morning, King Funan called Liu Mo over.

Liu Mo has been thinking all night, what did he say wrong, how frightened the King of Funan is, doesn't he just want to eat a fish?This majestic king of a country can't even part with a fish!

"Han envoy, I am willing to help Nan, but I hope that the Han envoy can abide by the agreement so that I can still sit and fish."

Liu Mo is at a loss, nonsense, you will serve the emperor and will not kill you, of course you can still fish.

He accepted Funan's return, the initial negotiation was completed, and the goal was successfully achieved. However, at this time, Liu Mo did not have any joy. Instead, he was still a little puzzled. What is this? And the Son of Heaven, if they ask how I persuaded them, do I have to say it myself, just talk about it for a while, and they will pay off? ? ?
Huang Zhong was even more shocked. Looking at Liu Mo, he felt more and more that this person is extraordinary, wise and stupid. This kind of character made him have some friendship, and his attitude towards Liu Mo was not as tyrannical as before. A little cautious, Liu Mo was a little at a loss.

What on earth happened?

Thinking of the end, Liu Mo was relieved, maybe this guy didn't want to give him fish, so he did it, and wanted to give himself up the idea of ​​eating fish, but he didn't expect that this majestic king of a country would look like this, oh, forget it , this fish, whether you don’t eat it or don’t eat it, hum, the fish and shrimp in my Dongyi are much more delicious than your Funan’s.
