Chapter 439
Liu Mo still left the Wonu country. Although he was still a little afraid in his heart, he knew that this was an excellent opportunity and he must not miss it. He did not bring his confidants with him when he left the Wonu country, or He doesn't seem to have any confidantes, he can only ask a few generals to send a few elite soldiers to escort him. If possible, he would like to let Captain Dian personally escort him.

It's a pity that Lieutenant Dian still needs to protect the safety of the Japanese king. This is very important. He has no way to escort Liu Mo. However, before Liu Mo asked, Xu Rong sent two veterans in the army, one He was still young and didn't look like a martial artist, but he had an elegant temperament. The other man had a beard, a thick face, frowning, and a terrifying appearance. They came to Liu Mo's mansion to meet Liu Mo.

They took Xu Rong's letter with them and handed it to Liu Mo. Liu Mo took a look. Xu Rong stated in the letter that he admired Liu Gong's feat of traveling alone. He was harmed by Xiao Xiao's generation, so he sent two confidantes to escort them to the various countries. Liu Mo looked at the two with a smile and asked, "Thank you for your two escorts. I don't know your name?"

"Don't dare, my subordinate Tian Yu is from Yuyang County. He was first recruited by General Huangfu and served in the army for six years. Now he is the Sima under Captain Xu's tent." The young man said, Liu Mo was very happy, and sent him Helping him up, another man said: "Ta Dun, a Wuhuan man, was previously under the command of General Dong."

"Good! With two escorts, I won't be afraid anymore."

When Xu Rong's actions spread, Tai Shici and the others immediately understood that there was no more war in the Wonu Kingdom, and opportunities for meritorious deeds were even rarer. Escorting Liu Mo would not only please the minister of the court, but also allow his subordinates to obtain meritorious service. Promoting a confidant kills two birds with one stone. Tai Shici and Dian Wei hurriedly dispatched their men to Liu Mo's mansion. The four of them arrived at Liu Mo's mansion almost together. Liu Mo looked at these sturdy and strong men. The titan in the army also has much less fear in his heart.

"My subordinate Zhao Yun, from Changshan, is a captain under the command of General Taishi."

"Subordinate Cheng Pu, a native of Youbeiping, a prince under the command of General Tai Shici."

"Subordinate Yan Yan, from Chengdu, Yizhou, Sui Dian Xiaowei to San Han."

"He belongs to Wenchou, from Ye. He was a soldier under General Huangfu first, and now he is Sima under Lieutenant Dian Xiaowei."

Liu Mo's face was full of smiles. These are the elite of the army. They have been in the army for several years, and they are brave. With these people escorting him, he was less worried. Afterwards, he brought four more chariots and horses. He personally selected the groom, and found a Japanese guide. This guide is very famous in the Japanese slave country. At the same time, he also has a little knowledge of elegant words, which can be used for translation. On the next day, Liu Mo left the Japanese slave country.

No minister came to see him off, everyone was busy, and Liu Mo didn't care.

"Grand City"

This was the name of the Japanese guide, and all of them came to Liu Mo's side, and asked with a smile, "What orders does Mr. Liu have?"

"Do you know it is my country, Yixie country, Duzhi country?"

"I know. These three countries are the most powerful three countries other than Yamatai and Wonu Kingdom"

Liu Mo nodded thoughtfully, thought for a while, and then asked: "Can these three countries border each other? Who is closest to the Wonu country?"

"It is not bordering, it is the closest to our country."

"Good, let's go and serve our country"

Hearing Liu Mo's words, the knights around felt a little dazed. Liu Mo's trip was extremely mysterious. In name, he was going to Yamatai. Before Liu Mo left, he asked Xun You to speak like this with great fanfare. , was going to Yamatai, but before leaving, Liu Mo mysteriously didn't know what he was doing, and then ordered to go to Weiwu country. The knights couldn't figure it out, and they didn't know whether they should ask.

Everyone was marching towards our country. Liu Mo looked at many generals and began to chat. Perhaps because Liu Mo himself was not of high birth, he was very sincere to these knights, and his words were completely close. Zhao Yun The others were a little flattered. On weekdays, Liu Mo, an important official in the court, would pay attention to them, Sima Junhou, but with Liu Mo, they could not see the slightest bit of disdain or contempt.

It was as if he regarded everyone as his friends, not his subordinates. After walking for four days, Liu Mo talked for four days without stopping for a moment, and the knights were not bored. When they marched in a hurry before, that means It’s so boring. On such a long journey, Liu Mo can talk a little bit, talk about fish and shrimp, and tell some stories about the court. It’s also very good. On the fifth day, Liu Mo and They are all acquainted.

Even the groom and the Japanese guide, Da Chandu, are very familiar with Liu Mo.

"Liu Gong, why are we going to serve our country? Aren't we going to be an envoy to Yamatai?"

Tian Yu asked with some doubts. After getting acquainted, they dared to ask these questions.

Liu Mo frowned, but he was thinking in his heart, should he tell them such an important strategy, or should he tell them?
They are all confidantes, and maybe they can help him find out the shortcomings. When he thought of this, he suddenly laughed and said: "The envoy to Yamatai is just a cover. The purpose is these three countries, and now the Wa Island countries are in an alliance, and because of Mr. Cao’s incident, it is absolutely impossible for Ximatai to become the leader of the alliance. As the other three powerhouses, these three countries must compete for this position.”

"If you want them to recognize the status of the co-lord of the King of Japan, then you need to let these three people admit that the other small countries are not enough to cause trouble. Of course, it is best to cause them to fight and let them break each other's suspicions one by one."

Liu Mo said with a smile.

The rest of the people stared wide-eyed, and Cheng Pu asked in puzzlement: "How to break them one by one?"

"Of course it's not the use of force. Although our Han army is strong, we have to transport food, grass and military equipment from the Three Hans, which takes time and effort. If we go to war, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete major events in a short period of time. Our purpose is just to let them recognize the King of Japan. It is not to integrate them, and to integrate them, it still depends on the future Prime Minister of the Wa Kingdom. I set off like this and brought some gifts, and the rest will be discussed after meeting with these princes."

The knights nodded, and looked back at the four carriages. The carriages seemed to carry a lot of goods, and the tracks of the wheels were so heavy. Several people guessed in their hearts whether it was gold or weapons and equipment?Liu Mo smiled and said, "Do you know if it's a gift from God?"

"Or things of gold."

"No, no, it's fish and shrimp. The fish and shrimp are given to the kings of the kingdoms."

"Fish and shrimp???" The knights were stunned, and Zhao Yun said in a daze, "I have never heard that the two countries negotiated to send fish and shrimp. Isn't this a loss of face for the big man?"

"A small country is not as good as a county. What kind of country is it?"

"You don't believe this fish and shrimp, and those monarchs certainly won't believe it either. In this way, if other countries ask what the envoy of the great man sent, how should he answer?" Liu Mo stroked his beard, gently Said with a smile, Zhao Yun asked: "Then what if he took out fish and shrimp as evidence?"

"Then let him hold a banquet, treat us with fish and shrimp, eat all the fish and shrimp, and there will be no proof."

"Is this method a bit simple?"

"Hey, it's just a first move"

Zhao Yun frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "But, this carriage doesn't just look like there are fish and shrimp, everyone is heavy."

"Hahaha, there are some copper coins and weapons on the top, fish and shrimp after that, and stones at the bottom"

The knights still didn't quite understand, but Wen Chou praised, "Mr. Liu is a great talent."

Liu Mo shook his head and said: "This is not my strategy, but Situ Gong's strategy. When I came, Situ Gong gave me beautiful clothes and sent me letters. I still don't know what he meant. , I just realized that beautiful clothes are to show my status. First, it can make many kings pay attention to it. Second, it can make them understand that a barbarian like me can be treated like this in a big man, so that I can make them yearn for"

"He also asked me to give fish and shrimp to the three kingdoms. When I got here, I realized that these three kingdoms are only next to the Wanu country and Yamatai, and Yamatai is related to the big man. If you want to fight The leader must be among the three kingdoms, so I came up with this plan to send fish and shrimp to confuse the kingdoms and arouse suspicion. These are all the deep intentions of Lord Situ!" Liu Mo said, and everyone looked at each other in dismay. In my heart, I have admiration for Situ Gong who is far away in the temple.

After saying this, Liu Mo looked at the guide and asked, "Dachengdu, these are all important strategies, don't talk to outsiders."

Da Zhan nodded and said respectfully: "Your Majesty regards me as a confidant, and I will definitely live up to it."

Everyone chatted, Tian Yu said: "When we arrive in our country, maybe we can go around and ask about his likes and dislikes, and know his nature. In this way, it will be much more convenient for Liu Gong to negotiate with him." Liu Mo nodded.

Soon, they rushed to Weiwu country. Unlike Dahan, there is no strict household registration system here. Along the way, there are no post stations, and no pavilion chiefs to check. They walked very quickly. When they arrived in Weiwu country, Zhao Yun and the others wanted to inquire about the news, but the Japanese guide stopped them and said, "Don't trouble your lords, I know the lord's affairs best."

"As the king of our country, he is nearly sixty years old, but he has no son or daughter. Therefore, his wives and concubines are in groups in the palace, and he is a dissolute person. He also made a law that all women in the country should enter the palace to serve. Let everyone be ashamed."

Zhao Yun and the others widened their eyes. What kind of king is this? He is so absurd and not a son of man. Liu Mo frowned and pondered. He never thought that he would face such an unbearable king next. He asked again: "Then how is he governing, and what about our country?"

"The former king of our country was a man of great talent and strategy. He loved the people like a son, defeated the conquests of 24 countries, and became one of the powerful countries that can compete with Yamatai. Unfortunately, this one is now obsessed with women all day long. I have never been in politics, so that I am exhausted for the people of our country, it is really unbearable, but because of the foundation of the former king, I can still be included in the list of powerful countries."

Hearing this, Liu Mo hesitated in his heart. He didn't know whether he should pay a visit to the monarch. Just walking like this, when they arrived at the king's city, they were discovered by the soldiers of our country. The soldiers saw Afterwards, these knights seemed extremely panicked. They even abandoned the city gate and fled here. It didn't take long before hundreds of soldiers surrounded them, and the guide stepped forward to explain to them.

He chatted with the leader for a long time before turning back to Liu Mo's side.

"how?"

"They went to sue the king, but they are still as greedy as ever, and they asked us for bribes."

"Hehehe" Zhao Yun and others sneered, wanting to bribe?
After a long time, these soldiers just ran back. They were crooked, with various weapons in their hands, and they didn't even have the same clothes. The scene inside is not much better than outside the city. There are ruins and muddy ground everywhere. The people around are staring at them dully, with no expression in their eyes. Most of them are naked and can only wear cloth bar cover.

Liu Mo's heart sank, and a few people unintentionally blocked the carriage, and the soldiers waved their long whips. Even if they were beaten, these commoners were at a loss, and left here calmly. They were already numb. Zhao Yun and other generals couldn't bear it, but they didn't say anything.

"It's always been like this here?"

"Hehe, it's not. Three years ago, when I came here, this place wasn't so unbearable." Da Chan said helplessly.

"Have you been here many times?"

"Since I was a child, I like to go around and travel around the world, so I am not happy. Before I was 30 years old, I had already traveled all over Wajima, and there was no place where I fell."

While chatting, when they arrived at the palace, the soldiers raised their heads and wanted to take away the weapons of Zhao Yun and others. Cheng Pu frowned and pushed suddenly, the soldier almost fell down, and they drew their swords angrily. He looked around, but found that Zhao Yun's saber was already on his neck, the man was a little panicked, stepped back carefully, and didn't provoke them any more, just swearing in Japanese.

Soon someone led them into the palace, Liu Mo turned around and said: "Captain Zhao, Wen Sima, please stay behind the chariot and horses." Zhao Yun understood what he meant, nodded, and pulled Wen Chou to stand at the gate of the palace. Before, looking at the surroundings staring at them without any fear at all, Liu Mo led the rest of the people into the palace, and suddenly found that the whole palace was full of soldiers. These soldiers were holding weapons and staring at them with ferocious expressions.

Liu Mo felt the malice, a little fear in his heart, and he didn't dare to move forward. Tian Yu seemed to see something, coughed, pointed to the distance, and said, "Sir, is that the king of our country?" Liu Mo followed him Sure enough, there was a person sitting on the upper seat, with gray hair and gloomy face, staring at him. Liu Mo came back to his senses, walked over in a few steps, cupped his hands gently, and said, "The envoy of Han has seen the Japanese Jun."

The guide translates immediately.

Before the king of Japan spoke, a minister shouted from the side: "Why don't you pay homage to my king!!"

After the guide translated, Liu Mo shook his head and said: "I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, not a minister of the emperor. I just greeted you, but because the king of the Japanese is old, the country of the king of the Japanese is less than a hundred miles away, and the people are less than a hundred thousand. It's not as good as a county in the Han Dynasty, how can the censor pay a visit to the county magistrate?"

Da Zhan was a little surprised, but he translated it truthfully. When the monarch heard this, he frowned immediately, and said angrily: "No one has ever dared to be rude to me like this. Those who were rude to me before were cooked by me." Let's share it with everyone, I wonder if the meat of the Han people is fragrant?" After he finished speaking, a soldier came in from the side, holding firewood and various utensils, Liu Mo instinctively felt uneasy, and the guide was a little afraid translated his words.

Poor Mr. Liu was so frightened that he almost yelled, "I'm from the east, it doesn't taste good, you can eat the ones around me, they are pure!" !
Tian Yu, Chengpu and the others were immediately ready to fight, but Tadun shook his head in disdain.

"These people are definitely not experts at cannibalism. Human flesh is sour. If you want to eat it smoothly, you have to take a big cauldron, sprinkle spices first, then pour strong wine, and eat it with the fruit. In this way, it is still delicious."

"hiss"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at him with some horror, Mr. Wa hurriedly asked, what did he say?The guide translated again, and the Japanese gentleman was also taken aback. He looked at Tadun, who had a ferocious face, staring at him, grinning, and licked his lips. The Japanese gentleman was so scared that he almost fell off his seat. down.

He forced a smile and said:

"Please take a seat"
