Chapter 315 Double Envoy
Han Fan was appointed to envoy to the State of Wei, and he carried two important missions on this trip.
On the one hand, on behalf of Tuoba Mingzhu congratulated Tuoba Si on his accession to the throne, and at the same time, he worshipped the late emperor Tuoba Kui. On the other hand, he was waiting for the opportunity to contact the tribal leaders who refused to submit to Tuoba.
Lu Qiang did not have a lot of fanfare when he married Tuoba Mingzhu, but this kind of thing obviously could not be concealed, and Lu Qiang's harem was not much, and he spoiled that woman very much, so there was no reason to let Tuoba Mingzhu keep his name hidden all the time.
At the beginning, Tuoba Mingzhu came to the Central Plains to marry Lu Qiang with Tuoba Kui's permission. Although nothing was done, she still had to comfort Tuoba Miao after all, right?
Of course, this is just a reason. Lu Qiang will not use his woman as a tool of war. At the same time, Tuoba Si can't believe that Lu Qiang is really willing to live in peace with him. Even if Lu Qiang is willing, he won't!
In addition, it was learned from the intelligence that Tuoba Si detained all the tribal leaders and commanded their army. At present, it was these tribal soldiers who threw rats, but after a long time, Tuoba Si would definitely find a way to brainwash them.
So Lu Qiang believes that those detained tribal leaders will secretly look for opportunities to escape. Han Fan's task is to create such an opportunity for them.
However, before Han Fan came out of Yanmen Pass, Luoyang sent him the latest news. Tuoba Si secretly invited Li Wei and Juqu Mengxun to go to his imperial account.
The strength of Tuoba Si is constantly increasing. Li Wei and Ju Qu Mengxun are against Luoyang. At this time, the intention of the three parties sitting together is self-evident.
And the emergence of this situation has also brought many unsafe factors to Han Fan's travel.
Out of the Yanmen Pass, that is, the boundary of the State of Wei. Previously, with the death of Tuoba Kui and the northward migration of Tuoba, the Wei cavalry had not appeared outside the Yanmen Pass for a long time, but before Han Fan arrived, the shadow of the Wei army often appeared outside the gate.
This is an obvious omen. For this reason, Lu Qiang has ordered Tan Daoji to strengthen his vigilance, but he still needs to avoid conflict with the Wei army for the time being.
Now that the Central Plains has been unified, almost all the elite troops of the imperial court have been transferred to the north. Some of them are busy recovering the states and counties in the old Qin Dynasty, and most of them are stationed on the border.
Tan Daoji is stationed in Youzhou, Zhao Lunwen is stationed in Jincheng, and Deng Xiang is guarded at Yanmen. In only three places, there are more than 300,000 troops. In addition, some small towns at the border gates are also built with beacon castles, equipped with more than a dozen soldiers. Once the enemy is found, they can be summoned to the rear through beacon fire at any time.
With such strict protection, Tuoba Si wants to invade the south, but it is not easy. Obviously, he also thought of this, so he secretly made an appointment with Li Wei and Juqu Mengxun.
However, Tuoba Si obviously did not expect that the Jin Dynasty would take the initiative to send people, but at this time, the messengers of Li Wei and Juqu Mengxun were still on the way.
As Lu Qiang thought, Tuoba Mingzhu lives in Luoyang Palace, which is not a secret for Tuoba Si. Tuoba Mingzhu is not Tuoba's own sister and has no deep feelings, so she has never felt anything to use.
But the Jin Dynasty has now made it clear that Tuoba Mingzhu was the princess of the previous emperor, so Tuoba Si must not take Han Fan's visit seriously.
Han Fan and his party were not far out of Yanmen and were strictly "protected" by the Wei army.
Han Fan is best at kung fu, but this time he finally realized what it means for a scholar to meet soldiers. These Wei soldiers seem to have a deep warning to the Jin army. Not only do they say a word differently from Han Fan, but even others can't get close to the Jin army.
In order to show no malice, Han Fan and his party only had more than 300 people, while the Wei army who protected them had 3,000. In this way, Han Fan and others were not like messengers, but more like prisoners escorted prisoners.
Han Fan is not in a hurry. In his team, there are not only people from the inner government, but also elites sent by Zhifengtang. He is convinced that these people must have a way to contact the outside.
Sure enough, as soon as the team passed Shengle, his men secretly told him that Li Wei's envoy Zhang Yu's team was not far ahead, but they were obviously under the close supervision of the Wei army.
Hearing the news, Han Fan suddenly became energetic. If he could destroy the alliance between Li Wei and Tuoba, it would be good, but he immediately became confused.
Since Tuoba Si secretly invited Li Yu and Ju Qu Mengxun, how could he let his team meet them?
After a little torture, he immediately understood Tuoba's vicious intentions. Obviously, he wanted to completely tie Li Wei to his chariot. If he expected it well, his team would definitely "meet" with Zhang Miao's team in a short time, and even be deliberately arranged by Wei Jun.
Zhang Miao obviously didn't expect Tuoba Si to make such an arrangement, and he certainly didn't want to see himself, but can he meet him?
Thinking of this, a flash of light flashed in Han Fan's eyes.
Sure enough, as Han Fan expected, not long after the team came out, they met a team waiting in front of them. After the two Wei soldiers gathered together to discuss a few words, they merged Han Fan into the larger team and then continued to move forward.
In the desert north in November, the wind has been howling and dripping water into ice. Fortunately, Han Fan is also a northerner, otherwise he will have a problem with the freeze.
I don't know whether it was intentional or afraid of the cold, the faces of the group were covered so tightly that people could not see their original appearance.
Han Fan couldn't help sneering secretly, which is called covering up. Do you think he can hide his identity in this way? I'm afraid Wei people won't agree, right?
That night, Han Fan was writing his experiences along the way in his account, which was a good habit he had developed for many years. Suddenly, a bodyguard came to report, and the general of the Wei army asked him to drink.
This Wei general is no longer the one who picks up Han Fan outside Yanmen Pass. It is said that he is Sheng Leshou, the beloved general of Tuoba Si, named Zhang Jun. He will go to the imperial court to report his duties and take them with him.
Han Fan has been waiting for this opportunity. Now he simply cleaned up and put on a robe and walked to Zhang Jun's tent.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Zhang Gon's tent, a man also came quickly from the oblique thorn. The man bowed his head and walked in a hurry. If Han Fan hadn't stopped in time, he would have hit Han Fan.
"I'm sorry..."
The man didn't finish his words. When he saw Han Fan's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned. And Han Fan also saw his face clearly.
This is a typical Han face, with a clear face, slender eyes, three wisps of long beards on the jaw, and a little erudite and versatile appearance.
Han Fan smiled and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Lord Zhang, please"
"You, do you know me?" After saying that, the man immediately felt lost his mouth, his face changed slightly, and he quickly closed his mouth.
"I don't know, hehe! Casually, how can Han know Han people who are willing to be alien slaves? After saying that, Han Fan reached out and pushed Zhang Mi open and walked into the account first.
After listening to Han Fan's words, Zhang Miao was stunned first, and then a trace of anger flashed on his face, but Han Fan wronged him, because although Li Gao was determined to divide himself, he was an authentic Han man, but another mission that Li Yu ordered him to come here was to pretend to submit to Tuoba heirs according to the situation in exchange for the support of the State of Wei to Xiliang.
Now, after receiving Lu Qiang's order to destroy Qifu Chipan, Li Wei and Ju Qu Mengxun deliberately find an excuse to delay, just to wait for Tuoba's troops, so that they will no longer have to be suppressed by the Jin Dynasty.
This is a very confidential matter, but Zhang Mi can't figure out how he met the envoy of the Jin Dynasty here? He was also arranged to drink in the same tent.
At this time, Zhang Mio really wanted to turn around and leave, but in order to complete his mission, he finally gritted his teeth and picked up the curtain and walked in.
As soon as it entered the tent, a heat wave came to face, and it was like two worlds outside, and the air was filled with the smell of roast lamb and wine.
Zhang Jun sat in the middle with a golden knife, and two female slaves knelt down on both sides. There were several bearded Wei generals on one side of the tent, but there were only two seats on the other side. Now Han Fan has sat on the upper head, and the lower position is obviously reserved for Zhang Mi.
"Lord Zhang, why did you come so late? Isn't it that you look down on me?" Before Zhang Mi spoke, Zhang Jun's rough voice sounded.
Zhang Mi had no choice but to bow and salute. After saying his guilt, he came to Han Fan and sat down. At this moment, does he still not understand Zhang Jun's real intention?
Han Fan saw Zhang Mi sit down and deliberately asked, "See, this adult is also a Han Chinese. I don't know where he is an official?"
Zhang Mio secretly hates that this guy obviously has his own identity, but he is still pretending to be confused. Does he want to see me make a fool of himself?
said lightly, "Zhang Mio, who was ordered by the king of my family to come to the emperor of Wei, this adult is very eye-catching, but he is also invited?"
Han Fan made a sudden realization and said, "It turned out that he was invited by the Emperor of Wei. I don't know which country King Liang is a minister? When you came out, did you ask for your Majesty's consent?
One sentence immediately stopped Zhang Mio, yes! Li Xiaoming has surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, but now he has come to the enemy of the Jin Dynasty as a guest. Has he obtained the consent of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty? But then again, does Li Wei dare to ask Lu Qiang?
Zhang Jun sat on it and originally wanted to watch a good play, but now when he saw Han Fan's words, Zhang Mi was speechless and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Is there no one in Xiliang? Why did you send such a fool?
He coughed dryly and interrupted, "You are all guests of my Wei. You have personal grudges, which can be solved later. I would have invited you today, mainly to welcome you to come and drink on behalf of my emperor."
According to Tuoba Si's meaning, as long as the two sides meet, the purpose will be achieved.
Unexpanded, Han Fan quit. He got up and hugged Zhang Mi, who was beside him, and pointed to Zhang Mi, "The subordinate will send a mission to your country on behalf of our emperor. At the same time, he also wants to worship your predecessor on behalf of the Pearl Princess, in order to live in peace with your country and always be a country of brothers. Now such people without a king and father appear here, please Zhang The general took it down and handed it over to our country at its own disposal, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Zhang Jun thought he had heard it wrong, looked at Han Fan, and then at Zhang Mi, who was also dumbfounded. He said to himself that this Jinshi would not drink too much, right?
