Chapter 215 Another Journey

There are only 3,000 cavalry stationed near Jiangling, and most of the rest have been deployed, so if Lu Qiang wants to leave, he can leave at any time without causing too much noise.

However, just as Lu Qiang was preparing to quietly go to the front line of Puyang, he suddenly heard that the State of Wei sent an envoy.

This envoy of the State of Wei is not small. He is the prince of Tuoba Gui, Taifu, Guan Neihou, surnamed Xu Mingqian.

At this time, although Lu Qiang's civil and military ministers already had a clear official position, they had not yet been appointed. It was not that Lu Qiang deliberately forgot, but he did not want to give rewards indiscriminately when the capital was not determined.

Since he has come to such a big official, Jinting can't be shabby. Lu Qiang ordered Wang Dan to talk to him to see what this guy is doing.

Through understanding, Lu Qian learned that Xu Qian was a Han man and was highly used by Tuoba liu��u. As early as when Tuoba's national name was still a substitute country, he had been appointed as Tuobaliu��u as the right Sima.

A Han man is willing to serve aliens, and such a person has been automatically classified as a traitor by Lu Qiang.

Xu Qian also came to Jiangling for the first time. Originally, he was going to go to the State of Qin, but since Er Liu colluded with Tuobagui and Lu Qiang calmed down the south, he suggested that Tuobagui did not need to contact Yao Xing anymore. This road must be stronger than Yao Xing, so he came to Jiangling.

Tao Yuanming was supposed to be responsible for meeting with foreign envoys, but Lu Qiang knew that Tao Yuanming was too honest, so he asked Wang Dan, who was in charge of the household department, to receive Xu Qian.

Xu Qian has lived in the State of Wei for many years and has long forgotten the fact that he is still a Han Chinese. He even didn't realize anything wrong with ruling the Han people of aliens. However, this person is still modest and knows how capable people are in the Central Plains. He was also very polite when he saw Wang Dan.

Wang Dan is Lu Qiang's confidant. He knows that Lu Qiang is about to use troops against Tuoba Gyu. At this time, the more he can confuse this envoy of the State of Wei, of course, he will create more opportunities for Lu Qiang.

With the unveiling of Lu Qiang's identity, various supporting facilities in Jiangling have become increasingly perfect, including the Siyi Hall, which specializes in receiving foreign envoys. The name of the museum is also extracted from the depths of Lu Qiang's memory.

There is a confused heart of Xu Qian, and he has done meticulously in hospitality, which made Xu Qian's little worry disappear.

He was also afraid that the matter of collusion with Erliu would be known by the Jin Dynasty, so didn't he come for nothing?

In addition, Wang Dan, a newcomer of the Jin Dynasty, came to meet, which also shows that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty attached great importance to this relationship.

As soon as they met, the two vain guys worked hard on their faces. What they didn't know thought were two reunion old friends!

After the greeting, Wang Dan conveyed Lu Qiang's greetings to Tuoba Kui and affirmed that he wanted to make friends with the State of Wei, and then asked about the topic.

"Some merchants from the north said that your country was conquering the State of Yan, and the Emperor Yan also sent a letter to my emperor asking for help. I don't know if this matter is true or not?"

It is obviously unrealistic to pretend not to know such a big event in the north, which is easy to arouse Xu Qian's vigilance.

After listening to Wang Dan's words, Xu Qian's face turned pale and changed into an indignant expression and said, "The Yan people have taken advantage of the sluggishness of their country to harass our country many times, plundered the border people, and attacked the city and broken the fortress. It can be said that they have committed a heinous crime. Now my emperor has accepted God's will and obeyed the hearts of the people, and decided to settle the old accounts with the State of Yan in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a moment and said, "My emperor is afraid that His Majesty will be confused by traitors and participate in it without knowing the truth, so he sent me to discuss with your parliament and conclude an alliance."

"Oh! Covenant? What kind of covenant?

Wang Dan asked with a very interested expression.

Xu Qian smiled and said, "Please attack Yan from south to north and your country from north to south, and then divide the territory of Yan equally."

It's almost the same as what I thought. I nodded and said, "The idea is very good, but the subordinate can't be the master. After I invite your majesty, I will reply to Lord Xu."

"It should be so"

Xu Qian said that he ordered people to hold one large and two small brocade boxes, and said with a smile, "This is my Majesty's little intention to His Majesty the Emperor of Jin, and the other is a little meeting gift given to Lord Wang. I hope you can accept it with a smile."

"Oh! This, this is not good!"

Wang Dan wanted to give Xu Qian the impression of greed. He said it was not good, but his hand honestly and rudely put the small brocade box into his arms.

When Xu Qian saw this, he smiled more brightly.

There is not much time. These two big and small brocade boxes were placed in front of Lu Qiang. After opening, there were many colorful diamonds, many of which were even unprocessed original diamonds.

Diamonds are not rare in the Central Plains at this time, especially when they are stacked together in various colors, emitting dazzling brilliance under the reflection of light.

In addition to Lu Qiang, many people made a "tut, tut" admiration.

Although the treasure is good, it can't deceive the strong in this regard. Diamond is actually a mineral. Before it is processed, many of them are radioactive. In ancient times, people did not understand what radiation is, but he knew it.

Lu Qiang is not an expert in this field, he only knows a little about one or two, but that's enough, so he won't use these things or give them to anyone.

ordered Zhao Yong to wrap these gems tightly and store them in the inner warehouse. No one is allowed to use them without his permission.

The officials thought that the emperor would give it to the harem, but they didn't understand why he put it away? And of course, this kind of thing can't be explained.

"Your Majesty, I think Tuoba's proposal can be considered"

He Wuji, who had not said anything for a long time, pulled back everyone's thoughts.

This time, before others could speak, Tao Yuanming shook his head first: "No, no, isn't this unjust to your majesty?"

Lu Qiang was amused. This nerd has been in politics for so long. Why hasn't his mind changed at all?

In fact, whether to beat the State of Yan or not is secondary. Lu Qiang knows his own affairs and the new establishment of the imperial court can be said to be waiting to be popular. In this case, it is not suitable for direct contact with the State of Wei, which is like the wind.

400,000 people who control the strings!

Thinking about Lu Qiang's heart palpitations. Imagine that once he borders the State of Wei, it is necessary to face such a threat at all times, so it is simply a fool to share the State of Yan with Wei.

Tuoba gui first sent people to secretly collude with Er Liu in an attempt to interfere in the affairs of the State of Jin. After the defeat, he pretended to be nothing and came to sign a covenant with him. Is such a person credible?

Wang Zhen said evilly, "I think it's okay for Wang Shangshu to agree to Xu Qian, as long as we don't sign substantive things, and in this way, no matter how much we mobilize the army, it will not arouse their suspicion."

He Wuji frowned. He was a general. The covenant was not binding on him at all, and he even believed that Lu Qiang had the same idea as him.

In front of absolute strength, everything is pale, and the covenant with aliens is no different from the open paper in Lu Qiang's eyes.

However, there are some words that can only be kept in the heart and cannot be said.

turned his head and smiled at Wang Dan and said, "You talk to him!" Talk slowly and take him around. I guess he has forgotten what his ancestors' rivers and mountains are like."

Then his face turned and said, "We need the buffer place of the State of Yan, so the original plan remains unchanged. After I leave, the court will rely on you."

"None will live up to your majesty's expectations" the ministers agreed.

After the ministers retreated, Lu Qiang ordered people to find Dai Qianqiu.

"This time has taught us another lesson. From now on, you have to seize the time to explore your tentacles outside and even the north of the desert. We can't wait for anything to happen before we are the last to know."

When Dai Qianqiu saw that the emperor's face was not good, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is definitely the last time."

"Go! When I'm away, I have something to discuss with the Lord Xie, but he can't make all the decision, understand?"

Dai Qianqiu is very capable of doing things. It can be said that he has taken a lot of credit, but his shortcoming is that he is not vicious enough.

Liu Sinu is vicious enough, but this boy is too bold. If he doesn't control it, something may happen. Xie Wangzu has an innate advantage in this regard.

Xie Wangzu is now a veritable foreign relative. Lu Qiang did not give him a clear official position, but he didn't want the foreign relatives to fight for power in his own dynasty, but Xie Wangzu is also a meritorious person and can't be too cold, so he found something to do for him.

After all, Dai Qianqiu has been working as a spy for so long, and his understanding of Lu Qiang's mind can still be done.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do, and I will leave"

With the lesson of Sima Xiuzhi, Lu Qiang pays great attention to the people around him, especially his relatives. Although he can't see anything now, there is no big mistake in being careful.

That night, Wang Dan and Xie Wangzu banqueted Xu Qian. The two old foxes took turns to fight, and they were both beautiful and good wine, and directly put the Marquis Xu under the table.

Of course, they only said that your majesty is still considering the alliance proposed by Xu Qian. After all, when your majesty went to save the queen in the past, he had a chance with Murong Yun, so this matter must be cautious.

While drinking, Wang Dan and Xie Wangzu gave Xu Qian an ethnic class again. This text had no effect on Xu Qian, but it also aroused his yearning for the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, so he promised to go to the mountains and water together at the wine table the next day.

The next day, before dawn, when Xu Qian was still hungover, Lu Qiang had already taken a carriage and quietly left Jiangling and went straight to the front line of Puyang.

In order to confuse the enemy, Lu Qiang even dyed his beloved red rabbit horse black.

The southerners are weak, which is the idea of almost all grassland people. Although Tuoba Kui valued the Han people very much, he also looked down on the Jin Dynasty army from his bones.

The emperor still has this idea, not to mention his soldiers.

Lu Qiang Junchen, even Xu Qian, did not know that no matter whether the Jin Dynasty sent troops or not, the Wei army was going to compete with the Jin army.
