.    Chapter 422: The Envoy from Yamatai Kingdom Comes

    "It's only time for a cup of tea. The purpose of coming is the most stable. Let's take a look." In the Zhou Mu Mansion, Zhen Yao tapped his finger on the desk and said stiffly.  In front of him, a middle-aged man wearing Hanfu, but with an un-Han face, stood nervously bent over.

    "My lord, from the Kingdom of Ximatai, Nan Jiangmi, I would like to pay my respects to Duke Zhongshan." He knelt down and kowtowed obediently, and the middle-aged man spoke his name.

    "Ximatai Kingdom?" Zhen Yao frowned slightly, as if he had never heard of this place. He looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu on the side. One of them looked at the sky, the other closed his eyes, without any reaction.  He had to cough a few times and ask: "Where is the evil horse platform?"

    Nan Jiangmi seemed to know where he was, and the princes of the Han Dynasty may not know it. He immediately bowed and replied: "My country, Ximatai, is located south of Sanhan, surrounded by water, and is a remote land. Fourteen years ago, the king of the country  The powerlessness caused the whole island to be in turmoil. At the right time, the queen came to the throne to quell the chaos, so the country's name was changed to Yamatai."

    "The south of the Three Kingdoms?" It has been so long since I came to the end of the Han Dynasty. Even if I remembered that Japan during the Three Kingdoms period was called Yamatai in my previous life, these impressions are now very weak.  But Zhen Yao was still very clear about this piece of land, and immediately whispered: "Japan?"

    Nan Jiangmi didn't hear clearly what Zhen Yao said, but she didn't dare to ask more questions even if she had the guts to do so. Along the way, she had seen a lot and knew that the master in front of her was the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty, and that the Son of Heaven  The emperor is just a puppet.

    Nakami is no stranger to puppets, because the current head of Yamatai, the younger brother of Queen Himiko, is a puppet-like existence.  In Yamatai, the queen still has the highest status, and the younger brother of the king has to listen to her.

    "It turns out that the Japs are here. No wonder he looks so weird." Zhen Yao was silent in his heart. He became even more embarrassed when he knew who the other party was.  As a later time traveler, I hardly have a good impression of this nation.

    When Zhen Yao was young, he thought about bullying "Japan", but knowing that Japan was still in a slave society at that time, it was boring and he gave up the idea. Who would have thought that now, there would still be envoys from the island country coming to see him.

    Zhen Yao took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "I'm here as an envoy, why?"

    Nan Jiangmi bowed and said, "The Queen is envious when she learns that the countries of the Three Koreas have now become common people of the Celestial Dynasty. She has specially ordered ministers to come as envoys to entrust the country. She is willing to be the people of the Han Dynasty like the countries of the Three Koreas. Learn from it.  The literary etiquette of the Han Dynasty, the legal officials of the Han Dynasty."

    "Haha, you want to imitate my big man?" Zhen Yao touched his chin, as if he had seen something interesting, but he was sneering in his heart.  It seems that the queen of Yamatai is very capable. No wonder she can become the leader of a country with a female stream.

    If it is Goguryeo, Samhan and other places, it is not difficult to control them because they are connected by land.  But the island country is different. It is almost impossible to completely control it. This woman named "Himihu" has a very loud calculation.

    Thinking about the island country in the Tang Dynasty, just like now, they were professing vassalage on the surface, but in fact they wanted to learn various pioneering concepts and technologies of the Han people. Zhen Yao was not the Li Shimin who was so happy about his achievements, nor did he give the word "ÙÁ" to the island country to mean Wei and Japanese.  My friend Cao Pi would naturally not do such a thing.

    "If you want to be a commoner of my country, but the queen of Fei family is enough, just one word is enough. Let her come to see you by herself, bow three times when you meet the city, and kowtow nine times when you meet the mansion. Let's do this until Wuji." Zhen Yao was simply playing a trick.  Let the other person's thoughts go away casually and no longer pay attention to them.

    It is difficult for Jiangmi to have much intention, but every time he wanted to say something, he had to swallow it when he looked at Zhen Yao. Finally, he knelt down until half a cup of tea had passed before he nodded and left.

    Guo Jia knew that his lord had always disliked foreigners, but the other party greeted him in such a humble manner. Even if he didn't want to see him, he still had to give him some face, so as to show the kindness of the heaven.  But Zhen Yao still made the other party fall down with just one or two words, and had to ask in a low voice: "Master, why are you making things so difficult for a foreigner when he comes to court?"

    "Fengxiao, you must be clear that there is no kindness between countries in this world. Zhen Yao shook his head slowly, played with the jade cup in his hand, and said: "What is the use of a dog like this that is not well-raised?  "

    Guo Jia and Jia Xu were both speechless. Naturally, they did not know what Zhen Yao was thinking, but they themselves also looked down on these people who had transformed themselves from the wilderness. Naturally, they would not give them much sympathy, and they would no longer dwell on the matter.

    "My lord, the envoy has left, but the things he brought are still left behind." Zhen Yao was just about to continue discussing the current war with the two conspirators, when the guards of the palace came in and whispered.

    "Bring the thing in." Zhen Yao frowned, but finally did not throw it away.

    There are a lot of ¡®stuff¡¯, three big boxes, the lids are opened, there are some pottery from Yamatai, andClothing, but also aquatic products, sea shells, sea pearls and the like.

    These things may have been good luxuries to Yamatai, but to Zhen Yao, even if they were used by everyone in his house, they would probably find them dirty.  Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who originally looked expectantly, lost the slightest interest in these things. After all, the leader of a country brought these things with him when he came to pay homage to his lord.

    Of course, apart from these ¡®rags¡¯, what caught the eye were the ten pairs of men and women who followed the guards into the hall.  Among the ten pairs of men and women, five are boys and girls, while the other ten are boys and girls.

    "What is this? A human trafficker?" Zhen Yao looked at the ten people in front of him inexplicably, and he had no good impression of Yamatai.  Slavery is slavery, and it is not the least bit backward in thinking.

    "Take them all down and ask the envoy to take them back to me. I am not going to help him raise people." Zhen Yao waved his hands in annoyance, but when the islanders were about to cross the threshold, he said again: "  Leave a man and a woman behind and send the others back.¡±

    This idea was also a sudden thought of Zhen Yao. It may not be obvious now, but it may have some effect in the future.

    After the farcical summons, Zhen Yao and Jia Xu began to plan how to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the Cao family's territory. They talked like this until late at night. When the three of them were exhausted, they ate some midnight snacks and left separately.  .

    Zhen Yao slept peacefully that night, but in the embankment camp outside Jiangzhou City, a brutal fighting was going on.  It rained heavily. Zhang Jiao held a spear and fought with Wei Yan for a hundred meters in front of the embankment. Around him, less than half of the three thousand soldiers remained.

    Just as Zhang Jaw thought, Wenpin and Xu Shu also thought of a water attack strategy, and sent Wei Yan to seize the embankment and camp.  If Zhang Jiao had not arrived earlier with a few guards, the camp might have been occupied and the embankment destroyed at this moment.

    But in Jiangzhou, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded the city. Yan Yan on the top of the city saw it and said coldly: "Wenpin, how can we succeed in this plan? General Zhang is already waiting at the embankment camp. Go ahead."  A sneak attack will only lead to defeat."

    "Old general, don't be impatient. The war will be over soon." The reason why Wenpin brought people here was because he was worried that the soldiers and horses in the city would come out of the city to rescue him, so he already had an idea in his heart. As long as he could capture Jiangzhou's dike, he would do it.  It is worth it to destroy half of the tens of thousands of soldiers.  At least if we attack hard, thousands of people will definitely not be able to take Jiangzhou Jiancheng.

    Yan Yan also knew what was going on in Pin's heart, but even if he wanted to go out of the city for rescue, he had no chance. Besides, Zhang Zha had given instructions several times when he left the city that he only had to defend the city and not lead his troops out.

    The battle below Jiangzhou City is dragging on, but in the military camp, with only the open jaws of more than a thousand soldiers, facing more than half of his Jingzhou soldiers, he still looks calm, even though he has a stab wound on his arm.

    "Hold and wait until daybreak. The enemy soldiers will retreat on their own." Zhang Jia resisted Wei Yan and the soldiers around him, and at the same time encouraged his soldiers to prevent them from feeling fear and despair.

    "Humph, I can live until then." Wei Yan shouted coldly, and his knife and stabbing movements accelerated a bit.  Just as Zhang Jaw said, if his raid has no results by dawn the next day, it will be declared a failure. Wenpin and Xu Shu will begin an all-out attack on the city. By then, if he opens the dike, it will not be the river that is destroyed.  State, but his own troops outside the city.

    "How could I, Zhang Zha, lose to such generals!" As a general who followed Zhen Yao to conquer the world in the early days, Zhang Zha has been somewhat powerless in recent years and has not done anything earth-shattering, but it is undeniable that he is still  One of the few top warriors in the world.

    Facing a Jingzhou general whose name he had never heard of, his pride was completely aroused. He wanted to use the knife in his hand to tell everyone that he was not old. He was still the same Hejian who could defeat Yuan Shao's generals.  Courtyard pillars.

    The two of them were constantly fighting each other, with mud under their feet, mud and water mixed with blood splashing, and both generals were in a very embarrassed state.

    The surrounding soldiers were also uncomfortable. The Jingzhou soldiers were not used to the rear of Shu. Fighting in the heavy rain made it difficult for them to do their best.  The number of soldiers in Shuzhong was half less than that in Jingzhou, and they could not take advantage of this opportunity to counterattack, and the war was still tense.

    The longer the time dragged on, the more anxious Wei Yan felt. But the person who was more anxious than him was Wenpin, who was responsible for directing the siege.  He was already guessing whether Zhang Zha had secretly sent his soldiers and horses to the dike and water village, waiting for him to launch a sneak attack.

    Apart from this, Wenpin really couldn't figure out why after three hours, there was still no sound and no one reported the battle situation.  Wenpin's confidence had begun to waver, and he looked at Yan Yan at the top of the city with a gloomy expression.

    From midnight, until the sky turned white, when Wei Yan found that the soldiers around him fell one by one, he no longer had the numerical advantage, his action failed, and the rain alsoNever stopped.  Perhaps it was this rain that saved the entire Jiangzhou. If the climate in central Sichuan had not made the Jingzhou soldiers uncomfortable, they would not have been blocked in the camp by Zhang Jia and unable to move forward.

    "Withdraw!" Even though he knew that Zhang Jia had lost his strength, Wei Yan still ordered the withdrawal.  After exiting the dilapidated camp with his troops and horses, and looking back at Zhang Jiao, who was still holding his spear and looking directly at him, Wei Yan knew in his heart that he had lost today's battle.

    "General, general." Wei Yan led the soldiers away, but Zhang Jia still maintained an upright posture and did not move. When the soldiers on the side stepped forward to support him and whispered softly, Zhang Jia's eyes were slightly closed, but he fell down directly.

    "The general has fainted. Someone come quickly and help the general to enter the account." The soldiers who finally survived the disaster exploded their nest again, and they fainted with their jaws open. They were completely at a loss.

    He fell down after opening his jaw. When he woke up, it was already midnight on the second day. The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Wu Yi.

    "Where is this?" He opened his jaw and squinted his eyes, asking in confusion.

    "He weighs three swords, one of which is more than an inch deep. If the soldiers hadn't stopped the blood and brought him back to the city, he would have done it now." Wu Yi shook his head and sighed, his words were full of admiration. If it were him, he would not be able to do this.  Just order it.

    He was injured. In fact, he could feel it clearly without Wu Yi. He immediately shook his head and sighed: "I never thought that I would fight all my life, but at the hands of a gargle, I was injured so badly. Cough cough cough cough."

    Wu Yi smiled and agreed: "Speak less and just rest here. Yan Yan is already guarding the embankment. There are abundant troops, horses and food in the city. I understand that Jingzhou soldiers will not be able to capture the city. After a little time, they will inevitably retreat.  .¡±

    Now that he was seriously injured, it was difficult to even get up in a short period of time. What else could he do? He opened his jaw and nodded slightly, and could only close his eyes and rest.

    Zhang Jia was seriously injured, and Wei Yan returned with a sullen face after withdrawing his troops and returning to the camp. As soon as he came back, he sued Xu Shu and Wen.  If it had been Zhuge Liang, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape this crime, but Xu Shu and Wenpin looked at each other and just shook their heads with a wry smile.  Wei Yan was covered in mud and blood. Do you want him to die?  Man proposes, God disposes!

    The heavy rain still hasn¡¯t stopped. This has been a heavy rain for nearly ten months. With no chance to attack the city by surprise, Wenpin simply closed the camp and stopped leaving the camp. He waited for the heavy rain to pass before thinking of a way to capture the city.

    The war in Jiangzhou has come to an end for the time being, and the war in the Central Plains has just been ignited.  Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren have already led their troops to Wancheng.  After meeting with Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu, he immediately began to prepare for the expedition.

    "General, there is an urgent message from Jizhou." The so-called urgent message is an urgent message that can be sent tens of thousands of miles within two days, using the manpower and horses of all states and counties.  Zhang Liao did not dare to neglect and immediately took the letter and walked into the room to read it with Zhang Fei and others.

    The content of the letter was not much. It only said that the four generals were asked to go south to attack Xiangyang and that they must do their best to capture the city.  This letter came very inexplicably. Zhang Liao and the other two looked at me, but they couldn't figure out the reason.

    "Since your lord has given you such an order, we will use all our strength to capture the city." Zhang Fei couldn't stand it at first and shouted: "Wen Yuan, your lord has appointed this battle general." How can we fight!  Should we send troops now or tomorrow?  "

    Zhang Fei didn't look like a lieutenant. Fortunately, it wasn't the first day that Zhang Liao met Zhang Fei. Knowing that this guy had such a temper, he nodded and said: "The troops, horses, food and equipment are all ready, and we will leave tomorrow."  General Zhang Ren led his troops out of the city first and escorted the grain and grass southward. The two of us led the army and followed closely behind, approaching Xiangyang. Zhang Xiu stayed in the city to garrison."

    Zhen Yao wants to take Xiangyang?  That's for sure, but not right now.  But he still issued this edict, naturally to confuse some people.  Because if you want to confuse outsiders, the first thing you have to do is confuse yourself.  To make Cao Cao not suspicious, or just suspicious but not sure, the movements and goals of Zhang Fei and the four others are particularly crucial.

    The dispatch of Nanyang soldiers and horses affected the hearts of the Cao and Liu families, especially Cao Cao, who was almost convinced that Zhen Yao was going to attack him.  But as news came one after another from his men's sentries, he couldn't help but wonder, was Zhen Yao really implementing the plan of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao" in order to resolve the war in central Sichuan?

    Compared to Cao Cao, Liu Pan, who stayed in Xiangyang, was much more nervous.  There are not many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, but there are fully 20,000 soldiers sent out to pretend to attack Jiangxia. Huang Zhong in Changsha still has tens of thousands of soldiers stationed, plus the soldiers and horses who went to Xishu, there are not many battles in Xiangyang City at the moment.  Stronger.  When he learned that Nanyang's troops were marching south and Zhang Fei from Chang'an was coming to help, Liu Pan was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat.

    "Kong Ming, what should we do now? There are only more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in the city, how can we resist the tens of thousands of enemy soldiers?" Since Liu Pan became the lord, the courage he had in those days has also dissipated, and what he does and says becomes more and more serious.  He looks more and more like his uncle Liu Biao.

    Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed: "My lord, this is a critical moment. As long as Yuan Zhi takes Western Shu, the enemy troops will retreat. As forIt is not yet known whether the enemy below is coming to capture Xiangyang. The Lord only needs to encourage the soldiers in the military camp. It is useless to think too much.  "

    Liu Pan could only use Zhuge's words to comfort himself, praying that Wenpin and Xu Shu could capture Chengdu earlier, but he didn't know that Wenpin was also at a deadlock now, waiting for him to dispatch grain and grass from Guangling to keep the war going.

    There are always more people in the world who are unwilling to be lonely. Zhen Yao and Liu Biao are making so much noise. As an old neighbor of Jingzhou, how can Jiang Dong not step forward and get involved.  No, Liu Pan had just received the news that Nanyang soldiers and horses were heading south the day before, and the next day he received news that they were coming to Changsha. Jiangdong soldiers and horses had attacked Guiyang and Lingling separately, and had already surrounded Changsha.

    Outside Changsha City, the old general Huang Zhong was fighting with Ling Tong with a broadsword in his hand. Before that, Huang Zhong had already fought with Ding Feng. Although he won, he also spent a lot of energy.

    Facing Ling Tong, who was a level stronger than Ding Feng and whose fighting style was more fierce and faster, Huang Zhong's sword could not keep up with the speed.  If you don't rely on experience and eyesight to defend your body, you will inevitably be defeated by the enemy general.

    The old man and the young and strong Ling Tong were more durable, so they were obviously at a disadvantage. Huang Zhong was also secretly thinking about changing his tactics.  He had some concerns in his heart, so he forced Ling Tong to pull his horse back half a step with a horizontal slash, then turned the horse's head and ran back.

    Ling Tong saw that Huang Zhong finally had enough and was about to retreat, so he immediately chased after him. This was also because he had little experience and was not familiar with various tactics on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong hooked the bow and arrow on the horse's belly with his right foot.  He bent down to catch an arrow, and when he turned around, he shot an arrow.

    With a "swish" sound, the arrows were flying with a sound of breaking through the air. Ling Tong was only two steps away from Huang Zhong. It was impossible to escape calmly. He could only turn his body slightly and stare at the people who were getting closer and closer to him.  Flying arrow.

    "Crack" The arrow flew past Ling Tong's right ear, bringing with it a lot of black threads and making the back of Ling Tong's ear hurt. He subconsciously touched it with his right hand, and when he opened it again, there was a trace of blood red.

    "Old thief, I'm going to take your head!" Ling Tong was really angry when he was suddenly plotted and almost lost his life.  Holding the hind arm of the war horse with his right hand, he spurred the horse and cursed angrily.
