Chapter 190 What Is There To Be Afraid Of?
After eating the barbecue, Shi Yuan stood under the city gate and waited again. Finally, when it was getting dark, the gate of Yanmen Pass was opened.
A middle-aged man with a feather fan and a scarf came out.
After seeing the person coming, Shi Yuan hurriedly stepped forward: "Who is the person coming? I am going to be an envoy to the Xiongnu according to His Majesty's order. You are so negligent, what should I do?"
Good guy, it's starting to act like a tiger again.
"Master Shi made atonement, Kong Ming was entangled in business affairs, and he was disappointed, but I still hope Master Shi will forgive you." Kong Ming held his feather fan and arched his cupped hands at Shi Yuan.
Although Kong Ming is a third-rank martial artist, he is a literati after all, and he still pays attention to basic manners.
But after hearing Kong Ming's self-introduction, Shi Yuan, who was about to get angry, immediately acted like a deflated ball.
There is no way, he has heard this name in the court before.
One of the most famous people in Daqin nowadays.
Except for Lu Qi, the names of Kong Ming, Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun are known to everyone, and everyone knows them.
But this is because he was ignorant, when he left the capital, Guo Jia and the others hadn't appeared yet.
So he didn't know the existence of Guo Jia and the others.
But even so, the names of Guo Jia and the others were known to Baishou and the big family of Jingdu Road who attended the banquet that day. 543
Outsiders don't know.
But Kong Ming is different from Lu Bu.
After the two regained Yanmen Pass, other places dare not say it, at least in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, it can be said that they have long been famous all over the world.
"So it's Mr. Wolong, I'm being polite." Shi Yuan hurriedly bowed, not daring to make any excuses.
Kong Ming smiled and said: "Your Majesty Shi, you are welcome. Kong Ming has already prepared a reception banquet. Your Excellency, please enter the city quickly."
Hearing this, Shi Yuan suddenly felt that the barbecue he ate just now was not tasty at all.
If he had known that there would be a reception banquet, why would he bother to exchange a jade pendant worth 10,000 taels for that barbecue meal.
Heartache!
But Kong Ming invited him, and he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction.
Although Kong Ming only served as a military adviser at Yanmen Pass, anyone who is not a fool knows that this is only temporary.
When he returns to Kyoto in the future, Lu Qi will definitely use him again.
This is a third rank warrior.
There are not many in the whole world.
Following Kong Ming into Yanmen Pass, the soldiers and civilians along the way did not look like they had been devastated by the flames of war.
The whole pass is full of prosperity.
However, Shi Yuan was a little surprised that the imperial guards who escorted him seemed to be very familiar with the defenders of Yanmen Pass (ahch).
Shi Yuan was very puzzled about this.
"Mr. Wolong, I wonder if General Lu is in the pass?" Shi Yuan asked.
Whether it is about Kong Ming or Lu Bu, he is very curious.
After all, these two repelled the existence of the Huns' million-strong army by themselves.
Kong Ming smiled and said, "General Lu is now in Cangya Mountain, not in the pass."
"Cangya Mountain?" Shi Yuan was puzzled.
Kong Ming smiled and said: "Master Shi probably doesn't know yet, just today, Marquis Wen has regained Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, captured Cangya City, occupied Cangya Mountain, and now the Huns have been driven back to Cangya by us." North of Cliff Mountain."
Hearing this, Yu Yuan felt like thunder was ringing in his ears.
Youyun Sixteen States!
That is the Sixteen States of Youyun!
The Sixteen States of Youyun, which had been lost by the Song Dynasty for fifty years.
It was taken back?
And it only took a month!
"Is what Mr. Wolong said true?" Shi Yuan asked in an unbelievable tone.
Kong Ming said: "Of course it is true. If Mr. Shi doesn't believe it, you can go to Cangya Mountain to have a look. Anyway, Cangya Mountain is the only way to go when you are going to the Xiongnu."
At this moment, Shi Yuan finally believed that Kong Ming was not lying to him, and the thoughts in his heart were filled with mixed feelings.
The defeat in the Battle of Cangya Mountain that year broke the backbone of the Song Dynasty, as well as the backbone of the court officials.
In the past fifty years, in the minds of hundreds of officials, the Huns have almost become synonymous with invincibility.
But now, they not only took back Yanmen Pass, but also took back Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and drove the Xiongnu back to the north of Cangya Mountain.
Such great achievements will definitely be recorded in the annals of history.
At this moment, the broken spine actually showed signs of being reconnected.
Shi Yuan admits that he is not a good official.
He has also been greedy for a lot of money, and searched for a lot of people's fat and anointing.
But no matter how bad an official is, he will inevitably have a sense of identity and a sense of honor for certain things in his heart.
Some things are engraved in the bones of the people of Kyushu.
Not to mention fifty years, even five Hundred Years, five Thousand Years cannot be forgotten.
At this moment, Shi Yuan felt as if a fire had been ignited in his heart.
Regarding Lu Qi's intention to let him go to the Xiongnu, he finally stopped complaining, but aroused a great deal of honor.
At the same time, he suddenly thought in his heart.
Will he be recorded in the annals of history as the first official to go to the Xiongnu as an envoy to the Xiongnu after recovering the sixteen prefectures of Youyun?
No need to deny it.
The answer is must.
If he did a good job on this errand, I am afraid that not only will he be recorded in the annals of history, but his name will be left in history, right?
That's a name left in history.
The greatest honor of being an official.
For a time, the mentality of playing has undergone unprecedented changes.
Shi Yuan raised his hands cupped fist, and bowed deeply to Kong Ming: "My servant, on behalf of the people of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and the souls of the past fifty years, thank you Mr. Wolong and Marquis Wen!"
Not to mention whether Shi Yuan is qualified to say this, but his attitude is good anyway.
Kong Ming next to him watched Shi Yuan's changes, nodded in satisfaction, and thought silently in his heart.
"Is that right? You went to the Xiongnu to collect debts for the lord. No matter how you say it, it also represents the face of the lord. If you go there in a submissive manner [wouldn't it make the Huns look down on the lord.
Is the co-author Kong Ming waiting for Shi Yuan here?
Sure enough, the heart of playing tactics is dirty.
Shi Yuan would never have imagined that the change in his mentality had long been expected by Kong Ming.
Rest at Yanmen Pass for two days.
The officers and soldiers of the imperial army did not return to Kyoto directly after completing their tasks.
Instead, they lived in Yanmen Pass.
They are going to wait for Shi Yuan to come back here.
Live or die.
As for Shi Yuan, he followed a group of Yanmenguan soldiers and continued to head north.
On the way, Shi Yuan saw the recovered cities of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and at the same time, his sense of mission in his heart became stronger and stronger.
After arriving in Cangya City, his sense of mission has reached its peak.
But he still didn't see Lu Bu.
Because at this time Lu Bu had already killed to the depths of the grassland.
Without staying longer in Cangya City, Shi Yuan bid farewell to the guards and soldiers, and then walked towards the court of the Huns alone.
Lu Qi only let him go as an envoy to the Huns alone.
Before that, he must have started to think of a way to escape.
Even surrender to the Huns is possible.
But after seeing the current scene of Youyun Sixteen States and Cangya Mountain, he was no longer afraid.
He is the envoy of Daqin.
Behind him are millions of soldiers from the Great Qin Dynasty.
Backed by Lu Fengxian and third-rank powerhouses like Zhuge Kongming.
He represents the face of the Great Qin Emperor.
What is there to be afraid of just turning into barbarians?
