Chapter 708 The Message of Spring

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Tokyo is celebrated, and Hebei’s victory reports are talking everywhere.

The official edict issued an announcement was that the Zhou and Liao army fought a large-scale decisive battle near Zhuozhou, and the Zhou army won and defeated the Liao army!The Liao army retreated to Youzhou and was unable to fight again. The remnants of the defeated general fled north.

This statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is barely true. The main force of the Liao army did retreat in Zhuozhou.The Zhou army was mainly infantry and did not form an annihilation war.

The main reason is that the real strategic victory cannot be explained. If it is described, the Zhou army defended the defense line, leaving the Liao army ineffective. After many days of confrontation, the Liao army retreated to the grassland due to logistics food and grass pressure and was not very excited!

Moreover, the significance of this battle is far more than just allowing the Liao army to retreat voluntarily, so only the people in Guo Shao's circle understand the truth.

...The spring breeze melted the ice and snow, and the willow branches on both sides of the Bian River have sprouted.The good news in Hebei is floating in Tokyo like the news of spring.

At this time, several big cannibals in silk cloth were looking at the surrounding scenery curiously.

And the pedestrians and the people also looked at them strangely.

It is said that there were many people in Luoyang and other places in the Tang Dynasty, and business transactions were endless. However, for so many years after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, people from Semen were rarely seen in the Central Plains. Occasionally, people from Tubo, Dangxiang, Khitan and other tribes appeared, but their appearance was not as big as those of Semen.

The leader of a group of big cannibals was Shuaiman. A tall and thirty-year-old man with thick hair and curly beards on his mouth. His name has nothing to do with handsomeness, and his pronunciation is a bit like Sha'er. If he says it soon, it will be like Shuaiman.

There was a look of wonder on his face.

When I walked from Xingwang Mansion, I had already seen the magnitude and prosperity of Zhongtu City when I settled in the inns of the big cities everywhere, and the population of the city far exceeded their previous experience.

Now when I arrived in Tokyo, I was attracted by the magnificent city towers, exquisite and beautiful pavilions, and waterside pavilions. There were many people on the streets and alleys, and countless shops were available.

Shuaiman looked dazzled.

There are many noble people here, and the demand for luxury goods must be very high.The Great Zhou Kingdom is a huge commercial treasure!The handsome man said in big sacred words with the people who were traveling with him, and his face was very excited.

The civil servants who received them did not speak the language of the big food, and the entire Tokyo court could not find officials who could speak the big food, which was the reason why they had been going on for many years.

Only the Chinese translator whom the great cannibals himself can understand it.

The civil servant didn't know what they said, so he said politely: I will take the nobles to the inn to rest later. You must take a shower and change your clothes, because tomorrow morning, Empress Duanci will meet you in person.

The Han man next to him was as if he had pinched his nose and had not melted.

Shuai Man nodded to the civil servant and replied.

I also asked myself the Han hiring Lu Yongzhen: In the past, the emperors of the Southern Han Dynasty also lived in the deep palace, and most people could not see it, but I had seen a woman from the palace.Does Middle Earth like to use women to take power?

Lu Yongzhen said: That is a unique thing in the Southern Han Kingdom. This is not the case in the Central Plains countries.The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is now fighting against the Great Liao Kingdom in the north. I heard that he won a battle; he is not in the palace now, so he let the queen's sister, Emperor Duanci, later regent.

It is a very respected etiquette that Shuai Man can be personally received by Empress Duanci.It seems that we will not have any trouble when we come to Tokyo this time.

Shuaiman was very happy after hearing this, but also a little confused: Why did the emperor want the queen's sister to be regent, rather than the queen?

Lu Yongzhen looked embarrassed and couldn't answer with a word.

Shuaiman was very curious: Could it be that both the queen and sisters married the Emperor of the Great Zhou at the same time?

Lu Yongzhen waved his hand quickly: You can't say that!He looked back at the civil servant, fortunately no one in Tokyo could understand what we were talking about, otherwise it would be a tragic thing to say!

Lu Yongzhen frowned and thought for a while. Perhaps because the Emperor of Great Zhou appointed people based on their merits and his sister's talent was better than the queen, so the emperor was relieved to hand over the country's affairs to Queen Duanci.All are relatives anyway.

Shuai Man was confused and shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, indicating that she was difficult to understand. There was a queen, but what happened to the queen's sister?

Lu Yongzhen said again: Mr. Shuaiman should stop saying that marrying the queen sisters is completely incompatible with the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty.The sister is the wife of the late emperor, and the late emperor is the cousin of the current emperor; in the Central Plains, brothers cannot marry their sister-in-law!

Shuaiman nodded quickly and said: When I settle down, I will record the royal family affairs and the experiences of the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a painter with me.

Lu Yongzhen smiled and said: Since Empress Duanci has summoned you personally, there will be a next chance.

The civil servant asked Lu Yongzhen what the big cannibals were saying. Of course, Lu Yongzhen did not dare to say that he was talking about the royal family, but said: The big cannibals Shuaiman said that Tokyo is very rich and is a treasure land full of business opportunities.

After hearing this, the civil servants were quite proud. When they heard that the Gentiles praised their capital, they would inexplicably feel a light on their faces.

The civil servant said kindly: When you meet Empress Duanci tomorrow, you should be respectful in your manners, because you are from a foreign country and are not my subjects, you don’t have to kneel down.You should pay attention to your words. You don’t need to say anything important. You will teach them at a time and memorize them. If you want to talk about important things, you will have your own envoy to visit the Ministry of Revenue and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to discuss them.

Lu Yongzhen said: Thank you, Alang for your reminder.The grass people explained this clearly to the cannibal.

The group rode along the Imperial Street to the south of the Imperial City, and the ceremony hall was here.

Shuai Man once again stared at the grandeur of the imperial city. The buildings in Dazhou were not as tall as those of Dashi, but occupied a very wide area.

On the magnificent city tower, the warriors wearing strong and holding sharp edges stood there motionlessly, with a very strict garrison.

When they arrived at the Liguan Pavilion, officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty treated the envoys of the Great Food as envoys of the state, and the specifications were very high.

Shuaiman ate very fine and delicious food, and the porcelain containing the food is also a fine product of the official kiln. If it is shipped to Dashi, these porcelains will be of great value.

There are also the curtains, bed tents and quilts in the house, which are exquisite silk that can be sold at a high price in Shuaiman's eyes.

Everyone was very happy. Man Shuai checked the gifts he brought to the Emperor of the Great Zhou, some plant seeds, hats made of precious bird feathers, gold utensils, and a sharp sword to play with.

Shuaiman picked up the treasure knife and looked at it, and said: This is a special place that can only be made of iron, and it has little to do with the craftsmanship. Giving it to the emperor is also a rare thing.

A person accompanying him said: The officials of Zhou State are very nice to us. If they hadn't been warmly welcomed, how could we dare to go so far to the capital of Middle-earth?
