In the side hall of Jinxiang Hall, Guo Shao sat on the imperial throne on the base, with only the eunuch Cao Tai beside him.At the next head was also standing with a small-eyed old minister Wang Pu.

The envoy of the Northern Han Kingdom was brought here in a short while.At this time, there were not many people in the hall. It was not the etiquette of formally receiving foreign envoys, but the Emperor of Great Zhou summoned him privately.

Guo Shao had already known this person in advance that he was the official of the Privy Council of the Northern Han Dynasty and was named Li Xin.

Guo Shao sat in a high position and knew the people coming in at a glance.

Middle-aged people have steady steps and vertical lines between their eyebrows, which look very calm... But such people always give people a feeling of being worried and heavier.

Li Xin bowed and bowed, but did not kneel down.

Guo Shao didn't care, because the Northern Han lord also called himself the emperor, and the other party recognized his own emperor, not the Emperor of the Great Zhou. If we want to talk about the day when the sky is gone, there should be only one emperor in the world, then there is no need to talk about other things. The dispute will begin on this etiquette alone.

Wang Pu looked at him slightly, but didn't say anything.

In the next Li Xin, I pay homage to the Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Li Xindao.

The title made Guo Shao very unhappy, and the signs of discord between the two countries were very obvious.

But Guo Shao was too lazy to talk about such things, so he avoided the greetings and said directly: I heard that there was a general named Yang Ye in the Northern Han State, known as "Yang Wudi", and he was a powerful general of the Northern Han State.Did Envoy Li hear about it?

Li Xin said calmly: I am a minister of the Great Han (Northern Han) below, and I know the generals of this dynasty.Our dynasty generals are like clouds, and General Yang is one of them.

Guo Shao couldn't help but smile: The difference between the strength and size of the Great Zhou and Northern Han countries is too obvious, so it doesn't have to be overwhelmed, and the people in the world know it.Let’s not talk about the powerful generals of the Northern Han Kingdom for now, just talk about Yang Ye, who has a brother named...

Wang Pu replied: His name is Yang Chongxun, now he is a defensive envoy of our dynasty.This person surrendered to the Great Zhou for the second time in the fourth year of Xiande. Our dynasty did not care about past grudges and was still appointed as the defensive envoy.

Guo Shao said: By the way, Yang Ye is a general of the Northern Han Kingdom.But the brothers went back and forth and finally returned to the Great Zhou.Envoy Li thought, what does the Yang family mean?

Li Xin was stunned and was thinking about how to answer.

Guo Shao said: I summoned the envoy here, and there was nothing irrelevant around me, and I also avoided those disputes of etiquette for face.My words and envoy Li were both straightforward words.Yang Chongxun stayed in Dazhou, and the Yang family bet a treasure here; the so-called pile of eggs cannot be put in a basket.What is the situation between the two countries now? Why do you need to cover up your ears and steal the bell?Everyone wants to get out of here, what does the messenger Li think?

Li Xindao: I am unwilling to talk to my colleagues, nor do I agree with the judgment of the Great Zhou king.

When Guo Shao heard that he was not very fierce, he advised him kindly: Now the Northern Han Kingdom is a broken ship with water leaks everywhere. What is Li's envoy still staying on that ship? Why not prepare as soon as possible? Wouldn’t it be a wise move to surrender to the Great Zhou now?

Li Xin clasped his fists and said: Here are the ministers of the Han Dynasty. Now, as an envoy to diplomatic relations between the two countries, he has finally finally ruled and abides by his duties. He hopes that the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou can treat each other with the courtesy of the envoy.

After hearing this, Guo Shao stopped persuading and said: Everyone has their own aspirations, I will not force them.However, the officials, civilians and people of the Great Zhou and Northern Han were all from the same clan and clan. The ones who had hatred were the monarchs of the two countries, the Guo family and the Liu family; the subjects of the two countries had no hatred, so what kind of hatred could their own people have?

After you go back, let me talk a little about your colleagues who are in love with you. When the Great Zhou army invades Jinyang, please keep some mercy or contact me. I am the name of benevolence and righteousness and will definitely treat you well.

Li Xindao: I can’t obey my destiny.The trip was for the assassination of the evil men sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty in the capital a while ago.

I shouldn't have talked to you about this.Guo Shao said, with the rank of the envoy Li, the officials of the envoy from the provincial government will discuss with you.You can talk to the court officials, and take this to see if the two countries can negotiate peace.

Wang Pu said: The Emperor of Great Zhou is able to summon the envoy Li in his own way through the daily affairs, which is very important to you.

Li Xin immediately bowed politely with his fists and said: Say goodbye next.

After Li Xin left, Guo Shao also stood up and left the side hall, and went to the room where he usually met with the civil and military ministers.

When I received the envoy without any time, I said something, and the sun had just risen.

When it comes to the local area, important figures from the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, the Palace Front Office, and the Guards of the Mabu are already waiting there.

Guo Shao is different here. His position is not in a very high place and he deliberately prevents the people below from looking at him. In this hall, although Guo Shao is in the upper position, he is not at a disadvantage with everyone. He currently needs to maintain a relatively close and trusted relationship with important ministers.

Everyone stopped communicating with each other and stood up to bow first.

After Guo Shao took his seat, he called them to get up and sit down, and said directly: That Li Xin, I couldn't find any connection for him.He seemed unwilling to take the risk of opening the city gate, so it seemed that he could only give up.It is said that Yang Ye is a general of the Northern Han Kingdom. Can he let his younger brother deliver a letter?

Wang Pu said: Northern Han must be prepared for something, and the chances are probably very small.However, the old minister could send someone to see Yang Chongxun and ask him.

Guo Shao turned to look at the general, his eyes stayed on Li Chuyun's face.His daughter had just been named the Imperial Concubine, and he was also the Imperial Guard General... But he became even more humble and seemed very low-key and silent recently.

Li Chuyun noticed Guo Shao's sign and hurriedly said: The Northern Han Kingdom has few soldiers. The Battle of Gaoping and Jinyang both caused great damage to his vitality. Now there is no suspense of victory or defeat when he fights against him head-on; the difficulty is indeed in Jinyang City.This city is a powerful city, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Great Zhou can seek internal response, you will be sure to win this battle.

I think so too.Guo Shao said, but how do you find this inner support?

Everyone looked at each other, no one could do anything.

Guo Shao thought to himself: If there were a group of high-quality spies who could win the uprising and surrender to important enemy figures like in modern and modern wars... As long as there was one who could open the city gate, the war in the Northern Han Kingdom would be like taking a picture.

Only then did Guo Shao realize that the role of intelligence organizations at critical moments is indeed great!

In his mind, he recalled the scene of Chai Rong's army besieging Jinyang City a few years ago, and the tragic casualties on the city wall.

A key detailed work can reduce the loss of life and the consumption of national strength.

Guo Shao glanced at Wang Pu, but didn't say this for the time being.

The affairs of the Military and Caosi were also secret within the court, and the Political Affairs Hall and the military generals did not participate. He decided to talk to Wang Pu and Jingniang about this matter later.

We need to carefully arrange a long-term undercover plan and a short-term scout to spy on specific situations.

How to attack Jinyang City, you must first be prepared.Guo Shao spoke, if you have any good methods, you can write to a letter and talk about it.
