Han Dao world

The storm passed, and the ship was safe and sound.

However, Wang Jiang was ill. She was frightened and dizzy, fell ill, groggy, and had a low-grade fever.

By the time he was able to hold himself up, the boat had already arrived at Zhongshan Country and entered the mouth of the Eastern Han River.

After deliberation, the big river running across Zhongshan was named the East Han River, opposite to the West Han River in Yizhou.Under Wang Jiang's order, Qin Mi, who first met Zhongshan Dianke Zhuge Jin, was particularly moved when he saw the big river.

This realized that although the sea that passed by not long ago was rough and rough, it was still within the territory of the Han Dynasty, no different from the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

The two met and greeted each other.Knowing that Wang Jiang fell ill due to seasickness, Zhuge Jin couldn't help laughing.

"Da Honglu has worked hard. At this age, he should sit in the capital. It is better to leave these traveling for thousands of miles to young people." Zhuge Jin looked at Qin Mi with great enthusiasm. "Qin Jun is young and promising, and the future can be expected."

It was the first time for him to meet Qin Mi, but he had already heard the story of Qin Mi, and knew that he was an eloquent talent.It's just that the news I received before was that Qin Mi was a minister, but now he became an official of Dahonglu Temple for some reason.

Qin Mi also knew that Zhuge Jin was Zhuge Liang's elder brother, and he was very grateful for Zhuge Jin's wishes.

Some words, although the two did not explain, they have the same feeling.

The Son of Heaven sent Wang Jiang to Zhongshan this time, with the intention of making Wang Jiang feel interesting and take the initiative to ask her to leave.

These veterans are loyal, but their ideas and abilities really cannot keep up with the changes of the times. Taking the initiative to resign is the best choice.

Qin Mi immediately explained the purpose of coming.

This time, Da Honglu was specially sent here to find out how many people in Zhongshan who were supposed to be exiled overseas but quietly returned to the Central Plains, and who were involved.

Those people were all guilty of treason. The emperor exiled them overseas, and later pardoned some of them for their merits, but they were not allowed to return to the Central Plains. Others were no different from ordinary people.These people don't know how to be grateful, and they sneak back secretly. What do they think of the court's laws?

Zhuge Jin told Qin Mi that the Zhongshan Kingdom was also investigating this matter, but the generals were scattered in various places, and it would take a while to find out.As far as King Zhongshan himself is concerned, he also opposes these things, and he hopes that everyone can develop with peace of mind and not covet the stability of the original land.

The stability of the Central Plains is not born like this, but has been bought through countless hardships. Why do you only want to enjoy the legacy of the predecessors, but refuse to leave some legacy for your descendants?
If everyone only cares about enjoyment and refuses to bear the pain of overcoming thorns and thorns, when will Chinese clothes spread all over the world.

After hearing this, Qin Mi expressed appreciation, but at the same time was worried.

He asked Zhuge Jin, can King Zhongshan control the Yuan Xi brothers and the generals of Jizhou?

Zhuge Jin showed a helpless wry smile.

In the process of Liu Bei's expedition to Sanhan and the establishment of Zhongshan Kingdom, the Yuan Xi brothers and their subordinate Wenwu made a lot of contributions.Although due to their guilt, their official titles are not as good as Liu Bei's monarchs and ministers, but their strength should not be underestimated.

After Liu Bei founded the country, he wanted to strengthen the defense of the capital, and the main force could not go on an expedition easily. The task of continuing to conquer the south was entrusted to Brother Yuan Xi.

In addition to Zhang He, Gao Lan and others from Jizhou, some Qingxu people from Liaodong also chose to follow Brother Yuan Xi, which made it even more difficult to distinguish the strength of the two sides. Somewhat powerless.

Most of those who sneaked back to the Central Plains were in Yuan Xi's army, and Liu Bei couldn't control them at all.

"But these are all temporary." Zhuge Jin changed the subject, and said again: "The establishment of the country should be based on agriculture, and the best cultivated land in Sanhan is in Zhongshan, but the establishment of the country is still short and the development is limited. Wait a few years, Zhongshan has a solid foundation and sufficient soldiers and food, so it will naturally regain its advantage."

Qin Mi nodded and said nothing more.

After discussing the relevant ceremony, Qin Mi reported back to Wang Jiang, and Zhuge Jin reported back to Liu Bei, ready to welcome the ceremony.

First send Zhuge Jin to contact him, just to let the envoys from the court know his difficulties, so as not to embarrass him and lose face in front of the ministers.

After the meeting between the two parties, Liu Bei was very enthusiastic, and he received the news and gave gifts, so that everyone who accompanied Wang Jiang's mission was all smiles.

Only Qin Mi was calmer and reminded Wang Jiang several times to ask Liu Bei for the map of Zhongshan Kingdom.

As a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, Zhongshan State had the obligation to contribute maps to the imperial court.It's just because Zhongshan was newly built and everything was done in the first place, so I didn't ask for it immediately.More than half a year has passed now, and it is impossible to justify not giving.

With short hands and a soft mouth, Wang Jiang didn't want to force it, but under Qin Mi's reminder, he had to formally notify Liu Bei that it was not in line with the imperial court system not to contribute the map.If you do this, you will fail the emperor's high hopes.

When mentioning the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei didn't dare to refuse any more, and took out a map with the strength of the troops marked.

Seeing the map, not only Qin Mi, but even Wang Jiang, who was not familiar with military affairs, realized the problem.

There are two plains suitable for farming in Sanhan, one is the water valley of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is the current location of Zhongshan Kingdom, and the other is in the south, which is where the Yuan Xi brothers are stationed.

In fact, the Yuan Xi brothers already have the geographical basis to compete with Liu Bei.Liu Bei said that he would be able to control the situation in a few years, even if he did not intend to deceive the emperor, it is also suspected of wishful thinking.

If one considers the unconquered Japanese islands on the opposite side of the Narrow Sea, it is very likely that Yuan Xi will turn his back on the hostiles.

No wonder so many Qingxu scholars gave up Liu Bei and chose to follow Brother Yuan Xi.

Qin Mi felt that she should not be underestimated, and suggested that Wang Jiang immediately report this issue to the emperor, and the emperor would make the final decision.

It was the emperor's decision to let Liu Bei establish a country overseas. Now that Liu Bei encounters difficulties, he can only ask the emperor for help.Relying on Liu Bei's own strength alone, he is definitely not the opponent of the Yuan Xi brothers.In the event of a conflict between the two sides, Liu Bei would be defeated by the Yuan Xi brothers, and the emperor would lose face.

While waiting for the court's reply, Qin Mi was not idle.He took the initiative to ask for an order to go to Yuan Xijun to take a look and conduct a field investigation.

Wang Jiang readily agreed, and gave Qin Mi the title of deputy envoy.When necessary, Qin Mi could represent him and act as the envoy of the Son of Heaven to issue orders to the Yuan Xi brothers.

Qin Mi embarked on the journey with several followers.

In order to ensure his safety, Liu Bei arranged for Zhao Zhao to lead a hundred riders to protect Qin Mi.

Half a month later, Qin Mi rushed to the southern tip of the peninsula, entered a river valley, and saw Yuan Xi's camp, which was vast and vast, and could not be seen at a glance.

Qin Mi looked back at Qianzhao.

Qianzhao's expression changed dramatically, he hesitated to speak, even the mount under his crotch felt a little uneasy, and snorted a few times.

The scale of the big camp seen before him not only exceeded the number reported by Yuan Xi, but also exceeded his expectations.Judging from this, Yuan Xi now has at least [-] horses, which is more than twice that of Liu Bei.If he wants to counterattack Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei is prepared, he won't be able to resist for long.

"Anti-client is the main thing. This Yuan family is really anti-bond by nature." Qin Mi said calmly.
