Chapter 51 Messenger

Three days later.

When the morning light entered the south room of the Prince's Mansion in the north of Zhenbei, Su Yuan was already sitting at the head of the bed.

It was almost a ceremonial gesture for him.

What ceremony?Naturally, it is a summoning ceremony.

He was somewhat casual from the first call, and every time he called after that, he sat on the head of the bed, maintaining a comfortable posture and a peaceful state of mind.

In the previous calls, he would still be nervous, expecting, and uneasy.

But since the release of "Plum Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" and "Catapult", he has calmed down.

Anyway, anything can be summoned, so there is no need to think too much, the summoning is over.

Holding the Heavenly Soldiers Talisman, Su Yuan made his fifth summon after a week.

The light curtain changed for a while, and the words appeared.

[Successful Summoning: Obtained Ten Envoys]

messenger……?
Even though Su Yuan was mentally prepared, he was still a little dazed when he saw the words appearing on the light curtain.

【messenger】

Main Battle Type: Diplomatic Negotiation

Equipment: none
Quantity: 10
Remarks: "One person's debate is more important than the treasure of Jiuding. A three-inch tongue is better than a million teachers."

……

Ten messengers...

Su Yuan scratched his long hair, not knowing what to do to make a good expression.

Does he really need an emissary now?

It seems that it would be good to lead the army all the way to crush it...

But then again, Sun Tzu said that the highest state of war is to surrender without fighting.It would actually be a good thing if the opponent could surrender without a single soldier.

War, even if it is a one-sided crushing war, will cause many casualties and killings.

Su Yuan didn't want to fight all the way to bloodshed, because in his opinion, most of the so-called "enemy soldiers" were ordinary people.

Many of these people were forced to join the army and did not want to fight.

Rather than killing them, Su Yuan wanted to recruit them.What he really wants to kill are those behind-the-scenes exploiters and manipulators like the patriarchs of the five major families and Gongsun Kuo.

From this point of view, it would undoubtedly be a good thing if the envoys could be used to make the enemy surrender without a fight through diplomatic means.

He summoned a messenger.

The light flickered, and what appeared in front of him was a man around 35 years old.

A man has a square face, sharp eyes, and tight lips, giving people a sense of perseverance.

"My lord." The man looked at Su Yuan unabashedly, with a steady voice, "If you want me to go somewhere, please tell me the diplomatic goal you want to achieve and the price you can pay for it."

"..."

Well, here comes another name.

From the adults, the master, to the current lord, it is enough to see that the "worlds" that these summoned soldiers come from are different, and the titles are also strange.

However, he admired the man in front of him.

Different from other summoned soldiers, this "messenger" maintains a relatively equal attitude towards him, which is indeed the characteristic required by the "messenger". He will not give in easily and treat everyone with an equal attitude.

Su Yuan chatted with the man for a while, just like naming individual guards in order to distinguish the difference, he also gave this emissary a separate name, called "Zhang Qian".

Zhang Qian was a famous messenger in history before Su Yuan crossed over. Su Yuan chose this name because he hoped that a man could make great achievements like Zhang Qian.

At the same time, a team of dozens of people arrived in front of the gate of Beifeng City.

The leader was dressed in Confucian shirts, and behind them were a dozen women in black burqas and black scarves covering their faces, as well as a dozen elite soldiers from the state pastoral mansion.

This group of people was particularly eye-catching, and the city gate guards naturally stopped them and checked them carefully.

"On behalf of Lord Mu Xu of Mozhou Prefecture, I am here to present a gift to the King of Zhenbei." After the investigation, Chen Zipeng said to the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, "Please inform me, I will stay at the inn first."

"Understood." Zhenbei Army soldier said.

Chen Zipeng and his party entered Beifeng City, and as soon as they entered, they saw massive earthworks going on everywhere.

Many shirtless people were sweating profusely carrying bricks, stones, and beams.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zipeng secretly said in his heart: "This Su Yuan has just won the battle, so he started to build towers and palaces. It seems that he is also a person who is greedy for enjoyment."

A dozen or so women who walked with him covered their faces in black scarves, only showing a pair of eyes.These eyes are full of coldness and numbness, as if they don't care about everything.

As for the soldiers in charge of guarding Chen Zipeng, their weapons and armor were taken away by the Zhenbei Army when they entered the city.The self-proclaimed elites lost their temper and were very honest in the face of the strong men of the Zhenbei Army who were a head taller than themselves.

The group was heading to the inn, when suddenly, Chen Zipeng, who was walking in the front, let out a "huh" and said something.

He focused his eyes on a notice stuck on the wall, and when he took a closer look, he was shocked.

The content of the notice is the new tax law announced by Su Yuan a few days ago. At that time, in order to let the city residents know, not only thousands of notices were pasted all over the city, but also for literate people to read in the major inns, taverns, and markets to dispel confusion. .

Now that Chen Zipeng saw the content, he could hardly believe it.

"Tax-free and donate-free, this...Su Yuan is crazy? How can he have money like this?"

Chen Zipeng read the content of the notice several times, and the more he read it, the more frightened he became. Finally, he simply tore it off, stuffed it into his sleeve, and prepared to take it back for Xu Yichuan to see.

"what are you doing!"

A loud shout came from behind, and Chen Zipeng was taken aback. Turning around, he saw several people from Beifeng City watching them.

Most of these people have suspicious and hostile expressions on their faces.

"Everyone..."

As soon as Chen Zipeng opened his mouth, he was roughly interrupted by the people.

"Who are you! Why did you tear up the notice posted by the prince!"

"Sneaky, definitely not a good person!"

"Come on! Everyone is surrounded, don't let them run away!"

"Go to Zhenbei Army!"

The common people shouted and shouted, and after a while, hundreds of people gathered together, blocking Chen Zipeng and his party to death.

Chen Zipeng couldn't tell, he waved his hands again and again and said: "Everyone, misunderstanding, misunderstanding... I just want to take the notice back and observe it carefully, without any malice..."

"Master Chen, why are you talking so much nonsense!" A soldier from the State Shepherd's Mansion who came with him said angrily, "A group of mud legs dare to act presumptuously, just look at us!"

After saying that, more than a dozen government soldiers rushed forward to fight with the common people.

They are all guards of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and they are used to being domineering in Taiyuan City, and they have never heard of ordinary people daring to make trouble with their guards.

"Don't! Stop!"

Chen Zipeng's face changed drastically when he saw the government soldiers making moves.

Although there were a large number of people, they had no combat training and were not opponents of the government soldiers. In a blink of an eye, seven or eight people were knocked down.

Chu Changning happened to be nearby, and when he heard the news, he immediately brought a team of Zhenbei Army. Seeing this scene, he immediately became furious.

"Presumptuous! A bunch of bastards dare to bully the people of Beifeng City! Hit these bastards for me!"
