Straight man of steel

Chapter 146 Negotiation Negotiation
Most of the people he meets have this kind of personality, Zhang Yuan really has no desire to chat.

After sorting out these things, he sent Zong Xing to inform the Duotong Mission that they decided to leave in three days.

It stands to reason that Duotong wanted to prepare good wine and food in the palace for Zhang Yuan and the others, but before Duotong could open his mouth, he was blocked by the Zong line sent by Zhang Yuan.

Seeing that the day of leaving was getting closer and closer, all the members of the mission also got busy, busy recording the gifts given to Liu Che by Duotong and packing them into boxes for storage.

A piece of novelty has thus entered the eyes of everyone.

"There are still blue-green mountain pheasants. It's really insightful."

Jifu showed great interest in peacocks.

Zhang Yuan smiled and explained.

"Mr. Jifu, this is called a peacock. If my guess is right, it should have been transported from Dian Kingdom."

Jifu has been accustomed to Zhang Yuan's behavior for many days. Facts have proved that Zhang Yuan is indeed well-informed.

"It turned out to be a peacock, but the old man thought it was a kind of pheasant."

"It's not wrong to call it a mountain pheasant. You can call it whatever you like."

Jifu smiled and shook his head.

"No, let's call it Peacock as you said.

If it was called a mountain pheasant, the bird probably entered the old man's stomach before it even arrived in Chang'an. "

There are still many new things. Duotong even brought in two elephants. Zhang Yuan thought they were all brought in from Dian Kingdom, but in fact, these animals all lived in Yelang Kingdom.

The reason why later generations are in Yunnan is because human beings have greatly compressed their living space into such a small place.

The animals in Duotong Lane are not owned by big men. Presumably, he tried his best to show kindness to Liu Che, but no one reminded Duotong that the best way to show kindness is to send his son to Chang'an as a proton.

The reason why Tang Meng didn't mention it was because he wanted to coax Duotong, so that he could gain Duotong's trust, and it would be easier for him to harvest in the future.

Zhang Yuan didn't think about that at all.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

Like the first day, Doton rode his gem-encrusted car to the valley mouth to see off the mission.

The matter of Duotong is over, but Tang Meng has to escort all the members of the mission back to the pass, so that the task can be considered complete.

Because I brought some animals with me, the time I wasted on the way back was twice as much as when I came here.

Five days later, when Zhang Yuan saw the city wall of Fuguan, he shouted.

"Finally back to Dahan."

The burden on Tang Meng's shoulders was gone now, and he became much more relaxed.

"Zhang Xingren, you are wrong, we have never been out of the territory of the big man."

Zhang Yuan glanced at Tang Meng and felt that he was still a long way away from these human beings. He ignored him and rode straight into the pass.

The horses had to rest for a day at Fuguan, the climate in the south was humid, the horses ate some of the grass on the roadside, and quite a few fell ill.

After entering the talisman, it is necessary to prepare dry forage to feed the horses.

After a rest day, the whole team continued on the road.

After planning to go to Berkshire to pick up Sima Xiangru and others, they will go directly north and return to Chang'an.

It has been almost nine months since they came out, and everyone is more eager to go home.

Seeing that they were going back to Jiangzhou City after another day of walking, there was a small official beating the civilian husband in the team.

"What's going on?"

No one expected that Zhang Yuan would come to inquire in person. Generally, no one would take such a common thing to heart.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan asked personally, the officials of the mission said to Zhang Yuan.

"Pedestrian order, the man pulling the cart slowed down a little, so the little official of the Jiangzhou prefect's mansion beat him a few times with a leather whip."

After hearing the cause of the incident, Zhang Yuan's face turned dark.

"Did I set a time limit?"

"The pedestrian order has not set a time limit."

"Then why did such a thing happen?"

"I think the little official was too impatient."

One or two things like this are fine, no matter what, Zhang Yuan can't stop this situation.

If someone set a time limit, it would be fine to beat the peasants with a whip, but there was no time set for returning.

"Give the civilian husband some compensation, let the little official stop meddling with the civilian husband's affairs for the time being, and when he returns to Jiangzhou City, he will inform the Bajun prefect of this matter."

The officials of the mission didn't know why Zhang Yuan had such a big reaction, but they couldn't say anything, so they promised to go ahead and handle it.

"You shouldn't be doing that, kindness is not a good thing."

Ji Fu has been watching everything that happened in the mission from the perspective of an outsider. When Zhang Yuan did something wrong, he would say a few more words.

"I just don't want people to die on my hands."

"Kindness is all the more important."

Zhang Yuan glanced at Jifu, this old guy eats and drinks all day long, and all he can use is his money.

"Mr. didn't say that there is something to do, why don't you leave?"

Ji Fu looked at Zhang Yuan and smiled, it was right for young people to be angry.

"You kid has been instilling in this old man the concept of Baiyue's weakness, presumably you know that I'm going to South Vietnam.

It's a bit boring to still have this tone now. "

"The boy is stupid, there is no way to guess what Mr. is going to do."

"Okay, admit it or not, no one said anything about you here.

It is not a shameful thing for the old man to go to Nanyue, it is to find a way to appease the king of Nanyue, it seems that there is no need to appease or not.

To deal with the weak, just break it with one force.

Junhou's impression of Nanyue was still decades ago, and Yelang and his party already felt that Nanyue did not inherit the bravery of the previous dynasty.

The people of Qin died cleanly, and there was no threat at all. "

"Does the Lord not want to fight?"

"You and I can't speculate on Junhou's thoughts. The reason why he doesn't want a war in southern Xinjiang is because he wants to develop his national strength during this period of time."

Ji Fu said it beautifully, but Zhang Yuan knew in his heart that Tian Fu was the kind of person who had always strongly opposed war.

Not because of anything else, but because after losing the battle, it will appear that he is incompetent as a prime minister, because no matter what, the emperor cannot take the blame.

"Okay, boy, I get it.

If there is a war between our dynasty and Nanyue, sir, just ask Junhou to inform General Han Anguo, and let General Han use fire attack. "

After thinking about it all the way, Zhang Yuan still didn't bury the story of burning the rattan armor soldiers in his heart.

I thought that Jifu would praise himself a few words, and no matter how bad he was, he would ask himself why he used fire to attack, but he never thought that Jifu's focus was not on this at all.

"Let Junhou tell Han Anguo what to do?"

Zhang Yuan was speechless for a moment.

"It's just a discussion. After all, General Han Anguo is proficient in the art of war."

Ji Fu glanced suspiciously at Zhang Yuan, apparently not believing the reason.
