One is to show the solemnity of the canonization ceremony, and the other is to bring back more war horses.

 The scale is large and the specifications are also large.

Unexpectedly, this decision was opposed by all the courtiers.

Prime Minister Gu Yong advised:

“Gongsun Yuan just sent an envoy to pay tribute and did not do any great service to the state of Wu. Your majesty treats him so favorably. Is it too much?”

"It would be better to send soldiers to send the envoys from Liaodong back first, and try to find out more about their intentions. In the future, when I go to the north of Wu to attack the bandits, if Gongsun Yuan really responds and raises his troops, it will not be too late to grant him a title."

Sun Quan was displeased:

"Gongsun Yuan traveled thousands of miles to send envoys to me to proclaim himself a minister. His sincerity is evident. Treating him generously now is like buying a piece of gold for his bones."

“If it’s Bo Zhi, who will be willing to submit to Wu in the future?”

Hearing Sun Quan’s words, the ministers stood up suddenly, their hair and beards spread out, and loudly shouted:

“The land east of Liao is only one county, and it is also bitterly cold. Gongsun Yuan claims to be a vassal but actually takes possession of the land. We, the State of Wu, cannot send officials to govern it, let alone collect any taxes.”

“Moreover, Gongsun Yuan was just afraid of Wei’s attack on Liaodong, so he had no choice but to send people to rescue him. I’m afraid it was not his original intention to become a vassal.”

“If Your Majesty wants to confer a royal title on him like this, then if someone brings the county to our Kingdom of Wu in the future and makes meritorious service, how should Your Majesty thank him?”

Although Zhang Zhao is old, he has a bad temper and an upright character.

These words were very rude and made Sun Quan a little angry:

"Liaodong has sent people here several times. Gongsun Yuan's intention has been clear for a long time. How can he say that it is not his original intention? Doesn't Zhang Gong's behavior make the world laugh at my Wu State's incompetence?"

 Zhang Zhao sneered:

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, if Gongsun Yuan changes his mind and wants to show his identity to Wei, then I, Wu Taichang, will be in charge of Jinwu, and the generals will not be able to return, won't the people of the world laugh at him?"

Gongsun Yuan was actually just a prefect of a county, but he asked the state of Wu to send out Taichang, one of the nine ministers, and Jinwu, who was the same as the nine ministers, to perform the ceremony of canonizing him as a king.

This is enough to make people all over the world laugh.

Sun Quan became more and more angry and almost had a quarrel with Zhang Zhao in the court.

 Zhang Zhao, however, refused to give in at all.

 One is a monarch in his fifties, and the other is an old minister in his seventies.

Both of them can be considered old people, but when they argue, they look like young and energetic young men, their faces red and their ears red.

 The two sides are at a stalemate.

Finally, Sun Quan stood up angrily and said with his sword:

"The scholars of Wu State worship me when they enter the palace, and worship you when they leave the palace. I respect Duke Zhang very much!"

"I have called myself "I" for several years, but you still humiliate me several times in the court hall and in front of hundreds of officials. Do you really want to test how long I can endure it?"

As soon as these words came out, murderous intent suddenly arose.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao was not afraid at all and looked directly at Sun Quan:

“Although I know that Your Majesty does not want to listen to what I say, I still repeatedly give advice without knowing what to do. This is actually because before the Queen Mother passed away, she called the old minister to her bedside and left an edict to take care of her life, entrusting your majesty to the old minister’s ears.”

　　　At the end of the sentence, I burst into tears.

Sun Quan almost vomited blood!

here we go again!

In the court hall, in front of all the officials, when discussing the Queen Mother's will, what else could Sun Quan do except throw away his sword and weep with Zhang Zhao?

Zhang Zhao originally thought that Sun Quan had changed his mind after crying with him in the court hall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sun Quan turned around and returned to the palace, he immediately issued an edict and sent Taichang Zhang Mi and Jinwu Xu Yan to Liaodong as originally planned.

When Zhang Zhao heard about this, he was furious and blamed Sun Quan for not listening to him, so he complained that he was ill and could not go to court.

Sun Quan was so embarrassed that he also resented Zhang Zhao's behavior that showed no regard for the king's face, so he sent people to seal the gate of Zhang's house with earth.

 Zhang Zhao did not give in at all, and also blocked the door inside with earth.

The two men, who were both monarch and subject, as well as master and disciple, caused a farce.

 There was farce in both Wei and Wu, and Liangzhou was not idle either.

General Guan Da and Secretary Zhang Da, who stayed behind in Wuwei, sent an urgent message to Governor Feng in Dunhuang, requesting that troops be dispatched to Yanze and Duyeze as soon as possible.

 The person who came to deliver the letter was also beyond Feng Jishi's expectation.

One is Han Long, who has disappeared for a long time, and the other is Shi Bao, who has been following Zhao Guang around, looking for qualified war horses from the barbarians in the northern desert.

 “I have met the king.”

 “No need to be formal.”

 A master came back to him, which made Governor Feng very happy.

Han Long was not in the mood to talk to Governor Feng about their reunion. He looked anxious and said:

“Your Majesty, there may be changes in Bingzhou.”

Feng Yong’s face condensed:

 “Bingzhou?”

 Bingzhou is just east of Hetao.

 If you want to have peace in Guanzhong, you must locate the Hetao. If you want to secure the Hetao, you can't avoid Bingzhou.

“Don’t panic, sit down first, drink some tea and speak slowly.”

 After coming to the Han Dynasty for so many years, fighting wits and courage with the demons of the ages, digging big holes for aristocratic families, facing off against the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, and traveling all over the country, Feng Jishi is no longer the young boy he used to be.

 He first dismissed all the servants, then poured Han Long a cup of tea himself and said calmly.

 At the same time, he did not forget to signal Shi Bao to do whatever he wanted.

This is his temporary residence. It is in the courtyard next to the Dunhuang Prefect's Mansion, not far from the Zhang family, so it is very convenient.

Shi Bao was so flattered that he quickly stepped forward and poured tea for Governor Feng before sitting down at the bottom.

“Didn’t Mr. Han go to Youzhou?”

“A certain person returned to Youzhou, stayed there for a year, and then transferred to Bingzhou.”

 “Why?”

"Kebineng!" Han Long, probably in a hurry, took a sip of tea before continuing, "In the past few years, Tian Yutian Guorang, the former military commander of Wuhuan, suppressed and divided many barbarians."

“Therefore, Kebinengduo in the north of Youzhou could not unite the various tribes of Hu people. Later, Tian Guorang was transferred from Youzhou, and the governor of Youzhou, Wang Xiong and Wang Yuanbo, implemented policies to appease the Hu people.”

"Kebi Neng took the opportunity to annex various tribes and greatly increased his power. Fortunately, Budugen, who was bound to the state, had a grudge against Kebi Neng for killing his brother."

"Last year Bu Dugen lured Ke Bineng's subordinate Xie Guini to surrender, so Ke Bineng failed to unite the Hu people in the north of Youzhou."

This happened last year, but Bingzhou is really far away from Liangzhou, let alone Youzhou.

Moreover, it was news from the grassland barbarians, so Feng Yong had no idea about it at all.

Kebineng always wanted to recreate the Xianbei grand occasion during the Tanshihuai era, and he was considered a relatively ambitious Xianbei man.

"Kebi Neng failed to unite the Hu tribes. Isn't it a good thing for the people of You and the two states?"

Regardless of his position, if Kebi is really allowed to unify all the grassland tribes, the people in the north will suffer.

"It is indeed a good thing, but it is different now. This is the reason why I came to look for the king."

Han Long couldn’t help lowering his voice:

"Ke Bineng is definitely an extraordinary person. He actually didn't take into account Bu Dugen's actions last year, and wanted to lure Bu Dugen to rely on him and create rebellion and merge the state..."
