Chapter 1050 Li Xiong

  Li Xiong, thirty-seven years old this year, is in his prime of life. His ancestral home is Brazil. He is a member of the Di tribe.

  But at that time, the life of the people in Bashu was indeed difficult, and the life of the refugees was even more difficult. It may be that the people he brought could not survive.

   Yes, Zhao Hanzhang defined the revolt of their father and son as an uprising. Later, Li Te was killed, and Li Dang, the eldest son of Li Te, also died in battle.

  Seven years ago, he called himself the king of Chengdu, and five years ago, he simply called himself emperor. However, Bashu has not been unified, and there are still Jin officials insisting on it.

  As the Taiwei and General of the Jin Dynasty, of course she couldn’t openly say that Li Xiong rebelled, oh, no, it was a rebellion, she couldn’t say that he rebelled well and made a good reputation, right?

  However, from the standpoint of the people of Shu, after Li Xiong ruled the area, the life of the people is better than under the rule of Jin.

   Comparing his heart to his heart, Zhao Hanzhang felt that if he was a commoner in Shu, he would definitely welcome Li Xiong, but not Jin.

  How many years has it been since your Sima family unified Shu and returned?

  Among the common people, there are still many people who miss the later Han Dynasty.

  So for Shu, Zhao Hanzhang has always been wooing and cooperating.

  When he was in Yuzhou, he encouraged non-governmental merchants to communicate with Shu, and was very happy with the food, cloth and other things sent by Shu. Zhao Hanzhang even built a Liulifang in Shu through various legends.

   Because of this, Li Xiong has a good impression of Zhao Hanzhang.

  However, impressions are all personal feelings. They are important, but they are not that important at the national level.

   Li Xiong met with Zhao Xin. Before meeting him, he had already discussed with his ministers the conditions to be proposed.

  So he is straight to the point. He has always treated Princess Hongnong and the son-in-law with courtesy. Now Zhao Hanzhang can take them back, but he has to agree to a few conditions.

  1. Recognize the independence of Bashu and recognize it as a country;

  Second, all Jin officials from Hanjia County and other places were transferred out of Bashu, and they were no longer allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of Bashu;

  Third, the two countries should maintain diplomatic relations, be a country of brothers, open a tea-horse market, and communicate with each other.

  Xin Zhao: …It’s a beautiful idea, do you think it’s a dream? Just think about it.

  Xin Zhao directly rejected Li Xiong, and proposed to see Princess Hongnong and her son-in-law.

   Li Xiong naturally rejected him, and asked him to think about it first, and then someone led him down.

  Xin Zhao lived in the post station, and the people he brought had already walked around the post station, and reported: "There are people from the Chengguo court all around. I bought a lot of things, and I have already released a message. I will live in the post station, but I don't know when people will come to the door."

  Xin Zhao raised his robe and knelt on the mat, poured a glass of water and said, "Just wait."

  The personal guard was puzzled, "Angel Zhao, why don't we bring a radio station directly? That way we don't have to wait for them."

  Xin Zhao glanced at him and said, "Can you master Li Xiong?"

  The personal guard blushed, bowed his head and said, "Of course you don't have the ability to be humble."

   "I don't have either," Zhao Dao said, "I don't even have a general. I can't predict what this person will do. How dare I take such important things with me?"

  In case, they were taken down as soon as they entered the Shu Kingdom, or they were cut off directly, and the things fell into Li Xiong's hands.

  Although they may not be able to use it, such a treasure should prevent the risk of exposure, so Zhao Hanzhang directly refuses to give it, and Zhao Xin doesn’t want it either. Their connection with Luoyang can be found in the secret agents in Shu, oh no, it’s scouts.

  Cough cough, our side calls it a scout, and the enemy calls it a spy, there is nothing wrong with it.

  The next day, Xin Zhao handed over the letter he wrote last night to two soldiers, and then went to the street for breakfast. After breakfast, he also got in touch with the intelligence personnel in Shu Kingdom.

  Walking all the way back to the inn, closing the door, turning his back, Xin Zhao immediately took out the note in his palm to read.

   There was their contact information and time on it. The corners of Xin Zhao’s mouth could not help but curl up. He threw the note into the teacup and soaked it. After the words were soaked and the paper was soft, he raised the teacup with a look of disgust, brought it to his mouth several times, and finally handed it to the guard, “Come and eat.”

  Professor: …

  He took it with a blank face, drank the water in the glass, chewed the paper, and swallowed it.

  Xin Zhao sat down cross-legged, and said to him, "Tomorrow we have to go out for a walk."

  The personal guard bowed in response, "Yes."

   It's time to start delivering messages.

  Xin Zhao: "Send someone to inquire about Princess Hongnong's residence and situation, and use both covert and non-covert methods."

  Two days later, Li Xiong, who had been hanging him out for three days, asked Xinlai about Zhao Xinlai. The official who was in charge of following him reported his whereabouts in the past three days in detail.

  The official asked after a pause: "Your Majesty, do you want to restrict his travels and prevent him from leaving the post station?"

  Li Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "That's all he does, isn't it?"

  Official: "No more."

   Li Xiong looked at Fan Changsheng and asked, "What does the prime minister think?"

  Fan Changsheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Check all the people he has been in contact with in the past three days, and all the stores he has entered."

  He and Li Xiong said: "Zhao Xin is a member of Zhao Hanzhang's clan. He used to go to the front line on Zhao Hanzhang's behalf. If he had to ask Zhao Hanzhang before making up his mind, his head would have been chopped off."

   "As an envoy, he must have the right to take advantage of it. Even if he can't agree to all of the three conditions proposed by His Majesty, there must be some points that can be resolved. He hasn't made it clear. Obviously he wants to delay time."

  Fan Changsheng said: "Zhao's use of the influence of various families to open the glass workshop into Shu is definitely not only for the grain and cloth of our Shu. I have always suspected that they have come in. Xin Zhao's move may be to contact them."

   "Even if we contact them, it will take time to send the letter. Doesn't Zhao Xin still dare to rob people quietly?" A general said: "The road to Shu is difficult. If they dare to steal Princess Hongnong, I will definitely let them come and go."

   "Then let Zhao Hanzhang send troops to attack Chengguo?" Fan Changsheng said coldly: "Now our relationship with Zhao Hanzhang is better than the relationship between Zhao Hanzhang and King Langya. Why do you want to offend her?"

   Li Xiong nodded approvingly.

   But there are also people who have different opinions, "General, Shu is difficult to travel, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if we offend her, as long as we control Hanzhong, she will be difficult to fly in. Why should I be afraid?"

   "But now Hanzhong is in the hands of Fu Yi."

   "That's a shelf. Hanzhong has been famine for many years. Nearly 70,000 to 80,000 people died of starvation in the past few years. The refugees there can sell their lives as long as they are given a handful of rice. No matter how prestigious Fu Zhi is, he is among the gentry. The common people don't accept this. If you want me to say, we should hang Princess Hongnong in front and force the Jin army to retreat. Then we seize Hanzhong. At that time, Zhao Hanzhang really has nothing to do with us."

Good night
