Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 473 Second Visit to Liu Song
Li Shun?

This person comes from the Li family of Zhao County.

During the Tuoba Si period, Li Shun was ordered to go to Jiankang, and because he slandered Liu Yizhen, he left one arm forever in the south.

After such a failed diplomatic experience, Li Shun's official career in the Northern Wei Dynasty was not smooth.

It was after Cui Hao took power in the Northern Wei Dynasty and began to reuse the Han people that Li Shun made his rise to the top.

As for why...

It is also simple.

Li Shun offended the current emperor of Liu Song, Liu Yizhen, to death. There was still a way for others to surrender to Liu Song, but Li Shun could only hug the Northern Wei's thigh tightly.

In addition, Li Shun's knowledge is amazing, even compared to everyone in the south, this also makes Tuo Batao trust Li Shun more.

Now hearing that Cui Hao wanted Li Shun to go to Liu Song as an envoy, Tuoba Tao actually felt a bit of reluctance in his heart.

According to the plan, it would be almost impossible to return to the Northern Wei Dynasty once Liu Song was sent as an envoy this time.

"Must Li Shun go?"

"I have to let Li Shun go."

"It's not that I have any grievances with Li Shun... Now Li Shun is the only one who has the ability to send Liu Song as an envoy and complete the plan."

"and……"

Cui Hao had to say the biggest reason for choosing Li Shun: "If you send strangers there, with Liu Yizhen's character, most of them will not pay attention. Li Shun and Liu Yizhen are also old acquaintances. If he is sent as an envoy, Liu Yizhen will at least Will not turn a blind eye.”

Tuoba Tao understood now.

"Okay, then let Li Shun go."

--------

--------

When Tuoba Tao's will was conveyed to Li Shun, Li Shun was studying at home.

After hearing the news, Li Shun just bowed three times to the location of the Pingcheng Imperial Palace, and then went to pack his things silently.

"Father!"

Li Fu, Li Shun's son, came quickly to be intelligent. He held Li Shun's empty cuff with tears in his eyes.

"Father had a bad relationship with Emperor Da Song when he was young. Wouldn't it be better to die if he went to send Da Song as an envoy?"

Li Shun didn't expect that the first person to see his future would be his own son, so he couldn't help but stretched out his arm to touch his forehead.

"If Great Wei survives, you will definitely make our Li family prosperous."

"As for being a father..."

Li Shun looked at the empty cuffs and shook his head slightly.

"As a father, he died in Jiankang a long time ago. If I go today, I will just exchange this life for Liu Yizhen."

Seeing that Li Fu was still puzzled, Li Shun made a final instruction:

"A person attaches to the family, and the family attaches to the country."

"If the country does not survive, the family will not survive; if the family does not survive, neither will the people."

Just as Li Fu was chewing on these words carefully, another waiter came to Li Shun's mansion.

"The prime minister invited the county magistrate to come to the mansion to have a talk."

"understood."

Taking a last look at Li Fu, Li stepped on the carriage to Cui Hao's mansion by the way.

Three days later.

A guard of honor marched southward from Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, to Chang'an.

Li Shun, who was an envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, looked at Yanmen Pass, which he could see not far from the capital, and felt even more sorrowful in his heart.

"The last time I was sent as an envoy, after the first emperor sent me away from the capital, I had not reached the border between the two countries until I reached the edge of the big river. Now that I have traveled for only one day, I can reach the land of another country... To meet such a chance, I’m afraid I’ve been the only one for hundreds of years.”

The accompanying officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty also looked sad, and by the way, even the eyes of the soldiers of the Song Army became strange.

"General Pei, do you want to show them off?"

The person in charge of welcoming the envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty was Pei Fangming, who was guarding Jinyang.

After seeing the unkind eyes of the Northern Wei envoys, someone immediately suggested this to Pei Fangming.

Pei Fangming became much more stable after experiencing the Battle of Exterminating Xia, so naturally he would not lose control of his emotions and do things that would insult the prestige of the country.

I saw him pointing to the sky behind the Northern Wei envoys:

"They still dare to have this attitude, it's nothing more than they still believe in those traitors behind."

"When the emperor gives an order, we will rush through Yanmen, take Pingcheng, and fall into the capital of the country. At that time... hum."

Pei Fangming's voice was exceptionally loud, and the last sneer was heard by the Northern Wei envoys.

After Li Shun stared at Pei Fangming for a while, he sighed and looked away.

"Wei regards Song as a tiger, and Song regards Wei as an ant. The situation of the two countries is really different."

once Upon a time.

Even Liu Yu had to always pay attention to the movements of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern Expedition. After the Northern Expedition, Qin had to use the Queyue Formation to defeat the Northern Wei army on the other side of the river before he dared to continue marching.

And now...

Just a partial general of Liu Song dared to ignore the peak of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even threatened to capture the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In this way, it was unimaginable ten years ago, or even five years ago.

"Let's go."

Military matters have nothing to do with civil servants like Li Shun.

His mission is in Chang'an.

Although Li Shun felt that the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty had become smaller, the distance between his envoys to Liu Song became closer.

Before he went to Liu Song as an envoy, he had to go out of Hebei, cross a big river, cross the Central Plains, and cross the Yangtze River before arriving at Jiankang, the capital of Liu Song.

This kind of journey is not only time-consuming, but also prone to accidents on the road, causing disputes between the two countries, and is quite unfriendly to the waiters of the two countries.

Now, as long as you follow the Fenshui River all the way south along the valley, you can reach the Hedong, and then you can enter Guanzhong after crossing the river.

It was the first time for Li Shun to come to Guanzhong, and the prosperity here was an eye-opener for him.

"Longjue Cui Cui, hidden and melancholic law, connecting hills and tombs, holding Du Hanhu, and Fengfeng spit out picks, and there are precious jade in Lantian, which comes out of itself. After that, there is Gaoling Plain, according to Weijujing, Chan It's a long way, and it's close to the town. It's far away from the sweet spring of Nine Rivers, dry and cold, and the sun is cold in the north, so it's clear from the heat. Er Nai Guangyan Fertile Field, Jue Tianshangshang, is really the god of the Austrian area of ​​the earth. Gao."

The Guanzhong described by Zhang Heng is opened in front of Li Shun like an ink painting scroll.

If there is any difference.

Probably the current Guanzhong is more pyrotechnic, right?
All the common people on the road held their chests up, and their proud expressions were enough to make these officials from the Northern Wei Dynasty feel ashamed.

Stayed in Chang'an City.

Designed by Liu Yizhen himself and built under the supervision of Wang Maide, Chang'an City once again refreshed the perception of the Northern Wei Dynasty diplomatic missions.

Li Shun had been to Jiankang.

Although the prosperity of Jiankang is not comparable to that of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but no matter how you look at it, that kind of prosperity has a taste of vanity, and it is easy to be disgusted by those who see the truth.

But this Chang'an is different.

Even though it is newly built, its heaviness far surpasses any city Li Shun has ever seen.

"The foundation of Dingding is eternal, and the infinite karma lies here!"

"This Chang'an has been in decline for more than [-] years, and it has finally returned to the former Han Dynasty."

"It can be seen that what a city is like does not depend on its location, but on its owner."

Li Shun's originally gloomy mood rarely had a gleam of light.

"I haven't seen him for a few years. I don't know what that young man looks like now."
