Chapter 304 Chen Deng envoy to Wu.
In 197 AD, in the Xia and Qin naval parade. On the way back to the parade, Qin King Li Chen was assassinated by Sun Ce, the son of King Sun Jian of Wu, and almost died.
Of course, Li Chen was not suffering much. Cheng Yaojin was the one who was seriously injured that day. At a critical moment, Cheng Yaojin snatched himself to save his master and helped Li Chen block the arrow.
But of course the situation was chaotic. The guards responsible for guarding Li Chen's safety immediately blocked Li Chen with their flesh and blood. Therefore, even the onlookers did not see whether Li Chen was injured or not. In order to make his army famous, Li Chen claimed to be seriously injured.
As we have said earlier, the people in Xuzhou area love Li Chen very much. When they heard that Li Chen was injured, the people in Xuzhou were furious.
In other words, there was no survey on the satisfaction of the people in this era. If there was such a survey, then there was no doubt that Xuzhou was the place with the highest satisfaction of the people.
Let me put it this way, the reason why the people of Xuzhou were able to have a full meal and live a good life was all due to Li Chen. What was Xuzhou like before Li Chen came, and what was Xuzhou like now? If Li Chen really died, who would know what Xuzhou would become?
After finally having enough food and living a good life, who would have thought about the kind of life that I had been hungry for three days?
These days, Li Chen has been leisurely and leisurely in the mansion, and he has been relaxing to the extreme.
"King of Qin, the people are now in anger and are shouting that they will go to war with Dongwu and avenge you." Liu Bowen stood in front of Li Chen and said with a smile.
It can be said that this matter can be said to be backfiring. Sun Ce's assassination really gave Li Chen the reason for attacking Jiangdong. Moreover, this reason is not directed and acted by Li Chen himself, but a real handle.
After pondering for a while, Li Chen said to Liu Bowen: "Send an envoy to Jiangdong and tell King Sun Jian of Wu that Sun Ce must be handed over within one month, otherwise it will be the day when our Xuzhou army is approaching."
Li Chen wanted to send someone to find King Sun Jian of Wu to ask for someone, so could Sun Jian hand over his son? Sun Jian would definitely not be able to hand over his wife, and there is no doubt that Li Chen wanted was Sun Jian's refusal to hand over his wife, so he became famous for his military career.
After Li Chen's order was delivered, Liu Bowen immediately arranged an envoy to go to the Eastern Wu. This time, he did not need to send someone with great eloquence or ability. To put it bluntly, Sun Jian would definitely not be able to hand over someone, it was just a process.
Originally, according to Li Chen's intention, he was just sent to someone's wishes. However, Chen Deng volunteered to go to the Eastern Wu.
"Yuan Long, this mission to Dongwu is too dangerous. If Sun Jian is angry and embarrassed, will your life be unsuccessful?" Li Chen said to Chen Deng.
"King of Qin, I thought this trip would be completely unwilling. This matter was originally because the Eastern Wu had a mistake first. If he was a entrusted envoy, the Eastern Wu would be denied by the people of the world."
"It is a big deal to go to a country. How can one send someone at will? In this way, isn't it that the Eastern Wu laughed at me as there is no one in Qin?" Chen Deng said strongly.
"Don't worry too much, King Qin. I'm sure that there will be no accidents in Yuanlong's trip." Liu Bowen also said from the side.
Speaking of this, Chen Deng insisted on volunteering to go to the Eastern Wu, and Li Chen had no choice but to agree. When Chen Deng left, Li Chen repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to safety.
Seven days later, in Eastern Wu and Moling.
This Moling is the capital of the Eastern Wu, which is Nanjing in later generations, and is also called Jianye and Jinling.
King Sun Jian of Wu sat high above the hall. His Highness's ministers of Eastern Wu were divided into two rows. The left was civil and military. On the left were Zhang Zhao, Lu Su, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin and others. On the right were Han Dang, Zu Mao, Huang Gai, and Cheng Pu.
"Report..."
"The Qin envoy arrived." A loud shout came from outside the hall.
"Da da da da!"
A burst of rapid footsteps came, and Chen Deng walked into the hall under the guidance of his attendant.
As soon as Chen Deng came into the hall, he heard Sun Jian’s deep voice sound: “Who is the one standing on your highness?”
"Qin envoy Chen Deng." Chen Deng stood upright and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Chen Deng, why don't you respect me when you see me?" Sun Jian continued to ask.
"Qin envoy Chen Deng, have met the King of Wu." Chen Deng bowed slightly and bowed to Sun Jian.
Chen Deng was really perfunctory in this gift. Not to mention kneeling down, this was not even a bow. This was a slight wail.
"Ye! You are here to send me a message, why don't you kneel down when you see my king?" The veteran Cheng Pu was as fierce as fire, shouted loudly, and stared at Chen Deng with a wide eyes.
"hehe!"
Looking at Cheng Pu's appearance, Chen Deng sighed coldly in his heart. Isn't anyone who has a loud voice in this world right?
"I wonder who this old general is?" Chen Deng looked at Cheng Pu and asked.
When he heard Chen Deng ask him who he was? Cheng Pu raised his head and said with his chest raised his head and said, "Speaking my name will scare you. I am Cheng Pu, a veteran Jiangdong general."
Is Cheng Pu famous? In fact, it is also a bit famous. After all, Cheng Pu has followed Sun Jian to fight south and north since he participated in the fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which is a bit famous.
Hearing Cheng Pu's words, Chen Deng shook his head slightly and said with a light look: "I have never heard of Jiangdong veteran Cheng Pu, but our General Yuwen is famous."
"Hmph!"
As soon as Chen Deng said this, Cheng Pu was so angry that he was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
Although Cheng Pu is famous, he can compare with Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu is recognized by everyone after Lu Bu's death. He killed Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and fought against the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang alone. He can compare with such a record.
Knowing that he could not compare with Yuwen Chengdu, Cheng Pu was not willing to be outdone and quickly changed his words.
"Chen Deng, what I asked you is, why don't you kneel when you see me?" Cheng Pu continued to shout.
"Elder General, I, Chen Deng, thought you knew some truths at this age. Now it seems that your age is a waste of time and you don't even understand the most basic truths."
"I am Qin strong and you are Wu weak, I am Qin envoy, why should I kneel on you King Wu?" Chen Deng asked with a sneer.
The envoy of a strong country does not kneel down to the king of a weak country. This is a rule passed down during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. No one can get out of this problem with Chen Deng’s words.
The ministers of Wu, no matter they are civil officials and military generals, dare to say that Wu is stronger than Qin? Wu has more defense but insufficient offense. Qin has beaten Cao Cao and Yuan Shao one after another. If anyone dares to say that Wu is stronger than Qin at this time, he will be talking lies with his eyes open.
