Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

According to the military order of the Privy Council, the command of Donghai was disbanded and rested. The generals of Yu Liang belonged to the Guard Army, and those without disabilities could go home after handing over their armor and weapons and receiving their rewards. They were originally under the command of the Guard Army Kaifeng Mansion, and their homes were not too far away. One month later, Yu Liang and Zhang Da came to Tokyo again.

"I mean what I say." Yu Liang patted his chest and said to Zhang Dao, "That bitch from Dongdao doesn't count, I invite you to go to the brothel today to learn more."

He opened his mouth wide and pretended to be polite, but it was easy to see through his acting as a farmer, and Yu Liang could already see the high spirits on his face... After all, it doesn't cost money to have fun.

Zhang Dao said, "I'm sorry to let Ten General Yu spend money."

Yu Liang chuckled: "Success, it's fine if you want it or not, anyway, it's just this one time, I got my money in exchange for my life!"

"Then...then..." Zhang's face was already red, "How much does the brothel cost?"

"Damn!" Yu Liang scolded, "It's hard to say, what kind of pavilions and buildings in the inner city generally have to be consistent; but if you want to find a kiln sister, the young lady only costs thirty to fifty cash... the old beggars in the alleys can count as twelve or thirty."

Yu Liang's eloquence is clear, obviously he is very familiar with the land of flowers and willows, and this guy's family was well-off before he joined the army.

"Consistent!" Da Zhang shook his head vigorously.

It has always been theoretically 1,000 copper coins, and the fineness of copper coins can be counted as hundreds of cash. Under the great monetary austerity, eating a cake and drinking a cup of tea is only one or two cash, which is already a large amount of money.

So the two went straight to Wangchun Gate and went to the city to find a kiln. At this time, the outside of the Tokyo city wall was like a city, because it had not been besieged for many years; They saw that there were all kinds of shops outside the city, no wonder many people relocated and took root here.

Zhang Da shyly picked the best-looking one, the bustard asked for fifty cash, Yu Liang generously paid the money first, and then sat under the wooden building drinking tea and waiting. Zhang Da asked him to join him, Yu Liang shook his head and said, "I'm not very interested in the ladies here."

In less than a stick of incense, Zhang Shi came out, but left with Yu Liang in a sullen mood. The two were walking in the increasingly densely populated streets and alleys outside Tokyo. Yu Liang asked, "Da Zhang, are you unhappy?"

Only then did Zhang Da scold: "As soon as I entered, the lady urged me to hurry up, thinking about money... fifty cash, how much I have to buy food! What a pity!"

Yu Liang laughed loudly: "Since you are sister Yao, what else do you want if you don't want money?"

At this moment, Zhang Da suddenly felt a little lost, and murmured, "Meiko is fine..."

Yu Liang turned his head to look at him calmly, looked up at the green willow branches by the roadside, and asked, "Before joining the army, how do you feel comfortable?"

Zhang Da rubbed his head and said in a daze, "We're full." After thinking for a while, he said, "Wear warm, the house doesn't leak air in winter, and I miss girls occasionally at night."

Yu Liang said with a smile, "The sisters here are here for this. But everyone can't be easily satisfied, even you, who are illiterate, will have to look forward to Shu. Now do you know why there is a sister who can be worth a whole night?"

Zhang Da looked confused, as if he understood and didn't seem to understand.

At this moment, they suddenly saw many people watching on the post road outside Wangchun Gate, so they walked over quickly to have a look. I saw a group of officials and subordinates with tube hats and soap boots guarding a few carts passing by the post road, accompanied by Japanese envoys holding scepters... The costumes of the officials in Dongdao looked somewhat similar to those of Han'er, but they were easy to distinguish. No wonder the common people found them strange.

The people on the big carts are even more interesting, the carts are full of women dressed in red and green! The women were not shy either, they opened the car and looked around curiously.

Yu Liang looked at it for a while, then said: "It must be the singing and dancing girl presented to the royal family by Japan."

Zhang Da waited in Dongdao for several months, and immediately said, "I don't look at the women in Dongdao well."

Yu Liang smiled and said: "You don't understand, the official plan is to send it from afar, and what they want is the majesty of the guests from all over the world."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Da suddenly blurted out: "Meizi!"

People next to him looked sideways.

Yu Liang followed the sound, and sure enough, he recognized a cheerful woman in a carriage, she was Meizi! When Meizi heard the shout, she turned her head and found two acquaintances, the excited smile on her face froze, and she looked at them with complicated expressions. The surroundings were very noisy, Yu Liang and Zhang Da had nothing to say, and silently watched the carriage go away.

After a long time, Yu Liangcai snorted and said, "What kind of things are these gifts from the Japanese imperial court..."

Zhang Da was a little puzzled, "How could Meizi be selected if she wasn't in Damori Town?"

Yu Liangdao: "That girl tried her best to come to Da Xu, who knows what method she used."

...

Soon after, there was a three-day banquet in Jinxiang Hall. This time the banquet was very different, Zhu Wenwu and Mrs. Gaoming watched more programs. There are Japanese songs and dances from thousands of miles overseas, as well as the beauties presented by the envoys of Goryeo last time, and the orchids of the Western Regions who returned to the rebel army to pay tribute.

The silk and bamboo orchestra on the main hall is full of prosperity.

The civil servants boasted loudly on the table: Today, Shangwei conquers the sea, the four directions come and go, the prosperous world, the prosperity of peace, the strong victory over the great Han, and the far away Tang Dynasty...

In addition to singing and dancing girls, envoys and officials from various countries attended the banquet. Goryeo and Japan sent people, and there were even envoys from the "Daliao Post House in Tokyo", the tribes of Tubo, the Uighurs in the Western Regions of Hexi, Dangxiang, etc. In the hall, there were all kinds of people in strange costumes, which opened the eyes of the noble ladies of Tokyo.

Emperor Guo Shao and the two empresses respectively rewarded Han Tong with saddles, ribbons, robes, jade pens and other items for civil and military personnel below Han Tong, affirming their military exploits in the East Island. As for the feelings of the Japanese envoys present, I don't care about it.

Guo Shao had a smile on his face and looked very excited, which made the countless officials and palace people who worked hard to prepare the banquet very gratified.

When the East Island dancers performed on stage, it turned out that Guo Shao didn't care about their origins, as long as they had local characteristics, it was just a surprise... Anyway, he didn't understand.

Guo Shao doesn't know much about the arts of various countries or even Daxu, but he feels that he is naturally good at observation. After watching the program, he can probably distinguish the pros and cons of women from various countries. Diligently trained singing and dancing girls are different in their delicate movements. The women presented by the Japanese country are obviously not as good as the Koryo country. Maybe they are not convinced because of the war just happened?

There was a lot of joy in the hall, and Guo Shao raised his glass with the ministers to congratulate him from time to time, and from time to time he turned his head and talked with the two queens with a smile.

Fu Jinzhan turned his head and smiled calmly: "People like Tubo and Uyghur never came to the Central Plains to pay tribute before. Now that His Majesty's prestige has spread far and wide, I think they are now very worried about His Majesty's continued expedition to the west."

Guo Shao praised: "The empress is very insightful. It is a pleasure to have friends from afar. I think that friends from afar are interested in coming. It is nothing more than two things. One is to gain profit, and the other is to feel threatened, otherwise it will be boring."

Fu Jinzhan covered her vermilion lips lightly with her wide sleeves of silk flowers, her eyes were smiling like the moon.

The most magnificent dance on the stage is the dancer of the Jiaofang Division of the Daxu Imperial Court. Amid the sound of the grand chime bells and drums, the long sleeves of the feather coat are like a large cloud, and they bloom like gorgeous petals in spring.

The ministers congratulated the Shiman Dynasty and shouted "Longevity without borders", which made Guo Shao truly feel the expansion of the national power and imperial power!

From west to east, from north to south, he felt that his strength had not been fully released! Daxu still has more desire|desires and vitality to expand. For a while, Guo Shao's heart was full of mightiness, and he suddenly understood why Qin Shihuang insisted on looking for the medicine of immortality, because too much hegemony has not yet been completed!

... The banquet lasted for three days, and was temporarily suspended that night.

The envoys from Goryeo who went to the banquet returned to the "Koryo post station in Tokyo". The post station officials urged the envoys who had just arrived in Tokyo to write to the imperial court to ask Daxu to fulfill his promise and march into the Northeast.

The envoy hesitated a bit. The house under the lamp was full of Goryeo style, and the envoy said in a deep voice, "Have you ever thought about how far Japan is from Daxu, and how long it took Daxu to conquer Japan?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

The envoy said with a worried face: "I personally think that Xu Jun's influence in Liaodong is not necessarily a good thing. I am afraid it is a strategy to drive tigers and lure wolves!"

Everyone was shocked, they had never heard such remarks before, the postmaster said: "Korea is different from Japan, our country has never been disrespectful and hostile towards the Central Plains."

The envoy said coldly: "The benefit of Xu's army entering Liaodong is to keep Liao at bay, but the situation is no longer what it used to be! Today's expansion is no longer Daliao, but Daxu. If their power expands to Liaodong, do you think the Central Plains will really give up the old land of Bohai Kingdom generously, and make Koryo stronger?"

What the envoy said made some sense, and the person in the posthouse asked again, "Why do you have such thoughts, brother?"

"Today, the emissary observed that there were people from Hexi, Tubo, and the Western Regions who attended the banquet. I personally thought that even people from as far as the Western Regions smelled a dangerous atmosphere. The officials in Kaijing are so stupid. They are lying next to tigers and wolves, thinking about fighting for food!"

Someone said: "The successive monarchs of our country wanted to restore the old land of Bohai Kingdom. They have been preparing for decades of operation and management. It is really unacceptable to waste all previous efforts in a short time."

The envoy let out a long sigh and looked at the courtyard outside the window, which was decorated like a Goryeo courtyard. The lanterns under the eaves and the costumes of the attendants on duty made people feel like they were in a foreign land. The night was dark, but the lights outside the post house were brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of horseshoes rattling, and the curfew could hardly conceal the prosperity of Tokyo. In comparison, the opening of the capital of Korea was far behind.

He turned around and said: "Korea has never been weak, but if unfortunately it goes to war with Daxu, it will definitely lose. Our country should avoid conflict with Daxu and find a more appropriate way to survive.".
