Chapter 445 The Art of Conversation
"But Shunfeng Harbor belongs to Da Zhou, right?" Nako Kudo interjected in time.
"What the hell, isn't it!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "It's been occupied by these vicious foreign devils for many years, so it's fine if you don't talk about it, it makes me angry! If it wasn't for their too powerful fleet and too many troops If not, I would have sent troops to kill them long ago!"
Seeing Xiao Chen's direct statement, Nishimura Zhicun and the others showed gratified smiles on their faces.
Sure enough, as we expected, Da Zhou's patience with the Ross people has reached its limit.
In the past, their Yanyun County had always been very unstable, but now the Emperor Da Zhou has basically settled it down. In this case, Shunfeng Port has become a thorn in their side, and it is also a big problem that they need to solve urgently.
Our relationship with you is actually not good, but as the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. For the sake of our interests, we can cooperate with you temporarily.
After we join forces to drive away the Ross people and resolve our crisis in the Northwest Sea, we can turn our backs at any time.
The Ross fleet in Shunfeng Port is getting bigger and bigger, which will not only pose a great threat to Da Zhou, but also put great pressure on the Dongying Navy.
Before they dealt with the Ross Fleet in Shunfeng Port, the main force of the navy did not dare to go south, and was even forced to form an ally with the Tianxuan Society in Yizhou.
If it wasn't for the fear that the Ross fleet would take advantage of the situation, they would have eliminated the fleet of the Profound Sky Society long ago and brazenly occupied Yizhou!
But they didn't dare to go to war with the Ross people easily. After all, the opponent's strength is quite terrifying. Once a large-scale war breaks out, even if they can win by luck, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!
So we must wait for a suitable opportunity to solve this serious problem.
Now is your chance.
They came to Fengyang City to meet the Emperor of Zhou this time, in fact, they wanted to test Li Wanjiang's intentions.
But no matter how they imply, Li Wanjiang is the king who talks about him, cunning like a carp who has become a fine carp, and he will not bite the hook life and death!
Later, they went to pay respects to several courtiers who were favored by the Emperor of the Great Zhou. It turned out that the Emperor of the Great Zhou felt that their official positions were too small, and they were not qualified to discuss such important matters at all.
Nishimura Zhicun's biggest official position is nothing more than a flattery, and the weight is really not enough.
But those ministers were all cunning and cunning. If the emperor didn't speak, they didn't express their position. They sent them all away after saying a lot of cloudy words.
After thinking about it for several days after going back, I couldn't figure out what the ministers meant?
I feel that there is not a single truth, and even the attitude is not clear at all.
It's not like Mr. Xiao, who speaks so truthfully!
In fact, they didn't know much about Xiao Chen before, they only knew that he was the emperor's favorite eunuch, and that he was very talented in writing, that's all.
As for the rumors that Xiao Chen led 3,000 remnant soldiers by himself, defeated the Xianbo cavalry, cracked Wanyan Pingqiu's coalition forces, relieved the crisis of the tribes in the northern border, and stabilized the situation in Yanyun County. They don't believe it at all!
This person can't possibly have that much ability.
This must have been planned by Emperor Li Wanjiang himself, and it was carried out secretly by a powerful general. It may be Li Wanyun, King Zhongcheng, or Murong Heng, Duke of Zhenxi... As for Xiao Chen, he should be just a supervising army. a puppet.
But after the Deng Yuan meeting, they got another important news, saying that Xiao Chen is not just a talented eunuch.
It is very likely that Yanyun County was taken by him alone, as rumored!
Moreover, the current Yanyun County is actually controlled by him, and the relationship between him and the emperor is actually very delicate, and there may even be some conflicts... This news surprised and delighted them.
What surprised me was that I didn't realize that this eunuch had such abilities, but what made me happy was that if so, I could bypass the emperor of Zhou and directly establish some kind of 'intimate' relationship with him.
This was the real reason why they were suddenly condescending towards Xiao Chen.
"But if Master Xiao wants to continue to operate in Yanyun County for a long time, Shunfeng Port is really very important." Xi Cun Zhicun frowned, as if he was deeply worried for Xiao Chen.
"Yeah, I will take Shunfeng Harbor back one day! But I don't know when it will be, let's have a drink, don't talk about these troublesome things, it will affect the mood." Xiao Chen said.
"Then it's better to recover as soon as possible!" Xiachuan Shenmu felt that the conversation had finally reached the point, so he was unwilling to interrupt easily.
"I also think about it, isn't this not allowed by the current strength, why is Mr. Xiachuan have any good ideas to teach?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I dare not, but I have a suggestion..." Shimogawa Shenmu was halfway through speaking, when Nishimura Zhicun gave him a cold look, and quickly changed his words, "If you don't say anything, I'd like to offer you a glass of wine. "
"Hey... I was in a good mood drinking with a few good friends, but you mentioned this matter, which really made me worry. If I had a fleet as powerful as yours, it would be great." Xiao Chen But we talked about this topic again.
This is the art of conversation.
Seemingly passive, but actually active, seemingly active, seems to be passive again.
He rushed here to meet a few little devils, but it wasn't for the sake of talking nonsense and drinking. The real purpose was to talk about this matter.
Even if Nishimura Zhicun and the others didn't speak out to probe, he would take the initiative to lead the topic to this aspect. Since Xicun took the initiative to speak out, he pretended not to want to continue the conversation.
But if you really want to talk so much, I will try my best to talk to you...
"Actually, the Great Zhou navy is also very powerful, right?" Nishimura Zhicun smiled ambiguously.
"Of course, it's built by the emperor himself. Isn't it powerful? It's just that the current scale is very small, and it seems that it is not enough to deal with the powerful Ross fleet." Xiao Chen said.
"Master Xiao, since I have reached this point, I would like to express my deep apologies to you on behalf of our Dongying Fengshui master." Nishimura Zhicun said and got up and bowed ninety degrees to Xiao Chen.
The other three people also bowed down to pay tribute to Xiao Chen.
"What does Nishimura-kun mean by that, I don't understand either." Xiao Chen pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.
"It was the misunderstanding between our sailors in the East China Sea last year. I have already apologized to the Emperor of the Great Zhou. The Emperor of the Great Zhou has a lot of people and has forgiven us. We also promise that it will never happen again in the future. A similar misunderstanding." Nishimura Shicun said.
Xiao Chen said in his heart that of course Li Wanjiang forgave you, but back then, I beat the shit out of your Kamikaze Seventh Fleet, and almost wiped out the whole army!
How can he not be generous after taking such a big advantage? If we suffered a big loss back then, do you think he would still be polite to you?
