The county guard was very nervous. He knew Cao Ang better than Zeng Yuanyan. After all, Cao Ang had seen the whole process of destroying Wuhuan, killing Tadun, and punishing Gongsundu.
Cao Ang rides alone.
Thousands of core elites were killed and retreated.
This incident is still spread in Youzhou and even various tribes.
It can be said that in people's minds, Cao Ang, like the gods, should not be offended.
And with such a person patrolling so far, how can Liu Xia not be nervous?
Cao Ang's team has successfully arrived in Xiangping, so everyone is seeing Xiangping's appearance.
Seeing this, Lu Wen complained and said, "Xiangping is really a poor place. I really didn't expect such a place to exist in the mighty Great Wei Empire. The most important thing is that this place still exists. Can become the governor of this county!"
Xiangping City is nothing more than a national model of a village and town, let alone compared with first-tier cities like Luoyang and Xuchang, even compared with those second-tier cities like Xiangyang, Yecheng, Jianye, and Xuzhou. On the ground, a small county town picked at random is much better than this Xiangping.
This Xiangping is really too small, but although this Xiangping is a little smaller, but on the Liaodong Peninsula, such a geographical location still has great potential.
Because, if the northern route can be opened, after the vast black land in the north is developed, the Liaodong Peninsula will become the main transit point connecting the Central Plains!
Moreover, here will have the world's top deep-water excellent natural port.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally especially suitable for the development of fishery, shipbuilding, and those manufacturing industries, and it has the potential to become a large trading city.
Of course, this kind of situation is after the development of the Liaodong Peninsula. For such a situation, it will be two or three years later.
Cao Ang's team was really huge, so they didn't bother to enter Xiangping, so they let Xiahou Dun station outside Xiangping.
And that Liu Xia was accompanied by officials, as well as Zeng Yuanyan and other Japanese envoys that Cao Ang called to meet.
After that, Liu Xia, Zeng Yuanyan and others were also very uneasy. After seeing Cao Ang, they were all overwhelmed by Cao Ang's temperament.
All of them knelt down on the spot and saluted Cao Ang in front of them.
"My subject Liu Xia, bring the Japanese envoys to meet His Highness!"
That Liu Xia felt very uncomfortable. Under such a situation, don't mention how nervous Liu Xia was.
In the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was not popular to practice kneeling and worshiping governance, not to mention that Cao Angha was just a prince, not the emperor of the Great Wei Empire, and he did not have any real power in his hands.
However, under such circumstances, after all the people came in front of Cao Ang, they were all speechless by the temperament of Cao Ang, and subconsciously made such actions.
Such a situation really made Liu Xia and his party feel an unprecedented suppression in their hearts.
This situation seems to feel the pressure of Mount Tai, which makes it difficult for them to extricate themselves.
If it wasn't for such a close feeling and such a heartfelt feeling, it would be hard for them to imagine that a mortal could have such a demeanor.
This prince is only 20 years old, and he has not even ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but the power possessed by this person is simply shocking, such a powerful feeling is not inferior to that of the First Emperor!
Some people are born with tall heads, and even have the appearance of a tiger or wolf, or the appearance of an emperor.
Such a person seems to have a whole body of ability, and even possesses an innate leadership ability, as well as a deterrent force enough to deter everyone.
The first feeling that people give people is that this person is not simple, but now Cao Ang gives people the feeling that this is the case, and even this feeling is still very strong now.
After Liu Xia finished the salute, he also introduced Zeng Yuanyan and other Japanese envoys to Cao Ang.
"The King of the Japanese Kingdom learned of the establishment of the Great Wei Empire, admired His Majesty's Tianwei, and specially brought five male and female servants, and more than [-] ritual vessels, to come to pay homage!"
After Cao Ang heard what the Japanese envoy said, he glanced at it casually.
Cao Ang hadn't thought of such a situation, and then he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
However, Cao Ang tried his best to restrain himself in the end.
The gifts given by the people of the Wa country during their pilgrimage are really "precious".
There were more than twenty pieces of ritual vessels, and the men and women who made offerings could be said to be crooked melons and cracked dates among crooked melons and cracked dates, a group of people who would feel distressed when they saw it.
Those sharp weapons are even more so, they are simply a pile of handicrafts and local specialties, in Cao Ang's eyes, they are just a pile of junk.
Under such circumstances, Cao Ang wanted to laugh out loud. He really didn't expect that the Japanese country would be so kind as to offer such a thing.
No matter who the Central Plains Dynasty is, it is very face-saving. When those small countries come to worship, they usually send some very bad things, such as rotten fish and shrimp, or broken copper and iron like the Japanese kingdom. , as if it was a tattered thing.
When they go back, they are basically very full of harvest, more than twenty times their own!

Chapter 683 The Great Wei Navy Arrives
Such situations are very common, and even such situations have become a burden on the imperial court's financial expenditure in some dynasties, and such a financial burden has seriously affected the operation of the entire imperial court.
Under such circumstances, some imperial courts did not let go and allowed this situation to continue for the sake of the so-called face.
If you look at it this way, this situation is simply a bad habit, a very bad habit.
It had already been formed in the Han Dynasty, so now after the establishment of the Great Wei Empire, these small countries came here with a bunch of junk in exchange for some generous returns.
However, this Cao Ang is not someone else. He was very dissatisfied with the items that the Japanese country paid tribute to. Save face.
Therefore, at this time, Cao Ang's face was full of dissatisfaction with this country, and there was also a kind of disdain on his face.
Xiahoudun didn't tolerate such a situation at all. As a military general, he was even more loyal to the court, so after seeing such a situation, Xiahoudun was naturally going to be furious.
"Hmph, I really didn't expect that your country only brought such a small amount of tribute, and it's still a pile of scrap metal. It seems that you don't have the slightest respect for our Great Wei!"
Xiahou Dun doesn't care about your face, or the face between the two countries.
After seeing such a situation, Na Xiahoudun also expressed his true thoughts straightforwardly.
Xiahou Dun can say such things, but Cao Ang can't say such things. Of course, Cao Ang is not afraid of anything, but feels that such a situation is unnecessary.
After Xiahou Dun's words came out, all the people present were dumbfounded.
After the translation, Zeng Yuanyan and others who didn't understand at first were all terrified.
He had already felt a kind of suppression from Cao Ang just now, but now such words made them even more afraid.
Later, Zeng Yuanyan also looked at Cao Ang who was expressionless in front of him, and then he felt the pressure and explained: "His Royal Highness, please calm down, our Yamatai country is just a small country, and there is really no way to get along with this Central Plains country." Compare it!"
"Although our gift is not particularly expensive, this kind of gift also represents a little bit of affection from the Queen of Yamatai Kingdom to the Central Plains Dynasty on behalf of the entire Yamatai Kingdom. Please accept it with a smile, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Where have these Japanese people below seen someone like Cao Ang?
There is a kind of shock just by looking, let alone Cao Ang, even Xiahou Dun who is standing next to Cao Ang, such a powerful general, such a fierce general, just standing here has already made them feel strong. suppressed.
