Chapter 232: The Talents of the Huns
After making the decision, Pei Qing was ready to find talents to go to the Huns. Naturally, there were many talents under his command. If he went to the Huns, there would be no candidates, but Pei Qing found that he had almost no special diplomatic talents under his command.
In fact, if you say it seriously, Lu Su is a very outstanding diplomatic talent, but when Lu Su is currently on the Huns, he really looks down on them too highly.
As for top wise men such as Hu Zhao, Xun You, and Chen Qun and Xie Juzhen, top internal affairs talents, naturally they could not risk going to places like the Huns.
"It is best to be a newcomer, with poor position and qualifications but extraordinary ability. Such a talent is the best candidate for the Xiongnu mission." Pei Qing murmured.
Just at this moment, Nanyang Prefect Zhao Yan sent a letter to Pei Qing to recommend the new savage Deng Zhi as the magistrate of Nanxiang.
Pei Qing's eyes suddenly lit up because he knew that Deng Zhi was an outstanding diplomatic talent in history. After Liu Bei's death, Deng Zhi persuaded Sun Quan to re-establish the Wushu Alliance after visiting Sun Wu and said that his diplomatic talent was extraordinary and his ability was not inferior to Lu Su.
So Pei Qing was surprised and immediately ordered Zhao Yan to send Deng Zhi to Chang'an, and he had to personally inspect and grant him an official position.
"Haha, Brother Deng, this time you probably have something to do. The talents you are personally inspecting are usually geniuses. Do you still remember that Wei Yan? After the lord's personal inspection, he is now the lieutenant of Anding County and the General of Fenwei. In fact, with his contribution, even if he is the Prefect of Anding, there is no problem. It is not because the lord takes care of the former lord's county magistrate Yang Qiu, so he was the county magistrate. However, from his military position as the General of the Central Army, we can see that the lord's favor for him is Wei Yan just one example. If you go, Brother Deng, you will definitely have other uses."
When Zhao Yan heard that Pei Qing was going to recruit Deng Zhi himself, he was also very happy because if Deng Zhi was valued, he would also be rewarded as the recommender. Xie Juzhen, who recommended Wei Yan, received a reward of 100,000 yuan for this matter.
Deng Zhi was also very happy to hear this. Although he was a descendant of the famous general Deng Yu, he was actually just an ordinary young man. He originally thought that Liu Biao was not a wise ruler in Xinye, so he went north to Wancheng and defected to Zhao Yan, but he did not expect that he would be personally inquired by General Pei Qing of the Cavalry. This was really surprising and surprising.
So Deng Zhi happily went to Chang'an to meet Pei Qing. He had already heard that Pei Qing was a person who knew people and was polite and respected, and now that Pei Qing could be inspected by himself, this was definitely an excellent opportunity for him.
"I must perform well this time. The opportunity is right in front of me. Whether I can seize it depends on myself." Deng Zhi thought silently, and at the same time made up his mind to show his abilities this time. A real man will walk in this world. He should follow his ancestor Deng Yu and set his fame. He will be famous in history and benefit future generations.
"The villain Deng Zhi pays homage to Mr. Pei." In Chang'an, Deng Zhi was soon received by Pei Qing's mansion. There was no difficulty in this, as if Pei Qing was fine and was waiting for him.
In fact, this is true. Pei Qing is of course very busy, but many ordinary things are handled by internal affairs experts such as Chen Qun. Only those particularly important things will be decided by Pei Qing himself, so he seems very relaxed and is waiting for Deng Zhi's arrival.
"Mr. Deng doesn't have to be too polite. I have heard of Mr. Deng for a long time. Today, I really feel extraordinary. Not to mention anything else, just looking at my husband's appearance is enough to endorse me."
After Pei Qing praised Deng Zhi, he immediately said to Deng Zhi: "I'm not hiding it, I'm in a difficult situation now that I want to ask Mr. to help me. I wonder if Mr. I'm willing to go there?"
"I don't know what it is? If Mr. Pei doesn't dislike him, the villain is willing to do his best for Mr. Pei." Deng Zhi knew that the opportunity to test him was here, so he immediately expressed his attitude, but he did not say enough, but continued: "I just don't know if this matter is within the scope of the villain's ability. The villain should listen to Mr. Pei's specific things. If the villain can do it, it will naturally be unavoidable, but if he can't do it, he will not dare to accept it casually, so as not to ruin Mr. Pei's affairs."
Pei Qing was very satisfied with Deng Zhi's attitude, because this was enough to prove that Deng Zhi was not the kind of person who was so arrogant that he could entrust important matters to him.
So Pei Qing smiled and said, "Sir, this is enough to prove that he is not a person who likes to speak loudly. In this way, I will be more at ease to entrust things to Mr. The matter is so. Mr. should know the relationship between the Huns and our Han Dynasty. At the beginning of this dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu depended on our dynasty and became a vassal state attached to our dynasty. However, due to the war, the Huns actually participated in the melee of the princes, took advantage of the waters, and obtained various benefits. Not only did they burn, kill, plunder and harmed my people. Fortunately, the resistance of such heroes as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao suppressed the ambitions of the Huns. In the first few days, the Huns still continued to burn, kill, and kill, and looted.
I have repeatedly invaded our prefectures and counties, such as Hongnong, who attacked General Zang Ba, colluded with bandits in Hedong, and harmed our people. Fortunately, General Zang Ba and General Xu Huang defeated them, and Fang Bao said the story of the people. However, after thinking about it, it is better to be quiet. The root cause is that the lack of materials for the Huns. Therefore, I pity the Huns and live a difficult life. I want to start a trade with the Huns, and exchange the salt, silk and other items of the Han Dynasty for the cattle, sheep, horses, gold, silver and other items of the Huns. It can not only communicate with each other, but also make the lives of the Huns slightly improve. However, I lack such negotiating talents around me. Seeing that my husband is extraordinary, I wonder if I want to go this trip for me?"
Deng Zhi thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a sigh: "Pei Gong is dedicated to the livelihood of the people of the Han Dynasty and the Huns. This is actually a kind and moral act. Even the Huns will be moved by Pei Gong's benevolence. The villain is willing to come to the Huns and their entourage to promote this for Pei Gong."
"Haha, I knew that sir would agree." Pei Qing was very happy when he heard this. He immediately appointed Deng Zhi as a guest, transferred to the ethnic minority and etiquette affairs under his rule, and entrusted Deng Zhi as the envoy to negotiate with the Xiongnu to negotiate with the Xiongnu.
