Chapter 701: Exchange of Envoys(2/2)
But Sima Yi certainly would not explain to him.
"Your Majesty has been waiting in the city for a long time. Chen Zhuan asked." Sima Yi did not even greet Chen and reached out to inspire him.
"I'm in trouble." Chen Gong could only suppress the doubts in his heart and bent down.
Immediately, the two of them got on a carriage together and entered the city under the protection of their respective guards.
As soon as he entered the city, Mr. Chen felt a prosperous atmosphere.
Yes, the prosperity of Xiangyang was the foundation laid by Liu Biao. However, as early as when Cao Cao went south, a large number of the gentry migrated into the north, and Xiangyang quickly weakened.
Later, Kou Feng took over Xiangyang and used Kuai Yue as the prefect. He moved a group of officials into Xiangyang. His political status was improved, and merchants and scholars rushed in.
Today, Xiangyang can be said to be the best in Chu State and is prosperous.
Although Gongsun Kang of Liaodong had hundreds of thousands of people and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, Liaodong was so bitter and cold that there was such a prosperous city. Even caravans rarely stopped in Liaodong.
And what about Xiangyang? There are traffic jams and countless caravans come in and out every day.
Its prosperity may not be accessible even in the north of Xudu, let alone in Liaodong.
Mr. Chen was also shocked by this prosperity at once.
A kind of insignificance, even a faint fear, arises in my heart.
By looking at a city, you can see the whole country. How powerful is Chu State? Is it rumored that the gang is good at governing the country and raising troops?
The prestige of Chu is the best in the world.
