Chapter 581 Wu She’s strength and eagerness to make achievements!
It is precisely because of this outstanding diplomatic ability that Wu She is now able to sit firmly in the second row of the Southern Territory Court. In the Southern Territory Court, officials are divided into three different rows according to their official positions and achievements, and the difference in their positions also represents a huge difference in status.
The officials in the third row, although they can also enter the court, are mostly ordinary officials with relatively low status. The reason why they can gain a foothold in the court is mainly because of their positions. However, the people in this row are basically dispensable and may be replaced at any time. Whether an official has sufficient ability is important, but after having the ability, whether he can win the trust of the high-ranking officials is another key factor.
Most of the people standing in the second row were capable and had initially won the trust of Gao Yao. Although these people were not as important as the core figures in the first row, they were also the backbone of the Southern Territory court.
As for the officials in the first row, they are basically core figures, such as Xiao He, Cao Shen, Han Xin, Li Si, Feng Quji and others. They are either Gao Yao's confidants or hold important positions, and they play a pivotal role in the court of the Southern Territory. Even someone like Feng Quji, who is not loyal to Gao Yao, is ranked in the first row because of his important position. After all, he has done a lot of practical things in the Southern Territory, many large and small official duties, and the reading of various documents. Feng Quji will deal with the political opinions of various places, and the final review will be in the hands of Gao Yao.
If Feng Quji was really just a decoration, Gao Yao would have discarded him long ago and no longer used him. How could he have kept Feng Quji? Wu She was a surrendered general, and because of the previous plot against the Black Armored Cavalry, there were actually quite a few people in the army who had opinions about Wu She. Although they served different masters at the time, it was still inevitable that there would be some influence. After all, the Black Armored Cavalry was the most elite cavalry under Gao Yao's command. They were able to dominate the battlefield and were the trump card in Gao Yao's hand. Their influence was still not small.
As for Wu She, he was originally a surrendered general. You know, at that time, it was not easy for a surrendered general to stand out and make a name for himself. After all, in people's traditional concepts, surrendered generals are often regarded as disloyal and unrighteous people. Therefore, if Wu She wanted to gain enough status and power, he had to do some things that ordinary people dare not do and that were somewhat risky.
Fortunately, Wu She had his own advantages, that is, he was good at psychological analysis and had excellent eloquence. These two talents were very useful under the circumstances at that time. With his talent in this area, Wu She repeatedly made contributions and solved many problems for Gao Yao.
Gao Yao was no fool, and he knew very well that if he could persuade the enemy to surrender and accept reorganization through words, it would save much time and effort than to fight with real swords and guns. Therefore, when he found that Wu She had such talent in this regard, he would definitely choose this method to deal with the problem without hesitation.
As for Wu She, he did not disappoint Gao Yao's expectations and performed very well in this regard. Gao Yao saw this and naturally would not be stingy with his rewards. In this way, Wu She relied on his own abilities to gain a firm foothold under Gao Yao step by step, and also obtained a position that many people envied.
Wu She is now only one step away from the core layer. As long as he works a little harder, he will basically have the opportunity to enter the core layer. You know, this is not an easy thing for a surrendered general. After all, among the many surrendered generals, only Wu She has achieved this step.
As for Zhang Liang and Ying Bu, although they were also subordinates of Gao Yao, they were different from Wu She in that they were recruited, not surrendered generals, so there is not much comparison between them.
As Wu She slowly stepped off the carriage, his eyes were attracted by the scene before him. At the gate of the Hengshan King's residence, two rows of soldiers stood like steel, wearing bright armor, holding long spears, with solemn expressions and high morale.
Wu She's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous smile. He thought to himself: "A gentleman is strong inside, not outside. Now Wu Rui is deploying his troops like this, just to show off his power." In Wu She's view, this approach is nothing more than bluffing, which just exposes Wu Rui's inner anxiety and lack of confidence.
Wu She couldn't help but think of the scenes when Gao Yao met with people from all walks of life. Whether facing small warlords, rebel leaders, or envoys from the Maurya Kingdom, Gao Yao always behaved in a friendly and easy-going manner without any airs. He never did these fancy tricks to show off his power, because he was full of confidence in his heart and did not need to use these superficial efforts to show his majesty.
Just as Wu She was thinking, a soldier suddenly shouted loudly: "Stop! My king has ordered that the envoys need to be inspected before entering the palace!"
This sudden shout interrupted Wu She's thoughts. He looked carefully and saw that the soldier had a serious face and was uncompromising.
When Wu She heard this, his face showed undisguised contempt and disdain. He sneered and said, "Inspect? I am an envoy representing the King of Qin! What qualifications do you have to inspect me? You are not worthy at all! Today, whoever dares to get close to me, I will make sure he dies without a burial place!"
Wu She's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in front of the Hengshan King's residence. The faces of the soldiers who were originally standing straight suddenly became extremely ugly, and some of them even quietly put their hands on the swords at their waists, obviously intimidated by Wu She's momentum, but did not dare to act rashly.
Wu She showed no fear. He walked straight to the leading soldier, stared at him sharply, and said sternly: "Why, you don't dare to do anything? Then get out of my way! I am here on the orders of the King of Qin to be an envoy to the King of Hengshan. This is a matter of national importance! If the business is delayed because of your obstruction, you will lose several heads!"
After saying that, Wu She waved his hand fiercely, directly pushed away the two soldiers blocking his way, and then strode towards the Hengshan Palace. Although the leading general was furious at Wu She's rude behavior, he still didn't dare to really take action, and could only watch Wu She walk away.
After all, Wu She has already arrived here. The greatest authority of these soldiers is to show their power, but whether they can do it depends on their personal ability. As for killing Wu She directly, they really don't dare to do it. Wu Rui really doesn't dare to do it either. If they really kill Wu She like this, not only will they lose face, but they will also force Gao Yao to attack Nanjun with all his strength.
