Birdjaguar said:Is TerrisH playing or has Wu gone NPC? This is significant, especially if I plan to woo them.
Birdjaguar said:Huang Di proclaims in casual banter
Send a horseman at a canter
And to the south in haste pursue
And find that rascal king of Wu
Bring us word of his demeanor
And if his city, next to ours, is cleaner;
We would know if he is well
And how as neighbors we might dwell;
You’ll find him there at river’s edge
Along the Yangtze, our nations’ hedge;
Speak to him, that mighty king,
And of his glories take time to sing.
And response from Anyang:TerrisH said:Ah.. Greetings.. we apologize for the lateness of our reply, but your mesenger was .. delayed by some people of a less civilized nature, and he was forced to wait a few weeks while our troops cleared out these.. ruffians.
we send you our greetings, and are sending an honor guard of 10 of our spearmen to escort you messenger to you, at least untill our mutual boarder. we would recomend that you also send an escort next time. a delay in comunication could lead to hasty action on one of our parts.
We wish to assure you , the peace will exist between us at this time, and we hope the Zhou will keep to themselves, but if thee wishes to deal with them, we would be most pleased.
From The Yellow Emperor, Sage King Huang Di to Lord Wu
Anyang agrees to peace with Wu;
Greetings I send south to you
And with them accept a gift or two:
Jade and silver, bird and beast,
Royal spices to adorn your feast;
A leopard cat from snowy mountain’s side,
A Bactrian from the desert wide;
Master Chang walks last in this procession
Skilled keeper he, be it Yin or Yang that’s in accession;
As to Zhou, they crowd our space,
And rumor has it, they are a warlike race.
Their army is rather large when compared to the attack force I sent.Cuivienen said:@andis-1: What? They're not that strong.
Birdjaguar said:Cuiv, will you reference previous orders and directives? Or do they need to be repeated?
