Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1257
It can be said that the Tiefu envoy was able to pass through the long frontier and Monan, especially to successfully reach the sphere of influence of Zhao State, bypassing the eyes and ears of Dai State. It can also be said to be full of hardships. The ground is frozen, and by the time we arrive in Youzhou, late spring has already passed and summer is about to enter.

When they set off, there were hundreds of strong and strong warriors from the clan, but when they actually arrived in Zhao State, there were only a dozen or so people left, including Liu Wuhuan's eldest son, Xi Wuqi.As for the others, they either died in various dangers on the way, or fled privately because they were afraid of the hardships ahead.

The rest of the dozens of people are all in a state of distress. As for some of the goods they carried for tribute, they are naturally lost. The most ridiculous thing is the token used to prove their identity, which is actually the old Han Dynasty. Emperor Liu Cong bestowed the seal of General Anbei to Liu Hu.

But in any case, it is gratifying to be able to successfully reach the State of Zhao. Xi Wuqi also told General Youzhou Town of the State of Zhao how much they, the Saibei Hu tribe, yearned for the great Zhao Enwei, and the generals of the State of Zhao would naturally not care too much about it. We also know that in recent years, the king of heaven likes this kind of Hu tribe's distant barbarians to pay homage, so he sent people to escort them to the south.

The envoys of the Ministry of Tiefu were all deeply touched when they actually entered the territory of Zhao State. Xi Wuqi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "China's mountains and rivers are really beautiful. I hate that I was born in the wild and cannot enjoy this environment often. An Le..."

In fact, the current Youzhou is far from prosperous and rich. This territory is not the most fertile place among the Xias. In the past few years, there have been constant wars, because there are many deserts in the territory.But even so, the mountains, rivers, climate and environment of Youzhou are not comparable to the bitter cold place in Shuofang.

Seeing many deserted fields along the way, these Tiefu envoys couldn't help sighing in private, and even felt distressed.Although these fields are deserted, they are lush with vegetation. Whether they are used for grazing or reclamation, they are excellent places. Yushang is definitely a resting place worthy of fighting and fighting for many tribes.

But in the current Youzhou area, this kind of barren land can be seen everywhere, stretching into stretches.The envoys of the Ministry of Tiefu couldn't help talking in private: "The Great Zhao Tianwang got it from the fertile land of China, but he left it barren and didn't do pastoral farming. It may not be able to keep it for a long time..."

These frontier pawns suddenly came to China, especially just as passers-by, and still maintained a certain simplicity.But when they entered the territory of Jizhou, there were more and more people, and there were many serf households on both sides of the road busy with spring plowing. After passing through many cities and towns, they saw a large number of goods, and only then did they know the beauty of China. Far beyond their imagination.

Especially when they saw the arrogant soldiers escorting them, extorting and looting goods along the way, few of them dared to refuse.

"It is the injustice of God's will that people who are so cowardly and dare not fight for it can enjoy this uniquely rich and beautiful world! All the bravery of my clan are as brave as wolves and tigers, but because they are short of knowledge It is really unsatisfactory for father and son to be trapped in the barren land on the frontier to make a living! The King of Zhao is nothing more than a mere bastard. The Kingdom of Heaven is inexhaustible, so why can't our clan?"

Xi Wuqi told the people in private that although he entered China in the early days of the day, he only had a quick glance at the flowers, but what he saw had already touched him so much that he didn't even want to go back to the cold frontier shortage.

When the other clansmen heard this, they also nodded repeatedly: "The bravery in our clan is not afraid of death, and we have never lacked the courage to fight for our lives. It’s better than dying of hunger and cold in the frontier!”

Not to mention how many thoughts these Tiefu envoys had in their hearts along the way, when they arrived at Jingxing Shihu's king's tent, the shock they received was even greater.

The huge camp of tens of miles of the mighty company is bigger than the clan land where their tribes live together, and the brave soldiers who come and go in and out of the camp, if they pull out a team at random, the number is far greater than them All clans can fight!
"The ability to control ten people is already the elder among the people. This His Majesty the Heavenly King is able to make such thousands of people bow their heads and obey orders. If it is not for the destiny, how can this be done by manpower... ..."

Originally, Xi Wuqi still had the ambition to win against China in his heart, but when he saw such a majestic army of Zhao State, he was stunned for a moment, and he no longer dared to think presumptuously with his entourage.

These tribal warriors are indeed full of ferocity and courage to fight for their lives, but if they are enemies with such a majestic army, it is no longer fighting for their lives, but simply dying!
After a group of people entered the camp, like quails, they obeyed Zhao Jun's arrangement and lived in a fairly spacious camp, and then waited for a long time to be received by the king of heaven.

And in the process, they also saw other envoys from the Hu tribe who came from far away to express their surrender, whether in Saibei or Monan, and they realized that in the eyes of the overlord of Hebei, Shi Tianwang, these people were really just like ants. .

This time the Tiefu people's self-awareness is not bad, in the eyes of Shi Hu and even his subordinates, there is really nothing special about them.

The king of heaven came to the northern border, proclaiming his prestige far away from the barbarians. There were countless Hu tribes, large and small, who came to seek refuge in the kingdom, either to seek the vanity of the feudal entrustment, or to beg the state of Zhao to allow them to survive in the border.The Tiefu Department may still be called a powerful force in Saibei, but after arriving here, it really doesn't show the slightest bit of specialness.

You must know that even the suzerain Daiguo at the head of their tribe is just a vassal in the northern border of Zhao State. It is really a bit overwhelming for them to express their surrender to King Shi Tian and discuss military strategy in person.

But fortunately, after they were lucky, after handing in the talismans representing their identities, because they were a little sensitive, it was inevitable that they would provoke Shi Hu's nerves. The national keepsake walked into his camp.

Because of this occasional thought, these Tiefu talents avoided waiting in the camp like others to be interviewed, and were summoned in advance for several months or even more than a year.

Xi Wuqi tremblingly walked into the king's tent, and before he even opened his mouth, he bowed his head to the ground to pay homage. As a bearded beard, he really didn't know how the Chinese worship etiquette was.

And this kind of clumsiness in Shi Hu's eyes made him feel better, especially this Xi Wuqi was tall and strong, even among the barbarians, he was quite tall, such a person trembled and crawled On the ground, it will naturally make the superior venerable feel more pleasing to the eye.

So Shi Hu was also rare and gentle, and asked someone to help the Hun soldier up and put him in the seat, and then asked him why he came.

Although Xi Wuqi was vulgar by nature, he also kept in mind his father's teachings before he left, and only responded with respect and humility, from various sources.

After the first Shihu listened to it, his face darkened suddenly and he snorted coldly: "Since Saihu surrendered to the acting master, he should obey the acting master's orders and guard the land safely. Why did he travel so far to enter my tent to work?" This servant attitude?"

Xi Wuqi was already in a disturbed mood. Hearing Shi Tianwang's angry tone, he hastily rolled up from his seat and prostrated himself to worship again. He said in a trembling voice: "I grew up in a barren land, and I know that the might of the king is as high as the sky. All living beings have it." Desire, such as the great luck of the tiger and leopard outside the tent to come out of the mountains and be fed by the king, the animals are willing to serve the king bravely, not to mention us little bearded beards with human nature. These far-off beards bow down to him, but they still yearn for the real light of heaven's grace..."

Hearing this, Shi Hu couldn't help laughing, and let Xi Wuqi stand up, looking at him with admiration: "It's surprising that there are such knowledgeable warriors in Saihu. I will compare tigers and leopards, I would like to see the pros and cons of the two, do you dare to compete?"

After Xi Wuqi heard this, he was slightly astonished at first, but he realized after a while, cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the skills are vulgar and offend the majesty of the king."

"I am the sun hanging high, how can I bother the slaves to offend me?"

While speaking, Shi Hu asked the tiger under the tent to carry it into an iron fence several feet wide and set it up directly in the big tent, and then let Xi Wuqi personally choose the beasts to fight.Seeing that Xi Wuqi did not seek refuge and chose the weak, but chose a strong and fat black bear, Shi Hu couldn't help but become more excited.

Na Xi Wuqi rejected the iron armor offered by the warrior in the tent, but chose a sharp knife and a light leather protective gear, and rushed into the fence after a little preparation.

After some fighting, the black bear fell to the ground, and Xi Wuqi was also covered with cuts and bruises, and one leg was bitten and beaten by the black bear so badly that it was almost broken.He also just gritted his teeth and persisted, first refused to heal the wound, lay down on the ground and licked the blood stains that flowed on the felt in the tent with his mouth, repeatedly pleaded guilty and damned, even defiled the king's tent.

As a result, Shi Hu couldn't help being more satisfied with Xi Wuqi, and he laughed directly and said: "Such a brave warrior should not be buried in the frontier. The talisman order you presented earlier was a correction from the false emperor of the former Han Dynasty. You should have been condemned and beheaded, but I pity your talent, and you are a Senu who is alienated from the king's law, so I forgive you for now."

After Xi Wuqi heard the words, he nodded his head again and again to thank him, ignoring the bloody wounds on his body.

Shi Hu cherished the bravery of this Sai Nu and was humble. Instead of pursuing his previous crimes, he was directly awarded the title of Yamen General in the tent, and later sent someone to carry him down for medical treatment. Ask why.
