Chapter 95: Killing the envoy to vote, Ban Chao's story! (two in one chapter)

"Ahead is Linyuan County."

Zhao Yue has been running in the mountains for so many days, and now the sun is finally visible.

Looking up, the distance is no longer towering mountains, but a vast plain.

Linyuan County is located by the Yuanshui River, only a few tens of miles away from Yunmengze.

On the plain, the land is flat and wide, and the houses are like houses.

of course
The construction of the city naturally requires defense, so the location of Linyuan County is located on the edge of one of the few mountains on the plain.

Linyuan County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with undulating mountains and shrouded in clouds and mists. The only place without mountains faces the river, and Yuanshui serves as its moat.

Everyone marched into Linyuan County, the prosperity inside was far beyond Fei Yi's imagination.

I saw people coming and going on the wide streets in the city, horse-drawn carriages and vendors scrambling to shuttle back and forth.Exquisite stone beasts and bronze figures are carved on both sides of the city gate, which is extremely spectacular.Most of the houses in the city are built in a simple and simple way, with green and gray as the main color, and some houses hang the banners of wine shops and restaurants, which look very lively.

"I thought Wulingman was a barbaric place. I didn't want to see the situation in Linyuan County was different from what I thought."

For Zhongyuan, the flat land around Linyuan County is not a plain at all, but for Nanzhong, the place where Linyuan County is located can be said to be flat.

If you set up households here and measure the land for farming, the cost and harvest will definitely far exceed Nanzhong!
This is a good place.

Ma Liang got off the carriage, his appearance remained the same as when he came.

He has a thin appearance, slightly sunken cheeks, a pair of bright and energetic eyes, thick eyebrows tightly locked, and deep eyes, as if he can see through people's hearts.His forehead was slightly broad, and his high nose bridge and slender chin outlined a deep face.Wearing a blue silk robe with some exquisite patterns embroidered on it, it looks very elegant.

His whole body is so imposing that people can tell at a glance that he is the envoy of this envoy.

"Linyuan County attracts the surrounding people to come to make a living, and there is a market in the morning, which is naturally lively."

He glanced at Fei Yi beside him, smiled and said:

"Miao Wang's palace is in the city, show off the envoy's guard of honor, and meet Miao Wang Shamoke!"

"Yes!"

Everyone changed their outfits, and as soon as they entered the city, they were discovered by the soldiers in the city.

The messenger is here!
There is a palace in Linyuan County.

of course
It is said to be a royal palace, but in fact its size is only a little bigger than the official mansion. Not to mention the Chengdu State Shepherd's Mansion, it is even inferior to the royal palace in the Nanzhong Dali Royal City.

At this moment in the main hall, Miao Wang Sha Moke looked bitter. He looked at the document in his hand and was so angry that he pinched him into a ball and threw him on the ground.

"Sun Quan's children are too deceitful!"

He was panting heavily, the veins on his forehead were swollen, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he looked ferocious, as if he wanted to devour people.

"Why is the amount of tribute paid this month double that of last month? Could it be that he, Sun Quan, thinks that I, Sha Moke, can let him ask for it at will?"

According to the original division, Wuling County belongs to Liu Bei's sphere of influence, but now Liu Bei has put the main force in Hanzhong, and Nanzhong is unable to govern, let alone Wuling.

Sun Quan naturally came to infiltrate Wuling County.

After all, for Sun Quan, wouldn't it be good to take it?
Isn't that stupid?
But he didn't dare to do too much, so he had to come forward to receive the offerings. If you give, I will let you go, but if you don't, the army will immediately overwhelm the country, loot the surrounding area, and kill the people!

Once before, Sha Moke refused to accept Sun Quan, but was overwhelmed by the army, and tens of thousands of people in Wuling County were taken away.

That's why even if Sha Moke was dissatisfied in his heart, before he had no strength to resist, he had no choice but to be a man with his tail between his legs, sending tribute to Jianye every month.

"My Wuling was originally the land of Liu Huangshu, and Sun Quan's little son An dares to bully people too much!"

Hey ~
He clenched his fists tightly, but thinking of the painful lesson before, he could only sigh, chewing up the humiliation and swallowing it.

The emperor's uncle is not here, when will I, Sha Moke, be able to feel proud?
Just when Shamoke was dejected, the steward ran into the door to report.

"Your Majesty, I saw a group of people claiming to be envoys from Chengdu in the city. They said that they were envoys to Wuling because of the heavy responsibility of your son!"

An envoy from Chengdu?
Shamoko was about to jump up.

"quick!"

He got up immediately, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Invite the envoys into the main hall soon."

But as if he had thought of something, he waved his hand to stop the steward who was about to leave, and said, "If not, it would be too disrespectful for the Chengdu envoy. I will go to greet him in person!"

He hastily changed into a decent attire, and followed the steward out of the 'Miao Palace'. After walking for a long time, he saw the envoy's guard of honor on the main road in the city.

He greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Little Wang Shamoke, pay homage to the Chengdu envoy!"

He put his posture very low, and immediately bowed to see him.

"Hahaha~"

Ma Liang laughed, his feet were quick and his hands were sick, and he helped Sha Moke who was about to kneel down.

"Why does the king need to perform such a great gift? Get up quickly."

Sha Moke took advantage of the trend, and seeing Ma Liang's extraordinary temperament, he couldn't help but feel good about him.

"Angel, please!"

Angel means the envoy of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Bei is not the emperor now, and Ma Liang can't be called an angel, but he didn't correct Shamoko's spoken mistakes. In the eyes of these barbarians, Liu Bei is actually the future emperor.

With this layer of halo, it can better win the hearts of the people of Wuling Man.

The people went all the way, and soon entered the Miao Palace, and arrived at the main hall of the Miao Palace.

"Messenger, please take your seat."

Sha Moke is humble, and actually wants to give up the throne to Ma Liang.

"Your Majesty's kindness, I appreciate it with all my heart, but I still invite Your Majesty to take your seat."

Ma Liang smiled and welcomed Sha Moke to the main throne, and after he sat down, he knelt down on the first seat below.

"We haven't said why we are here as an envoy, isn't Your Majesty curious?"

Sha Moke smiled and said: "I heard that the young master put down the Nanzhong rebellion, and now he is sending angels here. I am afraid that he wants to close my Wuling land, but?"

Ma Liang waved his hand, Fei Yi understood, and handed over the document in his hand to the copybook in front of the throne.

"Your Majesty please watch it."

Although Sha Moke was born as a general, he was not illiterate. He picked up the documents and began to read them carefully.

"The humerus of the country, Miao King Shamoke, I am entrusted by the destiny to give the watch to Wuling."

After a long time, Shamoke raised his head slowly, and said to Ma Liang, "Xiao Wang already knows what you mean, sir!"

He put the inscriptions on the case and said: "My lord intends to imprison Wuling, and even plot against the barbarians in Yangzhou Mountains. I agree with this matter. It will cause turmoil for Sun Quan's son, make him burnt out, and make him unable to look after each other from head to toe. ! Give him some color to see!"

Thinking of the bullying he suffered from Sun Quan these days, his hatred for Sun Quan increased in his heart.

Now that he can trip Sun Quan, how could he not agree?
"only."

He raised his head and glanced at Ma Liang quietly, and said, "It's okay to hand over Meng Huo, and it's also possible to harass the hinterland of Yangzhou, but does your lord have a large army to come here to help?"

If there is no large army coming, relying on his Wuling barbarian strength and the combat effectiveness of the army, it is impossible to be Sun Quan's opponent.

Don't let him tease Sun Quan with his front feet, and make him angry. Sun Quan sent a large army to attack, but the young master Liu Chan didn't send any troops at all.

When the time comes, he will be beaten up and the people will suffer heavy losses, so who can he turn to for reasoning?

If you want him to be obedient, you must have substantial support!

Shamoke simply confessed.

"Angel, to tell you the truth, Sun Quan's son has been forcing me to wait for the tribute, and to send food, grass and supplies to Jianye every month. Otherwise, he would bring a large army to plunder the people. My soldiers are not enough to withstand Sun Quan's advance. , so we have no choice but to let the people be plundered by him.”

Sha Moke glanced at Ma Liang, saw that his expression was normal, and continued: "If the young master can't raise a large army to rescue him, I'm afraid that Xiao Wang will not follow his orders."

"Hahaha~"

Ma Liang raised his head and laughed loudly, and said: "What is my way? It was originally a matter of raising troops to help. Since we want the king to obey his orders, we naturally have to express it. Does the king know that Nanzhong is under the master's control?"

Sha Moke nodded and said, "How could I not know about this? Meng Huo is now at my house."

"Since your Majesty knows that you have already occupied Nanzhong, you understand that you can use the strength of Nanzhong. To be honest, you have recruited soldiers in Nanzhong, and you have built an army called Wudang Feijun with a strength of [-]. With an army of fifty thousand coming to support, is your majesty still afraid of Sun Quan?"

He also has 3 to [-] people under his command, but his combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Sun Quan's regular army.

If he could have the support of 5 people from Gongzi Wudang's flying army, then Sun Quan's troubles would be nothing to worry about.

He thought for a while and said, "Young Master, are you really willing to send troops?"

"Why do you have any doubts, my lord? Once the young master said, it's hard to catch a horse. He said in the inscription document that he wanted to keep Wuling safe?"

Sha Moke picked up the document again, took a closer look, and found that there was indeed such an expression, and his heart calmed down a little.

"Young master not only wants to send troops, but also rewards the king. I pretended to be a caravan along the way. There were three carriages in the caravan. The carriages contained all gold and silver treasures, weapons and armor. In addition"

He glanced at Fei Yi, and the latter understood again. At this moment, he was holding a mahogany plate in his hand. On the plate was a sheriff's official robe and a seal.

"To show your sincerity, the young master specially named you the prefect of Wuling. So far, does your majesty still have doubts?"

Everyone has the love of money.

As soon as he heard that there were three carts of gold and silver treasures, weapons and armor, Sha Moke believed Ma Liang's words a little bit, and then heard that the young master Liu Chan ordered him to be the prefect of Wuling, and the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared. .

Since he is the prefect of Wuling, he has an official body. Now, the young master will not ignore him, will he?

"My lord is so sincere, if I say anything else, I will be ignorant of good and evil."

Sha Moke stood up, beat his chest with his right hand, and said loudly: "I, Sha Moke, will obey the command of the young master!"

"it is good!"

Ma Liang also got up, and at this moment, the warm smile on his face was no longer there.

Earlier, he showed his sincerity and benefited Sha Moke, so now is the time for Sha Moke to show his sincerity.

"I heard that Meng Huo is now in the Miao Palace?"

Sha Moke didn't know what Ma Liang meant.

"I will send Meng Huo prison here."

Although Meng Huo had friendship with him, the friendship was not as solid as gold and stone.

Furthermore, even if it is as solid as gold and stone, so what?

After adding money, it can still be sold!
Good brother, good friend, isn't it for sale?

"I'm not in a hurry to see Meng Huo."

After Shamoke expressed his obedience, Meng Huo was already in his pocket.

"What does the angel mean?"

Ma Liang chuckled and said, "Since Sun Quan wants you to pay tribute, there must be a mission here too?"

Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Even Shamoke couldn't help shivering when he saw it.

"In the palace, there is the Jiangdong mission. What does the angel mean?"

"Wuling is the land of the lord, and Sun Quan has already crossed the line. How can he ask you to pay tribute every month? First capture and kill the envoy, leave a messenger alive, send it to Jianye, and show Jiangdong your attitude!"

If all the members of the Jiangdong Mission were killed, then Samoko would have no way out.

kill
Still don't kill?

Sha Moke hesitated a little, but when he looked up, he saw Ma Liang's playful expression, and his body suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Now he also knows that he should not hesitate.

Samoko had only one choice, and he had already made his choice.

"Xiao Wang immediately led someone to put their necks on their heads and sent them to the angels."

"it is good!"

Ma Liang picked up the wine bottle that was on the table before standing up, bowed to Sha Moke, and said: "I believe that the king will be grateful for today's choice in the future. With the son here, Wuling will not have to pay tribute in the future. In the future, the king will be happy." It must be thriving!"

Sha Moke didn't say any more, and immediately held the scimitar, and led the left and right to rush out of the Miao Palace. Not long after, he heard a sound of killing, but the sound of killing only lasted for a quarter of an hour. Then stopped.

"Look, Angel!"

Sha Moke held a scimitar and was covered in blood. He held a big head in his hand, and he looked like a ghost crawling out of hell, especially ferocious.

"This is Jiangdong's envoy, and now I have decapitated him!"

"it is good!"

Ma Liang personally poured a bottle of warm wine and handed it to Shamoke.

"Your Majesty is so sincere, I know it. Now that you and I are honest with each other, we can discuss the next big plan."

Stir up the Shanyue rebellion, win over the Changsha barbarians, and disturb the situation in Jiaozhou.

As long as one of these three goals can be achieved, Sun Quan will be devastated.

"The angel is so sincere, how can I not obey, please!"

Sun Quan has been bullied these days, and now it is finally time to feel proud.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

Is he Shamoko easy to bully?
