At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 284: Massacre of guards, arrogant at first and respectful at the end

The eminent monks and the monks who came out to greet him looked at the translator with a look of horror on his face, but they did not translate what the Chinese envoy said, and they all frowned slightly.

When the Han envoy saw this, he immediately held his head high and said to the translator: "Translate what I said word for word!"

The translator wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then tremblingly translated all the words of the messenger.

When the monks heard the words of the interpreter, even the leader of the Taoist monks, their faces darkened, and then stepped forward and said: "Since you are the envoy of the kingdom, you should know the etiquette. The king has a noble status, how can you leave the palace in person?" Welcome?"

(Translation will be automatically ignored later, and all dialogues will be translated content.)
The Han envoy gently shook the three-foot-stick staff in his hand and shouted: "You small countries are barbarian countries. Compared with my big Han Dynasty, they are no more than a county. As an envoy of the Han Dynasty, I naturally represent the face of the Han family and am not the leader of the country. You can’t welcome it!”

"The leader of the Shan Kingdom personally led his people out of the city to welcome him. I only asked the leader of the Piao Kingdom to come out of the palace to welcome him. This is already the end of my kindness and righteousness. Do you want to insult the face of my Han family?"

The Han envoy's words were sonorous and powerful, and the guards who followed from Nanzhong held the hilts of their swords tightly, showing no fear.

On the other hand, the two hundred elite guards sent by the Shan Kingdom had earth-colored faces at this time, and a look of fear in their eyes, fearing that the Han envoys would anger the Pyu soldiers and cause death for themselves.

Although the eminent monk was upset, he had good Qi-nurturing skills after all. In addition, since the matter was serious, he did not dare to offend the Han envoys rashly, so he immediately sent someone to inform the king of the matter.

Palace Hall.

When the leader of the Piao Kingdom learned of the Han envoy's unreasonable demands and his disdain for the Piao Kingdom, he immediately became furious and cursed: "How dare you insult me, a traitor?"

The contemporary ruler of Piao was not a weak monarch and was extremely aggressive. Otherwise, he would not have taken advantage of the civil strife in the Han Dynasty and had no time to look south to send troops to attack Shan and annex it.

The more talented and strategic a monarch is, the more he cannot tolerate others insulting him.

What's more, although the Han Dynasty is powerful, it has fallen into civil strife after all, and there is still Shan State between it and Piao State, so the leader of Piao State is not very afraid.

He immediately shouted sternly: "Come here, kill all the two hundred guards sent by the Shan State first. I want to see if this Han envoy will still be so arrogant!"

Ever since he learned that the Shan State had sent two hundred elites to escort the Han envoys into the country, the leader of the Pyu State had no intention of letting them leave.

The two countries are feuding and are now at war. For such a small country, the two hundred elites are definitely a powerful force. Keeping them in Piao will not be a small blow to Shan.

The leader of the Pyu State was still thinking about how to find an excuse to keep the two hundred elites of the Shan State. The Han envoy made such a cunning move, and the leader of the Piao State immediately found an excuse.

Following the order of the Lord of Piao, more than a thousand soldiers immediately filed out and soon surrounded the Han envoy and the two hundred Shan soldiers.

The leading general of Pyu State shouted sternly: "You Shan soldiers entered our country of Pyu without permission and want to assassinate the leader of our country?"

"If you put down your weapons, you can still survive. If not, you will be punished for this!"

When the generals who commanded the two hundred elite Shan Kingdom heard this, their expressions changed greatly, and they stepped forward and shouted: "We have no ill intentions, but we are here to escort the envoys from the superior kingdom!"

"lay down your weapon!"

However, the Piao general did not listen to the explanation and shouted sharply again. His soldiers even picked up their crossbows and looked at these people with murderous intent.

The Shan general was frightened and looked at the Han envoy for help.

Unexpectedly, the Han envoy always watched with cold eyes, as if he didn't care about the life or death of both parties.

Seeing that the Shan soldiers still did not put down their weapons, a ferocious smile gradually appeared on the Piao general's face, and he immediately shouted to the Han envoy: "Please move the envoy of the Shan Kingdom to avoid accidentally injuring you."

The Han envoy was not afraid at all, and still stood where he was, unmoved and said: "I will stand here, and I will not go anywhere unless you, the lord of the country, greet me in person!"

The Piao general had an angry look on his face, and then shouted sternly: "Go ahead and kill all those Shan people!"

War broke out.

Although the two hundred Shan soldiers were considered elite in their own country, they were now away from home. Their numbers were far smaller than their opponents, and they did not have the advantage of weapons. They soon suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the soldiers on both sides were afraid of the might of the Han Dynasty. Even the generals of the Piao Kingdom did not dare to do anything before getting orders from the king. They had already privately ordered the soldiers to be careful not to hurt the Han envoys and their entourage.

Just like that, a very miraculous phenomenon occurred outside King Piao's palace. The two sides had already fought their wits, but there were a few people in front of them and there was no one around them. No one dared to approach.

This is the deterrence of a strong country against a weak country. Even if it only sends envoys, the other party will not dare to offend.

"Stop it quickly, we are willing to put down our weapons!"

When the Shan general saw this, he couldn't help but his eyes were splitting. He knew that if he and others continued to fight, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, so he immediately shouted sharply.

"stop!"

Piao soldiers also suffered casualties at this time. Since the other side was willing to surrender, Piao generals naturally did not want to continue fighting and lose their own troops in vain, so they immediately ordered their soldiers to withdraw from the battle circle.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Shan soldiers were relieved, and at the general's order, they threw away their weapons.

The Han envoy had a clear view of everything, but there was an undetectable look of sarcasm on his face.

He had already seen that the Piao generals vented all their anger on the Shan soldiers. Even if the Shan soldiers laid down their weapons, they might not be able to escape the fate of being massacred.

It is better to fight to the death than to be slaughtered later without any weapons.

However, he came here just to cause trouble. Those Shan soldiers were not Han, and the Han envoy did not intend to remind them.

On the contrary, the more Piao goes to the extreme, the more successfully the purpose of the Han envoy's trip will be accomplished.

"Take away all the weapons!"

as predicted.

When the Piao general saw this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to take away all the weapons on the ground, and then said with a ferocious face: "Kill without mercy!"

When the Shan general saw this, he was shocked and shouted: "We have already laid down our weapons, why do you still want to kill them all?"

The general of Piao State laughed and said: "I have just given you a chance, but you have not put down your weapons. Since the fighting has begun and some of my soldiers have been killed, then you will all be buried with them."

No matter which era, whether there are weapons in hand or not, there is a huge difference in combat effectiveness, and the unarmed will be easily slaughtered.

"Pfft!" The Piao general personally beheaded the Shan general and cut off his head. Then he walked up to the Han envoy and said in a deep voice: "Your envoy, would you like to follow me into the palace to meet the king?"

The general of Piao Kingdom, who was covered in blood, was holding a human head in his left hand and a sharp blade in his right hand, with murderous intent on his face and threats in his eyes.

This is a typical example of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, intending to break down the psychological defense of the Han envoys and make them fearful.

This is the best way to make the Han envoy bow his head without offending the big Han.

Unexpectedly, the young Han envoy was not afraid, but his face was as cold as frost, and he shouted in a deep voice: "These Shan soldiers, since they are my guards, naturally represent the face of the Han family. You slaughtered them all in front of my eyes, so we can see that there are What will happen?"

When General Piao saw that the other party was not afraid at all and instead threatened him, he became furious and wanted to kill him on the spot.

However, the strength of the Han Dynasty finally made people fearful. Even though the general of Piao State controlled the palace guards and was a high-ranking and powerful person, he did not dare to make any mistakes.

He immediately gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you think will happen?"

The Han envoy laughed several times, and then said in a calm tone: "South Vietnam killed the Han envoy and slaughtered it as nine counties; King Wan killed the Han envoy and hung his head on the North Tower; North Korea killed the Han envoy and killed him immediately!"

"The king of Loulan came back to kill the Han envoys. Fu Jiezi went deep into Loulan and killed them on the spot. Jiezi told everyone in Loulan: The king is guilty of the Han Dynasty. The emperor sent me to kill the king. I should replace the prince who is hostage in the Han Dynasty. The Han soldiers have just arrived, don't do it. If you dare to move, if you move, you will destroy the country!"

"The people in Loulan were afraid of the might of the Han Dynasty and feared that the country would be destroyed, so they did not dare to move. Jiezi returned with the king's head."

"The Chanyu of the Zhizhi killed the Han envoy Gu Ji, Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou ran thousands of miles to attack, beheaded the heads of the Zhizhi, killed the Yan clan, the prince, and the famous king, and killed 510, 45 people, and surrendered more than a thousand people. . The heads of all the people were beheaded and hung in the mansions of the barbarians as a sign that those who are thousands of miles away will surely be killed no matter how far away they are."

"How does the Piao Kingdom compare to Nanyue, Wan, Korea, Loulan, and the Northern Xiongnu?"

Although the Han envoy's tone was calm, the words he spoke were like thunder. After being translated, the Piao soldiers all changed their minds.

The Pyu general who had just been so proud of killing the Shan soldiers felt chills running down his spine and fear in his eyes even as he listened to the translated content.

Although the Pyu generals did not know much about the countries mentioned by the Han envoys, and some had even never heard of them, the once powerful South Vietnam and the Northern Huns had also heard about them, and they were much stronger than the Pyu Kingdom today.

He restrained his murderous intention towards the Han envoy, hurriedly summoned his confidants, and ordered them to inform the king of the Han envoy's words.

We haven't reached the Tang Dynasty yet, so this Piao general still doesn't know. In later generations, the mission was kidnapped and killed, and Wang Xuance destroyed a country by himself.

Although these contents said by the Han envoys are not as well-known in later generations as the allusions about Wang Xuance's destruction of the country, in fact they are not much inferior.

From this we can also see how powerful the Han Dynasty was and how majestic the Han envoys were.

For small barbarian countries, the only outcome of killing Han envoys is the destruction of the country.This was not a verbal threat, but something that actually happened.

Palace Hall.

The king of the country, who was waiting for the good news to come, was so frightened that his face turned pale after listening to his subordinates' retelling. After thinking about it again and again, he finally made up his mind to go out of the palace to greet the Han envoy in person.

Palace gate.

The young Han envoy and several of his followers stood in a pool of dead blood, standing proudly without any fear, but with a look of arrogance on their faces.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Piao Kingdom who had been killing everyone just now were retreating far away, looking at the Han envoys with awe in their eyes.

"Tap Tap!"

Not long after, hurried footsteps were heard at the entrance of the palace, but it was the Lord of Piao who led all his ministers to personally come to the entrance of the palace to greet the Han envoy.

He looked at the corpses and blood on the ground at the entrance of the palace, and immediately turned to the general and yelled: "Although these Shan people are our country's feuds, you can't kill people in front of the envoys of the higher country!"

After speaking, he hurriedly turned to the Han envoy, clasped his hands, and saluted: "My generals did not obey the rules and rashly rushed into the envoy from the Kingdom of China. Please don't blame me!"

"Everyone in our country has great respect for our superior country and would never dare to harm the noble envoy. However, the Piao and Shan countries have been grudges for a long time. The officers and soldiers under my command could not help but feel hatred in their hearts, so they rashly killed people and attacked the noble envoy!"

The leader of the Piao Kingdom apologized to the Han envoys one after another. He did not feel angry at all when he heard that he was asked to leave the palace to welcome him. Instead, he was extremely respectful and kept his posture very low.

Seeing the arrogant and respectful attitude of the leader of Piao Kingdom, the Han envoy couldn't help but sneer secretly.

It must be said that how others treat diplomatic envoys depends entirely on the strength of their country.

Facing the leader of the Piao Kingdom who took the initiative to surrender, the Han envoy still had no intention of borrowing the donkey from Poxia. Instead, he said coldly: "You first attacked my guards for no reason, and after they threw down their weapons and surrendered, they carried out brutal attacks." An unbearable massacre.”

"If the king wants to get over this matter so easily, he must be looking down on the big man."

Facing the aggressive Han envoy, the leader of Piao State was angry, but he still forced a smile and said: "Although there is a reason for this matter, it is because of my laxness in the imperial guard. Please calm down, envoy of the Kingdom of China. I will definitely punish anyone who offends you." Sir, please invite your envoy to follow me into the palace first."

"I have asked people to prepare a sumptuous banquet. Although it is not as good as the previous one, it should be a bit exotic. Please invite your envoy to come to the palace to taste it!"

If it were anyone else, looking at such a groveling leader of the Pyu Kingdom, he would probably have taken advantage of the situation at this time. After all, those Shan soldiers were not Han people.

Moreover, this is the capital of Pyu State. If we continue to maintain an arrogant attitude, it will be counterproductive.

However, the young envoy came to Piao as an envoy to stir up trouble. He had no intention of returning alive, so he naturally refused to expose the matter so easily.

He immediately said in a deep voice: "I am here for state affairs, not for the sake of the country's delicacies. Please give me an explanation first."

Facing the aggressive Han envoy, the leader of Piao Kingdom gradually stopped smiling on his face and said slightly angrily: "What do you want your envoy to explain?"

The Han envoy pointed at the guard general who was still carrying the head of the Shan general, and said in a deep voice: "I want him dead!"

silence.

Deathly silence!

No one expected that this seemingly thin-bodied Han envoy would dare to say these words.

You must know that being able to serve as the commander of the imperial guards in the palace is considered a high position even in the Piao Kingdom, and he is the king's confidant.

Not to mention that the massacre of Shan soldiers was originally ordered by the king. Even if it was really the commander of the imperial guards who made his own decision, the king of Piao would probably protect him, so how could he be executed?

After being shocked, the commander of the imperial guard immediately flew into a rage. He raised the sharp knife in his hand and pointed it at the Han envoy, cursing: "It's so shameless. How can I allow you, a person who talks nonsense, to point out the affairs of my country?" "
