Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 265 Helan’s visit
The Yellow River is in the north, the Yinshan Mountain is in the south, and the Miliangchuan River is 800 miles away.

However, although Huanxi has occupied the Hetao for many years, it has not yet formed an irrigated agricultural area.

The autumn colors are sultry. The pastures around Langshan Camp are more or less in shades of yellow. Fat and strong horses are drinking water by the clear blue Yellow River. Children are playing in groups outside the camp. It is so quiet and peaceful. scene.

He Naji arrived at the Langshan camp in a dusty state. Guards had already come through the door to inform him. He was waiting for someone to come and usher him into the commander's tent.

Not long after, I saw a group of people surrounding a young man in his mid-twenties walking toward the camp gate.

The young man has a handsome appearance, a white face and a short beard. He has a slender and straight figure. He walks like a dragon and a tiger with a majestic air.

He Naci knew clearly in his heart that this must be the overlord of the northwest, Huan Xi, Duke of Liang of the Jin Dynasty.

Someone had already searched He Naci and his entourage before, and also took away their weapons. There were also powerful generals like Deng Xia and Huan Qian following behind them. Huan Xi walked straight to He Naci. In front of him, he asked with doubts:

"Is your Excellency really the envoy of the Helan tribe?"

He Naci was stunned when he heard this, and then said:
"My dear He Naci is the son of the leader of the Helan tribe. He once followed his father to Shengle to pay homage to the late king. By chance, he met the mother and son of Dai Wang.

"My son doesn't need to be polite."

In a moment, Huan Shi came running all the way. He saw He Naci from a distance. He naturally knew the person coming.

With one sentence, "King", you expressed your attitude in public.

"I heard that Queen Dai's mother and son accompanied the Great Chanyu on a tour and are currently in the camp. All I need to do is meet King Dai's mother and son to verify their true identity."

After all, there are two acting kings now, one is Tuoba Lanpo established by the Yu State, and the other is Huan Xi, the puppet in Huan Xi's hands. Now He Naci honors Huan Xi as the king, which naturally recognizes his acting king. identity.

When Huan Xi heard this, he was overjoyed. He Laitou sent his most trusted son to pay homage to him, and his attachment to him was evident.

Huanji nodded and said:
"This is Brother He, the most valued heir of the leader of the Helan tribe."

Huan Xi nodded. When he learned the news, he had already ordered someone to summon Huan Xi.

Thirty-five thousand tents, almost as much as the Qifu tribe, which is why as soon as he heard that the Helan tribe was visiting, he hurriedly brought everyone to greet him.

Huan Xi knew that He Naci's trip was to change his family. He was in a good mood and laughed loudly:
"This is not a place for conversation. I am a guest from afar. Please come and talk to me in the camp."

The Helan tribe was one of the six tribes of Tuoba Xianbei, and He Laitou was He Laitou's designated successor. How could He Laitou not take him with him when he traveled to Shengle?

The Helan Tribe was not the small tribes he had come into contact with before. Murong Ying and Huan Ji were there, and he was very familiar with the scale of the various tribes in the Dai Kingdom.

After all, He Laitou knew that Murong Ying and his son were in the camp, so when sending an envoy, he should ask people who had dealt with them to come. Otherwise, how could Huan Xi be convinced that the envoy was from the Helan tribe.

Huanji ignored He Naci and saluted Huanxi first:
"The child pays homage to his father."

Huan Xi helped him up and asked:
"You have an old friend here today. I wonder if my son still recognizes him?"

He Na stabbed at Huan Shi and cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, I praise you so much that I am ashamed to accept the thorn."

After that, Huan Xi took Huan Xi's hand and walked towards the commander's tent. Deng Xia and Huan Qian followed closely behind him and would not leave Huan Xi's back to outsiders.

He Naci followed the crowd to the commander's tent, where Murong Ying, the acting king and queen mother, was already sitting in the tent.

"It turns out that the assassination came. Is your father in good health now?"

Murong Ying asked with concern.

He Naci bowed first and then said:
"The Queen Mother is concerned about you. My father is in good health. I just regret that I cannot come to pay homage to the Queen Mother in person." There was a clear contrast between He Naci's attitude towards Murong Ying and Huan Si. When they were at the camp gate, his attitude was considered respectful, but He did not pay any courtesy to Huan Shi.

When facing Murong Ying, she bowed respectfully first and then said something back, just like when she met Huan Xi before.

This is naturally because Murong Ying is Huan Xi's favorite concubine and is now pregnant. This matter is not a secret and has long been spread in Monan.

As for Huan Xi, He Naci's alienation was also specially shown to Huan Xi.

Murong Ying shook her head and said:

"As long as the Helan tribe can comply with the destiny, contribute to the great Chanyu, and serve as the king, I am willing to do it. Your father will not need to work hard."

He Naci replied:

"That's exactly what Nazai came for."

After saying that, He Naci looked at Huan Xi who was sitting on the throne and said seriously:

"In these troubled times, you should follow the Ming Dynasty and establish your achievements. The Helan tribe has 35,000 tents, and they are all willing to obey the orders of the Great Chanyu and do the work of dogs and horses."

Huan Xi's eyes made no secret of his admiration for He Naci, and he said in a solemn tone:

"The late king of the Dai Kingdom (Tuoba Shiyijian) was unfortunate. He committed an evil act by raising an ox and was brutally killed. I am also indignant about it.

"There are no two days in the sky. How can there be two masters of the Dai Kingdom? It is known to the whole world that Shi Yiqian died and died. Your Majesty has also appointed Shi as the Dai King and the Lord of the Dai Kingdom. There is no dispute.

"Huan is from Jin, so it stands to reason that the affairs of the country have nothing to do with me.
"But now that the current king is my adopted son, how can I stand by and let this young man become arrogant and let him be a loner in Shengle City!
"Huan has nothing to gain from Dai's kingdom. Even if he sends troops someday, it will not be for his own selfish reasons, but to escort Dai's king back to his kingdom.

"Today, He Naci went to great lengths to come to seek refuge with me. I should serve as my lord as the king, so how can I surrender to Huan?

"The so-called Great Chanyu is just a joke and should not be taken seriously."

Shu Niu was the illegitimate son of Sun Bao, a senior official in the Lu State during the Spring and Autumn Period. He killed his brothers and starved his father to death. He and Tuoba Shijun were both unworthy sons.

Huan Xi said it righteously, as if he really had no ambitions for Dai Guo, but He Naci did not dare to take it seriously.

He Naci argued vigorously:

"Since King Dai recognizes the Great Chanyu as his father, how can he say that the Great Chanyu has nothing to do with the King of Dai.

"Now that King Dai is young, if the Great Chanyu does not shoulder this heavy burden for him, all the ministries of Dai's country will definitely stop and watch, and will not dare to come and seek refuge."

Murong Ying also advised:

"Why should the Great Chanyu refuse? As He Naci said, without the support of the Great Chanyu, it is difficult for the King to stand on his own feet."

As he spoke, Murong Ying shed tears and said:
"Sie'er was young, lived in troubled times, and almost died at the hands of a family thief.

“After many hardships, I was able to take care of myself under the wings of the Great Chanyu.

“The world is so big, apart from the Great Chanyu, we, mother and son, don’t know who else we can rely on.

"If you want to achieve great things, how can you be afraid of criticism from others? When you command all the ministries of the country, the great dan will do your duty.

"I'm asking you without mercy, but I hope that Shanyu will work hard for me."
