Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1187

Wu Shun didn't go to watch the martial arts meeting in person, maybe because he wasn't interested, maybe because he hated fighting and killing in his heart, in short, he just didn't go.

With Zhang Xiong present, the standard of the martial arts competition is already very high. You must know that Zhang Xiong, the protector of the country, is not only a member of the army, but also the number one general in the world in the first martial arts competition!

The final champion of martial arts was chosen, and Zhang Xiong asked him directly to join the White Tiger Army.

The martial arts tournament is over, and it's winter!The people of Shu also entered the leisure time of the year.

With the increasingly frequent exchanges across the country, wherever there is fun, good-looking, and delicious food, as long as you can make yourself famous, you will always attract many people to eat, watch, and play!

With a peaceful and stable domestic situation, coupled with the government's intentional policy support, Shu's agriculture, commerce, and industry have all achieved gratifying results!
People have surplus food in their homes, surplus money in their hands, and leisure time in winter, so they have the idea of ​​experiencing life.

Some southerners went to the north to see the snow scene and experience the severe cold in winter;
There are also northerners who go to the south to experience the warm winter in the south;
Some people from the west go to the east to taste seafood delicacies, and some people from the east coast go to the mountains in the west to experience the will of different worlds...

The word tourism has not yet appeared, but people have interpreted the word with practical actions!

In order to allow people to better experience life and appreciate the colorfulness of the Central Plains, the imperial court decided to set up a tourism bureau to manage tourist routes, planning and construction of tourist attractions.

After the establishment of the Tourism Bureau, people's travel will be more purposeful and organized!
The construction of scenic spots in various places has gradually formed a tourism culture on the land of the Central Plains!

With the formation of this culture, people from all over the country moved around and communicated with each other, and the exchanges between states and counties became more frequent and promoted each other, and the country presented a thriving and prosperous scene.

It's winter, and what is different from the grand scene in the Central Plains is the miserable status quo of the nomads in the north.

The Central Plains was so powerful that the Qiang people surrendered, and the Southern Huns surrendered!The remaining tribes who are unwilling to submit can only continue to flee to the north.

But when winter came, the north was full of wind and snow, and the heavy snow buried the grassland below. There was a lack of food, and many cattle and sheep starved to death!
The elderly and children lacked something to keep out the cold, and many of them froze to death!
Under such circumstances, these nomads in the north can only migrate south!Fights and mergers are inevitable during the migration process.

As a result, from the scattered tribes at the beginning, the southward migration army has gradually formed a new force. Since there are many old tribes in Xianbei, the tribes that control this force are also the original orthodox tribes of Xianbei.

So they call themselves Northern Xianbei!
Northern Xianbei is the collective name of all the tribes who migrated to the south in the north. They gathered under the command of the Northern Xianbei King and prepared to offer their loyal ministers to the Emperor of the Central Plains, that is, to profess their ministers to the Central Plains. They hoped to get the help of the Central Plains, a benevolent and righteous country, to survive this difficult winter.

The nomads who went south rolled down and invaded many pastures built by the Central Plains people. In order to survive, the army of the Northern Xianbei plundered the Central Plains people on the border...

The king of Northern Xianbei couldn't stop his soldiers at this moment of life and death for the tribe!
If the soldiers are not allowed to vent their anger, the Northern Xianbei army will not last long because of the collapse of morale and the combat effectiveness will drop.

If you don't show your strength to the Central Plains, the Northern Xianbei King is worried that the Central Plains will not value them!

In order to demonstrate the strength and self-confidence of the Northern Xianbei, their looting was not stopped. As long as they did not wantonly kill the people of the Central Plains, the Northern Xianbei King would turn a blind eye and close his eyes, as if he hadn't seen it.

Because he knew that at this time their Northern Xianbei had already entered the sight of the Central Plains!Need to come across as strong.

Indeed, Northern Xianbei has entered the sight of the Central Plains!Border guards have already sent border military information to the Ministry of War.

Shu Emperor Wu Hao already knew that a large army was approaching the northern border!
How to deal with this Northern Xianbei?The ministers unanimously agreed to drive them back and enjoy the love of ice and snow for them!
However, there are also ministers who believe that we must convince people with reason and virtue!
However, after receiving the military news that the Central Plains people were looted, the Supreme Emperor Wu Shun immediately asked the Xiliang cavalry to rush to the border immediately to intercept and snipe the foreign cavalry!
Following Wu Shun's intention, Shu Emperor Wu Hao directly ordered Ma Chao to lead the army and take the initiative to attack to solve the threat from the north!

The [-] Xiliang iron cavalry immediately headed to the northern border, and together with the border guards, they were preparing to take the initiative to attack.

Ma Chao took Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie brothers to the north, and it was rare to have this opportunity to fight abroad. As the eldest brother, Ma Chao naturally wanted to give the two brothers a chance to succeed.

Ma Tie won No.3 in this year's martial arts competition, the battle is very strong!This time he followed his eldest brother to deal with foreigners, and he also wanted to show himself well and add another title of general to the Ma family.

……

……

Kyoto, in the imperial palace.

Wu Hao found Wu Shun, and the two were discussing about Bei Xianbei.

Wu Hao wants to take the initiative to attack, Wu Shun has no objection, it is correct to eliminate the danger in the bud, the premise is that he has that kind of strength!The current state of Shu obviously has that ability!

However, it is not appropriate to use too many troops in winter, so Wu Shun only let Ma Chao fight.

If the roads leading to all parts of the country were not completed, fighting in winter would consume several times the usual supplies!

Now the logistics support for providing supplies for the Xiliang iron cavalry has begun to work, using vehicles to transport, but it is much faster than before.

Ma Chao, who was fighting on the front line, didn't have to worry about food and grass at all. All he cared about was how to defeat Bei Xianbei.

"Father, why don't you let the tanks go into battle? Wouldn't it be good to test new weapons with Bei Xianbei?" Wu Hao said.

After several improvements, the power problem of the tank has been solved to a certain extent. The current tank has relatively strong firepower, and it is a sharp weapon for attacking cities.

It's a pity that the tank is not suitable for long-distance sports. This guy is a bit bulky and wastes resources!

"It's winter, it's not supposed to stop fighting, and letting Ma Chao go is just to scare those nomads!" Wu Shun laughed.

Ma Chao's reputation, among those nomads, is thunderous, and his fierce reputation can stop children from crying at night!
With Ma Chao staying at the border, Wu Shun had reason to believe that the Northern Xianbei team would survive obediently.

Compared with the nomads in the north who killed the Han people casually, the status of the people in the Central Plains is not a little bit higher now!
Not to mention the borders, people from the Central Plains will be respected by the locals when they travel around the world!
This is derived from the influence that comes with a strong national power!
"Don't fight? Why? I ordered General Ma Chao to take the initiative!" Wu Hao said.

"Whether he can take the initiative to attack, Ma Chao will consider it for himself. He is a veteran and has his own sense of propriety. Don't worry. In contrast, the reason why the Northern Xianbei dared to go south is more attractive." Wu Shun said.

The strength of the Central Plains is well known in the world, and it is impossible for the tribes that make up the Northern Xianbei not to know.It is even more impossible for the Northern Xianbei King not to know.

Go ahead to dangers?

Normal people would not do this, these nomads dare to do this, there must be a reason, and for this reason, Wu Shun thinks there are two possibilities!
One is that the northern Xianbei lost their survival support in the vast snowfield, and wanted to go south to plunder like before to survive the cold winter!

The second is that this northern Xianbei could not survive, and wanted to ask the Central Plains to help them, and let them graze and reproduce under the management of the Central Plains like the Southern Huns.

Regardless of the possibility, Zhongyuan can easily deal with it.The Central Plains is no longer the weak one that anyone can bully at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Father, no matter what Bei Xianbei's background is or what it wants to do, General Ma Chao will always be able to force some out by taking the initiative!" Wu Hao said.

Wu Hao's acceptance of foreigners is obviously not as high as Wu Shun's!There is no reason for foreigners to fight if they dare to come without their consent.

A few days later, Northern Xianbei approached the border of the Central Plains, Ma Chao immediately sent troops to intercept!

The King of Northern Xianbei still wanted to explain their reason for coming, but before he could say a word, the soldiers from both sides started fighting.

Now that the battle has started, you have to wait until the battle is over if you have anything to say!
The northern Xianbei cavalry that was put together improvised, was the younger brother in front of the well-trained Xiliang iron cavalry, and was beaten to the point of crying by Ma Chao and the Tianhe District soldiers.

No surprise, Bei Xianbei lost!
In front of Ma Chao, the Northern Xianbei King presented Ma Chao with a representative crown

"You want to surrender?" Ma Chao asked.

"Yes, please, the general, please inform His Majesty the Emperor of your country! Just say that we are willing to submit, willing to serve the Central Plains, and only ask His Majesty the Emperor to let us live!"

The attitude of the Northern Xianbei King is extremely low. It can be said that he has lost his dignity as a king.

You must know that no matter how strong that side is, it is only a general of the Shu Kingdom, and the King of Northern Xianbei is the king representing an ethnic group after all.

But in order to survive, the Northern Xianbei King is probably helpless, it doesn't matter if he dies.But the tribes of the Northern Xianbei need to continue to survive.

"Northern Xianbei, right? During your journey south, you plundered us people from the Central Plains. This is disrespectful to our emperor. Now you still want to be taken in by His Majesty? Listen to Ben Jiang's persuasion. Wherever you send it, you can return to it." go."

Ma Chao said unceremoniously to King Xianbei of the North.

If the Northern Xianbei slowed down a little in the process of going south, and were more friendly to the Central Plains people, and didn't fight or grab, maybe they could still get a chance to take them in.

As it is now, both sides have already started a war!I didn't have a good grasp of the time.

Northern Xianbei had their reasons for doing that, but it hurt the interests of the Central Plains.You have to make compensation first.

"General Ma Chao, you also know that the snow is falling and the pastures are all covered. We really can't survive in the north, so we came here to offer our loyal ministers to the emperor of the Central Plains!" Bei Xianbei said kingly.

He didn't understand why the Central Plains cavalry were still lukewarm to them even after they won the battle!This feeling is really too uncomfortable.

"I know your situation. Without the support of the Central Plains, many of you will starve to death or freeze to death, but why do you have to look aggressive? It is too easy to cause misunderstandings. But now that the battle is over, you let the army retreat and then, Take the initiative to go to the capital to explain the situation to the emperor, maybe you Bei Xianbei will be rewarded by His Majesty." Ma Chao said

For some people whose strengths are too different, Ma Chao won't feel any sense of accomplishment in defeating them!

The most helpless thing is Ma Tie, a newly promoted general, who has only fought one battle before failing to perform.

The king of Northern Xianbei agreed with Ma Chao's suggestion and took a few people to form a mission, escorted by Ma Dai all the way to Kyoto.

……

……

The prosperity of the capital can no longer be described in words. When the king of Northern Xianbei stepped into the capital, he regretted not stopping the soldiers.

If there was no looting of the Central Plains people, the Central Plains would regret accepting them.

To be able to build Kyoto into such a prosperous metropolis, the strength of the Shu Kingdom has become so strong that they don't know it.

Northern Xianbei is still in the traditional way of cavalry combat, while the Central Plains is already discovering guns, tanks and warships!

And the Northern Xianbei King saw many non-Central Plains people in Kyoto!
Those people have faces and skin colors that are very different from the Central Plains people, but those people still wear the same clothes as the Central Plains people, and they speak the same words.

Seeing this, it is self-evident how backward the Northern Xianbei is!

"It would be nice to come directly to surrender at that time..."

The Northern Xianbei King was extremely depressed!He felt he had missed a great opportunity!

Seeing the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Shu, the Northern Xianbei King was shocked again!
The emperor of the Central Plains managed the vast empire in such a luxurious and majestic huge building, which is really enviable!

Compared with the Central Plains Imperial Palace, the size of his royal tent is unbearable to look at - it's too small and shabby!
After entering the palace hall, Wu Hao, who sat on the throne, seemed to be looking down on the world for his whole life, which gave a great sense of oppression to the people below.

"King Xianbei? Explain your purpose!"

Wu Hao said.

He had already received a report from Ma Chao that Ma Dai would bring the King of Northern Xianbei to meet him.

"I've seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Central Plains! The king of Northern Xianbei bowed to the end, and the etiquette is very good.

"King Xianbei is being polite. I heard from General Ma Chao that you Xianbei are going to surrender to the Central Plains in order to survive?" Wu Hao asked straight to the point.

"That's right, that's right." Bei Xianbei said kingly.

"But I also heard that you North Xianbei robbed the people of the Central Plains when you went south. Is there such a thing?" Wu Hao asked again.

When this question was asked, King Beixianbei's heart skipped a beat!
"Your Majesty, those are rebellious soldiers. I have already ordered them to be executed! Make amends for the crimes they have committed! Your Majesty, please be aware!"

In a hurry, King Bei Xianbei almost knelt down.

If this problem is not handled well, let alone let the Central Plains accept them, it is very likely that they will be wiped out by the "angry" Emperor of the Central Plains!

"Oh? Is that true?" Wu Hao raised his voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we only want to obtain the protection of the Central Plains, so how could we do anything to harm the people of the Central Plains!" At this time, King Bei Xianbei could only firmly blame those soldiers.Even if they only plundered and did not kill people, they dare not say it.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make!
So the Northern Xianbei King doesn't talk much!
