The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Cheng Gongying?" Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Why isn't Yan Ming here this time?"

"Back to Changling Marquis, General Yan Xing has been transferred to Lingju, so he sent his junior general to discuss peace." Cheng Gongying bowed.

"Negotiating peace?" Chen Mo leaned back and narrowed his eyes, still smiling: "Why should Han Wenyue negotiate peace with me? The previous negotiation has made it very clear that it is surrender and giving up all military power. Han Sui wants Follow me into the court, what? I don’t want to start a war and cause innocent people to be used as capital to seek benefits from me?”

Although he was smiling, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to have suddenly become colder. Dian Wei twisted his neck and looked at the man named Cheng Gongying with serious eyes.

"Don't dare!" Cheng Gongying quickly lowered his head to avoid Chen Mo's sharp attack. Secondly, at that moment, Cheng Gongying did feel a sense of fear and did not dare to look at Chen Mo again to avoid revealing his timidity.

"If you are here to negotiate peace, you can go back. Han Sui doesn't want to run away. I have plenty of time now. Even if he goes to the Western Regions, I don't even need to send troops. Just a letter can make the generals of the Western Regions wait for you." They will be captured in one fell swoop." Chen Mo looked at Cheng Gongying, waved his hand and said, "Tell Han Wenyue that if you think about this again, prepare for war."

"Here!" Cheng Gongying sighed silently, bowed to Chen Mo, and left.

"My lord, Han Sui is stalling for time, or in other words, taking advantage of the lord's waiting time, Han Sui thinks that the lord has some reason why he cannot send troops, so he keeps sending people to test." Xu Shu frowned.

"It took a long time. No wonder Han Sui became suspicious." Chen Mo nodded. Han Sui was known as the Nine Bends of the Yellow River and was suspicious by nature. Now that Chen Mo has won Wuwei and the Ma family has surrendered, there was no need for Han Sui to treat him. Being so polite, he could just send his troops to attack, but Chen Mo didn't use his troops for a long time, and it was not incomprehensible to him.

"Xu Rong, Hua Xiong!" After a moment of silence, Chen Mo shouted. He was originally going to ask Yan Xing to deliver Han Sui's head, but now it seems that Yan Xing obviously failed to do it. In this case, Chen Mo is not going to continue here. If it is delayed, although Han Sui is likely to escape, it has been delayed for too long. If it is delayed again, the new year is approaching, and Xiliang's farming and grazing must still be in charge.

"Here!" Xu Rong and Hua Xiong stepped out.

"The two of you will lead our troops to fight and capture Jincheng as quickly as possible. It's best to bring Han Sui's head to me." Chen Mo looked at the two of them and said.

"General, take the order!" Xu Rong and Hua Xiong bowed and took the order.

"Lord." Chen Mo was about to let everyone disperse when he saw Cui Geng hurried over and saluted Chen Mo: "An envoy from King Xia is here to see you."

"King of Xia!?" Chen Mo looked at Xu Shu and Xun You blankly. There was no Xia Kingdom among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. Where did this King of Xia come from?

"The general doesn't know either." Seeing Chen Mo looking over, Cui Geng shook his head and said, "The other party only said he was the envoy of King Xia."

"Let him come in!" Chen Mo nodded. Now that Xiliang has been pacified, it is time to establish communications with the surrounding small countries. The other party took the initiative to send an envoy. There is no reason not to see him.

"Here!" Cui Geng agreed, said goodbye and left.

Soon, Cui Geng was seen coming in with a man. When everyone looked at him, they saw that this man was no different from a Han Chinese. When everyone saw it, the envoy smiled and bowed and said: "The lower official, Zhao Mu, has met Marquis Changling. "

He spoke a smooth Mandarin without any noise. Chen Mo was surprised and said: "The envoy's Mandarin is pretty good."

"Back to Changling Marquis, my ancestral home is martial arts. I grew up in the Han region, so I can naturally speak Chinese." Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Oh?" Chen Mo heard this and nodded with a smile, but felt a little unhappy in his heart. A Han man ran to be a minister of another country. Although the Han Dynasty did not impose any restrictions on this aspect, there were even many Han tribes on the grassland. but After all, he was still a little unhappy, but now that the two countries had established diplomatic relations, Chen Mo couldn't lose his etiquette. He nodded and smiled and said: "I wonder which country the envoy said King Xia is the leader of? I'm sorry for my ignorance, but among the border countries , I have never heard of Xia Guo.”

"Our country is located in a remote place with difficult roads and few connections with the outside world. It's not surprising that the Marquis of Changling doesn't know about it." The visitor smiled and said, "I came here this time because of my king's order. I came here to be the Marquis of Changling. He came to make peace with the Shaodang Qiang."

"Shaodang Qiang?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "So, the Xia Kingdom is not far from here."

"It's not far." The visitor nodded and said, "The capital of our country is in Wuhan, and we are friendly neighbors to the Shaodang Qiang. That's why we were entrusted by the Shao Kuang Qiang king to come here to make peace."

"You said..." The smile on Chen Mo's face gradually disappeared, and his tone became cold: "Where is the capital of King Xia?"

"Wow!" Zhao Ming was still polite and courteous.

"There is also a county in Longxi called Yuhan. If I remember correctly, it is about three hundred miles away. The capital of your country has the same name as my Dahan County." Chen Mo looked at Zhao Meng and said calmly: "It is easy to cause Misunderstanding between the two countries.”

"There is no misunderstanding. As early as twenty years ago, my lord had already established the country as Xia in Panhan." Zhao Mu said with a smile.

"Bang~" Chen Mo slapped the table and said, "Take it!"

Without saying a word, Dian Wei stepped forward and kicked Zhao Min down.

"Marquis Changling, when the two countries are at war, I don't kill the envoys, but come with the national courtesy. How can your country be so rude!?" Zhao Ming wanted to struggle angrily, but Dianwei put a hand on his head. It was like a mountain, and there was no way to break free, so he could only shout in dissatisfaction.

"If you want to establish a country, get out of the territory of the Han Dynasty. In that case, it is the skill of your bullshit King of Xia to establish a country. Now you occupy my Han Dynasty city, speak my Han language, and control my Han people. Who gave you the courage to claim the country?" !?" Chen Mo stood up and looked at Zhao Ming coldly.

"Since ancient times, the virtuous people have lived in the world. The world has never been a world of one family and one surname. The court has no rules. My king established a country to care for the people. Why not!?" Zhao Mu said angrily: "The Marquis of Changling is also the most important person in the world. Wise man, now that the Marquis of Changling is sending troops to Xiliang, my king does not want to interfere with your Han family’s affairs, but if the Marquis of Changling kills our envoys regardless of our diplomatic relations, I am afraid that our army of 100,000 people in Great Xia will not agree. "

"One hundred thousand?" Chen Mo nodded, looked at Zhao Ming and said, "Okay, I'll wait for his hundred thousand troops to come, drag them out, kill them, send his people back, and tell that bullshit King Xia to surrender immediately, otherwise , the day my army comes to the city, that’s when he will kill everyone!”

"Here!" Without saying a word, Dian Wei picked up Zhao Ming, who was screaming in agony, and dragged him out.

"Notify Xu Rong and Hua Xiong that the plan has changed and we will postpone sending troops!" Chen Mo ignored Zhao Ming and looked at his guards.

"Here!"

"Lord, if the other party really has an army of 100,000..." Xun You looked at Chen Mo worriedly.

"How much population does Xiliang have? With an army of one hundred thousand, how can we support this area in Xiaohuangzhong? Most of them are Qiang people of all ethnic groups who lied about one hundred thousand. It would be great if the Xia Kingdom can provide ten thousand." Chen Mo heard this and laughed. Hey, the army needs money and food to support it. Wuhan is located in the Heguan area and is mountainous. No matter whether it is grazing or farming, it cannot support too many people. How can it support an army of 100,000 people.

The so-called 100,000 troops should be from the nearby Qiang tribe. Didn't I see that the Xia king sent people here just to burn the Qiang?

"Then Han Sui..." Xun You frowned.

"This is just an excuse to give Han Sui an excuse to relax his vigilance." Chen Mo stood up and said, "Pass my military order to order Xu Rong and Hua Xiong to garrison here. Taishi Ci will advance to Panhan with his troops and destroy them first. After the Xia Kingdom, let’s talk about Han Sui!”

On the surface, Han Sui seems to be a greater threat, but the score cannot be settled that way. No matter how chaotic the world is, Yuan Shao will not dare to call himself king without permission. Even if it is just a pretense, Yuan Shao will have to ask the court for instructions.

Cao Cao holds the title of Emperor, so naturally he cannot arbitrarily overstep his power. Chen Mo is working hard to maintain the Chang'an court here, and he does not dare to proclaim himself the king casually. This Xia king actually proclaimed himself the king and appointed officials twenty years ago, even though the land is remote and desolate. land, but in nature, it directly impacted the majesty of the imperial court.

It would be fine if Chen Mo didn't know. He was amusing himself in a nook at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't know the importance of it and came to persuade him to make peace. Now that he knows, Chen Mo, as the actual person in power of the Chang'an court, naturally has to protect the court. Majesty, this Xia Kingdom must be destroyed.

As for Han Sui, wasn't he suspicious? Chen Mo gave him a reason, and it allowed Han Sui to figure it out for a long time. It also gave Yan Xing the last chance. It had been so long, and Han Sui was still jumping around in Jincheng. Even with Chen Mo's patience, he was a little impatient. , he cannot always be stationed in Xiliang.

"Here!" Everyone heard the words and bowed to accept the order.

Taishi Ci was already preparing to rush to Yunzhong to take up the post of Zhonglang General of the Xiongnu. When he suddenly heard that Chen Mo was going to send troops to the Xia Kingdom, he was a little confused. Where is this place?

When he learned that the opponent's capital was in Panhan, Taishi Ci was quite speechless. How dare a county magistrate claim to be king?

Without saying a word, he ordered his troops and headed towards Panhan. The Xiliang Qiang tribe had just experienced a big defeat and had been killed by Chen Mo a long time ago. How could they dare to care about this matter? Besides, because of the previous incident, crotch-burning had already been associated with all ethnic groups. If it doesn't work, no one wants to care.

Hu Han was also startled when he heard that Chen Mo was sending troops to attack, and quickly waved his troops to resist.

But just as Chen Mo predicted, the so-called Xia Kingdom only covers three counties and is a remote and remote area. There is no regular army. Most of them are civilian soldiers recruited temporarily. When they encountered Tai Shici's elite army, they almost collapsed at the first touch. In less than half a month, , Taishi Ci besieged Wangcheng Panghan.

After fighting for only three days, the city was captured. The Xia king Song Jian and his prime minister Ying and other officials were all beheaded. A few days later, Song Jian's head was sent to Didao. It was like a farce. It was said that there were 100,000 soldiers. The fierce master's dynasty was declared overthrown.

The whole process looked like a farce to Chen Mo, but taking this opportunity also strengthened Chen Mo's power among the Qiang people. At least for a long time, the Qiang people did not dare to make mistakes.
