Chapter 131 Can’t be scratched, can’t be scratched at all
The Han army was stationed at the foot of Changshan Mountain for a month.
Judging from the time, it is enough to see that Liu Ke was extremely patient and indeed spent a lot of thought on this group of South Vietnamese natives.
Today is the day to entertain the leaders of the various tribes in South Vietnam.
"The South Vietnamese leaders have arrived."
Chen Fujia was ordered to greet him. When he heard someone came to report, he took away the impatient look on his face and began to straighten his robes and clothes again.
Born into a famous family, not even the wealthy families in Rinan County look down upon him, let alone this group of natives.
But the superficial work is still done well.
There was a noise in the distance, and there were shadows of people.
Chen Fujia, who had just finished tidying up his robes and was about to trim his hair, suddenly changed his expression.
The leaders of South Vietnam actually brought many people with them?
He looked back at the soldiers waiting with him. The soldiers' faces almost showed the same worry.
It's not that the Han army couldn't accommodate them, but such a large-scale action seemed somewhat unkind.
Chen Fujia took a deep breath, his face becoming more and more serious.
It seems that there are many white-eyed wolves in South Vietnam.
"There is also Naba Mudan, who was ordered by Gao Rang to return to the clan and confuse the public with his evil words. I am afraid that he has also affected many people."
Chen Fujia had already expected this.
When he received the news that Gao Rang sent people to Changshan, he knew that the effect of mutual trading would be weakened.
After all, the Han army only traded with each other for a month, but the theory that the king of Jiaozhi was entrusted to the world by the Tianzhu God continued for hundreds of years.
After a while, nearly three thousand strong South Vietnamese natives approached the camp.
Each of them is brave and brave, dressed in deerskin clothing and possessing an impressive spirit.
Seeing this, a small school couldn't help but ask:
"Master Chen, do you really want to welcome them into the camp?"
Although it has been raining continuously these days, it is not easy to light a fire.
But there are three thousand strong men. If they suddenly attack in the camp, it will be very difficult.
"We can't let them all enter the camp, but we have to entertain them with good wine and meat, and then let the soldiers control them."
Chen Fujia waved his hand and ordered that the situation is not yet clear and it is not appropriate to cause a conflict, but we cannot relax our vigilance.
The small school immediately went down to make arrangements, and at this time, the South Vietnamese natives also approached the camp.
In the past month, they have bought a lot of things. Many of them are familiar with this place, but most of them are in the market next to the camp, and not many are close to the camp.
When they were a hundred steps away from the camp, the three thousand South Vietnamese natives all stopped in their tracks.
Only a few strong men who looked like leaders, surrounded by thirty tribesmen, swaggered towards the military camp.
This made most of the soldiers, including Chen Fujia, feel relieved.
Those three thousand people were probably just eating and drinking to be frightened by the demonstration, but they had no intention of dealing with the Han army.
After all, it is understandable that Zhang Yiping's army has been standing still. The South Vietnamese natives alone, even if led by Ba Mudan, are not enough to pose a great threat to the Han army.
Moreover, in the last few days, the market is selling half-price items and half-price items for free. It is normal for these people to come and take advantage.
A few dozen steps away from the military camp, Ba Acha, one of the leaders who was leaning toward the Han army, laughed out loud at Chen Fuja:
"Master Chen, we are here for a banquet, why do you still look like this?"
"There are hundreds of people behind here, all from my own family. I'm afraid there won't be enough room for them in the military camp, and their temperament is lazy, so I saved a few steps."
"Master Chen, just prepare some wine and meat and let them go to the market."
Those three thousand people really came to eat and drink and take advantage.
It was Li Xuan's suggestion at that time, and several leaders agreed after discussion. It was just in time to have a last round of food and drink with his confidants, and also to show the Han army the value of the South Vietnamese.
After hearing this, Chen Fujia knew that the South Vietnamese natives were not very hostile.
At least Ba Acha and the warrior Barrow, who has not been seen for the time being, do not have that deep belief in the Tianzhu God, and they also have a good impression of the Han army.
If we can win the support of this group of people, this mutual market will be worthwhile.
Moreover, considering the advantages of civilizing and governing the South Vietnamese natives after capturing the Cochin Kingdom, it can be said to be a fruitful harvest.
When the leaders walked to a place seven or eight steps away from Chen Fujia, they did not rush forward any further. Instead, they bowed their hands to Chen Fujia according to Han etiquette.
The weather was not very good, and because the South Vietnamese natives had tattoos on their faces, it was difficult to tell their expressions, but overall they were in good spirits, dressed in simple deerskin attire, and they were all amiable.
Since the previous small discussion, there have been several subsequent discussions, and they have basically reached a consensus.
The best thing to do is not to help each other.
Even if there are many devout believers of the Tianzhu God in the clan, they can just take the clan members into the mountains and come out after the war has calmed down.
Out of sight, out of mind, the supplies purchased were enough anyway, and there was no concept of winter in Jiaozhi, so it was over in a short while.
And as leaders, they also have a sense of responsibility.
Doing this is a bit troublesome for the time being, and neither end is taken into consideration, but it can save the lives of the clan members to the greatest extent possible.
And it doesn't count as offending the Tianzhu God, nor does it count as being a white-eyed wolf.
The thirty South Vietnamese who were responsible for guarding the leaders also knew what was going on.
This time I was just doing some show work, so I didn't have much vigilance, just as idle as if I were out hunting deer.
Dozens of seats have been opened in the big tent.
Liu Ke killed a pig with his own hands and gave it to the soldiers to cook in a big cauldron in the tent.
Then he took a dagger and slashed his arm several times.
This is one of the customs of the Baiyue people. They form an alliance by joining hands.
As a branch of Baiyue, the South Vietnamese people naturally inherited it.
The so-called carving an arm to bleed, killing an animal to take away its blood, and trusting each other.
Killing an animal and then carving blood on one's arm is a very grand alliance ceremony for the South Vietnamese natives.
By doing this, Liu Ke undoubtedly further gained the trust of the South Vietnamese natives and showed goodwill at the same time.
However, there is a very serious fact before our eyes.
[Hongmen Banquet] is a passive destiny, which can be automatically triggered during the banquet.
Not to mention making a few cuts with a dagger, even if he switched to a machete and hit his neck, he wouldn't necessarily be injured.
It’s not okay to hurt yourself, right?
"Ahem——"
Liu Ke coughed slightly and put down the dagger:
“Eat and drink well, everyone!”
The South Vietnamese leaders were confused. What was the emperor doing?
I want to form an alliance, but it hurts too much and I can’t do it??
However, they smelled the smell of meat and wine in the tent, and their index fingers were already moving, so they didn't think much about it.
On the South Vietnamese side, in addition to the leaders, there were also a lot of close followers of the leaders who were escorting them.
In addition to summoning Chen Fujia, Huacheng Yu, and Li Jingji, Liu Ke also summoned some senior generals among the generals to hold the banquet together.
Dianchu was sent by Liu Ke to lead the three thousand South Vietnamese natives who were going to the market to buy, eat and drink.
Anyway, he has the biggest drink capacity in the army. He can drink more than a hundred people by himself. The volume alone is enough to deter the South Vietnamese natives and prevent them from causing trouble.
As for Liu Ke’s own safety.
During this banquet, he was not worried at all, and even wanted to test the water with the destiny of "lifting the cauldron and raising the magic weapon".
Since the South Vietnamese leaders entered the camp, apart from a few mentions of the market, they haven't said much else.
The two countries are at odds with each other, but they still don't want to get too involved.
This was especially true after I entered the military camp this time and saw the deep trenches, newly erected fences, and tight security in the camp. I fully understood the strength of the Han army.
The Han army was capable of fighting and treated them well.
Instead of helping the king entrusted by Tianzhu God to fight against the Han army, it is better to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.
When we come out, we will see that if the Tianzhu God cannot defeat the Han army, it means that the Tianzhu God is fake.
How could Tianzhu God be defeated?!
There is also an explanation for those tribesmen who deeply believe in Tianzhu God.
On the side of the Han army, Hua Chengyu was already half drunk, and then under Liu Ke's instruction, he used his drunkenness to gesticulate and talk about the Han army's achievements.
