"If you continue to cut off, you will suffer from chaos. Chun Shen Jun loses Zhu Ying. Is this evil?" [Historical Records·Biography of Chun Shen Jun]
The spring of the fifteenth year of Jian'an.
Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan temporarily suspended their troops when the cold winter came. Their hatred towards each other was still unresolved. Instead, new and old hatreds were getting deeper and deeper. The imperial court showed its importance and sent General Xu Jing and Situ Chang Shi Fazheng to show their concern.
, a delegation headed by Ma Dai, the captain of the carriage, went to Yunzhong County to persuade peace. As a result, Fulohan still insisted on his previous words and asked the princess to remarry. Needless to say, Bu Dugen was full of grievances. As a Xianbei master,
He fought with Fu Luohan but failed to gain the upper hand, which made him even more embarrassed. He was looking forward to the court's justice.
Xu Jing was caught in the middle and was in an extremely difficult situation. The imperial court sent him as an envoy mainly because of his reputation. It was Fa Zheng and others who really made the decision.
On the night of May, Fazheng and Ma Dai entered the tent together and secretly conspired with Xu Jing in the light of the dark red bonfire: "Mr. Xu, what I have seen recently is that Fu Luohan relies on his achievements in the Western Regions and has strong troops. Not only does he not know how to repent,
, he dared to ask the imperial court to register him as a Xianbei lord, which is extremely arrogant. Since he has repeatedly disobeyed orders, we have no choice but to do the next best thing and keep our steps to save our roots."
"Of course I understand this truth. The imperial court had a plan when we came. If Fu Luohan is stubborn, as soon as we enter the Great Wall, Sun Ce, Gaishun and other soldiers will help us to fight against the thieves." Xu Jing.
He looked at the two of them unexpectedly and said doubtfully: "Why, why are you saying such things to me again tonight?"
Xu Jing sensed something was wrong, but he didn't expect Fazheng and Ma Dai to look at each other and say such shocking words: "If we just go back like this, without success, how can we have the face to see your Majesty? Today we have
In the Fulohan tent, we have dozens of accompanying guards, all chosen by Yulin, why not follow the example of Ban Dingyuan and Fu Jiezi, and enter the tiger's den to find the tiger's cubs!"
Ma Dai then told their plan: "Fu Luo Han's son, Xie Gui Ni, is a fool. We only need to kill or kidnap Fu Luo Han, take him to the court, and promise to hand over the tribe to Xie Gui Ni.
Take command, and go to the court to choose another princess to marry him. It can not only save the court's face, severely punish Fu Luohan, but also avenge Bu Dugen's injustice, and it can also prevent the two parties from being separated and turning to Kebineng."
Xu Jing was shocked and speechless for a moment. Such a plan was too risky and bold. He looked at the person who came up with the idea almost subconsciously: "Xiao Nao, you will put us in danger!" He looked around.
Surrounded by the dark yellow bonfire in the basin, the shadows of the three people were swaying, adding a bit of gloominess: "That person who returned to the earth is a human son, and his father was kidnapped or killed. How can he not fight to the death with us?"
What is the reason for fighting? How can you still welcome my princess and continue to be loyal to me?"
“Mr.
Fulohan's sins were returned to the Princess of Xiangguo, and Fulohan's subordinates were all surrendered to Gui Ni's command, and they would not make any mistakes. If he could marry the princess in a legitimate manner, he would become the leader of a department with the support of the imperial court.
The price that needs to be paid is actually not that big for Xie Gui Ni.”
This is what Fazheng and Ma Dai recently found out through various channels. Xie Guini and Fu Luohan do not have a deep relationship. One has no independent opinions, and the other has lenient restrictions, which is just enough for people to try to separate them.
And if they can defeat the enemy without fighting and successfully solve Xianbei's dilemma, then Fazheng and Ma Dai will receive extremely high rewards after returning, especially for Ma Dai, who has never left Chang'an since he became an official.
, from guard to guard order, and then to captain of Fengche. Although he has been with the emperor for a long time and is highly valued, he still yearns for his brother Ma Chao's heroic deeds in the Western Regions.
I hope I can go back successfully this time and hold a military position in Bingzhou or Youzhou...
Ma Dai thought of this and continued to persuade Xu Jing: "Mr. Xu, with our own strength, we will attack and kill Fu Luohan while he is unprepared. If it succeeds, it will eliminate a trouble for the court; if it fails, we, as Han envoys, will
It can also be regarded as establishing a prestige for the court and eradicating the thieves."
Xu Jing's heart skipped a beat. He had only heard of Ban Chao's assassination of the Huns envoy and Fu Jiezi's assassination of the King of Loulan. But if he was really asked to do it, he would treat it differently: "This must never be done. We have instructions from our envoys."
, how can you disobey orders without authorization? Although the assassination of Chanyu was effective, it also set a bad precedent for the later Han envoys. In the future, the Han envoys will follow us in striving to kill the king, so what if they want to achieve success in one tent?
Our Han Dynasty has a great reputation in the world and relies on its uprightness. How can we continue to behave like this?"
Fazheng and Ma Dai looked at each other, and both saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. Xu Jing had a false reputation but no real reality, and he was the chief envoy, so he had no luck, which really put the two of them in a bit of a dilemma.
In the next two days, Fazheng and Ma Dai were still trying to persuade Xu Jing, but Xu Jing was still stubborn and refused to listen. Seeing that the good opportunity was about to be missed, Fazheng had to secretly discuss with Ma Dai and directly ignore Xu Jing's objections.
Take action: "I heard that Ke Bineng's envoy also arrived here yesterday afternoon. Although I don't know what the purpose is, we can't wait in vain any longer!"
"Let's do it tonight, I've made an agreement with the Yulin Langs." Ma Dai whispered: "If the court blames you later, I will bear it!"
He said this, but it was to impress Fazheng: "Okay! You and I share the same hatred, how can I ignore you? Don't worry, I will be there no matter what."
Just as the two were preparing to start a fight at night, a strange wind sound suddenly came from outside the tent. Ma Dai's accompanying Yu Linlang, who was staying outside the tent on guard, shouted vigilantly: "Who is it?"
Then there was the sound of swordsmen clashing, a fire suddenly brightened outside the tent, the bowstring rang, and several arrows shot through the curtain.
Seeing that something was not going well, Ma Dai immediately drew his sword. They had planned to start a fight tonight, and they were all wearing armor. While Ha Linlang outside was fighting to the death, Ma Dai grabbed Fazheng.
Escape behind the tent.
There were also several Xianbei soldiers guarding the tent behind the tent. Ma Dai slashed with his sword, cutting down several people one after another, and fled into the darkness with Fazheng, who was wearing armor and had trouble walking.
"Go grab the horse first, our stallion is on the near side." Fazheng panted and staggered and said, "Then go and save Mr. Xu!"
Someone discovered their traces and began to chase them while shooting arrows. However, in the darkness, the firelight wavered, and there were tents and messy things everywhere. The arrows missed several times, but there were still arrows that grazed their armor and flew past.
After a man behind him spoke loudly in Xianbei dialect, the pursuers stopped shooting arrows and pursued Ma Dai on horseback or on foot.
There were four or five Yulin Lang who broke out of the siege. They reunited with Ma Dai and successfully found their mounts.
Riding on horseback, they really lived up to the reputation of the Yulin Cavalry. Ma Dai casually pointed out that one person was left to protect Fazheng, and then led the remaining three people to charge and kill among the Xianbei soldiers. The Xianbei people were scrupulous and did not dare to let go.
The arrow was frightened by Ma Dai's skillful bow and horse.
Fa Zheng was anxious when he saw the many people blocking the road. He suddenly grabbed the guard Yu Linqi next to him and said a few words in his ear. The Yu Linqi shouted in a loud voice: "This belongs to the Heavenly General of the Western Regions."
Brother, who dares to step forward!"
There was a reason why he temporarily raised the banner of Ma Chao. Fu Luohan once went to the Western Regions under the imperial edict and served under the governor Xia Houyuan. He had personally seen Ma Chao's illustrious military exploits in the Western Regions, and the people under his command also knew about it.
The origin of the title 'General Tian'. When they heard that Ma Dai was the younger brother of General Ma Chao, the Xianbei soldiers retreated even more, allowing Ma Dai and others to fight their way out.
Ma Dai protected Fazheng and fought and retreated. Finally, he came to Xu Jing's tent, only to see that Xu Jing had been held hostage by a group of Xianbei people outside the tent. A tall Xianbei man was holding a stolen Han envoy Yak Festival.
, and Fu Luohan was standing beside him.
"Dismount!" Fu Luohan said: "For the sake of my friendship with General Tian, I will spare your lives!"
"Why don't you kill them?" the Xianbei man holding the yak festival said dissatisfied.
"If you dare to kill the Han envoy, I have to ask you how many lives you have!" Fa Zheng rode forward and broke away from Ma Dai's protection. He was not afraid of the forest of swords and guns around him. At this time, he had already recognized the man by the firelight.
The Xianbei people who snatched the Yak Festival were the envoys sent by Kebineng. He immediately understood what was going on. They had wasted two days on Xu Jing, and in these two days, they
Let others strike first.
Fazheng ignored Kebineng's messenger, but looked directly at Fuluohan. Surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy troops, he was riding on horseback with his back straight, as if he was the winner: "
Fu Luohan, don't use Captain Ma as an excuse. It's still a matter of debate whether he recognizes your friendship or not. You have to think about whether you want to kill the Han envoy or not."
Fu Luohan hesitated, unable to make up his mind for a long time, and finally waved his hand abruptly: "Take them down!"
