Chapter 535 Barbarians from all directions enter Nanyang!
"What?"
A burly, rugged man, with eyes as big as cow's eggs, sternly scolded the city gate guards: "We came to Nanyang only at the invitation of your Majesty the Emperor."
"You boy!"
Having said that, the rugged man took a step forward and poked the soldier's chest with his fingers: "How dare you hand over our weapons? Are you tired of living?"
However.
The soldiers at the city gate still looked calm, with bright eyes: "No matter who enters Wancheng, they must disarm. This is the rule of the court and will not be broken for anyone."
"Fuck you motherfucker!"
"court death!"
The rugged man flew into a rage, raised his palms as big as cattail leaf fans, and shouted at the soldiers. His crisp slaps resounded throughout the audience, causing the entire audience to be stunned.
Hooray!
The soldiers at the city gate unsheathed their swords one after another, and the cold blades surrounded the enemies on the outside. The other party's followers also wielded their sabers and faced off against the Wancheng soldiers tit for tat.
The next second, the soldiers on the top of the city gathered towards the top of the city gate. Strong bows and crossbows were set up. The light reflected from the triangular arrowheads flashed through the eyes of the opposing soldiers, and a cold murderous aura suddenly enveloped the entire place.
.
Then, a group of soldiers wearing aluminum alloy armor poured out from the city, with only a pair of murderous eyes visible from all over their bodies, and cold spear points surrounded them again from the left and right sides.
The power of water and fire is about to break out!
The soldier who was slapped stood as proudly as a pine tree in winter. His eyes were stern, and he stretched out his thumb and gently swiped the corner of his lips. A trace of bright red blood remained, but it only made him angrier.
On the other hand, the alien who was beating people was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. A hint of timidity flashed in his eyes as big as cow's eggs, as if he had never seen such a heated situation before.
at the same time.
He also realized that he had gotten into a big trouble. He originally just wanted to test Nanyang Hanting, but he never thought that a small city gate soldier could be so tough.
The previous violence disappeared. At this moment, the alien soldier's eyes were wandering and his body was trembling slightly, with an obvious trace of fear. Even the followers holding sabers around him were slightly startled.
Damn it!
Did you kick the steel plate?
"Who dares to cause trouble in Wancheng?"
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a rough voice sounded from the city.
Then, the Nanyang soldiers moved out of the way, and a burly man in golden armor walked out. He was over nine feet tall. Standing in front of the soldiers, he looked like a hill, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.
"General Dian."
The soldiers at the city gate cupped their hands and reported: "It's like this. According to the law of the imperial court, no matter who enters Wancheng, they must remove their weapons for safety."
"But the Xianbei Budu Genbu and Fuluohan tribes who came here today not only refused to surrender their weapons and enter the city, but also beat up the generals in an attempt to disobey the laws of the imperial court."
Dian Wei glanced at his soldier, and there was indeed a faint hint of Yin Hong on his face. There were still blood stains on the corners of his lips. You can imagine how cruel this slap was.
"Who hit you?"
Dian Wei replied calmly.
"It's him."
The soldiers at the city gate raised their hands and pointed at the Xianbei warrior.
"That's right."
The Xianbei warrior held his head high, with a trace of ferocity in his eyes: "It's me. I'm a general under King Bu Dugen of Xianbei, and I'm a guest invited by the Emperor of Han. What can you do to me?"
"snort!"
Dian Wei snorted angrily and didn't take the other person seriously at all.
His eyes passed over this guy, then he glanced back, and his voice was rich and powerful, with a hint of anger: "Since you are a guest invited by the imperial court, where are Da Honglu's subordinate officials?"
At that moment, a man in moon-white clothes came up to him and said, "General Dian, this is Li Quan, Da Honglu's translator, who is responsible for the reception."
"very good."
Dian Wei's eyes fell on Li Shenquan and said softly: "Who is Bu Dugen?"
Li Quan pointed to the burly man riding a horse in the middle: "This man is Bu Dugen."
"Then have you ever told him the rules of the court?"
"Already said."
"oh?"
Dian Wei's eyes fell on Bu Dugen: "In other words, they knew the rules of the court and deliberately acted so recklessly, right?"
Li Quan nodded: "Yes, that's exactly it."
Dian Wei felt relieved. The emperor had made it clear that no trouble was allowed, but he had also stated that others would never be allowed to bully others, especially this group of aliens who were the best at provoking. What should not be tolerated must not be tolerated.
"very good."
Dian Wei nodded slowly and waved his hand to signal to the soldiers beside him: "Since he is the one who beat you, hit me back immediately. As a subordinate officer of the imperial court, how can I allow the envoys from the country to bully me?"
The captain of the city gate raised his hands and clasped his fists, and said "Hey". He immediately raised his palm as big as a cattail leaf fan and slapped it directly. This clear and crisp sound immediately silenced everyone in Xianbei.
The beaten Xianbei general's eyes were as wide as bells and blood oozed from the corners of his lips, but he could only swallow his anger and turned to glance at his leader Bu Dugen, as if expecting the other party to make the decision for him.
At this time, Bu Dugen actually spoke: "I heard that the Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Seeing it today is really eye-opening. Is this the way the Han Dynasty treats guests?"
After listening to the translation, Dian Wei was not afraid at all, let alone getting into trouble. The other party's remarks had already been involved in his daily training, so Dian Wei responded fluently without thinking:
"We naturally treat guests with hospitality, but those who dare to challenge the dignity of our great Han are definitely not our guests, but our enemies. We treat our enemies in the same way."
"Now, His Majesty is in the city. Are you bringing weapons into the city to assassinate His Majesty? If you don't put down your weapons, you will be the enemy of our great Han Dynasty. You can decide for yourself whether to leave or stay. We will never interfere.
.”
Bu Dugen stared at Dian Wei and said coldly: "If this is the case, I believe no one will be willing to put down their weapons and enter Wancheng. You are humiliating us."
Fu Luohan also followed suit and said: "Why, do you have to wait until we all gather outside the city and are collectively unwilling to put down our weapons and force your Majesty to come out before we let you go?"
"This general."
Fu Luohan snorted coldly and said slightly provocatively: "Can you afford such consequences?"
Without waiting for Dian Wei to reply, a voice came from behind: "Give way, Samoko of the Wuxi Man tribe in Wuling, Jingzhou has arrived. We, on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, will come to Wancheng and let you go as soon as possible."
Hooray!
The Xianbei team got out of the way.
A small team came forward. The leader Samoko glanced at Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan, and waved his hand: "Brothers, give the weapons to the Wancheng soldiers for safekeeping. How can we enter the city quickly? Don't do it."
It’s embarrassing here.”
All the soldiers responded in unison: "Here."
Immediately.
Everyone lined up to present their weapons, and under the leadership of Ma Liang, they entered Wancheng in a grand manner.
Before leaving, Ma Liang did not forget to say: "Some guests are not here to be guests, but are here to provoke. The general should distinguish clearly and never let the enemy enter the city."
The next second, Dian Wei's voice rose to two levels: "The defense of the city gate is the first line of defense for Your Majesty's safety. Remember not to relax. No matter who comes, even if he is the King of Heaven, he must disarm his weapons when he should.
,Understand?"
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."
Later.
Dian Wei turned and left.
The soldiers headed by the captain of the city gate still had stern eyes and were ready to fight, refusing to give in.
The eyes of the Xianbei soldiers fell on Bu Dugen, and Fu Luohan on the side also looked embarrassed: "I told you not to be presumptuous, but you insist on doing this. What should you do now?"
Bu Dugen was also riding a tiger and was unable to get off. He originally wanted to test the opponent's reaction, but he never thought that the opponent's rigid posture was more decisive than he imagined.
If you leave Wancheng now, you can naturally save your face, but it will obviously be on the blacklist of Nanyang Hanting, and you will inevitably face a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty in the future.
A decisive battle with the big man?
Do not make jokes!
Xu Huang, who had escorted him into the Han Dynasty before, was a tough guy who was difficult to offend. Now, a small city gate captain has become so tough, which is enough to prove what kind of ruthless character the emperor behind him is.
In addition, the current Xianbei interior has already been torn apart and civil wars are ongoing. However, when they encounter a powerful and powerful man who is rising, if Kirby Neng and others get the upper hand, he will most likely face genocide.
Tolerate!
I will endure!
As a last resort, Bu Dugen could only wave his hand and order: "Hand in your weapons and enter the city."
Li Quan smiled calmly, his national pride growing stronger: "If I had known this, why bother? I have already warned you, but you just didn't listen. If this matter comes to His Majesty's ears, you can think about it yourself.
"
Bu Dugen only felt that half of his face was red and hot, as if he had been slapped hard. Even an accompanying translator was so tyrannical. The big man he was today was indeed not comparable to the big man in the past.
This is not just the hardness brought by weapons and equipment, but the self-confidence exuded from the inside out. Not to mention that you are just a small Xianbei branch, even the Xianbei King Tan Shihuai, the big man may not let him go.
In the eyes.
Enter the city.
Ma Liang and Shamoko decided to dismount and walk.
Looking at the endless flow and busy streets of Wancheng, surrounded by shouting merchants, Shamoke was amazed. This place was ten thousand times more prosperous than the most prosperous Xiangyang he had ever seen.
There are people selling all kinds of fruits, some selling all kinds of snacks, and there are people performing tricks on the roadside. There are rows of tall buildings on the street, with all kinds of signboards and flags hanging, and the delicious snacks are floating in the air. It’s really a photo op.
Heart-warming.
Shamoko followed Ma Liang with only two or three entourages, and took a public carriage for sightseeing in the city. He leaned against the window lattice and admired the beautiful scenery of the prosperous Wancheng. This feeling was really amazing.
"Did you see that? That is the restaurant opened by the apprentice of the royal chef Wang Yi. The dishes in it are all palace cuisine. They are all delicious and delicious. All of them are repeat customers."
"."
"The seven-story tower building over there is the reception center for this time. Not only you, but also the princes and kings from various places, as well as the generals of the garrisons from various places, will all live there. This is truly equal treatment."
"."
"That's the emperor's palace."
"Oh? Why is it so simple?"
"Because His Majesty spent all the money to improve people's livelihood and did not spend a penny on himself. Besides, His Majesty will return to Luoyang sooner or later, so he has not repaired the palace."
"Your Majesty truly loves the people as his own children. Having such a majesty is truly a blessing to the people of this great nation."
"That's right, now you and I are both Han people, and Your Majesty will treat you equally."
"."
*****
Nanyang, Wancheng.
Emperor's palace.
Hall of Wende.
Liu Bian stood in front of the sand table, staring at the intertwined forces surrounding the big man, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that Xianbei, who used to be strong enough to fight with the big man, would now be in such chaos internally."
"yes."
The voice of the military advisor alliance then sounded: "Xianbei in the west can just return to its own country. Liu Bei is stationed in Guanzhong, Ma Teng, and Ma Chao are stationed in Liangzhou. They dare not make any mistakes."
"But there is complete chaos within Xianbei in central China. Although Kebineng's power is relatively weak, it is the most powerful in terms of historical development."
"As for Budugen?"
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance sounded a bit disdainful: "Although this man is the strongest, his ability is slightly inferior. His middle brother Fu Luohan is even less capable. Historical records say that he is leniency and leniency."
"As for Suli, Mika and Queji of Xianbei in the east, as long as Gongsun Zan and Tian Yu are there, there will definitely be no problem. They are living in dire straits now. It's too late to beg us, let alone take action."
Liu Bian nodded with interest, and finally his eyes fell on Bu Dugen: "In other words, the thorny issue within Xianbei is probably Bu Dugen."
"That's right."
The Alliance of Military Advisors said softly: "But it's just a thorny problem. To destroy them is simply a piece of cake for the current Han Dynasty. Let Lu Bu lead the cavalry and Zhang Liao lead the army to advance steadily. It's a piece of cake."
"kindness."
Liu Bian's lips curved slightly: "As I thought, the equipment of the Xianbei guys is too backward. They are not as good as the big guys before, let alone fight us. It's a purely dimensionality reduction attack."
"But don't be anxious. Once the Winter Festival Ceremony is over, if they dare to make trouble again, directly destroying them will also have the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger."
The Military Advisor Alliance continued: "Actually, I hope that they can have some self-awareness and strive to integrate into the Han Dynasty and become a member of China. After all, we are born in modern times and are of the same race as these brothers. We cannot be regarded as enemies just because we are here."
"National integration has always been a persistent topic in the Han Dynasty, but there has never been a solution. There are many problems in the process, and no one is clear about it."
"but."
At this point, the Military Advisor Alliance changed the topic: "Experts still hope that Mr. Bian can do this, so that at least our fifty-six ethnic groups can be as close as one family on the territory of the Han Dynasty."
"Of course, the situation of Dahan is not comparable to that of modern times, but even if it cannot be as good as modern times, at least it must be able to create a simplified version."
"at this point!"
The Military Advisor Alliance is extremely certain: "With Master Bian's ability, it can still be done."
Liu Bian nodded: "I agree. I actually have feelings for them. Deep down in my heart, I don't treat them as barbarians. We are all brothers and sisters, and we are one family."
"But in the context of the Han Dynasty, it was not that easy or even impossible to eliminate the long-term hostility of the common people and even court officials."
"certainly."
The Military Advisor Alliance took up the topic and explained: "It is precisely because experts have considered practical problems that they want to solve them in a peaceful way as much as possible and create a simplified version of China!"
Liu Bian took a deep breath and said to himself: "This is what I think too. I hope we can work together."
The Military Advisor Alliance echoed: "Work together."
"Report—!"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.
Liu Bian turned his head and looked.
But then, Zhu Tong pushed open the door and entered, seemingly looking for him: "I'm here."
Zhu Tong then turned around, stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, something happened today."
"oh?"
Liu Bian was shocked, left the sand table and walked towards the main hall: "What kind of episode is this? You are asked to report it."
Zhu Tong breathed out and said softly: "Aren't they those aliens? The Budu roots of Xianbei actually resisted the imperial court, refused to surrender their weapons when entering the city, and even beat up our city gate captain."
"Budugen?"
Liu Bian's heart skipped a beat.
The expert is worthy of being an expert, and he guessed right. This guy is indeed a thorn.
"That's right."
Zhu Tong nodded and said with great solemnity: "It is Bu Dugen and his brother Fu Luohan."
Liu Bian remained calm and tried to ask: "How to deal with it?"
Zhu Tong replied: "Dian Wei ordered his people to fight him back, and he said he would like to stay or go, it's up to you!"
Liu Bianhe laughed: "General Dian really has a hot temper, but he is right. You can leave or stay as you wish. Although he is just a city gate captain, after all, he represents a big man who must not be violated."
"I still say what I said. Since we are in the territory of the Han Dynasty, no matter who we are, even the King of Heaven and I must abide by the laws of the imperial court."
"Go tell Man Chong and Xu Xuan in person!"
At that moment, Liu Bian made a desperate decision and said firmly: "These days, if there are aliens who dare to make trouble based on their identity, there is no need to tolerate them. They will be dealt with as they should be dealt with."
"Even if it may cause a war between the two countries, I don't care at all. I have protected the people in my own country. How can we let the great man stand proudly in the world?"
Liu Bian was very clear about the intentions of Bu Dugen and others. If he could not be strong-willed at this time, then the two countries would still be constrained by the other party for various reasons in future wars.
They have made it clear that they are deliberately trying to find trouble, so naturally we have to give the other party a definite response. Only in this way can we fully express our position and avoid causing trouble in the future.
Zhu Tong took a deep breath, cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Here."
Immediately.
Bowed and left the hall.
Liu Bian sat on the dragon chair and said to himself: "Teacher, our Winter Festival Ceremony this year is grander than usual. The reason why Xianbei and others dare to do this is probably because they have ulterior motives."
"Zhang Liao, Cao Cao and others have all returned from their bases. Only the deputy general is still in the army. If Xianbei launches an attack on the Han border at this time, I am afraid it will cause a chain reaction."
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance immediately sounded: "What? Master Bian is scared?"
Liu Bian laughed sarcastically: "No, I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
The Military Advisor Alliance said softly: "Indeed! This possibility cannot be ruled out. Even the Qiang and Hu people have this possibility. A large part of their purpose of coming here this time is to observe Bian Ye's true strength."
"So, only if we act more forcefully will they feel that we have confidence and strength. Xu Huang, Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng, and Ma Chao will personally escort us. I believe they already have an understanding of the strength of these people."
"However, these are just external field armies after all. Now that we have arrived in Nanyang, at the feet of the real emperor, this is where they really want to spy, especially your attitude, Mr. Bian."
"If your lord is too weak, then no matter how strong the army is, it will be of no use. Remember, the entire court revolves around you, and your attitude determines the nature of the great man."
Liu Bian naturally understood this truth. As the core and soul of the dynasty, the emperor's character often determines the characteristics of the entire dynasty when he has absolute control.
Liu Bian's strong character made the entire dynasty strong and roaring, and the dynasty had a soul. From then on, no matter how many emperors the dynasty changed, its soul was still there.
Although Liu Bian was the successor of the Han Dynasty, his court was re-established as a brand new life form, so Liu Bian was undoubtedly the first emperor.
And now, it is the time when Liu Bian is injecting soul into the entire dynasty. How can he give up his principles because of other things?
"Experts say"
The Military Advisor Alliance continued: "This incident is probably just the beginning. After a few days, when all the barbarians from all sides come to Nanyang, other things may happen."
"This is the time to really challenge the authority of the Han Dynasty. Master Bian must not be soft, otherwise they will definitely become more and more unruly, and you will even be the one they have to deal with in the future."
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "I know the seriousness of the matter, so I asked Zhu Tong to personally send a message to Xu Zhuan and Man Chong. I hope they can understand what I mean."
Zhu Tong was the emperor's personal bodyguard, and the fact that Zhu Tong personally delivered the message was enough to prove how important the matter was in His Majesty's heart. As long as Xu Qiu was favored and not stupid, it would be obvious what to do next.
What's more!
Xu Xuan and Man Chong were originally people who could not get rid of the sand in their eyes. Not to mention some foreign envoys, even if the princes and nobles made mistakes, they still dared to hold trials and enforce the law impartially.
Now, with His Majesty the Emperor's personal promise, they would naturally not betray their trust. Liu Bian could even imagine what kind of show would be staged in Nanyang next.
call-
Liu Bian exhaled and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "In that case, let's wait for the news. Anyway, there is still time."
The Alliance of Military Advisors said softly: "If the leader of this group of aliens is a smart man, he will definitely stop it. If not, then just kill him. It's no big deal."
Liu Bian thought about it carefully and nodded slowly: "Yes, that's the truth."
