Chapter 538 Why is a strong man strong? Only force!
Chapter 538 How can a strong man be strong? Just force!
Boom—!
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
The ashwagandha is crispy on the outside, tender on the outside, golden and crispy on the inside.
At this moment, there was no need for Xu Qiu to waste any more time, Ashina himself had already admitted his crime.
At this moment, even Bu Dugen himself did not expect that Xu Zhuan would rely on details to force Ashina to confess his crime, and he would do so in front of the barbarians from all over the world.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
You must know that I had carefully planned for this moment. I originally thought that Nanyang Hanting would be able to anger the barbarians from all directions this time, but I never thought that the final clown would be me.
no doubt.
The barbarians from all directions will definitely think that they are provoking trouble, killing innocent people indiscriminately, in an attempt to provoke a conflict between the Han court in Nanyang and the barbarians from all directions, thus sparking another war in the world.
Bu Dugen asked himself that he simply could not afford such a crime. Not to mention the Wuhuan, Nanman, and Wuling barbarians, I am afraid that even the Chanyus within Xianbei would look down on him.
If you break your promise, you may even lose important subordinates and have them join other Shanyus. After all, Xianbei's internal army is composed of tribes.
as expected.
When the translator's voice spread throughout the entire venue, the buzzing discussion immediately became like a raging tide, directly drowning the Bu Dugen people in the hall:
"This group of inhuman beasts actually dare to defend themselves in court. It is simply unreasonable. If these people are not killed, the people will not be angry."
"Killing to pay for one's life, debts to pay back money, this is the way of heaven. These dog-like bastards must be severely punished. Kill them all, leaving no one alive, and throw their bodies into the wilderness to feed the wolves."
"I also ask the Tingwei to avenge the dead people and sentence these people to death as soon as possible to comfort the spirits of the deceased in heaven, otherwise they will die in peace."
"This is intentional homicide. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, one life must be paid for one life. These guys are sentenced to death, sentenced to death -!!!"
"death penalty!"
"death penalty!"
"death penalty!"
"."
In just a moment, the people outside the human wall became completely angry. They raised their hands high, clenched their fists, their eyes were filled with anger, and they roared hysterically.
Even the foreigners who were listening to the public trial could not help but feel shocked by the scene in front of them. How united the people of the Han Dynasty were, and they could actually do this for strangers.
Such a nation is invincible!
Regardless of whether they have advanced weapons or a powerful army, they are all invincible!
Kebi Neng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "The people of Han Dynasty are like this, which really makes us ashamed. No wonder they can survive on this land for a long time."
At this moment, Ke Bineng envied the Han people from the bottom of his heart. They could have a fixed place to live, unlike Xianbei, who always had to live in pursuit of water and grass.
Under such conditions, it is impossible for them to have emotions as precious as those of the Han people. In their eyes, cattle, sheep, water and grass are wealth, and emotions are just accessories.
Shamoko was also amazed and nodded secretly: "Ji Chang, you are right. The big men today are not the big men before. The imperial court can really make decisions for ordinary people."
"General."
Ma Liang nodded and said softly: "Don't forget, you are also Han people now. If this matter happens to you, the imperial court can still make the decision for you."
"His Majesty has said before that in the whole world, it is the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, it is the ministers of the king. We will always be a family, regardless of each other."
Shamoko still didn't believe it before, but now, he has become a little convinced. Although the living conditions of his people are not good at present, he believes that with the help of Nanyang Hanting, it will get better and better in the future.
The current Emperor is different from the previous Emperors. The previous Emperor just hoped that they would not cause trouble, but the current Emperor hopes that they can live a better life.
Shamoko smiled lightly at Ma Liang and said bluntly: "Not everyone is like Xianbei Budugen, they are just an exception."
"certainly."
Ma Liang deeply agreed: "I don't believe in others, but I, General, believe in you."
Samoko imitated the etiquette of the Han people and raised his hand to Ma Liang: "I, Samoko, also believe in the Han people and your Majesty."
At this moment, Xu Qiu turned back to his superiors, no longer paying attention to Ashina, but focused his gaze on Bu Dugen: "I dare to ask Chanyu, you are invited to enter the Han Dynasty, you are the guests of the Han Dynasty, and you should abide by the rules of the Han Dynasty.
rules."
"Did you stop your general from killing my great people? In other words, did you instruct him to do so? If you did, why didn't Ashina stop?"
obviously.
Xu Zhuan has already convicted Ashina, and his current target is Bu Dugen.
Although Bu Dugen did not participate in the killing, as a Xianbei Chanyu, he also had considerable management responsibilities.
If Bu Dugen has stopped it but failed to stop it, it at least proves that he has fulfilled certain management responsibilities. But if he has not stopped it, then the seriousness of the problem will be even greater.
Indulging subordinates in committing crimes will also lead to being implicated, and the crime may be big or small, but judging from the impact it has caused, it must be a big deal.
Bu Dugen in the palace suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart. Judging from Xu Xuan's firm eyes and the reactions of the Han people outside the human wall, he knew that the other party was not joking.
Therefore, Bu Dugen did not dare to hesitate at all, and nodded immediately: "Of course I have stopped it, but unfortunately, General Ashina is a veteran on the battlefield, and his attacks are as fast as lightning, which ultimately caused irreparable consequences.
"
"Chanyu, me."
Ashina was about to say something, but was interrupted by a look from Bu Dugen, who sternly scolded: "I've obviously told you to stop, why didn't you stop?"
As a last resort, Ashina could only make nonsense: "Chanyu, you don't know, once we martial arts practitioners take action, it is difficult to control it."
"Besides, under any circumstances, if I don't take action, they will beat me to death. Naturally, I have to finish the beating before I can stop."
Have to admit it.
Although Ashina is a military commander, he also has a really powerful mouth.
Without making a move, he turned taking the initiative to kill people into self-defense as a last resort.
I really don't know whether he is really smart or not, he can't even see through Bu Dugen's intention of abandoning his car to save the coach, and he is even ready to use him as a shield.
Unfortunately, Bu Dugen did not leave any clues at the scene, and Xu Qiu had no way to analyze the scene to determine whether the other party had fulfilled its management responsibilities.
And these words of Ashina really gave Bu Dugen the blame. Xu Zhuan, who was extremely angry, turned to Ashina and asked again:
"Do you really mean what you say?"
"Did Budu Genshan really stop you?"
Xu Zhuan was obviously giving Ashina a chance, but Ashina's trust in Bu Dugen far exceeded his trust in Xu Zhuan, so he nodded again:
"That's right."
"My Shanyu did stop it, but I didn't hold it back."
Xu Xuan paused for a moment, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes: "Is this really true?"
Ashina was extremely stupid, but still extremely certain: "Yes, that's exactly it."
"good."
Xu Qiu knew that the other party had made up his mind, so he didn't waste time at all. There was a crash of the alarm bell, and he immediately stood up and shouted loudly:
"According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, Ashina was found guilty of intentional homicide and is now sentenced to death. He will be executed at the execution ground at noon tomorrow. Although Bu Dugen has fulfilled his management responsibilities, he still needs to be compensated for the consequences."
"According to preliminary statistics from the court, compensation for the loss of Hongbin Tower is 2,230 yuan, as well as the treatment costs for the injured. Thirteen people, a total of 45,226 yuan, and four dead, a total of eight
One million and eight hundred thousand dollars.”
"A total of 8,847,566 yuan needs to be paid in compensation. The compensation needs to be completed within three days, otherwise it will be enforced by the government."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people outside the human wall immediately started shouting.
They saw the justice of Nanyang Hanting, this is what a strong man should look like.
but
The next second, Xu Wei shouted again: "I reiterate once again that no matter who it is, whether it is Xianbei, Wuhuan, or even a subject of the Han Dynasty, as long as they violate the laws of the Han Dynasty on the territory of the Han Dynasty, they will be severely punished.
, will never tolerate it.”
The implication is very clear. The Tingwei Mansion is the most just and will never be biased against the Han people. This time Ashina deliberately killed someone, so next time if a Han person commits a crime, he will still be punished.
"Okay, this is what a man should do."
"Everyone must be treated equally."
"Yes, that's very well said."
This time, it was the turn of the Yi and Di people from all over to applaud and praise.
When such words came out of Tingwei's mouth, in a sense, they already represented the emperor's intention, and further proved that the emperor fully respected and valued his guests.
Bu Dugen was the only one with a slightly depressed mentality.
This action not only did not arouse the hatred of the barbarians from all directions towards the Han, but also made the Han make a gesture in front of the barbarians from all directions, making it even more difficult to achieve his goal.
If it's just like this, it's okay. The most important thing is that his general Ashina is really going to be damaged here.
"Damn it!"
Bu Dugen clenched his fists, and a trace of anger flashed in his heart.
It's a pity that he is not in the grassland, otherwise he would never allow such a thing to happen: "Brother, it seems that we have to leave here early and go back to the grassland."
Fulohan nodded and responded in a low voice: "Yes, the matter is irreversible. It is better to go back early and make preparations early. First, destroy Kebineng and unify the central Xianbei."
Bu Dugen exhaled: "That's what I have in mind. Let's leave tomorrow."
Fu Luohan said softly: "I will make arrangements later."
*****
Emperor's palace.
Hall of Wende.
Although Liu Bian was sitting at the top, apparently reading a book, and seemed relatively calm, in fact, his mind had already flown to Tingwei's Mansion, and even to the trial site.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ben."
The Military Advisor Alliance continued to comfort him: "Although Bu Dugen will definitely quibble, you still have to believe in Xu Xuan's criminal investigation ability. He has never come to Bian Ye, which proves that he is confident."
"certainly!"
At this point, the Military Advisor Alliance hurriedly added: "Even if we take a step back and say that Xu Qiu is slightly lacking in criminal investigation capabilities, he can still retry the case the next day. There is no rush for this kind of thing."
call-
Liu Bian took a long breath and said softly: "Despite this, I can't help but worry. After all, there are still many barbarians here. If an accident does happen, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Although Dahonglu has made arrangements, the influence of this kind of thing is still relatively large. Many barbarians do not trust us Han people. If a war really breaks out, it will be another massacre."
Although Liu Bian is not afraid of fighting against the barbarians from all directions, and he is absolutely confident that he can win his opponent, even if they go together, they may not be the opponent of the big Han.
But
Deep down in his heart, Liu Bian still regards them as brothers and sisters, a family at heart, and hopes to solve the problem in a peaceful way as much as possible.
I am only seventeen years old now. It is conservatively estimated that I can live to be sixty or seventy years old in the future, and I can still work hard for at least four to fifty years. It is not difficult to create a simplified version of China.
But if, because of this accident, such a great plan comes to naught, and he even has to use guns and cannons to defeat his colleagues, not only the netizens in the live broadcast room may be unhappy, but even himself will be very unhappy.
"Report—!"
Just when Liu Bian was thinking wildly, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.
Liu Bian hurriedly put down the book and looked up.
But then, Zhu Tong pushed the door open, stepped forward, bowed and held his hands in his hands, saying solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's over."
Liu Bian made a sound and hurriedly asked: "How is the situation?"
Zhu Tong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Ashina is quibbling, Xu Tingwei is more skilled and has successfully solved the case and made Ashina plead guilty on the spot."
"Furthermore, just as His Majesty expected, Budugen abandoned Ashina at the most critical moment and was only fined to pay compensation, which can be regarded as saving his life."
Liu Bian finally calmed down and admired the wisdom of the military-strategist alliance even more. When they learned that Bu Dugen had never participated in the whole process of the murder, they knew that the other party had left room for him. Such a move was clearly a test.
Since it is a test, as long as they find something abnormal, they will definitely stop their losses in time to protect themselves, especially when they are facing a selfless official like Xu Xuan.
"So good!"
Liu Bian nodded with a smile.
But at the same time, the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance continued to sound: "Master Bian, since Bu Dugen has stopped his losses in time, the next step is that he will most likely escape back to Xianbei."
"Now, it's time for us to send a message to Xu Huangfei Ge. If necessary, it is best for Zhang Liao to go back to help prevent any accidents."
This was also within the prediction range of the Military Advisor Alliance. Liu Bian agreed without hesitation: "I think it is better to let Zhang Liao go back to help with defense. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Although Xu Huang also has prestige, he is a latecomer after all.
Far inferior to Zhang Liao."
"Master Ben has made the right decision."
The Military Advisor Alliance deeply agreed and said softly: "However, let's see Xianbei's reaction first. If he did not flee Nanyang and chose to stay here, it proves that he still has the idea of depending on the big man."
"If he chooses to leave Nanyang, it proves that he wants to launch an attack on Nanyang or Kebineng while we are preparing for the Winter Festival Ceremony."
"Let's just attack Nanyang on our own. We don't have to worry. Even if there is no Zhang Liao and only Xu Huang is here, the opponent will not be able to capture Yanmen Pass."
"But if it is to attack Kebineng"
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance paused obviously: "For us, it will be a bit bad. After all, we brought this kind of accident to Kebineng."
Liu Bian naturally understood this truth: "If Kebi is not stupid, he should have a corresponding reaction, right?"
The Military Advisor Alliance said softly: "It's more than 60% possible. There is too little information to make an accurate judgment."
Liu Bian thought for a moment: "How about we remind him?"
"Not in a hurry."
The Military Advisor Alliance was extremely calm: "Let's wait for Bu Dugen's reaction first. If he really escapes, Kebineng will think of it himself and will take the initiative to come to us for help."
Liu Bian deeply agreed and nodded slowly: "Okay, this is indeed the best."
"Report—!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a report outside.
Liu Bian raised his eyes and looked.
However, Shi A pushed the door open and walked in. He bowed and raised his hands: "Your Majesty, Xianbei Kebi Neng has something to ask for."
Liu Bian was extremely surprised: "Oh? Are you sure it's Xianbei Kebineng?"
Shi A nodded: "Yes, he was personally introduced by Dong Zhao, the official of Dahonglu. He is currently waiting outside the palace. He said it is urgent and must see His Majesty."
Liu Bian was quite pleased. If nothing else happened, Ke Bineng must have come for Bu Dugen's matter, which proved that his personal ability was quite good and that he was a worthy supporter.
"good."
Liu Bian said without hesitation: "Let him come in."
Shi A cupped his hands and said, "Here."
Immediately.
Bowed and left the hall.
Not long after, Dong Zhao brought Ke Bineng to Wende Hall.
Ke Bineng imitated the etiquette of the Han people, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Xianbei Ke Bineng, I have met your Majesty."
Although he spoke relatively poor Chinese, it was enough to prove his sincerity in relying on the big man, and at least Liu Bian was moved.
Liu Bian waved his hand to indicate to him: "Get up, I wonder what you are doing when you come to the palace?"
Kebi Neng took a deep breath and went straight to the topic without any nonsense: "Your Majesty, Bu Dugen has escaped the sanctions. I am afraid he will find a way to leave Nanyang and return to the grassland."
"I and General Zhang Liao are both in Nanyang. I am afraid that during this period, he may launch an offensive against my tribe. I request your Majesty to send troops to assist our tribe."
Liu Bian took a deep breath, frowned, and said softly: "I understand your concerns, but I can't help you unless Bu Dugen takes the lead in attacking you."
"How about this."
Liu Bian pretended to think for a moment: "If Bu Dugen really escapes Nanyang, then you should return to Xianbei as soon as possible. I will order Zhang Liao to rush back to Yanmen Pass to help defend."
"If Bu Dugen really takes action against your troops, then I promise you that I will let General Zhang Liao lead troops to support you and help you. You can rest assured about this."
Ke Bineng was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Bian smiled lightly: "I have said that I will treat those who sincerely join the Han Dynasty equally."
Kebi Neng naturally understood what he meant: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Xianbei Kebi Neng is willing to submit to the Han Dynasty."
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded and said, "I believe you. Gongren reported it in the memorial. He said that you miss the Han Dynasty and even taught yourself Chinese. Based on this alone, I am willing to believe that you are sincerely attached to me. I hope you will not make me
disappointment."
Ke Bi Neng was flattered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will live up to your high expectations."
Liu Bian waved his hand: "In that case, please step aside. I will arrange this matter myself."
Dong Zhao and Ke Bineng handed over their hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the two left, Liu Bian let out a long sigh and said to himself: "Teacher, it seems that Ke Bi is more powerful than we thought. No wonder he can be recorded in history books."
"That's right."
The Military Advisor Alliance deeply agreed: "He is indeed more powerful, at least better than Bu Dugen. Judging from the historical results, Ke Bineng is also the winner and deserves our support."
"Furthermore, according to reason, Ke Bineng must understand Bu Dugen better than us. Since he said that Bu Dugen is likely to escape, then the possibility of the other party's escape should be greater."
"Experts suggest that we should call Zhang Liao, Lu Bu and others to prepare for their return in advance. When fighting on the grassland, cavalry is better."
"Anyway, we are already at Yanmen Pass and have prepared fodder for the war horses to survive the winter. If we really have to go to war, in this case, Bu Dugen is really no match for us."
Due to the lack of forage in winter, war horses are the weakest and have the lowest combat effectiveness. However, due to the availability of alfalfa, Nanyang Hanting has stored some forage in advance, which is enough for the war horses to enjoy in winter.
The enemy's war horses lack forage, while our army's horses have sufficient forage. The difference in combat effectiveness will inevitably be greater. This point, in the eyes of experts, is almost certain to win.
"good."
Liu Bian nodded and said to himself: "I happen to have this idea too."
The next second, Liu Bian called out: "Where is Zhu Tong?"
Zhu Tong took a step forward: "Your Majesty."
"Immediately send someone to the royal posthouse to summon Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, and Xu Chu into the palace. I have important matters to tell them."
"Here."
Since we are going to fight Xianbei, how can we miss Lu Bu and Huang Zhong's troops and horses? Their various battles in the Central Plains are just training. In the final analysis, they still have to be put on the grassland to fight with the Xianbei people with real swords and guns.
Just have to fight.
Of course, this is just one of them. The most important thing is that through the battle with Bu Dugen, the Qianghu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other foreign tribes in the north can see the strength of the imperial court, thus intimidating the other parties and not making mistakes.
.
Where is the strong man?
force!
And force must not only be shown, but must also be fought.
Only strong military power is the key to peacefully solving the alien problem. The battle with Xianbei was a platform for Liu Bian to show the strength of the Yi, Di and Han armies to all sides.
