"The envoys of the four tribes of Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong will go to the hall to see the Prime Minister...... Dahan Tianwei, Siyi Binfu! ”

On the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion - red felt paved on the ground, drums and music are ringing, a solemn and solemn color, and there are hundreds of tiger and leopard elite soldiers, distributed up and down the steps, one by one, wearing heavy armor, holding spears, halberds, Mo knives, copper hammers...... Majestic, like a heavenly soldier!

With the shout of the celebrant officer, four messengers wearing left hair and gold rings in their ears walked into the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion with their gift slips in their hands, they were:

The envoy of the Huns-Liu Hu, with five short figures, calf eyes, knife eyebrows, and missing half of his nose, has a fierce face, he is a cousin of Da Dan Yu-Liu Bao, and is also a member of the Hun royal family!

Karasuma Messenger - Su Fuyan, tall, skinny, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets, eyes like ghost fire, people shudder, he is a big chief of Karasuma, commanding thousands of people, and he is also the confidant of Dadan Yu-Badun!

Xianbei envoy - Murong Jiujin, slender figure, handsome appearance, is actually a handsome barbarian, this person admires Han culture, has studied poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music, known as the "first wise man of Xianbei", and is also Xianbei Shan Yu-Kebineng's henchman!

Liaodong envoy - Gongsun Kang, medium stature, calm demeanor, a pair of tiger eyes blazing, obviously a resolute person, he is the eldest son of Liaodong Taishou - Gongsun Du, commanding the heavy task of soldiers and horses, quite brave!

"The envoys of the four ministries of the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong, see the Prime Minister--benevolence and virtue, Ze is born by the common people!"

The four envoys bowed and saluted, and then presented the gift list, all of which were Dongzhu, Jinsha, horses, cattle and sheep, falcons, and famous dogs...... There are many kinds and generous shots, which shows that they are quite in awe of the imperial court!

"The four envoys have worked hard from afar, and the heart of the public and the country is really commendable, the gift has been accepted, and please sit down and serve tea!"

On the main seat of the lobby, Cui Yan, who was sitting on pins and needles, peeked at the side, and then comforted the four envoys in a gentle tone, and behaved generously and decently, but there was one less domineering!

Another subordinate official of the prime minister's government stepped forward, took the gift list of the envoys, and put all kinds of gifts into the treasury, of course, things are not for nothing, according to the state etiquette, but also give them silk, tea, polished rice, salt...... Just like trading in the mutual market, no one loses!

"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness, and the foreign envoys will always be grateful...... Goo! Goo! ”

The four envoys sat down separately, picked up the fragrant tea on the table, and all of them were a burst of cow drink, and drank a few large cups in a row, revealing a comfortable look!

In the bitter cold land of the north, it is all dependent on meat and cheese to survive, and under long-term consumption, the body is hot and dry, and it is easy to get sick, which makes people miserable!

This kind of Central Plains specialty 'leaves soaked in water', just to treat dry heat and pain, deeply loved by the herdsmen, but unfortunately the road is far away, transportation is difficult, even the big chiefs of the ministry, it is difficult to enjoy it!

"When the envoys of the four ministries come, in addition to paying tribute and exchanging goods, there must be major affairs of the national army to discuss, right?" After serving tea five times in a row, Cui Yan also lost patience and directly picked out the topic!

"The Prime Minister asked, the ministers did not dare to conceal it, Yuan Shao was cruel and unkind, just like the evil eagle in the sky, he often bullied the herdsmen of the four tribes, took away our lambs, snatched our wives and daughters, was greedy and insatiable, and did all kinds of evil!

In the battle of Guandu, the prime minister broke the Yuan army, rescued the people of the Han family, and also brought hope to the grassland people, you are an invincible eagle archer, you can shoot the evil eagle in the sky and protect the peace of the sheep!

The four departments of the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong have discussed, as long as the prime minister sends troops to the north, we will wave our troops to the south and attack the Yuan group. ”

The reply is the Hun envoy - Liu Hu, on the grassland, the strength is respected, although the Huns have declined, after all, they are the former overlords, and the heritage is still deep, and the other three envoys nodded frequently, it seems that before Xuchang, they reached an alliance!

"Whoosh! -Sou! -Sou! ”

Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, and Guo Jia turned their eyes and exchanged frequently, both frightened and very suspicious......

On the one hand, the Northern Expedition was sent to calm the affairs of Hebei, but the top secret of the imperial court, they were discussing strategies and deducing the battle situation, at this time, the four ministries sent envoys to ask the joint forces to attack Yuan Shao, whether it was a coincidence, or someone leaked the news, if it was the latter, then it was a big deal!

On the other hand, once the decisive battle between Cao and Yuan began, the main soldiers and horses of both sides would inevitably be concentrated along the Yellow River, and the rear of Hebei would be empty.

Then again, there is no free lunch in the world, the four divisions sent troops south, and attacked Yuan Shao back and forth, after the matter was completed, how could they not have a plan?

"Yuan's wolf ambition, repeatedly confronting the imperial court, the prime minister will lead the army sooner or later, and the four departments are willing to send troops to help in the war, which is naturally better, as for the reward you mentioned, what do you refer to?"

After being kicked at the bottom, Cui Yan immediately asked, the appetite of the steppe wolf, I'm afraid it's amazing, right?

"It is a matter of course to send troops to fight thieves and serve the country loyally, and the four ministries dare not ask for too much, as long as the four terms are met......"

This time, it was the Xianbei envoy - Murong Jiujin, this person was gentle-spoken, polite, and deferential, but don't forget, the dog that bites people doesn't show its teeth!

"First, the north is bitterly cold, and the people's livelihood is suffering, and I hope that the imperial court will reward 800,000 pieces of corn, 200,000 horses of silk, 400,000 catties of refined salt, 1 million catties of wrought iron, and 100,000 catties of tea...... As a salary for the four troops!

Second, after the four divisions sent troops, they freely mobilized men and horses, and were not subject to the restrictions of the imperial court, as for the seized money, grain, women, and cloth...... All the spoils of war belong to the warriors!

Third, the imperial court opened a fang market, using corn, refined salt, ironware, and tea from the Central Plains to exchange cattle, sheep, horses, and medicinal materials from various tribes, and members of various departments of the grassland could enter the interior to do business and were allowed to walk around!

Fourth, the millions of subjects of the four divisions are all nostalgic for their ancestors' old land, hoping that after the war, they can move their tribes, return to the old land to live, and forever be a family of the Han Dynasty! ”

Between the words, Murong Jiujin took out a sheepskin map, on which the mountains, rivers, cities, and roads were outlined with rough lines...... It's the terrain along the Great Wall!

"The counties of Yanmen, Xinxing, and Taiyuan were taken away by the Qin people, and they should be returned to the Xiongnu tribe!"

"Daijun, Yunzhong, and Zhongshan counties were taken away by King Zhao Wuling, and they should be returned to the Karasuma tribe!"

"The three counties of Yuyang, Fanyang, and Shanggu are the homeland of Donghu, and they should be returned to the Xianbei tribe!"

"The three counties of Changli, Liaoxi, and Youbeiping belong to our Gongsun clan!"

…………………………………

The nomads, the knife does not leave their bodies, the four of them pulled out a small dagger, and in an instant, they cut the sheepskin map, it is really like a vicious wolf tearing a sheep, extremely ferocious, fast and ruthless!

The four clauses proposed, the lobby was silent, and the four envoys were eyeing each other, waiting for the other party's reply, this is a two-headed gamble, if Cao Cao does not agree, they will go to Yuan Shao, and the same can achieve the goal!

Looking at the lobby again, Cao Cao's eyes were slightly closed, his face was sinking like water, Guo Jia clenched his teeth, trembling all over, Xiao Yi smiled, and frequently touched his nose......

A group of unfed steppe wolves, dishonest herding horses and sheep, actually stretched their claws into the Han soil, the alliance between the two sides, the north and the south, carved up Yuan Shao's city, wealth, and beauties, it seems to be mutually beneficial, but in fact, it contains evil intentions!

The first one, before the troops were dispatched, they asked for a large amount of supplies, which was an empty glove white wolf, and with the first one, there was a second and a third one...... If they don't empty the treasury of the Han Dynasty, they will never stop!

Second, once they enter the Great Wall, the people of Hebei will inevitably suffer, burn, kill and plunder, do all kinds of evil, leaving the court with a scorched earth, and even, they are waiting for Cao and Yuan to be defeated, and their own fishermen will benefit!

The third one, the two sides exchange markets and exchange goods, which sounds good, but don't forget, the steppe caravan enters the Han land and walks unrestricted, which is equivalent to reconnoitering the terrain, finding out the truth and preparing for the invasion!

Especially the fourth, the land along the Great Wall, is the ancestors of China, it took thousands of years, shed countless blood, inch by inch, if it is handed over, it is a number of classics to forget the ancestors, leaving a lifetime of infamy!

The only thing Xiao Yi wondered about was that the leaders of the various tribes of the grassland had well-developed limbs and simple minds, who gave them such a ruthless strategy, could it be that there was a black hand behind them?

"Huh! - The ambition of the wolf, if it is revealed, you put up your dog's ears and listen, three conditions, one should not, the territory of the Han Dynasty, not an inch of land, who dares to cross the Great Wall half a step, this general will immediately send troops, seize its land, burn its house, exterminate its species, corpse mountains and rivers of blood, never die! ”

Xiao Yi stepped forward, and with a wave of his sword, the wrists of the four messengers were bloody, and the daggers and maps all fell to the ground, making a 'clanging' sound......

This sword is quite ingenious, breaking the skin and seeing blood, but it does not hurt the muscles and bones, it can be regarded as merciful, the two countries are fighting, and if they don't cut it, the court will have more bearing!

Xiao Yi's sword flower rolled, picked up four maps, and stuffed them all into his arms, inside and outside the Great Wall, cultivated land and pastures, all of them are ours, dare to ask the Han for land...... Grandma's can't kill you!
