Chapter 40: The Annexation of Pumin

At the banquet, Tuoba really got carried away, and Chu Jinmo talked and laughed, this time the Pumin rebellion, I didn't expect it to be a disaster, but it was a blessing in disguise, not only did I not have to fight with the Huns, but also formed an alliance with Baishui City. Thinking of this, he raised his glass and clinked glasses with Chu Jinmo again, and I sat in the banquet and watched coldly.

Tuoba Zhen's drunken face was slightly red, "King Chu, you are really a big hero among my Yuexi men, even the most beloved woman has been given to me, you can rest assured, from now on, I will only look forward to you Chu Jin Mo Ma in the Pumin Department!" ”

Chu Jinmo didn't have any expression on his face, he couldn't see joy or anger, and said: "Yuexi is located on the border, sandwiched between the two powerful enemies of the Han and the Xiongnu. Only by uniting closely together can we not be bullied. ”

Tuoba Zhen said: "You're right, drink! Glad! ”

All the generals of the Pumin Department participated in this feast, and the wine bottles were piled up, and everyone was so drunk that their faces were red.

I'm afraid that Chu Jinmo has also drunk too much, and I've been keeping an eye on him. He sensed my gaze, looked at me, and gave me a thrilling smile. After spending a few months with Chu Jinmo, we helped each other and supported each other, and we can be called friends who were born and died together.

Seeing his smile at this time, I don't know why, my heart jumped violently. I hurriedly retracted my gaze, I will never fall in love with someone again in this life, Huo Quai's illness alone is enough.

One of the nobles of Pumin walked up to me with a wine glass and said, "Miss Mulan, I would like to give you a glass!" ”

I don't like to drink, especially the wine in Yuexi, like the Huns, has a bad smell of mare's milk. I frowned, and was about to say no, when I saw Tuobazhen snatch the wine glass from the man's hand and drink it dry, his gaze fiery and intense.

Chu Jinmo didn't speak, just stared at the wine cup in front of him, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. But I know Chu Jinmo, the more angry he is, the more silent he will be. On weekdays, although he is happy and angry, as long as he is determined to do something, he will definitely do it.

The banquet lasted until the evening, and Tuoba Zhen was already drunk, and the Pumin generals in the camp were all drunk and lay on the ground unable to move. At this time, Chu Jinmo made a move.

A rush of footsteps entered the camp, and a few Yuexi guards came in, rushed over and tied everyone up with ropes. Pumin's generals knew something bad at this moment, and wanted to struggle, but their limbs were weak and their whole body was weak. I watched the wolf-like Yuexi guards tie themselves up.

Tuoba Zhen said angrily: "Chu Jinmo, what are you doing here!" Are you crazy? ”

Chu Jinmo threw the wine cup on the ground and said coldly: "The little firefly light dares to compete with the moon!" You want Mulan, do you deserve it? ”

I walked over, looked condescendingly at Tuoba Zhen who was tied into a rice dumpling, shook his head and said, "Leader Tuoba Zhen, your popularity is not good, and even your alcohol consumption is too bad!" ”

Tuoba Zhen shouted: "I don't get drunk in a thousand cups on weekdays, how can I get drunk with a few jars of wine!" He rolled his eyes and then thought, "Could it be that you drugged the wine?" ”

I nodded: "Yes, we all take the antidote first, so we don't get drunk no matter how we drink." And you people from the Pumin Ministry... No, there will be no more Pumin in the future! ”

Tuoba Zhen's eyes widened, and he had to say something more. Chu Jinmo said coldly: "Send it to King Zuoxian of the Huns!" ”

Walking out of Tuoba Zhen's camp, at this time, the ambush soldiers brought by Chu Jinmo had subdued all the remaining remnants of the Pumin Min, and the people of the Pumin Department saw that the leader Tuoba Zhen and the generals were all captured, and they knew that the general trend of the Dao had gone, and they surrendered one after another.

A cool breeze blew through the night, and I couldn't help but shake down, and a cloak was immediately draped over my body. I turned around, Chu Jinmo looked at me and said, "Why do you want to promise Tuoba Zhen to stay as a hostage?" ”

I said softly, "Only by gaining the trust of Tuoba Zhen can I take down the Pumin Department so smoothly." ”

Chu Jinmo faced me and reached over to hold my hand, and beads of sweat oozed from his palms: "I wanted to do it on the spot at that time, I was really afraid of what Tuoba really would do to you." ”

I withdrew my hand without a trace: "You are right that you did not act rashly, this soldier is not bloody, and he won't have to work hard to lose money and money, so he should be happy." ”

Chu Jinmo was stunned, and finally sighed lightly and said, "Let's go, go see King Zuoxian." ”

When I came to the court of the Xiongnu to see King Zuoxian, the golden tent was full of people, and King Zuoxian sat on the tall throne covered with brilliant fur, dressed luxuriously, revealing the temperament of a king.

Chu Jinmo took a step forward: "Chu Jinmo did not live up to the king's love and quelled the rebellion of the Pumin Tribe!" ”

King Zuo Xian looked at Chu Jinmo with satisfaction and said: "Sure enough, as you said, I didn't need a single soldier of my Huns, and I didn't need a knife or a shot, not only put down the rebellion, but even Tuoba Zhen was sent to the Huns." ”

A Hun nobleman said: "The king really didn't misunderstand Chu Jinmo, he said that he could get rid of Tuoba Zhen without spending a sword, and he did it." In the future, if there are any unsatisfied tribes in Yuexi, they will all be pacified by Chu Jinmo! ”

Chu Jinmo said: "The subordinates not only sent Tuoba Zhen, but also all the generals of his Pumin Department, as well as the cattle, sheep and horses, to the king!" ”

King Zuo Xian thought for a while and said, "It's useless to keep these captives, they are all yours." There are many cattle, sheep and horses, and we have a lot of Huns, and they are all given to you. In addition, I will reward you with gold and silver treasures, and reward you for your merits this time. ”

Chu Jinmo bowed his head and said: "This time the rebellion is all dependent on the wise leadership of the king, and I, Chu Jinmo, have no skill in size." ”

There was a sound of praise in all directions, and King Zuo Xian nodded and said: "Chu Jinmo is crowned as the envoy of the Yuexi Ministries, and in the future, all the Yuexi Ministries will be under the jurisdiction of Chu Jinmo." ”

Chu Jinmo thanked him: "Thank you, King Zuoxian!" ”

I know that Chu Jinmo at this time did not faint because of a small victory, he knew his weight very well, and he was very clear about what level Yuexi was at the moment. Offering the captives, cattle and sheep to King Zuo Xian was just a retreat, and King Zuo Xian didn't look down on this spoil.

But in this way, Chu Jinmo's annexation of the Pumin Department is justified, and it is for the Huns to quell the rebellion!

We rested at the post station, and Chu Jinmo said: "This time not only annexed the Pumin Minbu, but also made a knot, it is really killing two birds with one stone." ”

I said, "I wanted to tell you for a long time, there are thousands of people in the small Baishui City, and there are only 10,000 people from the surrounding small tribes. Now that you are called the king and founded the country, how will the Huns tolerate you? It is better to take this opportunity to push the boat down the river, and call him the king in the future. One is to paralyze the Huns, and the other is to prevent yourself from becoming the target of the public! ”

Chu Jinmo's body shook: "Mulan, you are still thoughtful." ”

We were talking, and suddenly I felt someone looking at me. I looked at the man and couldn't help but be taken aback, Zhao Ponu?

The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong figure, pretending to be a merchant. At this time, he was sitting on the seat of the post station, holding a tea cup, and his eyes were looking straight at me, it was Huo Quai's confidant Zhao Ponu! How did he end up here?

Zhao Ponu stood up, walked to my side, and said to me, "Miss Mulan? ”

Chu Jinmo didn't wait for me to answer, and immediately said, "Your Excellency has recognized the wrong person!" ”

Zhao Ponu affirmed: "You are Miss Mulan, I will never admit my mistake!" ”

Chu Jinmo gave him a look, and several of his guards immediately rushed up to stand up to Zhao Ponu, Zhao Ponu was outnumbered, I was afraid that he would suffer, so I hurriedly stopped: "Don't hurt him, let him go!" ”

Zhao Ponu broke free from the guards and said to me, "Miss Mulan, why are you here?" Do you know General Lu Daohuo..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Jinmo pulled out his saber and said coldly: "If you want to die, get out immediately, and if you say one more word, I will kill you!" ”

Zhao Ponu's face changed, and he was about to make a move, and all the guards drew their swords one after another. I shook my head at Zhao Ponu, "You go!" ”

Zhao Ponu wanted to say something, but finally stomped his feet, turned around and walked out of the post station.

On the way back to Baishui City, I asked Chu Jinmo, "Why don't you ask me?" ”

Chu Jinmo shook his head: "I don't want to hear anything, you don't have to say anything, I'm so tired, let's go home quickly!"

When I heard Zhao Ponu say the words "Huo Quai", not only my body shook, but Chu Jinmo on the side was also shaken. He is well aware of the weight of Huo Qu's illness in my heart, and there is too much anxiety and uncertainty in his heart at this moment, and he would rather learn from the ostrich to escape.

Why did Zhao Ponu come all the way to the court of the Xiongnu king, did he come to inquire about the military situation? Is Huo Qubing going to attack the Huns again?

I sighed lightly, now the person who takes care of him by his side is Li Ziwei, why should I keep thinking about it! I whipped my horse and followed Chu Jinmo towards Baishui City.

Under the leadership of Chu Jinmo, Baishui City became stronger and stronger, but Chu Jinmo was not satisfied. I know that he has a greater goal in mind to achieve, that is, to unify the West of the West and be the leader of all the people of the West. In order to achieve this goal, the armed forces must be strong.

First of all, there must be weapons, and to have weapons, the most important thing is to have iron tools, the people of Yuexi do not know how to smelt iron, so getting iron tools is the top priority at present.

Chu Jinmo ordered that in the future, when the people of Baishui City go to any tribe to do business, the first thing they need to collect is iron tools. At any cost, famous horses and handsome birds, Dongzhu gold, as long as they can be exchanged for iron tools, these are all given.

Some people in Whitewater City are not happy, saying that it is really not worth it to change so many treasures for ironware. These words spread more and more, and they came and went to my ears.

I thought I had to do ideological work for these people to make them understand the importance of iron tools to us at the moment. So I asked Chu Jinmo to set up a banquet and invited these dissatisfied people to come.

At the banquet, after three rounds of drinking, someone mentioned the matter of iron tools.

I said to them, "Take a long-term view, for when you get the iron tools, our tribes will become strong, and the other tribes will be swallowed up by us." These are the famous horses and handsome birds that we have given to go, Dongzhu gold, sooner or later, it will still be ours one day! ”

Everyone exchanged heads for a while, and Qin Nan came out and said, "Miss Mulan is right, with the sword and sword, just grab these things that have been given back!" ”

Everyone nodded yes, and when I saw that the ideological work was almost done, I said: "Everyone must pay attention, the most important thing for us now is iron. ”

From then on, the people of Whitewater City went out to do business, as long as they could exchange iron tools with neighboring tribes, they would do whatever it takes, the mountains were high and the rivers were deep, and no matter how far the road was, they had to be transported back to Whitewater City to make weapons.

Whitewater City first had Feng Rong as the envoy to Tibet, and implemented a series of policies to enrich the people; Later, a steady stream of iron tools was brought back to the tribe. The country of Whitewater is rich and strong.
