Chapter 156: King Xia

Cheng Gongying? Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Why didn't Yan Ming come this time?" ”

"Back to the Marquis of Changling, General Yan Xing is now being transferred to Lingju, and he is sending the last general to come to discuss peace." Cheng Gongying bowed and said.

"Peace?" Chen Mo leaned back, narrowed his eyes, and still smiled: "Why should Han Wenyue negotiate peace with me?" The previous negotiation has made it very clear that it is to be attached and give up all military power, and Han Sui wants to follow me into the court, what's the matter? I don't want to start a war lightly and involve innocent people, and be used as capital to ask for benefits from me by that Korean covenant? ”

Although he was laughing, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to be suddenly colder, Dian Wei twisted his neck, and looked at the man named Cheng Gongying with his eyes.

"Don't dare!" Cheng Gongying hurriedly lowered his head, firstly, to avoid Chen Mo's edge, and secondly, at that moment just now, Cheng Gongying did have a sense of fear, and did not dare to look at Chen Mo again so as not to show his cowardice.

"If you are here to negotiate peace, then you can go back, Han Sui doesn't want to run, I have time now, even if he runs to the Western Regions, I don't even need to send troops, just a letter, I can make the generals of the Western Regions all countries capture." Chen Mo looked at Cheng Gongying, waved his hand and said, "Tell Han Wenyue that if you think about this again, you will prepare to go to war." ”

"Whoa!" Cheng Gongying sighed silently, bowed to Chen Mo, and left.

"Lord, this Han Sui is delaying time, or taking advantage of the time that the lord is waiting, so that Han Sui thinks that the lord has some reason why he can't send troops, which is to keep sending people to tempt." Xu Shu frowned.

"It's been delayed for a long time, so it's no wonder that Han Sui is suspicious." Chen Mo nodded, Han Sui is known as the Yellow River Jiuqu, he is suspicious by nature, now that Chen Mo has won Wuwei, the Ma family bows down, originally there was no need to be so polite to him Han Sui, just wave his troops to attack, but Chen Mo has not moved his troops for a long time, and it is not incomprehensible for him to think about it.

"Xu Rong, Hua Xiong!" After a moment of silence, Chen Mo shouted, originally he was going to let Yan Xing send Han Sui's head, but now it seems that Yan Xing obviously didn't do it, since this is the case, then Chen Mo is not ready to continue to drag it out here, although Han Sui is likely to escape, but it has been delayed for too long, and if it is delayed, the New Year is approaching, and Xiliang's farming and grazing have to be preserved.

"In!" Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were listed.

"Then the two of you will lead the headquarters to fight, and take Jincheng as soon as possible, and it is best to bring me the head of Han Sui." Chen Mo looked at the two of them.

"The last general commands!" Xu Rong and Hua Xiong bowed and took the order.

"My lord." Chen Mo was about to let everyone disperse, but he saw Cui Geng hurriedly coming over, and saluted Chen Mo and said, "There is an envoy from King Xia to see you." ”

"King Xia!?" Chen Mo looked at Xu Shu and Xun Yu blankly, there is no Xia Kingdom in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, where did this Xia King jump out?

"I don't know." Seeing Chen Mo looking over, Cui Geng shook his head and said, "The other party only said that it was the envoy of King Xia." ”

"Let him in!" Chen Mo nodded, now that Xiliang is calm, it is the time to build a transportation business with the surrounding small countries, and the other party took the initiative to send an envoy, there is no reason not to see it.

"Whoa!" Cui Geng agreed, said goodbye and left.

Soon, I saw Cui Geng come in with a person, everyone looked, but saw that this person was no different from the Han people, and when they saw everyone's eyes, the messenger smiled and bowed down and said: "Xiaguan Zhao Yun, I have seen the Marquis of Changling." ”

In a mouthful of official words, he couldn't hear any noise, and Chen Mo was surprised: "The envoy's official words are good. ”

"Back to the Marquis of Changling, in the ancestral hometown of martial arts, since he grew up in Han land, he naturally speaks Chinese." Zhao Wei smiled.

"Oh?" When Chen Mo heard this, he nodded with a smile, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, a Han man ran to be a courtier for another country, although the Han did not forcibly restrain him in this regard, and even there were many tribes handed down by the Han people on the grassland, but after all, it was still a little unhappy, but now that diplomatic relations were established at the level of the two countries, Chen Mo could not lose his manners, nodded and smiled: "I don't know which country the envoy said King Xia is the lord?" Forgive this official for being unheard, among the border countries, I have never heard of the Xia Kingdom. ”

"Our country is located in a remote area, the roads are difficult to travel, and there is little communication with the outside world, so it is not surprising that the Marquis of Changling does not know." The person who came smiled and said: "This time I came down to come down by the order of my king to come to make peace with the Marquis of Changling and Dangqiang." ”

"Burn Dangqiang?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "In this way, this Xia Kingdom is not far from here. ”

"It's not far." The person nodded and said: "The capital of our country is in Caohan, and it is a friendly neighbor with Burning Dangqiang, and it is to be entrusted by the King of Burning Crotch Qiang to come to make peace." ”

"What do you say......" The smile on Chen Mo's face gradually disappeared, and his tone became cold: "Where is the capital of King Xia's country?" ”

"Sohan!" Zhao Wei is still humble and polite.

"There is also a county in Longxi, called Caohan, if I remember correctly, it is about 300 miles away, and the capital of your country is the same name as my Dahan county." Chen Mo looked at Zhao Wei and said lightly: "It is easy to cause misunderstanding between the two countries." ”

"There is no misunderstanding, as early as twenty years ago, my lord had already established a kingdom in Caohan for the summer." Zhao Wei smiled indifferently.

"Bang~" Chen Mo slapped the table and said, "Take it!" ”

Dian Wei didn't say a word, stepped forward and kicked that Zhao Wei down.

"Marquis Changling, the two countries exchanged troops, did not cut the envoys, and came with a national salute, how can your country be so rude!?" Zhao Wei wanted to struggle angrily, but Dian Wei pressed one hand on his head, like a mountain, he couldn't break free at all, so he could only shout angrily in dissatisfaction.

"If you want to establish a country, get out of the territory of the Han Dynasty, then you will establish a country is the ability of your bullshit Xia King, and now you occupy my Han City, speak my Han language, and control my Han people, who gave you the courage to dare to call the country!?" Chen Mo took the case and looked at Zhao Wei coldly.

"Since ancient times, there are virtuous people living in the world, the world has never been a family and a surname of the world, the court has no way, my king is compassionate to the people to establish a country, why not!?" Zhao Wei said angrily: "The Marquis of Changling is also a wise man in the world, and now the Marquis of Changling is using troops in Xiliang, and my king is not willing to meddle in the affairs of your Han family, but if the Marquis of Changling ignores diplomatic relations and kills our envoys, I am afraid that the 100,000 troops of Daxia will not agree." ”

"One hundred thousand?" Chen Mo nodded, looked at Zhao Yu and said: "Okay, I'll wait for his 100,000 army to come, drag it out, behead it, let his people send it back, and tell that bullshit King Xia to surrender immediately, otherwise, the day my army comes to the city will be the time when he will be beheaded!" ”

"Whoa!" Dian Wei didn't say a word, and dragged Zhao Wei, who was screaming, out.

"Inform Xu Rong and Hua Xiong that the plan has changed, and the troops will be postponed!" Ignoring Zhao Wei again, Chen Mo looked at the guard.

"Whoa!"

"Lord, if the other party really has an army of 100,000 people......" Xun You looked at Chen Mo worriedly.

"How many people does Xiliang have? 100,000 troops, what to raise in this area of Xiaohuangzhong? Most of them are Qiang people of all ethnic groups gathering, lying about 100,000, and it would be good for this Xia country to come up with 10,000. Chen Mo sneered when he heard this, the army needs money and grain to support, Caohan is located in the area of Heguan, which is mountainous, whether it is grazing or farming, it can't support too many people, what can be used to raise an army of 100,000.

The so-called 100,000 army should be the nearby Qiang people, didn't I see that the King of Xia sent someone over this time, just to burn Dangqiang?

"Then Han Sui ......," Xun You frowned.

"Just on this ground, give Han Sui an excuse to let his guard down." Chen Mo got up and said: "Pass on my military order, order Xu Rong and Hua Xiong to be stationed here, Tai Shi Ci will raise troops to march towards Caohan, destroy this Xia Kingdom first, and then talk about Han Sui!" ”

On the surface, Han Sui seems to be more threatening, but the account can't be counted like this, no matter how chaotic the princes in the world are, it is as strong as Yuan Shao does not dare to call the king an official without authorization, even if it is just for a show, Yuan Shao has to ask the court for instructions.

Cao Cao holds the Son of Heaven in his hand, naturally he can't trespass without permission, Chen Mo is working hard to maintain the Chang'an court here, and he doesn't dare to call the king casually, this Xia King actually called the king an official twenty years ago, although the land is a remote and desolate place, but in this nature, it is directly impacting the majesty of the court.

If Chen Mo didn't know, it would be fine, he himself was entertaining himself in the foot of the mountain, but he didn't know the importance of running to persuade peace, since he already knew, Chen Mo, as the actual ruler of the Chang'an Imperial Court today, naturally had to maintain the majesty of the imperial court, and this Xia Kingdom must be destroyed.

As for Han Sui, isn't he suspicious? Chen Mo gave him a reason, and let Han Sui think about it for a long time, and at the same time, it was also the last chance for Yan Xing, it had been so long, Han Sui was still alive and kicking around in Jincheng, Rao was a little impatient with Chen Mo's patience, he couldn't have been stationed in Xiliang.

"Whoa!" When the people heard this, they bowed down and received the order.

Tai Shi Ci was already preparing to rush to Yunzhong to serve as the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, but suddenly heard that Chen Mo was going to send troops to the Xia Kingdom, and he was also a little at a loss, where is this place?

When he learned that the other party's capital was in Caohan, Tai Shici was also quite speechless, and he dared to be the king with a county order?

Without saying a word at the moment, the soldiers went to Caohan, the Xiliang Qiang tribe had just experienced a big defeat, and they had already been killed by Chen Mo, how could they dare to care about it, and because of the previous incident, the crotch burning was already at odds with the various ethnic groups, and no one was willing to take care of it.

Cao Han was also startled when he heard that Chen Mo had sent troops to attack, and hurriedly waved his troops to resist.

But just as Chen Mo predicted, this so-called Xia Kingdom is only a land of three counties, and it is still a poor and remote country, how can there be any regular army, most of them are temporary conscriptions by the people, and when they meet Tai Shi Ci's elite army, they are almost immediately defeated, but in half a month, they were besieged by Tai Shi Ci Wangcheng Caohan.

After only three days of fighting, the city was broken, and Song Jian, the king of Xia, and one of his officials were all beheaded, and a few days later, Song Jian's head was sent to Di Dao, which was like a farce, and the dynasty known as having 100,000 fierce divisions was also declared to be destroyed.

The whole process was like a farce in Chen Mo's eyes, but taking this opportunity also boosted Chen Mo's prestige among the Qiang people, at least for a long time, the Qiang people did not dare to make a mistake.
