On the seventh day of the fourth month of the sixth year of Chuping, thirty miles outside the city of Yecheng, the gongs and drums shook the sky, the horn whined, the military flag fluttered in the wind, a large number of Dong Zhuojun lined up and waited, with quite lofty etiquette to welcome the Gongsun Du and Goguryeo, Sanhan and Fuyu and other envoys who came from afar to ask Dong Zhuojun for the title, because of Dong Boss's bad reputation and Kang Peng's external suppression-based methods, the princes and the surrounding countries were afraid of Dong Boss like a tiger, this was the first time that the princes took the initiative to surrender and surrender to foreign countries, so Kang Peng attached great importance to it, and wanted to leave a good impression on these princes, to set an example for Jiaozhou Shijia and Jiaozhi, Tianzhu, Java and other countries. Of course, Kang Peng is also an expedient measure, the rich reserves of magnesium and coal mines on the Korean Peninsula are good things that make Kang Peng salivate, but Dong Zhuojun's current strategic focus is in the Central Plains, and Kang Peng can only stabilize them for the time being.

At noon, a team came to the east of Yecheng, Dong Zhuojun's gongs and drums were louder, the horn sounded longer, Kang Peng also personally took the royal car to greet him, and the Gongsun Du family and the envoys of Goguryeo and other countries hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, walked over, and when they came to the front of the car of King Kangpeng, they knelt down together and saluted, and sang praises to Kang Peng in all kinds of strange Chinese: "We meet the great Han Kang Wangye, Kang Wangye has enjoyed a thousand years of happiness, and he is old and far away. ”

Kang Peng laughed and got out of the car, and personally helped Gongsun Du's family and the envoys of various countries up, when he helped Gongsun Huang, the eldest grandson of Gongsun Du, Kang Peng pretended to be fond of Gongsun Huang, and laughed at Gongsun Du: "Shengji, your grandson is full of heaven, his eyebrows are beautiful, he is blessed, and his future will be limitless, you are really blessed." Gongsun Du hurriedly said a few words of dog grandson and the like, Kang Peng took the opportunity to say: "The second daughter of the orphan married Niu Fu of Liangzhou Thorn Shi and gave birth to a daughter, who is the same age as your grandson. ”

Gongsun Du was overjoyed, he was good friends with Dong Zhuojun's veteran Xu Rong, and knew that Dong Zhuojun was powerful, so he was indeed sincerely obedient to Dong Zhuojun, and his only wish was just to live in Liaodong.

But what made Gongsun Du ecstatic was still behind, Kang Peng didn't even blink his eyelids, and said: "Since he is already the grandson-in-law of the lonely future and the eldest grandson of Shengji, there is no reward for the lonely, and it is not convenient to belong to Youzhou in the remoteness of Liaodong, so the four counties of Liaodong, Xuansu, Lelang and Daifang will be classified as Pingzhou, so that Gu's grandson-in-law will be hereditary in the future to replace Pingzhou." ”

Liaodong is the real Dong Boss when he was in power Gongsun Du's fiefdom, Xuansu, Lelang and the three counties of Daifang are Gongsun Du's turf taken advantage of the Central Plains melee, not recognized by the imperial court, Kang Peng can also use this excuse to declare war on Gongsun Du at any time, now Kang Peng is just a short favor, Gongsun Du's territory has been sealed over Gongsun Du, but it is to let Gongsun Du manage these counties in the name of righteousness, and indirectly raised Gongsun Du's official position by several levels, these are all things that Gongsun Du dreams of, Gongsun Du is overjoyed, Immediately, he took his second son Gongsun Gong and his two grandsons to kowtow to thank him, secretly rejoicing in the wisdom of surrendering to Dong Zhuojun.

After knowing what Gongsun Du's family hoped from the history books and successfully subdued Gongsun Du, Kang Peng was about to implement a policy of wooing the envoys of Goguryeo and other countries, but a voice came from the back of the envoy procession, "His Royal Highness Kangwang, His Royal Highness King Kang, I am the envoy of the Great Evil Horse Tai Kingdom, and I want to protest against your country's rude hospitality." "Unlike the envoys of Goguryeo and other countries on the Korean Peninsula, the envoy of the Yamatai State across the sea from China, Nan Shengmi, is obviously more fluent in Chinese, and then if he did not sign up for his own words, Dong Zhuojun and others would definitely regard his voice as China's own people.

"The King." Gongsun Du cautiously whispered: "I don't know how the Evil Horse Taiguo offended the king?" The king's subordinates received the villain and the other countries when they were courteous, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation were all abundant, but they were extremely mean to the people of Yamatai, and the villain dared to say a word, even making it difficult, General Li and General Guo They only allowed the people of Yamatai to eat pig food and dog food, and if they didn't eat it, they would be beaten, and they were only allowed to wear animal skins that had not been nitrated, and they would be beaten if they didn't wear them, and most of the female dependents in the Yamatai envoy were killed by the soldiers of the two generals, including the wives and daughters who were difficult to ascend to rice. But I am polite and respectful, I don't know why the king treats them like this? ”

Kang Peng's face was expressionless, and he did not answer Gongsun Du's words, and in a moment, a short man less than four feet tall rushed to Kang Peng, although he was only wearing a blood-stained animal skin, and there was a black stinky stone on his back, which provoked the people of Jizhou and many Dong Zhuojun generals who were watching from afar to laugh, but the dwarf had no anger on his face, and bowed to Kang Peng respectfully before saying: "King, I am the envoy of the Great Evil Matai State to raise rice, I don't know how my country offended the king, Let the king's subordinates, General Li and General Guo, torture our delegation in every way, force our dignified envoy to eat pig food and wear animal skins, beat him at every turn, and return the female dependents of our mission, all kinds of ** means, which are profound. ”

Speaking of this, Kang Peng, who was difficult to ascend to rice and behaved, kowtowed, bowed his head and said loudly: "May I ask the king, where did I offend the king of the Evil Horse Taiguo, please make it clear to the king, it is difficult to ascend to the king on behalf of the queen of Beimihu." ”

Although he was humiliated by Dong Zhuojun, Nanshengmi's attitude was kind, courteous and thoughtful, neither humble nor arrogant, and won a lot of goodwill and sympathy from the onlookers in Jizhou, even Dong Zhuojun's unwitting Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Pang De and others felt that Li Dao and Guo Yan had gone too far, only Kang Peng's ugly face sneered, and he was even more angry that Nanshengmi could speak fluent Chinese.

At this time, Li Dao and Guo Yan had also rushed forward, and Kang Peng asked coldly: "You also heard what the envoy of Yamatai said just now, is there such a thing?" Nansheng Mi hurriedly corrected: "The king, it is the Great Evil Horse Taiguo. Kang Peng ignored the words of difficult rice, and just asked: "Say, is there such a thing?" ”

Li Dao and Guo Yanxin said Didn't you tell us to do this, but with Dong Boss Jiwei in front, he still replied honestly: "Back to the king, there is such a thing." As soon as the two of them said this, the people of Jizhou who were watching were in an uproar, and Dong Zhuojun's generals also had a thought in their hearts, these two veteran ruffians were going to be unlucky.

Sure enough, Kang Peng's face immediately changed color, and he scolded: "Two wastes, Lone is to explain what you do?" I just asked you to spare a breath for the people of Yamatai, but this difficult rice can still walk, why don't you break his legs? What about the rest of Yamadai? Did you break their hands and feet? ”

"Wow!" The people of Jizhou, Dong Zhuojun and the envoys of various countries were dumbfounded, almost unable to believe their ears, but Kang Peng continued to scold: "Get down, I originally planned to reward you with three hundred gold, but now it will be halved to punish you for your incompetence." The two veteran ruffians of Dong Zhuojun hung their heads in despair, and in the blink of an eye, the last sound of flesh and skin, broken bones and screams came from the envoys.

Nanshengmi's face turned pale, and he said word by word: "Please make it clear to the king, where did the country offend the Han Dynasty, if it is the fault of Nanshengmi, Nanshengmi is willing to apologize for the sin, in order to ask the king for forgiveness, and not damage the good of your two countries for ten thousand years." ”

Kang Peng remained silent, waving his hand to the back, a Kang Peng soldier came over with a plate, the plate was full of red apples, Kang Peng picked up an apple and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Nansheng Mi immediately replied: "Back to the king, it's an apple." ”

"As far as Gu knows, your Yamatai Kingdom doesn't produce apples yet, right?" Kang Peng asked lightly.

"Returning to the king, king Mingjian, my great evil horse Taiguo does not produce apples." Nanshengmi didn't know what Kang Peng was doing, but replied honestly: "The apples eaten by our people have to be purchased from the Heavenly Empire, so the price is very expensive. ”

Kang Peng squatted down, looked into Nanshengmi's eyes and said, "Gu knows, when you adults in the Yamatai Kingdom give apples to children, you have to tell a story to the children, tell Gu, what is that story?" ”

Nanshengmi's eyes suddenly widened, his face became like the color of a dead man, and his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't make a sound, so that everyone present could see that he had a ghost in his heart, but he wondered what the story Kang Peng said could make Nanshengmi, who was still respectful just now, so afraid.

"Don't you dare to say it?" Kang Peng asked Nanshengmi again, but Nanshengmi closed his eyes and didn't say a word. Kang Peng stood up and said loudly to the people of Jizhou and Dong Zhuojun: "The people of the Han Dynasty, I want to tell you a story about apples, this story is widely spread in the country of Yamatai, and every child in Yamatai has heard such a story and passed it on from generation to generation. ”

The people of Jizhou and Dong Zhuojun were silent, only to hear Kang Peng say loudly: "When the parents of Yamataiguo give their children apples, they have to ask their children whether apples are delicious, whether apples are delicious or not, we Han people know, not to mention Yamataiguo, which does not produce apples, of course the children answer that they are delicious." Speaking of this, Kang Peng was already furious and yelled: "The adults of Yamatai will tell children that apples are delicious, but Yamatai does not have them, only our Han Dynasty has them, if you want to eat apples, you have to come to our Han Dynasty when they grow up to grab them!" If you want to play with a beautiful little girl, you have to go to our big man to grab it! Because only in our big Han can we have delicious apples! Only then can there be beautiful girls! ”

Kang Peng's roar floated far away by the breeze, and after a while, the people of Jizhou and Dong Zhuojun's soldiers roared angrily, "Beast! These brutes! Kill all these brutes! ”

"Be careful, King!" Zhao Yun suddenly exclaimed, Kang Peng didn't have time to bow his head, Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd had already flown out of his hand, grazing Kang Peng's fat legs and flying over, nailing Nansheng Mi Shengsheng, who was already holding a short knife, to the ground, Lu Bu jumped off the red rabbit horse, scolded and rushed over, "Fuck you, you dare to worry about our big man's things, and dare to assassinate my father-in-law!" "There was a wave of punches and kicks at Nansheng Mi, and Nansheng Mi was able to withstand Lu Bu's divine power, and within a moment, he was beaten to the point that his tendons were broken and fractured, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

"It's a brute." Zhao Yun was the second person to rush to Kang Peng's side, and said hatefully: "Just now I was respectful, and I drew my sword in a blink of an eye, the people of this country are really jackals." ”

"You can't call them people, you can only call them brutes." Kang Peng said coldly: "Spread the will of Gu, spread the story that Gu just said to the whole country, and then print it like a student textbook, so that the people of the Han Dynasty will always be wary of these beasts, so as to eliminate these beasts." Kang Peng's willfulness led to many consequences, the first is that the Yamatai State and Dong Zhuojun have been in a state of complete hostility since then, and the Yamatai State has invaded the Korean Peninsula many times, trying to take advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains to use the Korean Peninsula as a springboard to enter the Central Plains, until Kang Peng's eldest son will stop the Yamatai Slaughter. The second is the attitude of Cao Cao Jun and Liu Beijun towards Yamatai, Cao Cao's army is better, although Cao Caojun and Kang Peng are incompatible, but Cao Cao and Guo Jia both believe that the Hanist Kang Peng's treatment of Yamataiguo is correct, even if he fights to the death with Dong Zhuojun, he insists on not contacting Yamataiguo; And Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who proclaimed themselves royalty, didn't believe Kang Peng's words at all, in line with the truth that the enemy's enemy is a friend, when the war was at its most intense, there were even a few Yamatai reinforcements in Liu Bei's army, and finally Liu Bei returned ......

When the furious Dong Zhuojun soldiers and the people of Jizhou divided the bodies of the remaining Yamatai people, Gongsun Du's family and Goguryeo, Sanhan and Fuyu and other envoys were already so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and the people of Yamatai came with them, and as a result, Nanshengmi also tried to assassinate Dong Boss, if Dong Boss, who was good at killing, treated them as accomplices, then none of them could stand and go back.

"Friends come with good wine, and jackals come with knives and guns." Kang Peng helped them up one by one, comforted them and said: "The jackals of Yamatai are the best at disguise, you are all deceived by them, and I will not blame you." ”

That night, Kang Peng set up a banquet in the official hall of Yecheng to entertain the Gongsun Du family and the envoys of the countries, and used both grace and power, first rewarded the Gongsun family and the envoys of the countries, and named Gongsun Du as the pastor of Pingzhou, the Marquis of Xiangping and the right general, and rewarded the kings of the countries with gold seals and some copper utensils, recognizing the legitimate status of the countries as subject states of the Han Dynasty, in exchange for the loyalty of the countries to Kang Peng and the support of Dong Zhuojun's new strategy, the guests and hosts returned happily.

Although Kang Peng was awarded these rewards with the honor of the Han court, Kang Peng was confident that Emperor Han Xian did not dare not agree to his reward, who knew that after sending away the Gongsun family and the envoys of other countries, Kang Peng received a news that made him extremely angry - Emperor Han Xian actually recognized Liu Bei's status as an imperial uncle! Moreover, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also sent Dong Chenglai to pass on the edict, denying Kang Peng's reward to Gongsun Du and the countries, and reprimanded Kang Peng for killing all the envoys of the Evil Horse Tai State, which led to the declaration of war between the Han Dynasty and the Evil Ma Tai State, and asked Kang Peng to repair the relationship with the Evil Ma Tai State.

When Dong Cheng finished reciting the holy decree of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Kang Peng did not kneel down to thank him, but jumped up and snatched the bullshit holy decree, and tore it to pieces in three or two, Dong Cheng asked angrily: "His Royal Highness King Kang, you tear up the holy decree, this is a capital crime of killing the head, do you want to rebel?" ”

Dong Cheng's words were not finished, Kang Peng, who had already seen him unpleasant, had already punched him hard, and immediately beat Dong Cheng to the point that his face was full of flowers, Kang Peng turned around and shouted: "Pack up for Lonely, leave immediately, and go to Luoyang to settle accounts with that little emperor!" ”
