In the Deyang Palace, the Ma family is solemn and magnificent, although there is no deliberate intimidation, but the solemn and majestic bearing unintentionally revealed in the entire hall immediately makes the Xianbei envoy feel a chill in his heart.

There were a total of four envoys who came this time, representing the four departments of Xianbei in central China. In addition to the Tuoba Department that surrendered to the Ma family and the root of the step that secretly communicated with the Ma family. These four people represent the Kebi Neng Department, the Mica Department, the Suli Department and the Jiji Department, and these lineups also make Ma Chao convinced that Zhang Liao and Tian Yu said that the Xianbei family still has a strong cohesion.

The leader of the four is called Murong Feng, and the surname Murong is a noble surname in the Xianbei tribe. According to the "Biography of Xianbei of the Three Kingdoms", the Murong clan came from the Middle Ages, and was a descendant of the clan leader Gao Xin, and after the establishment of the Xianbei country, he said that Mu Eryi (heaven and earth) was the way, following the appearance of the three lights (sun, moon, and stars), so he took Murong as his surname and called Murong clan.

And this Murong Feng is even more famous in history, known as the first warrior of Xianbei. He joined the army at the age of fifteen and made countless military exploits, and rode all over the desert. Later, he became the general of the Xianbei King Tanshihuai, and made great achievements for the unification of the Xianbei tribes of Tanshihuai. After the death of Tanshi Huai, the new king of Xianbei and Lian Wu Xionglie ruled Xianbei, making the tribe chaotic. Murong Feng was dissatisfied with Helian's arrogance and indulgence, and repeatedly clashed with Helian.

Subsequently, Xianbei disintegrated into three divisions: eastern, central, and western, and the famous Murong Marshal Murong Feng in Xianbei was put into the command of Kebineng. It is precisely because of the support of the Murong Yi clan that Kebi can win more with less and be invincible within three years in the battles with Tuoba Ying.

Ma Chao quietly glanced at Murong Feng and found that this person was over forty years old, and it seemed that this person was no different from Han people, especially since he spoke Chinese quite fluently, and it was effortless to communicate with him. However, he couldn't say a word to Ma Chao, so he muttered a few words to the three people around him. Ma Chao knew that he was translating Chinese, but he couldn't help but think, I don't know if Han Gugu knows Xianbei dialect? If not, will you still have time to learn? ……

After saying a few kind words, the Xianbei envoy cut to the chase, Murong Feng's statement was very clear, on behalf of the two major Xianbei tribes in China and the West, he agreed to cooperate with the Ma family, so that the Ma family could sell them grain, silk, porcelain, and preferably weapons. Then, they promised not to send troops to the Han land during the trade period, so as to seek peace between the two tribes.

Ma Chao smiled directly after hearing Murong Feng's words, if the Xianbei clan had proposed such a condition three years ago, Ma Chao would definitely have agreed without hesitation. Even, it may give Xianbei a lot of preferential conditions. But at this time, after knowing the difference between Xianbei and the Qiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan, Ma Chao did not recognize Xianbei's commitment to being a mother race.

Because, the Ma family occupies one-half of the vast land of the Han Dynasty, has sufficient soldiers and food, and has developed commerce. It is different from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the recent Gongsun Zhan. They were unable to bring aliens into submission because there was no strong commercial tie and no invincible force. Ma Chao has these, so at this moment, the race that he doesn't trust will only choose to make him surrender and enter the court as a hostage.

Therefore, although he was smiling at Ma Chao's face, he was actually angry and ignorant of current affairs: "The Ma family will not agree to such a condition at all, and it is just a courtesy notice for you to come here." If your two divisions do not follow, the two armies of Majia and Youzhou will advance in a big way and wipe out your two divisions. Don't think that you can travel thousands of miles away with a good horse, the Ma family started with the west of the Liang Tie horse, and now there are more male riders such as the wolf rider in the state, the Youyan Jing rider and the white horse Yicong, if you have the confidence to run over the horse of the Ma family, you can try it boldly! ”

As soon as these words came out, the three Xianbei envoys, including Murong Feng, were stunned, they couldn't imagine that Ma Chao didn't have the intention of negotiating at all, and he would say an ultimatum with such a tough attitude. Cold sweat immediately broke out on the heads of the three Xianbei envoys, but Murong Feng had a hidden anger on his face, stepped forward, and was about to attack. But when Ma Chao was already one step ahead of him, he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Those who oppose the prestige of my Ma family will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

The metallic sound rumbled throughout the entire Deyang Hall, and when the Ma family heard this heroic words, they all felt a surge of pride in their chests, and the blood in their veins seemed to be boiling. In particular, some brave and good generals looked at the eyes of the four Xianbei envoys in the hall, like a hungry wolf seeing a delicious lamb.

The powerful aura of the sudden change made the three Xianbei in the hall begin to tremble. Murong Feng's face was extremely ugly, and under the embarrassment, he spit out bluntly: "His Royal Highness King Yong, don't bully me Xianbei and don't know Han affairs, your Ma family is now at war with Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Cao Cao, the king of Wei, will send troops to Yingchuan in the near future......"

At this point, Murong Feng stopped abruptly, he suddenly looked up and saw the smile that appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, and regretted it in his heart: I was tricked......

Sure enough, then Ma Chao slowly sat back on his throne, and when he spoke again, his tone was already quite calm and polite: "You Xianbei clan know a lot, but, General Murong, do you really think that Cao Cao, the king of Wei, will send troops to help you Xianbei?" ”

"This? ......" Murong Feng groaned, and the hesitation on his face could not be concealed. The other three envoys looked at Murong Feng in shame, which made Murong Feng even more impetuous.

"If Cao Cao had the strength, he would have already sent troops with Sun Ce to attack the Ma family. If you really know about the struggle between the Ma family and the Cao family, you will know that when the Ma family was only in the three states of Liang, Yong, and Si, they repeatedly clashed with Cao Cao. But when did Cao Cao get a favor from the Ma family? Now my Ma family is even more dominant in the seven states of the Han Dynasty, with famous generals like clouds, ministers like rain, and soldiers on the front lines of each state, and they have repeatedly conducted military exercises on the Cao border, and the Cao family can fight back with half a point? ”

After saying this, Ma Chao smiled at Murong Feng like a close friend, and he was extremely cordial. Pointing to his head, he finally said: "Think about it, if Cao Cao really has the strength, how can he take the initiative to find you?" ”

"But, can ......" Murong Feng has been forced into a corner at this time, and he has no power to fight back, but it seems that he has a bottom line before coming here, and he doesn't dare to cross it no matter what, so he immediately changed his tone and said: "Everyone in the world says that King Yong is majestic and powerful, and he takes the world as a family, whether it is Qiang Hu or barbarian, they are all the children of the Ma family, regardless of relatives and relatives. They can all live in harmony and treat everyone equally. Are these all lies? ”

"Of course not."

"King Nayong, why is he so aggressive to my Xianbei clan!"

"Because I carry out this law, there is a premise, that is, those who serve the lord of my horse family can be treated like this; Those who don't surrender to the Ma family, you can look at the former Tieqiang League and the current Wuhuan Nalou, Wuyan and other departments. Or, Tuoba one, General Murong can also take a look......"

"Tuoba Dog Thief! It's a shame for me!! At the mention of the Tuoba Department, Murong Feng immediately roared. But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it a lot: Wouldn't it be so humiliating Tuoba in the Great Hall of the Sect of Tuoba to the Sect? ……

As a result, Murong Feng hurriedly redeemed: "King Yong, that Tuoba is also my Xianbei people no matter what." If you support him to attack our Xianbei tribe, you are interfering in my Xianbei internal affairs, which cannot be justified......"

Before he finished speaking, Ma Chao waved his hand to stop. At this point in the conversation, it's basically a rip-off. Ma Chao's time is precious, so he naturally doesn't have the mood to grind hard with him, and replied directly: "I won't say much to you about this matter, the negotiation is over today, you can retreat and discuss it again, play in Chang'an City for a few more days, and see my Ma family's customs." When you return, I will send messengers with you. Kebineng is fair, prestigious, and puts aside the feelings of the two countries, in fact, I also want to make him a friend. ”

Murong Feng knew that this was the words of the expulsion, and he also bowed down and said: "We can't do these things, we have to go back and report to my family, and then make a decision." What King Yong means, we understand, and we will bring it back to my family word for word. ”

Looking at the backs of the four Xianbei envoys retreating, Ma Chao sat on the throne and did not move. He knew that even though the Ma family was already so strong, his attitude towards this negotiation was extremely tough, but this negotiation still failed. The Xianbei people are not stupid, they know that Cao Wei is using them, and they know that the Ma family is also using them. All they think about is the lesser of two evils.

However, Ma Chao will not give them this opportunity. He has already subdued three of the alien races of Wuhu Chaohua, this Xianbei one, and he will not let it go no matter what-history, it needs to be changed, Wuhu can chaos, why can't Huaxia expand its territory in turn?
