Chapter 226: Situation Response
The air seemed to be solidifying, and the barbarian leaders in the tent were very concerned about the information revealed in Qin Mi's words, some were happy, some were unwilling, some were paralyzed, and all kinds of expressions were staged.
Even the two Han officials who came to envoy with Qin Mi were frightened into a cold sweat because of his appropriate words, if not
Seeing that the situation seemed to be unfavorable to him, Du Kang shouted at Qin Mi: "The Han people are arrogant and untruthful, but can anyone testify that the Han army has arrived?" Even if the Han army has 100,000 people, the barbarians are not afraid! "What you negotiate by yourself is a momentum, although Du Kang has not studied the vertical and horizontal academics of the Han family, but this negotiation is similar to a neighborhood quarrel, relying on momentum, without momentum, even if you are reasonable, it is not as imposing as others.
Qin Mi glanced at the young barbarian general in front of him, saluted and asked, "Dare to ask who is under your feet?" ”
"Barbarian Du Kang, I've seen Mr. Qin."
"Why does Du Qushuai dare to say that my Han Heavenly Soldiers have not arrived, could it be that the barbarians have been monitoring my Han? If so, dare to ask all of you, where is the Han Barbarian Alliance? ”
Gong Su hurriedly replied: "Mr. cautiously, Ban Yuman and Han are both friends and neighbors, and after several oaths, how can they easily break the alliance?" ”
"Yu also thinks so, the pillar of the barbarian man, how can it be like this." Qin Mi followed the topic and nodded in response.
"Yes, today's envoy came, we don't know the etiquette, we can't go out of the camp to greet us, I hope you will try to forgive me." Gong Su replied respectfully.
In fact, Gong Su wanted to personally lead people out of the tent to greet him just now, after all, he had always agreed with the surrender of the Han in his heart, but most of the barbarian leaders in the tent were watching. Even the pro-Han Qu Shuai did not dare to take advantage of this time to go out of the camp. Because who knows how many people in the tent are really pro-Han or fake pro-Han, if the Han Dynasty can't suppress the barbarians this time, they who go out of the camp with Gong Su to welcome the Han will be the first to be retaliated, and many of these barbarian nobles at this time are torn between surrender and rebellion.
It is precisely because of this that Gong Su did not dare to leave the camp easily, otherwise who knew what would happen to him in the tent if he was not in this time. At first glance, Du Kang was determined to betray the Han, and if he was not there, Du Kang would bewitch again, even if it was only for a short time, there might be an accident, so he didn't bring people to greet him, because he had to monitor the movements of these suspicious barbarian leaders.
Seeing that another barbarian Qu Shuai was so polite, Qin Mi couldn't help but feel a lot of favor for him in his heart, and said with a smile: "I'm too worried, the Han and the barbarians are like a family, like brothers, how can they blame?" After a pause, Qin Mi thought about something and hurriedly asked, "Who is not satisfied?" Can you tell us? ”
"Contemptible Gong Su, I have seen Qin Wuguan Peng." Gong Su saluted and replied.
Qin Mi's eyes were stunned, and he understood that this person was the person he was looking for, and said with a smile on his face: "Mi has seen Mr. While speaking, Qin Mi thought about how to have a secret conversation with this pro-Han man, what happened inside the barbarians, and why there was an abnormality just after about a month of vows.
It's just that before he could think of a way, Du Kang said again: "If the Han envoy has nothing else to do, please leave, this is my barbaric matter, and it has nothing to do with the Han envoy." Du Kang knew that if he wanted to succeed at this time, he must not let Qin Mi stay in the barbarian camp for a long time, otherwise, without Qin Mi's words, most of those Qu Shuai leaders would definitely support the Han Dynasty, after all, the Han envoys can wander around your camp without fear of anything, which itself has already shown that the barbarians are not as good as the Han people, or the Han people are not afraid of the barbarians. Barbarian soldiers can not be afraid of death, but these barbarian nobles cannot, so as long as Qin Mi speaks everywhere at that time, no one knows how many barbarians will change their positions and allegiance.
"What Du Qushuai said is also wrong, how can the affairs of the barbarians have nothing to do with Han? The barbarians are Han people, and they have been subservient to the Han Dynasty for generations, and as a Han envoy, I can help the barbarians deal with things, how can it be irrelevant? Qin Mi replied in a positive voice, and then paused and asked, "I don't know what the leaders of the Qu Shuai are discussing today?" Could it be related to the gathering of thousands of barbarians in the camp? ”
"Nothing to do, nothing to do!"
"Today's intra-clan gathering is nothing like this!"
……
In an instant, under Qin Mi's words that were almost forcing the palace, some of the barbarian commanders in the middle tent hurriedly denied their thoughts, and at the same time avoided answering the process and reason of today's discussion. Just kidding, the Han people are here, so what is the rebellion? It's just a mess for nothing.
Only the barbarians like Du Kang, who were going to rebel to death, did not speak, and Du Kang, who was questioned rhetorically, did not speak at the moment, he was forced to be questioned by Qin Mi's sudden turn and had no choice, at this moment he did not grasp the support of most of the Qu Shuai nobles in the middle tent, how could he easily find out, acting at this time was not good for him.
"That's it!" Qin Mi bowed his head, his eyes lightly glanced at the surrounding barbarian leader Qu Shuai and smiled.
What followed was a politeness, and then Qin Mi said that he was ordered by Fuquan to come to investigate the reason for the gathering of Ban Yuman, and at the same time, he focused on saying that if the Ban Yu Barbarians did not disperse, he would not leave with a threatening lie.
However, although a lie is a lie, for the leader of the barbarian Qu Shuai, who has no channel to confirm it at the moment, they must be half-convinced, so they specially arranged a good camp for Qin Mi to rest. Of course, arranging the necessary surveillance is indispensable, and no one will completely believe the one-sided words of others, especially in this kind of matter of life and death.
Secretly, these Qu Shuai are sending people to constantly inquire about the news of the Han army, and at this moment, as long as it is confirmed that the Han people really have a large army coming, they will not hesitate to surrender to the Han Dynasty with Gong Su, as for Na Dukang, he should continue to flee if he should continue to escape. Of course, if Du Kang and the others also announced that they would no longer rebel, these people would also find a way to hide them, after all, they were from the same clan, like Du Kang or a member of the seven surnames of Ban Yu, how could they not care about the life or death of their own clansmen, like Du Kang and others fled before, it was not also due to the secret help of these Qu Shuai leaders.
However, not only was the leader of the barbarian Qu Shuai doing other things, but Qin Mi, who was being monitored, was not completely resting in the tent arranged by the barbarians. He took the initiative to send someone to inform Gong Su, saying that Fu Taishou had a message to hand over to him, hoping that he would come, and those barbarians naturally did not dare to let Gong Su go to Qin Mi's camp, so they could only agree.
In the depths of the night, Gong Su, who naively thought that Fuquan really had a message to him, entered Qin Mi's camp, but things were beyond his expectations, and after he asked for the message, Qin Mi's answer made him very speechless.
"Message? The Ming Mansion is not an illiterate person, when it comes to important matters, Mr. Epistle is enough, why do you need a message? Qin Mi whispered back, making sure that only he could hear the voices of the two of them clearly.
"What! You ......" Gong Su shouted a few words, and was stopped by Qin Mi.
I saw that at this moment, Qin Mi covered Gong Su's mouth with his hand, and said softly at the same time: "Shhh Sir, don't be loud, beware of the ears on the wall. With that, he looked in the direction of the tent, where there were many more shadows under the torches of the camp outside the night. Looking at the appearance of them standing straight, they looked like barbarians guarding the guards, but there were undoubtedly a lot of people, almost a few steps away, it stands to reason that even if Qin Mi is a Han envoy with a special identity, there should not be so many people, but at this time there are so many people outside the tent, it can only show one point, someone is listening to the wind.
With a few blinks in his eyes, Gong Su signaled that he understood, and then asked after Qin Mi let go, "That being the case, why is Mr. so crazy?" Just one word, Su Bilai also. ”
"No, can everyone outside the tent allow Mr. to come here?" Qin Mi glanced at the shadow swaying outside the tent, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"This ......" Gong Su paused for a moment and nodded, not knowing how to speak.
Indeed, now the neutral or rebellious Banyu Barbarian Qu Marshal outside the account are asking whether the Han army really came here, and if the future is the future, they are not afraid of the Han Dynasty; And if it comes, these people will definitely surrender. At this critical time, if there are no special circumstances, these people will definitely not let Qin Mi, who is the envoy of the Han Dynasty, have too much contact with the barbarians in the camp, after all, if the real situation of the Ban Yu Barbarians is chaotic and the differences are known to the Han people, what else can they do?
Among them, this is especially true of the barbarians who have always supported the rebellion, as evidenced by Du Kang, who is eavesdropping outside the camp at the moment, but no matter how much he pris up his ears to eavesdrop, he can't hear much sound. Gong Su could still hear a few words clearly at first, but gradually he couldn't hear it later, and Qin Mi couldn't hear the sound at the beginning, no matter how close he was, he couldn't hear it, as if Qin Mi was a mute.
Damn Han people, they must have expected that they would eavesdrop on themselves, so they specially guarded themselves like this. And the old man Gong Su, who really forgot who he was, and he was in the same stream with the Han people, could it be that I really can't fight the Han people? If it wasn't for the persuasion of this husband to surrender the previous time, and the clansmen were concerned about their families, how could they agree to surrender? At that time, there were only 20,000 Han troops in Nalangzhong County, how could they be the opponent of their barbarian army of tens of thousands.
Du Kang gritted his teeth and thought hatefully, seeing that he couldn't get any useful information at all, so he could only leave angrily, and there were a few people who left with him who didn't get the news. Outside the tent, it was suddenly much empty, but there were still people who did not give up standing outside the tent, but they were destined to get no clues.
"Now that the situation is unclear, Mi dare to ask Mr. to teach me what happened to Ban Yuman today?"
"Angel wait, and listen to Su Xi......"
In the tent, the conversation continued, and after Gong Su told Qin Mi all the internal situation in the Ban Yu Man, Qin Mi frowned, he didn't think that the inside of the Ban Yu Man was so chaotic, this matter was really tricky. Indeed, it seemed that the Han army persuaded Ban Yuman to solve the trouble, but the hidden contradictions in it still remain unresolved.
Since ancient times, when rebellions have occurred, most of them are people who are dissatisfied with the status quo and raise their arms, leading more ordinary people who would have been submissive, suppressed their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and allowed the ruler to exploit them to rebel together. In other words, without the existence of those who spearheaded the rebellion, there would have been no so-called rebellions and uprisings.
Xing, the people suffer, die, the people suffer, the so-called Xingyi soldiers have no way, but the Han feudal rulers are just trying to prove their legitimacy in winning the world. Because these leaders who raised the banner of rebellion, to put it bluntly, were themselves subjects of the original dynasty, they were just extremely uneasy factors among those subjects, and after eliminating these factors, how could the remaining subjects be exploited and oppressed, and they could not succeed in the face of public opinion brainwashing and the dynastic army, and the Celestial Empire in later generations would not be like this soon? This is the so-called long-term peace and stability, peace and prosperity, but how much darkness is hidden in it is only understood by some people who know the essence of the matter.
The previous surrender of the Ban Man, Fuquan was very tolerant of them, except for some of the great evils, not killing is not enough to establish authority, Fuquan is pardoned one by one, only people like Du Kang who refused to surrender to death, did not accept the Han army's recruitment and fled. Of course, even among those who surrendered, there were many people who only surrendered temporarily, after all, some people would forbear, bend and stretch, and they could come again as long as they kept their strength, while some people did not have such a heart.
The disadvantages of such a surrender After Du Kang and these people fled back to the Ban Yu barbarians, some of them surrendered, but they still wanted to rebel against the Han Dynasty in their hearts, and the Ban Yu barbarians took advantage of the situation to unite with them and conspired to rebel again. And this change of the Banyu barbarians, in the final analysis, is just a collision of power between the barbarians who want to live in peace and the barbarians who still have ambitions in their hearts.
It's just that even if you understand the reason for the abnormal behavior of the Ban Yu barbarians this time, there is no way to solve it, after all, under the circumstances at that time, it was difficult for the Han army to defeat the Ban Yu barbarians in a field battle. If you can't defeat them, you can only persuade them to surrender, and the consequence of persuasion is to endure the pardon of these barbarians who still have not surrendered in their hearts, otherwise if you destroy them, it will definitely make the hearts of those barbarians who sincerely surrender fearful, and eventually cause them to rebel instead of surrendering.
The rulers of all dynasties and dynasties are not as strong as the rebels, and the rulers will choose to compromise in the face of the rebels, compared with the destruction of their own rule, pardoning those people, giving them appropriate social status, and maintaining their own rule are much stronger than fighting hard but may be counterattacked. Otherwise, for these rulers, those who rebel should be exterminated, and if they do not slaughter these unstable factors, how can they ensure their long-term peace and stability? It is better to kill one to make an example, and it is better to kill the wrong one than to let it go.
Soon, Qin Mi thought about it, took pen and paper, wrote a letter in detail, wrote down the internal situation of Ban Yuman, and then handed the letter to Gong Su, and whispered in his ear to end the conversation between the two.
When Gong Su came out of Qin Mi's tent, there were immediately several commanders of the Barbarian Qu Commander, pretending to have just met Gong Su, and greeted him cordially. Then, he kept asking him what he had just done, hoping to get some useful information, but it was obvious that Gong Su was not a fool, how could he not know the thoughts of these people, but kept perfunctory them.
Finally, after dealing with the last leader of Qu Shuai, Gong Su returned to his camp tent, waited in the camp for a long time, and after confirming that no one was watching, he recruited his cronies and brute soldiers, handed him the letter in his arms, and said a few words to him.
It was late at night, and the bright moon in the sky obviously couldn't brighten everyone's eyes, and Gong Su's cronies had been out of the barbarian camp for a long time, and then they returned to the camp, but the letter was no longer on his body.
