Chapter 323
"Isn't it?" Kabu asked rhetorically. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There is an old saying in the Central Plains, called a thief shouting to catch a thief! I don't know if you've ever heard of it. Liu Yuanzhi asked rhetorically.
Kabu replied, "Lord Liu, please speak." ”
"It means that this thief has stolen something from other people, but he is shouting about the thief everywhere, trying to cover up his despicable deeds." Liu Yuanzhi glanced at Mudu, and then said to Kabu: "At the beginning of this year, you Qiang and Xiongnu invaded the border of our Zhao State through Lao Ya Mountain, killed my people, washed blood in the clouds, and plundered all the way!" Uninvited is a thief! This truth, Wanhu should understand, right? ”
Kabu's face was pale, he glanced at Mudu, and both of them were speechless.
"Could it be that in the eyes of you Qiang people, when the robbers enter the house, shouldn't they resist? The robber killed your wife and daughter, and you shouldn't take revenge, right? The more Liu Yuanzhi spoke, the louder he became, and some people were embarrassed by his impassioned remarks.
Liu Yuanzhi cleared his throat and continued: "So today, things are like this, who is the cause?" Is it me Zhao Guo begging you to rob us! No! You are the ones who started the trouble! Wanhu, what do you think! ”
"But you also killed 10,000 of our Qiang warriors! Even let my chief suffer such an insult! This account has been settled! Kabu replied.
"No, no, no! Ten thousand households are wrong! Liu Yuanzhi waved his hand and said: "Regarding these so-called consequences, I can only send you four words, and I will be cocooned and bound myself!" ”
"You ......." Kabu was very displeased.
When Ka'b and the others heard this, they became angry, and some of them even glared angrily and drew their swords at each other.
Although Liu Yuanzhi is powerful, he is a literati after all, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little cowardly in his heart, he swallowed his saliva, and pretended to be calm and looked at Kabu.
Shi Min didn't panic at all, he still sat calmly, drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and shouted: "Mare's milk wine is really spicy!" ”
Seeing Shi Min so calm, everyone felt a little strange, Shi Min put down the wine bowl and said, "Wanhu, just say it, you don't have to do it, right?" Ignore it, then say a word, admit it, and be annoyed and angry, but it's a loss of bearing! ”
Shi Min said, the right hand holding the wine bowl suddenly exerted force, and the silver wine bowl was instantly pinched and completely deformed.
"I'm sorry, it's a little stronger!" Shi Min smiled and threw the deformed wine bowl on the table.
Kabu looked at Mudu, only to see Mudu raise his hand to everyone and signal to put the guy away, and everyone stopped.
"As we all know, the Zhao State and the Qiang people have never had any grudges, presumably before, the leader of Mudu was also instigated by the Huns." Shi Min looked at Kabu and asked rhetorically: "Wanhu, everyone, do you really think that the Huns will call you brothers?" ”
"Naturally, the Xiongnu will not have good intentions, and the Zhao State will not have its own plans?" Kabu asked rhetorically.
"Absolutely!" Shi Min replied bluntly.
"Since this is the case, then dare to ask Gongzi, why do we Qiang people want to attach ourselves to you? Bow down to you? ”
"For you Qiang to continue to exist in this world! Is this reason enough? Shi Min looked at Kabu squarely, and his smile was full of contempt.
Kabu looked at him coldly, frowned, and asked rhetorically, "You threaten us?" ”
"Definitely!" Liu Yuanzhi took over and said, "Childe, this is not a threat, but a reminder of your situation!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"As I said before, the Qiang people are currently in an embarrassing situation, they have neither the strength to compete for the world, nor the strength to ensure the peace of one party, and they are not dependent on others. It is a well-known fact that the Xiongnu are bent on entering the Central Plains, but do not expect that your submission will be rewarded. Liu Yuanzhi said, turned sideways slightly, looked at Mudu, and asked, "The leader of Mudu must have a deep understanding!" I heard Min Gongzi say that when he fought with the Xiongnu against my Zhao army at the beginning of the year, Shan Yu of the Xiongnu seemed to have been handing over the most dangerous things to you to do, right? Hehe, anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the eyes of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, you Qiang people are their slaves! Isn't it? On the other hand, look at our Majesty! Not only did the grace of heaven send the leader of Mudu back, but also did his best to help the leader of Mudu regain his position. ”
"What Master Liu said is relatively pleasant, let me say a few words that are not popular but reasonable." Shi Min smiled slightly, and said to Kabu: "Wanhu knows, if you didn't turn back halfway last night, I'm afraid that at this moment, you and your subordinates have become ghosts!" The Huns are definitely still on your territory now, they support Sangduo, but it is also for their own ambitions, it doesn't matter who is the leader, the important thing is that this Qiang leader can obediently listen to them! Because a single Xiongnu is not capable of capturing the Central Plains, if the Qiang people can listen to their command, then the matter of sending them to death can be done by you, what do you think? ”
Kabu grimaced, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "That's why Sanduo's behavior is unpopular!" ”
"Haha! Come on, Lord Wanhu! You didn't see what happened in the Golden Dome last night! Would you like to ask your sister, Mrs. Rouge? Half of the credit for Sandor's failure is due to my Zhao Guo! Shi Min suddenly raised his voice, stood up and said: "And today, we in Zhao State don't need the Qiang people to die for us, surrender does not mean being enslaved!" ”
"And what do you want? Nagon? Ka'b asked.
"The Central Plains is vast, and we will covet your tribute?"
"Childe, with all due respect, you don't have to slap your swollen face and become fat, as far as I know, although the Central Plains is a good place, your emperor is cruel and unkind, and now the Zhao State is also full of mourning, compared to my Qiang people, it is not necessarily much better." Kabu said.
"Wanhu, you can eat things indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense, our majesty can't take your turn to talk nonsense!" Liu Yuanzhi accused.
"But what is the situation in Zhao Guo, we still know very well in our hearts! You sit on the Central Plains, but you are far less powerful than the Han Dynasty back then, why do you want us to surrender? ”
"With the knives in our hands!" Shi Min said, quickly pulled out the short knife on his waist, and slammed into the table in front of him.
"Who doesn't have a knife? Can your knife kill? Not to be outdone, Kabu drew his saber and swung it vigorously, only to hear a "clang" and a corner of the table was cut off.
Mu Du, who was sitting in the middle, couldn't help but be nervous, for fear that the two sides would be tense and start fighting if they didn't agree with each other.
"Hehe, the knife in your hand can only chop wood and cut meat, while the knife in my hand is used to kill!" Shi Min sneered.
"What do you mean?"
"On that day, I attacked the Huns at night, killing more than 10,000 people, and then rushed thousands of miles to attack the men and horses of the Mudu chief, almost annihilating his subordinates, and I lost no more than 1,000 people." Shi Min paused, glanced at everyone, and said, "Wanhu, did you say that your knife is the same as mine?" ”
Shi Min's words were very embarrassing for everyone present, although the Qiang people were ten thousand unconvinced, they had nothing to refute, because the strong combat effectiveness shown by Shi Min's subordinates last night made them feel palpitations when they thought about it.
At this time, the curtain of the big tent was opened, and everyone looked at it, and it was Mrs. Rouge.
"It's the tiger father who has no dog son! Min Gongzi's bravery is not inferior to Ling Zun back then! Mrs. Rouge walked in and looked at Shi Min and said with a smile.
Shi Min arched his hand slightly and said, "Madame!" ”
"In this case, if our Qiang people don't bow their heads again, it seems that they don't know how to lift up!" Mrs. Rouge said and sat down next to Mudu.
"Madame is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go! To be able to have such an insight! Let Liu admire! Liu Yuanzhi pretended to flatter, but Shi Min on the side had no change in his face, calmly waiting for Mrs. Rouge to finish speaking.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Yuanzhi's words fell, Mrs. Rouge waved her hand and said, "Lord Liu, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet!" ”
Liu Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Madame, what else is there, it's okay to say it directly!" ”
"Since the Huns are on our territory, and Gongzi's men and horses are the strongest force in the world, why don't you use the heads of those 3,000 Huns as the price for Zhao to subdue us?"
"Madam, is that true?" Shi Min asked calmly.
"Seriously!"
"Leader Mudu, can you agree?" Shi Min asked again.
Mu Du looked at Rouge and Kabu, and both of them nodded in approval, so Mu Du nodded as well.
