Chapter 415: Slashing
The Chu envoy has left, and the Han envoy has also been blown away, but several leaders of the Burndang tribe are still in the tent of the Burndang King, and they are reluctant to leave.
What a great gift the envoy of Chu offered!
A hundred carts of porcelain, a hundred jars of fine wine, two hundred horses of Shu brocade, five hundred horses of silk, and a thousand horses of cotton cloth, in addition to five hundred horses, five hundred sets of armor, and five hundred sharp knives!
Even these tribal leaders had never seen so many good things.
The shiny porcelain, the mellow wine, the smooth brocade silk and the warm cotton cloth are all luxuries that they dream of, and as for the good horses, armor and those extremely sharp ring-headed knives, they can greatly enhance the military strength of the Burndang tribe, even if they are the king, they cannot be taken lightly.
Although the Han envoy also brought a lot of good things, it was far from the Chu envoy.
The king of Zaodang and the tribal leaders under him did not know that the Han envoy wanted to lobby the four Qiangdi tribes at the same time, and the gifts to each tribe would naturally be less, but Pang Yu only gave one family to the Zaodang tribe, and the weight was naturally heavy.
A tribal leader touched and touched the silk in front of him, and suddenly roared viciously: "King, the people of the Central Plains are so rich, but we are living a hard life here, it's really unfair, why don't you send troops to take Bashu?" The Han envoy said, as long as we take Bashu, there will be everything in this porcelain, silk, and wine, as well as women, hehe. ”
"Do you believe the words of the Han envoy? People are fooling you. The other tribal leader immediately retorted. The Great Chu State has a population of tens of millions, and there are four million strong men who can go to the battlefield alone, which is more than ten times the total population of our entire Jinchuan River Valley, and you still want to capture Bashu? Dream about it. ”
"But isn't the Chu State at war with the Han State? They can't divide their troops now. ”
"But what about after the war between the Chu State and the Han State? They casually stretched out their fingers and crushed us to death. ”
"Hey, Chu and Han are fighting, it's not certain who loses and who wins. Maybe if the Han State wins, the Chu State loses? ”
"Then the Han Kingdom will not let us go, do you think the Han envoy really has any good intentions? He's just taking advantage of us. ”
"Alright, don't fucking make any noise!" The king couldn't bear it anymore, and finally stopped the quarrel of several tribal leaders. "What's the noise? This king tells you that we can't afford to provoke the Han Kingdom, and we can't afford to provoke the Chu Kingdom either, so none of us will help anyone, and we will take the benefits given by the two families, and we will do nothing, that's all. ”

The camp of the envoys of the state of Chu and their entourage was arranged to the east of the court of the king of Shaodang.
One comes in. Pang Zheng couldn't wait to ask Pang Yu: "Uncle, is the matter done?" ”
"Nope." Pang Yu threw off his robe and sat down on the chief, and then said, "The king of Burndang is very cunning, he doesn't want to offend us, and he also doesn't want to make enemies with the Han Kingdom, so if we send troops to help the Burndang tribe destroy the other three families, it may not be a good thing, even if the Burndang tribe will not send troops directly." It is also very likely to lend the way to the Han army. ”
Pang Zheng turned his head to look at the map hanging on the screen, and his face suddenly changed slightly, the geographical location of Jinchuan is very important, if the Yaodang tribe unifies the entire Jinchuan and is bought by the Han State, then the Han army will be able to sneak attack Bashu through the Jinchuan River Valley, and vice versa. The Chu army was also able to sneak attack Longxi through the Jinchuan River Valley.
Pang Zheng said: "Uncle, what should I do now?" ”
"What should I do?" Pang Yu said, "Easy to do! Kill the Han envoy first. ”
"Kill the Han envoy?" Pang Zheng said, "I'm afraid it's not easy, our weapons, bows and arrows have been confiscated." ”
Pang Yu said abruptly: "Isn't Moon Shadow Sha, the youngest daughter of the king, going to compete with her son-in-law tonight?" When the time comes, you choose twenty samurai to participate. Won't you be able to get your weapons back? Then take advantage of the opportunity of the competition to test the riding and archery, and kill all the Han envoys and their entourage, especially the Han envoys, who must be killed! "...," Pang Zheng suddenly responded and took the order.

The garrison of the Han envoys and their entourage was arranged to the west of the court of the king of Shaodang.
When Pang Yu's uncle and nephew plotted to kill the Han envoy, the Han envoy was furious, he had just received the news that the Sword Tribe and the Wuge Tribe had already fought.
It doesn't matter if the sword and the Wuge tribe fight, but the plan of the Han envoy was disrupted, and it took him a lot of effort to persuade Wuge, the sword, and the dance to stay in the three, and then as long as the burning tribe is persuaded again, Qiang Di will be able to send troops, but at this juncture, the two major tribes of Wuge and the sword are fighting!
However, what made the Han envoy even more anxious was the sudden appearance of the Chu envoy and the ambiguous attitude of the king of Burndang, once the king of Burndang was bought by the envoy of Chu and fell to the state of Chu, then the tribe of Burndang would become a solid barrier in the west of the state of Chu, so that the plan to persuade Qiang to send troops to Bashu would immediately come to naught.
After thinking about it, the Han envoy felt that there was only one way, and that was to kill the envoy of Chu State!
As long as the envoy of the Chu State is killed, the king of Burndang will no longer have the idea of taking refuge in the Chu State, and the Burndang tribe can only follow the road of the Han Kingdom to the dark, this time, even if the sword and Wuge are both defeated, there are still two major tribes of Burndang and Wuliu and dozens of small tribes, and there is no problem in raising forty or fifty thousand cavalry.
At this point, the Han envoy and Pang Yu were heroes who saw something similar, and the Han envoy called the accompanying Han military captain to him and gave him an order.

It was finally dark, and the annual Sacred Tree Festival celebration of the Burning Dang tribe had finally begun.
On the river beach where the royal court is located, there are a few bonfires, especially the main bonfire in front of the king's tooth tent is burned very vigorously, and it lasts for a long time, for the nomadic people who live by water and grass in the Yaodang tribe, the bonfire has a very important significance, so there is generally a very strong fire worship complex.
The first part of the celebration is to worship the sacred tree, the king of Burndang and the tribal leaders of all sizes carry cattle, sheep and livestock into the sacred forest, under the auspices of the clan elders to worship the gods, praying for a better year next year, and the sacrifice is followed by a grand bonfire party, which is also invited by Chu envoys, Han envoys and retinues as honored guests.
On the main campfire in front of the tooth tent, more than a dozen fat sheep were already roasted to a golden brown.
The king of Burndang, more than a dozen leaders of his own tribe, dozens of vassal tribes and the envoys of Chu and Han sat around the main bonfire, Chu envoy Pang Yu smiled, and from time to time turned his head to laugh with the king or tribal leader, but the Han envoy had a gloomy expression, and whenever his eyes swept over Pang Yu's face, he would pass a trace of fierceness.
Soon, dozens of Qiang Yi Niang wearing animal skins and revealing clothes held a tray and sent a jar of wine up, and many tribal leaders would pinch or touch the fat buttocks of these little girls when they took over the wine jar, and Qiang Di Niang was not angry, and even looked back at those tribal leaders and threw a wink.
There is a tribal leader who is sexually oriented, and he actually chases after him, and drags Qiang Xiaoniang into the tent next to him in public, and the king and other tribal leaders laugh loudly, the border barbarians don't know what the king is after all, and the defense of men and women is extremely weak, and it is common to have sex in public, not to mention this?
In fact, nomadic tribes tend to have a strong sense of family and a weak sense of blood.
This is also determined by the living environment of the nomadic tribe, the nomadic tribe generally lives in pursuit of water and grass, in order to compete for the most fertile pasture, conflicts often break out between various tribes, even between different families of the same tribe, so the consumption of men is very large, in this case, the importance of men becomes inevitable.
Therefore, every newborn baby boy will be valued by the whole family and tribe, even if the child is not of his own family's bloodline, his status will not be affected in the slightest! …,
This tradition of nomads has continued in the Mongol period, the eldest son of the Mongol Khan Temujin is not his own son, but the blood of the enemy Murbeg, but Jochi's status has not been affected by any bloodline, and he was finally named the Golden Horde Khan, which is not to say how broad-minded Temujin is, but Temujin never felt that Jochi was any different from his other three sons, in Temujin's opinion, Jochi was born in his own tent by his woman, then he is his own son!
To get back to the point, when the bright moon rose in the sky, the bonfire party of the burning tribe finally entered.
The drunken King staggered to his feet, and the originally noisy camp fell silent.
"Thank you, the gods, for wine to drink, meat to eat, and for this wonderful bonfire......" The king of Burn opened his arms and sang the praises of the gods, and his tone suddenly turned high, "Then it's time for the lads and ladies to perform, dance and sing as much as you want, and go find your favorite lover." ”
"And the daughter of this king, the ...... of the Moon Shadow Sand" King Burndang suddenly looked back at the tent behind him, and said softly, "The most beautiful swan in the entire Jinchuan River Valley will also present her dance, the young men present, show your skills to defeat your competitors, and the stamens of the Moon Shadow Sand will bloom for you......"
Before the words fell, the entire river beach resounded with enthusiastic cheers.
In the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains, the moon shadow sand, who was dressed in full costume and took off the veil for the first time, also walked out of the cowhide tent and appeared next to the main campfire...... Is that the Moonshadow Sands?
I thought she was an extremely ugly little lady, but I didn't want to be so beautiful?!
Pang Zheng's heart was pounding, this little lady is going to be decided! She's the master's!
When Pang Zheng was dumbfounded, Moon Shadow Sha also suddenly looked back, and the eyes of the two of them met in the air for a moment, and a faint red glow couldn't help but unconsciously float on Moon Shadow Sha's pretty face.
