Chapter 1277: Samhan Annexed

In the vast sea to the south of the peninsula, the last Xianbei people struggled in vain in the sea, facing the most ferocious predators in the sea, they had no power to resist, they were bitten, devoured, not even a single bone slag remained, and the entire sea on the south coast was completely stained red with blood.

This is a gluttonous feast for sharks, and it is also the last elegy for the Xianbei people, Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei and Duanbu Xianbei escaped after thousands of miles, and finally perished in the waters south of the peninsula.

Despite Liu Yinge's order to kill, Luo Shang and Yan Xun stood on the cliff on the coast, looking at the shocking scene in the sea, and still secretly palpitated.

Xianbei people's crimes are monstrous, and if they end up like this, they will naturally be unhappy with retribution, and they will take the blame.

After Ma Xi, the king of Ma Han, was killed, the Ma Han people soon made Ma Ji, the son of Ma Xi, the king of Xinchen. Ma Xi had a total of five sons, four of whom were in Muzhi at the time and died at the hands of the Xianbei rebels, and only the third son, Ma Ji, was sent to Chenhan at that time, so he survived. Afterwards, the Mahan people welcomed Ma Kei back to China and became king.

Because the Han army was meritorious in chasing and killing the Xianbei people this time, the Ma Han people were still very grateful to the Han army, and there was a strict inquiry to mediate from it, after the Xinchen King Ma Ji ascended the throne, he called Ji Han a tribute, and declared Ma Han to be a subject of Ji Han from now on.

Yan Xun had previously served as the Taishou of Obifang County, which was adjacent to Samhan. Samhan was located in a wild area, but they had always maintained close trade relations with the Central Plains Dynasty, which was very popular in the region for ironware, bronze, silk and other items, and the Samhan people exported precious stones, ginseng, furs and other items.

During his tenure as the leader of the Taishou, Yan Xun did not use military intimidation, but intensified trade, further allowing the Samhan people to penetrate deep into the interior to conduct trade, and at the same time giving the Samhan merchants the greatest convenience to facilitate their exchanges.

Therefore, the relationship between Yan Xun and the Sanhan people has been maintained well, until he was later transferred to Liaoxi, and he had no contact with the Sanhan people.

Because of this, the Han army was able to quickly enter the territory of Ma Han, quickly caught up with and annihilated the Xianbei people, and the most powerful Ma Han among the three Han was the first to surrender, which still has a positive significance for Liu Yin's unification of the three Hans.

However, Ma Han was willing to surrender, but Chen Han and Ben Han were unwilling to surrender easily, after all, Chen Han and Ben Han were not involved in this turmoil, and it was very difficult for Chen Han and Ben Han, who had always pursued independence, to suddenly become a vassal state of Ji Han.

Although both Chenhan and Benhan had only twelve city-states, even if the two of them combined, they were less than half of Mahan's, but the long-term war with Goguryeo also allowed Chenhan and Benhan to cultivate a tradition of fierce folk customs, and it was obviously not so easy for the Han army to surrender without a fight.

In this regard, the generals of the Han army have asked for orders and asked to go on a crusade, these barbarians have not seen the strength of the military force of the Ji Han Dynasty, so let them see and understand, and if they are not satisfied, they will be beaten until they are served.

However, Liu Yin obviously has his own considerations, compared to clearing the northern border troubles with heavy hands, he is much more tolerant of these Yi tribes on the Korean Peninsula, after all, from the perspective of long history, the nations and kingdoms born on the Korean Peninsula have not posed much threat to the Central Plains Dynasty, even if it is Goguryeo, it is just a nuisance to the Liaodong region, they have not even crossed the Liao River, so naturally they can't talk about attacking the Central Plains.

Moreover, Sanhan is located in the south of the peninsula and has always been an agricultural tribe, such a nation has more than enough self-defense and is powerless to expand, Liu Yin originally had no intention of paying attention to it, but in order to chase down the remnants of Xianbei and came here, then Liu Yin still wanted to do something.

Of course, there is no need to kill them all, the best way is to submit to Ji Han like Ma Han, become a vassal state of Ji Han, and symbolically give some tribute to the dynasty every year, in principle, the Han army will not be stationed in Ma Han, and Ma Han basically remains independent.

Chen Han and Ben Han did not surrender, and Liu Yin was not prepared to use force to solve the problem, although the use of force is simple and rude, it can solve the problem in a very short time, but the use of force will inevitably rely on bloodshed, and the contradictions between the great nations will be hated, if they can be forced to submit by some milder means, Liu Yin is still not ready to use force easily.

Yan Xun suggested to Liu Yin that he should hold a grand enthronement ceremony for the new Chen Wang Ma Ji, and invite Chen Han and Ben Han to participate, so that the Han army could be displayed at the celebration, so as to deter the people of Chen Han and Ben Han.

After all, Chen Han and Ben Han have not dealt with the Han army, and their understanding of the Han army is still at the stage of the Goguryeo people.

Liu Yin agreed to Yan Xun's suggestion, and in the name of King Chen, Ma Ji, he launched an invitation to King Chen Han and King Ben Han.

King Jin is not only the king of Ma Han, but also the co-lord of the three Koreas, but the loose tribal alliance of the three Koreas, the king of Chen does not have absolute control over Chen Han and Benhan, Chen Han and Benhan take the king of Ma Han as the co-master, one is that Ma Han is relatively strong, and the other is the need to jointly deal with the invasion of the Goguryeo.

The new King Tatsu succeeded to the throne, and it was impossible for Tatsuhan and Benhan to ignore it, and in the face of the invitation, they both sent prince-level figures to participate in the celebration.

On the day of the celebration, in addition to the enthronement ceremony of King Chen's Ma Kei, the most eye-catching thing is the parade of the Han army, when the Han army marched around the country of Muzhi one after another cavalry phalanx and infantry phalanx, its mighty and majestic military might, seeing that the envoys of Chenhan and Benhan were fighting in a double-strand battle, trembling, they knew very well that such a powerful army, if they conquered their country, it could be said that their country could be destroyed in a moment.

After the end of the celebration, the envoys of Chenhan and Benhan immediately returned to China, and within a few days, the king of Chenhan and Benhan personally rushed to the country of Muzhi and handed over the letter of surrender, indicating that Chenhan and Benhan were willing to belong to the Han from now on, and called the ministers to pay tribute, and never rebelled.

Obviously, Yan Xun's suggestion played a considerable role, and after seeing the strength of the Han army, Chen Han and Ben Han immediately surrendered to avoid the disaster of losing the country.

Sanhan was attached, Goguryeo and Xianbei were destroyed, it seemed that the Han army's expedition had come to a successful end, and all the soldiers rejoiced, waiting for the triumph of the class, but no one knew, Liu Yin's eyes were cast on the southeast sea.
