Chapter 204 [Dragon City Conference: Secret Battle]

(Dameng is really strong, another double-click reward!) Thank! Same as thank you ufgw, love and hate)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Karasuma and Xianbei were more backward ethnic groups than the Xiongnu, and after they were conquered by the Xiongnu, the Qiē system referred to the Xiongnu. For example, the New Year meeting will worship the ancestral spirit, the May conference Dragon City, the August conference will be in the forest, and so on.

The Xiongnu held a small meeting in the first month of the year every year, and the leaders of all sizes gathered in the royal court to kill animals and worship their ancestors.

Every May, the big and small chiefs gather in Longcheng (Shan Yu Wangting) to hold a ministerial (tribal chief, referred to as minister) level meeting. And by Shan Yu to lead the leaders to sacrifice ancestors, grasslands, ghosts and gods. This is the most important and solemn sacrificial activity of the Xiongnu.

Every August, the General Assembly is in full swing, and this time it belongs to the Executive Assembly. The main purpose is to calculate the number of people and livestock, and to carry out administrative matters such as prison sentences.

Among the three conferences, the most important is the Dragon City Conference. Its purpose is not only to worship the ancestral spirits, but more importantly, to participate in the Dragon City Conference is to express the submission of the tribal forces to Shan Yu. In other words, it's easy to say that you're divisive, and everyone will understand if I don't come to your Dragon City conference.

You can still be absent from the August Forest Conference, but in the May Dragon City Conference, as long as your tribe still recognizes me as Shan Yu, you must come to participate!

And the Karasuma people this time the Dragon City Conference, even more important dà meaning - Zuogu Liwang Lou Ban will officially ascend to the throne and become Shan Yu. Therefore, this time, all the ministries of Karasuma, including Yanmen Karasuma, who was far away in the state, came to congratulate. The rest of the Xianbei tribal leaders in western Liaoning, Liaodong vassal states, Shanggu, Daijun and Pinggang and other places all personally led people to congratulate, which can be said to be a gathering of people.

Dragon City Conference in May. There is no strict rule on which day it is, as long as it is within May, the first day of the new year or the thirtieth day of the new year. This time, it was originally scheduled for late May, but due to heavy rains, it was rescheduled to the last day of May, May 30.

And Ma Han and his entourage also rushed to Liucheng on this last day.

Liucheng, in the Western Han Dynasty, was the seat of the western governor, and Linyu in the north, Yangle in the east, and Husu in the south, forming a cross-shaped stable fulcrum. It was used to defend against the Huns. However, since the Xiongnu fled north, Karasuma and Xianbei rose, quickly filled the power vacuum of the Huns, and the Han Dynasty was mainly dependent, occasionally pulling cold and snatching a handful of runs, and the threat to the Han Dynasty was far less than that of the Xiongnu period.

By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, two of the four cities were directly abolished, and Liucheng was the place where the attached Karasuma people built tents, and Yangle became the seat of Liaoxi County. Originally, Liaoxi Taishou's duty was to supervise the Karasuma people nearby. so as not to make it difficult to control. As a result, it was okay in the early stage, but since the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, Karasuma is strong, and it is difficult to control it in western Liao. Eventually reduced to spectators.

The Liucheng that Ma Han saw was better than the Husu City he saw in Su Muyan at the beginning, at least the city walls were still there, and there were traces of recent repairs. Although the area around the city is also dirty and messy. Cattle, horses, sheep, dogs, dung, flies, flies and gadflies fly everywhere, but there is still the appearance of a city.

Among all the guests. Ma Han is undoubtedly the highest-level, coupled with his personal relationship with Lou Ban, as a result, Lou Ban, Ban Dun and a group of Karasuma and Xianbei Hao chiefs all joined forces to greet him. There are really a lot of familiar faces among them.

Karasuma Shan Yu Lou Ban, Zuo Gu Liwang Badun; The Lord of the Xianbei Gandhi Department helped Luo Han, and his son returned to the mud; Xianbei Kebineng's younger brother, the central Xianbei Lord Tho Luohou (Kebineng has abdicated due to serious injuries); Liaodong's vassal state Xianbei Hao chieftain Ji Ji and his son Shama Khan; Liaoxi Xianbei Lord Su Li and his younger brother Zuo Dawei Cheng Lu Gui; The three counties of Karasuma of Liaoxi Karasuma King Su Muyan, Daijun Karasuma Khan Lu King Wuyan, Shanggu Karasuma King Nanlou, as well as Yanmen Karasuma leader Gu Jin, Southern Xiongnu Left Bone Marquis and so on.

Among them, there are those who met for the first time, such as the Xianbei Jiji of the Liaodong vassal state, the Shanggu Karasuma Nanlou, and the left bone of the Southern Xiongnu; There are quite a lot of friendships, such as Lou Ban, Su Li, Cheng Lugui, etc.; There are more suspicions and even grudges, such as Bang Dun, Gu Jin, Fu Luo Han, and Leaking to the Mud...... Not to mention the three of Tho Luohou, Su Muyan, and Wuyan, from the moment they saw Ma Han, their eyes began to breathe fire.

Ma Han was as casual as the leader of the beards, and selectively ignored the gazes of several hatreds.

Ma Han's gaze was first placed on a nobleman who was about thirty years old, richly dressed, with a white hat and a white feather, not tall, with a majestic figure, unusually long arms, and bearded hair, and shaped like a lion. This person's facial features seem to be very rough, but a pair of eyes are so thin that they can't be seen, and they also squint from time to time, giving people a gloomy feeling.

Karasuma people have just stepped down from power.

After three years of not seeing, this person is even more imposing, and the pair of thick and ape-like giant arms that once impressed Ma Han are still full of power.

This is the second meeting between Ma Han and Badun. The last time we met, it was at the foot of Xiaozhi Mountain, on the shore of the water, and the overwhelming advantage of Badun released a giant beast, forcing Ma Han to fight with his bare hands. It was one of the few life-threatening incidents that Ma Han had encountered since he came to the Three Kingdoms.

There are incidents of killing in the distance, there are resentments of robbing relatives, there are flames of burning soldiers in the near future, and the hatred between Ma Han and Bang Dun can be said to be getting deeper and deeper.

Even though the two of them wanted to stab each other in their hearts, when they met, they were still smiling, and they bent down and bowed - the last time they met, he was still sitting on horseback and looking down on this young man, but when they met again after three years, he had to bow his head in front of this person, which was really ......

Ma Han is the Taishou of Liaodong, and his status is equivalent to that of the captain of the Karasuma school. The Karasuma people don't care how to call the king and the hegemon, in the final analysis, it has to be under the control of the captain of the great Han to protect Karasuma. Since Xing Ju's death, the captain of the Gokarsuma has been vacant, and the central political situation of the Han Dynasty is under the control of Li and Guo, which is more chaotic than the border. And it's not a good errand, three Captain Gokarasuma have died in office, and no one wants to take over this dead position.

If the captain of the Karasuma does not come, Ma Han, the Liaodong Taishou, is the supreme envoy representing the Han Dynasty.

Ma Han accepted the salute safely, and it was time for you to bend down in front of me. At this time, Ma Han keenly felt that there was a Karasuma man in a white robe, about thirty years old, with strong muscles and bones, and a coiled beard, when he bowed to him, his eyes occasionally raised, and there was a deep hatred that could not be concealed.

This man is very faceless, does he have an enmity against me?

Ma Hanzheng was secretly vigilant, and the voice of Lou Ban came from his ears: "This is Wang Ji......, the right captain of the Tuli Ministry."

There is no need to use a hammer to ring the drum, and after only half a sentence from the building class, Ma Han has already realized that it is the brother of Wang Tong, the left commander of the Tuli Department who jointly invaded the White Wolf City and died in the fire, which is no wonder.

Lou Ban was very dissatisfied with the fact that Cong Brother Badun took the opportunity of going to Liaodong to celebrate Gongsun Du, and brazenly dispatched 2,000 Liucheng Karasuma cavalry to join the Liaodong Army and Su Fuyan to attack White Wolf City. In particular, the fiasco of this battle and the refusal to return the horses aroused the resentment of Lou Ban and his supporters.

In the battle of the White Wolf Battalion, he not only lost an important henchman, but also suffered a great loss in strength, which greatly affected his reputation in the tribe. It can be said that following the robbery incident, Badun's prestige has dropped again and again, and has fallen to a new low. That would be if there were no polls, otherwise it is estimated that the approval rating of Bunton would have dropped by at least a few tens of percentage points. And this qiē is caused by this person named Ma Hu, if it is said that Badun just swallowed his anger like this, it is really a waste of the domineering spirit of "a hundred barbarians" in history.

Wang Ji, Wu Yan, Su Muyan, Tho Luo Hou......

Ma Han raised his eyes and saw that among this group of people, there were several who had a grudge against him for killing his brother and son, and none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, all of them were "ministerial" figures. It seems that this Dragon City Conference may not be peaceful.

Among the many wealthy chiefs, the one that attracted the most attention from Ma Han was not Bang Dun or Lou Ban, but the Kamiya Karasuma King Nanlou. Not only because this person is Lou Ban's father-in-law, but also because Nanlou is the most powerful and has the most accounts among the three counties of Karasuma, but his ambition is the weakest.

As early as the Qiu Liju era, at that time, Liucheng Karasuma was more than 5,000; Su Fuyan is more than a thousand falls; Wuyan is the weakest, with more than 800 falls; And the difficult buildings in the upper valley are more than 8,000 falls! In other words, the most powerful is actually not Qiu Liju, who is the chief photographer of the three kings, but one of the three kings. But in the end, it was Qiu Liju who ascended to the position of Karasuma Danyu. According to the concept of the Karasuma people respecting the strong, it is somewhat strange. Perhaps it can only be attributed to the fact that Nanlou's personal courage is not as good as Qiu Liju's, and the clan's combat strength is not as good as Liucheng Karasuma Tuqi.

But no matter what, Nanlou's strength is more than the sum of the three Karasuma, and whoever he supports, he will definitely be able to take the throne - this is the real reason why Badun is willing to abdicate.

Under the friendly gaze of the crowd, or hateful, or cold, the horse warrior and a group of wolves rode into Liucheng from being surrounded by them.

Along the way, whether it is Karasuma people or Xianbei people, whether it is civilians, slaves or soldiers, they see the "horse" character banner of Liaodong Taishou and the unique blood-pupiled wolf's head, all of them stand by the side of the road in horror, looking at the flag and worshipping. Occasionally, there are sometimes high and sometimes low calls for "Kunbtulu".

Ma Han noticed that there were a large number of Han Chinese slaves in this base camp of the Karasuma people. When they saw the banner of the Han family, these Han slaves were very excited and wanted to hug them, but they were all driven away by the Karasuma cavalry. Ma Han's intelligence shows that these Han slaves not only had a large number of Han people looted by Qiu Liju in the early years when he was raiding the four prefectures of Qing, You, He, and Hebei, but also Wuyan and Su Muyan recently helped Youzhou's anti-Gongsun army and Yuan Shaojun's army to attack Gongsun Zhan and received thousands of "feedback".

Ma Han nodded secretly, he had been looking for a new source of troops for his White Wolf Battalion, so that the strength of the White Wolf Army could reach 20,000. In this way, Fang has the strength to compete with Youzhou and Jizhou.

The 300,000 displaced people in Liaodong are productive forces, ensuring the logistics of the White Wolf Army, and the real White Wolf soldiers need not hoe-wielding farmers, but fearless warriors with deep hatred and blood and tears.

The high-quality source of the White Wolf Army has been found. (To be continued......)
