Chapter 344: Tian Pengzu sent an envoy

Regardless of the country or dynasty, most wars will hurt civilians, and in many cases, the mortality rate of civilians is higher than that of soldiers on both sides of the war. It is a pity that many people in power did not care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people, not only at that time, but even history books did not pay much attention to the people who died in the war.

In many cases, a war can be described in detail and magnificence in the history books, but only a few words about the deaths and injuries of the people have been mentioned, and they have not even been mentioned. In many large-scale wars, there is not even a word about the people, but the truth hidden behind it ~ may be that the people have suffered heavy casualties.

In the book "China's War of Resistance Against Japan", it is said that "China ~ army casualties of more than 3.8 million, Chinese people sacrificed more than 20 million people, and the total number of Chinese ~ military and civilian casualties reached more than 35 million." This is a relatively conservative estimate, and some people estimate that the total loss of Chinese population during the Anti-Japanese War should be more than 50 million.

Therefore, there is a saying: "Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer." When the people are "prosperous", although the people are suffering, they are often not fatal, but when they are "dead", the people will lose their lives at any time. There are many reasons why people die in war, but one of the most common causes is that people are unable to leave their homeland and refuse to leave their homeland to escape the war.

Now the Second Division is facing such a problem: after more than half a month of mobilization work, most of the people have moved out of the predetermined combat zone, but there are still some people who refuse to leave no matter how much they persuade them. In this regard, Guan Xing has nothing to do, he has already done what he should do, he can't forcibly escort them away, and now that the time is pressing, and his command is short of manpower, it seems that he can only give up on them and let them ask for more blessings.

The Second Division made such a big move here, it couldn't be hidden from the Xianbei people, these areas were originally a place where Han and Hu people lived, and any disturbances could easily reach Kebi Neng's ears, and Guan Xing didn't expect to be able to hide it.

Since you can't hide it, it's better to tell the other party generously. So, Guan Xing sent an envoy to the Kebi Neng Department to try to contact, negotiate, and even surrender to them. There are a lot of skillful civil officials in the second division, that is, those who surrendered the envoys, along the way they have surrendered countless cities, and they are already skilled craftsmen in this way, but this time it is a Hu tribe that has to be surrendered, and it is still very difficult.

The key is not the skill of the language, but whether you can meet people and whether they are willing to listen to you. You must know that these Hu people are not so easy to talk to, when you meet a barbaric chief, you can send a Han official to ask for a meeting, and you may be clicked off before you see the chieftain of the family.

Therefore, it is necessary to send someone who is willing to meet to be the envoy, Guan Xing thinks about it, and at present, only Tian Pengzu is suitable. Tian Yu once fought a few battles with Kebi, and Kebi was able to suffer a lot of losses, while Xianbei people respect the strong, and although they also hate those who defeat them, they will give enough respect.

Originally, the best candidate was Tian Yu, but Tian Yu was not there, so he could only let Tian Pengzu go. Tian Pengzu is Tian Yu's son, Kebineng still gives some face, and sure enough, when he heard his subordinates report that it was Tian Yu's son who asked to see him, he agreed to meet without saying a word.

The Kebineng Tian Pengzu saw was a rough man in his forties and fifties, not too tall, about seven feet five inches (about 172cm) tall, wearing a wolfskin hat on his head, and a thick beard on his big face that had been sharpened by the wind and snow, but his two eyes were bright and powerful, and he squinted, which frightened Tian Pengzu's liver thumping.

Tian Pengzu and his appearance are exactly two extremes, Tian Pengzu is a scholar who looks a little weak on the outside. He looks white and clean, a bit like a girl, I really don't know how he takes care of his skin in this bitter cold border city.

Tian Pengzu is in his twenties, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, his family has a family history, there is an official Lao Tzu, naturally he has the conditions to receive a good education since he was a child, and he did not disappoint, he became a famous prodigy at a young age. When he grew up, he naturally became a local celebrity, he had good knowledge, eloquence was also okay, and he usually traveled extensively and talked boastfully with a group of young junjie.

He also studied with his father to deal with government affairs and military affairs, and he has some work experience, but after all, he is still too young, and his courage and strategy are far inferior to his old son Tian Yu. Especially in military talent, he is far inferior to Tian Yu, which may be related to his weakness since childhood, he does not like martial arts, but the ability of the Zongheng family to take advantage of his tongue has learned a few percent.

This time, Guan Xing asked him to send an envoy to the Kebi Neng Department, but he refused at first, and the reason was very simple, he was a little scared. After all, Kebineng and Tian Yu have been confronting each other for many years, they have been old opponents for many years, they have fought a lot of big and small battles, and the two sides are definitely not friendly.

What if these Hu people are unreasonable and see the son of the enemy, and kill themselves in the guts of evil? But the reason for such a shame is unspeakable. Moreover, Guan Xing strongly persuaded him to take on this important task, and he was righteous and moved out of the name of his Laozi Tian Yu, and encouraged him to go to Xianbei and establish immortal achievements, so that he could not only glorify his ancestors in the future, but also be famous in history.

Under the instigation of Guan Xing, Tian Pengzu finally moved, Guan Xing took out the holy decree and the runes, and asked him to take them, saying that with these things, he is the envoy of the Qincha State, representing the Han Dynasty and the emperor, and no one dares to be rude to him, otherwise he is provoking the entire Han Empire.

When several divisions came out to receive the territory of the Wei State, they all brought a bunch of holy decrees, all of which were in a unified format, first writing a bunch of nonsense, saying that the Han Dynasty would rise again and take back its homeland, and then say that it would surrender so-and-so, forgive his past sins of being thieves, re-reward new official positions, and so on.

Among them, so-and-so is the name of the surrenderee, which is temporarily blank, and every time each unit goes to a place, they fill in the name of the local magistrate, and this holy decree is fresh and hot. The generals will not accept the orders of the foreign monarchs, and these holy decrees are equivalent to giving the troops the space to do cheap ~ things.

Now Guan Xing took out this kind of holy decree that was originally to recruit Wei officials from the Han land, filled in the name of Kebineng, and recruited him as a Han official. Of course, such a holy decree is a bit unsuitable, Kebineng is not a Han official, and the territory he occupies cannot be regarded as Han land, and many of the words and tones spoken in this holy decree are not so applicable.

The negotiation with Kebineng is considered a diplomatic matter, and recruiting him can also be regarded as expanding the territory, and there should be a special holy decree, but now that the emperor is far away, and the time is pressing, it is impossible for Guan Xing to send people all the way to Xuchang to find the emperor to ask for a holy decree, so he has to temporarily use this formatted holy decree to fill the number.
