Chapter 347: Tricky and Clumsy
Regarding Tian Pengzu's words, Kebineng couldn't refute them. Although what Tian Pengzu said was a bit exaggerated, it was basically based on facts. Kebi couldn't do it, so he had to perform the great shift of the universe and change the topic again:
"Hmph, what does Guan Xing have to do with me if this kid is not powerful? Why should we dwell on this boring topic any longer. Let's get down to business. We, the Xianbei tribe and his river, do not interfere with the water of the well, is he going to attack us for no reason? If he really wants to attack us, even if he lets us come, we Xianbei people are not so easy to bully. ”
Tian Pengzu thought to himself, who wants to discuss this kind of boring topic with you, it's not that you provoked this topic first, and you kept pestering it. He said:
"General Guan Xiao has no intention of attacking you, but he has the great trust of His Majesty to subdue the homeland of the Han Dynasty and revive the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, so he has come here thousands of miles away. South of the Great Wall is the territory of my Great Han. Of course, if you don't want to pay tribute, please retreat to the north of the Great Wall. The Great Wall he was referring to was, of course, the Outer Great Wall.
Tian Pengzu made this request to Kirby, thinking that he was very remarkable. His idea was that if Kebi could really agree to withdraw from the north of the Great Wall, then he would be able to pick up the land for nothing, and he would be considered to have expanded his territory. That's a lot of work! Maybe he can be crowned a marquis because of this.
But he didn't know! If Liu Hou heard what he said today, he would have to peel his skin. There's nothing wrong with you expanding your territory, but you can't demarcate the national border privately, who told you that the north of the Great Wall is not the territory of the Han Dynasty? Who gave you this power to give up your claim to the land north of the Great Wall?
Liu Hou would be unhappy when he heard this, and Kebi would be even more unhappy when he heard it. His own tribe has occupied this territory, and he has multiplied in this place for a long time, and he will leave as soon as he says. This place is protected by the Great Wall on all sides, and this is simply a huge city, and you can find such a safe place there.
Besides, the steppes have spheres of influence, and each tribe has their fixed range of activities, if they leave this place, where can they go? If he rashly enters the north of the Great Wall, he will inevitably clash with other tribes, which means war, and if he wants to have a foothold, he must defeat the original owners of those places and seize their territory.
Since they are all going to fight, what is the difference between fighting with those tribes and fighting with the Han army? Therefore, Tian Pengzu's somewhat threatening words had no effect on him at all, but instead aroused his anger.
Kebi Neng patted the case in front of him and shouted: "Tian Gongzi, I will face you as Tian Gong's son, and I will treat you kindly, but I didn't expect you to threaten me, do you think I Kebi can be so easy to bully?" Guan Xing wants me to pay tribute, so it depends on whether he has the ability? If he dares to do so, we will fight with the strength of our whole clan. ”
Tian Pengzu was secretly frightened, how could this person say that he would turn his face? Did I say something wrong to offend him? "Oops, forgot the purpose of this trip." Tian Pengzu suddenly came to his senses, the purpose of his coming here was to paralyze Kebineng, so that he would not be suspicious of the relocation of the people, not to provoke a war between the two clans, and now this situation may be about to start a fight between the two sides, which is contrary to his own purpose.
To find a way to redeem his mistakes, Tian Pengzu thought about it, the expression on his face changed uncertainly, Kebi could look at him, but he sneered in his heart and didn't say a word.
After a long time, Tian Pengzu laughed out loud to cover up his embarrassment, and said: "My lord is angry, it seems that my lord has misunderstood Tian's meaning, General Guan Xiao came for the purpose of peaceful coexistence, and there is no malice at all, you see that he has received many cities along the way, most of them are received peacefully, and there are very few cases of using force."
General Guan Xiao sent me this time to have a good talk with the adults and see how to solve this problem. My lord, didn't you pay tribute to the Wei State? Now that the Wei State has been beaten away, it's nothing for you to change the object of tribute, right? Other things are still business as usual, the object of tribute is replaced by our Han Emperor, which will not have any impact on you, and please agree to Tian, so that Tian can go back to pay the errand. ”
"Humph! You also said that there was no malice, so why did you move away a lot of people outside the city during this time? Aren't you preparing for a big war? Kirby Neng asked.
"It seems that the adults really misunderstood, General Guan Xiao's people found a mineral deposit in Fanyang some time ago, and you also know that the Central Plains has been in war for many years, and the population is sparse, so there is no one to mine, so General Guan Xiao paid to hire miners in various places.
As you know, my lord, the climate in our place is cold, and it is difficult to grow crops, so it is a bitter cold place. It is very difficult for the people to make a living here, and everyone heard that they could get a high salary to go to Fanyang to mine, so they all rushed to go, so there were a little more people who moved over, and it was definitely not as the adults thought, because they were going to go to war, so they moved the people. ”
Kebineng snorted twice, and was very dissatisfied with his words in his heart, Tian Pengzu's words were okay to deceive a 3-year-old child, but for an old man like him, it didn't play a role at all.
Speaking of which, in fact, there was nothing to say, Kebineng didn't say much, drove Tian Pengzu out, and began to actively prepare for the war. If Tian Pengzu knew that his envoy not only could not dispel Ke Bineng's doubts, but instead made a foolish mistake to make it more certain of the Han army's bad intentions, he would definitely regret it to death.
The encounter at the root of Budu has spread throughout the grassland, arousing the vigilance of the tribes of the grassland, and so many unusual things have happened in the vicinity during this time, all signs indicate that the Han army seems to be going to make a big move.
Now that this Tian Pengzu has come to say a bunch of unintelligible words, the situation is even more suspicious, and Kebineng's decades of experience in struggle tell him that great danger is approaching. This is an intuition, but it is also the result of a series of fuzzy processes by the brain based on its own experience and knowledge. The owner of the brain may not be aware of the process of this calculation, but the final result may actually be very well-founded.
Kebineng had similar intuition several times, almost all of which worked, and saved his life several times, so he was very confident in his own intuition. He thought that God had blessed him and given him a keen intuition, but he did not know that his mind had unconsciously analyzed the information he had entered, and if he wanted to be grateful, he should actually be grateful for his own experience and knowledge.
According to the analysis results output of his brain, that is, his so-called intuition, he had a sense of crisis that the mountain rain was about to come, and this time he also chose to trust his own feelings, so he decisively issued a war mobilization order and began to gather troops to actively prevent the attack of the Han army.
