Two days later, Yan Xing took a thousand cavalry to Hedong and Xihe counties to recruit Huns soldiers, and went to Bei to accompany them.
Two days later, the handsome commanders of the three major tribes of Xianbei in the west arrived in Chang'an with their envoys.
Zhang Ji arranged for these people to stay in the post house.
The people from the Bronze Mirror Division had already set their sights on them.
There were countless pairs of eyes watching their every move in the darkness.
This time, the leaders of the three major Xianbei tribes in the west came to pay tribute.
It was a helpless move.
As the power of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions was unprecedentedly enhanced, the Western Regions Protectorate's threat to the major Xianbei tribes in the north and west became more and more serious.
This is not only reflected in the military aspect, but also has great curbs in the economic aspect.
Just some time ago, Shi Fu, the Protector-General of the Western Regions, ordered to block the trade routes from the Western Xianbei to various countries in the Western Regions, and prohibited the furs, kumiss, cheese, cattle, sheep, and horses from the Western Xianbei from entering the various countries in the Western Regions for sale.
The Xianbei people are nomadic and do not farm.
If they encounter a food shortage, they must sell their hoards of furs, kumiss, cheese, and excess cattle, sheep, and horses in exchange for food and other living materials to survive the winter.
However, Now the capital of the Western Regions The three major Xianbei tribes in the west couldn't stand what the Hufu did.
They had no living supplies.
They could eat whatever they wanted.
They couldn't drink milk or eat meat every day.
They would get tired of eating too much.
Besides, meat was limited, so they could only buy grain.
So you can eat longer.
Now all the countries in the Western Regions are under the control of the Western Regions Protectorate.
The three major tribes of Xianbei in the west are not strong.
If they want to fight against the Western Regions Protectorate, there is not much chance of winning.
In this situation, they can only compromise and come to Chang'an to pay homage.
Pay tribute, hoping to gain support from Chang'an.
It was not Liu Cheng who first went to meet the powerful commanders of the three major Xianbei tribes in the west.
He sent Zhang Ji to contact them.
In terms of diplomacy, Zhang Ji's ability could be said to be second to none in the DPRK.
The purpose of Zhang Ji's meeting with the powerful commanders of the three major Xianbei tribes in the west was naturally to find out the real purpose of their coming to Chang'an City to pay tribute, and then to negotiate with them.
The two parties reached an agreement in private.
Only in this way can they enter the Weiyang Palace.
He met the emperor and announced the emperor's decision to the civil and military officials of the court in the court hall, and the three great commanders expressed their acceptance, so that nothing would go wrong.
If there is no discussion in advance, no agreement, and there is a quarrel in the court, it will be ridiculous.
After all, Emperor Liu Bian is not a very reliable person.
If he says something inappropriate at that time, it will not only be embarrassing.
The emperor, and even the entire Han Dynasty.
In a room in the post house, Zhang Ji sat opposite the three handsome men and looked at them.
The three of them also looked at each other.
Apart from the four of them, there was no one else in the room.
Zhidao Luoluo first spoke out: "Master Zhang, we want to see the Duke Protector of the Country."
Zhang Ji took the wine bottle and said, "I'm sorry, you three.
The Protector is a bit busy these days and can't spare time to meet with these three handsome men.
If anything happens to the three handsome men, you can tell me, Mr.
Zhang, If Zhang can take charge, it will naturally be solved here.
If Zhang cannot take charge, then report it to the Lord Protector."
The three great commanders looked at each other, and Rilu said: "Master Zhang, I don't believe you don't know the purpose of our coming.

The Western Region Protectorate ordered to close the trade routes, so that our goods cannot enter the countries of the Western Region for sale, and also prevent us from selling.
Without being able to purchase grain and daily necessities from the countries in the Western Regions, is the Han Dynasty trying to kill us?"
Zhang Ji smiled, took a sip of wine and said: "Rilu Haoshuai, everything has its cause and effect.
After Tan Shihuai died more than ten years ago, Xianbei's east and west split into three parts.
You western Xianbei people Incited Che Shi Hou's country to send troops to attack Che Shi's former country and killed hundreds of soldiers under our command Wu Ji.
This debt has never been settled with you.
Do you think our Han Dynasty will forget our hatred casually?
My hundreds of soldiers cannot be in vain. die" The three major tribes were silent.
This matter had been going on for more than ten years.
They thought that the Han Dynasty court did not know about it.
After all, it was the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
All parts of the Central Plains were in chaos, and the court was also in chaos.
Many The yamen agencies are all overstaffed and don't do much serious work.
They didn't expect anyone to remember this.
Yanliyou raised his head and said to Zhang Ji: "Master Zhang, I admit that I sent people to do this.
I apologized to the Han Dynasty.
At that time, I had just taken over the tribe and needed to do something to consolidate my position.
There were already captains under my command.
Ya give it to me I was opposed to this suggestion at the time, but Lobia did it behind my back, and asked Mr.
Zhang to report it to the Lord Protector and the Emperor.
I will send Lobia's head to those who died.
The Han soldiers asked for forgiveness.”
Zhang Ji looked at Yanliyou and said, "I will report your attitude to the Lord Protector of your intention.
I also know that I want us to open up trade and allow you to sell goods to various countries in the Western Region and purchase grain and Living supplies are not impossible, but the big man has the conditions."
The conditions proposed by the Han Dynasty did not surprise the three great commanders, and Luo Luo said: "I also ask Lord Zhang to propose it.
As long as we can do it, we will never postpone it."
Zhang Ji played with the tea cup in his hand and said: "I heard that the central Tuoba Xianbei has grown stronger in recent years.
It not only expanded southward, but also continued to expand westward, seriously compressing the living space of the western Xianbei people.
The imperial court intends to Tuoba Xianbei is suppressing it and wants to invite you, the three major tribes of the western Xianbei, to form an alliance.
I don’t know what you think.”
Rilu Deduction said in surprise: "Master Zhang, you said that the imperial court wanted to deal with Tuoba Xianbei.
Is this true?"
"Tuoba Xianbei is becoming more and more unruly.
We must show them something powerful.
This matter must be true.
The protector of the country is discussing countermeasures with the court ministers.
Which of the three heroes has been attacked by Tuoba Xianbei?"
"My unit was attacked by Tuoba Xianbei" "So does my department."
"My department has also been attacked"
What Zhang Ji didn't expect from the three people's answers was that all three of their tribes had been invaded by Tuoba Xianbei, but the strength of their individual tribes was no match for Tuoba Xianbei.
The three of them were still on guard against each other and failed to form an alliance.
Let’s deal with Tuoba Xianbei together.
Zhang now felt confident and asked, "The imperial court plans to unite your three tribes to deal with Tuoba Xianbei.
I don't know what you think."
Japanese law deduction said: "If it is hosted by the Han Dynasty court, our department is willing to participate."

Yanliyou also said: "My department is also willing to participate."
Of course, Zhi Tao and Luo Luo would not stand behind others: "My troops can also participate, but I don't know how many troops the Han Dynasty will send.
How many troops will we send to attack Tuoba Xianbei?"
Zhang Ji said: "The three heroes should also know that our dynasty is not very stable now, and there are many internal problems, especially the Kwantung princes who do not obey the court's orders.
We must use heavy troops to defend these princes, so we temporarily We don’t have enough strength to directly send troops to attack Tuoba Xianbei, but our government can station up to 20,000 troops south of Yinshan Mountain to contain some of Tuoba Xianbei’s troops.
To directly send troops to attack Tuoba Xianbei, we need to rely on your three major tribes in the west.”
The three great commanders were not stupid, and they said directly: "Master Zhang, are you treating us like three-year-old children by doing this?
You want to unite us to fight Tuoba Xianbei, but you don't send troops, so let us send troops. , what’s the point?”
Rilu Deyan and Yanliyou also said: "Yes, the Han Dynasty is using us as spearmen."
Zhang Ji was not panicked, he said: "I have just said that because our court wants to suppress the civil strife, we do not have the strength to directly send troops, but we can garrison 20,000 troops south of Yinshan Mountain.
This can contain at least 10,000 Tuoba Xianbei."
As for the cavalry, if we don’t send troops, it’s not because we don’t have troops, but because we can’t bear the consequences of sending troops.
Huge military expenditures.
Let the three of you send troops, and our country can provide some support in terms of supplies.
This is also a contribution.
In addition to agreeing to order the Western Region Protectorate to open up trade routes and allow you to trade in the Western Regions, our country can also I will sell you some grain, ironware, tea, and salt at low prices.
In addition, you must understand that the threat from Tuoba Xianbei is not only against us, but also against your three major tribes in the west.
If Tuoba Xianbei wants to start a war, they will definitely attack you first and unify the tribes of Mobei Xianbei. , and then you will go south to attack my big man, so you are the most It's dangerous, can't you even see this?
And I believe that if your three tribes can unite, and with the material support of my big man, you will definitely be able to defeat and weaken Tuoba Xianbei.
If you can If you are cruel, you will definitely be able to annex Tuoba Xianbei and occupy the central grassland."
After Zhang said this, he said in a deep voice: "The Protector of the Country has put down his words and asked me to tell the three heroes that in the process of attacking Tuoba Xianbei, the three of you have achieved the greatest results, Protector of the Country."
The Guild wrote to the emperor to confer him the title of King of Xianbei.
The imperial court will support him in unifying the Mobei grassland.
You three do not need to reply to me now and can continue to consider it.
But I have to remind you that you are not the only ones the imperial court can unite with.
We are also the three major tribes of Xianbei in the east.
"United objects" The three handsome men looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.
Rilu said: "Okay, Mr.
Zhang, please go back and report to the Lord Protector.
We agree."
Zhang Ji nodded and said: "That's very good, but we also have a few requirements.
I hope you can agree: First, you must send protons to Chang'an within a month after returning.
The best way to show your determination is to send your eldest son."
Send it to Chang'an; secondly, you can divide it yourself You can also send troops together, but I suggest that you join forces and send troops together, so that your strength together will be stronger than that of Tuoba Xianbei; thirdly, troops must be sent before next autumn.
If you break the contract, the Han court will take necessary measures measures to impose sanctions on you”:
