Chapter 394: Envoy to the Ministry of Literature


Spring, March, 196 AD.

A large number of Xianbei people live on the vast triangular grassland between Wuhou Sangshui and Raoleshui in the north of Liaodong.

This is a Xianbei tribe with Yuwen as the main surname.

Its king is named Suli, who is also the Yuwen tribe.

The leader of this group of Xianbei people is also called the Eastern Xianbei.

Suli's royal court was located in the later Chifeng area on the north bank of the Wuhou Sang River.

As the king of Xianbei in the east, his job was not easy.

Not only did he have to carefully deal with the Wuwan people in the south, he also had to be careful of the Han army in the west, which appeared from time to time.

Han army patrol cavalry on the border often crossed the border to attack small tribes and steal cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver property.

At this time, in the tent, Suli was listening to his ministers' report on the loss of cattle, sheep and horses that had frozen to death throughout the winter.

After listening, he waved his hand with no interest: "Okay, you go ahead and leave me alone for a while. " The captain who assisted Suli in handling tribal affairs did not leave.

He stroked his chest and saluted: "Khan, the Wuwan people sent people to urge us to send the offerings for the first half of the year quickly.

You see, we have frozen to death so many cattle and sheep this winter.

If horses are sent to the Karasuma people in the same quantity as before, at least half of our people will go hungry."

The eastern Xianbei people surrendered to the Wuwan people.

According to regulations, they had to pay tribute to the Wuwan people twice a year.

The tribute was a prescribed number of cattle, sheep, horses and furs, one in the first half of the year between March and April, and the other in the second half of the year.

Half a year between September and October.

Su Li felt a headache again.

He rubbed his temples and said, "In this case, let's give less this time and make up for it in the second half of the year.

You have to explain clearly to the Wuwan people the difficulties of our Xianbei people and give them the responsibility."

If you buy this person some benefits, you will definitely get this thing done, do you understand?"

The captain stroked his chest and agreed: "Yes, Khan" Su Li remembered something again and asked, "How are the people from Murong's department doing with Uzhumu?

Are they still honest?"

The captain replied: "Back to Khan, I haven't received any news about their disobedience yet.

In fact, I think Khan, you are taking too much risk by taking them in, and you also allocate pasture to them separately.

My subordinates suggest that Murong's troops separate us and tolerate our respective Only in this way can we better integrate them into our Yuwen Department.

There is also the bald boy from the Tuoba tribe.

The subordinates saw that this bald boy was an unruly person, so they left him in Murong.

Sooner or later, something will happen to the ministry, so I ask Khan to think twice."

Su Li said: "This Khan also knows that the risk of taking them in is very high, but after all, there are nearly 20,000 of them, and there are four to five thousand people who control the strings.

This is a force that cannot be ignored.

From the beginning, we They look too ugly when they are separated.

I plan to wait for a while before doing this.

As for the bald orphan, this person is really difficult to control.

What do you think should be done?"

The captain was about to suggest that Su Li kill the bald Pigu, when another big Xianbei man walked in from outside the tent.

This man took off his wolfskin hat, revealing his bald connex, wearing an animal skin cloak, and hanging around his waist.

Scimitar, stepped in and bent down to Su Li to caress his chest and reported: "Khan, I just received the news that an envoy from the Han Dynasty has crossed the border."

"The envoy of the Han Dynasty" Su Li stood up involuntarily.

He immediately asked: "How many people are there?"

This man was another captain under Su Li, who was in charge of the government affairs of the western tribes.

He replied: "There are more than two hundred people in total."

The captain of the eastern tribe frowned and said to Suli: "Khan, the size of this mission is not small."

Su Li nodded and told the captain of the western tribe: "Take some people to greet them in person, test the intentions of the Han Dynasty envoys, and try to find out their intentions."

"Yes, Khan" A Han Dynasty envoy set out from Yanmen County, first headed north, crossed the Yin Mountain, and then eastward through the vast Damu Desert.

After crossing the Ru River, it entered the territory of the Xianbei people in the east.

The person in charge of this mission was Mi Heng, who was the envoy.

Riding beside him was a fur trader who traveled around the curtain all year round.

This person served as the guide for this mission.

The guide introduced to Miheng: "Envoy, now that we have crossed this river, we have entered the territory of the Xianbei people of the Yuwen Department.

Suli Khan divided the Xianbei people under his hands into two parts, the east and the west.

Each faction A captain handles miscellaneous government affairs.

The territory of the western tribe we are entering now, the captain is called Yuwen Mona, and the captain of the eastern tribe is called Yuwen Guiyi."

Mi Heng asked: "You often do business in Damu.

Last year, did you hear that a group of Xianbei people fled into the territory of the Yuwen Department?"

The guide replied: "Of course I heard that when the Murong tribe fled into the Yuwen tribe, the villain's caravan happened to be among the Yuwen tribe.

Later, I saw that they were arranged by Suli Khan to go to Uzhumu in the north."

Mi Heng said: "This bald boy is really good at hiding.

He actually hid in Murong's department."

The guide smiled and said: "This is not surprising.

The Murong tribe itself is under the jurisdiction of Bald Pigu.

It is normal for him to escape to the Murong tribe."

The mission went east for another day, and a Xianbei cavalry of several hundred people appeared in sight.

The leader was Yuwen Mona, the captain of the western tribe.

He stopped his horse in front of Mi Heng, stroked his chest and bent down and said : "Angel of the Han Dynasty, I am Yuwen Mona, the western captain of Suli Khan's tent, and I have been ordered to come to welcome the angel and his entourage to the royal court."

Mi Heng returned his hand and said, "Thank you very much, Captain.

It will be much more convenient and safer for us if we have the Captain to guide us along the way.

If we don't have the Captain to lead the way and protect us, I would still be worried about whether we would be attacked."

What about the attack by horse thieves?”

Yuwen Mona was not stupid.

He heard that there was something else in Mi Heng's words and said quickly: "Don't worry, angels.

Since they have entered the realm of my Yuwen Department, the angels and their followers will never be attacked.

Please " The two sides immediately joined forces, with Yuwen's cavalry leading the way, followed by Miheng's entourage and escort cavalry.

When camping that night, everyone gathered around the fire to eat and drink.

Yuwen Mona accidentally asked: "I wonder if the imperial envoy led a team to our Yuwen Department this time.

Is there any edict issued by the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty?"

Mi Heng looked at Yuwen Mona with a smile and said: "There must be an edict, but I don't know what the content is.

I will know when your royal court reads it to Suli Khan."

This was like saying nothing.

Yu Wenmona tried a few more words, but Mi Heng always changed the topic away, leaving him helpless.

After walking for another two days, the envoy team finally arrived at the royal court of the Yuwen Department.

Suli led the noble leaders of the Yuwen Department to greet them outside the camp.

Dozens of sheep had been taken aside by the herdsmen for slaughter.

"Su Li of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Xianbei welcomes the angel of the Han Dynasty."

Su Li took a few steps forward, stopped, bent down and caressed his chest to salute Mi Heng who was riding his horse over.

Mi Heng jumped off his horse and said with a smile: "Suli Khan is too polite.

Please also ask Suli Khan to introduce these generals and leaders to this envoy."

Su Li immediately introduced the generals and leaders under his command, and then invited Mi Heng and his entourage to rest in the camp.

When they came to the tent, the guests and the host sat down.

Surili ordered people to bring wine and mutton, and said to Miheng and the main accompanying officials: "There is no good food on our grassland.

I only need this kumiss and mutton to entertain the angels.

Please" Mi Heng nodded and enjoyed wine and mutton with the accompanying officials.

The wine had a sour smell and the meat had a strong fishy smell.

To be honest, Mi Heng and the accompanying officials were not very used to eating, but they have been eating it these days.

I have long been tired of eating dry food, but now I can improve the taste, which is not bad.

After eating the food and drinking the wine, Suli asked someone to bring bowls of vegetable soup cooked with wild vegetables.

According to Suli, eating meat frequently can also make you sick easily, so you should eat some wild vegetables and drink some wild vegetable soup.

Tea was not popular at this time, and only a few people used tea leaves to make tea.

They liked its bitter taste and fragrance.

If these barbarians wanted to take vitamins, they could only collect wild vegetables and cook them.

After drinking a bowl of bitter wild vegetable soup, Su Li asked: "I don't know why the angel led his team here this time."

Mi Heng's face became serious and he said: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has an edict for Suli Khan, please ask the Khan to accept the edict."

Su Li quickly led his subordinates and tribal leaders to hold their chests and bow down on one knee.

Mi Heng read out the emperor's edict in a loud voice.

The content of the edict was so obscure that Su Li and others were confused.

Fortunately, Miheng brought a businessman who often came here to do business as a guide and translator.

After the edict was translated by the guide, Su Li and others finally understood it, but the expressions of all the Xianbei leaders in the tent changed.

Suli respectfully accepted the order and said to Miheng: "This Khan must follow the emperor's decree and escort all the Bald Pigu and his tribe to the predetermined place within the specified time.

This Khan has arranged it."

Camp, please let the angels go and have a rest.”

"Okay, okay, I'll rest here for one night, and I'll start back tomorrow.

Khan doesn't have to be in a hurry, as long as he delivers the person within the stipulated time."

After Miheng and others went to the tent to rest, Suli and the generals discussed how to deal with the matter in the tent.

Su Li looked at everyone in the tent and asked: "Let's talk about it, how to deal with this matter, whether to hand it over or not."

Su Li's confidant Yuwen Jianming was a good friend of Bald Pigu.

He stood up and said: "Khan, I don't think we can hand Bald Pigu and his tribe to the Han Dynasty, not to mention that the Han Dynasty is now divided.

The princes do not respect the imperial court, do not take the imperial court seriously, and are bald and lonely.

Since we have surrendered to the Khan with his followers, the Khan should protect them.

If we hand over the Bald Pigu and his followers, how will the world view the Khan and how will the Han Dynasty of our Yuwen Department view our inability now?

We don’t need to be afraid of them no matter what they do to us”:
