In the Deyang Hall, the Ma family's civil and military forces stood solemnly and magnificently.
Although they did not deliberately intimidate, the solemn and majestic demeanor unintentionally revealed in the entire hall immediately made the Xianbei envoys feel shuddered.
There were four envoys coming this time, representing the four tribes of Xianbei in central China.
Except for the Tuoba tribe who surrendered to the Ma family and the Budu root tribe who secretly communicated with the Ma family.
These four people respectively represent the Kebineng tribe, the Mijia tribe, the Suli tribe and the Jueji tribe.
This lineup also convinced Ma Chao that Zhang Liao and Tian Yu said that the Xianbei clan still has strong cohesion.
The leader of the four is called Murong Feng.
Murong is a noble surname in the Xianbei tribe.
It is recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Xianbei Biography, that the Murong family came from the medieval period and were descendants of the tribal leader Gao Xin.
After establishing the Xianbei Kingdom, he said that he admired the two ways of heaven and earth, following the appearance of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, so he took Murong as his surname. , called Murong.
And this Murong Feng is even more famous in history, known as the first warrior of Xianbei.
He joined the army at the age of fifteen, made countless military exploits, and rode across the desert in all directions.
Later, he became a general under Tan Shihuai, King of Xianbei, and made great military exploits for Tan Shihuai to unify all Xianbei tribes.
After the death of Tan Shihuai, the new king of Xianbei and the great talents Lian Wuxiong Lie took control of Xianbei, causing the tribes to fight incessantly.
Murong Feng was dissatisfied with He Lian's extravagance and had many conflicts with He Lian.
Subsequently, Xianbei disintegrated into three parts: Eastern, Central and Western.
Murong Feng, the famous commander-in-chief of Xianbei, joined Ke Bineng.
It was precisely because of the support of the Murong Yi clan that Kebi Neng was able to win many battles with Tuoba Ying with less and became invincible within three years.
Ma Chao quietly took a look at Murong Feng and realized that the man was in his forties.
He seemed to be no different from a Han Chinese, especially since he spoke Chinese quite fluently and it was effortless to communicate with him.
However, he couldn't say a few words to Ma Chao, so he chatted a few words with the three people around him.
Ma Chao knew that he was translating Chinese, but he couldn't help but wonder whether Han Gugu knew Xianbei dialect.
If he didn't, he wouldn't have had time to learn it.
After saying a few polite words, the Xianbei envoy got to the point.
Murong Feng's position was very clear.
On behalf of the two major Xianbei tribes, the Central and Western Xianbei tribes, he agreed to cooperate with the Ma family, allowing the Ma family to sell them grain, silk, and porcelain.
It's best to have weapons.
Then, they promised not to send troops to the Han region during the period of trade in order to achieve harmony between the two ethnic groups.
Ma Chao laughed directly after hearing Murong Feng's words.
If the Xianbei clan had proposed such a condition three years ago, Ma Chao would have agreed without hesitation.
It may even give Xianbei many preferential conditions.
But now and then, after knowing the differences between the Xianbei tribe and the Qiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan tribes, Ma Chao did not recognize the Xianbei race's promise that having milk means being a mother.
Because the Ma family occupies one-half of the vast land of the Han Dynasty, they have abundant soldiers and food, and prosperous commerce.
It is different from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the recent Gongsun Zan.
Back then, they couldn't make the foreigners surrender because they didn't have strong commercial ties or arrogant force.
Ma Chao has these, so at this moment, he will only choose to make the race he does not trust surrender and enter the court as a hostage.
Therefore, although he looked at Ma Chao with a smile on his face, he was actually angry at Xianbei's ignorance of current affairs: "The Ma family will never agree to such conditions.
Your coming here is just a courtesy notice. .
If you two troops don’t comply, the Ma family will merge with the two armies of Zhou and Youzhou. , will make a big push to defeat the two of you.
Don't think that you can escape thousands of miles with good horses.
The Ma family started with Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and now they have Bingzhou Langqi, Youyan Jingqi and Baima Yicong.
If If you are confident that you can outrun the Ma family's war horses, you can give it a bold try."
As soon as these words came out, the three Xianbei envoys including Murong Feng were stunned.
They did not expect that Ma Chao had no intention of negotiating at all and actually issued the ultimatum with such a tough attitude.
The three Xianbei envoys immediately broke out in cold sweat, but Murong Feng had a look of hidden anger on his face and took a step forward, about to explode.

But when Ma Chao was already one step ahead of him, he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Anyone who goes against the power of my Ma family will be punished no matter how far away he is."
The metallic sound rumbled throughout the entire Deyang Hall.
When the Ma family's civil and military officials heard these heroic words, they all felt a surge of pride in their chests, and the blood in their veins seemed to boil.
In particular, some brave and skilled generals looked at the four Xianbei envoys in the palace like hungry wolves looking at delicious lambs.
The sudden change in the powerful aura caused the three Xianbei in the palace to tremble all over.
Murong Feng's face was extremely ugly.
He was so embarrassed that he spoke out bluntly: "Your Highness King Yong, please don't try to deceive me.
Xianbei doesn't understand Han affairs.
Your Ma family is currently at war with Jiangdong Sun Ce, and Wei King Cao Cao will send troops to Yingchuan in the near future."
At this point, Murong Feng stopped abruptly.
He suddenly looked up and saw the smile appearing on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth.
He regretted it endlessly: he had fallen into a trap.
Sure enough, Ma Chao then slowly sat back on his throne, and when he spoke again, his tone was quite calm and polite: "You Xianbei people know a lot, but General Murong, do you really think that King Cao Cao of Wei will send troops to help you?
Xianbei?"
"This" Murong Feng pondered, the hesitation on his face could not be concealed.
The other three envoys looked at Murong Feng with shame and annoyance, which made Murong Feng even more upset.
"If Cao Cao had the strength, he would have sent out troops with Sun Ce to attack the Ma family.
If you really know about the struggle between the Ma family and the Cao family, you will know that when the Ma family only occupied the three states of Liang, Yong, and Si, they repeatedly Confront Cao Cao.
But when did Cao Cao get a good deal from the Ma family?
Now my Ma family is dominating the seven states of the Han Dynasty, with a cloud of famous generals and a rain of advisers.
The soldiers on the front lines of each state are heavily armed, and they have repeatedly conducted military exercises on the border of the Cao family.
The Cao family can Fight back half way" After saying this, Ma Chao smiled at Murong Feng like a close friend, extremely cordial.
Pointing to his head, he finally said: "Think about it, if Cao Cao was really powerful, why would he take the initiative to look for you?"
"Yes, yes" Murong Feng had been forced into a corner at this time and had no power to fight back, but it seemed that he had a bottom line before he came here and did not dare to cross it no matter what.
He immediately changed his tone and said: "Everyone says, Yong Wang Xiong is a powerful man who regards the world as one family.
No matter Qiang, Hu or barbarians, they are all subjects of the Ma family, and they can all live in harmony regardless of their relative status.
Are these just lies?"
"Of course not."
"Why is King Yong so aggressive towards my Xianbei clan?"
"Because I implement this method with a premise that all those who serve me as the master of the Ma family can treat each other like this.
For those who do not submit to the Ma family, you can look at the former Tieqiang League and the current Wuhuan building.
Wu Yan and other tribes, or Tuoba Division, General Murong can also take a look."
"The Tuoba dog thief is really a shame to me, Xianbei."
Murong Feng roared immediately when he mentioned the Tuoba tribe.
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it extremely: wouldn't it be wrong to humiliate the Tuoba tribe like this in the main hall of the suzerain country of the Tuoba tribe?
From this, Murong Feng quickly tried to save himself: "King Yong, that Tuoba Part One is my Xianbei subject no matter what.
If you support him to attack our Xianbei tribe, you are interfering in our Xianbei internal affairs.
This cannot be justified."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Chao waved his hand to stop.
By this point in the conversation, it was basically just talking nonsense.
Ma Chao's time was precious, and naturally he was not in the mood to rub elbows with him.
He replied directly: "I won't talk to you about this matter.
The negotiation ends here today.
You can step back and discuss it some more.
You can spend more time in Chang'an City."

God, look at the scenery of my Ma family.
When I go back, I will send an envoy to follow you.
Mr.
Ke Bineng is fair and prestigious.
Regardless of the relationship between the two countries, I actually want to make him a friend."
Murong Feng knew that this was a way of expelling guests, so he bowed and said: "We can't be the masters of these matters.
We have to go back and report them to my master before making a decision.
We understand what King Yong means, and we will understand every word."
I brought it back to my lord."
Looking at the retreating figures of the four Xianbei envoys, Ma Chao sat motionless on the throne.
He knew that even though the Ma family was so powerful and he was extremely tough in this negotiation, the negotiation still failed.
The Xianbei people are not fools.
They know that Cao Wei is using them, and they also know that the Ma family is also using them.
All they think about is the lesser of two evils.
However, Ma Chao will not give them this opportunity.
He has already subdued three of the foreign tribes that have invaded China.
The Xianbei tribe is a history that he will not let go no matter what.
It needs to be changed.
Wuhu can invade China, so why can’t China in turn expand its borders and embrace Haina:
