Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 373 The Huns came out and Xianbei came

"Everyone is suffering, someone is late."

Mo Anjie did not come alone, but also brought many attendants, creating an extraordinary aura. Wherever he stood, he had a sense of magnanimity.

Seeing this posture, even Liu Yi, who was angry, had to restrain himself. He stared at Mo Anjie coldly and asked in a cold tone: "Who are you?"

"Someone serves Mo Anjie, the regular servant of the Central Committee, and Jin Zhengshi should know about it." Mo Anjie said, and asked all the followers to wait outside, and stepped into the room by himself. After looking around, he said in a heavy tone: "It's really hard here, everyone has worked hard, but since a certain family has come, they won't let a few suffer any more, and leave with a certain family. The emperor has asked Guanghan King to host a banquet to entertain you and the Xianbei envoy."

"Messenger from Xianbei?" Liu Yi frowned.

"It turns out it's Mr. Mo," Jin Zhun stepped forward with a smile on his face, "If it's hard, it's really hard. China's natural treasures are precious. Even the place where we are imprisoned, the furnishings inside are unique and unique. The yard is very quiet. If you can live in a place like this during your free time, it would be really enjoyable. It just takes a little longer, but..."

He rolled his eyes, came to Mo Anjie, and said in a deliberately loud voice: "Is this the way the Han court treats guests? It is said that the Central Plains is a country of etiquette. Is this how it treats envoys from afar?"

Mo Anjie said with a smile: "Jin Zhengshi is joking. Your Excellency, Liu Cong, inherited the position of Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan claimed to be a Han minister and said he wanted to guard the north mirror for the emperor. He always considered himself a subordinate of the vassal. I have also read history and know that Bingzhou, where the Xiongnu lived, is also a corner of the Central Plains, and the place where you all grew up is also the Central Plains. Is it possible that some of you still don’t know whether the Central Plains is a land of etiquette?"

"Huh?" Jin Zhun's expression changed slightly. He looked at Mo Anjie again and saw that the eunuch looked calm, without any anger or any intention of bullying.

Jin Zhun had stayed in Luoyang in the past, and had also met Mo Anjie with the Huns nobles. However, at that time, Mo Anjie was the companion of a prince, and Jin Zhun had a relatively low status among the nobles. The two of them could only meet each other. He didn't even say anything, and he didn't know the character of this eunuch. Later, when he heard that Liu Dai had ascended the throne, this eunuch also gained a lot of trust and now saw him coming, so he tried to test him. Unexpectedly, the other party's answer was reasonable and well-founded. There is integrity, just like a scholar-bureaucrat.

However, according to what this eunuch said, he wants to let us out.

After being under house arrest for several days, Jin Zhun felt a little panicked because he was not sure about the attitude of the New Han Dynasty.

The current situation is actually very strange.

Xinhan, who failed on the battlefield, was not worried about the reaction of the Huns. At most, the Huns envoys were angry and kept the situation unchanged. On the other hand, if the Xiongnu could not get a positive answer from Xinhan, when they returned, not only The envoys will be criticized and even be held responsible, and the fate of the entire Huns and Han Kingdom will become confusing.

Many of the reasons for this were analyzed by Chen Zhi and his friends, and discussed by the emperor and his ministers. They measured the comprehensive national strength of the New Han Dynasty from various angles, thinking about the Xiongnu's partial peace, and calculating the new Han Dynasty's Population resources, watching the tribal conflicts within the Xiongnu.

But in the final analysis, the key lies in one point——

If the two sides confront each other for a long time, the New Han Dynasty can persist, but the Xiongnu's foundation is not enough to support it.

"The Han court did not want to spend too much money, so it chose peace talks. After all, the Han people's territory was too big. In addition to the north, there were also northeast, northwest, southwest and other places to defend. It seemed that the force was huge, but in fact it was not easy to coordinate and take care of everything. But It is also relative, if the threat in a place is too prominent, they will definitely not care about preserving their strength and will attack with all their strength, so this peace negotiation is very important to the Han court, but it is also important to our clan, or even more important!"

Just as the New Han ministers thought, Jin Zhun had previously built momentum for the upcoming peace talks, but the New Han chose to beat them, while what Jin Zhun wanted to do was to show off and show some muscles. Because of this, he Only Liu Yi was allowed to act, because after all, Liu Yi's deputy envoy is still a prince, and he is qualified to make trouble, but he has room for change.

As a result, he met Chen Zhi, and the situation suddenly changed, and all the original plans were disrupted.

While under house arrest, Jin Zhun's thoughts changed one after another. At first, he thought it was just a formality, but Xinhan delayed the time for various reasons.

At first, Jin Zhun could still maintain a wait-and-see attitude, but after a few days, especially after hearing about the arrival of several Xianbei troops and the warm reception, he couldn't sit still.

You know, during the period of house arrest, Jin Zhun also contacted some people, on the one hand to collect information, and on the other hand to rely on connections to end the house arrest as soon as possible, including some forces that had always been in contact with the Huns.

The roots of these forces are in Xinhan, but their interests are spread all over the world. During the fierce battle on the northern front, they even leaked information to help the Xiongnu secretly and made profits from it.

But this time, even these forces warned Jin Zhun, telling them to give up as soon as they got along. Some of the DPRK and Chinese bureaucrats who proposed and advocated peace talks with the Xiongnu were the representatives of these forces in the DPRK, and they were also suffering unsatisfactory consequences. Little pressure. "If this group of people no longer supports our clan, then the benefits of this peace negotiation will be minimal. I indulge Beihai King in order to gain more benefits, not to cause trouble for myself. If the Han Dynasty changes its attitude , let the main warrior gain the upper hand and raise weapons again, that is not good news. Our lord is newly established, the foundation is unstable, and his prestige is not as good as those two kings. Even under the pressure of the Han court army, the tribes We have to unite, because the one who really has the authority to lead may not be our Lord!"

As a clan, if the one who benefits is not one of his own, it is a success for the clan, but a failure for his own power. Jin Zhun knows this very well, so he has long been willing to compromise, and now he cannot An Jie came to the door. He tried a few words, but the other party showed no intention of giving in. There was a faint hint of threat in his words. Jin Zhun certainly knew what to do.

"Since Mr. Mo said so, we have no choice but to obey, but..." He was still talking, but before he finished speaking, a lukewarm voice suddenly came from the side -

"I don't know, Tai Leling who gave orders rashly, how is it now?"

The person who spoke was none other than Liu Yi.

As soon as he said this, Jin Zhun secretly thought something was wrong and wanted to stop him. Unexpectedly, Mo Anjie said first: "Chen Taile has a heavy responsibility. While preparing the painting review, he also has to take care of the affairs of Honglu Temple. Recently, I even made friends with the envoys of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe, and often traveled with them to Luoyang, so I'm afraid they are drinking there at this time."

Jin Zhun and Liu Yi's expressions changed drastically.

Xianbei Tuoba tribe?
Tuoba Xianbei!

This Xianbei tribe was a formidable enemy to the Huns and Han Kingdom. The two sides were adjacent to each other, one in the south and the other in the north. From a geopolitical perspective, they were naturally hostile. Moreover, after Liu Yuan established the country, Tuoba Xianbei The connection with Xinhan has become closer and closer, and there have been many cooperations during this period.

Whenever the Xiongnu and Xinhan clashed with each other, Tuoba Xianbei often attacked the Xiongnu from the back, causing considerable losses every time. The two sides had deep grudges. Even in this battle in Northern Xinjiang, Tuoba Xianbei also took advantage of the situation. Although the Xiongnu defeated the Xinhan, they suffered a lot of losses in the north, and were taken advantage of by the Xianbei.

Even Liu Yi knew clearly the threat that such a force posed to the Xiongnu, and he also understood that Mo Anjie had a profound meaning when he said this name.

So Liu Yi stopped asking. Jin Zhizhi took a deep breath and cupped his hands and said: "I have been waiting here for a long time, but the military situation is so fierce that it can change in a moment. How can we delay it like this? Let's start peace talks as soon as possible. Otherwise, the military and civilians on both sides will not be able to feel at ease."

"The emperor thought so too, so he asked a certain family to take a few of them out as soon as possible." Mo Anjie said with a smile on his face.

But Liu Yi couldn't help but mutter in his heart, it had been a few days, and he still had the nerve to say it would be as soon as possible, but he already knew how powerful it was and didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he didn't express his thoughts to his mouth.

Mo Anjie then added: "The date for the meeting has also been set, right after the ceremony, and during the ceremony, several of you will still have to watch the ceremony."

As soon as he said this, Jin Zhun and Liu Yi looked at each other, their expressions getting weirder.

After Jin Zhun and Liu Yi packed up their belongings, called Shi Le and his entourage, and left the courtyard where they had lived for a few days. On the way back to the Baibang Pavilion, Liu Yi finally couldn't help but sneer: "I know how powerful the Han court is. However, they have the nerve to let us watch some grand ceremony. Isn’t this asking for trouble? Do you think you can humiliate us? The so-called prisoner presentation ceremony is simply not worthy of the name, because the winner is our clan, and the one or two generals they captured , It’s just some trash fish. If my father hadn’t had an accident, Han Ting wouldn’t be able to take advantage at all.”

"Perhaps they want to further suppress us. The house arrest these days is actually to make us understand their attitude. Since they have invited us to this ceremony, we must participate, but..." Jin Zhuan glanced at Liu Yi.

The latter immediately understood, frowned and said: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I won't say too much at that ceremony. Han'er in the Central Plains is the most shameless person. Normally, that's all. If you disturb me again at this time, , I’m afraid it’s really bad.”

"That's good." Jin Zhun nodded, knowing that he would be under house arrest for a few days. Although he was worried that the Han Dynasty would change its attitude, the Beihai King was also worried, and some knew whether to advance or retreat. However, it was hard to speak too bluntly, otherwise he would inevitably be resented by this person. , Jin Zhun added: "The key is not to let the Xianbei slaves take advantage. The Xianbei people will also watch this ceremony. If I offend the Han people and let people drive them away, I will give them an advantage in vain."

When he mentioned the Xianbei people, Liu Yi's expression changed slightly, and then he said contemptuously: "They are just a group of capricious barbarians. They just don't know who the Xianbei tribes sent here this time. If there is a chance, I will let them know." Get out of trouble!"

Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth again!
"And that Chen Zhi, I must make him look good!"
