After sitting cross-legged on the ground, Samoko said to Wang Hongyan, "If Ziya is joking, how can a meat-eater like Master Mi come out to greet me?"
After Shamoko sat on the ground and finished speaking in an angry voice, he picked up his big palm like a cattail leaf fan and rubbed the back of his head like a stone mill.
He seemed to be relieving his own itch, but also seemed to be covering up the doubts in his heart.
After getting along for more than ten days, not only did Wang Hong regard Shamoko as a good friend, but Shamoko also regarded Wang Hong, who had never looked down upon him, as his friend.
Shamoko has a straightforward personality and never hides his true thoughts in front of his friends.
Samoko's position as Barbarian King is not hereditary. In terms of the inheritance of the leader's position, Wuxi Barbarians still retain the ancient tradition of Zen position.
It's just that the process of Zen position in Wuxi Manzhong was full of blood.
Shamo Keben was a small barbarian among the Wuxi Barbarians, but relying on his own bravery, he defeated countless opponents and finally took the position of the Wuxi Barbarian King.
Because he came to the position by overpowering the heroes of Wuxi Barbarians, Samoko has always been quite confident in himself in the past.
Samoko was also a very ambitious barbarian king. If not, he would not have specially kidnapped Han scholars to teach them Chinese.
But it was after leading his army into Liu Bei's Xiazhou County that Shamoko realized what Yelang's arrogance meant.
The bustling scene in Wuling County alone made Shamoko envious.
According to Wang Hong, Wuling County was still one of the poorer counties in the Han Dynasty.
After hearing what Wang Hong said, Shamoko couldn't help but secretly marveled: No wonder the previous barbarian kings of Wuxi did not want to rely on their own efforts, but wanted to make a living by robbing counties.
What he saw along the way from Wuxi Barbarian settlements broadened Samoko's horizons a lot.
But it also caused an earth-shaking change in his ideas.
Shamoko began to be a little concerned about his identity as a barbarian.
Now Shamoko's idea is: I would rather guard wealth and honor for a Han county than deceive myself for a barbarian king.
Shamoko, who had this idea, changed his perception of Mi Yang from his initial neglect to great importance after hearing Wang Hong explain Mi Yang's identity to him.
It turned out that after leaving Wuxi Man, Wang Hong knew that once he arrived in Gong'an City, Shamoko would understand that the person who sent the envoy to him was not the famous former general Guan Yu, but a chief clerk in Guan Yu's shogunate.
In order to prevent Samoko from becoming ruthless when he knew the truth, Wang Hong avoided talking about Mi Yang's official position along the way, and only talked about Mi Yang's identity and background.
The nephew of the King of Hanzhong, the cousin of the Prince of Hanzhong, such a halo kept wearing on Mi Yang's head.
But what Wang Hong said is all true.
After knowing that Mi Yang who summoned him this time had this status, Samoko also had a good impression of Mi Yang because of the awe of Liu Bei in his heart.
After all, although he didn't understand the official system of the Han Dynasty, he knew the kinship between Han people.
Mi Yang and Liu Bei have such a close relationship, so Samoko cannot help but ignore Mi Yang.
After Wang Hong heard Samoko's doubts, he couldn't help but laugh. He said to Samoko:
"Brother Sha, don't worry. Although Master Mi has a high status, he is polite, virtuous, approachable, and has the style of a king of Hanzhong.
When he learns that you are coming with your army, he will definitely not despise you. "
Wang Hong dared to make such an assertion, relying on his understanding of Mi Yang's past.
If he didn't have this understanding of Mi Yang, how could he dare to call himself Mi Yang's friend and go south to join her without hesitation?
Wang Hong's assertion did not reassure Samoko.
A man of extraordinary status in the Han Dynasty, he had always looked down upon the barbarians, something he had known since he was a child.
He didn't have much confidence in Mi Yang, who also had an extraordinary background.
But Shamoko thought that if Mi Yang was too disrespectful to him, the worst he could do was return all the gold and silver that Mi Yang had given him, and then lead his army to leave.
Although he is a barbarian, he is also spirited.
While Shamoko was thinking, Wang Hong saw the public security gate open, and then he was riding a tall white horse heading towards this place.
As the rider came closer and closer, Wang Hong saw the man's face clearly, and he excitedly said to Samoko,
"Brother Sha, let's see. Master Mi has really come out of the city to greet us."
Under Wang Hong's shouts, Shamoko looked in the direction of Wang Hong's finger with eyes as wide as copper bells.
Then, with his excellent eyesight, he saw at a glance a man in white riding a snow-white horse galloping in front of him.
The man had a heroic appearance and an upright posture. As he was driving a horse and galloping, the big coat behind him was flying in the wind, which really attracted people's attention.
Seeing Mi Yang's high-spirited appearance, Shamoke couldn't help but think: Is this the style of the Marquis of Han?
It turns out that Samoko once heard from a Han scholar that many relatives outside the Han Dynasty were granted the title of marquis.
Therefore, Samoko also thought that Mi Yang, who had an extraordinary status, had already been granted the title of marquis.
When Mi Yang was about to arrive in front of Samoko, he stopped his horse's hooves not far away in time, trying not to let the dust and smoke raised by the horse's hoofs affect Samoko.
Samoko's appearance was majestic and he was sitting next to Wang Hong, so Mi Yang guessed his identity early on.
After Mi Yang dismounted, Wang Hong came to Mi Yang and bowed to him, "Master, Hong finally fulfilled his mission."
Mi Yang looked at Wang Hong, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and saw that Wang Hong, who used to pay attention to his manners, was tired from running around for days, and his clothes were all dirty. Even his face was scratched by branches.
From Wang Hong's appearance, we can get a glimpse of his hard work.
Mi Yang cast an approving look at Wang Hong, and then he spoke.
"You have done a great job this time. I will report it to the former general."
After finishing speaking, Mi Yang went straight to Samoke. Looking at Samoke who looked like a tiger and leopard, he couldn't help but admired,
"The general of bear and tiger should be like a barbarian king."
Facing Mi Yang's active praise, Shamoko, who was sitting on the ground, stood up and bowed to Mi Yang according to the Han ritual.
Samokobai later said, "Thank you very much, Chief Secretary, for the compliment."
When he met Mi Yang for the first time, Samoko was very impressed by Mi Yang's courtesy.
Samoko always repays those who respect him twice as much.
Shamo Ke was a full head taller than Mi Yang, and when he bowed, Mi Yang felt a gust of wind whistling over his head.
Although Shamoko was actually summoned by Mi Yang, Mi Yang actually relied on Guan Yu's reputation.
Therefore, when Samoko comes to the police to assist, Mi Yang can treat him as a reinforcement, but he must not treat him as a subordinate.
Shamoko and Mi Yang, who is a public security general, are in an equal alliance in terms of status alone.
After Samoko returned the courtesy to Mi Yang, Mi Yang looked behind Samoko at the five thousand barbarians he had brought this time.
I saw the five thousand burly barbarian soldiers lying on the ground like huge boulders to rest.
Because they lived in poverty and were not good at farming and weaving, most of these five thousand barbarian soldiers were covered with animal cloth.
And those animal cloths only covered the vital parts, leaving the rest of the parts exposed.
Seeing this scene, Mi Yang didn't want to take his eyes away from the five thousand barbarian soldiers for a long time.
Soldiers are good soldiers, but they don’t have good armor.
At this time, the materials brought by Mi Yang to reward the Wuxi barbarians were also escorted here.
Shamoko looked at the soldiers behind Mi Yang, who were escorting the supplies. They were all wearing fine armor and were full of energy.
He secretly compared them with the barely clothed tribesmen behind him, and then a look of amazement appeared on Shamoko's face.
Just like that day when he told Wang Hong that he only had 5,000 barbarians, so that Wang Hong would not be dissatisfied.
Just when the look of Hao Ran on Samoko's face grew stronger, Mi Yang took the initiative to bow deeply to Samoke.
He said apologetically:
"The Barbarian King Gaoyi came to help me, but I did not notice the suffering of the Barbarian King's people.
It was my fault that I did not prepare armor for the Barbarian King in advance, but allowed five thousand of the Barbarian King's followers to come in the cold. "
Mi Yang's sincere apology made Shamoke's affection for Mi Yang skyrocket.
