When Mituyanna saw Murong Xianbei's envoy, his mood suddenly deteriorated.
Because these two envoys from Murong Xianbei made quite unreasonable demands.
"My general is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Beiting Protectorate and the Duke of Jinshan County given by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He has now arrived in the east of Cheshi Kingdom and will be the same-level commander of the Western Region Changshi Mansion in the future."
"Now we are sent to Jinpucheng because we want your Cheshi Kingdom to send food, livestock and women as soon as possible."
"Among them, one hundred thousand stones are needed for food, ten thousand cattle and horses each for livestock, and one thousand beautiful women!"
The two brown-haired and blue-eyed barbarians were Murong Xianbei's envoys.
After they finished telling Murong Xianbei's request, the entire Cheshi Palace was completely silent.
No one expected it.
These people from Murong Xianbei who came from afar actually made such tough and unreasonable demands right away.
Mi Tuyan was filled with anger.
If it weren't for the 'three thousand army' he sent to attack, they were defeated by Murong Xianbei's charge.
I'm afraid that these two messengers have already been ordered by him to cut out their tongues and gouge out their eyes.
"Hmph, you humble Hujie people actually dare to act as lackeys of the Xianbei people and bully me."
Mi Tuyan said angrily.
Both of these messengers have curly hair and blue eyes like Che Shi.
At first glance, they are not Xianbei people from Donghu.
They are the Hujie people from the north of Cheshi Kingdom, who are the cousins of the Jiehu people who caused trouble in the Central Plains.
"Honorable Car Master King, as a former friend, I advise you that it is best to agree to these requests."
The older envoy opened his eyes wide, stared at the Cheshi King aggressively, and said loudly.
"My master, Murong Xin, the current deputy marshal of the Beiting Protectorate of the Great Han Dynasty, has 100,000 string-control warriors under his command, as well as 100,000 strong women who can shoot hunting bows."
"These military horses alone can flatten all the farmland outside Jinpu City."
"If you don't agree to these requests, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it in the future."
Because they had just defeated the forwards of Cheshi Kingdom, these two Xianbei envoys were quite rampant at this time.
The entire Cheshi Kingdom's monarchs and ministers were eager to chop off the heads of these Hujie barbarians.
However, because of their noble cultivation, they maintained restraint.
"Hmph, the Xianbei people just defeated a small army of mine, but they dared to send you to threaten me."
Mi Tuyan snorted coldly, and then continued.
"Go back and tell that so-called deputy marshal of Han that as long as they dare to take another step forward, my two hundred thousand troops will rush out of Jinpu City at any time and kill them all."
After hearing what Mithuyana said.
The two former Hujie people and now Murong Xianbei people immediately curled their lips.
The Car Master King's boastfulness could not even deceive them.
What's more, that wise Xianbei Great Chanyu.
"Okay, since the Chariot King is unwilling to agree to our master's request, then prepare to bear the wrath of the army."
After saying this, the two Hujie people turned around and walked away.
The entire Chariot King's guard did not stop him in the slightest.
Because they know.
These enemies from the east don't seem to be easy to deal with.
If the situation is very bad.
Cheshi Kingdom may have to negotiate peace with them in the future.
Since there is a possibility of negotiation.
Then you must set an example by not killing the messenger.
um, yes.
The entire chariot kingdom, including chariot king Mi Tuyana.
They all felt that they should deal with these Xianbei people.
The worst outcome is to negotiate peace.
Just compensate with some grain, gold, silver or livestock.
. . .
When the two Hujie people returned to Murong Xian.
He immediately explained the tough attitude of the driver, King Mi Tuyanna, in a very embellished way.
As neighbors of the Cheshi Kingdom, the Hujie people have long coveted their wealth.
Now that he has the fierce Xianbei people as his backing, he naturally wants to rob the entire Cheshi Kingdom.
After Murong Xuan heard the description of the two Hujie slaves, he became very angry.
"How dare these barbarians from Cheshi Country dare to be so rampant!"
"Don't they know that my commander defeated three thousand of them with just one charge?"
The Hujie slave who was lying on the ground immediately lowered his head and spoke in less fluent words.
"My distinguished master, Chariot Master Wang Mi Tuyana said that they have an army of 200,000 and can defend their homeland at any time. No matter it is the master's army or the Han army of the Emperor of the Central Plains, they will be defeated at the foot of Jinpu City!!"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Xin, who was still angry at first, burst into laughter.
Murong Han, Murong Huang and other disciples next to him also burst into laughter.
"Haha, this barbarian chief of the Cheshi Kingdom actually dares to boast like this because he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth."
"It's just a chariot country, let alone 200,000 soldiers, even if it has 200,000 soldiers, it may not have them!"
People like Murong Xianbei had already known the reality of the Cheshi Kingdom from the mouths of Hujie and Jiankun prisoners of war.
Don't look at the Cheshi Kingdom's territory, which is very large, with a radius of three to four thousand miles.
But the population above is extremely sparse.
Some so-called towns often have only one or two thousand people.
How could such a chariot country have an army of 200,000 men?
"Okay, don't laugh anymore."
Murong Xin finally stopped laughing and spoke.
"After all, Cheshi Kingdom is different from Hujie and other barbarians. It can build cities, herd cattle and sheep, and farm, even if it doesn't have an army of 200,000."
When Murong Xin said this, he suddenly coughed.
The sons nearby quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
Finally, when Murong Xie came to his senses, his face was already red from holding back.
He endured it with all his strength, and then continued.
"Ahem, Cheshi Kingdom, even if it doesn't have 200,000 troops, it still has about 70,000 to 80,000 troops."
"There are so many soldiers and horses, and there is a city garrisoned. If we attack with our soldiers and horses, we will probably lose a lot."
"You all tell me, what should we do?"
As the first big country in the Western Regions that Murong Xianbei encountered.
Murong Xian had to be cautious.
They led their troops to jump out of the semi-encirclement around Helan Mountain in order to find a new habitat.
Since it is a habitat, I thought about grazing, farming and giving birth to children in the future.
If after a few battles, his troops will be wiped out.
Then find a damn habitat.
"Commander Father, I think the troops of the Cheshi Kingdom are too weak. I don't allow them to talk nonsense. Just gather the troops and kill them."
Murong Han, the eldest son of the concubine, took the lead in speaking.
The general who defeated the advance of the Three Thousand Che Division Kingdom before was none other than Murong Han.
According to Murong Han, those three thousand soldiers of the Cheshi Kingdom were simply three thousand farmers with weapons.
Occasionally, there were a few leaders with outstanding martial arts, but they could only survive for a while under the impact of the Xianbei armored cavalry.
The 3,000 Cheshi army might not be able to defeat even 1,000 Xianbei people.
However, Murong Xi, who was cautious, still shook his head when he heard this.
"Don't be reckless!"
"The three thousand Cheshi Kingdom troops you encountered before were probably just some stragglers."
"It's just to paralyze us. There might be some trap hidden ahead."
Murong Xin walked all the way from Helan Mountain, and his body was almost reaching its limit.
He knew in his heart that he must give his sons a good start in the Western Region before he closed his eyes.
All beginnings are hard.
If they don't get a good start, the rootless Xianbei people are likely to become a savage tribe like the Hujie people.
"Commander Father, I think it is better to send some troops first to continue to test the strength of the Cheshi Kingdom."
At this time, the eldest son Murong Huang said again.
"As long as Cheshi Country is really powerful, it will definitely be shown."
"If they are just bluffing, wouldn't it be just right for us to attack with a large army?"
After hearing his brother's words, Murong Han, the eldest son of the concubine, felt very unhappy.
"We can't miss this opportunity. The weather has begun to change now. If we can't settle down quickly, what will our troops do?"
actually.
Murong Han's words are just an excuse.
Seeing that his father Murong Xuan's body was no longer in recovery.
Murong Han had outstanding military exploits. If he had great military exploits at this time, he would most likely win more support from his tribe.
In that case, Murong Han would have the opportunity to become Murong Xianbei's next great chanyu.
And the opposite of that.
Time was on Murong Huang's side.
If the army acted step by step, Murong Han's military talent would not be outstanding.
Then Murong Huang could rely on his noble background to legitimately inherit the titles of Xianbei Great Chanyu, Deputy Marshal of Beiting Protectorate, and Jinshan County Duke.
"Okay, that's a good idea."
In his heart, Murong Xin was inclined towards his eldest son Murong Huang.
"Then how do we test it?" Murong Xuan continued to ask.
A hint of sinisterness flashed across Murong Huang's young face.
Just listen to what he said.
"We can send light cavalry along the mountains and rivers to harass the Cheshi people's villages and farmland."
"Their farmland is almost mature."
"This is their harvest hope for the year, so we send people to burn their farmland."
"If they are really powerful, they will definitely lead an army to fight us."
"If the Cheshi people don't dare to pursue, it means they are bluffing."
"At that time, we can head west with confidence."
Murong Xin was very happy after hearing what his eldest son said.
"Okay, let's do it."
After Murong Xuan said this, he thought about it again.
"Hurry up and send someone to notify the Tuyuhun tribe and ask them to send troops and horses quickly to join us."
As his brother's tribe, the soldiers and horses of the Tuyuhun tribe were not directly affiliated with Murong Xuan and his son.
They grazed their cattle at the foot of Golden Mountain, slightly to the north.
This kind of robbery naturally requires as many people as possible.
After all, when it comes to looting, the Tuyuhun tribe, which still maintains their nomadic characteristics, are extremely good at it.
Seven days later.
On the land to the east of the Cheshi Kingdom, tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry galloped down from the grasslands at the foot of Jinshan Mountain.
Along the river formed by the melted snow, all the way to the west, deep into the villages and farmland of the Cheshi people.
