Manbai wasn't stupid, he just wanted to make sure again.
Let's see if the Nanzhong people have really encountered an enemy that is difficult to deal with. If Nanzhong obediently gives up the Naga people's land, it shows the seriousness of the problem.
Two days later, a delegation from the Funan Dynasty was ready to set off.
They will go to the land of the Nanzhong people to proclaim King Funan’s gift of peace.
People all over Funan capital poured into the streets happily.
Although it was just an envoy, it was already regarded as an incomparable victory by the three brothers of the Funan Kingdom.
The Nanzhong Empire, which once dominated the vast land from the Hezhong Grassland to the Tianzhu River, will soon fall at the feet of the Funan Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the Nanzhong people can't even resist a new wave of barbarians. It seems that it won't take long to completely regain the land east of the Tianzhu River."
The deputy prime minister accompanying King Funan said with a smile.
"Yes, once we conquer the inferior people in the south, we will immediately prepare for the war to completely conquer the people in the south!" Man Bai made no secret of his ambition.
His gift of peace to the people of Nanzhong is only temporary.
Just as the people of Tianzhu gave him the title, he wants to be the king of kings.
If you don’t trample under your feet the Nanzhong people who once oppressed them, how can you be worthy of being called the King of Kings?
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to pay more attention to Wenjiani to the east than the Nanzhong people who are no longer as powerful as they used to be."
The old prime minister standing on the other side suddenly said.
Man Bai frowned at this time, as if he remembered something that had happened for a while.
"The news from Vengania has been completely cut off. This must mean that the barbarians from the eastern jungle have cut off road traffic, and the news from the Venga city can no longer be transmitted."
The old prime minister, who has always been known as a wise man, gave an analysis to the 'King of Kings'.
In the eyes of the Funan Dynasty, the easternmost Wenjia land was just a newly conquered land and did not have many troops to defend it. Facing the emerging jungle barbarians, they only needed to defend the city and wait for rescue.
Now I haven't received news from Wenjia for a long time, which shows that the barbarians are very arrogant and have cut off the roads outside the city.
Well, this is already the worst situation that the wise old prime minister can think of.
As for the possibility of all the Wenjia people falling, that is basically crazy talk that only a fool would believe.
How could the jungle savages from the east have such great abilities?
"That's right! Although Vengania is a newly conquered land, if reinforcements are sent at the right time, it will be another conquest!"
The wise and powerful Man Bai added with a smile.
“And it’s a conquest of the heart.”
"First send someone to inquire about the situation and see how the Wenjia people are doing. If the situation is not critical enough, then our reinforcements will have to move slower."
Manbai I's words immediately made the old prime minister smile knowingly.
Using foreign enemies to remove the influence of local princes is also a common ruling method among Tianzhu people.
Later, King Funan ordered people to inquire about Vengania's situation.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence, King Funan ordered the old prime minister to personally select the most trusted and reliable people.
After all, news about Vengania has always been irritating and ridiculous lately.
Some pariahs who escaped from Vengania went around saying that the jungle savages had completely conquered Vengania.
Thirty Wenga cities have all pledged their allegiance to the barbarians.
Such stupid words are being spread one after another.
King Funan was naturally very dissatisfied.
Two teams set out from the Funan Dynasty, one heading northwest and the other heading southeast.
The envoy, composed of hundreds of camels and horses, finally arrived at the territory of the Nanzhong people after traveling all the way.
King Nihu of Xia Nanzhong had already sent people to prepare a grand ceremony to welcome him.
Under the deliberate groveling of the Nanzhong people, the envoys of the Funan Dynasty proudly announced the peace request of the 'King of Kings'.
Under the current situation, the Nanzhong people would never agree to these harsh demands.
However, at this time, the people in Nanzhong all accepted it very respectfully.
Including Nihu, the king of Lower South China who has always had a reputation for participating in insurance and being militant, he also looked like a rare person.
Especially when King Xia Nanzhong agreed to cede the Naga people's land without hesitation, King Funan's envoy was even more surprised.
He finally couldn't help but ask.
After hearing the envoy's doubts, Nihu, the king of Xiananzhong, said with worry on his face.
“The King of Kings has given us peace, but we no longer have the means to enjoy it.”
"We have just received the latest news that the barbarians from the far north have captured Bactra, and all the South Central Asian troops have ceased to exist."
The envoy of King Funan was also greatly surprised when he heard this.
Since the South-Central Dynasty split into three parts, the northernmost ghost Melania has Bactra as its center of rule.
Bactra is known as the world's most fortified city.
Even if the king of South Central Asia was killed by the newly emerging barbarians in the field, no one would have thought that Bactra would be captured so quickly.
"Oh my god, this is really shocking news. Because of this, the peace bestowed upon you by the King of Kings will definitely enable you to avoid this fate."
The envoy from King Funan said calmly.
Although the speed of the decline of South Centralia is surprising, South Centralia is far north of the Hinduku Stone Mountains, and the towering mountains separate the two worlds.
Siluke
"There are even worse situations!" said Nihu, the king of Lower South China.
"What else happens?"
"The Jibin people have surrendered to the barbarians, and the Kaibol Pass is no longer in the hands of the Nanzhong people." Nihu said with a melancholy face.
"What, is this true?" The envoy of King Funan was really frightened this time.
The Hindu Kush Mountains separate Central Asia and South Asia into two worlds.
But there is a mountain pass called Kaibol, which allows north-south traffic to flow smoothly. The people living there are the Jibin people.
Once the Jibin people surrender, the barbarians can appear directly in Xiananzhong and even Beitianzhu without any effort.
"Of course it is absolutely true. There is already chaos in South and Central China. In addition to people fleeing to Bamiyan and Ghazni, many people have already fled into our land."
When Nihu said this, his face showed nothing but fear of the unknown.
If in the past, people from neighboring countries had fled into their own land, Nihu would have happily announced the casting of a pure gold pagoda.
However, the large number of people fleeing now shows how terrifying the barbarians behind them are.
In fact, the Dayue clan, the former ancestors of the Nanzhong people, were also considered barbarians by the people of Tianzhu.
In fact, the Da Yueshi, the former ancestors of the Nanzhong people, were also considered barbarians by the people of Magadha.
However, after the Da Yuezhi people invaded North Magadha forcefully and killed many people in Magadha, no one dared to call Nanzhong people barbarians to their faces.
Now times have changed, and former rivals have united to defend themselves against the new barbarians.
"If the Jibin people surrender, then we will lose our most favorable terrain advantage. We must find a way to stop the barbarians at the Kaiboer Pass, otherwise it will be a disaster if they enter the plains!"
Nihu, the king of Nanzhong, made no secret of the embarrassing situation he is currently facing.
"The noble King of Kings has granted you peace. You don't have to worry anymore. Just send troops to deal with those Jibin traitors." The envoy of the King of Magadha said immediately.
"However, many princes in our country are afraid that the King of Magadha will suddenly attack from behind, and I am afraid not many will send troops." Nanzhong King Nihu said.
When the Magadha King's envoy heard this, he immediately looked angry, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"The words of the King of Kings are as solemn as the mountains. Since peace has been granted to you, how can you attack from behind?"
Finally, at the repeated request of the King of Nanzhong, more effective measures should be implemented in order to achieve trust between both parties.
Nihu, the king of Nanzhong, is willing to send his eldest son and daughter to the Kingdom of Magadha as hostages, and other princes and nobles of Nanzhong will also send their children to go with them.
The King of Magadha needed to send an elite army to help the Nanzhong people go to resist the enemy.
When the envoy brought back this request, Chandramagadha I agreed without hesitation.
Being able to let the Nanzhong people send hostages already filled the heart of Chandala Magadha with pride.
And sending elites to assist in the battle can also be used to find out the reality of the Nanzhong people.
"After meeting Nihu, let him prepare all the food and meat for the Magadha warriors. We, the warriors of the Magadha Kingdom, will let them see what majesty is!"
Today's Nanzhong people are no longer the tough people who were good at riding and shooting. They have completely become good people who are better at farming and herding.
Chandra Magadha believed that when the Magadha warriors wearing shining chain armor appeared on the battlefield, they would first shock the barbarians, and then achieve a hearty victory.
Under the orders of Chandramagadha, an elite army was quickly selected and headed towards the territory of the Nanzhong people in the north.
Chandramagadha I imagined that the Magadha warriors of the Magadha Dynasty would defeat the barbarians, then go north to occupy the barbarians' lair, and then go west to frighten the growing Sasanian Persia!
Just when Chandramagadha was having a pleasant dream, someone suddenly came to report in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the people who went to Vengania are back."
"It's so fast, then let's find him to come in."
As Chandramagadha spoke, he guessed that the barbarians in Venganiya had retreated, and then he gave such a quick feedback.
However, when his envoy was brought in, Chandramagadha I fell into a state of confusion that could not be recovered for a long time.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good, the whole Vengania has rebelled!"
The messenger knelt on the ground and said in panic.
"What, the whole Vengania rebelled?"
Chandramagadha could not believe his ears.
Wenjia people have never been brave or courageous.
But there is some wisdom. Aren't the Wenjia people afraid of facing the powerful army of the Magadha Dynasty in the future due to their rebellion this time?
"Yes, Your Majesty, the entire Vengania city-state and princes have surrendered." The envoy explained.
"Are the Venga people so deceived by demonic obstacles that they actually surrendered to those barbarians in the woods?" Chandramagadha simply couldn't figure it out.
"Your Majesty, the enemies who occupied Wengania are not barbarians living in the woods and mountains. They declared to the locals in Wengania that they were canonized by the Chinese emperor!" The envoy said what he had seen.
"What? Could it be that the canonization of the Chinese emperor is that China thousands of miles away?"
The expression on the face of Chandramagadha is very wonderful.
In the eyes of the Magadha people, China, which is rich in silk and rich and powerful, is simply out of reach.
Even the arrogant King of Kings praises these luxury goods all the time.
However, the invasion and betrayal that he suffered now was actually caused by these people.
"No matter they are savages or medieval people, what I want is the loyalty and submission of the Wenjia people."
"Rather than just because of a war, we will be stuck fighting on multiple fronts."
Chandramagadha soon calmed down.
He ordered a large amount of manpower and material resources to be prepared to fight in all directions in the next year.
"From this point of view, Vengania's rebellion is also an original conspiracy."
The anger in Chandramagadha's heart soon burned up.
Whether it is jungle savages or the mysterious Chinese, as long as they invade their own land, they are their enemies.
In order to deal with the rebellion of Venganiya, Chandramagadha decided to send people to attack Venganiya again.
“Although I don’t know why the people of the Han Dynasty came to our Venganiya, as the King of Kings of Magadha, I am still willing to have envoy exchanges.”
Magadha I then gave instructions to the envoy.
"You take my orders and bring more gifts. As long as those Han Dynasty people are willing to withdraw from the land of Vengania, then I will always be friends with them!"
Chandramagadha wanted to make as few enemies as possible.
Because of this news, all the thoughts of Chandramagadha were taken to Venganiya.
I am no longer interested in the barbarian invasion from the northwest.
Chandramagadha only cares about Venganiya now. The Nanzhong people and the Great Northern War are all just excuses.
It happened to be at this time, thousands of miles away in the Great North.
The 'barbarians' as they were called by the people of Nanzhong and Magadha had already captured Derbinder.
Derbinder is the most prosperous city in South Central Asia.
In fact, just when I was about to count it out, there was no accumulation of fire in the palace.
The leaders of these barbarians actually thought that
Since Bald Xianbei seized territory in Nan Yelang, it didn't take long for the Han army led by Ran Liang to pursue them.
Although the Han army under Ran Liang is called Han army, most of them are the original tribes such as Xianbei in the west.
These tribes have retained quite a few backward customs, and their behavior is also very barbaric.
However, it was precisely these barbarities that really shocked the people of Nanyelang.
Facing the feud between the two families, most of the Nanyelang people quickly defected to Ran Liang's army.
Without the foundation of the people, the bald Xianbei people who originally planned to build a city there had to embark on the road of migration again.
"My Bald Hair tribe is of noble birth and moved here. These small barbarian countries should have eaten pots of pulp to reward the troops for their suffering."
In the big tent, a circle of curly-haired and blue-eyed Nanzhong barbarians were listening to the coach Bald-faced Han talking incessantly.
When Bald Han said this, his tone suddenly increased.
"However, these barbarians who don't know the heights of the sky are trying to resist our army. They not only kill our envoys but also rob our camel caravans. How can we let them go so easily?"
When everyone heard this, they became very excited.
Since Bald Xianbei embarked on migration again, there have been differences between the two factions moving westward and southward. Although the land on both sides of the Guishui River is fertile, it is threatened by the pursuit of the Han army.
It won't take more than a generation for those who have acquired the entire territory of the former Nanzhong Protectorate to completely eliminate all traces of the bald Xianbei.
"But, general, doesn't King Yan's order require us to return to the army?" said a bald Xianbei general.
Different from those Nanzhong Hu people with curly hair and blue eyes, this is a bald Xianbei person with black eyes and tied hair.
His standard appearance is the basis for him to speak here.
"Of course, back to the army!"
Bald Han's eyes widened and he said with some dissatisfaction.
"Where did I say I won't return to the army?"
"It's just that this place is thousands of miles away from Guishan City, and winter is about to begin. If we don't prepare enough food, grass, and warm clothing, what can we do to survive the winter when we go back?"
Although Tu Fa Han continued to obey his younger brother Tu Fa Kuang's orders, they were all superficial and the real decisions he made were based on his own thoughts.
"General, the Sassanids to the west have a territory of thousands of miles. The monarchs of South Zhongnia and South Zhongsha all obeyed the canonization orders of the Sassanid Persian king. Now we have killed the king of South Zhongnia. , it will definitely lead to their revenge, so let’s make some plans.”
A Nanzhong Hu subordinate with blue eyes and brown hair suggested.
"Sasanian Persians? Can you scare me into retreating without a fight?"
Bald Han curled his lips and said nonchalantly.
Since entering Nanzhong and fighting in several battles, Tufa Han has become more and more confident in his military abilities.
Starting from the Cheshi people, to the Nanyelang people, Hujie people, Kangju people, Dawan people, and now to the Nanzhong people, the opponents they encountered along the way were not as good as the others.
The once well-thought-out tactical planning was simply superfluous to deal with these Southern and Central Kingdoms who were fighting against the five scum.
Nowadays, these Sassanid Persians, who are famous among the local Nanzhong Hu people, in Tufa Han's view, are mostly just the illusion of the weak.
"Sasanian Persia is just a small state of Zuer. We are a branch of the Han Dynasty. How can we be afraid of some barbarians?" Tufa Han waved his hand and said.
The battle between Bald Xianbei and Ran Liang and others was not only a war battle, but also a battle over their respective origins, which never stopped.
Ran Liang and others represent the backward tribes in the river. They all have no ideals and do not care about their status.
But Bald Xianbei was different. He was originally famous in Liaodong for his advice to farmers and to respect Confucianism, but now he has not forgotten this even though he is living thousands of miles away.
Because the Han Dynasty's centuries-old prestige still existed in the hearts of the people in Nanzhong, Bald Xianbei began to express the concept of being a "other tribe" of the Han Dynasty.
They feel that their Han identity is only so obvious, and there must be others like Nanzhong Hu people in the area.
"But the Sassanid King has millions of troops and a territory thousands of miles away. Once he gets angry, even the mountains and rivers will be shaken." The Nanzhong Hu man advised without giving up.
"Okay, don't be nagging!"
Bald Han waved his hand and dealt with him roughly.
Just listen to him continue.
"I learned from the people of Jibin that further south, in the middle of Xianan, is a fertile and prosperous land thousands of miles away, and further on, there are even more prosperous countries in Shendu."
"There are not only sufficient food and fodder, but also a splendid and prosperous city and all kinds of rare treasures."
"Such a generous reward is almost at your fingertips just by crossing the mountain pass called Kaibol. Are you really sure you want to retreat and return to Guishan City?"
Tufa Han's words immediately caused the generals in the tent to hesitate.
If we return to Guishan City, which is thousands of miles away, it may not be as easy as it is now to go south again.
In particular, they knew very well that leading parties like the Jibin people were not common.
Once they retreat, the Sasanians or Nanzhong who come in later will re-consolidate their defenses.
"Thousands of miles of marching, such a good opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a second time."
Bald Han glanced at everyone and then continued.
"So, I have decided to rest in this city for two days, and then continue my army southward to show you how wealthy the banks of the Shendu River are."
"If we can really plunder, then we can return to Guishan City wearing gold and silver."
Ever since he left Nan Yelang's territory, Bald Xianbei's life had not been rich.
Although the South and Central countries along the way are all claimed to be wealthy, they are simply unable to sustain supplies in the face of the hundreds of thousands of people swarming in.
Many tribes had to cut down on food and clothing, so Tufa Han and others led their troops to raid grass and grain for food.
At Tufa Han's insistence, they quickly reached a decision to continue going south.
The day after the decision was made, another bald Xianbei army also came to Jiecheng.
Those who came were the troops from the Bald Tuyuhun tribe who had just captured the small capital of South Central Asia, Malakanda.
Its leader was Bald Tuyan. Tuyan, who was already gray-haired, began to complain uncontrollably when he saw Bald Han.
"My dear brother, it's so hard to be a brother. The poor and remote place of Malakanda actually dares to call itself the small capital of Nanzhong."
It turned out that Tuyan led his troops to attack and plunder the south-central and northwest areas, which is the famous Samarkand in later generations, known as the most prosperous city in the entire south-central world.
It was precisely because of this expectation that Tuyan led tens of thousands of troops to go there.
Unexpectedly, after conquering the city, in addition to the abundant things and goods, they were seriously lacking in food, cloth, silk and other items that they lacked most.
The final calculation was not enough for the army to consume back and forth.
Tufa Tuyan was so angry that he was unwilling to return to Guishan City, so he came towards Tufa Han and joined forces to rob the Sasanian Persians to the west.
