1263 Fighting the pet with life
The reason why the Iron Fur messenger was able to cross the long frontier, the southern desert, and especially to bypass the eyes and ears of Dai Kingdom to successfully reach the sphere of influence of Zhao State, it can also be said to be full of hardships. The departure was October winter, the weather was cold and the ground was frozen. By the time we arrived in Youzhou, it had already passed late spring and summer was about to enter.
When they set out, hundreds of strong warriors from the clan actually arrived in Zhao State, only a dozen people, including Liu Wuhuan's eldest son Xiwuqi. As for the others, they either died in various dangers on the way, or they fled directly from the middle because they were afraid of the hardships of the future.
The remaining dozen people were all in a mess. As for the goods they carried for tribute, they were naturally all lost. The most ridiculous was the token used to prove their identity, which was actually the talisman seal of General Anbei, who was granted Liu Hu by Liu Cong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the past year.
But no matter what, it is a pleasure to be able to successfully reach Zhao State. Xiwuqi also told the generals of Youzhou Town of Zhao State how the Hu tribes in the north of the North were eager for Zhao's envy. The generals of Zhao State naturally would not be too concerned about this. They also knew that in recent years, the King of Heaven liked such a Hu tribe and the world came to worship the world, so they sent people to escort them to the south.
When they entered the territory of Zhao, these Tiefu envoys were all very touched, and Xiwuqi couldn't help but sigh: "The Chinese landscape is so beautiful. I hate that I was born in the wilderness and could not always enjoy the peace of this place..."
In fact, Youzhou is far from prosperous and prosperous today. This realm is not the top rich place among the summers. In the past few years, there have been constant wars, because there are many abandonment in the realm. But even so, the mountains, rivers and climate of Youzhou are not comparable to those of the bitter and cold land on the Shuofang.
Seeing many abandoned fields along the way, these envoys of the Tieffern tribe couldn't help but sigh and even felt deeply distressed. Although these fields were deserted, they were lush and lush. Whether used for grazing or reclamation, they were excellent places. They were definitely a resting place worth fighting and scrambling on the frontier.
However, in the current Youzhou area, such wasteland can be seen everywhere and stretched in pieces. The envoys of the Iron Fifth tribe inevitably talked privately: "The King of Zhao was born in the rich land of China, but he was allowed to be desolate and did not do herd farming. This was really a waste of the gift of the heavens. I was so neglected by heaven, but I was afraid that the destiny might not be able to be kept forever..."
These border soldiers suddenly came to China, especially as passers-by, and still maintained a certain simplicity. However, when they entered the Jizhou territory, there were more and more people, and there were many serfs on both sides of the road busying their spring plowing. After passing through many ferry cities and cities, the large amount of goods they saw, they realized that China's prosperity was far beyond their imagination.
Especially when they saw the soldiers who escorted them were extremely arrogant and blackmailed and plundered wealth along the way, few people dared to refuse, and they were even more envious of such deeds that were worthless and wished they could replace them.
"As such a cowardly and dare not fight for the people, they can enjoy this rich world that is unique. This is really unfair to the will of heaven! The courage of our tribes all has the courage of the wolf and tiger. But because of their lack of knowledge, they can only be trapped in the wasteland on the block to survive hardships. It is really hard for people to be content! The King of Zhao is just a mere Hun. He can dominate this heavenly kingdom before taking advantage of China's fall. Why can't our tribe?"
Xiwuqi privately told the clan members that although he entered China more and more shallowly, he had a quick look at the flowers, but what he saw had already touched him and he was even unwilling to return to the cold and bitter borderlands on the block.
When the other tribes heard this, they nodded repeatedly: "The courage in our tribe is not afraid of death, and we have never lacked the courage to fight for life. It is time to come south to fight for life. Even if we die, it will be better than to die suddenly in the frontier when we are hungry and cold!"
Not to mention how many thoughts arose in the minds of these Tiefu envoys along the way, they were shocked even more when they arrived at the place of the tent of Shihu in Jingxing.
The huge camp that was dozens of miles in the camp was even larger than the tribes where their tribes lived. The brave soldiers who came in and out of the camp casually pulled out a team, and the number was far greater than that of the people who could fight with their clans!
"You can control ten people, and you are already the elders among humans. This Heavenly King can actually make such a thousand people obey orders. If it weren't for the destiny of heaven, how could this be done by humans..."
Originally, Xiwuqi had a lot of ambitions to compete for China in his heart, but when he saw the powerful military power of Zhao State, he was shocked for a moment, and his entourages would no longer dare to have the intention of being presumptuous.
These tribal warriors are indeed very fierce and courageous to fight for their lives, but if they are enemies of such a mighty army, it is no longer a fight for their lives, it is just a simple death!
After entering the camp, everyone was obedient like quails, following the arrangement of Zhao Jun, and then they waited for the reception of the Heavenly King for a long time.
During this process, they also saw other Hu envoys from far away from the north or south of the desert, and only then did they realize that in the eyes of the Shi Tianwang, the overlord of Hebei, they were really just like ants.
This time, the Tief people had a good self-awareness. In the eyes of Shihu and even his subordinates, they really had nothing special.
The Heavenly King arrived in the northern border, Xuan Wei Yuanyi, and came to surrender countless Hu tribes, both of them, seeking the vanity of the title of the title, or begging Zhao to allow them to live within the border. The Tiefu tribe may be a powerful force in the north of the border, but after arriving here, it was really special and could not be seen at all.
You should know that even the sect leader Dai Kingdom, above their tribe, was just a vassal in the northern border of Zhao. They were really overestimated in their own ability to express their submission to the Shi Tianwang in person and discuss military strategies.
Fortunately, after they were lucky enough to hand over the talismans that represented their identities, they were a little sensitive and inevitably stirred Shi Hu's nerves. They wanted to see what kind of brave Han Zhao Yuni was, and they dared to walk into his camp with the token of the old country.
Because of this occasional thought, these Tiefferns avoid waiting for reception in the camp like others, and were summoned in advance for several months or even more than a year.
Xiwuqi walked into the king's tent tremblingly, and before he could speak, he made a big ceremony to worship. As a Hu, he really didn't know what the Chinese worship etiquette was.
This clumsiness of fear and fear fell into Shi Hu's eyes, which made him feel slightly better. Especially this Siwuqi is burly and strong, even among the barbarians, and such a person crawling on the ground tremblingly, which naturally makes the superior venerable feel more pleasing to the eye.
So Shi Hu was also very gentle, and he asked someone to help the Huns to help the seat and then ask about the purpose of this person.
Although Wuqi is vulgar by nature, he also remembers his father's teachings before leaving, and only responds with respect and humility, and reveals all his origins.
After hearing this, Shi Hu, the leader, suddenly looked dark and snorted coldly: "Sehu, since you surrendered to the lieutenant, you should follow the lieutenant orders and guard the territory. Why did you travel far and enter my tent to act like this slave?"
Xiwuqi was already nervous. When he heard the tone of Shi Tianwang's voice, he quickly rolled up from the seat and bowed again and said in a trembling voice: "The slaves grew up in the desert, and he also knew that the king's power was as powerful as the sky. Life all had a desire, like the tiger and leopard outside the tent, which was very lucky to be able to go out of the forest and be fed by the king. The beasts were willing to serve the hero, let alone the little humane border Hu. The acting master was just a dark cloud in the south of the desert, reflecting the glory of the king. We, the Husbands from the distance, bowed to him, but we still longed for the true illumination of heaven in our hearts..."
When Shi Hu heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He asked Siwuqi to get up and looked at him with many appreciation: "There are such insightful warriors in Sehu, which is surprising. Comparing yourself with the tiger and leopard under my gate, I want to see what the advantages and disadvantages of the two are. Do I dare to compete?"
After hearing this, Siwuqi was slightly surprised, and then reacted for a moment. He closed the cold sweat on his forehead and said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that his skills will be vulgar and offend the majesty of the king."
"I am hanging high in the sky, so how could I bother the affront to Jenu?"
While speaking, Shi Hu asked the tiger under the tent to carry it into a large iron bar several feet wide and set it up directly in the tent, and then asked Siwuqi to personally select the beasts to fight. Seeing that Siwuqi did not take shelter, but chose a strong and fat black bear, Shihu was even more excited.
Nasibuqi refused the iron armor given to the warrior in the tent, but chose a sharp knife and light leather protective gear. After a little preparation, he rushed into the fence.
After a fight, the black bear died, and Siwuqi was also covered in bruises and one of his legs was bitten and beaten by the black bear, and almost broke. He just gritted his teeth and insisted on refusing to heal the injury first. He lay on the ground and licked the blood stains flowing on the felt in the tent with his mouth. He repeatedly accused him of damnation and defiling the tent.
As a result, Shi Hu was even more satisfied with this Xiwuqi and laughed and said, "You shouldn't be buried in such a brave and powerful man. You gave the talisman order before, which was the correct authority of the former Han pseudo emperor. I should have committed you to commit crimes, but I pity your talents and are also a slave who is alienated from the king's law. I will forgive you for not guilty."
After hearing this, Xiwuqi bowed his head and thanked him repeatedly, regardless of the wounds on his body, and he was flowing with blood.
Shi Hu cherished the courage and humility of this slave. Instead, he no longer pursued his previous crimes, he directly gave him the title of tooth in the tent, and later sent someone to carry him down for treatment. Then he summoned him into the tent to continue asking about his purpose.
