The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 546 Conditions for Withdrawal

"Lord, the messenger Karasuma has arrived." At the government office in Lulong Village, Dian Wei came in with several people whose heads were wrapped in hoods and saluted Chen Mo.

In the first battle, Lu Bu defeated a large number with a small number, defeating 30,000 Karasuma cavalry, which frightened all Karasuma tribes. He even invited Karasuma Chanyu to come forward, hoping to gather strength to fight against the Han army's revenge journey.

The envoy didn't know that Chen Mo was in Lulong Village. They first went to the Han Qiong Camp in the coastal area, and then they were hooded and sent all the way to Lulong Village.

Chen Mo waved his hand, and the surrounding guards took off the hoods of these Karasuma people.

"What are you looking at? This is my lord, the general of the dynasty, why don't you bow down!" Seeing these Karasuma envoys looking at Chen Mo stupidly, Dian Wei suddenly became angry, kicked the envoys who led him down and cursed. road.

"See you, General!" A group of Karasuma envoys were shocked when they heard this. They quickly knelt down towards Chen Mo and bowed their heads. With the Han army's northern expedition, the name of General Chen Mo is not as good as Lu Bu's on the grassland. Small.

"No need to be polite." Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "Whose order do you have for coming here?"

"Back to the general, I am here because of the Shanyu's entrustment." A group of envoys bowed.

"Lou Ban." Chen Mo nodded: "Tell me about it."

"Here!" The envoys obeyed the etiquette. Not only did they speak Chinese fluently, but they also performed etiquette sufficiently. Their postures were very low. Even if the envoy at the head was kicked by Dian Wei, he did not dare to complain at all. Chen Mo bowed and said: "Prior to King Tadun's private invasion of the south, it was definitely not the intention of the Shanyu. My Shanyu has always been in awe of the Han Dynasty..."

"I have never seen how much the Lou squad awes my big man, but the Wuwan bandits raided Youzhou, killed my people, humiliated my big Han women, and spared my big Han's food. I, the General, saw it very clearly. You are waiting for me If you just want to say this, please come back." Chen Mo waved his hand.

"General, calm down!" The envoy said quickly: "To express my apology, Shan Yu specially ordered us to bring a thousand cattle and sheep and hundreds of good horses to the general. I hope that the general can calm down the anger of thunder. Before this battle, I The tribe has always had good relations with the Han State, and the former king Qiu Liju led his tribe to help the Han State many times. "

"Qiu Liju?" Chen Mo was smiling, but his smile made people feel cold to the bone: "Are you saying that he roped in Zhang Chun to rebel against the Han? Or that he repeatedly plundered my Qingxu and tried to harm the people of the four states? We are on good terms with each other. Is there a misunderstanding between the two words? According to what you said, I am also making friends with you by sending troops to Karasuma?"

"Don't dare, this is..." the messenger said hurriedly: "This is the former king's recklessness. Now since Lou Ban Shanyu succeeded to the throne, he has never dared to be disrespectful at all."

"I can distinguish between disrespect and respect. This time the Wuwan bandits raided Yuyang and Western Liaoning and killed more than one hundred thousand of my people? Thousands of cattle and sheep and hundreds of horses. You want me to withdraw my troops? You let me How can I explain to the hundreds of thousands of people in Youzhou who have lost their homes, wives, children, and husbands? How can I explain to those soldiers who died in battle? "What do you think of me, Chen Mo?" The smile is colder.

"General, please calm down. These are just some of the thoughts offered by my Shanyu, not atonement." The envoy broke into a cold sweat and bowed repeatedly.

"If you want to make peace, show your sincerity. If it's just these things, you can keep the things. You can just go back and call the building class to start a war." Chen Mo said coldly.

"Before we leave, Shanyu has told us that the general only needs to put forward conditions. As long as we can meet them, we will not refuse." The messenger quickly bowed.

Han Qiong's troops are approaching Bailang Mountain, and Lu Bu is wandering around, almost everywhere he passes is a dead land. The Karasuma Palace obviously does not want this war to continue.

"Conditions?" Chen Mo said with a smile: "That's okay. The first one is that all Han people under Wuwan's rule should be brought back to me. The second one is that I want five thousand good horses and one hundred thousand cattle and sheep. Count it as compensation to the people of Youzhou.”

"This... General, is it too much?" The envoy looked confused.

"How much?" Chen Mo looked at the envoy and said calmly: "Let me calculate it for you. This time, it should be regarded as Tadun going south privately to plunder Yuyang and Liaoxi counties. The soldiers who died in battle are not counted. The casualties of the people alone. At present, there are records of our army numbering 180,000. Along the way, the land in western Liaoning is devastated and there are no traces for hundreds of miles. The population is all given by Bayer and others. Don't tell me how many people General Lu has killed. If you and others hadn't taken action first, this wouldn't have happened at all. Now that you have taken action, don't blame us for counterattack. It was you, Karasuma, who wiped out the clan. , that’s all your own fault! As I said, it doesn’t matter if you lose one cow, one horse, or one sheep.”

"This... we'll do our best." The envoy sighed, and now he could only agree. He bowed and said, "I wonder when the general will ask General Lu to withdraw from our headquarters?"

"Don't worry, there is one more thing. If this condition cannot be agreed, the other two will be meaningless." Chen Mo shook his head.

"I wonder what the general has to ask for?" The envoy said in a deep voice with a trembling heart.

The first two items alone are already very difficult for Karasuma to come up with. This last item, I’m afraid.

"Tandun, I want to live." Chen Mo looked at the Xianbei envoy and said with a smile, "This shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"General, King Tadun is one of the kings of our Karasuma Three Kings Tribe, and is Shanyu's right-hand man. You want him... this..." The messenger said with an ugly face after hearing this.

"I don't care what his status is in Karasuma." Chen Mo looked at the envoy and said coldly: "General Huwuwan Zhonglang was a general who had followed me for many years, but he died in Lulong Village. Originally, on this battlefield , life and death are determined by destiny, Bao Geng died on the battlefield, which is also the glory of a warrior, but he should not insult his body, and even hang his head on the city gate. I, the son of the Han family, can die in battle, but he must not! You can’t insult, Tadun, it’s necessary. If you can’t, go back and tell your Shanyu to prepare for war.”

The envoy's heart sank. Tadun had a lot of troops and had great influence in Karasuma. How easy was it to kill him? I couldn't decide this kind of thing, so I had no choice but to say: "Can you allow me to discuss it with Shan Yu when I go back?"

"Okay." Chen Mo nodded nonchalantly and motioned to his guards to put hoods on them, take them back to Han Qiong, and send them back.

"Wait a minute!" the envoy said quickly, "General, can you make a truce first?"

"I haven't agreed to negotiate peace yet, how can we have a truce?" Chen Mo shook his head: "The war still has to be fought. When did your Shanyu agree to my conditions? It won't be too late for a truce!"

"The general's move is too much to deceive others. Do you think I have no one?" The envoy said angrily.

"Yes, do you have a problem?" Chen Mo nodded.

The envoy's chest felt tight, and he nodded and said: "Okay, the Han family has something to say, the fish is dead and the net is broken. Since the general is not afraid, I don't believe that a mere Lu Bu with thousands of tired soldiers can defeat my Karasuma, a hundred thousand men who can control the strings!"

"Then bring out these 100,000 people who control strings, and let me see if I, the general, are qualified to scare me away!" Chen Mo said coldly: "Get out!"

"Please!" Dian Wei waved his hand and motioned for the guards to come forward and bring them away with the hooded craftsman.

"I hope your Majesty will not regret it!" The messenger put on his hood and left chattering.

"Lord, if they really hand over Tadun, will our army really retreat?" Watching the envoy leave, Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo doubtfully. Although the main force was not mobilized this time, all the cavalry under Chen Mo's command were mobilized, plus Han Qiong. The Jizhou Army over there has more than 50,000 troops on the expedition. If Cao Cao ends such a large battle, he will always feel unhappy.

"Do you think that even if the Shanyu agrees, Tadun will sit back and wait for death?" Chen Mo smiled disdainfully: "After Qiu Liju died, he served as a Shanyu for a period of time. If Su Puyan and Nanlou hadn't led his troops to serve, Lou Ban is the Shanyu, and Karasuma's Shanyu is still him. How can such a person sit still and wait for death? If Lou Ban really takes action against Tadun, then it would be best. Karasuma will inevitably fall into civil strife, and our army can just do it. Take the opportunity to attack Bailang Mountain."

"So, my lord has no intention of peace talks at all!" Dian Wei suddenly said.

"How is that possible? As long as they can do what I just said, I will definitely withdraw my troops. A man must keep his word." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Then what happens next?" Dian Wei asked.

"Fengxian's display of power can be said to have made a great contribution. Han Qiong's side has also begun to engage in battle with the Karasuma people. This is when our army leaves Lulong Village and reaches Liucheng. Get ready to go out!" Chen Mo smiled.

Lu Bu has already made Wuwan people miserable, and then the four generals Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu should also be dispatched.

"Here!" Dian Wei was overjoyed and immediately went to give the order.

On that day, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu each led their troops from Lulong Village. Chen Mo also led Dian Wei and led 3,000 infantry from Feilong Village.

Nine thousand cavalry came out from Lulong Village in a mighty manner, following the example of Lu Bu. Whenever they encountered Hu tribes along the way, they immediately led their troops to encircle and suppress them. Zhao Yun's talent gradually became apparent. When it comes to cavalry warfare, Zhao Yun is really good. If these cavalrymen under his command can work together for another two years, even if they are not as good as Lu Bu, they should not lose much.

"Lord, why are you laughing?" On the carriage, looking at Chen Mo holding the bamboo slips and laughing, Dian Wei also grinned, and then asked.

"God bless our army, another general has emerged this time." Chen Mo looked at the bamboo slips, he was really happy: "I was worried that after this battle, Ziyi alone would not be able to take care of everything here in Youzhou, but now it is Don’t worry anymore.”

Chen Mo has always attached great importance to the northern border area. He placed Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, and Taishi Ci, the most capable generals under his command, in order to deter the barbarians. However, the border of Youzhou is too vast, so There is a large area that is not defended by the Great Wall. Although Lu Bu has been assigned to guard Bingzhou and Taishi Ci to guard Youzhou, they still feel that it is not enough. Now that there is an extra Zhao Zilong to intimidate the border, it is enough. How can you be unhappy.
