(Thanks to "Zhao Wuxiu 2014", "Tiger Master Not Confused" continues to reward.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In front of a huge white dome tent with a martened tartan and a beast flying with a horned beast, Ma Han met Ke Bineng, a central Xianbei man. Ke Bineng, who was engraved with the unique warrior complex of the grassland people, saw Ma Han, and did not mind the honor of his identity at all. He laughed and walked forward to hug him.
Ma Han smiled so much that he was hugging him more enthusiastically than Ke Bineng, and he also opened his arms and hugged him back enthusiastically. However, he only dared to use force on his left arm, and his right arm just touched Ke Bineng's back and pretended to behave. This arm had too much lethality, and it might turn into an assassination incident.
"Slaughtering the bare hands is a real warrior!" Ke Bi Neng looked excited and then walked side by side with Ma Han intimately, constantly introducing to the masters of the tribes who came out of the tent to greet him.
In fact, Ma Han slaughtered the walnut with bare hands, which is certainly commendable, but what really made these heroes of the grassland awe was his three formations retreating to the Xianbei by the side of Rushui; and at the foot of the small branch mountain, he broke Wuwan with one blow. However, these things that swept away their own faces were inconvenient to be disclosed, so what everyone praised was his slaughter of walnut.
In Kebineng's tent, which was as wide as a blue court, covered with a pure white and thick blanket and was hung with various gold jewelry on the wall, Ma Han met many wealthy chiefs of the Xianbei and Wuwan tribes, including many acquaintances: Wuwan Zuoguli King Louban; Fu Luohan, the Xianbei Jianti tribe's elders, and his son Xue Gui Ni; the Xianbei Kebineng's younger brother Zhuluhou; Shamohan, son of the Xianbei Jueji, the Liaodong vassal state; Cheng Lugui, the younger brother of the Xianbei Suli of the Liaoxi Xianbei; Su Puyan, the king of Wuwan, the king of Wuyan, who was one of the three counties; and the king of Youshe hou of Wuyan, the king of Wuyan's army, and so on.
Although the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people belong to the same branch of the Donghu branch, they are not the same tribe. They often conquer each other and loot each other is common. However, this is the case on the grassland. After the battle, you can sit down and drink. There are no eternal friends, and there are no unresolved feuds. When you don’t fight, you are still friends. If you have any major sacrifices, you will also send envoys to celebrate.
Ma Han has always had a smile on his face. Even if he met his former opponent, he was like a scattered man. When he met his capable ministers, he still had no different faces and was free to greet him. The former gang boss was full of temperament. Ma Han was handsome, and his smile was sunny and his conversation was calm. Except for the two scattered men, who left a psychological shadow because of his bravery, the other tribe chiefs were happy to talk and laugh with him.
The brothers Tian Yu and the Yan family were also welcomed by the rich chiefs. Only in this place where the wealthy chiefs of various tribes gathered, did they find that the status and reputation of the Yan brothers were quite extraordinary: many tribe leaders kept bowing and greeting the two and offered gifts; the brothers of Yan were also constantly returning the favors, smiling and seemingly familiar with everyone. Later, Ke Bineng, who was the master, even invited the two brothers into the seat, and his position was opposite to the captain Xing Ju of Huwuwan, and even adjacent to the rich chiefs. While Ma Han sat in the lower head, almost close to the tent.
It doesn't matter where the horse man sits. He is not a distinguished guest of the Xianbei people, and he doesn't expect him to be warm and warm. But his position is diagonally opposite Kebi Neng, and is in the middle of the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people sitting around on both sides. Such a seating arrangement is a bit subtle.
Tian Yu, who was standing beside him, whispered: "The Xianbei people seem to have bad intentions."
Ma Han calmly drank butter and bit the mutton, and said in a vague way: "To put it bluntly, we are here to negotiate. It would be nice if the Xianbei people had a good face. Do you still expect them to welcome us from the bottom of their hearts?"
Tian Yu glanced at the seats of the Yan brothers with some dissatisfaction and said, "The Xianbei people are too rude. They actually let Yan Ruoshui, Yan Zikun Zhongkun sit opposite the envoy Xing, and Yan Zhongkun is so relieved... It's really strange. With Yan Zhongkun's agility, how could he not see Xing Jun's expression unhappy?"
When Ma Han heard Tian Yuyi's words, his eyes swept across the red faces of the Yan brothers, and then glanced at Xing Ju's faint expression, and couldn't help but ponder. However, the Xianbei people did not give him a chance to think and began to attack.
The first person to speak was the Lord of the Jianti tribe who had suffered a lot of losses. "Master Ma, I want to know why you attacked the people of our tent for no reason?"
Although the spokesperson for the decision was Tian Yu, he rushed straight to him, and Fu Luohan's identity was extraordinary. Ma Han responded personally: "Mr. Fu Luohan doesn't know that it is not because of the attack on the initiative, but because of your subordinate's tent, it is because of the provocation of the first provocation."
"What! You..." Fu Luohan was furious and thought there was no evidence of death, so he bit him back.
Ma Han made a quiet gesture and said calmly: "A Han escaped slaves fled to the Hange tribe to seek asylum. How could Han bear to keep people from the same tribe from the door and let them be whipped and killed by wantonly? Naturally, he had to lend a helping hand, so he would clash with your account. It is necessary to remind you that the place where the conflict occurred was on the territory of my Hange tribe. Therefore, I have reason to think that your account was the first to launch a provocation."
Ma Han's words were reasonable and concise, which made the Xianbei people stunned. Tian Yu even applauded secretly, and the generals spoke no less than himself. If he hadn't been worried that the party would be in a stalemate, it would be better for the generals to negotiate.
Fu Luohan was furious: "I don't care who provoked first. I only know that all my burials were destroyed by you, my burials were captured, and their property was taken away. How do you explain it?"
Ma Han couldn't help but point at Fu Luohan with the leftover sheep bones and laughed: "Explanation? Lord Fu Luohan is not drunk too much, right? On the Mobei grassland, today you will be strong and eat me, tomorrow I will be strong and I will swallow you, and the best will be natural. Why do you need to explain to whom? The reason why your Jianti tribe has become one of the powerful tribes on this grassland is that you don't know how many tribes you have annexed, and who have you explained to?"
When the Yan brothers heard the horoscope of "Food Competing for Heaven, the Stage of the Tough", they were shocked and felt something, and they almost couldn't help but applaud. After hearing this, Xing Ju also nodded, smiling without saying a word. A group of Xianbei and Wuwan people also nodded frequently, making Fu Luohan's face swollen like a pig's liver and almost furious.
As the master, Ke Bi Neng naturally had to smooth things over: "The Marquis of Zhuluo does not need to be angry, this matter is a misunderstanding. Now that he invited the Ma Master to come, he wanted to discuss how to properly resolve the matter so that there will be no more swords and wars on the grassland, and women and children cry. What does the Ma Master think?"
Ma Han said simply and concisely: "There is no matter how far a thousand miles come, so that's why."
Ke Bineng smiled and said, "Okay, there is envoy Xing here today, and there are Zhongkun, a member of the Yan family who is known for justice and the masters of various tribes. You can make your own requests. Please judge whether it is reasonable or not. How about it?"
Ma Han and Fu Luohan are all right.
Fu Luohan immediately said, "If I don't pursue the matter, I must return the subordinates and property of the four tribes that were annexed by our tribes, and I must also compensate the cattle, sheep, valley and millet according to the number of people killed our tribes. I will not deceive you. This is the usual rule in Mobei. Also, if there are any fugitive slaves who will fall in love with you in the future, the Hange tribe will not be allowed to take them in at will, and it must be returned to our tribe."
The capable minister of Wuwan Uyan tribe arrived and shouted, "The affairs of our tribe should be handled accordingly."
Want to get something that cannot be obtained on the battlefield at the negotiating table? Ma Han sneered in his heart and winked at Tian Yu.
Tian Yu nodded and also offered the conditions for the Hange tribe: "The conditions for our tribe were also told to Zuo Xuhou of Wuyan tribe that Han slaves would be exchanged one-on-one, and the rest would not be considered."
The conditions between the two sides are too different, so how can we continue to negotiate?
Fu Luohan slapped the table and roared: "In this desert grassland, you dare not follow the rules of the grassland!"
Ma Han also slapped the table, his voice louder than Fu Luohan: "Don't think I don't understand the rules of the grassland! Who is your rule targeting? This is the rule of the winner against the loser! Have you defeated? Am I defeated?"
Fu Luohan rolled his eyes when he was choked. His son came to the door with three hundred elite cavalry. As a result, all three formations were lost, and the most famous warrior among the three tribes was killed. The rest of the world was in chaos. Where did he win?
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Yan Rou hurriedly stood up to smooth things over: "You guys are at ease, please listen to Rou's words. Why not take a step back and reopen the conditions?"
Xing Ju also came forward to arbitration at Ke Bineng's request: "Each step back and do not hurt the harmony."
Among all the people present, only Xing Ju's identity was enough to suppress the quarrels and urge both sides to give in. As for the other wealthy chiefs, one was afraid of Ma Han's reputation, and the other was that it was inconvenient to put pressure on Xing Ju's presence, but there was no doubt that they were definitely on the side of the Xianbei people and the Wuwan people.
Since Ma Han has come, of course he is mentally prepared to make a step back. The so-called negotiation is to compromise with each other. If no one is willing to give in, then what negotiation is needed? Just set up a formation and start a fight? Although the Xianbei and the Wuwan people are powerful, they also know that this young man is not easy to mess with. They are not ordinary in fighting and fighting in one group. The Hu people are hard but not soft, and they are not convinced. In addition, the Hu Muwan leader and the Yan Zhongkun arbitrate, so they are reluctant to take a step back.
After some debate and bargaining, Yan Rou came up with a compromise plan: First, the Hange tribe returned some of the prisoners (mostly young and strong), and even if the property was spoiled, the Xianbei and the three counties of Wuhuan agreed to the Hange tribe to establish the tent; Second, the Hange tribe built the tent and grazing place was south of Rushui, and without permission, it was not allowed to cross the river to reach the north bank, and it was not allowed to attack the tent at will; Third, the Hange tribe only accepted the dispatch of the Huwuwan Captain. If there was any conflict with each tribe, the envoy sent by the Huwuwan Captain and the Xianbei master Ke Bineng in the middle of the tribes could be mediated; Fourth, according to the rules of the grassland, a new tent tribe could be established, and the Xianbei tribes would receive congratulations from various tribes. Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes would send several congratulatory gifts to show sincerity.
Ma Han was quite satisfied with the fourth article. This was actually a disguised compromise of the exchange conditions he proposed before. It was just a gift to give it to the Xianbei and the Wuwan people. In addition to the above four major principles, there are many specific small clauses, such as the demarcation of pastoral boundaries, the scope of migration, transactions with various ministries, and the handling of disputes with neighboring ministries, etc. These matters were all left to Tian Yu to discuss.
The negotiations went smoothly, and the Mahan and Xianbei people who had settled their worries were laughing and touching the bowl with laughter, without any indication of how they were about to draw their swords just now.
Ma Han was used to this trick of turning against each other and flirting with books, and his mentality was very natural to change, but some Xianbei and Wuwan people could not turn around in a row, especially Ma Han's previous tough attitude made them very unhappy. If Ma Han had not had the heart-to-heart record of Tu Xiao's terrifying battle, I would have probably had rows of Hu warriors coming forward to challenge it. However, Ma Han's reputation scared most people, but there were still a small group of people who did not believe in evil.
When the negotiations were coming to an end, Ma Han was about to get up and leave, a Xianbei man with a low figure but an unusually stout body walked over with heavy steps and stood in front of Ma Han. This man's abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tent.
Xing Ju glanced at Zhuluo Hou in displeasure and said, "Zhuluo Hou, what does this mean?"
Xing Ju saw it clearly that this strong Xianbei man was the personal guard of Juluohou, the younger brother of Ke Bineng, so he asked this question.
The Jou Luohou yelled and said, "This is the warrior Luo Bang under my tent. He is a friend of life and death with Butu. He probably is angry with Butu's death, so he asked the Mama Commander for advice."
Xing Ju didn't know who Butuo was. After asking around, he realized that he was the number one warrior of the Jianti tribe. He was killed by Ma Han's heart by the side of Rushui. He was frightened and did not allow him to interfere. As long as this kind of revenge on the grassland is a fair one-on-one contest, no one has the right to interfere.
Tian Yu was about to block Ma Han, but was gently pushed away. Ma Han made a "safe" gesture to the young deputy, and sat upright, glancing the slanting Luobang, saying, "What advice does this warrior have?"
Luobang's voice was as unpleasant as his appearance, and he shouted loudly: "Budou is my brother. You killed him, and with such cruel means, if I, Luobang, don't pay his blood debt for him, his soul will not be peaceful - I want to challenge you!"
The big tent was quiet for a while, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ma Han. Except for a few people, most of them were full of excitement.
Ma Han smiled and said, "It's so loyal to avenge your brothers! But, are you sure you can get revenge? Don't put yourself in it. If you lose, it's not just being dug. According to the rules, everything you have to belong to me."
Ma Han's words immediately caused Lobang to wrestle. There were unwritten regulations for the challenges between the warriors on the grassland. Those who lost had to leave everything, including their family and property, to the winners. On that day, Ma Han killed the Xianbei warriors in the third formation, even if the two armies were in front of the formation, they still stripped the losers of armor and weapons. At that time, the three hundred Xianbei cavalry could only watch and dare not stop them because of this rule.
Now if it is a one-on-one fight between the two, then the loser will lose more than just life and property.
Luobang and Butu are indeed excellent brothers, but he can become the close guard of Zhuluohou, and he is not a brainless person. Butuo's bravery is still above him. How could he kill the Butuo man with one blow? If the master Zhuluohou had not repeatedly secretly ordered the orders, if he had not seen that Marhan's image was too contrasted with the image of a giant man in his imagination, Luobang would never dare to come forward to provoke. Even so, after all, Marhan's reputation was too high, and if he lost, the price would be too high, and Luobang would still hesitate.
Ma Han also wanted to give all the malicious people a warning in front of the chiefs of Zhuhu Hao, but he didn't want to make it too bloody. He smiled at Luobang and stretched out his hand: "Not everyone is qualified to challenge me. Try your wrist strength first."
Luo Bang was overjoyed. He was arrogant and worried that Ma Han was good at skill and was light and hard to hit, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to compare wrist strength. Haha! Look at his arm muscles, which is a circle smaller than himself. Even if he has resilience, how can he be stronger?
Luobang immediately stretched out his hand and held it with Ma Han.
Ma Han used a standard handshake method, and naturally used his right hand. When both sides tied their hands, they held it tightly. Ma Han's face was as usual, and Luobang's face became wonderful: first it was red, then it was ashen, then it was pale, and finally it turned into a dead gray with a loud bang...
The grip of Mahan's robot hand was half a ton, and even a piece of pig iron would be pinched and deformed, let alone a flesh-and-blood hand. With the five fingers closed, Luobang's right hand was broken into bones. He raised it casually and threw Luobang to the short table in front of Zhuluohou, and the cup of butter paste splashed Zhuluohou's face and body.
The people in the entire tent were shocked and lost their voices. Ma Han greeted Ke Bineng, Xing Ju and the Hu Haoqiu, and left with Tian Yushi.
Chapter completed!
