The Nameless of the Common Clans

The six Xianbei people stood awkwardly in the hall, looking at the young man sitting in the main seat. The other party's identity was obviously not ordinary. When did even the Han young men start to learn their language? Although it was a bit awkward, at least they could understand it.

"I need to know the purpose of your coming here. Is the grassland not enough for you to graze? Come to eat our crops." Chen Mo looked at these Xianbei people and said.

The six Xianbei people did not say anything, but just looked at Chen Mo silently.

Tsk~

Chen Mo rubbed his temple and said to Dian Wei: "Kill one casually, don't bleed, it will be troublesome to clean up later!"

"Yes!" Dian Wei heard the words, grinned, strode forward in the puzzled eyes of several Xianbei people, and pinched the head of a Xianbei man with a winnowing hand and twisted it in the astonished expression of his face.

"Ka Ba~"

With the sound of bone cracking that made people's teeth ache, the head of the Xianbei man twisted back strangely. The other five people screamed and stood up to resist, but were kicked to the ground by Dian Wei one by one.

"When facing someone's question, it's best to answer it. This is courtesy." Chen Mo looked at the few people and smiled.

"But we are not Han people, why should we observe your Han etiquette!" A Xianbei man said angrily.

"You are not even Han people, so you should observe etiquette. Only in this way can we treat you as friends. We Han people can distinguish between friends and enemies very clearly. Dian Wei..." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and pointed at the man.

"Yes!" Dian Wei understood, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to pinch the head of the Xianbei man. How could the other party give in? He hit Dian Wei's crotch and was knocked down by Dian Wei. His head hit the ground, his skull shattered, his brain burst, and he could never get up again.

For a while, the main hall of the government office was extremely silent. Not to mention the Xianbei people, even Sun Fang and others did not expect that this young governor had such a strong character, especially since the other party had a smile on his face from beginning to end, without any color change. Obviously, he was also used to life and death. The underestimated heart of Chen Mo disappeared in an instant.

"So, we Han people like to make friends, and enemies usually have no say." Chen Mo crossed his fingers, looked at the remaining four people and smiled: "Then are you willing to observe the etiquette of our Han family?"

"We are willing!" The four shuddered and bowed to Chen Mo in unison, with an extremely respectful attitude.

"Why are you here?" Chen Mo looked at the four people, still with a gentle smile on his face, making people feel like spring breeze, but at this moment, especially the two bodies that were not cold yet were still in the hall, the smile was a bit creepy.

A Xianbei said: "We don't know too much, but the headman said that he would graze here this year and bring us here."

"Where is their headman?" Chen Mo looked at Bao Geng and asked.

"He was shot and killed in the chaos." Bao Geng bowed.

"Then let's talk about the Xianbei tribes in Bingzhou in recent years. I need some valuable information. Useless captives are not qualified to survive. I hope you can understand." Chen Mo looked at the four people with some regret and said, "I don't like killing people."

After the four Xianbei captives looked at the corpses on the ground silently, they presented Chen Mo with the highest courtesy of the Xianbei. No matter what, saving their lives is important.

What is valuable information? Different positions naturally have different perspectives on the problem. The four Xianbei captives don't know what is valuable information, so they can only say some things they think are important.

Although the Xianbei people are different from the Han people in terms of loyalty, in the final analysis, they must be loyal to themselves first, then the tribe, and then the entire Xianbei ethnic group. It is similar to the Han family, the country and the world, but they don't have as many moral constraints as the Han family. When their own lives are endangered, it doesn't seem to be a shame to sell ethnic information.

In fact, just as Chen Mo had guessed before, when some Xianbei people were trading with the Han Dynasty, they noticed or heard that the Han Dynasty was now in decline, and wanted to take the opportunity to expand their territory here. After all, even if Bingzhou was exhausted, it was far more lush than most grasslands. Now that the Han Dynasty was weak and Bingzhou was under-defended, many weak Xianbei tribes wanted to move south for better development. After all, the current Xianbei royal court was not worthy of its name.

There was not much valuable information, but Chen Mo did not kill anyone again.

"My lord, do you want me to lead the cavalry to drive away these Xianbei people?" Bao Geng looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Not for the time being." Chen Mo shook his head and looked at Sun Fang standing aside and said, "General Sun."

"I am here!" Sun Fang stepped forward and bowed.

"General, you have been stationed at the border for a long time, and you are more familiar with the habits of the Hu people. Now Bingzhou is exhausted and the population is declining. I want to accept some Hu people to enrich the population of Bingzhou. Is it feasible?" Chen Mo looked at Sun Fang and asked.

Bingzhou is now considered to be a vast land with few people, so it is very suitable to carry out military farming here, but the most important thing is that the population problem cannot be solved, so Chen Mo has been planning to absorb the Xianbei and Xiongnu population to fill the Bingzhou plan since a long time ago.

"This may be a bit difficult." Sun Fang hesitated for a moment. He didn't know Chen Mo's character very well. The image of killing people just now was somewhat frightening.

"Just say it." Chen Mo smiled.

Sun Fang took a deep breath, bowed to Chen Mo and said: "I don't know what the envoy is planning, but the living habits and diet of the Hu people outside the Great Wall are different from those of the Han people. If I force them to naturalize, I am afraid it will be counterproductive."

Chen Mo nodded and said: "General, can you tell me the difference?"

Sun Fang saw that Chen Mo was not angry because his opinion was contrary to his. Instead, he thought seriously, and the worry in his heart became less worried. He bowed and said: "Not to mention the difference in words, even the people here probably don't understand them. What to say, and the Hu people make a living by herding and are accustomed to nomadic travel. It is difficult for them to settle down in one place like me, the Han people.

Moreover, both the Xianbei and the Xiongnu are incapable of reasoning. When they are short of food, they will most likely choose to rob them. If a large number of people are naturalized, and if they encounter a bad harvest, I am afraid... they will be prone to chaos. When they reach adulthood, All men can control the strings! "

To put it simply, these people themselves have good fighting power and are difficult to control and manage. Even if they can be naturalized in a group, they will definitely rebel once the survival materials are scarce!

Chen Mo nodded. This is indeed a problem, and it is not easy to solve. Many habits have been developed since childhood. It is difficult to distort their ideas now.

"I heard that this Hu woman is like a commodity, but is it true?" Chen Mo suddenly asked with a smile.

"Indeed, in the Hu land, most women can be traded. Therefore, when those barbarians go south, they will take women away as important goods." Sun Fang nodded.

"In other words, Hu women are actually relatively peaceful?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Most of them are like that." Sun Fang nodded.

Chen Mo nodded. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "General, please go and rest."

"Here!" Sun Fang bowed and turned to leave.

"Lord, do you want to clear out the Xianbei tribe in the territory?" Bao Geng looked at Chen Mo and asked after Sun Fang left.

"Intensify inspections. As long as they don't harm the people, don't move lightly for the time being. If they dare to mess around, kill them!" Chen Mo thought for a while.

At the moment, he didn't have a good grasp of the situation, but his idea of ​​recruiting people outside the fortress to solidify the frontier was not dispelled by Sun Fang's words. Weren't the Hun knights under Yufro's command also trained to be obedient?

"Go and inform the Yanmen Prefect that I will temporarily stay in Mayi to survey the terrain, so I will not go to the Yin Pavilion yet." Chen Mo came directly to Mayi when he came to Yanmen this time. The Yanmen Prefect is probably still waiting in the Yin Pavilion. .

"Here!" Bao Geng agreed, turned and left.

Chen Mo also stood up and said to Dian Wei: "Take a rest tonight, we will be very busy tomorrow!"

"Lord, do you want to go to war?" Dian Wei said excitedly.

"Now that we have less than a thousand troops in total, who are we going to fight?" Chen Mo glanced at him speechlessly and said, "Starting tomorrow, follow me to explore the surrounding terrain. I want to select sites and set up checkpoints to make it so easy for the barbarians. It’s not possible to kill him at the gate of Mayi City.”

The siege actually comes at the end of the battle. The construction of cities is usually on the main transportation roads. Some critical terrains require the establishment of checkpoints to block incoming enemies. Like this time, the Xianbei people went directly to the Mayi City to graze their cattle. They also took advantage of the fact that there were no How many defenders can be so rampant? Since he has decided to take over Yanmen, he must first stabilize the order of Yanmen. At least he cannot let the barbarians treat this place as a pasture. The army is behind and will arrive in a few days. Chen Mo needs to do it before that. , survey the terrain and determine how to arrange the border defense.

Dian Wei suddenly lost interest and agreed. After arranging the night guard, he went back to his room to rest.

Early the next morning, Chen Mo took his personal guards and asked Sun Fang for a few officials who were familiar with the surrounding terrain, and then went outside the city to survey the terrain.

"General, is this young envoy really that powerful?" Chen Mo left. Hao Jian did not leave after the defense, but looked at Sun Fang and asked.

"He is indeed very capable." Thinking about Chen Mo's performance in the government office before, and now, thinking about Chen Mo's gentle, handsome and kind face, Sun Fang felt a little chilly. He looked at Hao Jiandao: "Don't provoke me, otherwise If this envoy touches you, no one can save you."

"General, don't worry, I'm not stupid. I have nothing to do to provoke the envoy?" Hao Jian said a little speechlessly. If there is no conflict of interest, who would have nothing to do to provoke the immediate boss's boss's boss's boss?

"Bo Dao also joined the army?" Sun Fang nodded and changed the topic.

Bo Dao was not the son of Chen Mo, but the son of Hao Jian.

"Speaking of which, my son is about the same age as Shijun." Hao Jian nodded and said with a smile: "I don't like farming and studying, but I like to dance with swords and sticks, eh~"

"The world is in chaos. People like you and me need to gain fame immediately." Sun Fang said with a smile. It is not easy for people like them to have a good background. This chaotic world is not necessarily a bad thing for them.
