On the third day of May, envoys sent by the Nu and Maoxi tribes among the twelve tribes in Xiye arrived in the capital of Xiye.
Except for the Zhidu tribe to which King Xiye belongs, the Nu tribe and the Maoxi tribe are the two most powerful tribes in Xiye, occupying six cities in the western border of Xiye.
Since the death of King Gao Mihe of Xiye, these two clans have been watching the situation in Xiye... Until now, Xiye's decline step by step is almost the general trend, and these two clans finally can't stand it any longer. . As soon as they heard that Xiao Yi had returned to Xiye Capital from southern Xinjiang, they immediately sent envoys over.
Fu Yunhe personally went to the city gate to greet the envoys and welcomed them into the palace.
All the guards and entourages in the envoy team were left at the palace gate. Only two envoys, representing the Nu and Maoxi tribes respectively, were able to go to the Chaoyang Palace to meet Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai.
The two envoys looked around calmly. The Chaoyang Palace was still magnificent and magnificent. Everything seemed like yesterday. However, the person sitting at the top had changed. He was no longer King Gao Mi of the Western Night. He was a young man in purple robe who had just grown up and looked pretty. He rested his elbow lazily on the armrest, and his expression was a bit careless, but it made people dare not underestimate him.
The two envoys seemed calm and composed, but in fact they were worried.
Although they had never met Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai before, they were very familiar with these two people. At a glance, they guessed that the purple-robed young man sitting at the top must be Xiao Yi, the crown prince of Dayu Zhennan.
The young man at the bottom, wearing a moon-white robe and dressed like a Confucian scholar, is naturally——
That official language is white.
The two envoys exchanged glances quickly and thought calmly: Judging from the seats of the two people, it is obvious that Xiao Yi is the master and Guan Yubai is the minister. After all, Guan Yubai is Guan Yubai. Without him, how could Xiao Yi's Southern Xinjiang Army capture Xiye!
The two of them calmed down, bowed with the etiquette of Xiye, saluted Xiao Yi respectfully, and said one after another:
"The Limo of the Nu tribe..."
"Maosi Oda..."
"Come here to greet my new Lord Xiye as ordered by the clan leader!"
After the two of them finished speaking, the hall was silent for a moment. After a moment, a clear male voice was heard saying lazily: "There is no need to send greetings. I will not accept anything except a letter of surrender."
Xiao Yi's words made the two envoys feel more and more uneasy, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
I had heard that Xiao Yi was unruly, but I didn’t expect that he was so arrogant!
The two glanced at each other again, followed by Li Mozhi, the "bearded man" on the left, looked at Xiao Yi with a smile, and tactfully said: "The two patriarchs specially ordered us to come to see Prince Xiao. I don't know what Prince Xiao is about." What are my plans for the future in Xiye?"
Actually, what Li Mozhi wanted to ask was whether Xiao Yi would ascend the throne and become king. However, Xiao Yi was also the Crown Prince of Dayu Zhennan. If he bluntly said "enthroned", it seemed to mean that the other party had the intention of treason.
"Western Night?!"
Xiao Yi's sarcastic sneer suddenly sounded in the hall, echoing in the ears of the two envoys like muffled thunder, making them tremble.
Sitting on a large mahogany high-backed chair, Xiao Yi looked at the two men with a half-smile, and declared arrogantly: "The Western Night is gone! This land is the territory of my Zhennan Palace! ”
What does Prince Xiao mean? ! The two envoys were shocked and filled with doubts. They became more and more confused about what Xiao Yi meant.
The two of them subconsciously raised their eyes to look at Guan Yubai on the side, trying to figure out something from his brows and eyes, but Guan Yubai's expression did not change at all, he was still so leisurely and indifferent, holding tea in both hands. He drank tea slowly from the cup, obviously not intending to interfere.
But it also verified their previous guess——
Here, or rather, Xiao Yi is in charge of Xiye, not Guan Yubai!
Envoy Aoda took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard Xiao Yi continue slowly: "Just like Baiyue and Nanliang!"
This last sentence was sonorous and powerful, like a thunderclap on the ground.
For a moment, there was silence all around. The two envoys almost forgot to breathe and their eyes widened in disbelief. Both of them stared blankly at Xiao Yi, as if their bodies were instantly frozen, standing still like stone sculptures.
Xiye, Baiyue, Nanliang... plus Dayu Nanjiang.
Has the power of Zhennan Palace expanded to this point? !
It was only at this moment that the two envoys suddenly realized that it turned out that when Guan Yubai led the Southern Xinjiang Army to attack from the southern border of Xiye, he did not take advantage of Nanliang, but Nanliang had already been captured by the Southern Xinjiang Army!
Does Emperor Dayu know this? !
The answer naturally emerged in the minds of the two envoys. Of course I don’t know. How could others be allowed to snore on the side of the bed? How could Emperor Dayu allow the power of the Zhennan Palace to expand to this extent!
The more the two envoys thought about it, the more frightened they became. Prince Xiao had unknowingly integrated Nanjiang, Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye behind Emperor Dayu's back. In other words, he was now with Dayu. A large area of land bordering Yu's southern border, southwest border and western border is the territory of Zhennan Palace!
Just by drawing this rough map in their minds, the two envoys couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and almost felt weak in the knees.
This situation was completely beyond their expectations!
The strength of Zhennan Palace is twice, no, three times stronger than they estimated!
No wonder Prince Xiao just dared to say that he would not accept anything except a letter of surrender!
He is not arrogant, but because he is strong enough to defy everything.
Then it is probably impossible for his two clans to become independent!
With Prince Xiao’s ambition to swallow up Baiyue and Nanliang, he will never give up until all the twelve tribes of Xiye surrender under his knees!
Before the two envoys arrived, the heads of the two clans had already discussed various possible situations, one of which was to submit a letter of surrender and surrender to Xiao Yi.
It seems that they have no choice now!
After Ao Da collected his thoughts, he smiled kindly and said: "Prince Xiao is right, there is no more Western Night, there is only the Western Region!"
Before the late King Xiye unified the twelve tribes, they were collectively known as the "Western Regions". This Xiye only existed for a few decades.
Ao Da quickly continued: "The patriarch of our clan heard that Prince Xiao is wise, martial, brave and good at fighting, and is really a natural overlord. Our Maoxi tribe is willing to serve the prince as the leader... and please the prince to follow the rules of our Western Region for thousands of years. According to tradition, we accept concubines from the palace and choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne. We, the Maoxi people, swear to follow the crown prince!"
Li Mozhi was afraid that he would say it too late, so he hurriedly bowed his head and echoed: "The same goes for the Wunu people."
Fu Yunhe on the side was speechless. He had long heard of the custom of "announcement of marriage" in Xiye, but they dared to say such nonsense in front of their eldest brother Xiao Yi. Was this because they were in trouble or had cramps? Bar? !
Who in the Southern Xinjiang Army doesn’t know that the most important thing for eldest brother Xiao Yi is his concubine and his grandson. These people from Xiye came to discuss peace without first asking about eldest brother’s temperament. Sure enough, they were using their toes. Thinking? !
Fu Yunhe didn't know whether to despise them or sympathize with them.
But Xiaosi, who was behind Guan Yubai, felt a little gloating in his heart. Finally, someone came to "disgust" this Prince Xiao! Deserve it!
"Hey——"
Xiao Yi suddenly sighed quietly, feeling that his temper had gotten much better since he had a wife and children. If only two years earlier, the two of them might not have even had the chance to finish their conversation!
Xiao Yi raised the corners of his lips, smiled brightly, and said unhurriedly: "I hate other people negotiating terms with me the most!"
"Prince Xiao, please don't misunderstand..." Li Mozhi said hurriedly.
"No need to say more!" Xiao Yi was too lazy to say more to them. He waved his hand impatiently and said forcefully in an unchangeable tone, "Either surrender or fight. I will give you three days to think it over carefully. Come and reply to me again!"
As soon as he said "Come here", several soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army entered the hall. Fu Yunhe approached the two envoys with a smile, stretched out his hands to them in an "invitation" gesture, "Two Sir, don’t make it difficult for the general to do his job!”
"..." The two envoys were dumbfounded and couldn't react for a while.
Since ancient times, it has always been good for marriages to have two surnames. This is not only possible in Dayu, but also in their Western Regions. Therefore, the queen of Xiye King Gaomihe is from the Nu tribe, and the noble concubine is from the Maoxi tribe. ... Marrying a wife and having a concubine is all for the sake of power!
Among the twelve tribes in Xiye, "announcement of marriage" has been an old custom for thousands of years. This means that the good relationship between the two tribes will not end just because the chief of the tribe passes away first. The new chief of the tribe will continue to maintain this relationship. Old love.
Two generations of Western Night Kings have always respected this old custom.
The reason why the two envoys made this proposal was that they hoped that Xiao Yi would accept the queen and concubines to fill the harem. In this way, when Xiao Yi pacified the twelve clans and became the queen, the status of the two clans would be stable.
Besides, this matter is of great benefit and no harm to Xiao Yi!
The Nu tribe and the Mao Xi tribe are the two most powerful tribes among the remaining tribes in Xiye. Once they surrender, the other small tribes who are still waiting and watching will not hesitate anymore...
Originally, the clan leader sent them here for peace talks at this time because they were worried that Guan Yubai would hold a grudge against them, Xiye, which would be detrimental to the peace talks. Unexpectedly, Prince Xiao was not as easy to talk to as Guan Yubai, and he actually refused to negotiate at all. room!
How can this be called peace talks? Forced surrender is not enough?
Li Mozhi's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say something else to turn the tide, but Fu Yunhe was already in front of him, and the smile on the baby's face turned cold. The two envoys did not dare to say anything more, just Neng retreated first, comforting himself: At least Xiao Yi asked them to think about it instead of driving them out of the capital directly!
As the two envoys left, the hall became quiet again.
Guan Yubai stayed out of everything from beginning to end and drank tea with a smile. It is most convenient to handle this kind of thing with Xiao Yi's method, so as not to leave some people with unnecessary fantasies!
Looking at the envoy leaving, Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and asked casually: "Xiaobai, is the daughter of Marquis Pingyang staying in the eastern suburbs?"
Just now I heard the envoy talking about King Xiye's concubine, which reminded Xiao Yi of Dayu's princess Qu Jiayue. Marquis Pingyang, who is still a "guest" in Luoyue City, once asked him to take his daughter back to Dayu. Since Marquis Pingyang knows her, Xiao Yi doesn't mind fulfilling his little wish. It's just a piece of cake anyway...
"Not bad." Guan Yubai nodded slightly and put down the tea cup. The fingers of his right hand trembled slightly on the edge of the saucer and he put it into his sleeve without leaving a trace.
Originally, he planned to send Qu Jiayue back to Dayu, but she refused to leave, so she was sent to the eastern suburbs palace for confinement along with the other wives and concubines of King Xiye.
Xiao Yi touched his chin and said: "Then send two people to send her to Luoyue City to Marquis Pingyang..."
Having finished speaking, Xiao Yi suddenly stood up and strode out of the palace, his eyes shining...
After Guan Yubai was stunned for a moment, he immediately guessed who was coming.
Sure enough, outside the hall, a slender figure wearing a plum-red flower-carved silk jacket was walking towards this side unhurriedly. Who else could it be if it wasn't Nangong Yue? !
Little Si's ears suddenly twitched, as if he heard something, and he looked keenly in the direction of the side hall behind him.
The next moment, a childish voice was heard coming from that direction: "Daddy..."
The chubby little guy ran out staggeringly on his short legs. He had been playing with Baihui in the side hall for almost an hour, and he had been stamping his seal there. Eventually, the little guy felt so bored that he threw away the jade seal and ran out to find his father.
He wants his father to play with him, he wants Xiao Hui, he wants Han Yu...
Who would have thought that he would not see his father when he came out.
Daddy left him behind? !
This realization made the little guy pout in frustration and look at Guan Yubai, "Father...Daddy..."
Seeing the little guy's eyes filled with tears, Xiaosi kindly pointed him in the direction: "Your mother is here!" A flash of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.
Of course the little guy understood the word "mother", and he burst into laughter all of a sudden, jumping on his legs excitedly and ran over, "Mother! Mother..."
Little Xiao Yu held on to the door leaf and struggled to step out of the threshold, but had no chance to go down the stone steps. Nangong Yue had already walked closer.
"Brother Yu, did you have fun with your dad?" Nangong Yue squatted down and asked with a smile while adjusting the little guy's clothes out of habit.
The little guy put his hands on Nangong Yue's shoulders in grievance. He still remembered the grievance that he couldn't find his father when he came out just now, so he complained pitifully: "Dad... is bad!"
As he said that, Xiao Tuanzi glared at Xiao Yi with his big wet eyes, as if to say, Daddy is the worst!
Feng Xing, who was lying on the eaves, secretly agreed: No, my little grandson, your father almost found a whole family of stepmothers for you. This father is really bad! ...But this Xiye is really a barbarian, and he actually talks about "Hang announcing marriage" so confidently? !
Thinking about it, Feng Xing almost sympathized with his young master. It was not easy to stay in such a ghost place and educate the barbarians!
Xiao Yi's entire handsome face turned dark, and he glared at Xiao Yu fiercely. This brat! I will file a complaint with his mother!
However, Xiao Yi had long been able to cope with this kind of situation. He immediately took out a gilt bell hung with a red string from his belt, squatted down in front of the little guy, and shook the bell.
"Ding Bell——"
The bell made a crisp sound.
There were many bells among Xiao Yu's toys in Bixiaotang, but this carefully crafted bell attracted his attention immediately.
He looked at the bell that was shining golden in the sun. The bell, which was no bigger than his fist, was made into a golden cat head. It was so cute.
The little guy couldn't bear to blink when he saw it. He instinctively stretched out his claws to grab it, shouting: "Meow meow——"
Xiao Yi deliberately took the cat bell back a little, then looked at the little meat dumpling with a smile and asked: "Daddy, how are you?"
The little guy had long forgotten all his old grudges. He stared at the cat bell with burning eyes and said without thinking: "Hello, Daddy!" Give him the little orange!
"Ding Bell——"
Xiao Yi gave the cat bell to the little guy and smiled brightly at Nangong Yue, as if to say, Yue, look, I am a good father!
Looking at the father and son, Nangong Yue had already smiled until her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.
Although A Yi always disliked their brother Yu, it was A Yi who loved him the most. A Yi would remember to prepare gifts for their little guy wherever he went.
In the palace, under the warm sunshine, hearty laughter continued, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful. However, the envoys who were expelled from the palace were not the same!
For the next three days, the two envoys and other members of the envoy team stayed temporarily in the inn in the capital. They were not allowed to go out and no one paid attention to them.
It wasn't until three days later, on the morning of the sixth day of May, that twenty or thirty soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army came and forcefully ushered them out of the capital.
The two envoys asked to see Xiao Yi again, but received no response. What responded to them was tens of thousands of soldiers from the Southern Xinjiang Army on standby outside the capital. It was so dark that there was no end in sight.
Is this...
Both envoys guessed something, and their faces were so pale that there was no trace of blood.
Fu Yunhe sat astride a tall horse, looked at them with a smile and said: "The prince said that the two adults may not be able to come up with any results if they continue to think about it, so he specifically ordered the general to send them back to the city. !"
What return to the city? ! This is to send troops to the west to conquer the Nu and Maoxi tribes! The two envoys felt as cold as ice.
Led by Fu Yunhe, tens of thousands of Southern Xinjiang troops approached Handa City directly where the leader of the Nu tribe lived. Three days later, the army had already reached the city.
Fu Yunhe also "kindly" sent the Nu envoy Li Mozhi back to Handa City, while tens of thousands of southern Xinjiang troops stood in silence three miles away from Handa City to demonstrate.
On the day of Limo, I met the clan leader Nuraqi, and naturally reported everything he saw and heard in the palace to the clan leader.
Nurazi's face was gloomy and he didn't speak for a long time. He sent envoys to the capital, of course with the intention of surrender, and did not expect that the peace talks with Zhennan Palace could be achieved overnight. After all, based on the current situation in Xiye, no, or in the Western Region, anyone can see that Xiao It was only a matter of time before Yi conquered the entire Western Region.
He and the Maoxi clan chief wanted to take the opportunity of peace talks to show their goodwill to the prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi, and try their best to fight for the interests of their two clans!
What I didn’t expect was that Prince Xiao would be so domineering and arbitrary, leaving no room for negotiation at all...
Nuraqi's face was extremely heavy and he remained silent for a long time, so that the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn. Finally, a tall and powerful man couldn't help but said: "Chief, this Xiao Yi is really bullying people. ! We sincerely negotiated peace with him, but he ignored etiquette and rules..."
The big man still wanted to complain, but Nuraqi raised his hand to stop him, his face as dark as water.
The hall was silent for another moment, and Nuraqi said: "Xiao Yi is not joking, nor is he playing hard to get. His attitude is very clear, either surrender or fight..."
Xiao Yidu sent tens of thousands of southern Xinjiang troops to the city. Obviously, he will never give anyone a chance to bargain!
This Xiao Yi is really ruthless!
As an opponent, this person is infuriating and frightening, but as the Lord of the Western Regions...
Nuraqi couldn't help but think of Baiyue, Nanliang, and the past Xiye... Maybe Zhennan Palace can capture Xiye not only because of Guan Yubai's achievements, but also because of Xiao Yi and He goes hand in hand.
There is an old saying in the Central Plains: The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
A single Guan Yubai has been a nightmare that has haunted Xiye in his homeland for more than ten years. Coupled with Xiao Yi, the hegemonic prince of Zhennan, joining forces, no one can stop them!
Nuraqi suddenly stood up, took a deep breath, and ordered: "Pass this order from the leader of the clan..."
Several people in the hall have followed him for many years, and they have sensed something from his expression and tone. Sure enough——
"We, the Nu tribe, are willing to surrender to Prince Xiao unconditionally!"
In one sentence, it means that Handa City and two other cities belonging to the Nu people officially surrendered to the Southern Xinjiang Army!
Fu Yunhe received a letter of surrender from the Nu tribe in the morning. Before he could order his troops to go to the Maoxi tribe, the letter of surrender sent by the leader of the Maoxi tribe also arrived, only half a day apart!
After the two strongest and most powerful clans in Xiye surrendered, the other clans in Xiye also heard the news and followed them one by one for fear of being annihilated.
By mid-May, ten of the twelve Xiye clans had surrendered to the Zhennan Palace.
The situation in Xiye is stable.
