Chapter 395: Unscrupulous Horses
The queen of the Western Liao Emperor Ju'er Khan's name was Gu'er Bishu, this woman was not only extremely beautiful, but also scheming, and after she gave birth, the midwife whispered to her: "You can no longer have children." ”
Gu'er Bishu fainted like thunder, but she had to accept this harsh truth, and secretly swallowed the bitter fruit, despite the great reluctance in her heart. What kind of consequences will a woman, especially an emperor's concubine, bring to herself if she is unable to have children?
So Gu'er Bishu finally came up with a way, sent someone to buy green powder, and secretly put it into Ju'er Khan's rice. It is said that after people eat green powder, they can no longer have children, whether it is a man or a woman, from then on, Ju'er Khan can no longer make any woman pregnant, and Hun suddenly became the only princess of the king of Xiliao.
Qu Zhulu followed Princess Hun to the Western Liao Kingdom, saw Ju'er Khan and Gu'er comparing, was warmly entertained, and regarded him as his daughter's savior, and the King of Xiliao said to him: "You are the princess's savior, if you want, you can live with me for a long time." ”
Soon, Princess Hun Hu proposed to Ju'er Khan to marry Qu Qu Lu. In front of her father, Princess Hun Hu, who has always been the same, soon had a happy event with Qu Zhulu, and since then Qu Zhulu has become the concubine and confidant of Juer Khan of the Western Liao Kingdom.
At that time, Juer Khan ruled all the countries and regions of Turkestan and Khorzhong, and he had a large number of troops, armies, people, and land, and even Khorezm was his vassal state. After Qu Chulu and Princess Hun got married, they played all day long, toured the mountains and rivers together, and ate, drank and had fun everywhere. One night, Qu Chulu suddenly showed an unhappy look, and Princess Hun asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
She hurriedly stepped forward to ask, touched his forehead and said, "There's no heat on your head, what's wrong?"
After repeated interrogation, Qu told her: "This afternoon, I fell asleep in bed and had a dream that made me feel very uncomfortable. ”
"What kind of dream? Tell me what to say, and I can explain it for you. ”
"Forget it, if I say it, I'm afraid I'll upset you. ”
Hearing him say this, the princess immediately said, "Say, since we are husband and wife, we should share blessings and difficulties, how can I not be happy?"
Qu Zhulu said to her: "This dream is related to you, I said it, you have to help me, help me realize this dream." ”
Princess Hun immediately patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, you are not only my colt, but also my savior?"
Seeing that she was sincere, Qu Julu said slowly: "You already know that my father, Sun Khan, was forced to die on the Nahu Cliff by Genghis Khan of Mongolia. ”
"Yes, I know about it, is your dream related to the death of his old man?"
Qu Chulu nodded again and again and said: "Yes, people often say that what you think during the day is thought about at night, and dreams arise, and these days, I feel uncertain." ”
"Tell me, what is your dream?"
After listening to Princess Huhu's repeated urgings, Qu Chulu said: "I saw my father covered in blood, especially the blood on his face that was dripping with blood, and asked me loudly: You, an unfilial son, have forgotten all the hatred of the country and the family, the death of the father and the death of the mother?"
When the princess heard this, tears flowed down her eyes, and she hurriedly said, "How can we take revenge now? We have only been on our honeymoon for a short time, and I am ...... I can't bear to let you go. ”
When Qu Julu saw this, he hurriedly took the princess into his arms, kept it warm, wiped away her tears, and then said to her: "It has been a long time since I left my land, but my people will not forget me, and they will not forget the hatred of the country. Now Genghis Khan's army is fighting in the Central Plains, his rear is empty, and the number of troops is small. I have heard that many of my tribes and armies are waiting for me to go. ”
When Princess Hun heard this, she put her arms around Qu Zhulu's neck, kissed him on the face continuously, and said intermittently: "You can't go, you can't go, I won't let you leave me, you are now my concubine, no matter what, I won't let you go." ”
Qu Julu continued: "It is said that my tribes and armies, who were scattered and scattered in the territory of Yemili, Haiali, and Beshbali, gathered everywhere to rebel against the Mongol rule, and to inquire about me everywhere. ”
The princess still chattered, "You can't go, I won't let you go, what will I do if you leave?"
Qu Zhulu just pretended not to hear what she said, and while comforting, he continued to say to her: "If your father, Wang Ju'er Khan, can let me go and let them go and gather them together, go to the Mongols to take revenge, I must capture Genghis Khan alive, rebuild my barbarian country, and you will be my queen." ”
Princess Hun Hu hurriedly said: "My father is only one of my daughters, how can he be willing to let the two of us go?
Qu Zhulu immediately said: "Please rest assured, you helped me when I was in trouble, and one day Ju'er Khan and his old man will definitely help him." As long as I live in the world, I will be loyal to his old man, and I will obey his commands, and I will never break my word. ”
Princess Hun Hu couldn't stop his repeated explanations, begged bitterly, and finally agreed to ask his father and mother to let him go back as soon as possible to collect the remnants of Yuan Naiman. Later, the simple-hearted Ju'er Khan finally believed Qu Chulu's rhetoric, gave him many valuable gifts, and named him Qu Chulu Khan, and said to him: "I wish you to rebuild your homeland as soon as possible and take revenge as soon as possible." ”
So Qu Qu Lu flew out of the cage like a bird, and quickly returned to the territory of Ye Mili, Hai Yali, and Beshi Bali, collected his remnants together, and soon formed a team of 10,000 people.
At this time, there was a force in the army of the Western Liao State against Ju'er Khan, and their leader was named Pang Silihu, who immediately sent someone to Qu Qu Julu and said to him: "If you can remove Ju'er Khan from power, I am willing to support you as the king of Western Liao, and give you the beautiful Wujiang of Western Liao as your queen." ”
Qu Zhulu was naturally happy, so he prepared to lead his troops back to attack Ju'er Khan, and his subordinate Gregory persuaded him: "You can't do this, Ju'er Khan recruited you as a horse when you were in trouble, and helped you rebuild the army, how can you do that disloyal and unrighteous thing?"
Qu Julu didn't think so, but said: "I am the life-saving benefactor of Ju'er Khan's daughter, he helped me do something, and it should be, this matter is equivalent to settling it, no one owes anyone, not to mention that he is old and mediocre, what is wrong with letting me be the king of Western Liao?"
So Qu Chulu insisted on uniting with Pang Silihu, surrounded the palace, forced Ju'er Khan to hand over the royal power, and immediately gave way to himself. Ju'er Khan was old and weak, unable to resist, and only said: "I promised you to inherit the throne of Western Liao, but you have to withdraw your troops and lead the army back." ”
Qu Qu Lu then withdrew the team, took Wu Jiang to his side, and made her queen, and the news reached the ears of Princess Hun Hu, and she immediately sent someone to find her cousin Long Ge Dingli, and asked him to raise an army to surround and annihilate Qu Qu Lu's soldiers and horses.
After some planning, Long Ge Dingli killed Pang Si Li Hu to seize the command of the army, and attacked Qu Qu Lu's team at night, and still supported Ju'er Khan as the king of Western Liao.
Later, Qu Chulu heard that the king of Khorezm, Mohammed, was dissatisfied with being a vassal state of Western Liao again, and was preparing to send troops to attack Juer Khan. After repeated consultations, the two sides made a resolution that Mohammad would attack Ju'er Khan from the west, and Qu Qu Lu would attack from the east, and whoever annihilated Ju'er Khan first would get most of the territory of the Western Liao Kingdom.
Mohammad, king of Khorezm, said: "I will only go from this great land and people to Kolimahei, Khutan, and Koshhar. ”
Qu Qu Lu immediately agreed to his request, but who knew that Long Ge Dingli led the Western Liao soldiers and horses to suddenly surround his team, killing Qu Qu Lu and fleeing in defeat, only to return to Beshi Bali to reorganize the soldiers and horses. At this time, the king of Khorezm, Mohammed, united with the Saqiergan kingdom and launched an attack from the western border of the Western Liao State.
Taking advantage of the dispersion of Ju'er Khan's forces, Qu Chulu suddenly led his troops to attack him, surrounded him, and captured him by surprise. Qu Qulu wanted to kill Ju'er Khan and declare himself the king of Western Liao, but Gregory persuaded: "Why should you kill an old and infirm man? How much more so that he is kind to you? In order to alleviate the rebellion of the people of Western Liao, wouldn't it be more advantageous to keep him and respect him as the emperor in vain?"
Qu Zhulu felt that what he said was reasonable, so he accepted this opinion, and said openly to Ju'er Khan: "You are the emperor, and I will treat you as a father, even though your daughter, Princess Huhu, has left me and become the wife of her cousin Longe Dingli. ”
So Qu Julu justifiably took the Turkestan region under the rule of Juer Khan and his throne into his own hands. Since then, the Khitan Western Liao State has actually perished, and Qu Zhulu has re-established the Naiban State in Kashgar, Hotan and other places, and in the area on the banks of the Xiersha River in Western Liao.
After wandering for more than four years, Qu Zhulu is now the king of Xiliao, and he is really complacent and ecstatic with the beautiful Wu Jiang by his side. So he spoke harshly, and his temper became greater, and he was about to kill people at every turn, and he thought that this was what he would look like a king.
Although Queen Wujiang is extremely beautiful, she has a strange personality and often makes some strange requests. On weekdays, Wu Jiang asked to be bathed with milk, and goat's milk and mare's milk could not be replaced, forcing the people of the Western Liao Kingdom to deliver fresh milk to the palace on time.
She also eats special food, she loves to eat cow's hooves, and she asks the chef to remove the outer carapace of the cow's hooves and put them in a pot to simmer until they are soft. Although Wu Jiang is very beautiful, she likes to dress up very much, pays special attention to the maintenance and beauty of her face, and asks the maid to beautify her every morning - slap her face.
It is said that slapping the face is the best way to beautify the face, and those maids often dare not beat, and who dares not to beat them under her orders? What's more, Ujang believes in idolatry, and she wants to bend the law and force the entire people to convert to idolatry.
Originally, most of the barbarians believed in Christianity, and most of the people in the Western Liao Kingdom believed in Islam. In order to please Wu Jiang, Qu Zhulu actually ordered: "All the people of Western Liao, either believe in Christianity or believe in idolatry." ”
