Chapter 1026: The Devil with a Familiar Face
Seeing the change in Yunyang's expression, Shengheng spoke first: "You must be blaming me for why I didn't respond to the Great Qi Emperor earlier, right?" What would you do if you were me? ā
Yunyang didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but at this time there was nothing to hide. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Yunyang raised his head and said: "Since the Great Khan asked me like this, I have the courage to imagine that I am the leader of the Red Valley, and my people are experiencing a dire situation, in such a situation, of course, I will immediately write to the Emperor of Great Qi, saying that I agree with his suggestion that I will lead my people to migrate to the territory set aside by Great Qi." ā
Yunyang felt that his words were loud, but after saying that, Seungheng didn't seem to be too surprised. He said coldly: "But how can I judge that the Great Qi Emperor is really helping us? If he says one thing and does another, and I bring my people over, will I not be caught in the net? ā
"If the Emperor of Great Qi has two hearts, he can raise troops to annihilate Chigu in one fell swoop, why do such a thankless thing?" As soon as Yunyang heard what Shengheng said, his heart was on fire first.
Seeing that Yunyang was desperately defending the Great Qi Emperor, Shengheng looked very calm, because all of this was in his expectations. The only thing he was puzzled about was that Yun Yang was usually a smart person in ice and snow, but whenever she mentioned the Great Qi Emperor, she never thought about it and stood firmly on his side, not analyzing the actual situation at all.
may have seen some changes in Shengheng's expression, and Yunyang's originally angry mood calmed down suddenly. She pondered for a moment and said, "I may not have thought about this matter comprehensively, but to put it mildly, does the Akatani tribe still have the bargaining capital?" Your own pasture is almost gone, does it make sense for you to stick to it? ā
Shengheng was not angry, he replied calmly: "Of course it makes sense, at least our clan is gathered together, there is no sending people under the fence, no one is at the mercy of others, maybe we can unite and grab a lot of benefits from the Khitans." ā
Yunyang knew that Shengheng's idea was not unreasonable, and receiving the rewarded land from others was not as comfortable as the land he had snatched with blood and sweat. Moreover, the only person who agreed to enter the Great Qi to gamble was the character of the Great Qi Emperor. What if they arrived in the land of Great Qi, and the Great Qi Emperor reneged on his word and did not recognize the previous agreement at all? Could it be that Shengheng watched his clansmen go to death? ā
As soon as Yunyang heard that Shengheng was questioning Zhao Yuan, the fire in his heart suddenly rose: "Why do you have so many prejudices against the emperor, isn't he good for the people of Akatani?" If not, why should he ask for his own suffering? ā
Sheng Heng stared at her with deep eyes: "This is the difference between you and me, you only have the Great Qi Emperor in your eyes, you just need to think about him." But I have to think about the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people in Akagu, who not only have a place to go, but also live well. ā
Yunyang suddenly understood the difficulty of Shengheng. Zhao Yuan has always had clear rewards and punishments for foreign clans, if he is sincere and obedient, he will naturally treat him with good wine and good food, if he is a little half-hearted, he will not hesitate to remove it.
Therefore, the image of the Great Qi Kingdom in the hearts of the people of Chigu is not as tall as Yunyang thought before, which is also the fundamental reason why she has been embarrassed everywhere since she entered the Chigu tribe. Now it's not whether Shengheng is willing to let the red people return to Daqi, but can the Chitani Department agree to Shengheng's decision?
"If the Great Khan had made this decision known to the people, would they not have carried out your orders?" Yunyang asked cautiously. This question has been haunting her for a long time, and she has not known how to speak, but now that she has said this, she simply asks it regardless of it.
Yunyang asked the question willfully, but Shengheng was not angry, he shook his head a little helplessly: "You see, in fact, no one is omnipotent, even if you are in my position." The attitude of the clansmen towards Daqi has always been not very good, and recently they have experienced so many twists and turns, and people's hearts are fluctuating, even if I propose to return to Daqi, there will definitely be many clansmen who oppose it, and if it is not handled properly, the intra-clan conflicts that we originally wanted to avoid will occur again. ā
Yunyang was also at a loss at this time, she had to admit that what Shengheng said was very reasonable, but at the same time, she felt that since it was a decision that was beneficial to the entire tribe, no matter what difficulties Shengheng encountered, she should stick to the end. Even if someone doubts him and questions him, he must be firm in his thoughts, so that the people will become more and more convinced of him and will believe in the decision he makes.
But now it seems that Shengheng himself is full of doubts about Daqi, especially the emperor, as if the emperor specially set aside an area to take in the Chigu people in order to harm them, if he really took advantage of the natural disaster to eliminate the Chigu people, why would the emperor bother with such effort, as long as he ignored the Chigu people, wouldn't it be cleaner to let them fend for themselves?
Of course, Yunyang couldn't say this to Shengheng openly, she could only knock on the side and say: "If you don't go to Daqi, where else is there to take in the Chigu people?" Could it be the Khitan? ā
"We have lived together with the Khitans on this steppe for many years, and there is not a year without fighting, so how can we take refuge in them with this kind of relationship? Almost everyone in the Khitans has a blood feud with us, and even if we stay here, we will fight them to the death. Shengheng immediately denied Yunyang's statement, and his attitude was even more firm than just now.
From this point of view, Sheng Heng is still inclined to go to Daqi in his heart, after all, he himself is half of the Central Plains blood. However, there must be other reasons for his delay in making up his mind.
Yunyang didn't dare to mention Daqi again, so he had to start with the Khitan: "If the Great Khan is determined to stay in the grassland, then a bloody battle with the Khitans is inevitable, even if you have the support of the Leopard Army, it will not be easy to defeat the brave and good Khitans in one fell swoop." In this case, even if the Great Khan had the support of the Leopard Army, it would not be easy to fight with the Khitans, let alone snatch the grassland from them. This is basically equivalent to taking the lives of the people to die in vain, and their death is meaningless. ā
"Although I also know that it is meaningless, many Akatans will still choose to fight with the Khitans, because in their eyes, the Khitans are close, even the devil is a familiar devil, and dealing with a familiar enemy is more grounded than going to Daqi, which is completely unfamiliar." When Shengheng said this, there was also a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
