From January to October, sunny days are rare on the plateau. In the terrible wind, the snowflakes gathered as if they were gathering for a while.

On the banks of the Lushui River, Xue Wanche, Yu Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili had wet hair, and they took a happy bath in the cold and biting river water, and now they were working in pairs, facing each other, alternately cleaning each other's beards, and they had been so relaxed at the end of the month, and everyone had a thick layer of dirt on their bodies. In this battle, they have already killed Tuyuhun to the bold, no longer dare to provoke the edge of the Great Sui army, the whole army has relaxed, in batches to the river to wash themselves, winter swimming is an indispensable training project for the Sui army, years of training, everyone is not afraid of the cold of the river mixed with broken ice. Everyone is tidying up and getting ready for a refreshing return.

The people of the Western Regions are not the Spring Festival, there is no concept of going home for the festival, this time, they will follow several generals into the court, accept the reward of the Great Sui Emperor, for them, as the capital of the Great Sui Emperor, Luoyang is far more attractive than returning to the Western Regions, so even if they can't go home, everyone has the interest of 'going home for the New Year'.

As for what to do with the Hu soldiers of less than 13,000 people in Beijing, Xue Wanche, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda and others didn't bother to ask, these surviving soldiers are naturally elite divisions, according to Yang Dong's previous style, it should be to open the eyes of these Hu people and see the world of flowers in Luoyang. Then, let Su Dingfang train a new Silk Road coalition army, which not only replenishes the population of the Great Sui, but also enables the war potential of the countries in the Western Regions to be devoured step by step.

"Xue Shuai, when we killed outside Jiyu City, Murong Fuyun obviously had an absolute advantage in strength, but he watched us pack up the war horses and horse corpses, and didn't dare to chase after us, probably because he was scared. If we capture Jiyu City in one go, Tuyuhun, which has been founded for more than 300 years, will die from then on. ”

Qiu Shili, who had shaved his beard for Niu Jinda, squatted next to Xue Wanche, who was holding water to wash his face, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Since ancient times, the war of annihilation of the country has been a meritorious achievement that has gone down in history, and Qiu Shili naturally needs this fame very much. At the moment, Tuyuhun only has a few breaths left, and if they work harder, they may not succeed.

"Are you thinking too much?"

Xue Wanche took a towel, wiped the water droplets on his face, sat on a big rock, and said with a smile: "After the war, when dealing with the Eastern/Turkic and Western Turkic issues, I had the same idea as you, thinking that the evil should be eliminated, but the Holy Lord disagreed. ”

"Why doesn't the Holy One agree?" Qiu Shili looked at Xue Wanche puzzled, this is also something that more than ninety percent of the people of the Great Sui can't understand, the original two Turks were all divided, and the Great Sui had the strength to annihilate it, but Yang Tong didn't, which made everyone feel strange.

"The Holy One believes that the enemy cannot be eliminated by killing them cleanly." Xue Wanche pointed to all the directions of Jiyu City and said: "These places in Tuyuhun now are all natural grazing places, even if we completely eradicate Tuyuhun, it won't be long before the Tubo people, Qiang people, and even the people of the Six Edicts will come." ”

Chushli said, "But so what? Let's kill one and kill the other! ”

"What you said is similar to what Luo Shixin's kid said in Zhaowu Palace in Yicheng City back then." Xue Wanche laughed and said: "It is not a certain nation that causes the war, but the land, the water and grass here are abundant, it will not be long before the population here will multiply again, if we destroy Tuyuhun, then we will face a new hostile force." Tuyuhun has now made us kill the guts, and these people may not dare to violate my Great Sui border in their lifetimes. But if it is replaced by a new force, it may not be so. Nowadays, our Great Sui attaches great importance to the great cause of unification, and the foreign tribes naturally focus on stability in this regard, and any new force in the frontier is far inferior to the Turks, the Western Regions, the Tuyuhun people, and the Goguryeo people who have lost their courage to be obedient and easy to control. ”

"It's still Xue Shuai who can see far." Chushili admired.

Xue Wanche shook his head: "These truths are said by the Holy Lord. Wei Chi and Lao Niu were both present at the time. ”

"If we're not there, are you going to take this credit?" Wei Chigong joked with a smile.

"Is I, Xue Wanche, so shameless? Even if you're not here, I won't take ...... risk" Xue Wanche's tone dragged on, and then said: "It's weird! ”

The crowd laughed.

"Xue Shuai! Murong Fuyun sent an envoy to ask for a meeting. "A scout lieutenant Pegasus has arrived.

"The fat sheep is here!" Wei Chigong smiled and reminded emphatically: "Old Xue, the knife has to be ruthless." ”

"I've been with the saint for so many years, we can do this very smoothly, Murong Fuyun, this old boy, will send it to the door by himself, and we can squeeze his oil out of the stone. If this old guy dares not to give it, we don't have to go back to Luoyang, so we can simply spend the New Year in Jiyu City. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Wanche smiled and said loudly: "Let him come here to see me." ”

"Whoa!" The lieutenant agreed, turned his horse's head, and galloped away, and after a while, he came over with an old man from Tuyuhun.

"Minister Sani, see the generals of the Celestial Empire."

Sani's pure Luoyang Yayan made Xue Wanche, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili stunned, and several of them said that this thing was not standard!

"Have you been in Luoyang?" Xue Wanche asked.

"Exactly!" Sani bowed his hand and said: "The foreign minister admires the culture of the Central Plains very much, and after four years of great cause, he accompanied Prince Shun to Beijing and lived in Luoyang for six years. ”

Xue Wanche and the others suddenly realized, but this did not make everyone feel good, under the influence of Yang Tong, they were full of evil thoughts about this kind of alien people who 'learned the skills of Hua to control China', and said coldly: "Ben will not have time to hide and talk to you, so let's talk directly." ”

Sani arched his hand and said: "General Hui, the foreign ministers came this time to settle the dispute between the two countries on the order of the Khan, and to ask His Majesty Emperor Shengwu for peace, and never offend each other......"

Waving his hand, Xue Wanche impatiently interrupted Sani's words: "Ben Jiang has limited time, I just want to know, Murong Fuyun wants to ask for peace, where is the sincerity?" ”

"This ......" Xue Wanche's way of speaking without any pre-heating on the other side not only made Sani uncomfortable, but also forcibly blocked the set of rhetoric he had prepared, and only smiled bitterly after a long time: "The Great Khan is willing to compensate for the loss of the Silk Road trade at ten times the price." In addition, he paid tribute to the Celestial Empire and paid tribute to the Celestial Empire. ”

Hearing this, Xue Wanche, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili were all dumbfounded, they never imagined that the Holy Lord would casually find a wronged leader to respond to the countries of the Western Regions, but unexpectedly, they actually found the main master by mistake, and then, a wave of anger surged from the bottom of their hearts, Xue Wanche grinned and shouted: "This is gone?" ”

"Uh...... Nope. Sani's old face was slightly red, this condition makes people feel like bullying fools, but the generals of Da Sui over the years are obviously not fools.

"It seems that Murong Fuyun didn't recognize the reality!" Xue Wanche shook his head and sighed, there was no joy or anger in his voice, but even if he was a fool, it was not difficult to imagine that Xue Wanche was in a very bad mood.

Although he thought that Murong Fuyun would cheat with him and avoid the serious, he never expected that he would be so insincere when he had already arrived in the city.

Compensation at 10 times the value of the goods?

When the Great Sui is called Huazi, when more than 17,000 lives are grass and trees, when the money and food consumed by this trip are soil?

Bow down?

Great Sui is not uncommon.

Years old Nagon?

Xue Wanche just wanted to laugh, annihilated Tuyuhun, what else do you need.

Silence, in the extremely oppressive silence, Sani's forehead continued to seep sweat even in this ice and snow, Xue Wanche didn't say a word, but made him even more worried.

"It seems that ......" After a long time, Xue Wanche glanced at Sani and snorted coldly: "Murong Fuyun hasn't understood Tuyuhun's current situation yet. ”

"General, this ......," Sani wanted to explain.

"You don't have to say more." Xue Wanche waved his hand, "Since Murong Fuyun thinks that my Great Sui is easy to bully, then my Great Sui will teach him to understand what it means to be smart." We will teach him tomorrow what it means to 'punish those who commit crimes against the Great Sui, although they are far away'. When he said the last sentence, Xue Wanche's eyes shot a frightening chill.

Xue Wanche had already known that Yang Tong was looking for Tuyuhun to be the wronged boss to make a difference, but this fake is fake after all, Murong Fuyun may not be able to explain it, but the Great Sui can't find the real evidence, so a forcible attack will inevitably fall behind, not only will he lose his identity, but the key is that it may expose the Western Regions plot of the Great Sui and arouse the vigilance of all countries, which is not conducive to the development of the Great Sui, but now, the unjust boss is actually a real criminal, and they admit it, this is completely famous, even if Tuyuhun is destroyed, There is no need to worry about the irresponsible remarks of the countries in the Western Regions, that is to say, how the Great Sui tosses and concocts Tuyuhun is a very happy thing.

"The general is angry, and the Great Khan is grief-stricken because of the death of the Tianzhu King, and he is a little unenlightened."

Sani broke out in a cold sweat, this was actually the condition he put forward in order to reduce Tuyuhun's losses, according to the arrogant heart of the Heavenly Empire, Murong Fuyun agreed to sue for peace at all costs, at this moment, he had a feeling of moving stones and throwing his feet,

Thinking about it carefully, he also felt that he had gone too far, the war was provoked by Murong Fuyun, and now he was beaten to the national capital, but he didn't want to pay any price to let the family retreat! Is this possible? Even if Yang Tong really had the intention of ending the war, he was so insincere and even insulting to negotiate peace conditions, I am afraid that this battle will continue to be fought if he does not want to, he took a deep breath and arched his hand: "The foreign minister wants to know the conditions of His Majesty Emperor Shengwu, so that he can explain it to the Great Khan and implore the general to tell him." ”

Xue Wanche nodded, and said loudly: "The four counties of Xihaidu, as early as the Han Dynasty, were the land of my Central Plains Dynasty, when the Sixteen Kingdoms of the East and the West, the Central Plains were in turmoil, and you Tuyuhun people moved into the place, and then developed around, and established the Tuyuhun Kingdom, and repeatedly led troops to attack the Hexi region and cut off the Silk Road. It was not until the period of Emperor Wu that the Great Sui recovered all the homeland and set up four counties, but you have never given up, and have been coveting my Great Sui land, seeing that there was a war in my Great Sui, Murong Fuyun thought that the opportunity had come, not only forcibly seized Xihai and other counties, but also followed the example of the Turks, directly sent troops to support Xue Ju, interfered in the internal affairs of my Great Sui, and threatened the Hexi region at all times. made Murong Fuyun afraid that the Great Sui would settle accounts after the autumn. The Holy Lord warned Murong Ke in Yecheng back then, telling you not to be smart and self-righteous, but... Murong Fuyun, the dog thief, not only did not appreciate the benevolence and righteousness of my Great Sui, but instead attacked Hexi, intercepted and killed the caravans along the way, not only attacked the caravans of the people of the Western Regions, but even the caravans of my Dasui dared to attack. ”

"The Silk Road is one of the economic lifelines of my Great Sui and the countries of the Western Regions, you Tuyuhun created a precedent for this dynasty, if all countries are watching my Great Sui's reaction today, if my Great Sui is over, what will they think? They will not think that I am a great Sui benevolent and righteous, but that my great Sui is weak and incompetent, and they will come to rob the caravans on the Silk Road when they have no money in the future. If you don't destroy the country and punish it severely, others will follow suit another day! ”

When Sani heard this, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Does it have to be like this? ”

"It's not the first time Murong Fuyun has plundered caravans on the Silk Road, he did the same at the beginning, and he was wiped out by His Majesty Emperor Wu once. Unexpectedly, after just a few years, he healed his scars and forgot the pain, and once again plundered the merchants, killed people, and cut off the economic lifeline of my Great Sui, which was really too deceitful, you say, what reason does my Great Sui have to forgive his sins? You go back and tell Murong Fuyun that if you want to keep Tuyuhun, you will exchange his head. Xue Wanche said lightly, he didn't want to look at this old man anymore, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back the killing intent in his heart, and hacked the old man to death with a knife.

Sani thought silently for a while, and suddenly remembered Xue Wanche's shouting before the battle, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and found that Xue Wanche had no intention of destroying the country. ”

Xue Wanche said lightly: "According to your grassland customs, the death of the Great Khan is to exchange 250,000 sheep for the corpse, and you can ask Murong Fuyun to take out 250,000 sheep to buy his life." ”

"This ......"

"Don't be too busy refusing!" Xue Wanche said coldly: "Presumably, Murong Fuyun is very unpopular now, as long as my Great Sui releases a rumor that he wants to help Tuyuhun change a khan, there should be many tribal chiefs who kneel and beg for the support of Great Sui." When the time comes, my Dasui will get even more! ”

Sani was silent, Tuyuhun is in such a situation, naturally some people covet the throne, if the Great Sui is willing to support, there must be people crying and begging Yang Tong to support his ascendancy.

"Second, the gift is a hundredfold dowry at the beginning, and the princess of Guanghua of the Great Sui is returned to the court." In the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, Murong Shifu, the Khan of Tuyuhun, sent an envoy to Sui Heqin, and Emperor Wen married Princess Guanghua to Murong Shifu. In the following year, Murong Shifu was killed and succeeded by his brother Murong Fuyun. According to the custom of Tuyuhun, Princess Guanghua remarried Murong Fuyun, but she married into Tuyuhun for so many years and did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, it is estimated that she is the same as Princess Huarong who married into Gaochang, she is not trusted and welcomed by the Murong family, and Yang Tong naturally wants to take her back to Dasui.

"Third, compensate the damaged caravan with a hundred times the value of the goods, and the lost personnel, and one person shall compensate five hundred taels of gold."

"Fourth, I want 4,000 young and strong horsemen who can cultivate Qinghai Cong, and their relatives, as well as 1,000 Qinghai Xiao foals, 10,000 fine horses, 100,000 fine war horses, and 2,000,000 cattle and sheep."

According to Tuyuhun's current economic situation, Xue Wanche asked for a sky-high price.

"Shhh Sani widened his eyes, looked at Xue Wanche with a calm and breezy face, felt a little chill in his bones, and muttered to himself: "General, this is too much, right?" ”

"How much? Not much either. ”

Xue Wanche smiled and said, "If we destroy Tuyuhun, we will get more!" You say, don't you? ”

Sani was speechless.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "The general has asked for too many animals, and we can't take them out at all. ”

Xue Wanche said: "Gold, silver, copper, iron, rare treasures, jade, and leather can all replace livestock. But Her Royal Highness the Princess, the groom and a thousand Qinghai foals and 10,000 fine horses cannot be exchanged. ”

Sani breathed a sigh of relief, gold, silver, brass, rare treasures, and jade were far less valuable than cattle and sheep and other livestock, and because the Silk Road passed through the West Sea, they had accumulated a lot of rare treasures.

"If the deal is made, our army will leave, and if there is a silver tael missing, then I will destroy Tuyuhun."

"......" Sani said helplessly: "As long as the general can stay for a few more days, the foreign minister will find a way to make the khan enough." ”

"Okay, I hope you don't keep me waiting! Three days, my patience is only three days. Xue Wanche said coldly, if this matter can be done, the harvest of this battle will be too rich.

"The minister retired." Sani bowed and took his leave.

He hurried for a long time, but he didn't even have a meal, he was intimidated, and then he was kicked out, what is this?
