Chapter 168: Mongol Annexation
On a small hill a little farther away from the tribe, the wind blew softly, and cattle and sheep appeared at the bottom of the mountain, eating grass contentedly.
Qu Ping was sitting on the top of the mountain at the moment, and the breeze was blowing the tips of Qu Ping's hair, revealing a face of longing and fascination.
At this moment, he is looking at the sacred mountain in the distance, Buerhan Mountain, and Wolf Juxu Mountain. This is a sacred mountain that belongs to the Mongols.
Even if Huo Qubing was sealed here, he did not escape his fate after all.
At the age of 17, he was awarded the title of "Champion Hou", and at the age of 19, he broke 100,000 Xiongnu and took Qilian Mountain, making the Central Plains Dynasty occupy the Hexi Corridor for the first time and lay the foundation for the opening of the Silk Road. The Battle of Mobei annihilated more than 70,000 Huns, and sealed the wolves.
However, God is jealous of talents, Huo Qu was only twenty-three years old and was recruited by God to go to the West Heaven, and since then the world can only spread his fame.
"A, what do you want?" Kutura ran over with great interest.
Qu Ping said: "I want to seal the wolf Juxu." ”
"In five days' time, we will hold an altar ceremony at Mount Bhuerhan, so that Anda can appreciate the charm of our steppe mountain up close. Father Khan has successfully merged seven tribes and digested the captives, and we now have more than 100,000 people in the Mongolian department! On the grassland, you can walk with your head held high! ”
Qu Ping pursed the corners of his lips imperceptibly, this strength began to learn to walk as a crab, no matter how strong it is, it can't go to the sky?
Qu Ping said: "These people are now driven by interests to come together, you can't always have interests to share with them the friendship tied together by interests, sooner or later because of the disappearance of interests and the relationship will collapse." ”
"Then let's go and seize it together, seize more benefits, and never stop!" Kutura said proudly.
Qu Ping smiled in his heart, these people are still too barbaric, so barbaric that they use force everywhere. Relying on force is their strength and their weakness.
Qu Ping wants to turn them into war machines, invincible and indomitable war machines. The machine doesn't need to think, so let Da Song command it to act!
If the Great Song Dynasty can't dominate the Mongolian steppe now, then a hundred years later, or less than a hundred years, it will become a plaything under the iron hooves of Mongolia, and the Central Plains civilization will be barbarically destroyed! History will push the Central Plains civilization down the abyss in Yashan!
Since Qu Ping has already altered history, why not change it more closely to his heart to save the regret of the Chinese nation!
Kutura likes to take shortcuts and eat fast food, which is also in the middle of the coffin.
Qu Ping said step by step: "How much do more than 100,000 people eat a day, have you calculated? Now that you are the masters of the Mongols, you have to be responsible for their livelihood and interests, and you have to put yourself in the shoes of your people. ”
"We have tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and we have corn ......"
"Then you are self-tying herdsmen, and you have lost the opportunity to fight for the grassland! Now the grassland has not been touched by the Jin Kingdom, Western Liao, and Western Xia, and it is still your free world, if you wait for them to ease up, with your current strength, can you resist it? ”
"What then? A: You must have a way, tell me quickly. Kutura said eagerly.
Qu Ping said: "Feed the war with war!" ”
"What does it mean to feed war with war?"
"Turn the enemy's food into your food, turn the enemy's men and horses into your people, and the world will naturally be yours!"
Kutura muttered, "Feed the ...... with war"
"That's right!" Qu Ping said, "There is another way, to find a strong backer, such as Jin, Liao, Xia...... Surname. ”
Hu Tu was stunned for a moment: "Looking for a backer?" ”
"The country of Jin is not long, and the foundation is too shallow; The remnants of the Western Liao were too far apart, and at the same time they were emaciated camels; Western Xia was being ravaged by war and had no time to take care of itself; Only our Da Song is the most helpful to you! Qu Ping analyzed.
Hu Tu thought of Qu Ping's identity as a Song person, and seemed to smell a trace of catty, and said: "An answer is a Song person, with An Answer's ability, it shouldn't be an ordinary person?" ”
"An answer, don't hide it, I'm the Duke of Yongguo of the Great Song Dynasty."
Ku Tu didn't know what the status of Yongguo Gong was, so he must not be low, and asked: "An answer is so bitter that I am hidden!" I don't know what is the purpose of An's journey to the grassland? ”
Qu Ping said: "Please forgive me, I also have a last resort." I originally led my troops to help the Western Xia put down the rebellion, and tracked the thief leader to the Hetao Plain, but encountered an attack by the Jin soldiers, and then fell here. If it weren't for the Immortal Heaven for me to save you, I would probably be in another tribe now. ”
Qu Ping's meaning is obvious, if he didn't happen to save Kutura, he might not have gone to the Qiyan Ministry, so the person who is now standing opposite Qu Ping and talking about this matter will not be the Qiyan Ministry. If other tribes get the help of the Great Song Dynasty, they will also expand rapidly like the Mongolian tribe today, and seize the territory of the Mongolian steppe!
When he heard this, he understood, and said, "It seems that it is all providence!" An'a, with your line, the Mongolian Department can rely on the Song Dynasty, right? ”
"As long as you want."
Ku Tu Ra had made up his mind, pulled Qu Ping and walked back, and said, "Let's go, let's go back now, and tell my father Khan, he will be happy." ”
Qu Ping didn't refuse, it's time to make everything clear.
When I arrived at the Hebul felt tent, Kutu told Qu Ping to wait outside, and he said, "Go first and find out with your father's Khan, if your father's Khan has any unfavorable intentions for you, and I cough loudly inside, you will run immediately." Remember, we are always the answer! "Latest
Hebul and Iba were discussing how to settle the men and horses of the various tribes, when they saw Kutula coming in, and said to him, "Kutula, you have come just in time, and I will leave the matter of sacrificing to heaven to you." ”
The fact that such a major event as sacrificing to the heavens was handed over to Kutura to do shows that Hebul already attaches great importance to Kutula.
Khutula replied simply, saying, "Father Khan, there is something more important that I would like to report to you!" ”
Hebul was a little displeased, and said: "There is anything more important than the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, say it quickly!" ”
Kutu Ra brought out the set of rhetoric that Qu Ping said before: "Father Khan, we have now established the Mongolian Department, which is more powerful, but the pressure is also greater. How to solve the problem of food, clothing and housing for more than 100,000 people, and how to make the new leaders of the various departments feel that it is profitable, are all problems one by one! There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests! In order to best solve these problems, we have only two options, one is to feed the war with war, and the other is to find a strong backing. ”
Hebul made eye contact with the child for a moment, and then asked Kutura, "Did you say this yourself?" Or do you have an idea of An'a? ”
Kutu Ra could not betray Qu Ping, he said: "An replied that my thoughts would be the most suitable for us. ”
Hebula said in his heart, is Qu Ping finally going to find out everything? Hebule already had the answer in his heart, but he still asked: "You answer, the backing of what you said, but the Song Dynasty?" ”
"That's right. The country of Jin was not long in coming, and its roots were too shallow; The remnants of the Western Liao were too far apart, and at the same time they were emaciated camels; Western Xia was being ravaged by war and had no time to take care of itself; Only Da Song was the most helpful for us! The economy and culture of the Central Plains are extremely developed, and with the help of the Great Song Dynasty, we can have the strength to quickly wipe out other tribes and unify the grasslands! Kutura said.
I said, "Then have you ever thought that in this way, we will become vassals of the Song Dynasty?" ”
Kutura said: "Who is the master and who is the guest, it is only in name, and the real status is not determined by its own strength?" We first borrowed the funding of the Great Song Dynasty to unify the grassland, and when we become strong in the future, we may not be able to sit on an equal footing, and we can even reverse the priority! ”
Hebul thought with satisfaction that Kutura was not stupid, he still had his own opinions.
Hebul asked Kutura to be quiet, and then asked him where Qu Ping was now.
"Just waiting outside for my good news." Kutura said.
Hebule scolded in his heart, how can he let the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses stand outside the account, it is really rude.
"Come in, please!" Hebul said hurriedly.
Qu Ping heard that Kutula saw him enter, and it seemed that the communication between Kutula and Hebula should be quite smooth.
"I've seen Hebul Khan!" Qu Ping said.
Hebule hurriedly invited Qu Ping to sit on the top and said: "Yongguo Gong is here, we have no eyes, there are many slackness in these days, and I ask Yongguo Gong to forgive me." ”
Ku Tu Ra was strange in his heart, he didn't tell his father Khan that I was the Duke of Yongguo of the Great Song Dynasty, how did my father Khan know?
Qu Ping excused himself and said: "Hebul Khan is too worried, and I also have a reason, so it is inconvenient to reveal my true identity too early, and please don't blame the Great Khan." The Great Khan is the Lord, I am the guest, the guest is as the Lord, or please sit on the Great Khan! ”
Everyone didn't want to sit on the head, so they sat down on both sides, Qu Ping and Ku Tu on one side, and Hebul and I on the other. Everyone sat down, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while, and they didn't know where to start.
Qu Ping took the lead and said: "The Great Khan already knows my identity, I don't know what to do next?" ”
Hebul said: "During the past few days of Lord Guogong's time in the Qiyan Ministry, the changes and help he has given us, especially the help to Kutula, are obvious to all, and we are very grateful and admired from the bottom of our hearts. Guogong's analysis of the current situation of our ministry and the situation it will face in the future is very in place, very incisive, and incisive. What I think about is, if we are attached to the Great Song, what are the conditions? ”
Qu Ping said: "The Great Song Dynasty will canonize you, make the Great Khan nominally the overlord of the grassland, and will fund your armor, weapons, food and cloth, you just need to return to it with peace of mind." ”
Hebul is talking about attachment, Qu Ping is talking about attachment, and the two are very different.
I Ba said: "Belong to the Great Song? Does that mean we will be part of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
"That's right, but I don't listen to the tune. Listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement means obeying the transfer, but maintaining its own independence. Qu Ping said firmly.
From attachment to attachment, it is indeed quite difficult to get together.
Hebul said: "The stakes are very high, the Mongolian Ministry has just been established, and I still have to discuss it with the other leaders." ”
Qu Ping said: "Please, I will wait for your good news." By the way, the Great Khan was canonized, and he could make his own decisions in the future. ”
Hebule's face turned pale, and he said: "The heads of the tribes will arrive at the Qiyan Department in advance to discuss the placement of the various departments and the matter of worshipping the heavens, they should be able to arrive before tonight, and I will give you an answer tomorrow." ”
"Then wait for the good news of the Great Khan." After Qu Ping finished speaking, he said goodbye to Ku Tu Ra and left.
The two of them walked on the road, and Hu Tu asked: "An answer, is the prince a great official?" My father Khan is jealous of you. ”
Where he is jealous, he has to ask for me. If you can't get this benefit, there will naturally be other tribes who will get it, and then it will be two to say who is in charge of the grassland.
Qu Ping said: "The prince is not big, he is a knight." ”
Kutura nodded, and in the future, the Mongolian Ministry will also have its own knighthood hierarchy.
Qu Ping said: "A, no matter what the result is tomorrow, I will leave, I have been away from home for almost a year." ”
