"For Xiang Qiang's future." Seeing that the third prince didn't react, Qin Luo continued to say more specifically, "In order to dismiss the eldest prince." ”

"against my eldest brother, hehe, I like this." Tuoba Yan was young in the end, and he quickly took the bait, "Tell me, how to refute him?" ”

"I listened to the Khan in the morning and said that he would kill the captives......"

"Father Khan wants to kill the captives?" The second prince interjected in surprise. He did not go to the gate in the morning, so he did not know the news.

Tuoba suddenly realized, "Oh, you heard me. Among the captives, you are the only one who understands Xiang Qiang's language. ”

Qin Luo knew that the third prince was afraid that the captives would cause turmoil after knowing the news, so he hurriedly explained: "Yes." I didn't tell anyone else about the news. ”

Originally, there were not many Chu people who could speak Xiang Qiang. Qin Luo remembered that he was fluent in Xiangqiang language, and he learned it from a Xiangqiang merchant who sold sheepskins when he was young, when he followed his father to the north and south to do small business.

"Father, he ......" The second prince glanced at Qin Luo, took a sip of tea with a smile, and swallowed the unfinished words.

"So, do you want to go and beg your father Khan not to kill them?" Tuoba asked.

"I want to ask the Khan to let the women and children go back to Chu."

Qin Luo's words surprised the two brothers, Tuoba Ling and Tuoba Yan, this person is really whimsical. Sparing them from dying is already a big concession, and putting them back is simply a fantasy.

Tuoba shook his head and sneered, "What are you kidding? Father Khan, he is the most ferocious wolf in the steppe, and he has no heart for a sheep. ”

"I was able to convince the Khan to just ask you to give me a chance." Qin Luo tempted again, "And if this matter is not successful, I will never implicate you, the prince." If it succeeds, it will be able to suppress the eldest prince, and it will be beneficial but not harmful to you, the prince. ”

"Big brother's words in the morning made me very unhappy. It's just a matter decided by Father Khan, and no one dares to refute it. ”

"From a political point of view, letting those women and children go is also for Xiang Qiang's future. Instead of getting angry, Khan will thank you. ”

At this time, the second prince came over and whispered to the third brother: "Father Khan is a bit too reckless to make this decision, we might as well give him a chance to see if he can convince Father Khan." ”

Tuoba Yan was a simple person, and immediately slapped the table and decided, "Okay, you wait." After that, he got up directly and went to find his father Khan Tuoba Hao.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qin Luo to be brought to the Khan.

"I heard, you're going to let me release those captives?" Tuoba Hao looked at the slave in front of him and said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, both the nobles and the servants in the Golden Palace laughed. The mocking laughter surrounded Qin Luo, but he still didn't change his face, as if he hadn't heard anything.

When the laughter subsided, Qin Luo spoke: "In order to appease the people, I beg the Khan to spare the innocent people." ”

"Not really." The khan simply refused, not giving Qin Luo the slightest room to maneuver.

However, Qin Luo still did not give up, and continued: "At least, let the child go." ”

"Why?"

"After Xiang Qiang broke through Yangcheng and took the palace, why did the army return to the dynasty again? Presumably in Yangcheng, there is a lot of resistance. Qin Luo was silent and gave Tuoba Hao the first set.

Tuoba Hao really fell into deep thought, indeed, after they attacked Yang City, they were helpless. Because Yangcheng's resistance did not come from the Great Chu army, but from the people of Great Chu.

Now that the Central Plains is in a period of chaos, the Chu people's rejection of Xiang Qiang simply surpasses any change of dynasty. Xiang Qiang and the Chu people do not understand the language, culture, and anything. Even if the army is left to forcibly control it, it will not be of much use.

After all, it is easy to bring down a country by force, but it is too difficult to conquer a nation. Even after their emperor died, they still did not recognize Xiang Qiang. There are not too many peasant uprisings and Jianghu organizations in the Chu State. Their Xiang Qiang's army did not want to be wasted in the suppression of endless uprisings. The army is useless, and the soldiers are homesick, so this is the class.

Tuoba Hao couldn't tell whether this war was won or lost. He won the weak and bullying Great Chu royal family, but he lost at the hands of the people of Chu.

"So, do you have any good suggestions?" Tuoba Hao asked.

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Xiang Qiang was an alien race in the eyes of the Central Plains, which was the most important obstacle to the Khan's unification of the Central Plains. If they learn that their wives and children were killed, for the men of Chu State, it will be revenge for taking their wives and killing their children. The Chu people are united, and the power that erupts may be dozens of times. ”

Tuoba Hao was silent, and when the eldest prince saw this, he jumped out first. He said viciously to Qin Luo: "Fart! Can the Central Plains be unified if the children are released? Don't think we're going to fall for you. ”

"After releasing those children, the children's mother has hope that they will not fight to the death, and can stay in Xiangqiang as a slave. If the women are here, the men of the Chu State will be jealous. Qin Luo looked directly at the Khan and analyzed, "After the child goes home, it is also a kind of appeasement to the Chu people. Their hatred for Xiang Qiang will also be reduced by one point. ”

"You are just defeated generals, do we still want to curry favor with you Chu people?" The eldest prince was not convinced, and stood up and said, "Father Khan, they are just some captives, and if you kill them, you will kill them." ”

The third prince frowned, also stood up and said, "Father Khan, if it is more beneficial for us to release those children, why don't we do it?" It's just children, and if they are released, they won't become a climate. ”

The third prince was really still on his side, and Qin Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Next, it's up to Mozang Kedun.

Mozang Kodun had no sympathy, and even felt that it was easier to kill the prisoners. But she has always hated the eldest prince, and when the eldest prince said east, she naturally had to go west.

"The eldest prince doesn't understand the heart of a mother." Mozang Kedun said with emotion, "In a mother's heart, the child is always the most important. Just like a she-wolf on the prairie guarding her calves, she will do anything for her children. The Khan let their children return to the country, how could those women in the Central Plains not be grateful to Dade? In the future, it will be more convenient to control them. ”

What does it mean to "not understand the heart of a mother"? When the eldest prince heard this, his face was distorted. Mozang Kodun said this to him on purpose. He can't wait to scold, what kind of mother does a mean woman pretend to be.

However, when Tuoba heard his mother's sensational words, he actually nodded and said, "Mother said yes." ”

Satisfied with his son's reaction, Mozang Kodun smiled at the eldest prince and then glanced at his younger brother, Mozang Dasi.

Mozang Dasi received the signal and immediately supported the views of the third prince on behalf of the Black Rock Department. He smiled and said, "Is it necessary to have such a stirring discussion about such a trivial matter as a captive?" In fact, it can be put down or not. My sister is kind, she wants to let it go, so let it go. ”

"Kedun is merciful." Subsequently, people from the third prince's faction also agreed to release the prisoners.

"When will we Xiang Qiang let go of the captives, this precedent cannot be opened." There are also objections. However, even if there were a few people who were not accustomed to Black Rock and stood firmly by the side of the Great Prince, the Great Prince's power was not as strong as that of the Black Rock tribe, and he was quickly defeated.

Not only was the eldest prince no match for the Kuroyan tribe, but even the Khan had to respect the Kuroiwa Mozo clan. After all, Black Rock is the second of the four major tribes, and their Black Panther cavalry is even comparable to the Khan's Qingyun Iron Guard.

The Khan looked at his two sons, then at Kedun's brother, and at Mozang Kedun's look of aspiration. Finally he ordered: "Those who are not tall enough to whip them, let them go." ”

Qin Luo thought about the height of the six princes, fortunately, he was quite short.

After dealing with the captivity, Tuoba Hao remembered that there was still a slave kneeling, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Qin Luo."

"Oh, Qin Luo." Tuoba Hao laughed inexplicably, "Qin Luo, are you taking refuge in my Xiang Qiang?" ”

That's a vicious question. Could it be that Qin Luo can still say it? Wouldn't that overturn what he just said? For the sake of the six princes, he could only pretend to surrender: "Of course." ”

The crowd burst into laughter once more, this time clearly a mockery of the traitor.

Khan also smiled, he pointed to the third prince, and said casually: "Since the third prince likes to drink tea, you can go and serve under his tent." ”

Although Qin Luo's words were reasonable, Tuoba Hao was just unhappy that he used the fight between his two sons to exploit loopholes to achieve his goals. What Tuoba Hao didn't know was that what Qin Luo would love to do most in the future was to use his strength to take advantage of the contradictions of various tribes in the grassland to influence the situation.
