Chapter 18: The Battle of Tongues
After the erection day, the cavalry in front of the royal tent moved frequently, it seemed to be a routine change of guard, Yuwenshen was brought into the Khan's tent by the servants, at this time Anapu sat in the south of the Khan's tent in a large space, only to see that he was wearing a crown, the crown head was obliquely inserted with three feathers, holding a golden scepter in his hand, and there were high-level nobles sitting next to Rouran, and Chun Yuqin was standing next to Anapu Khan, the atmosphere was very solemn, and they were waiting for the arrival of the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty.
I saw that after Yuwen Shen was taken to the center of the big tent by the servant with the talisman in his hand, the servant hurriedly retreated.
After Yu Wenshen saw Anapu in the middle hall, he quickly took a step forward, bowed his body and saluted while saluting: "Yu Wenshen, the envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, meet the Great Khan, may the Great Khan be in good health, and wish Rouran a prosperous country and a prosperous people!" β
I saw a general sitting on the ground next to him with his hair draped on the left side suddenly stood up and blurted out: "Envoy of a small country, why don't you bow down to my Great Khan of the Celestial Dynasty!" Come on, drag it out and cut it! And he saw two soldiers coming in from outside the tent.
At this time, Yuwen Shen was also calm, so he replied: "I can die, but Rouran will lose a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity that is enough to make Rouran strong!" He turned around and walked outside the big tent, and at this time he only heard a dull voice: "Slow... β
Anapu, who was in the middle hall, spoke at this time: "The Yuwen family of the Western Wei Dynasty really lives up to its reputation!" What powerful opportunity? Isn't my Da Rouran the most powerful empire in the world? At this time, Anapu waved his hand to the soldiers, and the two soldiers respectfully retreated outside the big tent.
Yu Wenshen turned around and walked to the center of the big tent, and said sonorously: "At this time, the powerful Rouran is all because of the internal strife in my Great Wei and I have no time to look north, if my Great Wei is unified, may I ask, is the powerful Rouran the opponent of my Great Wei?" β
At this time, the general with the left hair next to him interjected again: "I have a blood feud with Great Wei, are you here to find death?" β
Yuwen looked at his person sideways, stared at him with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "I don't know the general, what position do you have now?" β
The general with his hair on the left side said proudly: "I am a gentle general!" β
Yu Wenshen blurted out: "It turned out to be a small general, what qualifications do you have to reprimand the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty?" β
I saw this general said angrily: "In the era of my Rouran Three Khans, you Great Wei wantonly provoked wars, did not give up, chased me until Mobei, and almost wiped out my clan, shouldn't you kill me?" β
At this time, Anapu just watched this scene quietly, but did not want to intervene, the purpose was to frustrate the spirit of the envoy, so as to show that Rouran was not easy to bully.
Yu Wenshen blurted out and asked loudly, "May I ask who is in charge of Rouran?" β
The general blurted out: "Of course it is my Great Khan who calls the shots!" β
Yuwen Shen asked rhetorically: "Your ministry has been in the grassland for a hundred years, although I was the Great Wei Daowu Emperor Tuoba Jue, and the Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao was almost wiped out, and I also heard that your country followed my Great Wei to carry out the Sinicization reform, but I don't know that there are 100 people in the family, and there is one person in charge?" Now that the Great Khan has not spoken, you are a small general, and you can only command a team of 100 people, do you want to rebel? The Great Khan is above, who gave you the courage to reprimand the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty? Is Rouran a country without rules? While reprimanding the general stiffly, he saluted Anapu in the middle hall.
I saw that the general's face turned green at this time, and he stammered: "You... I... But he could not utter any words.
Anapu stared at the general, only to see the general quickly kneel down and say: "Great Khan, the minister is dead!" "People in the chaotic world are like mustard, everyone is worried about losing their lives and lives at some point, and this general is no exception, I saw a lot of sweat on his forehead, and his hands on the ground trembled incessantly.
The scheming Anapu spoke: "Excuse me! The general slowly got up and sat down obediently. The sharp-eyed Yu Wenshen glanced at the general fiercely, but the general subconsciously avoided Yu Wenshen's gaze.
Anapu walked down the middle hall and circled in the big tent, and the Rouran nobles sitting on the ground all bowed their heads and did not dare to look up at the Khan Anapu, so Anapu passed by Yu Wenshen and returned to the middle hall to sit down, constantly fiddling with the golden scepter in his hand, and said to Yu Wenshen: "The foot is good at arguing, the words are like knives, do you want to follow the example of Su Qin and Zhang Yi of the Han Dynasty, and prosper the country with one word?" β
Yu Wenshen replied at this time: "I heard that the Great Khan moved his family to Luoyang to live in order to avoid the coup d'Γ©tat of the Khan Court when he was a child. As he spoke, he held his hand and saluted Anapu.
I saw Chun Yuqin, who was on the right side of Anapu, constantly hinting at Yuwenshen with his eyes, and he was quite anxious, so Anapu glanced at Chun Yuqin sideways, and Chun Yuqin pretended to be indifferent.
Anapu turned back to Yuwen Shen and asked, "Don't be polite, and say that I'm not strong enough, so what is the opportunity you are talking about?" Don't sell it, tell the truth, tell the truth! β
Yuwen Shen then said slowly: "Rouran, this was originally another part of my Great Wei, and later my Great Wei Daowu Emperor Tuoba Jue was immaculate to the north for the Central Plains, and the control of the grassland was returned to Rouran, and Rouran's geographical location was dangerous, located in the north, between the Eastern and Western Wei, and now my Great Wei is divided into two, without strong checks and balances, looking around the world, this is the opportunity for Rouran to rise again!" β
Anapu pondered for a while, so he held the golden scepter in his right hand, and motioned to Yuwen Shen with his left hand: "Dare to ask Mr. to make it clear, how should I act in Rouran?" β
Yuwen saw that there was a door, so he said slowly: "Today's Great Wei is divided into two, and Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty has repeatedly defeated my Western Wei, and its real purpose is to unify the north, once my Western Wei is destroyed by it, its next strategy will be to focus on Rouran, once the northern threat is cut off, and then the whole country will go south to pacify Xiao Liang and complete unification!" Gao Huan and his people can directly compare with Emperor Qin and Han Wu! β
Anapu was surprised at this time: "Is it true that Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty is so eloquent? β
The confident Yuwen Shen held his hand and saluted and said slowly: "Yes, the Great Khan, I will cite its family history, the Great Khan can see the clues, the original Gao Huan was just a post between Huaishuo and Luoyang, the six towns of the Great Wei uprising, Gao Huan turned to serve Ge Rong, and then rebelled to the Tianzhu general Er Zhurong to help him destroy Ge Rong, Er Zhurong relied on it, and once predicted that after his death, Gao Huan will replace himself, sure enough, after the death of Er Zhurong, Gao Huan collected the exiles of the Great Wei, and trained it to become the main force of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, exterminated all Erzhu, and decided the Eastern Wei Dynasty in a war. In the central court of Jinyang remote control Yecheng, its people, its courage, and its talent are only rare, and it is indeed a generation of heroes, if this person is allowed to destroy my Western Wei and unify the Great Wei, then it will rely on its own strong national strength to support, and Rouran will face disaster again! β
At this time, Anapu and the Rouran nobles present were all dumbfounded, and at the same time, they were deeply impressed by Yuwenshen's eloquence.
I saw Anapu's face look shocked, his hand kept rubbing the golden scepter, he muttered for a moment, and said slowly: "Then according to the opinion of the foot, where will I go?" β
Yu Wenxun had already made a bamboo in his chest at this time, and then said: "If Rouran wants to survive and become strong, now is the opportunity, and this opportunity is only possible for me Xiwei to achieve Rouran!" β
I saw that Anapu suddenly walked down the middle hall with a golden scepter, approached Yuwenshen and asked, "Oh? What do you mean by that? β
Yu Wenshen said again: "I heard that the Great Khan has an eldest daughter, who can be given to my Emperor of the Western Wei, and my emperor has a niece who can be married to the Khan, and the two families will marry and fight the Eastern Wei together!" To maintain the balance of power in the world, first, to achieve a grand marriage; Second, Rouran and the Western Wei Dynasty united to jointly plunder the wealth of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and Rouran could get heavy profits! As long as there is no war in Rouran and we continue to recuperate, won't the country be rich and the people prosperous? Of course, my Western Wei will also pay tribute to Rouran every year! Won't the Khan sit back and reap the benefits? β
Anapu smiled at this time and said, "Is there really such a good thing in the world? I have been a country for a hundred years, I have stood up in the fight of blood and fire, I have never believed in the covenant, there are no permanent friends in the world, and there are no permanent enemies, if I Rouran helps you through the crisis of the Western Wei Dynasty, and after your lord has a complete advantage, concentrate on attacking my Rouran, then may I ask the envoys, what should I do when I Rouran? β
At this time, the Rouran nobles next to him all turned their heads and ears, and they were all convinced of Anapu's words.
I saw Yu Wenshen, who was holding the talisman, laughed and said: "The Khan is too worried, my narrow corner of the Western Wei is still not enough to protect myself, how can I be strong enough to be an enemy of Rouran?" Besides, the powerful Eastern Wei Dynasty is fighting to the death with our lord, and the Khan's worries are really too much! β
At this time, Anapu took the golden scepter in his hand and circled around Yuwenshen, thinking about what Yuwenshen said, so he walked back to the middle hall and sat down, and asked the waiter on the right side with a sideways face: "What do you think?" β
Chun Yuqin glanced at Yuwen Shen in the center of the felt tent, and put his right hand into a fist on his chest and saluted Anapu: "Great Khan, Great Wei and I Rouran have a feud, but now the situation is that the words of the envoys of the Western Wei can be described as three points, I Rouran is located in the north just bordering the Eastern and Western Wei, and the Eastern and Western Wei are at war, so I Rouran does have great benefits, or I can not help on both sides, so that I Rouran will become the third most powerful force, and the two parties will compete to win over, and the minister thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to be Rouran!" β
After Chun Yuqin finished speaking, everyone in the Khan's tent nodded to each other with a smile on their faces, as a sign of strong agreement, because Rouran was a nomadic tribal empire, and all the starting points were to see whether it was beneficial or not, and there was no credibility.
At this time, Anapu, who was in the middle hall, was quite happy, looked around at the left and right subordinates and nodded with a smile, so he walked down the middle hall again, approached Yuwenshen and said: "The envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty are bold, your eloquence and courage are really unparalleled in the world, can you stay in my Da Rouran, I can set up a special official position for my feet!" β
Yu Wenshen then saluted Anapu with his hand: "Thank you Great Khan for your loving heart!" But I am a member of the Yuwen family, my life belongs to my uncle Prime Minister Yuwentai, I was born a person of the Western Wei Dynasty, and I am a ghost of the Western Wei Dynasty when I die, and the appreciation of the Great Khan is my great honor! β
After hearing Yu Wenshen's words, Anapu showed appreciation on his face, and walked back to the middle hall with the golden scepter and praised it: "Da Wei is really an outstanding person, unfathomable!" Okay, I will agree to the invitation of the Western Wei Dynasty, and agree that the two sides will jointly raise troops to attack the Eastern Wei Dynasty! β
Yu Wenshen, who was holding the talisman, was very happy to praise after hearing Anapu's promise: "The Great Khan is clear and decisive, worthy of the lord of the steppe, and my lord will thank the khan for his kindness!" β
So he hurriedly withdrew from the Khan's tent. At the same time, Anapu revealed a sense of reluctance.
After completing the mission, Yuwen Shen hurriedly packed up his salute, and led the Western Wei envoy group to return to Chang'an, only to see Chun Yuqin in the distance trotting all the way to say goodbye, Yuwen Shen hurriedly ran up to greet him, only to see the two approaching, Chun Yuqin grabbed Yuwen Shen's hands and said: "Virtuous nephew and great talent, the future will be immeasurable, please take me to say hello to Prime Minister Yuwen when I go back!" β
Yuwen Shen also said with feelings: "Okay! Uncle Chun Yu should also take care of himself in the bitter cold land! β
I saw Chun Yuqin grabbing Yu Wenshen's hands, very reluctant, and unconsciously the tears in his eyes kept rolling, so he looked at the floating clouds in the sky and groaned for a while, let go of Yu Wenshen's hands, and saluted Yu Wenshen with both hands: "Virtuous nephew cherishes all the way!" β
Yuwen said very nostalgically late at night: "Uncle Chunyu, if you have difficulties in the future, you can go to Chang'an, and my uncle will come out to greet you!" Treasure! After finishing speaking, he also bowed his body and saluted Chun Yu Qin, and was reluctant to take a few steps, so he turned around and got on the horse, and looked at the lonely Chun Yu Qin, grabbed the reins and saluted Chun Yu Qin.
Chun Yuqin then waved his hand to Yuwen Shen and signaled him to go.
Yuwen Shen then turned his head and walked forward, and the soldiers of the Western Wei Mission also followed, leaving only the lonely Chun Yuqin, who was in a foreign country and missed everything in his hometown, the love of his hometown was always so strong, and the people in his hometown were always so close, and it always made people cry when they thought about it.
Yuwenshen completed the strategic planning of Yuwentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, without danger this time, and marched all the way on the vast prairie, flashing the shepherds around him from time to time, only to hear him sing loudly: "Ele River, under the Yin Mountain." The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep! βγ
At this moment, Yuwenshen has no heart for the grassland style, and his heart is always thinking about his uncle Yuwentai, the drought in Longyou, the people are hungry, and his uncle Yuwentai doesn't know how difficult it is, he wants to go back to Chang'an quickly and tell Yuwentai that "the marriage is successful", so that his uncle can quickly solve the drought crisis in the Western Wei Dynasty.
