Chapter 700: Goguryeo Merchant Group
Sure enough, Yang Chong did not show mercy at the critical time, the military counselor Zheng Ting, the counselor Xu Jingzong, and the army Zhang Gongjin came forward, and did not make things difficult for Lu Jilan, and expressed his attitude very happily, considering the life and death of the Turkic people, it is impossible for the suzerain, the suzerain, Dasui, to turn a blind eye, and the food and materials can be replenished, but the population is exchanged, and 20,000 Tiele soldiers are exchanged for Damuro Wei to break away from the Turks, and make up for the so-called number of Turkic abductions.
This plan is actually very beneficial to the Turks, and the escaped Turks will never return to the Lightning River, no matter where they are, whether they are in the city, Yuanshuitou, or Anzhou, they are now safer and easier to survive than the Lightning River. The Great Sui really compensated the Turkic population, which can be described as full of sincerity, but Lu Jilan thought about it for a long time, and still made corrections, 10,000 Tiele soldiers and 10,000 Tiele people, and wanted to go to the Lightning River to ask Damuro Wei's attitude.
This is a matter of no choice, now the strength of the Lightning River is really weak, once Omuro Wei is gone, the Turks themselves will form an army of more than 10,000 people at most, and 20,000 Tiele warriors are too mysterious, in case of mutiny or bombing the camp, it will not be easy for the Turks to even suppress it. It is much easier to deal with the people of Tiele, not to mention that with the people in hand, those prisoners of Tiele must at least have some scruples and will not mess around at will.
Lu Jilan reported the results of the meeting to the lightning river, and Bu Lishe was furious, and almost killed Luo Dan and begged for a knot, but was persuaded by Zhao Deyan and Lu Jilan, now is not the time to compete, survival first. Xue Yantuo robbed most of the Turks' cattle, sheep and grain, but Xu Shiji and the Turks' reinforcements did not return to the Turks after they were snatched back, which was also discovered afterwards, and the Sui army's pursuit was for cattle and sheep grain, so after they got it, they happily withdrew their troops.
As long as the Great Sui does not give food, the Great Chamber Wei and the Turks will rise up to make trouble, and without the Great Sui and Xue Yantuo sending troops, there will be chaos inside the Lightning River; In the past, the Turks now wanted to go where to grab it and get some supplies to come back to live, but now they can't beat the Great Sui or Xue Yantuo, and the Turks can only nest in the Lightning River and eat the mountains. The grain of the Great Sui was crucial, unless the Turks did not want the Lightning River.
When Luo Dan learned about this, he could only thank God for his favor, the king of Yue in Zhuo County, like Xu Shiji and Wang Ting, was full of kindness to Omurowei. The Lightning River was short of supplies, and the Turks could barely sustain themselves on two meals a day, and the people of Omuro Wei would not have even been provided with food for one meal if they did not go hunting; At that time, when Xu Shiji predicted the predicament of Lightning River, Luo Dan thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to be true, but fortunately, Da Sui did not watch from the sidelines.
Omuro Wei withdrew to the Lightning River only Luo Dan and Julu Division, and the rest of the people were all annexed by the Turkic Guli cadres, Tiele's Xi Jie, and Xie Xue Division. Among the 5,000 people in Luo Dan's beggar headquarters, Luo Dan beggar took 2,000 people to join the Jinglue Mansion in Yuanshuitou, and his family was placed in Yingzhou; The Julu Department was organized into the Tuntian Army and placed in the Yunzhong Metropolitan Protectorate, and the leader Mo Heguang was appointed as the captain of the Tuntian Colonel in northern Qin.
There was a fiery sun hanging in the sky, and the water of the lightning river was as clear as a mirror, shining ripples in the sun; The scenery of the distant mountains was confused, and as the fog cleared up, occasionally a cloud drifted by, obscuring the sun, and the scenery was dark for a while. The farmland developed during the Tuli period is almost barren, it seems that people can't see the hope of farming, Zhao Deyan stands at the edge of the field, there is infinite melancholy, Tuli is the Central Plains who are closest to the Han people, Jieli Khan drove him away, it is impossible to judge whether it is right or wrong.
Zhao Deyan looked up at the sky, Tuli took away those stewards who were in charge of farming, and now it is difficult to find someone who can take over the burden, although farming is not a livelihood that requires a secret recipe, but experience and inexperience are completely different. Coupled with the unruliness of the Turks and the departure of the immigrants of Omurowe, the Lightning River was a place of sorrow, and supplies became the most sought-after thing; The more this situation is, the more intense the robbery nature of the Hu people becomes, and few merchants have come to Lightning River.
No, there is a caravan, Zhao Deyan stared at it, there was really a caravan, coming slowly; There were already five or six hundred Turkic cavalry surrounding, but the other side was more than five hundred, and the Turkic warriors were obviously hesitant. The two horsemen came back quickly to tell that it was a caravan from Goguryeo; Zhao Deyan got on his horse and rushed to the front, only to hear the centurion who led the team say that the guest led by was the famous general Gai Suwen of Goguryeo, and Wang Xiaohu, who had been missing in the Turks for two years, was also in the caravan.
Gai Suwen showed a strong smile in the sun, and saluted Zhao De, saying that his surname was Gao, and he was a merchant who had come to buy horses; Zhao Deyan knew that Gai Suwen must have confidential matters on this trip, so he took the two to the secret room, and sent someone to find Bu Lishe and Lu Jilan to discuss together, Gai Suwen said the intention in a simple and easy-to-understand manner: "With the current advantage of the Great Sui, even if we Goguryeo occupy Liaodong, we will not be able to settle down and live, only if our Turkic, Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo, and Hui Quartet join forces, it is possible to defeat the Great Sui and restore the Northeast to the situation previously under the joint management, I brought a letter from Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui. ”
Xue Yantuo's Yi Nan and Hui Shi Jian both said in the letter that in the past, they were consumed by the desire for profit, but now they can see clearly that the most terrible thing is that the Great Sui is willing to re-respect the Turks as the suzerain, make up for their mistakes, and follow the Turks to expel the Sui people in the northeast. Bu Li set up his heart, what did he do earlier, and now he is being beaten all over the ground by others, and the Great Sui occupies half of the Northeast before he remembers that he cannot resist the Great Sui without the Turks; Zhao Deyan said with a smile on his face: "The two of you have worked hard, we will go to the post house to rest for the time being, and we still need to ask the Khan for this matter." ”
Regardless of whether Lightning River wants to fight or not, Bu Li Sheh and Zhao Deyan can't actually be the master, without Jieli Khan to speak, everything is in vain, Gai Suwen smiled and said with a smile of understanding: "The last general understands, with Lord Lao Zhao and Bu Lishe, I hope to hear good news as soon as possible, the Northeast is the Northeast of our various ethnic groups, and the Han and Xianbei people cannot be enslaved." ”
Lu Jilan was unhappy when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "Goguryeo didn't enslave the Fuyu people and the Yan people? ”
Gai Suwen's eyes suddenly showed a cold light, and Zhao Deyan hurriedly introduced: "This is Mr. Lu Jilan, the thinker of Princess Yicheng, who is a talented and arrogant master, even in the face of the Khan. ”
Gai Suwen naturally knew that Princess Yicheng could be the master of half of the Turks, and if Lu Jilan had this attitude towards Jieli Khan, he really couldn't care about it, so he bowed his face and said goodbye. Zhao Deyan immediately asked Lu Jilan to leave and return to Dali City to report to Jieli Khan, now there is no other good way but to hand over the problem and wait for the final decision of the Khan.
