In the winter of 394 AD, the Rouran captives were about to be escorted to Guzang.

Due to the deep evil caused by the Rouran people in Shazhou, it caused a shouting and killing sound in Hexi.

Some people even proposed to pass on Yu Jiulu Shelun to Mobei to set an example.

There are only a few far-sighted people who feel that they can't stop killing, and it is recommended that most of them protect and appease the Rouran people.

Although Wei Shuo has made up his mind in his heart, in the face of the turbulent public opinion in the outside world, it is not good for him to 'insist on going his own way'.

In order to unify the minds of the upper and lower levels, Wei Shuo convened a large meeting in the Imperial Protectorate to discuss the fate of Rouran Khan.

After most people expressed their opinions, Wei Shuo was noncommittal, but turned his head to look at Cui Hao.

"Bo Yuan has always been far-sighted, I don't know what to think about this matter?"

Cui Hao already knew the intentions of most of the people, and immediately heard the song and knew the meaning of the strings, and said: "Everyone, forgive Hao for being blunt, it is easy to be soft and soft, but it is difficult to serve softly!" ”

Wei Shuo bowed slightly, worthy of being the most intelligent White Horse Gong in history, who knew the will of the monarch and should speak for the monarch.

Sometimes, it is inconvenient for someone to speak up, so someone needs to take the initiative to stand up.

Historically, all those who can understand the holy will, regardless of whether they are loyal ministers or traitors, have all risen to prominence and enjoyed glory and wealth.

"Please Bo Yuan speak in detail, and Shuo listens." Wei Shuo cooperated.

"My lord, my colleagues, you must know that Rouran is located in the desert north, relying on the benefits of the cavalry and the vastness of the grassland, and will not be satisfied for a long time."

"Although it is easy to break it now, it has not convinced him, even if he kills Rouran Khan, it is difficult to ensure that Rouran will not continue to cause trouble."

Indeed it is! Wei Shuo nodded secretly, and what Cui Hao said was worried in his heart. Killing a Rouran Khan is not enough to pacify Rouran. As long as Hexi does not unify the northern region and does not take the southern grassland, it will have little deterrent power against the northern part of the country.

It's even more unrealistic to send troops to occupy it directly, and you can't just repeatedly conquer Rouran, right?!

Not to mention, falling into a dispute with Rouran will also allow the Northern Wei Dynasty to reap the benefits, which is completely detrimental to oneself and others.

Cui Hao saw that most of the eyes were smiling, and knew that he had said something about the other party's heart, so he was shocked, and said: "Besides, the relationship between Rouran and Tuoba Wei is complicated, and the two sides have both a deep blood feud and a deep connection. ”

"If the persecution in Hexi is very deep, and Rouran has no way out, he will go south to the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"And once Rouran gets the help of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it will be like a tiger with wings, and if it harasses the northern Xinjiang again, Hexi's worries will never be solved."

"Rather than this, it is better to appease Yu Jiulu Shelun and let it be used by Hexi, so as to contain the Northern Wei Dynasty with the power of Rouran."

"Rouran is wild and untamable, I'm afraid it's not easy to appease, I don't know if Bo Yuan has a countermeasure?"

"According to the opinion below, it is advisable to follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou to attack the Southern Barbarians, and take the attack as the top."

"As long as you can convince his heart, he will definitely be able to make Rouran serve Hexi as the master."

"Attack the heart first...... Well, those who know me are also Bo Yuan! ”

……

From being captured by Hexi, along the way, Yu Jiulu Shelun felt that life was worse than death.

At this moment, the famous Rouran Khan was leaning in the prisoner cart with his hair scattered and his bare feet.

He stared blankly at the sky, looking at the scenery outside the prisoner car that was completely different from Mobei, and there were endless oases and deserts everywhere.

The setting sun bursts through the clouds, emitting a golden glow that adds brilliant colors to the vast mountains.

However, he had no intention of admiring the surrounding scenery, and until now he could not accept the fact that Rouran had failed.

Who would have thought that in just one day, tens of thousands of Rouran Iron Riders would disappear.

A large number of tribal nobles, elders, and generals were captured, and he himself was reduced from the lord of the tribe to a prisoner.

After Hexi defeated the Rouran army, he sent a group of captives to Guzang and handed them over to the Dadu Protector.

I remember that when I was first captured, some of the Rouran people refused to obey the discipline, and as a result, after eating a killing stick, they all came down honestly.

Later, they were tied into a string with ropes, driven by leather whips, and marched to Guzang on foot.

On the way, if there is the slightest hint of ill intentions, the Hexi people in charge of guarding will not hesitate to wave the horizontal knife.

"Khan, Khan."

Hearing someone whispering to him, Yu Jiulu Shelun turned his head and saw the prime minister following the prisoner car on foot.

I saw that the prime minister, like the other prisoners, was tied with his hands tied, and his clothes were whipped to tatters.

Yu Jiulu Shelun recognized it for a long time before he recognized it, and the person who looked like a beggar in front of him was actually the minister of state in the original tribe.

"Prime Minister?" He asked softly.

The prime minister nodded, slowly moved to the side of the prisoner car, and asked with a miserable face: "Khan, where are we going to be escorted?" ”

"I don't know, Ben Khan guessed it should be Gu Zang."

"That'...... Shall we ...... Are we going to be beheaded? ”

"I don't know, it's all up to fate."

After chatting with the prime minister for a while, he was forcibly separated by the Hexi people.

Yu Jiulu Shelun had no choice but to huddle in the prisoner car again, letting the wind and rain blow.

He was lucky, most of them didn't even have a prison car, and they were walking on foot with their hands tied, shivering in the cold wind.

The captives staggered forward under the whip of the leather whip.

There were many Rouran people in the middle who never got up after falling down because they couldn't bear the hardships.

It was precisely by relying on harsh abuse that they changed the image of the Han people in the hearts of the Rouran people, and for the first time made them afraid of the Han people.

Along the way, there were stops and stops, and new captives were constantly added in between, and some people were selected and taken away, and they didn't know where they went.

It was not until they arrived in Guzang that the treatment of the captives improved

……

On this day, in the prison, a general with bright armor suddenly came, and he pointed to Yu Jiulu Shelun and said, "Come here, bring out the Rouran Khan." ”

Not long after, Yu Jiulu Shelun was pushed by the guards into a large house, and a young man sat in it.

Before he could react, he heard the general shout, "Kneel! ”

Hearing this, Yu Jiulu Shelun's face twitched for a while, and finally he endured the humiliation and knelt down.

Seeing this scene, Wei Shuo nodded secretly, feeling that this Rouran Khan was not a waste, but a little scheming.

Since he planned to let the Rouran people act as the knife in Hexi's hands, the leader couldn't do it without some skills.

However, in order to control Rouran, you have to subdue the Rouran Khan in front of you first.

Thinking of this, Wei Shuo suddenly shouted: "Yu Jiulu Shelun, why did you violate my border? ”

"Man dies for money, birds die for food! I was in the cold, and I had to do it in order to survive. ”

"What a compel! is worthy of being a barbarian, and even such shameless words can be spoken. ”

"Most of the people are biased, and everything they say is true, so why is it shameless?"

Yu Jiulu Shelun said with a face full of indignation: "Most of the people who have lived in a rich place for a long time naturally can't understand the suffering of the Rouran people. ”

"What is your suffering?"

"Most of them don't know anything, Rouran was invaded by Xianbei, lost the Monan grassland, and had nowhere to stay, so they had to go north to Mobei. However, the desert north is very cold, and life is difficult. ”

"In order to survive, I had to offend most of the tigers! I implore most of the adults to protect the adults and not remember the villains. ”

"In this way, you are not sincerely an enemy of Hexi?!"

"Most of them are wise, even if the little ones eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, they don't dare to act against you, they are really forced by life."

"Mobei is too poor, and the Rouran people don't know anything except grazing, and they can't even afford to eat salt."

Looking at Yu Jiulu Shelun, who was crying miserably in front of him, Wei Shuo sneered in his heart.

However, he didn't plan to expose the other party's tricks, and at the same time, Hexi also needed an excuse to pardon Rouran Khan.

"Well, since you didn't intend to invade Hexi, and you sincerely repented, Bendu is willing to give Rouran another chance!"

Yu Jiulu Shelun heard the words and forcibly endured the ecstasy in his heart, and thought that he would have to spend more words, but he didn't expect to pass the test so easily.

At that moment, he also forgot about the humiliation and kept kowtowing to Wei Shuo to express his gratitude.

"Thank you Daduhu for your magnanimity, in the future, I will always surrender to Hexi, and I will never dare to violate the border of Hexi."

"Hehe, Khan, don't be busy thanking you yet, Bendu Hu still has something to say."

"It's okay to protect most of them, Ben Khan will do it."

"Is that true?"

"A gentleman's word, a quick horse!"

"Okay, Khan is really happy, as long as you agree to the conditions of the Bendu protection, Shuo will immediately release you and the Rouran warriors to return to the tribe."

"If this happens, Rouran will not rebel against Dadu for the rest of his life."

If Yu Jiulu Shelun could see through the future, he would definitely regret what he said today.

Because it was today's promise that tied the Rouran people to the Hexi chariot forever, became a lifelong thug in Hexi, and paid a huge price for Hexi to dominate the world.
