Chapter 161: Alliance Edden

In 391 A.D., in the middle of March, he was twenty miles south of Lingju. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Fei and Fuqu Nancheng sat upright and looked into the distance, anxiously waiting for the team of Qianqin to send off their relatives.

"Lord Jiang, why hasn't the family sending team come yet? Nothing could go wrong, right? ”

"You have a lot of heart, who in the northwest dares to touch the woman of Daduhu? Unless you're impatient. ”

"Let's wait, it should be almost there."

After Jiang Fei replied casually, he said murderously: "However, if someone really doesn't open his eyes...... Hum! ”

In order to welcome Princess Dongping into Hexi, Wei Shuo sent Jiang Fei and Fuqu Nan to lead 6,000 iron horsemen to the south, just in case.

I have to say that Wei Shuo's caution is very reasonable.

The marriage between the two parties has attracted the attention of all parties, and there are no less than two or three families who intend to sabotage it.

If it weren't for the strong strength of Hexi, I am afraid that as early as when passing by Xiqin, the princess would be snatched away by the beggar Qiangui.

This time, the family sending procession openly passed through Western Qin, but it was instructed by Fu Deng, and it was nothing more than to beat the beggar and return home.

In addition to begging for a return, Yao Chang naturally wanted to destroy the marriage between the two parties, but unfortunately he was a little out of reach.

Yao Chang once secretly instigated the begging to return to the country, but unfortunately the bladder was too small to provoke Hexi.

Six thousand Hexi Iron Cavalry suddenly appeared in Lingnan, causing the two small countries of Nanliang and Houliang to tremble, for fear of causing unforeseen disasters.

The bald Wugu could only strengthen the troops of Guangwu City, monitor the Hexi Iron Cavalry, and repeatedly warned his subordinates not to harass the family sending team at any time, so that the people of Hexi could pick up the princess smoothly and not provoke right and wrong.

……

Along the way, Fu Guang finally appreciated the might of Hexi, and in the entire northwest, except for Yao Chang, any force had to bow to it.

When passing by Jincheng, the beggar who ignored the former Qin Ai in the past not only took the initiative to set up a banquet in Jincheng to entertain himself, but also specially gave a generous gift, which was all for the west of the river.

Thinking of this, he somewhat understood why his brother Fu Deng insisted on marrying Hexi, but he was suffering from his own sister-in-law.

He turned his head to look at the big red sedan chair and sighed secretly.

He was a brother and sister of Fu Deng and Dongping Princess Fu Qiongnai, whose father was a former Qin Jianjie general who was later killed by the famous tyrant Fu Sheng.

Since childhood, the three of them have shared hardships and suffered a lot.

Even if Fu Deng became the emperor, as a brother and sister, he did not enjoy any rich life.

Today, for the revenge of his brother, he had to marry his sister to the remote Hexi.

And Fu Qiong, who was sitting in a sedan chair, was not as sentimental as Fu Guang, she was not like her brother who had deep feelings for Qianqin, but was full of curiosity about Wei Shuo.

……

At the end of March, the former Qin Situ Fuguang and Princess Dongping successfully arrived in Guzang.

Subsequently, Hexi and Former Qin formally discussed the specific conditions of peace and alliance.

Song Xuan, a representative of Hexi, and Fu Guang, a former Qin representative, sat together, and the atmosphere of the first meeting was very tense.

Fu Guang was angry with Hexi because of LΓΌ Guang's death, and even had an extremely bad attitude at first.

Fu Guangming's grievances against Lu Guang were not because he had deep feelings for him, but because he wanted to gain the upper hand morally in order to gain favorable conditions in the negotiations.

It's a pity that Song Miao is not simple, he saw through the other party's intentions at a glance, so he did not show weakness and accused Lu Guang of being despicable and shameless.

said that he first took advantage of Fu Jian's death to steal Liangzhou, and then united with the family to plot against Hexi, which was completely innocent.

In short, the first meeting ended in a quarrel and invective, and nothing came of it.

Wei Shuo had long expected that any alliance and peace talks would involve a lot of ruffles and transactions.

But as long as both sides have alliance demands, sooner or later a compromise will be reached.

The next day, Wei Shuo invited Fu Guang to a banquet, at which Wei Shuo first affirmed Fu Jian's life achievements, gave moral support to Fu Deng for holding high the banner of revenge, and did not forget to condemn the shameless villain Yao Chang.

The meeting laid the groundwork for the next talks between the two sides, and also made Fu Guang realize that Hexi was unlikely to bleed heavily.

The next talks were a lot more pragmatic between the two sides, among which Fu Guangyi Fu Deng intended to put forward three major conditions in Hexi.

First, Wei Shuo must marry Princess Dongping as his wife, and it is impossible for Princess Daqin to be a concubine.

This article was fiercely opposed by Song Xuan, not to mention that Guo Yuan had given birth to a son-in-law for Wei Shuo, just the fact that he was born in the Guo family was enough.

The Dunhuang Guo clan is the key chess piece of Wei Shuo to stabilize the Hexi family, how can it be easily discarded?

The stable development that Hexi needs at the moment will never bury the good situation for the sake of a mere former Qin.

"Situ, you better put forward some practical conditions, even if you break the alliance with the former Qin, it is impossible for you to agree to this condition."

Looking at Song Xuan, who was full of determination, Fu Guang was embarrassed, but he didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous condition in the eyes of the former Qin people was actually a death hole in Hexi.

Now it seems that unless the two sides break off the alliance, they will have to accept the conditions of Hexi, but how to tell my sister when I go back?

The second condition of the former Qin was to ask Hexi for grain, grass, ordnance and other materials, since the logistics of the fight against Fu Deng was attacked by Yao Chang in the Great Realm, the Fu army has been very difficult, and is in urgent need of material relief.

For this, although Song Miao felt a little embarrassed, he said that he could support Qianqin as appropriate.

Before the negotiations, Song Miao had already been instructed by Wei Shuo to maintain the immortality of Fudeng at present, which was beneficial to Hexi.

Therefore, even if the supplies in Hexi are tight at the moment, Song Miao still promised to support Qianqin.

Fortunately, in recent years, the wind and rain in Hexi have been smooth, and there are grains imported from the Western Regions, Persia and other countries, so that the balance can be maintained.

After repeated discussions, Hexi was willing to support 200,000 stone of grain and some ordnance in the former Qin.

In addition to the food that made Hexi a little painful, those ordnance were all captured, and they were originally left in Hexi for the use of township warriors and government soldiers in various places. Now, with a new round of army reorganization and redressing, a large number of old ordnance was retired from the box army and handed over to the government soldiers and village warriors.

In addition to the above two conditions, Fu Guang also proposed to let Hexi move south from Shuozhou to attack the Weibei Plateau in order to threaten Chang'an.

Although the Military Division had already secretly formulated a plan to go south to seize Weibei and Guanzhong, at present, at least for two or three years, Hexi had no intention of going south, so Song Miao refused without hesitation.

"Lord Changshi, Hexi is too insincere, my emperor only put forward three conditions in total, and you rejected both of them at once."

"Situ's accusation is so unreasonable, why is Hexi insincere? If you are not sincere, why do you easily take away 200,000 stone of grain as soon as your upper and lower lips touch? ”

"As for the other two conditions, it is simply your country's unreasonable trouble."

"Let's not talk about how ridiculous it is to let the head of my family depose my mother, and it is nonsense to just say that I sent troops to Weibei."

"How can it be nonsense? Since you and I have formed an alliance, Hexi, as an ally, shouldn't we share the pressure for our allies? ”

"Huh? It is precisely because the two families are allies that they can't just let Hexi contribute to the former Qin, what have you done for Hexi? ”

"Lord Changshi, it's not authentic for you to say that, my emperor will marry his own sister to Hexi, isn't that enough?"

In Fu Guang's opinion, Hexi is simply too deceitful, and the former Qin is so aggrieved, and the other party even deducts the rope.

How did Fu Guang know that in recent years, under the training of Wei Shuo, the people of Hexi have long stopped paying attention to false fame, but have pursued practical profits.

"Hehe, no matter what Lord Situ says, in short, Hexi has no intention of going south for the time being, at least not this year."

Song Miao also did not want the two sides to break the alliance, and finally left some hope for the former Qin people.

Sure enough, when Fu Guang heard that he would not send troops this year, his face suddenly looked a lot better, so he took the initiative to take a step back and no longer asked Hexi to send troops to Weibei immediately.

After several days of difficult negotiations, Hexi and Former Qin finally reached an agreement on an alliance.

Specifically, the former Qin married Princess Dongping to Wei Shuo as a concubine and became the brother-in-law of the former Qin Emperor. It's just that when all parties were confused, Wei Shuo resigned from the titles of Da Dan Yu and King Xiliang of Fu Deng, and still felt at ease to be his protector.

After the news of the alliance between Former Qin and Hexi reached Chang'an, Yao Chang was nervous.

After competing with Fu Deng for several years, he finally gained the upper hand, and was about to get rid of it in one go, but unexpectedly killed Hexi halfway.

Yao Chang was unwilling to be trapped, and after consulting with Yin Wei, Yao Shuode, Yao Xing, etc., he hurriedly sent envoys to Western Yan and Northern Wei, intending to gather the three forces to deal with Hexi.

Not to mention that the Western Yan was too busy to take care of themselves, the Northern Wei Dynasty responded enthusiastically to the alliance with the Later Qin.

After failing to ask Murong Trai for help, Tuoba Jue has been looking for new allies, and now Hou Qin has come to the door.
