"It is said that this time Rouran invaded my border and killed my subjects, and you should be killed to set an example."

"However, God has the virtue of a good life, and Bendu is not a murderer, and I just listened to the Khan's statement, and I deeply sympathize with Rouran's suffering."

Wei Shuo put on a compassionate look and said: "As long as Rouran surrenders to Hexi, Shuo will not only forgive Er and other sins, but also allow the two sides to open a market for mutual trade to solve the problem of Rouran's lack of materials." ”

"In this way, the people on both sides can enjoy a peaceful life, and Shuo does not have to work and lose money to send troops to Mobei."

"Khan, do you say yes or no?"

"What Dadu Hu said is very true, but I don't know what the conditions of Dadu Hu are?"

"First, after you return to Mobei, when you continue to be the enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, you will harass the Monan grassland from time to time."

"Tuoba Xianbei and I have a common enmity, if we have to return to the north of the desert, immediately raise troops to invade the Northern Wei Dynasty, so that the northern frontier will not be peaceful for a moment."

"Second, Rouran needs to be fully open to Hexi, and must not interfere with Hexi people's business, missionary and other activities."

"This matter is easy to hear, Ben Khan will protect the safety of all Hexi people who come to Mobei, but if there is any accident, Ben Khan will bear it."

"Okay, the Great Khan is really refreshing, so you and I will be sure of it."

"What?! Are these two conditions the only one? ”

Maybe it felt unreal, Yu Jiulu Shelun couldn't help but ask: "It's rare that most of the protectors are not afraid of me going back on my word?" ”

"If you were to think so, you wouldn't think so." Wei Shuo said indifferently.

"Why?"

"Rouran has formed a mortal enmity with the Northern Wei Dynasty, if you offend Hexi again, what future do you have?"

"You're a smart man, and you don't do anything stupid. Great Khan, is Pontus right? ”

"Most of them are wise, and Ben Khan is convinced."

"However, it doesn't matter if you go back on your word, Bendu guards tens of thousands of male iron horses, and I'm afraid that you will be a little soft?"

"As long as you dare to raise the anti-flag, I will cut off all kinds of material supplies first, and then use the army to go north to suppress the border, and then there will be no more good luck like today, and it is not up to you to decide whether you are dead or alive."

"As long as you sincerely belong to Hexi, Bendu will never treat Rouran badly."

Listening to what the capital guards Shuo said, Yu Jiulu Shelun was very moved.

Over the years, Rouran's situation has become increasingly difficult, otherwise he would not have fought the idea of the Western Regions.

If it is really as Dadu Hu said, Rouran will not only have a guaranteed life, but also join forces with Hexi to find Xianbei people to take revenge.

At that moment, Yu Jiulu Shelun did not dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately swore that he was willing to belong to Hexi.

"Ben Khan swears in the name of his ancestors, in the future, Mobei Rouran will wholeheartedly serve the protection of the capital, let Er drive, and there will be no complaints about the liver and brain, if this oath is violated, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed."

"Hahaha, good! From now on, Mobei Rouran is also the people under the name of the capital, and when everything is in order, Shuo Dang personally sends the Khan back to Mobei, and then you and I should communicate with each other and coexist peacefully. ”

"If anyone obstructs it and destroys the peace, everyone should punish him!"

Even if Yu Jiulu Shelun swore allegiance in public, Wei Shuo didn't dare to fully trust the other party, and he needed to use other means to complete it.

"Khan rest assured, Rouran's annexation to Hexi will enjoy inexhaustible benefits, and trade alone is enough to make Rouran rich."

"For example, Tuyuhun, since he became friendly with Hexi, he has quickly prospered and become powerful."

After a while, when his mood gradually stabilized, Yu Jiulu Shelun suddenly thought of the other captured people.

"Dare to ask Dadu Hu, I don't know what Hexi plans to do with those Rouran captives?"

"Hehehe, don't worry!"

"Except for some who have to pay for their crimes, most people are released after a period of hard labor."

"Huh? Will Daduhu really release the captives? Yu Jiulu Shelun said with ecstasy.

The corners of Wei Shuo's mouth showed a subtle sneer: "Of course! Since he was not a murderer, and the Khan was attached to him, there was naturally no reason to detain those captives again. ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity!" After speaking, Yu Jiulu Shelun endured the joy in his heart.

The reason why Wei Shuo returned the captives to Yu Jiulu Shelun was because he didn't want to watch Rouran collapse and take advantage of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Moreover, the Rouran Khan was too happy too early, and Hexi had already begun to plan against the captives.

During the detention of the Rouran Khan, a large number of captives were screened, and some were beheaded in public because their hands were stained with blood.

Most of the captives were treated with special treatment in Hexi and forced to be brainwashed.

Before his release, Wei Shuo hoped to cultivate a group of friendly people in Hexi so that he could counterbalance the Rouran Khan.

"That'...... I don't know when we will be released to return to the grassland? ”

"Hahaha, don't be in a hurry, after the Spring Festival, Shuo will arrange for the Khan to go back."

Hearing that there was still more than a month to leave Hexi, Yu Jiulu Shelun was a little disappointed, but he finally had hope, and he didn't have to worry about it all day long like before.

……

Waiting for the Rouran Khan to leave, Guo Yi asked uncertainly: "My lord, why did you release those captives even if you let Rouran Khan go?" ”

"To be honest, Rouran is not worried, under the blows of the Northern Wei Dynasty over the years, she can only retreat to Mobei and survive!"

"If I want to exterminate the Rouran tribe, it's like digging into the bag to get something, but it's just a gesture."

"It is easy to destroy Rouran, but if it is sincerely attached, surrendered to Hexi, and returned to Wanghua, it is not easy."

"Shuo let Rouran Khan stay for more than a month, and he wanted to use this time to rebel and naturalize those Rouran captives."

"Whether I can control Rouran for my use in the future depends on the effect of today's countermeasures."

"I see, most of them are far-sighted, and they can't do it!"

"Let's go, you and I will go to the prisoner camp and have a look."

When Wei Shuo arrived at the prisoner camp with Guo Yi, Kang Long and other cadres, he saw one person giving an enthusiastic speech to the captive.

The Rouran captives suffered unaffected along the way, and soon after arriving in Guzang, they saw many of their compatriots beheaded in public in Hexi.

Therefore, their hearts were full of fear for the Hexi people, for fear that bad luck would befall them.

Clinker, not only did they not suffer torture, but they were treated much better than before.

In addition to participating in labor, every day is to participate in the so-called 'study'.

"Brothers Rouran, although you and I have fought each other, many people have even lost their lives because of this. But you should know very well in your hearts that if you don't invade our Hexi first, most of the capital guards will not send troops to drive you and others away. ”

"Of course, you also have to fight the army, Mobei is very cold, and your life is difficult, so you have to plunder from outside."

"Actually, you don't have to! If your Great Khan had sent someone to Hexi in advance to explain the reason to the Metropolitan Protector himself, and with the wisdom and generosity of the Metropolitan Protector, he would have tried to help you. ”

"If nothing else, just letting the two sides open the market and trade with each other is enough for you to live a prosperous life."

"You have cattle, sheep and livestock, and I have all kinds of living materials in Hexi, so we can use trade to resolve disputes with each other, and there is no need to fight you to the death for a little material."

"After all, everyone is a family person, and it's not good for either side to die, do you say yes?"

When the Rouran captives present heard this, they secretly pondered, it was really like that. Since Hexi is willing to help Rouran through trade, why does Rouran have to use knives and guns?

The point is that the knife and gun are useless, and there is nothing to be gained except the dead.

"You are all ordinary people, and your greatest wish is that the family has a worry-free life! However, due to the ambitions of the tribal nobles and khans, they had to abandon their families and children and run to Hexi to make trouble. ”

"If you are captured today, your parents, children, and wives will be very worried, and you may be persecuted by others."

"Is it worth it to think about it?"

"It's not worth it!" Suddenly, in the silent crowd of captives, there was a roar of rage.

"That's right! Worth! Those nobles and leaders put them in danger for their own selfishness, and their intentions were so vicious. ”

"I hope you won't get involved in such stupid things in the future, anyway, you can't beat Hexi, why did you come to die in vain? It is better to make friends with Hexi, so that you can also get benefits from the mutual market. ”

"In addition, I will tell you another good news, at present, Dadu Hu is negotiating peace with your Khan, as long as the two sides reach a settlement agreement, Dadu Hu will let you go home and reunite with your family."

"What? Let us go home? ”

Some of the Rouran captives had long been desperate, and they didn't think that they would have the opportunity to return to the prairie, and they suddenly became excited.

"Yes, I will let you go home! However, the premise is that your Khan is willing to get along with Hexi. ”

"Humph! We were all captured because of the Great Khan, why didn't he agree? If Lao Tzu can't return home, Lao Tzu will no longer listen to the orders of the Great Khan. ”

"That's it! It is! ”

At this time, Wei Shuo stepped forward and announced in public: "Originally, your Great Khan was unwilling to surrender to Hexi, but under the repeated persuasion and threats of the Bendu Protector, he finally changed his mind and swore allegiance to the Bendu Protector in the name of the Rouran Ancestor. ”

"In another month's time, you'll all be released."

The Rouran captives heard it clearly, cheering loudly one by one, weeping with joy, and hurriedly kneeling down and shouting,

"We all swear in the name of our ancestors, and we and our descendants will forever submit to the protection of the capital, if you violate this oath, the gods will punish you!"

Looking at the Rouran captive with excitement on his face, Wei Shuo was in a good mood.

He believes that in the next brainwashing action, even if he can't change the minds of all the Rouran people, he can cultivate a large number of friendly people in Hexi, and these people will be the backbone of Hexi's influence on Rouran in the future.

In this way, even if Yu Jiulu Shelun wants to betray Hexi after returning to the grassland, he has to consider the impact and consequences.
