Chapter 131 IV. Alliances of Interests
Hearing what Teemon said, Hesa couldn't help but laugh and said, "Since you have arranged it, then just bring him in directly." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Teemon also smiled: "That can't be done, otherwise where is the majesty of the Great Khan?" ”
After saying that, Timeng slapped his hands twice in a row, and then someone led a strong man in.
Hesa raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was tall and majestic, with light brown eyes and a high nose, and at a glance he knew that he was not from the Tuqi people, but from the Western Regions, so he asked Timeng, "Who is this?" ”
Teemon hurriedly replied, "This person's name is Jingil, and he is currently the captain of the guard of Liu Yan, the emperor of the Silk Kingdom, and he is also the legitimate heir of the Ramandel tribe. ”
Hearing this, Hesa was shocked, and immediately understood why Themon had brought this man to meet him. Teemon has always advocated that Tuqi should learn from the advanced civilization of the Silk Country, and gradually change the original bad habits of the Tuqi, but because Abicil and the Silk Country have always been in a hostile state, coupled with the resistance of the internal nobles and cannot be used, now the Tuqi is in turmoil, if you can get the help of the Silk Country, you will definitely be able to prosper and get twice the result with half the effort. It's just that due to the hostility between Tuqi and the Silk Country in the past, how to open the door to peace between the two countries has become a difficult problem. Now the appearance of Ginger solved this problem very well, the Ramandel tribe was originally a vassal of the Tukhy, but in the restoration of Anbalturi Khan came to the opposite side of Abichili, after the defeat of Anbalturi, the Ramandel tribe was also driven out of the territory where they had lived for generations and went to the west. Since Ginger is the rightful heir of the Ramandel Ministry, and at the same time is an official in the Silk Country, it is natural that he can use the revival of the Ramandel Ministry as a condition to drive Ginger as an envoy to mediate relations between the two countries. Thinking of this, Hesa hurriedly stood up and walked in front of Jinjir, and saluted with the etiquette of the Silk Country: "Xiao Wang doesn't know that he is an envoy of the kingdom, and the rude place is still looking at Haihan." ”
Ginger's face was full of displeasure and he replied, "The Great Khan doesn't have to be like this. I wasn't invited by you, but I was brought by Lord Themon and kidnapped. I'm not an envoy sent by the Silk Country, but I'm just a prisoner of your ranks. ”
Hesa laughed when he heard this: "My lord said that he was laughing. I think that I have been at war with your country for many years in the previous Great Khan, if we hadn't used this method, how would you be willing to come to Dragon City to talk to Xiao Wang? Come on, give Lord Ginger a drink to suppress the shock! ”
With Hesa's command, his subordinates quickly brought milk wine and barbecue, and placed them in front of Jinjir. When Ginger saw this, he did not shirk it, and sat on the ground by himself, gulping down wine and eating large pieces of meat.
Hesa and Themon watched him feast in silence and did not say a word.
It wasn't until he was full of wine and food that he spoke: "You two brought your subordinates here, what are you going to do, you might as well say it directly." But I can put the ugly words in front, I have a grudge against you and the Great Khan for killing your father and destroying your clan, and I will never be able to do what I can't do, and I may not be willing to do what I can't do. ”
Hesa and Timeng looked at each other and smiled, and then Teemon opened his mouth first: "Our request is very simple, that is, we hope that Lord Jinjier will return to Chang'an and bring a message to your emperor Liu Yan." Let's just say that our Great Khan Hesa intends to reconcile with your country and restore peace, but not only that, but we also hope to exchange trade and strengthen exchanges with your country, so as to become a friendly and fraternal state. ”
Ginger raised his eyes and looked at Timon and then at Hesa, and said, "Did I hear me right?" You have fought so many years of war with the Silk Country, and you have died so many people, and suddenly you want to restore peace with us? And just talking about it, do you think anyone will believe your words? ”
Hesa looked at Themon, then shrugged, "I know it feels strange to say that, but we do mean it. I don't dare to say anything else, my subordinates will never allow their subordinates to go south to plunder the treasures of the Silk Country and plunder the people of the Silk Country, I can swear to the Immortal Heaven on this! ”
"Your subordinates? As far as I know, the subordinates you are talking about do not include those who are only superficially subservient to you? So your subordinates are only 10,000 people, how much significance does this have to the country of silk? ”
"At least the Silk Country has one more friend and one less enemy," said Themon Tihesa, "and if your country makes a peace agreement with my country, then after we have pacified the Turkish tribes, your country will have a peaceful north, a loyal ally." If, on the other hand, your country refuses our kind request, it is indeed possible that your country will be at peace in the next few years, because the Turkic tribes are too busy with conquest to go south, but as long as we do not unify the Turks and the other tribes do the work, then it is almost certain that your northern frontier will once again be plunged into boundless war, and I don't think there is any need to explain which is more important than the other, right? ”
Ginger pouted, "In the final analysis, you just drew an illusory and beautiful picture of the Silk Country. Even if an alliance is reached, there is still no guarantee that you will not turn to the Silk Country after you have obtained the Raid Contract. ”
At this time, Hesa said: "Regarding this, I think we must first have confidence in the other party before we can take the first step. As I just said, what I hope is that the Turks can learn all aspects of knowledge from your country, change the backward situation of the Turks, once the exchanges between the two sides are deepened, and the Turks can also develop and grow into a civilized country, then the raiding habits of the Turks will be changed, and the people of the Turks will not need to loot and still live a rich life, so why should we go south to compete with your country for supplies? ”
Hearing this, Ginger touched his beard under his chin and said, "It still sounds incredible, but maybe it's because your reason is so stupid, and it's even so stupid that if it's not true, no one will say it." Well, I'll believe you're telling the truth. Then the next question is, if you have such thoughts, why should you find someone with whom you have a bitter hatred to be the messenger? ”
Hesa looked at Temun, who nodded knowingly, then turned his face to Ginger and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple, because you were also a subject of my Tuk, and we believe that you will not be completely unemotional to Thu. Our previous generation may be enemies, but there is no hatred in the world that cannot be resolved. The Great Khan and I hope to recall your people and give them pasture and cattle and sheep so that they can live as before. And you, as the leader of the Ramandel tribe, can choose to live with your people, or you can choose to stay in the land of Silk. Anyway, our two countries will become friendly and fraternal states, so why stick to these small things? ”
Ginger listened to these words and stared at the two of them for a long time, before finally he spoke, "You two may have said something worth trying to work on. ”
