Chapter 36: The Turkic Envoy
A few days later, Li Mingli, who was in charge of foreign affairs and ethnic affairs, and his subordinates went to the west gate of the capital to greet the Turkic envoys.
The greeting procession was a little panicked, and panic spread through the crowd, although the Turkic envoys did not have swords in their hands, but the Chu people had long been afraid that the shadow of the Turkic iron cavalry had successfully overwhelmed their reason. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Seeing the fear of the Chu people, the leading Turkic envoy laughed unscrupulously, saying something loudly in Turkic language, and the rest of the Turks also laughed, and looked at Lord Li and all the subordinate officials with contempt in their eyes. When there were still two hundred steps away from the great Honglu Li Ming and the others, the Turkic horse team suddenly increased its speed, and was so surprised that the welcoming team scattered in all directions, for fear that the heavens would be jealous of the talents, and the soldiers defending the city also hurriedly stood in front of the adults, clenched their weapons, and looked nervously at the Turkic team, for fear that they would come to charge as soon as they were excited. Turning to look at the Turkic horse team, the leading envoy saw that after the greeting team dispersed, the door of the west gate was wide open, and he turned his face and said a few words of bird language, the speed of the horse team was faster, and he rushed straight to the city gate, and did not dismount when he passed the greeting team, but the Turks looked at the Chu people with more meaning, contempt, and the Turks glanced at the greeting team and rode into the city, as if their father was called "Li Gang", "naughty", very uneducated! In this way, this group of Turkic scum from the big tent, the leader of the invaders, entered Luoyang City, the political center of Great Chu.

A few days later, in a courtyard of the Siyi Pavilion, seven or eight Turkic warriors guarded a courtyard, under the locust tree in this courtyard, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion held a bamboo slip and looked at it attentively, he was born quite heroic, with long narrow eyes, hooked nose, slightly thin corners of the mouth, slightly curved, like a hungry wolf in winter, there is a kind of daunting momentum.
The middle-aged man held his breath and lowered his eyebrows, completely immersed in the bamboo slips, and turned a deaf ear to the things around him, as if he had reached the realm of "ignoring things outside the window and only reading the books of sages and sages". The samurai who was in charge of guarding beside him was also a tiger's back, like a chime stone.
After a while, a warrior hurriedly entered the courtyard and whispered a few words in the ear of the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man only bowed slightly, still looking at the bamboo slip in his hand seriously, and the seriousness was even worse than when Liu Fan looked at the Spring Palace. After a long cup of tea, he put down the bamboo slip and exhaled a long breath, as if he had just taken drugs, he had an abnormal spirit and "biogasγ.......... Turning his back to the samurai, he ordered, "Please come here, Mr. Han." β
This sentence is Turkic, the warrior answered, went to the compartment and brought a Confucian over, the Confucian is long, wearing a scarf, a round-necked green shirt is slightly wide, between the steps, this Confucian has a bit of pampering and not shocked, seeing the middle-aged man, he hurriedly saluted: "The student has seen General Ashina." β
The person who read the book was the Turkic envoy Ashina Dulei, who had the demeanor of a polite corporal, and said with a smile: "Mr. Han doesn't have to be polite, come, sit down and talk." β
Mr. Han leaned over and sat down, and said with a smile: "Why, the general also likes to read poetry and writing?" β
Ashina Dulei said casually: "You Chu people love to write poems and songs, this article can cultivate people's minds, and when I have free time, I also like to look at it" The words turned, and there was a hint of arrogance on his face: "But what's the use of just making articles?" Can't shoot with a bow on horseback, and in the end it's not to sue for peace with our Turks? It is these poems and songs that have made you Chu people become soft bones, even if Xiang Yu is reincarnated, he can't stop the iron cavalry of our Turks. So just take a look at these articles, don't indulge in them, otherwise the harm will be endless! β
Mr. Han said with a smile: "Exactly, exactly, what the general said is thought-provoking and thought-provoking." β
Ashina Du Lei Zhengse said: "I called Mr. Han to come, there is something to discuss with Mr., Mr. Han is a Chu person, the Chu people's mind is the best, I want to ask Mr. for advice, these days I took my sons to Honglu Temple to discuss with the big Honglu Li Ming about signing and writing, but that Li Ming has been pushing back with me these days, one time to talk, and one time to say that the signing and book are not under the control of Honglu Temple, what is the reason? β
When Mr. Han saw this General Ashina Dulei asking him for advice, his face was a little proud, and he was very honored. After listening carefully to Ashina Dulei's words, he frowned and said, "General, could it be that Honglu Temple is afraid of being responsible, so it deliberately shirks?" That being the case, why not go to the palace and directly discuss the matter of peace with Emperor Chu in person? β
Ashina Dulei's eyes showed anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I haven't been there, when I arrived at the gate of the palace, the guards said that the Emperor Chu was not feeling well these days, and he was unable to meet the envoys of the foreign festival, so he should go to the Honglu Temple to negotiate, but I went to the Honglu Temple, and Li Ming of the Honglu Temple said that this matter has involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries of Great Chu and the Turks, and I should go to the court to meet the Emperor of Chu and discuss this matter in person." In the past few days, I have traveled to all the yamen in Luoyang City who are responsible for managing diplomatic relations, but no one has come out to negotiate. β
Mr. Han always had a smile on his face, as if Ashina Dulei had nothing to do with him with "you Chu people", he saw Ashina Dulei's face was angry, and hurriedly said: "General, it seems that the Chu people are trying to delay time and try to delay the pace of our Turkic army's attack. β
Ashina Du nodded and said: "I think the same way, even if they are so prevaricated, I don't know when they will negotiate with General Ben, and now the Great Khan is anxious to need this book to ease the ...... The hungry stomachs of the sons and daughters have to survive this long, cold and terrible winter. If we continue to delay like this, it will be a great disadvantage to our Turkic army. β
The anger on Ashina Dulei's face turned into a look of worry, and he said: "The attitude of this Chu person is unknown, I don't know what the reason is, but I can't find out in a hurry, Mr. Han, it's better to be like this, can we relax the conditions in the book for the time being?" β
Mr. Han shook his head and said: "No, no, if this is the case, it seems that our Turks are too weak, and the Chu people like to kick their noses in the face the most, and when we lower the conditions, the Chu people will be even more reluctant to sign the peace book, and will force the general to continue to make concessions on the tribute." This was not what the Great Khan wanted. β
Ashina Dulei nodded: "What Mr. Han said is that I also heard that the lord of the Chu people has just appointed a Guozi supervisor as a Qin messenger recently, and is ready to let this Qin mission have full authority to supervise the affairs of our negotiations, I don't know if the attitude of the Chu people in the past few days is not related to this Qin mission, oh, by the way, this person seems to be called Liu Fan, I don't know if Mr. Han has any impression?" β
"Liu Fan?" Mr. Han was stunned for a moment, and said: "General Ashina, the student also heard of this son when he was still in Chudi, this son was still a gentleman a few years ago, and he indulged in lust all day long, but somehow, this person has become studious, I heard that this person won the first place in the Jingcheng Township Examination when he first entered the Guozijian for a month, and the Emperor of Chu also appreciated him, oh, he is still a relative of the emperor, and he has an aunt as a concubine, and it is said that he is still the most favored concubine of the Emperor of Chu." If the rumors are correct, this Liu Fan will be a little difficult to deal with, maybe the closed-door soup that General Ashina has encountered in recent days was instigated by him. β
Ashina Dulei frowned, and said angrily: "What is the first place, but he is a Chu dog who can play tricks and slippery, hmph, after I sent someone to inquire, I wanted to negotiate with him, who knew that this person was so rude, saying that if our Turkic army does not retreat for a day, he will not negotiate with me for a day, and asked this general to return to the army to convey the order of 'retreat', and then talk about the book." This Chu dog is really hateful! β
Mr. Han said: "General Ashina must not underestimate this person, Emperor Chu made him a messenger, and there are some means to come to this person, General Ashina must be careful to beware of this son." He groaned slightly, and then said: "It's a stalemate right now, it depends on who can't help jumping out first, the Chu people are afraid of fighting like tigers, I'm afraid it won't be long before." It's not as good as this, General Ashina can put some news out first, just say that the general will be limited to three days, if the Chu people don't give the general an explanation, the general will immediately return to the Turks, and then meet them again with the Chu people, and use this to test their reaction, general, how about this method? β
Ashina Du nodded and said: "That's the only way, don't scare these Chu barbarians, they really can be snub as our Turks." β
After the discussion was decided, Ashina Dulei's mood became happy, and said: "Mr. Han is very talented, with Mr. Han's talent, I plan to recommend Mr. to the Great Khan after returning to China, the Great Khan is in charge of the northern grasslands and deserts, and he needs a talent like Mr. Han who has traveled through heaven and earth and is loyal to us Turks." β
Mr. Han was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you General Ashina for your cultivation." β
Ashina Dulei said: "Sir, let's go and rest first." β
After Mr. Han left, Ashina Dulei instructed the warriors on his side in Turkic dialect: "You immediately release the news, use harsh language, if Chu Gou doesn't give us an explanation for the Turks, hum...... Then I had to use the bow horse to speak. β
The samurai received the order and immediately went.
Ashina Dulei smiled, sat back under the locust tree for a long time, picked up the bamboo slip on the desk and looked at it, and couldn't help but read it aloud while reading: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the state of the river." My Fair Lady, Gentleman...... Okay, good poem, this poem should be brought back to the royal court, and shown to the Great Khan, who will be very happy. β
Although Ashina Dulei said it on the surface, there was a deep sorrow in the depths of his eyes, and he skimmed to the north from time to time..........................................
