Chapter 169: Peace Talks
Another pouring rain washed away the Sky Wolf City, which had been blackened by the smoke of war, and the palace of Khubil, the highest part of Geert Mountain, radiated a dazzling golden light in the sun. Today, five hundred years later, the long-lost full moon golden wolf flag once again flutters on the golden roof of the palace.
The high priest Mulun led Sumeduo and the khans of the tribes with brisk steps to visit the palace of Khubil. Everywhere he went, the High Priest Mulen would stop and give an introduction.
"Giggles, the High Priest said it so well, as if you had lived here."
"Haha, my great Khan of Sumedo, although I have not lived here, I have been here many times. Besides, the annals of our Rong Department are also very detailed, and the older I get, the more I dream of this place, so this place is not new to me. Because here and there is the shadow of Khubil everywhere. ”
"Great Khan, now that we have returned to the homeland of Dongrong, where is the capital of our Heavenly Wolf Khanate?"
"Right here, one day our kingdom will be in Wenduer Mountain, and then this will be our eastern capital. By the way, the High Priest, the Far East is our foundation, who should be sent to stay behind? ”
"Great Khan, my advice is Uqimai Khan, he is thoughtful, not impulsive, and it is most appropriate to stick to the Far East."
"Well, let Uqimai Khan stay in the Far East. Now that we have such a vast territory, the territories of the ministries should be redivided. And we must be ready to confront Dayan, and we must also be ready to negotiate with them, now is the time for us to recuperate, and when we are strong and strong, we will recapture our sacred mountains and sacred lakes and the Hetao Great Plains. ”
"My Great Khan, your wisdom can shine as the sun and the moon, and I will do as you command."
"High Priest, from now on, you are the Prime Minister of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, the Great Minister of Mulun."
"Hahaha, okay, as long as the Great Khan doesn't dislike my old bones, I'll be the big picture of this wolf."
"You're not old~~~."
The subordinates of the Rong tribe happily drove the ox carts and cattle and sheep to their newly divided land, and many people fell to the grass and wept silently. This legendary homeland is now in front of their eyes, at their feet, and the grassland is full of joyful songs. A team of golden wolf riders led a team of Great Yan envoys to Heavenly Wolf City, along the way, the herdsmen of the Shangrong Department were hostile to the Great Yan envoys, and the little children actually rode a pony and brandished a small scimitar to chase the envoys back and forth, left and right, and let out a howling sound.
Xu Yangzheng, the waiter of the Dayan Rite Department, looked at the performance of these children of the Rong Department, and his mood was very heavy. Originally, the purpose of this mission to the Far East was to negotiate with the Rong Ministry about the cession of the Far East. Xu Yangzheng was extremely reluctant to accept this mission, and he knew that once he accepted this mission, his name would be linked to the word shame. However, the Ministry of Rites was sick from top to bottom, and the sick and the leave were left with the honest self, so I had no choice but to take this unlucky errand. Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived in Ningyuan, he was told by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that not only the Far East was lost, but even the Heavenly Wolf Capital Protectorate was lost. This made Xu Yangzheng at a loss, and he hurriedly hurried back to Emperor Su Zheng, asking Emperor Su Zheng to instruct him on what to do.
Xu Yangzheng waited for almost two months, and seeing that autumn was coming, he looked forward to Emperor Suzheng's will. Xu Yangzheng opened the will and couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that he was destined to be the first person to sign the shameful contract in five hundred years. It's over, and now I can't even enter the ancestral grave.
Xu Yangzheng slowly led the delegation through the Hongjila Pass into the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, and the wolf-like gazes shot around him along the way made Xu Yangzheng unstoppably angry and afraid. He prepared for the worst, and committed suicide once he was detained, for which he also prepared a sharp dagger.
Xu Yangzheng's envoys stayed in a temporary mansion that served as a pavilion, and I don't know which big family it was, and there were still traces of blood in the room that had not been cleaned. Xu Yangzheng waited for the summons of the Great Khan of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. Finally, one day, a man in gold armor walked into the pavilion and told Xu Yangzheng that the Great Khan of the Heavenly Wolf was waiting for him in the palace of Khubil.
Xu Yangzheng pressed down his uneasy mood and followed this man named Jebeli, who claimed to be the Grand Governor of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, to the palace.
When Xu Yangzheng stepped up the steps and walked through the knife gate erected by the wolf-like golden wolf guard to the gate of the palace, the cold sweat had already wet his back. But Xu Yangzheng still maintained a calm posture, and when he stepped into the palace, he was stunned for a moment. I saw a beautiful girl dressed in white and snow sitting on the golden throne. That's right, it's a girl, although the hairstyle of the Rongbu girl is different from that of Dayan, but Xu Yangzheng still judged from the girl's skin and posture that this is still a girl who has not left the cabinet.
"Why didn't the envoys of Dayan salute when they saw our Great Khan, is Dayan, who is known as the State of Etiquette, in vain?"
With the question of a majestic old man, all the civil and military forces in the palace showed disdain for Xu Yangzheng. Xu Yangzheng coughed lightly and said loudly: "My Dayan has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, but our etiquette is aimed at our friends and people with good intentions, and what about the people who covet my Dayan and despise my Dayan Guowei without etiquette?" The Rong tribe has been a subordinate tribe of my Dayan since ancient times, and the Rong tribe has committed rebellion to seize the territory of the suzerain, is it what people who understand etiquette should do? ”
Well, a scimitar was on Xu Yangzheng's neck, Xu Yangzheng had already been released at this time, he thought that he would simply die here, so as not to leave an infamy in history. Xu Yangzheng just craned his neck and looked directly at the girl.
Hahahaha, the scimitar was withdrawn, and Jebeli patted Xu Yangzheng's shoulder with a smile and said, "Mr. is very bold, I didn't expect that there would be someone like you in Dayan Wenchen, it's really impressive." The elder who asked you just now is Mu Lun, the minister of the Celestial Wolf Khanate, and also our high priest. The Minister in Rong is the most respected person, and the gentleman should not offend the elders. ”
"Governor Dadu, my Dayan also has a tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, so I naturally know that I should respect the elderly. However, now that the talks between the two countries are in charge of each other, and state affairs are more important than human feelings, please forgive me for not being able to greet the elders as a courtesy for the younger generations. ”
Xu Yangzheng took a few steps forward and bowed to Su Meiduo.
"Xu Yangzheng, the waiter of the Dayan Rite Department, visited the Great Khan and met the Minister of State."
"Your envoy is exempt, I don't know what your envoy is doing here?"
"The Great Khan, please forgive the envoy for saying bluntly, the Great Khan raised troops to invade my borders for no reason, seized our territory and killed my Great Yan border soldiers and people, don't you want to give an explanation to my Imperial Majesty?"
"This is where my ancestors grew up, and even this royal palace was built by my ancestor Khubil Khan. What's wrong with us now just taking back our land and returning to our native land? Besides, Dayan also drove us out of this land with a knife back then, and now it is natural for us to use a knife to take it back. Could it be that only Dayan in this world can snatch land from others with a knife, but others cannot? Your envoy can't help but use strong words. ”
"Great Khan, since ancient times, there have been divisions between dignity and inferiority, orderliness, and strength and weakness. My Dayan country is strong, and my majesty is mighty, how can I allow you to act recklessly. If the Rong Department does not return to the Heavenly Wolf Capital Protectorate and return to the Far East station, then my Dayan will come to pick it up, and this envoy will leave. ”
Xu Yangzheng arched his hand and turned around and was about to leave, but he heard a burst of laughter like a silver bell behind him.
"Giggles, Dayan now only has half of the country left, where is the national strength strong? Prime Minister, it's really funny for this envoy to slap a swollen face and become fat. ”
Hahaha, the palace burst into laughter, and all kinds of laughter came and went.
"Hehe, Dayan has always been like this, and it is this envoy who is talking about it."
Mu Lun said as he walked behind Xu Yangzheng and patted him on the shoulder.
"You won't go, and you won't dare to go. Rest assured we won't keep you because it's already like this if you don't come, and if you don't talk to us, then we'll do it our way. I'm sure you'll come back to us when the time comes. In order to avoid trouble, you better calm down and talk to us. Someone, bring a chair for the envoy. ”
Xu Yangzheng was really bluffing just now, but he didn't expect people to eat him at all. He got off the donkey and sat down. As an envoy, thick skin is the basic skill, and Xu Yangzheng is a qualified envoy, so the skin is not generally thick, which is called Qi cultivation by the Great Yan Shi Doctor class. Mu Lun was right, he really didn't dare to let Xu Yangzheng go now, and he didn't dare to disobey Emperor Suzheng's will.
"This is the terms of peace talks drawn up by our Heavenly Wolf Khanate, please take a look at it."
Mu Lun handed over a copy of the conditions for peace talks to Xu Yangzheng, who took it over and took a closer look, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. In general, the Celestial Wolf Khanate did not ask for this and that with Dayan as if the lion opened his mouth, but said that as long as Dayan recognized the legitimate status of the Celestial Wolf Khanate and traded with the Celestial Wolf Khanate, then the Celestial Wolf Khanate would no longer touch an inch of Dayan's land, and would be willing to obey Dayan as the suzerain's country.
This condition was drawn up after careful consultation between Muren and Sumeduo, drawing on the experience of the Great Khan of Khubil when he accepted the canonization of Dayan. At this time, although Dayan is in turmoil and chaos, if Dayan ******** deal with the Rong Ministry, it is not something that the Rong Department can resist.
Xu Yangzheng stood up and said to Su Meiduo: "The Great Khan's condition is that the envoy will reply to my Imperial Majesty, and it is up to Your Majesty to decide whether to do it or not, and after His Majesty's will come, this envoy will come to discuss with the Great Khan." ”
"Okay, please."
After Xu Yangzheng left, Su Meiduo said to Mu Lun: "The rebellion in the northwest of Dayan has been put down, and the Flying Tiger Legion may return to the grassland, which is very unfavorable to us. Is there a way to drag Niu Tianci's legs, or simply let him stop commanding the army. ”
"This requires the Great Khan of Erdunk to find a way."
"Well, let's not care about so much for now, manage our own land well, let the people raise more cattle and sheep, and give birth to more little warriors. At that time, we will be able to talk to Dayan on an equal footing, and every word we say must be taken seriously by Dayan. Also, I have an idea, since the crown prince of Dayan is in Ningyuan, we might as well arrest him. ”
"No, that would cause the Great Yan to attack with heavy troops, and the Great Khan of Erdunke would not agree to do this."
"Okay, but if you don't fight a big battle, a little friction should be fine. In today's battle at Hongjila Pass, I don't think the combat strength of the Dragon Guard cavalry is very good. It's better to take this opportunity to beat them up and make them scared when they see our wolf riders. ”
"This is okay, but it is limited to the line of Hongjila Pass, there is Wang Meng in Liaodong, that is a killing god, and his combat power is not inferior to Niu Tianci, let's try not to mess with him."
"Niu Tianci, are you the nemesis of the Rong Division?"
After some consultations, Dayan officially recognized the legitimate status of the Celestial Wolf Khanate, and Emperor Suzheng issued a decree to canonize Sumeduo as the Great Governor of the Far East and the Celestial Wolf, General Weiyuan, and the Great Khan of the Celestial Wolf. And officially issued the golden seal and golden book, Xu Yangzheng and Su Meiduo signed the trade contract between the two countries together, and the Heavenly Wolf Khanate officially declared itself a vassal to Dayan. A paper contract ended the dispute between the two countries on the surface, but all countries in the world knew that Dayan had been slapped in the face this time. It's not enough to be slapped, but you have to cover your face and say that someone is right. (To be continued.) )
