Tuyuhun, originally a human name, is the eldest son of the "Shan Yu" Murong Shegui of the Xianbei Murong clan in Liaodong - Murong Tuyuhun.

At that time, the Xianbei tribe was the honorific title of the leader, that is, the meaning of the tribal leader.

After the death of Murong Shegui, the leader of the Xianbei tribe, because of the relationship between passing on the heirs and not passing on the concubines, the position of Shan Yu, who was finally inherited by Murong Shegui, was inherited by his son-in-law Murong Diao.

Roommate fighting is not the patent of the Han people, and the Xianbei tribe, a minority tribe, is the same, and it is not exempt from vulgarity.

Since Murong Diao inherited Shan Yu's position, he has always been jealous of his half-brother Murong Tuguhun, and he is worried about whether his brother will endanger the status of his tribe Shan Yu when he eats and sleeps.

Therefore, the incident of the Xiao Wall also happened between the brothers.

Murong Tuguhun was driven out of the tribe because he was weak enough to fight his younger brother Murong Diao, and finally migrated to Shanglong in the west with 700 tribes, using this as a stronghold, and the descendants inherited from generation to generation, invaded and annexed the local indigenous Qiang people, and finally became a strong tribe.

Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, rats give birth to cubs and burrows, Murong Tuyuhun's descendants are stronger than one generation, and his son Tuyan continues to swallow up the surrounding Qiang population and territory, slowly plotting to expand the population and territory to the end.

In the generation of Murong Tuguhun's grandson Murong Yeyan, he established the Mukechuan headquarters in Shazhou (now in the area of Muketan, Guinan County, Qinghai Province), proclaimed himself Khan, and learned the official system of the Han people, and set up Sima Changshi and other officials. And set his grandfather Tuyuhun as his clan name and country name, and since then, Tuyuhun has changed from a personal name to a clan name and a country name.

Nowadays, the royal family and the elite class in Tuyuhun regard themselves as the Tuyuhun tribe, and almost forget that they were once Xianbei people.

Of course, the ordinary common herdsmen in Tuyuhun cannot call themselves Tuyuhun people, on the contrary, they can only call themselves Qiang people.

Because the three characters Tuyuhun only belong to the ruling class such as the royal family and the elite group.

After centuries of operation and development for generations of khans, the Tuyuhun Kingdom has become a small country that cannot be ignored by its neighbors.

Today, the territory of Tuyuhun probably covers the Qilian Mountains and the upper valley of the Yellow River. This region is of great strategic significance to the Tang Dynasty, to Tibet, and even to the Western Turkic State.

Therefore, it has invisibly turned Tuyuhun into a fragrant dumpling.

However, after the Sui Dynasty conquered Tuyuhun twice, the Tuyuhun Kingdom completely surrendered, and was willing to be a subject of the Great Sui, and the wings were sheltered.

After the Great Sui changed hands to Li Tang, Tuyuhun also switched to the name of the Tang Dynasty, and the old Khan of Fu Yun surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and never had any objections.

Now after the secret coup d'état of Yu Wenqian and others in the dark night of Dongchang, the new khan Murong Yan is a marionette in Dongchang to put it bluntly, at the mercy of Yuwenqian and others.

Especially after the eldest prince Murong Shun was stabbed to death in the palace of King Wei in Chang'an, Yu Wenqian and others were even more at ease, and they controlled Murong Yan and arranged the Tuyuhun court handily, and operated the entire Tuyuhun country as firmly as an iron bucket

After about five days, Guo Ye, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, led a group of people and baggage to enter the territory of Tuyuhun Kingdom.

They passed through the Qilian Mountains, and everywhere they saw was the endless prancing horses that could not reach the end of thousands of miles.

On the prairie, you can see the Qiang herdsmen of Tuyuhun and countless cattle, horses and sheep everywhere.

Because of the topography, there are only a handful of cities in Tuyuhun China, and most of the Qiang people in Tuyuhun live by grazing.

Those who can live in the city, except for the Tuyuhun nobles, are ordinary commoners with slightly better families.

Of course, it is precisely because they think that the nomads have no fixed residence, so the Tuyuhun court is also a permanent state and will not levy taxes on these herdsmen, which is relatively relaxed.

This herdsman drove his sheep on the grassland to change his place of residence twice in three days, and even if he wanted to collect taxes, he had nowhere to find them.

If the imperial court needed money, the Tuyuhun court would only collect taxes from the wealthy merchants and citizens living in the city to replenish the treasury.

The boundless prairie, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields, it is really the sky and the wilderness, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Under the guidance of the grassland herdsmen, Guo Ye and his entourage took a shortcut and walked for two days and two nights, and at noon on the third day, they officially walked out of the prairie.

Through the oral description of the herdsmen who led the way, out of the prairie, it was not far from Bailan City, the capital of Tuyuhun country, and there should be about thirty miles of land.

Seeing that it was still early, Guo Ye ordered to rest in place, and asked Liu Zhenxuan to send a few fast horses to explore the road and see the road conditions ahead.

Hundreds of sergeants rested on the spot, each taking out dry food and water, and resting his feet while eating.

And Guo Ye and Liu Zhenxuan were already hungry, so they found a clean place to sit on the ground and make up for their stomachs.

The two shared a few pieces of Hu Biscuits, Liu Zhenxuan untied the water bladder around his waist and handed it to Guo Ye, Guo Ye made do with two sips, wiped his lips and handed the water bladder back, and quipped: "Zhenxuan, how is it?" This Tuguhun exotic style, compared to the thousands of miles of treacherous mountains and rivers from Chang'an to Longxi, is it quite comfortable? ”

Liu Zhenxuan also poured a few mouthfuls of water himself, chewed the cake in his mouth and shook his head for a while: "The road is quite smooth, and the terrain is flat." Hehe, it's just that along the way, there are grasslands and wilderness everywhere, and there is not even an inn where you can rest and eat. If you want me to say, this Tuyuhun is really poor enough. ”

Guo Ye smiled and said, "In the vast prairie, do you still want to find an inn to stay with?" It's beautiful to think about it, so that we can meet the herdsmen and ask, it's good to take a little less wrongful road. Hehe, when we enter Bailan City, I will let you take the brothers to eat and drink spicy food, and I can't let you run with me for nothing. ”

Liu Zhenxuan shook his head again and again like a rattle, and said: "Master Hou is serious, you have been sent to Tuyuhun as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and we will accompany the guards and follow all the way, and it is our duty to do so." But ......."

Liu Zhenxuan became familiar with Guo Ye, his courage was released a lot, and his speech was less restrained, he smiled, shook his head and sighed: "This Tuyuhun is a foreign country in the end, and it is so poor, this Bailan City should also be deserted and desolate." Sensei said that he wanted to find a green house to drink a glass of flower wine, but it was difficult to find a decent wine shop. ”

"Haha, Zhenxuan's words are wrong!"

Guo Ye categorically denied Liu Zhenxuan's speculation, and said with a smile: "You don't know, although this Tuyuhun is a foreign race in Fanbang, it has always been subservient to the former Sui and the Tang Dynasty. They have always imitated our Han culture in China, and many things have been learned from our Han court. For example, their official system, their national capital Bailan City, and the architectural design of several other cities are almost the same as those in our Central Plains. Although the customs and customs are different, they are all trying their best to learn our living habits, including clothing, food, housing and transportation, and they are all proud to learn from the Han people. As far as I know, in Tuyuhun China, people with a bit of family background are all wearing the costumes of our Central Plains people in the Tang Dynasty. Have you ever noticed the herdsman who led us the way? ”

When Liu Zhenxuan heard Guo Ye say this, he felt embarrassed, it seemed that the adults had done a lot of homework before they came, but they seemed to be lonely and unheard.

Then he shook his head and said, "My subordinates were on the road just now, and they didn't pay attention to the herdsman. ”

Guo Ye said: "Although the herdsman is wearing a shoddy sheepskin jacket, isn't the style of the sheepskin jacket the round-necked narrow-sleeved robes that our Central Plains men often wear?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Zhenxuan recalled it roughly, had some impressions, and sighed again and again: "I said that I saw this person dressed just now, how awkward it looked." When you say this, I am relieved! ”

"Haha, yes, it's awkward," Guo Ye also nodded and sighed, "I learned nondescriptly, and I have a bit of a strange atmosphere when I wear it!" ”

Dada~

The sound of horses' hooves approached their ears, and the two of them looked up when they heard the sound, and it turned out to be a few fast horses that had gone to explore the road and turned back.

The first cavalryman skillfully turned over and dismounted, trotted to Guo Ye, knelt on the ground on one leg, and reported: "Report to Lord Hou, someone in front of me came from Bailan City, saying that he came specially to welcome Master Hou into the city." ”

Guo Ye said secretly, could it be that the Tuyuhun Imperial Court in Bailan City received the news of the visit of his envoy from the Tang Dynasty?

The speed of the message is quite fast.

Immediately, he slowly got up and patted the dust on his body, straightened his clothes, and looked ahead.

I saw a carriage with two ends coming this way, and the dust behind it was like a tornado, and it seemed that it was followed by a large number of foot soldiers.

The carriage was five steps away from Guo Ye and came to an abrupt stop.

Guo Ye was about to step forward to ask who was coming, when suddenly a slender jade hand stretched out from the car and lifted the curtain of the car, but a voice came out before he saw him:

"Lord Guo, oh no, the Marquis of Yizhou, the concubine is late to greet you, but don't blame it!"

The voice was soft and glutinous, and the enthusiasm was like fire, listening to Guo Ye's bones numb.

The voice fell, and a dazzling face poked out from behind the curtain of the car, it was Princess Qi Yu Wenqian.

Guo Ye saw Yu Wenqian, listened to her soul-dissipating voice, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart:

"Hasn't Yu Wenqian always been cold? Why did you suddenly become so tender and passionate? ”

"Yizhou Hou, why don't you get in the car yet? Could it be that as soon as you became a marquis, you disliked the simple carriage and horses of the concubine, and lowered your status? ”

Yu Wenqian's mouth made another extremely charming voice, urging Guo Ye.

Guo Ye heard that he was secretly vigilant in his heart, this girl has changed her temperament? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and you have to guard the embankment when you turn back.

Then he smiled, strode to the carriage, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qian is too serious, riding in the same car with a beauty, Guo is asking for it, hahaha......"

After that, he waved his hand at Liu Zhenxuan to signal departure, and then got into Yu Wenqian's carriage, and suddenly, a faint fragrance in the car penetrated into his nose and lungs.
