Murong Xuan's idea was that even if the Tang people were defeated this time, lost the Yellow River Valley and the Tuyuhun region again, and were forced into the country, the Murong clan still had a way out: after showing loyalty to the Tang court, they could apply for internal relocation, and let the Tang Dynasty set aside a piece of land within the territory for them to graze and live, just like the Xianbei people in Lingzhou.

Sitting in the position of the king of Khan, Murong Xuan relied on the strength of the Fulu clan, although it was not exactly a marionette, but in fact, it was not the Murong clan that spoke the most, but the courtier Fulu. However, the Murong clan has an advantage, that is, it has a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, especially with the people of the current ruling Jin Wang faction, such as Zhang Wulang, who is often the guest of the royal tent when he is in Fu Qi City.

The king of Khan didn't want to be completely controlled by the great minister Fulu, so he couldn't break the line on the Tang Dynasty's side, otherwise it would be impossible to compete with Fulu...... This is the most important reason why he is extremely pro-Tang.

On the other hand, looking at the line on the Tibetan side, Fu Lu is obviously more familiar, and Murong Xuan is not comparable. If Tuyuhun defected to Tubo, he would have no hope, and he could only let Fu Lu sit down and not dare to resist in the slightest.

Of course, these are all things in Murong Xuan's heart, and he can't say it clearly, so he can only find other reasons to persuade the tribal leaders and slave owners to pin their hopes on the Tang Dynasty.

But everyone didn't buy his reason, and someone said: "Although Shibao City is now in the hands of the Tang army, the Tang people in that place can't control Tubo, and Tubo can still threaten us." If I had to bet on one side, I would rather bet on Tibet, after all, they came with an army of 500,000! ”

At this moment, a minister who supported the Khan broke the window paper: "Bet on the Tang Dynasty, and if you lose, you can move inward; What should I do if I lose my bet on Tibet? Let the Khan and the Great Minister go to Chang'an in a prisoner's car? ”

Internal relocation? Fu Lu finally understood the abacus of Murong Xuan's gang: if he moved into the Tang Realm, he would be directly ruled by Chang'an, and Murong Xuan had a good relationship with the Tang people, so what happened to me Fu Lu?

Fu Lu immediately stood up and said: "The Tubo soldiers are right under our noses, we can't beat them, and the Tang soldiers don't know where they are, what can we do?" Negotiate peace with the Tubo people first, even if the Tang soldiers come back in the future, they should understand our difficulties, because they are too slow. What's more, I think the Tubo people have a great chance of winning, and they are like many people who are determined to win their homeland! ”

Since Fu Lu expressed his attitude, most of the people present felt that there was no need to continue arguing, but there was still one person who was not very convinced: "It is not difficult for our 100,000 troops to stop him for a month, and when the Tang Dynasty reinforcements come, they may not be able to win a decisive battle with the dogs......"

"I think what the prime minister said makes a lot of sense." Murong Xuan interrupted that person's words in real time, showing his support for Fu Lu's attitude. This attitude made Fu Lu very satisfied, and felt that Murong Xuan was very worry-free as the king of Khan, and he was a person who knew how to advance and retreat and understand current affairs.

Murong Xuan sighed and said, "If the mantis arm blocks the car, even if you can maneuver for a month, your vitality will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to recover for ten years." ”

When the Khan and the prime minister were of the same opinion, the others stopped arguing, and peace soon returned to the king's tent. Fu Lu said: "Send someone to see the Emperor Dezuzan......

…… After everyone dispersed, Murong Xuan secretly recruited his henchmen to enter the account in the evening, took a token and instructed the man: "Immediately enter the Tang realm to see the king of Jin, and tell him that Fulu wants to surrender to the dog Rong." It must be kept secret, otherwise I will not take a break. ”

The messenger took out a wax pill and said, "If it is not good, I will bite it in my mouth, and I will die if it enters my throat!" Swear not to utter a word. ”

Murong Xuan was quite moved when he heard this, and a pair of eyes sparkled on his pale face: "I hope you will complete your mission!" ”

……

Although Murong Xuan and Fu Lu are in the same city, they are undoubtedly "in the same bed and have different dreams". When Murong Xuan sent an envoy to the Tang Realm, Fu Lu also sent an envoy to see De Zuzan.

When the men and horses of the Xianbei envoys were discovered by the Tubo cavalry, they saw that they were holding the festival, but they did not come to Hu Lai, and sent people to report to the Emperor Dezuzan while sending them over.

After hearing the news, Ji Dezu looked back and said: "The surrender of the Xianbei people is coming. ”

The generals laughed when they heard this, why did the envoys come to surrender at this time? He then sent a messenger to meet him, apparently willing to accept the surrender...... After all, the Xianbei people have 100,000 horsemen, although they can't beat Tubo, but if they really want to break the net, Tubo is enough to drink a pot, which is laborious and time-consuming, and is not conducive to the overall situation. The real opponent of Tibet was the Tang Dynasty.

Before the people arrived, the Tibetan nobles had already discussed in the tent to extort something from the Xianbei people. Moshi, one of the largest nobles in Tibet, said with a smile: "First ask for a batch of cattle and sheep, and then ask them if you can't hold on to Tang Bing for a long time." ”

"There is no doubt that cattle, sheep and horses are wanted, and what other good things do Xianbei people have, do you know?" The head of the Lang clan asked everyone with a smile.

The old leader of the Lang clan was slashed by Xue Chongxun with a knife, and now this heir is as old as Qide, and he is similar in age to speak speculatively, so the Lang clan is more favored than before, and he speaks much more casually in front of the Great Khan than others.

Sure enough, Qide's expression became very interested, and he turned his head and asked, "Just say it." ”

Lang said with a smile: "If Fu Lu wants to betray the old master and form an alliance with us, he must do two things: blood, marriage, ......"

As soon as he heard it, he understood: "By the way, the Murong family has two sisters, the eldest sister is married to Fu Lu, and there is a sister, so it's just right to ask for a concubine." ”

"Definitely." Lang laughed teasingly, "I haven't heard of that sister of the Murong clan, I am afraid that there is nothing outstanding about her fame, but it is Murong Yanyan, the eldest sister of the Murong clan, the wife of Fulu, who is famous, and many people from all tribes near and far have heard of it...... Why didn't the Great Khan let Furyu bring his wife with him when he agreed to make a bloody alliance? ”

Although he is cruel and lustful, he doesn't mess around with all the wrongs, and when he heard this, he looked straight and muttered: "I don't have an excuse to be on the stage, why do you form an alliance and let others bring women?" I'm afraid that the face of the old thing in Fulu will not be able to hang up if it is too explicit, and it will be too urgent to break the net with us, won't it affect the business? ”

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this, and they were very disdainful of the favored Lang clan, feeling that this guy had a bad idea, but fortunately, the Great Khan was wise enough to take care of the overall situation.

But Lang said confidently: "Isn't it easy to make excuses?" The Xianbei people are indeed Fu Lu's final say, but the people who sit on the top are still the Murong family. Since you want to shed blood, you have to call someone from the Murong family to come, right? Murong Xuan wants to sit in the royal city, and the rest are the two sisters, and the sister-in-law's unmarried daughter is called to come over and say that it is not acceptable; And Murong Yan happens to be Fu Lu's wife, why can't the husband and wife come together to form an alliance? ”

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said with great joy: "This method works!" As soon as the messenger came, we Xiushu named Fu Lu and his wife to come over to negotiate peace. ”

After waiting for a while, the messenger arrived in the land, and the Tibetans entered the king's tent. The messenger was a little nervous when he first came in, but then he laughed: "I know you are here to negotiate peace!" Tuyuhun is originally our ally, and a temporary separation does not mean eternal enmity, as long as you promise to make up for the relationship, I am glad to be reconciled and pass on the letter! ”

The envoy didn't expect it to be so smooth, and hurriedly took out the letter from his pocket and respectfully handed it over and said: "In the past, my Khan King was forced by the Tang people to be helpless, and the Tang people wanted to send troops to plunder all the cattle and sheep of our clan if they did not surrender. In the past two years, the Great Khan has not dared to forget the Great Khan's covenant, and only wait for the Great Khan to lead the eagles back to this place and make friends forever......"

Jide casually looked at the national letter and threw it aside and said, "We are conditional." ”

The messenger said: "My state is willing to pay money to the Great Khan according to the old customs, and to obey the drive to share the hatred of the Great Khan. ”

He and the nobles looked at each other, and after a moment said, "The number of cattle and sheep given every year will increase, and later I will repair a book with your Khan, and if you agree to the conditions, you will ask Prime Minister Fulu and his wife to come together to make an alliance with blood, and turn the war into a jade silk." ”

The envoy soon realized that Murong Yan was a little unreasonable among the people named by the Tubo people to meet, so he immediately asked, "Why do you want her to come too, so why do you want her to come too?" ”

As expected, the Tuyuhun envoy would have doubts, but De Zuzan had already prepared an excuse, and said easily: "Is your Khan king's surname Fulu or Murong?" Since you want to form a blood alliance before the gods, how can you do it without the people of the Murong family? ”

The envoy frowned and said, "I will return to the Khan King and the Great Minister, and it will be decided by the king's account." ”

Both sides have the desire for peace, and it is not difficult to talk about it, but it is just a question of how to "make peace." The Tubo people received the letter of state, and then revised the letter and replied, stating the conditions and other things, and asked the messengers to bring it back.

The excuse that Tubo pulled to ask the people of the Murong family to participate is obviously not very clever, and the discerning person understands the humiliation at once, and it is clear what the Tubo people want to do, but they just want to be euphemistic: the sister-in-law who occupies Murong Xuan is called "marriage"; Lust|insulting Murong Yan is called "forming an alliance with the royal family".

…… After the upper echelons of Fu Qi City received the reply from Tubo, the increase in the number of cattle and sheep was also acceptable, and there would be no fairness if there was a difference between strength and weakness, and the harsh conditions could be understood; But it was obviously a great shame to let Murong Yan, who had already married Prime Minister Fulu, go to the Tubo camp.

In the concept of nomads, it is not acceptable for a wife to be humiliated than the innocence of a daughter and sister, so it is okay for the Tubo people to marry Murong Dong, the sister of the King of Khan, as a concubine, but it is a bit too much to propose to let Murong Yan go into the wolf's den. (The last time I went to the Tang Dynasty to negotiate peace, Murong Yan brought it by Fu Lu himself, which is another matter; This time it was proposed by the Tibetans, and the intentions made people suspicious. ）

At this moment, Fu Lu made a surprising decision: he agreed to take Murong Yan with him to negotiate peace!

As the saying goes, there is a first time, there is a second time. After the Tubo people were defeated and ran away, Fulu was afraid that Tang Bing would take his wife to Shanzhou; This time, he was afraid that the Tubo soldiers could also take his wife to see Dezuzan...... G
