Chapter 301: Tuyuhun

In the middle of February of the ninth year of Taichang (540), the climate had already warmed up.

When the two Wei and Southern Liang were busy for spring ploughing, as a former vassal of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the mission sent by Tuyuhun to Luoyang took advantage of the Rouran and waited for a long time on the border of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and finally got the entry permit.

Tugu (yù) Hun was a branch of Murong Xianbei's split, and its ancestor Murong Tuyuhun was the eldest brother of Murong 廆 (wěi), the founder of the former Yan, and led 1,700 households to move west in 283 AD due to the gap between his brothers.

After Murong Tuguhun's grandson Ye Yan took power, he took his grandfather's name as his clan name and settled around Qinghai Lake.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tuyuhun has always adhered to the principle of acting strongly, and has been subordinate to the Song, Qi, and Northern Wei dynasties.

It was not until the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty that an uprising broke out in Guanlong, which cut off contact with the central government.

Subsequently, although the uprising was put down, the Northern Wei Dynasty was mired in a power struggle and no longer had the intention of interfering with Tuyuhun.

Although Tuyuhun is only a vassal, its territory is vast, and its sphere of influence is from the west of Linqiangcheng (Huangyuan, Qinghai) in Xiping, east of Jimo (Jinxian County, Xinjiang), south of Qilian Mountain, north of Snow Mountain (Kunlun Mountain, Bayan Kala Mountain, Animaqing Mountain), 4,000 li from east to west, and 2,000 li from north to south.

Now the Northern Wei Dynasty is divided into the Eastern and Western Wei, and the Eastern Wei is strong, but because of the Western Wei block, it cannot affect Tuyuhun.

As the eastern neighbor of Tuyuhun, the Western Wei Dynasty was limited by its own strength, and could not interfere in the affairs of Tuyuhun.

In 535 A.D., Kwalu succeeded as the king of Tuyuhun, endured for five years, and saw that the Western Wei seemed to have a firm foothold, so he called himself Khan, officially got rid of the vassal relationship with Tuoba Xianbei, and built the capital of Fuqicheng.

The word Fu Qi is a transliteration of Xianbei, which means the city of kings, and there is a Caiji River in the north of the city, which is located on a prairie with an open area and abundant water and grass.

Although Kwarlu called himself Khan, he was not ignorant of the heavens and the earth, and he sent an embassy to trek thousands of miles, not only to make peace with his relatives, but also to see the attitude of the Eastern Wei Dynasty towards his own freedom from vassals.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, the delegation entered Jinyang, and Gao Huan warmly received them, and he gladly agreed to Tuyuhun's invitation.

It was finalized on the spot, and Yuan Shanjian married cousin Kualu as a concubine, and then selected a princess from the clan to send to Fuqi City.

The messenger received the promise and happily continued southward to complete the final process and pay homage to the Son of Heaven.

Even if the Gao clan controlled all aspects of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the nominal Son of Heaven was Yuan Shanjian after all, not Gao Huan, let alone Gao Cheng.

When Gao Cheng heard the news, he didn't have much thought.

Although no matter how hard it is, it can't be bitter to the son of heaven, and the drudgery of being close to each other still needs to be tired and good-natured, which makes the Great Wei Zhongliang and the little Gao Wang feel deeply guilty, and he can't replace him with his body.

But he also understands that marrying Princess Worm by himself is already very criticized, and marrying Qualu Congmei is really too much.

After all, there is really no reason for courtiers and relatives in the world, and marrying a worm princess is an exception, not a common rule.

Gao Huan also decided to let Quarlu Congmei enter the palace as a concubine out of this consideration.

After all, it's just a slave sister, and she can't make many waves.

The delegation came to Luoyang, marveled at the prosperity of the ancient capital the year before last, and was impressed by Gao Cheng's bearing after meeting him and talking with him.

Gao Cheng didn't do anything, he just talked about Murong Xianbei's glorious past, and praised Tuyuhun for moving west with 1,700 households and creating today's situation.

It is believed that whether it is the talent of Kharu or the exploits of his ancestors, it is understandable to call Khan.

Gao Cheng summed it up by saying:

"The base is thousands of miles, with hundreds of thousands of people, and those who are not called Khan are not available."

The envoy was coaxed by him to be full of joy, and thought that the Eastern Wei would be furious when he learned that Tuyuhun had gotten rid of the vassal relationship on his own.

How did he know that the father and son of the Gao family were so hearty, and they didn't think they were angry at all.

He also praised Gao Jiaxin Jianyi, and complimented Gao Cheng even more.

After all, his understanding of Gao's Xindu Jianyi comes from a fragment of "Gao's Entrepreneurship Record" that was widely circulated in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

As everyone knows, the Gao family father and son have other ideas.

Both of them are people who value real profit and ignore fame, and there is a Western Wei barrier between the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Tuyuhun, and it is difficult to plot before annexing Guanlong.

Rather than this, it is better to simply give up the title of suzerain, and wait for the future to mix up with China, and then seek annexation.

After all, in ancient times, no more than in modern times, the two countries were at war and had to take into account international public opinion.

It's just that Gao Huan and Gao Cheng have slightly different ideas, Gao Huan hopes to connect Tuyuhun and attack the Western Wei Dynasty from east to west, so that they can't take care of each other.

But Gao Cheng was not optimistic about this, the reason why Tuyuhun in history was willing to make trouble in the rear of the Western Wei Dynasty was, in the final analysis, because the strength of the Western Wei Dynasty gave it a sense of crisis, so it took a long-distance and close-range attack strategy.

Now the situation has changed very much compared with the original time and space, the national strength of the Western Wei is weak, and the Eastern Wei is too strong, and Kwa Lu's brain is bad before he will pull Yuwentai back, and replace the neighbor from the weak Western Wei to the powerful Eastern Wei.

Gao Cheng's purpose is just to give Cualu a way out, so that he mistakenly thinks that he has no intention of spitting Guhun in the future, even if he really wants to rescue Yuwentai in the future, Cuarlu has a fluke, even if he sends troops, he will not be able to raise the strength of the country.

The envoy of Tuyuhun then paid homage to the Son of Heaven, and this time there was no dispute compared to the previous one.

Soon the matter of harmony passed the public opinion smoothly, and Yuan Shanjian issued an edict to take the granddaughter of Jinan Wang Yuankuang as the princess of Guangle and marry Tuyuhun.

And he is also full of expectations for Tuyuhun Khan's cousin, but it's a pity that this in-law is thousands of miles away and can't help.

Not to mention whether Quaryu will be an enemy of the Gao clan because of a cousin, if Tuyuhun really has this strength, this family affair will not fall on his head.

It's a big deal that Gao Cheng married himself, at most he will be criticized again, and some of his domineering actions in the past have been abused by the Yuan family's diehards.

The Yuan family has been established for a hundred years, and it is still somewhat loyal, of course, it is not the loyalty of the Gao family father and son.

It's just that now that the Gao family has not usurped, he is afraid of being killed again, so he is unwilling to jump out as a target.

After all, the Hongnong Yang family, who assisted Emperor Xiaozhuang in killing Er Zhurong and was almost wiped out himself, is the best example.

Unlike Murong Yan, who was hired by Rouran, this time Gao Huan and Gao Cheng did not send generals to Tuyuhun to greet them.

When the envoy of Tuyuhun held a banquet in the Bohai Palace, Gao Cheng specially called Murong Shaozong to accompany him.

Murong Shaozong is from the lineage of Murong Tuguhun's younger brother Murong Diao, and he is also a little related to Kwalu.

During the banquet, the envoy learned that the ancestor of Murong Shaozong was Murong Ke, the king of Taiyuan in the former Yan, and immediately stood in awe.

Murong Ke has been in charge of the military since he was fifteen years old, and can be called the first hero of Qianyan's entry into the Central Plains.

Before his brother Murong Jun died, he entrusted him with the throne, and there was no way to know whether he secretly arranged a knife and axeman, but Murong Ke insisted on not accepting it.

After Murong Jun died of illness, Murong Ke followed the example of the regent of the Duke of Zhou, but he wholeheartedly assisted the young lord Murong Wei and never trespassed.

Not only military, Murong Ke also made many achievements in politics, and can be called the first perfect person in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

When he was dying, he recommended Murong Wei's other imperial uncle, Murong Ba, to replace him.

Murong Ba fell off a horse when he was a child and broke a front tooth, so he was renamed Murong Que by his brother Murong Jun, who was known for his resentment, to humiliate him, and later changed his name to Murong Trai because of his name.

Murong Shaozong talked to the envoy about Murong Ke, and then talked about Murong Chui.

Murong Chui is not as perfect as his brother Murong Ke, but his achievements are above Murong Ke.

Although Murong Ke recommended him on his deathbed, the power of Qianyan finally fell into the hands of Murong Ping.

It was the Murong Ping who was evaluated by Wang Meng as a 'true minion'.

Murong Chui was suspicious in the country, so he defected to Former Qin, and was deeply loved by Fu Jian, but was wary of Wang Meng, thinking that although he was talented, he was not tamable.

So with the golden knife plan, when Murong Chui was out of town, Wang Meng, who saw him off, asked for a gift of tokens to see things and think about people.

So Murong Trai gave him a golden sword, and Wang Meng turned his head and used it as a token, imitating Murong Trai's handwriting to write to his eldest son, instigating him to rebel.

Murong Ling, the son of Murong Chui, really fled back to Qianyan, laying the groundwork for his own defeat and death.

Fortunately, Fu Jian was aware of everything and had always obeyed Wang Mengyan, but this time he ignored his request to kill Murong Chui.

Former Qin, under the command of Wang Meng, captured Yecheng, and the Murong clan fell into exile.

After Wang Meng's death, Fu Jian successively destroyed Chouchi, Qianliang, and Tuoba Xianbei's established dynasty to unify the north.

But the kindness of his woman, or love is too great, so that he raises tigers.

In the Battle of Weishui, Fu Jian brought a group of Erwuzai to the battlefield in person, resulting in a great defeat, Murong Chui was able to restore the country, establish Houyan, and almost restore the territory of Qianyan.

But because there was no successor, after his death, Houyan was also destroyed by Tuoba Jue, who revived the country.

Murong Trai went to the battlefield at the age of 13, and he fought a hundred battles in his life, winning battles, attacking and conquering, and he did not lose.

Murong Shaozong and the Tuyuhun envoy talked about it very quickly, and Gao Cheng became a spectator, but the two talked about the specific battles commanded by Murong Ke and Murong Chui brothers, but he listened with relish.

The guests and hosts of this banquet enjoyed themselves, and when they said goodbye the next day, Gao Cheng held the hand of the messenger and expressed his desire to live in peace with Tuyuhun.

高成 says:

"Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei were once the heroes of the moment, Tuyuhun originated from Murong Xianbei, how can he be subservient to others, so the so-called vassals, there is no need to mention it, Dawei is willing to be a brother country with Tuyuhun.

"The world is very big, and it can accommodate the coexistence of brothers, and please ask the envoy to tell the Khan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is reckless, resulting in the emptiness of the sea, and the country is almost defeated.

"Those who wish to do so, but to calm the west, restore the unification of the Great Wei, and the country of brothers, there is no second heart, and I hope that the Khan will listen to it and believe it."

The envoy had no doubt about this, after all, under the spread of the Listening Department for many years, through the events of Xuzhou back then, the whole world thought that Gao Cheng was reluctant.

However, as the de facto controller of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Cheng made a promise only to collect more generous returns in the future.

The Tuyuhun people and the Eastern Wei Dynasty sent relatives and welcomed relatives to the north, and they will take advantage of the road to go to the shore of Qinghai Lake, and when they return, they don't know when.
