Chapter 324 Negotiation

Tuosu Lake is a lake composed of two bodies of water, one brackish and one brackish, with fertile fish and beautiful water, and is an excellent grazing place.

There were two tribes living here, both of which were not large, but after the arrival of Qibi Ge, the two tribes were driven north of Tuosu Lake, because this was about to become a place for negotiations between the Great Sui and the Tiele people.

Qi Bige was stunned and knew that he didn't have any chips in his hands, but he still pinned his hopes on the Great Sui to look down on these barren lands to the west of Tuguhun, because the Great Sui didn't graze, and they occupied the pasture, which could be said to be useless.

All the countries in the Western Regions, plus the Eastern and Western Turks, were actually very afraid of the Great Sui, although historically, the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan seemed to have suppressed the Tang Dynasty, but the actual situation was that after the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of China fell by two-thirds, and all industries were in ruins, and it was in a stage of urgent need to recuperate, and was bullied by the Turks for a period of time.

But Li Shimin is still very powerful, even in such an unfavorable situation, he still defeated Jieli.

Then if it is China in its heyday, there is no chance for foreigners, just like now.

Yang Jian was originally a very domineering monarch, if you dare to offend me, I will never spare you, and Yang Guang, who succeeded to the throne, is a rare good and great achievement in Chinese history, the emperor with a violent temper, and the Eastern and Western Turks dare not act rashly.

If Pei Ju was in Fu Qi City, then it would be completely okay for Pei Ju to come forward in this negotiation, but he was too far away.

From the perspective of Qi Bige's stunned, he didn't want to negotiate with Yang Ming, because his son was like a father, and the other party must be an extremely domineering figure.

And that's exactly what happened.

After Yang Ming arrived at Tuosu Lake, he ordered the army to camp west of the lake, and he sent Changsun Cheng, a lobbying envoy who was not inferior to Pei Ju, to summon Qi Bi Ge to meet him.

This is the posture, are you a hairy man? Are you qualified to negotiate with me?

The eldest grandson is proficient in Turkic and the languages of some small countries in the Western Regions, and has been doing diplomacy for half his life, and he is very talkative.

He took only fifty light horsemen with him, and went to the tent of Tiel Khan.

Yang Xuanting and Xiao Maha scattered their wings to respond to the army.

"I, the King of Qin of the Great Sui Dynasty, ordered Qibi Khan, to meet the king's tent, and brought the head of the thief Murong Yuyun with him," Don't look at Changsun Cheng's sleek when he was in Beijing, he saw everyone with a smiling face, but when he was engaged in diplomacy, he was a group of horizontal people.

Qi Bige smiled stunned, looked at Murong Yuyun with an angry face on the side, and said with a smile:

"Murong is now the leader of my account, how can I kill my own people."

The eldest grandson Cheng snorted coldly: "When Tiele was Emperor Gaozu, he surrendered to my Great Sui, then you are my Great Sui's courtier, and now the King of Qin of the Great Sui ordered you to kill the traitor, if the Khan does not obey, it is disobedience, then Tiele is no longer our courtier, but an enemy." ”

"General Changsun's words are serious," the Han military advisor who was sitting in Qi Bige's stunned hand interjected:

"Although my Great Khan is subordinate to the Great Sui, we only obey the orders of the Great Sui Emperor alone, and although the King of Qin is the prince, he does not have the authority to order our Khan."

Changsun Cheng looked at the man and sneered, "Then now we have to add one more condition." ”

After that, the eldest grandson Cheng looked at Qi Bige and was stunned, and said: "This person is a strategist under the old Qi Gao clan, first surrendered to my Great Sui, and then defected, such a two-faced villain, the Khan dares to use it?" Now the Great Khan is afraid that he will have to add another head, and I, the King of Qin, will see you. ”

The man immediately retorted: "I descended to Zhou, not Sui, General Changsun had better figure it out." ”

"But your master is the courtier of the Great Sui (Qiguo Gongyu Wen Orang)," the eldest grandson Cheng sneered: "Give the Great Khan a day to consider, whether to go to the audience, or to be my Great Sui's rebellious minister who does not honor his promises, the Khan chooses for himself." ”

After that, the eldest grandson Cheng came out of the camp, and he showed righteousness and calm from beginning to end.

Changsun Cheng, who left the Tiele army formation, did not go back, but found Yang Xuanting's department and asked Xuanting to lead people to bluff and put on an attacking posture.

Xuan Ting immediately commanded all the departments, all of them wore armor, waved the blades in their hands around the garrison of Tiele's army, and also made insulting words, extremely arrogant, completely a posture of not taking the other party in their eyes.

Of course, they couldn't understand what they were scolding, and the Tiele people were scolding them.

Qibikatu stayed in Daxing Jingshi for half a year, and he also went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and saw the might of the Sui army, and he knew very well that the Sui army could not be provoked.

"Father Khan, this King of Qin is not very old, but it is not easy to mess with, the crown prince of the Great Sui has died, this kid has the best chance to be the prince, and it is likely to be the future Emperor of the Great Sui."

As the heir, Chebikatu is definitely unwilling to provoke Yang Ming, who is also the heir, otherwise he will have a hard time in the future.

"Impossible," Cui Zhen, the Han military advisor, said: "The Han people respect etiquette and law, the young and the old are orderly, Yang Ming is only the third son, and he has an elder brother above him, and it is not his turn." ”

In fact, Cui Zhen also knew that his words were untenable, but he couldn't help but say so, otherwise he would be handed over.

Ready-made examples are right in front of you, isn't Yang Guang also the second son?

Qi Bige thought for a while, and felt that if he handed over Murong Yuyun and Cui Zhen, where would his prestige be? Being so oppressed by a hairy boy, is he really a vegetarian?

But the Sui army outside had already put on a posture, as if they were not convinced by this softness, and the two sides were really about to do it, so he said to his son:

"You go and see the eldest grandson Cheng and tell him that I will go fifteen miles to the east and the king of Qin will go ten miles to the west, and set up a big tent, and I will worship the Great Sui Emperor there to the east, and please also invite the king of Qin to meet me here."

Qibikatu was immediately overjoyed, this method is good, his father Khan, as the Great Khan of Tiele, can only worship the Emperor of the Great Sui, the King of Qin is just a prince, and he can't worship him with his father Khan, doing this, they are already giving in, and the King of Qin is not forced anymore, right?

After all, if the two families really want to turn their faces, it will not benefit anyone.

So he happily went to be this lobbyist, after all, he was already familiar with him in Beijing, and he had also dealt with Yang Ming.

After the eldest grandson Cheng saw the other party, he took the Qibikatu to the king's tent.

"Qi Bi is also a smart person," Gao Gong leaned into Yang Ming's ear and said, "Since he worships His Majesty, His Highness really can't help but go." ”

Yang Ming also couldn't cry or laugh, he really had to go now, otherwise he would offend his own father, he couldn't accept the worship, and he had to stare at the Chebikatu to worship.

As for that Cui Zhen, it was just a threatening gesture by Changsun Cheng, and he also knew that Qi Bige would not hand over this person.

As a result, the armies of both sides began to converge in the middle until they came into each other's field of vision.

Both sides are at the peak of the lineup, waving flags, and the soldiers and horses are endless, bordering the sky.

Yang Ming took two hundred guards and rode out of the battle, running to the big tent that had already been set up, while Qi Bige on the opposite side was stunned to show his sincerity, and only brought fifty people over, carrying a blood-dripping leather bag in his hand.

Murong Yuyun had already been killed by him, but the tribal leaders below Murong Yuyun didn't know yet.

When they got closer, the two stopped their horses, Qi Bige was stunned and looked at Yang Ming, and Yang Ming was looking at the leather bag in each other's hands.

There must be an interpreter next to him, otherwise the two will not be able to communicate, Cui Zhen on one side and Changsun Cheng on the other.

Yang Ming said directly to Cui Zhen: "Qinghe Cui family, now there are many children in the office, can we know that my Emperor of the Great Sui did not treat Hebei scholars lightly, why did Mr. stay away from his homeland and abandon his ancestral family?" ”

Cui Zhen didn't speak, he heard a lot about his hometown from the past Central Plains caravans, and he also knew that the rise of the family was Yang Ming's force behind the scenes.

At this time, Qi Bige was stunned but turned his head to look at him, because he thought that Yang Ming was saying this to him, and asked Cui Zhen to translate it for him.

Cui Zhen had no choice but to say in Turkic: "King Qin of the Great Sui is greeting the Great Khan." ”

Qi Bige nodded with a stunned smile, and also said to the eldest grandson: "Please say hello to King Qin on my behalf." ”

After Changsun Cheng relayed it, he said: "What the Khan is in his hands, but Murong Yuyun's head? ”

Qi Bige nodded stunned, handed it to Cui Zhen on the side, and presented it to Yang Ming by the other party.

Of course, Yang Ming would not take it, but the eldest grandson Cheng took it, but he said to Cui Zhen who was approaching:

"If you want to return to your homeland, this king will arrange it for you."

Cui Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "King Qin doesn't need to play tricks with me, what kind of person you are, I have inquired very clearly, don't use the discord plan, you can rest assured, I was forced to defect to Tiele, but after all, I am a Han person, and I will never do anything that is not beneficial to the Han people." ”

After this person surrendered to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he served as a staff member of Yuwen Orangutan of Qiguo, and later established the Great Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Orangutan was involved in the rebellion, and was killed by Yang Jian, and Cui Zhen escaped without a trace.

It wasn't until the Renshou period that the Great Sui side got the news that this person had defected to Tiele and was about to pass at that time, but Qi Bige was stunned and shirked the past with excuses.

"It's a pity," Yang Ming said with a smile: "Hebei Duoyishi, Mr. can not lose his style, which makes this king admire." ”

Then, Cui Zhen went back to Qi Bige to translate, saying that the King of Qin was praising the Great Khan just now, saying that the Great Khan was a man who kept his oath and was also loyal to the Great Sui.

These words, Changsun Cheng listened to every word in his ears.

Next, according to the etiquette, Qi Bige dismounted in a daze, headed to the southeast, and bowed three times and nine bows.

Subsequently, Yang Ming and Qi Bige were stunned and each brought a translator into the account.

The tent was open on all sides, and the sides were tied with curtains, so that people from outside could see what was going on inside.

"You take people back to Tiele, and Murong Yuyun stays," Yang Ming took the lead.

Qi Bige was stunned and did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "I am willing to manage these places for the Great Sui, and I also ask the King of Qin to agree." ”

Yang Ming shook his head: "This is the place of the Great Sui, you don't need anyone to help manage it, the land under your feet now is the Sui Realm, if you don't leave, you will invade my Great Sui land." ”

When Cui Zhen translated Yang Ming's words to the other party, Qi Bige was stunned and instantly looked gloomy:

"I was invited by the Great Sui Emperor to send troops here, and the west of Tuguhun was subdued by me, so the King of Qin did not have any reward, it seems too harsh."

Yang Ming said: "I think you are the Khan of Tiele, you are, if we think that Xue Yantuo should be the Khan of Tiele, how would you feel?" ”

Qi Bige's face changed drastically.
