Chapter 418: War and Peace

When the news reached Yecheng, Cushman & Wakefield's first reaction was not anger, but incredulous.

Qi government and opposition are also a kind of offended mentality, since the Northern Wei Dynasty into the Central Plains, although the surrounding desert, the grassland of the various ethnic groups have risen and fallen repeatedly, but has never been able to match the Central Plains Dynasty, in the eyes of the Northern Dynasty, their opponent is always the Southern Dynasty, the rest is not enough at all, except for a Turk swept the desert north, the Western Regions, the power is huge, let alone and the Northern Qi equal dialogue qualifications.

But what is this Tuyuhun, a small country that dares to offend Tianwei?!

Needless to say, the anger of the government and the opposition is self-explanatory.

As early as before the court, many ministers and generals had written to the court to severely punish Tuguhun, pull out his country, and destroy his species!

And Gao Wei, as the king of a country, naturally would not make the decision to conquer a country like this, he found several important ministers to discuss, and most of them were the main fighters, including Tang Yong, who had just assumed the post of left minister:

"Tuyuhun relied on his position in the northwest corner, so he dared to despise Tianwei and disobey the king, and Kwaralu even raised troops to invade the country, openly disobeying the imperial court! If they are not punished, there will be countless vassal states (tribes) under my command, and won't they have to do the same in the future? In the long run, where is the majesty of the imperial court? Where is the majesty of Your Majesty? The minister thinks that he must set a rule to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys! ”

How to make rules? Naturally, the knife has the final say.

As soon as Tang Yong's remarks came out, he immediately received a response from a group of militants...... After the Northern Qi defeated the Northern Zhou, the world seemed to have returned to the situation of the tripartite stalemate between Wei, Shu and Wu in the past, and many people thought that although the Great Qi was strong, it would take a short time to destroy the remaining two countries in a short period of time and dominate the world. Next, I am afraid that there will be a long period of peace.

For a martial artist who is bent on seeking military merits, this is not good news.

Some top-notch people, such as Yang Suzhi and others, have already achieved fame, and there are a large number of people who have nowhere to show their talents before they have time to come forward! The Turks are huge, and they can't move for the time being, and the rest of the tribes such as the Khitan have already surrendered to obedience, and they are worried that there is no place to make military achievements, but coincidentally, Tuyuhun has come out, isn't this a clear war exploit!

However, the right minister Gao Gong frowned and glanced at Tang Yong with faint displeasure. What are the ideas of these rough warriors, how can he not know? At other times, Gao Gong would definitely not object, but now that the Northern Qi Dynasty has just gone through two major wars, and it will take time for the national strength and people's livelihood to recover, it is never a good idea to provoke and start a war at this time.

Therefore, even though he didn't want to offend Xungui in every possible way, he still had to bite the bullet and admonish:

"Your Majesty, although Kwaralu is hateful, no matter how Tuyuhun says it, it is also a country, and there is a difference between it and those savages who have no monarchy at all, and you can't expect to let them fall apart after two or three fights...... The king of Lanling is in Guanzhong, only more than 50,000 people are guarded, and he has to guard against the northward movement of the Zhou State, without this ability, the imperial court wants to deal with Tuyuhun, and must send troops from Jinyang and Henan, but in that case, the cost is too great, and the imperial court is afraid that it will not be able to afford it! ”

Some people were dissatisfied: "What is there to be afraid of these clansmen?" ”

Gao Gong's face turned pale, and he said: "Don't think I'm exaggerating, if Tuyuhun is really so easy to destroy, he would have let the Zhou State be destroyed a long time ago, how could Wei survive from the past to the present?" Liu Song, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Liang are all gone, and they are all still there!

"Although Kwalu is arrogant, he is not stupid, as far as I know, this khan has been following the establishment of the Central Plains Dynasty, and Tuyuhun is in his hands, it is the heyday!"

Everyone was silent, but what Gao Gong said was the truth, Tuyuhun was different from the tribes that other savages put together, and even different from the Turks, who suddenly rose upstart, and they had a historical background.

The ancestors of the Tuyuhun people were originally a branch of Murong Xianbei in Liaodong, and the eldest son of the Murong clan was fighting with his brother Murong Diao, not an opponent. It is often seen in the history books of various dynasties and generations, and has survived to the present.

Today, there is no dynasty that has survived longer than it, but, no matter how long the history is, it can't change the fact that Tuyuhun is curled up in a corner and the national strength is weak, basically and the Central Plains Dynasty or other powerful tribes in the north of the war, Tuyuhun is the one who suffers, in the period of the Turkic Wooden Pole Khan, the wooden pole plundered Tuyuhun several times, forcing Tuyuhun to flee to the southern plateau.

People say that "one Han is the five Hu" and "the Hu people have no luck for a hundred years", and the Hu people seem to have become an inherent impression that the Hu people are weak, ignorant and barbaric, and perverse, and this reason is innate.

They are located in a remote area, and it is difficult for the Central Plains civilization to radiate there. A person who grew up in an ignorant tribal system, if you tell him about Confucianism and loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, it is not realistic at all, even if they understand these truths, their scarce material life, and the backward organizational system will not support this ambition at all.

Let's talk about the Tuyuhun civilization, he has many bad tribal habits, there is no legal constraint, and he has established a city but still lives by water and grass. Let's say that the Tuyuhun people are barbaric, they also imitate the official system of the Central Plains, and there are kings, dukes, servants, Shangshu, Langzhong, and generals in the country...... It is a country that wants to enter the feudal era but has not succeeded, and it is full of all kinds of incongruities.

Barbaric customs kept them fierce and predatory in nature, and the state system kept them alive.

To deal with such a country, it is indeed necessary to take a long-term view...... In the course of history, the country was completely submerged in the long river of history after being repeatedly ravaged by several powerful regimes in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Tubo. Gao Wei didn't want his strength to be dragged on Tuyuhun, and he didn't want to go through the Western Regions now, which was not cost-effective at all, so he said:

"What Gao Qing's family said is reasonable, there is a priority and urgency, Tuguhun invades my territory, although it is hateful, but the matter of raising troops to crusade must be slowly planned."

Speaking of this, Gao Wei glanced at the ministers hatefully and said, "Even if I don't know soldiers, I know these truths. If we attack Mobei, we still have Jinyang and Huaishuo as the front station, but Tuguhun can only send troops from Chang'an, marching thousands of miles, wouldn't the soldiers be tired? The most important thing that the army pays is the effort wasted on the road, this kind of thing that the people only work for their own face, I will never do! ”

Gao Gong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Tang Yong sneered: "Is that it? ”

"Naturally, we can't just forget it," Gao Gong said proudly, "Qualu has raised troops to invade my border for no reason, and he must give an explanation to the imperial court." ”

The righteousness of the words was awe-inspiring, but Tang Yong and the ministers still couldn't help but hesitate, "Taozhou was originally the boundary of Tuyuhun, which was snatched from them by the Zhou State, and Tuyuhun originally had a ...... there."

"What's that?" A voice sounded suddenly, and one of the people in the back row narrowed his eyes and said with a calm smile: "Zhou Guo took it away from him, it was Zhou Guo's, Zhou Guo was defeated by us again, Taozhou is naturally ours, is there any doubt about this?" Territorial disputes, either fight or talk, Quarlu siege only ten days before leading troops to retreat, which shows that he did not dare to be the enemy of Daqi at all. ”

A word to wake up the dreamer.

This person lightly explained the essence of Qualu Seli's inwardness, avoided those trivial factors, and pointed to the core essence, with an extremely old and spicy vision.

Everyone looked sideways and realized that it was Pei Shiju, who was rumored to have been snubbed by the emperor. Pei Shiju slowly stepped out of the ranks, shook his head at the emperor, and said solemnly: "If the minister's expectations are good, the envoy of Quarlu to seek peace is already on the way to Yecheng!" ”

Among the Gobi and snow-capped mountains, tents are dotted among them.

Flames licked the blue-black sky.

The chiefs of the clan and Qiang, some with Han buns, some with Xianbei braids, and some with shaved heads, gathered here, and shamans and wizards gathered around the roaring fire, dressed in sheepskins, dragging sheep's tails, crowns of sheep's horns, and wearing human faces, dancing wildly to the beat of drums.

The Xianbei of Liaodong have migrated here for a long time, and they have long been assimilated by the surrounding ethnic groups, and there is no difference between the Tuyuhun tribes.

When Murong Qualu stood out from the tent in a fox skin, all the chiefs stood up and raised the cups in their hands to show their obedience and respect to the Khan of Tuyuhun. Murong Kualu looked at the boundless sky in the west and sighed deeply:

"Qi people killed my heirs and invaded my territory, this hatred and hatred are not shared! But Tuyuhun is too weak compared to Daqi, Daqi is the same as the Great Wei back then, they are the sun and the moon, and the other countries around them are fireflies compared to them, I don't want to let Tuyuhun's sons die in vain...... Rather than confronting the Qi people, it is better to lie dormant and wait for them to weaken. ”

"Shifu," Quarlu called the eldest son's name, "I remember that you have always loved to deal with the people of the Central Plains, I think you will know them better, I have something to give you here......"

The eldest prince Shifu's expression was awe-inspiring.

"You sent an envoy to Yecheng for me and told the emperor, Taozhou and Minzhou, I simply gave it to him, and I don't plan to care about the death of your brother Fu Yun, and the two countries will turn hostility into jade silk from now on, how about it?"
