Chapter 28: Letter from Home
Sha Bo Luo Khan himself said that he wanted to see Yang Guang, and the two thought that he had changed his mind, but he didn't expect to see Yang Guang for the first time, Sha Bo Luo Khan said: "My old troops are scattered, many of them should run back to my royal court tent, I am not bound to be in turmoil, since you want me to surrender, help me send a message to calm the chaos of the royal court tent." ”
Looking at Sha Bo Luo Khan, who was negotiating terms with him, Yang Shuang smiled disdainfully, and he now looked down on the enemy in front of him more and more: "Whether you surrender or not, it actually has little to do with us, I can lead the army straight to your royal tent at any time to exterminate the remnants of the party." ”
In the face of Yang Shuang's strength, Sha Boluo Khan, as the general of the defeated army, was full of dissatisfaction and anger.
Yang Guang pulled Yang Shuang aside and said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, although his conditions are unreasonable, what he means is that he has come to talk about the conditions of surrender, but he is just here to pull the conditions of surrender." ”
Yang Shuang also recalled it when he thought about it, his mind was not as sharp as Yang Guang in these matters, so he waited aside.
Yang Guang turned back to Sha Bolu Khan and said: "We don't plan to meddle in the internal affairs of the Turks, if there are other nobles in the old department of Ling, and the remnants of the Turkic forces will fall apart, it will be beneficial to us in the Great Sui." ”
When Sha Bolu Khan heard Yang Guang say this, his face turned angry: "Our Turkic warriors, once they recover, will definitely override your Central Plains again." ”
Yang Guang's hand slapped lightly on the seat, and he praised it with a slight mockery: "Sha Bo Luo Khan is really outstanding, and the generals of the defeated army are still in the battle with a loud voice and eloquent words. ”
In the face of Yang Guang's ridicule, Sha Boluo Khan was speechless, and his face turned a little red with anger.
"Khan, you seem to have made a mistake, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with us, we are treating you with courtesy now, not because we are afraid of the Turkic counterattack, let alone asking for you, it's just that Da Sui is giving you a chance, if you think that you have the capital to negotiate terms with us now, I advise you to put away such thoughts, otherwise you are just provoking me and King Wei, maybe one day we will change our minds."
This naked threat made Sha Bo slightly Khan, hated and feared, but now he was a prisoner, and he was unable to resist if he wanted to.
"I will return to the capital in a few days, if you can make a decision within this time, maybe you don't have to go back to Beijing with me, if you can't make a decision, I will take you back to the capital, the capital is far away, go in the way of a captive, I am afraid you will not be able to return to the grassland in this life."
"Wait, help me write a letter to my mother."
Yang Guang smiled: "Go and ask someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to write a letter to Sha Bolu Khan." ”
What people care about most is definitely their own lives.
At this time, the most trustworthy was his mother, so he wrote a letter to his mother, in which he wrote that he was now treated like a guest by King Jin and King Wei of the Sui Dynasty, and he could return to the grassland after a while, without accident, and now he had a good relationship with the Great Sui, and intended to form a friendly alliance, anyway, it seemed that he was not captured but came to be a guest.
Yang Guang thought about it, this seems to be a bit similar to Zhu Qizhen in the Ming Dynasty, and its beautiful name is Northern Hunting.
In the end, he said in the letter that he asked his mother to send someone to talk to the Great Sui about the alliance as soon as possible, and was willing to honor the Great Sui Emperor as a saint khan, and let his sister make peace with the King of Jin.
Originally, it looked good, but in the end, why did such a sentence come, Yang Guang immediately said: "What does Sha Bo Luo Khan mean by this?" This letter is inappropriate. ”
This time, it was Sha Bo Khan's turn to look at Yang Guang suspiciously, and the content of his family letter was completely to let his mother send a messenger to announce his submission to the Great Sui, just for the sake of his own face, it was a little less obvious, why was he not satisfied?
Do you really have to grovel down and kowtow to them step by step?
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, don't deceive people too much."
Obviously, the focus of the two is not on the same thing, what Yang Guang said is inappropriate is why he asked his sister to marry King Jin in the end?
In the eyes of Shabalio Khan, harmony was originally part of submission and one of the most commonly used diplomatic methods in this era, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with this.
Moreover, if you give a daughter-in-law for nothing, who else can refuse?
Yang Guang is very concerned about this matter, he said that the daughter of my Yang family is not harmonious, and now he has indeed done it, but why did this harmony fall on his head inexplicably?
"Sha Bo Luo Khan, remove the last one of the peace relatives, and there is no need to establish a connection between the Turks and the Great Sui with peace relatives."
Sha Bo looked at Yang Guang in surprise, thinking that there was really someone who could refuse a woman sent to the door?
No, it is absolutely impossible, even if he himself is not good-looking, but as a man who understands righteousness and has a vision of the overall situation, he should know what it means to be close, and it may be a hindrance to not accept harmony at this time, but it is more likely that his heart is not satisfied.
Sha Bo Luo Khan's eyes became a little indifferent and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I only have two younger sisters, and one is still young, if His Royal Highness dislikes only one, I will wait for the other sister to grow up and then send it to the Sui Dynasty." ”
How do you learn reading comprehension?
Yang Guang, who was a little embarrassed, said: "I don't mean that, I don't like the policy of harmony." ”
"If Your Highness is worried about my sister's appearance, Your Highness doesn't have to worry, she follows my mother, she is the first beauty of the grassland, and she has ridden horses since she was a child, her body is handsome, her skills are no worse than men, and she is especially good at riding and shooting, although she is only fourteen years old, there are long queues of people who want to marry her on the grassland."
"That's not what it means."
The words of the two were less than one point.
At this time, Yang Shuang stretched out his hand and patted Yang Guang's shoulder: "Sha Bo Luo Khan's sincerity is enough, so it's enough." ”
Yang Guang looked at Yang Shuang suspiciously, and reacted, Yang Guang thought that he was trying to continue bargaining just now, but in Yang Shuang's opinion, bowing down to the subordinates and adding tribute, plus women and relatives, this is already the limit of the Turks, so he opened his mouth and signaled Yang Guang not to continue bargaining.
And in Yang Shuang's view, harmony is indeed full of sincerity, and there have always been few Turkic women who have come to Dasui.
Yang Guang saw that Yang Shuang had misunderstood, so he pulled Yang Shuang outside alone, and whispered: "Uncle Wang, I don't mean anything else, I don't want to make peace with a Turkic woman." ”
"Why?"
"I said that the daughter of my Yang family is not in harmony."
"Yes, you're not a daughter."
"Tsk, I can't understand it like that, besides, the Turks are very fierce, and Turkic women must be like tigresses, I don't want to marry a tigress and go home."
Yang Shuang smiled: "Haha, you can rest assured, I have seen a lot of Turkic women, although Turkic women are fierce on the surface, but in fact, most of them run the family, because men have to fight outside, but the family has to rely on women, so everyone is proficient in cooking, taking care of children, making clothes, these things, besides, you are the king of the Great Sui and Jin, can you still let the women who come to the foreign tribe to ride on their heads?" ”
"This matter is so decided, and the news will be transmitted back to the royal brother and queen of Daxingcheng and will not object when they learn it."
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!"
Yang Shuang decided to come down and asked the cavalry to take the letter from Sha Bo Luo Khan to the Turks.
After returning to his residence, Yang Guang felt helpless, and Yuan Tiantian smiled: "Your Highness, why should you be worried, this may be a fateful thing, you should think it is for the sake of the Great Sui." ”
"Hey, all I can think of now is the image of a laughing Turkic woman on a tall horse and a machete. It's really better to let Sha Bo Luo Khan give me his youngest sister, I will take it back to the Jin Dynasty Mansion as a sister to raise, growing up in the Great Sui since childhood, it is better than the Turkic fierce girls. ”
"Your Highness, that three- or five-year-old little doll, you better let her go."
"I didn't really say what it was, I just thought it was much better than a Turkic female warrior on horseback."
Yuan Tiantian comforted and said: "There is nothing wrong with the Turkic female warriors who are good at riding and archery, at least they have the ability to ride and shoot, but they can teach the princes in the future in the mansion, and they should be one more martial arts master." ”
"Hey!"
……
It was rare to rain in the grassland, and the cavalry of the Great Sui rushed thousands of miles to the place where the royal tent of Sha Bo Luo Khan was located, if it were not for Sha Bao Luo Khan's own guidance, it would take a lot of effort to find it, and the Sui army did not have a Turkic map.
The Turks, who were already in a haze, saw the Sui Dynasty cavalry on alert at this time, ready to kill the enemy.
But an old woman stopped them: "The Sui Dynasty will not send twenty cavalry to charge the battle." ”
After the conversation, the old woman learned that Sui Jun had come to deliver a letter to her family, and she was the mother of Shabalu Khan.
She was worried about the hopelessness of rescuing Sha Bolu Khan, and she received a letter from home at this time, and gathered many generals to discuss the matter.
When the generals learned that Sha Bolu Khan wanted to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, they exploded at once, many people disagreed, but many people agreed, both sides had their own reasons, and the quarrel was fruitless until the sun went down.
The daughter princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the most fiercely opposed, but she is just a foreign woman and has very limited right to speak.
When it was dark, the old woman let the crowd disperse first, and summoned her daughter alone.
It was a smart and delicate girl, and the old woman combed her hair under the candlelight, and the girl was full of sorrow.
"Hasayaqi, what do you think of Da Sui?"
"Mother, are they telling the truth? I'm going to be sent to the Great Sui to marry their royal family? ”
The girl's complaining voice made the old mother feel distressed, but the old woman lamented: "If your brother can't come back, we can live a good life for a few days now, and when the internal quarrel starts, I can only submit to one of them, maybe it's not a bad thing for you to marry in the Central Plains." ”
"Mother, I don't want to go, the legend says that the people in the Central Plains are very bad."
Stroking her daughter's long hair, the old woman said, "People, you have to see with your own eyes to be credible, we women can't decide our own fate." ”
"Mother, I ......"
"Hasayaki, your husband is a great person, you have to be careful in everything in the future."
After that, he patted Hasayaqi's miraculous buttocks: "Give birth to a son earlier, as long as you give birth to a son in the Central Plains, even if you are a Turk, life will not be bad." ”
