Chapter 057 - What do you mean, you want me to be an envoy again?
said that Liang Yuzhou had just arranged all the troubles around him, and Xu Zhen finally had news, but it was not good news.
Originally, the two brothers of Tuoba Chengfeng agreed that the Northern Barbarians would send troops to attack Zhao Jiuyuan's rear, and they could also recover the homeland that Zhao Jiuyuan forcibly occupied, but the two brothers Tuoba Chengfeng and Tuoba Fufeng didn't know which tendon was wrong, and they actually changed their hexagrams, Tuobati didn't want Xu Zhen to die in the Beiban, so he informed him in advance, and Xu Zhen picked up a life!
After getting out of danger, Xu Zhen hurriedly wrote down the story of the incident and sent it to Liang Yuzhou in an expedited manner of 800 miles.
Seven days later, Liang Yuzhou followed Xu Zhen's advice and gave him a horse team to make another mission to the Northern Barbarians.
When he was about to arrive at the Northern Barbarian Golden Horde's Court, Xu Zhen ordered the envoy to camp on the south bank and wait for the convoy to go north and south.
Xu Zhen's subordinates were all indignant, and shouted one after another: "Since you have already torn your face, why do you want to give the Northern Barbarian face again?" ”
Xu Zhen was calm, and patiently explained to his subordinates: "Since the founding of the Northern Barbarians, there has been the least contact between the Great Liang and the Northern Barbarians. One is that because of the long distance, separated by the territories of several of Zhao Jiuyuan's sons, Liang and Beiban almost never had a direct conflict of interest.
The second is because the two countries look down on each other. The Great Liang has a long history of establishing the country, and it is said that the Northern Barbarians are the place where the barbarians who have not opened the king's land live; Beiban advocates force and says that the beam is a spineless soft bone! However, the northern barbarians have the greatest prejudice against my beam, even more than Zhao Jiuyuan, and they regard my beam as a beast of prey. ”
Only then did his subordinates suddenly wake up: "In this way, our Liang can't ignore the Beiban if he wants to." ”
Xu Zhen sighed: "With the current combat power of Daliang, for a weak country like Beiban, if you go north, you can defeat it in one battle and break it apart. However, with the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, and Zhao Jiuyuan and Zhao Yao's father and son eyeing each other, it is impossible for Daliang to set up an expedition to deal with this crazy barbarian country. Now the only way is to cage it, reassure it, and keep it from going mad at the girders! ”
The subordinates were still a little angry, and they complained: "They broke the covenant first, but we still have to curry favor with them, it's really bearable, which is unbearable!" ”
Xu Zhen just shook his head and sighed: "The king of Zhennan is the most troubled by this northern barbarian, he compares the northern barbarian with the sheep, saying that the northern barbarian is like a thin lamb leg bone, eating without meat, and it is a pity to abandon it." ”
"Then why are we on this trip?"
"Marriage!"
The faces of the people present were dark, others did wrong first, and now they don't crusade and blame, but they still have to marry Beiban, which is really unacceptable.
Xu Zhen was dull for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Marriage, the oldest and most reliable method!" ”
"Mr. Xu mean?"
"That's right!" Xu Zhen patted the case: "It is recorded in the annals of history that the marriage of Qin and Jin has ensured an alliance for thirty years, if my Liang can marry the Beiban with a woman, even if he only has to promise the Beiban for ten years, and does not give Zhao Jiuyuan a good horse, it will be worth it!." ”
Xu Zhen didn't expect that Liang Yuzhou would be so decisive, and he decided on the candidate almost instantly.
"Which princess?"
"Princess Leyang."
"Haven't we heard of it? There are only those princesses with titles in Daliang, and there doesn't seem to be anyone called Princess Leyang! ”
"It is a major event related to the marriage of the two countries, and it is natural to have a person with a head and a face! The princess's previous title was too small to reflect the national prestige of my beam! Xu Zhen said and blushed a little inexplicably.
This scene happened to be seen by his subordinates, and they all quipped, "Could this Princess Leyang be Mr. Xu's crush?" If that's the case, you say, the brothers directly cut off the heads of the two Tuoba brothers and robbed the woman with our eldest brother, isn't this looking for death? ”
"Nope! No" Of course, Xu Zhen can't say that this princess is not a real princess, she is a tribute from the Western Regions, and she blushes purely because she has not officially lied.
At this time, his subordinates had questions: "Since we are sure to marry, why don't we go directly to the Northern Barbarian Golden Tent and say that we will listen to Tuoba and ride the wind?" ”
Xu Zhen said with a smile: "This kind of door-to-door thing has to wait for a good stubble to do." ”
"Stubble? What bird? If you want me to say, you scholars are really hard! Marriage is marriage, why do you think about so many things? ”
"You guys, let you read more and you don't care, let me ask you, if there is no stubble, we will rashly break into the golden tent and ask Tuoba to marry my Liang, isn't it just boring for ourselves?"
Only then did his subordinates know what Xu Zhen meant by the stubble, and they all agreed deeply,
Xu Qian's eyes suddenly lit up: "This stubble is that my Liang is going to have the upper hand in the struggle with Zhao Jiuyuan." ”
Although Liang Yuzhou is still very young, he has already shown his scheming side, he understands that the key to marriage is to ask Beiban to come to court, otherwise, Da Liang will shoehorn a princess into others, wouldn't it be ridiculous to the world?
After some thought, Liang Yuzhou urgently repaired the old chief of the Beixi barbarian tribe and asked him to mediate in secret.
Liang Yuzhou's father, Liang Du, was very kind to Beixi, which was extremely powerful and had a relationship with Zhao Jiuyuan.
Zhao Jiuyuan is also the biggest threat to Daliang and Beiban, and he is also the long-cherished enemy of the two countries.
The old chief of the Nord Stream Barbarians received Liang Yuzhou's secret letter, and immediately rushed to the Golden Horde with a hundred leading troops.
As soon as Tuoba Chengfeng saw the old chief, he couldn't stop laughing happily.
The Beixi Barbarian Tribe, although powerful, has always been friendly to people and has never participated in Zhao Jiuyuan's attack.
On this visit, Tuoba Chengfeng thought that the old chief had brought him some good news.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the old chief directly ordered the conditions: within ten years, the Beiban could not use troops against the Great Liang, and could not form an alliance with Zhao Jiuyuan, and the normal trade between the Beixi Barbarians and the Northern Liang in the future had also been repaired and formed an alliance with the Liang. If the Chengfeng brothers can become a family with Da Liang, they are my friends of Beixi Man and Da Liang. Otherwise, it's the opponent of the Beixi Barbarians, and the old man is going to lead elite soldiers and live in your Golden Horde, ahahahaha! ”
Tuoba was startled by the wind, and then his wavering heart became firm.
Tuoba rode the wind and consulted with the old chief for a day and a night, and finally agreed that after ten days, the Northern Barbarians sent an envoy to Daliang to present a letter of "asking for reconciliation and never being an enemy".
In this way, Liang Yuzhou has no worries at all.
Xu Zhen waited for two days, and Beiliang's family convoy arrived.
Escorted by 3,000 iron cavalry led by Mo Li, and rendezvous with Xu Zhen's 2,000 iron cavalry honor guard, it is exactly the etiquette of the royal family to send off relatives.
Xu Zhen looked at Mo Li, the more he looked at it, the more he felt incredible, Xu Zhen knew a little about physiognomy, Mo Li was like a sick tiger, and his inverted triangular eyes made people tremble, although he was accompanied by the book, Xu Zhen only felt that he was very murderous!
