Sharp-heartedness v. 57
Shunyin was used to the previous trips, and thought that there was something wrong with her this time, but it turned out that she was just an accompaniment, which was a little relieved.
Thinking of Feng Wuji's worried face when he left the Military Division's Mansion, he didn't know how he had been in Liangzhou in the past two days......
"How's it going?" Mu Changzhou suddenly asked.
Shun Yin was stunned for a moment, she didn't think about what he was asking at first, and when she saw his eyes sweeping towards her waist, she realized that she was asking if her waist still hurt, looked left and right, and deliberately said, "I don't know." ”
Mu Changzhou received a salute in return, and a smile appeared on his lips, so he had to stop talking.
The sound of horses' hooves was sent in the wind, and Shun Yin caught a glimpse of the traces of people and horses, came back to his senses, and turned his head to see that another group of people and horses were coming from the west.
The peace negotiation team stopped, Mu Changzhou smiled, hit the horse out, and watched the other party come to the front.
The person at the head is in his thirties, his hair and skin are shallow, Shun Yin recognized it at once, it was actually the Linghu Tuo who had not been seen for a long time, he led a few soldiers to come here first, and the rear was followed by a large group of people, it seems that there are no less than a thousand people.
Ling Hu Tuo had already stared at Mu Changzhou, with a mouth, and his tone was still unceremoniously: "I heard that you retreated from the enemy in a battle, and now your reputation is flourishing." ”
Mu Changzhou said: "What, you came from Ganzhou to congratulate?" ”
Linghu Tuo said coldly: "According to the order of the governor's office, the governor of Suzhou has been repatriated, and I will lead the troops and horses from Ganzhou to meet here." ”
Probably because they are not well known, no one in the peace talks team dares to speak up.
Shun Yin was secretly surprised, Liu Qiantai was repatriated was expected, but why let Ling Hu Tuo lead the troops to respond, turned his head and glanced at the place where he came from, coming from the west, expecting that Ganzhou had a very smooth path to the north, she looked back at Mu Changzhou, but he didn't seem surprised.
"The governor's mansion has a heart, there is no shortage of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and troops are also transferred from Ganzhou to help." Mu Changzhou smiled and smiled, "Then you can take it here." ”
After speaking, he pulled the reins, turned his head back to the team, pressed Shunyin behind her back with one hand, and led her forward.
Ling Hu Tuo led the men and horses to stop in place, watching the team go away, and there was still no good face.
After going out for a long time, he couldn't see Linghu Tuo's figure anymore, so Shun Yin whispered: "How could you arrange for him to come?" ”
Mu Changzhou was speechless: "It's okay to take over." ”
Shunyin listened to his tone and suddenly realized that this trip was not so simple.
There was a loud hawk chirping overhead, and she came back to her senses and looked out from afar.
It was autumn, and the grass in the wilderness was soaked in ink, and the wind was stronger, blowing the grass, and it was getting closer and closer to the place of peace talks.
A fast horse rushed from the front, and it was the soldiers sent by Liangzhou to explore the road first, and they went straight to the front of the team and saluted Mu Changzhou.
"Military Division, I just received news that the Western Turkic Khan and Kedun are heading southeast, temporarily stopping at the periphery of Hexi, where the head of the Mukun tribe and the military secretary will negotiate the first round."
The team came to a halt.
Mu Changzhou asked, "Are they ready?" ”
"Yes, the Ministry of Wood Kun has set up an account at the front of the peace talks."
Shun Yin frowned when she heard it, she had always felt that Chu Mu Kunbu was cunning, and now the temporary change will inevitably make people feel weird.
Mu Changzhou didn't say anything, sat on the horse without saying a word, as if thinking for a long time, looked at her, and said, "Keep walking." ”
Shun Yin met his eyes, only felt as if reminding, and couldn't help but hold the reins, his mind was relaxed before, and now he was hanging a lot tighter, but after thinking about it, he now has the military power in his hands, and he may not have no arrangements.
Within a few miles, I saw a yurt house, only one roof, and there were open spaces on the front and back.
This no-man's land was specially selected as the place for peace talks, in the middle of the two sides, and closer to Liangzhou.
Behind the yurt was a group of soldiers and horses, all in braided robes and armed with scimitars, but they were at least a few dozen paces away.
There were a few people standing in front of the yurt, waiting to greet them.
The peace talks team stopped, and a man with braided hair and an official appearance immediately walked out of the team, raised his hand to the team to see Han Li, and spoke fluent Chinese: "Please dismount the Liangzhou military division and dismiss the troops, and the soldiers and horses on both sides will each retreat one mile and enter the peace talks." ”
Mu Changzhou came out on horseback, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "Liangzhou is the winner in this battle, if it weren't for the Khan himself, you should have entered Liangzhou to kneel and ask for peace, you settled here first, and even asked me to dismiss the army and enter?" ”
The official's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Forgive me, the two sides should not have brought a blade in the peace talks!" ”
Shun Yin watched quietly, only to feel that they had to make inches.
Mu Changzhou was not in a hurry: "Where is the leader of the Mukun Tribe?" ”
"The chief is waiting in the tent."
He sneered: "Let him come and talk to me himself." ”
The officials were startled and hurried back, and after a short time, someone from the yurt came out.
Shunyin immediately looked over.
A burly man came out, with deep eyes and an eagle nose, his hair combed back, his hair hanging down in long braids, wearing a lapel beard suit, leather boots, a pierced right ear, and a gold round earring, dressed in a striking Western Turkic aristocratic outfit. He raised his left hand and pressed it to his chest to salute, and his Chinese words were clear: "He Shesi, the leader of the Mukun Tribe, is the military secretary not worried about being here?" ”
Shunyin looked at him, identifying him.
The Western Turks are divided into ten tribes, five in the east and west, and the leader of each is called "Si", and the name of the leader of the Mukun tribe is the first time she has learned.
But this face ...... She looked closely, but it was familiar.
Mu Changzhou said: "If you want me to rest assured, you must always show sincerity." ”
He Shesi asked, "What kind of sincerity does the military secretary want?" ”
Mu Changzhou said condescendingly on the horse: "I can let the soldiers and horses retreat, or I can dismiss the troops into the account, but if I am involved in danger here today, the responsibility will be attributed to the Mukun Department, and then I will use that idle field as compensation to return it to Liangzhou completely." ”
He Shesher was shocked.
Don't talk about him, as soon as this remark came out, even many people in the peace negotiation team showed surprise, and the horses under the cavalry in the rear seemed to feel it, and raised their hooves and ploughed the ground uneasily.
Shun Yin also looked at Mu Changzhou in shock.
"Idle field" is not an ordinary idle field, but a piece of land in the northeast of Liangzhou, which originally belonged to Liangzhou, which was invaded and occupied by the Tubo many years ago, and fell into the hands of the Western Turks.
Later, due to the inability of the two sides to fight for this land, it was finally disposed of as idle land, and neither side was allowed to send troops and horses, nor did it belong, nor did the Han people be allowed to cultivate and build cities.
But in fact, the people of the Western Turks quietly grazing there have become a heart disease in Hexi, and everyone wants to take it back, after all, this is the past that has made Hexi lose face.
But now, Mu Changzhou is taking this as a requirement as a condition for dismissing the troops and entering the account.
Shun Yin even felt that he had already had such a plan when he learned the news of the temporary change before.
He She sipped his face and remained silent, and the people around him did not make a sound, as if they were shocked by these words.
Mu Changzhou said coldly: "If you don't accept it, you will go and invite your Khan, and according to Liangzhou's requirements, set up another account for peace talks." "If you say that, you're going to pull the reins and leave.
He Shesi raised his hand to stop: "Wait! After being startled, he calmed down again, "Yes!" Just according to the words of the military department! ”
Mu Changzhou paused: "Can the leader call the shots?" ”
"I now represent my lord Khan, and naturally I can call the shots."
Mu Changzhou nodded: "Okay, then set up the paperwork and then enter the account." ”
He Shesi's face changed again and again, he was blue, and raised his hand to call: "Take the pen and paper, and make a paper!" ”
Mu Changzhou finally got off his horse.
Shun Yin dismounted, and watched as several Mukun soldiers brought a thin and narrow long case and spread thick parchment on it.
She turned her mind lightly, and she could agree to such conditions, either she was really sincere enough, or she just felt that it didn't matter if she stood up.
The pen and ink were ready, and He She wanted to take the pen, but Mu Changzhou took the lead.
He raised his hand and took the pen, stood in front of the desk, quickly put down the pen, sprinkled, waved it, and said when he put down the pen: "Based on what I wrote, I signed and printed." ”
He She's face seemed to be blue again, but he still took up the pen and signed the Turkic script, and took out the gold seal from his sleeve and stamped it.
Mu Changzhou turned around and waved at the team.
The team immediately went to two Liangzhou officials, began to transcribe, and then asked He She to sip the seal, looking faintly excited.
It's all done, it's getting twilight, and the wind is even wilder.
Before it can be credited, it needs to be checked by both parties.
He Shesi ordered, lifted the curtain of the door of the yurt, invited the Liangzhou officials to come in to check, and let everyone out.
All the women who came out were women, only five or six handmaidens.
After the officials of Liangzhou inspected the yurt, they came back to report to Mu Changzhou that nothing had happened before retreating to the rear.
Mu Changzhou accepted the original document into his arms, handed the reins of the horse to the soldiers behind him, untied the knife and handed it over, and ordered: "Unload the knife and bow, and leave the horse." With that, he stood in front of the tent empty-handed, to show that he had unarmed his weapon.
The soldier led the horse backwards, as if he had received an order.
He She surped: "I know that the military secretary and his wife have come to see my country, so I brought a maid to serve here, and I will be the only one to talk to you and your wife later, so that I can rest assured." But in this way, only I and the military department still have the strength to fight, I am willing to ask the Liangzhou soldiers and horses to have a physical examination, and please let the military department also allow me to wait for the physical examination before entering. You can also check the handmaidens present, but please also allow the handmaidens to check the lady. ”
Mu Changzhou glanced at Shunyin, she took off her hat and handed it to her attendants, taking the opportunity to bow her head slightly, he turned his head and said, "Yes." ”
The two Liangzhou cavalrymen stepped forward, pressed He She in turn, and retreated, indeed without a blade.
Mu Changzhou stretched out his arms, and the two Chu Mu Kun cavalry also stepped forward, pressed around him, and retreated without any blades.
The Liangzhou cavalry walked up to the handmaidens again, and the five or six Turkic women did not flinch without shame, opened their arms, and let them investigate.
The two cavalrymen did not make any unnecessary moves, only checked on them according to the usual practice, and then returned, clenching their fists at Mu Changzhou, and it seemed that they were safe.
The handmaidens walked towards Shunyin, and they were very sensible, so they first stopped a row next to them, blocking the eyes of others, and then approached one person to check.
Shun Yin raised her hand, and the other party pressed her in turn, the technique was as familiar as those soldiers, her eyes moved slightly, and she didn't show it.
The other party's hand even stroked the placket of her chest before withdrawing it, and all five or six handmaidens retreated.
He She relieved his heart, smiled on his face, raised his hand in invitation, and took the lead to walk inside.
Mu Changzhou held Shunyin's wrist with one hand and followed inward.
There were not many soldiers and horses on both sides, and at this time, according to the agreement, each retreated one mile.
Several officials in the Liangzhou peace talks team also retreated.
With just this effort, it was dark.
The tent was empty and unadorned, and there was a thick blanket on the floor, on which there were two small tables, one on the left and one on the right, which seemed to be completely risk-free.
But Shun Yin noticed that Mu Changzhou was holding her wrist very tightly from the moment she entered, and she was attentive.
He Shesi sat down on the right side, and asked Mu Changzhou to sit on the left as a sign of respect.
Mu Changzhou pulled Shunyin to the left side, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat down.
Shunyin sat down, and he finally let go of his hand at this moment.
He slurped his hands, and immediately two handmaidens came in, and lit the lights in the tent, followed by two more handmaidens, who brought in a golden cup full of wine.
