Chapter 214: The Lobbyist
Yu Hong's royal tent is nothing special compared with ordinary herdsmen's felt bags, and if no one leads it, it is difficult to find Yu Hong's royal tent from the appearance. This is also Yu Hong's very cautious way of self-preservation, if it is too obvious, the enemy will stare at the king's tent at first sight, and it is easy to be beheaded.
In the king's tent, only Xue Wanche and Yu Hong were sitting, and Xue Wanche was gobbling up food at this time.
And Yu Hong was thinking about the conditions for Xue Wanche to move south. It's just that he knows that the road to the south will be difficult, and if he is not careful, it is very likely that the whole clan will die halfway, but Yu Hong also knows, just like Xue Wanche said: Since it was wiped out by the Turks more than sixty years ago, the Rouran Khanate has become a thing of the past, and the only one is not to mention the big battle, and even survival is a problem under the suppression of the Turks. If you don't leave, Rouran won't even be able to survive this winter, and those who survive can only wait for their demise.
There are only two choices in front of Yu Hong, one is to wait for death, and the other is to make a vigorous gamble, and if he wins, Rouran will not say that he can be brilliant again, but it is not a problem to pass it on.
Now that Jieli Khan has been defeated on the front line and has been plagued in the rear, if he strengthens his troops, he will only be betrayed by all his troops, and now is definitely a good opportunity for Rouran to go south. Missed it, never a second time.
After thinking about it, Yu Hong felt that Xue Wanche's suggestion had a fatal attraction to Rouran, because they had no choice. But Yu Hong is also worried, because Xue Wanche's words are not representative of the Great Sui, let alone Yang Tong.
If they move to the north, there is still a glimmer of life, if they run to the south, but eat a closed door, then it is a desperate situation with no way forward and pursuers!
Xue Wanche also knew that his weight was insufficient, but he sat in his seat, not in a hurry at all, although his situation was also not good, but he could afford to wait for this time!
His party committed a lot of blood debts on the grassland, and the Turks themselves hated it, if the Turks killed it, it was definitely not their own group that was unlucky, but Rouran, who accepted their entry.
As long as Jieli Khan sets the name of collaborating with the enemy, Rouran will be wiped out.
"I have three questions, first, how can General Xue guarantee that you can lead everyone back to the Central Plains?"
After a long time, Yu Hong looked up at Xue Wanche, and in the silent tent, Yu Hong could feel that his heartbeat had become abnormal. It's no wonder he is uneasy, no matter how few Turks there are, there are tens of thousands of people left in various tribes, and Xue Wanche only brought less than 2,000 people, even if you add Rouran's 6,000 warriors, it adds up to only 8,000 people, if you win, it's okay, but if you lose, Xue Wanche can pat your ass and leave, but the unlucky one is Rouran.
Yu Hong also knew that if he didn't go with Xue Wanche, the Turks would destroy Rouran sooner or later, and if he followed, maybe the clansmen would be able to reproduce in peace, but Yu Hong was not a gambler, because one of his decisions was related to the life and death of the entire tribe.
"I can't prove anything that hasn't happened. I can lead more than a thousand brothers to break through the siege, which proves that I, Xue Wanche, can do it. Xue Wanche shook his head and looked at Yu Hong seriously: "Rouran stayed here, but as a result, no one was left behind by the Turks; If Rouran migrates to the unknown north, the future is unpredictable! And going south is the safest, because the enemy is only one Ba Yegu who was crippled by His Royal Highness King Qin, as long as this Tiele tribe is destroyed, it will be a vast world! There will definitely be casualties in the war, but it will definitely not lead to the extinction of the Rouran race! ”
A decently long migration will kill people, not to mention enemies? So Xue Wanche didn't have any big words or lies that no one was damaged, which would seem hypocritical.
Another dead silence!
"War does not kill people! I know that! Yu Hong listened to Xue Wanche's words, but became a lot more steady, "The second question, can General Xue guarantee that the King of Great Sui and Qin will accept us?" ”
"This is not a problem, for friendly tribes, my Great Sui has treated them well, there are the Xi tribe in the distance, and there are the Turkic Southern Khan and the Corn Rice Jar in the near distance, these three major forces are either attached to the Great Sui, or have accepted the canonization of the Great Sui!"
"Third question." After the words were spoken, Yu Hong no longer procrastinated: "I also have the heart of Sui, but my grandfather An Luochen voted for the Northern Qi Dynasty and was placed in Mayi, the Han officials at that time were very greedy, and they only knew how to ask for it excessively, which made our people miserable, so my grandfather led the clansmen to flee here, but was first suppressed by the Northern Qi, and then surrounded by the Turks, which was almost destroyed." I would like to ask General Xue, if I am willing to join Rouran, how should the King of Qin of the Great Sui Dynasty settle our 40,000 Rouran clansmen. ”
Yu Hong admires Sinology, but as a grassland person, he can't change his straightforward nature, if he were a Han official, he wouldn't be so straightforward.
Xue Wanche smiled when he heard this: "The chief is quick to talk, and I won't go around in circles with the chief." Let's just talk about our management of the Clan. ”
"But I don't know how the King of Great Sui and Qin managed the Xia Clan?" After Yu Hong finished speaking, he looked at Xue Wanche very seriously.
His Royal Highness believes that if the Han people manage the Xia people, there will inevitably be many contradictions, so that the interests of the people of the Xia people can not be guaranteed, this is actually not to blame the system, in the early years of my Great Sui Imperial Court also really accepted the Yan people, Tuyuhun, Qiang people, but when the decree reached the place, it was misinterpreted by officials, thus changing the taste, coupled with the difference in living habits, customs, religious beliefs and other issues, which will lead to more and more contradictions day by day, If we encounter unjudicial officials again, the general contradiction will erupt out of control. Therefore, this is actually a problem caused by officials, and it stands to reason that it is not to blame the imperial court! Because since the imperial court has accepted the other party, it must hope that the other party is good. ”
Under the rule of the Great Sui, as long as there is an official status, whether it is a Xia people, a Turkic or a Khitan, they are all equal to the status of the Han people, and the two ethnic groups can freely intermarry, children can go to school, and young people can also join the army, and the military salary and various treatments are the same as those of the Han people. In addition, the Ministry of Industry sent craftsmen to instruct the people of the Xia tribe in the operation of agricultural tools and cultivation methods. He also sent a special person to evaluate the belongings of the people of the Xia tribe, so as not to let the simple people of the Xia tribe be deceived by the Black Mountain traders during the trade! This is not only our policy towards the Xia people, but also the basic policy towards all the ethnic groups under our rule. ”
Yu Hong suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "But I don't know, what price do you have to pay?" ”
There is no free lunch in the world, as the head of a family, Yu Hong will naturally not be lost by the beautiful blueprint drawn by the other party, he has always believed in the Han people's sentence: take it in advance must give it first!
"Of course." Xue Wanche nodded and said: "All ethnic groups enjoy the same status as the Han people, and naturally they must also abide by basic obligations, first of all, every article of the Great Sui Law must be observed, and human life cannot be disregarded because of the customs of their own people, if anyone violates it, no matter which nationality the people are, they must bear considerable punishment; Secondly, all military power belongs to the imperial court, and no nation or family can keep a private army! ”
"As a member of the imperial court, you should abide by the law!" Yu Hong completely relieved himself, hesitated slightly, and said, "I am not alone in this matter, and I need to ask for the consent of the other leaders." I also asked General Xue to stay here for a few days. ”
"Nature." Xue Wanche nodded, and said, "But I'm worried that the Turkic army is coming, and the sooner you decide, the better." ”
The soldiers are fast, what is the situation between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, Xue Wanche doesn't know, even if he knows, he can't do anything, the most important thing he needs to do is to return home safely with the lucky surviving Great Sui soldiers. Now the Turks are searching for their whereabouts everywhere, so every bit of time is precious to Xue Wanche! And he said so much to Yu Hong, naturally he wanted to use the other party's forces to allow him and more than a thousand Great Sui soldiers to return to China victoriously.
"I understand!" Yu Hong also knew that time was pressing, and seeing that Xue Wanche was also very sleepy, he asked people to arrange him and the Sui army, and immediately convened the leaders to discuss.
When Xue Wanche woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day, he washed his face, he was full of energy, he felt that his body had recovered to its heyday, and there was even a feeling of breakthrough, this discovery made him excited.
After breakfast, Yu Hong brought back the good news, and after discussion, the little leaders of Rouran all agreed to belong to the Great Sui, for them, this is the best and only way out.
After Yu Hong finished talking about the decision of the Rouran clan, he asked Xue Wanche, "I don't know where the general is going to start?" ”
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xue Wanche's mouth: "Ba Yegu." ”
It doesn't matter who the chief of Bayegu is, but Xue Wanche knows that Bayegu was disabled by Yang Dong and them at the beginning of the year, and the most important thing is that the servant bones closest to Bayegu are also broken, once Bayegu is attacked, the servant bones who are afraid of the Great Sui army will inevitably retreat when they don't know how many troops they have, as long as they cross the Krulun River safely, it is a blank area that has been emptied by Yang Dong.
"Bayegu?" Yu Hong looked at Xue Wanche in astonishment: "I don't know when the general is going to send troops?" ”
"The sooner the better, it's best to be able to go today!" Xue Wanche said categorically.
"This ......" Yu Hong hesitated: "Our warriors can be assembled at any time, but I'm afraid that the strong men under the command of the general can't hold on......"
More than 1,000 people under Xue Wanche's command have not slept a peaceful sleep for more than half a month, but they have rested for the night, Yu Hong is very worried about whether they can continue to fight, not to mention the soldiers under his command, it is Xue Wanche, who now looks very haggard.
"The chief can rest assured, it is a matter of my Great Sui dignity, and my Great Sui soldiers will never retreat half a step." Xue Wanche stood up, his tone sonorous.
