In late November of the 17th year of the Great Qian, the captured Beiliang Fuqu Wuxian was escorted to Chang'an along with several of his brothers and more than 3,000 Beiliang soldiers, and at the same time the families and heirs of these main figures were escorted.

Zhao Junsheng had nothing to say about Frustrated Qu Wushu and his brothers and their heirs, and directly ordered a knife to be beheaded; As for the more than 3,000 Beiliang troops, Zhao Junsheng ordered them to go to mining; and the daughters of these people, who are frustrated, have also been given to those meritorious soldiers.

It was only at this time that the Western Regions were completely under the control of the Qianguo.

At the same time, the envoys sent by the Daqian court had also arrived in Dunhuang, preparing to rest in Dunhuang for a few days before setting off for the kingdom of Quanyumo.

The black-clothed guard and the Imperial City Division quickly launched their actions after receiving Zhao Junsheng's orders respectively, the black-clothed guards mainly started from the inside of Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty, while the Imperial City Division mainly started from the inside of the Great Cadres, a two-pronged approach!

After more than a month of investigation, this matter finally has some eyebrows.

Lu Xuanbo, the commander of the black-clothed guards, reported the results of the investigation to Zhao Junsheng.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the black-clothed Wei Jiankang Branch, they found out that a covenant was indeed signed between the Southern Dynasty and the Rouran people, and this covenant came from in Chang'an City, it should have been signed by Huang Guangyao, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, and A Luogan, the envoy of Rouran! But they didn't find out the specific content of the covenant, this covenant was secretly sent to Jiankang, and no more than five people have seen its contents, so it is difficult to find out the relevant details, but they are trying to get close to the people who have seen the contents of the covenant! ”

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said: "A few days ago, Huang Guangyao, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, came to me to bid farewell, saying that Jiankang had sent a new envoy to replace him, and he said that he had a cough in Chang'an City in the past two years and needed to return to Jiankang to recuperate. ”

Lu Xuanbo hesitated: "Your Majesty means to find out the content of the covenant from Huang Guangyao's body?" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Yes, I originally wanted the Imperial City Division to do this, after all, the Imperial City Division's duty is to deal with the enemy country and spy on it, but our peace treaty with the Southern Dynasty is still in effect, if we openly let the Imperial City Division send out to detain Huang Guangyao, it will definitely cause the indignation of the Southern Dynasty, and on the premise of not being sure whether the Southern Dynasty and Rouran are allied, we had better not make the relationship with the Southern Dynasty too stiff!" So······ I plan to let the black-clothed guard do this, the black-clothed guard will send people to secretly arrest Huang Guangyao, I need you to pry Huang Guangyao's mouth open with the most effective means and in the shortest possible time, since he can send Arogan out of the city, there must be something wrong with Arogan! ”

Lu Xuanbo clenched his fists and agreed: "No!" ”

Mobei, Rouran Khan Court.

Tan Wuye went through a lot of hardships all the way to escape from the territory of Qianguo to the territory of Mobei, but after he left the territory of Qianguo, it was not smooth, the tribes in the territory of Rouran were not comfortable, and the Rouran tribes in the border area were often raided and harassed by the cavalry of the Great Qianjian Frontier, and these Rouran tribes had to migrate north repeatedly in order to avoid the continuous raids of the Qianling army.

The tribes on the Rouran border, which were harassed by the border army of Qianguo, were extremely hostile to the people from the south, and Tan Wuye was surrounded by several cavalrymen of the Rouran tribe several times and pointed with bows and arrows.

On the way to the Rouran Khan's Court, Mobei had two consecutive heavy snowfalls, the first lasted for three days, and the second lasted for five days.

Tan Wuye almost froze to death in the ice and snow of Mobei, and on the way, wild beasts tried to eat him, and he was killed by him, so he peeled off their fur and wrapped it around his body, and carried their flesh on his back to continue his journey.

Cold and hungry, he had to steal food from the herdsmen in the tribes he passed by, and was hunted down by the herdsmen.

In late November, Tan Wuye arrived at the court of the Rouran Khan after much hardship.

However, Tan Wuye, who had just arrived at the Khan's court, found that the situation here seemed to be very tense, and the Rouran people did not embarrass him because of his status as a monk, thinking that he had risen up to teach the Dharma, so they also provided him with a dome for him to live in.

There was heavy snow on this day, and Tan Wuye stopped a middle-aged monk, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I am a monk from Tianzhu Tan Wuye, dare to ask your national teacher Fa Chan?" ”

The middle-aged monk didn't dare to slack off when he saw that Tan Wuye was a Tianzhu monk, and hurriedly replied: "Unfortunately, two months ago, on the fifth day after the death of the Khan of Elian, the national teacher also passed away!" ”

Tan Wuye was very disappointed, and he hurriedly asked, "Then who is the national teacher of the Rouran Khanate now?" ”

The middle-aged monk shook his head and sighed: "The new khan has not yet succeeded to the throne, how can he come to the national teacher?" ”

Tan Wuye was stunned for a long time, and he didn't notice when the middle-aged monk left.

He walked in the direction of his dome with disappointment, he didn't worry about eating, Rouran was very polite to the monks, he took the bowl out every day and walked around, and the people here would give him food for several days.

was shuttling in the middle of a dome, when suddenly a loud shout reached his ears: "Bastard, bastard, Beito, Gulerin deceive people too much!" ”

A deep voice persuaded: "Tuga Zhen, it's useless to lose your temper, now we are holding back each other with Peto and Gulerin, and no one can help anyone, judging from the current situation, there are faint signs of an alliance between Peto and Gulerin, we must be cautious and can't be isolated by them, otherwise we will be in danger!" ”

Tan Wuye stuck out his head from the side of a dome and observed, and found that it was a few Xianbei nobles, and there were some Rouran warriors standing guard around them.

The Rouran nobles soon left, and Tan Wuye returned to his vault in deep thought.

In the afternoon, he continued to go to the Yuan, and in the process of the Yuan, he kept talking with the herdsmen, and finally figured out the current situation in Rouran.

When he returned to his vault, after careful consideration, Tan Wuye decided to take refuge in Toga Zhen, the young man he had accidentally bumped into in the morning, Prince Rouran Tuga Zhen!

Late at night, Tanwuya followed the route he had inquired about and came to Togajin's camp.

"Who?" Several Rouran warriors armed with scimitars stopped in front of Tan Wuye.

Tan Wuye said to them, "I have to report to Prince Toga, the poor monk Tan Wuye, a monk from Tianzhu, who has been entrusted by Arogan to come to see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Several Rouran warriors looked at each other, and one of them said, "You wait first, I'll report it!" ”

Soon after, the person who went to report came back and said, "Your Royal Highness, please come in, come with me!" ”

"Amitabha!"

After walking for a while, Tan Wuye was ushered into a large vault, which was larger than all the vaults he had seen before.

A young prince was sitting on a seat covered with wolf skins, Tan Wuye raised his eyes and saw that it was the Prince Rouran who he saw during the day, and he stepped forward and folded his hands: "Poor monk Tianzhu monk Tan Wuye pays a visit to Prince Tugazhen!" ”

Toga Zhen looked at him for a moment and asked, "I heard that you were entrusted by Arogan to see me?" Do you have a certificate? ”

Tan Wuye took off the wrench from his hand and presented it and said, "This is the wrench that Arogan Lifa personally handed to the poor monk!" ”

The original function of the wrench was not to be used as an ornament, but to assist in drawing the bow and archery, if you frequently pull the bow and shoot arrows without wearing the wrench, it is easy to cut the fingers.

But over time, some nobles ordered craftsmen to use expensive materials to make wrenches to wear on their thumbs for decoration, ordinary soldiers generally used animal bones, horns, moose horns, etc. to make wrenches, and those with higher status used iron wrenches, and nobles used gold, ivory, and jade to make wrenches abound.

A guard took the wrench and sent it to Toga Ma, who took the wrench and looked left and right, and nodded, "Yes, this is Arogan's wrench!" Is he okay in Chang'an? ”

Tan Wuye said: "He's dead!" Emperor Qianguo issued an edict to behead him and the execution ground outside Chang'an City, along with several of his entourage and dozens of criminals! ”

Tuhezhen suddenly got up and said angrily: "Emperor Qianguo openly ordered to kill my Rouran envoy, is he going to fight with me Rouran?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Arogan is planning to form an alliance with the Southern Dynasties, to drive a wedge between the countries of the Western Regions and the Qianguo, and to disrupt the interior of the Qianguo, so that the surrounding countries can isolate the Qianguo together and jointly send troops to attack the Qianguo, his plan is actually half successful, but he was arrested when he evacuated!"

"Oh? How did he plan, do you know it, Master Tan Wuye? ”

Tan Wuye immediately recounted in detail the strategy he had discussed with Arogan.

It took a while for Tuga Zhen to come back to his senses after hearing this, and he frowned and said, "This prince and Toga Zhen are not unfamiliar, and he can't think of such a precise layout with his head, master, you ······"

"Amitabha! Prince Mingjian, this strategy is indeed from the hands of poor monks! After Tan Wuye finished speaking, he took out the oil paper package that A Luo Gan gave him from his arms and presented it: "This is the alliance signed between A Luo Gan and Huang Guangyao, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, as long as the two sides implement the agreement, the Qian Kingdom will definitely be greatly damaged!" ”

Tuhe Zhen immediately took the oil paper bag and opened it, took out a volume of silk, and unfolded it little by little, he didn't know Chinese, his face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly asked a Han clerk next to him to read the covenant.

After hearing this, Tuga's heart was excited, but when he thought of his current situation and the current situation of the Rouran Khanate, his expression was gloomy again.

"Master Tan Wuye, this prince admires your talent and strategy, but this prince is currently in a difficult situation, and the situation in the khanate is a mess, if I can become a khan, I will definitely carry out the covenant according to the covenant, and I will definitely receive miraculous results, but it is just ······"

Tan Wuye clasped his hands together and said: "Your Royal Highness, the poor monk has been arriving at the Khan's Court for a while, and he is also clear about the situation here. Second, get rid of one of your two brothers, or both, by assassination! If you use both of these methods, your chances of winning will be greater, the poor monk is not talented, you can solve your brother for His Highness, as for finding a person of prestige to support His Highness, this is His Highness's business, the poor monk can't do anything! ”
