The Turkic envoy had already done his homework in advance, and then he told Xue Shao one by one the invitations and conditions offered by the Turkic side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's nothing more than three points.

The Turkic Khanate pleaded guilty to the suzerainty of the Great Zhou Dynasty for the murder of the prisoners, and sent a special envoy to Luoyang to present the petition to the world, and offered 20,000 cattle, sheep and livestock, 5,000 good horses and horses, and precious artifacts such as gold and green jade. Among them, the "war criminal" Wang Yu will also go to Luoyang with the Turkic envoy for trial. This can be regarded as an explanation to the Great Zhou court.

In addition, the Turks were willing to return five thousand Han slaves. These people were all Chinese people who were captured by the Turkic army on the steppe when the Turkic invaders invaded the Central Plains in previous years, including craftsmen and husbands, women and children. Most of them became the personal slaves of the Turkic nobles, or were forced to join the army and became military slaves who fought exclusively for the Turkic Khanate. This can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the Great Zhou.

In the end, it can be regarded as the Turkic explanation to Xue Shao himself. As long as Xue Shao is willing to withdraw from the army and make peace, they are willing to return Xue Linyu and Xuan Yunzi.

Speaking from his heart, Xue Shao felt that the conditions offered by the Turkic side were actually quite good.

Xue Shao smiled when he heard this, and said to the Turkic envoy: "Yuan Zhen - well, he is now called Tun Desire Valley - his brain has always been good. His three conditions took into account the face of my Great Zhou court, the wishes of the people of Great Zhou, and the thoughts of my Xue Shao himself. ”

"Our national tent unanimously agreed that as long as the two countries can stop the war, there will be no more human suffering. Any condition is negotiable. The words of the messenger were even more beautiful.

Xue Shao Tongchang said with a smile: "Just because Yuanzhen's brain is too good, under such tempting conditions, will there be any fatal traps?" ”

"Xue Gong is too worried." The envoy hurriedly bowed down and said sincerely: "When the envoy came, Mohe Dagan solemnly told me. He said that Xue Gongzhi is as deep as the sea and his eyes are like torches, even if he dares to deceive the world, he does not dare to make an axe in front of Xue Gong, steal and play tricks. There is no deceit in these three things, and I hope that Xue Gong will learn from it. ”

"Ho!" Xue Shao laughed, "I didn't expect that Yuanzhen would also come to pat my ass." ”

The Turkic envoy began to smile and almost flattery, "Xue Gong is a hero in the world, who doesn't admire it?" Even if it was Xue Gong's former enemy, they were all convinced by Xue Gong's heart! ”

The camp burst into laughter.

"You're really good, you messenger." Xue Shao also smiled, "Just this kung fu of blowing whiskers and slapping horses is already perfect, and it is impossible to prevent it!" ”

Xue Gong smiled. Zhu Gong smiled. The envoy smiled and bowed to the generals in the camp.

"You go down and rest. I will give you a clear answer after I have consulted with the generals. ”

The Turkic envoys thanked them and left first.

Niu Ben couldn't hold it anymore, and as soon as the messenger left, he shouted, "That birdman has a knife hidden in his smile, it's definitely not a good thing!" ”

The generals burst into laughter.

Niu Ben was even more annoyed, "What are you laughing at? Isn't that right?! ”

"Yes." Xue Shao stepped forward and patted his arm, "If he weren't a Turkic envoy, I would have you beat him up." ”

The generals laughed again.

After laughing, Xue Shao was upright and said to the generals: "I intend to accept the conditions of the Turks asking for peace. Generals, what do you think? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

Because all along, Xue Shao's attitude towards the main battle has been so tough that he goes against the sky. Now that his attitude has suddenly changed so dramatically, it is a bit of a surprise.

For a moment, everyone was stunned and speechless.

Xue Shao looked around at everyone for a moment and said, "Since all the generals have no objections, then pass on the order to temporarily stop the march." The whole army is divided into three parts and camped on the spot, and after I have agreed on the details of the peace alliance with the Turkic tents, I will make the next plan - scatter the tents, and all of them will retreat! ”

By this time, all the generals had not reacted, but Xue Shao had already issued an order to expel the guests, and everyone had to come out with their own stunned and puzzled questions.

Niu Ben was in a hurry, and ran back a few steps after walking out of the handsome tent, "Xue Shuai, you ......"

"If you believe me, you don't have to say much." Xue Shao pushed him back with a word.

Niu Ben was stunned for a long time, nodded, and turned away.

Xue Shao sat down alone and was silent for a long time, and sent someone to call Xue Chuyu.

"What do the generals say?" Xue Shao asked bluntly.

Xue Chuyu replied truthfully, and all the generals couldn't understand why Xue Shuai's attitude changed so suddenly and so hugely? Could it really be because of the eldest son Xue Linyu and the red-colored confidant Xuan Yunzi?

Xue Shao smiled, "What do you think?" ”

"I am convinced that Xue Shuai will not give up halfway. Or they are planning a good plan to destroy the enemy, or they have other far-reaching plans. Xue Chuyu replied.

Xue Shao was noncommittal and just smiled indifferently and said: "The whole army is divided into three camps, and the marshal tent is set up in the Chinese army as usual. After the Turkic envoys leave, I want you to lead the Jumping Army Duzhen Chinese Army. Is there a problem? ”

"Duzhen Zhongjun?" Xue Chuyu was a little surprised, "Xue Shuai, you mean to say that you will not be in the Chinese army at that time?" ”

"Yes." Xue Shao said, "When the time comes, I want you to be responsible for commanding the whole army." Fight, beautiful defeat. ”

"What?" Xue Chuyu was even more surprised, "Defeat?!" ”

"You heard it right, it's a defeat." Xue Shao said, "In addition to the Jumping Army, I will also hand over more than half of the cavalry of the entire army to you." Immediately after the defeat, retreat to the mouth of the black sand moraine, how fast you run, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”

Xue Chuyu and Xue Shao had been fighting side by side for so many years, and it was the first time they had received such a bizarre military order, so he was shocked and dazed: "Then what, what is a beautiful defeat?" ”

"I forgot, you've never lost a battle like this." Xue Shao said, "But this time, I want you to flee in a hurry after the battle, and the camp will be lost and lost." In this way, it can be described as a big failure. If casualties are reduced to a very low level, it is a beautiful defeat. I have looked at the generals and schools of the whole army, and only you, Xue Chuyu, can have this ability. Not even me. In addition, Yuan Zhen has always been treacherous and extremely suspicious. You are the god of war in the world, and the Jumping Army is the strongest combat power of our army. Only if even you Xue Chuyu is defeated, he may still be able to believe a thing or two. ”

Xue Chuyu took a deep breath and said, "Xue Shuai, even if we fail, our losses will be great. Is it really certain that you will win in such a dangerous situation? ”

"Of course not." Xue Shao said, "If I am sure of victory, why should I postpone it to this day, and why should I take risks? ”

"So...... The last general understands! Xue Chuyu solemnly clenched his fists, "The last general will retire, so let's go down and prepare!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Xue Shao stood up, walked up to him, stared at him, and said, "This battle is not trivial. ”

"The last will understand." Xue Chuyu nodded.

Xue Shao said: "You and my brothers have fought together for many years, and they have all won bloody battles. This time, I want you to fight a great defeat, and your reputation may be ruined because of it. Don't you want to ask a question? ”

A slight smile appeared on Xue Chuyu's always very solemn face, "If you should tell me, Xue Shuai will naturally tell me." Others, I don't ask. ”

"If you ask, I'll tell you."

"I don't ask." Xue Chuyu bowed with his fists, turned around and left.

Xue Shao grabbed him and pulled him back.

The two faced each other, and Xue Shao almost gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Come back alive!" ”

"Hmm!" Xue Chuyu strode away.

Xue Shao sat down and looked up at the sky and showed his exhaustion. Slowly closing his eyes, he muttered to himself, "I can't bear the child, I really can't trap the wolf!" ”

A few days later, the Turkic envoys who had stayed in the camp of the Zhou army and consulted with Xue Shao for a few days rushed back to Yudu Jinshan with a document of peace and alliance drafted by Xue Shao, and went to seek a reply from the Turkic tent.

Historically, the two armies have fought each other in front of each other to negotiate peace, and both sides have tried their best to bargain, and the envoys have not gone back and forth to negotiate six or seven or eight times, and it is difficult to reach a real compromise. In view of this, Xue Shao decided to retreat most of the people and some of the foot soldiers to the mouth of the black sand moraine first. When the Turkic envoys left, they also saw with their own eyes the men and horses under Xue Shao's command, who were retreating to Heisha in batches.

This news naturally and truthfully reached the ears of Tunyu Valley.

"I can't believe it." Tunyugu said to the envoy, "You did see with your own eyes that the men and horses under Xue Shao's command retreated?" ”

"It's true!" The envoy's words were convincing, "Xue Shao also told me personally that in order to show the sincerity of the peace alliance, he first withdrew some of his troops and horses and temporarily returned to Heisha. I also hope that the tooth tent will keep its promises. ”

"If Xue Shao's heart doesn't die, he won't really withdraw his troops. In this, there must be fraud. Tunyugu sneered and said, "But it doesn't matter, I'll do it." You take a thousand women, children, and Hannu to meet Xue Shao again, and remember to find out the movements of his soldiers and horses and the reality of the army. ”

The envoy nodded blankly, "What about the details of the peace alliance?" ”

"Let's just say that the dental tent is being urgently discussed and processed, and it will be implemented in the near future." "The 1,000 women and children who were returned in advance were to show the sincerity of our Turkic peace. ”

The envoy completely followed the instructions of Tun Desire Valley and went back to see Xue Shao again.

A thousand women and children and Han slaves have finally returned to their homes, all of them crying tears with joy, and many people knelt down in front of the tent of the Chinese army commander, crying endlessly.

Xue Shao personally came forward to comfort and settle these women and children, and sent troops and horses to escort them to the interior, and then came to meet the Turkic envoys.

The messenger still had a trademark smile on his face, "Thousands of women and children worship Xue Shuai, it's really touching!" ”

Xue Shao had a gloomy face, snorted coldly and ignored it.

The envoy was a little stunned, and hurriedly said: "But what did you do wrong to make Xue Shuai so displeased?" ”

"You have delayed for many days, and you have sent these thousand women and children." Xue Shao said in a deep voice with anger, "If you don't want to make peace, please send troops to fight." Hugh wants to send me Xue someone as a flower child! ”

"No, no, Xue Shuai, don't get me wrong!" The envoy hurriedly said, "There are many things to do with the peace alliance, and the tooth tent side is negotiating day and night to solve it urgently. Everything is easy to discuss, Xue Shuai must not spoil a big thing because of a momentary anger! ”

Xue Shao sneered, "It's you who want to make peace." Now, it is you who procrastinate and do not show sincerity. If I am truly angry, I will be provoked by you. Can you blame me? ”

The envoy smiled bitterly, "According to Xue Gong's opinion, how can it be shown that we really have the sincerity to make peace?" ”

"Send my son Linyu and Xuanyunzi first." Xue Shao said undoubtedly.

"This ......" the messenger was full of embarrassment.

"I know you can't be the master. Go back and tell Tun Desire Valley that he can't see these two people for a day, and there is no need to talk about the alliance. It's good to go, don't send it! Xue Shao said this categorically, stroked his sleeves and left.

The scouts on the left and right stepped forward together, blasting the Turkic envoy out of the camp almost as if they were kidnapping. The messenger was helpless, and ran back to the front of the valley of desire.

Lust Valley pondered for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Xue Shao was so rebellious that he made rude demands. Why did Moheda laugh? The messenger was puzzled.

"You don't know Xue Shao." As he spoke, he stood up and paced slowly, "He has always been a soldier, and his six relatives don't recognize him. Now he is so desperate to get back his precious son and confidante that he never even mentions Wang Yu. That can more or less prove that he has returned to his heart and does not want to fight this battle again. ”

"Oh?" The messenger was stunned, "How so?" ”

Tunyugu pondered for a moment and said, "In recent years, the court in the southern country has not been stable. The empress is getting old, and the trend of competing for the heir is intensifying. Not long ago, the empress's henchman Zhang Changzong was killed, which caused a huge shock in the court situation, and a group of people led by Wu Sansi Zhang Yizhi and others took advantage of the situation to point the finger at Xue Shao, and knocked down several henchmen under his command. Among them were Dang Jinbi and Guo Dafeng, who had guarded the capital for many years, and even Guo An, the leader of the scouts who had followed Xue Shao for many years. It can be seen that Xue Shao's situation is not good. At the moment, his biggest enemy is not my Turk, but his own people behind him. ”

"Is there such a thing? How could we not know at all? The messenger was amazed.

Lust Valley smiled, "With such a secret, how could Nanguo easily let the grassland know?" ”

"It's also ......"

Lust Valley paced slowly, muttering to himself, "On the battlefield, he may really be invincible. But this time, we really found a good helper. Since the court of the southern kingdom wants to kill him so much, why don't I help him? ”

The messenger's eyes lit up, "What do you mean?" ……”

"The most feared thing in the Southern Imperial Court is that Xue Shao has a heavy army in his hands, and his tail is too big to fall. Otherwise, with the usual behavior of the empress and Wu Sansi and others, Xue Shaoyi would have been cut down to the end long ago. Tun Desire Valley said, "An experienced and victorious commander like Xue Shao will not be defeated in the face of no matter how powerful the battlefield enemy is. However, people like him also have a fatal weakness, that is, being subject to the court. At this time, what Xue Shao wanted to do most was nothing more than to wave his troops back to the court, shock the court, fight against political enemies, and protect his henchmen. If we can keep him at bay, the more time goes on, the more chaotic his position will become. When their positions are disordered, our army will strike again, and the certainty of victory will be greatly enhanced. Even if he can't capture Xue Shao himself, after he returns to the dynasty, he will no longer have the prestige and powerful army he used to be the capital of the past. Sooner or later, a dead end! ”

"Kill with a knife - Takami! Mohedagan, it's really a high opinion! The envoy was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said, "Then how should we reply to Xue Shao now?" ”

"Pick up the least important person first and send him back." Lust Valley said.

"Then Xuanyunzi?"

"Wrong. Xuan Yunzi knows too many things, and he must not put them back now. Give him back his bale son first! "When you get there, with your incorruptible tongue, try your best to deal with it." In a word, drag! ”

"Yes!"
