Chapter 416: Silent Scheming
About half an hour later, Su Gongzi came back, his face was full of gloom, he grabbed a jar of wine and poured it into his mouth.
Cui Geng didn't stop him, and when he finished drinking, he chuckled lightly and said, "Su Gongzi is not simple, he has a lot to do with Sun Shuwen, the only daughter of Khitan Sun Wanrong. ”
Su Gongzi was surprised: "What? Do you know Shuwen? Who are you? ”
Cui Geng's identity is not a secret, so he simply told him bluntly, "I am Cui Geng, the author of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I don't know who Brother Su is?" ”
"Cui Geng, Cui Erlang, the sweetheart of the Turkic princess Radamizhu? What a coincidence! ”
Su Gongzi bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Reacquaint yourself with Su Yun, the new king of Xi people!" The purpose of this king's visit to the Turks this time was to propose to Princess Radamigru. ”
"King Xi?" This time Cui Geng was shocked.
Of course, he knew that the Khitan and Xi people were the same family on the outside and on the outside, and this time the Turks were against the Zhou, and the Xi people also sent troops to participate in it.
Grandma's, this little white-faced person is not good, not only to warp Lao Tzu's corner, but also to persuade the Turks to oppose Zhou!
His face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh? So, we're still friends and foes? ”
"No, no." Su Yun shook his head again and again, and said, "Brother Cui, don't worry, Xiao Wang hasn't finished his words yet." Although the purpose of Xiao Wang's visit to the Turks is indeed this, but now...... It's been changed. ”
"What? Changed? Can this thing be changed? ”
"Yes, you also saw it just now, what this king really likes is Sun Shuwen, even if Radami Zhu is as beautiful as a fairy, I can't look down on it......"
Then, he did not hide it, and revealed the inside story of his mission.
The hundreds of thousands of armies of the Great Zhou and the Khitan confronted each other, and the daily expenses were astronomical. Da Zhou is uncomfortable, and the Khitan is even more uncomfortable.
Sun Wanrong sent three groups of envoys to the Turks, but they were all detained by Modu, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, that is, not letting people go.
After hearing the news that the Great Zhou sent Cui Geng as an envoy, Sun Wanrong became even more anxious and sent a fourth group of envoys: the eldest son Sun Boxing, the second son Sun Zhongli, the third daughter Sun Shuwen, and the most important ally of the Khitan, King Xi Su Yun.
The three men, all of whom are noble and dignified, are at the mercy of Radamizhu.
As for Sun Shuwen, she took the initiative to deliver goods to her door and wanted to marry Mo Du's second son Yang Wuzhi.
Sun Shuwen was dumbfounded when she inquired about it when she arrived in the Turks, this Yang I Zhi was not only extremely cowardly, but also rumored to be a heavenly eunuch. If you marry such a thing, won't the rest of your life be over?
Coincidentally, in the team of the Turkic envoys this time, there was a handsome guy Su Yun. The more Sun Shuwen looked at Su Yun, the more pleasing she became, and after going like this, the two of them actually sparked a spark of love.
But Su Yun is also a thief with a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, he likes Sun Shuwen, but he doesn't dare to disobey the orders of the elders in the clan, and one day he politely rejected the beauty of the beauty.
In the end, Sun Shuwen was furious and secretly left the Khitan mission.
Su Yun was careful about her safety and took a few companions to look around. Later, I heard that there was a "funeral marriage" in Eagle's Beak City, so I came here to try my luck.
This drinking reward is a small trick played by Su Yun, thinking that if Sun Shuwen is nearby, he should be able to be attracted to it.
As a result, although Sun Shuwen was not seen in the drinking reward, when the gang was leaving, the beauty suddenly took the initiative to appear.
After listening to his words, Cui Geng was a little puzzled: "Aren't you King Xi?" Why do you have to listen to the elders of the clan? ”
Su Yundao; "That's the case, the Xi people are divided into five departments, namely: the Ahui Department, the Division and the Department, the Ao Loss Department, the Du Ji Department, and the Yuan Qi Fold. Our Su family is only the chief of the Ahui Department, and he has been the king of Xi for generations. In addition, each of the five ministries had to nominate a person of high moral standing to form the Council of Elders. The Council of Elders made a decision, and even King Xi had to comply. ”
"I see, what is Brother Su going to do next? Continue to look for Sun Shuwen? ”
"I'm not looking for it." Su Yun shook his head and said, "It's not that I didn't catch up with Shuwen, but I made it clear to her." She now has a very safe place to stay, so I don't have to ~ worry about it. If Ratamizhu doesn't take a fancy to me, she will come to me again and be my queen. If it's the other way around......"
"How?"
Su Yun said extremely painfully: "Then we will never see each other again in this life." ”
Cui Geng was not happy to see him like this, pointed to his face and said: "See clearly, Radamizhu is deeply in love with this official!" How do you look at you like this, as if people don't marry you! ”
"Eh, yes, this king is really concerned about chaos." Su Yun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Then the king is here looking forward to Brother Cui holding the beauty." ”
Chai Yunrui suddenly interjected: "No, Cui Xiaozi married Radamizhu, and the Turks and the Great Zhou were united, do you oppose it as King Xi?" ”
Su Yun shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said, "It's a big deal to surrender to Da Zhou, our Xi people don't have to oppose Da Zhou, it's just that it's just the love of the Khitan." ”
Cui Geng thought about it carefully, and this is really the truth.
The Xi only sent troops to join the Khitan army, and did not officially release a document against Zhou. When the time comes, as long as he says that he is coerced by the Khitan, with Wu Zetian's good and happy temperament, not only will he not be punished, but he will also be rewarded with a large amount of money. No matter whether the Khitan wins or loses, the Xi people are sure to make a profit and not lose money!
The elders of the Xi tribe forced Su Yunlai to ask for marriage from Radamizhu, I am afraid that the main purpose was to appease the Turks, not to fight for the Khitan.
In this way, the two allies of the Khitan and the Xi are really not as close as they seem.
……
……
Early the next morning, Cui Geng's team, together with Su Yun, left Eagle's Beak City and went straight to Yu Du Jun Mountain.
Yu Du Jun Mountain is a sacred mountain for the Turks, and at the foot of the mountain is where the tent of Mo Du's teeth is located.
Strange to say, although there are many large and small cities in the Turkic territory, as the capital, there is no city built here. As far as the eye can see, it is a boundless tent ~ tent.
A total of 20,000 Turkic "attached troops" were stationed here, that is, the most elite troops of the Turks, and it was by them that Modu ascended to the supreme khan.
It is no exaggeration to say that wherever the detachment army is, there is the real center of the Turks. What appears in front of Cui Geng now is the deputy commander of the Turkic Affiliated Army, Chaluo, who is inactive.
In terms of power, this person's status among the Turkic nobility is definitely in the top five.
Outside the tooth tent, Cha Luo lost his face with a rebellious face, waved his big hand, and said: "Chai Shilang, Cui Shu, please inside, the Khan told you to go in!" ”
There is nothing wrong with this on the surface, but don't forget, since Cui Geng entered the Turks, including his great enemy Sai Xiulun, they have all called him "King Zuoxian".
Now that Cha Luo was inactive, he suddenly called Cui Shushu, and it was obvious that he didn't recognize Cui Geng's family affairs with La Da Mizhu.
As Cha Luo entered the king's tent alive, Cui Geng swept it slightly, and his heart sank.
The Turkic Khan was silent, facing south and facing north, sitting in the center.
On the left side of the box are dozens of Turkic officials with familiar faces, all of whom are sitting precariously with solemn faces.
On the right are the three Khitans and Su Yuan, the king of Xi.
Sun Boxing and Sun Zhongli Cui Geng knew each other, and there was another person, in his forties, with a sallow complexion, decent facial features, and bright eyes, but the eyebrows that were "positive eight characters", how awkward to look.
The situation is not good, where is his staunchest supporter Radami Zhu? Even if there is no Radamizhu, it would be good if the cheap brother-in-law was in the same Russian special service! What does it mean to hide them?
"Erlang, Ben Khan will introduce you."
Mo Du was quite enthusiastic on the surface, but the next words were not so polite, and said: "The two sons of the Khitan Khan, Erlang you should know." As for this, it is the Khitan famous general Li Kaigu. He is not only strong in martial arts, but also good at wielding. In the Huangzhang Valley, Ma Renjie and Zhang Xuanyu, the two Great Zhou generals, were both caught by his rope. ”
In the battle of Huangzhang Valley, the Great Zhou lost 100,000 divisions, which can be called a great shame. Mo Du said this, and the meaning of derogating the Great Zhou Yang Khitan has been clearly revealed.
However, Cui Geng was actually not as angry as he imagined.
Although Li Kaigu is now a famous Khitan general, in the historical records of later generations, he surrendered to the Great Zhou. After Sun Wanrong was defeated, he even redeemed his merits and swept away the remaining anti-Zhou forces of the Khitan.
The most important thing is that Li Kaigu also has a good grandson, Li Guangbi, who is officially named the king of Linhuai County, and is nicknamed "Wu Mu".
If there is no such person, it is really hard to say whether Datang can quell the Anshi Rebellion.
Cui Geng clenched his fists slightly and said, "General Li, look up for a long time, look up for a long time." On the battle array, the swords and guns have no eyes, life and death have their own destiny, even if you kill my Zhou army a lot, it is a public hatred, not a personal hatred. In fact, Cui still admires General Li's ability. ”
"Oh? Is it? ”
The technique of "earthworm chicken" has saved the lives of many Khitan people in the two-year drought. Therefore, in the minds of the Khitan people, Cui Geng is almost the same as a Buddha of ten thousand families.
Li Kaigu praised him and said happily: "I didn't expect Cui Shushu to have such a high evaluation of the young general, the young general is really ashamed!" In fact, for the name of your "golden holy hand", the young general is convinced to take out and admire. ”
Come on, these two actually flattered each other.
Mo Du originally wanted to use the Khitans to suppress Da Zhou, but now it seems that he has completely failed.
He simply went straight to the point and said: "I don't know what Chai Shilang and Cui Shushu want to do when they send me to the Turks this time?" ”
Chai Yunrui took out the national letter of Da Zhou and said: "There are mainly two things: one is that the Khitan does not abide by the courtesies and raises troops to attack my Da Zhou. Since the Turks are my Great Zhou vassals, they should send troops to attack the Khitan with the Zhou army. Another thing, but it was a private matter, Cui Shu and Princess Radami Zhu fell in love and came to ask the Khan for marriage. ”
A guard came up, took the credentials, and handed them to Modu.
Mo Du didn't even look at the national book, put it aside casually, and said in a deep voice: "The first thing is not to talk about for the time being, the second thing, Erlang, if you are willing to join the family, Ben Khan can immediately crown you as the king of Zuoxian, and you can marry Radamizhu within three days." I don't know what you think? ”
Of course, Cui Geng couldn't agree, and said firmly: "Thank you for the Khan's kindness, it's just that Cui is a good man, he just wants to marry a wife, but he doesn't want to be someone's son-in-law." ”
"Okay, Erlang is ambitious!"
Mo Du didn't think it was angry at all, smiled slightly, and said: "Then let's change the conditions, Feng, Sheng, Ling, Xia, Shuo, and Dai six prefectures, there are tens of thousands of Turkic households. If the Great Zhou is willing to return all these people to our Turks, Ben Khan can help the Great Zhou to attack the Khitan; In addition, there is no problem with the marriage of Jiro and Radamizhu. This condition is lenient enough, right? ”
Loose ghost!
In fact, this condition is simply harsh to the extreme.
The so-called "Turkic surrender" is the Turkic people who have submitted to the Great Zhou.
Sending back those who surrendered to the Great Zhou will greatly increase the strength of the Turks, and it is also morally unjustifiable.
This matter is rumored to be rumored, which Turkic people dare to betray their own people and surrender to the Great Zhou? can't even keep a few descendants, what kind of heavenly kingdom is Da Zhou?
It can be said that this is equivalent to Mo Du dragging Wu Zetian over and slapping him a few times.
Cui Geng clearly remembered that in history, Wu Zetian was finally forced to agree to the Turkic request, which was criticized by later generations. Yang Zaisi, the waiter of the Great Zhou Envoy Rites Department, left a reputation for eternity.
No way! This time it's me Cui Geng's envoy, but I can't carry this black cauldron!
Thinking of this, he shook his spirits and said firmly: "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this condition of the Khan!" ”
"Haha, can't you promise?"
The deputy commander of the attached army, Cha Luo, suddenly let out a strange cry, and said: "You Da Zhou refuses to agree, these six states will be lowered, and we Turks will take it ourselves!" As for Princess Radami Zhu, don't even think about it! ”
