Chapter 64 Betting

3days ago traverse Novels 3
Murong Xuan's idea was that even if the Tang people were defeated this time and lost the Yellow River Basin and Tuyuhun area again and were forced to the national border, the Murong family still had a way out: after showing their loyalty to the Tang court, they could apply for internal migration, and like the Xianbei people in Lingzhou, let the Tang Dynasty set a place within the territory for them to grazed and live.

Murong Xuan relied on the strength of Fu Lu clan. Although he was not exactly a puppet, the one who spoke the most was not Murong but his minister Fu Lu clan.

However, the Murong family has an advantage, that is, they have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and especially have close contact with the current power-based people of the King of Jin faction. For example, when Zhang Wulang was in Fuqi City, he was often the guest of honor in the king's tent.

The Khan King did not want to be completely controlled by the great prime minister Fu Lu, so he could not break the line on the Tang Dynasty, otherwise there would be no possibility of confronting Fu Lu... This is the most important reason why he tried his best to pro-Tang.

On the other hand, Fu Lu was obviously more familiar with the line on Tubo, and Murong Xuan could not compare.If Tuyuhun surrendered to Tubo, he would have no hope and would have to make Fu Lu dare not resist at all.

Of course, these are all things in Murong Xuan's heart and cannot be expressed clearly. We can only find other reasons to convince the leaders and slave owners of the tribe to rely on the Tang Dynasty.

But everyone was not convinced of his reasons. Some people said: Although Shibao City is in the hands of the Tang army now, the Tang people can't control Tubo, and Tubo can still threaten us.If I had to place a bet on one side, I would rather bet on Tubo, after all, they had an army of 500,000!

At this moment, a minister who supported the Khan pointed out the window paper: If you bet on the Tang Dynasty, you can move inward if you lose; what should you do if you lose if you bet on the Tubo?Should King Khan and Da Xiang take the prison car to Chang'an?

Moving inward?Fu Lu finally understood the abacus of Murong Xuan’s group: if you move into the Tang territory, you will be directly ruled by Chang'an, and Murong Xuan has a good relationship with the Tang people, so why are you doing me Fu Lu?

Fu Lu immediately stood up and said: The Tubo soldiers are just under our noses. We can't fight but we can't beat them. The Tang soldiers are still unknown. What can we do?Let’s discuss peace with the Tubo people first. Even if the Tang soldiers come back in the future, they should understand our difficulties, because they came too slowly.What's more, I think the Tubo people have a great chance of winning. This time they come like many people who are determined to win the old place!

Since Fu Lu expressed his attitude, most of the people present felt that there was no need to continue controversy, but there was still someone who was not convinced: It is not difficult for our 100,000 army to block him for a month. When the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty came to join forces and fight against Quanrong, they might not be able to win...

I think what Da Xiang said makes sense.

Murong Xuan interrupted the man in real time, expressing his support for Fulu.

This attitude made Fu Lu very satisfied. He felt that Murong Xuan was very worried as the Khan King and was a person who knew the progress and retreat.

Murong Xuan sighed and said: If you block the car with a mantis arm, even if you can deal with it for one month, your vitality will be severely damaged and it will be difficult to recover in ten years.

The Khan and Da Xiang agreed, so the others stopped arguing, and the tent quickly returned to peace.Fu Lu Dao: Send someone to meet Jide Zuzan...

……

After everyone dispersed, Murong Xuan secretly asked his confidant to make a statement at night and took a token to the man and told him: Immediately enter the Tang territory to see the King of Jin, and told him that Fu Lu wanted to surrender to Quanrong.It must be kept confidential, otherwise I will stop.

The messenger took out a wax ball and said: If things are not good, I will put them in my mouth and bit them. If they enter my throat, they will die!I swear to never say a word.

Murong Xuan was quite moved after hearing this, and his eyes shone on his pale face: I hope you complete your mission successfully!

……

Although Murong Xuan and Fu Lu had the same monarch and ministers in the same city, they undoubtedly had different dreams in the same bed.When Murong Xuan sent envoys to the Tang territory, Fu Lu also sent envoys to meet Jidezuzan.

When the Xianbei envoys were discovered by the Tubo cavalry, they saw that they were polite and did not act recklessly. They sent someone to report to Jide Zuzan while sending them over.

After hearing the news, Jide Zuzan looked back and said: The Xianbei people have surrendered.

After hearing this, the generals burst into laughter. Why didn’t the envoys come to surrender at this time?

Jide then asked someone to bring the messenger over to meet him, obviously willing to accept surrender...

After all, the Xianbei people had at least 100,000 soldiers. Although they could not defeat Tubo, if they really wanted to fight to the death, Tubo would be enough to drink a pot, which was both labor-intensive and time-consuming, which was not conducive to the overall situation.

The real opponent of Tubo was the Tang Dynasty.

Before the people arrived, the Tubo nobles had already discussed in their tents that they would blackmail the Xianbei people.

The Mo family, one of the largest nobles in Tubo, smiled and said: I will first ask for a batch of cattle and sheep, if I can't hold on with the Tang soldiers for a long time, then I will ask them for it.

There is no doubt that cattle, sheep and horses should be needed. Apart from that, what other good things do the Xianbei people have? Do you know?Lang's head man asked everyone with a smile.

The former old leader of Lang's family was slashed by Xue Chongxun. Now this heir is as old as Ji De, and he speaks in an opportunistic manner as he is, so Lang's family is even more favored than before, and he speaks much more casually in front of the Khan than others.

Sure enough, Ji De's expression became very interested, and he turned around and asked: Just say it.

Lang smiled and said: If Fu Lu betrays the old master and forms an alliance with us, he must do two things: bloodshed and marriage...

When Ji De heard this, he understood: By the way, Murong has two sisters. The eldest sister married Fulu and there was a girl. It was just right to ask for her to be a concubine.

No.

Lang smiled teasingly, "I haven't heard anyone tell me what the girl of Murong is. I'm afraid there is nothing outstanding about being famous. On the contrary, Fu Lu's wife Murong Yan's eldest sister Murong Yan is famous and many people from all over the world have heard of it... Why didn't the Khans let Fu Lu take his wife with him when he agreed to make a blood alliance?"

Although Jide was cruel and lustful, he did not do anything right or wrong. When he heard this, he looked upright and pondered: Because of the excuse of not being able to get on the table, why did he make an alliance and let others bring women to do it? I am afraid that the old man Fu Lu will not be able to hold back his face and will be forced to fight with us if he is too impatient. Wouldn't it affect the serious business?

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this, and they looked down upon the favored Lang. They felt that this guy had all his slander and came up with bad ideas. Fortunately, the Khan was wise to take the overall situation into consideration.

But Lang said confidently: Isn’t it easy to make excuses?The Xianbei people were indeed Fu Lu had the final say, but they were still from the Murong family.Since you want to get rid of your blood, you have to call someone from the Murong family, right?Murong Xuan is going to take charge of the royal city, and there are only two sisters left. The girl’s unmarried daughter is not allowed to come over to say anything. And Murong Yan happens to be Fu Lu’s wife. What’s wrong with the couple coming to form an alliance together?

After thinking for a moment, Ji De was overjoyed and said: This method works!After a while, the messenger came, and we wrote a book and asked the Fu Lu and his wife to come over to discuss peace.

After waiting for a while, the messenger suddenly reported to the place and the Tubo people passed it into the king's tent.

The messenger was still a little nervous when he first came in, but unexpectedly, Jide laughed: I know you are here to negotiate peace!Tuyuhun is our ally, and a temporary separation does not mean eternal enemies. As long as you agree to make up for the relationship, I am very happy to be able to reconcile and pass on the letter!

The envoy did not expect this to be successful, so he hurriedly took out the national letter from his pocket and handed it respectfully and said: In the past, my Khan was forced by the Tang people and was helpless. If the Tang people threatened him, they would send troops to plunder all the cattle and sheep of our clan. Only after life and death were there, would he come up with the worst plan to temporarily form an alliance with him.In two years, the great minister dared not forget the Khan's covenant for a day, and just waited for the Khan to lead a group of eagles back here to make friends forever...

Ji De read the Chinese Book casually and threw it aside and said: We have the conditions.

The envoy said: Our country is willing to pay the Khan according to the old rules and obey the Khan's enemies with the Khan.

Jide and the nobles looked at each other and said after a moment: The number of cattle and sheep given each year should increase. Later, I will compile a book with your Khan. If you agree, I will ask Fulu Daxiang and his wife to come together to fight blood and turn swords into jade and silk.

The envoy soon realized that Murong Yan was a little unreasonable among the people whom the Tubo people appointed to meet, so he immediately asked: Why do you want her to come if you don’t ask about state affairs?

As expected by the Tubo people, the Tuyuhun envoy would have questions, but Jide Zuzan had already prepared an excuse and said easily: Is your Khan surname Fulu or Murong?Since we have to form a blood alliance before the gods, how can we do without the Murong family?

The envoy frowned and said: I will report back to the Khan and the Great Prime Minister, and it will be decided by the king's tent.

Both sides have a desire to reconcile, so it is not difficult to negotiate, it is just a matter of how to reconcile.The Tubo people received the national letter and then wrote the letter and replied, explaining the conditions and other matters, asking the envoys to take them back.

The excuse that the Murong family members involved in the Tubo family was obviously not very clever. People with discerning eyes could understand the humiliation at once. What the Tubo people wanted to do was clearly understand, but they just wanted to make their intentions more tactful: the girl who occupied Murong Xuan was famous for her name as marriage; she wanted to insult Murong Yan and was called an alliance with the royal family.

……

After the upper class of Fuqi City received the reply from Tubo, it was acceptable to increase the number of cattle and sheep. There would be no fairness if there was a difference in strength and weakness, and it was understandable that the conditions were harsh. However, it was obviously a great shame to let Murong Yan, who had already married Fulu Daxiang, go to the Tubo camp.

In the concept of nomadic peoples, the humiliation of his wife is more unacceptable than the innocence of his daughter and sister. Therefore, it is okay for the Tubo people to marry into the Khan's girl Murong Dong to marry into a concubine, but it is a bit too much to suggest that Murong Yan enters the wolf's den.

(The last time I went to the Tang Dynasty to discuss peace, Murong Yan was brought by Fu Lu himself, which is a different matter; this time it was proposed by the Tubo people, and the intentions are doubtful.)

At this moment, Fu Lu actually made an unexpected decision: agree to take Murong Yan to peace talks together!

The so-called first thing will happen again.

After the Tubo people were defeated and ran away, Fu Lu was afraid that the Tang soldiers would take their wife to Shanzhou; this time he was afraid that the Tubo soldiers could also take their wife to see Jide Zuzan...
