Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 127 Long-term plan, kill the leader first (4K)

Should Xianbei want it or not?
Qian Ying was immediately taken aback by Guo Jia's questions.

"Bold! How dare you speak nonsense in front of Khan." An old man behind Qianman wanted to reprimand him, but he lacked confidence.

Liu Qing and Guo Jia ignored this kind of remark about trying to regain their status, but even Liu Qing felt a little surprised by Guo Jia's remark.

So fierce!

Ask Xianbei Khan, should Xianbei want it or not?
However, the effect was surprisingly good, all of a sudden disintegrated the opponent's bluff, such a humiliating question, judging from the opponent's performance, their actual strength was worse than what Liu Qing and Guo Jia imagined.

Negotiations require strength and bargaining chips. If the strength is not equal, then when the results are divided, it will naturally be less.

Xianbei has been in civil wars for years, and it is no longer the Xianbei led by Tan Shihuai. The leader may be worthy of Liu Qing's fear, but Qianman, who failed to fight for the king, may only have value in his legal status.

This point is exactly in line with Liu Qing's goal of combining Enwei and Jia.

Qian Ying showed annoyed expression, "The Fujun came from a long way, just to provoke Xianbei?"

"The princess will be wrong. What the military adviser said is very clear. I went to the grassland only for one thing, to kill the leader. I heard that Helian's youngest son was deprived of the throne by the leader, so I thought, if I can help him to the throne... ..." Liu Qing said, turning his eyes to Qianman, "I wonder if we can keep the peace between the two countries for a long time?"

Helping him to the top, long-term peace, Liu Qing threw out his intentions without any concealment, tested the depth, and then came the see-saw stage of the negotiation.

Liu Qing's words also instantly dissipated the confrontation atmosphere in the tent. The first point he said was what the Qianman tribe wanted most now.

Qianman looked at his older sister, and there seemed to be hope in his eyes. His older sister taught him not to forget his identity since he was a child, and he must regain the big account and the throne when he grows up.

"Your Majesty Liu is really quick to speak, if my brother can return to the big tent, it will surely ensure the long-term peace between the two countries." Qian Ying replied, but he still murmured in his heart, the other party is aggressive, can it be so simple?She went on to say: "But the leader is very powerful, with 30 supporters and tens of thousands of fighters. I don't know Mr. Liu, how can he have the confidence to kill the leader?"

"In the battle with the leader, I already know its strength. If I am not sure, why should I go deep into the grassland alone? There are several conditions for the long-term peace I said."

"My lord, please tell me." Qian Ying said.

"In the past, your grandfather Tan Shihuai, your father and Lian all died in the invasion of Han soil. I know that the climate in the north is getting worse and worse. The Xianbei king's tent has been swallowed by the desert in the past hundred years. Xianbei fears the Han, so They dare not move south, so they can only do some looting, which is not a long-term solution."

Liu Qing paused, Qian Ying and the elders behind Qian Man all looked at Liu Qing intently, they were amazed that a Han prefect could speak words that understood Xianbei people so much.

"For the sake of long-term peace, both you and I must make concessions. I have three proposals: First, after Qianman Khan takes power, the king's tent of Xianbei will be moved away from the desert. I think this place is very suitable." Liu Qing smiled. After saying this, Qian Ying and the elders changed their complexions drastically. This move was to place the Xianbei king's tent under the power of the big Han's weapons. The reason why the big tent is far away in the desert is because they are afraid of the big man's revenge.

If he complied with this one, even if he became the king of Xianbei, he might become the king of Xianbei of a big man. Liu Qing also knew that it would be difficult for the other party to agree to this one, so Liu Qing prepared bait.

"Don't rush to be surprised. In exchange, that is, secondly, I am willing to do business with the Xianbei royal family, and exchange salt and grain for cattle, sheep and horses. Enhancement." Liu Qing continued, this was also planned from the beginning, Liu Qing is still sure about doing business, and this one, he is sure that the other party cannot refuse.

Xianbei people value strength. Although Qianman is a khan in name, the leader still has the support of most tribes. If the Xianbei royal family can obtain strategic materials such as salt and grain during trade in the future, its status will change. It was unshakable, with this bait, she should have thought about the issue of moving the king's account to the south.

Even in the Han Dynasty, salt and grain are important strategic materials. Liu Qing is willing to throw heavy bait, so he naturally has follow-up plans. The right to trade is in his hands, and he only trades with the royal family. Contain the royal family.

"Third, in order to facilitate the trade between the two countries and to show the sincerity of the county guard, I want to make Qiangyin County a free trade county. Any Xianbei people who have obtained permission can go to do business. The condition is that they must know Chinese characters. In Chinese, the currency used must be Chinese baht, and if the transaction is successful, taxes must be paid according to the law."

Qian Ying was thoughtful, she could still understand Liu Qing's intentions for the first two items, but what is the purpose of the third item?
With her current vision, she naturally can't see through it. Isn't it natural to use Chinese baht to pay taxes when doing business in Han areas?

Words carry culture, and behind economic activities are the characteristics of civilization. What Liu Qing wants is to pass on the Han culture, living habits, and currency system to Xianbei. To put it bluntly, it is Sinicization of Xianbei.

Qian Ying didn't feel anything wrong, and asked, "Just three points?"

Liu Qing nodded.

"The matter is of great importance, can you allow me to discuss with the elders?"

"Of course." Liu Qing smiled.

Qian Ying and Qian Man chatted with the elders behind them.

"My lord, do you want to promote Wanghua in Xianbei?" Guo Jia asked in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Feng Xiaogao looked at me. This matter is at most an opening. Even if it is for business, my original intention is only war horses and profit-making." Liu Qing laughed. As for Wanghua or not, after five or ten years, it will be I can see the clues.

It is the general trend for Xianbei to merge with Han. Instead of waiting for the world to be chaotic and blending with blood and fire, it is better to conduct pilot projects first and merge in a peaceful way.

"My lord, if you want to speak up, you might as well open it up a bit." Guo Jia said with a meaningful smile.

"What do you mean by filial piety?"

"Intermarriage, and the lord can set an example first." Guo Jia said, looking at Qian Ying, "marriage has been an important means since ancient times, the lord should not say that you can't."

Liu Qing followed Guo Jia's eyes to look at Qian Ying, and stayed for a while longer at the warped place.

After the discussion between the siblings and the elder, Qian Ying's expressions relaxed, and Qian Ying looked back at Liu Qing with a relaxed expression.

Qian Ying, who was the translator, relayed: "I have already discussed with my younger brother and the elders of the clan about Mr. Liu's proposal. On the day when Khan returns to the big tent..."

"Wait!" Guo Jia interrupted Qian Ying suddenly, and said with a smile: "Princess, let me add another one, but don't worry, this proposal is a great thing for Xianbei!"

Guo Jia said that it was a good thing for Qian Ying to hear it, and immediately changed from annoyed by the interruption to curiosity, and chose to listen to it.

"My proposal is, to celebrate Qianman Khan regaining the throne, to celebrate the long-term peace between the two countries, and to promote the friendship between the two peoples, intermarriage can be released. My lord is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, a nephew of the late emperor. , flatten the yellow scarf, cut off the horns, defeat the leader, seal the border and pay homage to the prince, and the princess Qianying is a hero and a beauty. It is made in heaven and earth. It should be a model for the establishment of the two countries and a witness of friendship!"

At Guo Jia's words, the audience froze.

Especially the Xianbei side, who had already agreed to this matter, Guo Jia's words were interrupted by Qianying, so she had to look at the many elders. If it was about the affairs of the clan, she, the acting adult, still had the right to speak. she didn't.

According to Xianbei's rules, the elders have the full power to decide the marriage of clan girls.

Several elders looked at each other for a while, communicating in Xianbei dialect.

"The clan members of the Han Dynasty are the best match in terms of status, but it's a pity that the official position is a little smaller."

"No, look at him at this age, if he can be the prefect and defeat the leader, he will become a great weapon in the future. Our department has declined to this point, and we really need foreign help!"

"I agree, if we want to cooperate with Han, we should cooperate more deeply!"

Finally, several people looked at the oldest one. His face was full of wrinkles and tattoos. His eyes were closed from beginning to end. He said leisurely and tremblingly: "I feel that there is an emperor in the big tent."

The other elders were horrified, saying that the emperor is angry, except for the clan relatives of the Han Dynasty, who else can there be.The emperor is angry, wouldn't it be... the elder can say that, and he obviously agrees, and Xianbei believes in this very much.

They all looked at Qianying, expressed their agreement, asked him to convert it into Chinese, and told Liu Qing.

When Qianying heard this, her complexion changed slightly, and her wheat-colored skin turned slightly red, because she was the one who was going to marry!
"We agree, but only after it's done!"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Okay! This matter is finalized! Please select some people who are familiar with the terrain and can speak Chinese from the princess. My lord will leave immediately. In addition, the Xianbei royal family can also make preparations to take over all the chief tribes. !"

"Leave immediately?" Qian Ying was greatly surprised, "This battle must be a big one, how can we be unprepared?"

"The princess is absurd, there are too many people, as long as you gather your troops, the leader will call the army, do you believe it?"

Qian Ying pondered for a while, and felt that Guo Jia's words were very reasonable.

"Then I will personally lead my troops and follow you to the expedition!"

Liu Qing and Guo Jia nodded.

the other side.

The leader returned to the north in a state of embarrassment, and ran for several hours in a row. The grassland was so empty that in no man's land, even if he ran for a day, he would not meet anyone.

The desertification of the grassland here has been extremely serious, thousands of war horses are gnawing on the sparse turf, while the leader and his party are lying powerlessly on the ground.

"My lord, why didn't you go back to the big tent, but headed west?" the head deputy commander was puzzled.

"One more day, we will reach the Suotou tribe. In the past, my grandfather, Tanshihuai, allied with the various tribes, gave Suotou a lot of favors. I want to form an alliance with him and attack the Han!" Kuitou said angrily.

"But my lord, we only have a thousand people now."

"Joke, if I want to attack the Han, how can I not make preparations early? When I entered Yanmen, I took advantage of the emptiness. , when I unite with Suotou, we will meet up!" Kuitou's tired face showed a trace of complacency.

"Your Excellency's use of troops is fascinating, and he has the demeanor of his grandfather Tan Shihuai!" the deputy commander praised.

Kuitou looked at the sky that was getting dark, and ordered: "Go a little further and find a place with a leeward wind for the night!"

The next day, Liu Qing and his entourage continued to chase after the leader's escape. With Qian Ying joining, she had many tracking experts under her tent. However, the original northward escape route gradually turned westward.

"My lord, the direction seems to have changed. The leader did not return to the big tent, but went west." Tracker Hui reported.

"Kuitou has gone to the west. One day to the west, it is the Suotou clan." Qian Ying turned to Liu Qing and said.

Suotou family?It sounds like a tribe of cannibals, Liu Qing thought.

"Suotou is also a tribe that supports the leader?"

"No, Suotou and our tribe are in an alliance, but after my father and Lian died, the tribal alliance disappeared." Qian Ying said.

"So Kuitou contacted Suotou again, so we have one more opponent." Guo Jia said.

Qianying shook his head, "Tuoba's neighbor Suotou has always pursued neutrality. Even in the time of my grandfather Tan Shihuai, he didn't take part in the war very much. He was mostly in charge of logistics, so the leader may not be able to convince him, but His son, Tuoba Jiefen, is mediocre in strength, but not small in ambition."

Tuoba?Liu Qing is familiar with this surname. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuobahong, it seems that the Suotou clan is the ancestor of Tuobahong.

"My lord, Kuitou suffered a disastrous defeat. He didn't want to go back to the big account, but contacted his department, fearing that he might make other arrangements." Guo Jia turned to ask Qian Ying, "Has there been any changes in the team of Kuitou's troops in the near future?"

"I haven't heard of any changes in other tribes. I only know that his younger brother Fu Luohan led tens of thousands of troops and left the tent a few days ago to go south."

"Which direction?"

"Probably in the direction of Wuyuan County."

Guo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up, "My lord, if this is true, the leader will personally lead thousands of people to attack Yanmen, and tens of thousands of troops will attack Wuyuan. This is a plan to attack the east and west! So, the leader wants to persuade Suotou, Either joining the war, or supplying supplies, it all makes sense!"

"This matter should be reported to Wuyuan County as soon as possible..." Liu Qing suddenly thought that the governor of Wuyuan County is Wang Zhi, the younger brother of the enemy, "No matter what, send the news first, if Wuyuan is lost, people will die. "

"My lord, this is a great opportunity from heaven! If the leader escapes back to the central tent, it will take some effort to kill him. If he doesn't return, he will surely die!" Guo Jia turned to Qian Ying and said, "Princess, help Luo Han's troops You can send people to watch the movement, our army will immediately turn north and attack the central tent! Princess, you can welcome Khan Qianman back to the central tent!"

Qianying thinks over and over again, as Guo Jia said, if the leader is not in the middle tent, it is indeed a good opportunity to regain the middle tent, but if the leader leads an army to attack back, she and Qianman will not be able to defend, so she is hesitating.

"Princess, don't worry. If the chief head goes south, he can live for a few more days. If he returns to the north, my lord will behead him personally as a betrothal gift!" Guo Jia laughed.

Two red clouds floated on Qian Ying's face again, she glanced at Liu Qing embarrassedly, and said softly: "Then listen to the military division's arrangement!"

"Very good, very good! My lord also listens to me!" Guo Jia smiled, and turned to Liu Qing again, "My lord, you can ask Zilong to help Qianman regain the middle tent, and then go to the southwest to meet him. My lord and princess..."

When talking about this title, Guo Jia paused, "Take the bodyguards and bow cavalry to continue chasing the leader, and don't let his alliance succeed. Princess, I don't know Qianman Khan, so you dare to conquer yourself?"

"My younger brother has been good at bowing horses since he was a child. Why don't you dare, I will send a letter immediately, and Yi Qianman will lead the troops from the headquarters to conquer the account!"

"So, all ministries are going according to plan, princess, please lead the way and continue to chase the leader."

Qian Ying nodded and signaled his subordinates to continue the pursuit, but he began to mutter in his heart. He had seen Liu Qing's army, and he had no doubts about its combat effectiveness. Are you sure?

After judging the leader's destination, the pursuit speed was also much faster. Half a day later, the tracker stepped forward and reported, "Princess, these traces are all new, and the leader has not gone far!"

Qian Ying was overjoyed, there was still some distance to the Suotou tribe, if he could catch up, it would be easy to kill the leader, once the leader died, his two younger brothers could split the power, so Qianman could After securing the position of Khan, Qian Ying immediately told Liu Qing.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing immediately ordered to speed up the pursuit.

After chasing to the west of the sun, finally, a group of people in front appeared in the eyes of everyone. Without saying a word, Liu Qing directly rode the horse and drove to full speed.

The leader walked ahead, and the cavalry behind suddenly stepped forward to report: "My lord, an unknown cavalry is found behind!"

The leader who was originally lax suddenly rang the alarm, "Quickly withdraw, the front is the Suotou family!"

The leader didn't run very far, when he saw a young man approaching from the opposite side.

"It's the little leader!" The leader was overjoyed, and recognized the leader, it was Tuoba Jiefen.

Tuoba Jiefen heard that thousands of cavalry had broken into the tribal territory, so he personally led a thousand of them to drive them away. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was the leader who was in the limelight on the grassland.

It's just that he looks like this, but he is very embarrassed.

"Master Kuitou!" Tuoba Jiefen responded, "Why is your lord so embarrassed?"

"Little leader Tuoba, stop the pursuers for me!" Kuitou said anxiously, because the opponent was already very close.

Seeing the leader begging himself, Tuoba Jiefen was proud for a while.

"Don't worry, my lord, don't forget, this place is Suotou's territory!"

Tuoba Jiefen turned to look at Liu Qing who had stopped, and shouted: "Does anyone who comes here know that this is Suotou's territory? If you invade my Suotou's territory, you will leave your head behind!"
