Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 414 Messenger

Gao Cheng couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he got the report that the Turkic envoys had come to the camp gate of the Northern Qi Dynasty, as long as Ashina Tumen can talk, and is willing to talk.

To make it clear that the soldiers and horses are going to fight is something that should be done only if there is no agreement.

Gao Cheng first ordered the soldiers in the battalion to regain their spirits, so that they must not be seen as tired.

He also ordered his cronies to summon Tie Fa and Deng Shuzi, and told them that they could not make their own opinions and had to listen in. When talking to Turks, only one voice can make the decision.

Gao Cheng's extra action is naturally taking into account the feelings of Rouran people. This negotiation must be an arrangement for Rouran. If Rouran is behind the back of the discussion with Turkic, it will inevitably be suspected of betraying the interests of Rouran people. centrifugal.

Tie Fa and Deng Shuzi expressed their understanding of Gao Cheng's concerns, and also appreciated Gao Cheng's candid attitude, and agreed to wait for the Turkic envoy to leave before discussing in detail.

After Gao Cheng made all preparations, he ordered people to welcome the Turkic envoys into the camp.

This time the Turkic envoy was not only ordered to negotiate, but also charged with the task of investigating the truth.

After entering the camp, he saw the Northern Qi soldiers full of energy along the way, so he misjudged the real situation, thinking that Gao Cheng was really ready to fight the Turks on the banks of Lishui.

The Turkic envoy greeted Gao Cheng immediately after entering the tent, not daring to be slighted.

"Exemption."

Gao Cheng raised his hand and called out, then asked knowingly:

"Your envoy is here, why?"

"The foreign ministers were ordered by the leader Ashina Tumen to come here to extend the most noble greetings to His Majesty. The Turks have been bullied by Rouran for many years. Once they resisted, what they wanted was to overthrow the tyranny. Your Majesty is the emperor of the Central Plains. And it should be mixed with China instead of setting foot in the grasslands and helping the tyrants to abuse them. If your majesty can return to the teacher, Turkic is willing to be a vassal and serve Daqi as the master, and shepherd Mobei for your majesty."

As soon as the Turkic envoy finished speaking, Tie Fa couldn't help but want to reprimand him, but Gao Cheng gave him a hard look, and then retreated.

Gao Cheng calmed down, and laughed with the Turkic envoy:
"I am not only the emperor of the Central Plains, but also the Khan who is respected by Rouran. How can I disregard his life and death? I have come here with the sincerity to resolve the grievances between the two clans. The world has heard that I don't want to fight." I don't know if the conflict between the Turks and the Heda people should be resolved for both sides?"

The Turkic envoy thumped in his heart, forced a smile and said:

"Your Majesty, don't be joking. The Turks and Heda have long had an alliance, so how can your Majesty need to resolve it?"

"Rou Ran is strong and prosperous, and Heda is friendly to his neighbors, but the Turks are so big, separated by only a mountain, how can they make Heda feel at ease? What I did was to send [-] riders to the north to meet the people of Heda. Tell the truth, and hunt with him in Jinshan."

Gao Cheng said lightly, but the Turkic envoy couldn't laugh anymore. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, changed the subject and said:
"Your Majesty, don't tease the foreign ministers anymore. Even if Jinshan has something to do, it will be difficult to take care of it overnight. Why don't you talk about the ownership of the An Luochen Department."

Gao Cheng snorted coldly and said:

"The head soldier Khan (Anahu) died in battle, and An Luochen has succeeded him as Khan, and his honor is Rouran Khan. It is up to you and me to decide whether to stay or not."

When the Turkic envoy heard this, he became energetic:

"An Luochen once said that he only wanted to escape from his subordinates and their families. The women and children who accompanied him were willing to serve the Turks. The leader has already agreed to this matter and is willing to let him go. Please don't interfere any more, Your Majesty."

Gao Cheng's face changed when he heard the words, he knew that An Luochen must have been unable to persist before he came to agree to the conditions, but what he wanted in the north was population, how could he let the Turks swallow all the women and children, and immediately turned his face and said:
"Although An Luochen has the name of Rouran Khan, his power cannot be compared with the past. Now he is trapped in a tight siege, and his life and death are even more involuntary. Without my support, he will inevitably encounter the disaster of subjugation and family destruction. How dare he be self-reliant."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tie Fa and Uncle Deng, and asked:
"What do you two think?"

Tie Fa wanted to speak a long time ago, but at this time Gao Cheng instructed him to stand up and said angrily:
"If An Luochen hadn't misrepresented the news, why would there be a failure of Huaihuang? His own name is Khan, and he has not been recognized by Tian Khan. It is still controversial. An Neng Yuezu will act on his behalf, and the people of our tribe will stay or stay!"

Uncle Deng also echoed, Gao Cheng looked at the Turkic envoy, and said indifferently:

"Your envoy has also seen it, so don't stain my ears with An Luochen's words."

The Turkic envoy secretly scolded Tie Fa as a dog's leg, what is meant by not getting Tian Khan's approval, it can't be true, when Rouran Khan's succession needs the so-called Tian Khan's approval, besides, Tian Khan, Gao Cheng has such a big face .

But in the Qi camp, he couldn't reveal his true thoughts, otherwise he might not be able to return alive.

The Turkic envoy asked for instructions:

"What do you think, Your Majesty, but please speak up."

Gao Cheng pondered for a while, and then suggested:
"The Turks released Rouran captives, and I also sent an order to withdraw the army from the West Road, so how about releasing the captive Turkic women and children?"

"Your Majesty is just joking!"

Whether the Northern Qi Dynasty sent troops to Jinshan is still a matter of debate. Gao Cheng actually talked about the women and children in the so-called Turkic lair, which made the Turkic envoy feel like a fantasy.

Gao Cheng also knew that his proposal was inappropriate, and this time he pondered seriously before proposing:

"I sent an order to withdraw the army on the West Road, and Ashina Tumen also retreated to encircle them. The two families will cease their troops here. I will not ask about what I have gained before."

Tie Fa and Deng Shuzi obviously had objections when they heard the words, but Gao Cheng glanced at them, and the two of them endured it.

The Turkic envoy was still thinking about it, Gao Cheng said calmly at the side:

"If our army has not arrived, An Luochen will be swallowed by the Turks. However, since I have come here, I will naturally not see it being swallowed. If the follow-up soldiers arrive, the real dilemma is the Tumen. The Turks and Rouran are together. The specific news of Zhan won’t be kept secret for long, even if I don’t order people to pass it on, people in Xida will know, if Atumen is willing to spend Lishui with me, I will do it.”

"Your Majesty advocates that foreign ministers dare not act independently, so they should report to the leader and ask him what he thinks."

"Let's go, Master Yao, see off the guest for me."

The Turkic envoy stopped suddenly before leaving the tent, turned around and asked:

"Does Your Majesty really know how to hunt gold mountains with the Heda people?"

Gao Cheng didn't bluff people this time, but said truthfully:
"I did order my teacher to go north, contact Heda, and want to fight the Turks together with him, but the journey is far away, so I don't know the news for the time being."

"If Your Majesty still insists that the Heda people have sent troops, the foreign ministers will not believe it."

The son of Ashina Keluo, Ashina, who was the envoy of the whole camp this time, took a picture and saluted Gao Cheng again, and left with a full heart.

"Your Majesty, why did you agree to let the Turks take away the prisoners!"

After taking the picture and leaving, Tie Fa couldn't help asking.

Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze and replied:

"The real situation of the soldiers in the army, you two should know better than me. If Yu Lishui fights with the Turkic people and loses both, and the Kumoxi people, Khitan people, and Didouyu people go west, even if you take back the women, children and livestock, And how to resist, what you should do now is to lick your wounds, recuperate, and go north with me in the future, and then demand this debt from the Turks."

Only then did Tie Fa and Deng Shuzi shut up, but in the final analysis, Gao Cheng just didn't want to fight the Turks on the grassland right now, just as the Turkic envoy said, going south was his first goal.
