Dugu Jing knew Yu Wenjing when he was very young. At that time, he was still a half-grown child. His brother taught him how to train horses in the snowy fields. His father came to his elder brother to discuss the war. He mentioned that great changes had occurred in the Yuwen Dynasty. The border vassal king was about to ascend the throne and become the next Emperor Yuwen, and they received a letter from the vassal prince Yu Wenjing, hoping to discuss cooperation with them.

It was very difficult for the Northern Barbarians to communicate with Ningzhou back then. The vassal prince, later the crown prince Yu Wenjing, was able to pass through the blockade of Ningzhou cavalry and send the message to the Northern Barbarians. His method was extraordinary.Dugu Jing was too young back then, so the Northern Barbarian King and his brother talked about the war in front of him without any scruples. Dugu Jing listened and realized that the Northern Barbarian King was not interested in cooperation, so the matter was left alone until his brother grew up. As an adult, after gradually gaining a foothold, he contacted Yu Wenjing again privately, and Beiman and Yu Wenjing also negotiated a cooperation.

The Northern Barbarians initially hoped that Yu Wenjing could bring them the defense map and strategic plan of the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry. Unfortunately, although the Yuwen royal family placed spies in the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry, they were mostly looking for news about the war and could not touch the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry. In the handsome tent, there was no defense plan.

At that time, Dugu Jing despised Yu Wenjing. The prince of a powerful country was helpless against his border troops. He couldn't even get a defense map. It can be seen that the military power of the Yuwen Dynasty was falling apart. If the Zhenbei Hou Mansion wanted to bring the emperor to order the princes, it would not be possible. The difficult thing is that the focus of the Northern Barbarians should be the Ningzhou Cavalry, not the Yuwen Dynasty.

As long as everyone in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is dead, the Yuwen Dynasty will not be able to withstand the Northern Barbarians' cavalry.

Unfortunately, the Marquis of Zhenbei, Xie Zhang, and Xie Jue joined forces and instead killed the Northern Barbarian King and several Northern Barbarian princes. Frequently, even if he could not obtain the border defense map, the Northern Barbarians hoped that Yu Wenjing would kill the entire clan of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wenjing agreed.

Although Dugu Jing was not weak that year, he had already begun to stand out on the battlefield. When Yu Wenjing agreed to cooperate with the Northern Barbarians in killing the entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Dugu Jing felt that the prince was not very smart.

The military power has indeed fallen to the side, but the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is the center of power of the Ningzhou Cavalry and the largest line of defense on the border. As a prince, he destroyed the Great Wall himself. This is either stupid or vicious.

It wasn't until Dugujing brought the red sand mine to Kyoto, met Yuwenjing, and dealt with him that Dugujing realized that Yuwenjing was not stupid, he was just vicious.

There was civil strife in Yanyang, and Dugu Jing couldn't get what he wanted, so he sat on the sidelines and watched the fire from across the bank, watching Yu Wenjing almost wipe out the entire clan of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Knowing that Yanyang was in civil strife and split into two, Dugujing wanted to tear up the peace treaty and send troops to Ningzhou. That was the best time, the last chance for the Northern Barbarians to defeat Yanyang, but he missed it, and the Northern Barbarians were in civil strife. However, his vitality was seriously injured, giving the Ningzhou cavalry three years of breathing time. He was unwilling to let the opportunity go, and still seized the opportunity to attack. He hoped that Beiman, Sang Nan and Yu Wenjing could work together to wipe out Xie Jue. , Brother Xie Xun.

If the Northern Barbarians give up the war and live in a corner, Xie Xun will definitely send troops to the Northern Barbarians after he ascends the throne. Xie Xun will not recognize the armistice treaty again. He will definitely make the Northern Barbarians become a vassal state of Beining and obey Beining's orders forever. Finally, they occupied the northern barbarians and achieved great unification.

Dugujing was unwilling to give up his territory and people, nor did he want to obey Beining's orders for generations, so he cooperated with Yuwenjing again. Unexpectedly, just after they started, Sangnan attacked Lanzhou, and the Beibei could not withstand the charge of Ningzhou's cavalry and were defeated. They settled for the next best thing, hoping for good news from Sang Nan and Yu Wenjing, but Xie Xun ascended the throne.

Just over a month had passed. Xie Xun was seriously injured on the battlefield and had not yet recovered. He did not lead his troops to Kyoto, which was Yu Wenjing's home base. He was taken away from his own home base.

It's not stupid, what is it?
If it were him, he would have killed Xie Xun and Xie Jue three years ago and would never have allowed them to remain alive. If it was really bad, he would have laid a huge trap when Xie Xun entered the capital this time. He would never steal the chicken but lose the rice.

"Stupid!"

Dugu Jing could only lament the injustice of fate, which allowed the Northern Barbarians generation to meet a monarch like Yu Wenjing, as well as Xie Jue and Xie Xun of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

A man of letters and martial arts, he managed to survive through cracks and cracks, and he was born a traitor and actually rebelled against the Yuwen royal family.

Several generations of Zhenbei Houfu were all born as military generals and were loyal to the royal family. Only Xie Xun and Xie Jue turned against them.

Once they sit on the throne of God and control the military and political power, the Northern Barbarians will be in their pocket. The Northern Barbarians' defeat this time is really not as strong as the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry.

After their defeat a few years ago, the Ningzhou Cavalry became a nightmare in the minds of the Northern Barbarians.

Like a magic spell, he led the Northern Barbarians to several victorious battles and could arouse the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers, but he could not win a decisive victory.

When Xie Xun led his soldiers back to Ningzhou, he could not capture Ningzhou City, and Dugu Jing knew that they would be defeated.

Now that Xie Xun wants him to go to Beijing, what does he want to do?
Go back on your word, want to kill him, and take the opportunity to destroy the Northern Barbarians?

Dugu Jing was brought into the palace by Xie Xun's guards and imprisoned in the West Palace. All the concubines in the West Palace were sent out of the palace. The palace was almost empty, with no one left behind, only the maids and eunuchs.

Dugu Jing was a skilled martial artist, so Xie Xun sent Nuanyang to guard the palace with his guards. Xie Xun officially ascended the throne but did not see him in the Jinluan Palace. Dugu Jing guessed that Xie Xun would not see him for political reasons.

That's a private matter. What kind of private matter can he and Xie Xun have?
Unless it was before the formal interview, Xie Xun wanted to negotiate good terms with him.

Xie Xun came to see Dugu Jing in private without Feng Yu. He really wanted to negotiate good terms with Dugu Jing. Dugu Jing was a tough guy, and he might not be willing if he knew the truth. Moreover, he was a prisoner now. If he knew that A Yu had been infected by a poisonous insect, he would say Maybe it will drag her along to destruction.

"There is a saying in Yanyang that people should look at each other with admiration after three days of separation. You really surprise me." Dugu Jing looked at Xie Xun, who was wearing a dragon robe, with a very complicated mood. Every generation of Beiman and Zhenbei Houfu Have your own opponents.

The old Northern Barbarian King's opponent was Zhenbei Hou Xie Yuan.His brother's opponent was Xie Zhang, or Xie Jue.

It was his opponent, Xie Xun.

They were supposed to be lifelong enemies on the battlefield, and until he or Xie Xun died on the battlefield, this bloody battle and grudges would not be resolved. But now he is dragging the scarred Northern Barbarians forward with difficulty, and Xie Xun ascends the throne as emperor and commands the world. , the situation was so different that Dugu Jing was really upset and uncomfortable.

"What's the surprise? Sooner or later, I will be the emperor of Beining." Xie Xun can also understand Dugu Jing's sense of disparity. When he came to peace talks back then, he could provoke him, but now if he comes to peace talks again, he will kneel down and worship him. , "Dugu Jing, do you want to talk or fight?"

"You signed the armistice agreement with me when you were the king of Qin, but you don't want to recognize it after you become the emperor?" Dugu Jing said mockingly, "Don't you Yanyang people believe that a gentleman's promise is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold?"

"First, as you said, it's Beining, not Yanyang. Second, my father and eldest brother, who believe in a gentleman's promise, died in the hands of a villain like Yu Wenjing. I must take it as a warning. Of course, we The armistice agreement signed is partially valid, but at one time or another, the armistice treaty needs to be re-signed. After all, Yu Wenjing is dead. I can deny that armistice agreement." That agreement was beneficial to both parties, but Xie Xun didn't want to He admitted it all. He felt aggrieved when they talked about it. It was not his and his second brother's original intention. There were many treaties that he did not have to agree to with the Northern Barbarians.

"Shameless!" Dugu Jing was furious.

"Dugu Jing, if I kill you, do you think the Northern Barbarian King will raise an army to avenge you, or will he settle the matter? You are under the eaves, and I advise you to lower your head and behave like a human being." Xie Xun was not very polite to Dugu Jing. Dugu Jing belongs to Beining and Beiman, and their identities are different. What Dugujing did was the same as what his second brother did in Beiman back then. The grievances between the Beiman royal family and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion are as deep as the sea, and the grievances cannot be explained clearly. Although Xie Xun hated him, he also respected him. They were both generals who fought hard on the battlefield and were loyal to their people.

But if he wants to be a worm, he must learn negotiation skills.

"What do you want?"

"The Northern Barbarians have had armistices with us several times. As soon as you regain your strength, you will launch a large-scale attack. Although the Northern Barbarians are vast, there is not much land suitable for survival. The cold winter lasts for a long time. All the men in the tribe are soldiers, and they only rely on minerals and livestock to survive. To make a living, there is very little land that can be cultivated. There are only a few months of sowing and harvesting in spring and summer a year, and there is very little food to survive the cold winter. Therefore, the Northern Barbarians have always wanted to cross Ningzhou. You want to lead the people To live across the Shaling Tianshan Mountains, I can give you a suggestion." Xie Xun knew what Dugu Jing wanted most.

He wanted the people of the Northern Barbarians to live in a warm and fertile land, and hoped that they could get rid of the pain of living in the Northern Barbarians for generations. They loved their land deeply, but they also lamented the injustice of God. Why did the people of Yanyang They can live in beautiful mountains and rivers, but they have to suffer from the attacks of ice, snow and wind and sand for generations.

"Why, you also want to cede the three cities of Ningzhou to us like Yu Wenjing?" Dugu Jing asked with a sneer. Is it possible that Xie Xun will do the same thing as Yu Wenjing after he ascends the throne?

"Dugu Jing, the only condition for your people to cross the border of Ningzhou and come to the land of Beining is for the Northern Barbarians to surrender and submit to Beining. I am not Yu Wenjing, and I will cede the land to you. As long as the Northern Barbarians surrender The land belongs to the rule of Beining, and I promise you that we will treat everyone equally, and I will not stop the Northern Barbarians from migrating wherever they want."

"You're dreaming!" Dugu Jing was furious. Becoming a brother country was already the limit for Dugu Jing. If he surrendered, he would be the eternal enemy of the Northern Barbarians and would be forever on the pillar of shame.

Be reviled forever!
"I will never betray the Northern Barbarians in my life, lead them to surrender, and live a life of dependence on others. Don't even think about it. Xie Xun, I have fallen into your hands. Kill or behead me, it's up to you!" Dugu Jing looked forward to death and was unwilling to discuss surrender with Xie Xun.

Xie Xun also expected it, and said with a chuckle, "What you betrayed is the Northern Barbarians of this generation, but what you benefit are the Northern Barbarians of your descendants. Besides, how do you know that the Northern Barbarians are willing to live in Shaling for generations to come?" Behind the Tianshan Mountains, if you are willing, why have you raised troops for generations to cross the Tianshan Mountains and enter Beining? I will not kill you, let alone forcefully persuade you to surrender. Dugu Jing, I can even let you go free and let you live in Beining. Walk around Beining at will, and you can also take a look at the lives of the people of Beining."

Xie Xun paused and said seriously, "My second brother once lived in the Northern Barbarians for two years and wrote a [-]-word overview of the Northern Barbarians. I only read a hundred words and then threw it away. After I ascended the throne, I put this book aside. Pick it up. The second brother once said that the weather behind the Shaling Tianshan Mountains was bad. There were extreme weather phenomena of rain, snow and wind and sand in one day. Most of the land in the Northern Barbarians is not suitable for human habitation and survival. You don’t even have water sources. Relying on the melting snow of the Shaling Tianshan Mountains. Minerals are very rich, and there are also many scarce resources, but you can't cash them in at all, because these resources are more than enough to support your life, but you lack food, and food is the key to survival. I am very interested in ruling the North The barbarians are not interested in that land. After the northern barbarians surrender, they will not treat the northern barbarians as slaves. If I say treat them equally, I will treat them equally. I will give you land, houses, cattle and sheep, so that you can survive on our land. Build a common home. Who is interested in a land with constant wind, sand, rain and snow all year round? I will accommodate you. First, I hope to get the mineral resources of the Northern Barbarians. This is undeniable, so in exchange, I will give it to you. A new, warm home. Second, I don’t want Beiman and Beining to be trapped in a war forever and lose innocent lives. You have fought for so many years and killed so many people just to give them a place to stay. You can Take my advice seriously."

The anger in Dugu Jing's heart gradually died down. It was indeed not as angry as when Xie Xun first mentioned surrender. He remembered Xie Xun's impatience and forcefulness when he came to Yanyang for negotiations a few years ago.

The young Marquis back then was more forceful and had a bad temper than the current emperor. After Xie Xun became the emperor, even his aggressiveness was completely restrained and he pretended to be a mild-tempered emperor. No matter how much he disguises himself, Dugu Jing knows Xie Xun who chased him alone for thousands of miles, and also knows Xie Xun who wanted to kill him with a sword at the negotiating table.

"I don't believe you will treat the people of the Northern Barbarians kindly."

"Why don't you believe it? I didn't even kill all the members of the Yuwen royal family. I only killed Yuwenjing and the Queen Mother. I even raised his children well in Qiu Shan. When they grow up, I will make sure that they are not rebellious and will not start a war. I I will also let them go free." Xie Xun said calmly, "I have also fought for many years, and I know what it is like to resort to military violence. I have also seen soldiers die on the battlefield in their prime. I want peace, not only in Beining, but also in Beining. There are Northern Barbarians. Once you have a place to stay, there will naturally be no war, and the peace that everyone longs for will naturally be there."

"Since you want peace, why don't Beining surrender?" Dugujing sneered, "I can also say that I will treat the people of Beining well."

No matter how eloquently Xie Xun spoke or how gentle his tone was, Dugu Jing was always hostile and did not believe a word he said. Xie Xun had the right time, place and people.

The Northern Barbarians are now in decline. As long as the war in Sangnan subsides, Xie Xun can rest and recuperate for a few years before he can launch a large-scale attack and defeat the Northern Barbarians with force. What's more, come and talk to him when the situation is good.

With Xie Xun's character, he would not talk to him softly at all. He would only declare war with a strong attitude. Because he has the confidence and capital, so he must have some intention to persuade him to surrender now with good words.

During the peace talks, Xie Xun chased and killed him while riding thousands of miles away. Dugu Jing thought that it was easy for a country to change its nature, and it was impossible for Xie Xun to be so tough and sharp-edged just because he ascended the throne and became emperor.

Ascension to the throne and holding great power will only increase his arrogance and confidence, making him even more powerful. It does not mean that he will change from a murderous general to a compassionate and benevolent emperor.

"Think carefully, what you said is not funny. I, the people of Beining, have a place to live in. We are born to live in the beautiful mountains and rivers of Beining." Xie Xun is still the irritating Xie Xun, " We are lucky, we can only blame God for this, right?"
