Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 219 Family Letter
Sabolo Khan himself said that he wanted to see Yang Guang. The two of them thought that he had changed his mind. Unexpectedly, the first time they met Yang Guang, Sabolo Khan said: "My old troops are scattered, and not one of them is The young master should have run back to my big tent in the royal court. There will definitely be chaos in my absence. Since you want me to surrender, help me send a message to calm down the chaos in the big tent in the royal court."

Looking at Sabolo Khan who was negotiating terms with him, Yang Shuang smiled disdainfully. He now looked down upon the enemy in front of him more and more: "Whether you surrender or not, actually has little to do with us. I can take him with you at any time." The army will go straight to your royal tent and wipe out the remaining party."

Facing Yang Shuang's strength, Shabolue Khan, the defeated general, was full of dissatisfaction and anger.

Yang Guang pulled Yang Shuang aside and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry. Although his conditions are unreasonable, he means that he is here to negotiate terms of surrender. He is just here to push for surrender conditions."

After Yang Shuang thought about it, he realized that his mind was not as sharp as Yang Guang's on these matters, so he kept silent and waited aside.

Yang Guang turned back to Sabolo Khan and said: "We do not intend to interfere in the internal affairs of the Turks. If there is a fight between your old tribe and other nobles, and the remaining Turkic forces fall apart, it will be of great benefit to us in the Sui Dynasty. .”

When Sabolo Khan heard what Yang Guang said, his face showed anger: "Once our Turkic warriors recover, we will definitely dominate you in the Central Plains again."

Yang Guang patted his hand lightly on the seat, and said with a hint of mocking appreciation: "Shabolu Khan is really outstanding in his style. Even though he was a captive of the defeated army, he still had a loud and clear voice in the formation."

Faced with Yang Guang's ridicule, Sabolo Khan was speechless, and his face turned red with anger.

"Khan, you seem to have made a mistake. You are not qualified to negotiate terms with us. We are treating you politely now, not because we are afraid of the Turks' counterattack, nor because we are asking for anything from you, but because Sui Dynasty is giving you a It's just an opportunity. If you think you have the capital to negotiate terms with us now, I advise you to put aside such thoughts, otherwise you are just irritating me and King Wei, and we may change our minds one day."

This naked threat made Sabolo Khan hate and fear him, but now he was a prisoner and had no ability to resist.

"I will return to the capital soon. If you can make a decision within this period of time, you may not need to go back to the capital with me. If you can't make a decision, I will take you back to the capital. The capital is a long way away, and I will take you captive. If you go, I’m afraid you won’t be able to return to the grassland in this life.”

"Wait, help me write a letter to my mother."

Yang Guang smiled: "Go and ask someone to bring you pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a letter home to Shabolu Khan."

What people care about most is definitely their own lives.

At this time, the person he could trust the most was his mother, so he wrote a letter home to his mother. In the letter, he wrote that he was now treated like a distinguished guest by King Jin and King Wei of Sui Dynasty, and he could return to the grassland after a while if nothing unexpected happened. , there is no need to worry, and now I have a good relationship with Sui Dynasty, and I intend to form a friendly alliance. Anyway, it seems that I am not being captured but coming here as a guest.

When Yang Guang thought about it, this seemed a bit similar to Zhu Qizhen in the Ming Dynasty, which was euphemistically called Beishou.

Finally, he asked his mother to send someone to discuss the alliance with the Sui Dynasty as soon as possible, and he was willing to honor the Sui Emperor as the Sage Khan and let his sister marry the King of Jin.

It all seemed fine at first, but why did he say such a sentence in the end? Yang Guang immediately said: "Shabolu Khan, what does this mean? This family letter is inappropriate."

This time it was Sabolo Khan's turn to look at Yang Guang in confusion. A closer look at the contents of his family letter showed that his mother sent an envoy to declare surrender to the Sui Dynasty. He just expressed it slightly inappropriately for his own sake. It's more obvious, why aren't you satisfied with this?

Do you really have to kneel down and kowtow to them step by step?
"His Royal Highness King Jin, please don't bully others too much."

Obviously the two people are not focusing on the same thing. What Yang Guang couldn't say is why he asked his sister to marry Prince Jin in the end?

In Sabolo Khan's view, marriage is a part of surrender, and it is also one of the most commonly used diplomatic methods in this era. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Moreover, who can refuse to give away a wife for free?
Yang Guang is very concerned about this matter. He said that the daughter of the Yang family is not getting married, and now he has indeed done it, but why did the marriage fall on him inexplicably?
"Shabolu Khan, please remove the last marriage clause. There is no need to establish a relationship between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty through marriage."

Sabolo Khan looked at Yang Guang in surprise, thinking, can anyone really refuse a woman who comes to his door?

No, absolutely impossible. Even if he himself is not good at beauty, as a man who understands justice and has a vision of the overall situation, he should know what marriage means. Not accepting the marriage at this time may be out of favor, but it is more likely that it is other reasons. The heart is just not satisfied.

Sabolo Khan's eyes became colder and he said: "Your Highness, King Jin, I only have two sisters, and one of them is still young. If His Highness dislikes having only one sister, he will wait until the other sister grows up before sending him to the Sui Dynasty. "

Damn, how did you learn reading comprehension?

A somewhat embarrassed Yang Guang said: "I didn't mean that. I don't like the marriage policy."

"If your highness is worried about my sister's appearance, you don't have to worry. She follows my mother and is the most beautiful woman in the grassland. Moreover, she has been riding horses since she was a child. She is beautiful and her skills are no worse than those of men. She is especially good at riding and shooting, even though she is only 14 years old. , There is a long queue of people who want to marry her on the grassland."

"That's not what it meant either."

The two of them couldn't reach the same point in their conversation.

At this time, Yang Shuang reached out and patted Yang Guang on the shoulder: "Shabolu Khan is sincere enough. This is enough."

Yang Guang looked at Yang Shuang in confusion and realized that Yang Guang thought that what he just said was just to continue bargaining, but in Yang Shuang's view, surrender, tribute, and marriage with a woman were already the limit of the Turks. At this time, he signaled Yang Guang not to continue bargaining.

And in Yang Shuang's view, the marriage was indeed sincere, and few Turkic women came to the Sui Dynasty for marriage.

Seeing Yang Shuang's misunderstanding, Yang Guang pulled Yang Shuang outside alone and whispered: "Uncle Wang, I have no other intentions. I don't want to get married to a Turkic woman." "Why?"

"I told you that my daughter from the Yang family is not getting married."

"Yes, you are not a daughter."

"Tsk, you can't understand it that way. Besides, Turkic people are very fierce. Turkic women must be like tigresses. I don't want to marry a tigress home."

Yang Shuang smiled: "Haha, you can rest assured about this. I have met many Turkic women. Although Turkic women appear to be fierce, in fact, most of them are housekeepers, because men have to fight outside and they have to rely on women at home, so they are all proficient in doing things. You can take care of your children and make clothes, and besides, you are the king of the Sui and Jin Dynasties, how can you let a foreign woman come to marry you?"

"This matter has been settled. If the news is sent back to Daxing City, the emperor and the queen will not object if they learn about it."

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!"

Yang Shuang decided at this time and asked the cavalry to take Shabolu Khan's family letter and send it to the Turks.

After returning to his residence, Yang Guang felt helpless. Yuan Tiantian smiled: "Your Highness, why should you be worried? This may be what is destined to happen. Just think of it as doing this for the Sui Dynasty."

"Hey, all I can think about right now is an image of a laughing Turkic woman riding a big horse and holding a machete. What if she is taller and stronger than me? It's really better to let Sha. Bolue Khan gave me his youngest sister, and I took her back to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to raise her as a younger sister. She grew up in the Sui Dynasty, which is worse than the fierce Turkic women."

"Your Highness, you'd better let that little three or five-year-old baby go."

"I didn't really say what I wanted. I just think it's much better than a Turkish female warrior on horseback."

Yuan Tiantian comforted him and said: "There is nothing wrong with your highness's Turkic female warrior who is good at riding and shooting. At least she has the ability to ride and shoot. On the contrary, she can teach the future princes in the house and become an extra martial arts master."

"Hey!"

……

It was a rare rain in the grassland. The cavalry of the Sui Dynasty rushed thousands of miles to the place where Shabolu Khan's royal tent was. If Shabolu Khan had not guided the way, it would have taken a lot of effort to find this place. With great strength, the Sui army did not have a map of the Turks.

The Turks, who were already in a haze, saw the Sui Dynasty cavalry and were on alert, preparing to kill the enemy.

But an old woman stopped them: "The Sui Dynasty people will not just send twenty cavalry to charge into the battle."

After talking, the old woman found out that Sui Jun was here to send a letter home, and that she was the mother of Sabolo Khan.

She was worried that there was no hope of rescuing Sabolo Khan. At this time, she received a letter from home and summoned many generals to discuss the matter.

When the generals learned that Sabolo Khan wanted to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, they immediately exploded. Many people disagreed, but many people agreed. Both sides had their own reasons, and there was no result until the sun went down.

Princess Qianjin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the one who opposed the most fiercely, but she was just a foreign woman and her right to speak was very limited.

When it got dark, the old woman asked everyone to disperse first and summoned her daughter alone.

It was a smart and pretty girl. The old woman was combing her hair under the candlelight, and the girl looked sad.

"Hasayaqi, what do you think of Sui Dynasty?"

"Mother, are they telling the truth? I am going to be sent to Sui Dynasty to marry into their royal family?"

The girl's plaintive voice made the old mother feel distressed, but the old woman lamented: "If your brother doesn't come back, we can live a good life for a few days now. When the internal quarrel breaks out, I will have to succumb to one of them." , maybe it’s not a bad thing for you to marry to the Central Plains.”

"Mother, I don't want to go. Legend has it that people in the Central Plains are very bad."

Caressing her daughter's long hair, the old woman said: "People, you have to see things with your own eyes to believe it. We women cannot decide our own destiny."

"Mother, I..."

"Hasayaqi, your husband is a great man. You have to be more careful in everything from now on."

After saying that, he patted Hasayaqi's miraculous buttocks and said: "Give birth to a son earlier. As long as you give birth to a son in the Central Plains, even if you are a Turk, your life will not be bad."
