The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 214 The Lobbyist
There is nothing special about Yu Hong's king's tent compared with ordinary herdsmen's felt bags. If no one leads them, it is difficult to find Yu Hong's king's tent from the outside.This is also Yu Hong's very cautious way of protecting himself. If it is too obvious, the enemy will stare at Wang Zhang and attack him at the first sight, and it is easy to be beheaded by someone.

In the king's tent, only Xue Wanche and Yu Hong were sitting, and at this time Xue Wanche was devouring food.

Yu Hong, on the other hand, was thinking about the conditions Xue Wanche offered to move his family to the south.It's just that he knew that the road to the south would be full of difficulties. If he was not careful, the whole family might die on the way. After the clan, the Rouran Khanate has become a thing of the past, and the only one, not to mention the war, is difficult even to survive under the suppression of the Turks.If you don't leave, Rouran will have a hard time even this winter, and those who survived can only linger on their last days and wait for their extinction.

There are only two choices in front of Yu Hong, one is to hold back and wait for death, and the other is to gamble vigorously. If he wins the bet, Rouran will not say that he will be brilliant again, but it will not be a problem to inherit it.

Now that Jieli Khan has suffered a disastrous defeat on the front line and has suffered disasters in the rear, if he continues to force his troops, he will only be betrayed by all the ministries. Now is definitely a good opportunity for Rouran to go south.If you miss it, there will be no second time.

After thinking about it, Yu Hong felt that Xue Wanche's suggestion was fatally attractive to Rouran, because they had no choice.But Yu Hong was also worried, because Xue Wanche was speaking from a family and could not represent the Sui Dynasty, let alone Yang Tong.

If their whole family migrates northward, there is still a glimmer of life. If they run to the south eagerly, but get rejected, then it will be a desperate situation with no way out and chasing soldiers behind!
Xue Wanche also knew that he was not enough, but he sat in his seat and was not in a hurry. Although his situation was not good, he could afford to wait for this time!
My group committed a lot of blood debts on the grassland, and the Turkic people themselves hated it to the bone. If the Turks were killed, the unlucky ones would definitely not be my group, but Rouran who accepted her entry.

As long as Jieli Khan sets the name of collaborating with the enemy, Rouran will be wiped out.

"I have three questions. First, how can General Xue ensure that you can lead everyone back to the Central Plains?"

After a long time, Yu Hong raised his head to look at Xue Wanche. In the silent tent, Yu Hong could feel his heartbeat become abnormal.No wonder he was uneasy. No matter how few Turkic people were, there were still tens of thousands of people left in each tribe, and Xue Wanche only brought less than 2000 troops. Even with Rouran's 8000 warriors, the total would only be [-]. It's okay, but if they lose, Xue Wanche can pat his ass and leave, and Rouran will be the unlucky one.

Yu Hong also knew that if he didn't go with Xue Wanche, the Turkic people would destroy Rouran sooner or later. If he followed, maybe the tribe could reproduce safely, but Yu Hong was not a gambler, because one of his decisions was related to the interests of the entire tribe. Life and death.

"I can't prove anything that hasn't happened. I can lead more than 1000 brothers to break through the siege, which proves that Xue Wanche can do it." Xue Wanche shook his head and looked at Yu Hong seriously: "Rou Ran If you stay here, you will be killed by the Turks; if Rouran migrates to the unknown north, your future will be unpredictable! But going south is the safest, because the only enemy is Ba Yegu, who was maimed by His Royal Highness Qin Wang and the others. , as long as this Tiele tribe is destroyed, there will be a vast world! There will definitely be casualties in the war, but it will definitely not lead to the extermination of the Rouran tribe!"

A well-regulated and long migration will kill people, let alone enemies?Therefore, Xue Wanche didn't have any big or false words that did not harm anyone, which would appear hypocritical.

There was another dead silence!
"Wars won't kill people! I know that!" After hearing Xue Wanche's words, Yu Hong became more at ease. "Second question, can General Xue guarantee that King Sui and Qin will accept us?"

"This is not a problem. The Great Sui Dynasty treats all friendly tribes well. The faraway ones include the Yi people, and the nearer ones include the southern Turkic Khan and the millet mogul. These three major forces either attached to the Great Sui Dynasty or accepted the Great Sui Dynasty Sui's canon!"

"The third question." After speaking, Yu Hong stopped procrastinating: "I also have a heart for the Sui Dynasty, but my grandfather An Luochen voted for the Northern Qi Dynasty and was resettled in Mayi. The Han officials at that time were very concerned. Greed, only knowing about excessive demands, has caused our people to live in poverty. My grandfather led his people to flee here, but they were suppressed by the Northern Qi, and then surrounded by the Turks, and they were almost destroyed. Therefore, I would like to ask General Xue, if I, Rouran, are willing to submit, how will King Sui and Qin arrange for our [-] Rouran people."

Yu Hong admired Sinology, but as a prairie person, he couldn't change his straightforward nature. If he were a Han official, he wouldn't be so straightforward.

Xue Wanche laughed and said, "The chief speaks quickly, and I won't go around in circles with the chief anymore. Let's just talk about our management methods for the Qi people."

"But I don't know how the King of Sui and Qin managed the Qi clan?" After Yu Hong finished speaking, he looked at Xue Wanche very seriously.

"At the time when the Qi people were attached, His Highness had discussed the management method with Wenwu. His Highness thought that if the Han people managed the Qi people, there would inevitably be many conflicts, so that the interests of the people of the Qi people could not be guaranteed. This is actually not to blame for the system. In the early years, I The Sui court also sincerely accepted Mohe, Tuyuhun, and Qiang people, but when the decree was issued to the local area, it was misinterpreted by officials, which changed the taste, and the differences in living habits, customs, religious beliefs and other issues would lead to conflicts The increase is increasing day by day, and if there is exploitation by unjust officials again, the total conflict will erupt out of control. Therefore, this is actually a problem caused by officials. Logically speaking, it cannot be blamed on the court! Because the court Now that you have accepted the other party, you must wish the other party well."

"Therefore, the county magistrates, county magistrates, and village talents who settled the Miao people were all selected from among the Miao people. In principle, they were ruled by the Miao people. Turkic people or Khitan people are equal in status to Han people. Free intermarriage between the two races is allowed, children can go to school, and young adults can also join the army. Military pay and various treatment are the same as Han people. In addition, the Ministry of Industry sent craftsmen to instruct the people of the Qi people to use farm tools and farming methods. It also sent special personnel to evaluate the goods of the people of the Qi people, so as to prevent the simple people of the Qi people from Be deceived by merchants in Montenegro! This is not only our policy towards the Qi people, but also the basic policy towards all ethnic groups under our rule.”

Yu Hong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked, "But I don't know, what price will I have to pay?"

There is no free lunch in the world. As the head of the clan, Yu Hong will naturally not be lost by the beautiful blueprint drawn by the other party. He has always believed in the saying of the Han people: If you take in advance, you must give in advance!

"Of course." Xue Wanche nodded and said: "Each ethnic group enjoys the same status as the Han people, so they naturally have to abide by their basic obligations. First of all, every clause of the laws of the Sui Dynasty must be abided by, and people's lives cannot be ignored just because of their own customs. , no matter what nationality the people are, they must bear considerable punishment; secondly, all military power belongs to the imperial court, and no nationality or family can keep private troops!"

"As a member of the imperial court, you should abide by the rules and the law!" Yu Hong was completely relieved, hesitated a little, and said: "I am not the only one who can decide this matter, and I need the consent of other leaders. Please also ask Xue The general stays here for a few days."

"Naturally." Xue Wanche nodded, and said, "But I'm worried that the Turkic army is coming soon, the sooner a decision is made, the better."

Xue Wanche didn't know how the war between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks was going. Even if he knew, he couldn't do anything about it. The most important thing he needed to do was to take the survivors of the Sui Dynasty back home safely.Now the Turks are searching everywhere for their whereabouts, so every bit of time is precious to Xue Wanche!And after talking so much with Yu Hong, he naturally wanted to use the strength of the other party to allow him and more than a thousand soldiers of the Sui Dynasty to return home victoriously.

"I understand!" Yu Hong also knew that time was running out. Seeing that Xue Wanche was also very sleepy, he ordered him to arrange with the Sui army, and immediately called the leaders to discuss.

When Xue Wanche woke up, it was already the next morning. He washed his face and was refreshed. He felt that his body had returned to its heyday, and even felt a breakthrough. This discovery made him extremely excited.

After breakfast, Yu Hong brought back the good news. After discussing with each other, the little chiefs of Rouran all agreed to join the Sui Dynasty. For them, this was the best and only way out.

After Yu Hong finished talking about the Rouran clan's decision, he asked Xue Wanche, "Where does the general plan to start?"

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xue Wanche's mouth: "Ba Yegu."

It doesn't matter who the chief of Bayegu is, but Xue Wanche knows that Bayegu was beaten and disabled by Yang Tong at the beginning of the year, and the most important thing is that the servant bone closest to Bayegu was also disabled. , the servants who are terrified of the Sui army will inevitably back away when they don't know how many troops they have. As long as they cross the Kerelun River safely, it will be a blank area emptied by Yang Tong.

"Ba Yegu?" Yu Hong looked at Xue Wanche in astonishment: "I wonder when the general plans to send troops?"

"The sooner the better, it's best to go out today!" Xue Wanche said decisively.

"This..." Yu Hong hesitated: "Our warriors can gather at any time, but the strong men under the general's command may not be able to hold on..."

More than 1000 people under Xue Wanche's command have not had a good night's sleep in more than half a month, but only rested overnight. Yu Hong is very worried about whether they can continue to fight, not to mention the soldiers under his command, even Xue Wanche, who looks haggard now .

"Chief, don't worry, it's about our dignity, and our soldiers will never back down." Xue Wanche stood up, his tone sonorous.
