Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 86

Rouran.

Northern nomads.

With the chaos of the Five Husbands, the Hu people who originally occupied the grassland entered the Central Plains, established many regimes in the north, and were continuously sinicized in the process, and their control over the grassland naturally declined.

And Rouran is the new grassland overlord after the Xiongnu and Xianbei left.

But it's a pity... this prairie overlord is a little watery.

There were the Huns before, and the Turks later.

They are all mortal enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But Rouran...

It would be nice if others didn't bully him.

Even at the peak of his life, he was hanged and beaten by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Rouran's presence is not high.

Today, a Rouran envoy came to Liu Yizhen suddenly, Liu Yizhen was also very surprised.

But accidents are accidents, and etiquette must be done well.

Facing foreign countries, Liu Yizhen represents the image of the country.

only……

"Does Master Du know the purpose of the other party's visit?"

Du Ji said with some uncertainty: "I don't know, but there is intelligence in the north that the Northern Wei Dynasty used troops against Rouran, and it must have something to do with it."

"Could it be that the other party is here to perform vertical and horizontal techniques?"

Although Rouran lives very aggrieved, she can't treat people like air.

At any rate, they are also serious nomads, and the various tribes can add up to tens of thousands of cavalry. Although this force is not enough to confront the Northern Wei Dynasty head-on, it may not be able to become the decisive factor in the world at certain times. strength.

For example, when Liu Song and the Northern Wei confront each other in the future, Rouran's presence will definitely make the Northern Wei very sour.

"The other side is mostly looking for an alliance."

In the past, the power of the Han people stopped at Jianghuai, and there was no need for Rouran to contact them.

But now the south of the Yellow River is all Han soil, and it is only natural that the two sides are closer.

"See you then."

Since Rouran took the initiative to send an envoy, it is probably not an enemy.

So under Du Ji's arrangement, Rouran envoy met Liu Yizhen as he wished.

"Chang'an Gong Gongan!"

Rouran envoy can't speak Chinese, so there is always a translator by his side.

Liu Yizhen looked at the envoy Rouran.

There are different opinions about the origin of Rouran in later generations.

Some people say they are Donghu people, some say they are Huns, some say they are Xianbei people...

In fact, they themselves don't know which tribe they are from, do they?
It's just a group of tribes on the grassland reporting groups to keep warm and herdsmen begging to survive. In their eyes, the nation and the country may not be as important as the ownership of a pasture.

"Yu Jiulu and Wu Ti were ordered by the Great Tan Khan to greet the Great Jin Emperor and the Taiwei."

Yu Jiulu Wensheng was the envoy of Rouran. His surname was Yu Jiulu, and his last name was Wu Ti.

Datan Khan, also known as Mouhan Heshenggai Khan, was the third generation of Rouran and the cousin of Shelun of the first generation.

"Yu Jiulu..."

This is Rouran's surname Wang.

Looking at the envoy Rouran, Liu Yizhen knew that this person's identity might be unusual.

After asking, I found out that Wu Ti is the son of Da Tan Shan Yu...

Good guy, this is higher status than Liu Yizhen.

Right now Liu Yu has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Yizhen is not yet a prince, but Wu Ti is the prince of Rouran.

Let the son be the messenger.

Liu Yizhen didn't know what to say about Da Tan Khan. Is this frank or cold-blooded?

Have Rouran people always been this brave?
Although I don't know how many sons Dayan has, but based on the harsh pregnancy conditions and high mortality rate on the grassland, I can definitely count them with one hand.

And now Da Tan Khan sent a son here so easily, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit out of tune.

When Wu Ti was watching Liu Yizhen, he also looked at Liu Yizhen without concealment.

Hu Xia is Rouran's old neighbor, Rouran even served as a dog for Helian Bobo's father Liu Weichen decades ago, so Wu Ti knows Hu Xia's strength (compared to Rouran) and Helian Bobo's tough.

But it was Liu Yizhen who was in his teens who actually resisted He Lianbobo, and even had his home stolen, which made Wu Ti full of curiosity and helplessness towards Liu Yizhen.

The helplessness was because he saw a boy not long ago.

That boy was about the same age as Liu Yizhen, but he was extremely ferocious. He led the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty to burn, kill and loot all the way through the grassland, and went into the grassland for hundreds of miles.

Even Wu Ti's father, Da Tan Khan, repeatedly mentioned the boy's name——

Tuoba Tao.

There is Liu Yizhen in the south and Tuoba Tao in the north.

They are all young Yingjie.

On the other hand, Rouran.

Although Wu Ti considers himself to be a leader among Rouran's younger generation, compared to these two ruthless people, Wu Ti feels inferior.

"Mr. Chang'an, Da Tan Khan sent three thousand sheep and five hundred cattle and horses as gifts to the Jin emperor and the Taiwei."

Wu Ti is very sensible.

After the emperor of Jin Dynasty, there was always a Taiwei, who invisibly pulled Liu Yizhen into the same level as him, so that Liu Yizhen could avoid embarrassment.

But Liu Yizhen obviously didn't care about these titles.

It's just that the gifts of three thousand sheep and five hundred cows and horses made him a little excited.

The diet of the Han people has always lacked meat, and mutton is a good thing for them.

In an instant, Liu Yizhen had already figured out what to do with the sheep.

All the males are slaughtered and eaten, and only a dozen or so are kept for reproduction.

Don't ask if the sheep can do it, a ram can at least complete the task with dozens of ewes, and they are fierce.

As for the cows and horses...

Cattle plow the land, horses fight.

Perfect match.

This gift is extremely precious to Liu Yizhen and Guan Zhong, and it is a huge sum of money even to Rouran.I have to say that people's attitude is already in place.

Now Liu Yizhen showed a smile on his face, and hurriedly said some polite words of "come as soon as you come, bring something".

Seeing that Liu Yizhen seemed to be in a good mood, Wu Ti hurriedly continued: "Mr. Chang'an, there is another batch of generous gifts waiting outside Guanzhong, including a thousand elite war horses."

Thousands of horses?

Liu Yi really became short of breath.

But soon he became suspicious.

If three thousand sheep and five hundred cattle and horses can be used as gifts, then the thousand horses have already risen to the level of strategic materials.

Rouran only sent these as gifts when her head was twitching, there must be something hidden in it.

Sure enough, Wu Ti's next words came out: "Actually, to tell the truth to Mr. Chang'an, there is one person in the mission who is not from our Rouran, and this gift was sent by him."

And third parties?
Liu Yizhen glanced across the Rouran Mission, and finally fixed his gaze on a big man whose face was covered by his collar.

It's summer now, this person is so tightly covered, I'm afraid that others will not know that he has a problem.

When the man heard Wu Ti mentioning him, he raised his head slowly and looked at Liu Yizhen with a half-smile.

"Duke Guiyang, do you still remember the old man?"

Seeing that person's face, Liu Yizhen frowned.

"It is you……"

"Damn Ali!"
