Chapter 6 third quarter

Bimogan still looked at the fire in the distance quietly: "Brother Luo is from Donglu, but he said such a thing, is he standing on the side of Chunguo or Qingyang?" Luo Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I have never boasted in front of the majesty that I am a loyal minister and filial son, have I? Luo Ziyan is a person who wants to overthrow the political situation in the Eastern Land. I say this from the standpoint of the Chun Kingdom." Bimogan turned and looked at Luo Ziyan: "Ten years ago, Donglu's forces infiltrated the northern capital, and Chunguo and Xiatangguo offered conditions separately. In the end, my father chose Xiatangguo, and I chose Chunguo. Now Chunguo is betting The bet is right, and we are allies from now on. But I want to know, what does Liang Qiuhou want by supporting us?"

"What Chunguo wants is the same as what Xiatang wants. We want Tianqi City." Luo Ziyan said flatly. Bi Mogan's eyes flashed.Luo Ziyan was startled inexplicably, he had an illusion in a trance, there should have been a white cloud in the eyes in front of him, like a white-eyed eagle.He felt that after the night that the old majesty died, he had changed a lot from Mogan. Bi Mogan's gaze dimmed.He turned around and continued to look at the fire: "Using the conflicts between our brothers, help me become the maharaja of the northern capital, and give me the land that was originally our Pasur family, in exchange for the support of the Qingyang cavalry, so that in the eastern land Liang Qiuhou's deal is very good. But what can Qingyang get? Brother Luo, you know that the grassland in Hanzhou is very barren. If you grow food here, you can't harvest 10% of Donglu's. So we For many years, we have migrated and grazed, and lived a hard life. We got involved in the struggle of the feudal lords of the Eastern Continent and brought out our strongest cavalry, but we still only have this grassland and cattle and sheep.”

He shook his head slightly: "No wonder my father said that the enemy of the prairie people is actually not the people of the East, but ourselves." "Is there any land in the world that originally belonged to the Pasur family?" Luo Ziyan shrugged with a smile, "It's like there is no land in the world that originally belonged to Liang Qiuhou. The vastness of Kyushu is the battlefield left by God to the common people. We They are all people who think they are beasts. They are not willing to be meat in the mouth of others, but want to occupy their own territory. Only beasts will become partners with each other. If I claim to help the Maharaja completely as a friend of the Maharaja, can the Maharaja Do you believe me?"

He intoned in a low voice: "O king, you must have hatred for the enemies of your land, Meanwhile you must learn this rule from the sun, For from his throne he, While swinging his sword triumphantly, The world is illuminated by his sunshine. "① "This is a poem in the "Biography of King Xun", the lyrics of King Zungertai Khan persuading King Xun, and persuading King Xun not to show mercy to the enemy who surrendered." Bimogan said. "More than ten years ago, I was ordered by Liang Qiuhou to go to the northern capital. Before I set off, I read all the barbarian texts I could find, because I wanted to understand the things on the grassland. After so many years, I have forgotten a lot. Only this paragraph It seems to be burned in my heart. The Maharaja is more familiar with "The Legend of King Xun" than I am, do you still remember how King Xun answered?"

"King Xun said, my friend, Zungertai Khan, the lion with wings, do you advise me to protect the scorched earth with flames?" "King Zungertai Khan said, my majestic king, you hold a flaming sword in your hand. If you swing it at your enemy, your enemy will die. If you leave it, it will burn your relatives' grassland." Luo Ziyan took Bi Mogan's words, and sighed softly, "I am in Donglu, and I have heard the great way of saints and read countless books, but none of the words shocked me so much. In fact, the world is the most real The principle is also the simplest, Your Majesty, both Master Liang Qiu and you hold a flaming sword in your hands, if you don’t cut down the enemy and expand your territory, you can’t even defend your own land.”

Bi Mogan was silent. Luo Ziyan said slowly: "We don't just regard Qingyang as an ally who supports us with iron cavalry. Before I came, Liang Qiuhou asked me to explain one thing to the majesty. Those who cooperate with us must be heroes. We look forward to someone sharing the Eastern Land with us! Majesty, it's time. Iron cavalry should not only be used to guard the northern capital, but should go outside to expand the territory. I can replace Liang Qiuhou and promise to the Majesty that one day Liang Qiuhou will be stationed in Tianqi City , we will cede Donglu Prefecture as Qingyang's pasture!"

"What if I want the richest Wanzhou?" "Whatever you want!" Luo Ziyan said categorically, but smiled, "There is only Tianqi City, which cannot be ceded to the Majesty. That is where my imperial power in the Eastern Continent lies." Bi Mogan was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and nodded. He took a step forward, pointed at the people kneeling down the slope, and looked at the three nobles beside him: "These people are all sinners who tried to kill me to usurp power. Now I will deprive them of their slaves, pastures, cattle and sheep, and reward them you."

The three nobles knelt down in surprise and thanked for this amazing reward.This is all the property of the three Great Khans who were slaughtered - less than half of the population, cattle and sheep of the Qingyang tribe. Bimogan did not take it back to himself, but distributed it to the nobles who immediately declared their allegiance to him.Luo Ziyan frowned slightly, but said nothing.His original intention was that Bi Mogan should receive these things immediately in order to strengthen his own strength.But he also understands that Bimogan has no choice but to do this. These three nobles are from the three families of Talihan, Tokele, and Wochijin. These three families are second only to Lu's Pasur family in Qingyang Department The Hechao family and the Luding family, their support can quickly stabilize Bimogan's position in the northern capital, thereby deterring other tribes at the Kulig Conference.

"As for you," Bimogan looked at the sinners down the slope, "as long as you are willing to follow my banner, I will not kill you and forgive all your sins. Although you have no property, cattle and sheep, you are still nobles. From now on, you will join the army and use your military exploits to clear your name. We are all members of the Pasur family, there is no need for us to fight, and our knives should all be pointed at outsiders." The sinners did not expect that such treatment was waiting for them. There was only dark despair in their hearts, but someone suddenly opened the window and let in the sunlight.It was quiet for a while, no one dared to speak.

"Are you willing to follow my flag, listen to my orders, and follow my sword! To fight the enemy?" Bimogan suddenly raised his voice, as if roaring. The sinners were stunned for a moment, and they all bowed down.They shouted Maharaja, some grabbed the ground with their heads, and some cried.The nine kings commanding the tiger and leopard cavalry raised their swords to salute Bimogan on the hillside, but Bimogan didn't look at him, but looked at the sky, listening to the shouting voice wave after wave.The slaves knelt down, the warriors knelt down, the generals knelt down, and the envoys of the Chun Kingdom also knelt down.Finally, the Nine Kings knelt down.

"After the majesty's wedding, his heart has softened a lot, his courage has grown a lot, and his mind has widened a lot." Luo Ziyan didn't kneel down, but just smiled. "Mu Haiyang!" Bi Mogan shouted. General Mu Haiyang of the Dafeng Tent stepped out of the crowd and knelt in front of him, waiting for orders. "You take my warrant and go to the pastures in the south, pardon Xu Dahan's crimes, return his cattle, sheep and people, and allow him to return to the northern capital. You tell him that the battle between me and him is over. Yes, as long as he follows my banner, he will still be my younger brother. The news of my father’s death will not be announced for the time being. When Asule also returns, the five of us will send my father’s soul to the God of Heaven with the grandest ceremony. bliss in his palace." Luo Ziyan was taken aback, Bi Mogan didn't tell him about this in advance.He hastily stepped forward and leaned close to Bi Mogan's ear: "These two matters are of great importance, Maharaja think twice! The old majesty passed the throne in front of everyone while holding the majesty's hand, and announced that the three Great Khans were all rebellious. The Maharaja is the rightful heir. You should send envoys to announce it to the four parties immediately. To conceal the news at this time will make people think that the Majesty is not in the right place. There is nothing wrong with pardoning Xuda Khan, but I have a very important news that I have not had time to tell Maharaja..." Bimogan waved his hand, gesturing for him not to say any more: "Brother Luo, I don't want to hide from you. Xu Dahan is the most capable of my younger brothers. I am calling him back now to let him rule Beidu together with me. We are allies, but I don't want to become a puppet of the Chun Kingdom. As for the funeral, I have thought about it for a long time. After the funeral, I will announce my ascension, and the envoys from Tang Dynasty will come to the northern capital to renew the alliance. But our ally has become Chun Guo, how will Xiatang treat my younger brother at this time?" "According to Donglu's practice...one party betrays the alliance, and the hostage beheaded." Luo Ziyan said. Bi Mogan patted Luo Ziyan on the shoulder: "I know Brother Luo will say that sacrificing an Asule will bring me greater benefits. But there is no need to say anything. I once told a People have made great promises. Brother Luo, you should remember that I said that we barbarians don’t have the hard-to-buy jade like Donglu, but we have a promise that will never be exchanged!” Knowing that he couldn't shake this matter, Luo Ziyan could only sigh softly, turn his head, and look far away.There was a luxurious carriage parked there, with a brocade cover and light gauze curtains, tightly covering it.Luo Ziyan listened attentively, and there was a clear and subtle tinkling sound from behind the light gauze curtain. ----------------------------------------------- Notes: ① This poem was rewritten from the third chapter of the third part of Zhifei Ni's "The History of the World-Conqueror", a poem written by the Mongolian kings and different secrets to persuade Mengge Khan to punish the rebels.
