An Duanquan and the elders of the Wukui tribe were very excited about the original copy of the "Huaiyuan Treaty", especially the clauses for the establishment of the "Huaiyuan Treaty Yuhou Joint Headquarters". (..Read) An Duanquan
What everyone is worried about is the threat from Abaoji and other brothers. They are in charge of the Khitan elite and have been eyeing the positions of Qijin and Yueyue of the Diela tribe. Now with Yingzhou's commitment and guarantee on security issues, Brother Hua
With the approval of Elder Diela and the nobles, overwhelming the Abaoji brothers is no longer an empty talk.
Moreover, this treaty is quite equal no matter how you look at it. Most of the terms are mutual, that is, what the Yingzhou side can enjoy, and the Diela tribe can also enjoy. There are only two subtleties.
The difference is, firstly, the disposal power of Hongshang after breaking the law, and secondly, the candidates for office in the Joint Headquarters.
However, An Duanquan believes that these two differences are very practical considerations. Few people in the Khitan are willing to engage in business, so even if reciprocity is required, there is not much practical use. As for the position of Du Yuhou, it is now the camp
The state side has a strong military and the Hua brothers are at a disadvantage, so it is natural that they should respect the Yingzhou side. This is acceptable. What's more, there are still three candidate seats left for the Hua brothers in the joint headquarters, which actually makes their strength somewhat weak.
Growth. As long as the Yingzhou Army or some other Huaiyue coalition can be involved when a war really breaks out, everything will be easy.
The elders also agreed with the "Treaty of Huaiyue". The problem they considered was that now the Wukai tribe's combat power has almost disappeared, but the war with the Mohe people of the Bohai Kingdom has never stopped. Now with the protection of the joint headquarters, at least they can
It is guaranteed that before the military strength of the Wukui tribe is rebuilt, if it suffers military retaliation from the Bohai people, it will be protected by Yingzhou.
Compared with the "Treaty of Huaiyue", that secret agreement was a bit of a headache. An Duanquan and several Wu Kui ministers and elders checked it on the spot and found that the one-time compensation alone reached a huge amount of 200,000 yuan.
That's all. The cost of the joint headquarters should not be a small amount. What's more, when leaving Huaiyuan Military City, you can't bring gold and silver with you. Even the slaves of each family must be left to the other party. This loss is too great.
An Duanquan and Wu Kui ministers began to focus their discussions on the secret treaty, hoping to suffer as little loss as possible, but Gao Mingbo's dark face and categorical words immediately dashed their expectations: "Treaty
That’s it, you can’t change a single word, it’s up to you to decide whether to allow it or not!”
Looking at Gao Mingbo's fierce gaze, An Duanquan and all the elders felt guilty. An Duanquan looked at Li Simo, and Li Simo quietly spread his hands, shook his head and sighed, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
An Duanquan was helpless, and after a while he said: "Allow me to wait a few more days. After all, for such a big matter, we still need to discuss it with Fuyu City and get the approval of Yue Yue."
Gao Mingbo said with a cold face: "Give it another five days, if you don't wait until the time expires, the army will attack the city, and you will be defeated!"
Back in the Huaiyuan Army City, An Duanquan informed Qihuomai about the treaty. Qihuomai was furious and shouted that he would not agree. After An Duanquan tried to persuade him for a long time, Qihuomai still refused to nod, and An Duanquan was also angry.
"I answer, it's not that I won't help you. I can't do anything about the Wu Kui tribe if it continues to be delayed. When the time comes, I can just leave and go back to my city of Buyeo, out of sight but out of mind, and feel at ease.
What should you do with the Wukai Department?"
The beggar said: "In the worst case, I will leave with my horse attendants. I will go to Liaodong. There are thousands of tribes there. I will regroup the army and fight with them again!"
An Duanquan opened his eyes and shouted: "Are you crazy? Do you want to throw all the elders to the Yingzhou Army as prisoners of war? Do you want to abandon your own people and escape alone?"
The beggar said: "Even if I bear the reputation of being despised by the entire grassland, I can't let the Wu Kui tribe die in my hands!"
An Duan Quanqi said: "Whether we die here or not is not up to you. As long as the elders and nobles can leave alive, your Wukai tribe will have hope of making a comeback!"
The beggar said: "Without the young men, even if we all leave alive, what's the point? I'll go find the elders and explain the key to them!"
An Duanquan sighed: "This is what the elders mean. You don't have to look for it. They are afraid that you won't be able to lose face, so let me persuade you."
Begging for money was speechless for a long time, and then said: "Do the elders agree?"
An Duanquan nodded and said: "They want to survive and leave here as soon as possible. They just want to have a full meal."
The beggar was disappointed and looked at An Duanquan blankly: "Is that what you mean?"
An Duanquan said warmly: "I have sent someone to deliver the treaty to Buyeo City."
The beggar smiled bitterly: "You brothers want to get the support of the Yingzhou Army, right? But have you ever thought about swallowing the wolf with your front foot and luring the tiger with your back foot?"
An Duanquan said helplessly: "The Wukui tribe is the military force that our brothers have the highest hopes for, but what about now? Just rely on the Chute tribe and the Nira tribe? They have less than 2,000 soldiers in total! How can we fight Abaoji and the others?
Now we can only consider driving the wolf away first, otherwise we will all be swallowed up immediately. You are my answer. Do you think Abao will let you go afterward? He is a more ruthless guy than the evil wolf... Xiang Ying
If the state asks for help, it can at least ensure that our brothers can live well. We will be our Die La tribe Qi Jin, and you will still be your Wu Kui tribe Qi Jin... Li Chengzhong needs us to help him command the Khitan tribes."
Seeing that the beggar had stopped talking, An Duanquan added: "I have already proposed to Brother Hua and the others to reserve a seat for you in the joint headquarters."
The "Treaty of Huaiyuan" and the "Secret Agreement on the Disposal of the Khitan Wukui Tribe and Huaiyuan Military City" were formally signed at the Northern Command. Zhou Kan smacked his lips with some dissatisfaction, sighed, and ordered the siege and reinforcements drawn up by the Yu Hou staff officers.
The plan was torn to pieces. He was very disappointed that he did not get the opportunity to command actual combat this time. Facing An Duanquan and Beggars who came to sign the contract, he resisted the urge to go forward and hack them to death.
The commander stood up and wandered around the camp.
As the envoy, Li Suimo was responsible for signing the contract. He suddenly realized vaguely that if he made this stroke, the fate of the entire Eight Divisions of Khitan would be rewritten. At that moment, he felt that the pen in his hand was extremely heavy.
Deputy envoy Gao Mingbo stared at An Duanquan and Qihuomai signing their names on the "Huaiyuan Treaty" and the "Secret Agreement on the Disposal of the Khitan Wukui Tribe and Huaiyuan Military City" respectively with trembling hands, feeling a sense of achievement in his heart.
As a descendant of the Gao family of the Bohai Kingdom, he studied hard and practiced martial arts since he was a child. However, he was abandoned by his family because of his status as a commoner and was randomly sent to Yan County to become a merchant in a lowly profession.
Later, he encountered the Khitan military rebellion and wandered around the countryside, begging and scavenging. At that time, he almost thought he was going to die. Unexpectedly, just over half a year later, he would stand at the negotiating table and transfer the things he had to look up to in the past.
The big shots stepped under their feet, scolded the other party unscrupulously, looked down at them, and forced them to sign the shameful treaty. Gao Mingbo watched the last payment of the begging payment come to an end, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked up
The east is the hometown where he grew up - Mom, did you see it? My son is going to be successful!
A total of more than 2,000 people, including the elders and nobles of Wu Kui, their families and some prominent tribesmen in Huaiyuan Military City, left the military city where they had been trapped for recent months. Compared with the originally negotiated terms, more than 2,000 people left.
More than 300 people left, which was the only compromise and concession made by the Yingzhou Army in the entire treaty. More than 4,000 other tribesmen, craftsmen and slaves in the city were abandoned and fell into the hands of the Yingzhou Army.
, what awaits them will be two years of hard labor. Some of the strongest will join the previously captured Wukui soldiers to form a new Huaiyue coalition, and the rest will be immediately assigned to Liucheng and Yanjun.
They were engaged in heavy labor in mines and workshops to supplement the shortage of labor in Yingzhou.
After an investigation, it was found that there were gold, silver, jewelry and a large number of copper coins collected by the elders and nobles of Wu Kui left in the Huaiyuan Army City. Gao Mingbo recognized the styles and origins of most of them at a glance. Most of these items came from the Bohai Kingdom and were from Wu Kui.
After three consecutive days of counting, the value of these goods has roughly emerged. The total number of gold, silver and copper coins is 370,000 yuan, which does not include jade, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings and other treasures.
In addition, the ransom fee of 150,000 guan paid by the Diela tribe has also set off from Fuyu City and escorted to Huaiyuan Military City. The 50,000 guan compensation paid by the Wukui tribe needs to be paid after they return to the new city.
It is the city of Bohai Kingdom occupied by the Wukai tribe, and it is also the last piece of territory they rely on for survival.
Zhou Kan and the Northern Command escorted the property and prisoners of war back to Liucheng. Also returning with them were Li Suimo and Gao Mingbo who had completed the mission. The Huaiyuan Treaty Yuhou Joint Headquarters also began to be formed at the same time. The formation of this organization was
It was Zhong Shao who had just pacified the Wugu River Basin. His latest appointment was Yuhou, the joint headquarters of Huaiyuan Treaty and Yuhou.
When this out-and-out war windfall was brought back to Liucheng, it caused a sensation in the whole city. Li Chengzhong looked at the mountains of gold, silver, jewelry and copper coins piled up in front of him in the treasury. He was dumbfounded and asked: "Why is the Wukui tribe so rich?"
money?"
Gao Mingbo said from the side: "General, these were stolen from the Bohai Kingdom by the Wukai tribe."
Li Cheng's heart moved and he asked again: "Is the Bohai Kingdom rich?"
Gao Mingbo said: "General, the Bohai State has accumulated wealth beyond our imagination after hundreds of years of existence."
Li Chengzhong looked at Gao Mingbo and suddenly said: "I remember you are from Bohai."
Gao Mingbo solemnly said: "The Tang Dynasty is the common master of the world, and the Bohai Kingdom is also a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. It was also the Jimi State of the Tang Dynasty. I was born in Bohai, but I am a Tang Dynasty person." To be continued. (.
