Qin Xiao's suggestions at the bone gathering were affirmed by Luotang Kedun, and also aroused great enthusiasm from the tribal leaders.
In the next two days, after repeated discussions, Ke Dun and the leaders finally made the decision to send a team of thirty people to set off as soon as possible to the Zhenyu Department to discuss matters related to Luozhi Mountain.
If it were in the past, even if there was really a negotiation, He Gu would not take the initiative to send an envoy there, as if he was acting inferior to others.
However, this time the Chili troops pressed into the territory, and the True Feathers sent troops and horses to support them. No matter what, the He Gubu still owed the True Feathers a favor.
And according to Qin Xiao's proposal, if the Zhenyu people can really agree to give way to the trade route, this will be the beginning of He Gu's prosperity. The trade with Datang really excited the leaders, and they felt that He Gu seemed to have found a way.
Correct truth.
If this road can be opened, even if it pays some price, it is not unacceptable. For the sake of He Gu's tribe, it is naturally acceptable to take the initiative to negotiate with the Zhenyu people.
Moreover, before that, Luutan Ketun and Wu Qingtage had already held an alliance meeting on the black beach, and the two sides joined forces to fight against the enemy. Although the blood feud between the two parties could not be easily resolved, the relationship between the two parties now is actually
It is the best moment in decades. Taking this opportunity to further negotiate is certainly not a bad thing for both parties.
Luoting Kedun sent He Gu Liguan Hu Lufa as an envoy to lead a team to negotiate.
Hu Lufa himself was an eloquent wise man in He Gu. In addition, he sent several famous wise men in the clan to work under Hu Lufa to complete this mission together.
In order to show his friendship to Mahabe, Ke Dun even had one hundred genuine He Bone knives crafted by He Bone craftsmen carefully prepared.
On the day of separation, although Ke Dun was very reluctant to leave Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao was not willing to stay with Ke Dun for a few more days. He just knew that he still had many things to do next. The He Gu Mission was going to discuss with the Zhen Yu Department.
Regarding Luo Zhishan and the business road, he also had to communicate with Tagge about the war horse trade. Long Ruijun must still be waiting for him to rush back as soon as possible. Although he was reluctant to leave, he could only leave as soon as possible.
Ke Dun made Qin Xiao a householder and gave him hundreds of cattle and sheep. Naturally, Qin Xiao couldn't really take them back. However, Ke Dun had obviously made preparations for a long time and had people prepare 300 pure bone-healing knives.
Packed them into boxes, sent people to escort and transport them, and followed Qin Xiao to send these swords back to Long Rui's army.
Qin Xiao was very happy about this.
Although the number of three hundred war knives is not large, these war knives are forged from the best iron ore in Tieshan. Although He Gu often trades He Gu knives with various grassland tribes, those He Gu knives only bear the name of He Gu.
, using the rather inferior iron ore from Tieshan and forged by ordinary blacksmiths, it is completely incomparable with the three hundred pure He Gu knives given to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao knew that Ke Dun was actually opening his mouth to him. If the military posture was sufficient, and with his relationship with Ke Dun, he might not be able to obtain more He Gu knives from He Gu.
In the Galiang River duel, if the Hegu sword hadn't improved the combat effectiveness of the Hegu warriors, the Hegu warriors might not have been able to survive until the end.
Qin Xiao set off with the team, and in addition to Luotian Kedun personally seeing him off, He Guhan and many leaders of the tribe also came to see him off.
The team marched slowly in front, and after He Guhan and others stayed behind, Ke Dun and Qin Xiao rode in parallel to gain a few more miles.
Today's Ke Dun is still as charming as ever, and the white horse under his crotch is extraordinary. Compared with the lion Cong under Qin Xiao's seat, it is naturally much more gorgeous.
"But stay here." Qin Xiao turned around and glanced in the direction of the Iron Palace, which was quite far away, and said softly: "They may not be suspicious when they see you seeing you off."
"What do you suspect?" Ke Dun smiled charmingly: "Doubt you are my lover? You are my hero. Without you, He Gu would not be able to escape the disaster. I really sent you directly to the True Feather Department, and they had no choice.
You can talk. And...I am He Gukedun, Xianhan is no longer here, even if there is a lover, what can they do?"
Qin Xiao knew that the grassland tribes did not have many ethical restrictions like the Tang Dynasty. In fact, their style was open. As Ke Dun said, even if she did have a lover, the tribe would only turn a blind eye.
It's just that Ke Dun is a phoenix on the grassland, with a proud heart, and has never set his sights on any man for many years. Naturally, there are countless men on the grassland who covet Ke Dun's beauty, but Ke Dun treats other men without pretense and has a noble status.
, but no one dared to take an interest in Ke Dun, and no one was lucky enough to kiss Fangze.
Ke Dun had feelings for Qin Xiao. If she was a woman from the Tang Dynasty, she would naturally keep it deep in her heart and not dare to show it. But the grassland is open, and Ke Dun, like most grassland women, dares to love and hate, just because she wants to
He dared to speak out directly about asking Qin Xiao to become his lover.
"It's a pity that Nu Yun only drew a cake for me." Qin Xiao sighed lightly.
Ke Dun smiled charmingly, knowing what Qin Xiao meant. There was no one around, and he was not afraid of anyone hearing him. He smiled and said: "If I let you get your way too early, you will soon forget me. This is what I want to do, so that you can always
Remember me so that you will come back to see me."
Qin Xiao didn't know whether Ke Dun was deliberately trying to prevent him from succeeding, or whether he was really using this trick to wait for him to come back again. However, he could really feel Ke Dun's friendship for him and looked up at the sky.
, said with some reluctance: "Take care of yourself!"
Ke Dun knew that the separation was imminent, but he was also melancholy. He hummed softly and looked at Qin Xiao blankly. Qin Xiao smiled like a spring breeze, said no more, shook the horse's reins, urged the horse away, and caught up with the team in front, waiting for him to turn back.
At that time, he saw Ke Dun, wearing a big cloak, riding a white horse alone on the grassland, looking at him and not leaving for a long time.
Zhen Yu and He Gu stopped fighting, so the mission's journey was naturally smooth.
When they arrived at Luozhi Mountain, they could see the flag of the Zhenyu tribe flying on the mountain from a distance. Qin Xiao knew that after the withdrawal of He Gu's army, the Zhenyu tribe immediately regained control of Luozhi Mountain, but He Gu, including Hu Lufa,
Everyone in the mission looked at Luozhi Mountain with sad expressions.
Qin Xiao can understand their mood.
Luozhi Mountain was once the territory owned by their ancestors, but it was taken away by the Zhenyu tribe. Over the years, in order to regain Luozhi Mountain, the two tribes fought bloody battles, and many Xile warriors were buried here.
This time the mission went to Zhenyu in order to wish Gu Gu a better future and to recognize Zhenyu's ownership of Luozhi Mountain.
Although all this is for He Gu to open up trade routes and prosper, as an envoy of He Gu, he personally handed over the territory that once belonged to him to the enemy, and naturally he still felt sad deep in his heart.
The appearance of this mission naturally alerted the guards at Luozhi Mountain, and soon a team of 100 people came to stop them. Qin Xiao personally explained, but these soldiers were in awe of the name "Xiang Gong" and knew that Qin Xiao was
The killing god who killed dozens of Tusun warriors all dismounted and saluted. Knowing that the He Gu delegation was going to Zhenyu Khan's camp for negotiations, he immediately reported to Tutun Uluolan.
Wuluo Lansuo is the general who guards Luozhi Mountain and has always been the pillar of the northern part of Zhenyu Grassland.
Previously, He Gu's army attacked Luozhi Mountain and once captured most of it, besieging Uluo Lansuo and some of the remaining troops in a corner of the mountain. Fortunately, Wu Qingtage's reinforcements arrived in time, and U Luo Lansuo led the remaining troops.
Occupy the favorable terrain and persevere to the end, and then escape from death.
However, this battle also caused heavy casualties to thousands of soldiers and horses in the Uluolan Grassland.
Wuluo Lansuo was worthy of being a true feather pillar. Although he had fought a bloody battle with the He Gu people not long ago, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, when he learned the purpose of the He Gu mission, he did not embarrass the mission. Instead, he transferred a hundred
The cavalry escorted the envoy team directly to the Khan tent.
Perhaps only those who have experienced countless bloody fights know the preciousness of peace.
With the escort of the True Feather Cavalry, the journey within the True Feather Grassland will naturally be unimpeded.
Before arriving at Zhenyu Khan's tent, someone among the cavalry took the lead to go to the Khan's tent to report. When the envoy approached the Khan's tent camp, a team of people came out of the Khan's tent to greet them. However, the person who led the team was known to Qin Xiao, who was Ba Mian Linglong.
The sheep is lucky.
Yang Chiji had entertained Qin Xiao before and was very attentive. Qin Xiao was very familiar with him.
"The Great Khan has already known that your envoy has arrived with his team." After Yang Chiji dismounted, he saluted Hu Lufa with his arms and said: "The day before yesterday, Wu Qingtage, supported by the leaders of the tents, worshiped the sky and saluted, and he has inherited the throne of Khan.
"
Qin Xiao was startled, then looked happy.
It seems that there was no delay after the Zhenyu army turned back. The leaders immediately supported Wu Qingtage and called him Khan. From now on, the great khan of the Zhenyu tribe is Zhenyu Wuqing. In this way, Long Rui's army will never stop.
The success of the True Feather Department in acquiring horse sources will be greatly increased.
"Congratulations to Zhenyu Khan for succeeding to the throne." Hu Lufa and everyone in the envoy also dismounted and saluted, and said politely: "We have been ordered by Ke Dun to come for peace!"
Yang Chiji also said enthusiastically: "The Great Khan is currently receiving guests and cannot find time to meet with your envoys, so he has ordered the envoys to rest for the time being. You have worked hard all the way, washed away the dust, and after eating and drinking, the Great Khan will naturally
Meet."
Qin Xiao wondered whether it was because other tribes knew that Tagg had succeeded him as Khan, so they sent people to congratulate him. Wu Qing Khan was receiving envoys from the tribes?
But after a few days, I was traveling day and night, and it was quite dusty.
At that moment, Yang Chiji led the envoy to a camp and arranged for everyone to rest. Qin Xiao was different from the envoy and had other arrangements. Yang Chiji took him to a tent near the Jinding Khan tent and explained: "Big
Khan has already moved into the Jinding Khan Tent and has ordered you to temporarily stay near the Jinding Khan Tent and wait for summons at any time."
Qin Xiao knew that after the death of Zhenyu Khan, the Golden Summit Khan tent was vacant. No one dared to move in until the new Khan succeeded to the throne. Now that Wu Qing Khan has moved in, it proves that she is indeed the real Khan supported by everyone.
"Who is the Great Khan meeting?" Qin Xiao was not polite at all. He sat down, poured himself a glass of kumiss, and took a sip. For some reason, he regarded Zhen Yube as his own.
Like home.
Yang Chiji smiled and said: "People of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Khan is meeting with officials of the Tang Dynasty!"
