Everyone here was surprised and looked at each other.
Everyone knows that Tadota was born with arrogance in his bones and was a proud and arrogant person.
He was good at riding and shooting, and the Great Chanyu had always cultivated him as his successor. He had been studying since he was a child, and even worshiped Donglin Khan as his teacher, learning how to march and form formations.
Tatu is also a talented and intelligent person, and he is really motivated and motivated, so he is deeply loved by Da Chanyu. The whole tribe is actually full of expectations for this Tatu.
It is precisely because of his excellent personal abilities and the blood of the Sile royal family that he is full of arrogance. In addition to being in awe of the Great Chanyu, he can also have respect for Donglin Khan, but it is difficult for others to fall in his eyes.
So Tadu knelt down to Qin Xiao and took the initiative to become his disciple, which really surprised everyone.
However, among the people here, there are few shrewd people who quickly understood the mystery behind it.
Not to mention Tatu's temperament, although Qin Xiao's status is definitely much higher than that of a grassland tribe, Tatu is three or four years older than Qin Xiao, making Tatu look up to someone older than him.
As a young man, it was impossible for Tado to be willing to become a disciple.
But Tatu still knelt down to worship his master after all. Judging from Tatu's somewhat stiff tone, this was certainly not Tatu's own wish.
Some people can already conclude that Tadu doing this must be the intention of the Great Chanyu.
Today, Shanyu's attitude is very clear, which is to abandon the Liaodong Army and establish a friendly relationship with Long Rui Army.
It is no longer important whether the content of that confession is true or false. What is important is that it has shown full sincerity to General Qin.
But everyone knows that even if Bu Liuda really forms a friendly relationship with Long Ruijun, there is still a huge problem.
Among the three tribes of Xile, the True Feather Tribe was the first to enter into silk and horse trade with Long Rui Army. Everyone knows that the completion of the silk horse trade actually meant that the True Feather Tribe and Long Rui Army formed an alliance, so in Xi Le
Among the three Le tribes, the relationship between Zhen Yu tribe and Long Ruijun is of course very close.
Although everyone does not know that Qin Xiao has a very close personal relationship with Luantang Kedun, the fact that General Qin came with the He Gu delegation this time is enough to prove that the relationship between He Gubu and General Qin is not shallow.
The three tribes of Xile, Zhen Yu and He Gu all already had a very close relationship with Qin Xiao. Bu Liuda was definitely at a disadvantage in this regard.
Once one day, Long Rui's army completely swallows up the Liaodong Army and takes control of the four northeastern counties, then the interests of the surrounding forces will be directly linked to Long Rui's army.
By then, Bu Liuda would obviously fall behind Zhen Yu and He Gu, who had a good relationship with General Qin earlier, in the competition for Modong's interests.
The Great Chanyu has a long-term view. While everyone is only considering the preliminary relationship with Long Ruijun, the Great Chanyu has already thought of the more distant future.
Arranging for Tado to worship Qin Xiao as his disciple was certainly a clever move.
The purpose of General Qin's visit to Buliuda was obviously the same as that of Great Shanyu, and he also hoped to establish a friendly relationship with Buliuda. Therefore, Tadodu paid homage to Buliuda in public, and Qin Xiao could not refuse.
As long as the general takes over Tatu, then the two of them will have the title of master and disciple.
This level of relationship is enough to close the distance between Long Ruijun and Bu Liuda. Even if there is a conflict of interest among the three Xile tribes in the future, Tadu and the general have the status of master and apprentice, so Long Ruijun will naturally not be in good shape.
To favor Zhen Yu or He Gu.
Many Buliuda leaders and officials who understood this were applauding in their hearts, secretly thinking that it was the Great Chan Yu Rui who could come up with such a wonderful move.
Of course, Qin Xiao instantly saw the mystery behind this.
In fact, he really didn't care about it.
His purpose was to cut off the Liaodong Army's foreign aid and concede that Liuda's arm would no longer be used by the Liaodong Army.
The purpose of this trip has obviously been achieved, but the price he paid was to accept Tadu as his disciple. Even though he knew that this was the deliberate arrangement of the Great Chanyu, he did not resent this approach. He even felt that it was not a price, but a benefit to both parties.
All are beneficial.
If there is a master-disciple relationship with Ta, it will not be easy to favor the other two in the future dispute between the three Xile tribes, but because of this relationship, it can also be ensured that Bu Liuda will get closer to Long Ruijun and fight against Long Ruijun.
Ruijun's strategy is beneficial and harmless.
In fact, in the dispute between the three grassland tribes, Qin Xiao really never thought about taking sides.
Qin Xiao also had an extremely close relationship with Wu Qinghan and Luantang Kedun, but Qin Xiao could distinguish between public and private matters and clearly understood that a personal relationship was a personal relationship, and that he should never abandon the public relationship for personal reasons.
As far as the tribes in Modong are concerned, the most favorable situation for the Tang Dynasty is that the three tribes of Xile check and balance each other.
Harmful.
In fact, there was no strategic problem with the Liaodong Army's support of Bu Liuda in suppressing the Zhenyu tribe. Qin Xiao still fully agreed with the Liaodong Army's strategy.
Of course, Qin Xiao could not allow a unified and powerful regime to emerge in Modong. This would definitely pose a huge threat to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, differentiation and checks and balances were a long-term strategy for the grassland tribes. No matter who was in charge of the Northeast, the threat to the grassland
This strategy will not change.
However, Qin Xiao was naturally very good at observing people's emotions. Although Tatu seemed to be very respectful, he could feel the other party's displeasure about this matter from Tatu's tone.
The Great Chanyu had arranged for Tatu to become his disciple before this, and he must have made clear to Tatu the interests and consequences involved. Although Tatu could not accept kneeling down to become a disciple of a young man younger than himself, for the benefit of the tribe, he still decided to do so.
Reluctantly, he knelt down to Qin Xiao in public.
Qin Xiao admires Tatu's attitude of taking the overall situation into consideration, and also knows that the master-disciple relationship is not actually of any substance, it is just a political trick. If he really accepts the master-disciple relationship with Tado, he will certainly
It is good for the relationship between Long Ruijun and Bu Liuda, but it is actually not good for the personal relationship between Tatu and himself.
It only took him a moment to think of a countermeasure, and he stepped forward in person, helped Tatu up, and said that he did not need to form a master-disciple relationship with Tatu, but he could become a brother.
As soon as Qin Xiao said this, everyone was surprised, even the great Chanyu.
After all, although Buliudazhang is the capital of Tata and has a very high status in Buliuda, it is still far inferior to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao was not only a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, but also had the status of a champion general. With these two points alone, the Great Chanyu was also ranked below him, not to mention Bu Liuda Zhang, who only had the status of Tatu.
It's reasonable for Tadu to worship Qin Xiao as his disciple, but to become a brother to General Qin is definitely a high ranking.
But Qin Xiao didn't have any airs, didn't care about his identity, and took the initiative to become brothers with Tatu. This really surprised everyone, but then they all admired him greatly, thinking that this general is really broad-minded.
The magnanimity is truly admirable.
Tatu originally had his head lowered, but after hearing Qin Xiao's words, he raised his head with a look of astonishment.
"General, you...you want to become brothers with me?" Tatu said in astonishment.
Qin Xiao nodded, held Tatu's hand, and said with a smile: "Tatu and I are similar in age. You should be older than me a few times. If Tatu is willing, we will become brothers now and let everyone be a witness."
Everyone said: "How about you help testify?"
"Okay!" Donglin Khan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The general and Tadu have become brothers. We share weal and woe. We are all witnesses." He ordered: "Come here and set up a case!"
In fact, sworn brotherhood is also a custom on the grasslands. If two people have similar interests and appreciate each other, it is common for both parties to become sworn brothers.
The grassland people attach great importance to this. Once they become brothers, they can be said to trust each other and share the same burden of difficulties. The act of betraying a sworn brother is the most despicable behavior on the grassland and is despised by everyone.
Donglin Khan saw that Qin Xiao was willing to marry Tatu, so of course he knew the mystery and was the first to applaud.
When Da Shanyu came back to his senses, he gently stroked his long beard, looked at Qin Xiao, nodded slightly, and his deep eyes were filled with admiration.
Someone had already set up a desk outside the tent according to Donglin Khan's instructions.
The sworn knot with Jinlan is a very solemn event on the grassland, but the ceremony is never very grand, because in the eyes of the Siler people, if such a thing is done with great fanfare, it would be a bit hypocritical and violate the original intention of the sworn knot.
Therefore, even though the identities of Qin Xiao and Tatu are extraordinary, the ceremony is still very simple according to the tradition of the grassland.
Everyone came out of the big tent, and under the leadership of the Great Chanyu, they witnessed the two young talents performing a sworn sworn ceremony according to the customs of the grassland.
At this time, everyone saw that Tatu's expression became obviously happy, and his eyes looking at Qin Xiao were obviously full of appreciation and admiration.
This kind of look is rarely seen in Tadu's eyes.
Some people knew that Tado had no choice but to become a disciple of Qin Xiao today, but Qin Xiao chose to marry Jinlan, which gave Tado great face.
Although Tadu is arrogant and arrogant, he is not a ungrateful person.
Qin Xiao was broad-minded and didn't care about his status. How could he not be grateful for giving him such a great honor? He knew clearly that if he were a general, he might not be able to show off his figure.
Therefore, I admire Qin Xiao's open-mindedness from the bottom of my heart.
The ceremony was not complicated. Donglin Khan personally presided over the ceremony. After the ceremony was completed, Tatu had already bowed to Qin Xiaoyi, saluted with his arms crossed and said: "Bu Liuda Zhang has met my eldest brother. From now on, I am willing to spend time with my eldest brother."
Trouble. If eldest brother is in danger, Bu Liuda Zhang will be the first one to rush to your side!"
Qin Xiao was startled when he heard Tatu respectfully call him eldest brother. But he immediately understood that he had given Tatu great face. Tatu was a man who knew good and bad, and by treating him as his elder brother, he was also giving himself face.
He laughed and opened his arms. Tadu immediately understood and came forward, and the two hugged each other.
There was a burst of cheers all around.
The Great Chanyu saw it with a smile on his face and a look of relief in his eyes.
"From now on, Tatu and the general are brothers." Donglin Khan, who presided over the ceremony, also looked happy and said loudly: "Everyone, go back to your account and continue to celebrate...!" He had not yet finished speaking.
, but heard the sound of horse hooves, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a few horses appearing from the east, and Pegasus galloping, coming straight towards this direction.
There is a banquet here today, and there are soldiers guarding the area. If it is not an emergency, you must not come to disturb it.
In the important place of Khan's court, the rules are also strict. If there is no emergency, galloping like this in the Khan's court is a serious crime. If you are investigated, you may even lose your head.
The Great Chanyu frowned, and many people also looked suspicious.
After Donglin Khan saw the horses clearly, his joyful expression instantly became solemn, and he quickly walked towards the horses.
"Go back to your tent!" the eldest Chanyu ordered, and turned around to go to the sweat tent. Everyone else saw that the fast horses had stopped, and one of them got off the horse and walked quickly to Donglin Khan.
I wanted to say something, but I just looked up and saw a large group of people here, but the cavalryman came close to Dong Linhan's ear and whispered in a low voice.
When everyone saw that the Great Chanyu had returned to his account, they didn't want to delay, so they all followed him back.
But Tatu said to Qin Xiao: "Brother, let's go into the tent and continue drinking!"
Qin Xiao smiled and nodded, but still glanced at Donglin Khan.
At this time, some cavalry came, and it was Donglin Khan who came to greet them. Qin Xiao speculated that it might be related to the military situation.
Donglin Khan was the military commander of Buliuda. He took the initiative to greet him, which proved that he knew that Qi wanted to report military information.
Qin Xiao was a little confused. In the current situation, it was absolutely impossible for He Gu and Zhen Yu's tribe to use troops against Bu Liuda. The Liaodong Army was now unable to protect itself, and the two counties defending it were in danger. Of course, it was impossible to send troops to Bu Liuda.
Looking around, the only threat to Buliuda is the Bohai Kingdom.
Qin Xiao knew that Bohai had been invading and encroaching on the territory of the Siler people over the years, especially the Black Forest, the birthplace of the Siler people, which had been encroached upon by the Bohai people.
However, the two sides have been relatively peaceful in the past two years. Under the resistance of the Bu Liuda Army, the Bohai Navy was unable to continue its westward advance, and the Buliuda Army was unable to recapture the occupied territory from the Bohai Navy. The two sides have always been in a state of confrontation.
If there was really an emergency military situation, Qin Xiao estimated that something had happened in the Black Forest.
However, this was Bu Liuda's own matter, so he naturally couldn't show interest. Seeing that Donglin Khan was listening to the report in detail, he followed everyone back to the big tent.
Everyone returned to their seats. Tadu and Qin Xiaoyi were married. Everyone was very happy to congratulate them, but the whole tent was full of joy.
However, everyone knew that Qin Xiao had an unrivaled drinking capacity. Although they wondered how this young man could have such a terrifying drinking capacity, no one dared to argue about drinking. No one even dared to propose a toast to Qin Xiao alone. They drank casually.
Drinking and mingling.
While Qin Xiao remained calm, he noticed that although Da Chanyu seemed calm, there was a hint of worry between his brows.
This must be because I just saw the cavalry coming to report.
It's just that the Great Chanyu obviously didn't want to affect today's banquet, so he acted calmly and casually. However, as the Great Chanyu of Buliuda, he was extremely shrewd, and of course he guessed that something bad was happening, so he raised his eyebrows
It was still difficult to hide the worry in my heart.
