When the news reached Yecheng, Gao Wei's first reaction was not to be angry, but to feel incredible.

The Qi Dynasty was also an offensive mentality. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty entered the Central Plains, although the ethnic groups on the surrounding deserts and grasslands have risen and fallen repeatedly, they have never been able to compete with the Central Plains dynasty. In the eyes of the Northern Dynasties, their opponents will always be the Southern Dynasties, and the rest are not worthy of discussion. In addition to a Turkic sweeping across the northern desert and the Western Regions, it is very powerful, and there is also the qualification to talk to the Northern Qi Dynasty on an equal basis.

But what is this Tuyuhun? How dare you offend the power of heaven in a small country?!

There is no need to say anything about the anger of the government and the country.

There were already many ministers in front of the court, and military generals wrote to the court to severely punish Tuyuhun, destroy the country, and destroy the species!

As the king of a country, Gao Wei naturally would not make the decision to conquer a country like this. He consulted several important ministers and was the one who was the main warrior, including Tang Yong, who had just served as the left prime minister:

"Tuyuhun relies on his own in the northwest corner, he dared to despise the power of heaven and refused to submit to Wang Hua. Kuolu even launched a military force to invade the territory and openly disobey the court! If we do not punish us, we will have countless vassal states (tribes) under our command. Wouldn't we follow suit in the future? In the long run, what is the majesty of the court? What is the majesty of Your Majesty? I think we must set a rule to kill the chicken to warn the monkey!"

How to set rules? It is naturally the only way to decide.

As soon as Tang Yong said this, he immediately received a response from a group of militants... After the Northern Qi defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the world seemed to have returned to the stalemate between the Wei, Shu and Wu in the past. Many people believed that although the Great Qi was strong, it would take a long time to destroy the other two countries in a short time and unify the world. Next, there would probably be a long time of peace.

This is not good news for a warrior who is determined to seek military merit.

Some of the top-notch people, such as Yang Su and others, have already achieved success and fame, and there is still a lot of people who have nowhere to show their own talents. The Turks are huge and cannot move for the time being. The rest of the tribes such as the Khitan have already surrendered and surrendered. They are worried that there is no place to make military achievements, but by chance, Tuyuhun emerged. Isn’t this obvious military achievements?

Right Prime Minister Gao Yang frowned and looked at Tang Yong with a faint displeasure. How could he not know what these rough warriors had to do? If it were other times, Gao Yang would definitely not object, but now Northern Qi has just experienced two major wars, and national strength and people's livelihood need time to recover. It is definitely not a good idea to start a war again at this time.

Therefore, even though he was reluctant to offend the nobles again, he still had to bite the bullet and give advice:

"Your Majesty, although Kuolu is abominable, no matter how Tuyuhun says, it is also a country. It is different from those savages who have no monarch and ministerial constitution. You cannot expect to let them fall down and scatter in two or three battles... The King of Lanling was in Guanzhong, and he had to be on guard against Zhou State to go north. Without this ability, the court would definitely send troops from Jinyang and Henan to deal with Tuyuhun. But in that case, the expenses would be too great. The court might be defeated but could not afford it!"

Some people are dissatisfied: "What are the things that these Qiang Zahu are afraid of?"

Gao Yang looked upright and said, "Don't think I'm exaggerating. If Tuyuhun was so easy to destroy, he would have been destroyed by Zhou State long ago. How could Wei Cun last until now? Liu Song, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Liang were destroyed and they were still there!

"Although Kualu is arrogant, he is not a fool. As far as I know, this Khan has been imitating the Central Plains dynasty. Tuyuhun is in his hands at his peak!"

Everyone was silent, but what Gao Yang said was a fact. Tuyuhun was different from other savage tribes, and even from the sudden rise of nouveau riche like the Turks. They had historical background.

The ancestors of Tuyuhun people were originally a branch of the Murong Xianbei in Liaodong. Murong Tuyuhun, the eldest son of the Murong Shanyu, fought with his brother Murong Wei, but was not an opponent. Murong Tuyuhun then led his troops to move west to Shanglong, and stopped at Qihan. He used this as a base, and his descendants inherited each other, invaded the Di and Qiang, and became a strong tribe. It has been frequently seen in historical books of various dynasties and dynasties, and has survived to this day.

There is no dynasty that lasts longer than it today, but no matter how long the history is, it cannot change the fact that Tuyuhun is curled up in a corner and has weak national strength. Basically, in the war with the Central Plains dynasty or other powerful tribes in the north, Tuyuhun suffered the loss. During the period of Turkic Mugan Khan, Mugan robbed Tuyuhun several times, forcing Tuyuhun to escape to the southern plateau.

People say that "one Han is the Five Barbarians", "Hu people have no fortune for a hundred years", "Hu people are weak, ignorant and barbaric, and act in reverse and against others seems to have become an inherent impression, and this reason is innate.

They are located in a remote area, and it is difficult for the Central Plains civilization to radiate there. It is not realistic for a person who has been in the ignorant tribal system to tell him about Confucianism, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Even if they understand these principles, their lack of material life and backward organizational system cannot support this ambition.

Let’s talk about Tuyuhun civilization. He had many tribal habits and had no law constraints. He established the city walls but still lived in water and grass. Let’s talk about Tuyuhun’s people being barbaric, and they also followed the Central Plains official system. There were kings, dukes, servants, courtesans, and generals in China... This was a country that wanted to enter the feudal era but failed, and was full of various inconsistencies.

The barbaric customs kept them fierce and looted nature, and the state system kept them alive.

To deal with such a country, we must make a long-term plan... In the historical trajectory, this country has been repeatedly ravaged by several powerful regimes in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Tubo, and completely submerged the long river of history. Gao Wei did not want his power to be dragged on Tuyuhun. He did not want to manage the Western Regions now, which is simply unprofitable, so he expressed his opinion:

"What Gao Qing's family said is reasonable, and things can be urgent. Although Tuyuhun invaded our territory is hateful, we must slowly conquer the matter of launching troops and storming."

Speaking of this, Gao Wei glanced at the ministers with a hatred and said, "Even if I don't know the soldiers, I know these truths. If we attack Mobei, we still have Jinyang and Huaishuo stand for the front station, but if we can only send troops from Chang'an to attack Tuyuhun, we can only march thousands of miles. Wouldn't the soldiers be tired? The army put in the most is wasting the effort on the road. I will never do such a thing that is to work hard for the people only to have their own face!"

Gao Bing quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Tang Yong said embarrassedly: "Can you just let it go?"

"Of course, I can't just forget it," Gao Yang said high, "Kulu launched an army to invade my border for no reason, and he must give the court an explanation."

The words were righteous, but Tang Yong and a group of ministers could not help but hesitate. "Taozhou was originally the territory of Tuyuhun, which was stolen from them by Zhou State. Tuyuhun originally had a remark..."

"What's that?" A voice suddenly sounded, and the person in the back row narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "The Zhou Kingdom took it away from him, and that was the Zhou Kingdom. Zhou Kingdom was defeated by us again, and Taozhou was naturally ours. Is there any doubt about this? Territorial disputes, either fighting or talking, Kuolu led his troops back in just over ten days of besieging the city, which shows that he did not dare to be an enemy of the Great Qi at all."

One word wakes up the dreamer.

This person briefly explained the essence of praising Lu's harshness and being weak on the inside, avoiding those trivial factors, pointing directly to the core essence, and having a very sophisticated vision.

Everyone looked sideways and found that it was Pei Shiju who was rumored to have been neglected by the emperor. Pei Shiju slowly stepped out of the line, bowed to the emperor to the end, and said solemnly: "If what I expected is right, the envoy of Kuulu Qiuhe is already on the way to Yecheng!"

The long Gobi Desert and snow-capped mountains, dotted tents are dotted.

The flames licked the blue sky.

Some of the chiefs of the Qiang tribes, some of them were wearing Han-like hair buns, some were combed with Xianbei-style braids, and some were shaved directly on their heads. They gathered here, and the shamans and witches surrounded the burning fire, dressed in sheepskin, dragged the sheep's tail, the sheep's horn crown, and the human face, responded to the drum beats, dancing wildly.

The Liaodong Xianbei migrated here for a long time and had been assimilated by surrounding ethnic groups. There was no difference between the Tuyuhun tribes.

When Murong Kuala Lu stood up from the dome tent in fur, all the chiefs stood up and raised the cups in their hands, expressing obedience and respect to the Khan of Tuyuhun. Murong Kuala Lu looked at the boundless sky in the west and sighed deeply:

"The people of Qi killed my children and invaded my territory. This hatred and hatred are irreconcilable! But Tuyuhun is too weak compared to Daqi. Daqi is just like the Great Wei in the past. They are the sun and the moon. The other countries around them are fireflies compared to them. I don't want Tuyuhun's son to die in vain... Instead of fighting with Qi people, it is better to lie dormant and wait for them to weaken."

"Shifu," Kualu pointed out his eldest son's name, "I remember you have always loved dealing with people from the Central Plains. I believe you will know them better. I have something to hand over to you..."

The eldest prince Shifu looked shaking.

"You will go to Yecheng for me and tell the emperor, Taozhou and Minzhou, I will just give it to him. I don't plan to worry about your brother Fu Yun's death. From then on, the two countries will turn war into jade and silk, how about?"

ps: The number of words is a bit small, mainly because I had a fever yesterday and was drowsy... It was hard to find a website in the wild. This chapter was finally published, but there was no way, and it was like this for geology. This book will not be delayed for a long time, and the timeline has already reached the later stage.
Chapter completed!
