Chapter 803 Conditions of the Turks
On the eighth day of the ninth month of the third year of the Great Chen Shenlong, outside Yanmen City.
Chen Kefu led the officials in Guanzhong of Yanmen to see off the troops led by Wang Rengong. Outside Yanmen City, the flags were like the sea and swords and guns were like forests. Chen's name was Daqi, Wang's name was Shuaiqi, Qin's name was Jiangqi, Zhang's name was Jiangqi, Cheng's name was Jiangqi, Luo's name was Jiangqi, black flying eagle military flag, and five-clawed yellow dragon national flag fluttered in the wind.
Under those flags were the helmet tassels, the marshals of Wang Rengong, the red tassels of generals of Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Zhang Yong, Zhang Meng, Zhang Biao, Chen Guang and other generals, the white tassels of the soldiers and lieutenants, and the black tassels of the military discipline inspectors and the scouts of the Special Service Division. On countless helmets of the helmets that shine brightly, strands of helmet tassels danced in the wind.
Under the dazzling marshal's yellow tassel helmet, Wang Rengong's long-standing gaze could not see any worries about going outside the frontier. All he had was the aura of a hero as a mountain and a hero without regrets. He gently waved his head full of gray hair, his eyes as a sword, and his expression was like a knife.
On the high city gate tower of Yanmen Pass, a long row of trumpeters began to blow the long horns, and the whimpering horns rang out.
At this moment, Emperor Chen Ke, wearing bright yellow armor, appeared on the city tower. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of soldiers, Chen Kefu walked to the largest war drum on the city tower, took the double hammer from the drummer, raised his arms back, and then slapped a pair of drumsticks heavily on the cowhide drum.
The snare drums were beating, and they were getting stronger and more shocking.
Amid the emperor's drums, more war drums began to sound, and the sound of thunder was shaking, and the dong dong sounded throughout Yanmen Pass.
The soldiers who stood neatly outside the pass were all red in their faces, and the spears like forests were waving neatly, and they shouted in unison with the soldiers of the three armies: "Long live, long live ◎!"
Horses are like dragons and people are like tigers. The 50,000 light cavalrymen who set out to fight are all excited, with spears like forests. Steel swords are better than snow, flags are like seas, and roars are shaking the sky.
The roars that were thrilling for a long time were filled with excitement everywhere in the city.
After a long time, Chen Kefu walked down from the city tower and rode his horse to Wang Rengong and other generals.
"Get wine!" Chen Kefu said loudly.
The waiters brought the imperial wine, and Chen Kefu personally picked up a wine jar and poured the generals one by one with fine wine.
"Everyone, Da Chen has been in office for three years, but the world is still full of disputes. Now there are wolves from the grassland peeking around. This time, we are going to fight, and we are going to force the group of wolves to retreat. Then the court has the opportunity to sweep the world. Your trip has a long future and is extremely difficult. Today is here. I offer you a glass of wine to the warriors. I wish you a great victory!"
Wang Rengong took the wine glass and drank it all in one sip. "Please rest assured Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations when I go here."
Li Jing also handed a glass of wine to Wang Rengong and said, "Brother, my second brother is waiting for my brother's good news at Yanmen Pass! My brother will return victoriously the next day, and I will prepare fine wine here to wait for the reception!"
Yuchi Gong, Changsun Wuji, Changsun Shunde and other civil and military officials from Yanmen Guanzhong came forward to pour wine to see off the soldiers. Some city officials had already prepared wine for the soldiers to go to war. At this time, they also made moves one by one to serve the wine to tens of thousands of soldiers.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
The drums and horns sounded together, and the three armies set out on the expedition.
Above Yanmen Pass, Chen Kefu led all officials to look northward. In the distance, the troops led by Wang Rengong were wrapped in smoke and dust and moved slowly northward.
Three days later, Song Jingang, with three thousand light cavalry, escorted the last batch of more than 20,000 people outside the pass, and finally arrived at the Yanmen Pass. At this point, more than 300,000 people outside the pass had retreated to Yanmen Pass. Countless towns and villages outside the pass had already turned into ruins according to Chen Kefu's order to clear the world. Hundreds of thousands of people flocked into Yanmen Pass. Fortunately, Changsun Wuji and others had already made sufficient preparations, and a large number of people began to head south to Taiyuan, Loufan, Xihe and other places. The local governments there had already made preparations for acceptance according to the orders of the court.
The surrender of Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er also brought about 50,000 surrendered soldiers from all ages. For these people, Chen Kefu, who was short of soldiers at the moment, did not disband them immediately, but temporarily mixed the 50,000 soldiers with the village soldiers and militia. Chen Kefu was very generous in the surrender of Song Jingang and other generals. Song Jingang and Zhen Zhai'er had previously obtained the titles of Duke of Song County and Duke of Yan County. At this time, Chen Kefu gave them the position of General Tiger Ben and gave them a lot of money and land.
This time, when Song Jingang arrived, he also brought a team of envoys from the Turkic commander Ye Hu Khan. Some of them were going to Luoyang to see Chen Kefu, but after Chen Kefu learned about this, he simply asked Song Jingang to take the envoy to the palace of Yanmen City.
The next morning, Song Jingang brought Yili, the envoy of the Khan of Ye Hu, into the palace. Yili and two followers walked into the Shenlong Hall of the palace in a swagger. In front of the civil and military officials in the hall, he did not kneel down to Chen Kefu. Instead, he stood there arrogantly and bowed: "I am the envoy of the Khan of the Khan of the Borderless Grassland, and I have seen the Emperor of the Chen Dynasty."
Chen Kefu sat in the hall, looking at him coldly. Yi Li looked at him for about 40 years. His sheepskin robe was covered with stains, and a leather hat on his head was also a little damaged. His long hair was tied into several strands of hair, and there were a few strange bone ornaments hanging on it. A pair of blistered eyes, a garlic nose, a beard like grass, and a wolf teeth pendant hanging around his neck. He looked as bad as his attitude.
Yi Li was still a little arrogant at first, standing in the hall looking around, without looking at Emperor Chen. But after a while, he glanced at Chen Kefu, but saw that Chen Kefu just looked at him coldly without saying anything. He couldn't help but feel a little calmer and shouted, "Is this the way you Zhongyuan people treat guests? What kind of etiquette is it, I think it's just like this."
Chen Kefu sat on the dragon throne, snorted coldly, slapped the dragon throne heavily, pointed at Yi Li and scolded: "My Central Plains has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, but our etiquette is only used for those who have been educated. You are just a group of barbarians wearing animal skins, eating raw meat and drinking blood, and they do not know etiquette and shame. You do not need to be polite to you, and you are not worthy of you. Back then, I had an alliance with your Khan, Ye Hu, who helped him seize the position of Khan in the grassland, and used the golden mountain as the boundary. He was in the west, I was in the east, and each other
We are friendly and mutually unfaithful. We have been traitorous and betrayal for a few years. We have been traitorous and betrayal in the chaos of our Central Plains. We have been extremely rude and traitorous. Thinking of the original alliance, we have been tolerant of it, but you do not know how to advance and retreat, and you actually regard my tolerance as weak and bullied. Now our troops have entered Dingxiang in the territory of Dachen. You said, should I kill you today and send your head to Tongye Hu to express my wishes?”
The Governor General of Hedong, Sun Wuji, also said coldly to Yili: "What kind of master is there, what kind of slaves will be? When Tongyehu was forced by Dalu Khan, he asked my envoys to ask my master for help, and even married his daughter to ask my family to help him win the position of the Great Khan. His Majesty, my emperor, thought that Tongyehu had just defeated Dalu Khan, was already crazy. Do you really think that no one in the world can control him? Back then, when my emperor had only 100,000 troops in Liaodong, he could defeat Shibi Khan, who had 400,000 troops in one fell swoop. Now Shibi Khan and Jie Li and other khans are still farming on our Ryukyu Island. Could it be that Tongyehu Khan also wanted to go and get a companion with Shibi, Jie Li and the others?"
The black charcoal head Yuchi Gong was like an iron tower. He was wearing a heavy armor and Xin Yili approached a few steps, his fingers clattered, and he shouted loudly: "In front of the emperor, those who do not kneel down will die!"
Yi Li was panicked and sweated on his forehead. After a while, he calmed down and looked at the civil and military officials of the Chen Dynasty in the palace. In the end, he changed his humble face, shook his leather robe, knelt down respectfully in the hall, and gave a big gift to Chen Kefu according to the standard etiquette. Seeing this, Chen Kefu knew in his heart that this guy was just pretending to be rude, but he was afraid that he had done the rudeness on purpose just now, and was afraid that he wanted to explore the attitude of Da Chen towards the Turkic people.
Chen Kefu understood in his heart that his tough performance with his ministers just now probably made Li Yi dare not underestimate him.
Since Yi Li was following the etiquette, Chen Kefu did not deliberately make things difficult for him anymore and said he could calm down.
"What's the matter with you here to see me?"
Yi Li said: "Return to Emperor Chen's words, my Khan said that my Khan had a promise. At that time, my Khan had an alliance with His Majesty Chen Dynasty. Later, my Khan married his beloved daughter Aiguli to His Majesty Chen Dynasty as promised. He said that the Emperor Chen Dynasty was still the son-in-law of my Khan, and he was already a family. My Khan followed the promise, but His Majesty Chen Dynasty only believed it first. He made an appointment with Emperor Chen to send Princess Yicheng to the grassland and marry my Khan to make a good relationship with two families. But my Khan sent envoys to the Central Plains many times over the years to ask Emperor Chen to send Princess Yicheng to the grassland, but you have been ruling until now."
"Today, according to the order of the Great Khan of Ye Hu, I came to the Central Plains again to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Chen Dynasty and asked to take Princess Yicheng back to the grassland to get married, otherwise..."
Changsun Wuji sneered, "What if it would be?"
Yi Li laughed and said, "You started from Liaodong outside the pass. You should know that the grassland cavalry is invincible. Where the iron hooves fall, the city is turned into powder. Now our lord unified the East and West Turks for three years. Now the whole country's troops gathered under Yinshan. How can the three-foot dangerous wall of Yanmen resist? Those who know the times are heroes. You can have a self-knowledge. You will send Princess Yicheng to the grassland as soon as possible and send the two counties of Dingxiang and Mayi as a dowry. My family's khan is generous and will consider returning to the north of Mo. In this way, you can still be your Emperor of Chen and the creatures in the world will be spared from the disaster."
