Tuoba Gu's attitude after entering the account was respectful and polite. Everything was seen according to the Han family etiquette, and he sat quietly.
Xu Qian is also a general appearance. There is absolutely nothing missing in etiquette, even with a trace of flattery.
Their attitude made Liu Yan feel a little bad. It had to be asking for talents. It would be such an attitude, respectful and courteous. It would not be like this if they had no desire or didn't want to take advantage. After all, the state of Han and the state of Tuoba are still separated by a stone tablet state of Zhao. No matter how strong the state of Han is, it can't threaten the state of Tuoba.
Liu Yan smiled and asked Tuoba Gu, "have you seen your sister?"
"I've seen the king of the Han Dynasty." Tuoba Gu's appearance is not much different from that of the Han people. Murong Xianbei is the majority of Xianbei with white blood. He doesn't look rough like a hu man. He even looks like a gentle scholar. He smiled and said, "my sister is really ashamed to ask about the dowry."
It was LV Yi who went to the grassland to receive tuobaxiu's dowry. What moth did he produce?
"Although the road is not smooth, it has been delayed for as long as three years. Alone and privately, he added two thousand accounts, and supplemented some cattle, horses and sheep. When my brother knew about it, he supplemented five thousand accounts and a batch of livestock, and some princes more or less supplemented eight hundred accounts." Tuo Bagu looked at her with a look of embarrassment: "those in the back are not the dowry given to her sister by her brother, but just compensation. When she saw her sister, her sister said she needed more, but at present... She is not rich, so..."
The grassland is calculated according to the "account". There are at least four people in one account, and a little more than seven people. Then, according to the average value of five people in one account, it is equivalent to Tuoba shiyiqian and Tuoba Gu, as well as a group of Tuoba clans, who have made up about 40000 marriage makeup for Tuoba Xiu.
Liu yangu also believed Tuoba Gu's explanation. With his understanding of Tuoba Xiu, it was even more natural for him to ask for more dowry. It was not a polite woman to her mother's family.
Since it is a dowry, no matter according to the etiquette of the Han family or the values of Xianbei, in fact, no matter how much the Tuoba family pays, anything does not belong to Liu Yan, but to Tuoba Xiu. When Tuoba Xiu has children, it should be the next generation, not the property of the royal family of the Han state.
Naturally, if tuobaxiu is willing to let Liu Yan use it, there is nothing, but the ownership is still tuobaxiu.
"Dowry is dowry, not debt repayment." Tuoba Gu said positively, "we all know this very clearly."
As a dowry for the princess 40000 people and a large number of livestock, it is rare in the grassland. It can be said that the Tuoba family has been very generous. It is rare that they specially explain that debt is debt and have no intention of debt. This is very interesting.
The last time Princess Xianbei married, Murong Zhuang, as her daughter, was also very generous. She gave Tuoba shiyijian 5000 accounts, 40000 horses, 5000 cattle, 200000 sheep, fur and so on.
With these dowries, Tuoba Shiyi key had more than a little chance of winning when competing with his third brother Tuoba Qu for the boss of the Tuoba family. Now the leader of the Tuoba generation country can be Tuoba Shiyi Jian, but that is also because of the strong support of the fourth Tuoba Gu.
Yuwen Xianbei, who also married Murong Zhang's daughter, received only one tenth of Tuoba Shiyi's dowry. Yuwen Yidou didn't complain less after the comparison. As a result, it also became an excuse for Murong seal's Crusade.
Now Yuwen Xianbei has actually been destroyed and divided into nine parts, one of which is Khitan.
Yuwen Yidou GUI first fled to Mobei, and then was accepted by Shi Hu. He first worked under Shi bin, and then ran to Koguryo for some reason. That was also the incentive for Murong Xianbei to attack Koguryo for the second time.
The truth is that Yuwen Yidou has a daughter who married Gao Zhao, the former king of goguryo's hometown. He is not only related to Koguryo by marriage, but also related to Tuoba Xianbei, Murong Xianbei and Duan Xianbei. However, when others beat Yuwen Xianbei, they didn't worry about that.
In view of the "Xianbei truth" that marriage is used to beat and play with each other, Liu Yanke, who knows this well, will not really regard the friendship of the Tuoba family as more than Jin Jian. He seems to entertain it warmly. He is unwilling to talk about what makes Tuoba attack Shijie Zhao state or Murong Xianbei.
Family affection doesn't work, so should we change our strategy?
Tuoba retreated alone and replaced Xu Qian.
Xu Qian played a very important role in the Tuoba Dynasty. Although his official position was only a doctor's order, he presided over the establishment of the testimonies belonging to the Tuoba Dynasty, and was called Shuangjie together with Yan Feng. When he helped Tuoba Shi Yijian, he was not at the peak. He really made efforts when he had to go through the destruction of the Tuoba Dynasty by Fu Jian and the former Qin Dynasty and help Tuoba Xianbei rebuild the Northern Wei Dynasty.
At this time, Xu Qian has shown his talent. Because he is still young, he gives people no sense of massiness. He first praised Liu Yan's rapid expansion of the Han Dynasty, and then implicitly proposed that it was precisely because the expansion was too fierce that there were many enemies.
"My king is far away in the grassland. He and the king are in law. We should be close to each other." Xu Qian did not take himself as an outsider at all. After a few words of gossip, he said, "seriously, I am also the Minister of the king. I am no different from the king."
Liu Yan nodded with a smile and said, "then I don't know what advice?"
"Tell the king that the minister came here with the king of the north. One is to contact his family and the other is to visit the king in detail." Xu Qian said that the northern king was Tuoba Gu. He stared at Liu Yan and remained silent for a little while before he continued: "the two families are in laws, but they have their own national interests, but there is no conflict. If the king needs to attack the state of Zhao and expand the territory, he should be prepared for the attack of the state of Yan. If the king wants to gain benefits, he naturally chooses to advance and retreat with the king."
Speaking here, Tuoba Gu had taken out a roll of letters written on silk paper from his arms.
Wang Meng caught it in the past and transmitted it to Liu Yan. Naturally, Liu Yan carefully consulted it word by word.
The letter was written by Shi Yijian of Tuoba. I can't tell from the writing that it was chieftain Hu. The words were gorgeous and rhymed, and even used a lot of allusions to the effect that he was willing to help Liu Yan attack a country, but... Tuoba fought every year. Not only was there a shortage of food and weapons, but also the army was tired and old because of the use of troops every year, but he had to wait for the opportunity.
"My king's wish is to open up the channel with the king, so that the two countries can become close neighbors, form the most sincere allies, exchange needed goods and make another effort." With humility on his face, Xu Qian said, "the king wants to recover the old land of the Han family. Naturally, my king will not touch an inch of the old land of the Han family, but he wants the king to help my king become the overlord of the grassland after recovering the old land of the Han family. In this way, the two countries will always form an alliance."
Originally, Liu Yan thought he knew what Tuoba shiyijian wanted to do. After reading the letter, he passed Xu Qian's words, but he didn't understand it. If he didn't understand this, he had to look at Tuoba Gu.
"That's right." Tuoba was also direct and said, "my brother wants to attack Youzhou and plunder grain, fodder and military capital during the war between you and Shi bin. Depending on the situation, if the two armies can join Youzhou and send troops to Liaodong together, if they can't join, they will return to the grassland."
Liu Yan blinked: "no ordnance, no food?"
Tuoba Gu waved his hand again and again: "how can you? If you haven't paid off your debt, how can you owe it again."
Xu Qian also said, "there is absolutely no such meaning. It is because my king feels that he should try his best to repay human kindness and benefit from Youzhou. It is also good for my king."
In fact, Liu Yan doesn't know what kind of person Tuoba shiyijian is. He generally knows that he is a person with tenacious character and no lack of tolerance. It doesn't mean that he will think Tuoba shiyijian is really that simple, especially when it comes to national affairs.
It makes sense that Tuoba shiyijian wants to sneak into the rear while Shi Bin's Youzhou army and Han army fight. After all, it must be empty for Shi Bin's army to go south. Tuoba shiyijian still has a great chance to make a profit, but there is another Murong Yanguo still waiting for it.
Tuoba saw Liu Yan meditating on his face, so he simply said another big truth: "in order to achieve the goal of raiding the rear, we must wait for Yan Jun to attack the territory of Han in Eastern Liaoning, or even Yan Jun to attack goguryo again. We just act according to the circumstances, we may not be able to do it accurately, but there will be nothing wrong with telling you in advance."
Liu Yan didn't recall much about what Tuoba had done in the original history. Of course, he couldn't recall anything. Moreover, he has made a mess of history. Even what Tuoba did on behalf of Congress in history is not sure whether it will be repeated.
"Brother-in-law has a heart." What else can Liu Yan say besides this? He straightened his face and had to ask again, "really don't want ordnance or food?"
Tuoba Gu and Xu Qian shook their heads fiercely, and then Tuoba Gu added: "it's not too late to really meet Youzhou and communicate with each other."
With deep confusion, Liu Yan entertained the two for a long time. Later, he specially invited Zhang Zuo and Xie AI together for a big banquet. It was not until late at night that he let the people leave drunk.
During the banquet, Zhang Zuo and Xie AI were sensible people. They only agreed to see each other. They didn't talk about anything in the presence of tuobagu and Xu Qian.
Tuobaxiu came only after the banquet. The first sentence when he arrived said, "don't care what they said, especially the word named Xu Qian. Don't believe a word."
Liu Yan hugged tuobaxiu, "ha ha" smiled and said, "I don't know what they said. Just say that."
"Nothing more than some in laws, brothers, and so on." Tuobaxiu helped the drunken Liu Yan to the couch, Serving Liu Yan, he took off his complicated clothes and half lay down: "I don't know any big truth, but I know that there is no family relationship between countries, just what they need. No matter what country it is, we can't take advantage of us for no reason. The more outsiders come to sweet talk and even sweet words, the more evil intention it must be!"
Liu Yan is a little stunned
