After Tuoba Gu entered the tent, he showed a respectful and polite attitude, everything was in accordance with the etiquette of the Han family, and he sat quietly and waited.
Xu Qian is also average, there is absolutely nothing missing in etiquette, even with a hint of flattery.
The attitude of the two made Liu Yan feel a little bad, only if there is a request for talent, it will be such an attitude of respectfulness and courtesy, no desire or no desire to take advantage of it, it will not be like this, after all, the Han State and the Tuoba Dynasty are still separated by a Shijie Zhao State, and no matter how strong the Han State is, it will not be able to threaten the Tuoba Dynasty.
Liu Yan asked Tuoba Gu with a smile in a homely tone: "Have I seen your sister?"
"King Huihan, I've already seen it."
Tuoba Gu's appearance is not much different from the Han people, and Murong Xianbei is the majority of those with Caucasian blood in Xianbei, and he is not as rugged as the Hu people, and he is even very much like a Sven scholar.
He smiled slightly and said, "My sister asked about the dowry, which really made Gu ashamed. ” It was Lu Yi who went to the grassland to receive Tuoba Xiu's dowry, and what happened to the moth "Although there was a relationship that the road was not smooth, it dragged on for more than three years, and he made up two thousand tents and some cattle, horses, and sheep by himself, and when his brother knew about it, he gave five thousand tents and a batch of livestock to him, and some princes more or less gave eight hundred tents."
Tuoba Gu looked really embarrassed: "The latter ones are not considered the dowry given by the elder brother to the younger sister, but just compensation."
When I saw my sister, my sister said that she needed more, but Daiguo was really not rich at the moment, so " The grassland is calculated according to the "account", there are at least four people in one account, and there may be more than seven people, so it is calculated according to the average of five people in one account, which is equivalent to Tuoba Shiyiqian and Tuoba Gu, as well as a number of Tuoba clans, and a total of about 40,000 dowries for Tuoba Xiu.
Liu Yan also believed Tuoba Gu's explanation, with his understanding of Tuoba Xiu, it was natural to want to ask for more dowry, it was not a woman who was polite to her mother's family.
Since it is a dowry, whether it is according to the Han family etiquette or Xianbei values, in fact, no matter how much the Tuoba clan pays, nothing belongs to Liu Yan, it belongs to Tuoba Xiu, and Tuoba Xiu should be the next generation if he has an heir, and it cannot be regarded as the property of the Han royal family.
Naturally, if Tuoba Xiu is willing to let Liu Yan use it, there will be nothing, but the ownership is still Tuoba Xiu's.
"A dowry is a dowry, not a debt payment."
Tuoba said solemnly: "We all know this very clearly. ” It is rare to give 40,000 princesses and a large number of livestock as a dowry on the grassland, it can be said that the Tuoba clan is already very generous, and it is rare that they also deliberately explain that the debt is a debt, and there is no meaning to owe debts, which is very interesting.
Last time Princess Xianbei got married, Murong Hao, who was married to her daughter, was actually quite generous, giving Tuoba Shi Yijian 5,000 tents, 40,000 horses, 5,000 cows, 200,000 sheep, and a lot of furs and the like.
With this batch of dowry, Tuoba Shi Yijian has more than a little chance of winning when he competes with his third brother Tuoba Qu for the boss of the Tuoba clan, and the current leader of the Tuoba Dynasty is Tuoba Shi Yijian, but that is also because of the strong support of the fourth Tuoba Gu. is also married to Murong Hao's daughter Yuwen Xianbei, Yuwen Yidou got only one-tenth of the dowry of Tuoba Shiyi.
Yuwen Yidou did not complain less after the comparison, and it turned out to be an excuse for Murong Hao's crusade.
Now Yuwen Xianbei has actually been destroyed and split into nine parts, of which Kumo Xi is the later Khitan.
Yuwen Yidougui first fled to Mobei, and then was accepted by Shi Hu, first served under Shi Bin, and then ran to Goguryeo for unknown reasons, which was also the reason why Murong Xianbei attacked Goguryeo for the second time.
The truth is that Yuwen Yidougui has a daughter who is married to Goguryeo's former king, Gao Zhao.
Not only is he an in-law with Goguryeo, but he is actually related to Tuoba Xianbei, Murong Xianbei, and Duan's Xianbei, but others didn't scruple about that when they beat Yuwen Xianbei.
In view of the "Xianbei truth" that marriage is used to beat each other and play, Liu Yan, who knows this very well, will not really regard the friendship of the Tuoba clan as something more affectionate than Jin Jian, and seems to be warmly entertained, but Chi is unwilling to talk about letting Tuoba Daiguo attack Shijie Zhao State or Murong Xianbei.
Family affection doesn't seem to work, so isn't it time to change your strategy?
Tuoba retreated and replaced Xu Qian on the field.
Xu Qian is a very important role in the Tuoba Dynasty, although his official position is only Lang Zhongling, but he presides over the establishment of the law that belongs to the Tuoba Dynasty, and Yan Feng is called Shuangjie.
When he assisted Tuoba Shi Yijian, he was not at his peak, and he had to experience the destruction of the Tuoba Dynasty by Fu Jian and the former Qin, and help Tuoba Xianbei to rebuild the Northern Wei Dynasty.
At this time, Xu Qian had already shown his talents, and because of his young age, he did not have a sense of heaviness.
He first praised Liu Yan's rapid expansion of the Han Kingdom, and then vaguely raised the problem that it was precisely because the expansion was too fierce that there were many enemies.
"My king is far away in the grassland, and he is an in-law with the king, so he should be closer."
Xu Qian didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and after a few idle words, he said: "Seriously, the minister is also the minister of the king, and the king is no different from my king." ” Liu Yan nodded with a smile and cooperated: "Then I don't know what to suggest."
"Tell the king, the minister came with the king of the north this time, one is to contact the family, and the other is to consult with the king."
The king of the north that Xu Qian said was Tuoba Gu.
He looked at Liu Yan and was silent for a while before continuing: "The two families are in-laws, but they have their own national interests, but there is no conflict between them.
If the king needs to attack the Zhao State to expand the territory, and to guard against the attack of the Yan State, my king naturally chooses to advance and retreat with the king if he wants to obtain benefits. ” While he was talking, Tuoba Gu had already taken out a scroll of letters written on silk paper from his bosom.
Wang Meng went over to catch it and handed it to Liu Yan, who naturally read it carefully word by word.
The letter was written by Tuoba Shi Yijian himself, and it was really impossible to see that it was Chief Hu when he looked at the text, and the words were gorgeous and rhyming, and even used a lot of allusions, to the effect that he was willing to assist Liu Yan in attacking a certain country, but Ma Tuoba Dynasty fought every year, not only was there a shortage of grain and weapons from time to time, but also because of the annual use of soldiers, the soldiers were tired and old, but they had to wait for the opportunity.
"It is the will of our king to open the passage with the king, so that the two countries may become close neighbors, and form the most sincere allies, exchange what they have, and make every effort to make one place."
Xu Qian's face was full of humility and said: "The king wants to restore the old land of the Han family, and my king will naturally 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 be in alliance. ” Originally, Liu Yan thought that he understood what Tuoba Shi Yijian wanted to do, but after reading the letter, he didn't understand Xu Qian's words.
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 while you and Shi Bin are fighting, and plunder grain and military supplies.
Then, depending on the situation, if the two armies can join Youzhou and jointly send troops to Liaodong, if they can't, they will retreat to the grassland. ” Liu Yan blinked: "No ordnance, no grain" Tuoba Gu waved his hand again and again: "How can I be, I haven't paid off my debts, how can I owe it again." ” Xu Qian also said: "There is absolutely no such meaning, my king feels that he has received a lot of help from the king, so he should do his best."
Try your best to repay the favor, and you can also get benefits from Youzhou, which can be regarded as beneficial to my king. ” In fact, Liu Yan doesn't know what kind of person Tuoba Shi Yijian is, and roughly understands that he is a person with a strong character and no lack of bearing, but it doesn't mean that he thinks that Tuoba Shi Yijian is really that simple, especially when it comes to national affairs.
It makes sense that Tuoba Shi Yijian wanted to take advantage of Shi Bin's Youzhou army and the Han army to sneak attack the rear, after all, Shi Bin's army must be empty in the rear when it goes south, and Tuoba Shi Yijian still has a great chance of making a profit, but there is still a Murong Yan country still waiting for him.

Tuoba Gu saw Liu Yan's contemplative face, so he simply said the truth: "In order to achieve the goal of raiding the rear, it must be necessary to wait for the Yan army to attack the territory of the Han State in Liaodong, or even for the Yan army to attack Goguryeo again."
We just do it when we see the opportunity, and we don't necessarily do it accurately, but there is nothing wrong with telling you beforehand. ” Liu Yan didn't have much in his mind about what the Tuoba Dynasty had done in the original history, and it was natural that he couldn't recall anything.
Moreover, he has made a mess of history, and even if it is what the Tuoba Congress did in history, he is not sure whether it will be repeated.
"Uncle has a heart."
What else can Liu Yan say besides this, his face straightened, and he had to ask again: "I really don't want ordnance or grain."
Tuoba Gu and Xu Qian both shook their heads violently, and Tuoba Gu added a sentence later: "If you can really meet Youzhou, it is not too late to communicate with each other." ” With deep confusion, Liu Yan entertained the two of them for a short time, and then specially invited Zhang Zuo and Xie Ai to have a big banquet together, and it was not until late at night that everyone left drunk.
During the banquet, Zhang Zuo and Xie Ai were considered to be sensible people, and they only agreed to meet, and did not talk about anything in front of Tuoba Gu and Xu Qian.
Tuoba Xiu came over after the banquet, and the first thing he said when he arrived: "No matter what they say, especially the words of Xu Qian, don't believe a word." ” Liu Yan hugged Tuoba Xiu, "hehe" and said with a smile: "I don't know what they said, you just said that." ” "It's nothing more than some kind of in-laws, what brothers, what and whatever."
Tuoba Xiu helped Liu Yan, who was a little drunk, to the side of the couch, and served Liu Yan to take off his complicated clothes and half-lie down: "The concubine doesn't know any big truth, but she knows that there is no family affection between countries at all, it is nothing more than what they need."
No matter what country it is, it can't take advantage of us for no reason.
The more sweet or even clever words come from outsiders, the more evil intentions must be harbored."
Liu Yan was a little stunned:
