Chapter 25 Wolf Ambition, Angrily Beheading the Envoy
Swish!
When the Turkic envoy outside the hall said this, everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was shocked.
All the civil and military officials present looked outside the hall, as if they wanted to spy on the "equal division of the world" mentioned by the northern barbarian envoy through the heavy hall door.
On the dragon throne, Chen Huaian, who listened to the arrogant words of the Turkic envoy, also became interested and immediately ordered: "Xiao Po, let them in!"
"I want to hear how your Timur Khan is going to give me a great wealth of equal division of the world!"
"I have received your order!"
Outside the hall, Xiao Po, the commander of the Royal Palace Jinwu Guard, who was wearing brand new golden armor and a short sword tied around his waist, immediately accepted the order.
Then, he signaled dozens of Jinwu Guard soldiers outside the hall to put away their swords, and then made a gesture of invitation to the leading Turkic envoy, and said with a fake smile:
"Please come in!"
Hmph!
The Turkic envoy snorted coldly, and his face full of flesh showed the look of a winner. He walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his nose in the air.
When he passed by Xiao Po, he bumped into him intentionally or unintentionally.
Looking at the arrogant and rude back of the Turkic man, Xiao Po looked down on him, thinking that in the early years, your uncle Xiao had beheaded no less than fifty heads of northern barbarians with bull nose rings on their ears in his military tent.
If it weren't for the King of Jin's words, Uncle Xiao really wouldn't mind adding another head with a bull nose ring on its ear to the military tent.
Let's get back to the story.
When this arrogant Turkic envoy walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he instantly attracted the attention of a group of civil officials and military generals in the hall.
In addition to wearing a combat uniform made of tough leather and iron sheets, he also wore a helmet with a shape similar to the wolf's teeth on the grassland, and various mysterious and strange totems were inlaid on his wrist guards and knee pads.
Facing the gazes of the civil and military officials in the hall, the Turkic envoy accepted them calmly.
Even when he came to the hall and faced Jin Wang Chen Huaian who was sitting on the dragon throne in the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Turkic envoy still had that arrogant and arrogant attitude.
Even when he met Chen Huaian, he even skipped the kneeling ceremony, just clenched his left fist across his chest and bowed slightly to show his respect, and then said arrogantly:
"The envoy of the Turkic Empire Timur Khan Huo Bo Gui Tian pays homage to His Royal Highness Jin Wang!"
The other Turkic people in the envoy group did the same, just clenched their left fist across their chest and bowed slightly to show their respect to Jin Wang Chen Huaian.
"Hey!"
"You bold lunatic, why don't you kneel down to see His Royal Highness Jin Wang?"
The arrogant attitude of Huo Ba Gui Tian and his group of northern barbarians when facing Chen Huaian immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the generals of the Po Lu Army.
The brave general Pang Xianchu was the first to stand up, pointing at Huobo Guitian and angrily scolding:
"If I remember correctly, after the battle of Yumuchuan and Onon River ten years ago, all the Turkic tribes in the entire Mobei grassland bowed to the Daxin Dynasty and regarded Daxin as their suzerain!"
"You are just messengers from a vassal state. When you meet the King of Daxin, you dare not kneel down and bow. You have no order of seniority and no distinction between superiors and subordinates. According to the laws of Daxin, you will be caned thirty times in court!"
"Come here!"
At Pang Xianchu's command, Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, immediately led dozens of golden armored soldiers to the hall and waited for further orders.
Pang Xianchu said sternly: "Drag these northern barbarians who do not distinguish between superiors and subordinates out and cane them thirty times in court!"
"I have received your order!"
Xiao Po did not waste words. With the attitude of capturing the king first, he immediately rushed forward and grabbed Huobo Guitian's neck with his arm at lightning speed.
With a little effort, Huo Bo Gui Tian, who was big and fat, was knocked over. He didn't even give Huo Bo Gui Tian a chance to speak. He put one arm around his neck and dragged his fat body out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The scene was exactly like a butcher killing a pig during the Chinese New Year.
The other Turkic barbarians were not much better. Before they could figure out what was going on, they were knocked down by the fierce and invincible Jinwu Guards and thrown to the ground. Then they were all dragged out of the hall by their necks like pigs.
"Okay, let them go!"
Finally, Chen Huaian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, spoke: "How can you drag and shove in the hall? Mobei is a wild land, and the people are ignorant and stupid. How can I be on the same level with them!"
"Let that guy Guitian go to the hall to talk!"
Chen Huaian waved his hand, and the Jinwu Guards released the group of Turks on the spot. The latter hurriedly gasped for fresh air subconsciously, and finally looked at the dragon throne with a bit of fear.
Chen Huaian knew very well that the Turks must have something in their hands that they thought they could not refuse, so that a messenger from the Mobei Turks dared to show such a fearless attitude when facing him.
Otherwise, even if this guy called Guitian was uncivilized, he would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of him, the King of Jin, and in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Jin Palace.
However, the name of this Turkic envoy was really not good. Why call him Guitian?
Soon, Huobo Guitian, the Turkic envoy who was almost out of breath by Xiao Po, hurriedly walked up the steps to the hall and faced Chen Huaian head-on.
This time, Huobo Guitian learned his lesson and did not dare to show his arrogant attitude again.
Instead, he stood respectfully in front of Chen Huaian, took out two letters from the lining of his leather combat uniform, and handed one of them to Chen Huaian first, saying:
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, please take a look at this first!"
Chen Huaian took the letter from Huobo Guitian's hand, took a look at it, and his expression suddenly became serious and solemn, and even his lazy sitting posture stood up unconsciously.
On this letter, the general seal of the Great Xin Dynasty, which symbolizes the power and status of the Great Xin Dynasty in the northwest region, was listed, which was particularly eye-catching.
The first line of the letter was the words written by the Great Khan of the Turkic Empire, Timur.
Chen Huaian concentrated and held his breath to read the handwritten letter written by Wu Qingyun, the general of the Great Xin Dynasty in the northwest, to the Great Khan of the Turkic Empire, Timur. The content of the letter made his back cold and angry.
In order to avenge the defeat in Longcheng, the thief Wu Qingyun secretly communicated with the Turks who were eyeing the border of Daxin.
He offered generous conditions to borrow troops from Timur, and for his own personal grudge, he completely ignored the lives of innocent people in the 28 counties and cities of Shuobei.
He even opened the gates of Shuobei and let the wolf in, completely forgetting the tragic situation of the Central Plains when the Five Barbarians invaded China half a century ago, when corpses were everywhere and nine out of ten houses of the Chinese nation were empty.
In the letter, Wu Qingyun offered Timur the price that the money, food, treasures and women in the 28 counties and cities of Shuobei would belong to Timur.
The corresponding price was to borrow 50,000 Turkic cavalry from Timur to go south to Longcheng to help him eliminate Chen Huaian.
This old man knew that his Yunzhou cavalry could not compete with the Iron Pagoda of Longcheng, so he borrowed troops from the Turks at the cost of the lives and property of millions of soldiers and civilians at the Shuobei border.
He even risked Timur's march southwards and slaughtered tens of millions of people in the Central Plains to put himself to death.
It seems that he overestimated the humanity of Wu Qingyun, the old man, and overestimated his conscience as a member of the Chinese nation.
While Chen Huaian was lost in thought while looking at the contents of the letter, Huo Bo Gui Tian, as Timur's envoy, was also looking at the changes in the expression on the face of the young prince in front of him.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised unconsciously, and a trace of complacency flashed in his pupils.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Huo Bo Gui Tian took out another letter and handed it to Chen Huaian, saying:
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, take a look at this, it is a handwritten letter from our Great Khan Timur to your Highness!"
Hearing this, Chen Huaian took the handwritten letter from Timur from Huo Bo Gui Tian again with a cold look in his eyes.
"Prince Jin Huaian, I am writing to you as if I were in person:"
"I was shocked to hear that Prince Jin Polu had passed away. I had fought with Prince Jin Polu on the battlefield for decades. We were enemies but also confidants..."
In Timur's handwritten letter, he first exaggerated the close relationship between him and the late king Chen Polu.
The two had fought on the battlefield for more than ten years simply because they served different masters and had different positions. If it were not for the war, they would have been confidants who drank and talked happily.
Timur also hated the sudden death of Chen Polu and what Zhao Gan, the second emperor of the Great Xin Dynasty, did to the widow of Prince Jin's mansion.
Timur expressed his empathy for Chen Huaian's heroic feat of raising troops in Longcheng to fight against the rebellion in the south, and was willing to help Chen Huaian overthrow the tyranny of Zhao Gan, the second emperor.
Here comes the key point:
"Prince Huaian of Jin, the new emperor who succeeded to the throne is so incompetent, and there are treacherous people in the court. The people of Daxin are already suffering.
Since you have already raised an army in Longcheng, why don't you take advantage of the situation to overthrow Zhao Gan's tyranny? This Khan is willing to send 100,000 troops to the south to help you sweep across Daxin and ascend the throne of the emperor!"
"After the matter is accomplished, the world of Daxin will be divided equally between you and me, uncle and nephew, with the Yellow River as the dividing line, and the north and south will be ruled by the river.
The rich land in the south will belong to my nephew Huaian, and this Khan only wants to live in peace north of the Yellow River and find a place for countless Turkic people who have been through the bitter cold of Mobei for a long time to settle down!"
After reading Timur's handwritten letter, Chen Huaian almost laughed out of anger.
This old thing has a lot of beautiful words, but his wolfish ambition to destroy China behind the scenes is obvious. This trick of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf is very clever!
First, release all the news and the price Wu Qingyun offered for trying to borrow the Turkic cavalry to go south to Longcheng.
Then tell Chen Huaian that you can choose to cooperate with me, and then make a lion's mouth and offer a price that everyone will divide the world equally after the success, and wait for Chen Huaian to bargain.
With the price Wu Qingyun offered for the money, food, treasures and women of the 28 counties in Shuobei, if you, Chen Huaian, don't want to be eaten up, you can only offer a higher price to seek cooperation with the Turkic Empire.
Then, tell Wu Qingyun the price Chen Huaian offered intact.
Next, just wait for Chen Huaian and Wu Qingyun to fight each other, so that the Turkic Empire will be invincible and wait for the price, and finally see which side offers the higher price before deciding who to cooperate with.
At this point, Chen Huaian finally understood why Timur, who was beaten by his father Chen Polu in the battle of Yumuchuan and Onon River in Mobei and was left with only thirteen people and thirteen sets of armor, could rise again in just ten years and become a generation of grassland overlord.
This man is very scheming, cunning, and politically skilled. He has hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry elite soldiers at his disposal, which is much more difficult to deal with than Wu Qingyun and Chang Chenghu!
If Chen Huaian did not have the blessing of the [Born Emperor] system, at this critical moment of life and death, facing Timur's strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf, he would probably really not know what to do.
But now, as the chosen son with 200,000 elite soldiers and the blessing of the [Born to be an Emperor] system, Chen Huaian has no time to bother with the damn Turkic Khan Timur.
You still want to divide the world with me, you are dreaming!
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers.
For Timur's threat, Chen Huaian has only one word: "Fight!"
I want to see whether your Timur's Turkish cavalry is stronger or my Dragon City Iron Pagoda and Black Armor Light Cavalry are stronger.
When he thought of this, Chen Huaian immediately looked at the Turkish envoy Huo Bo Gui Tian with a smile on his face, and said jokingly:
"Huo Bo Gui Tian, what if I don't agree to the request made in your letter from the Khan Timur?"
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Huo Bo Gui Tian's expression obviously froze.
Then, the face full of fat regained its arrogant and rude look again, as if it had taken Chen Huaian by surprise, and said arrogantly:
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, if that's the case, then don't blame our Khan for choosing to cooperate with your country's Northwest General Wu Qingyun!"
"When the war horses of my Turkic Empire trample through Dragon City, everything will be too late!"
After saying that, Huo Bo Gui Tian was furious and wanted to snatch the two letters from Chen Huaian's hands.
Especially the one with the seal of the Northwest General, which was the ironclad evidence of Wu Qingyun's treason and was the key to Timur's control of Wu Qingyun in the future, so it naturally couldn't fall into Chen Huaian's hands.
And how could Chen Huaian return the two letters to Huo Bo Gui Tian?
He just swerved slightly and avoided Huo Bo Gui Tian's fat body that was rushing towards him with all his strength.
Then he gently pushed the latter, who lost his balance, and fell flat on his face in the hall.
Huobo Guitian rolled up from the ground, drew his sword in a rage, and roared:
"Chen Huaian, since you have no intention of cooperating with the Turkic Empire, please return the letter to me!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
As he said that, Huobo Guitian rushed forward again and swung his sword at Chen Huaian.
In the hall, a group of generals of the Po Lu Army saw this and immediately roared: "Jinwu Guards, protect the emperor!"
Then, they stood up and fought with the Turks who tried to climb up to the hall to help.
In the hall, Chen Huaian continued to move nimbly, causing Huobo Guitian to gasp for air and curse in panic:
"Chen Huaian, your dangerous move will anger Timur Khan and the Turkic Empire!"
"General Wu didn't say it in the letter, but his messenger has already promised us that when we take Dragon City, the Turkic warriors will be allowed to enter the city for three days!"
"He also said that he would personally tie up your mother Xu Ruoyun and the women of the palace to the grassland to accept our Khan's "sheep-leading ceremony"!"
"You wait--"
Puff!
Before Huobo Guitian finished speaking, he felt a flash of sword light in front of his eyes, and his body was torn apart.
The head with angry eyes rolled several meters away, and the word "bar" was finally spoken.
In the hall, Chen Huaian put the unsheathed sword back into the scabbard behind the dragon throne, holding two letters in his hand and said lightly:
"It is said that when two armies are fighting, they should not kill the messengers, but your mouth is too stinky!"
"Also, what other names can you call yourself? You have to call yourself Guitian!"
