Chapter 353 Brothers are in the Wall
Since Bayan came to surrender sincerely, Xiaoshuai gave him a seat. Bayan drank a sip of black tea, wiped his mouth, and clasped his fists at Xiaoshuai, "We Rouran people were originally branches of the Xianbei Tuoba clan, and they had unified the Mobei region and had always been respectful to the Central Plains dynasty."
Xiaoshuai didn't know what Tuoba was, and he was not a history expert. He just went through time to the Tang Dynasty and studied the history of the Tang Dynasty specifically, and his previous history was a mess.
However, the Changsun family is a Xianbei person. Since Rouran is a branch of the Xianbei person, it has a good relationship with the Han people. Xiaoshuai believed Bayan's words for seven or eight layers.
Chen Cheng shook his head. He was a genuine Jinshi. He knew the history of the previous dynasty well and knew much better than Xiaoshuai. "Roran had fought with the Northern Wei for many years, how could he say he was obedient to the Central Plains dynasty?"
Now the Xianbei people have basically integrated into the Han people, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is considered an orthodox dynasty, so Chen Cheng has this saying.
However, Bayan did not think so, "The Northern Wei was the Xianbei regime, and our conflict with the Northern Wei was just a conflict within the Xianbei people. Our Rouran was in harmony with the Later Qin and Northern Yan, and also paid tribute to the Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty.
The reason why we came to Europe was that our vassal, Forsaken Turks suddenly became stronger. In order to escape the conquest of the Turks, we went westward and conquered the Sabi people, Uighurs, and Bulgars one after another.
But the Western Turks pursued us relentlessly and fled to the Balkans before they settled down. We have always longed for the Orthodox dynasty of the East to be our sect leader.
Now the Tang Dynasty is powerful, and has eliminated our old enemy, the Turks, and avenged us. We hope to return to the Tang Dynasty like babies and parents..."
Xiaoshuai seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere. These oriental survivors all had this set of words, and seemed to have a great admiration for the Tang Dynasty and wished they could be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty immediately.
Humph, if I hadn't brought 150,000 people to come, Bayan would have been in Europe and would have been "like a baby looking forward to his parents" to the Tang Dynasty? Anyway, Xiaoshuai would not believe it.
But now people say this to Xiaoshuai. Xiaoshuai was about to comfort her, but Chen Cheng suddenly interrupted, "No!
Bayan, the history you said about Rouran is correct, but both the Xianbei people and the Rouran people have eastern holes, yellow skin and dark eyes. You have high noses and deep eyes, white faces and yellow beards, and pretend to be Rouran people. Europeans don’t understand, but I don’t believe it.”
"This..." The lie was exposed, and Bayan was a little embarrassed, "That's right, we are indeed Rouran people, and we have the blood of the Rouran royal family.
We, Rouran, have always been subordinates. My ancestor, Dahan, three wives, are the daughters of Brahmins of the Royal Rouran clan…”
"So you are stingy people!" Xiaoshuai finally understood. Chen Cheng grabbed Bayan's flaws and finally asked the truth.
Xiaoshuai, a man from the Tada, knew it, and was called the "White Xiongnu". He once unified the nine surnames of Zhaowu, the eastern part of the former land of Daxia and Persia, and was later destroyed by Persia and Western Turks.
The remaining tribe of Dada still exists in Daxia. It is one of the twenty-seven tribes of Daxia. Among the 100 guards of Xiaoshuai, there are three Dada people.
Xiaoshuai once couldn't figure out why the 'Da people once ruled the vast territory, but now they have become a small tribe with less than 200,000 people left. It turned out that their main force had fled to the West and even pulled the Rouran people's tiger skin.
The relationship between Dada and Rouran is just like the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty in later generations. The Jurchens were once a tribe under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. Later, when the Jurchens were revived, they wore the tiger skin of the Jin Dynasty and called themselves the Later Jin Dynasty. Anyway, they once belonged to the Jin Dynasty, which is reasonable.
However, the Later Jin Dynasty was only affiliated with the Jin Dynasty. The people of the Dada people at least married the Rouran royal family, and their descendants called themselves Rouran people, which was even more reasonable.
Xiaoshuai called Murah and gave her a few instructions. After a while, three Xiaoshuai's guards entered the tent and had a chat with Bayan. Bayan immediately changed his words, "Yes, we are Kaba people."
Your Majesty, you see, the tribesmen left to the east are all your loyal subordinates, and we can do it."
Anyway, Bayan only depends on which one is close to Xiaoshuai, and his willingness to surrender is quite strong.
At this time, Kuborat, the Bulgarian commander next to Xiaoshuai, snorted, "No matter whether you are Rouran or a sir, you have been bullying us Bulgarians anyway.
Now that His Majesty has married Princess Ante, we Bulgarians, you must make good calculations for your bullying us."
This Chief Kuborat is Bubuko's father and Ashalil's father-in-law, who is very organized and leader.
This time he established Bulgaria, and he recruited four Bulgar tribes to join at one time, fully reflecting his diplomatic skills. His name is transliterated and can actually be pronounced as "Kublai", which made Xiaoshuai very afraid.
"Your Majesty, did I, Bayan, have you ever bullied the Bulgarians? Chief Kubrat, think about it, have I bullied you? That was all done by my four brothers.
The Sabi people are going to annex you Bulgars, and I strongly advocate making decisions for you. But those four brothers disagree. My father Khan died, and I am alone and lonely. Isn’t it impossible?”
Xiaoshuai heard it, "So... Old Khan passed away, and the Aval people split into five tribes. You are only one of the five tribes. It cannot represent the entire Aval Khanate. We still have to fight this battle."
"I am the eldest son of my father Khan. Of course I have the power to represent the Aval Khanate. I am the one who defected to His Majesty on behalf of the Aval Khanate. Moreover, I have 20,000 string-controlling warriors under my command, and I am the most powerful of my brothers.
My four bastard brothers have only 60,000 people in total, and they jointly opposed me. They did not know the current affairs and resisted the power of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty conquered them, and I, Bayan, would be the pioneer."
It turns out that this is another story about an old Khan passing away and his brothers competing for the throne. If Xiao Shuai didn't come here at this time, and they won the victory or defeat after a while, Aval would be unified again.
This is a good opportunity to accelerate the conquest process. "Bayan, you are willing to surrender to the Great Yuezhi, I welcome it. However, we have to make it clear first. Are you planning to become a vassal of the Great Yuezhi in the future? Or join the Great Yuezhi and become a part of the Great Yuezhi?"
"I am willing to join the Great Yuezhi." Bayan is very smart. He will definitely not be trusted as a vassal. His people will become second-class people in the Great Yuezhi. The Great Yuezhi is so powerful, does he still have a chance to turn the tables?
It is better to surrender completely, and you can maintain wealth for a long time. If you take a step back, the Great Yuezhi will collapse in the future. Don’t the members of the Kha tribe listen to me, the number one figure in the royal family? It is not a loss to surrender completely.
As the leader, Xiaoshuai saw Bayan's Xiaojiu very clearly. However, Da Yuezhi was created by himself. He was confident that at least when he was there, Da Yuezhi would not collapse. Both sides took their own needs.
"Okay, Bayan, you are a smart man. I now give you the Marquis of Moldova, and go out with the army to surrender Aval subjects who intend to surrender to the Great Yuezhi."
"Thank you for your attention, I am willing to do my best to expand the Great Yuezhi."
"Report! Your Majesty is very happy, born, born." Mura rushed into the tent and ran out of breath. "The Princess Xincheng gave birth to a baby boy and reported it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has a legitimate son and has been named Sulongji by the princess."
"My legitimate son was born? He even named him without my consent? What's the name? Sulongji!?"
