Three
General Mu Haiyang of the Great Wind Camp stepped out of the crowd and knelt before him, awaiting orders
He shook his head slightly: "No wonder my father said that the enemies of the people of the grasslands are not the Easterners, but ourselves"
Bi Mogan waved his hand, signaling him not to say more: "Brother Luo, I do not wish to deceive you. Xu Dahhan is the most capable among my brothers, and I am calling him back now to govern Beidu together with me. We are allies, but I do not want to become a puppet of the Chun Kingdom. As for the matter of mourning, I have thought about it for a long time. After the mourning period, I will announce my ascension to the throne, and the envoys from the Tang Dynasty will inevitably come to Beidu to renew the alliance. However, our allies have now become the Chun Kingdom; how will the Tang Dynasty treat my brother at that time?" After the mourning period, I will announce my ascension to the throne, and the envoys from the Tang Dynasty will inevitably come to Beidu to renew the alliance. However, our allies have now become the Chun Kingdom; how will the Tang Dynasty treat my brother at that time?
He recited softly
The things that the State of Chun desires are no different from those sought by the Lower Tang; we want the City of Tianqi said Luo Ziyan淡淡地
Whether to watch the distant fire quietly or not: "The Luo brothers are from the East Land, yet they speak such words. Are they standing from the perspective of the Chun Kingdom, or from the perspective of Qingyang?"
As for you," Bimogan looked at the sinners down the slope, "as long as you are willing to follow my banner, I will not kill you and will forgive all your sins. Although you have lost your property and cattle, you are still nobles. From now on, you will be incorporated into the army, and you can clear your names through military achievements. We are all members of the Pasur family, and there is no need for us to fight among ourselves; our blades should be directed together towards outsiders.
Bimo Gan patted Luo Ziyan on the shoulder and said: "I know that Brother Luo would say that sacrificing an Asule would bring me greater benefits. But there is no need to say anything; I have made a great promise to someone regarding the matter of Asule. Brother Luo, you should remember that I once said our barbarian people do not possess the priceless jade discs like those in the Eastern Continent, but we have promises that are worth more than gold!"
No matter what one lives for, one will ultimately die. The Little Prince
"After the grand wedding, the sovereign's heart has softened considerably, their spirit has grown significantly, and their mind has broadened greatly." However, Luo Ziyan did not kneel, but simply smiled
Are you willing to follow my banner, heed my commands, and fight the enemy with my treasured blade?" Bimogan suddenly raised his voice, resembling a roar
The great Khan Zengertai said, "My magnificent king, you hold the fiery sword in your hand; when you wield it against your enemies, they perish. If you cast it aside, it will burn the grasslands of your kin." Luo Ziyan took over Bimogan's words and sighed softly, "In the Eastern Land, I have arrogantly claimed to have heard the teachings of the sages and read countless books, yet no passage has ever shaken me so profoundly. In truth, the most genuine principles in this world are also the simplest. My lord, whether it is Lord Liang Qiu or yourself, you both wield the fiery sword. If you do not slay your enemies to expand your territory, you will not even be able to protect your own land."
More than a decade ago, I was sent on a mission to the Northern Capital by Lord Liang Qiuhou. Before my departure, I read all the barbarian texts I could find, as I wanted to understand the affairs of the grasslands. Now, after so many years, I have forgotten much, but this passage remains etched in my heart. The Great Lord of the "Chronicles of King Xun" is even more familiar with it than I am. Do you still remember how King Xun responded?
Bi Mogang's gaze flickered. Luo Ziyan was inexplicably startled; in his daze, he had an illusion that there should be a chilling white haze in those eyes before him, as if they belonged to a white-eyed eagle. He felt that after the night the boss Jun died, Bi Mogang underwent a significant change
Bimo Gan remained silent
O king, you must harbor hatred towards the enemies of your territory
This world has only been illuminated by his sunlight 1
"Brother Luo, what do you think my father lived for in his lifetime?" Bi Mogan said softly, "I thought I had figured it out, but now I feel I was wrong. There is still so much I do not understand"
This is a poem from "The Tale of the Surrendered King," in which the great Khan Zun Ge Er Tai persuades the Surrendered King not to show mercy to the yielding enemy
What if what I desire is the most prosperous Wanzhou
Then the official mourning will begin tomorrow? Inform everyone on the grasslands, and also notify the Emperor of Tianqi City that the new sovereign has ascended the throne. The Emperor of the Eastern Land should be on alert; after the Emperor of Fengyan, the tribes have endured seventy years under the heavy pressure of the Eastern Land. Now, the Eastern Land has begun to weaken, the Emperor is incompetent, and the ministers are usurping power. Meanwhile, the Northern Land has welcomed a young and capable sovereign; we must immediately prepare to win the hearts of the people in the Northern Land. The people of the grasslands will rise, and the day will soon come when the sovereign of the Northern Land can stand and speak as an equal with the Emperor of the Eastern Land!" Luo Ziyan raised his voice. The Northern Land has welcomed a young and capable sovereign; we must immediately prepare to win the hearts of the people in the Northern Land. The people of the grasslands will rise, and the day will soon come when the sovereign of the Northern Land can stand and speak as an equal with the Emperor of the Eastern Land!" Luo Ziyan raised his voice.
"Is there really land in this world that originally belongs to the Pasur family?" Luo Ziyan smiled and shrugged, "Just as there is no land in this world that originally belongs to Liang Qiuhou. The vastness of the Nine Provinces is the battlefield left by the gods for the common people. We all consider ourselves to be fierce beasts, unwilling to become the prey of others, and we strive to occupy our own territory. Only fierce beasts can become partners with one another. If I claim to assist the sovereign purely as a friend, can the sovereign believe my words?" We all consider ourselves to be fierce beasts, unwilling to become the prey of others, and we strive to occupy our own territory. Only fierce beasts can become partners with one another. If I claim to assist the sovereign purely as a friend, can the sovereign believe my words?
he triumphantly waved his precious sword
Bi Mogan turned to look at Luo Ziyan and said: "Ten years ago, the influence of the Eastern Land infiltrated the Northern Capital, and the Chun Kingdom and the Xia Tang Kingdom each put forth their conditions. In the end, my father chose the Xia Tang Kingdom, while I chose the Chun Kingdom. Now that the Chun Kingdom has made the right bet, we are allies from this point forward. But I want to know, what does Liang Qiuhou hope to gain by supporting us?"
You are to take my hand令 and personally visit the southern pastures, to pardon the crimes of Xuda Khan, return his cattle, sheep, and people to him, and allow him to return to the Northern Capital. You shall inform him that my conflict with him has come to an end, and as long as he follows my banner, he will still be my brother. The news of our father's passing shall not be announced for the time being; once Asule returns, the five of us brothers will conduct the grandest ceremony to send our father's soul to the palace of the Panbatian God to enjoy peace.
The sinners did not expect such treatment awaiting them; their hearts were filled with nothing but pitch-black despair, yet someone suddenly opened the window, allowing sunlight to pour in. For a moment, it was silent, and no one dared to speak
After a long silence, Bimo Gan took a deep breath and nodded slightly
Luo Ziyan spoke slowly: "We do not merely regard Qingyang as an ally supported by cavalry. Before I came here, Liang Qiuhou instructed me to convey a message to Your Grace: those who cooperate with us must be heroes. We look forward to someone sharing the Eastern Land with us! Your Grace, the time has come; the cavalry should not be used solely to defend the Northern Capital, but should venture out to expand our territory. I can promise on behalf of Liang Qiuhou that on the day he enters Tianqi City, we will allocate a province of the Eastern Land as a pasture for Qingyang!" Your Grace, the time has come; the cavalry should not be used solely to defend the Northern Capital, but should venture out to expand our territory. I can promise on behalf of Liang Qiuhou that on the day he enters Tianqi City, we will allocate a province of the Eastern Land as a pasture for Qingyang!
Mu Haiyang!" Bi Mogan shouted in a low voice.
Bi Mogan's gaze dimmed. He turned around and continued to gaze at the great fire: "Taking advantage of the conflicts between us brothers, to support me in becoming the great lord of the Northern Capital, handing over the land that originally belongs to our Pasur family to me, in exchange for the support of the Qingyang cavalry, thus gaining an advantage in the struggle among the Eastern Land lords, the deal proposed by Marquis Liang Qiuhou is quite favorable. But what can Qingyang gain from this? Brother Luo, you know that the grasslands of Hanzhou are very barren; growing food here yields less than one-tenth of what we would get in the Eastern Land. Therefore, for many years we have migrated and grazed, living a hard life. But what can Qingyang gain from this? Brother Luo, you know that the grasslands of Hanzhou are very barren; growing food here yields less than one-tenth of what we would get in the Eastern Land. Therefore, for many years we have migrated and grazed, living a hard life. We are caught up in the struggles of the Eastern Land lords, deploying our strongest cavalry, yet we still only have this patch of grassland and our cattle and sheep."
Luo Ziyuan was momentarily taken aback, then smiled: "I have never boasted in front of the sovereign that I am a loyal minister and filial son, have I? Luo Ziyuan is someone who wishes to overturn the political situation in the Eastern Land. What I say is from the perspective of the State of Chun."
At the same time, you must learn this rule from the sun
The three nobles knelt in surprise, expressing their gratitude for this astonishing reward. This was the entire wealth of the three slain khans—the population and livestock of the Qingyang tribe, which Bimogan did not appropriate for himself but instead distributed to the nobles who immediately pledged their loyalty to him. Luo Ziyan furrowed his brow slightly but said nothing. His original intention was for Bimogan to immediately take possession of these assets to strengthen his own power. However, he also understood that Bimogan had no choice but to act this way. The three nobles came from the three major families of Talihan, Tuokele, and Wochijin, which ranked just below the Lü family of Pasuer and the Chao family of Heluding in the Qingyang tribe. Their support could enable Bimogan to quickly solidify his position in the Northern Capital, thereby intimidating other tribes at the Kurige Conference.
Luo Ziyan knew that he could not change this matter, so he could only let out a soft sigh, turn his head, and look into the distance. There, a luxurious carriage was parked, with a brocade canopy and sheer curtains, tightly covering it. Luo Ziyan focused to listen, and from behind the sheer curtains came a clear and delicate tinkling sound.
According to the customs of Donglu... one party breaks the alliance, and the hostage is beheaded said Luo Ziyan
Because he descended from his throne
Luo Ziyan cast a glance at Bimogan, feeling a stir in his heart, and changed his address: "Your Highness need not be sorrowful. As the Lord of the Northern Lands, what you are meant to receive in this life, I believe your father knew before his passing. Now that you are the Lord of the Northern Lands, you will soon come to know as well"
A pile of firewood was erected on the snowy slope, and amidst the resonant sounds of the copper horn and the Kui drum, the great Hesa brandished a bear knife and sang the "Hymn of Worship." The slaves knelt from the bottom of the slope to the top, raising their hands high as they passed the wrapped remains of the great lord, encased in horsehide, hand by hand. The great Hesa cast down the fire starter, and the firewood soaked in oil quickly transformed into a blazing torch, illuminating the eyes of the distant prince and also the faces of the bandits at the foot of the slope. Behind each of them stood a member of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, with a knife pointed at the back of their necks; should there be any resistance, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would not hesitate to pierce their throats. These individuals were all family members of the three rebellious khans, who had conspired to incite a rebellion in the Northern Capital but were suppressed in time by the great prince. According to the customs of the steppe, such a grave crime warranted being stuffed into a leather bag and trampled to death by horses.
"Predictions and demands!" Luo Ziyuan spoke decisively, yet smiled gently, "Only the land of Tianqi City cannot be ceded to the Great Lord, for that is where the imperial power of the Eastern Land resides"
Luo Ziyan was taken aback, as this matter had not been communicated to him in advance by Bi Mogan. He hurriedly approached, leaning close to Bi Mogan's ear: "These two matters are of great significance, Your Majesty, think carefully! The late Great Lord, on his deathbed, held Your Majesty's hand in front of everyone to pass on the throne, and also declared that the three Great Khans are all rebels, making Your Majesty the rightful heir. It is imperative to immediately send envoys to announce this to all directions; concealing the news at this time would lead people to believe that Your Majesty's ascension is unjust. Pardoning Khan Xuda is not without merit, but I have an important piece of information that I have not yet had the chance to convey to Your Majesty...

Pardoning Khan Xuda is not without merit, but I have an important piece of information that I have not yet had the chance to convey to Your Majesty..."
King Xun said, "My friend, the winged lion, His Majesty Geltai the Great Khan, do you advise me to guard the scorched earth with flames?"
He stepped forward, pointing at the people kneeling down the slope, and looked at the three nobles beside him: "These people are all sinners who attempted to kill me and usurp my power. I will now strip them of their slaves, ranches, and cattle, and bestow them upon you."
This poem is rewritten in the third chapter of the third part of Zhi Fei Ni's "The History of the World - Conqueror", where the Mongolian kings and the secretive ones persuade Khan Mongke to punish the rebels
The sinners were momentarily stunned, then all bowed down. They shouted for the great lord, some prostrated themselves, while others wept aloud. The Ninth Prince, commanding the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, raised his sword in salute to Bimogan on the hillside, but Bimogan did not look at him; he merely gazed at the sky, listening to the rising waves of shouts. The slaves knelt down, the warriors knelt down, the generals knelt down, and the envoys of the Chun Kingdom also knelt down. In the end, the Ninth Prince knelt down. The slaves knelt down, the warriors knelt down, the generals knelt down, and the envoys of the Chun Kingdom also knelt down. In the end, the Ninth Prince knelt down
Bimo Gan nodded quietly
