Chapter 24 The Prairie Swan
‘Woo~Woo~’
The sound of trumpets spread throughout the Turkic camps. This is the sound of trumpets that the Khan of Qimin summoned tribe leaders. The Turks lived in tribes. There were small tribes in the large tribes, and there were also subdivisions in the small tribes, with blood ties as a bond.
There are many tribes of all sizes. Qimin Khan was born in the Turkic royal family and has noble bloodlines. He is also the co-leader of dozens of large tribes. He not many hunters, but only one thousand Shi Guards, and there are also chiefs of each tribe.
With their wife and daughter, all the guards, there were only more than 3,000 people.
A grand banquet was held in the largest dome tent. The dome tent was decorated in gorgeous colors, with thick wool blankets on the ground, and various bright brocades were hung on the walls. The dishes and bowls used to entertain guests were placed.
Good porcelain, and even two Yuezhou celadon vases that are one person tall in the corner of the tent. These are gifts given to him by Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty.
At this time, a circle of low burqa was filled with low burqa. The burqa was covered with soft lambskin and a small table. Generally, Turks sat on the ground, and at most sheepskin was covered, but today there were distinguished guests.
Qimin Khan specially ordered people to move out of Hu's bed to show respect.
There is a Turkic chief sitting on each couch, with an elder with white hair and a strong young man with Kong Wu, tall or short, fat or thin. Most of them have the tilted beard of Turkic people, and everyone's eyes are
Full of passion and sincere smile.
Only the most noble guests can be sat in the big tent, only Changsun Sheng and Yang Yuanqing are sitting in the main tent, not because Yang Yuanqing and Qimin Khan had a relationship, but because he was the leader general, Changsun Sheng was just an envoy of the court, and
Yang Yuanqing is the messenger representing the army.
Su Lie and other Sui soldiers went to other places to drink and greet each other, and the Turkic master made their own arrangements.
"Brother Yang, your Turkic language seems to be good!" Ran Gan smiled.
Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly and said in his skilled Turkic language: "I have been in the grassland for five years and can't do it anymore. Not only can I speak Turkic language, but I can also write Turkic characters."
He has been in the grassland for many years and has long been following the customs. He doesn't have to be humble and polite when talking to Turks. He can say whatever he knows. He is too humble and rude. It is a kind of rudeness. Everyone doesn't care about him being able to speak Turkic, but he actually does
The most chiefs in the tent did not write Turkic words, which caused the chiefs to be amazed. Rangan's son Duji curled his lips and whispered to Wutu: "The people in the Central Plains can also read books, and discuss riding she
, It's far from that, I don't believe he can hurt his head?"
Wutu is a famous warrior under Rangan. He sat at the door of the tent and seemed a little absent-minded. He leaned his head out of the tent from time to time and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and two Turkic girls lined up in line with wine pots.
In the first place, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with her hair tied into small braids, fair skin, and bright eyes like gems.
Behind her was another Turkic girl, wearing a gorgeous tassel skirt, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a slender figure, her eyebrows and eyes look very similar to the girl in front of her, her eyes are also as bright as gems, and her bright red mouth chun
With the smile of a mi person, his face was rosy, just like the rising morning glow.
They were wearing beard robes with gold edges, a silver wire sash around their waists, wearing gold knives, silver bells, jade letters, and the golden rings on their ankles were jingling and crisp, attracting everyone's attention and walking along the way
, just like the most beautiful flowers blooming on the grassland.
"Our swan is here!"
Everyone laughed knowingly. Being able to show the Turkic beauty in front of the distinguished guests is also a kind of honor for the Turkic master. Changsun Sheng stroked his beard and chuckled. Although these two girls were beautiful, they could only see but not touch them.
Rangan's two daughters, the sister in front of them, named Ashinanuli, everyone calls her Anulli, and behind them is her sister, named Ashinaduosi, also called Aduosi, they are from the grassland
Swans, only the bravest knights on the grassland can fly with them.
There were two girls behind them, each carrying a copper basin and came to each of the two distinguished guests. There was a basin of clear water inside. Yang Yuanqing knew that he was asking him to wash his hands. He knew that the Turks were extremely strict and that every detail could not be
Make a mistake, making a little mistake means being disrespectful to the master.
Generally, Turkic people have no rules to wash their hands, they are very casual, but he doesn't know whether Turkic nobles have rules. Yang Yuanqing quickly glanced at Changsun Sheng, imitated him, put the back of his hands and palms in a copper basin, and used water to
I patted my face and learned nothing.
Seeing that he and Changsun Sheng were exactly the same, the girl A Duosi couldn't help laughing out loud. She covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her body trembled. Rangan glared at her daughter and smiled at Yang Yuanqing.
He said: "General Yang, there are no rules for washing up here. You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to be consistent with Changsun Gong."
Yang Yuanqing's face suddenly turned red. It was Changsun Sheng's own rule for a long time, and it had nothing to do with the Turks.
After washing up, two swan-like sisters stepped forward and filled the wine bowls of the guests with Ma Nai wine. Sister A Duosi served the wine bowls, bowed gently, and handed them to Yang Yuanqing with soft hands.
, She and her sister awaken the grassland together, and the lamb is about to be born.
Drizzle, bright sunshine,
Beautiful Swan River,
Welcome distinguished guests.
Nai wine is rich, meat is fragrant,
Let me boil the fragrant wine with my own hands,
Deserve to the most honorable guests on the grassland.
Drink this bowl, please accept my respect again,
May my singing and sweet wine keep the guests on the grassland.
Yang Yuanqing knew the Turkish way of hospitality, and there would be the most beautiful girl to toast. She could sing toast songs. As long as the song was finished and the guests drank three bowls, it would give the host the greatest face.
Yang Yuanqing slowly drank the Ma Nai wine, and felt that the taste was much better than the nai wine they drank in Dalicheng, at least not so sour, and sweet with a hint of nai fragrance.
A Duosi is the daughter of the grassland, passionate and unrestrained, staring at the guests with bright eyes, but Yang Yuanqing is a Han man, so he should not look at him inappropriately. He only responded to her with a polite smile, but his eyes slipped away from time to time. He saw Wutu
Looking at Anulli with a foolish look, her eyes were filled with endless affection, Anulli sang songs, but her beautiful eyes were not as focused as her sister. When her body was swaying lightly, her loving eyes secretly
Skip to Wutu.
Yang Yuanqing understood that this was a couple.
Just as Yang Yuanqing picked up the bowl and prepared to drink the fourth bowl, a burst of applause broke out from the tent. It turned out that the song had been finished and he had just finished drinking three bowls, which made the owners in the tent feel his respect.
But A Duosi was a little unhappy. She walked past Yang Yuanqing and a low voice came into his ears, "Han man, you respect everyone, but you neglect me."
Yang Yuanqing was stunned, his skirt was floating away, and he suddenly realized that she was referring to her eyes leaving her. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the Han people, if they keep staring at the girl's eyes, it would be a kind of rudeness.
He has been in the grassland for many years, but this has never been changed.
At this time, two big men carried a large plate into the account, and the plate was a roasted whole sheep.
"I'll do it!"
Rangan stood up with a smile. He personally cut the fattest sheep meat to the guest. He should be the youngest man to cut the meat. First, he gave it to the oldest tribe in the tent. If he is the highest status
The owner is knives, which means that the most honorable guest has arrived.
Venison, fresh fish, wild ducks, berries, and delicious dishes were served. Qimin Khan used the most hearty banquet to entertain guests from afar.
Changsun Sheng picked up a glass of wine, stood up and smiled and said, "There are two main things I came to visit the Turks this time. One is to be entrusted by the Holy Emperor to express condolences to the Khan and the grassland tribes, hoping that the Turks and the Great Sui Dynasty will be harmonious for generations.
Let’s get along with each other and be brothers forever. I also hope that Khan will conquer the grassland tribes and become the real grassland lord.”
Rangan raised his wine glass high, and other elders in the tent raised their glasses. Rangan said respectfully: "It was only given by the holy emperor of Rangan that he was reborn. The Turkic people are willing to be ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty forever. This glass of wine is to be toasted by the people of the Turkic people.
To our Holy Emperor.”
In fact, although the Turks were powerful, they were not the only masters of the grassland. The Turks only controlled the southern part of the desert, while the northern part of the desert was the world of the Tiel people.
Tiele is a general term for non-Turkish people on the grassland. It mainly has nine surnames, also known as Tiele's nine surnames, including Uighurs, Pugu, Tonglu, Bayegu, Sijie, Qiezi, Hun, Gelu, Basimi
When the nine surnames were not as powerful as unified, they were all scattered.
In addition, there are some other ethnic groups on the grassland, such as the Western Bone, Gesa, Khitan, Xi, Jun, Shiwei, etc. These ethnic groups, like Tiele, believe that the strong are kings and surrender to the powerful Turks.
.
In fact, the Turks were also the same as the surname Tiele, and were also a subordinate of Rouran. Because of their superb cast iron skills, the Turks became Rouran's slaves. Later, the Turks gradually became stronger and destroyed Rouran and became the overlord of the grassland.
The Le Jiu surname and other grassland ethnic groups turned to surrender to the Turks.
The Sui Dynasty supported the Qimin Khan and made him the Great Khan of the Turks, which was to allow him to stabilize the northern borders for the Great Sui Dynasty, fight against the Western Turks, and command the Tiel tribes.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing saw Changsun Sheng take out a golden wolf-headed banner, and he was stunned. This was the first time he seized the Western Turkic Khan King flag, which had been presented to the emperor, how could it be in the hands of Changsun Sheng?
Only the Great Khan can own the Golden Wolf-Head King Flag. The Golden Wolf-Head King Flag of the Eastern Turks was in the hands of the Khan of Qimin. Changsun Sheng took out this Golden Wolf-Head King Flag of the Western Turks, which was of extraordinary significance. Changsun Sheng gave the Golden Wolf-Head King Flag.
The flag spread out, and Yang Yuanqing pointed at Ran Gan and said, "This is the flag that General Yang took from Datou. I was entrusted by the Holy Emperor to formally present this banner to Khan."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came out of the big tent, "That is the royal flag of our Bujia Khan, who is qualified to accept it?"
