Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 468 Meeting the Khan in the Deep Grassland
The yurt is the most common place where the nomads on the grassland live.

Hundreds of years of accumulated experience told them that even if the pasture on the grassland is inexhaustible, it must not be excessively consumed in one place.

When the amount of pasture in a certain place is reduced to a certain extent, the herdsmen will migrate to other places, waiting for the pasture here to grow again.

But they can't build a house every time they go to a place.

There are very few materials that can be used to build houses on the grassland. Whether it is wood or stone, they are very rare on this vast grassland.

The yurt is the most suitable house for grassland living, discovered by herdsmen after hundreds of years of research.

The skeleton of the yurt is made of wood, and after assembly, it is covered with thick fur, which can be disassembled at will. The thick fur can protect against wind and rain, and the insulation effect is also very good.

Of course, not all yurts are the same, and the identity of the owner of the yurt can be known from the size of the yurt and the decoration outside.

The grassland people have always been criticized by the Central Plains as barbarians. Apart from their own arrogance and tough folk customs, there is another main reason.

Unlike the Central Plains, the grassland people rarely worship their ancestors, and there is no concept of family inheritance.

But if you search carefully, you can still find the history about the barbarians.

Hundreds of years ago, there were only two tribes in the entire grassland, and the number of these two tribes was more than 10.

But as a certain sage said, the world must be divided for a long time, and the world must be united for a long time. This is the way of the world, even the grassland people are no exception.

As the two tribes gradually prospered and grew stronger, some internal contradictions and barriers gradually appeared, which eventually led to the disintegration of the two tribes.

In the end, the two major tribes split into a dozen small tribes, and the situation became more and more chaotic. Today's grassland is the most complicated time in hundreds of years.

There are four major tribes on the entire grassland, namely the Qiang, Di, Jie, and Hu tribes, each of which has at least [-] residents.

In addition to these four major tribes, there are nearly a hundred small tribes, some of which have only three to two hundred people, and there are seven small tribes with more than 200 people.

Wu Clan and Liu Clan are two of them.

Because of their close location and intermarriage, the two clans have always had a good relationship.

The leader of a small tribe is called Khan, and the leader of a large tribe is called Tianzan.

This so-called Tianzan is actually a title that has only appeared in the past few decades. It is no different from Khan in essence. Only those who are willing to follow them will admit it.

But whether a certain title or identity can be recognized does not depend on the rationality of the title, but on the strength of the person sitting in this position.

This world is where fists speak.

Walking into a tribe, if you want to identify which yurt is the residence of the leader, you only need to look at the spikes on the door.

Spikes are a symbol of warriors and status among grassland peoples.

Only people with higher status in the tribe can hang the spikes, and the number of spikes also represents the identity of the person.

Generally speaking, the number of hanging fangs is mostly one, three, five, or seven. Among them, the number of hanging fangs is only a khan of one tribe.

But with the appearance of Tianzan's identity, the number of spikes hanging from Tianzan has become fifteen.

The place where the Khan lives is also called differently, such as Shanyu Court, Tent, Ya Court, or Qionglu, but in the past few decades, Qionglu has become the exclusive name of Lu Tianzan's residence.

In the Ya Court of the Wu Clan, there are three people sitting here at this moment.

"The kumiss on the grassland is really a nostalgic taste."

"Hu Yanqi, how did I hear that you led the tribe to the south, and all the troops in your hand are gone?"

One of them is holding a pottery bowl in his hand, which is filled with the unique kumiss on the grassland, and is drinking freely.

This man was eight feet tall, with long beard and long hair, and a beard under his jaw that looked like a row of steel needles. Beside him was a big man with a beard who was asking questions.

Opposite the two, there was a big man with long beard and green beard who was silent.

The appearance of these three people is very common on the grassland, but if their identities are revealed, at least [-]% of the people on the grassland can be intimidated.

The big man who is drinking kumiss is named Hu Yanqi.

His identity is the barbarian Khan.

The same goes for the other two, the long-bearded man is named Yu Chiqing, he is a Khan of the Wu tribe, and the bearded man is called Shanyu Changqiu, he is a Khan of the Liu tribe.

These three people are equal in status, but the relationship between the Liu tribe and the Wu tribe is good, but before that, they had little contact with the barbarians.

Just yesterday, Hu Yanqi came to the Wu clan suddenly, claiming that he had something to discuss with these two people, which surprised them, but considering Hu Yanqi's identity, they still agreed.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you think I think so?"

Hu Yanqi drank the kumiss in the bowl in one gulp, slapped the table heavily, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"Then there is a fairy-like figure in Black Creek City. He is powerful and can defeat thousands of troops. No matter who it is, such a person is difficult to deal with, right?"

"Is there such a person?"

Shanyu Changqiu frowned slightly, but Yu Chiqing who was at the side raised his head at this moment: "Hu Yanqi, tell us something, I don't believe you are here to tell us a story."

In addition to the four major tribes, among the tribes with more than 1 people, the barbarians ranked first in number and the most powerful one.

However, the combined forces of the Wu Clan and the Liu Clan can compete with the Barbarian Clan, and the relationship between these three Clans is not very good, and they even had very little contact with each other before.

Hu Yanqi laughed out loud.

"Since you're asking that, I'll just say it straight."

"I hope you can send troops to help me take that Black Creek City, and then we will work together to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, and then come back to dominate the grassland."

The air in Yating became quiet, both Yu Chiqing and Shanyu Changqiu opened their mouths at this moment, but they didn't know what to say.

"What do you mean?"

Hu Yanqi asked dissatisfied.

"It's not that we don't believe you, but you just said that a powerful master has come to Black Creek City, and even you can't deal with it. Do you think we can deal with it?"

Shanyu Changqiu also came to his senses at this time, and asked Huyanqi back.

But Hu Yanqi waved his hands confidently: "Since I dare to say that, there must be a way."

"In today's Black Creek City, there are still [-] soldiers of our barbarians serving as captives there. I lost to that kid named Qin Feng before, but I just didn't understand his strength. Not only do we understand now, but my clansmen must also Figured out the situation in Black Creek City."

"At that time, with the combination of inside and outside, wouldn't it be easy to defeat that brat named Qin Feng?"
