Crown Tang emperor

But when his eyes fell to his feet, he saw a few tender seedlings stubbornly breaking out of the ground that had been flattened by rolling, his expression sank.

He knelt down, leaned over and twirled the young leaves that had not yet stretched out with his fingers, then stood up, turned his head to look at the drivers behind him, wandered around the crowd, and raised his hand straight to Duan Da, governor of Lanzhou, Signal him to come forward.

Seeing the sage's actions, Duan Da's heart skipped a beat, he hurried forward and bowed his head to obey.

"What was the original purpose of this camp?"

Li Tong brushed the dust off his fingertips, looked at Duan Dadan and said in a calm voice.

"To the sage, yes, it is plowing the soil..."

Sensing the sage's serious gaze, Duan Da's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he just replied in a low voice.

Hearing Duan Da's answer, Li Tong's expression became more serious, pointed at Duan Da and said in a deep voice: "The weather changes, and the people work hard. The industry of farming and mulberry, the foundation of the community, and the foundation of life, how can you be so cheap! My Dian The soldiers went to Long to seek the recovery of Qinghai. It was originally for the permanent defense of the frontier and to benefit the livelihood of our people in the Long border. Now that there is not an inch of land, it has already harmed the health of the Long people and the plan to damage the agriculture and mulberry. What should you officers do? crime?"

Hearing the sage's reprimand, Duan Da's expression changed drastically, and he prostrated himself on the ground in a hurry, pleading guilty: "The minister is incompetent in governing, incompetent in using his life, I am guilty, guilty... I ask the sage to come down and proclaim virtue!"

Seeing this scene, all the officials in Longbian immediately felt tense, knocking on the ground to listen to the training.

"Duan Da, the governor of Lanzhou, when he was farming in spring, he surrounded the fields and harmed the seedlings. He greatly lost the morality of herding and governing.

Li Tong looked away from Duan Da, turned to Wang Fangqing, the prime minister who was accompanying him to Long, and said, "Choose other incumbents, give them missions to inspect the fields, and go to prefectures and counties to check gains and losses. Those in charge will harm the officials of the farm. , punish them all!"

Wang Fangqing nodded quickly after hearing the words, and immediately drew up the imperial edict.And the other welcoming members paid homage one after another and said loudly: "The sage blesses the farmer, protects the people, the blessing of the community, and the blessing of the people!"

Seeing that all the officials in Longbian kowtowed and praised, the Hu chieftains who accompanied them were also busy imitating the example.It's just that they don't understand the deep meaning of this scene at all, and their actions are inevitably delayed, and at the same time, they are all full of doubts.

Naturally, there was a reason for Li Tong to do this, not to make a fuss out of a molehill, to give the Longyou officials a blow.

The Tang Dynasty was based on farming and mulberry, and this national condition is the same whether it is in the border or in the country.Now in the early spring, the imperial court’s large-scale foreign military use is against the agricultural season. Although the military levy schedule cannot be changed, agricultural production cannot be completely ignored.

The impact of this Western Expedition on Longyou's agricultural production, the imperial court naturally went through some trade-offs and discussions, and issued many instructions to the Longbian states to protect agricultural production.However, there is always a gap between the formulation and implementation of relevant government orders between the central and local governments, and whether they can be fully implemented is also a big problem.

It was only after Li Tong saw this luxurious tent towering over the camp that he realized that this problem was a bit serious.Even if the imperial court made a comprehensive and appropriate plan in advance, for local officials, it is definitely an extremely harsh task to ensure the smooth implementation of the army's expedition and ensure that the agricultural and mulberry affairs in the middle of the country are not delayed. test.

If some local officials recruited harshly in order to cater to their wishes because of the sage's personal conquest, then even if the imperial court had any strategy to calm the people and protect the farming, it would only be a dead letter.

Ordinary people will of course feel proud of the prosperity of the country, but apart from that, of course they are more concerned about their own food and clothing security.

The situation in Longbian is also different from that of the inland areas where there are always reserves. Once a season of plowing is missed due to the impact of the war, a large number of people will be unable to live without food and clothing, which will cause public resentment.If this happens, then no matter how brilliant the outcome of this victory in Qinghai is, the people's situation in Longbian will leave a hidden danger.

When Li Tong entered the camp, he severely punished Duan Da, the governor of Lanzhou, for his wrongful farming. This was to show a basic attitude, that is, although the battle to recover Qinghai is important, the agricultural production in Longbian also needs to be guaranteed to avoid loss of land. Disorders occur.

Although this requirement is a bit harsh on Longbian officials, but having said that, if these officials can only do what everyone can do, but cannot withstand such a test, and there is no workaround that takes into account both, Why should the imperial court reuse you?

Of course, Li Tong also understood that it was not suitable to use large-scale foreign troops in the early spring. No matter what his attitude was, this expedition to the west would always have a great negative impact on Longyou's agricultural production.

So he punished Longbian officials at the beginning of his entry. This behavior is more similar to Cao Cao's cutting off the hair and acting head, so that the people in Longbian who have delayed agricultural production due to the war have a channel to vent their emotions, and said that the court will not disagree with this. Don't ask.After the war in Qinghai is over, corresponding relief and compensation will inevitably be made.

These officials in Longbian, including Duan Da, the governor of Lanzhou who was deprived of his official position, can more or less understand the profound meaning of the saint's behavior.And those Hu chiefs still couldn't understand the deep meaning, but when they saw that the saint punished a senior governor directly as soon as he got off his chariot, they couldn't help being frightened for a while, and became more respectful and humble.

After dealing with this matter, Li Tong entered the big tent surrounded by everyone.

The appearance of this large tent is already astonishingly luxurious, and the interior layout is also not inferior. There are many precious woods such as agarwood and sandalwood in the beams and pillars supporting the tent. The palace furnishings in Beijing.

Of course, in such a majestic and solemn occasion, no matter how gorgeous the furnishings are, they are just embellishments for the background, and the most important thing is the conduct of personnel affairs.

After the sage took his seat in the big tent, the ministers and all the powerful chiefs made a formal worship, the most important of which was the support of the Hu tribes.Although some of the Hu chieftains from all sides had already gathered in the pass, but this time the main force of the Hu tribe's assistance in the battle was still in the mainland of Longyou and the Western Regions.

"The sage Tian Khan ruled the universe, not because of the hard work of the army. He personally ordered the talisman to beg for the ministers, and regained the old business for the ministers. Mu, gather your troops, gather [-] armored soldiers, and put them in front of your Majesty to serve as dogs and horses!"

A Hu chief who looked quite old but was still quite energetic first entered the front and danced and worshiped, and then replied respectfully.

Although there were many Hu tribes under the Tang Jiji order, those who could directly pull out as many as [-] armed forces were very rare.This old chieftain Hu is certainly not an ordinary person, he is the leader of Tuqishi who is the most powerful in the Western Regions today, named Wuzhile.

After listening to Wu Zhile's performance, Li Tong encouraged him with a smile, and awarded him the post of General Huaihua because of his loyalty to the king's affairs.

When he saw Wu Zhile's vigorous dance to thank him, Li Tong couldn't help looking at Guo Yuanzhen who was sitting in the class of the officials in the tent, and he couldn't help but wonder whether it would happen again in this time and space. Guo Yuanzhen froze Wu Zhile to death, and went to mourn the meal?

Chapter 0935 Fan Lord Comes East, Tianwei Sanctions

Although today's Tuqishi has inherited a considerable part of the Western Turkic heritage, it is quite a heavy burden for Tuqishi to mobilize [-] troops and pay for the entry to help the war.

This time Shengjia personally conquered Qinghai, there are many people from the Western Regions who sent troops to help the war, but this is the only one who is as bold as Tuqishi, and even mobilized more troops than the main beneficiary of this expedition, King Murong Wan of Qinghai , which also shows how urgent its leader Wu Zhile was to be recognized by the Tang court.

It can be said that Tuqi's use of people and efforts can be said to be an example for the group. It is indeed a bit unreasonable that Li Tong is still calculating in his mind how Wu Zhile will die in the future.

In the Western Regions, in addition to Tuqishi, personnel from each of the nine Zhaowu surnames were also present.It's just that compared with the strong soldiers and strong horses of Tuqishi, the personnel size of these states pales in comparison.

This is not because the Zhaowu kingdoms neglected the Tang emperor's conquest orders, and their geographical location also determined that it was difficult for them to effectively participate in the wars around the mainland of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the west of Yumen Pass is generally called the Western Regions, this geographical concept represents a huge range.Tuqishi and other original Turkic parts are located between Anxi and Beiting, and Tuqishi has settled near Suiye City in the core area of ​​Anxi for a long time.

The Zhaowu Kingdoms are located in the west of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. Even the country of Mi, which is geographically closest, is still thousands of miles away from the four towns.So even if they intend to participate in the war on a large scale, it will be difficult to dispatch most of the troops to Longyou on schedule.

Not to mention that most of the Zhaowu states are small states with few people, and they are not known for their force. The interaction with the Central Plains Dynasty is still mainly based on commerce and trade.Even if there is any military cooperation, it mainly only occurs in the Western Regions.

However, since the Zhaowu countries are mainly based on Silk Road commerce, their personnel mobility is also extremely high.Throughout the entire Hexi Corridor, there are traces of the activities and settlements of the Zhaowu Nine Surnames, and the Nine Surname Hu people are also the most active Hu merchant group in Chang'an Commercial City. There are even many Nine Surname Hu people in the courts of the two capitals.

But there is also a strange phenomenon, that is, although the Zhaowu nine surnames who settled in the Western Regions are not strong in martial arts and look harmless to humans and animals, anyone can bully them.But once they left their native land, these Zhaowu Hus often performed quite well.Needless to say, Anlu Mountain ended the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. As early as the Kaiyuan period, Kang Daibin, a Sogdian Hu native who was attached to it, made trouble in the land of Hequ.

If we go back further, the post-Zhao Jiehu regime in the period of the Five Husses was also a Sogdian miscellaneous Hus from the Western Regions. They were coerced and relocated by the Huns at that time as war slaves, trampling the land of the Central Plains everywhere.Today, the Stone Kingdom among the Zhaowu Kingdoms has the same origin as the Jiehu among the Five Hus.

Now the Zhaowu states respond to the imperial court's order, and their methods of participating in the war are also full of merchant characteristics.They didn't send many troops directly to assist in the battle. Even the most powerful state of Kang, among them, only sent a hundred members from the country, mainly to serve as the prince's guard.

However, the total military strength provided by the Zhaowu kingdoms is quite a lot, as many as 5000 people.This is because their respective envoys directly recruited Zanghu Dingzhuang along the eastward journey and Longyou locality, and unexpectedly formed a large-scale servant army.

Although the Zhaowu kingdoms are not strong in military force, they are the main roads of the Silk Road because of their location, and they are the center of business exchanges between the east and west continents. All of them are very rich, and things that can be solved with money are not problems.

Not only did they envoy money and organize a large-scale mercenary army, but also the armed level of this mercenary army was not low. Almost everyone was equipped with swords and armor and horses.This is the first-class level of military equipment among all the Hu servants who participated in the battle.

In addition, Zhaowu countries also donated [-] Dawan horses to the Tang Dynasty.Not to mention the big tent that the sage is currently in, the Zhaowu kingdoms are also the main contributors.

After learning about this, Li Tong's attitude towards the envoys from the Zhaowu kingdoms was also friendly and encouraging.And the courteous attitude of the Zhaowu kingdoms also made Li Tong smell a hint of the change of the times.

There has never been love and hate for no reason in the world, especially for the Zhaowu kingdoms that are business-oriented and value every penny, any words and deeds of theirs must have their exact behavioral purpose.

The Zhaowu kingdoms are far away in the Western Regions, and although they maintain a relationship of subject and suzerain with the Tang Dynasty, due to the geographical distance, this suzerain-vassal relationship as a whole is not very restrictive.At least it is not like Tuqishi who wants to obtain more room for development, he must obtain the approval and support of the Tang court.

The dependence itself is not strong enough, just relying on the prestige accumulated by the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions in the past years, it is not enough for these states to respond so eagerly to the Tang Dynasty's command.The reason why these states are like this naturally has other reasons and demands.

Because Li Tong has memories from later generations, he naturally has a perspective beyond the current era when considering issues.If the perspective is no longer limited to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, the current era can be said to be a major change in the geopolitical structure of the entire Eurasian continent.

The rise of Tubo made the plateau regime unprecedentedly step down from the plateau, and aggressively infiltrated the Western Regions, and fought a series of struggles with the Tang Dynasty around the hegemony of the Western Regions.

If the strength of Tubo is still a matter of regional power changes, then the impact of the rise of the Great Food Kingdom will undoubtedly be more extensive and far-reaching.

As early as a few decades ago, the strong rising Dashi wiped out the Sasanian Dynasty in Persia. After years of digestion, it has become strategically feasible to continue to expand outward.

The Zhaowu kingdoms are the center of east-west exchanges, and based on commerce and trade, they are naturally quite keen on changes in the power structure of the mainland.So this time they are so enthusiastic about participating in the war. In addition to hoping that Datang can block the power of Tubo back to the plateau, it should also be hoped that Datang will pay more attention to the situation in the Western Regions.

After all, in the current era, the culture of the Tang Dynasty should be more advanced and prosperous, and its rule should be more tolerant and lenient, and the interaction and exchanges between the Zhaowu Kingdoms and the Central Plains Dynasty are also more traditional.For them, it is a more favorable choice to recognize Datang as the boss.

The course of history also proves the correctness of this choice. Although the Zhaowu kingdoms experienced frequent ups and downs, they also have a long history. Both the Han and Tang Dynasties had close interactions with the Central Plains dynasties.However, when the Dashi invaded this place, the regimes of various countries disappeared one after another. Since then, the prosperity and diversity of culture and beliefs in the Western Regions have ceased to exist, and the style of the Silk Road has become unrecognizable.

Li Tong naturally understood in his heart that curbing the penetration and aggression of Dashi to the Western Regions is a major event that will benefit the present and benefit the future.It's just that the military focus of the Tang Dynasty is still to suppress and understand the border troubles in the surrounding border areas, so although it has also learned about the related demands of the Zhaowu kingdoms, it has not yet given a positive response.

After all the internal and external members finished their greetings, Li Tong rested in the big camp outside Jincheng for two days, and then, accompanied by the generals, inspected the people gathered in Longyou.

Today, there are more than 20 Datang troops and Zhuhu servants gathered in Longbian. Among them, there are nearly [-] fighters who belong to the official establishment of Datang, and the rest are Zhuhu fighters.

Datang's army consists of three parts, namely, the Tang army based on the Heyuan army and stationed in Chiling and Haidong areas; the Tang army stationed in Hezhou and Taozhou and controlling the nine bends of the Yellow River; Long Jingbian athletes.

The commander-in-chief of Haidong is Meng Lingqing, the former deputy envoy of the Heyuan Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Jiuqu is Xue Na.These two people are currently on the front line, dispatching armored soldiers, and are preparing to continue marching towards Qinghai. They cannot withdraw to meet the saint, so they only send the deputy general to report the relevant military situation.

In the next war, Haidong's Tang army will act as the main force, advancing along the Dafeichuan line on the south coast of Qinghai to Haixi.As for the people and horses of the Jiuqu of the Yellow River, they marched along the river, browsed the high mountains and mountains, joined the Haidong army in the Kebo Valley, and launched a general attack on Fuqi City in Haixi.

In addition to these two marching routes, another group of troops will attack from Guazhou and Ganzhou in the northwest, enter the Qinghai area from the southern foot of the Qilian Mountains, and attack the north and south of the Haixi area with the troops from Haidong.

This group of troops was mainly composed of the Tang army and the Tuqishi servant army withdrawn from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate as the main force. The prime minister Liu Youqiu was in charge of commanding the troops.

Although the common combat target of the three forces is Fucheng City in Haixi, their specific combat intentions are still different.

The Xue Na Department of the Yellow River Jiuqu is mainly responsible for the elimination of the Western Qiang tribes who are still subject to Tubo, and to guard against reinforcements from Tubo.The men and horses of the North Road are mainly responsible for the removal of the Fengbao strongholds that Tubo marched into the Western Regions along Qinghai.As for the attack and recovery of Fuqi City, the Tang army in Haidong and the Tuyuhun troops under the king of Qinghai were still the main force.

Although Li Tong went to Longshang in person, of course he would not actually go to the front line in person. When the war officially started, he would move to Shanzhou, and the Jingbian athletes under his command would be responsible for rushing to the various battlefields to ensure that the chance of victory was locked.

This is the basic combat idea of ​​the Tang Dynasty, but before the official military order was issued to the various ministries, Guo Yuanzhen's advances brought new variables and choices to the subsequent tactical execution.

"If this battle focuses on Haixi, it can be perfected in the country of Tuyuhun, but it cannot be said to be complete in our Tang Dynasty. Although the land of Haixi is a must, it is not necessary to use heavy troops. The soldiers of Jiuqu have their own The beauty of wandering, if you are thirsty and thirsty, it is really useless in the art of war. Although Qinling is strong and difficult to control, it is not enough to lead our three-way army to attack. Moreover, the sage has many plans, and Yu Qinling has already achieved it. In the situation of trapping and killing, killing them according to the situation is better than killing them with swords!"

In the big tent, Guo Yuanzhen put away his daily laughing and lazy expression, and said with a straight face: "The saint conquered this place himself, and what he wanted was not only the old career of the vassals who did not keep it, but also the thugs who rebelled against the lord of other countries! Only when the Tibetan master comes from the east can he fight the saint and receive the punishment of Tianwei!"

Chapter 0936 treasure map dedication, wealth can be expected

In March, Longbian is already a spring scene with grass growing and warblers flying, and mulberry farming is busy.However, in the area around Qinghai on the west side of Chiling, the climate is still cold, the vitality between the heaven and the earth is still imprisoned and has not been fully revealed, and the recovery process of everything in the field is quite sluggish.

Although the area is still desolate, many traces of life activities have begun to appear in the wilderness.

The wild horses with mottled fur and skinny bones that have survived the harsh winter wandered in groups of three or four between the valleys and ridges, looking for the buds that just broke through the ground on the edge of the cliff at the bottom of the valley, rolling their tongues into their mouths, chatting for food.There are birds flapping their wings and feathers, constantly cruising along the undulating valleys and ridges, pecking at the grass seeds that have been blown out from under the soil layer by the wind after the hard soil has thawed.

Even if animals know how to move in accordance with the times, the Tuqiang herdsmen living around Qinghai will not waste their time.The cold weather in the past half a year has greatly restricted their activities, farming and animal husbandry production has completely stopped, and the meager savings have already been exhausted, and new supplements are urgently needed.

At present, the climate has not completely warmed up, which makes large areas still dry and cold. Many rivers and canals supplemented by melted ice and snow are still missing. The dry riverbed is cracked and exposed to the strong winds sweeping back and forth in the wilderness. There is no way to nourish the growth of vegetation.

Therefore, the Qiang tribes who were originally scattered all over the plateau to endure the cold winter began to migrate one after another, heading towards Qinghai.Because of the nourishment of Qinghai sea water, the recovery season of vitality in the surrounding areas of Qinghai is one or two months earlier than other places.

On the plateau, a delay of one or two months in the growth of vegetation is enough to determine the survival of a tribe.So as early as Tuyuhun's rule, Qinghai and its surrounding areas were the absolute ruling center.

Even if the ruling technology is primitive and crude, and there is no perfect rule of the Central Plains dynasty's registered households and people, the rulers here are not worried about the separation of the tribes they rule.As long as the water source that is the source of life is controlled, there will be no worries about many tribes coming to join, and the desire for survival will naturally force people from all directions to gather here.

However, the superior environment around Qinghai is only relatively speaking, and it is not enough to support too many people to make a living here for a long time. Therefore, when the environment in other areas improves, the tribal people who gathered here at the beginning of the year need Scattered in all directions again.

Over the past few hundred years, similar gathering and distribution migrations have occurred almost every year, with few interruptions.Even if the ownership of Qinghai has changed hands several times, the changes to this mode of existence are extremely limited.

Among the rugged valleys and ridges, a team is slowly advancing.The scale of the team is not small, there are nearly a thousand men, women, old and young, with cattle and horses, or dragging simple carts, or carrying various materials.

During the march, the herdsmen performed their respective duties, and the young and strong rode around the team, alerting various human and animal hazards in the wilderness, finding paths and searching for food resources.The women and children also tried their best to control the direction of the chariots and horses, and even the elderly were busy collecting firewood on the way.

In today's wilderness, there are many similar Qiang tribes, and their destination is naturally Qinghai, which is pregnant with vitality.It's just that the journey is not safe. In addition to the lack of supplies and the attacks of wild animals, what is more dangerous is the intimidation and bullying from other tribes.

Due to the existence of the rule of the Gar family, the surrounding areas of Qinghai can still maintain a certain order, but in this wilderness, it is an absolute law of the jungle.If these weak tribes happen to meet a powerful tribe, they will rarely receive help from the same kind, and there is a greater chance that they will encounter robbery and annexation.

Young and strong men and women will be taken into captivity as slaves. As for the elderly and children, they will often be abandoned in this vast wilderness, fend for themselves, and there is no way to survive.

After the team struggled over a high hill, the personnel in charge of road detection and security in front suddenly issued a whistle to convey the warning.After hearing the sound, all the people in the team changed their faces drastically, and hurriedly drove the cattle and horses to hide in the ravine near the left.

But soon more definite news came that the people in front did not encounter the enemy, but found a small team of wild horses, calling for the people behind to hunt.

After hearing the news, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The strong men and women rode their horses forward to gather together, while the old people began to dig earth and make stoves, preparing to cook the prey that was about to be caught.The children were even more excited. Regardless of the adults' resistance, they ran out of the valley and waited for the hunting team to return. They stared at the countryside and swallowed their saliva.

Time passed quickly, and soon the sun above the head turned to the west.Finally, the smoke and dust rose outside the valley, and the hunters rode back on their horses. However, they did not have the flesh and blood of the prey that the clansmen expected.

"Alert! Alert!"

The clansmen rushing to the front waved their arms and shouted warnings in Qiang language.Seeing this scene, the tribesmen in the valley felt their moods plummeted. While welcoming the tribesmen into the valley, they hurriedly set up some crude defenses.

"Already besieged and killed three wild horses, a group of murderers rushed out of the wild, with fierce bows and knives, wounded several people, took their prey, and wanted to hunt us down..."

The returned clansman looked disheartened, quickly told the situation, and then each held their weapons tightly, waiting nervously for the arrival of the pursuers.

Soon the sound of horseshoes sounded, and a cavalry team of nearly a hundred people appeared outside the valley, approaching the entrance of the valley.

The number of people and horses on this road is not too much, several times smaller than the population of the tribes in the valley, but whether it is people or the mounts under the crotch, they are all strong choices.In particular, those knights were dressed in armor and had excellent bows and knives. Before they approached, there was a murderous aura rushing towards them.

Such a well-armed cavalry team, even if the number is not large, people dare not underestimate it.After all, many Qiang tribes were already struggling to survive, and it was not easy to assemble a team of brave men, let alone have the financial resources and materials to arm them.

The cavalry team quickly rushed out of the valley. Seeing that the tribe had initially raised their guard, they did not launch an attack immediately, but spread out to surround the valley.

Although they are all Qiang people, they don't have much kindness and friendliness in their eyes. One of the knights who looked like a leader rode forward a few feet, raised the saber in his hand, and shouted in Qiang language: "Which tribe are you? How many mouths? How many cows and horses?"

Seeing the menacing and murderous approach of the other party, the herdsmen in the valley were naturally frightened and cowardly, and did not dare to answer for a while.

After waiting for a while, the leader became impatient, and continued to shout: "Do you know the name of my Mumao tribe? The big clan in the Southwest Ridge of Haitian Mountain cannot resist you. If you want to survive, you must sacrifice your horses and oxen, and surrender your weapons!"

After saying this, the leader turned around and returned to the team, and ordered his subordinates to set up a charge, and if the other party dared to say a word no, they would kill them.

Although the herdsmen in the valley were very unwilling, they had no choice but to bow their heads after seeing the other party's excellent armed forces. They chose a few old people to walk out of the valley, prostrated themselves on the ground, and responded mournfully: "We are willing to surrender, willing to surrender... ..."

Soon, the tribe hiding in the valley was driven to the plains outside. The vicious cavalry team was divided into two parts, one part held a sword and bow, and continued to maintain the awe of force, and the other part marched into the tribal team. , Inventory material personnel.

After accepting the surrender of this tribe, the men and horses along the way did not immediately go on the road, but rested on the spot, slaughtered a few old cows in the tribe and grilled them to eat.When they saw that there were many strong men in the tribe and there was still a bit of anger in their eyes, some of the knights drew their knives and wanted to kill them, but they were stopped by the leader.

"Don't think that surrendering to our department is evil, if you don't surrender this time, you will surely die!"

The leader looked at these tribal people and said with a sneer: "The army of the Tang State enters and will fight for victory with Dalun Qinling. In the future, there will be a series of battles in the south of Qinghai. Good luck for you to choose a strong force to join in the preservation. If you go to Qinghai like this, That's the way to fall headlong into death! Our department wants to recruit people to survive, men, women and children will be accepted, this is your way of survival!"

Hearing the leader's words, the people in the tribe were unavoidably astonished and pale, unable to digest this shocking news for a long time.The general hegemony in Qinghai naturally has little to do with them, but if a big battle is really imminent, then their rush to Qinghai must be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, with little chance of survival.

Knowing this, Zhong Ren's resentment about being forced to surrender was reduced by most.Especially those old and weak women and children, after hearing that the other party would not abandon them in the wilderness, they secretly rejoiced, and even took the initiative to recruit and serve them, with a courteous attitude.

But there were also people who thought more. After initially digesting this astonishing news, they saw that the knights were well fed and calmed down a little, so they approached them cautiously and asked: "Is the reason why the warriors are gathering their manpower?" To help the Tang Dynasty, or to help the war?"

"You shouldn't wait for the thieves to inquire about this matter! As long as you obey orders, you will never be led to your own death!"
