Chapter 348 Bloody Battle Gives Branch River Head (1)
In the tent of the Tang Dynasty King, Tang Dynasty's face was as deep as water...
There was a young man kneeling in the big tent, crawling on the ground and crying.
When Zhuge Jun walked into the tent, the young man suddenly stopped crying, turned his head and looked at Zhuge Jun, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
When Zhuge Jun saw this, he was stunned.
He glanced at the young man in confusion, and then he made sure that he had never met this young man.
"Baihuwen, get up and talk."
Tang Feng said in a deep voice, and the young man got up and retreated aside with his head down.
"Mr. Ziheng, please sit down."
Tang Shu sighed and signaled Zhuge Jun to sit down.
He closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment and said, "I think Mr. Ziheng saw it outside just now, Lao Qiang has attacked me!"
"Yes, I've seen it when I was outside just now."
Tang Shu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "This matter is also related to Mr. Ziheng.
Mr. Ziheng came all the way, killing many old Qiang horse thieves, which even alarmed Ke Zui. He seemed to have noticed that I had contacted Uncle Liu, so he couldn't wait to attack me. The White Tiger Crop Qiang is also a branch of my Tang Feng tribe, and has been living at the foot of Jishi Mountain. Baihuwen is my son-in-law. This time he was attacked by Xiao Wang Zhuzhi, the entire tribe was almost extinct, and my good girl died in the chaos... Mr. Ziheng, I am not going to blame you, I just want to say that our consultation must have a result.
I don’t know what Mr. Ziheng thinks?”
The White Tiger Crop is a pure Qiang man. When it comes to history, it can even be traced back to the era of Duke Mu of Qin.
This Qiang is a branch of Qiang. It started farming as early as the time of Duke Mu of Qin. Later, Guanzhong was in turmoil, and the white tiger Qiang family migrated from Liangzhou to Hehuang. However, their scale has always been small and they were born with other Qiang species. Thinking about the name of the White Tig family Qiang, the leader of the then hunted a white tiger and presented the tiger skin to the King of Qin. Therefore, the surname Baihu has been named after it.
However, such a long-standing species of Qiang is now almost extinct.
There are only more than a thousand tribes left in the tribe of more than 6,000 people, and the losses are extremely heavy...
Zhuge Jun immediately understood why the White Tiger Wen looked at him with hatred eyes before. He couldn't help but feel the sudden slightest in his heart. No wonder this White Tiger Qiang has continued its bloodline for thousands of years, but has never been able to dominate Hehuang. How could a Qiang who bullys the weak and fears the strong and relies on others to make a living? To be honest, if they hadn't been used to relying on the strong, they would have been annexed by other tribes long ago.
Just because he killed the old Qiang horse thief all the way, the old Qiang decided to start a war against Tang Shu.
Because the White Tiger Cultivation is located in Jishi Mountain and is an ally of the Tang Dynasty tribe, it is the first to be attacked by the old Qiang…
After all, isn’t your White Tiger Cultivation not strong enough?
If you are strong enough in the White Tiger Chuang, I believe that the old Qiang dare not attack you.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Jun did not pay attention to Bai Huwen anymore, but smiled and said to Tang Shu: "But I don't know what to think about the king?"
"The Han Dynasty court is strong, with a large population, and strong soldiers and horses.
I am a barbarian, and I have been looking forward to the country for a long time... Of course, I am willing to cooperate with Uncle Liu, but it is just a matter of naturalization... It is difficult for people to do it."
Tang Shu raised his head and looked at Zhuge Jun and said, "If Mr. Ziheng cancels the naturalization matter, I should cooperate with the emperor's uncle."
But Zhuge Jun laughed, "The king said something interesting!"
“Bold!”
Bai Huwen suddenly shouted angrily: "If you Han people hadn't sow discord in Hehuang, how could we Qiang people conquer each other? You guys, when you came to Hehuang, you started a massacre. In the end, you turned around and went back, but you caused the old Qiang to revenge.
The king, the Han people have never had faith and righteousness and must not cooperate with them.
In my opinion, this disaster was caused by these Han families. It is better to hand them over to the Lao Qiang King. I believe that Lao Qiang King must be very happy."
But Tang Feng flipped his eyes and glanced at Bai Huwen.
He looked at Zhuge Jun again, suddenly reached out and picked up a bronze seal from the desk in front of him, raised his hand and smashed it hard at Baihuwen.
The White Tiger Wen screamed, and his head was smashed by the bronze seal and bleeding.
Tang Shu shouted loudly: "Old Qiang is so powerful, can't I, Tang Shu, be able to kill anyone?"
You are my son-in-law. Your wife was killed by Lao Qiang. It would be fine if you don’t want to take revenge, but you still want to beg for mercy from those Lao Qiang?
I ask you, if Ke asked you the most about my head, would you also offer my head?"
"King..."
"Get out of here."
Bai Huwen's eyes were even more hatred, but he did not dare to confront Tang Shu, so he lowered his head and withdrew from the tent.
"Mr. Ziheng, I am very willing to cooperate with Uncle Liu, but naturalization is a matter of... Although my Tang Feng tribe is not a big tribe, I have lived freely in this Hehuang Valley for decades. We respect gods and heaven and earth, and we are also free and unrestrained. But now you want me to be naturalized, wouldn't you become your Han slave? Although Tang Feng is a barbarian, he does not want to be scolded by his ancestors."
After all, these Qiang people are used to being free.
They are unwilling to be restrained or willing to live a humble life.
Zhuge Jun smiled and shook his head repeatedly, "The king probably misunderstood...
I have explained to the king over and over again that naturalization is not a slave to the Han family. Uncle Liu has a kind heart and has no intention of enslaving your Qiang people. If you naturalize, it means you have guaranteed. Yes, after naturalization, you will be bound by the laws of the Han family, but in the same way, the laws of the Han family will try to protect you as much as possible, so that you will not be bullied. Since the rise of the emperor, you will have the desire to unify the world. No matter whether you are race or blood, as long as you obey the law, you will be the people of the Han family, just like others.
Of course, your Qiang people’s customs will not let you forcefully change it.
You can continue to live in this Hehuang Valley. If someone lives in a market town, it is not impossible...
In short, look at the Wuwan in Youzhou. He had resisted strongly before and colluded with the Xianbei. However, after his naturalization, he lived and worked in peace. If he wanted to continue to shepherd the world, he would continue to live among the Han people. We did not object to it, and we treated everyone equally."
Treat everyone equally?
This is easy to say, but difficult to do.
Since Liu Chuang implemented the naturalization policy, he has also put a lot of effort into the current situation.
Tang Shu was moved and hesitated.
Zhuge Jun continued: "The king thought that if we join forces, the emperor would continue to import a large amount of supplies into Hehuang.
And these materials will bring earth-shaking changes to Hehuang. When you turn against each other, will the emperor bring a tiger to a disaster? The emperor hopes that the Qiang people can integrate into the lives of our Han family, and from then on, the Qiang and Han families will fall in love with each other. But if you refuse to naturalize, you will always be able to read outside our Han family. It would be fine if the two families bumped into each other, but if they fight, they would be even more defeated.
This is not the result that the emperor is willing to see.”
Tang Feng remained silent, and Zhuge Jun stopped speaking.
After a long time, Tang Shun smiled bitterly and said, "We can continue to discuss this matter.
If the Emperor could treat my Qiang and Hu as the people of the Han family, I would naturally be willing to naturalize... However, the situation is a bit tense now. Ke is the most destined to attack my tribe with the two little kings in Zhimangzhong, but I don’t know what kind of support Uncle Liu can give me?"
Tang Feng was willing to sit down and talk, which means he was actually willing to naturalize.
Zhuge Jun knew that this kind of thing could not be forced, so he changed the subject and said, "Now General Fubo, Ma Chao, launched a military force in Jincheng, and wanted to avenge his father's death. I think the king also knew that Shaodang had been domineering and arrogant in the past two years, just because they had the support of Han Sui and obtained a large amount of supplies. Now before I went to Hehuang, my military advisor began to plan. If the king was willing, we could provide the king with excellent weapons and various supplies to ensure that the king had no worries... At the same time, my Han soldiers were ready to go... As long as the king nodded, within fifteen days, eight thousand strong soldiers of Xiliang entered Hehuang and fought side by side with the king to fight against the old Qiang."
Tang Shi was very eager for the weapons of the Han family.
However, the Han Dynasty has always had extremely strict control over weapons.
Tang Shu pondered for a long time and nodded slightly.
Zhuge Jun said again: "Actually, I know that the king is worried and afraid of being controlled by us in the future.
But if the king does not unite with us, he will surrender to the Kezui... To be honest, I don't think Ke is the best to treat the King's tribe well. You know very well that Kezui is ambitious and always wants to unify Hehuang. However, if the King's tribe is really separated by him, the freedom the king wants and the thoughts are free will become empty words. Will Kezui treat the King's people well?"
Tang Shi gritted his teeth and slowly raised his head.
"Mr. said it right. The old Qiang treats me like a pig or a dog. If he depends on him, I am afraid that from now on, my Tang Feng tribe will enslave him."
As he spoke, Tang Shu stood up.
"I am willing to join forces with the emperor and agree to discuss specific naturalization matters with the emperor after this battle.
However, the most urgent task is to fight against Lao Qiang. Since Ke Zuo has already started to move, I am probably not an opponent by my Tang Feng tribe alone. I want to ask Mr. Ziheng to work hard and follow me to visit several nearby tribes. The 100,000 Lao Qiang is named after the war, and it will take a while for the Han army to enter Hehuang. I must unite other tribes to survive this period.
But those old guys may not listen to my advice.
Mr. Ziheng is eloquent and if he can walk with me, he will not be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
When Tang Zhuo said this to this extent, Zhuge felt relieved and felt relieved.
"Since the king spoke, how could he not follow me?"
There are more than ten Qiang tribes of all sizes scattered in the area of Cizhiheshou.
If Tang Shi wants to unite these people, he must visit them one by one.
He and Zhuge both discussed it, and the two decided to set off immediately...
This time when visiting the tribe, the traces of the Han family should be reduced as much as possible, so Zhuge Jun did not let Zhao Yun accompany him, but asked him to stay in the tribe.
Before leaving, Zhuge Jun reminded Zhao Yun: "General Zilong needs to be careful when he stays here.
I'm worried that when the burning old Qiang would not let it go, he would not have any action... Tang Shu took away five thousand young and strong people in the tribe this time, and his defense would be empty. You should stabilize the situation with Ekin's concubine, so that those old Qiang would take advantage of the situation...
Also, be careful of the White Tiger Text!" (To be continued.)
