People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 29 Prestige
cluck!Squeak!
With a creaking sound, the gate of Wubao gradually opened, people inside could see the outside, and people outside could also see the inside.

Li Yao was wrapped very tightly, only his face was exposed, and his gaze was looking outside the door.

There were hundreds of Hu people there, all of them with disheveled hair and wearing animal skin robes.

There are men, women, and children, but there are basically no old people, probably dead. The people in front of them are all tired, and not only have no blood, they have even cracked from the cold. In this weather, staying outside for a long time, no matter how thick the clothes are, it is useless.

If there is not enough food, no matter how strong they are, they will be submerged in the wind and snow. If these barbarians leave today, they will have absolutely no way to survive.

The corners of Li Yao's mouth curled up slightly. In his opinion, this negotiation is already achievable.

Then he walked out slowly, behind him there was a group of elite knights, all of them were burly and riding tall horses, exuding a fierce aura from inside to outside.

These are all part of the family, and they are also full-time private soldiers. They don't need to farm or herd, they only need to train, and they must be ready to fight at any time, and repay the Li family's kindness with their lives.

At this time, Li Yao's own guards could not act as a deterrent at all, and he had to rely on his father and brother.

And it's not just these trilogy, there are already people standing on the top of the Wubao wall and under the wall, all of them are farmers and herdsmen, as long as they are organized, they are also a vital force.

And there are hundreds of mastiffs, even if it is a group of strong men, if there is no weapon at hand, nine out of ten will be directly killed by them.

The purpose of being so eye-catching is to prevent these barbarians from robbing the gate of Wubao, and they can suppress them at any time.

At the same time, these barbarians had already seen Li Yao's very young face, although full of heroism, he was still childish.

This made them feel contemptuous, but they were surrounded and did not dare to show it at all.

Just trying to straighten their chests, they are willing to take refuge in Li Wenhou, but it doesn't mean they will bow to a child.

Seeing their appearance, Li Yao knew it well, and then he said loudly:
"I am Li Yao, the eldest son of Marquis Li Wen."

In a word, show your identity!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the barbarians murmured in whispers, vacillating in surprise, but at the end, they lowered their heads a little, showing respect on their faces.

Now these barbarians would probably listen to him carefully, but Li Yao was actually not happy in his heart, because this respect came from his father, not himself.

It will all be different when you grow up yourself!

Li Yao thought firmly in his heart.

Then he went on to say:

"My father is not in Wubao, so I can't take you in. This year's snowstorm is especially serious. If you are all left behind, you will definitely have to spend more food, and maybe we will also be hungry..."

Suppress first and then raise, first reject and then accept.

A common negotiation technique!
When they heard that they could not be taken in, these barbarians all showed despair. This is forcing them to die directly!
Not only did they feel resentment in their hearts, but they also had killing intent. If they weren't surrounded, they would have killed the kid in front of them, and then rushed into Wubao to snatch all the food.

Even Temur's eyes widened, with a slight hint of malice, his hands were already trembling, as if he wanted to make a move directly.

But the knights around, the archers on the wall, and the mastiffs all told him not to act rashly.

Feeling that the heat had come, Li Yao looked at them and said again:

"It's just after repeated discussions, because you all admire my father, so you braved the wind and snow to come here to seek refuge. If you just refuse the door and finally spread the word, you will definitely provoke the villagers, and the heroes will laugh at you. It will really insult my father's name..."

"The final decision is to take you in!"

Turning around, these barbarians seem to have ascended directly from hell to heaven. At this time, they are extremely excited. How much they hated before, but how much they love now. After all, they have never seen such a routine before!
Seeing that Li Yao was more than respectful, he really wanted to kowtow to him, even if he did three obeisances and nine kowtows, he would not hesitate to do so.

Seeing these barbarians are all happy, at this moment Li Yao understood in his heart that he should really see it:
"However, you also need to make contributions. All the strong men will be organized into patrol teams to drive away wild animals and thieves...to ensure that the livestock survive the cold winter. After all, the grassland is not safe. I believe everyone knows that so that all women and children can be taken into Wubao for resettlement..."

At this time, Li Yao also said the last arrangement:
"Father will be very happy that you are able to come here despite the wind and snow. If you are all sent to Father's side, but people may freeze to death in this weather, why don't you let your patriarch go there alone. As for everyone to settle here first..."

When Li Yao finished speaking, these barbarians looked at each other, obviously at a loss.

Then Li Yao spoke again, the voice was full of temptation, it was hard to refuse:
"As long as you nod your head and agree, you can arrange meals right away..."

Having said that, Li Yao changed the subject again:

"If you don't agree, then leave!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yao gradually turned around and only left the backs of these barbarians without giving them any time to react, forcing them to think quickly.

If you think about it carefully, these conditions are actually not unacceptable. Livestock is a very important property, and protecting livestock is very important. As long as the livestock can survive the cold winter safely, they will be able to breed more offspring in the future, which is a top priority for nomads.

These Hu people are very willing to protect the livestock, and women and children can be taken into Wubao for resettlement, so they have no worries. As for Temur, who will go to see Li Wenhou first, why not let everyone go together!

Then these barbarians all looked at the patriarch, hoping that Temur would hurry up and nod in agreement.

At this time, Temur is suffering and cannot tell. As long as he can still lead the tribe, then he is the patriarch. If he leaves these tribes, then he is nothing.

But now, the eyes of his people looking at him began to make him feel like a pain in the back, and there was no way to refuse.

If you nod your head and agree, you can still exit the stage with dignity. If you shake your head and refuse, you must be forced to exit the stage with dignity.

boom!
Suddenly Temur knelt down on one knee:
"Respect, the order of the young master!"

Immediately, these barbarians all knelt on one knee:

"Respect, the order of the young master!"

Hearing this, Li Yao turned around, at this moment he knew that he had succeeded.

At this time, on the top of the wall and under the wall, no matter whether they are part-timers or hidden households, they all looked at Li Yao with admiration, and within a few words, they arranged all the hundreds of barbarians. They felt very proud when they thought that this was their young master.

Among these barbarians, a young man slightly raised his head to look at Li Yao. Although both of them were about the same age, Li Yao could easily subdue them.

"It's so majestic!"

The young man thought in his heart, his eyes gradually turned hot, and he admired Li Yao quite a lot.
