Country color

Chapter 89 Enclosed
The night is approaching, and the Xibu tribe is surrounded by palm torches.

And now it's in the big tent of Xi's department.

The female patriarch that the room learned was gentle and kind-hearted, but her slender eyes revealed a bit of resolute killing.

Several elders of the tribe sat aside, some did not say a word, some drank buttermilk and looked at Li Chongjiu without any scruples, not missing any of the other's expressions.

In addition to the big tent, under the light, there are countless shadowy figures flickering.

Li Chongjiu looked at it in a blink of an eye, and all the scenes were a bit like the sound of candle shadows and axes.

In this big tent, only Shi Deyun was still at a loss, thinking about his own thoughts, not only did not know the tense atmosphere in the tent at the moment, but also wondered how his mother should reward this young man who had made great contributions to the tribe, and whether he would Betroth yourself to him.

Thinking of this, Shi Deyun blushed.At this time, the female patriarch of Shixin raised the porcelain wine glass in her hand, played with it in her hand, and said with a smile: "My distinguished guest, do you think this pasture beside Nao Lake in Anguli belongs to our Shizhi department?" Woolen cloth?"

After saying this sentence, the matriarch stared at Li Chongjiu with her eyes like knives.

Facing the aggressive oppression of the matriarch, Li Chongjiu suddenly laughed out loud. This smile surprised everyone, and he thought that this kid really had the guts to laugh.

"Little brother, what are you laughing at?" the matriarch asked dissatisfied.

"I'm laughing," Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes, and said, "I'm laughing, if I answer no, madam, will you throw down the wine glass in your hand, and then three hundred knives and axes will enter and chop me up?" into meat paste."

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, the matriarch couldn't help but widen her almond eyes, and at this moment she suddenly saw the other party calmly and took a step towards her daughter.

Seeing this, the matriarch thought, "It's not good, I forgot to let Yun'er go out. If the meeting collapses later, the other party might, no, definitely take Yun'er as a hostage."

"Mum, why did he say that? Are you going to kill him?" The girl asked in nonsense with an eager look on her face.

Seeing her daughter's question, the female patriarch forced a smile and said, "Little brother, what's the matter, you have shown great kindness to our Shide clan, how could I do such a thing."

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "So I am relieved, Madam, you know that this place is Huaihuang Town, and it is one of the six towns in my dynasty. Since this place is one of the six towns, it is my Sui territory, there is no dispute."

The female patriarch said in a deep voice: "That's right, this place used to be one of the six towns of the former dynasty, but that's a thing of the past. Now this Huaihuang town has been abandoned, and it is a land without an owner. Our family has come to take it. Why not."

Li Chongjiu said seriously: "Ma'am, what you said is wrong. It's not abandoned but barren for a while. There is no reason in the world to give up our territory to others. Right now we are ordered by the saints to come here to guard the frontier and open up wasteland!" While writing, Li Chongjiu clasped his fists in the direction of the southern imperial capital to show respect.

"Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty?" The matriarch asked in surprise, "Are you an official army?"

Claiming to be an officer can obviously boost his reputation, but Li Chongjiu shook his head and said, "It's not an officer, it's just a garrison of the people."

The female patriarch listened, smiled and said: "You are telling the truth, you are not bluffing. In fact, my tribe has already found out that there are two or three thousand Han people living on the south slope."

It turned out that the other party had already found out about him.

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly. The other party lied like this, and I don't know how many times I have seen it in my previous life, but this woman is somewhat scheming.

The other party pondered, two or three thousand garrison civilians, and two thousand or so troops on his own side, if the two sides fight, although they know that almost all the people are soldiers, and they are cavalry, there is no absolute chance of winning.

"Could it be that Madam really wants to start a war with our Sui Dynasty?"

Hearing the word "war with the Sui Dynasty", the other party's face changed, and Li Chongjiu thought in his heart that this tiger skin was indeed the right one.

The female patriarch sighed, and said: "Little brother, you are joking, the five tribes of our Xi clan are all surrendered to the Great Sui, how could we fight against the Great Sui?"

The other party obviously backed down a step at this time. Li Chongjiu knew that the other party would never dare to start a war with the Sui Dynasty. The existence of a colossus.

During the time of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the emperor attacked Xi's tribe several times, and each time he captured more than [-] cattle and sheep. When Sun Sheng, the eldest son, was on the border, he was powerful in Xi, Yu, Khitan, and Turkic Qimin Khan.

The matriarch thought for a while, and said: "I have absolutely no intention of offending the Gui Dynasty. Why don't we use the Nao Lake in Anguli as the boundary, we are grazing in Hubei, and you are building a city in Hunan, how about everyone not invading?" "no!"

Li Chongjiu flatly refused, and the female patriarch immediately became furious, and said: "Young man, don't force us, our room has learned that everyone is not afraid of death, and we will not be afraid of a battle when the time comes."

Li Chongjiu is not afraid, just like negotiating, he has seen through the opponent's cards.

The other party is now stern and soft-hearted, even if he gets angry again, he will not dare to start a war with the Sui Dynasty.

Li Chongjiu looked at the room in the big tent and learned about the clansmen, and said: "Everyone, it's not because I don't want to, but because today's day is over, I can't do business. I don't need to say more, you should all know how the saint has a temper." Bar?"

Yes, at present, there is a lot of criticism of Sui Yang Emperor in China, wishing to curse him to death, but in the eyes of foreigners, Yang Guang is an extremely powerful monarch. But whether you dare to fight is a matter of attitude. The Sui Dynasty was rich all over the world, with tens of millions of people, so what if you lost a million teachers, fight until you are convinced.

"You, Xi Bu, ask yourself, is it better than Goguryeo or Turkic?" Li Chongjiu shouted.Under Li Chongjiu's questioning, the female patriarch and all the Xi clan elders remained silent.

Li Chongjiu said in his heart that this feeling was so refreshing, he stood alone in the big tent surrounded by enemies, but he had the aura of a handsome master going far away, holding on to his lord and asking for his crimes.

In the Han Dynasty there was Ban Chao, who pacified the Western Regions by one man, and in the Tang Dynasty there was King Xuance, who destroyed a country with one man, but such a character will never exist again after a thousand years.

It's not that there will be no people like Ban Chao and Wang Xuance in later generations, it's just that a weak country has no diplomacy.

Li Chongjiu is alone, and right now he is relying on the prestige of Yang Guang and the entire Sui Dynasty.

Under Li Chongjiu's questioning, the matriarch remained silent for a long time, but Shi Deyun quickly stepped forward to take Li Chongjiu's hand, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to talk to my mother like this."

The atmosphere in the tent eased somewhat because the room learned of the interruption.

The matriarch thought for a moment, and reluctantly said: "Please reply to the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. It is not because my family learned that the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty was invaded, but because the old place of my family was broken by the Khitan. My husband Qi Jin was killed. Scatter, or be enslaved by Khitan, now I have fled to the south with less than [-] people, just to save my husband's flesh and blood, and the lives of the clansmen."

As she spoke, the matriarch couldn't help but shed tears.

Li Chongjiu thought in his heart that the opponent's role change is fast enough, if he can't be hard, he can be soft.

As soon as the female patriarch cried, all the elders seemed to change their faces, and burst into wailing.At this time, Shi Deyun pulled Li Chongjiu's sleeve, also weeping secretly.Li Chongjiu showed pity at the moment, and said: "I know your situation, and I will write to the emperor. As for how the emperor will approve it, I don't know. All I can do is stop here."

Li Chongjiu thought that the time was about the same, and he could last for a year or two by the Great Sui Dynasty, so he quickly took out this tiger skin, and it would no longer be usable in the future.

"However, during the period before the emperor replied..." Li Chongjiu said.The female patriarch quickly said: "I also ask the emperor of the Sui Dynasty to promise that our room will be attached to the ministry."

enclosed?

Li Chongjiu's body shook, and the matriarch said: "If it is attached, then the emperor of the Sui Dynasty should not refuse our clansmen to be here."

"This seems to be possible." Li Chongjiu was overjoyed in his heart, but hesitantly appeared on the surface.

The matriarch said: "I am willing to offer [-] sheep, [-] horses, and [-] cows to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, my daughter will also be handed over to your envoy as a pledge, as a token of our sincerity."

Hearing what the matriarch said, Shi Deyun said capriciously: "I'm not going to see the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, I want to stay with Eminem."
