Spring and Autumn I Am King

Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

The Kongtong clan is an ancient tribe in the Hetao area. According to the legends of the elders in the tribe, their history can be traced back to the Hezong clan hundreds of years ago. The region has a high prestige.

The Hetao area in the fifth century BC was warm and humid, with excellent water conservancy conditions. It was not a nomadic economy in the pure sense, but a mixture of farming and animal husbandry. In addition to herds of cattle and sheep, the Kongtong clan who settled here also had some castles and villages, and opened up some rough fields for slaves to cultivate.

But the whole tribe still despised cultivation, they believed that it was the work of lowly slaves, and that warriors should ride on steeds and gallop around. For the tribes on the grasslands, those who do not ride horses are not worthy of being human at all, their status is the lowest, and there is no honor or self-respect at all.

It wasn't until those peasants who also rode horses came to Hetao that this changed Kong Tongshi's view.

At first, the Zhao people came to visit the Kongtong clan in the form of a caravan, and traded with the Kongtongren with fine wine, medicinal materials, porcelain, silk from the Central Plains. Although the warriors of the Kongtong clan despised farming, they were very fond of these delicate and gorgeous items, and they gladly accepted the caravan. Since then, every year, the Zhao State caravan will come to Hezongcheng in June and July. Every time the mutual market is held, Kong Tongren will celebrate like a festival. Small tribes a hundred miles away will gather at Hezongcheng, hoping to use their own cattle. Sheep, horses and buttermilk fur are exchanged for those precious Central Plains creations.

There are also people who are impatient with the annual trade and travel to Longcheng and Mayi hundreds of miles away. After returning, they are full of praise for the prosperity of Zhao. They said that any small county there was larger than Hezong City, with a larger population, and the mountains were full of cattle and sheep, and heavily armed knights were always patrolling the road.

Under the influence of ears and eyes, it is not uncommon for Kong to be greedy and coveted for the wealthy people of Dai County, but the two sides are far apart. Except for trade, they can only hear news of Dai County occasionally, such as Loufan's rebellion and Donghu's disturbance. , In addition, basically well water does not make river water.

It was not until the tenth year of the trade that the people of Zhao came again, but this time it was not only the caravan, but also the warriors who rode tall and majestic horses, wore bright armor, and looked high. There were hundreds of them, holding a sharp spear in one hand and a **** head in the other, telling the tribes along the way: "This is the Donghu and Lou Anren who rebelled against Zhao, their tribe has been destroyed by Zhao Jun, and the people slaughtered. Exhausted!"

Faced with such a powerful army, Kongtongren, who boasted of their bravery in the past, flinched. They hid in Hezong City and stuck their heads out to ask Kongtongren's "old friend" Yi Dun: "Kongtong and Zhao are harmonious, Zhao Jun. Why do you want to fight against the River Sect?"

Yi Dun stood under the city. This time was different from the previous trade. Behind him stood a powerful army. Just as Zhao Hou promised, every word he said was supported by a great country of Wancheng. !

He lost his previous politeness and modesty, but raised his head and said without doubt: "I only have a few words, please listen carefully to Kong Tong. All those who dare to be enemies of Zhao Jun, Dai Guo, Dong Hu, Lou Fan All of them have been destroyed or surrendered. The territory of Zhao State is so huge that it can go east to south, north and west for a hundred days, and still can't reach the end. Today, Wangkong Tong's clan has a choice, whether to be a friend of Zhao State or to be an enemy of Zhao State. If it is an enemy, shoot arrows at me. If it is a friend, also Wangkong Tongjun will go to Longcheng with me to have a banquet and enjoy Zhao State. Hou's wine."

Kong and the others looked at each other in dismay. Their tribes were scattered within a radius of 100 miles and could not be assembled in a short period of time. The elite Zhao army in front of them, which numbered more than a thousand, was only one percent of the Zhao army, according to Yi Dun.

In the end, the patriarch of the Kongtong clan made a choice. He let the clansmen continue to strictly guard the Hezongcheng, and he himself went out of the city tremblingly, expressing his willingness to go to Longcheng for a banquet with Yidun.

He has realized that the sky of the grassland has changed, Zhao Guoqiang's hand has reached the Hetao, and the Kong Tong clan can no longer dominate this fertile soil as before.

The tribes on the grassland are all afraid of the strong. After thinking about it, the leader of the Kongtong clan decided to bring his daughter with him.

...

Kongtong people are very grateful to Hebo for giving them such a fertile land. They regard Hetao as a sapphire on the grassland. However, under the knees of the Kongtong clan chief, there is a treasure comparable to Hetao: that is the daughter of the patriarch, Kongtong. Same as Pearl.

Unlike tribal women who don't take a bath for half a year, are dirty all day, and smell like old goats, this sixteen-year-old girl likes cleanliness very much, with white teeth and bright eyes. And she is extremely crazy about the creations of the Central Plains. She would rather wear silk and satin than sheepskin jackets. She prefers flour sweets to beef buttermilk.

When she heard that her father was going to take her to Longcheng and enter the country of the Central Plains for a banquet, Kongtong Mingzhu went crazy with joy. Her father asked her to dress up a little more beautifully, so Kong Tongmingzhu put a fragrant hair oil on her long black hair, and wore delicate gold jewelry on her wrists and ankles. The silk is soft as water, and there are all kinds of jade as decoration on it.

Because of this dazzling array of costumes, she couldn't even ride a horse, so she could only sit on a high car and drive slowly eastward.

Along the way, Kong Tongren discovered that they were not the only ones who were "invited" by Zhaohou. They were separated from Kong Tong's clan by a river. The Aries and Linhu tribes known as "people in the forest" were annoying buildings not far from Dai County. Even the tribes who already lived on nomadic herding in the northern foothills of Yinshan and Daqingshan did not invite them.

The further east the tribes were, the more shocked they were by the destruction of Donghu by Zhao State. Zhao could not be an enemy of him. In this case, according to the rules on the grassland, they could only express their surrender to those Zhao people who farmed their fields for a living. .

All the way down, Kong Tong Mingzhu's eyes never stopped. Whenever she encounters other tribes, she will observe the appearance and behavior of those young people when her father talks with their leaders, but every time the other party also flirts with her, Mingzhu turned her head away in disappointment and dismissed it.

The customs on the grassland are open. Every time the various ministries meet, it is also the best time for young people to find a partner. Kong Tong Mingzhu has reached the age of sixteen and has had menstruation, so she can get married.

As the most beautiful girl in the entire clan, those who pursue her can circle around Hezongcheng, but her vision is very high, and no young people in the tribe can see it.

However, which girl is not pregnant? The image of the husband-in-law in Kongtong Mingzhu's dream is like this:

He is tall and handsome, with a low-hanging long beard, interlocked with metal silver rings, and his long black hair is black and shiny, tied into countless braids, with silver bells hanging in the middle. Riding a white horse, he came to Hezong City to welcome her for marriage.

He should not be as rude as an ordinary tribal man, and only mate and seek pleasure like a stallion and a mare. Instead, he should play Hu Jia to accompany her dance, and at the full moon, he should take her to the wild on a horse and lie on the ground. Whispering on the soft grass beach.

However, she didn't know that~www.readwn.com~ In history, she would marry a Central Plains monarch named "Zhao Xiangzi", live in the palace palace all her life, and give birth to five sons for him...

On the first day of the seventh month, Kong Tongbu hurriedly rushed and finally arrived at the grassland outside Longcheng. It was a good day. A falcon was high above, hovering in the dark blue sky. The sea of ​​grass swayed, and with the wind sighing softly, Chaokong Tong Mingzhu's face sent a trace of warmth, and she was also full of expectations for what she would witness next.

However, she didn't know that this time her father's plan was to give his daughter as a gift to Zhao Hou Wuxi to win his favor and friendship...
