In the Wangwang Village, a huge wooden hall, Qin Wanggao sat on the main seat, and more than 100 elders, shamans, village guys, and generals sat down at their heads.

"You also know that the Immortal Chief is here on behalf of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty and wants us to submit to the Great Sui." Qin Wang looked at it and said slowly: "From a personal point of view, our black, white, and green departments owe Yuan Xianchang. Eighteen years ago, we were hit by a miasma, and then caused a plague, if it weren't for Yuan Xianchang's death, the three of us would have become a pile of dry bones. Now that Yuan Xianchang needs us, we can't be ungrateful. And from the future direction of our race, as long as our people abide by the law, all of them can enjoy the same treatment as the Sui people. My meaning is very obvious, that is, I have to promise the immortal chief in both public and private. What do you think? ”

"I agree with the king." A sturdy bureaucratic man said loudly: "Our bureaucrats have kindness and grievances. Since the Immortal Elder needs us, we should do everything we can to repay it. ”

Another man said: "According to the policy of the Sui Dynasty, as long as we submit to the Great Sui, we will be able to live in the towns and cities in the future, and live a prosperous and peaceful life through hard work, so I also agree with the king's proposition." ”

"For generations, we have been in the company of poisonous insects and beasts, and we live on the brink of death all day long; Honestly, I've had enough of these days. We must not miss this opportunity to escape death and poverty. ”

“……”

As a wingman, Qin Wang naturally has a lot of henchmen, he has already passed the qi before, and they are all vocal support at this moment.

Of course, there are also objections:

"What the Sui Dynasty can give us, the Tang Dynasty can give it too, why should we be willing to go near and far and be sent by the Sui Dynasty?"

This was said by a man dressed in blue-gray wax-dyed clothes, even in the face of Qin Wang, the king with the highest status of the bureaucracy, he still seemed very impatient, and his tone was very unkind.

This person is none other than Fan Qing, the leader of the youth bureaucracy.

The strength of his young bureaucrats is no worse than that of the black bureaucrats, and with the growth of his strength, he also has ambitions for the position of the bureaucrats, if it weren't for the full support of the black and white bureaucrats Qin Wang, who is good at management, he would have gathered everyone to overthrow Qin Wang, but because of this, Fan Qing was extremely disrespectful to Qin Wang.

Qin Wang didn't pay attention to Fan Qing's provocation, as if he hadn't heard it, but his daughter Lan Xue'er couldn't help it, and said coldly: "Li Yuanji obviously begged us, but he killed our warriors fiercely and domineeringly, and threatened to set fire to the village, if we really want to return to the Tang Dynasty, our good life will really come to an end." The important thing is that the Tang Dynasty is about to be destroyed. If you want to die, go and submit to Li Yuanji yourself. Don't hurt us all. ”

"Lan Xue'er is right," Qin Wang's son Qin Zhan stood up, glared at Fan Qing coldly, and said angrily: "Li Yuanji has killed many of our warriors these days, and the few warriors they killed today are not buried, you actually want to die for the enemy, are you still not a wingman?" Do you still have a little conscience? ”

"La Zhan is right, we can't give our lives to the enemy." Someone said.

Fan Qing sat down and said: "Even if we don't surrender to the Tang Dynasty, we don't have to be so anxious to return to the Sui Dynasty." Anyway, the Sui Dynasty is asking us now, we don't have to agree happily, maybe we can get some more benefits. ”

Fan Qing's words also represent the voices of many people. Qin Zhan naturally couldn't speak ill of each other, but said on a case-by-case basis: "The result of bargaining is a missed opportunity, once the Great Sui Emperor no longer needs us, I'm afraid there will be no such good conditions." If we want to benefit, we can go to the battlefield through our ability to get it. ”

At this time, the Great Elder with white hair, La Mo, said slowly, "La Zhan and Xue'er are right. But the Han people have always been cunning, and I am afraid that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty will let us die for him first, and the world will definitely cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future. ”

The people were silent.

They have suffered the great losses of the Han people for generations, resulting in the word 'Han people' being equivalent to 'insidious and cunning'.

Just as Qin Wang was thinking about a way to break the situation, he saw a dark and dark wingman with a strong smell of fireworks breaking into the hall and shouting from afar: "King, something is wrong, Li Yuanji has burned the village." ”

"What?"

The faces of the people changed drastically, and the hall was in an uproar.

"I'll just say, if Li Yuanji is lowered, where will today's disaster be?" Fan Qing said loudly.

"Fan Qing, the Tang army has burned down the village, you still say cool words, are you still human?" Lan Xue'er couldn't sit still at first, and stood up angrily.

"Isn't it?" Fan Qing said eloquently, "You tell me, where is the Sui army now, where is ......?"

"Fan Qing, you're enough......" Everyone glared angrily.

"Am I wrong?" Fan Qing snorted coldly, and when his gaze swept over the bureaucrat who came to report the news, he jumped up and said loudly: "You are Ba Dong?" ”

"It's me, clansman." The pitch-black messenger spoke, and the two rows of teeth looked extraordinarily white.

When he heard everything, his face changed drastically, and he picked up Ba Dong, and roared angrily: "Tell me, which village has been burned?" ”

"This morning, the Tang army entered our Qinggong Gaogong Village, they killed people when they saw them, and they ordered every house, our Gaogong Village has become a ruin, the men have been killed, the women have been robbed, and the village has been burned clean. I don't see things right. Hurriedly fled to find the clansman. Ba Dong cried: "Clansman... Our Gaogong Village is finished! ”

Swish......

Qin Wang and other old men had purple on their faces, this was not angry, but suffocated.

They knew they should be so sad, but for some reason, they just wanted to laugh now. But thinking about his identity, he forced himself not to laugh, and it turned out to be like this.

"Poof" Lan Xue'er, who had a low laugh, burst out laughing, and seemed to know that she shouldn't, so she covered her mouth and laughed he. And Qin Zhan and the other young men looked at the roof of the building with blank eyes, and their faces trembled as if they were twitching.

"I, I'm ......in a hurry" Lan Xue'er couldn't help it, stood up, and ran out in a hurry with a fragrant wind.

"Me too." Qin Zhan also ran out.

"La Zhan, wait for me."

“……”

In an instant, a young man ran away, and then a burst of laughter came back.

"If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man." Fan Qing fell to his knees with a puff and cried loudly.

Gaogongzhai, that is his foundation, his parents, his wife and children, his people, and his brothers are all finished.

Fan Qing is about to go crazy now, although there are still many small villages belonging to the youth bureaucrats everywhere, but the main gathering place of the youth bureaucrats is Gaogong Village, accounting for at least sixty percent of the number of people, that is to say, his youth bureaucrats have lost at least half of their strength.

How does this make him not sad? How not to hate?

He stood up abruptly and said to the weeping leaders, "What's the use of crying? Pick up the weapon, follow me to take revenge, even if you fight hard, you will kill the Tang army! ”

"No!" Qin Wang grabbed Fan Qing: "If you attack at this time, I'm afraid that you will fall into the trick of the Tang army, the Tang army far exceeds the number of our clan, if you kill it at this moment, it will be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!" ”

"Do you want my people to die in vain?" Fan Qing's eyes roared angrily.

"Of course you can't forget it like this, but you can't let the young warriors die in vain!" Qin Wang persuaded: "Brother Fanqing, the Tang army is powerful, and it is not something we can win. The only way we have now is to surrender to the Great Sui and use the power of the Great Sui to avenge us. ”

"Good!" Fan Qing also knew that Qin Wang was right, even if the three departments were combined, they would not be able to defeat the Tang army at all, so they had to rely on the strength of the Great Sui, he gritted his teeth and said: "King, I can't let the clansmen expose the corpses to the wilderness, let's go back first." You and Yuan Xianchang said that as long as Sui Jun is willing to help me avenge me, in this life and this life, even if I am a slave, I am willing to be sent. ”

"Brother Fanqing, don't act rashly, lest the youth become extinct." Qin Wang admonished.

"I understand, I'll be back tomorrow." Fan Qing nodded fiercely and strode away with the leader of the Qing Bureaucracy.

The hall fell into a deathly silence.

Qin Wang looked at the highly respected Great Shaman, and asked, "I have decided to submit to the Great Sui, what do you think, Great Shaman?" ”

"I don't have the slightest opinion." The great shaman Lasang pinched the goat's whiskers with a sparse chin and said: "In the Great Sui Dynasty, even women can be officials and generals, which shows that Emperor Shengwu is an open-minded and talent-only emperor. But we also need a ...... protection."

"What guarantees?" Qin Wang was actually a little worried that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty would turn his face and not recognize people.

"Intermarriage." Lassan said succinctly.

"Yuan Xianchang's booklet said that intermarriage was encouraged, and even the imperial court would come forward to help young men and women find good matches for each other." Qin Wang looked at Lasang suspiciously.

"No, that's not enough." Lasang smiled and said, "The patriarch of the Fei clan, Shui Tianji, is married to the emperor, so the Xia clan is specially taken care of by the emperor. If we also marry Princess Xue'er to the emperor, not only will we not have to worry about the emperor's rebellion, but the status of the black, white and green tribes among the wingmen is unrivaled. ”

"I'm worried that Xue'er won't want to ......," Qin Wang frowned.

"If you don't want to, you have to be willing." Lasang sighed: "Because of Gaogongzhai, our three tribes and the Tang Dynasty are immortal enemies of life and death; Whether it is revenge, survival, or for the sake of future status, we must do our best to help the Sui Dynasty fight, and when the war is over, we may not have many warriors left. In such a situation, if there is no trust and love of the royal family, let alone a development and growth, I am afraid that I will be eaten by other tribes and have no bones left. ”

Speaking of this, Lasang looked at Qin Wang and said, "Apart from Xue'er, which girl is worthy of being the emperor?" And the heroes of the world are respected by Emperor Shengwu, except for him, who is qualified to be our Xue'er's husband? ”

"That's fine. I'll go and mention to the Immortal Chief, as long as Emperor Shengwu accepts Xue'er, we will fight with the Tang Dynasty to the end. ”

As the king of the wingmen, Qin Wang dreamed of taking his clansmen out of the mountains and living a peaceful life of living and working in peace and contentment, and he instructed everyone: "The immortal chief said that there is a great merit waiting for us tonight, and it must be a big battle." Let's go and prepare first, if there is a battle to fight, this will be our first great achievement in submitting to the Great Sui. ”

"Yes." Everyone left one after another, mobilizing elite warriors and preparing for war.

After everyone left, Qin Wang went to the guest room to see Yuan Tiangang's father and daughter, Qin Wang was more frank, after he sat down, he didn't make a detour, and said directly: "Yuan Xianchang, we have already made a decision." ”

"How?" Yuan Tiangang asked a little nervously, now that the time to leave Shen Guang's appointment was getting closer and closer, he was also anxious.

He didn't really care about the credit or something, he just wanted to kill Li Yuan as soon as possible and end this damn troubled world.

And Shen Guang's battle plan tonight is undoubtedly the closest moment to success.

Because I care, I'm anxious.

"We are willing to accept all the arrangements of the Great Sui, but only if we are promised one condition."

"Conditions?"

Yuan Tiangang was slightly stunned, "What are Brother Qin's conditions?" ”

Qin Wang said: "It's very simple, it is to ask Emperor Shengwu to marry Xue'er into the palace, as long as we agree to this condition, we will go all out to fight for the Great Sui, even if we don't hesitate to go to the soup." ”

Yuan Tiangang was dumbfounded.

This thing is really not something that their father and daughter can call the shots, and they won't even have time to ask for instructions, otherwise they will miss tonight's big event.

Just when Yuan Tiangang was stunned, Yuan Ziyan said, "Uncle Qin, I can agree to this family affair on behalf of the Holy Lord." ”

"......" Yuan Tiangang's face turned dark and dumbfounded, he felt that he had been cheated by his baby daughter.

"Then it's settled." Qin Wang smiled: "By the way, Immortal Chief, do you have any merit tonight?" ”

"Burn Li Yuan's fleet and barracks tonight......" Yuan Ziyan saw that his father was still in a daze, so he told Shen Guang's plan, and then said: "The Tang army is already very tired, and because it is within its own territory, the Tang army soldiers are just acting like this. We have a great chance of success. ”

"If Li Yuan dies in the fire, the credit will be great, thank you to the immortal chief and the virtuous niece for giving us this immortal miracle." Qin Wang was excited for a while, and then said indignantly: "Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji, the son of Li Yuan, burned Gaogong Village, just to vent his anger with his father, which is called the son's debt to the father." ”

Yuan Ziyan hurriedly asked what had happened.

Qin Wang didn't hide it either, and told what happened to the young man.

……

"Daughter, do you think this Li Yuanji is a spy of the Sui Dynasty?" Seeing off Qin Wang, who had been promised and left happily, Yuan Tiangang touched his chin and said, "How do I feel that Li Yuanji is helping us." Although it is a tragic thing for the bureaucrats, for the Great Sui, not only can they easily subdue these three major tribes, but they can even take this as an example to recover all the bureaucratic tribes at a very small cost, and then use the wingmen to deal with the Li Tang Dynasty. ”

"If you think about it, it seems like that's really the case." Yuan Ziyan also felt amused, and said with a smile: "But I think Li Yuanji is also a very ambitious person, he does not hesitate to use murderous means to deal with the bureaucrats, nothing more than to plan to collect the bureaucrats for his own use before Li Yuan reaches Chengdu." If Li Yuan arrives in Chengdu, there will be nothing to do with him. ”

"Don't talk about that." Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and said solemnly: "Daughter, why do you want to agree to this family business?" Is this something we can do to get involved? ”

"In my opinion, it is completely a profitable business for the saint and the bureaucrats to become in-laws, not only to borrow troops to break the Tang army, but also to let the Han people and the bureaucrats let go of hundreds of years of hatred, and lay a good foundation for the stability and prosperity of Yizhou in the future. And Lan Xue'er is still a great beauty, so whether it is public or private, the saint will not suffer. Yuan Ziyan explained.

Yuan Tiangang said angrily: "'Discord' is the national character of the Great Sui, how can you do this?" ”

Yuan Ziyan argued: "The bureaucrats are also a member of the Great Sui, and they are married to their own families, and they can't get along with 'harmony' at all. Even the daughters of the anti-thief, Li Xiuning and Xiao Yuexian, can accept it, why can't they accept Lan Xue'er, who is similar to Shui Tianji? ”

"The saint may not care, but on the queen's side, how can you explain?"

"What the queen cares about is the Holy Lord and the Great Sui Tyrant, my father can go to Uncle Zhang Qiu in advance, and then you can talk about Lan Xue'er Wangfu together, I think that's enough."

"You girl, didn't you let me and your uncle deceive people?" Yuan Tiangang said angrily.

"Father, I said this as if your brothers were so pure and noble." Yuan Ziyan didn't scare him at all, he smiled, and continued to ruthlessly dismantle his father's platform: "For most of your lives, are there still few people who deceive?" What's the harm in scamming one more? ”

"......" Yuan Tiangang was almost angry with her.

"Anyway, it's already happened, and God can't change it. Let's prepare for war, and my daughter also wants to be a county magistrate. ”

"Girl, you're a cheater."

"Father, I have been scolded by you since I was a child. This is only one salute. ”

Yuan Tiangang's whole person was not good, he felt that this was just the beginning.

His hunch never missed.
