Chapter 585: Meeting the Messenger
Tiele wants to negotiate peace, which is not a bad thing for the vanguard, the situation in Liaobei is not well understood, and the forces between the various tribes know that the forces between the tribes need to be further understood through this time by bringing troops here.
Otherwise, it may be possible to defeat some tribes with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but it is difficult to say whether the entire Liaobei can be conquered in the end.
In this case, it is better to talk about it first and see what Tiele means, Li De pondered that he knew that the current name of this Tiele tribe was not very big.
But it will be very influential in the future, because there is a Gaoche tribe in the fifteen tribes, and their name is Xue Yantuo, which will later dominate the north after the Turks.
In the early stage, it was supported by the Tang Dynasty, and later became stronger and stronger through hard work.
Now the vanguard is facing a tribe that has not yet risen.
"Okay, since Tiele wants to talk, then send someone to inform them and let them come." Li Dedao.
"Yes, our scouts will be on their way right away." Shi Huaiyi said.
The names of the people in the Tiele tribe are very special, and the person who came to negotiate this time is called Yida, who is a negotiation official elected by the fifteen tribes.
The scouts sent by Shi Huaiyi escorted this Yida to the observation post along the way, and it was the beginning of negotiations.
In Li De's barracks war room, all the lieutenants were there, and they were all observing this person from Tie Lelai, a middle-aged man of medium stature who looked a little weak.
He is the envoy Yida this time, and he seems to be a very ordinary person who is very influential in the Tiele tribe, especially for the leader of Tiele, in addition to having blood relatives, he is also a right-hand man.
"Yida already knows your intentions, if you have something to say, just say it, we don't need to detour." Li De said, and the translator next to him was saying it again.
"The Metropolitan Governor from the Sui State, it makes me feel cordial to see you, our Tiele tribe is peace-loving, we hope that the vanguard will stop sheltering the tribes within Tiele's power, after all, they are our Tiele people, so we like to be able to stop fighting." Yida said.
Li De listened to what the translator next to him said, and in many places, he had to ask the half-baked translator to ask clearly before he could continue to speak, and the communication was relatively slow.
"Tell them that they don't want war, that they can open up trade, and recognize the status of vanguards, and that whatever belongs to us in the future, the Tiele tribe will never invade." Li Dedao.
Yida listened carefully, peace was mutual, and what they hoped was that the vanguard would not set foot in Tieler's sphere of influence, and it was obvious that the vanguard would not agree to this.
"We, Tieler, want to stop some offensive behaviors, and it is impossible to agree to the tribal belonging within Tieler's forces." Yida continued.
"Since we don't agree, then let's end our peace talks." Li Dedao.
In many cases, the diplomacy of the vanguard does not tell others about conditions, because they are the only ones who are qualified to offer conditions, and never accept any conditions from the enemy.
"Governor, I hope you can think about it, although we don't have many soldiers and horses in Tiele, I believe that it will not be beneficial to really go to war." Yida said calmly.
Li De also thought that if the current situation could be resolved through negotiation, the vanguard could be given more time to develop the tribe.
They had never been afraid of war.
In the end, the negotiations did not come to an end, and Yida left, bringing back the conditions offered by the vanguard to Tieler.
When the people of the three tribes learned of the purpose of the vanguards, most of them were already in the process of registering their household registrations, and the outpost camp was now a transit center for logistical supplies.
Food, grass and various supplies from the city were sent here, and most of the soldiers were now scattered in the barracks of the three tribes.
The people of the tribe know about the things that the people of the Tiele tribe came to negotiate, and they also want to know what the final result is, after all, they will be taken care of by the vanguard in the future, and knowing more will also determine their attitude towards the vanguard in the future.
No one likes to tie an entire tribe into the hands of an incapable force, and the people of the tribe don't look like they have no ability to resist, but they all know very well that if the county vanguard can't protect them, they will be even more ruthless when the time comes.
Now the situation that these two sides are facing is this, what the tribe needs is a safe, comfortable life, and whoever can give them what they need will stand with whomever they want.
Li Dehao knows this truth very well, if it is really according to Tieler's peace negotiation conditions, although there is no loss, but it will lose the trust of the tribe, and even if the victory is really won, the people of the tribe will be afraid rather than fearful.
If people who are more powerful than the vanguard appear, they will still be indifferent to the past, this is the reality.
Li De's rejection of Tieler's envoy was an attitude, and he was also dissatisfied with the conditions they offered, and if he wanted peace talks, he needed to show sincerity.
The conditions are all prescribed by the strong.
After sending Yida away, the leaders of the three tribes were called for a meeting, and Li De directly grouped the three tribes into one tribe and asked them to arrange it according to the official system of Youzhou City.
Planning of the field, living area, and assistance in construction.
The leaders of the tribe were very surprised when they heard this, and they thought that this was to unite the tribe, which was unimaginable before.
Because on the tribal side, there are two ways to achieve tribal integration, one is to merge through war, and the other is to gather together by coincidence.
Needless to say, the former requires coincidence and time, and it is not easy to gather into a tribe, and if they want to, they can pull up a troop of troops.
There are many objective factors that choose tolerance, such as the lack of a good leader, the fact that people in the tribe do not like war, in short, there are many reasons.
The appearance of the vanguard is to break the shackles between the tribes, Li De's way of thinking is very simple, several tribes gather together to form a big tribe, but in the end they will be separated due to external forces, indicating that their union relationship is not solid.
Just like the three tribes now, they all need the protection of the vanguard, since this is the case, Li De will directly solve his worries in advance.
Integration does not mean living together, but there are no boundaries between tribes, in Li De's view, the people in the tribe are all people, why should they be divided into many forces.
After the merger, the vanguard soldiers and horses will be able to relieve a lot of burden, and when the land is planned, the tribe will enter the agricultural lifestyle.
In the future, they will face the battle to defend the fields together.
After listening to Li De's explanation, the leaders of the three tribes first looked at each other, farming life They have heard of the life of the Sui Kingdom, and they can eat enough if they farm, thinking that there is nothing bad after integration.
The key is that the management model of the tribe will be changed to the way of following Youzhou, and they are a little unsure of their first contact with this.
