As Li Tong said, he had little contact with these Hu chiefs, and they didn't know each other well enough, so he was very vigilant.

When the Hu chieftains, who were eligible to be rewarded, finished dancing, some people were worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so they proposed to immediately send troops to attack the fine seals. After all, the strength of the fine sealing department itself is not weak, once they know that their leader died in Shancheng, and they have defense, it will be much more difficult to annex their departments.

And their trust in King Yong is still not high enough, and they don't want to rejoice in the end, of course, the sooner they receive the reward, the better.

Hearing the cautious words of several Hu chiefs, Li Tong did not make a violent gesture anymore, waved his hand to accept the banquet, and ordered Zhu Hu Ji to retreat, and at the same time asked people to take the materials of the fine seal department, and began to discuss the issue of sending troops to the fine seal department.

After the annexation of Tuyuhun by Tubo, although its land has not yet been completely lost in Tubo, there are still many Dangxiang and Qiang departments active in it who have directly taken refuge in Tubo, which is basically similar to being lost. After the Battle of Chengfengling, the Governor's Mansion of Rail Prefecture was simply abolished.

In the early years of longevity, Wu Zetian, who was still in power at that time, but had been repeatedly defeated in side affairs, was naturally overjoyed, so he also gave great preferential treatment to the Ministry of Fine Seals, and re-established the Governor's Mansion of Rail, with its leader Bai Shi as the governor, and the fine seal Bai Shi was named the county duke, and the official was the general of the right leading army guard.

In addition to the official reward, Wu Zetian also placed the attached small seal in the river island at the confluence of Taoshui and the Yellow River. Its land is located between the valleys of the two major water systems, the water and grass are abundant, suitable for farming and grazing, and it is called the Longyou Paradise.

After learning this, Li Tong realized more that why Bai Shi dared to speak to his face, since entering the Tang Dynasty, he has been honored, and he lives in a place of ointment, and the tribe is growing stronger and stronger, so he naturally has the confidence to be arrogant.

In addition to the abbreviated edition materials collected by the state government, there were also other Hu chiefs who were close to the residence of the Fine Seal Department who commented on what they had learned about the information related to the Fine Seal Department.

Although it is a little disorganized, after a little integration, it can also be seen that this fine sealing department has grown rapidly in the Tang Dynasty in the past few years, and now the department has at least 15,000 accounts, even if it is calculated according to one account and one ding, it is more than 15,000 capable warriors.

The chiefs of the Zhuhu in the hall may know that the seal is powerful, but when they learn the real data, they can't help but smack their tongues secretly for a while. Some of the Hu chiefs, who were not very powerful, were even faintly worried, could such a powerful tribe really be able to divide it up with King Yong's words?

Li Tong didn't give these people too many unrealistic illusions, and said directly: "The thief chief of the fine seal department dares to resents me, and if his people die, his department will be destroyed!" If it is usual, an order to gather the troops of Longyou, gather and attack, and destroy a battle, you can enjoy yourself in peace and lead their departments. But now that the war with the Tibetan Kingdom is intensifying, there are not many idle pawns to spare......"

When the Hu chieftains heard this, they couldn't help but be disappointed. Of course, they also understood that what His Royal Highness King Yong said was a matter, and even they came to Shancheng this time, precisely for this reason, hoping to dissuade King Yong from starting a war with Tubo.

As for now, because the fine seal Bai Shi offended King Yong and died, King Yong was the master of the division again, and the original purpose was no longer important.

Hearing King Yong's clear statement that the Longyou armies would not directly come forward to solve the fine seals, it means that the rewards they received still need to be captured by their own troops, and what King Yong gave them was just a qualification to merge the army without being held accountable by the Tang Dynasty. The risks are still borne by them.

After realizing this, the ecstatic mood of the Hu chiefs suddenly cooled down. To be honest, the reason why they are courteous to a Tang family king who has just entered Longyou is because they are weaker than others, and they do not belong to the strongest group of Longyou Zhuhu.

There were more than fifty Hu chiefs present who were qualified to divide the fine seal department, and if their soldiers were completely gathered, of course, it would also be a force to be reckoned with.

However, their respective tribes are scattered in the Longyou Prefecture, and it takes a lot of time to gather people and horses alone, and there are still many questions worth arguing about, such as how many troops to send, who is in charge and who is secondary, and compensation for battle damages. When they gathered together, the daylilies were cold.

Not to mention that these Hu chiefs showed bitter faces, and some other Hu chiefs who were originally full of loss because they were not qualified to carve up couldn't help but gloat at this time.

They may not have heard the phrase "dog meat can't be on the table", but Longbian Zhuhu, after all, you still have to rely on strength to speak, strength is not good, even if you are rewarded, you can't take it!

Obviously, King Yong's reward is to vent his anger, and he still wants to borrow the power of these Hu tribes to solve the fine seals.

Now that the fine seal Bai Shi has been killed, such a huge tribe as the fine seal department does not have enough strength to solve it. Once the death of its leader causes chaos, it will undoubtedly make King Yong's powerful act disgraced, and in serious cases, it may even affect the war with Tibet.

Thinking of this, the mood of those powerful Hu chieftains improved, some people watched the play with peace of mind, and some people did not want to miss such an opportunity to annex the big tribes, so one of them stepped out and said with his hands crossed: "The lowly Shatuo Assassin History, Zhu Xie Jinshan, is willing to lead the five thousand warriors of the department to the south to kill the thief department for His Highness!" ”

After the Shatuo chieftain Zhu Xie Jinshan made a statement, several other Hu chiefs stood up one after another to express their attitude, and at least they could send two or three thousand troops. And those Hu chiefs who were qualified to be rewarded, but were afraid of the strength of the small sealing department, saw this, some just sighed that their power was inferior, and some could not bear to give up such an opportunity, and also stood up and expressed their willingness to send troops.

Li Tong kept smiling and watching the speeches of the Zhuhu chieftains, and when the heat was almost the same, he said with a smile: "You can be so diligent in the Wang Sect, and you really don't have to worry about the small parts. But full-time work, since there is already a plan, there is no one outside the work. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pointed to a few Hu chiefs who were offering gifts but did not express their stance on sending troops, and asked in a deep voice, "What are the intentions of your members?" People outside the church are enthusiastic, but you people are afraid to speak up. Do you dislike my lack of reward, or are you afraid that the fine seal is powerful? ”

Hearing that King Yong's tone was slightly unkind, several Hu chiefs were also in a cold sweat, and they begged for mercy one after another, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "The lowly clan is far away in the west of Guzang in Liangzhou, although there are thousands of strong men in the department, but if you want to conquer Hezhou and travel thousands of miles, you really have no ability to go back and forth for a long distance, and you can only live up to Your Highness's kindness......"

"So, are you trapped in weakness, and you want to trap me in unbelief?"

Li Tong sneered again after hearing this, he set himself up as a flamboyant and domineering clan dignitary, naturally he would not sympathize with the plight of these Hu chiefs, and only cared about the question of his reputation.

"Don't dare to be lowly and ...... to be lowly"

Several Hu chiefs' faces became even more bitter after hearing this, they didn't expect that the resignation and reward would also annoy this highness, their power was far inferior to the fine sealing department, so they were naturally more frightened.

"The dog thief is so brave that he clearly wants to frame His Highness's good name, and he even dares to quibble!"

The rest of the Hu chieftains were even more gloating when they saw this, especially the leaders of the Hu tribe, who were already powerful, and they were more willing to add a few to the list of annexations.

Seeing that everyone's emotions were provoked again, Li Tong was satisfied.

Only when everyone shouted that he raised his hand to signal silence, looked at the few Hu chiefs who were constantly trembling, and said coldly: "If anyone offends me, there will be severe punishment." If a man is obedient, he will be rewarded. There is a clear distinction between enmity and hatred, and this is the reason for me to deal with people. Since I was born, this has been the case, how can I be trapped by you and a few other humble people to harm my morality as a human being! What is given to you must be received. If there is no reward, do not covet it. ”

At this point, his eyes turned to the powerful Hu chiefs, who were all a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly lowered their heads.

"In this way, the state government sent 3,000 troops, and the rest of the departments gathered 7,000 people, and within ten years, they combined 10,000 troops to destroy the fine sealing department. The food consumed by the 10,000-strong army was deducted from the capture, and the rest was distributed among the troops. ”

This can be regarded as a solution, especially with the state government sending troops as the lead, this battle is undoubtedly more certain. Everyone also expressed their stance and approved of this plan, but several Hu leaders such as Zhu Xie Jinshan, the chief of the Shatuo Tribe, were still excluded from the matter, and they were more or less resentful.

Li Tong didn't ignore them, raised his hand and pointed at these people and said, "Although I like Hu Zhong's self-restraint and courtesy, I also love Hu Zhong's courage and strength who can be diligent in the Wang Sect. Although you are listed outside the list, this loyalty is also commendable and should not be ignored.

In this way, I will give you another chance, to be rewarded by the tribes or those who are weak and difficult to fight, and to reluctantly recruit them, not the way of employing people. You may negotiate with each other, and each of you may use a portion of your possessions to buy a person who is eligible to send troops and receive a reward. ”

Zhu Xie Jinshan and several others couldn't help but be moved after hearing this, each of them had the ambition to strengthen their own tribe, but they were afraid of the restraint and order of the imperial court so they did not dare to arbitrarily annex other weak tribes. Now that King Yong has let go of the deal of merging and receiving rewards, they naturally want to fight for it, so the eyes of several weak chiefs have become fierce.

As for those rewarded Hu Bu, after hearing King Yong's words, they were also greatly relieved for a while. There are hundreds of people with different temperaments, some people want to strengthen the clan and gain greater power, and some people just want to live in peace under the protection of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the opportunity to divide the fine seal department this time is rare, it is also extremely risky to send troops to deal with such a large tribe. If you can avoid playing and gain something, of course, it is the best.

But soon, some people noticed the unkind eyes of those powerful tribes, and realized that the other party had a coercive heart, so they hurriedly said: "The fatwa comes from His Highness, and I implore Your Highness to be the master again......"

"What a nuisance!"

Li Tong waved his hand impatiently and refused, but his heart was happy.
