Suza soon brought with him a steppe herdsman wrapped in a black sheepskin jacket.

As soon as he entered the command post, the man immediately crouched on the ground, curled up and kowtowed. Even though he was scolded several times by Suza, this guy still didn't dare to raise his head and speak.

Shang Cheng and several lieutenants all stared at the kowtow worm by the door with a surprised expression. They didn't expect that the guy in front of them, who was dressed in tatters and had a black face full of wrinkles, turned out to be the elder of the Ha family. They really couldn't figure out how such a wooden character who could even speak the grassland dialect could integrate several steppe people into one place to form a new tribe, could it be that the unruly steppe people suddenly changed their temperament and turned into obedient sheep one by one?

Shi Qiqi smiled: "How is this possible. If they all become sheep, what are we going to do with this beacon? ”

"Then they, they ......" Shang Cheng didn't know how to continue, so he had to point his finger at Hahere by the door and ask with his eyes. Since the steppe people are still greedy like wolves, how can they put a person like Hahere as the elder of the tribe?

"It wasn't because of our help that he could be where he is today."

Shi Seventeen said this, and everyone didn't understand it even more. Could it be that this guy can command a tribe, and Shi XVII and the border soldiers of the beacon tower also helped?

"We don't mix these things! Which of them comes out to take care of things, and we have something to do with it! Shi Qiqi immediately defended himself. As for why it is said that Hahere can only be the leader of the upper tribe with the help of the Zhao people, there is also his reason here. In the battle in September, the people suffered a great loss, not to mention one or two thousand dead, and one of the sons of the king of Donglu Valley was left in Liuzhen; The Turks, who had been so badly struck, were sure to take revenge. But when Yan Shanwei came to Liuzhen, he hoarded heavy troops in the direction of Liuzhen, and the people of Tuqi did not have the courage to touch the stones with eggs; Second, at that time, autumn was approaching and winter was approaching, and most of the Turks had already moved to the winter pastures in the north, and they could not temporarily gather people and horses; Third, whoever fights in the winter must consider the issue of food, forage, and ordnance supply...... As a result, the annoyed and angry Tuqi people had to sprinkle all their belly of stuffiness on the grassland, from the Luhe River to the north to Mogan, all the small grassland tribes along the way were all affected, the men were almost killed, the women did not survive, and the cattle, sheep and livestock did not know how much was robbed...... "Several grassland people over there did not escape this catastrophe, and there were only six men left in the more than 20 people, and two of them were dolls whose heads were not as high as sheep's heads." This guy," Shi Qiqi glanced at Hahere, who was kneeling by the door and trembling, and said contemptuously, "This guy is lucky, he didn't meet the Tuqi people on the way here, so why don't you choose a ready-made cheap one to become the leader?" Otherwise, with his temperament of not being able to smash a fart with this stick, if he wants to be the leader of the upper tribe, he will have to wait until the day when the sun comes out of the west. ”

Although Shang Cheng didn't have much expectation for this grassland tribe who took the initiative to defect to Da Zhao, after listening to Shi Seventeen's analysis, he still felt very disappointed.

He sighed in frustration. Originally, he wanted to use this incident to influence more grassland tribes; Now it seems that this can only be his wishful thinking.

But he still had to be patient to soothe Hahere with gentle words. After all, this is the first steppe tribe to take the initiative to submit since he became a false governor, and he has to be encouraged and commended no matter how he says it.

He said to Suza, "You make him stand up." ”

Suza translated this sentence.

But Suza said several times in a row, and Halget seemed not to hear it, and curled up by the door and did not dare to move. Helpless, Suza had no choice but to beckon two soldiers to come over and drag him up. Hahere still didn't dare to raise his head, the whole thing was like a puddle of mud without muscles and bones, hanging loosely on the arms of the two soldiers, and a pair of legs were also dragged on the ground softly, and as soon as the two soldiers let go, he immediately collapsed to the ground. It seems that this guy was completely frightened by the neatly dressed officer Zhao in this room.

Faced with this situation, Shang Cheng was also helpless. He never thought that the first grassland tribe he personally recruited would have such a situation, and he couldn't think of a good way to deal with it in a hurry.

At this time, Shi XVII, who had been dealing with the grassland people for nearly 20 years, had experience. He asked people to find a big bowl, poured a large bowl full of soju, and then poured it all in one breath around Hahre's neck, and finally summoned Hahre's soul back.

Hachre, who was dripping with a neck of wine, crawled on the ground, coughing up saliva and snot all over his face, and howled dryly for a long time.

Suza translated for Shang Cheng: "...... The highest flying Condor, I hope you can accept it, accept it...... Accept our gift and let the Hahe people be your slaves, herding for you, for you for generations...... Cattle and sheep have been grazing on the grasslands for generations. Hahe people are your toes, step on ...... The Hahere people are yours, your ......," Hahere said in fits and starts, and his translation paused for a moment, until in the end he had to give up the difficult task. He said, "My lord, this guy doesn't speak all of his words, and I don't understand what he means......

Fortunately, it's not a big problem to not understand well, and Shang Chengcheng can guess the thoughts of the Hahe people if he guesses. The Hahe people are sincerely obedient to Da Zhao, and he is sure that everything is clear, without the protection of the beacon, whether this tribe can survive the winter is two words; Even if they survive until spring, the Hahe people, who lack young and strong, will not be able to survive independently on the grassland, and their final fate will either be extinction, or they will be divided and annexed by other large tribes. But after defecting to Da Zhao, the situation is completely different. Gutai is the largest beacon tower in Yanshan, there are not only hundreds of garrisons here, but also camps, there are bed crossbows on the wall, there are twenty rhubarb crossbows in the village, hundreds of foot bows and more than 100 war horses, advance can be attacked and retreated, not to mention the ordinary grassland tribes, that is, the smaller Tu Tu tribe, and they will not come to provoke provocations one by one, they do not dare to graze on this grassland. With Da Zhao as a backer, the Hahe people can have a relatively safe foothold on this grassland, and their survival is guaranteed. Besides, when it is really critical, they can still go south, one by one, since they have returned to Da Zhao, Yan Shanwei can't see death without help, right?

Shang Cheng thought for a while and said to Su Zha, "You translate it to him: If you want to return to Da Zhao, you can!" But there is one condition," he looked at Hahere, who was desperately kowtowing to him, and pointed to Suza and the two Hachagen guards and said, "If you want to get rid of Da Zhao's household registration, there are strict rules, unless you are like them, you have made war exploits on the battlefield, that is, you can exchange the heads of the Tu Tu people for household registration." However, considering your current situation, and as a reward for you to be the first to submit to Dazhao, I can appropriately relax this article: you are allowed to graze on this grassland as a subordinate border household of this beacon tower...... "Of course, it is impossible for the Hahe people to become real border households; The real border households, no matter what reason they were demoted to the side households, at least they are all Zhao people. Moreover, Shang Cheng did not have the right to allow the Hahe people to settle down, and the imperial court would not give him such rights.

It took Suza a long time to make Hahere understand what a side household was and what the side household of the beacon tower should do.

Hahere, who came to the beacon tower to try his luck because of the promise of ten sheep of the greedy tribe, was almost crushed to death by the pie that fell from the sky. He crawled on the ground, grinning and crying with a mouth that was missing a dozen teeth, and swore as he cried that he would never betray the one-eyed general in front of him in his life. In order to express his gratitude, he was even willing to offer his favorite and most beautiful wife to the general. He can also dedicate the two daughters born in the year when the white-haired wind blows the hardest to the general. In fact, the two daughters, whom he described as "as clear as the water of the deer river, as delicate as the grass in spring, and as beautiful as the stars in the sky," are now under the age of eight......

Fortunately, Su Gengen couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he casually translated something, so Shi Qiqi, who had seen his mother-in-law and daughter with his own eyes, couldn't expose his "lies". As for the one-eyed general Shang Cheng, he was not at all interested in the feathered horses and women sent by Hahere.

After eating, when leaving the beacon tower, the kind-hearted Shi Qiqi quietly told Shang Cheng that it was responsible for letting these Hahe people enter the border households, so after returning to Liuzhen, don't take it out to publicize it, otherwise beware of being reprimanded and punished.

"Brigade Marshal Shao," until now, he still thought that Shang Chengcheng was Shao Chuan, the brigade commander stationed in the town guard. "You have to be careful not to get caught. Even these officers around you, you have to warn them carefully, don't spread rumors everywhere......"

Shang Cheng smiled and asked him rhetorically, "How do you know that my surname is Shao?" ”

"Uh......" Shi Seventeen stammered and couldn't answer.

Shang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, said "Thank you for your hospitality" and rode away.

"How can we adults be Shao Chuan's wine turtle!" Stone said on the side.

"Not Shao Chuan? So who is your adult? ”

Shi ignored him and chased after Shang Cheng.

A captain of the Wei Army, who knew Shang Cheng's identity and was somewhat familiar with Shi Qiqi, quietly pointed his eyes and spit out two words: "...... Blind"

It's a pity that Shi XVII didn't hear it clearly at that time. It wasn't until he returned to the beacon tower that he suddenly realized:

Half a day, half a day with him to eat and drink and laugh, that is, that is, that is...... Is it a blind businessman?!
