After Xue Ne finished speaking, he walked out of the big tent to inspect the camp, leaving Li Xingzhou alone in the tent and contemplating.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xingzhou knew why Xue Ne used soldiers when he met with the party members.

The Dangxiang ethnic group is one of the ethnic minorities in the ancient north, which belongs to a branch of the Western Qiang ethnic group, so it has the title of "Dangxiang Qiang".

The Qiang originated from the "Cizhi" or "Xizhi", that is, the area of the Yellow River in the southeast of Qinghai Province.

During the Han Dynasty, a large number of Qiang people moved to Helong and Guanzhong. At this time, the Dangxiang people lived a primitive nomadic tribe life that did not know the crops and the grass and trees.

They took the tribe as the division unit and the surname as the tribal name, and gradually formed the famous eight party items, among which the Tuoba clan was the most powerful.

During the Tang Dynasty, after two internal relocations, the party was gradually concentrated in the eastern part of Gansu and the northern part of Shaanxi, and it was still dominated by scattered tribes.

The Tang Central Committee mostly set up prefectures in the gathering places of the Dangxiang ethnic groups for administration, and the chiefs of the Dangxiang tribes were appointed as state governors or other official positions.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, when the Huangchao Rebellion occurred, the Tang King passed on the title of King Qin of the whole country.

Dangxiang clan Youzhou Thorn Shi Tuoba Sigong sent troops, Tang Xizong gave Tuoba Sigong as "the envoy of the difficult army", and was later named Xia Guogong and given the surname Li.

At this point, the Dangxiang Tuoba clan group had a territory, and its jurisdiction included Xia, Yin (now southeast of Yulin, Shaanxi), Sui (now Suide), You (now Jingbiandong), Jing (now Mizhidong) and other five states, holding military power, becoming a veritable feudal town.

During the Song Dynasty, Li Jiqian began to resist the Song Dynasty independently.

After Li Yuanhao ascended the throne of King Xia, he issued a bald order, and worked hard to absorb Han culture, created the Dangxiang script, and promoted the development of the Dangxiang civilization.

In the first year of Yanzuo (1038), Li Yuanhao was officially proclaimed emperor and established Western Xia.

This is the beginning of the establishment of national power by the party and the pinnacle of the history of the party's development. During the Western Xia period, the culture and economy of the Dangxiang ethnic group achieved unprecedented development, and gradually developed through exchanges with the Han and other fraternal ethnic groups.

Later, it was destroyed by Genghis Khan, and the Dangxiang clan gradually disappeared.

Since ancient times, the Qiang people have occupied the grasslands around Qinghai Lake and the mountains south of Qinghai Lake, near the source of the Yellow River, Datong River, and Huangshui.

On the edge of this area, in the northeastern part of Tibet, it is customarily called Amdo, and the early Dangxiang and Tibetan ancestors probably lived in this area.

A study of the Dangxiang language confirms that, in terms of classification, the people who speak the Dangxiang language can be classified as ancient members of the Tibeto-Burmese nation. In terms of their culture, the Dangxiang people have many characteristics of other Qiang ethnic groups.

The ancient Qiang nationality was a large family, with many branches, some of which were divided by region, such as: Bailanqiang, Tangchang Qiang and so on.

There are also divisions according to ethnic groups, such as: Dangxiang Qiang, Tugu Hun Qiang and so on.

In the fourth year of Emperor Wen of Sui, there were more than 1,000 party members and Qiang people who belonged to the Sui State.

In the following year, Tuoba Ningcong, the leader of the Dangxiang clan, led the tribes to Xuzhou (now Lintan County, Gansu) to request attachment, and the Sui Dynasty awarded Tuoba Ningcong as the generalissimo.

In the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, the party leaders attacked Huizhou, and the troops were defeated and surrendered, and sent their children to the court to apologize for their sins and pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty.

During the Wude period of the early Tang Dynasty, the party phase rate belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

There are eight well-known tribes in Dangxiang Qiang, including the Xifeng clan, the Fei Ting clan, the Xiang Li clan, the Pochao clan, the Ye Li clan, the Mi Bao clan, and the Tuoba clan, in addition to the tribes such as the Black Dangxiang and the Snow Mountain Dangxiang.

Among them, the Tuoba tribe is the most powerful.

Tang Taizong Zhenguan three years Tang Dynasty Nanhui Prefecture Governor Zheng Yuan hesitated to recruit the party to be attached, one of the party leaders of the fine seal Bu Lai rate to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty set up a track state in its place, and awarded the fine seal Bu Lai as the history of the thorn.

Other party tribes also responded, and set up four prefectures, Feng, Yan, and Yuan, and used the original chiefs of each department to serve as the assassins of each state.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Tang sent an edict to open the river to 16 states, and there were 340,000 people attached to the party

At that time, Tuoba Chici, the chief of the Tuoba Department of the Dangxiang Tuoba Division, who had been married to Murong Fuyun, the king of Tuyuhun, also joined the Tang Dynasty when he was defeated in the battle with the Tang Dynasty and the people rebelled and left.

Tang divided its territory into 32 prefectures, including Yi, Sa, Lin, and Ke, and appointed the attached tribal leaders as assassins, and Tuoba Chici was appointed as the governor of Xirong Prefecture, given the surname Li, and was controlled by the Longxi Governor's Mansion and was named the Duke of Pingxi.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the state of Tubo on the Tibetan Plateau was increasingly expanded, and it went north and destroyed Tuyuhun, and invaded and coerced the Dang Xiangqiang.

The Dangxiang tribes scattered in the southern part of present-day Gansu and Qinghai migrated southward, and the Tang Dynasty moved to the 25 Dangxiang prefectures under the jurisdiction of Jingbian Prefecture to Gyeongju.

The original residence of the Dangxiang clan was occupied by Tubo, and the remaining residents of Dangxiang were the servants of the Tubo aristocracy, and Tubo called these people "medicine".

Although the eight clans of the party have nominally been subordinated to the Tang Dynasty, in fact, they are completely obedient to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and the party item is still the original party item, just like an independent kingdom.

This time Tubo attacked Longxi, and it must have been indispensable for the acquiescence of the party members.

You must know that if the Tubo people want to reach Longxi, they must pass through the Dafeichuan and Jishi Mountains controlled by the party.

Therefore, the party must bear a certain amount of responsibility for this incident.

It's just that the top priority now is to solve the troubles in Tibet first, and it is not the time for a showdown with the party.

Xue Ne also wanted to take this opportunity to shake the unstable leaders of the Dangxiang tribe.

Tell them that Datang is still something they can't afford to mess with, and it's best to put away the kind of thinking of sitting on the mountain and watching the fire fight.

Li Xingzhou had to admire Xue Ne's old spiciness, although he also thought of raiding the Tubo camp, but he really didn't expect so much, Xue Ne's hand can really be described as killing three birds with one stone, hitting Tubo, inspiring the morale of the army, and deterring the party.

No wonder I haven't seen Xue Chuzhen of the left guard until now, you must know that the five tigers of the Xue family, the most fierce is the fourth Xue Chuzhen!

I'm afraid that as soon as I arrived in Longxi, I would have been sent out to carry out the raid plan.

"Generalissimo, this time the army is numerous, and there are not enough military doctors, I wonder if we can recruit some from the people?"

Li Xingzhou suddenly thought of something, now that winter is about to begin, coupled with the unique climate of the plateau, I am afraid that these Tang soldiers who are used to fighting on the plains will definitely fall ill by then.

So it's better to prepare in advance, although I brought a lot of high levels of drunkenness this time.

But this can only achieve the effect of cold repellent and disinfection, and the rest is not of much use.

So, Li Xingzhou pulled Xue Ne into a corner and whispered something, after listening to what Li Xingzhou said, Xue Ne was immediately taken aback and asked in a low voice.

"Li Xingzhou, is this true?"

"Generalissimo, whether it's true or not, I don't know, but I think there must be a demon when things go wrong, so it's better to make more preparations!"

Li Xingzhou will not pack tickets indiscriminately when he is not sure, that is not smart, but stupid.

Xue Ne looked at Li Xingzhou's serious face and didn't die to fake, so he thought for a while, nodded and said with an attitude that he would rather believe it or not.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, remember to act in secret, and never let people find out, you know?"

"Generalissimo, don't worry, I'm free!"

Li Xingzhou saw that Xue Ne agreed, so he also put his mind at ease.

The others didn't know what Xue Ne and Li Xingzhou had been talking about for a long time, anyway, Li Xingzhou left after talking.

After coming to Zuo Wuwei's station, Li Xingzhou immediately called Xiong Yanfu over, and after Li Xingzhou whispered instructions to Xiong Yanfu, he turned back and returned to Xue Ne's big tent, as for other things, Xiong Yanfu would arrange it.

Jishi Mountain is really close to Longxi, and it has been there for an hour of horseback riding, looking at the Dazhai in the mountain col, there are party youths everywhere who do not leave their bows.

Li Xingzhou's heart was full of shock, no wonder the party members have always been so good at fighting.

This party was born to constantly challenge the mountains in order to survive, how can he not be skillful?

No wonder Li Yuanhao in later generations can establish Western Xia.

There are these Dang Xiang Eight clans who can fight well, plus the mysterious Snow Mountain tribe.

The party members can pull up an army of tens of thousands of people at any time, no wonder Xue Ne doesn't want to turn his face with the party members at this time.

Dangxiang Eight Clans, Fine Feng Clan, Fei Ting Clan, Xiang Li Clan, Po Chao Clan, Tuoba Clan, Fang Dang Clan, Mi Bao Clan, Tuoba Clan, among which this Tuoba tribe is the Tuoba clan's Dazhai.

The Tuoba clan is the undisputed clan in the party, but Li Xingzhou is not too interested in this Tuoba clan, what he wants to know is what is going on with the mysterious Snow Mountain tribe.

Tuoba Chunhua had long known that Xue Ne would definitely come, and there were scouts along the way to report.

So when Xue Ne and his party came here, Tuoba Chunhua was not surprised at all.

Tuoba Chunhua has a beard, his head is bare, only two small braids are hung, and he is wearing a big cotton robe, which is very traditional party dress.

Although the hair of the party men is very cute, they are not cute at all, and they all have angry eyes and fierce looks, as if they want to eat people.

Although Tuoba Chunhua has been given the surname "Li".

But Xue Ne still said: "Tuoba Patriarch, I haven't seen him for many years, it's always good?" ”

The party members attach great importance to the surname, and it can be said that the Tuoba family is a kind of honor.

If it is really changed to Li, it will also be abandoned by the party members, and Xue Ne will certainly not do anything to make Tuoba Chunhua angry.

"General Xue, thank you for your concern, the old Tuoba is very strong, don't believe it, we can have a competition tonight to see who falls first!"

Tuoba Chunhua's heroic spirit, although he is over half a hundred years old, still has the boldness of the party members.

Seeing Xue Ne and Tuoba Chunhua like this, I don't know if I think the two of them are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years.
