By September 20, the 50,000 Western Expeditionary Army led by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, had already set foot in the land of the Qinling Mountains at this moment, and perhaps had made contact with the Wei people of the Ji Wei clan in Longxi, and had a series of wars with the Qin State.

On the side of Sanchuan, Zhao Hongrun was entertaining the patriarchs of more than 100 tribes of the three tribes of Shangxi, Qian, and Lu in the land of Sanchuan.

I think that when the Wei State invited the tribes twenty miles outside Chenggao Pass to negotiate the matter of borrowing the road in the name of Hejiao, only half of the larger tribes in the land of Sanchuan came, and only Bitatu, the patriarch of the Qiangjiao tribe, attended the meeting.

And now, Zhao Hongrun once again invited the tribes of Sanchuan near the tribal camp of the Chengjiaojiao tribe in Henan, and almost all the tribes in this land that have already established scale are present, and even those small tribes with hundreds of people are urgently surrounded, making this meeting a veritable meeting of more than 100 tribes.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun didn't bother to wait for the tribal patriarchs who had not yet attended the meeting, anyway, the clansmen of the powerful tribes in the land of Sanchuan were all present, and the rest was left to the "Yushui Alliance" to deal with it himself.

On the same day, Zhao Hongrun held a drinking party in a huge felt tent, and entertained the more than 100 large, medium and small tribal patriarchs with the wine of the Wei State newly transported from Chenggao Pass, as well as the delicious food provided by the Luoshui Alliance.

However, for what purpose did these people attend this meeting in person, but it is undeniable that their presence in person made Zhao Hongrun very satisfied.

Especially the presence of the chiefs of the tribes of the Karma people.

It can be seen that not all of them are as conceited as Bitatu.

The fly in the ointment is that the Wuxu Royal Court has not sent anyone over until this moment, which makes Zhao Hongrun secretly unhappy.

However, it is not happy to be unhappy, but for now, Zhao Hongrun does not have enough strength to accuse the Wuxu Royal Court.

After all, the Wusu Royal Court is like the royal family of the Zhusanchuan tribe, and even the people of the Wusu tribe who want to get rid of the shadows of the two tribes will almost obey the will conveyed by the Wusu Royal Court.

There is no way, the rules of the Wuxu royal court ruling the tribes of Sanchuan have been extended for hundreds of years in the three tribes of Xuan, Xuan, and Xuan, although Zhao Hongrun now has a good prestige in Sanchuan, but compared with the Wuxu royal court, it is still a world of difference.

However, thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun felt that there was a good side to the Wusu Royal Court not sending someone here, at least he didn't have to bother to think about whether the only main seat at the meeting would be seated by him, or be given to the envoy of the Wusu Royal Court.

At the banquet, Zhao Hongrun sat on the main seat with a calm face, and in the middle of the banquet, two groups of people sat on the left and right: the tribal patriarchs of the Ruoshui Alliance sat in a row, and the tribal patriarchs who did not join the Ruoshui Alliance sat in a row, which was clearly distinguished.

Looking at this arrangement, Baturu, the great patriarch of the Qiang tribe, and Actun, the great patriarch of the Ling tribe, would glance at each other from time to time when they were drinking, probably conveying some message to each other.

After half a ring, the great patriarch of the Qiang tribe, Baturu, spoke: "(Zun language) Respected King Su, I thought that the people who participated in this meeting were all the patriarchs of all tribes...... After that, he turned his head to look at Ordmer, the leader of the tribe who represented the Yi tribe, and asked with a smile: "Erdemer, where is the old fellow of Feiyang Tahui?" ”

Erdemer smiled slightly and explained: "The old patriarch's body is not as strong as the big patriarch, and the old patriarch thinks that I can attend this meeting on behalf of the Yi tribe, and I have also asked for the understanding of King Su. ”

"Hmph." Baturu, the great patriarch of the Karma tribe, snorted noncommittally, and then muttered lightly: "If I knew this was the case, I would have sent someone to attend the meeting, so why bother to rush over by myself?" With that, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun on the throne intentionally or unintentionally.

"Oh, are you coming at me?"

Zhao Hongrun snorted secretly, after all, the Qian, Ling, and the Qi are all big tribes of the Qi people, and their relationship with each other is relatively harmonious, so there would not be any dissatisfaction because of such a trivial matter, it is obvious that the dissatisfaction in his heart is not that the big patriarch from the Qi tribe did not show up, but because Zhao Hongrun used disguised threats to force them to attend this meeting.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said, "The great patriarch of the Qiang tribe, is this king not entertaining well?" This king seems to see that you have a lot of dissatisfaction. ”

Baturu, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe, didn't seem to expect Zhao Hongrun to say so bluntly that he was "dissatisfied in his heart", and after taking a few deep glances at Zhao Hongrun, he smiled and said: "I just wondered, I thought that this meeting, 'must' be the patriarch of each tribe to attend!" ”

He deliberately added the word "must" in his remarks, which was intended to satirize Zhao Hongrun's soft threat in that invitation.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Of course, 'must' is the patriarch of each tribe, after all, what this king wants to state this time is a major matter related to Sanchuan." …… However, since the great patriarch of the Yi tribe was not in good health, how could this king refuse Ordmer's legitimate request without being kind? …… Since the king himself agreed, there is no problem! ”

What does it mean to say, "Since the king himself has agreed, then there is no problem"?

Baturu, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe, obviously understood the deep meaning of Zhao Hongrun's words, and couldn't help but change the color of the ground slightly.

Immediately, he said with a smile: "King Su is worthy of defeating the young man who defeated Bitatu, this bearing is really amazing...... Those young people of my tribe are far worse than King Su. Well, but then again, they don't dare to speak to me, and if I get angry, I'll punish them for cleaning up the sheep's droppings. ”

When Zhao Hongrun heard this, he said with a smile: "It seems that the rules of the Qian tribe are relaxed...... If it is in my Dawei, tsk, I dare not imagine. The laws of my Great Wei are also quite severe, for example, being rude to the king who is a royal family, this article alone is enough to sentence him to death. …… It's not as simple as cleaning up sheep manure. ”

"......" Baturu, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe, heard this, and looked at Zhao Hongrun deeply, but Zhao Hongrun looked at him with a smile on his hand.

And inside the tent, the patriarchs of the other tribes looked at each other.

Although the tone of Zhao Hongrun and Baturu was not unusual, everyone could hear that their words were mixed with sticks and sticks, and they were competing against each other.

"King Su is really domineering...... Is it because he defeated the horns? Baturu asked calmly.

There was a great deal of sarcasm in his calm words.

Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "No, defeating the Karma Horn is not enough to make this king domineering, but this king has the honor to invite the Great Patriarch of Balutu to attend this meeting. ”

I have to say that the irony in Zhao Hongrun's words is even stronger.

Just when the two were facing each other, Actun, the patriarch of the Ling tribe, stood up, stopped the quarrel between the two, and said with a croissant cup in his hand: "I, Actun, came this time because I heard that King Su intends to resolve the conflict between the Wei people and the people of my three rivers, if this meeting is such a meaningless quarrel, then there is no need for this meeting to be held." …… Baturu, put away your fiery temper, our enemies today are Pakistanis, don't make people who could be friends become enemies because of small things. ”

Baturu, the patriarch of the Karma tribe, smacked his lips and drank to himself and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Acton turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, and said: "Please forgive our offence, respected King Su, although the wine of Wei is very delicious, we are not here to drink, please respect King Su to start stating that matter related to my Sanchuan." …… At present, my Ling tribe and the Qian tribe are at war with the Ba people, please forgive King Su. ”

"Are the people fighting against the Pakistanis?"

Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised when he heard this, and he suddenly realized: No wonder until the defeat of the Karma, it is said that the Karma tribe that has a good relationship with the Karma tribe has never sent troops to support Bitatu, it turns out that they were dragged by the Pakistanis.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun nodded and said, "Okay, since this is the case, this king will explain the purpose of this meeting." After that, he paused, and said: "This time the war between my Great Wei and Sanchuan stems from the matter of 'borrowing the way', and Bitatu is arrogant and conceited, not only frequently provoking my Great Wei, but also trying to be unfavorable to my Great Wei, therefore, this king led the army to destroy it, and from now on, Sanchuan no longer has the clan name of 'Qiangjiao'!" ”

Listening to these categorical words, the tribal patriarchs in the tent couldn't help but whisper in a low voice, but the tribal patriarchs of the Yushui Alliance didn't seem to hear it.

Raising his hand to signal the patriarchs in the tent to calm down, Zhao Hongrun said again: "Of course, this does not mean that my Great Wei regards Sanchuan as an enemy, this king believes that the Qiangjiao is just an example, and the vast majority of the Qiang, Qiang, and Qiang tribes still hope to live in harmony with my Great Wei." Therefore, this king imitated the "Oath of Ughu" and established the "Tsusu Alliance", and today, twenty-four tribes (plus the Wubian tribe) have joined it. …… Today, on behalf of our Great Wei, this king announces that our Great Wei has officially established diplomatic relations with the "Alliance of the Great Water". ”

Establish diplomatic relations with the Confederacy?

And not the whole of Sanchuan?

What's going on? Could it be that the Wei State regarded the 'Alliance of the Waters of the Heavens' as a country?

And what about the rest of the tribes?

The tribal patriarchs present were shocked and suspicious.

They originally thought that Zhao Hongrun had gathered the patriarchs of these tribes together after defeating the Qiangjiao tribe in order to use Yu Wei, who had defeated the Qiangjiao, to deter them, but they didn't expect that the other party was just to announce this matter.

However, thinking about the impact of this incident made their faces different.

However, Zhao Hongrun ignored the comments of the tribes present, and continued to state to himself: "After the establishment of diplomatic relations between our Great Wei and the Great Wei Alliance, we will start trading with each other, and our Great Wei regards all the forces that threaten the Great Wei Alliance and provoke peace between the two sides as enemies......

I have to say that the generous treatment stated by Zhao Hongrun made every patriarch present feel excited.

You must know that before this, Sanchuan and Wei were not without transactions, but it was only private, after all, every country has smuggling merchants, even Wei is no exception.

But at the moment, it is the entire Wei State that opens its market to Sanchuan, which means that the sheepskins, wool and other specialties hoarded by the Zhusanchuan tribes can be exchanged for salt, rice, condiments, cotton, and even weapons from the Wei market.

The only problem was that Wei only established diplomatic relations with the Yu League and began to trade.

Faintly, the patriarchs present had realized what the "major events that are enough to affect the three rivers" that the Su King in front of him was referring to.

That's really, enough to turn Sanchuan upside down. (To be continued.) )
