Chapter 263: You are all from the Tang Dynasty
Half a month later, the leaders of the nearby tribes basically came to Li Chengqian's camp in Kongduigou, and Li Chengqian also began to meet these people in batches.
Hundreds of Tang Dynasty soldiers with bright armor straightened their bodies and solemn expressions, and their javelins stood outside Li Chengqian's Chinese army tent, guarding this Chinese army tent.
In the Chinese military tent, dozens of fierce armor soldiers stood in a row with their swords, and Wang Fangyi and Cheng Wuting on both sides of the handsome position were also wearing helmets and armor, and they stood with murderous aura guarding the handsome position in the middle.
On the handsome position, Li Chengqian was wearing a white regular robe, leaning obliquely on a wide handsome chair covered with white tiger skin, with a handsome face and a lazy demeanor, as if he was an ordinary noble son listening to music in Pingkangfang, Chang'an City, which formed a sharp contrast with the strict Chinese army tent.
At this time, dozens of white-robed Yi people standing in the big tent of the Chinese army stood respectfully in front of Li Chengqian, they were Sogdians, that is, Zhaowu Jiu, these people were all elders with the surname Zhaowu Jiu who were originally attached to the Turkic Department.
After a while, Li Chengqian looked at Mi Anshan, who was standing at the front with shoulder-length short hair and a long white beard, and said softly with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you Li Simo's slaves, how can you come to meet King Gu?"
Mi Anshan and the others looked at this, as if they had expected that Li Chengqian would not accept them easily, and when they heard this, they hurriedly bent down and smiled humbly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty ......"
"Hmm," Li Chengqian didn't wait for him to continue, and interrupted him lightly.
Mi Anshan was stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, Cheng Wu, who was standing next to Li Chengqian, stepped forward, and pointed at Mi Anshan and shouted: "Presumptuous, you were just the domestic slaves of the Turkic Jili Khan at that time, and after the Turks fell to me in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court also arranged pastures for you to graze, how can you still think that you are not from the Tang Dynasty." ”
Mi Ankang hurriedly knelt down when he heard this, trembling, and didn't dare to squeak, but as soon as he figured out the meaning of Cheng Wuting's words, his eyes immediately appeared and he couldn't hide his surprise.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian's eyes showed mockery, but he didn't say anything, and looked at this Mi Anshan lightly and continued to perform.
Unlike modern merchants, who are superior in the world, in ancient times, merchants had a very low status in any country, and the fact that Zhaowu Jiu was a natural merchant indicates that they were born sluts.
They had no status among the Turkic people, and after the Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty also always regarded them as a whole of the Turks, and continued to be oppressed by the Turkic tribes.
This is also the reason why they follow Li Simo closely, because Li Simo is not only the royal family of the Ashina clan, but also has Li Shimin's blue eyes, and he is a general of the Tang Dynasty who can take care of them to some extent.
It's just that I didn't expect Kang Quda to stick it so tightly that it was sold.
The elder surnamed Zhaowu Jiu got the news of Kang Quda's death at that time, and originally wanted to come to Li Simo immediately to make amends, but later heard that Li Simo was forced by Li Chengqian to fight with Xue Yantuo, so he did not rush to send his head.
Later, they received an order from the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, asking them to send the offerings that should be handed over to Li Simo directly to the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion in the future, which made them dare to take refuge in Li Chengqian.
This time, Li Chengqian summoned all the departments of the Hetao to celebrate the order to break through the tent of Xue Yantuo Khan in Dukonggou, and Zhaowu Jiusheng hurriedly prepared to come to meet Li Chengqian.
Mi Anguo heard that Cheng Wuting was angry because he didn't recognize himself as a Tang person, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly lay on the ground and bowed to Li Chengqian's five-body bow and said, "The old slave greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
The other elders surnamed Zhaowu Jiuwu who came in with him also lay on the ground and bowed to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked at his face and said lightly: "Flat!" ”
When Mi Anshan heard this, he hurriedly got up and said to Li Chengqian with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a powerful soldier, and he destroyed Xue Yantuo's thieves in a battle to protect my Tang people's Antai, and my whole clan was very happy to hear about it, and specially prepared a little gift to celebrate His Royal Highness the Prince." As he spoke, he took out a gift slip.
This Mianshan is proficient in several languages for doing business everywhere, and he naturally speaks the language of the Tang Dynasty, which is currently strong.
Li Chengqian glanced at the gift list they presented, there were 10,000 taels of gold alone, which was a heavy gift, but these things were nothing in Li Chengqian's eyes, so he put down the gift list casually and looked at Mian Shan and said: "King Gu just said that you are Li Simo's slaves, have you ever visited Li Simo?"
"Ugh"
Mi Anshan was stunned again when he heard this, Li Chengqian had the intention of showing them, and he could see it, but why did he let them go to see Li Simo?
Several elders looked at each other and didn't know why, but Mi'an Shan still knew what to say at this time.
Hurriedly bent down, and said with a frightened face: "I am waiting to be placed by the Tang Dynasty and protected by His Royal Highness the Prince, and I am the domestic slave of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he said with a smile in his eyes: "Really? Then call Li Simo to make it clear in person. Regardless of Mi Anshan's ugly face as he spoke, he picked up their gift slips and shook them gently in his hand and said, "Save him from thinking that the lonely king is greedy for your gifts and robbed his house slaves, and will repay you in the future." ”
Mi Anshan was simply flattered when he heard this, he wanted to come to them to meet Li Chengqian, to see Li Chengqian, and then to take care of the people around Li Chengqian, and to get a little protection from the Tang Dynasty Crown Prince would also enable them to gain a foothold here.
I don't want Li Chengqian to make it clear to them that they want to make it clear to Li Simo face to face, that is, Li Chengqian personally told the world that the surname Zhaowu Jiu will be taken by him in the future.
Li Chengqian didn't care what Mi Anshan thought in his heart, he directly sent someone to the Turkic camp to summon Li Simo to see him, and then waved his hand to order Mi Anshan and the others to go out first.
After everyone withdrew, Li Chengqian said to Liu Kui, who was standing beside him: "Send someone to find all the leaders of the Turkic tribes who have come here in the past few days." Liu Kui agreed and went out to give orders.
At present, there are more than 100 prefectures in the Tang Guannei Province, and the south is mainly the Dangxiang Qiang, and the northern part is all Turkic remnants.
In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, because they had to fight against Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin ordered them to go with Li Simo to the north of the Yellow River to establish a Turkic tent, and last year because of the fear of Xue Yantuo, they all moved south and returned to the resettlement place set for them by the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhenguan.
Li Chengqian's current place is on the edge of the Yellow River in the northernmost part of Guannei Province, and the people who came to celebrate his achievements were naturally the leaders of the Turkic remnants. When these people arrived at the Kongduigou camp, they all went to see Li Simo first and then came to meet Li Chengqian, and only when Zhaowu Jiu had a dirty relationship with Li Simo did they come directly to see Li Chengqian.
Of course, Li Chengqian wants to make a fuss about this.
Soon, Li Simo strode into Li Chengqian's camp, and saw the elders with the characteristic surname Zhaowu Jiu from a distance, and his heart couldn't help but sink, he was originally a little ashamed of the surname Zhaowujiu, especially Kang Quda, who was already dead.
But at this time, when he saw the elder surnamed Zhaowu Jiu appear in Li Chengqian's camp, a wave of anger immediately rose in his heart, thinking that now that his army's grain and grass were subject to Li Chengqian's might be completely eaten by Li Chengqian at any time, he felt an urge to kill these minions immediately.
