The murderer was the people of Xue Yantuo's mission, and the leader was called Kang Zha Jushan, who was the confidant of Xue Yantuo's little khan. ”

In the palace, Li Xian, the commander of the Imperial City Division, was reporting to the emperor about the vicious incident that had just happened.

"Kang? Could it be that he is a Zhaowu Hu? ”

"Yes, Kang Zha Jushan's father is a Zhaowu Hu person, a native of Kangguo in Hezhong, and belongs to Zheqi."

The crown prince was puzzled and asked, "Isn't Kang Guo a Sogdian?" How do you say that he belongs to Zheqi? ”

Li Xian smiled and said to the prince, "Your Highness doesn't know anything, this Zhe Qiang is the Hou Zhao clan when the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were established!" ”

Now the prince was even more puzzled.

"Li Xian, you will give the prince a history lesson today and tell him about the history of this Zhejiao."

"Yes, saint."

Li Xian, as an admiral of the Imperial City, although he is a eunuch, he is educated and knowledgeable, and he can also command wars on horseback and archery, and he is also a good hand at intelligence, and he is an all-round talent except for not being able to grow a beard and have children.

He spoke eloquently to the crown prince Jiawen.

"The Qiang people did not appear for a long time in the history of the Central Plains, when the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Qiang people established the Later Zhao, and once dominated northern China, but if you study carefully, in fact, the Qiang people are not a real nation, and they cannot be compared with Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu, etc. Because the Qiang people were only a branch of the Xiongnu at first. Before the Qiang people entered the fortress, they belonged to the Xiongnu, that is, the other parts of the Xiongnu. ”

"If you want to trace the roots, then the people actually come from the river."

"Where are the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu?"

"The prince is smart, the Qianren belong to the small part of the nineteen Qiangqu species of the Southern Xiongnu, and as late as the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have migrated to Bingzhou with the Southern Xiongnu and lived in the Shangdang area. The appearance of the Qiang people is also more prominent, they have a high nose, deep eyes, and many beards, which is quite different from the Hu people in the north, so the Turks often call them Zhaowu Hu. ”

As another part of the Qiang Canal, the ancestral source of the Qiang people is in the river, and the Qiang Canal is Kangju.

"Kangju is also translated as Qiangqu, thousands of years ago, here is the name of the province of ancient Persia, that is, Sogdia in the ancient books of our country, also known as Zhaowu nine surnames, nine surnames Hu."

The crown prince immediately said, "I know the surname Zhaowu Jiu, aren't they the descendants of the Yue clan who moved west from the Zhangye area in Hexi before?" ”

"The prince remembered well, the Yue clan moved west, and later established the Kushan Empire, ruling Hezhong and Daxia and other places, and then the Guishan perished, and some of the Yue descendants established the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms in the river. The nine surnames of Zhaowu are also recorded as Sogdians. It's just that what most people don't understand is that their local clans are actually divided into north and south in China's history books, with nomads in the north and city-states settlers in the south. The settlers of the southern city-states, known as Sogdians, were good at business and farming. And the northern nomads, known as Zheqi, later became famous mercenary warriors in the land of Bactria in the middle of the river. ”

Since the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been many Zheqi moving eastward.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, in the past few hundred years, the Qian people have moved a wide range, some of them moved east with the Xiongnu to Mobei in the early years, and some moved to settle in Hedong and Hebei with the Southern Xiongnu, and naturally there are also those who stayed in the middle of the Western Regions.

In the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Qian people who settled in the area of Bingzhou also rose for a period of time, and after the establishment of Zhao, they once dominated the north.

"Nowadays, the Kangguo of Hezhong calls these nomadic people ochre, and Anguo is called Zheqi, and many nomadic people have begun to specialize in the profession of hiring samurai, walking on the Silk Road."

Whether it is Zhe or Zhe Zhe or Qi people, they are actually a group of people, and they are now the most famous professional mercenary warriors in the East and West.

Back then, Ran Min killed Hu Ling and killed hundreds of thousands of people, but he didn't kill them all.

Later, Er Zhurong and Hou Jing were all Xianbei people, and in the hometown of the people, in the Hezhong area, there are still many people.

"It turns out that the ins and outs of the people are like this, Admiral Li knows a lot." The prince praised.

Li Xian smiled slightly, and even said that he only knew a little about the skin.

"Sage, the father of this Kangzha Meat Mountain is a Zhaowuhu, a Qianren who came to the Central Plains with the Southern Xiongnu a long time ago, and later retreated to Mobei with the Turks, and then attached to Xue Yantuo. Kangza's father married a Turkic witch with the surname Ashd. Because of infertility for many years after marriage, she later came to Zha Ju Mountain to pray to God and then became pregnant, so she took this name after giving birth. ”

Luo Cheng nodded.

"Since this Kangzha Shan is a warrior and a man of mud, then I almost know the reason for this attack on the Hui Mission. It seems that this mud man is dissatisfied with my failure to promise to canonize Xue Yantuo as the Great Khan to him, and at the same time did not agree to his request for help, and sent troops to fight against Hui Hui, which is in a hurry. ”

"The saint, it was Ni Yuxian who did not deliver the promised bride price as agreed, and he missed the appointment first, so the saint naturally does not need to fulfill his promise. The sage didn't blame him, and let him continue to be the little Khan of Xue Yantuo, which was already a gift to him, and he actually dared to send someone to openly kill my Daqin's guests at such an important time as Feng Chan, this is a smashing scene. ”

Luo Cheng carried his hands behind his back and paced slowly.

"This mud, this is playing with fire."

"The mud is indeed too bold and rampant."

"Xue Yantuo is at war with Hui Su, and he can't be entangled, but he still dares to provoke Daqin." Saying that, the emperor's face was no longer good-looking.

Xue Yantuo wanted to dominate Mobei, how could Daqin agree, so he secretly instigated Wei Su and others to form a Hui alliance to compete with Xue Yantuo.

Xue Yantuo was dissatisfied, Ni Yi first sent so many cattle and sheep to the Central Plains, but it was still not delivered as scheduled, and his Great Khan was not canonized.

"I think this is crazy."

"Summoning Roke to use!"

"Is the saint intending?"

Luo Ke is the Han name of Yi Nan, Yi Nan is still the Great Khan of Xue Yantuo canonized by Great Qin, and the emperor summoned him at this time, undoubtedly to do something big.

As the emperor's righteous son and the general of the forbidden army, Yi Nan also accompanied the eastern tour, and immediately arrived when he heard the edict.

"The name of the Ni Yu faction is Chaohe, but in fact, at the foot of Mount Tai, under my nose, he openly attacked and killed the Hui envoy, you should also know about this, right?"

"Erchen also just heard about it, and he was very shocked."

"The inside story of the matter is very clear, the mud is dizzy, I can't let him continue to lead Xue Yantuo, Keyong, I plan to let you go back to Mobei."

"Sage, Erchen is unwilling to return to Mobei to be Xue Yantuo Khan!"

"I now officially set up Mobei Province, grant you the Xuanfu Envoy of Mobei Province and the Governor of Mobei Province and the Taishou of Yudushan County, and Jin will make you the Duke of Yudushan County, I will send Wei Chi Jingde as your deputy commander, and select Zhang Gongjin, Feng Xiaoci, Xue Wanshu, and Duan Zhixuan as generals, and give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and you and Jingde will unify the army."

"After the year, the troops went out of the Great Wall, attacked Mobei, and captured the mud back to Luoyang."

"I will also send a decree to the Hui Khan Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, so that he can send troops to assist." This time the emperor was really angry, he didn't want to pay attention to Xue Yantuo for the time being, and only planned to support Hui and Xue Yantuo to fight in Mobei, Daqin just sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, who knew that this mud was also out of his mind, and he dared to play such a play under Mount Tai, in front of so many vassal kings and envoys, if Daqin didn't show anything, wouldn't it be a joke for others to see?

How can the prestige of this heavenly court be maintained, and how will it command the heroes in the future?
