Although Ludia's words were a bit hurtful, many Tibetan people thought about it, and now that the empire was already the most powerful country in the world, they had to admit that it made sense.

"What does the Empire want us to do when we surrender?" The old patriarch asked on behalf of the other Tibetans.

"First of all, the Empire doesn't want you to have the force after you surrender, but you can join the Imperial army if you wish.

Second, because you don't know how to farm, your tribe will still live in Qingtang. Whether you are raising horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock, there will be merchants who will buy them, and you can rely on breeding to survive. ”

Many Tibetan people listened attentively, but when they saw that Ludia stopped after saying two direct requests, they couldn't help but ask in surprise: "No?" ”

"No, the Empire only has these two requirements for you."

Ludia's voice turned cold and said, "But if you want to live freely in the homeland of Qingtang, there is one person who must be eliminated. ”

For the two requirements put forward by Ludia, the Tubo people are still acceptable, after all, they also know that the empire will not allow the tribes to continue to have force, and everyone knows the person the other party is talking about.

Qingtang's current nominal leader, Yima Dangzheng, is not only an enemy of the empire at this moment, but also an enemy of these Tibetan tribes who intend to surrender.

The conversation between the two sides ended in a friendly one, and Ludia, who had been prepared, quickly sent a convoy of grain to them to bring a large number of food, vegetables, fruits, and other supplies that the Tibetans needed most.

After that, things went very smoothly, and the Tibetan tribes, which had enough food, easily lured several tribes close to the Yima Party with these materials that everyone needed.

When the Yima Gang finally found out that things were not going well, there were very few people who were still loyal to him, because the blame for all the Qingtang people starving their clansmen to death was still on his head.

Half a month later, Qingtang, a force composed of Qiang and Tubo, finally disappeared completely, the territory of the empire expanded westward again, and two gifts were sent to Lintao Mansion.

The first gift, which was nothing to look at, was the head of the Yima Clan, the unlucky leader who was said to have been hacked to death by a number of patriarchs.

This second gift surprised Li Nan very much, it was actually a woman, and it was a very beautiful interracial woman.

To be honest, Li Nan, who is used to seeing beauties, doesn't like Tibetan women very much.

It's not that he has any discriminatory psychology, but that most of the Tibetan women in this era have been exposed to the wind and sun, so most of them have rough skin, red cheeks, and tall figures, which does not conform to the aesthetics of Chinese people.

And to Li Nan's surprise, these foreign beauties sent by the Tubo people, she is not a Tubo, with a high nose, big blue eyes, light complexion, and blonde hair, this looks like a race from Indo-Europe.

Looking at the little beauty who was less than twenty years old standing in front of him, Li Nan asked in a harmonious voice, "Do you understand what I said?" ”

"Listen... You know. The girl looked up and replied in non-standard Chinese.

"It seems that you are not a Tibetan or a Qiang, where did you come from? How did it get to me? ”

This strange alien beauty looked at Li Nan with a pair of big eyes, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally said her identity: "I am the princess of Qiuzi Kingdom, my name is Bai Yue!" ”

"Turtle Country!" Hearing the other party's answer, Li Nan began to search for information about the country in his mind.

Qiuci should be regarded as an ancient country in the Western Regions, one of the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that it is also the place where the famous iron production in the Western Regions is located.

This small country in the Western Regions was originally inhabited by Indo-European people, and after the arrival of the Uighurs, the race and language gradually became Uighur.

The country is located near the Taklamakan Desert, surrounded by many small countries, which is not a country in the eyes of the Chinese people, but can only be regarded as a foreign race, and the Chinese people may be more familiar with the music and dance from Qiuzi.

The main enemies of the empire are the Jin Kingdom in the north, the Western Xia Kingdom and several small states in the south, and they have not yet made plans to develop to the Western Regions, so they don't know too much about that side.

Anyway, this Bai Yue from Qiuzi is also the identity of a princess, seeing that she is weak and dirty, Li Nan hurriedly ordered someone to take her to wash up, and then come to ask questions after a full meal.

Bai Yue, who had a very bad time with the Tubo people, devoured a lot of imperial delicacies, washed himself in the clear pool, and put on a splendid long skirt from the empire, and then returned to Li Nan.

Bai Yue, who was originally a little arrogant, changed his attitude a lot after learning that the man in front of him was the emperor of the Central Plains Empire, because although Qiuzi was far away in the Western Regions, those small countries had also heard of the prestige of the Chinese Empire.

Tasting the top fragrant tea in China, Bai Yue also recounted his experience of being in trouble.

Because of the severe drought in the northwest region for a year, there was a serious shortage of food in Western Xia and Qingtang, so both groups began to send troops to the surrounding areas to plunder.

The Chinese Empire, which borders the two forces, naturally no one dares to move, and the Western Xia did not have the courage to attack the Jin State, so they invariably aimed at the countries of the Western Regions that were still relatively rich.

In fact, the current countries in the Western Regions are also in chaos, because a hungry wolf broke into this area of many small countries, that is, the Khitans who fled after defeat.

After the Jin State occupied most of the territory of the Liao State, the last emperor of the Liao State, Tianzuo Emperor, was captured, and the general in the army, Yelu Dashi, led the army to flee, set out from Jiashan, and crossed the Heishui for three days in the north, and met the white Tatar leader Bed Guer on the way, and Bed Guer gave Yelu Dashi 400 horses, 20 camels, and a number of sheep to help.

Yelu Dashi traveled all the way to the northwest and arrived at the important town in the northern Xinjiang that had not yet been attacked by the Jin soldiers in the Liao State, and the northwest road was the headquarters of the Recruiting Division, Kedun City.

Here, Yelu Dashi summoned the governors of the seven military prefectures of Weiwu, Chongde, Huifan, Xin, Dalin, Zihe, and Huo, and the leaders of the eighteen tribes of Dahuangmurwei, Dira, Wangjira, Chachira, Yexi, Nose Gude, Nira, Dara, Damili, Mierji, Hezhu, Wuguli, Zubu, Pusuwan, Tanggu, Kumusi, Xidi, and Jiaoerbi.

At this time, the Liao State was basically destroyed, the royal family was slaughtered by the Jin people, Yelu Dashi, the eighth grandson of the founding emperor of the Liao State, Yelu Abaoji, was also elected as the emperor of the Liao State, because this place is westerly, so it is called the West Liao in history.

Although the Khitans of the Liao State could not defeat the rising Jin people, after coming to the Western Regions, their combat effectiveness was really one of the best.

After Yelu Dashi became emperor, although he did not dare to fight against the Jin, he began to expand in other directions on a large scale.

Within a few years, the Uighur kingdoms of Gaochang in the Western Regions, the Eastern Qarakhanid Dynasty, the Western Qarakhanid Dynasty, and the Khorezm Kingdom, the dependent Qiuzi Kingdom, and the Kangli tribe were all attacked by the Western Liao.
