After the Tang Dynasty wiped out Xue Yantuo and killed 3,000 people, the grassland tribes that were originally in shock finally moved after nearly ten days of silence.

At noon on the tenth day, when Zhao Chen was in his house, discussing the grassland trade with Hu Lu, Li Chengqian suddenly came in with a smile on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of excitement.

"Guess who the chief manager is meeting at this time?" Li Chengqian entered the room excitedly, sat down on the chair that Hu Lu had just given him, looked overjoyed, looked at Zhao Chen and asked.

"How do I know!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he suddenly glanced at Li Chengqian angrily, met Li Chengqian's gaze, and asked curiously: "Could it be someone from a certain tribe?" ”

"Hey, hey!" As soon as Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately grinned, nodded at Zhao Chen excitedly, and said, "It's the person sent by the tribe!" ”

"Who?" As soon as Zhao Chen heard Li Chengqian's words, the people who didn't care much about it immediately came to his senses, looked at Li Chengqian opposite, and asked with a little expectation.

"Murowe!" As soon as Li Chengqian saw Zhao Chen's expectant gaze, he didn't plan to sell it, looked at Zhao Chen, and immediately said: "It's an Ai Jin sent by the Murowei tribe, but I think it's more than that!" ”

Zhao Chen heard that Li Chengqian said that he was from Murowei, and he was a little looking forward to it just now, and he was slightly disappointed, he actually hoped that he would come from the Tiele tribe more than from Murowei.

Murwei was the later Mongolia, but unfortunately, the Mongols who spanned Asia and Europe in history are now just small tribes attached to large tribes everywhere in the steppe. The forces are directly negligible.

However, it is better than nothing! Regardless of the Murowe tribe. Is it a weak force, or do you want to come over and attach to Datang. But it's also a tribe of the steppe.

The most important thing is that as long as the first tribe can come, there will be a second, a third... Eventually, more tribes will come and cling to it.

"What did you just say?" Zhao Chen wanted to understand this, and suddenly remembered the meaning of Li Chengqian's words, looked at Li Chengqian and asked strangely.

"This time, the Ai Jin who came over from the room is accompanied by a young man!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked at Zhao Chen and smiled. In a strange tone, he said, "I found that Ejin seems to respect that young man very much!" ”

"So, you suspect it's the young man who really made the idea?" The meaning of Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Chen naturally understood it, if according to Li Chengqian's words, that young man was naturally an important person in the Murowei tribe.

"Ignore them!" When Zhao Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then. Looking at Li Chengqian, he said with an indifferent face: "It's just a small tribe, so it's a little self-defeating!" ”

As soon as Zhao Chen's words came out. Li Chengqian immediately nodded in agreement, obviously, as early as when he came here. Actually, it has already been decided. I'm not going to meet with the people of the Murowe tribe.

Anyway, he is also the crown prince of the empire, just a little room. It's not enough for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire to meet him in person!

The matter of negotiating with the Murowei tribe naturally has Li Jing's full authority to do it on his behalf, and there are two people behind him, Wuji and Du Ruhui, and the negotiation process will also be sent to Chang'an by telegram as soon as possible, and Li Er will control the rhythm at any time.

The Murwei people of this era are by no means the Mongols at the end of the Middle Ages, they are ambitious, spanning the two continents of Asia and Europe, and today's Murwei people are definitely little sheep on the grassland.

Whoever doesn't like it can come over and blackmail it, and offer it with both hands absolutely, without any hesitation at all, so this time the people of Muwei came over, and the conditions they wanted were extremely simple.

The grassland of the Eilechuan belongs to them!

The Eilechuan is at the foot of the Yin Mountain, which was originally the place of the Murwei people, and when Jieli controlled the grassland, the Murwei people were there in the Eilechuan.

However, at that time, although the Murwei people occupied the Eilechuan, to a large extent, they were the objects of Turkic exploitation, and they not only had to send a lot of cattle and sheep to Jieli every year.

Moreover, there will be a Turkic envoy in the tribe who will stay all year round, pointing fingers at the Murwei tribe, and even more powerful than the chieftain of the Murwei tribe!

Therefore, the first condition for the Murwei people to come over this time is to let the Tang Dynasty agree, and the Murwei people will continue to stay in the Elechuan, and the second condition is that there are no envoys from the Tang Dynasty in the tribe to interfere in their tribal daily life.

The first condition, Li Jing can make a decision on the spot, as for the second condition, it is a little difficult, so the first negotiation has to be terminated because of the second condition.

"Such conditions must not be agreed!" Subsequently, when the Murwei people left the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Jing called Zhao Chen and others to the big tent, and as soon as he talked about the negotiation, Zhao Chen immediately shook his head and said: "If you agree to the Murwei people, then you will lose your original intention!" ”

"The old man thinks so too!" Du Ruhui gently twisted his beard, sat opposite Zhao Chen, and said with a slight groan: "During this period of time, let's turn our faces directly with Xue Yantuo, isn't that just to actually control the tribal forces!" ”

"What about Your Majesty?" Du Ruhui's voice fell, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who was frowning and contemplative, suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Jing and asked, "What does Your Majesty think about this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty hasn't replied yet!" When Li Jing heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said.

"Lone thinks, my father will not agree to this matter!" Li Jing's voice fell, and Li Chengqian, who was on the side, suddenly raised his head, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "If you promise the Murowei people, then there will definitely be a tribe in the future, and in this way, what you have done these days will become meaningless!" ”

"And what does Your Highness mean?" Chi Gong, the old lieutenant who had been sitting there and had been silent, also raised his head at this time, looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"If it is according to the meaning of Lone..."Li Chengqian couldn't help but glance at Zhao Chen when he heard the words of the old lieutenant Chi Gong, and then, at everyone in the big tent, chuckled, and said categorically: "Let them go, it's just a room, and they are not qualified to negotiate conditions with Datang!" ”

In fact, the people of Murowei are the same as the people of Xue Yantuo, they all have a fluke mentality, thinking that at this time, Datang urgently needs a tribal response, so they came in a hurry.

promised Datang to implement the tribal household registration, but he was unwilling to let the Datang Interference Department land in daily life, in other words, no matter what their tribe did in the future, Datang would not interfere.

Just when Zhao Chen and others were discussing the place in the big tent, Li Er sent a telegram from Chang'an, and it had already arrived in Dingxiang, just like Li Chengqian's guess, Li Er really refused.

"Then reply according to His Highness's intentions!" Hearing Li Er's refusal, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly raised his head and looked at the few people in the tent, frowned and said in a deep voice.

The person who rejected the people of Murowei was naturally Li Jing, and it was not Li Jing himself, but a scrivener/bookkeeper beside Li Jing, with a very resolute attitude.

I thought that after such a resolute refusal, the people of Murwei would leave Dingxiang immediately, but who knows, after the refusal of the scribe/clerk, he just returned to the big tent and showed Li Jing, and when Li Jing was revealed, the people of Murwei rushed to the big tent and asked Jin to see Li Jing, the chief manager.

Hearing this news, Zhao Chen was a little surprised, but then remembered what Li Chengqian had said, and suddenly understood what the people of Muwei thought.

"I'm afraid that from the beginning, it was two ideas!" Standing in the room, Zhao Chen listened to Li Chengqian's words, was slightly silent for a moment, suddenly looked at Li Chengqian, and said in a strange tone.

At the beginning, the people of Murowei may have guessed that Datang would not agree to their request, but they still put it forward, and the purpose was naturally to hold the luck psychology of hitting the luck.

But now, when Li Er really refused, and his attitude of refusal was quite resolute, he came in a panic!

"Who said that they are simple?" Li Chengqian also reacted at once, paused slightly, and then looked at Zhao Chen with an embarrassed face and said.

After the failure of the previous negotiation, after this renegotiation, the process was quite smooth, and the people of Murwei still agreed to all the conditions of the Tang Dynasty, and moreover, it was directly decided by the young chief who was hiding behind him.

In fact, the conditions of Datang, really counted, are all beneficial to these tribes, except that to a large extent, they limit the development momentum of their tribes.

But on the other hand, it also ensures their living needs!

And the condition of Datang is that as soon as they really belong, there will be envoys from Datang to live in their tribe, and then, all the population, livestock, etc. of the tribe will be registered.

In the future, as long as a newborn is born or an elderly person dies, he must take the initiative to report to Datang.

Moreover, when the Governor's Mansion on the Tang Dynasty is established, the tribe must also send a hundred warriors to the Governor's Mansion, and after that, the first-class Datang will incorporate these people into the Governor's Mansion, and they will not be allowed to return to the tribe for less than five years.

These two conditions seem to be quite harsh, but next, it is the guarantee that Datang gives to the tribe!

In previous years, these tribes, once they encountered a snow disaster like this year, they basically starved to death and froze to death, but now, as long as they really belong, Datang will give them help and relief when they are affected.

Correspondingly, they also have to pay to Datang every year, and the prescribed taxes are the same as the people of the Central Plains!

The people of Murwei, after a day of thinking, finally agreed to Datang's conditions, so, with the promise of the Murwei people, Datang's control of the entire grassland began to take the first step!

And with the promise of the Murwei people, then, when the news came out, a second tribe came to the door, this tribe was none other than the Tiele Hun tribe that Zhao Chen expected! (To be continued.) )
