When Han Sui was authorized, he immediately invited the envoys to a banquet and asked the chiefs and marshals to accompany him.

After three rounds of drinking, Han Sui said, "I don't know how Duke Wei wants to settle us?" ”

The envoy said: "Haha, Han Fujun, this is not someone who can call the shots, but he is just here to consult, if it is a negotiation, he needs to send a representative to Yecheng in person." ”

A chief asked dissatisfiedly, "Do you want to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain?" ”

"Haha, the outcome has been decided, there is no need to use stratagem against you, do such things that can't wait for the table, how can Duke Wei fall into his own identity? We will not take action until the envoys you have sent have returned, regardless of the outcome of the negotiations. The messenger was very dissatisfied.

Since this is the case, Han Sui decided to go to Yecheng in person, and chose the chief of Dangqiang to go with several marshals; They also want to see how rich the territory under Gaoshun's jurisdiction is, how strong it is, and strive to see is believing.

Burning Dangqiang is the strongest tribe among the Qiang people, as long as Burning Dangqiang accepts surrender, other tribes will follow, in this way, it saves a lot of trouble.

From Jincheng County to Dingxi County, through Hanyang County to Chang'an City, this is the most familiar section of the road for Han Sui and others, the changes along the way are too great, the wide stone post road, the tall city, the rich and peaceful township, they were shocked; In previous years, they had often led their armies to these places, and there was a world of difference from that time.

Entering Chang'an City, it is even more prosperous, and compared with their Xiping County, the gap is too big; They had also come to Chang'an before, but there were not so many people, not so many shops, and not so many high-quality and low-cost products.

They thought that if they surrendered to the Gaoshun forces, they would definitely make a better life for the Qiang people through trade.

It seems that the envoy's words are true, under such conditions, there are no Han people willing to be slaves, if Gao Shun opens his mouth, as long as he catches the Qiang people, he can be slaves, then there will be many people willing to take risks.

They learned that not long ago, the Huns sold, even if they were not too strong men, could be sold for 50,000 yuan, and a slightly better girl could be sold for 100,000 yuan.

They couldn't help but sigh that Gao Shun's method was hitting their vital point and would bring devastating disasters to the Qiang people, and it seemed that they would not be able to surrender, and they only hoped that this trip would strive for more benefits.

Zhou Fei set up a banquet to entertain them, and the dishes served were good in color and flavor, which made them have endless aftertaste.

I feel that this is what successful people should enjoy, so what's the point of them guarding that poor mountain and bad water?

When they arrived at Yecheng, they were even more shocked, Yecheng was taller and more majestic than Luoyang City.

According to the envoy, Yecheng is divided into three parts: inside and outside.

The inner city is Gao Shun's mansion.

In the middle city, there are the Wei County Taishou Mansion, the County Mansion, the General's Mansion, the Yamen of the Hundred Officials set up by the Wei Mansion, and the residences of senior officials.

The outer city has commerce, people's residences, military camps, warehouses, workshops, academies, etc.

The north and south of the outer city, the east and west are more than ten miles long, respectively set up three gates, all are boulders to the top, as high as seven zhang and five feet, very majestic, firm, magnificent.

There is a moat outside the city that is more than ten zhang wide, and the tributaries of the Zhanghe River go around the city and become the first barrier.

Han Sui sighed that with such a strong city, as long as there is no shortage of food in the city, it will be difficult for the enemy to conquer it at a great cost.

Those Qiang people even sighed, they thought that Jincheng, Jixian and Chang'an City were already big cities and strong cities, compared with Yecheng, just like the gap between their Xiping County and Chang'an City.

First of all, the judge was in charge of reception, and he was most familiar with foreign affairs.

The judge served as the middle of the imperial history, with a high position and authority, and came forward to receive them, which is the importance of them; His main task was to first touch the bottom limit of Han Sui and others. So, after the etiquette, the judge asked bluntly: "I don't know what requirements you want to achieve?" ”

Han Sui is an old fox, so naturally he will not easily reveal his bottom line.

During this time, Gao Shun did a special survey, those who married Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu and Qiang women as wives, the children born are generally stronger than children of the same age, but the difference in IQ is obvious, some are smart, some are honest, and on average, there is still a great advantage, which may be the hybrid advantage of later generations.

For this reason, Gao Shun thought about it for a while and decided not to exterminate the Qiang people, and it would not be possible to eradicate them anyway, so it was better to let them continue to exist, as long as they were reasonably controlled, they would be able to provide a certain number of women to be the wives of the Han people every year and contribute to national integration.

As for the management of them, Gao Shun decided to adopt the Manchu management method for the Mongols, dividing them into territories, allowing them to live and graze in fixed pastures, and not to cross the border casually; As long as the scope of their activities is limited, their harm is minimized; They could pay no taxes, they could administer themselves, and they were given absolute power over their chiefs, who could be hereditary, but provided with a certain amount of qualified soldiers each year, and allowed to marry the Han Chinese, and allowed the government to teach Confucianism among its people.

Gao Shun believed that if there was a choice, the Qiang women would definitely choose to marry the Han people, after all, the living environment of the Han people was much more comfortable than their pastoral areas, especially those Qiang officers and soldiers who came to the mainland, after learning about the life of the Han people, they would be envious, and they must also be eager to marry their daughters to the Han people.

However, Gao Shun will not give up slave hunting and military strikes against those Qiang people who have not surrendered, and it will not only apply to the Qiang people, but also to Xianbei and Fuyu people in the future.

The trial did not bring back valuable information, which was already expected by Gao Shun, and Han Sui was not so easy to deal with.

Han Sui did not divulge his target, and he did not learn valuable information from the mouth of the interrogator.

In the room of the mansion, Han Sui also consulted closely with the chief of the burning Dangqiang and others.

Han Sui asked, "What are your plans and what goals do you want to achieve?" ”

The chief of Burning Dangqiang retorted: "I don't know what Wenyue suggests? ”

Han Sui knew that they couldn't say anything valuable, so he said: "Our first and most critical one, you must stick to it. ”

The chief of Dangqiang said, "Please speak!" ”

Han Sui said: "In the area of activity of the Qiang people, they can accept the supervision of the Han officials, but they cannot accept the management of the Han officials, and the Qiang people must manage themselves themselves. "The Qiang had been forced to rebel several times before, all by Han officials, so Han Sui wanted to avoid this problem.

Everyone felt that Han Sui's opinion was very important, and he really thought about them, if this was the case, he would be able to retain their absolute power in the tribe, and it seemed that Han Sui was still of the same mind as them; The chief who burned Qian Qiang said: "Everything is based on the opinions of Wenyue, and we will do what you say is good." ”

Han Sui said: "If you have any opinions, you must put them forward, don't be dissatisfied afterwards, if there is any rebellion, it is estimated that Duke Wei will never show mercy to his subordinates." ”

So, everyone started to talk about it.

It was proposed that trade should not be stopped, and that the Han people should not bully or harm the Qiang people.

It was proposed that, following the example of the Xiongnu at the beginning, the Han court would provide them with an annual salary to ensure that they would live without worry.

Some people even took the initiative to set up academies in their districts to teach their subordinates to read and write, so as to strengthen ties with the Han people.
