The Eastern Turkic Khan drove towards the border between the Eastern Turks and Li Tang with Princess Ashina Yunge and the carriages of Hou Junji, Xie Yingdeng, and Chu Suiliang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Mr. Chu, this time the marriage between our Turks and Li Tang can be successful, and you three matchmakers are very successful! Especially Mr. Chu, Ben Khan heard that when you were free, you traveled everywhere looking for the displaced people in the Central Plains who were displaced on the grassland, but I don't know how many tribes you visited and how many people you visited. Chu Suiliang smiled and said:

"Ahh Thanks to the Great Khan's concern, hey! I'm not afraid of the big Khan's jokes, I visited a lot of tribes in the next, but unfortunately, there are too many tribes on the grassland, and they are too scattered, if it is not too short, I must get the Han people scattered in the major tribes back to the Central Plains. ”

"Hey! Mr. Chu don't blame himself, this grassland is big, plus those Han people have lived in our prairie for several years, most of them have taken root, even if they find it, I'm afraid most of them will marry wives and have children, even if Mr. finds it, what can he do? When the time comes, it will not be separated from flesh and blood. "When the steppe people took those Han Chinese back to the tribe, the women multiplied, and the men were young and strong, as slaves, and of course, if the young man was useful, for example, if he was a good craftsman, or a good hunter, or a good veterinarian, then the chief of the tribe or the head of the clan would give him the women of the tribe and let him bear children. To reproduce, of course, the surname is the same as the woman's surname.

"But I seem to have heard that Mr. Chu has done some population business in the Monan Zhubu?" Accompanied by Zhixin Bike or surveillance, Chu Suiliang's every move on the grassland did not escape the eyes of the Lingli Khan, and with the help of this matter, the Lingli Khan also learned a lot of the reactions of the Monan tribes to Chu Suiliang, the strength of the Xi, Xia and other tribes is small, especially the big leader of the Xi tribe, Xi Tu Miller, and the leader of the Xi tribe, Xi Nuomin. Chu Suiliang's request was responsive, so that Chu Suiliang quickly found a lot of Han refugees living in Xi, Xi and other tribes. Of course, Chu Suiliang did not treat Xi Tumile, the big leader of the Xi tribe, and Xi Nuomin, the leader of the Xi tribe, and Xi Nuomin, the leader of the Xi tribe. And the most arrogant is the leader of the Xue Yantuo tribe, Yi Nan, who directly rejected Chu Suiliang's proposal, and also drove Chu Suiliang out of the tent, and the other Tiele tribes saw that the Xue Yantuo tribe was so disrespectful to Chu Suiliang, so they also had a cold attitude towards Chu Suiliang, and the most strange were the Khitan and the Yan. In the name of never going to the Central Plains to rob, these two rejected Chu Suiliang's entry into the tribe for investigation, but the tribal leaders of Khitan and Yan Ya talked about another business with Chu Suiliang:

"Mr. Chu, although we Khitan don't have much communication with the Central Plains, we like porcelain, cloth, silk, tea, rhubarb and other things in the Central Plains! Therefore, this leader hopes to be able to communicate with you in the Central Plains......"

"Oh! All right! I just don't know what good things the two big chiefs can exchange with us? ”

"People! There are people in our tribe, although they are not as valuable as you Han people, but they are not shabby, they are all very strong. ”

"Hmmm! This one? "The big leader of the Khitan tribe thought that Chu Suiliang didn't know what the 'goods' were, and immediately ordered:

"Someone! Show our goods to Mr. Chu! With the order of the Khitan chief, the Khitan guards in front of the tent immediately brought several people in, and Chu Suiliang saw that those people were wearing hair and hair, but they were all strong.

"Great Chief, these people are ......"

"Hahaha! These people are all slaves of the original Zongwei Department, how about it, they are all very strong slaves, but I don't know if they can enter the eyes of Mr. ”

"Great Chief, who are these people?"

"Haha! Adults should know that our Khitan and Zongwei tribes have just fought a big war, and these people are all Zongwei prisoners of war and our slaves! Under the explanation of the great chief of the Khitan tribe, Chu Suiliang knew what was going on - the Khitan Khitan was a descendant of the Xianbei Yuwen Department in the eastern part of the Donghu system, and came from the "remnant" of the Xiongnu, and the Yuwen Department was even more so. Originally lived in Huangshui, later, Xianbei Tuoba Department into the Central Plains, and a part of the Xianbei people stayed in the grassland, and then, these Xianbei people because of some trivial matters and contradictions, finally, and split, the Laoha River Basin around the Xianbei tribe called itself "Khitan", another tribe lived in the west of the Xing'an Mountains Xianbei is called "Murowei", the two tribes were originally the same origin, but the long-term struggle made the hatred of the two tribes more and more big. Knowing that in recent years, the Khitan and the eastern Turks have completely defeated Zongwei, and captured a lot of Zongwei men and women, in the past, these men and women's slaves are a huge wealth, but, in recent years, natural disasters on the grassland, the Khitan themselves can't eat, let alone raise these slaves, female slaves can also give birth to children for the tribe, reproduce, and male slaves have now become a package, originally, the Khitan tribe chief wondered if this was to kill these slaves, but, The proposal of the big chief of the Khitan tribe has just been proposed, but it has aroused the opposition of the major elders of the Khitan tribe, because these prisoners of war can be said to be their private property, and there are many hunting experts, veterinarians and other people, plus, if you cut and kill, once those slaves resist, they will have casualties to their own people, and the gains will outweigh the losses, just when the big chiefs of the Khitan tribe and the major elders have a headache, the young girls and young women of the Khitan in the Spring Yin Festival brought the news of Chu Suiliang:

It just made the Khitan chief brainstorm:

"Why, you said that an envoy from the Central Plains came to our grassland to buy people, and I heard that the price is quite a lot? It can be exchanged for cloth, grain, tea, rhubarb and other things. ”

"Yes! It's better to sell these Zongwei slaves as goods, or to exchange for some supplies, this time the Turks attacked Guanzhong, but they didn't give anything to our tribe, if we don't solve it ourselves, then the whole clan will starve to death. ”

"Good! It's up to you! In this way, after Chu Suiliang arrived at the boundary of the Khitan and the Ya, after meeting the great chieftains of the Khitan and the Ya, the big chiefs of the Khitan and the Ya Tatars directly rejected Chu Suiliang's request, and when Chu Suiliang wanted to say goodbye, the Khitan chief came from afar with Chu Suiliang and set up a banquet to entertain him, and the big chief of the Ya Tatar also heard some rumors here to listen to the news. Looking at those strong slaves, Chu Sui's conscience was a little hesitant - His Majesty asked me to come to bring the Han people who were exiled to other countries back to the Central Plains, and now, I have only recovered less than 10,000 people, if I bring these barbarians back, will the emperor think that I am wasting the treasury money? No, the emperor loves the people like a son, and there was Xia Shang in the Central Plains at the beginning, and the Western Zhou Dynasty guarded Guanzhong; The land is all Chinese, and there is a famous sentence of Rong Difen circulating. All right! I'll just bite the bullet and go back. After consulting with the Khitan chieftain, Chu Suiliang negotiated the price of a piece of cloth and a stone of rice for a slave, and as soon as the chief of the Yan Ya heard that this population could still be bought and sold, he immediately pulled Chu Suiliang to talk about human trafficking, but the big chief of the Yan Ya wanted to talk to Chu Suiliang about the female slave, because the Yan Ya lived between the black waters of the White Mountain (or Buxian Mountain, Tutai Mountain, Dabai Mountain, and Changbai Mountain), and took fishing and hunting as their business. The women there in Silla are petite and gentle by nature, and they are deeply loved by the nobles of the major tribes of the steppe, so they often secretly disguise themselves as horse bandits to kidnap the women of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, and tie them up to the camps of various departments of the steppe to sell, but due to the continuous natural disasters this year, the efforts of the Yan Ya trade have also been greatly affected. As a result, Chu Suiliang rejected the proposal of the Great Chief of the Yan Dynasty on the grounds that he had not received the holy decree of Li Jiancheng. After listening to Chu Suiliang's narration, Lili Khan smiled slightly:

"Hahaha! Unexpectedly, the temporary agreement between Ben Khan and Mr. actually freed the Khitan and Ya tribes from their predicament. "When the team of Lili Khan, Hou Junji, Chu Suiliang, Xie Yingdeng, and Princess Ashina Yunge came to the border between the Turks and Li Tang. Chu Suiliang shouted:

"Look, it's Your Majesty's Yellow Dragon Banner and Yellow Dragon Umbrella! It was His Majesty who came to pick up the kiss in person. "Lili Khan followed Chu Suiliang's words and looked at the border pass, it was indeed the honor guard of Emperor Li Tang, and he saw Li Jiancheng wearing gold armor, like a god under the sun.

"Ahh See Your Majesty! ”

"Ahh Three Aiqing, please get up quickly! Your Majesty Ashina Khan, we meet again. ”

"Ahh Your Majesty, you are here. I didn't expect you to be so polite, and you actually ran here to greet your relatives. ”

"Your Majesty Ashina Dapi Khan, our Li Tang is a state of etiquette, and our wife and clan send thousands of miles, so the husband's family will accept the etiquette of a hundred miles, and His Majesty Ashina Pi will personally send my concubine here, and we, as husbands, will naturally get this kiss."

"Hahaha! Your Majesty, Ben Khan has now brought more than 6,000 Han men and women from his headquarters, but I don't know how the bride price prepared by His Majesty is? ”

"Rest assured, Khan has prepared 150,000 horses of cloth, 200,000 stones of tea, 300,000 stones of grain, and 100,000 catties of salt as a dowry for marrying Princess Ashina Yunge. Oh! The carriage loaded with these things is just behind, please Khan order it! After looking at the hundreds of carriages behind Li Jiancheng, and checking the salt, cloth, tea, grain and other items on them, and confirming that they were correct, Lili Khan took Princess Ashina Yunge from the carriage:

"Yunge, come! This is your future husband! Ashina Yunge also has some expectations for the Khan:

"Brother, I'm Ashina Yunge and ask you again, can you take me away now!" The Khan did not answer, but said directly to the guards beside him:

"Someone! Pull these things back to the steppe for Ben Khan and go! Princess Ashina Yunge looked at Lili Khan and the departing team, her eyes filled with tears.
