According to the legends of the old people in the tribe, their history can be traced back to hundreds of years ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the fifth century B.C., the Hetao region was warm and humid, with excellent water conditions, and was not a purely nomadic economy, but a mixture of agriculture and pastoralism. In addition to herds of cattle and sheep, the Kongtong clan who settled here also had some castles and villages, and opened up some rough fields for slaves to cultivate.

But the whole tribe still despised the cultivators, believing that it was the work of lowly slaves, and that warriors should be straddled on horses and galloped around. For the tribes of the steppe, those who do not ride horses are not worthy of being human at all, and their status is the lowest, and they have no honor or self-esteem.

It wasn't until the farmers, who were also riding horses, came to the loop that they changed their minds.

The Zhao people first came to visit the Kongtong clan in the form of caravans, and traded with the Kongtong people with wine, medicinal herbs, porcelain, and silk produced in the original era. Although the warriors of the Kutong clan despised farming, they were very fond of these delicate and ornate items, and gladly accepted the caravan. Since then, every year the caravan of Zhao Kingdom will come to Hezong City in June and July, every time there is a mutual market, the Kongtong people are like a festival, and the small tribes from a hundred miles away will gather towards Hezong City, hoping to exchange their cattle, sheep, horses, and buttermilk and fur for those precious Central Plains creations.

There are also people who are impatient with the annual trade, and go to Longcheng and Mayi hundreds of miles away, and when they come back, they are full of praise for the strength and wealth of the Zhao State. They said that there was a small county, which was larger than Hezong City, with a larger population, mountains full of cattle and sheep, and heavily armed knights patrolling the roads all the time.

Under the ears and eyes, among the empty people, it is not impossible to be greedy and covetous for the wealth of Daijun, but the two sides are far apart, except for trade, and occasionally hear the news of Daijun, such as the rebellion of Lou Fu and the nuisance of Donghu, in addition, the well water does not interfere with the river water.

It wasn't until the tenth year of the start of the trade that the Zhao people came again, but this time it was not only the caravans, but also the warriors who rode tall and majestic horses, wore bright armor, and looked at everything. Hundreds of them, armed with sharp spears in one hand and bloody heads in the other, preached to the tribes along the way: "This is the Donghu and Lou people who rebelled against the Zhao State, their tribe has been destroyed by Zhao Jun, and the people have been slaughtered!" ”

In the face of such a powerful army, the Kongtongren, who boasted of their bravery in the past, retreated, they hid in the city of Hezong, poked their heads out and asked the "old friend" of Kongtongren, Yidu: "Kongtong has always been in peace with Zhao, why did Zhao Jun want to fight in Hezong?" ”

Yidun stood under the city, this time it was different from the previous trade, there was a powerful army standing behind him, just like Zhao Hou promised, every word he said, there was a great power to support him!

He lost his previous politeness and modesty, but raised his head and said undoubtedly: "I only have a few words, please listen carefully to the Kongtong clan." All those who dared to be enemies of Zhao Jun, Daiguo, Donghu, and Lou Fu had been destroyed or surrendered. The territory of Zhao is so huge, and after a hundred days of walking east, south, north and west, there is still no end to it. The army of Zhao was incomparably majestic, and everywhere it went, the earth shook. Today, the same clan still wants to make a choice, whether to be a friend of Zhao or an enemy of Zhao. If it is an enemy, he will shoot an arrow at me, and if he is a friend, he will follow me to Longcheng for a banquet and enjoy Zhao Hou's wine. ”

Kong Tongren looked at each other, their tribes were distributed within a radius of a hundred miles, and they could not be assembled in a short time, and the elite of the Zhao army in front of them, which numbered thousands of people, according to Yi Dun, was only one percent of the Zhao army.

In the end, the patriarch of the Kongtong clan made a choice, he let the clansmen continue to strictly guard the city of Hezong, and he himself went out of the city tremblingly, expressing his willingness to go to Dragon City with Yidun for a banquet.

He had already realized that the sky of the grassland had changed, and the powerful hand of the Zhao State had reached the Hetao, and the Kongtong clan could no longer dominate this fertile land as before.

The tribes on the grassland are afraid of the strong, and after thinking about it, the leader of the Kongtong clan decided to bring his daughter with him.

……

The Kongtong people are very grateful to Hebo for giving them such a fertile land, and they regard the Hetao as a sapphire on the grassland, but under the knees of the Kongtong clan leader, there is a treasure comparable to the Hetao: that is the patriarch's daughter, Kongtong Pearl.

Unlike tribal women who don't take a bath for most of the year, are dirty all day, and smell of old goats, this sixteen-year-old girl likes cleanliness very much, with white teeth and bright eyes. And she was extremely obsessed with the creations of the Central Plains, she would rather wear silk than sheepskin jackets, and loved flour sweets more than beef buttermilk.

When she heard that her father was going to take her to Dragon City and enter the country of the Central Plains for a banquet, Kongtong Mingzhu was crazy with happiness. Her father made her dress up more beautifully, so she put fragrant hair oil on her long black hair, wore delicate gold ornaments on her wrists and ankles, and wore silk from the Zhao trade, the fabric was as soft as water, and there were all kinds of jade as decorations.

Because of this dazzling costume, she couldn't even ride a horse, so she could only sit on a high cart and slowly drive east.

Along the way, Kongtongren found that they were not the only ones who were "invited" by Zhao Hou, and the Baiyang and Linhu tribes, which were separated from the Kongtong clan by a river, were known as the "people in the forest", and the buildings not far from Daijun were annoying, and even the tribes that had made a living from nomadism in Yinshan Mountain and the northern foot of Daqing Mountain were uninvited.

The more tribes went east, the more they were shocked by the Zhao State's elimination of Donghu this time, and Zhao could not be an enemy of it, in this case, according to the rules of the grassland, they could only show their submission to those Zhao people who cultivated the fields for a living.

Along the way, Kongtong Mingzhu's eyes never stopped, and whenever she met other tribes, she would observe the appearance and behavior of those young people when her father and his leader were talking, but every time the other party also flirted with her, Mingzhu looked away in disappointment and disdained it.

The customs on the grassland are open, and every time the assembly of the various ministries meets, it is also the best time for young people to find a partner.

As the most beautiful girl in the entire clan, the people who pursued her could circle around Hezong City, but her vision was very high, and no young people in the tribe could see her.

However, what girl doesn't have a spring? The image of the husband in the dream of the pearl is like this:

He was tall and handsome, with long hair hanging low, interlocking with metal silver rings, and long black hair, black and shiny, tied into countless braids, with silver bells hanging in between. rode a white horse and came to Hezong City to welcome her marriage.

He should not be as vulgar as an ordinary tribal man, who would only mate like a stallion and a mare, but should be able to play a mustache to the accompaniment of her dance, and carry her out into the field on a full moon, lying on the soft grassy flats, and whispering.

However, she didn't know that in history, she would marry a Central Plains monarch named "Zhao Xiangzi", live in the palace of Chengguo for the rest of her life, and give birth to five sons for him......

On the first day of July, the Sky Department hurried and finally arrived at the grassland on the outskirts of Dragon City, it was a good day, a falcon was high above, hovering in the deep blue sky. The sea of grass rippled, with a gentle sigh of the breeze, sending a trace of warmth to the face of the sky and Mingzhu, and she was also full of anticipation for what she would witness next.

However, she didn't know that this time her father's plan was to give his daughter as a gift to Zhao Hou Wuxian to win his favor and friendship......

PS: There is one more chapter in the evening
