The two looked at Li Xiang and listened to him nod their heads continuously.

Li Xiang smiled: "Actually, you should think about it, why does your khan always want to attack our Great Sui, does he need our land?" Definitely not, it's not suitable for grazing, and it doesn't have a wide grassland like yours here. Then the question arises, so what is he for? ”

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he motioned for the two to think about it and tell him.

Of course, the two of them knew why, but in the face of an official of the Sui Dynasty, they told him in person that we were there to rob you of your things, so that we could live better. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't speak, so he can only blush and pretend to eat meat with his head down.

Fang Sanlang had already seen Li Xiang's ability to fool people, and it was not strange, but it was the first time Qin Qiong had seen it, and he said in his heart: "It turns out that Li Xiang still has such eloquence, and he also said that the two Turkic leaders are embarrassed, what a genius!" ”

Li Xiang saw that they didn't speak, and he knew what the reason was, so he smiled and said: "Actually, the answer is very simple, the Khan wants to make your life better, so he will go to our Dasui to grab some things, food and drink, and what to see." As he spoke, he saw that the two of them didn't even raise their heads, smiled contemptuously at the corners of their mouths, and continued:

"But have you ever thought about how many things you can have, even if you can successfully grab them once or twice? Is it enough for all of you to get it back? Are you really doing better than you used to be? I can't see it! Li Xiang shook his head and began to brainwash the two leaders.

When the two of them think about it, it seems that this is really the case. Every time I go to grab something, I must give half of it to those noble leaders, and then give the rest to the big tribes, and some of these important generals and leaders can be distributed to the hands of the tribal herdsmen, and most of the herdsmen must have nothing.

Li Xiang said again: "I can't get anything, but every time I go to war, I have to send the warriors of my clan to shed blood and fight hard, and if one is not careful, he can't come back, is this kind of deal really cost-effective?" ”

"It's not a good deal!" Tong Jin first said: "Our tribe used to be a big tribe, but it is because a large number of young people have gone to war that it has become what it is now, and the envoy is right!" ”

Gagu also nodded, admitting in his heart that what Li Xiang said was reasonable.

Li Xiang saw that someone responded, and said, "That's right! Even a child can do the math, so why do you Khans insist on doing it if it's not cost-effective? Or is it because you are too poor here and don't have much to offer your herders. In a good year, everyone is better, what if the year is bad, you can only go to loot. To put it bluntly, you are a people who depend on the sky for food. ”

The two nodded frequently, and had already begun to follow Li Xiang's train of thought.

Li Xiang smiled slightly: "Since everyone knows these truths, why don't you think about how to change all this?" ”

Li Xiang asked this, and both of them scratched their heads and began to doubt their IQ. Why do people say that the head is the Tao, and I can't figure it out. Gagu then said: "Then I have to consult the envoys, what is the way to make the herdsmen live a good life without plundering?" ”

Li Xiang stretched out his thumb and praised: "It seems that the people of Jiagutou have begun to think about the right way, yes, you are a smart person." ”

Gagu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Let's ask the envoy to tell us!" ”

Qin Qiong couldn't stand it anymore, if Li Xiang talked about it for a while, it was estimated that these two people would have to follow Li Xiang in the future, so they had to use the excuse of internal urgency and hurry out of the big tent.

Li Xiang ignored him and continued: "Actually, it's very simple, you see that the people of our Great Sui, although there have been wars in recent years, there are actually few people who have really starved to death. Then the question arises, why don't we worry about starving to death? ”

Li Xiang's way of explaining for a while and asking questions for a while made the two of them listen quite carefully, and they also interacted with Li Xiang from time to time.

Li Xiang looked at the blank eyes of the two and said: "We, the people of the Great Sui, understand a truth, which is called one point of hard work and one point of harvest, that is, as long as we work hard, we will have a good life." ”

He pointed to the mutton on the table and said, "You rely on the gift of the god of the steppe to have mutton to eat and tents to live in, but we rely on our own hands to create all this." ”

He shook the corners of his clothes and said: "Our clothes are all woven by raising silkworms and silk by ourselves, the grain we eat is all grown by ourselves, and the house we live in is also built by ourselves. These are all different things from you. ”

"Everything you have, except for God's gift, is to rob and rob, so you have not learned to do it yourself, then your life must depend on God's mood, and the strength of those you are going to rob. So your life is never secure. ”

Tong Jin and Jia Gu both opened their mouths as if listening to a book, and were stunned for a while before saying, "Yes, it seems that this is really the case." ”

"That's why I said that there is good news for you this time, in fact, your Khan has realized this, and he and our emperor have reached an agreement, so that you are willing to move to our tribe of the Sui Dynasty and bring your people to live in the Sui Dynasty."

"What?" Jiagu and Tong Jin were both surprised, this is not something that can be explained in a casual sentence.

"Don't be surprised, that's it. Just now, I saw that because of the life of the herdsmen, the two tribes are about to fight each other, and I can't bear it in my heart! Li Xiang said with a sad expression on his face.

"They are all their own people, how can they fight each other. It just so happens that I came here to tell Princess Yicheng the news, if you want to, you can follow me back to the Sui Dynasty, where we have prepared land for you, as long as your people are diligent, it will not take three or five years to live a stable and prosperous life, and you will no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat. ”

Li Xiang began to weave a bright future for them.

"Envoy, I'm not dreaming, are you? Did I hear me right? Tong Jin had already begun to wonder if he was dreaming just now.

"Of course not, I don't have to come all the way here to lie to you. Besides, think about it, when you arrive in the Sui Dynasty, you have your own land and house, and the children in the family can really study in the future, and when they grow up in the future, they can still be officials in the Sui Dynasty, what a good day this is, isn't it a thousand times better than you being exposed to the wind and sun here, fighting for such a piece of water and grassland? ”

The two of them were completely stunned by Li Xiang, and they both nodded and said, "We passed, can it really be so good?" ”

Li Xiangyi pointed to the soldier who had translated for them and said, "Look at him, do you know why he speaks Turkic fluently?" ”

The translator soldier himself was stunned for a moment, how could he talk about himself well, but when he saw Li Xiang's eyes, he quickly translated the two of them again.

Li Xiang continued: "His father is actually also from your Turkic tribe, and it was because he couldn't survive anymore that he took him to our Great Sui. ”

Tong Jin and Gagu looked at the soldier and waited for Li Xiang to continue.

"When they went, there was not a single house or ridge of land, but by their own hard work, they built a new house in two or three years, ate the grain they had grown, and you saw that he had grown up, and he had entered the academy, and now he had followed me to the Turks. You say if your herders are like their family, why should you worry? ”

The two looked at the translator with envy, but they didn't know that the translator's heart was dripping blood. Their ancestors have been authentic Han people for generations, and at this moment, Li Xiang changed his ancestors, if his ancestors knew about it, he would definitely be angry.

Fang Saburo finally became anxious, he knew that Li Xiang would not be in any danger here, on the contrary, it should be the two Hu people who were in danger, so he hurriedly went out to find Qin Qiong with a smile.

Li Xiangjian saw that the effect of what he said was already obvious, so he smiled again: "Actually, I have said too much at this time, exposing the bottom of our majesty, I really don't want to see your own people fighting each other, hey, since I have said it here, I will just tell you everything, and you will measure it yourself." ”

The two looked at Li Xiang, and Gagu hurriedly said: "If the envoy has anything else to say, please say it together, we will all listen." Tong Jin also nodded heavily, waiting for Li Xiang to continue.

Li Xiang deliberately took a sip of water, thought for a while, and said, "That's it, I'll tell you, but this is a secret, you have to promise not to tell others." ”

"I swear in the name of the god of the steppe that when I hear the words of the envoy, I will never reach the outside of the tent." He swore an oath quite quickly, which made Gagu a little angry, and hurriedly followed suit.

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Since you are so sincere, I will tell you." As he spoke, he leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Actually, this time His Majesty called me to tell Princess Yicheng that there are not many places to settle your tribe that have been preliminarily agreed with your Khan, so only ten tribes can go to Dasui to settle down, if you have this kind of thought, it is best to prepare first." ”

"Only ten?" Gagu asked anxiously, "Is a big tribe like us Tongluo counted as one?" Tong Jin also listened carefully.

Li Xiang said with some embarrassment: "The Tongluo tribe is too big, I don't know how to calculate it, I think it should be okay, but it must not be regarded as a tribe, at least three or four." ”

Gagu let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good." Envoy, I saw you first, and we have decided that we will take us with you when you return!" ”

After quitting his job, he turned his head and said, "Why did you see it first, obviously we were with the envoy first." ”

Li Xiang saw that the two of them were about to quarrel with their faces and thick necks, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel, in fact, the Kachin tribe can only be regarded as a small tribe, and it won't affect anything if you bring you." ”

Tong Jin smiled happily at this time: "Thank you, Lord Envoy, that adult?" When will we come back, we should also prepare and follow the adults to Dasui. ”

Li Xiang thought for a long time before saying: "I can't say for sure, I must see Princess Yicheng before I can go back, but I'm still worried that as soon as this news is announced, there will be many tribes going to Dasui, if there are a few big tribes, I'm afraid you can't compete." ”

Li Xiang frowned and looked worried, but the two of them were very moved. They discussed for a while, and Tong Jin said to Li Xiang: "After meeting the head of the Nogai tribe tomorrow, the envoy will also talk about this matter, if the head person also decides to go, then our Nogai tribe and the Tongluo tribe will go to Dasui together, but not wait for the adults to come back, the adults will send someone to take us first, even if there are other tribes who want to go, it will be too late, what do you think?" ”

Both of them looked at Li Xiang blankly, waiting for him to agree.

Li Xiang frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "This is not good, will it make other tribes say that I am biased?" ”

"No!" The two said in unison: "My lord, we will make you agree, tomorrow I will go back and gather all the small tribes under the Tongluo tribe, and as soon as the Nuogatou people agree, we will go to Dasui together." Gagu couldn't contain his excitement anymore.

Li Xiang had no choice but to nod in embarrassment and said, "Okay, okay, who told me to meet you first, hey, I'm too kind!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Tong Jin and Jiagu stood up and gave Li Xiang a deep salute
