Chapter 193: The Sa people enter Qishan City
With the departure of nearly 400 people in Shanjun City, there were only five or six thousand people in the city for a while, including nearly 2,000 Han garrisons, since the ancient country of Loulan moved to the country, the houses on the edge of the city have been deserted due to the long-term uninhabited, and even almost covered by the yellow sand, and now there are many uninhabited houses, with the passage of time, they will definitely be deserted.
The team of nearly 400 people of the Sa nationality, under the guidance of the Han scouts, after a day of walking, because they did not bear weight, it was not too far from the edge of Qishan, and the Han scouts naturally wanted to leave the Sa team, so as to ensure that the Sa people could enter the Qishan City without accidents.
Murong Zike, the leader of the Sa tribe, led the tribesmen to Qishan, and he had been praying in his heart, praying that the tribesmen could enter Qishan City smoothly and be accepted by the people of the ancient country of Loulan.
Time is flying, everyone has been walking, Qishan Pass is not far away, Murong Zike is praying and thinking about how to win the sympathy and recognition of Empress Lan Qi'er of Loulan.
At this time, the marching procession of the Sa tribe also entered the field of vision of the soldiers on the Qishan city wall and the lookout platform on the top of the mountain, and the three lookout sentries began to pay close attention to the movement of this team, because they did not see the possibility of soldiers, so they did not blow the horn.
There is a trade zone outside the Qishan Pass, and there is a military station outside the trade zone, and the soldiers at the military station have been informed by the soldiers on the lookout early and know that a team of several hundred people will arrive here in a few moments, so they have already made preparations and are ready to check the situation of the incoming team.
When the Sa team really came into contact with the generals and soldiers of the station, the soldiers and generals realized that the alien team of nearly 400 people was wrong and did not come to trade, because this team was all personnel, and the materials were just a few horses and donkeys, and there was nothing else!
The leader of the Sa tribe naturally walked at the forefront of the team, knowing what he should do and what to say, that is, he must see Empress Loulan, and only when he sees Empress Loulan Lan Qi'er can he have the next step of pleading and solve the problem of the clansmen staying in Qishan City.
Murong Zike, the leader of the Sa tribe, first greeted the general of the military station and said: Hello general, I am the leader of the Gobi nomadic tribe Murong Zike, and my tribe has relied on Loulan City before the ancient country of Loulan moved to the country, but because of the difference of the thought of the clan at that time, I did not move the country with the ancient country of Loulan, and chose to stay in the original Loulan City, which is now the city of Shanjun.
In today's Shanjun City, due to the arbitrariness of the Han Dynasty and the concubines, the clansmen were oppressed by the Han army and the rulers from time to time, and the clansmen were no longer able to gain a foothold in survival.
The general of the military station passed the speech of the leader of the Sa tribe and knew some information, it turned out that the team that came was not a trade, and it was to ask to stay in Qishan City!
This matter was something he couldn't deal with, and he knew that he couldn't give an answer, so he immediately ordered the herald to return to Qishan City and report it to the authorities one by one.
Foreign Minister Shi heard the report of the herald, and also knew the complexity of the matter, he could not handle it, and he had no right to deal with it, so he had to immediately rush to the imperial study and ask for the Empress Lan Qi'er.
Empress Lan Qi'er heard the report of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Shi in the imperial study, to be honest, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Shi could no longer repeat what the leader of the Sa tribe said, but only said that at the military station outside the gate of the pass, there were more than 400 Gobi nomadic tribes, begging my ancient country of Loulan to accept it, and begging to face my Empress Loulan.
Of course, Empress Lan Qi'er didn't know the specific situation, and now she only knew that there were a large number of nomadic tribesmen outside the city, and she wanted to enter Qishan City and see herself, so she immediately ordered the eunuch Xue to pass on the commander of the Praetorian Guard to Tulong.
After a while, Tu Long, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was waiting outside the imperial study, and Lan Qi'er, accompanied by Eunuch Xue and Minister of Foreign Affairs Shi Janissaline Tu Long, went straight to the Qishan Pass.
As the group passed through the pass gate and walked through the moat, the front and back of the military station outside the trade area had been closed by the Qishan city guards.
Lan Qi'er and Eunuch Xue are naturally protected by the Praetorian Guards, and the leader of the Sa tribe was invited to Lan Qi'er's face, and Lan Qi'er personally inquired, only in this way can she make a decisive and prudent decision.
The leader of the Sa tribe knew that the entire tribe could take this opportunity, whether the clansmen could stay in Qishan City, and whether the clansmen could live in Qishan for a long time, it depended on this conversation, and he had an idea in his heart, that is, to explain the facts and win the benevolence and trust of the empress Lan Qier.
The people of the Sa tribe also have good clan rules and laws, and they inform morality and ethics, and after thinking about this, they became bold and walked in front of the empress Lan Qi'er!
Lan Qi'er and the others saw that the leader of the Sa tribe had arrived in front of them, and Eunuch Xue stretched out his hand and said: The noble leader in front has something to say.
The leader of the Sa tribe recognized the empress Lan Qi'er, because before the ancient kingdom of Loulan moved to the country, Lan Qi'er had gone out of the city to speak to the alien races outside the city, and the leader of the Sa tribe, Murong Zike, immediately knelt down and said: Long live the empress, long live, long live.
After the leader of the Sa tribe bowed to the Empress Lan Qi'er, he received Lan Qi'er's questioning, and began to plead: "Your Majesty, Honorable Empress, although your people have not yet received the permission of the Empress to live in Qishan City, and they are not your subjects, but your people are willing to kneel down to you as your subjects, and plead, hoping that Her Majesty the Empress will listen, recognize, and accept my people with benevolence.
Chen Nai is the leader of the Gobi nomadic tribe, Murong Zike, before the ancient kingdom of Loulan moved to the country, his own tribe had been attached to the city of Loulan, and sought a temporary place for the people to settle down.
With the empress led the people of Loulan to move to the country, I was short-sighted, and the tribe did not choose to move into Qishan City with your country, and lost the best chance of survival and life of the race, which led to the current situation of the Sa nationality today, that is, the people of the Sa nationality live very hard in the city of Shanjun, without the dignity of the clan, and are oppressed by the Han army and its regime from time to time. I actually came up with the idea of using the power of my race to infiltrate Qishan City, and used some of the people left by my clan in Shanjun City as a threat, so as to control my people and make them get the city defense map and internal response of Qishan City.
Of course, this is the idea and plan of the princess in Shanjun City, my Sa tribe has no room for resistance due to the weakness of the clan, and I can only be at its mercy for a while, but my Sa people can be at the mercy of Shanjun City, and let it be at the mercy of some of the clansmen in Liushan County, but my Sa people have clan rules, clan laws, and moral bottom lines.
Although there are right and wrong choices for some things within a certain period of time, the people of the Sa tribe have ideas and decisions in the city of Shanjun, that is, the people of the Sa people will never be controlled by the princess and will never be threatened by it, and the people who stay in the city of Shanjun are the pride of the clansmen, and they all take the initiative to stay, with the determination to be oppressed and killed, in order to protect the clansmen of nearly 400 people out of the city safely. Seek a better survival for the people.
Now all the people of the Sa tribe have a unified decision and will, that is, after leaving Shanjun City, they will pin their hopes on the benevolence of Her Majesty the Empress, and hope that they can be contained and accepted by the Loulan people of Qishan City.
Of course, as for the result that the princess wants in Shanjun City, it will be completely utopian when my people leave Shanjun City, and my people will no longer succumb because of the clansmen who stay in the city, if they succumb, our people will have no foothold, no meaning of survival, and my surviving clansmen will survive better because of the warriors who stayed in Shanjun City.
I am the leader of the Sa tribe, and I can only protect the survival of most of the tribesmen for a while, and pray for the blessings of the tribesmen who stay in the city of Shanjun, but I have no ability to rescue and have no ability to protect, and that part is to choose fearlessness for the better life of the people in the city of Shanjun.
What he said in front of the empress today is absolutely true, it is said on behalf of the four hundred tribesmen, begging the empress to take it in and help her, now the Gobi Desert is completely unsuitable for the survival of small and weak nomadic tribes, if the empress does not take in my race, the fate of my race can be imagined.
If you are accepted by your people, our people will resolutely obey the rules and regulations of Loulan State, obey the command of the military and political government of Loulan, maintain it for the stability of Loulan State, and be fearless of life and death for the eternal stability of Qishan City.
Lan Qi'er and everyone else present understood, understood the reason why the Sa tribe suddenly appeared here, and understood the current situation and the clear indication of the Sa tribe.
Everyone also knows what kind of person Wang Guifei is, she can do anything, and knows that if this part of the Sa people does not fulfill Wang Guifei's wishes, a small number of Sa people in Shanjun City really don't dare to think about the consequences, and they all express sympathy and understanding for the current situation of the Sa people!
Lan Qi'er is the empress, although her heart was moved and she had compassion, but she was responsible for the people of the entire Qishan Mountain, including the Qiang people in the west of Qishan, the Sa people said that the people's hearts are unpredictable, how can it be difficult to confirm for a while, the reality is the situation in front of you, but how is it good!
Lan Qi'er couldn't reply for a while, because the responsibility was too great, the leader of the Sa tribe was still kneeling, Lan Qi'er had to speak: The leader of the nobles is like this, although the empress has the right to decide, but things are sudden, the nobles' stay in Qishan City is not a trivial matter, and it may involve war, I can't be arbitrary for a while, you get up first, I want to go back to the city to hold a court meeting, ask for public opinion, whether you can allow the nobles to enter the city, and the nobles will be given an answer in two hours, can you allow it, do you see it?
The leader of the Sa tribe heard Lan Qi'er's words, and knew that Lan Qi'er's heart should be moved, and the clansmen had hope for entering Qishan City, so he immediately said: The minister is willing to wait, the minister is willing to kneel here and wait, and send the empress, long live, long live, long live.
Lan Qi'er was escorted by Eunuch Xue and the Praetorian Guards and others, and returned to the court, and the Praetorian Guards naturally divided their troops and ordered the ministers to hold a court meeting on the way.
