Chapter 116: Two Choices
readx;? One thing that Mao Mao didn't care much about had a huge significance in Elder Han Li's eyes. The www.biquge.info of the pen and fun pavilion immediately said: "Little Patriarch, what about your simplified exercises, show me quickly." ”
Mao Mao took out the cheats in his arms, and before he could reach out and hand it to Elder Han Li, he was almost snatched by Han Li.
Han Li only took a cursory look at it, and then walked out of the door of the Danfang with the secret book.
Mao Mao asked in the back, "Alas, my crisp balls are still in the stove from Uncle." ”
"Little Patriarch, you don't know, start your own furnace, I'll go to your mountain master Uncle and Uncle Sun. Han Li said without looking back. Soon disappeared from Maomao's sight.

"Your Excellency, that shipment is almost here. A fat-faced, simple-dressed man said to a middle-aged man with a wide head, big ears, a full beard, a fine black silk robe, and a pale yellow pleated placket with intricate rust patterns.
"What kind of goods, Mr. last time's strategy seems to be almost hot, this He Yanyun pretended to be crazy and stupid for me to vaguely point out the alliance, pretending to be stupid. "This middle-aged man is none other than Liu Qing, the patriarch of the Liu clan. Said with some annoyance, not paying attention to what the gentleman said.
The gentleman in Liu Qing's mouth is named Yang Dushan, and his surname is Yang, but it does not mean that he is a member of the Yang clan in southern Xinjiang, but an authentic person from the Han Dynasty. was originally one of the bandits in the southern Xinjiang mountains, and when Yang Qianshan led his men to deliver the elixir and spiritual grass, Liu Qing admired his talent and recruited him for his own use.
After several plots, he has now become a 'strategist', a position with no military power. In fact, even if this Liu Qing wanted to appoint his henchman a position with military power, he couldn't do it, because this appointment power was firmly grasped by the Southern Barbarian Emperor Yang Gudu.
"The patriarch has already said last time that it is impossible to do this, judging from the situation that He Yanyun fed back, the emperor will do something to us sooner or later. Until now, the patriarch was still thinking about it, and Yang Qianshan said with some grievances.
"Mr. did say it last time, but the territory of my Liu clan for so many years has fallen to the point where it is now, and I am not reconciled, and I have no shame to face my father and grandfather after I die. What kind of goods is that gentleman talking about?"
He is shameless in the face of his father and grandfather, and his words are beautiful, but he can't accept the gap between himself who used to dominate a place and is free, and now no one listens to the tune and has no power in his hands.
These strategists Yang Qianshan naturally saw and heard clearly, and at first he was confused by the patriarch, and he forgot the purpose of his visit.
"Since the Emperor will do it sooner or later, we only have two choices at the moment, one: show the Emperor as soon as possible that he has no second thoughts. ”
As soon as Yang Qianshan finished speaking, he was interrupted by this Liu Qing waving his hand and said: "It is absolutely impossible for me to call that person a second time." Sir, what about these two. ”
Yang Qianshan smiled bitterly and said: "Please also ask the patriarch to listen to me, these two are to divide our territory and seize all the forces in the territory, so as to draw a line with the rest of the tribes and the Great Emperor." If this emperor comes to attack, this newly stabilized regime will definitely collapse again, as long as there is chaos, we will have a chance. ”
"Sir, how to grasp the power in this territory, it's ridiculous that I, Liu Qing, as a patriarch, can only mobilize those 30,000 soldiers now. Not to mention the army of the Bodhisattva barbarian overseers sent by Yang Gudu, you have also seen the attitude of the black barbarian before, and we are not of the same heart. Liu Qing said with some hatred.
"This army other than 30,000 soldiers and horses, as long as we control the overall situation, it is not too difficult for us to have a general here, after all, no matter how Yang Gudu changes most of these people, it is still my Liu family's people. As for the overseer, we have to rely on the goods ordered by the emperor himself. Yang said.
"Oh, sir, please. Although this Liu Qing is not smart, he is willing to listen to Yang Qianshan's opinions, and his attitude is also very respectful.
After leaving Niutou Mountain, Yuankong and the others did not encounter any accidents along the way, which can be described as unimpeded.
"Chen Shun, you miss her too, she didn't tell me who this batch of goods was transporting in such a hurry, who should I find after I arrived, what should I say, there must be a basis in this hand." Yuankong said to the young man who was riding a horse and following him.
Since Liang Hongying left, this Chen Shun has replaced the eldest lady and become the person who communicates with His Royal Highness the Prince. Chen Shun was originally also the person with the highest martial arts cultivation among the children of the hundreds of worms and sand gangs.
After listening to his uncle, Chen Shun said: "This uncle, please rest assured, the delivery order of the commercial car is on me, I remember that the eldest lady said that she was helping the Wheat City Taishou to transport." ”
Originally, it was difficult to reveal the person behind it, and Chen Shunben hesitated, but when he thought that it was his uncle, even if it was not the person that Miss trusted so much, he said it.
The disciples of this Worm Sand Gang have always called Yuankong their uncle, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally explained it once, but it was useless, and since it was useless, he would not say more.
Wheat City Taishou is Liu Yi, with him still not being able to play such a big thing, Yuan Kong muttered in his heart that there must be people from the temple behind this.
"Uncle, through the dense forest in front, we will enter the territory of the Southern Barbarians. After walking for a while, the others saw a forest in front of them, and then Chen Shun said to Yuankong.
The people of southern Xinjiang are divided into five major tribes, which are divided into a piece of territory by each department, and there is occasional friction but it is distinct, and the houses built with southern birch as the main body have obviously different characteristics.
Since Yang Gu unified Southern Xinjiang, these five parts have become subordinates of the Southern Barbarian Emperor, and they are no longer separated from each other, of course, it is impossible to say that complete integration is impossible in such a short time.
The population of the entire southern Xinjiang is actually not much, about one-tenth of the number of people in the three places of the Han Dynasty, Qingyang and Dongque, but the southern barbarians are a fighting nation, and those who can fight can become soldiers in addition to the old and the young, both men and women.
Coming out of the dense forest, he first entered the territory of the original Liu clan, and there were more than a dozen small tribes under the three branches, many wooden houses high and low, some small and exquisite, some huge and magnificent, and there was a unique sense of sacredness.
Further inside, next to each other are the three clans of Shantai, Fan, and He. The innermost is the Yang clan, and the 'Gexuan' of this Nanban is equivalent to the palace of the Han Dynasty, which is within this Yang clan.
The Southern Barbarian Emperor followed the example of the newly established political power center of the Han Dynasty, and naturally had many inconveniences at first, such as the daily parliament was a big problem. Although the number of these Nanban is one-tenth, the combined area of these five departments is a little larger than that of the entire Han Dynasty.
The patriarch of each clan stays in his own tribe, so it is impossible to achieve a daily council at all, for example, the distance from the Liu clan to the Yang clan is equivalent to the distance from the northernmost wheat city of the Han Dynasty to the southernmost Shacheng Pass.
Therefore, at the beginning, the five clan chiefs and the second and third levels of 'Zhu' and 'Mu' under the patriarch all lived in the territory of the Yang clan, one was equivalent to a hostage, the other was also convenient for the council, and the third was said to be unified, but the people of the several major tribes under it, Yang Gudu, also needed time to absorb. Of course, after the emperor unified southern Xinjiang, he was no longer called the patriarch, and the position was appointed as the 'lord'.
The people of southern Xinjiang rely on the 100,000 mountains to naturally rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and there are few disputes under the major tribes on weekdays, and after a few years, there is only the lack of the patriarch and the 'Zhu' and 'Mu' adults, and there is no big problem.
A few years later, it is estimated that Emperor Yang also felt that several tribes were almost in control, so he put these people back, and in addition to the urgent convening, the daily council was also changed to a biennial meeting.
After these adults went back, they found that their clan had indeed changed, and I couldn't say how it had changed, in short, except for the family soldiers, the other armies were not as good as the original, and there was an overseer selected from the Bodhisattva by his side. The Governor led a contingent of several thousand men and stationed himself in his tribe for a long time.
As for the previous connection between the Liu clan and this Bodhisattva Man, in fact, the Bodhisattva Barbarian Governor sent by the Southern Barbarian Emperor to supervise the Liu clan cooperated with the Liu clan patriarch for some reason.
"Stop coming. "A young soldier in thin armor armed with a spear came out of the territory of the Liu clan. The territory of this Nanban is very large, but there are not many fortifications, because there is no need for that.
This is the depths of southern Xinjiang, if a large number of troops dare to attack southern Xinjiang, in the middle of this 100,000 mountains, they will have to be reduced due to poisonous insects and beasts. Besides, you have to be discovered by the Nanban soldiers before you enter this depth, and before you hit this, the Nanban will take the lead in attacking, and after countless jungle battles, a large number of troops can finally hit the doorstep, if the enemy has this strength, even more fortifications will not help.
Even the Hongwu Emperor thousands of years ago recorded in the history books crippled the southern barbarians, and the turtle could not shrink, and he did not reach the depths to achieve true unification. But in exchange for hundreds of years of peace, the southern barbarians would no longer come out at will to harass the imperial border, and both sides began a long period of recuperation.
Of course, this situation changed in the previous dynasty, and the former dynasty Taizu abandoned the border to carry out a large number of people migration, and changed the imperial city to Leyang, backed by Shacheng to resist danger and guard. Until now, Yiyang of the Han Dynasty still takes Leyang as the dynasty, and attaches more importance to this Shachengguan.
"We are," Chen Shun said as he stepped forward from the caravan, placing the paperwork in his arms into the hands of the Southern Barbarian soldier as he spoke.
Over the years, there have naturally been a lot of caravans from there entering southern Xinjiang, and this young man also knows it, and after seeing it, he confirmed his identity and said: "You didn't choose a good day today, if you came earlier, you would be able to deal with it quickly, but now, you have to stay temporarily, of course, you can also choose how to come and how to go back." ”
After the young man said casually, he looked at Chen Shun and said, his attitude was not good, but he was not domineering.
"If it's convenient, I want to ask the general what is the reason for?" Chen Shun arched his hand and addressed the person as a general, of course, this person was just a small soldier, naturally not a general.
The young Southern Barbarian said without raising his eyelids: "It's inconvenient, okay, you can make a choice." "I don't know if there's something urgent, I'm a little impatient.
