Chapter 230: Discussion (The Sun and the Moon in the Silver Alliance Pot 19/50)
Huo Gang was not surprised, before he said it, the expression on the other party's face had already told him the answer.
"Oh, to be honest, whoever gives me these 70,000 sheep is the same, it makes no difference to me, but since you are here, the leader of Yi Nan, I can tell you the truth." Huo Gang thought for a moment, and then changed his words.
"Chief, please speak." Yi Nan said immediately.
"That's right, in fact, I don't have a big impression of Jieli, although he is the Khan of the Eastern Turks, yes, but he is greedy, loves money but is timid, indecisive, and changes his orders, and the most important thing is that this time he sent an envoy to actually want me to pay tribute to him." Huo Gang said lightly.
"That's why I brought up the matter of these 70,000 sheep, I am very clear about the relationship between your Xue Yantuo Department and the Eastern Turks, and I am also very clear about the relationship with Jieli, although you are now nominally attributed to Jieli, but I have no ill feelings towards you Xue Yantuo Department, if you are willing, I will not target you."
"You can drive these 70,000 sheep back, I will ask Jieli for another 70,000 sheep, if he doesn't agree, I don't mind going to war with him, of course, I will pass through your territory then, I don't think you should mind letting me spend it from your territory, right?" And between the two of us, we can trade, we can buy wool and horses from your land, we can provide you with some grain, salt, and even steel, and all this is fine. Huo Gang said with a smile.
As soon as Huo Gang's words came out, several people around Yi Nan immediately became in a commotion, if this was really possible, this would naturally be more simply than them going to directly join Huo Gang.
"Leader Huo Gang, thank you for your attention to us, to be honest, we also want to form an alliance with you, but although we have an alliance, it is also simple to destroy the relationship between us, for example, if Jieli sends people to attack your people under our banner, we will really be at a loss at that time." Yi Nan paused before speaking directly.
"So, after we discussed...... "Yi Nan was about to tell his original purpose.
"Wait." Huo Gang directly interrupted Yi Nan's words, Huo Gang already knew what Yi Nan was going to say, but Xue Yantuo was not a small tribe, and Yi Nan alone could not decide the entire tribe.
"That's it, I see that you have been on the road for two days, you should be very tired, we won't talk about it tonight, I will have someone arrange a place for you to stay, you have a good rest for the night, and then we will talk tomorrow, how about it?" Huo Gang said with a smile.
"Huh?" Yi Nan looked at Huo Gang a little stunned, Huo Gang was smiling and his face was very calm, but judging from his interruption, Yi Nan knew that Huo Gang should have guessed what he was going to say.
But why did he interrupt himself? Shouldn't it be just a quick talk today? Does this give yourself time to discuss? Not only Yi Nan was stunned, but the people around him were also stunned, they did have something to say just now.
But because they were here with Huo Gang, they had no way to say, but to their surprise, Huo Gang took the initiative to give them this time.
"This ...... Well, since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, then it's troublesome to Leader Huo. ”
"Don't bother, Huo Zheng, take a few leaders to rest, and prepare food for them at night." Huo Gang said.
"Yes!" Huo Zheng immediately stood up and bowed and spoke.
After Yi Nan and the others were taken away by Huo Zheng, Huo Gang smiled, he knew what Yi Nan wanted to say, but these things, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and from the fact that he just said the alliance, those people under Yi Nan were a little excited, and their previous choice was obviously forced to be helpless.
So Huo Gang gave them this opportunity, and he was forced to be helpless, and sincerely took the initiative to join, which is naturally completely different, even if he just asked him to say it, but it didn't take effect immediately, and the other party would definitely talk after he went back.
Instead of that, Huo Gang might as well take the initiative to give them a chance to discuss, so that he would be a little more generous, and when they joined, they would be more willing.
In that case, if they still choose to join, Huo Gang doesn't mind directly reusing people like Yi Nan, if they choose to form an alliance, then Huo Gang doesn't care, and an alliance is also possible, because if a big drought breaks out this year, it is estimated that Liangzhou, Guazhou can get a lot of Han population.
After all, the population of Xue Yantuo's department is quite large. Accept it, Huo Gang really has some food pressure, if he joins sincerely, forget it, no, Huo Gang still has to work hard to sort them out, now that the entire territory is in a period of rapid development, Huo Gang doesn't have so much time to toss this.
After he stabilizes this year, starting next year, they will enter a time of rapid expansion, when thousands of high-rise buildings are raised from the ground, the foundation is laid, and everything will be easy to say at that time.
Yi Nan and they were quickly arranged in a courtyard, which was not far from Huo Gang's general's mansion, although the residences here were also felt tents, but the entire courtyard was encircled separately, in fact, it was prepared for Li Yi and the others.
The preparation in the whole felt tent is also relatively luxurious, and it happened that it was time to eat when they came, so when Huo Zheng brought them over, Wu Ping also arranged to send the meal over.
Nothing special, almost all of them are the most common now, there are no steamed buns with the bran removed, and the broth with a little spice and salt in them, but after all, they are guests from afar, they have a little more meat in their bowls, their broth is enough, and the steamed buns are enough.
There are more things, Huo Gang is gone, and now Huo Gang's own food is basically these, at most, because of Xia Zhu, Huo Gang eats a little finer. But compared to later generations, Huo Gang has long been used to it.
Yi Nan They are indeed hungry, although this is a black-faced steamed bun, but for them, it is still a delicacy that is difficult to eat all year round, almost everyone eats at least three steamed buns, one steamed bun is almost close to half a catty, and two bowls of broth are drunk.
When they had finished eating, they all sat down again in the largest felt tent.
"Chief, I have already sent someone to see it, this courtyard is independent, our people are guarding outside, there is no person from the leader of Huo Gang here, and we can't be heard from the outside, the other party is very sincere." Da Gu first arranged for someone to take a look around the courtyard before coming in to report.
"Well, everyone, you all heard what Leader Huo Gang said just now, I know you all wanted to talk just now, and now the other party also gives us time, say, what do you want to say?" Yi Nan looked at them directly and said.
"Chief, since Leader Huo Gang said that he could form an alliance with us, do we still maintain our Xue Yantuo Department? We, the Tiele people, have been inherited for so many years, and if we completely join the Han Dynasty, then our Xue Yantuo Department will no longer exist. A Turk hesitated and spoke.
"Yes, Chief, Leader Huo Gang also said that he can even trade grain, salt, steel, and so on with us."
"I know, I've heard it all, but I don't think the same as you." Yi Nan waited for them to finish before he said in a calm tone, "It is precisely because Leader Huo Gang said this that I have strengthened my idea of joining the Great Han." ”
"Why?" Everyone else was a little stunned.
"Why? Don't you think Leader Huo Gang has actually guessed what we're here for? Yi Nan looked at them and said.
A few people in the felt tent were stunned for a moment, but they thought about it carefully, it was true, Huo Gang's various behaviors had already explained, and he already knew their plans.
"You see, since Leader Huo Gang already knows about our plans, but he is still willing to let us come back to discuss, which shows that he respects us very much."
"And don't you find a thing? We didn't meet anyone along the way, but the leader of Huo Gang was already waiting for us there, and more importantly, you all know what the vicinity of this Yumen Pass was like before, but what is it like now? Did you see that?! Yi Nan looked at them and said.
"That's right! That's a big change! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was dreaming, and in our entire territory, there were only such aquatic plants near the Juyan Sea. The older one reacted, too.
Yi Nan didn't mention it, and they didn't think about it for a while.
"Can Juyanhai compare to here? Although Juyanhai has lush reeds, although there is a lot of grass in the grass around Juyanhai, it is also very barren, do you see the grass growing around this Yumen Pass just now? More than a foot tall! This kind of grass can only be found in places like Gohara! Dagu retorted directly.
"That's true...... And this place was originally a Gobi Desert. Don't you understand?! Yi Nan said with emotion, "I finally know why all the Turkic people in Tongluo are willing to integrate into the Han Dynasty, with such a grassland, our cattle and sheep will not lack forage at all." ”
"We can dry enough hay in the summer, and we don't have to migrate in the winter. If this can be the case here, then the legend of Huo Cihe should also be true, do you all know what it means? Moreover, what has become of drought in our Xue Yantuo territory this year, but have you seen any signs of drought here? Yi Nan looked at them and said.
yes, what does that mean? Everyone was stunned for a moment, of course they knew what it meant, it meant...... Huo Gang is really the embodiment of Immortal Heaven just like the legend!
Glancing at them, Yi Nan said directly: "So, I have already made up my mind, tomorrow I will follow our original idea and ask to join the Great Han, but I want the leader of Huo Gang to take us to see Huo Cihe, I believe he will definitely take us there, if it is true there, isn't this the life of Xue Yantuo that we have been praying for and asking for the immortal heaven to give us?!" ”
Oh, yes! If all this is true, isn't that what they have been asking for? Yi Nan's words made everyone's hearts instantly become hot.
