However, he was no longer able to control the tribes of the Cloud Grassland, and a large number of tribes followed Wang Ting to the north, and the Cloud Grassland fell into chaos for a while.

So the happiest person at this time is probably the Tashi Khan of the Western Turks.

After being surprised, Ashina Biji was the first to stand up with a smile and compliment:

"Kotun has always been so wise, and I have heard the cry of the people of the east, and if Qiura can lead his tribe there, it will certainly give them hope, and they will be very grateful for Kotun's kindness."

"Let's hope so!"

Ashina Yuanhuan nodded and smiled.

Then she looked at Ashina Biji, and her voice immediately became low, and it was full of authority.

"As the leader of the southern part of Ashinashi, the other tribes are willing to talk to you... So what do you think will be the consequences of Ashinaqiura's migration to the border between Youzhou and Murowei? ”

At this time, Ashina Biji already understood why it was just the three clan masters who were invited to the inner hall of the royal court.

Ashina Biji is undoubtedly the representative of the four major tribes of the royal court, and Yuanhuan believes that he must be the one who agrees with letting Ashina Qiu Luo move eastward.

While admiring Kedun Yuanhuan's political skills, he still couldn't understand why she wanted to separate the four tribes?

Doesn't that seem like it's going to do her rule any good?

Of course, it didn't matter if he didn't understand it, his heart suddenly came alive.

Since Ashinaqiura's tribe can leave the royal court, can he also take his own people to the south, to the border in the clouds?

My heart is getting hot.

But after all, he is not young in his early forties, and he is not so impulsive in his pursuit of power.

Because this offer is likely to make him die in the royal court.

So be cautious and cautious.

In Yuanhuan's charming and moving gaze, Ashina Biji lowered his head and said dryly:

"It's just that if Qiuluo moves east, the elders of the royal court clan should have a credible reason, otherwise, the other tribes think that Ashina Qiuluo made a mistake and will be driven out of the royal court..."

Ashina, who had been standing on the side and watching coldly, finally had a chance to speak.

"Brother Clan, please don't let the tribe have such a misunderstanding, as the arm and sword of Moxi Khan, the loyalty of the Qiuluo tribe is unquestionable, and he even cut off the head of a rebel for Mosi Khan last year."

"This time, in order to curb the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains forces, Khan and Kedun decided to give them a new mission, what? My patriarch, do you want to question Khan Khan's decision? ”

When the Khan Duji who was sitting on the side heard this, he was angry.

Ma Di, this is all the idea of the, take care of Lao Tzu's bird affairs.

However, he was inconvenient to refute on the spot.

In addition to himself, his wife, concubines, grandchildren, and grandchildren are all under the control of Yuanhuan, and the consequences of a complete fall out are unimaginable.

Looking at this scene, Duji gloated.

No matter what Ashina Biji wants, once this matter is confirmed, he, as the head of the four major tribes, has to face other people's questions.

Khan and Khan are still so worthy of awe.

……

Ashina Biji walked slowly out of the palace.

The palace clan elders were very short-lived, but they decided two major events.

He basically didn't say a few words, but he played a role that cannot be ignored.

The wind and sand blowing on the grassland, dry and hot, Ashina Biji once again lamented the difficulty of survival.

He has lived in the royal court for many years, but he has begun to adapt to life outside the royal court.

Thinking of everything that happened in the Fang Cai Palace, he couldn't help but think of his own jurisdiction, the Grassland in the Clouds.

There he was the Southern Khan.

It is not only in charge of the richest place in the grassland in the clouds, but also in the adjacent areas such as Dingxiang County and Yunzhong City in the final Jin Dynasty.

Moreover, the tribal leaders in the clouds give him rich gifts every year.

Coupled with the trade of the Mayi border city opened this year, presumably in the near future,

This Mayi city will definitely become a dazzling pearl on the grassland.

All those who chase Shangyi will come here under the attraction of its light and be impressed by it.

As for the royal court, it was full of intrigue and obscenity, the khan was hollowed out, and the whispers of the nobles.

It's scary and distracting.

He also understood that he had lost his former influence in front of Kedun Yuanhuan.

This girl crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and now she has a new darling, the prince, who puts him in control of the royal army.

Ashina Biji suddenly felt a chill in his back.

He knows too much about the inside story of the royal court, and a year ago he was calculating, and he had a part to contribute, and it was not small.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should leave the royal court soon.

He faintly smelled of danger.

It would have been better if Yuanhuan had allowed him to take all of his men with him when he was allowed to go.

But even a fool understands that it's a pipe dream.

……

Northern Youzhou - Yanshan Mountain Range Logging Ground.

This lumber yard belongs to the territory of the Final Jin Empire, under the jurisdiction of the Youzhou Daoxing Camp of the Final Jin Empire.

It is the largest logging and processing plant in the entire jurisdiction of Youzhou Prefecture, with more than 20,000 lumberjacks, plus family members, a population of 50,000 or 60,000.

The large population formed a market town at the west entrance of Yanshan.

Many merchants inside and outside the customs are here to purchase timber, through the Yongqu River, Yanghe waterway canal, timber transport to the Central Plains.

Outsiders passing by only need one glance to sniff out the poverty here.

Except for a few buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles, which are quite exquisite, most of the rest are houses made of trees, densely packed together.

There is only a narrow passage between the houses, which is no more than two meters wide, and the entire settlement area is a cross-flow of sewage, which is extremely smelly, and the living environment is extremely bad.

The bare-bottomed babies ran happily in this narrow alley barefoot, and the sewage splashed from their feet fell into the pots of the women who were preparing dinner on the side, attracting a burst of angry scolding.

The boy doesn't know what it's like to be sad.

These dolls naturally don't know that even if the food is soiled by sewage, their parents are reluctant to throw it away.

Even if you smell the smell inside while eating, you can only sigh and pinch your nose and swallow it.

There is no overnight food at home, and it is best to describe them.

In addition to the cheap mountain vegetables here, the weather is hot and the animal offal does not grow long, and it stinks everywhere.

Fresh meat is rare, except for the New Year.

No one can afford to eat pork, let alone beef and mutton, and white-flour steamed buns are occasionally available, but they are also for men who work hard in the mountains.

Women, the elderly, and children can only eat black and mixed more often

Black bun with wild vegetable noodles.

Even so, there are always two months of the year when they have to go hungry in order to save a little food so that the men who are desperate outside can eat a little more.

In the past, life was barely enough, but a flash flood a month ago put the people here in a desperate situation.
