Liu Zhang and Gongsun Du talked for a long time in the village, and the leader of the Qiang people may reply in two days.

The leader of the Qiang people would definitely not come to Shu County to negotiate, he felt unsafe.

He also knew that the other party would not go to the territory of the Qiang people, so he could only choose the place where Shu County bordered the territory of the Qiang people.

There is a large area of no man's land, where there are many wild animals, and the reason why no one lives them.

The environment there was not very suitable for human life, and the Qiang people often came to Shu County through no man's land to loot supplies.

Their living environment is even worse, and the Han army has not pursued them.

It's just that the Qiang people run faster. They escaped the pursuit of the Han army many times.

On January 21, the weather gradually warmed up, and the leader of the Qiang people sent someone to deliver the message.

The Qiang leader had arrived in the buffer zone between Shu County and the Qiang territory, where he negotiated with the Han Dynasty leaders.

It is not said that it is a negotiation with Liu Zhang, or it is the Taishou of Shu County.

Either Gongsun Du, the leader of the Qiang people learned that Gongsun Du had a very high official position.

I also learned that Liu Zhang is very smart, but he is too young.

Definitely not the supreme person, Liu Zhang and Gongsun Du went to negotiate with the leader of the Qiang people.

This time, he brought 5,000 Han troops and mobilized one-sixth of the troops of Shu County.

In order to ensure the safety of Liu Zhang and Gongsun Du, the leader of the Qiang people brought 10,000 Qiang troops.

The two sides reached no man's land, and the leader of the Qiang people called Bangatso.

They saw Liu Zhang and others coming over with a lot of troops, if the negotiations failed.

There is a possibility that the two sides will fight, although the Qiang army has 5,000 more than the other side.

The combat effectiveness of the Qiang army is naturally inferior to that of the Han army, and for a long time, Ban Jiacuo has repeatedly told the clansmen.

It's okay to rob things, but you can't hurt people and kill people, and don't completely anger the local government.

They only take living supplies, and he knows that the Han Dynasty is not easy to mess with.

"We brought some cattle and sheep this time, and that's all we can get our hands on."

Banga Tso asked the other party to see the cattle and sheep behind them, hoping that the other party would release them.

"You think we are Qiang, but in fact, we are also Huaxia. When the Xia Dynasty was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty, our ancestors were the descendants of the Shang Dynasty, and my name was translated as the Chinese name is Xi Pu. ”

Bangatso is the pronunciation of the ancient language, which translates to 姒pu.

Liu Zhang didn't know much about the Qiang people, but only knew a little about it through the oracle bone inscription.

The Shang Dynasty launched a war against the Qiang people for no reason, and also captured many Qiang people.

They were used as human sacrifices, and there is no record in the history books why the Shang Dynasty crusaded against the Qiang people for no reason.

At that time, the territory of the Shang Dynasty was far away from the territory of the Qiang people, and the Qiang people hardly attacked the Shang Dynasty.

There was only one reason for that, they were the descendants of Xia Wei.

They fled to the southwest, and the Shang Dynasty wanted to completely wipe out the Qiang people.

They believed that the Qiang people were the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, and some Xia Dynasty nobles fled to the northern grasslands.

It has been more than 1,400 years since the fall of the Xia Dynasty, are they the descendants of Xia Wei?

Pangyatso's rhetoric alone is hardly convincing.

Unless he can come up with strong evidence, the totem of the Xia Dynasty clan's belief is the dragon.

There are not many descriptions of dragons during the Xia Dynasty, and Liu Zhang looked at what Banga Cuo was wearing.

He was dressed in black bear skin and wore a golden crown adorned with the tail feathers of an unknown bird.

It looks more like a large headband with gemstones of various colors set on it.

The gold crown was very delicately made, and he held a bronze skull in his hand.

The bronze Yue didn't look lethal, it looked more like a token of power.

Liu Zhang guessed that the bronze Yue he was holding in his hand had been around for some years, and it was also a symbol of Bangatso's status.

"You said that you are a descendant of the Xia Dynasty clan, is there anything you can prove?"

Gongsun Du asked Ban Jiacuo, and Zheng Xun was Liu Zhang's translator.

Bangatso also knew Shu, but he couldn't speak Chinese.

Since Liu Zhang came to Shu County, he has heard many languages.

He was dizzy when he heard it, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Fortunately, he didn't travel physically, otherwise he wouldn't even understand the words of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Yun said the words of Henan County, which were completely different from the words of Henan more than 2,000 years later.

Seriously, it sounds harder than Cantonese, and that's the benefit of his soul piercing.

Of course, people in this era can understand what Chen Yun said about Henan County.

The wrong words of the move made him even more incomprehensible, but fortunately he brought Ba Duo and Zheng Xun as translators.

"This is a token of power that we have brought out since the fall of the Xia Dynasty. This is Teng Longyue, you don't believe it, I can't help it. ”

The tokens in his hands were passed down from generation to generation, and they were brought here to make them believe.

Liu Zhang could only believe half of his words, because time was too long.

No one can say clearly, the Xia Dynasty did exist, and it was indeed destroyed by Shang Tang.

It has been 1,477 years since the fall of the Xia Dynasty, and many Xia Dynasty nobles have fled to the vicinity of China.

New kingdoms were established in some regions, continuing the culture of the Xia dynasty.

"It's not right for us to steal things, but our people also want to live. We are not able to produce enough food in that place, so please let our people go. ”

Bangatso begged Liu Zhang to release them and give them some compensation.

In addition to cattle and sheep, there was some gold and copper, and the grain had been distributed to the people.

Not much was grabbed this time, and the Qiang people are currently living a difficult life.

"Our people haven't had a good time in the past two years, and I'm not afraid to tell you. We usually only grab what we can eat, and we also grab some clothes. ”

What Ban Jiacuo said is also true, sometimes some villages in Shu County were plundered by the Qiang people.

They only grabbed food and clothing, and basically did not hurt anyone.

"Do you think you should give them back?"

Liu Zhang asked Gongsun Du that what the other party gave was obviously not enough to make up for the losses of the various ethnic groups in Shu County.

It seems that the Qiang people are not doing very well, and Liu Zhang's idea is to trivialize.

Make an agreement with the other party so that they don't come to rob them in the future.

Liu Zhang can find a way to help them solve the problem of difficult planting and make Shu County more stable.

Try to be as friendly as possible with the neighboring national regimes, have one more friend, and have one more road.

Of course, there is no possibility of peace talks with the Xiongnu, and the situation of the Xiongnu is different from that of these peoples.

"I think I can hand people over to them so that they don't come to rob them in the future."

If they don't keep their credibility, catch the Qiang people next time.

sent them to repair the Great Wall, and Gongsun Du also wanted to make things smaller.

Through Zheng Xun's translation, I learned that the Qiang people had a difficult life.

Their living environment is already harsh, if they are really the descendants of Xia Wei.

Then they are also part of the Huaxia ethnic group, so they should be united and friendly with them.

Gongsun Du had the same idea as Liu Zhang, as for the loss of the various ethnic groups in Shu County.

That can only be compensated by other methods, and it can also reduce the pressure on law and order in Shu County.

"We agree to hand people over to you, but we have to sign an agreement. How much food do you still have? ”

Liu Zhang asked Ban Jiacuo about the situation of the Qiang people, hoping that he could tell the truth.

I won't go to the territory of the Qiang people for field investigations, and everyone can't stand the climate of that place.

Liu Zhang had already drawn up an agreement, which was written in Chinese characters, and it didn't matter whether the other party could understand it or not.

Let Zheng Xun read it according to the content of the agreement, Ban Jiacuo can understand it, but he can't understand it.

Now he had to agree to Liu Zhang's request, and many Qiang people were still in their hands.

Judging from the content of the agreement, there is not much disadvantage to the Qiang people.

It is hoped that they will not rob the grain of other villages in the future, and the Han Dynasty will provide them with crops suitable for the plateau area.

Liu Zhang was not worried that they had harvested a large amount of grain, and then sent people over to rob it.

They need to know the consequences of being an enemy of the Han Dynasty, and Banga Cuo is a very intelligent person.

Liu Zhang, as a negotiator, signed it.

Each side held one copy, and Bangatso also signed it.

The text he wrote was hieroglyphics, close to oracle bone inscriptions.

Ban Jiacuo confirmed that the words on it were exactly the same, and hoped that Liu Zhang and they would not cheat.

Bangatso asked the gold, copper, cattle and sheep to be sent to the other side, and the negotiations were over.

The friendship between the two sides may only last for a few decades or even a hundred years, at least for the time being, in favor of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhang's goal was achieved, and he asked him to hand over some barley and other seeds suitable for highland crops to the other party.

There are also picture books, and I also know that they can't read words, so I teach them how to plant in the form of pictures.

Liu Zhang helped them in this way, and also expressed the sincerity of the Han Dynasty.

It will definitely be able to move the Qiang people and let them know that it was the Han Dynasty that helped them through their difficulties.

"You take these seeds back and plant them in March and April. It can be harvested from August to September, and this planting atlas will help you to a certain extent. ”

Bangatso opened the atlas and looked at it, and the words on it were very detailed.

Although there were no words, he could read them, and he felt that this book was a precious treasure.

In the future, their people will be able to harvest more food than ever before, if they cultivate according to the planting methods in the atlas.
