The reason why Liu Zhang helped the Qiang people was also out of long-term strategic considerations.

As much as possible, the Han Dynasty had fewer enemies, although the Qiang people were not many in number.

The strength of the Qiang people is not very strong, but the Qiang people cannot be underestimated.

Some people may be puzzled that the Qiang people often loot in the territory of Shu County.

In turn, he helped them for so long and with so much effort.

"I'll tell you about this when I get back, and I'm not helping in vain."

Liu Zhang's words were full of confidence, and the current biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty was the Xiongnu.

If they were enemies of the Qiang, they might cooperate with the Xiongnu.

The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Liu Zhang has a way to disintegrate the subsidiary forces of the Xiongnu.

Gongsun Du saw what he had just done and knew that he was thinking longer than others.

It is not possible to get a momentary advantage for the sake of a moment, and let the Han Dynasty face many enemies.

"I see what you mean, I think you're doing the right thing."

At least it can win stability for decades in the southwest of the Han Dynasty, and use fewer troops in the southwest.

Recently, he has been trying to alleviate the contradictions between various ethnic groups, in order to make the security in Shu County better.

This time I came to Shu County for disaster relief, but it was not as easy as simple disaster relief.

Many people in the DPRK and China are reluctant to come to this place, and the economy of Shu County is not rich.

It is mountainous and ethnic, and there are many languages, so communication is very difficult.

Liu Che knew that many officials were reluctant to come, so he handed over the arduous task to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang accepted it without hesitation, and waited for him to arrive in Shu County.

The situation here was found to be particularly complicated, thanks to his ingenuity.

He had a good relationship with the various ethnic groups in Shu County and left a good impression on them.

Gongsun Du also admires him very much, and some of the things he has dealt with recently have not been so impulsive.

"In the future, you can call me Xipu, and when my people harvest food, our people will invite you to eat the first bowl of rice."

This is the custom of their Qiang people, the new grain harvested, the first bowl of rice that is steamed.

It will be eaten by the most honorable people, which represents strength, first, health, and honor.

Every year, the Qiang people harvest new grain, and the best will be offered to the Qiang leaders.

I just looked at the crop seeds, and the seeds were full of grains.

It looks fresh, I don't know what the yield of this seed is.

"We Qiang people have always been trustworthy, and you deserve to be friends with us."

Bangatso asked the slave to bring the good wine, which was supposed to wait until the negotiations were over.

Drinking and pact with each other is also the custom of their Qiang people.

As long as both parties have drunk, they cannot go back.

Gongsun Du was a little worried that the other party had poisoned the wine, and the poison might not attack in a short time.

The servant held the copper wine bottle in both hands, and the other servant placed several wine bartenders on the table.

This kind of drinking utensils were rarely used in the Han Dynasty, and the wine jue was generally used as a sacrificial drinking utensil.

The people of the Han Dynasty felt that if they used this wine to drink, they might spill their bodies.

The servant placed the bottle on the table and took the wine drawer out of the wooden box.

The bottle has a square hole at one end and an oval shape at the other.

The sake bottle is hollow and placed in the wine bottle.

The wine is taken out and it falls into the bar.

Not a single drop was spilled, and Liu Zhang had seen this kind of wine pourer in the museum.

The color of the drink is tan, and the subspace watch scans the drink.

No harmful substances have been detected, so you can drink it with confidence.

This time, Liu Zhang wore invisible headphones, and the tip of the subspace watch was that this wine tasted bad.

The wine has 16 degrees, and since the subspace watch gives a hint, then drink it with confidence

Ban Jiacuo also picked up his wine glass and made a covenant with Liu Zhang and them for drinking.

In the future, both sides strictly abide by the agreement, and if either side violates it first, it will be destroyed.

Liu Zhang: When they heard the poisonous oath they made by mistake, they hoped that they could keep their word.

The Han Dynasty will definitely abide by the agreement, and the Qiang people will no longer come to rob, and the Han Dynasty will not send troops to attack.

Liu Zhang couldn't fully believe the words of the Qiang people, and Shu County had to be on guard.

For the sake of interests, one or more parties to the agreement will always be the first to tear up the agreement.

There are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.

"When you have time to visit our territory, we have a better wine reception over there."

"You can come to the Red Marquis Country, there are delicious food and wine to entertain you, I don't know if you dare to come?"

Liu Zhang didn't want to go to the plateau area, where the air was thin and it might cause physical discomfort.

Even if Banga Cuo can order his subordinates not to harm Liu Zhang, it doesn't mean that he won't have an accident.

Banga Cuo didn't dare to go to the Red Marquis Country, he didn't know the specific location of the Red Marquis Country.

It must be very far away from the territory of the Qiang people, and he can also hear that Liu Zhang does not dare to go to the territory of the Qiang people.

Liu Zhang was not afraid of their siege, but he did not adapt to the plateau environment.

Bangatso was really afraid of being besieged by Liu Zhang's subordinates, and the situation they were afraid of was different.

The two raised their glasses and smiled, and both sides eased the embarrassment in this way.

Neither of them dared to go to each other's territory, but their thoughts were different.

In fact, those Qiang troops were more afraid, they knew that the Han army was very strong.

Although the number of people is much larger than that of the other side, look at the Han army's weapons and equipment are better than theirs.

I'm really afraid that if the two sides don't agree with each other, they will start fighting, and the Qiang side will definitely be a fiasco.

The Han army hopes to fight, and this is a good opportunity for meritorious service.

They are confident that they will be able to kill each other to the ground, and each of them will gain two enemy heads.

You can at least raise yourself to a knighthood by two levels, and those Qiang soldiers wear leather armor.

It also meets the requirements for beheading the enemy to obtain military merit, and the Han army is waiting for the order.

Obtaining a certain rank of knighthood will give you land and homestead.

Other titles are not extravagant, and one side is waiting to obtain military merits.

One side was trembling with fear, and the mentality of both sides was also different.

Of course, Gongsun Du didn't want to fight, and winning the battle might not necessarily benefit much.

If the battle is lost, the court will blame, if the leader of the Qiang people dies here.

The Qiang people living in the plateau region will surely go out to avenge their leader.

The Qiang people regarded their leader as a messenger of God, and they would only think that the leader had been taken back by God.

They will take revenge on those who hurt the chief, which is why Liu Zhang used this way to resolve the contradictions between the various ethnic groups.

It is certainly pleasant to solve it by force, but it is very troublesome to deal with the follow-up matters.

This will be very bad for him, and the conflict will be resolved by the gentlest means.

Although it takes time and effort, the effect achieved is still good.

Bangatso had the slaughtered mutton brought in him, and he waited for the negotiations to be over.

Drinking and eating meat with each other, he also hopes to make a good impression on the other party.

The two sides can not fight, try not to fight, the Qiang people have not had a good time in the past two years.

Liu Zhang also considered that the various ethnic groups in Shu County were not doing well, and would try his best to help them improve their lives during this time.

He had a lot of food in his subspace watch, and he had to find some way for the people to get it.

For example, a large amount of food was found in a cave, and everyone thought it was given by God.

The food is then distributed to the local people so that they can be fed in the coming months.

In feudal times, those rulers liked to rule over hungry people.

Let them struggle between hope and despair, so that they will be obedient.

Nor did they want the people to be literate and literate, so that it would be easier for the people to trust the rulers.

Reading and literacy is only the privilege of the rich and noble, which is a very cruel reality.

It has been a year since Liu Zhang traveled to the Han Dynasty and has been in contact with all walks of life.

At this time, the people were not doing well, most of them were illiterate.

He discovered that the common people were controlled only by local families, who were only in partnership with the local government.

Liu Zhang will handle some things in his own way, and does not seek to be famous through the ages.

At least let the people he saw no longer starve and freeze, and count it as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for himself.

Liu Zhang watched as the Qiang slaves took the cut mutton and roasted them on a wooden rack.

The slave took out the black bread from the wooden box, and when he looked at it, he felt that the taste and texture were not good.

But they can eat to their heart's content, which should be a delicacy for them.

"You will be my good friend from now on, and I promise that I will live as long as I live. We Qiang people will not be your enemy, and I hope you will also treat us as friends. ”

Bangatso spoke very sincerely, and he also recognized the situation.

Enemies of the Han Dynasty were undoubtedly self-defeating, and they entertained each other with what they thought was the best food and wine.

"This is the food you eat regularly, I can try it."

Liu Zhang looked at the black cake on the table, which was neither made of flour nor buckwheat.

"This is a cake made from a mixture of wild buckwheat and black beans, which is the grain of our Qiang territory. Please taste! ”

Liu Zhang picked up a piece of black cake and tasted it, the taste was not too unpalatable.

The taste is a bit rough and a little hard.

Liu Zhang has eaten rice, flour, fine grains, and coarse grains such as corn and mung beans.

However, the cake made of black bean flour and wild buckwheat tastes average, and it is a little choking when swallowed.

Liu Zhang still ate the black cake, and the subspace watch reminded that the cake was non-toxic and harmless.
