Chapter Eighty-Six: Slightly Different

Why are most of the Northland tribes shaved or bald or other kinds of baldness, in short, a nuclear explosion post-apocalyptic hairstyle? Could it be that they think such hairstyles are cool and intimidating? Or is the aesthetics of the barbarians so unscientific?

Apparently not.

This is so because...... Louse.

When the Central Plains made pancreatic soaphorns or other cleaning things, the barbarians washed their hair as if they were suffering. Needless to say, in the summer, the dirt wraps around the hair and knots together, and when you sweat plus lice, it itches...... A broken finger won't solve the problem.

As for winter, the winter barbarians dare to wash their hair, even if they are awesome.

So in order to solve the physiological problem, they shaved their heads, and of course, in order to distinguish them from other tribes, there must be a difference in distribution.

For example, the Khitans, who shaved both sides in the middle. For example, the Omuro Wei people are all shaved and there is nothing left. For example, the Mughal Murwei people have a pinch of protective top hair in the vestibule of their heads. For example, the Goguryeo people put a circle on their heads. For example, there are many of them, some leave a handful of hair, some leave two handfuls of hair, some leave three handfuls of hair, and finally develop into a variety of strange pigtails.

In short, the development of hairstyles in tribal societies must be closely related to physiological needs and hygiene levels.

However, when the barbarians are beaten by the Central Plains, they will be exposed to some sociological problems. For example, what is ethics, what is morality, what is relationship......

Sociology was not a science, but it allowed the barbarians to evolve and learn that incest was wrong, so the whole tribal community began to evolve and introduce a concept. It's called order.

Then the barbarians established an enduring orderly society by optimizing this concept called order. This social activity is called robbery.

Last winter's snow was heavy and quite a few people died. But some tribes use China Resources brand woolen sweaters. Although these woolen sweaters are very coarse, although these woolen sweaters have a high amount of oil, although these woolen sweaters have a great smell, and although these woolen sweaters are all defective, this does not prevent tribes like the Guligan people who live near the North Sea from dying dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled.

Word of mouth and rave reviews.

In short, although Lao Zhang wanted to say that the backbone people could survive all thanks to supporting facilities such as coal stoves. But since the rumors can create profits, fuck it.

Except for woolen underwear, basically after the Khitan people were injured this winter, they made a special set of everything they could. In previous years, he could still rely on robbery to tide over the difficulties, but Zhang Gongjin was engaged in military exercises in Da Luobo all day long, and waste like the Ministry of Mischief, who had already knelt and licked, directly followed Yaowu to show off his might.

Youzhou Yingzhou is in a posture of killing me at any time if you come over to rob me, which makes the Khitan people very hard.

Finally, after the death of two or three thousand people and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, Brother Dahe knelt at the feet of Zou Guogong with a handful of snot and tears. While kowtowing, he complained: "Governor Kai'en, Du Du Kai'en-"

For two whole months, Brother Dahe watched his people die one after another. This is still the case that Brother Dahe has a certain source of supply, and it is conceivable that other tribes who are not subject to the king's transformation can be imagined. What a terrible number of casualties. Some Khitans have decided to smuggle across the Liao River and defect to Goguryeo.

If Goguryeo doesn't accept it. So they went and robbed his mother.

The Tang Dynasty didn't dare to rob it, didn't Goguryeo dare not?

In general. For the sake of his own reputation, and the imperial court has always had a tradition of disaster relief. Therefore, if you follow the old example, you can let the Khitans enter the range of Youzhou to avoid the terrifying snow disaster.

However, Wang Xiaotong discovered an open-pit coal mine.

So, what does it matter to me how many people you have died?

Back then, Wei Yunqi single-handedly borrowed 20,000 horses from Ashina Dyinggan, and then gave the Khitans a shot into the soul, plundering 40,000 men and women, and countless livestock. The woman was in half, half was given to the little brother who dyed and dried, and half Wei Yunqi got it back to the Central Plains to raise. As for the men, they were all killed.

As a result, the Sui Dynasty initially controlled the scope of activities of the Khitans, so that they did not dare to engage in social activities at will.

Then many years later, Dye Gan died, and Dye Gan's grandson Ashinash Bobi, that is, the Tuli Khan who had a good relationship with Li Dong, also died. The Khitans finally recovered, and occasionally engaged in some social practice, following the Turks to see the scenery of Hedong.

But unfortunately, this social practice was not approved by the Tang Dynasty, and Li Dong was not happy, so he sent Li Jing to be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Grassland Purge, and Zhang Gongjin was the deputy commander-in-chief.

Everything is very reasonable, although Tang Jian Tang Maoyue scolded his mother and fell out with Li Yaoshi, but this did not prevent Li Dong from dividing a large piece of land in the eastern grassland area and handing it over to his brother-in-law Zhang Gongjin to take care of.

And Zhang Gongjin's wife, the princess Langya, she is more powerful than Wei Yunqi.

Of course, I finally look forward to Princess Langya coming home to give birth, and life can become happy again, and the Khitan people are singing and dancing, imagining the future.

What I never expected was that I encountered a once-in-a-century snowstorm. Not to mention the Khitans, it is the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, if it weren't for the coal stove burning blankets, wrapped in iron plates, and eating high-quality flour, it is estimated that the richest man in Chang'an would be the first special chief executive to die on the grassland.

Normally, the people of the Central Plains are friendly, so the Khitan leader Dahe Cave Brother went to Zhang Dudu in line with the good wish of friendship between the two ethnic groups and working together to tide over the difficulties.

However, there is no use for eggs, the hairstyle is different, and it is obvious that the worldview and values are different, and there is nothing to talk about.

The Khitan people did not avoid the heavy snowstorm, and the Youzhou Army Jizhou Army had already obtained the tacit understanding of Zhang Dudu, if anyone doesn't give me Zhang someone face, then don't blame Lao Tzu for not giving face.

Which of the twelve guards doesn't have an old man and brother?!

Everyone is mixed in the military system, can Zhang Dudu, a big leader like Zuo Xiaowei, be offended?

So the five border states unified their thinking: whoever even let a Khitan dog cross the border, he would strip naked and learn to climb in the snow!

Soon, the Khitans froze to death a thousand people.

Then, another thousand people froze to death.

The snow disaster was very severe, and the prefectures of Hebei Province also began to provide relief, so the reason is even more sufficient. It is resolute not to let the Khitans come over to distribute the grain.

So the Khitans no longer died because of the cold.

Soon, the Khitans starved to death a thousand people.

Then. A thousand more starved to death......

The leaders of the tribes were heartbroken and decided to fight with the Tang Dynasty. Then Zhang Gongjin took the elite to start the three-state exercise. Su Lie, who had gone to the prairie to see, was even more energetic, and felt that his official functions could not be raised by half a level, so he fell on the heads of the Khitans.

However, it is disappointing that Brother Dahe endured the six-part split, and the younger brothers endured it, and resolutely did not make a move towards the Tang Dynasty.

It was a desperate winter, and after the six divisions were divided, the four divisions decided to go east to the east of the Liao River, and the Tang Dynasty people were not easy to rob. Aren't Goguryeo people still easy to grab? The Goguryeo people are not easy to rob, can they continue to rob the people of the Jin?

In short, the social practice of the Khitan people, after a large number of deaths caused by cold and hunger, had to change the company and change the environment.

However, what continues to be disappointing is that no matter how much Brother Dahe begged Zhang Gongjin for mercy, Zhang Dudu became extremely cold-blooded in the matter of the open-pit coal mine.

I don't know anything else, but Zhang Gongjin understands a small data from Zhang De. That is, it takes a lot of people, many, many people to dig coal. So, a healthy and strong Khitan. It's not what Zhang Gongjin needs. It's not what the imperial court needs. It is not even what His Majesty the Emperor needs.

Only the Khitan, which is sparsely populated and falling apart, is a good Khitan.

Besides, natural disasters. Mind me Zhang Gong's bird business?! I don't want to it either!

Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and natural disasters are such a thing. No one wants to see it. Zhang Gongjin resolutely implemented the established strategy, and Brother Dahe couldn't. Just howling and shouting "Heaven destroys the Khitan".

However, at this time, the younger brother of the Messenger of Justice appeared.

"Food, it's not non-negotiable."

Zhang De was at the Zhanghe Wharf and served a cup of good tea to the messenger of Dahe Cave Brother. Good tea to relieve greasy, just now I had a meal with the Khitan envoy, but the envoy had a slightly larger appetite, and he actually ate half a sheep, and he was not afraid of choking to death.

"Zhang Gong! Zhang Gong must be merciful! Be sure to save us! Now, we've started eating lambs. Even the calves were eaten. Eat everything you can. If there is nothing to eat, I'm afraid I'll have to eat peopleβ€”"

The eldest grandson Chong, who was accompanying him, sneered, leaned sideways and whispered next to Zhang De: "Goguryeo Wuclumsy sent someone to spread the news, and last month, someone ate people......

Zhang De's body trembled, but he quickly returned to normal, continued to drink tea, and then said, "How much money can your ministry take out to buy food now?" ”

The envoy was stunned: "We have no money, and even our weapons have been sold to the Goguryeo people in exchange for food." ”

"This is difficult, you have no money, no cattle and sheep, although there is a lot of grain, but you are not picked." Zhang De turned the cup, his eyes fell on the tea leaves in the teacup, and said leisurely, "In this way, think about it again, what else can be exchanged for food, such a big family, you can't have nothing." ”

The envoy was stunned for a long time, and was about to call out, but saw Zhang De and Changsun Chong talking and laughing and leaving.

Three days later, the Khitans took their horses that had not yet died to the north of Danzhou to trade.

For a time, the north entrance was extremely lively. In addition to the war horse market, there is also a market, which is even more lively.

"Khitan'er, what is the price of your sons and daughters?"

"My son's grain is fifty stones, and he wants beans and rice. Sixty stones of brown rice for the female baby. ”

"It's expensive."

"My son is obedient! Girl...... Girl ......"

"It's expensive."

Zhang De didn't go to Beikou, but Changsun Chong went with great interest to experience for a while what is called the weak and the strong, and what is called the incompetence of the weak state.

The cruel sociology made the eldest grandson Chong silent for two days, and then asked Zhang De: ", the Khitan people sell their sons and daughters, that's because they have no way to live." In the Central Plains of the former Sui Dynasty, the families who couldn't survive were also selling their sons and daughters. It can be seen that people do not distinguish between high and low, but only 'seek to live'. ”

Lao Zhang didn't speak, and pointed to an old man with vegetables on the road, who carried a burden on his shoulders, with a basket at each end, and a child in each basket. On one side is a little lang, and on the other side is a girl.

"What the hell do you mean?"

The eldest grandson was puzzled.

Zhang De rode on horseback and shouted at the old man: "Old man, are you selling the little girl in your burden?" ”

The old man was stunned when he saw the angry horse in fresh clothes, and then showed a smile: "Sell, sell." ”

The eldest grandson frowned slightly, his face showing disdain.

Zhang De was not in a hurry: "What price?" ”

"It's cheap, a thousand taels of gold and ten thousand stones of rice, Lang Jun took the golden rice grain, and I will give it to Lang Jun for my children."

When the eldest grandson heard this, he was stunned.

The old man had already smiled and looked angry, just waiting for the two gentlemen to fight for their lives if they robbed someone. Unexpectedly, Zhang De laughed and arched his hand: "Old man, where are you cheap, it is obvious that the baby is reluctant to sell at home." Forget it, if a gentleman doesn't take away people's favors, let's leave it at that. ”

", this ......"

The two rode on horseback and walked slowly. After a while, Zhang Decai turned his head to look at Changsun Chong: "Brother Boshu, can you see 'survival'?" ”

The eldest grandson Chong was silent for a while, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, you Zhang Caozhi, I am taught!" (To be continued.) )
