Cui Geng smiled coldly and said: "An alliance with Tubo is of course more reliable than an alliance with Nanzhao, but it is also a limited amount of goodness. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The best consequence of our alliance with Tibet is nothing more than the success of the country. But among my barbarian gangs, the customs are different, and even the language has to be understood by Chinese. Alone~Establishing a country, apart from the benefits to the barbarian king and his tribes, what are the benefits to other tribes? ”

Dong Lai, the ghost master of the Sand Department, echoed: "Yes, the barbarian gang is not only meaningless, but also makes everyone fall into the sword soldiers forever. But if you are a minister to the Tang Dynasty, you can not only live a peaceful life, but also exchange sugarcane for money, how to choose, then do you still need to ask? ”

Meng often retorted: "How can it be so simple? Have you forgotten how Li Zhigu did it in the first place? The Tang people's heart to change the land and return to the stream, but it has never stopped. ”

Cui Geng said: "The Tang people want to change the land and return to the stream, do the Tubo people have no intention of plotting against us?" If Tubo levied troops and taxes on various ministries in the name of fighting against the Tang Dynasty, would everyone listen to it? ”

……

When it comes to this topic, it is purely a mouthpiece, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and there is no way to distinguish the winner from the loser.

After arguing for a while, Ganda, the ghost lord of the Qianluo Luo Department, said in a round: "The Tang Dynasty and Tubo are not good things, which side to take refuge into, let's see who is the barbarian king, right?" I wonder what you two think? ”

Before coming, Cui Geng had already inquired clearly.

This is the promotion of the barbarian king, not one vote for one ghost master, but one vote for the small ghost master, ten votes for the big ghost master, and one hundred votes for the ghost master.

In the end, whoever gets the most votes is the barbarian king.

Such a system, of course, is the biggest chance of winning for the three major tribes. In addition, this became a barbarian king, just in name. The people of your small tribe don't have much strength, even if you become a barbarian king, everyone doesn't listen to you, what can you do? Therefore, the ghost masters of ordinary small tribes will not compete for the position of this barbarian king.

Now that he has been born, he is a freak.

Cui Geng said: "Okay, just follow what the ghost master said." It's just that...... When will this barbarian king begin? ”

"How about half a month later?"

"Yes."

The other ghost masters didn't have any opinions, and the official date of the Barbarian King's Association was set.

Cui Geng is happy to give Qianganda this face, first, this quarrel is destined to have no result. On the other hand, the Gananda is the only one of the three major tribes worth fighting for.

The forces of the Ministry of Planning and the Ministry of Meng were huge, and from the Han Dynasty to the present, they repeatedly launched rebellions. Cui Geng believed that they would never surrender voluntarily before the imperial army pressed the border.

However, the Qianluo tribe is different, don't look at the ghost master of its tribe is not the Han people, but it is the only big tribe that takes the initiative to pay taxes to the Tang Dynasty. This attitude is precious, which shows that they are truly obedient to the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he has always been more polite to Qianganda, and he must give face if he can give it.

But just when everyone was about to go back to their respective homes to find their mothers, suddenly Yang Jiao's voice sounded and said, "This ...... Ghost Lord Lu, have you forgotten something? ”

"What's the matter?"

"As the saying goes, one hand pays and the other hand delivers. You have given 400,000 yuan to Ghost Master Meng, so ...... But he was only handed over to the slave family. ”

Meng Zechang was reluctant to make extraneous branches, and said, "No problem, the Han slaves in the city all belong to the ghost master of Lu." Come, bring all the Han slaves in the city. ”

"Yes."

Yaozhou City is not big, and the kung fu is not big, so the barbarians brought a group of ragged Han people to Cui Geng.

Among them, there are more than 200 men and more than 40 women.

Cui Geng said: "Okay, very good. The Han people are ingenious, and with so many people joining, the ghost master's frosting workshop is about to flourish. ”

"Congratulations to the Ghost Lord Lu, congratulations to the Ghost Lord Lu."

The frosting workshop is well opened, which is good for everyone, and the ghost masters have said some happy words.

But at this moment, Yang Jiao spoke very ruinly, and said, "Ghost Master Lu, you have not been deceived by Ghost Master Meng, and Han Nu has not returned it?" ”

"And Hannu?" Meng Zechang was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head suddenly, and suddenly realized: "You mean your husband Guo Zhongxiang?" This is not the owner's own. Someone come, bring the surname Guo. ”

"Yes."

The effort was not great, and the brute soldiers brought a young man in his twenties. He walked with a limp, and there were several blood marks on his face, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.

It seems that this is Yang Jiao's husband, Guo Yuanzhen's cousin Guo Zhongxiang.

Meng Zechang laughed and said: "Guo boy, congratulations, you have married a good wife!" ”

"What do you mean?" Guo Zhongxiang's complexion changed suddenly.

Meng Zechang pointed at Cui Geng and said, "Your wife has already promised Ghost Master Lu, as long as Ghost Lord Lu lets you go back to Datang, she will take whatever Ghost Lord Lu wants." Wouldn't that be a good thing for you? ”

"You ......"

Guo Zhongxiang's face was as red as blood, and he looked at Yang Jiao and said, "What he said is true?" ”

Yang Jiao lowered her head and said, "There is no way to be a concubine, husband...... Let's break off today, you go home and marry another." ”

As he spoke, two lines of tears welled up.

"Nope! Is my surname Guo a man who sells his wife to survive? Guo Zhongxiang roared angrily: "You don't promise him...... I'd rather die than be a thief! ”

"Husband said and laughed, you are the only son in your family, how can the concubine watch you die?"

After speaking, she wiped away the tears on her face, stiffened her neck, and said firmly: "Come on, bring this slave to the room Li, don't spoil the interest of my ghost master." ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

The thirty-seven little ghost masters don't know Cui Geng's true thoughts about Yang Jiao, they only know that Cui Geng bought this woman with 300,000 yuan.

Seeing that this self-proclaimed hostess, he hurriedly responded as if he was flattering.

After Guo Zhongxiang was taken away, Yang Jiaolian walked to Cui Geng's approach, and said in a greasy voice: "Ghost master, in addition to Guo Zhongxiang, there is also a Han slave, and the ghost master Meng has not handed it over." ”

Meng Zechang was stunned at that time, and said angrily: "Is Lao Tzu a person who doesn't talk and loves to take advantage of small advantages?" Who understands what you said, which Han slave I haven't handed over? ”

Yang Jiao stretched out her hand and said, "It's him!" ”
