., the fastest update struggles in the latest chapter of the Tang Dynasty!

This sentence can be described as the bottom of the kettle!

The barbarians produce frosting for sale, and if they can't sell it, all Cui Geng's plans will be in the air.

Meng Zechang said very happily: "Yes, the enmity between the Han and us barbarians is as deep as the sea. What if people don't want to buy our frosting? ”

Unexpectedly, Cui Geng replied unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Lord Meng, this Han people don't buy it, but there are Tubo people, Nanzhao people, and Tianzhu people who buy it." My Eight Immortals Department is weak and has too few people, so I can only trade with the Han people. But I'm a big deal, so I can do business with other countries. ”

After a pause, Cui Geng continued: "In fact, this ghost master is more worried about buying than selling. ”

"What? Problems with buying? ”

"Exactly. We've made money from the frosting business, so we have to spend it, right? However, Nanzhao is not much richer than us. There are no good things in Tibet, and Tianzhu is too far away. In the end, our barbarians still have to buy things from the Han people. ”

"That's right!" The person who was called out by Meng Zechang finally found his way and said, "Everyone has earned money but can't spend it, isn't that a waste of work?" So, your idea is a completely bad idea. ”

"That's not the case."

Cui Geng's face was serious, and he said to everyone: "Lu Mouming doesn't do dark things, so I'll give you a bottom here." If I am a barbarian king, I will bow down to the Tang Dynasty and live in harmony with the Tang Dynasty! As long as they allow us to trade freely, we barbarians will never betray! ”

Cui Geng thought for a long time about how to deal with the relationship between the Han and the barbarians.

In the end, he gave up the tempting idea of changing the land and returning to the stream, because under the conditions of this era, the Han people could not maintain much population here, and it was really impossible to change the land and return to the stream.

As long as you strengthen the ties between the two sides and keep the peace, you will be considered a great merit.

Now Cui Geng said this, not only to deal with the middle-aged man, but also to count it as his political declaration.

To put it bluntly, the enmity between the Han and the barbarians is as deep as the sea, and it is impossible to live in harmony, which is pure nonsense. If this is true, how can there be so many people whose ancestors are Han Chinese and have become the ghost masters of the barbarians? In fact, there are quite a few feuds between the barbarians, which are much greater than the Han and their contradictions.

As soon as this statement comes out, there are pros and cons.

For small tribes, there is no benefit from opposing the Tang Dynasty, and they have to pay people to fight against the Tang Dynasty. It would certainly be a good idea to return to the previous state of bondage and sell sugar cane for money.

But for the three major tribes, they all have the intention of unifying the barbarians and becoming a country of their own, and they immediately regard Cui Geng as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

The middle-aged man who was embarrassed by Cui Geng just now was furious and said, "My barbarian is finally self-reliant, but you want to be a vassal to the Tang people, what is your intention?" ”

"Self-reliance?" Cui Geng sneered: "That's a nice thing to say, let me ask you, if the Tang people send troops to suppress it, can my barbarians really withstand it?" Don't forget, the new Jiannan Dao pacification envoy Cui Geng is a famous general in the world, and even the Khitan Rebellion has been pacified! ”

In the concept of people in this era, there is a general division of strength for the feudal states around the Tang Dynasty.

The Tibetans and Turks tied for the first place, followed by the Silla Fusang, followed by the Khitan, Xi, and other ethnic groups...... In the end, the penultimate is the so-called "Southwest Yi", that is, these barbarians in front of Cui Geng, and finally the wingmen in the southeast.

These barbarian ghost masters are well aware of this.

Hearing Cui Geng say this, if everyone wants to say that they are not afraid, of course it is false. Many small tribes have become more and more determined to support Cui Geng as the barbarian king.

But Shi Long said loudly: "It is true that Cui Geng is not easy to mess with, and Datang is even more invincible. However, I, the barbarians, are not fighting the Tang Dynasty alone. ”

"You mean Nanzhao and Tibet?"

"Not bad. Sheng Luopi, the lord of Nanzhao, has married his two daughters, Pi Yanfeng and Pi Yanhuang, to two of his brothers, Shibao and Shihu. If I am the barbarian king, my barbarian gang and Nanzhao are the country of brothers, and they will fight against the Tang Dynasty together! Isn't this much better than you are a vassal to the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Wait......" Cui Geng frowned and interrupted: "You said that the two daughters of Sheng Luopi, the lord of Nanzhao, one is called Pi Yanfeng and the other is called Pi Yanhuang, why are they completely different surnames?" Could it be that someone randomly found two women to fool you, right? ”

"How is that possible?" Fu Shilong explained: "The customs of the Nanzhao people are different from those of the Han and us barbarians, they do not have surnames, and they practice a father-son (father-daughter) joint name system. That is, the child takes the last word of the father's name as the first word of the name. ”

"I see."

The Tang Dynasty divided all the non-Han people on the southwest border into white barbarians and black barbarians, but the barbarians who were closer to the Han people were greatly influenced by the Han people, resulting in the "ghost master system". They don't regard the people in the land of the Six Edicts as the same race, and in fact, they are indeed not the same race, so they can only say that the division of the Han people is too rough and unscientific.

Cui Geng thought for a moment and continued: "I heard that our barbarian army raised troops and obtained the help of the Tubo people, so what do you say? ”

Meng Ze, the ghost master of the Meng tribe, often said: "It is my Meng tribe and the Qianluo tribe that are in contact with Tubo, and Tubo is also willing to form a brotherly country with my barbarians." ”

Cui Geng raised his eyebrows and said, "So...... If a certain is not a barbarian king, the new barbarian king can form a brotherly country with Tubo and Nanzhao to fight against the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Exactly!"

"Hmph, you're really wishful thinking." Cui Geng stretched out his hand and pointed at the planner, "Dare to ask the master of the ghost, do you think you are Haotian's own son?" ”

Haotian's own son? Isn't that the Son of Heaven? No matter how arrogant the dragon is, he won't think so.

He shook his head and said, "This ...... Probably not, right? But ......"

"Alright, it's nothing." Cui Geng waved his hand impatiently, and said in a strange manner: "Since you are not Haotian's own son, why did Nanzhao want to wash his noble daughter in vain and give it to your brother?" Why do you want to send troops to help you fight against Datang? ”

"This ...... Maybe people also feel the threat of Datang...... To be with us in the same hatred, this ...... This one...... Hatred of the enemy! ”

"Fart!" Cui Geng said unceremoniously: "Datang's strategy has always been to unite the six edicts against Tubo, and it has never changed. As long as Tubo is still there, he's a cold fart! I'm afraid that Nanzhao's real purpose is to use this as an opportunity to slowly annex our barbarian gang! ”

Cui Geng's words are not alarmist.

In historical records, Nanzhao first married his daughters and instigated them to launch a rebellion. After the Ministry of Planning and Datang fought, they showed favor to Datang, claiming that they could help Datang quell the chaos.

In the last battle, Datang and Nanzhao attacked from both sides, and the planing department was destroyed, but its old land fell into the hands of Nanzhao and became a big trouble for Datang.

Now that Cui Geng has pointed out this possibility, it is difficult to refute it in both emotion and reason, and Shi Shilong's heart is terrified.

Meng Zechang said: "Even if Nanzhao is not well-intentioned, Tubo and Datang are at war again and again. Let's gang up with Tibet, it's not wrong, right? ”
