"Daddy Durr is back!"

The people of the Luoyun Department first saw a group of Tang troops coming, and they thought they were coming to take revenge on them, and at first there were some people who wanted to escape, but when Dur called out the names of several clansmen, they immediately made these people stop, and when they saw that it was really Dur coming back, these people were immediately ecstatic, shouting and rushing into the tribe.

After a while, several prestigious old men in the tribe greeted them, although these people had not seen Wang An, but there were many young people in the tribe who had followed Duer to Taiyuan, so they had already reported the news that Wang An had also come to the clan, and the people of the Luoyun Department also knew that Wang An had already soared, and this time he brought so many troops, which made everyone in the Luoyun Department feel a little awe.

The people of the Luoyun tribe welcomed Wang An to the largest tent in the middle of the tribe's station, and then served roast beef and mutton and mare's milk wine, and several elders and Dur sat at the table.

"Gadaha, how is the situation of the tribe now, where has the head man gone, why don't you see him come out?" As soon as Dur sat down, he immediately opened his mouth and asked one of the elders at the head. Dur was also one of the elders of the tribe, and his status was very noble, only below the leader, and the elder he asked was the second largest elder in the tribe.

Hearing that Dur had returned to the head, Gadha sighed and said: "Brother Dur, you are not in the clan during this time, so you don't know the situation of the tribe, now the life of the tribe is becoming more and more difficult, the Tang people do not trade with us, and Xue Yantuo in the north also forbids us to enter their grasslands to graze, and the grassland we occupy alone cannot feed our livestock." Now the tribe has slaughtered a lot of cattle and sheep, and the rest is not enough to eat. ”

Hear the words of Gadaha. Dur's face also showed a sad look, and Wang An also nodded. Knowing the truth of what this Gadha said, when he entered the Luoyun Department just now, he found that many people were full of food, and it was estimated that they had been hungry for a while.

At this time, another elder continued: "Our situation in Luoyun is difficult, and there are many tribes in a similar situation to ours, some time ago, our tribes spontaneously contacted, everyone sat together to discuss, see if we can think of a way to survive!" ”

After the two elders finished speaking, the others all showed remorse. looked at Wang An's eyes with a bit of pleading. If they had followed Wang An's advice and directly attached themselves to Datang, where would they have fallen to the point where they are today, but this is no wonder to others, who were overwhelmed by the victory, thinking that after destroying the Izumo Department, they would not be able to put Datang in their eyes, but they angered Datang, and now it is too late to regret it.

However, Wang An and Dur were shocked when they heard these words. I saw Wang An ask with some eagerness: "Gadaha, where is the meeting place of the chiefs, and how many people are there in these united tribes combined?" ”

Gadaha and the others didn't expect Wang An to suddenly ask this question, and they didn't know whether to answer it for a while. And Dur also asked eagerly: "Gadaha, hurry up and tell us where the leaders are, Mr. Wang has something important to look for them!" ”

Seeing that even Dur was urging. At last Gadha did not hesitate any longer, and immediately replied: "The chiefs have met on a hill ten miles from our tribe to take counsel. As for how many of these tribes combined, I don't know very well. However, there are a lot of smart tribes, there are twenty or thirty large and small, and the Luoyun Department is not the most powerful among these tribes, and several are large tribes with more than 10,000 people. ”

Hearing these news, the joy on Dür's face was even heavier, so many tribes combined, it must have exceeded 100,000 people. And Wang An was also very happy, he thought that he would contact these tribes one by one, but he didn't expect to encounter such a good opportunity just here.

However, after Dur was happy, he suddenly frowned and said: "Sir, although this is a good opportunity, but among those tribes, there are also some tribes who are very hostile to Datang, if you rush to solicit it, Sir, you may be hated by these tribes, and even unfavorable to Sir, so Mr. is still cautious, and when the head person comes back, we will secretly contact some tribes, and when it is determined that the number of people who are willing to be recruited by His Highness is large, we will find an opportunity to announce it at the alliance meeting." ”

Duer's proposal was indeed very steady, but Wang An smiled when he heard it, and said unimpressedly: "It's okay, although the people of the grassland are many unruly, but now they are all under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and there are still a large number of Tang soldiers stationed in the south, they can reach here in a few days, and they don't dare to act rashly!" ”

Wang An is not a big man, he has a very accurate judgment of the situation on the grassland, a tribe like Duer has offended the Tang Dynasty before, and a grassland overlord like Xue Yantuo does not dare to take it in, so now he has been forced into a desperate situation, as long as he puts forward the recruitment plan, he will definitely be able to win over most of the tribes, and with these people in hand, no one dares to move himself, and behind him, there is still a powerful Tang Empire.

Dur thought about it, and also felt that what Wang An said made sense, and no longer hesitated at the moment, and immediately asked Gadha to send someone to send them to the place where the head people gathered. Gadha still had some questions about this, but when Dur told Li Su's solicitation plan, Gadha and the others were all overjoyed, and they hurriedly asked people to prepare fast horses to escort Wang An and Dur.

On a low hill for ten miles, dozens of grassland Hu people sat cross-legged, these people were old and young, each of them had a bit of the breath of a superior person, and the clothes and decorations on their bodies were also very luxurious, and they knew at a glance that they were not ordinary Hu people. These are the leaders of the Alliance.

It's just that these leaders in the same alliance don't get along very well, and now there is a quarrel on the field because of one thing, and these people are divided into two factions, and the number is not many, so the two groups of people quarrel back and forth, but no one can quarrel with the other.

"The Tang people have expelled us, and they do not accept our surrender, obviously they want to use us to establish power, so it is useless to beg the Tang Dynasty again, it is better for us to gather the wealth of all the tribes and ask the Xue Yantuo Department for help again, even if they dare not take us in, but as long as they allow us to pass through his territory, then we have a way to live!" A middle-aged man with a big beard stood up and said loudly, his name was Tuji, and he was the head of the Mengsun tribe, and the Mengsun tribe was one of the four large tribes of 10,000 people in the alliance, so his words attracted many people's approval.

"Tuji, don't be delusional, Xue Yantuo doesn't dare to offend Datang at all, we have already suffered a loss last time, do you still want to give everyone's last treasure to others?" As soon as Tuji's words fell, a burly young man opposite him immediately stood up and retorted. This young leader's name is Mo Long, and he is also one of the four most powerful 10,000 people.

As soon as Mo Long's words came out, the leaders who had agreed with Tuji just now fell silent. Just a few months ago, their alliance prepared a large number of treasures and women to send to Xue Yantuo, hoping to get the protection of the other party, but they didn't expect the other party to accept the gifts, but they didn't do anything practical, which made the tribes in the alliance very angry, but no matter how angry they were, Xue Yantuo's department was extremely powerful, and it was not something they could offend at all.

Thinking of Xue Yantuo, who had no faith, Tuji was also a little depressed, and said to Mo Long angrily: "Then what do you say, the Tang Dynasty does not allow us to surrender, the Tuqishi in the west and Xue Yantuo in the north do not allow us to pass, and the south and east are controlled by the Tang Dynasty, can everyone just stay here and wait for death?" ”

After hearing this, the young Mo Long did not get angry, but pondered for a while and said: "Although the Tang people are ferocious, they are also very smart, after our tribes are united, we can gather an army of fifty or sixty thousand people, although this army cannot be compared with Xue Yantuo and other big tribes, but it is also an extremely strong force, even if the Tang people want to exterminate us, they will have to pay the corresponding price, so we might as well send a messenger to beg to the Tang Dynasty again, I believe that with our strength, it will definitely attract the attention of the Tang people, When we take the initiative to join the Tang army as a war knife for them to pacify the grassland, then the Tang people are likely to agree! ”

Mo Long's analysis is very reasonable, and the other leaders are not stupid, they all quickly understood, and they all agreed for a while, and some people even proposed to let Mo Long serve as the leader of the alliance, and then send envoys to contact the Tang people.

However, not everyone supported Mo Long, like Tuji just now, he was resolutely opposed to contact with the Tang Dynasty, after all, his tribe had lost a large number of people and livestock in the previous confrontation with the Tang people. And there are many tribes like Tuji, and they are not willing to live in the shadow of the Tang people anymore.

Tuji and Moron each had their own opinions, and the number of people who supported them was also equal, and the other two tribes of 10,000 people also supported one each, which made the two groups quarrel, and neither could convince anyone. However, among the people who quarreled, there was a dark-faced and vicious-looking leader who had not spoken, and this person was the head of the Falling Clouds Tribe, Sochel.

Sochel is in his forties this year, although he looks very vicious, but he is a person who is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, he is deaf to the quarrels of the people around him, but is thinking about Dürr's itinerary, according to if everything goes well, he should also bring the news over, but for Dürr's trip, Thornel is not too optimistic, after all, Mr. Wang has been greatly favored to their tribe several times, and it is reasonable to help them this time, plus their tribe has made such a big mistake this time, no matter how resourceful Mr. Wang is, but if he wants to save them, but it's not an easy task.

Thinking of this, Sochel sighed secretly, if Mr. Wang had been in the first place, their Luoyun Department would not have ended up like this. However, just as Sochel was thinking about his thoughts, Moron and Tuji, who were arguing on the field, invariably shifted their attention to Sochel, the strength of the Falling Cloud Department was second only to the four major Ten Thousand People's Division, if Sochel was willing to support one of them, then it was likely to break the current balance of power.
