Sitting in the shed to accept the greetings of the elders of the small tribe, this made the sun full of pride, as long as he nodded, it was a return salute, Zhang Baoxiang came, there was no need to get up, he also owed two or three cylinders of marmot oil at home, I met it today, just to mention, this is specially ordered by the husband, remember to come back when I see it.

"Dear Mrs. Dusk, please have pity on the poor Yudu clan, this year's pasture is not growing well, there are many places to see the land, the cattle and sheep are so thin that they can barely survive this winter, we have prepared a gift for the Khan, but, the old men of the border army want fifty cows, five hundred sheep, you know, the young people of the Yudu tribe have died in the war a few years ago, and only the old and weak are left in the clan, please help us say good things for the sake of the great god Tengger, The great god Tengger will definitely bless the lady with eternal youth and beauty. "How did an old shepherd, who was so thin that he almost had a handful of bones, prostrate himself under the platform, begging that Sunset, that old man knew that Sunset, a very wise elder, how did he become like this?

"Wise Elder, the Yudu clan is the closest tribe to the gods, why did they fall to such a point, could it be that the people in the clan have become lazy people? You're so thin, why don't you send someone who is fatter? This year's rain was plentiful, and last winter was not plagued, so it was a good year, but you say your tribe is starving, how can I believe it? “

"Beautiful lady, the Yudu clan is not a lazy man, there is no young man in the clan who can go out to graze, the people who can use knives and horses have all died in the white wolf pile, and the only women and children are left, and the great god Tengger has not given us a chance to recuperate. The heavy tribute really took our breath away. Please, ma'am. Say two kind words for us and save us the extra burden. Even if I exchange my old life, I am willing. ”

Listening to what the elders of the Yudu clan said miserably, that day twilight couldn't help but touch the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, once there is no youth on the grassland, the remaining old and weak will not be able to live, God bless, fortunately there has been no white disaster or drought in the past two years, otherwise. The people of the Yudu tribe will definitely starve to death on the grassland, this situation has existed before, and it is not uncommon.

"I will help you say good things, but there is absolutely no possibility of all of them being exempted, the people in the army are not easy to talk to, once the people of the Governor's Mansion cancel your grassland quota, it will be when you are in great trouble, even if you can survive this year, what about next year? And the year after? There will always be a day when you can't bear it. What will you do then? ”

That day and twilight had long wanted to annex the Yudu tribe, a tribe full of old and weak, but controlled the upper reaches of their own pasture, where there was a large area of fertile pasture. Twilight had already gone to see it several times, dreaming of driving her cattle and sheep there to graze.

The elder lay on the ground and wept, it was a strange circle that could not be solved. That day twilight was telling the truth, and his own tribe couldn't even survive today. Not to mention the next year, listen to the lady. As if there was a solution to it, he quickly stood up and asked for advice from that sunset.

When the words of the annexation of the people were said in person, the Yun family's chief butler, Yun Jiu, walked out from behind the sunset with a smile, and helped the elder to drink milk tea in the tent, eat oil cakes, and discuss the matter of receiving the entire Yudu clan by the way.

Miss Yundui rode a big dog, wearing leather armor, and brandished her cork gun in the way of Zhang Baoxiang's inevitable passage and shouted: "Come and get a name, and the Pontus Governor will not kill the nameless people under the knife." ”

Zhang Baoxiang's team laughed all of a sudden, a pink fat girl rode on a big dog with a long tongue and yelled at herself, it was really a rare spectacle, just look at the girl's full body of the Tang Dynasty girl's clothes to know that it was not an ordinary child, the herdsman's child dared to do this, and had already been trampled into a pulp by the war horse, the hair ornament on the two bags on the head was either inlaid with gold or silver, and the collar on the dog's neck was inlaid with gems. The officers and men in the army all knew that the chief manager Hou Junji had a headache for this girl to the bone, where did he dare to offend.

Zhang Baoxiang lay on the horseback, lowered his head and said loudly with a smile: "I am the acting governor Zhang Baoxiang is also, come to the common name!" ”

The little girl was just about to open her mouth to say, but the eunuch took the little girl off the dog, bowed to Zhang Baoxiang and said: "The metropolitan governor is smiling, the twilight girl is messing around, delaying the general's trip, the lady is already waiting in the shed in front, the horse has already arrived, just waiting for the general to arrive." ”

Zhang Baoxiang nodded with a smile, took off a very gorgeous knife from his body, and handed it to the eunuch: "I am an old acquaintance with Yunhou, and I see my niece today, a small gift, don't dislike it." The eunuch took it with both hands, and did not dare to resign, this is the minimum etiquette.

Seeing the eunuch holding the girl and retreating to the side of the road, Zhang Baoxiang shook the reins and went straight to the wooden shed.

Yun Du was bored riding a big dog, following the eunuch grandmother's side, although the day is the day of tribute, but also a day of great exchange of herdsmen on the grassland, copper money, silver coins are not easy to make here, the best thing to make is the iron pot, spirits, and tea, tea just appeared in the grassland, it immediately became popular, two years, the Yun family made zuò tea bricks, has become the most important material, the herdsmen who drank milk tea, all think that tea is a treasure given by the gods, after drinking, Many of the shepherd's physical problems were cured without medicine, and now although they are not many, they are more precious, and it is not uncommon for a small tea brick to be exchanged for a horse.

In the tent of the Tubo people, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the felt, holding a tea brick in his hand and flipping it back and forth several times before putting down the tea brick in his hand, a Tubo girl with a red face poured out a bowl of milk tea from a copper kettle, prostrate and held it to the middle-aged man, and then put his head on the grass and did not dare to move.

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and tasted it, the milky fragrance was mixed with a faint bitter taste, but the aftertaste was extremely long, he had not drunk tea, as the great minister of Tubo, as long as the good things in the Central Plains, there would be some soon, the most fearless person in the world is a businessman, Lu Dongzan put down the tea bowl, this time he went to Chang'an, just wanted to go to Chang'an for his own Zampu, Songtsan Gampo went to Chang'an to ask for relatives.

Two years ago, the leaders of Tubo instigated Zampu to attack Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty and seize Dangqiang and Bailanqiang, but after hearing that the Tang Dynasty had pacified Gaochang and other twelve countries in the first war, they retreated to the plateau, and the strong military strength of the Tang Dynasty made the Tubo people frightened. In addition, the fiasco of Fangzhou a long time ago made the memory of the Tubo people still fresh.

Seeing that the prestige of Tian Khan has resounded throughout the world, Tubo as a neighbor can not be quietly watched anyway, and now Tuyuhun has become a vassal land of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo sleeps restlessly, and the food is not sweet, under the construction of the Great Xianglu Dongzan, he thought of a good way to kiss.

Originally, Lu Dongzan took the Shu Road from Songzhou to Guanzhong to take the most convenient and fast, but Lu Dongzan wanted to see how powerful the Tang Dynasty was to control the grassland, so he walked to Yin Mountain, and happened to meet Nairi, which is a secret observation of how the Tang Dynasty controls the grassland tribes, which is the best perspective. There are still people in front of me who are lamenting and crying, why is it that now they are smiling in an instant, and the color of sorrow is gone, is it possible that the Tian Khan of the Tang Dynasty will not levy this year's tribute? This is impossible, the system must be complied with when it is formed, and only by abiding by the system for a long time can a habit be formed, and the superiors of the Tang Dynasty will not fail to understand these truths.

In order to find out these things, Lu Dongzan specially sent his entourage to inquire what was going on, and now he was sitting alone in the summer cloth tent, blowing the cool breeze, feeling very comfortable, and he couldn't bear the heat on the plain.

A little chubby girl poked her head into the tent, puffed out her cheeks and looked at Lu Dongzan angrily, which aroused Lu Dongzan's curiosity, beckoned to the little girl, motioned for her to come over, and pointed to the cheese and mutton on the table.

I thought that the little girl would run away, but who knew that the little girl actually lifted the curtain and entered the tent with a huge Tibetan mastiff, and the maid lying on the ground trembled with fright, it was a very vicious big dog.

Lu Dongzan threw the mutton on the table to the big dog, who would have thought that the big dog would not look at it, and loyally guarded the back of the little girl.

"Wangcai won't eat your mutton, return Danzhu's wife and son to him, or I will want Wangcai to bite you." The little girl said fiercely to Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan is also a well-known hero in Tibet, where would he look at a dog in his eyes, he has killed several tigers, a big dog, and he can't attract his attention,

"Who is Danju? Who snatched his wife and children? Lu Dongzan leaned down and asked Yundui with a smile.

"Danzhu is my dog slave, I promised to help him get his wife and children back for him, I Yundui said to do it, hurry up and send people over, otherwise Wangcai's big mouth will bite you."

Lu Dongzan picked up the tea bowl and drank the milk tea, after drinking the milk tea, he grabbed the small silver bowl in his hand and pinched it, Yun Du watched the silver bowl deform in his hand, and finally turned into a piece of silver pimple, looked at Lu Dongzan in surprise, and then looked at Wangcai around him, and felt that Wangcai couldn't beat this Tubo person, so he raised his throat and shouted: "Grandpa Sun, Grandpa Liu, come and help, someone is bullying me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two sturdy old men walked in from outside the tent, and the old grandson who was beating his head looked up at Lu Dongzan, and couldn't help but gasp, and the sensitive feeling forged by his iron-blooded career for many years told him that the person in front of him was a master, a very powerful master.

Lu Dongzan threw away the silver bump in his hand and slowly asked Lao Sun: "Whose noble daughter is this?" (To be continued......)
