"Where should my Huangshan Village go in the future?"

After listening to Li Yao's reserved story, Qi Daishuang and An Hongyu were both aware of it. An Hongyu was still pondering, but Qi Daishuang couldn't wait to speak.

Qi Dai was born in troubled times. He first followed his father and grandfather through hardships, and then became the leader of the Ten Thousand People's Village. It has been more than three years since then, and his knowledge is far beyond the reach of an ordinary woman.

She knew very well that Li Yao taught people to impersonate the Tang army to attack and kill the Turks. Although Huangshanzhai did not directly participate, it was difficult to get rid of the relationship.

Because she had had more than once dealing with Wuqi, she still had a certain understanding of her character. Wuqi was a calculating person. After escaping back, she would definitely blame a considerable amount of the blame on Huangshanzhai.

What's more, those who traveled with Wuqi this time were all elite warriors of the Langshan tribe, and they were killed dozens of times in one fell swoop. Even the Turks thought it was done by the Tang army, how could Bu Lishe, who was known for his cruelty and bloodthirsty, swallow this anger? I am afraid that if the Langshan tribe has the opportunity to invade Ganliang in the future, they will inevitably use Huangshan village to vent their hatred.

Li Yao was dry and said, picking up the kettle and filling some water, clearing his throat, and then he said seriously: "You have to change your identity and give Huangshanzhai a name."

Identity? Name?

Qi Daishuang was stunned. Since she met Li Yao, she has always claimed to be smart, and she feels that she is not smart enough and often can't keep up with the other party's ideas.

She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "This... Daishuang doesn't understand, please tell me in detail."

Li Yao said slowly: "You must send envoys to Beijing to pay tribute and submit to the court in the name of the tribe leader who led his troops to leave the Turkic Khanate. The name of the village should be renamed the "Honggu Tribe" according to the customs of the nomadic tribes. In this way, the court will, after accepting you, grant you a hereditary official position, and place the area of ​​the northern foot of Longshou Mountain, including Honggu, and Yanzhi Mountain where Huangshan Village is located, into a banished state."

At this time, the Li Tang Dynasty basically continued the former Sui Dynasty's loose policy of banning ethnic minorities on the border. Any nomadic tribe that surrendered would not only give them many benefits in people's livelihood, but also the local military, political and judicial power was still in the hands of the tribe leaders. Except for the title of the imperial court, all systems and structures were not changed.

Since ancient times, the people of China have been proud of the descendants of Yan and Huang. Therefore, when Qi Daishuang heard it, he waved his hands and said without thinking: "No, this is not possible! As the daughter of the Han family, how can Daishuang be called a female chief of the Hu people? What's more, even if I am willing to listen to you, it may be difficult to get the support of most people in this village."

An Hongyu teased: "Yanzhihu, when you enter, you graze, fish and hunt, and when you go, you rob and plunder. How can you live like a Han man? In my opinion, you deserve it as a Hu chief."

"you……"

When An Hongyu said this in person, Qi Daishuang's face turned red immediately, but she only spit out one word, and she didn't know how to continue.

Because she knew that what the other party said was undisputed facts, she could not refute them at all.

Li Yao said: "If you continue to occupy Yanzhi Mountain in the name of Huangshan Village, if the Turks enter Hexi from other places and fight to Yanzhi Mountain, can you still maintain your home based on your current strength?"

Qi Daishuang shook her head. She investigated clearly. The Turkic Langshan tribe commanded more than 20,000 tents and controlled the strings to 30,000 horses and 40,000 horses. Even if both men and women in Huangshan Village were soldiers, there were less than 5,000 people in the battle. Once the opponent attacked with all his strength, even if they had no foreign troops to support him, it would be the end of the destruction of the village.

Li Yao said again: "Have you considered leading the crowd to surrender to Tang with your current identity?"

Qi Daishuang smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just about considering it. I have made it three times in the past three years, but every time it will be opposed by most people."

An Hongyu snorted heavily and sneered: "Because these people are self-aware, they are not well-off from their origins, and they have developed a habit that is the same as Rongdi. Do you teach them how to be good people under the government?"

Qi Dai lowered his head and said nothing.

Although she felt extremely unhappy, she had to admit that it was difficult for her, including herself, to adapt to the strict laws and hierarchical society.

Li Yaosurong said: "Daishuang, now that we have reached this point, don't you support it or not, do you have any other ways to choose from?"

Qi Dai's body froze slightly, shook his head dejectedly, then sighed as if he had accepted his fate, and said, "Daishuang understands."

She pondered for a moment and said, "I just don't know how to pay tribute to the court. Whether Daishuang needs to go to Beijing personally, I also ask Mingzhen for advice."

Li Yao smiled and said, "You don't have to do anything. You just need to form a mission and choose two confidants who are cautious and proficient in Turkic language as the main ones. The deputy envoys, all wearing nomadic clothes, and then carrying hundreds of good horses and some rare beasts. But the most important tribute is of course not these..."

Li Yao said this and handed An Hongyu a look. An Hongyu clapped her hands. Soon four big men carried two big boxes in, and then retreated.

Qi Daishuang understood something vaguely, and stood up and opened it one by one. His eyes couldn't help but shrink. He saw a box full of lime-covered heads, while the other box was swallowed by the wolf heads and shoulders worn by Turkic warriors.

Qi Daishuang was stunned for a while, and Fang Dongrong said, "Mingzhen, Hongyu, why do you help me like this?"

An Hongyu thrust his chest slightly and said proudly: "I just don't want to see you continue to disturb the people. I don't ask you to repay anything. You just need to pay back the 10,000 stones of grain that stolen from my family, with the capital and the profit. Of course, we can come down to calculate the account slowly."

Qi Daishuang made promises again and again, and then heard Li Yao say, "I don't ask for anything in return, I just hope that you can guard this Red Valley well, no matter how the world changes, I will never betray China."

"Your request is that simple?"

Qi Daishuang and An Hongyu couldn't help but scream.

Li Yao nodded and said, "Yes, but your 'Honggu tribe' is facing the powerful grassland Khanate, but they are not simple at all."

Then, she suddenly pointed to the hideous heads in the box and said to Qi Daishuang seriously: "The terrain of Hong Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is far superior to many famous passes in the world. Only 500 people need to guard the pass in the valley, and even a hundred thousand troops are difficult to break through. Moreover, the land north of Hong Valley is barren and it is difficult to maintain the supply of the army for a long time. If you even lose it here, it is better to commit suicide collectively to thank the world."

Li Yao was sitting in the table, but she exuded a powerful aura while she was speaking. Qi Daishuang suddenly felt like she was being looked down upon. She couldn't help but give a big gift and said respectfully: "Daishuang has remembered Mingzhen's words today. I will never dare to forget them forever!"

Li Yao smiled meaningfully and said, "It is far from enough to rely on your life alone. You must also teach people to write it into the tribe of the 'Honggu Tribe', so that your descendants can remember it."
