The bald man immediately stood up and said, "Sir, I don't know how many people in the clan want to stay here."
"But I know that if we continue to look for pasture, we will either do what the Wei people did and cross the Dadou Valley."
"But on the other side of Dadou Bagou, it is still the territory of the Wei people, and it may become the territory of the Han people in the future. So what difference does it make whether we leave or not?"
"But if we don't do the big fight to pull out the valley, we will have no choice but to go west over the mountains like those miscellaneous barbarians and become savages worse than the Qiang Hu in Liangzhou."
"No matter which path we choose, it won't be better than staying here."
When the bald man heard these words, he sat down again with some dejection.
How could he not know that what his son said was the truth?
There is no road, there really is no road.
The fact that his son could say these words already shows that many people in the clan no longer want to go on.
It's just that he has led his tribe to find pasture for so many years. How could he be willing to give up like this?
"I said that Han people may not have good intentions. Even Feng Langjun has his own plans."
The bald man emphasized.
"Why did you lead our tribe to leave the desert and find new pastures?"
Bald Khotan also sat down and asked a question that everyone knew.
"Of course I want to find a place where our tribe can graze in peace."
Do you still need to ask about this matter?
The bald man didn't understand why his son would ask such a question.
"Sir, have you ever thought of becoming someone like Mr. Tan Shihuai?"
The bald Khotan asked again.
"Gu Tu, this is not a problem that I can consider, and it is not a problem that you should consider!"
The bald man's face changed drastically when he heard his son say such words.
"If you dare to have such a thought, stop it as soon as possible! Otherwise it will bring death to you!"
It may even bring disaster to the tribe.
Because even when the Tuoba tribe was not divided, it could still only be regarded as a small tribe in the desert.
Even after Master Tan Shihuai's death, the three tribes of East, West, and Central tribes each maintained their own side, and the Tuoba tribe was in the desert, and they could only barely maintain the tribe from being annexed by others.
Not to mention that the tribe is now trapped between the Wei and Han people in order to survive.
Therefore, the biggest wish of the bald man is to find a pasture of his own and let his tribe survive first.
If we can be more lucky and the tribe develops and grows, that would be the best.
Nowadays, the Xianbei people are divided into pieces. Even the most powerful Lord Kebineng once expressed his surrender to the previous emperor of the Wei people.
This is not only clear to the bald man, but also to the bald man.
They can bully those bastards, or they can take advantage of them when the Han and Wei people are not paying attention.
Compared with the Wei and Han people, the Bald Hair Tribe is still very weak and has little capital.
"Sir, our tribe can only own the grassland of the West Sea at most. It is almost impossible to grow."
At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "Unless the Wei and Han people fight to the death, both sides will fail to capture Liangzhou."
"On the contrary, it caused chaos in Liangzhou, so that we could have a chance to gain a foothold in Hexi, but..."
Bald-haired Pigu didn't wait for Bald-haired Kheli to finish speaking, and immediately shouted, "Okay, don't say any more!"
Although he didn't let his son finish what he said, the bald Pigu knew what his son was going to say after the "just".
it's out of the question!
Let’s not talk about Feng Langjun, nor General Hao Zhao, who just died this year.
Let's just talk about the Liangzhou governor. Even under the pressure of the Han people, he was able to calm Liangzhou. Even Liangzhou's miscellaneous people who always liked to cause trouble were so quiet.
This is enough to illustrate his ability.
Who would be so stupid as to wait for the Wei and Han people to mess up Liangzhou themselves?
He sat there silently and thought for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his son could see things more clearly than he did this time.
Since even his son doesn't want to move forward, it means that many tribesmen also have this idea.
More importantly, I heard that the far west of Liangzhou is an endless desert with not even a blade of grass.
For the tribes who make a living by herding, this is a death place.
Which tribe would be willing to try to cross that dead land without being cornered?
The bald man actually didn't want to do it either.
More importantly, now that the Wei and Han people are fighting for Liangzhou, it may be a good time for their own tribes.
Mutton tastes best when it's hot.
Otherwise, it will be too late if you wait until the two sides come up with a result before making your own decision.
"Do you think the Han people can win?"
The bald man finally asked.
When the bald man heard this, he immediately became happy and said, "Sir, that's not what I think."
"But we need the Han people to win. The Wei people didn't settle accounts with us before, because the Han people pushed them too hard."
"Sir, think about it, but if the Han people are defeated and the Wei people re-stabilize Liangzhou, can we still have a good life?"
The bald Pigu sighed: "Even the Han people are not trustworthy..."
"That's better than the Wei people." Tufa Tianli said without hesitation, "Sir, if you really want to talk about it, the Han people may not be untrustworthy."
He went to Longyou many times, so he knew much more about the situation of the Han people than his own family.
He is the young ruler of the tribe, and it is a matter of his own tribe, so he cannot do things without thinking.
It's not that he wants to rely on the Han people, but under the current circumstances, they have reached a time when they have to make a choice.
Moreover, now that the Han people and the Wei people are fighting over Liangzhou, it is the best time to make a choice.
If you miss this opportunity, your tribe will be trapped in the West Sea.
If you want to enter Hexi, you can only let others control you.
"Sir, the Han people are no better than the Wei people. Nowadays, among the Han people, whether they are barbarians in the south or Qiang and Di in the north, as long as they have the ability, they can stand on their own."
Duanmuzhe, Wang Ping, Liu Hun, Zagotel, Yang Wanwan and his son, etc., can easily give a lot of examples.
Bald-faced Khotan immediately told his master everything he had heard and seen during his trip to Longyou.
As he talked to himself, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Is the roasted lamb delicious?
Of course it’s delicious!
But compared to squatting in a tent with drafts on all sides, wrapped in smelly sheepskin clothes, and eating roasted lamb without adding too much salt.
He prefers to sit in a big warm house, let beauties wear fine clothes, serve him roast mutton, drink wine when he wants, and drink tea when he wants.
"Sir, that Duanmuzhe was forced to nearly annihilate his clan, so he had to take refuge with Feng Langjun. Now, it is difficult for the leaders of countless tribes in Longyou to ask to see him."
"And that Liu Hun is just a down-and-out Hun son, and he was once a servant of Feng Langjun, but look at him now?"
He alone led the most elite cavalry of the Han people into Huangshui. The bastards in Huangshui looked at the wind and descended. They all surrendered, which was very majestic.
Having said this, the bald Kheli's eyes showed a look of envy.
The Huns were just slaves of the Xianbei people on the grasslands.
Not to mention those barbarians in the south and those miscellaneous barbarians in Longyou.
Which one can compare with the Xianbei people?
But now they are living much better than themselves, why?
Isn't it because they took refuge in Feng Langjun?
"If you can be like Liu Hun and become a general of the Han people and make all the barbarians in Liangzhou bow their heads, then what's the harm in not being the leader of this clan?"
Just like the current adults, in addition to giving orders in the clan, can they be like Liu Hun and make the miscellaneous people in Xiping obey their orders?
And if the Han people speak now, don’t adults still have to listen?
After listening to his son's words and looking at his yearning expression, Bald-faced Kheli could not help but curse inwardly:
"Idiot! If you really want to be a tribal leader like Tan Shihuai, let alone make Liangzhou Zahu obedient, you can even ask the Han emperor to send his own women!"
It's just that I said this from the standpoint of a tribal leader, and I could only say it in my heart.
If he really had to stand as a father, the bald man actually knew that his son's future would be better if he went to join Feng Langjun than if he stayed in the West Sea to herd herds.
"Sir, if you are reluctant to part with the pasture in Xihai, then I have an idea."
Seeing the uncertain look on his master's face, the bald Khotan Li Na didn't know that the master was hesitating in his heart, so he finally came up with his final thoughts.
"What?"
The bald man asked.
"Your Excellency is guarding the pasture in Xihai. I will take my close associates to Longyou first."
According to an unknown source, Feng Langjun is currently forming a cavalry army and lacks people who can lead the army.
If he takes someone with him at this time, I don't think Feng Langjun will treat him badly.
After all, Xihai has its own tribe!
And if he establishes a firm foothold among the Han people, then the tribesmen in Xihai will naturally follow suit.
Looking at his son's eager eyes, the bald-haired Pigu asked: "How do you know these things?"
Although his son had been to Longyou many times, but hearing him talk like he had seen it himself, the bald man didn't believe it.
"Of course..."
The bald-haired Tianli had just said three words when he heard a report from the bodyguard outside: "Sir, Mr. Li Langjun has come to see the young master."
"Please come in quickly."
The bald Khotan's face lit up with joy.
The curtain was quickly opened, and a person came in wrapped in an icy wind and snow.
Wearing a thick cashmere felt hat and a bearskin robe, this man looked like an upright human bear entering the camp.
After the visitor came in, he put down what he was carrying, then took off the thick gloves on his hands, opened his bearskin coat, and a burst of snowflakes fell.
He took off his hat again and revealed a face, but it was Liu Liang, the son of the cavalry general Liu Yan.
Liu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, took off his down jacket again, and then said, "This damn weather can really freeze someone to death!"
After saying that, he sat down and stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire. He looked very familiar with the bald father and son.
The bald man said with a smile, "I heard that Shu is warm even in winter. It's normal for Li Langjun not to get used to it when he comes here."
"Yes," Liu Liang nodded in agreement, "Compared to here, Shu is indeed much warmer."
"Here, even if you are wearing clothes inside and outside, it can almost make you breathless, and you still feel cold."
"I have never seen such a cold weather since I was a child."
The bald-haired Tianli glanced at the bearskin robe and down jacket that Liu Liang had casually thrown aside, and he was even more convinced of his previous thoughts.
This kind of clothing can be exchanged for at least hundreds of sheep in the clan, and it was just thrown on the ground casually. The husband of the Han family really didn't know how precious this kind of thing was.
Liu Liang didn't know what the bald man was thinking, so he warmed his hands, then turned around and took a jar of things.
He shook his head at the father and son, with a show off look on his face, "Here, let's have a drink of wine to warm up."
This time, not only did the bald Kheli's eyes light up, but even the bald Pigu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Liu Liang handed the wine to the bald man, turned around, took another jar and drank it himself.
The bald man immediately took the wine from his master's hand, hurriedly raised his neck and took a big sip, then let out a deep breath and let out a comfortable growl from his throat.
After drinking the hot wine, my whole body felt warm from the inside out, as if it was being roasted by fire.
In this kind of weather, strong wine is the best thing. What about mead and peach wine? Is that the wine that men should drink?
Even a young man like Liu Liang, who usually doesn't drink strong alcohol at all, got into the habit of taking a sip from time to time as soon as he got here.
Take a sip and feel more comfortable than wearing a bearskin robe!
The fact that Liu Liang appeared here was not because Feng Yong was deliberately trying to mess with him.
Because when the Han Dynasty pacified Xiping County, Feng Yong still led the army to guard Lingju City.
Zhang Xingyi is basically in charge of the operation of the Qiang Protector's Office.
At that time, Feng Yong was preparing to quell the Qiang and Hu rebellion in Longxi. He had promised Zhao Yun that he could recommend Liu Liang to Longxi to manage the affairs of the Hu people.
Although the official position is not big, the salary and salary can be considered to be rich.
After the Northern Expedition, everyone was waiting for war dividends.
Apart from the wool harvested in the spring and autumn this year, 70% of it was handed over to the state and fell into the hands of the Qiang Protector's Office.
The first batch of dividends is the 70% wool.
Of course, the dividends will increase in the future.
The Elder Faction, the Jingzhou Faction, the Dongshi Faction, and even the Shu Local Faction, all those who have the right to share the dividends, appear extremely united at this moment:
Whoever dares to rob me is my enemy!
That is to say, the Li family of Longxi and the Jiang family of Tianshui had to get permission to get involved.
It's a pity that all this has nothing to do with Liu Liang.
Even the Mi family has long been cleared in Yuexun. Only Liu Liang has always been on Feng Huitou's blacklist.
In other words, although Feng Hui leader did not deliberately want to mess with him, Xinghan Hui, a second-generation circle of power that has formed an interest group, has been squeezing him out.
In the end, Liu Yan sold it to the Han Dynasty Prime Minister... and made a shady deal. Only then did Feng Hui leader personally express his position and remove Liu Liang from the Xinghan Hui's blacklist.
But after he came to Longyou and watched others drinking and eating meat, he couldn't even drink the soup. How could he feel balanced?
Coupled with the training of the past two years, he finally understood a truth: without merit and real power, no matter how great his reputation is, it counts?
So what if my lord is an elder?
When Feng Yong was just a country bumpkin, wasn't there still nothing he could do to win over him?
Even if you take over your own master's title then, what's the use?
At that time, Feng Yong got the hint from the prime minister, so naturally he tried his best to arrange a profitable position for him.
He also made a special statement: Except for rebels against Hu, the rest of Longxi are our own people, so you don’t have to be afraid.
Of course Liu Liang is afraid. He is afraid that he will really only be able to watch other people's backs in his life, and he will not be able to catch up with them.
In the past, others were following behind him.
Who still loves him now?
That's why not long after he went to Longxi, he saw the Longxi army dispatched, and his heart suddenly became excited.
If there is no opportunity, you have to create it yourself!
The big man is so big, I want to see him.
So he found an opportunity and ran to the powerful official of the Protector Qiang School Wei Mansion, and shamelessly called her sister-in-law.
It's just that the president's wife didn't care about anything at that time.
As a last resort, he turned around to find Mrs. Zhang.
If it were anyone else, Mrs. Zhang would not dare to make the decision.
But who is Liu Liang?
Will Mrs. Zhang be afraid of royal clan members?
So she immediately agreed and asked him to go to Xiping with the army to visit.
To the west of Xiping, there is a tribe called the Tufa tribe, which is the focus of Chief Feng Hui.
At that time, Feng Yong planned to let Liu Liang come to Longxi, so he naturally told him some of his plans.
Xianbei's fine cavalry is one level higher than Longyou's Qiang and Hu cavalry.
So Liu Liang started to think: If I deceive this tribe... and persuade them to go to Longyou, will it count as merit?
