When Maggie Toast said this, all the people present were filled with anger. They wanted to go to Li Xiang immediately and ask clearly, do you want to control us?
"It's just nonsense. In order to maintain this alliance, he has to give away his son. What's the point of this? If this is the case, he can use his son to control all of us. By then, we will be the chieftain and he will be the chieftain.
?”
Chieftain Wang Bo has a bad temper. He couldn't sit still when he heard this. His generals were also unwilling. We are obviously the victors now, but we want to send our sons away. What is the reason? Although these chieftains
The man didn't study much, but he also knew that sending his son away would be equivalent to handing over the handle to someone else.
"Wang Bo is right. This matter can never be handled according to what he said. If we do it according to what he said, then all of us will lose our autonomy. He will be the one who really decides on this plateau in the future.
Already."
The rest of the toast masters also expressed their opinions. Except for Maggie Toast and Laxueba Toast, no one else expressed their agreement. In desperation, Laxueba Toast had no choice but to stand up.
, then took out the picture of Li Xiang, and at the same time told them what Li Xiang had just said. The chieftains who were bustling about just now have now shut their mouths, although they are still unconvinced in their hearts.
But they also understand the real situation they are facing now.
Although Li Xiang did not threaten them, the meaning behind his words was very obvious. Either you send your son to me, and we can continue to maintain the current model, or you don't send your son, and of course I will.
If you don't know what to say, then the relationship between us will probably be in trouble. Everyone present knows that without the support of the young master of the Tang Dynasty, they might have been killed by the people of the imperial court long ago. Now they are still
Can I sit here and drink?
"Laxueba, you only have one son, what do you think?"
Ronggong Chieftain thought for a while and said, Chieftain Laxueba is not weak in strength, but he only has one son. He has many wives, nine in total, but apart from this son, he has no other sons.
If he is willing to send his son there, then there will be no reason for others to disagree.
"What else can I think? I negotiated with the young master. At the beginning, I disagreed with you just as much as you did, but now the situation is still up to us to choose?"
Chieftain Laxueba spread his hands and said, the expressions on the other people's faces became even worse. The imperial army was not far away and was watching eagerly. We were still eating the food shipped from Chang'an.
If we have a falling out with this young master, there may be no carriage coming next month. Once no carriage comes, it means that our supplies are gone. Compared with the court, our family is still relatively weak.
, not to mention that we are pitting one region against the whole country, so if things continue like this, we may not be able to gain an advantage.
"Actually, we still know the next steps. As long as we don't get out of this circle, we can send each other's sons to each other's official villages, so that sometimes we can take them back. This is also possible, why do we have to
How about sending your son to Datang?"
One of the chieftains pointed at the map and said that in his opinion, the necessary strategy was already in place. No matter how it develops next, as long as we strictly adhere to this circle, the court will have no way to do anything to us.
"Chief Yangjia, what you said is not true. Do you know how much faster Lu Dongzan's brain works than ours? If he could kill us five or six times under the same circumstances, what if he could kill us five or six times at that time?
With the change, can you think of a plan to deal with it? Except for that young master, I have never seen anyone who can defeat Lu Dongzan in my life. Haven't we people suffered losses at the hands of Lu Dongzan before?
?”
Maggie Toast, who was sitting on the main seat, also spoke. After he said this, the surrounding toast masters were whispering to each other. This was also a very necessary reason. Lu Dongzan put too much pressure on them.
Mainly because after Li Xiang left, Lu Dongzan launched a counterattack against them and beat the shit out of them. With Li Xiang giving them advice, they would be able to maintain the current status quo, but if not, then in the future...
"Then do we really want to send our son to Liangzhou City?"
Although Ronggong Chieftain has two sons, one of them is ineffective. Apart from drinking, killing, and playing with women, he can't do anything. Only his eldest son can inherit the position of chieftain. If he gives it away, only
If you could send your eldest son there, it would be equivalent to sending your lifeblood into his hands.
None of the other chieftains answered, which already showed everything they were thinking. Although we are extremely unhappy, in order to preserve the inheritance of our ancestors, we must do what Li Xiang said.
Seeing that no one was talking, Maggie Toast stood up and asked them one by one, and then asked them to cut their fingers and print their own fingerprints on the back of the map. This is also a tradition on the plateau. As long as the print is
Having this fingerprint indicates that you agree to this matter.
If you regret it in the future, then you may not have a foothold on the plateau. No matter whether you are doing business or making alliances in the future, no one will be with you. People like you are regarded as untrustworthy by everyone.
If you stay with a dishonest person for a long time, you will probably be tricked by such a person sooner or later.
When Li Xiang received this reply, he was very satisfied in his heart. He gave them seven days to prepare. After seven days, Li Xiang will go on the road with more than a dozen young masters. They will be placed in Liangzhou City. Li Xiang will specially
We found some great Confucian scholars from the mainland and taught them some culture so that they could become pawns in ruling Tubo.
In fact, everyone knows what Li Xiang is thinking, but they can't stop it at all. Unless you don't want to cooperate with Li Xiang, then you have to get out of this alliance immediately. If you get out of this alliance,
You will be eaten by the imperial army soon, and maybe the chieftain who was your ally yesterday will also take action. So under such circumstances, sacrificing one son to preserve all the family property should be the safest thing...
