The Pheasant tribe members noticed the movement outside the mountain immediately. . . com¡¶¡·%Íø
Unlike the last confrontation, this time the Pheasants tribe seemed to have an ominous premonition, and various signs indicated that a big battle was about to break out. The tribesmen were whispering, discussing the alliance between the official army and the Tibetan tribe outside the mountain. Noah snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the tent of the tribe leader Li Wanquan.
"Father!" Noah called softly.
Li Wanquan frowned and was thinking until Noah woke him up.
"Well, Noah, sit down!" Li Wanquan raised his head and motioned for Noah to sit in front of him.
"Father, the clan members are talking a lot privately and their hearts are unstable." Noah was a little anxious.
"Well, what did you hear?" Li Wanquan asked.
"There are rumors that some tribes borrowed food from the government, but on the way back they were robbed of food, and some people died. They said it was our Pheasant tribe who did it. This is simply slandering and framing us!" Noah said angrily.
"Noah, you are not an easily angered person. This time, your position has been messed up!" Li Wanquan sighed.
"I" Noah's face turned ugly and he hesitated, "I I'm just worried. I'm worried that the government is still determined to kill me. This is obviously a frame-up by the government to frame us, the Pheasant Clan."
"Yes. How could the government be so kind and actually lend food to the Tibetan people? Last time I heard that the man surnamed Han and the Tibetan leaders were good at hunting and deliberately left us Pheasants aside. I felt something was wrong. This time it finally came true. The government is deliberately trying to deal with us, but they still don¡¯t forget the differences between us and the government. I thought we could live in peace."
Li Wanquan looked worried.
"Father, have you heard? This time the government army and the Tibetan people gathered together, they actually threatened to plan to carve up our livestock, women, and our ancestors who have always occupied this land. This move by the government is cruel. , there will always be Tibetan people who see the benefits, are incited by the government, and are willing to be the lackeys and arrows of the government army!"
"Who did you hear this from?" Li Wanquan suddenly sat up straight.
"Someone from the goat tribe secretly told me, this news is absolutely reliable!" Noah looked worried.
Li Wanquan¡¯s expression changed drastically and he looked a little pale:
"Noah, my position is a little messed up."
"Yes, my foster father knows it clearly, the moment of life and death for our Pheasant Clan has arrived!" Noah fell on the ground and kowtowed heavily with his head.
"Is there no room for peaceful coexistence with the government?" Li Wanquan asked in a trembling voice.
Noah raised his head, and he saw fear in Li Wanquan's eyes. Perhaps his adoptive father was really old and had lost the courage to resist in the face of the coming powerful enemy.
"I heard that even Miao'e, Yanjia and Shuwei in the southernmost part of the Hulu River were invited. We are too far away from these families, so we have nothing to do with them at all. Even they have joined in. Since that surname When Han came to Qingzhou, the boy felt that something was not good. This man was different from other officers and generals. He was cunning and cunning. He did not use brute force. He first became an ally with our mortal enemy, the Killing Ox Clan, and then used Xiao Hui lured various tribes to favor the government, and then framed us and stirred up the hatred of various tribes against us. This is really our mortal enemy. I can't see a more terrifying enemy than this guy surnamed Han!" Noah! road.
Li Wanquan nodded and said: "Noah, since the facts have happened, we can't regret the past, let's focus on the present. Noah, do you think we have a way out this time?"
"No!" Noah replied firmly, "People will always die in a war. If we are pressed, the army will not be unscathed. If I were a government official, I would definitely take the initiative to surrender, but Lord foster father, we and The officers and soldiers have been in truce all winter. Have you seen any initiative from the government to accept surrender? No, not at all. The officers and soldiers seem to have forgotten about us. We are too careless. If the officers and soldiers want to fight in Hengshan and even farther south If Longshan has a firm foothold and makes all the Tibetan people afraid, they must establish their authority, so we, the Pheasant Tribe, have become a test stone for the government and army."
"No, Noah, your judgment is correct. You have reminded me a long time ago, but I didn't take it to heart. Today's official family is no longer the same as before. There can only be one master inside and outside Hengshan. It's a pity that we, Fan The people are scattered and cannot be united. Send envoys and if the peace talks fail, then let¡¯s have a showdown with the officers and soldiers!¡± Li Wanquan made up his mind, showing the decisiveness and bravery of a family leader.
To Li Wanquan¡¯s expectation, Noah shook his head and said: ¡°Father, you must never seek a decisive battle!¡±
"Noa, you coward!" A voice came from outside the tent door, and then a young figure came in, it was Li Qimi.Since being released by the government, Li Qimi's complaints against Noah have become more and more intense, because he believes that it was precisely because of Noah's persistence and delay that he suffered a serious crime in Gyeongju Prison, and also because of Noah's success. Organizing resistance to the official army's attack, the official army returned without success, and his prestige among the clan increased day by day, which made Li Qimi feel an increasing threat.
"Shut up!" Li Wanquan said angrily, "Now that our clan's life and death are at stake, how can you, a beast, be provocative? Sit down!"
Li Qimi glared at Noah and sat down next to Li Wanquan, face to face with Noah. This seemed to remind Noah that you are just a slave!
"Noah, what are your plans?" Li Wanquan asked, his anger lessening.
"Let's go!" Noah said concisely.
"Go? Where to go?" Li Wanquan felt incredible, "Do you want me to give up the fertile fields and mountains where our ancestors have lived for generations?"
¡°Noah, you¡¯re crazy!¡± Li Qi was furious.
"Yes, foster father, if we stay, we will only end up dead. If we move away, we may still have a chance to survive." Noah reiterated his opinion again.
"Father, the child is right. Noah is really crazy. He has been frightened by the army and has become a coward. Cowards are not terrible, but he actually wants to escape and give up what his ancestors left to us so easily. Our precious land. Father, please kill him quickly. If the clan members know that Noah is such a person, then our Pheasant clan will probably collapse."
Li Qimi smiled angrily, but his tone was as paranoid as a crow in the mountains, gloomy and terrifying.
"Father Mingjian, I, Noah, am not a coward, I just think about the long term for my people. The sky is huge and the earth is huge. We are going to cross the Hengshan Mountain. There are also considerable fertile fields and pastures at the northern foot of the Hengshan Mountain. The tribes there are not strong. We can defeat them. Establish a foothold there, seize enough land and pasture to feed the whole clan, and have an ally once we get there!¡±
Noah kowtowed to the ground and begged again.
"Is Li Yiyin from Xiazhou?" Li Wanquan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, foster father. Li Yiyin did not obey the Bianliang court, because the Tibetan people are Tibetan people. We are our own masters, why should we surrender to the Han emperor? Li Yiyin's tribe is powerful and owns Xia and Yin states. Although it is not He dares to openly resist the imperial court, but everyone knows that he and the imperial court are at odds with each other. He needs allies more than us because he is ambitious!" Noah said.
The reputation of the Li family (Tuoba family) in Xiazhou is well-known far and wide. Noah has also been to Xiazhou to contact Li Yiyin. He has seen with his own eyes how the Li family rules the Wuding River at the northeastern foot of Hengshan Mountain. It is obvious that Noah is a thoughtful person. , he has already seen the ambition of the Li Yiyin family under the surface of obedience.
"Hmph, Noah, you are delusional. After we leave the land below our feet, we are just lone wolves, suffering from hunger and fighting constantly. Is this the life we ??Pheasants should live?" Li Qi Mi couldn't help cursing, "Besides, although it is said that our Pheasant clan has the same origin as the Tuoba family, once we become neighbors with Li Yiyin, we will be annexed by him one day. Noah, you dare to say that this is not the case." is it possible?"
"This" Noah was speechless for a moment. He had to re-examine Li Qi's IQ status in his mind.
"Noa, you don't need to say anything anymore. This time, the beggar is right. Immortality is in the sky. I can't abandon the land left by my ancestors. Otherwise, I won't be able to face my ancestors lying on the ground even after I die. You let the men in the clan Get ready to fight.¡±
Li Wanquan interrupted Noah's words, paused and said: "If, I mean, if possible, we still have to negotiate peace with the government and the army. For the past hundred years, this has been the homeland of our Tibetan people. Does the world have to Has it changed?"
Although Li Wanquan was worried, he still lived in the past, just like when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty awarded his ancestors the official position. The Han emperor could not control the Tibetan people, but had to accommodate them.
This is Li Wanquan¡¯s understanding, but it cannot change Han Yi¡¯s firm goal.
Killing Niuling, the officers and soldiers were sharpening their swords. Zhe Congruan took the time to summon his generals to discuss the military situation, and Han Yi welcomed his old subordinates.
Zan Jurun, Shen Yilun, Liu Xigu, and Xue Juzheng came to Qingzhou one after another. After hearing that Han Yi and Zhe Congruan were all in front of the army, they had no choice but to go to Shaniuling together. Naturally, Chen Guanchen was unwilling to cross Tongguan to serve in Hengshan Bianzhou. Wang Jun had to find a reason to block this assignment for his confidant, and Xue Juzheng still took over as the governor of Qingzhou.
Xue Juzheng became the biggest beneficiary of the dispute between Han and Wang. He was a super-promoter and attracted the attention of both the government and the public. He knew that he relied on Han Yi's support to achieve his current status, but he did not show any signs of joy on his surface. The appearance comes.
Han Yi doesn¡¯t see it that way. Those who can catch his eye are all capable and experienced people who are responsible for their duties. Zan, Shen, Liu, and Xue are precisely such literati, and they all have the potential to be prime ministers. , besides, they had all served under Han Yi before, so they were familiar with each other's temperaments, and it was easy for Han Yi to handle them.
"Everyone, especially Brother Zan and Brother Xue, without any discussion with you, I transferred you from the colorful world of Bianliang to serve in Qingzhou, this state. I'm sorry!"
Han Yi started with some pleasantries.
Among these people, Liu Xigu is the oldest, nearly fifty years old. He is both civil and military, but he has been a subordinate for a long time because Han Yicai "has a prosperous official career." Although he was a classmate of Prime Minister Fan Zhi and had a special status, in any case, in the eyes of others, Liu Xigu was Han Yi's "person", so Liu Xigu, who was the latest to join Han Yi, became the first of the four. , the representative replied:
"You are so polite, Marquis Han. I came from a humble background and did not have many false pretenses. I learned arts and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family. Now the Marquis Han and your Duke are determined to open up territory and expand the territory of the country. I am willing to do my little bit!" "
"Okay! Everyone says that it is easier to be an official in the capital. In fact, for those who are truly ambitious, this frontier is where men can make contributions. The poor and the white, the Tibetan and Han people live together, but as long as we look northward across the Hengshan Mountains, towards the Across Longshan Mountain in the west, the sky is vast and the earth is vast, so why should a scholar worry about not being able to win the title of Ten Thousand Households?"
Han Yi and the four of them walked out of the tent, stood on a high hill, and looked up at the foot of the mountain.
Hengshan is majestic, the snow is still lingering, and on the grass between the dark and dense forests, people from various tribes responded to Han Yi's call, holding various flags, and gathered towards Shaniuling.
At the most conspicuous place, the big flag with the word "Zhou" fluttering in the wind, and the shouts of the athletes of the Zhou army with high morale under the flag came and went, echoing for a long time in the mountains and dense forests:
Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins!
Han Yi allowed the cold wind of early spring to pour into his chest from his collar. His hot chest seemed to be filled with heroic spirit. His piercing eyes penetrated the clouds and sky, and he wanted to truly rewrite the history of Hengshan.
