Chapter 137 Being a wolf or a dog

"Woooooo!"

The sound of the Qiang people's horn sounded again.

Hearing the call, the Qiang people returned to the side of the Qiang King in chaos.

At this moment, the gate of Hanni City slowly opened.

In the middle is a strong Han general with a helmet and armor. He couldn't see his appearance clearly. He rode a red mare with only a diamond-shaped white spot on his forehead.

On his left was a somewhat nervous Shanshan man, and on his right was a knight in iron armor.

The knight was holding a Han army's Canglong Banner in his hand.

After they left the city, Bai Yu cavalry and armored cavalry emerged from behind the city gate.

"Armored"

The King of Qiang looked shocked. So many armored cavalry made him feel nervous.

He knew very well that although he seemed to have more numbers on his side, he would probably not be able to fight in real battle.

He was considering whether to leave or stay. The Shanshan man shouted loudly in Qiang words, saying that he wanted to talk to them.

The King of Qiang hesitated for a moment and agreed to the peace talks, but asked the Han army to send only three people and asked Zhang Yue to go there by name.

Even if Zhang Yue agreed to the request of King Qiang, the rest of the people would not agree to it.

The Han army's refusal was expected by the Qiang King.

His idea of ​​making this request was to ask for a price everywhere and pay it back.

After some exchanges, the two sides finally agreed that three people would go to the central government of the two armies to negotiate.

"Is it the King of Qiang?" Zhang Yue immediately stepped forward and asked arrogantly.

When the King of Qiang heard this, his anger suddenly rose from his heart.

He suppressed his anger and said, "I am the King of Qiang and Hu Lai. I wonder who the general is?"

Zhang Yue didn't say anything, and the translator of Shanshan next to him took the initiative to step forward.

"This is the Marquis of Yunyang of the Great Han Dynasty, Zhang Gong, the Duke of the Western Regions' Battlefield..."

The King of Qiang was shocked, and his anger disappeared without a trace. "But the defeat of King Riju, the defeat of Kucha, and the Zhang Junhou of Gumo?"

The translator said, “That’s right!”

The King of Qiang turned over and dismounted, "Little Wang Yunmu met the Marquis of Yunyang..."

This time, the Qiang King said Chinese.

Zhang Yue was no longer pretending to be arrogant at this time, but also turned over and dismounted, "Your and Qiang King are you and I are the family..."

When the King of Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Junhou is also a Qiang person?"

Zhang Yue laughed, "Of course I am from China, but the Qiang is also from China!"

The King of Qiang was confused, "Is Qiang also China?"

Zhang Yue laughed, "Has King Qiang forgotten his origin?"

The King of Qiang was even more confused.

"My wife Qiang originally lived... and later moved to Jinshan, and I am a descendant of the Jintian clan..."

Zhang Yue laughed, "Great kindness!"

He continued

"In the first year of Zhaogong of Zuo Zhuan, "In the past, Jin Tian's family had a son named Wei, and was a master of Xuanming, and was born in Yunge, and was tested on the platform."

"This Jintian clan is Shaohao, the leader of the Dongyi clan tribe. He led his people to combine with Huangdi and Yandi clans to form the Huaxia clan."

The King of Qiang said in a daze, "In this way, is my Qiang really the same clan as the Han people?"

Zhang Yue laughed, "This is natural!"

The two chatted for a long time, and finally Zhang Yue said, "I wonder why King Qiang is here?"

The King of Qiang did not hide it, "The country is selling grain, Xiao Wang is here to get grain..."

Zhang Yue said, "This Shan Kingdom has become a territory of the Han Dynasty and naturally becomes a territory of the Han Dynasty. I hope you don't want to attack!"

The kingly way of the Qiang Dynasty, "In the past, when I was still in Loulan, I also belonged to the Han Dynasty, but when the Qiang came to collect grain every year, the Han Dynasty never took care of it, so why do we have to take care of it now?"

Zhang Yue laughed and replied, "Because at that time, Loulan's head and rat were not loyal to the Han, but now he is devoted to the Han."

The King of Qiang shook his head and said, "If Qiang is not allowed to attack Shanshan in the future, then Qiang will have a lot of food every year. If the children are starved to death, who will take care of it?"

Zhang Yue laughed, "The Qiang is also the Xia people. In the future, the food of the Qiang people will naturally be managed by someone!"

The King of Qiang shook his head, obviously not believing it, "Don't deceive me, I have never seen the Han people in the past to care about the life and death of the Qiang people..."

Zhang Yue said, "Because at that time, someone was not the Tian Duwei of the Western Regions Camp, and someone didn't know the Qiang people..."

The Qiang people still shook their heads in disbelief: "In Qiang, the promises made in Qiang cannot be fulfilled, and they will be..."

Zhang Yue said, "I dare to ask, you will take your troops to eat grain in Zhucheng, Loulan, and spend more than a month walking around the north and south. How much food can you get at most?"

The King of Qiang thought about it and said, "One thousand two hundred stones."

These foods are enough for the entire tribe to eat for a month, allowing them to survive the most difficult period.

"Two thousand stones!"

"From the Han Dynasty, 2,000 stones of grain can be provided to Qiang every month."

Zhang Yue’s heroic way.

The King of Qiang Mi said with his eyes, "There are such good things, what does Junhou want the King of Qiang to do?"

Zhang Yue smiled, "I need the war horses of the Qiang people, the salt and iron of the Qiang people..."

The king of Qiang said, "I'm afraid I've made a mistake. My Qiang is a barren land. How could there be salt and iron? But there are some horses..."

Zhang Yue said, "Not before, it does not mean there will be no future..."

Zhang Yue continued to tempt, "Yue still hopes that King Qiang can recruit Qiang people from all over the country for a certain place. For each person he recruits, he will add another stone of grain..."

The King of Qiang did not agree immediately, but just said that he should consider it carefully.

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "It's time to think carefully. I'll go to Hu Lai Wang for three days. If I agree within three days, I can come and find someone!"

The King of Qiang nodded and agreed.

When he parted, Zhang Yue looked back and said, "When King Hu Lai, please restrain his subordinates. If he continues to attack Shanshan, a certain Han army will never agree..."

The King of Qiang soon brought his troops back to the camp.

In the evening, King Qiang expressed the conditions raised by Zhang Yue.

"What do you think? Do we join the Han people and do things for the Han people?"

There were not many times when the Qiang people in this era could have enough food, so most of them agreed to join the Han people.

Only Yunhu, the son of King Yunmu of Qiang, was very dissatisfied with this.

He stood up and patted his chest that was red from the sun: "We are wild wolves between the snow-capped mountains and the desert, free and easy, why do we have to be a Han dog?"

At this time a voice sounded in the crowd,

"What's wrong with being a dog for a big man? At least you can have a full meal..."

"you!"

Yun Huwu was so angry that he touched the sword with his hand and pulled it out suddenly, scaring the Qiang King.

When the people around him saw him draw his sword, they also drew their swords one after another, and the situation suddenly became nervous.

"Yunhu, put down the sword for me!" The Qiang King was furious.

"Yunhu put down the sword..." Several other elders among the Qiang people also ordered Yunhu to put down the sword.

Yunhu snorted, and finally reluctantly took back his sword and sat down.

The King of Qiang looked at his son and sighed

"He doesn't understand that being a big man's dog, eating and drinking, is much better than those wild wolves who are hungry all day long and are shot and skinned in the end..."

The Qiang people finally chose to cooperate with the Han Dynasty.

Between when a wolf starves to death and a dog eats a full meal, it is obviously more important to eat a full meal.

The next day, early in the morning, the King of Qiang brought his troops outside the city again.

"You are waiting here. Without my orders, you must not act without permission!"
