Chapter 1009 Since we can't fight, we can only sue for peace(1/2)
"Dayue?"
Kong Hongmao said in a low voice: "Are you sure you want to see it?"
Next to him, the deputy envoy Gan Xiu shook his head.
If it were not held earlier, it would not be held later, but it happened to be held at this time.
What's the intention?
Isn't it just to show off your power and intimidate them?
Don’t you still think you’re slapped in the face enough?
Gan Xiu is already thick-skinned, and he can't resist...
"Look, you must see it!"
Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "We must find out Dakang's strength clearly!"
Several people nodded solemnly.
The court meeting ended in this way, and all the envoys were arranged to return to the post house. Only the barbarian envoys were summoned alone.
Guan Ning looked at the burly barbarian leader Tuluhua in front of him with a slightly startled expression.
Why did he feel that the way these barbarians looked at him was wrong, as if they were looking carefully.
It's very strange.
The look in his eyes was also very kind.
Guan Ning thought it was his illusion, but it made him feel that these barbarians were very friendly.
Start from reality.
He once led his troops into the wilderness to fight against the Naiman tribe, and went deep into the northern part of the country, directly killing and harassing the main tribe, forcing the royal court to move north, and later forcing them to pay large amounts of compensation.
This hatred is irreconcilable.
Now, making good friends with the Kled tribe is also a practical necessity...
"What is the situation in the wilderness now? How far is the war between your Kled tribe and Naiman tribe going?"
Guan Ning asked specifically.
"Half and half."
Tuluhua's tone of voice was very Central Plains style, and it was obvious that she had a deep understanding of Central Plains culture.
"Your previous entry into the wilderness dealt a huge blow to the Naiman tribe, which also gave us an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, after all, the Naiman tribe had a deep foundation in the Wangting tribe before, so it would not be easy for me to defeat the tribe completely.
…”
This is true and not exaggerated in the slightest.
This made Guan Ning even more confused.
In fact, he probably knows the situation of the Kled tribe,
The Kled tribe was indeed a royal tribe in the past, but in fact it has been oppressed for many years, and it is not easy to take advantage of the opportunity to rise.
But they sent so many cattle, sheep, and horses.
These things are quite precious in the grassland.
Why do they still act like this even though they are in a very difficult situation?
This is really incredible.
Guan Ning couldn't figure it out either. He guessed that the key was the black-robed king...
"What is the real name of the Black Robed King?"
He asked the question in his mind.
"This...can't be said."
Tuluhua said: "The true identity of the black-robed king is a top secret in our Kled tribe, but you can rest assured that our Kled tribe has absolutely no ill intentions towards you."
His expression was calm.
I added another sentence in my heart.
Yes, what kind of ill will can a father have towards his son?
He will only try his best to make up for it.
As the core figure of the Kled tribe and the person most trusted by the Black Robe King, Vulture Flower understands this relationship.
Otherwise, he would not have been sent as an envoy to visit.
A tiger father has no dog sons!
This Majesty is also quite powerful. During the confrontation at the court meeting just now, he really realized how powerful this Majesty is.
Even if you don't have this kind of relationship, you should still win over them, it's a must.
But now we are closer.
Thinking like this, Tuluhua spoke again: "Don't worry, our Kled tribe will stand with you no matter what time!"
What he said was extremely firm.
Guan Ning was slightly startled, he could feel the sincerity in these words.
He looked at the contract before him.
This was brought by Tuluhua, and the black-robed king's name and seal were signed on it.
Strictly speaking, this is a contract that is completely beneficial to Dakang.
It's a contract rather than a covenant.
Because not both parties are responsible, but only unilaterally perform their obligations.
And only the Kled tribe fulfills it, just like what Vulture Flower said before.
Every year, at least no less than 3,000 war horses must be provided to Dakang...
War horses are highly prized among the barbarians.
Guan Ning looked at it carefully and found that this contract had favorable conditions for Dakang, and he did not need to pay anything...
"There's something wrong with this contract."
"Is there a problem?"
Tuluhua was slightly startled.
"What's the problem?"
"It's unfair to only mention the obligations of your Kelie tribe but not a word about Dakang."
Guan Ning shook his head and said: "Since it is a contract, it should be based on the principle of fairness and justice, so that it can last long."
There is no problem in saying that.
But Tuluhua said directly: "No need!"
"How can it be unnecessary?"
Guan Ning said: "This contract should be supplemented. In the area controlled by the Klei tribe, the two sides will remove trade barriers and allow the two places to trade and exchange goods."
Tuluhua's eyes lit up.
This condition is beneficial to both parties.
Wild cattle, sheep and corresponding accessories are rare things for the Central Plains countries.
Tea, silk, cloth, porcelain, etc. from the Central Plains countries were all luxuries in the wilderness.
Some businessmen will take risks to make money, but trade between the two places does have a positive effect on promoting the development of the two places...
The key is that this is the first time the two places have officially opened trade, which is of great significance!
The ultimate goal of war is for peaceful reunification.
It is unrealistic to completely exterminate a race through war.
Now that this condition exists, a more appropriate solution should be sought.
This is an opportunity.
The Kelie tribe is close to Dakang and supports him to support Dakang's interests, especially under the current situation.
Dakang’s main enemy countries are Wei and Liang!
The Vulture Flower is a little surprising.
Guan Ning continued: "Dakang can provide a certain amount of weapons and equipment for the barbarians if conditions permit!"
"Really?"
The vulture flower was even more surprising.
To be continued...
