This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

140 Threat
After Wang Dong changed his clothes, he picked up a wine bottle, went out, picked up a handful of dirt on the ground, and smeared it on his face. After feeling that he was no longer attracting attention, he went to Murong Ji's tent.

There was no option to trigger the task along the way, Wang Dong calmly walked past the crowd, and went directly into Murong Ji's tent. Seeing his attire, the guards at the gate probably thought he was also a nobleman who came to attend the meeting, and did not stop him.

Walking into the tent, I saw that the place inside was quite large and the scene was chaotic. A dozen big men were sitting in groups of three or four, and the man in the middle standing tall on a tiger skin was in his early forties, tall and strong, probably Murong Ji. up.

Wang Dong silently walked to a small group. When those people looked over, Wang Dong nodded and smiled at them, pointed to the jug in his hand, and then poured a glass of wine for one of the middle-aged people. .

Seeing this, the few people thought that Wang Dong was a nobleman from some tribe who came to say hello. When they saw him pouring wine for themselves, they smiled, toasted and drank it all, and then said thank you.However, Wang Dong could only tell that their language was a Tibetan language, but he couldn't understand the specifics. They were probably praising his wine or something. Wang Dong could only smile and nod. He didn't understand and didn't care, so he pulled Wang Dong to sit down, and Wang Dong sat down at the table.

At this moment, Murong Ji, who was in the first place, knocked on the table with a gold cup, everyone fell silent, Murong Ji spoke, and the four people in the tent also spoke at the same time, translating his words into four languages.

Wang Dong nodded secretly in his heart, and there is real-time translation. Murongji really has something to pull off such a ostentation on the grassland these days.

I just heard Murong Ji say: "Our cavalry unit was found, it was ambushed by the Tang army in the valley [-] miles ahead, no one survived, most likely they were captured by the Tang people."

He probably didn't tell everyone the news when he was having dinner before. As soon as he said the words, the tent couldn't help being quiet for a while, and then there were surprised discussions in various languages.

Murong Ji smiled and pressed his palms to make everyone stop, and then signaled the prince sitting on the left to speak first.

The young man stood up and asked doubtfully, "Didn't it mean that there were only a few dozen Tang people? How could it fail? Where are the dozen or so cavalry from our Bailan tribe now?"

Wang Dong secretly thought about the background of this person, Bai Lanqiang, whose territory was in the Qinghai generation of later generations, was later annexed by Tubo, so he can be regarded as a power in this area at this time.

Murong Ji said: "Either he was killed or captured."

Several people in Bai Lanqiang became excited in an instant.

"You said it was safe, we just dispatched soldiers, but among the dozen or so cavalry, there are my personal warriors? King Hanhai, what did you do?"

Their words were also translated, which immediately aroused dissatisfaction among other Wang Gong.

Murongji listened silently, and when they finished speaking, he suddenly put away his smiling face, slapped the table and said angrily:

"Is it unbearable if more than a dozen of you die? I lost forty elite cavalry, and my brother, General Zuo Hunhe, was also killed. What is your loss worth?"

He stood up immediately, pointed to the northwest and said: "That's the Tang Army. Are you stupid? After fighting a few easy battles with King Hanhai's army, do you think that the Tang Army is really vulnerable?"

"We must know that 100 Tang troops can eat more than [-] cavalry. The Tang people gathered all the soldiers in Longxi, wiped out Murong Yun in two months, and entered Fu'ai City! This is the true strength of our opponent!"

His words left everyone speechless. At this moment, everyone seemed to remember that they had been so proud these past few days. In fact, they only relied on sneak attacks to defeat a squad of several hundred people from the Tang Army. And the real Tang Army They didn't even dare to touch the main force.

Everyone obviously reacted, and then they were deeply worried.

A Xianbei man asked: "This...how can we fight this?"

Murong Yun smiled and spread his five fingers: "I want you to give me another five thousand soldiers. I will help you block the Tang army."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was a lot of dissatisfaction.

Only listen to the complaints in various languages ​​in the account.

"5000 people, are you crazy?"

"There are two soldiers in one tent, and five thousand soldiers are the support of more than 2000 tents. How can we have so many people for you?"

"It's fine if you win, but you dare to ask for soldiers if you lose?"

Murong Ji said: "You don't need to believe me, but think about it carefully, if you don't give people, there will be no warrior like me in Tuyuhun who can resist the Tang people."

"Who will lose at that time? The Bailan tribe, Tubo, the countries of the Western Regions, and the Tiele tribe, heh, they will arrive at your door at that time."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone on the field became quiet again.In fact, everyone knew the reason. The reason why they came to help out was not simply to continue to rob Datang in the future, let alone to care about Tuyuhun Guozuo, but because the location of Tuyuhun was so important.This is the intersection of Gansu, Qinghai, and Sichuan and Tibet. Many ethnic groups need such a place as a buffer zone for the Central Plains dynasty, otherwise no one will be able to live well.

Murong Ji looked at everyone present, smiled and sat down.

He knows what his trump card is. He takes a fancy to the position of the leader of the anti-Tang forces in Tuyuhun, not because of how powerful he is, but because the objective needs in Tuyuhun will definitely create such a force. Now the two sides need each other. Well, not only Murongji needs the support of the kings and surrounding forces, but these people also need him.He is not a slave who herds sheep and does white labor for others. Since everyone needs each other, these people have to give him enough benefits.

Murongji was naturally surprised that those fleeing Tang troops were able to ambush and defeat his cavalry, but after receiving the news and thinking about it, he didn't feel too heartbroken. The loss of more than 100 people is not small, but if it can be used to tell No matter how powerful the Tang people are, it is not worth it.

Murong Ji said: "Now the people of Tang want to seal Murong Nuohebo as the new Tuyuhun Khan. In the future, he must be allowed to move in with his tribe, and gradually let us Tuyuhun people get used to coexisting with Han people. After a few generations, most Tuyuhun people They have already lived and grown together with the Han people. All the sources of food and clothing have been obtained from labor and trade with the Han people since childhood. At that time, the relationship between the two people is like brothers. Since they can trade and get all kinds of things, how can the Tuyuhun people pay back Do you have the idea of ​​robbing the Tang people? It’s not for your own food and clothing. At that time, if other ethnic groups came to rob the Tang people, the Tuyuhun people would cooperate with the Tang people and help them guard the state capital.”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

A Turkic man couldn't help but fear: "This...how can this be done? At that time, they were still helping the Tang people to guard against us Turks? Wouldn't it be difficult for us to cross the border through Tuyuhun?"

Murongji laughed loudly: "Oh, it's more than a precaution? Believe it or not, within three generations, they can seal the Tuyuhun people as governors and take the Tuyuhun soldiers to conquer the Turks!"

Everyone was horrified. If what Murong Ji said happened, the surrounding forces would naturally be worried about the expansion of the Tang Dynasty's influence, and the Tuyuhun nobles realized that their great power came from being able to control everything in the tribe, but if they If the tribal people become the border people of the Tang Dynasty, the power of their tribal leaders will be greatly reduced. In the end, they may become like the governors and state officials of the Tang Dynasty, who can only have some privileges for the tribal people.

But if that happens, their power stability will be greatly reduced. If one day their children and grandchildren can't keep their family business, then the tribal people under them will be gone. It is impossible for slaves to survive elsewhere. In this case, won’t the ancestral family property one day be lost?

Wang Dong saw that everyone was discussing, and after discussing for a while, the young man from Bailan Qiang stood up first, and said: "How will King Hanhai attack Tang when he has someone?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Murong Ji, yes, if you want someone, let's talk about whether his plan is feasible.

Murong Ji seemed to have known this question, and said confidently: "I will send people to various tribes to kill the Han people there, kill the Tuyuhun tribe who are close to the Han people, and make them make a promise not to cooperate with the Tang people, and make it public. "

The young man frowned and said, "What's the use? They can go back on their promises."

Murongji laughed and said, "You can go back on your promise, but if you kill too many, how can the Han people have no grudges against the Tuyuhun people?"
