Apozi ate candy while crying, then wiped away his tears, and said, "Your Highness, if you have something to do, please ask! Although I have done a lot of cover here, I can't stay here for a long time."

In order to get them to get in, many tribe members from the small tribe alliance came into the periphery of the military camp, drinking and having fun with the Yulin Guards and Qianniu Guards.

Even they themselves came into the tunnel they dug in the afternoon, but Apozi still felt that it was not safe.

Liu Mingqi looked slightly and said, "What I want to ask, you should know what their plans are this time? What is their sincerity? What is the bottom line?"

Apozi replied: "They actually have a lot of disputes. For example, the Guli tribe did not agree to go to Dakang because there were too many constraints, so it was better to be free on the grassland. Some Dayue tribes also felt that they should unite and let Dakang give more benefits. It is best to stay together so that they can have the power to protect themselves... and so on.

But in the end, they all think that the Uighurs are under too much pressure. Maybe this summer, they will march south and directly destroy them, rob their wealth and population, and make the small tribe alliance completely become slaves of the Uighurs. So they are still willing to surrender to our great prosperity.

But as I said just now, they have a lot of worries and lack of security, and may ask for more things! For example, territory, money, food, supplies, etc. I don’t know much about these specific things, because only 20 or 30 elders and patriarchs held a secret meeting to discuss them.”

"Why do you have to come here?" Liu Mingqi asked.

"Because they are afraid!" Apozi said: "Although the officials of Dakang are kind, they are doing business. If they were in war, they would not be regarded as human beings at all.

They were afraid that after Dakang tricked them into the territory, they immediately dealt with them, killed all their leaders and elders, and forced the small tribe alliance to be split, and then they could not preserve the uniqueness and inheritance of their own nation!

Your Highness, you may not know that although they are small tribes, they are extremely stubborn and pious about their tribe heritage, and sometimes they are even more important than their lives."

Liu Mingqi smiled and said nothing.

He is more clear about the inheritance of these tribes than Apozi.

This situation is even more serious in modern times, but those people have encountered good times, so they are not as miserable as in ancient times.

Now it's really good enough.

If it were two thousand years ago and when the great fusion was just now, would you please let them give it a try?

That may be really just a direct split and forced integration.

Thoughts flashed by, Liu Mingqi said, "So they think I am the one who keeps my word and can guarantee them that I am here?"

Apozi was stunned, "Yes, they just want you, the saint, to endorse them... Don't you think so?"

"I think so too."

Liu Mingqi nodded quietly.

This reason is good, but not sufficient.

Of course, we can't say that there is anything to be puzzled about.

"Have you sent someone to contact them recently, the Uighurs, the Western Qiang, or the Tubo?" the young man continued to ask.

The former small tribal alliance was weak, poor and small.

But they have been developing continuously over the years, and everyone knows that they have saved a little by relying on doing business with Dakang.

Now after a big battle, the Uighurs not only did not get any benefits, but also suffered huge losses. It is normal to think about scraping some oil and water from them.

As for the Western Qiang, they are not so close to the Uighurs. Maybe they will contact the small tribe alliance, hoping to gain their resignation, increase their strength, and weaken the Uighurs' power.

The same is true for Tubo.

The small tribe alliance is actually quite close to them.

Although Tubo often rushed over to rob and kill, he did not come to the small tribe alliance. Instead, both sides did a lot of business.

The Uighurs are now suffering huge losses. So it is possible that Tubo is thinking of gathering a small tribal alliance, weakening the Uighurs' strength, and increasing its bridgehead in the north.

Apozi is not an ordinary herder.

He is not only the best among the secret spies of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but also has Dakang's secret support.

So in more than ten years, he has become a leader of the Eleng tribe, with more than a thousand herders and a senior management, second only to several big-headed men, elders and leaders.

Not only Apozi, but the rest of the spies are like this.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the herdsmen are, they are just cannon fodder, and they will never be able to access information and movements from senior management.

Also because they were senior executives, they moved to Liu Mingqi and the elders tonight to the tent of Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing, and there was the opportunity to meet and report with Liu Mingqi and the others.

Therefore, Liu Mingqi asked about the senior management contacts, which must be impossible to hide from him.

Upon hearing this, Apozi said: "The Uighurs had an envoy coming, just in early winter last year. However, they did not seek the recruitment, but asked the small tribe alliance to find opportunities to trade with Dakang, and increased the filial piety amount three times this year. It included 50,000 horses, 100,000 cattle, horses and sheep, and 5,000 warriors to transfer Uighur headquarters to command the Uighur headquarters. The time is uncertain."

Liu Mingqi laughed in silence, "This Uighur is too cruel, no wonder they can't help it."

Such harsh conditions simply treat the small tribe alliance as a slave, and no matter who is dependent on it, you will feel resentful.

Especially the small tribe alliance, which has some strength and lives a good life, the resentment in their hearts is even stronger.

It doesn't matter if you're used to living a poor life, but it's just that anyway.

But if you change them from poor days to good days and then back to poor days, then many people will definitely not want to.

There is not much loyalty or cohesion on the grassland.

Everything is based on living.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many tribes that were destroyed, their prime men joined the Conqueror and began to destroy new tribes.

Without a way out, the small tribe alliance will definitely admit defeat and honestly hand over their filial piety, otherwise they will lose more.

But now they think about seeking refuge in Dakang, so they will naturally have comparisons and weigh the pros and cons in their hearts.

With this bargaining factor, Liu Mingqi's idea of ​​surrendering to the small tribe alliance is more understandable.

"Your Highness, in fact, the small tribe alliance has more property than I imagined. All of them are good at herding horses and cattle breeding. If they can be incorporated into my Dakang, they will definitely make great contributions to my Dakang's border." Apozi said: "Besides, this not only increases our strength, but also weakens the strength on the grassland. The villain thinks this time is definitely an opportunity!"

"That's the reason."

Liu Mingqi was very calm, "Our sincerity itself is very sufficient, otherwise I would not have come here with King Wu himself... But what's going on? I have to wait until the talk in the past few days before talking."

Apozi jaw head.

If you want to bring a small tribe alliance to Dakang, it is definitely not that simple.

However, Liu Mingqi's attitude made a big rock fall into the ground.

Unconsciously, his eyes were red again and he bowed down: "If you succeed, Apozi will eventually return to Dakang again. It's a blessing to heaven!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Liu Mingqi patted his shoulder, "You are all silently making contributions to Dakang and sacrificing a lot of things... Dakang will not forget you!"

Apozi's voice cried: "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

He can no longer speak any other words.

...

Through the cover of the inspection guards, Liu Mingqi and Dazhu and the others returned to his tent smoothly.

At this time, Liu Mingjing, Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin had already returned and were chatting in a low voice.

"How is it?" Liu Mingjing asked first, "It's nothing?"

"I can't see anything strange at the moment." Liu Mingqi took off her robe and showed her face, "Where are you?"

“So we do.”

Liu Mingjing said it again and they checked the news and said what they heard.

The general news is similar to what Liu Mingqi heard, the main factors and contradictions, as well as their desires, are similar.

Hearing Liu Mingqi talked about the conversation with Apozi, Xiong Dabao said: "So can we judge now that they really really surrendered this time and can concentrate on the specific conditions for negotiation?"

"This is definitely the process tomorrow." Liu Mingqi said in a deep thought, "but you can't relax your vigilance, especially hot air balloons, you can't relax."

Their camp was outside the camp of the small tribe alliance group, but the area was not small. When the hot air balloon fell to rest, it fell directly into the middle of the camp.

When the fire-breathing hot air balloon landed, many warriors and women from the small tribe alliance watched from a distance, and many people even knelt on the ground and bowed, obviously thinking it was something like a demon or a ghost.

"Don't worry, according to the method you taught me, day and night, I don't believe that the enemy can fall from the sky or climb out from the ground." Liu Mingjing laughed and said, "Mingqi, you were so bold when you came out, why did you become more and more timid when you arrived at the place?"

"Your Highness is not timid, but cautious." Zhang Qin shook his head and said, "Your Highness Wu, Your Highness De, bears a heavy responsibility, and it is also related to the prosperity of our great prosperity. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is not too much to be careful."

"yes!"

Xiong Dabao said, "Otherwise, there would not be only half of the Yulin Guards and Qianniu Guards outside.

There were three thousand elite guards, except for half of whom were sleeping, the rest were patrolling the tent, or replaced those scouts who had been scattered for dozens of miles...

Regarding such strict defense, Liu Mingjing sighed: "If His Royal Highness's guard was so cautious, how could he have today's worries?"

"The prince was not outside the territory, but in my Dakang territory." Liu Mingqi said, "Besides, where were there hot air balloons at that time, and where were the defensive measures I formulated?"

Xiong Dabao laughed silently, "Yes, Mingqi, you, monkey spirit, monkey spirit... no, monkeys are not as smart as you! With your operation like this, we will write a booklet in the future so that the emperor, the prince, and even all important personnel can use it as appropriate! From this point of view, you have made another contribution to Dakang!"

"Don't say that well, I'm just afraid of death." Liu Mingqi shrugged, "I just married a few wives, but I didn't even have an egg, so I dare not die!"

"Haha, then you are not as good as me!" Liu Mingjing said: "I am a sharpshooter. Please wait and see. You can hear the news that my wife is pregnant when she goes back!"

"Bah!"

Liu Mingqi gestured a middle finger.

This kid is also bragging.

After all, I was a boy before, so I am so stable that it is better for women to get pregnant.

It doesn’t look like Liu Mingjing, I have long known how many descendants have been spreading.

People who don’t understand modern medicine are ignorant!

Despise it!!
