All the tied people were loosened and sat on the cloth blanket one by one. Baigui was the great elder of Baima Qiang. Although he was not on the same branch as the original Baima Qiang Lao Wang, his strength in Baima Qiang cannot be underestimated.

When Dong Hu came for the first time, he killed Ganlang Qiang. Because Lang Meng often plundered the Baima Qiang people, he has always been the object of Baima Qiang's extreme dislike. It was because of the attitude of Lao Wang of Baima Qiang that he kept Ganlang Qiang. When Dong Hu killed Lang Meng, he naturally received considerable courtesy.

When he came the second time, he pushed the Qiang people in the Hehuang Valley to kill each other. He killed most of the Qiang on the plateau, Shaodang Qiang, which also caused concerns about the Baima Qiang, fearing that he was too ambitious and annexed the Baima Qiang again, so he wanted to force him to take Ajie, who was not yet ten years old.

When he came to Baima Qiang for the second time, he noticed the fierce internal struggle of Baima Qiang. The root of the internal struggle lies with Ahe. Ahe is the son of Baihu, the eldest son of Baima Qiang, when Baihu died of illness, Ahe and Ajie were still young. According to the Qiang people's rules of "father died and son succeeded, brothers ended with brothers and brothers", Baihu's wives, concubines, cattle and sheep, tribes..., including Ahe, all became Baiya's property. However, after Ahe became an adult, Baiya wanted to return his brother Baihu's property to Ahe. The key is that Baiya did not return Baihu's property to Ahe!

Lao Wang is seriously ill and no one knows how long he can live. If Bai Ya returns Baihu's property to Ahe, his strength has been cut by half. He can't even ascend to the throne of the White Horse Qiang King.

If Bai Ya returns the property, he will lose the throne of the Qiang King. If he doesn't return it, it will break the tradition of the Qiang people and break the rules. Others who have the strength to compete for the throne of the Qiang King are naturally unwilling to cheat Bai Ya. There must be a wave of people in the clan who are extremely dissatisfied with this, and internal fighting is almost inevitable.

Of course, this is Baima Qiang’s own business. Dong Hu himself was still unable to determine whether he could gain a foothold in the Hehuang Valley that day, so how could he care about so much?

Before the war started, Baima Qiang had enough chips to bargain. He was defeated and lost the pride he had taken his bet on him back then. He looked down and said nothing...

"Originally, we wanted to mediate the conflict between Ya Shu and Ahe, and then set up a few chieftain kings. For example, our two ten thousand tents can set up two chieftain kings, Baima Qiang, Dajinchuan Mountain Qiang, and Bainiu Qiang can set up a chieftain king."

Everyone was confused for a while, but everyone was careful to prick their ears, but they saw Dong Hu and Bai Gui smiled bitterly.

"I'm not hiding the ghost uncle, our Huwa has asked the court to set up a plateau protector's palace. Everyone takes turns to do it... In fact, it's just taking turns to make a clay sculpture. Everyone discusses what happens to each tribe, but the matters discussed are all external, such as if we are going to fight with whom, whether to send troops, how many troops are sent..."

"Of course, if a tribe rebels or rebellion occurs, everyone can gather together to discuss. If you think it is indeed a rebellion and should send troops to help quell the rebellion, then everyone will send troops together."

Bai Gui frowned. As an old nobleman of the plateau Qiang, he naturally knew which major tribes were on the plateau, such as the mountain Qiang of the Dajinchuan tribes near the vassal state of Shu County, including Daji, Longqiao, Boshen and other mountain Qiang; such as the Bainiu Qiang near Yueli County in Yizhou.

Yak Qiang lives in the Jinsha River valley, Nulan River Valley, and thousands of miles west are the Tang Qiang and Fa Qiang of the Qiangtang Grassland. Tang Qiang and Fa Qiang are also part of the Western Qiang. When the Han Dynasty broke out in the war with the Western Qiang, the Western Qiang was defeated. He went south by the Cizhi River. After crossing the Tanggula Mountain, he ran to the Western Qiang in Lhasa in later generations, that is, to the south of the Tanggula Mountain (Tanggula Mountain, south of the Gangdisi Mountain), and to the territory of Xiangxiong Kingdom.

Bai Gui is an old man from the Qiang area on the plateau. He is familiar with the Qiang area on the plateau. After listening to Dong Hu's words, his brows became more and more tight, and he couldn't help but speak.

"The white ghost understood the king's meaning, but... it's just that the Dajiang, Longqiao, Boshen, Yak Qiang, Fa Qiang, Tang Qiang, and Tang Qiang are too far apart. If they get together, it may take a year, so long..."

Bai Gui smacked his lips repeatedly, obviously thinking that the Plateau Protectorate was impossible, and Dong Hu agreed quite well.

The plateau is rarely visited, and 80% of the population is concentrated in the edge of the plateau. Starting from the southernmost Kushan Kingdom, along the southern part of the country, along the edge of Tianzhu, Panyue Kingdom, southern, northern, and Liangzhou, 80% of the population of the plateau survive along such marginal areas. The center of the plateau is actually very small.

There are very few people, no one is inhabited for thousands of miles, or some small tribes are very small and scattered. In this way, not only will they not be able to obtain supplies along the way, but even if they drive away countless cattle and sheep, they will not be able to avoid bad weather along the way. Once cattle and sheep are exposed to the cold, they will easily freeze to death. In this way, there is no way to march thousands of miles away, unless a tribe of supply station is set up along the way, and the Cizhihe Ten Thousand Tents have been doing this.

The Ministry of Giving Zhihe Ten Thousand Tents was established under the Ministry of Giving Zhihe Ten Thousand Tents, namely the Ganlang Valley, the Ministry of Giving Zhihe Qu, and the Ministry of Giving Zhihe Head, the Ministry of Giving Zhihe Head.

After a large-scale rebellion by the Qiang people in Liangzhou, in order to allow the people of Lintao to successfully enter the Hehuang Valley and to quickly mobilize troops from the two places, small tribes of supply station nature were established on the thousands of miles from the Ganlang Valley to the Cizhi Hequ.

In addition, some small tribes of supply station nature were also established on the road from Cizhihequ to Cizhiheshou. Cizhiheshou crossed the Bayankala Mountain and went westward, crossed the Tanggula Mountain, occupying the northern part of the mountain. Along the way, small tribes of supply station nature were needed to be established.

Dong Hu was not worried about occupying the Xiangxiong Kingdom in Shannan. What he was worried about was the Faqiang and Tang Qiang who fled into Shannan.

Xiangxiong Kingdom was the local overlord of the plateau and occupied the plateau for countless years, but he never had the intention to invade the Central Plains north and east. Instead, he influenced the Western Regions west and entered Tianzhu south. The Eastern Empire was not the strategic center of Xiangxiong Kingdom, but the Qiang, Tang and Qiang, were different. These two Qiang tribes were the result of the war between the Han Dynasty and the Western Qiang in Hehuang. They were tribes who were forced to climb the plateau and escape the war south after being defeated by the Han Dynasty.

For Dong Hu, the Qiang people like to make trouble, and the Qiang people on the plateau are even more stubborn. The clues can be seen from the Shaodang Qiang. They obviously could not defeat the Han Dynasty, but they fought with the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Xiangxiong Kingdom had no ambition to invade the Central Plains. Their strategic focus was not on the Central Plains. However, the ancestors of the Tubo people merged with the Qiang, and the Tang and Qiang people were different. They had the idea of ​​fighting with the Central Plains dynasty. Dong Hu naturally did not want to see such a scene. He naturally thought of extending to the south and south of the mountain to the north, and then extinguishing this danger.

I thought so, but he knew very well that this was not a matter of ten or eight years, and it would be difficult for him to completely control the many tribes in Shannan throughout his life.

But no matter what, some strategic layouts should be made in advance, and he needs to pave the way for future generations. At least, supply stations from Liangzhou to Shannan should be established so that they can quickly send troops to reinforce or attack.

Dong Hu agreed with Agui's words very much. It was difficult for various plateau Qiang tribes to gather together, but his purpose was not here. He came to Agui in front of everyone and sat down with a more sincere smile on his face.

"The Plateau Protectorate is just that. It's an empty stand, a plateau king like clay sculptures, and it's impossible to truly supervise the tribes of the Plateau."

"But, whether or not this clay sculpture or wood sculpture has different significance for the tribes on the plateau."

Dong Hu held up the wine pot and poured the wine for the elder Baima Qiang, and smiled and said, "The tribes are scattered and they are all in charge of themselves. If everyone doesn't meet each other, you live your life and we will do whatever we want. But what if the two meet? What if there is a dispute? Just like Ah He found us, Uncle Ya and Uncle Gui, you feel that you must go to war with us."

"But once the war begins, it is difficult to end. One side will often fall down completely before it can end. But if the Qiang tribes gather together, we will discuss a code to clearly stipulate these things, such as where your tribe is, what punishment will others be if they run to the Baima Qiang territory to grazle, what punishment will you be? What punishment will you be punished by the Baima Qiang voluntarily killing the envoy of my Dong tribe and provoking the war, what kind of punishment will you be punished by the Chieftain King, what kind of constraints will the Chieftain be subject to the subordinate chieftains, etc."

"The big guys understand the rules and follow the big guy's rules. Even if there is a conflict between the two chieftain kings, and under the mediation of the other chieftain kings, there will be no war or so many people die?"

"The conflict between the King of Tusi and the King of Tusi is like this. There are conflicts between the chieftains under the King of Tusi. For example, when Ya Shu and Ah have a conflict, how should we use to resolve the conflict? Is the method really fair? Can it convince the people of the tribe?"

"King of Tusi, is the inheritance of Tusi hereditary descendants? Or is it the strongest in the tribe who are respected? Or is it all the tribes who raise their hands to vote for inheritance? If it is inherited, after the old king of Baima Qiang died of illness, Ya Shu will be the unquestionable King of Baima Qiang. If the strongest ones are respected, how can we ensure fairness and justice? These things need to be discussed."

Bai Gui's heart beat violently, but Dong Hu seemed to have not paid attention to his expression, and looked at Bai Ya for disappointment and shook his head.

"If Ah He had not found us, we still felt that the plateau would not need a "Code" that everyone recognized. As Gui Uncle said, the larger Qiang tribes of all parties were far apart, and there were few opportunities to collide with each other. But when the Baima Qiang had a conflict with us, we felt that we needed a rule that everyone would abide by."

"Originally, we tended to be the King of Tusi. How many chieftains are there under it? After reporting it to the court, even if it is decided in the future, now, we are more willing to choose a chieftain king of Tusi by Baima Qiang himself... Of course, if the people of Baima Qiang are willing to choose Ya Shu to continue to be the King of Tusi, then we will definitely not object. As for the future... King of Tusi, will Tusi be hereditary? Or is the strong respected? Or will the whole tribe elect himself? We think... the chieftains and chieftains of various tribes gathered together to discuss."

"Don't say who bullies whom. Whether you raise your hand to agree or not, if you agree more, then we will listen to whom!"

The white ghost suddenly stood up, his face full of red light as if he was ten years younger.

"Whatever the king says, the Baima Qiang will do it. The villain will summon his clan members today and select the Tusi King as soon as possible. The chieftains of each tribe will come!"
