The three tribes of Tianzhu bought their own ranches! "
"The three tribes of Tianzhu have joined the Tang dynasty!"
Everyone was stunned when the news spread from the Qinghai Prairie. The three tribes of Tianzhu had a blood feud with the Tang dynasty before, but no one expected the two sides to join forces.
Everyone knew the situation of the three tribes of Tianzhu. They were almost destined to die out. The strong preyed on the weak. This was the rule of the prairie, and no one could stop it. However, who would have thought that the three tribes of Tianzhu would take an ingenious approach to survive and join the Tang dynasty!
A sheep was 100 mu, a cow was 1,000 mu, and a horse was 2,000 mu! The price of the three tribes of Tianzhu quickly spread throughout the prairie. To be honest, if this price was a normal transaction, the three tribes of Tianzhu would have made a huge profit instead of a loss.
However, the Tang dynasty was trying to gain something without risking anything. They directly exchanged a large number of livestock for the three tribes of Tianzhu with a promise.
Seeing the large number of cattle and sheep driven away by the Tang Army, Meng Tu's heart was bleeding. This was the wealth that he was about to get, but now it was all given to the Han people.
"Chief! That old fox Dava actually dared to pretend to be obedient! When the Tang Army leaves, we will definitely teach him a lesson, "a tribesman beside Meng Tu said angrily.
Meng Tu suddenly turned around and slapped the tribesman's face. He said angrily, "Teach him a lesson! Do you want our Meng Tu tribe to be sacrificed to the Tang Army like the Tuoba tribe? "
By now, everyone knew that the Azure Sea was under the rule of the Great Tang. As long as the Great Tang supported the Heaven Pillar Tribe, no one in the Azure Sea would dare to touch the Heaven Pillar Tribe. After all, the example of the Tuoba Tribe was before them. Anyone who dared to raise a blade against the Great Tang was an enemy of the Great Tang.
The Tang dynasty had also announced that anyone who dared to invade the ranches of the three tribes of Tianzhu was provoking the Tang dynasty.
With the example of Fu Yun and Tuoba Chici, no one in Qinghai would dare to go against the authority of the Tang Army.
"But the pastures of my Montu tribe are barren. This is a rare opportunity. If we miss it, I'm afraid there won't be another one!" The Montu tribe was originally just a vassal of the Tianzhu tribe. Naturally, their pasture was not much better. Having a good pasture was the greatest wish of all the pasture herdsmen.
Meng Tu was conflicted, his face uncertain. After a while, he lifted his head and said, "Actually, it's not like we don't have a chance to get a good farm."
The clansman couldn't help but look at Meng Tu happily.
Meng Tu gritted his teeth and said, "Since the Heavenly Pillar tribe can buy the ranch, so can my Meng Tu tribe."
"We're buying ranches too?" The clansmen asked in disbelief.
"That's right, let's buy Mandu Mountain Ranch!" Meng Tu made the final decision.
"Mandu Mountain Pasture?" The tribesman's eyes lit up. Such an excellent pasture was something the Montu tribe had never dared to dream of.
"Go! We'll go look for General Tang as well! "Meng Tu said without hesitation.
Soon, the news that the Montu tribe had bought one-tenth of the Mandu Mountain Pasture and reserved one-third of the pasture. They would pay with cattle and sheep in five years once again spread throughout the Qinghai region.
The Mandu Mountain Pasture was a rare and excellent pasture in the Qinghai region. In the past, it used to be the land of Fu Yun's tribe. Ordinary tribes didn't even dare to think about it. Now, one-third of it had been taken by an ordinary Tuyuhun tribe.
"Then the remaining two-thirds …"
"And the rest of the pasture?"
…
At this time, the small and medium-sized tribes in the Qinghai region suddenly heard the news. For a small tribe, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the past, no matter how many cattle and sheep they had, they couldn't get a good pasture. They could only survive in the cracks.
However, this time, the Tang Army gave the small tribes a chance to expand by offering them preferential prices. Moreover, they were able to reserve several times more ranches and receive the protection of the Tang Army. They would not be bullied by the big tribes. For some small and medium-sized tribes, this was a great opportunity.
There were also some pasture disputes between tribes. Whoever provided cattle and sheep would be directly awarded by the Tang Army.
The Tuyuhun tribes in the Qinghai Grassland had always been engaged in extremely primitive nomadism. In addition to the customary territory, their social structure was extremely primitive public ownership. When Meton showed the privately owned pasture in front of them, it suddenly swept across the entire Qinghai Lake like a storm!
Soon, a large number of excellent pasture lands such as the Mandu Mountain Pasture, Hulun River, and Qinghai Pasture were divided up by some small and medium-sized tribes. The terrain here was flat, the climate was good, the pasture was lush, and the water was abundant. With the protection of the Tang Army, it could be said that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these small and medium-sized tribes.
The small and medium-sized tribes cheered and took the opportunity to move. However, the large Tuyuhun tribes were extremely united. They had their own excellent pasture lands, so they were not moved at all.
However, five days later, a large tribe in Xingxiu River came down. After handing over a large number of livestock to the Tang Army, they occupied a pasture left behind by a large tribe that had left far away. This completely broke the peace of the large tribes.
"Hulun tribe, you are simply courting death. How dare you occupy the pasture of my Mantu tribe instead of staying in Xingxiu River!" The Mantu leader roared. After he received the news that the pasture was occupied, he immediately led the warriors of his tribe back to question the Hulun tribe.
"Mantu! Do you know what kind of place Xingxiu River is? It has frost in summer and snow in August. Cattle and sheep can only eat grass for four months. Only 30% of the newborns in my tribe survive. Now that we have a chance to return to Qinghai Lake, of course we won't let it go! "the Hulun leader said sternly.
The climate in Xingxiu River was really too bad. Compared to Xingxiu River, Qinghai Lake was like heaven on earth. When the Hulun tribe heard that the Tang Dynasty was selling livestock for pasture lands, they did not hesitate and immediately moved to Qinghai Lake.
The Mantu leader roared angrily, "Even so, you can't take the pasture of my tribe."
The Hulun leader sneered and said, "The pasture of the Mantu tribe. Thirty years ago, this was the pasture of my Hulun tribe. When your Mantu tribe saw that my Hulun tribe was greatly weakened, you forcibly took it over. Moreover, this time, it was not the Hulun tribe that took it. We exchanged cattle and sheep for it from the Tang Dynasty."
The Hulun leader's face was full of anger. If the Mantu tribe did not force him, he would not have been able to hide in the terrible Xingxiu River for thirty years and suffered all kinds of hardships.
The leader of the Mantu tribe could not help but be stunned. He naturally remembered what had happened back then. The Mantu tribe had gradually grown stronger because they had taken over the Hulun tribe's pastures. Although that was in the past, the Mantu tribe would not be willing to give up their pastures.
"Cut the crap. Even the Tang Dynasty can't take my pasture. Today, your Hulun tribe must return the pasture. Otherwise, don't blame my Mantu tribe for being rude," the Mantu leader said with a ferocious expression. If they lost the pasture, the Mantu tribe would definitely decline very quickly. They might as well fight to the death today.
The Hulun tribe at the side was not to be outdone. The herdsmen rushed over and took out their scimitars. A great battle was about to break out.
"Boom!"
Tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty cavalry rushed over and crashed into the two tribes that were confronting each other.
"Stop!"
With a loud shout, the Messenger of Peace, Mo Jiazi, appeared on the scene.
