The envoy of the Ministry of Yeli galloped all the way back.
Out of Jiangxin City, more than 100 miles to the south, on the territory of the original Black Yeli Department, there was a camp.
The remaining six Yeli tribes gathered 10,000 soldiers here at an unprecedented speed, without bringing women and children, not even with them.
The leaders of the six Yeli tribes are all ready to salute first and then soldiers.
If the Tang people of Taozhou return the Black Yeli Ministry, then the matter will be settled.
Otherwise, they will jointly attack Taozhou.
"What does the history of the Tang Dynasty say?"
The messenger 1510 said it all.
"Zhang Wenyuan really said that," asked an old man with a snow-white beard.
This old man's beard is snow-white, and even his robe is white, he is the great leader of the seven tribes of Yeli, the Hexi Hou Yelizhen of the Tuyuhun Khanate.
At the same time, he is also the leader of the Bai Yeli Department in the three middle and upper gorges of the Seven Yeli Divisions, and he is also the servant of Tuyuhun.
It was precisely because of him that the Sixth Department of Yeli did not rush to Taozhou this time, but stopped here first and sent an envoy over.
"Old Marquis, this Zhang Wenyuan is too arrogant, let the warriors enter Taozhou and slaughter the city."
A strong man in a green robe opened his mouth and said loudly, he was the leader of the Qingye Li Clan.
There are seven parts of Yeli, which are divided into three parts of the upper gorge and four parts of the lower gorge.
However, that was when they were still in the Tao River area, and they had long lost the upper and lower gorges.
After retreating to the land of Henan, they began to distinguish by the colors of the tribal flags.
The three parts of the upper gorge are white, black, and red, and the four parts of the lower gorge are blue, blue, yellow, and purple.
"I didn't expect that this Zhang Wenyuan was resourceful and profound, and his appetite was even greater.
After destroying Heiyeli, now he will occupy Heiyeli's territory. ” Lao Yeli really sighed.
"We withdraw" "What" Ye Lizan of the green robe was puzzled.
"Unless we really want to compete with the Tang Dynasty, we will have no choice but to retreat."
Lao Yeli is really not as impulsive as a young man.
Last time, Tuyuhun took advantage of the fire to rob, but unfortunately he sweated and retreated at the last moment.
If they can withstand the pressure, capture Li Shimin, and then defeat the Tang army that comes to help, then they have the opportunity to take all the places on the right side of Longyou at that time.
Maybe Tuyuhun can take the opportunity to swallow Hexi, and even the Turks may send troops again.
It's just that the Khan flinched.
Even the four states that were captured were surrendered again.
Now the rebellion of the Tang Jianghuai has also been quelled, and the Turks have retreated.
On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty made peace with the Turks, and sent people to negotiate peace with the Great Khan.
At this time, the Black Yeli Department sent troops to attack Taozhou, and if it won the war, it was okay, and it was estimated that the Tang people would have to suffer this dark loss.
But he lost so badly, this time he originally wanted to lead his troops to come and scare the Tang people and let them return Heiyeli.
But now Tang Tingshi's reply is quite tough.
He didn't expect this kind of toughness at all, which also shows that the other party really doesn't take them seriously, and he is not afraid of them fighting.
Ye Lizhen also has no confidence that he can defeat the Taozhou of Zhang Wenyuan, an emerging star of the Tang Dynasty.
He didn't dare to send troops and horses to take the initiative to attack Taozhou.
If it really attracted the Tang Army's big report to resume the campaign, Tuyuhun might not have beaten the Tang Army.
Since it can't scare the Tang people, and they can't fight, they can only withdraw.
"The territory of Heiyeli was handed over to the Tang people" "Of course it can't be, but leave this matter to the Great Khan to negotiate with the Tang people, and let's leave this land alone for the time being."
"But we don't care, the Tang people will really take the opportunity to occupy it" Of course, Ye Lizhen knew that this might be the case, but he didn't dare to take any more risks now.
If he occupies Heiyeli's territory, what if it really attracts the Tang people's conquest, or even triggers a war between the two countries Ye Li is really not a young tribal warrior, he has been with Murong Fuyun for a long time in the past, and he knows more about the overall situation and Tuyuhun's strength than the young people in the tribe.
"Stupid Hei Yeli" Ye Li Zhen scolded hatefully when he got up and walked out.
Taozhou, Jiangxin City.
Zhang Chao didn't take Yeli's envoy to heart at all, and this self-confidence was due to the great victory in the last war and the entire situation today.
Datang has already freed up his hands, and Tuyuhun wants to fight with Datang, so he has to think about it first.

Although Datang actually doesn't want to fight Tuyuhun now, Tuyuhun doesn't know.
Tuyuhun is the most afraid to take a risk.
Murong Fuyun really had the courage to go out, and the city of Longxi would not have retreated like that last time.
As long as Tuyuhun didn't attack with all his strength again, with only the six divisions of Yeli, Zhang Chao had tens of thousands of troops in Taozhou, as well as the newly built defense system and reserve mobilization system, he was really not afraid of their threat of war.
The auction in Jiangxin City went smoothly.
Items are sorted, priced, and then auctioned.
The best of the auction were slaves, and then cattle and horses.
The base price of a young slave is fifteen sheep, and a woman is ten sheep, which is converted into points, which means that a young slave is worth seven thousand five hundred yuan, and a young woman is worth five thousand yuan.
For many government soldiers, they came to Taozhou to become government soldiers, and moved their families here, and each family was divided into at least six or seven hundred acres of land.
Although half of this land is mountainous, the remaining half is valley and half slope.
But even if only a quarter of the valley is counted, there must be one or two hundred acres, and it is very troublesome to reclaim so much land, not to mention planting trees in the mountains, and the slopes will also be reclaimed to plant some sorghum and the like.
What the soldiers needed most was labor, slaves and large animals.
Moreover, the soldiers also need war horses or mules, etc., which are just needed.
Tuyuhun slaves who could work and cattle and horses that could plough the fields and ride were very popular.
Fortunately, there are a large number, and Zhang Chao also set a special rule, each soldier is limited to two slaves, two horses, and five cows.
If there is no limit to buying, the price must be very high, but this is not Zhang Chao's original intention to get the auction.
In order to ensure that the auction will not be too hot and the competition is too fierce, Zhang Chao adopted a new auction method.
In a hidden auction, a minimum and maximum price is set for each item, and then the auctioneers are asked to place bids, write their prices on paper, and finally the same bright price.
The highest bidder wins In this way, one person only has one chance to bid, and after setting the upper limit, it also prevents the soldiers from opening too high a price and letting them bear the loss.
Since many government soldiers need to be on duty, many of the people who came to participate in the auction today are replaced by the family members of the government soldiers.
Cui Yingying also brought Xiaoqing and Du Siniang to participate in the auction, and she took Zhang Chao's 300 points and credits.
Qi Niang took more than 50,000 points from her father.
"Auntie wants to shoot something" Thirteen Niang got a box, the family sat in the box, she asked Qi Niang with a smile.
Qi Niang thought for a while, "Forget about the cows and horses, as for those young and strong male and female slaves, I see that everyone is fighting very hard, so I won't interfere."
I discussed it with your uncle, and I plan to buy a few smaller girls to raise. ” Tang women are accustomed to calling their husband's father uncle and husband's mother aunt.
Buying and selling slaves and maids is a very common thing in the eyes of the Tang people.
Zhang Chao sold more than 20,000 Heiyeli captives into slavery, and no one would say that Zhang Chao was cruel and unkind.
The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty established shortly after the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the rulers of the Li family were even the Jiangmen of the Northern Dynasties.
Therefore, they also carried silk beard, and there were quite a lot of slaves in the Tang Dynasty.
All kinds of official and private slaves, and even a quarter of the population of Chang'an City are slaves.
In the hearts of the Tang people, buying a slave is really as ordinary as buying a cow or a horse.
Slaves, in fact, have the same status as cattle and horses in the eyes of the Tang people.
Since buying slaves is equivalent to buying cattle and horses, naturally there are those who pick young and strong people to buy, and there are also those who buy small ones to raise.
"So, I'm going to buy more smaller ones too."
Cui Yingying said with a smile.
Although Cui Yingying only has more than 300,000 points in her hand, she can only buy dozens of small slaves and maids.
But Cui Yingying is still in charge of a huge business group for Zhang Chao, and she has a lot of resources in her hands.
Nowadays, many merchants from the Central Plains have come to Taozhou to sell tea and horses, but Cui Yingying plans to open up the liquor market in Taozhou, he does not plan to go back to the Central Plains to sell horses, he plans to sell some beautiful maids in Tuyuhun, and even directly buy some young and good-looking Tuyuhun slaves for sale.
At the beginning, when Zhang Chao heard that Cui Yingying wanted to do slave business, he felt a little difficult in his heart.
Although he himself made tens of thousands of slaves at once, he did not want his wife to become a slave trader.
But then I thought about it and felt that it was really not a thing.
Because the three views of the Tang people are completely different from his three views, there is no difference between a slave merchant and a cattle and horse dealer, they are just merchants.
Cui Yingying also plans to recruit some people from the Central Plains to come to Taozhou for business, recruit those unemployed, landless, and poor people, and be responsible for transporting them to Taozhou.
They are equivalent to hired workers in Shangtun Farm, who receive a salary.
If they think that they are willing to take root in this company and settle down in this company, the farm can also terminate the contract with them and let them settle down in this company and divide the land.

If they don't want to move their families here, they just want to work here to make money, and then return to the Central Plains in a few years, that's fine.
Set up a business here, recruit people to reclaim the barren tun fields, and exchange the grain produced with the Taozhou Lian Army for some Lianshi specialties, and even get some tax exemption and other privileges, Cui Yingying felt that it was actually a good deal, and she also supported her husband's career.
This Shangtun was originally proposed by Zhang Chao himself from the beginning, and he also supported Cui Yingying's desire to do this.
Shangtun is a means of filling ordinary people's tun and military tun, which is naturally of great benefit to the development of Taozhou.
Zhang Chao and Ma Zhou couldn't help but shake their heads as they watched a group of government soldiers fiercely scramble for slaves.
The maid is actually more popular than the male slave, and the competition is more intense, if it is not for the quota and secret mark, it is estimated that the scene will get out of control.
"San Lang, I have to order to reiterate that after the soldiers buy back the Heiyeli maidservant, intermarriage is prohibited."
The good and the poor do not get married, which is the law of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Chao just shook his head, even if the order was reiterated, it would not have much effect.
Especially those young government soldiers, they were originally sixteen or seventeen years old, and most of them had not yet married, but they could be regarded as physically mature.
Now buy one or two Yeli women to go home, you can stop him from marrying them and not taking them as concubines, but you can't prevent them from having something to do with these women, because the law of the Tang Dynasty does not prohibit the master from raping his own female slaves.
If the traitor is someone else's, he will be punished and compensated, and that's all.
Whether he is a traitor or not, Zhang Chao can't care about it.
However, Zhang Chao knew what Ma Zhou was worried about, these young government soldiers brought so many Yeli women home, and it is estimated that a large group of Yeli women will be pregnant with the soldiers in Taozhou next year.
At that time, a large number of adulterous children will be born, and they will still be of mixed Chinese blood Forget it, just mix it up, anyway, their father is a Tang person, and these mixed-race adulterous children are Tang people.
At that time, the education will be strengthened, and I believe that they will still be loyal to the people of the Tang Dynasty. t1706231537:
