In ancient times, there were no standard national boundaries. The spheres of influence between various forces were very vague, and the boundaries often overlapped.

From the perspective of sphere of influence, the Turkic sphere of influence is extremely large, almost twice that of Daqian. However, the sphere of influence between farming peoples and nomadic peoples cannot be simply divided in this way.

The value of land cannot be divided in this simple way. The combined value of all Turkic territories may not be as much as the value of Daqianyi land.

However, what Li Feng values ​​​​is not the value of their land, but the mineral resources in the Turkic territory, coal, copper, and gold. These are all good things. The Turks are not good at mining and utilizing them, so let him develop them.

In the evening, Li Feng practiced swordplay with Wen Xue as usual, and then got into He Jinse's fragrant bed.

After some entanglement, Li Feng asked: "When will your people send back the news?"

"It will take at least three days for the messenger to evade the eyes and ears of Anxi Military Town."

"How many tribesmen do you have?"

"Less than ten thousand."

"to be honest."

He Jinse was silent for a moment: "There are still more than five thousand people."

Li Feng said nothing and looked at He Jinse quietly. He Jinse was silent for a while before saying, "More than a thousand people."

After another period of silence, He Jinse finally told the truth: "Four hundred and twenty-one people."

Li Feng then smiled and patted He Jinse's butt gently: "It's a good boy to tell the truth. You only have about 400 people left. It's important to shift your strategy as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, after you come here, I will give you a proper place to settle."

After opening the skylight and speaking openly, He Jinse stopped hiding it: "The tribe will not agree. We have always been wary of Daqian."

"Then you convince them to agree. Besides, there are only about 400 of you, so I have no need to annex you. You have no value for me to annex you."

This was a slap in the face, and He Jinse was reluctant to do so, but he could only admit it.

"I will find a way to convince the people."

Li Feng smiled with satisfaction: "This is so good."

Three days later, the news came back, and two skinny young men came back with the news. According to He Jinse's introduction, one of them was Ye Hu's son.

Li Feng initially thought that Ye Hu was a personal name, but later he learned that Ye Hu was a member of the Turkic official system, second only to the Prince and Grand Duke, and had great power, equivalent to the position of the three Dukes in Daqian.

This Ye Hu's son's real name is Na Falcon.

The group that fled with He Jinse were all die-hard followers of Viga Khan, and they were all very important.

The two Falcons were not in good health, they were thin and tired, but they still managed to maintain their energy in front of Li Feng.

"The warrior of the Turks is worthy of his reputation. Come and give me a seat."

The Falcon did not sit down, but stared straight at Li Feng: "Prince of Daqian, it is impossible for you to allow us to enter Youzhou and accept your protection."

Li Feng knew this was the case early on, and He Jinse also reminded him, so he was not surprised.

"There are only about 400 of you left, how can you fight against syphilis?"

The Falcon looked at He Jinse with a slightly angry look, his eyes full of blame. How could their biggest secret be revealed?

"Don't look at her. I forced her to say it. I admire your courage and perseverance in fighting, but courage and perseverance are not omnipotent."

"The gap in strength is too big. This is the reality you have to face."

"The warriors of the Ashina clan..."

Li Feng rubbed his ears with a headache. How could he communicate with these semi-primitive people?

After Na Falcon finished shouting the slogan, Li Feng threw the persimmon on the table to Na Falcon.

After the falcon came in, he spent 80% of the time staring at the persimmon next to Li Feng.

The group of people at the highest level of the escape sequence have nothing to eat, which shows how difficult their current living environment is.

Facing these stubborn people, Li Feng could only explain to them in plain language: "Your people don't have enough to eat. No matter how brave the warrior is, he can't defeat the enemy on an empty stomach."

The Falcon devoured the persimmons and wiped his mouth with his sleeve with satisfaction. In his opinion, this was a very heroic gesture. He Jinse never thought there was anything wrong with this behavior before.

But after accepting Daqian's wealthy life, she frowned at the Falcon's behavior and lack of hygiene.

"Your Majesty, that's why we came here to ask for your help. As long as you are willing to provide us with food and weapons so that the people of the Ashina clan can eat and drink well, we will definitely be able to kill Mei Luchu and regain control of the Turks."

Li Feng smiled vaguely: "What then?"

"We, the Turks, are willing to conclude a brotherly alliance with the prince and provide 10,000 good horses and a number of furs and iron ore every year. The princess knows this part, and the princess and the prince will discuss the detailed quantity."

Li Feng's smile became more obscure. Just now he thought this guy had one brain, but he was wrong. He had two brains, but it made him look even stupider.

The Turks and the prince have concluded a brotherly covenant. Where will the Daqian court be placed? Let the Daqian court send troops to destroy me? The covenant will be invalidated and the Turks will continue to invade the border?

This plan seemed extremely stupid to Li Feng, but it was Falcon who thought about it for three days on the road before he came up with it. He thought it was extremely clever, but he never thought that in Li Feng's eyes, he was just a stupid donkey.

He Jinse, who had many dealings with Dagan people, also saw through this scheme. She looked at Li Feng first and saw that he just smiled, so she knew that Li Feng must have figured it out.

"That Falcon, King You is the biological son of Emperor Daqian."

He Jinse gave a vague reminder, but unfortunately the Falcon didn't understand.

"I know, that's why we came to ask the prince for help."

He Jinse sighed deeply at the stupidity of his people.

Li Feng smiled and said: "This Ye Hu has worked hard all the way. Let's go eat first and try our delicious food."

Although the temptation of delicious food was great, what Falcon wanted more was Li Feng's promise to form an alliance.

"Your Majesty, the matter of alliance..."

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it after dinner."

The guards came to take away the falcon. Li Feng looked at He Jinse, who lowered his head and said nothing.

"Actually, I can understand your thoughts. You have been free for generations. Even when Daqian's military was at its strongest, it only defeated you, but did not conquer you. You must not be willing to accept the rule of others."

He Jinse nodded, and Li Feng waved to He Jinse to sit on his lap.

Li Feng put his hand in, kneaded He Jinse's little cherry, and said: "Actually, we are wrong, and you are also wrong. There is no such thing as one ruling the other between the two nations."

He Jinse didn't understand.

"Whether it is Daqian or Turkic, there is actually no essential difference. You can eat whole grains, and we can also eat beef and mutton. There is no obstacle to intermarrying, getting married and having children."

"As for those different customs and beliefs, it's nothing to do with it, because within the territory of Daqian, the customs and beliefs of many places are also different. Don't you see that life in the north and the south is also good?"

"As for the question of who rules, in my opinion, this is not a problem at all. Whoever has the ability will rule. Turks who have the talent to govern the country and generals can also rise to the top and rule large-scale people and large-scale armies."
