Huo Gang was not surprised. He said it before, and the expression on the other party's face had already told him the answer.

"Oh, to be honest, everyone gives me these 70,000 sheep, it's no different for me. But since you are here, you are here, I can tell you the truth." Huo Gang thought for a while, and then changed his topic.

"Chief, please speak." Yi Nan said immediately.

"That's right. Actually, I don't have much favoritism for Jie Li. Although he is a Khan of the Eastern Turks, he is greedy and loves money but is timid, indecisive, and changes his orders every day. And the most important thing is that this time he sent an envoy to him, he actually wanted me to pay tribute to him." Huo Gang said lightly.

"That's why I brought up the matter of these 70,000 sheep. I am very clear about the relationship between your Xueyantuo tribe and the Eastern Turks, and I am also very clear about the relationship with Jie Li. Although you are nominally ascribed to Jie Li, I don't feel any disgusted with your Xueyantuo tribe. If you are willing, I will not target you."

"You can drive back these 70,000 sheep. I will ask Jie Li for another 70,000 sheep. If he does not agree, I don't mind going to war with him. Of course, I will pass through your territory at that time. I think you should not mind letting me live from your territory, right? And we can trade between the two, we can purchase the wool and horses in your territory, and provide you with some food, salt, and even steel. There is no problem." Huo Gang said with a smile.

As soon as Huo Gang said something, the few people around Yi Nan immediately became turbulent. If this could be true, it would be better than if they directly surrendered to Huo Gang.

"Captain Huo Gang, thank you for your importance to us. To be honest, we also want to form an alliance with you, but although we are allied, it is easy to destroy our relationship. For example, if Jie Li sends people to attack your people under our banner, we will really be unpredictable at that time." Yi Nan paused for a moment before speaking directly.

"So, we discussed..." Yi Nan was about to express his original purpose directly.

"Wait." Huo Gang directly interrupted Yi Nan's words. Huo Gang already knew what Yi Nan was going to say, but Xue Yantuo was not a small tribe, and Yi Nan could not decide the entire tribe alone.

"Let's do this. I think you have been on the road for two days and must be very tired. We won't talk about it tonight. I will ask someone to arrange a place to stay for you. You can rest for a night first, and then we will talk tomorrow. How about it?" Huo Gang said with a smile.

"Uh?" Yi Nan looked at Huo Gang in amazement. Huo Gang smiled and his face was very calm, but judging from what he interrupted him, Yi Nan knew that Huo Gang should have guessed what he was going to say.

But why did he interrupt himself? Shouldn't he just start talking today? Isn't this time giving himself time to discuss? Not only Yi Nan was stunned, but the people around him were also stunned. They did have something to say just now.

But due to Huo Gang's place, they had no choice but to their surprise, Huo Gang Juran took the initiative to give them this time.

"This...well, since that's the case, it's better to obey your orders than respect, so I'll trouble Chief Huo."

"No trouble, Huo Zheng, take a few leaders to rest and prepare some food for them tonight." Huo Gang said.

"Yes!" Huo Zheng immediately stood up and bowed and spoke.

After Yi Nan and the others were taken away by Huo Zheng, Huo Gang smiled. He knew what Yi Nan wanted to say, but these things were so anxious that he couldn't eat hot tofu. Moreover, since he had just told him to form an alliance, the people under Yi Nan were a little excited. Their previous choice was obviously forced to do so.

So Huo Gang gave them this opportunity, and was forced to join, which was naturally completely different from sincerely joining. Even if he just asked him to say it, it would not take effect immediately. The other party would definitely have a talk after he went back.

Instead of that, Huo Gang might as well give them the opportunity to discuss it, so that they can look a little more generous, and they will be more willing when they join.

In that case, if they still choose to join, Huo Gang would not mind directly reusing people like Yi Nan. If they choose to form an alliance, then Huo Gang would not care. It would be okay to form an alliance, because if a major drought broke out this year, Guazhou and Liangzhou would probably have a lot of Han population.

After all, the Xueyantuo tribe has a large population. When it comes to the collection, Huo Gang really has some food pressure. It would be fine if he really joins it. If not, Huo Gang still has to work hard to sort them out. Now the entire territory is in a period of rapid development, and Huo Gang doesn’t have so much time to mess with this.

After he stabilizes this year, starting from next year, they will enter the time when the highway expansion will start. The towers are raised from the ground and the foundation is laid, and everything will be easy to talk about.

Yi Nan and the others were quickly arranged in a courtyard, which was not far from Huo Gang's General's Mansion. Although the residences here were all felt tents, the entire courtyard was circled separately, which was actually prepared for Li Yi and the others.

The preparation of the entire felt tent was relatively luxurious. It happened that they were having dinner when they came, so when Huo Zheng brought them over, Wu Ping also arranged to deliver the meal.

There is nothing special. They are almost the most common ones they are now. They have no bran removal and a little spice and salt. But after all, they are guests from afar. There is a little more meat in their bowls, and their broth is enough, and the steamed buns are enough.

Huo Gang has no more things. Now Huo Gang eats basically these things himself. At the very least, because of Xia Zhu, Huo Gang eats a little more refined. But compared with what is not even in later generations, Huo Gang has long been used to it.

Yi Nan and the others were indeed hungry. Although this was a black-fried steamed bun, it was still a delicious food that was difficult to eat in a year. Almost everyone ate at least three steamed buns, one steamed bun was almost half a pound, and they drank two bowls of broth.

After the meal, all of them sat in the largest felt tent again.

"Captain, I have sent someone to see it. The yard is independent. Our people are guarding outside. There is no one from Chief Huo Gang here, and we can't hear us from the outside. The other party is very sincere." Da Gu arranged for someone to look around the yard before coming in to report.

"Well, everyone, you all heard what Chief Huo Gang said just now. I know you all wanted to speak just now, and now the other party also gives us time. Let's say, what do you want to say?" Yi Nan looked at them and said.

"Chief, since Chief Huo Gang said he could form an alliance with us, will we still maintain our Xueyantuo tribe? Our Tiel people have been passed down for so many years. If we completely join the Han Dynasty, then our Xueyantuo tribe will not exist." A Turkic man hesitated for a moment and spoke directly.

"Yes, leader, leader Huo Gang also said that he could even trade grain, salt, steel, etc. with us."

"I know, I heard it all, but I have different opinions from you." Yi Nan said calmly after they finished speaking, "It is precisely because of Chief Huo Gang who said this that I have become more determined to join the big man."

"Why?" Everyone else was a little surprised.

"Why? Don't you think that Chief Huo Gang has actually guessed what we are doing?" Yi Nan looked at them and said.

The few people in the felt tent were stunned for a moment, but they thought about it carefully and found that this was true. Huo Gang's various actions had already shown that he had already known their plans.

"Since Chief Huo Gang already knows our plans, he is still willing to let us come back and discuss, which shows that he respects us very much."

"And haven't you discovered anything? We didn't meet anyone along the way, but Chief Huo Gang has been waiting for us there. More importantly, you all know what the Yumen Pass looked like before, but what it is now? Have you seen it?!" Yi Nan looked at them and said.

"Yes! This change is too big! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that I was dreaming that only such aquatic plants would be near Juyanhai in our entire territory." The older man also reacted.

If Yi Nan didn't mention it, they didn't remember it for a while.

"Can Juyanhai compare with this place? Although Juyanhai has lush reeds, although there are a lot of grass around Juyanhai, they are also very barren. Have you seen the grass growing around Yumen Pass just now? More than one foot high! Such grass can only be found in places like Wuyuan!" Da Gu retorted directly.

"It's true...and this place was originally a Gobi Desert. Don't you understand yet?!" Yi Nan said with emotion, "I finally know why all the Turks in the Tongluo tribe are willing to integrate into the Han Dynasty. With such a grassland, our cattle and sheep will not lack grass."

"We can dry enough hay in summer and we don't have to migrate in winter. If this can be achieved here, then the legend of Huoci River should be true. Do you all know what this means? Moreover, what has the drought in our Xueyantuo territory turned out like this this year, but have you seen any signs of drought here?" Yi Nan looked at them and said.

Yes, what does it mean? Everyone was stunned for a moment. Of course they knew what it meant. It meant... Huo Gang was really the incarnation of the Heaven of Eternity as the legendary!

Looking at them, Yi Nan said directly: "So, I have made up my decision. Tomorrow I will ask the leader Huo Gang to join the big man according to our original ideas. However, I want Chief Huo Gang to take us to see Huo Cihe. I believe he will definitely take us there. If it is true, isn't this what we have always prayed for and requested that the life of Xueyantuo tribe granted to us by Changshengtian?!"
