Just when the war was tense on the front line of Chiling and the villagers in Shancheng fled one after another, a group of people walked against the road and rushed to Shancheng from all over Longyou.

These people are Hu chiefs of the prison prefectures of Longyoudao, with nearly a hundred people. In addition, their respective entourages are hundreds or thousands, and there are also dozens of people. Together, they are tens of thousands of people, and they look quite imposing.

However, although the prefecture allowed the people to leave the city, it did not allow these Hu chiefs and their entourage to enter the city at will. Most of them were blocked in the suburbs around Shancheng.

These Hu chiefs were not particular about this. Although they had entered the banish order of the Tang Dynasty, their customs had not changed much. They were not used to living in cities and carrying felt tents when traveling. Now it is spring again, and it is not hard to stay in the wild.

So soon, large and small tents were set up around Shancheng, which seemed messy. When people who don’t know this scene, they might even think that the riots of Hu have already surrounded Shancheng, which made the people in the city run away and dared not leave the city casually.

But to be honest, these Hu chiefs themselves do not want to come to Shancheng. After all, even the residents of the Tang Dynasty were not optimistic about the future situation, and they were also very unwilling to get involved in this muddy water in their hearts.

However, they each have their own family businesses, and it is difficult to escape if they want to run away. Moreover, it is necessary to be more careful to make a living between the two powerful countries.

It is indeed good to close the door and live their own life, but if they really dare to do that, no matter which side of the Tang Dynasty or Tubo wins in the next war, they will not let them go easily. So although they are a little reluctant, they still have to come up to inquire about the development of the situation.

Li Tong, who lives in the inner city of Shancheng, was also closely watching the gathering of the chiefs of the Hu tribes into Shanzhou City. He felt that the temperature was almost the same, so he told Lingzhou Prefecture to attract the chiefs of the Hu tribes to meet.

After obtaining the permission to enter the city, the chief leaders of the Hu did not dare to delay. According to regulations, they each brought two accompanying members into the city and left the prefecture.

When the crowd came to the inner city area, they saw that there were already many soldiers inside and outside the inner city gate, and even powerful crossbows were built at the walls at the top of the city, which was a tense and solemn atmosphere.

After seeing this scene, the Hu chiefs all looked solemn, and they all felt that the visitor of His Highness Yong was really bad. It seemed that this battle with Tubo was inevitable.

At present, they are only worried about the war situation on the Chiling front line, and they are not worried about their safety. After all, they are nominally subordinate to the governor and governor of the prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many members. If the Tang clan king really wants to issue any harsh government orders, they can negotiate and resist based on the situation.

The group of people came to the lobby of the prefecture with different ideas in their hearts and soon came to the front of the lobby of the prefecture. Then they were told that His Highness Yong did not meet them in the lobby of the official hall, but wanted to entertain them in the inner hall.

After hearing the news, everyone felt a little relieved, and they couldn't help but feel that although the King Yong was radical and thirsty, he was not completely indifferent and could still maintain some courtesy to them.

But when they came to the inner banquet hall, they saw that there were only more than 200 guests in the hall, and there was not even a meal. As for wine, drinks, meals, etc., they couldn't even see the shadow.

"Please ask all the officials to enter the hall for a while, His Highness Yong will arrive soon."

Liu Youqiu, dressed in an official robe, led several soldiers to stand outside the hall and waited. When everyone came, they lowered the steps to greet him, and bowed and said with a smile.

However, a bearded man in front of the Hu Chiefs stood in front of the hall but stopped walking. He looked up at the simple-decorated hall and said with displeasure: "Your Highness Yong is a noble person. We, the wild Husbands in the border area, dare not expect the nobles to come out to welcome him. But since we said that we would have a banquet for hundreds of tribes, why is the arrangement so simple? Is the situation of the Tang Kingdom so difficult that there are no wine and meat to receive the people who come to pay their respects?"

Liu Youqiu looked up at him and recognized him as the leader of the Xifeng tribe of Dangxiang Qiang, and now he serves as the governor of the Governor's Office of the Guizhou Governor's Office of the Tang Dynasty, named Xifeng Baishi.

Hearing the man's words and making trouble, Liu Youqiu was not angry either. He just smiled and said, "Today, he set up a banquet to treat all the officials. It is just a private banquet for His Highness Yong. Heyuan uses military force and all things to use. His Highness is unwilling to move to the banquet and show, so the banquet is simple. His Highness is also guilty of this and he specially asked the officials to apologize to the officials and allow you to stay and stay and save yourself. After all, it is just a private banquet and does not do national affairs and border affairs."

When the Hu chiefs present heard Liu Youqiu's answer, the reactions were different. Some people suddenly realized and even loudly praised His Highness Yong for his noble style, caring about the national fortune, not liking extravagance. But some people were like the white seal, and were angry and looked dark, thinking that King Yong was arrogant and rude, and neglected them.

But no matter how their reactions were, Liu Youqiu also made it clear that he would stay or leave and not force him.

Some Hu Ke, who were already in a state of lack of momentum, did not care about these things, and directly walked into the hall, and did not care about the resentful eyes of the leaders of the tribe. After all, in the land of Longyou, it was still the world of the Tang Dynasty, and even Tubo could only be surrounded by the west of Chiling.

If we could please the Emperor Yong from Chang'an, even if the leaders of the tribe were unhappy, they would not dare to target them easily and attack them across borders.

Liu Youqiu stood on the side of the hall door with his eyes narrowed. Seeing the Hu chiefs present enter the hall one after another, he couldn't help but sigh that His Highness Yong's strategy has become more and more proficient in using it. It was just a simple hall layout, so he found that the Huzhous of Longyou were also harmonious and dissatisfied with each other.

Although such a path is not worth talking about, it does not require anything to be invested in. You can test a lot of information by doing it casually.

Seeing everyone entering the hall one after another, although the face of the governor of the state of Zhizhou Xifeng Baishi became more and more gloomy, after a moment of silence, he still walked into the hall. After entering the hall, he ignored the waiter's guidance and kicked Hu Qiao, who had already sat down on the front, and angrily said: "Get out!"

Hu Kai was naturally angry, but after recognizing Xifeng Baishi's identity, he still dared not speak out and retreated to the other side.

There are many prefectures in Longyou. Generally speaking, the level of the governor's office is higher than that of Huzhou and can control several states. Hu Ke, who can serve as governor, is naturally stronger and is the leader of the large tribe.

For example, this arrogant Xifeng Baishi was born in the Sefeng tribe of the Dangxiang Qiang tribe. In the past year, after the Dangxiang Tuoba tribe, which was friendly to Tuyuhun, moved into Hequ, the Sefeng tribe became the largest tribe among the Dangxiang Qiang. The Guizhou Governor's Office even controlled the 13 Dangxiang Qiang states, which were definitely not something that the leaders of the small tribe could compete with.

After everyone sat down, there were still many empty seats in the hall. With the crisp sound of golden gongs, the voices in the hall were paused, and the soldiers in the hall shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness Yong ascended the hall!"

Li Tong appeared at the door of the hall wearing a golden robe with balls of gold yarn and walked into the hall surrounded by twenty sword guards including Guo Da.

The Hu chiefs in the hall turned their eyes, but their reactions were a little uneven. Some people directly avoided the seat and greeted each other, some just stood up and crossed their hands, but some people sat upright on the seat, just watching King Yong enter the hall.

Li Tong didn't care about this, and walked straight to a rope bed set up above the hall, looked around the hall, then raised his hand, and when the order in the hall was slightly restored, he spoke: "The little king was ordered by the emperor to stay in Jie Guanxi and inspect Longyou. Because he knew that the leaders of the tribes gathered in Shancheng, he specially asked the prefecture to set up a small seat to wait for you. They had new knowledge or had a shallow relationship, but after this day, public and private matters would inevitably have to frequently interact with each other, and they would become more and more deeply acquainted with each other."

The Hu chiefs present did not say how they were feeling before, but at this moment, seeing His Highness Yong's unparalleled and polite manners, he felt quite fond of him. Some Hu chiefs who had previously been proud of themselves also stood up and listened to the teachings.

After giving a brief speech, Li Tong sat down on the rope bed and waved his hand and said, "Let's set up mat."

With this order, dozens of soldiers walked into the hall and packed up the uninhabited seats. Li Tong lowered his eyes and watched the scene in the hall. Although there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was a bit of harshness in his eyes.

The Hu people under Longyoudao have 51 governor's offices and 198 governor's prefectures. In other words, if all the Hu chiefs of these prefectures are present, then at least more than 200 people will be included in the hall.

Of course, it is not realistic to let them gather here completely. After all, some are long, some are not informed, and some have simply been annexed by Tubo. Excluding various factors, Li Tong ordered people to set up 100 seats in the hall, but even so, there were still twenty or thirty.

Moreover, even these people present have different attitudes towards him, and only a few are truly polite and respectful. This is just a simple welcome to etiquette. If it is a practical executive order, there will inevitably be fewer willing to obey.

After the empty mats were evacuated, a fragrant wind blew on both sides of the hall, and many gorgeous beards appeared in everyone's sight with tables, cups and other food utensils.

Seeing this scene, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively. The Hu chiefs' expressions improved one after another. Their eyes kept looking at the Hu Ji who showed up, preparing to choose a woman who suited her wishes later.

But some Hu Ke also keenly discovered that the woman he had chosen to send was among them, and was carrying various food utensils to him.

The beards with colorful skirts were like colorful butterflies, scattering gracefully between the tables in the hall, diligently setting up food tables and various tableware. But when all the arrangements were stopped, more than 20 people were left empty, including the governor of the state, Xifeng Baishi.

"What does Your Highness Yong mean? Could it be that my minion is so humble to the point of being faced with reception in His Highness's eyes?"

Seeing that some Hu Kei were already equipped with tableware and waiting for the meal, but he was ignored, the thin Feng Baishi could no longer bear it, so he stood up and paused his feet and shouted angrily.

Liu Youqiu was about to come forward and introduce his identity, but Li Tong waved his hand to stop him, and turned around and ordered Guo Da behind him, "Call him to death!"
