The royal court no longer has the power of deterrence, so the people in charge of the entire grassland will be the big tribes like them.
As long as they go through a period of recuperation and continuously annex those small tribes, their strength will continue to grow.
By then, it would not be impossible to unify the entire grassland again.
However, Da Gan now wants to take over the entire grassland completely and allocate their own territories to them.
If we don't allow them to fight, we will not allow them to continue to grow.
How is this possible?
On the other hand, except for a few large tribes, most of the small tribes are indeed very happy about this policy of big action.
Because, in this way, the risk of them being swallowed up by larger tribes is fundamentally eliminated.
Moreover, their descendants can even go to school and become officials in the imperial court.
How is this possible?
This is totally unimaginable.
They and Da Gan are pure enemies.
Fighting for life and death for more than a hundred years.
How come Dagan's policy towards the grassland changed so drastically all of a sudden?
It is precisely because the policies revealed by Zhao Hao are really too generous.
Therefore, all the tribes didn’t even dare to believe it.
In order to find out the truth.
Next, they sent a new batch of envoys to Mubei City to meet Zhao Hao.
This time, these envoys were not sent randomly.
They all have extremely high status in each tribe.
Zhao Hao once again warmly entertained these people.
Once again, he elaborated in detail on Dagan’s policy towards the grassland.
In addition, the envoys were strongly invited not to rush back to the grassland.
It would be best to go to the capital and meet Her Majesty the Empress.
These envoys stayed in Mubei City and quickly sent people to convey Zhao Hao's suggestion back to their respective tribes.
The vast majority of people readily accepted Zhao Hao's suggestion.
Soon, the envoys set out from Mubei City and headed for the Dagan Imperial Capital.
After the messengers left, the imperial edict from the imperial capital arrived.
Xiao Chuyun was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenbei.
Return to Beijing to report!
That night, Zhao Hao once again prepared a grand banquet for him in the City Lord's Mansion.
Congratulations on his being made a marquis.
Originally, it should have been a very happy moment.
However, for some reason, Xiao Chuyun acted very uncomfortable throughout the entire banquet.
After the banquet was over, Xiao Chuyun stayed and went to the back with Zhao Hao.
Zoya served tea to both of them.
Zhao Hao probably knew why Xiao Chuyun felt uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
He only said that after returning to the capital, he would let Xiao Chuyun greet the emperor on his behalf.
Xiao Chuyun took the initiative to say: "Brother, in this battle, at least 70% of the credit lies with you."
"Without your new sword, new thunder bomb, horseshoe and caltrops, my brother would never have won this battle."
"It is even more impossible to be made a marquis."
"But……"
"Your Majesty, why did you only praise me but not you, my brother?"
"Brother, this is absolutely not what I want!"
Zhao Hao knew that he had been struggling with this matter the entire evening.
He immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Xiao, His Majesty has his own considerations, so don't think too much about this matter."
Zhao Hao thought to himself, my buddy’s mission isn’t finished yet.
Winning this battle and reversing the unfavorable situation is only the first step.
When everything is done, the benefits will be beyond your imagination.
Xiao Chuyun took a deep breath and said seriously, "Brother, don't worry. After returning to the Imperial Capital this time, I will definitely ask His Majesty why he didn't reward you for your contribution!"
Zhao Hao hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao, please don't be like this. Have you forgotten that when you return this time, you still have to report to His Majesty..."
"If His Majesty is displeased because of my affairs, then all my efforts will be wasted."
Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Xiao Chuyun's nose suddenly felt sore and tears appeared in his eyes.
I was so touched that I felt like a bastard.
What is a brother?
That's it!
Even at this time, you are still thinking about yourself.
Are there any other people in this world who are so loyal?
He has made such great contributions, but has not received the rewards he deserves.
But he didn't complain at all, not even the slightest bit of unhappiness.
What kind of realm is this?
Although the credit was taken away by his brother, he still considered his brother and did not care about his personal gains and losses at all.
Even if they are brothers from the same mother, I’m afraid they can’t do this, right?
Looking at Zhao Hao, Xiao Chuyun's pupils trembled. He took a deep breath and said word by word: "Brother, in the past, the two of us were of the same mind and could be called close friends."
"But, from today on, you are my brother!"
"No one can compare to me. We are real brothers who are closer than blood relatives!"
Looking at Xiao Chuyun, Zhao Hao quickly sat up straight and said, "Okay, big brother, please accept my greetings!"
As he said that, Zhao Hao knelt down and bowed to Xiao Chuyun.
Xiao Chuyun quickly helped him up, and then said: "Brother Hao, since you have acknowledged me as your elder brother, when I return to the capital this time, I will definitely ask His Majesty why he didn't reward you!"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes when he heard this. This guy is really...stubborn...
Seeing Zhao Hao about to speak, Xiao Chuyun immediately waved his hand and said, "Brother, I know you are doing this for my own good, but His Majesty and I have another agreement."
"Brother, please don't mention my affairs!"
Xiao Chuyun's eyes moved when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "Is that so?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "So, big brother, just take care of your own affairs, I will take care of things myself."
Xiao Chuyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "If that's the case, then I won't say anything."
"Brother, when you go back this time, you must come back as soon as possible to help you, brother Hao, fully implement the policy of pacifying the barbarians!"
The two talked until late at night before Xiao Chuyun left.
The next morning, Zhao Hao personally sent him out of Mubei City and back to Dijing.
After sending Xiao Chuyun away, Zhao Hao started to get busy again.
There is still a lot to do regarding the aftermath of the war.
Just providing pensions for the soldiers is a huge task.
Although the fallen soldiers have been buried, there are still various details that need to be arranged.
At this moment, on the Yue State side, the Crown Prince of Yue has not returned to the imperial capital and remains on the grassland.
This defeat dealt him a huge blow.
He knew that he no longer had the qualifications to stand up in the Yue court.
However, he was unwilling to accept such a failure.
For so many days, we have been waiting for people to come from the wilderness.
We need to continue negotiations with Huangman.
In order to maintain his position, he must get more support from Huang Man.
That's why he didn't return to China.
